oh. I see what we are dealing with here. a criminal.
I heard about him when I watched a documentary about Napster.
No documentary about Gene Kan exists. He is virtually unknown but his work was an important contribution.
This will buy Square some time while it shops around for a buyer but that's assuming the capital market is still liquid and happy and there's no market downturn.
The twitter tears are flowing in this thread
He's approaching this as a simple restructure & pray with engineering teams when in fact the problem is a much more serious problem, there's a loss of confidence in Twitter from investors.
I guess cutting when investors feel like it's due is a good way to appear like you are making changes when in fact the problem with Twitter is much more deep rooted and a fundamental flaw.
1) Investors realize twitter is horrible for monetization
2) Investors are out of patience or trust
3) Twitter scrambles to find a sustainable revenue source.
4) Twitter cuts off Hootsuite and launches competing business
5) Twitter's massive botnets disappear revealing only a small number of it's userbase is active sparking SEC involvement.
TIL some people make literally a 100 times what the average person makes.

I've heard reactions from Canadians who go to Korea or Japan and they are puzzled that nobody would steal, even if wallet was bulging with cash and the guy was passed out on the streets, he doesn't have to worry.
To me this is the success of a homogenous neo-confucius brings order in society. Self reflection and honor prevents a cesspool of cultures ready to rip each others throats from forming.
I ponder if Western societies can continue to function if they just keep letting anyone of any background and culture in especially when they choose not to integrate and shout 'racism' when they have to do something that requires the slightest bit of thinking and respect.
Sometimes I look at my city, shootings, the violence, gangs, mental illnesses and ponder what life would've been like in Korea or Japan.
Ultimately, I ended up going with Mixpanel because they offered pretty much everything I wanted in analytics. I have integrated Segment everywhere but ended up ripping it all out once I realized that I had bought into the marketing.
if it was illegal why would it still exist publicly?
if something was illegal you bet your ass the USG will take it down.
