I'm appalled because it depicts the Chinese deliberately hurling the virus towards us. Considering the context of the other posters, widespread Covid conspiracy theories, and asian hate crimes skyrocketing, do you see a more benign mes

One of these posters depicts a Chinese athlete curling a virus towards the viewer. How is that not a racist dog whistle?

TikTok highly optimizes to the individual, but from what I can tell there's little toxic political material, partially due to the threat of censorship or reduced reach. Filter bubbles are a thing, but nothing like the rabbit hole of Yo

> Nobody in the mainstream consumer space wants an irreversible cryptocurrency. Venmo and Zelle are both irreversible and mainstream but can't be used globally.

I disagree, Libra had absolutely massive potential with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp behind it. Stabilized by multiple fiat currencies it would hold value well, and it could power a global Venmo (via WhatsApp), capture a large portion

I think maybe they banked too heavily on getting their crypto Libra/Diem going in order to power monetization of WhatsApp/Instagram. It could have been as slick as Weixin/WeChat pay and dominate the cross currency remittance

The kicker for me is based on my age, savings rates, and planned spending, a 30% drop from FB level comp could put retirement nearly twice as many years in the future. I’d have to really hate my job to give that up, especially since he note

If he had a $330k salary, 30% is roughly $100k. Take 50% for marginal income taxes and he’s banking an extra $50k/year into retirement savings. That’s almost enough to support a comfortable year of retirement for most FIRE people, even

by dahdum 5y ago
I didn’t see retirement addressed, that would be among my top priorities personally. Unless he’s already financially independent and can retire at will, taking a 30% paycut off FB’s top 5% comp could mean delaying retirement by many years.

Even if that happens and they reduce vacancy from 44% to 10%, it looks like each location will still barely cover the location operating expense, with nothing leftover to cover the others. In my admittedly naive view it’s a pretty gory sigh

The doc reads like it took a design team a day or so to come out with the new logo, then they handed it off to an MBA heavy group to retcon into something to justify the massive bill they wanted.
