One could argue YC is close to that too. But instead of having them in house - their relationships with TechCrunch, HN, etc are a broad megaphone to their desired audience.

what is the incentive for anyone but the technology adopter or politically inclined to move from Twitter to Mastodon? For almost all users, Twitter is free, and has all the users? The only reason I've heard someone suggest to move from

I agree. My favorite foods, that I rarely eat for health reasons, are brisket & wings. I believe the Beyond meat burger tastes much better than most beef. I prefer them to the black bean patties, etc.

After that there is unemployment insurance for a while. They'll be fine.

That means little for the long term. What happens, is many companies do such things to "make a story of it" to appease some advertising base, and then quietly when no on is looking, or cares, in a few months companies quietly re-a

Wouldn't a probability model also suggest our universe, galaxies, and solar system are all probably.... typical? The probabilities of trillions of galaxies suggest it is more likely we are 1 of many, rather than 1 of 1. Just because, f

My wife is a Montessori teacher of 1-3rd. From what she's told me, students transitioning to Montessori should do it as early as possible. Apparently older students in the "established" system have a hard time achieving the m

Not saying it is a fix, but unemployment insurance is there too.

I get your perception, and have heard similar from a select few. But the issue is what interviews, recommendations, and firing are meant to solve. I'd bet there are enough people who would still be willing to get Twitterites a chance.

This isn't about acceptable or law - it's basic company risk management.

by czbond 4y ago
It's done on the scale of whatever time frame the management think the risk exists. In this case, if management thinks that risk exists for months - still acceptable. While unusual, if management needs to end the employment of staff bu

In the U.S. for security purposes - you definitely cut off email access before actual termination. Employee actions are unpredictable, and poses a legal & liability risk to the company. Not a lawyer, but employees are only required ema

You're confusing having THE reserve currency (for now) with having a healthy & robust economic economy or program. U.S. debt situation is just the least ugly of all the ugly. You have to pick something, so for now, the $USD is it.

Disagree. A CEO does not cut employees during a time when others are laying off unless business doesn't need / can't support/ not prudent to retain those employees. Why? Because periods like now is the absolute best time

Ya know.... Founders and CEO's are responsible every day. They created the business for people to have jobs, they have to deal with it when the business cannot support the jobs. When things in the macro economy change, sometimes the bu

"Markets" don't, but the market makers do. And that is to take all your cash while making you think you are making sound decisions.

Think of cash as a call option premium for being able to buy future investments at a lower price. People tout the "cash loses to inflation" mantra as an absolute - they forget that in large market downturns, cash availability comp

In the markets, the hardest thing to mentally is usually the correct one over time. The markets goal is to trick everyone - so you have to be strategically, but intelligently, able to craft contrarian perspectives.

Choose your own storyline version. If you don't think you can do it because you're not rich - you're right. If you know you can do it because you are not - you're right.

2 people 1 middle income wage with kids (most I knew had young kids).... is close to scraping by. Some were on foodstamps. Meaning - it can be done by many in the U.S. - that's the take-a-way for everyone reading this.

True - but most founders don't have any of those. I know many, many founders. They were all broke as f*ck for years to build it, living off a spouse working ... to magically exit. It ain't money, it's hard work eschewing the
