It literally wasn’t. He paid way more than what the stock was worth. (Hence why he desperately tried to get out of it, and why the board desperately tried to make sure he had to go through with it.)

I think he’s just saying the headline is (potentially maliciously) ambiguous. I certainly assumed “told not to testify [or else]” when I read it.

There are some fantastic gems of videos that still get released, but they’re really hard to find amongst the YouTube crap videos.

Linus LOVES corporate buzzwords. He certainly never fails to remind critics that he’s just running a business.

He’s said before that he hates it, but including one of those thumbnails boosts viewership by 30%. I certainly don’t like it, but it would be really hard for me to resist that extra income too.

And not even as a genericized term. (Google and Xerox HATE that they’re used as verbs.)

“Tweet” is only ever used to describe posting to Twitter. It’s a very unique position that’s about as ideal as it gets for a company brand.

“Hell yes we’re going to take your guns” is not the best slogan when running for governor of Texas.

I think that Walmart employee that was murdered by and anti-mask but really opened people’s eyes to how real domestic terrorism is in the US to these companies. Whether they’re doing this because they want to protect their employees or want to stop backlash against them is still up for debate, but either way it’s clear that terrorism works.

I thought he only rode crackers? Putin on the Ritz

It kind of makes sense. Reddit is one of the most visited websites in the world. It has more DAUs than Twitter.

Do we have a magazine version of r/nottheonion?

I wonder if laziness is going to be what ultimately pushes mass adoption. Most people just don’t want to deal with the maintenance associated with perfect lawns.

The board must be getting tired of this by now. He’s showing that he doesn’t know how to handle their user base.

It’s even worse. Sometimes it’s “oh, profits are only 120% of last year? SELL SELL SELL”

That’s like asking Whirlpool and Kenmore to pay for water and sewer expansion.

Can confirm, we have it and it’s fantastic. Super reliable symmetrical gigabit for $60/month
