FB lays off 11,000 people. I overcome my hate for FB and feel a little bit of sympathy for these people, might even want to hire a few if/when situation presents itself. Then I read this, I’m reminded of what FB is and who all created

I, personally, don’t think we’ll get to either of those two scenarios for a really really long time. Reason, too much money has been invested into them. I believe it’ll trickle to zero slowly, but very slowly, over a long period marked by l

So at the end of all this, only those with visa issues or the ones that are really bad at their job and hence desperate, will be left at Twitter. I guess he’ll be able to drive them hardcore . Personally, expect for those with visa issues,

I have no idea what's happening with Angellist. Sometime ago I was looking and was surprised to find that they no longer allow startups to list themselves and raise funding. Their model seems to have changed completely from how they&#x

Is there a mass email software that supports this? I haven't seen it. On a separate note, I'm sure that by now he's pretty much destroyed the entire culture there. So, while many folks will hang around for now, since economy,

I find it interesting that this is open sourced a few days after 11K were laid off. Was bulk of the team behind this laid off wherein it made sense to open source it to involve the community to take it forward rather than paid resources? To

First of all Twitter is SF based, and is NOT a Silicon Valley company. It's frustrating how many people get this wrong, and most of the times when it suites a particular narrative. Secondly: Not to say that Twitter, or other tech firms

You don't realize how pervasive WhatsApp is in India and how much of a premium product iPhone is there. You may be right, but I doubt it is going to be that simple. I have no idea what all Snapchat offers (never used/installed it)

Genuinely curious, what'll happen to these engineers if they're not able to deliver what he wants, since they don't have domain or system experience? Will they be given the benefit of the doubt or given the boot. I feel reall

oh so that's what the Tesla engineers were doing there. Migrating Twitter to run on Autopilot. Makes sense. No wonder 50% of innocent pedestrians are being trampled.

Quick comments: 42M Americans = ~10M households (assuming 4 per household). Starlink is $110/month and upfront $599, which puts it outside many/most of these remote folks. 10M household is the TAM, so SOM would be just 5-10% of th

Do these guys realize the stupidity of their own comments and still do it to con the public/investors OR do they really genuinely believe in this bullshittery ?

Exactly my point. So, it will always be limited in market size and hence it may be a gamechanger for a subset of the use-cases, such as the ones I mentioned, but not from an financial standpoint.

by yumraj 4y ago
But what's the size of the market? TAM may be huge, but what's a realistic SOM? In other words, how many people with hard wired fiber/coax will change to Starlink or will be be useful only for the rural/remote segment. Y
