We do know: Yahoo

@evanculver Good luck at Yahoo, dude. It's not as dead as some say, as is evidenced by the excellent code they churn out. -- http://twitter.com/codeshaman/status/12584315658

@codeshaman Thank you sir. I was going to delay the announcement, but you know, people do things that make you jumpy. -- http://twitter.com/evanculver/status/12585519584

That makes me wonder, has Yahoo laid off more or less employees (proportionally) than Mahalo?

No need to wonder, considerably more, but they've also hired considerably more.

Of course they've hired considerably more, I think that's why the parent to your comment said "(proportionally)".

I could have sworn that wasn't there when I first answered.

/me needs glasses ?

It's an eisenclarification!

It was there. :)

I believe you. But I've fallen in to the habit of quoting the bits I'm replying to just to make sure I'm not hallucinating, after the fact edits which make your comments look like you're an idiot happen all too often.

Literal quoting seems to be a good protection against that.

Yahoo is not only dead, it is a large, rotting carcass on the landscape of the web. To imply otherwise suggests a lack of critical thinking.
