Funny you’re getting downvoted, yet this was the entire reason for the metoo movement.

And the so called conspiracy theorists can now say they were right. It’s super concerning that you’ve basically given legitimate ammo to the most paranoid of society. This shouldn’t be the case. But now it’s going to be twice as hard to con

Well said. Saying Covid is not airborne 2 weeks after discovery, and calling it science, is almost the complete opposite of science. There is no way you could prove reproducibly 2 weeks after discovery that a new respiratory illness is not

Doesn’t really matter if it’s a bad deal if you’ve got $16bn of customer deposits to spend.

The only reason Germany become such an export powerhouse is because their currency was lower than what it would have been naturally as a country. Because countries like Greece and Italy pulled the euro down. This was very convenient for Ger

Very nice, but the EU is probably going to decline in GDP more than the UK, and the euro could potentially collapse due to the Italy situation in the next few years. Thinking the UKs issues are because of brexit are about as simplistic as s

This is such a simplified viewpoint. The UK has never been able to collect more than 39%-40% of GDP in taxes. And that's what the level is at now. Already everyone is paying as much tax as in history. (and the "rich" pay a lo

He didn't say overnight. Who said that? And Sunak just cancelled all fracking that Truss wanted to start. So the UK has basically decided to NOT have any form of cheap energy. You reap what you sow.

85% vs 125%? What are you on about? That's a long way from half. And the USD is the reserve currency of the world, the moment interest rates started to rise everyone moved into USD. The US is also energy almost independent. The UK has

I don't really understand the perspective your are saying. The UK was basically the ONLY country that helped Ukraine straight away when the war started, it was the UK that dragged the US along, and Germany is still dragging its feet on

It’s really sad that you need to explain yourself like this. Some people have the perspective that anyone who’s ever been on the Joe rogan podcast is a conspiracy theorist, yet anyone who they’ve ever read about on the NYT is a fully respon

Last time I checked Gab was 10m+ users. Gettr gets 7m visits per month according to similarweb. "Very few people" is a bit of an understatement...

They are a public company, they have an actual board, they are also audited by a big 4 accounting firm. This is MUCH more transparency than some corp in the bahamas. Obviously it's not complete security, Enron was a public company and

If what he's saying is true, there isn't really anything to worry about, and coinbase will likely be the winner here with a proven track record. If they are truly holding customer funds and crypto 1:1, then you cannot do a bank ru

I find it extra funny since SBF shared the stage with Bill Clinton and Tony Blair. Ofc I imagine he paid them a lot to be there, but still... He really wanted to be a statesman.

> ByteDance has been making loads of money from Chinese domestic market enough to spend $1bn in ads in 2018? That just seems unlikely to me, but I could be wrong.

> The fact that ByteDance spent aggressively on user acquisition to grow TikTok has been common knowledge for years: at one point, the company spent an estimated $3MM per day on acquisition marketing in the United States alone, and the c

> is not an engineer, has no engineering training or education or engineering accomplishments You should probably fact check this statement. There are plenty of people on quora or even here who worked with Musk. You are completely wrong

I wonder how many of the people who say “musk is just an investor and Tesla and spacex exist because of the engineers” now say Zuckerberg is clearly the responsible for the failures of Facebook. You can’t have both.

> I wonder if he'll be on pagerduty Considering he's the world's richest man and he's literally replying to customer feedback about the product on the product, yes, he probably is on pagerduty.

Frankly I am pretty sure there is a long list of talented execs who don't care how Parag was fired and would love to work for Musk. He's too successful now with too many fans for this to have an impact. People know he demands a lo

There is another issue here which is the external pressures platforms face. Platforms will always be judged by journalists based on their lowest common denominator of users. Journalists will purposefully turn off all filters, find the worst

How many conservatives are still on Twitter complaining about censorship, rather than using Gettr or Parler or Truth Social? Network effects are WAY stronger than we think. Also, if you built a following on Twitter over 10-15 years, leaving

So, create a court system basically that decides on free speech issues. Got it. Likely will arrive at the same conclusion as the legal system that’s been operating for over 200 years. There’s a reason the legal system said free speech is ou

This is a very broad statement. Google's search ads revenue are growing just fine... Youtube is down though. WPP is seeing increased ad spend as well. Conclusion? Probably that apple has fucked facebook to such an extent that it's
