It’s also losing more money than it has since it went public. And it turned off its API because Elon didn’t like it. The latter is what makes it a reasonable comparison.

What’s to “prove”? I don’t have to prove that Twitter turned off its API after Elon bought the company, that’s a fact. I also don’t have to prove he had something to do with it, it was well-reported at the time (admittedly that isn’t quite

These kinds of guerrilla techniques can work, but they only work once or maybe a few times. I'm inclined to believe they worked at that time and in that context but you're right it wouldn't work today. If you want to read

Given the state of the Twitter API post-Elon, I'd be incredibly unlikely to rely on this unless I have a business contract directly with Tesla with appropriate penalties if my app / access were to be revoked.

Nothing you said here is wrong, but it also doesn't explain how likely or not employees with those common shares will have made money. Having been on both sides of these transactions, I think it's likely that they made very little

I personally don't talk to recruiters unless I consider myself on the market. It's just a time sink and a distraction from what I'm trying to get done at work. Admittedly if I had a job where I was more fungible I might behav

Unsolicited advice: have a real talk conversation with your manager explaining that while his HR help may not make it easy to see this across the team, your total comp is about to take a nose dive and for opportunity cost reasons you may ha

Just keep in mind, dose-dependence is variable. It’s not a virus, but even one cryptosporidium oocyst is enough to get you sick.

Sorry, but while the meathead stereotype is probably not entirely unfounded, I guarantee that 1) I don't get my information from locker rooms and 2) weightlifters are plenty familiar with what a kilogram is.

Hmm, you’re right! And yet, all the sports nutrition that I’ve been reading is 1g per pound, not per kilogram. Sedentary lifestyle vs not, I suppose.

This is an interesting result, even though it seems to have arrived at the (edit: not!) same place sports nutritionists have been at for decades when it comes to the general population edit: 1g per kg. The things it says that I mostly hadn’

Sorry, in what way is Google in China? No offices, no employees, products are not sold there, the only way to access their web products is VPN. Apple, on the other hand, sells their entire product lineup there. Some part of manufacturing is

Most tracker apps have a setting you can apply that indicates which wrist you’re wearing it on, your dominant or your non-dominant hand. This is mostly so that the steps algorithm can adjust (somewhat imperfectly) for how your dominant hand

So you're saying the Indian caste system is well partitioned with respect to capability for tenure-producing work across a wide range of disciplines taught in IIT schools?
