Random Stranger posted:$44 billion in dollar bills is roughly 55,000 cubic meters of dollars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YUWDrLazCg $44 billion as a stack of dollar bills would be about 4,400 kilometers tall. Or laid on its side, it's the road distance from Tijuana to NYC.

Gomez Chamberlain posted:I have never understood this attitude in this industry. There are three tech workers. Senior Devs who have made themselves irreplaceable by being the only one who knows how something works. They don't want to rock the boat. Senior Devs who have built up skills enough that they can migrate from company to company with better offers all the time, unionising might look bad to a hirer and a union would make it harder to get hired. Junior Devs who are just out of college who are aware of the millions of new grads every year breathing down their neck and how replaceable they are in an industry that's all set up to easily cycle and replace them and they're scared and don't want to risk it when companies could just replace their entire junior dev teams in theory Also every one of these people is antisocial Also half of them think they're geniuses who'll be ceo of the next breakout app they're working on in their spare time Also most of them are vulnerable to Twitter chuds who convince them being anti union is smart MikeJF fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Nov 11, 2022 |

re: tech unionization. It also really depends on the company's existing labor structure. The NYT tech/product engineering overwhelmingly voted to unionize this year and part of it was the existing union structure on the other side of the house: https://nytimesguild.org/tech-vote-count/

Wasn't it ruled a while ago that social media platforms aren't responsible for what their users post? I remember that being a big talking point/campaign promise when Trump was in office.

SuddenCactus posted:A question: Do the companies/people that get impersonated have any sort of legal recourse against Twitter? I think a legal argument could be made that this was something Twitter is liable for since two weeks ago it wasn’t a problem, the new verification was introduced before roll-out and people predicted this would happen, and then it launched and everything people said would happen, happened. You even have Musk engaging with the criticism before the rollout, and hand-waving issues away in a manner that could be described as “negligent.” How it hashes out probably depends on how quickly the accounts shutdown, and how long new accounts keep popping up. One day? Probably doesn’t go to court. A week or longer, including press coverage for certain companies or individuals? Now we’re talking. Another what-if: what if Eli Lilly is trying to contact Twitter right now, and can’t get anyone? What if they’re talking to Elon and he keeps redirecting the conversation to ad buys. Now we’re in extortion territory.

Here's a good summary of yesterday and today's insanity, with a couple nuggets I hadn't seen in this thread yet https://www.platformer.news/p/inside-the-twitter-meltdown quote:Those last two words would loom larger in the hours afterward, when Roth and Wheeler indeed tendered their resignations. So did John Debay, director of software engineering. That left massive holes in the product, trust and safety, and sales organizations, further increasing the difficulty for Musk as he attempts to retain and recruit advertisers. quote:The company has been working to make that a reality. On Nov. 4 the company named Esther Crawford, who has been leading the rollout of the new Blue, CEO of Twitter Payments, according to a screenshot viewed by Platformer. The company is currently seeking a money transmitter license in Washington, according to the message.
