New comment by smpetrey in "Automattic raises $300M at $3B valuation from Salesforce Ventures"

smpetrey — Thu, 19 Sep 2019 13:53:59 +0000

Automattic is profitable.

This funding round is less about securing long-term profitability and more about long-term partnerships and scaling their portfolio of products[1] deeper into other third-parties such as Salesforce (and beyond):

> “The problem we’re tying to solve is likely multigenerational. It can take the rest of our lives and we need to pass it on to the generation that comes after to continue to work on it. Hopefully for the rest of humanity because I can’t imagine a time when humanity cannot benefit from an open, free, connected web,” Mullenweg told me.

> When it comes to today’s funding round, Salesforce Ventures isn’t your traditional investor — and Mullenweg is well aware of that. There could be some partnerships and integrations between Salesforce and Automattic in the future.

New comment by smpetrey in "New Zealand Man Gets 21 Months for Sharing Video of Christchurch Attacks"

smpetrey — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 16:12:10 +0000

> The man, Philip Arps, had pleaded guilty in April to charges of distributing objectionable content. In addition to sharing the gunman’s video online, Mr. Arps sent a copy of it to be doctored to look like a first-person-shooter video game, featuring cross hairs and a body count.

> Mr. Arps had told the police that he thought the Christchurch massacre was “awesome,” and he had likened himself to Rudolf Hess, the Nazi deputy to Hitler who tried to negotiate peace, reported Christchurch Court News.

21 Months well earned if you ask me. I hope he loses the appeal.

Ever since John Giannandrea left Google, seems like Google's product movements have been a little rough. Not sure if it's coincidence.

Anyone parading around like this is bad news has never worked in an assembly line or warehouse job. This might reduce the workforce overall long-term, but honestly this is hard back-breaking long-workday labor.

Anything that improves the livelihood of the warehouse workers is a win in my book.
