And telling IT to support a new operating system company wide could be an expensive decision.


Republicans are following the Two Santas strategy. The democratic Santa is increased social spending. The Republican Santa is cutting taxes during their administration. The debt ceiling is used to force the next administration to pay for them, either by raising taxes or cutting spending.

I'm at a FAANG adjacent company and we do hire older ICs. Though I wouldn't want to be interviewing right now. Senior level interviews can be demanding, and junior positions hard to find.

It's crappy answer to age discrimination, but people pivoting can leave less relevant experience off of resumes. I've done that.


It could make sense. I'm assuming they will be doing actual work during that time. A paid 12 month long apprenticeship would be good for both parties. It's enough time for Meta to decide if they want to hire an employee full time, and a year would give sourcers a decent amount of experience if they wanted to leave.


Access control isn't great if an engineer was able to transfer vaults to a personal plex server.


Top tech companies could reduce comp by lowering hiring bars and wages. They don't think it's worth the cost.


Twitter is private, but Elon definitely destroyed value when he took it over.


Well, he did overpay by at least 50%.


He also paid 4x the price. And took out his frustration and vindication on employees. Doesn't come across as someone with sound judgement or vision


Trust and Safety is an extraordinarily difficult problem to handle at scale. Ideally guidelines should be public and applied consistently. That's a high standard.

Elon came in saying he was pro free speech, even saying ElonJet wouldn't be banned. But he fired moderation teams and replaced them by personally making individual decisions. Twitter can't get consistent application of public guidelines from that.

Agreed.

I agree, but the previous admin was not even trying to meet the "public and applied consistently" standard (see Twitter Files). So I'm hopeful that there will still be improvement in the long run. Hopefully this is a teachable moment for Elon.


Information being false or libelous is another reason to ban someone. That makes it more hypocritical that LibsOfTikTok was unbanned but ElonJet was banned.


FSD marketing has always seemed sketchy to me. Though I like Open Pilot. It's a much smaller scope for an L2 system to keep you in your lane and keep you a safe distance from the next car. It works well for highway driving.
