It's been a while since I last interviewed.

A "fortune".

He has a lot of little projects, what % of his revenue is his travel site/app? And how much?

So throw out the whole bunch because of a few bad apples? And what happens when the replacements have problem cops? Do it over again?

lol. It's now a weasel word used by start-ups. Merits an eye roll before moving along.

I don't mean the fact that Iraq and Afghanistan were failed missions. But I've heard that 90% of the money spent on those wars went to Americans in some way or another, military contractors, suppliers, etc. all the way down the line to people like me in tech who may work on software used by the military.

In my mind it used to be a respectable profession, but now it's just partisans against partisans. Even for issues that aren't on their face overly political.

What do you mean?

Section 230 means GoDaddy isn't liable for hosting this site or a site by the Taliban.

Are you saying GoDaddy is testing 230? Or that if 230 is repealed there will be more actions like these from other hosting providers?

The idea that we'll be competing with other US-based workers is wrong.

In the long run our remote-work "more freedom" fantasy will come to an end.

I would have figured that with the CCP having ~1.5 billion people to choose from, that they could move a few million Han into Tibet (current pop. according to google: 3,648,100).

Even just 1-2 mil could potentially accomplish the CCP's goals?

I canceled my Netflix sub. Maybe this is why? Netflix became desperate to be legitimized by "big Hollywood"/"big entertainment". It used to be the new thing that didn't need to conform with its titles.

Ultimately my canceling of Netflix went along with canceling big tech as my disillusion has grown across the board: * Amazon (this was hard to cancel, my prime subscription is still paid for the next 6 months) * Facebook (still use the messenger app to chat w/ friends though) * Google (search and Chrome - but still use gmail of course and at work)

I'm going to cancel something from Apple to do a full de-fanging of FAANG :)

Actually here's what I'll cancel: Apple Arcade. Everything they release now is just a "+" game from a non-Apple-Arcade title. "Somegame+" where it means no ads and maybe a little extra content. Originals on Apple Arcade are now harder to find and everything in my new/recommended/trending/etc is a "plus title".

Unfortunately I'm not worth getting paid that much, so my statement isn't a humble brag or anything, it's a realistic observation that my role + work isn't special and I shouldn't be making this amount. With rest/vest I will likely never get this high of a salary + equity package again.

In that sense I feel like I'm currently at my maximum earning potential even though I'm a mid-level engineer. Plus going back to leetcoding? Pfft.

The irony is that by moving to these liberal employees' platform, he's losing influence :)

By creating a crappy podcast platform they've ensured they get what they want and he ends up diminished.

AirBnB is honestly trying too hard with this PR move, it boggles my mind that shareholders don't reign in corporate stunts like this.

I work near their office and remember a couple years ago they were offering their employees self-defense classes after several employees got attacked.
