It's far too little. I can't get too upset about the investors; they had the opportunity to do their own due diligence and chose not too. She lied to patients, subverting systems meant to protect people against fraudulent medical

I suspect Elon wildly overestimates the attraction of working on Twitter. For Tesla, it was one of a handful of places in the world where you could work on electric cars. SpaceX was one of what -- maybe 3 places in the world? -- where you

It's shocking how incompetent youtube is. eg a (presumably reasonable?) use case: watching a video, posted more than a year ago, and you want to see the either (1) immediately previously posted; or (2) immediately next posted video. B

Or it's pure RDD (resume driven development.) That said, you can figure out (just ask!) if this person was brought in as the result of an already-made decision to move to this type of development, or if this person is pushing it. As a

An unfortunate parallel: the best physics professor (unfortunately, just an adjunct) I ever had was a Russian immigrant. He quit teaching to go run a blini restaurant because it paid way more :(

It's more than a rumor https://twitter.com/gergelyorosz/status/1588907407002185729 Gergely is respected and not in the business of repeating rumors.

Some of it was an accounting loss as I understand it. Eg last year they lost $200m-ish, but $600m of that was stock-based compensation. So they were cash flow positive. Of course taking a company private means you can't use the marke

You can also use a lot less water than is standard: just enough to cover the noodles. Kenji Lopez-Alt has written about this a bunch [1]. Noodles cooked that way were indistinguishable in his testing. He's also discussed it on his c

Multiple reasons: Musk spent a bunch of time bashing twitter's moderation efforts pre purchase. He's then spent a bunch of time mocking advertisers' wish for brand safety [1]. He chased that with calls to harass advertisers

> Is it that big of a deal? Yeah. Companies typically come into the year with budget allocations. Some percent of that is going to upfronts / presold, for which you get a discount. Twitter has a not-particularly compelling product

Ironically, I think Twitter started actually building product for the first time in a long time recently. One frame through which you could view Twitter is it was the place where famous / popular / important (athletes, movie stars

Stephen King can easily show he's real: his publisher can mention his handle, he can print his handle in his books, his web page, facebook page, etc. Similarly for journalists: they can add their twitter link on their author page. Or

Some people really view their coworkers as an opportunity for forced socialization / to make up for their lack of social life. True story: a new employee moved to sf. In my office, we had a standing weekly drinks night at the local.

I briefly worked at a company that sold to restaurants. Just to emphasize this: they are hammered by people dialing for dollars. So OP is competing with SDR teams running sequences through outreach.io or similar. Realistically, OP has t

Not really. The author was super clear -- sentence 1, para 2 -- what his goals were: "I travel to get an idea of how other people live." And from that, everything follows.

I've tried it. The support is incompetent. In my case, not only did they not solve the problem, but I was 6 emails deep before I got someone who could competently read English. My interaction: messages backup wasn't working. I

It made sense for me -- I own no gaming devices, and my only computers are macbook pros with shoddy graphic cards. There are occasionally games I'd love to play, but I don't want to pay $500+ (ps-latest, xbox X) or $2.5k (compute

I think the point is that Google nailed search so well -- and the $ chased eyes -- that they never really had to learn to build products that aren't constructed in the face of early, overwhelming demand. All the hard work of listening

It's likely not a sincere concern for user security, or eg google could grant ublock origin and a handful of others permanent mv2 access. And nobody else. Or require stringent whitelisting. etc. There's no rules here except th
