He didn't fire them, the president of the company did for harassing their coworkers and wasting time.

Pretty sure that was settled? Also I have an NFT of a bridge I am trying to sell, interested?

So free speech absolutist means you tolerate incoherent yelling in all places at all times? While you're trying to focus and get work done? While you're trying to sleep? At your wedding? At a funeral?

No they chose to remove unproductive, toxic people who were distracting away from the people actually doing the work.

No but if I am paying him $300/hr and what he is doing is not related to fixing the toilet and is in fact causing me more problems or distracting the electrician who is also costing me $300/hr. Getting rid of him is not petty tyra

There is a difference between a social media platform user experience and an employee you pay to work. In the first case you are hoping they will use their free time on your platform. In the second place you are exchanging money to get them

You are paid to work and solve problems not create problems and harass colleagues. If you feel it is worth it to risk your career on a letter do not spend one second of company time on it and do not use a single bit of company technology. H

That quote was highly racist to me, I think it is insulting to say “budget culture” which is really planning, measuring, estimating, forecasting etc. is somehow rooted in “White” anything. Every culture that still exists has incredibly impr

It very much is, it is complex but ultimately it is just balancing an energy system. If calories in > calories out then you gain weight etc.

I guess if the central thesis is that there are people dumb enough to believe that a mattress will make them fit then they are also dumb enough to believe that saving will somehow double income then that fits. I mean PT Barnum was right, th

This is a little ridiculous. Budgeting, which is simply not spending more than you make, absolutely works. There are tons of Americans who suck at this at all income levels. There was just an article the other day where a lot of people maki

Look if you’re going to ban politics from the office to be “focused professionals” you really HAVE TO nail the professionalism bit. Rescinding offers etc is beer league HR and Planning. What a clown show.

There is a much larger gulf between Tier 3 and large state flagship research university than large state school and a perceived “elite” school (Some Ivies, Stanford, CMU etc). But TBH some of the best education I have ever received in terms

by pcmoney 4y ago
Its not like those schools are demonstrably better its that those schools are exclusive and provide social connections to elite social classes. The whole point of them existing is to be exclusive more than it is to educate.

It actually is not that useful because you cant base any actions off of it. Eg: “tell me if this flight is delayed etc”

Everything slows down. Almost every CFO wants to be more cautious. Some companies get more aggressive, since they want to seize the opportunity in the marketplace and possibly get talent for cheap. This typically has pros and cons for the e

As I have said before: Its the verge and they are a joke now. They have one article lately and its “tech company bad”. They basically pander to people who want to think they know about tech but aren’t in tech and likely couldn’t make it in

If hipster culture is predicated on being different/“not like the other girls” then by definition it is unscalable. The whole point of a lot of things is that they are unscalable and if they somehow do scale they are not longer what th

The issue is the knowledge of bad things you cant change and wont impact your behavior at all just makes you informed and miserable. Being informed is not a universal good, more is not always better. Should have a personal cost/benefit

Bots contribute easily a third of the value of the Twitter service, they aren’t “fake”. This is a terrible analysis.

“Full health coverage” according to all my EU and especially British friends I would still be on a waitlist for a surgery I had 2+ years ago.

Sure but the product has to meet expectations otherwise you are claiming the person buys it, pays 10x, gets it, realizes it is exactly the same as the product that costs 1/10th and then buys it again?

Exactly, Hanes, Fruit of the Loom etc. all raced to the bottom years ago. I have had Patagonia underwear last 10 years+ and still look new. Maybe life is too short for bad underwear?

by pcmoney 4y ago
So your theory is people have fruit of the loom and buy meundies or some other DTC brand with no real brand recognition and they keep doing it BECAUSE its more expensive? You don’t think the do a calculation like: “sure its 10x cheaper but

Poison Pills are rarely exercised, this is a positional move. Unlikely Elon is the only interested party at this point. If the board can use a pill to force a slower buy-out discussion and negotiation it is very much beneficial to sharehold

What is really interesting is that phrase’s presence in that message makes it seem like he did not pass it. That seems like a PR move, maybe to mislead and save face, maybe to indicate what went down.

Non-profits are typically just a mechanism for turning wealth into status. Mostly useless for all other concerns. You would need to self host on Bluesky. Also it is just an open social standard that Twitter would be part of it. It would not
