  • Twitter staff nearly decimated by Musk's 'extremely hardcore' demand

    Amazing how so many people who see this as a political exorcism can’t see the simple numbers. The staffing is maybe down to 900 people from about 4x that amount just weeks ago. Even if 30% of the original amount were superfluous, organizations don’t get gutted like this and still prosper. Witness the fact that some of those originally laid off had to be hired back because the reduction in headcount was overzealous and indiscriminate. And hiring skilled replacements is impossible when the workplace is publicly seen as unstable. 

    The core of the engineering team left yesterday, discouraged by the way Musk has handled the HR side of dealing with the employees, preferring a combative approach. If anything, this chapter in Musk’s career should put an end to the myth of Musk as a genius—he’s handling this like a moody teenager with scores to settle. 
    4x? More like 8x. 4 x 900 = 3,600. 8 x 900 = 7,200. IOW, he’s lost ~88% of Twitter employees in 2 weeks.

  • Goldman Sachs credit card practices under investigation by US watchdog

    The interest rates are high. I have >800 credit and still have 21%. But I have no complaints about their service or conflict resolution.

  • Apple TV+ may get new NFL Plus service together with Sunday Ticket

    I already have NFL Network and Red Zone with Comcast. Plus NFL Live daily on ESPN with Laura etc. What more could NFL give us that would be worth $5 a month more?
    For me, I live really, really far away from the team that I support. Which means that I cannot watch the games live unless I both buy DirecTV and pay for the NFL Sunday Ticket. That’s about $1000 a year total, which is kinda unappealing to me.

    Currently, I pirate the games using hidden VLC streams. If I could pay someone $5 a month to legally watch the games live, shut up and take my money.

  • GOP lawmakers mull taxing Big Tech to subsidize broadband access

    tdknoxtdknox
    Why not just collect all the taxes from the billionaires that they aren't paying? It will pay for a lot more than just broadband.

  • Apple says clean Apple Card with a microfiber cloth, avoid contact with leather and denim

    tdknoxtdknox
    So, people who have leather wallets should just not carry the card?
