to be honest I buried the lede. I withdrew largely due to the long interview process. I had ghosted or left them on read for a week but the viral news reminded me.
Thinking how it would impact me directly? Probably not much. But this is a small company. If leadership is this sloppy at covering up extra marital affairs. How bad is it on the inside?
Shitty leadership in my experience often correlates with awful company culture.
Ignoring clickbait title, this is impressive. Networked devices used to be the limit on data transfer.
Are there any devices even capable at reading/writing at 125,000G/sec?
Seems breakthroughs here are more relevant to for backhaul networks.
Don’t these C-level guys usually get a golden parachute? He “tendered his resignation”, but probably still got some severance. Board could force him out but probably triggers some other vesting/equity clause. So having him “resign” but give him golden parachute.
I was interviewing with this company 💀. Withdrew my application/interview last week because of this.
Didn’t leave a reason. Just emailed recruiter, “I am no longer interested”.
Also, they have like 6-7 interviews with various people in company.
oof, what a blunder. No more late night Lemmy for me
Somehow replied to wrong post, oops!
so much for “transparency” from the orange man administration. Probably Trump or Trump Jr on the list.
explains the recent pump in my old BTC and ETH assets from 2021, lol.
Stephen Colbert was probably the only reason I turned on network TV late at night. What a blunder.
What’s killed American innovation itself is the billionaires and their lap dogs — the greedy capitalists, vulture capitalists, private equity, and hedge funds.
Outsourcing to China and decimating our local manufacturing industries, and subsequently losing important skills over generations is a problem caused by these greedy fucks.
It’s no wonder the USA is no longer competitive. Greedy Wall Street fucks in the 1970s-1980s sold our future so they could make a pretty penny in their generation.
Fuck reaganomics. Fuck trickle down economic theory. Fuck the centrists and GOP that allowed this corporate/billionaire welfare state to take hold over this country.
Smells like corporate meddling.
Reminds me of the 60 Minutes and CBS controversy. In the mid-90s, producers worked on a segment to expose big tobacco knew about the dangers of nicotine yet sold products anyways.
Big tobacco laid down the pressure on 60 Minutes and CBS network. 60 Minutes was huge back then and had high levels of journalistic integrity. Ultimately, CBS executives killed/delayed/manipulated/watered down the big tobacco story. CBS was at the time was apparently in merger with Westinghouse and executives were pissing their pants the big tobacco lawsuit could kill that M&A.
ABC is owned by Walt Disney now. I think they have a few acquisitions lined up that they need green lit by Orange man administration. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case here.
Fire Moran to appease Orange man.
Honestly need to break up the big corporations.
Google, Apple, and rest of big tech are pregnable despite their access to vast amounts of capital, and labor resources.
I used to be a big supporter of using their “social sign on” (or more generally speaking, single sign on) as a federated authentication mechanism. They have access to brilliant engineers thus naively thought - "well these companies are well funded, and security focused. What could go wrong having them handle a critical entry point for services?”
Well as this position continues to age poorly, many fucking aspects can go wrong!
Which is why my new position is for federated authentication protocols. Similar to how Lemmy and the fediverse work but for authentication and authorization.
Having your own IdP won’t fix the 3rd issue, but at least it will alleviate 1st and 2nd concerns
What’s to stop Cali national guard from ignoring Orange man? Or maybe I have been watching/reading too much fiction.
Before settling in Foster City, California, in 1977, the Thiel family lived in South Africa and South West Africa (modern-day Namibia). Peter changed elementary schools seven times. He attended a German-language school in Swakopmund that required students to wear uniforms and utilized corporal punishment, such as striking students’ hands with a ruler. He said this experience instilled a distaste for uniformity and regimentation later reflected in his support for individualism and libertarianism.[20][21] The German community in Swakopmund that Thiel grew up in was known at the time for its continued glorification of Nazism.[22][23]
Thiel and Muskrat cut from the same cloth of trustfund babies and apartheid benefactors, m8
Peter Thiel is one of the many money men that want to privatize everything, dismantle federal government, hand keys to “network states” (company towns but somehow worse).
Goal is none or self regulation. Maximize profits. They want to shape the world into this hyper capitalistic society and surveillance state. Palantir is just one of those companies in a massive portfolio to fulfill this stupid dream shared by many industrialists.
Good thing I plan on driving mine until I die. There’s no point in trading in/upgrading with that low of an offer.
I would be surprised if an incel camino lasts 3-4 years of regular driving.
Right - why not call it what it is? State is employing military against civilians.
State Sponsored Genocide.
Per Axios report [1], Andy Byron appears to have negotiated some sort of exit package.
These fuckers always get their 🧀 no matter what happens. Better to pay them off rather than stall it in court and risk attracting more attention.
