blahblah123456··on Stripe laying off around 14% of workforce
Is it? They probably just haven't had time to update it. Also a lot of times online job listings mean nothing. They are just left up even if they are not actively hiring.
blahblah123456··on At the Bored Ape restaurant, your ApeCoin is no good now
Yes, but in real life blame doesn't matter. What matters is the alternative (a hardwired credit card terminal or cash) would've worked, and this didn't.

Normal is a 4 year grant, with a 1year cliff, that is thereafter quarterly/monthly.

I agree with this definition of burnout.

Another second order consequence of this thing is putting in a lot of effort almost certainly sets you up for this effort-reward cycle miss

blahblah123456··on Robinhood reports 43% revenue decline
Nah, not true. In a legal proceeding, always say the minimum. It's never to your benefit to talk to law enforcement (or congress in this case).
blahblah123456··on Guido van Rossum: Let Web3 die in a flaming ball of fire
Fear of missing out. A lot of people are very confident that it will blow up.
blahblah123456··on Guido van Rossum: Let Web3 die in a flaming ball of fire
Web3 proponents have been repeating that all the smartest people they know are in web3. It's more of a meme that's been repeated than a real observation, and I would guess the "smartest people they know" aren't very smart at all or have a large financial interest in it.

In this case, it was actually a feature, not a product.

Agreed on shop pay which also comes with the rest of the store. Even Bolt has the whole checkout flow at least

blahblah123456··on Up all night with a Twitch millionaire
It's counterintuitive, but if you look at eSports players, the prime years are much lower (both the start and the end). You do see 16 year olds at the top but you never see 30 year olds. It feels like the prime is really 16-25. Reaction times in traditional sports are not as important, and hands are one of the worst things to wear out. More parts != more wear out. There's a reason why there are (general) physical therapists and physical therapists who specialize in hands. Hands are incredibly complex and soft tissue injuries heal very poorly due to lack of blood supply.

I doubt the boredom thing is that different for sports vs eSports. At least with eSports the game is changing due to patches. With sports, the game itself hardly changes.

For citation: see https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal... you can see reaction time starts to drop off rapidly starting at age 25

The PM people usually deal with on eng teams are product managers and people do call them PMs.

Lots of junior people also have these educational credentials.

Not saying she isn't senior, but these two things mean nothing.
