Not that you’re wrong, but aren’t you kinda describing the archetypal VC-funded startup founder? :D

Isn't that exactly the parent's point? They are saying that many unprofitable companies haven't done their layoffs yet, because they're still coasting on huge funding rounds from 2021. Thus, there are more axes yet to

Elon has personal loans made using Tesla stock as collateral. If he is asked to post more collateral on those loans, and the only way he can meet those calls is to sell even more huge amounts of Tesla stock (which is a significant “if”),

No need for the weird shot at women. Streaming makes more money than esports, period.

Yeah, there's a lot of people here mocking Carvana, but the user experience is fucking phenomenal. (Yes, aside from the "user experience" of selling your car for more than it's worth). Buying from dealerships is not some

Yeah, but approximately no business or government agency in the world ACCEPTS gift cards as payment.

Honestly, even Calendly makes more sense to me. Massive addressable market, pretty mediocre state of the art, problem that people already spend real money to solve (poorly). $3B is high, but I can see a world where it’s justified. Employee

Grammar pet peeve: this is the wrong way to use “let alone.” The “bigger” thing should be listed second, not first: “He wasn’t capable of lifting a mouse, let alone a 500-lb weight!” “She couldn’t see her hand in front of her face, let alon

well for one, I didn’t know Lichess was open source. But for another, even for an open-source project, I love the super public-but-detailed approach to this bug solving. It almost feels like a bounty.

Off-topic response, but I had no idea Lichess did community-driven development like this. Very cool.

I think daily check-ins are valuable as long as everyone knows that "same as yesterday" is a valid answer, and not problematic in and of itself.

Sorry, their official MFA policy was "just go find a random one"? How would that even work? Do they have a contract with every MFA service?

The way I heard the joke was "a data scientist is someone who's not good enough at math to be a statistician, and not good enough at programming to be a software engineer." Maybe a little harsh...

I know airdrop was pretty big in U.S. protests in summer 2020, and reportedly in Hong Kong as well. Obviously not very helpful for pre-planning an event, but good to change plans in the moment.

I don’t understand why people keep saying this. Twitter was a public company. You can see from their financial statements that they recorded positive operating income for all of 2021. Not very positive! They weren’t a great business! The

I doubt they walk into work every morning and pick from a big board on the wall, but if you don’t have some influence over the kind of projects you’re working on, you should get a new job.

That’s a good point, I should have picked my examples better. Thanks for the clarification.

I mean, I think it was a very explicit dig. The founding idea is that giving $10,000 to save, y’know, four ailing dogs with bad livers or whatever, or a community theater, as opposed to many human lives, is fundamentally wrong. “If you’re

Oversimplification, but: Alameda made a lot of money on paper, kept mostly in incredibly volatile assets. Over the last week, it turned out that those assets were worth very little.

How would you really blackbox a search ranking, though? A website owner can always just search for themselves, and see how their ranking changes. When there’s so much money at stake, people will go to great lengths to reverse-engineer the t

Why do you completely discount qualitative evaluations? If I say I feel shitty all the time, and then I go to therapy, and I say that I feel less shitty all the time... why is that invalid data?
