How is it ethical for Mozilla to lay off 70 people which was in news recently? Shouldn’t those people get moved to other roles? How is it ethical to lay-off so many people and then preach ethics to others who may have difficulty paying rent

My jaw drops every time I hear about SpaceX and Tesla. How could Elon grasp two extremely different and difficult technologies and build such amazing companies within a decade. I have difficulty learning new things. Some pointers will help.

I visited major bank websites on Linux but I couldn’t login and got the error “agent not supported”. Why do banks prevent logins from Linus even though I am using Google Chrome. Can someone please tell why this happens.
