You'll be shocked to learn that Robinhood also collects interest on your cash deposits and charges interest when you borrow money on margin. And gosh, other brokers like Fidelity also often route orders to Citadel. They're filling orders at the advertised prices, and following your limit price, are they not?

You could cry you don't like their prices or you think another broker offers better transaction costs, features, or fees, but talking about "trust" is a baseless smear.
Do you think it would be possible to build electric cars and rockets _without_ this brand of leadership?

Both companies were very close to failure several times. There was never a room for slack.
Technically, with crypto there's always the less than legal or privacy oriented stuff. Unless you're expecting all that to suddenly disappear there's still utility to back its value there, even if not to maintain its value at the rather overinflated values cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have (which are less practical for such purposes compared to say, Monero).

Plus, for the value to completely zero out you'd need lots of large organizations who have lots of money (be it ones who've borrowed it or ones who are 'holding' it for others) to not only run out of said money but also be unable to pull in new people with get-rich-quick schemes. Miners and stakers would also need to completely lose trust in cryptocurrency.

So, to zero it out, you would need a global economic crisis so large that it educates pretty much every 'sucker' out there, which is pretty unlikely to happen right now.

Amtrak wanted to end their private car services[1], but instead, just raised the price. There used to be "Private Varnish" magazine, but it's been discontinued.[2]

At one time, it was quite cheap to park a private railroad car at many downtown passenger railroad stations, because they were way underutilized and had much empty track. Not so much any more.

Blocking selling is a good way to get sued, so brokerages are very hesitant to do it. If the price drops the trader can claim they wanted to sell and are owed the difference. Blocking buying doesn’t have this issue since you can’t sue for theoretical gains.

> Elon has gone from being the hero of the left to the villain for daring to allow free speech.

I don't know if Elon Musk was ever "the hero of the left", or any tech executive for that matter? He definitely has his fans (among techies mostly), but you would be hard pressed for any hardcore leftist to see a CEO as their hero. The whole pedo thai diver incident turn even many left-leaning (and unaligned, and right-leaning) techies from pro to neutral or even negative.
While the points made were interesting, I had to stop reading almost half way because I found this post insincere and way too manipulative. And unlike most people on HN, I am very tolerant of marketing and enjoy receiving unsollicited commercial offers via email. This is the first time in many years that someone puts me off like this author, despite the fact that the points made are quite interesting.

However his content marketing scheme just felt way too inauthentic for me and made me feel that this guy isn't here to educate me, doesn't have my best interest in mind and does not give a crap about me.

Just posted it because many people on HN are "cargo-culting" (as people say here) tech figures, so wanted to advise people not to imitate this kind of marketing.

I guess my real problem here is that his product plugs are way too intellectually dishonest.

Musk made a bad call for sure. There's no obvious path to recouping that investment.

But calling twitter a "perfectly viable company" is part of the problem. It's comments like this that inflate the bubble. Twitter has thousands of employees who have done close to nothing for at least several years.

Facebook/meta are at least trying new things. Twitter seems to be afraid to make any decisions at all.
Possibly. Remember the goal is to keep data read from the drives unmapped in the kernel address space, and hence never accessed by the CPU for efficiency. So we'd have to give up, or at least alter, zfs to not do checksums each time a block is read.

The most interesting use of ZFS for us would be on servers with traditional hard drives, where ZFS is supposedly more efficient than UFS at keeping data contiguous on disk, thus resulting in fewer seeks and increased read bandwidth.

Trapped into a deal? Are you serious? No one held a gun to Elon Musk’s head and told him to buy Twitter. He did that on his own accord.

He should have just left them alone. If the executives were so incompetent, he’d have gotten a better deal by waiting for them to fail. Or shorting the stock like a normal investor.

I was taught to leave the month off your start and end dates of previous positions when applying for a job. Still don’t know if this is a good idea or not, but at the very least it opens up another dialog tree with potential employers. Seems to have worked fine for me, but who knows. The rationale was “it’s less information to parse”. Might be just a superstition.

Interviewers always ask for more specifics anyways, which is good because you can use that as an opportunity to jump into things you accomplished near the end of a job, or at the beginning of another.

Yes, and for good reason.

A company I was familiar with in the 80's had a subsidiary in another state with a couple hundred employees. They decided to close that office, and lay everyone off.

Being nice guys, they gave the branch 3 months notice of the closure and layoffs, and expected them to keep working as usual.

After 3 months, the parent company officials arrived to find the office building empty and looted clean.

> All the complaints about attribution… who cares.

I may not care if some guy I've never met uses my niche library without attribution. (I do care, really.) But Microsoft certainly cares if you use their code without attribution, so why shouldn't I take the same belligerent, copyright-enforcing attitude towards them? That's the main reason why people are angry, because MS has "rules for thee but not for me" by virtue of being big enough to have ~~good~~effective lawyers and lobbyists.
Not really.

Twitter is much leaner compared to Meta or Google, and they can't really be compared on many levels.

The experiment is nonetheless interesting.

I bet that the major influence if the layoff is the internal company spirit and morale, if the damage is too deep, the company could sink.

Fortunately for them, I don't think they really need a huge team to simply keep the lights on and the servers running.

I think it’s a good lesson for people picking companies. In the honeymoon phase of tech, the mythology created was that these elite startups have the type of culture where the boss is a revolutionary, you pick your own hours, beer and food, company outings, meaningful work, prestige, unlimited vacation, etc.

Well the truth is when you walk into a company that hires people for a quarter million dollars at scale, you are truly a number on a spreadsheet. The only way you can cut budget on 500 engineers at that price is not by firing Bob the underperformer, but instead 1/5 or 2/5 of that entire staff.

It should make you wonder what is that leetcode for? You are not that important or expensive in the backroom of some enterprise or medium sized business to be slashed like that. But when you are part of a 50 million dollar budget, bet your ass you have a 50/50 chance of being part of that 25 million the company suddenly wants to save.

The underperformer stuff has nothing to do with it.
I just went through it and I think they did it properly. Effectively the process went like this:

At 9am PST we received the email, a minute or 2 later we received another email, "If your role is being impacted you will receive an email in the next 15 minutes." Then, 15 minutes later, we received another email "If you haven't received an email, you haven't been impacted."

There was only 15 minutes of uncertainty for everybody. It felt well considered. Cold, maybe, but quick.

Expressions of solidarity with the powerless can help them weather the storm: they buoy hope, they increase perceptions of connection and of agency.

If everyone kept quiet about everything they could not immediately, materially, "fix", the world would be a far more desolate place for many. I guess there's no particular obligation for you to care, but would it actually be such a privation for you to stoically weather your indignation about others doing so?
> I want to purchase ebooks, but I want to own what I purchase!

It's probably one of the easiest to imagine headlines in all of this, tbh.
I'm from a country which basically ignore all copyright laws in practice. The musical scene relies on live sessions to generate any money, and the movie scene (which was never anything special) is mostly dead. That's because any media that hits the market is copied and sold everywhere. Even books, if they got popular, will get copied and sold with little enforcement, at every corner.

This is mostly because the means to copy requires little effort compared to the act of creating. So, there is no incentive to create because you wouldn't make a living out of it. Imagine spending two years writing a book and someone buys one and copy it to sell at 25%. He can make a profit at a lower threshold than you, so you as a creator cannot compete.
