It's strange to attribute failure to the blockchain in this case. There was no visibility into how much leverage was taken on by Alameda because they aren't borrowing through DeFi means. This a traditional finance problem where a

That is too much copium.

That depends. There might be a premium for advertisers to pay to target the half of ads that blue users can see.

If the new buyer has a complete different vision, wouldn't it make more sense to hire the right people to build out that vision and have them innovate towards that instead of retaining the old people innovating for the old vision? It&#

Isn't it a bit early to judge when we haven't seen the new strategy for how to address this issue?

Okay? are you alright?

Many of my friends and family who moved over to Signal ended up using it permanently.

Why do you think this would end up like Parler 2.0?

Why is it mutually exclusive?

Your original comment made it sound like businesses shouldn't layoff people because they were people who had real lives. After reading this follow-up, I realized you have no issues with layoffs, but you actually just had an issue with

No one is contesting the merits of infra at scale. There are essential teams that would likely be untouched because their job is operationally critical. However, other teams for less vital jobs would be cut. I think you are making an assump

It's not that black and white. It's nuanced, it is situational, and it is conditional.

That was a hard red pill to swallow.

Well the current events says Engineers were asked to print code which applies to only relevant parties (ex, people who are expected to commit code). If you are QA testing and aren't expected to commit code then it should be obvious tha

I didn't really understand yakaccount4's take on this. If they are concerned about optics, what can one do to not layoff? would they just let the company continue to perform mediocrely and continue to bloat its burn just for the s

You're mistaken. I am not wishing for it and my comment doesn't "wish for it". I am just not against the decision that I clearly have no say in. I'm just looking forward into a decision that was already made.

Fair point. Agreed on the surgical layoffs. I assumed that Twitter's culture was rotting very deeply already since they haven't made much progress for a long time.

How could you judge what it can become before it has became? Seems premature to leave if I was an employee not getting laid off. It really depends though, if I was an employee there then I would know who was lacking and who was performing,

I don't think that would happen.

I don't know why comments are so against these layoffs. Twitter is known for having a "chill" work environment and I have heard many stories of people just slacking off and doing other things while getting paid. I would actua

I looked at the landing page, but don't really understand when I would use this. Could you give a few examples of why this is useful?

I just hate that I need a mobile plan now to use most services that require SMS 2FA. I want to be able to down everything without a phone number.
