I has a phone screen at Coinbase and they just threw out 380k as the salary without me saying anything as far as expectations. This reminds me of the dot com bubble. In 2000 people who had no software background and were making 50k would ge

No I'm not a president or dictator, so no I'm not at the top of anything. I would describe myself as a realist. And in the real world it is extremely ineffective for everyone to have an equal voice in all matters. Have you ever se

I would like to hold a referendum to decide the organization's official stance on what is more attractive on a man between these two options: A. Hitler Mustache B. KKK Hood Do you think everyone should have to vote on that?

Having zero bots would be good, but obviously that isn't True. So instead they say a low consistent number and hope no one proves them wrong. Most importantly it doesn't appear to be getting worse.

The percentage of fake users has a high correlation with the value of the business. Twitter's value is higher if the number is lower. I'm not suggesting they just started bullshitting in the past month, just that they are not maki

The whole thing is BS. Twitter could have easily got an accurate number if they wanted to. And Elon could have forced them to do that as part of the deal or done a decent job on his own before the offer. Both sides are bullshitting to negot

Take this logic and compare AAPL and RIMM in 2009. This is why people are buying TSLA. If you think that GM is going to successfully pivot to EVs and that Tesla will not continue to grow 50% a year, that is a fine opinion to have, but if yo

Tesla FSD is quickly becoming less of a software problem and more of a problem of semantics. If the car drives someone to and from work 30 days in a row without a problem, is it truly FSD? What about 300 days? Where do you draw the line? 1

The more likely scenario is that some of the financial backers like Larry Ellison will ask Elon to renegotiate the buyout price due to current market conditions and the deal will fall through.
