dubswithus··on Bitcoin Falls Below $20k for the First Time Since 2020
Gaming — which fuels the sedentary and obesity epidemic. Maybe crypto is useful after all?

You omitted one of their arguments:

> Unlike paying in company stock you do not deal with nonsense like AMT or blackout periods.

dubswithus··on Three Arrows Capital reportedly facing insolvency
My understanding is CBDC’s are for banks and not retail. So it won’t kill it.

What does Adam Back have to do with 3AC? The guy only holds bitcoin, right? His portfolio looks nothing like 3AC.
dubswithus··on SpaceX staff condemn Musk's behavior in open letter
There is no argument to have. Calling someone fat and asking someone to help with climate change are nothing alike.
dubswithus··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
Why would it be a joke? Firing employees plotting against the company and other coworkers seems prudent.

Not flag worthy. Just reality most people hate the woke drama llamas.

The problem is these people think they have a right to work at a company.

He raised a lot of zero dilution cash with the flamethrower. How many people can do that?
dubswithus··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
> On the other hand, there has to be some capacity for this type of discussion to occur. Musk owns less than 50% of SpaceX, and I generally think employees should have some manner of input into the operations of the company they work for.

The other 50% are not woke.

Haven’t polls been done that show a majority of people don’t want to talk about politics at work?

Seems very believable to me.

dubswithus··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
Some people are so desperate to force their views on others. It is exhausting.

How would you feel if you asked me about a hot button issue important to you at work and I declined to talk about it. Would you approach HR?

dubswithus··on SpaceX said to fire employees involved in letter rebuking Elon Musk
I felt your definition was spot on. Thanks.

What would happen if the letter criticized Tim Cook for being a homophobe for inviting MBS to Apple.

Yes, I know Tim is gay.

dubswithus··on SpaceX staff condemn Musk's behavior in open letter
Why would anyone care about his opinions on Elden Ring? He should do what every other CEO is doing and keep the focus on growth at his companies.

Musk called Bill Gates fat because he shorted Tesla stock. Is that a pleasant surprise? A breath of fresh air? Finally, someone is speaking their mind!

Musk doesn’t have to be woke. All he has to do is be professional and that will clean up his image.

dubswithus··on Musk, Tesla, SpaceX Are Sued for Alleged Dogecoin Pyramid Scheme
1) All cryptos follow Bitcoin so Dogecoin going up or down doesn’t effect the market.

2) This lawsuit only effects Elon’s ability to shill the coin. If Dogecoin can’t prosper without a promoter it is worthless.

dubswithus··on Musk, Tesla, SpaceX Are Sued for Alleged Dogecoin Pyramid Scheme
Well, that is ironic considering he is a Dogecoin holder himself.

His wallet has allegedly been found. Hopefully this lawsuit confirms it.

dubswithus··on A religious sect landed Google in a lawsuit
Were you giving money to BSA at a time when you knew they were covering up the abuse?

Many Catholics stopped attending church when they found out what had happened.

Because what should Google do now that they know? They can do a great amount of good.

Most people are in a position to do something. I don’t see it any different for Google.

dubswithus··on A religious sect landed Google in a lawsuit
At the risk of sounding a little heartless, someone that joins a cult is very gullible.

How can you be that gullible and still be considered top tier talent?

Calling BSA and SBC cults is pure word play on your part. No reasonable person believes these are cults.

dubswithus··on A religious sect landed Google in a lawsuit
Wouldn’t you say a large organization with a hierarchy has a higher chance of making a change than one cult leader?

I don’t see much similarity between this person and the Catholic church.

As to the cases you mention no one knew about their crimes because no one came forward. When someone did come forward the police pursued the perpetrator. So firing someone involved wouldn’t have had an effect because the perpetrator was already in jail.

Google has a chance to do something if it finds the reports credible.

Google can fire them and let the lawyers deal with it. Maybe they lose but at least they tried.

Fined billions of dollars? Worth it.

It’s insane to me that children are allegedly being groomed and molested but the topic of the day is nepotism.

The business should do what it thinks is right and deal with the fallout. Take a stand.

People are fired all the time for posting their personal opinions on FB. Especially if they make the company look bad. Fire these idiots for supporting a child molester.

dubswithus··on A religious sect landed Google in a lawsuit
The leader of the cult is accused of grooming minors. That means Google is funding the next Jeffrey Esptein.

> Are you supposed to then ask everyone in the department about their religious affiliations, or whether they've given money to a fringe religious organization? That also seems like a really unhealthy road for a company to go down.

I’d suggest a question like this:

1) Are you affiliated with an organization that molests children?

dubswithus··on A religious sect landed Google in a lawsuit
No, at a minimum they should have fired all these people for funding a pedophile with their salaries. Absolutely disgusting.

> I found support groups where ex-members talk about their time in the group, including discussions of sexual abuse and grooming.

> Members have described him grooming and sexually assaulting male followers, including minors

dubswithus··on A religious sect landed Google in a lawsuit
I don’t understand your point.

The cult we are discussing here is accused of engaging in grooming and pedophilia.

That’s comparable to a bunch of people that went to Stanford?

dubswithus··on A religious sect landed Google in a lawsuit
> Members have described him grooming and sexually assaulting male followers, including minors,

> At a certain point, he said he had thought about both quitting and complaining up the ladder, but ultimately decided against either. He thought complaining could lead not only to the loss of his job, but the destruction of our whole department. The loss of all our jobs. GDS, in his mind, wasn’t on steady ground. A revelation like this would be its end.

> He instructed me to keep quiet. He told me not to tell anyone and to tell anyone I had already informed to do the same. He reminded me again that if I complained about this, I could lose my job. Strangely, he threw in that “Peter is a powerful guy.” It was unsettling to say the least.

Dan was selfishly worried about his job. Great evil happens when people stay silent.

dubswithus··on Tesla sends untrained employees to work on cars as service becomes problematic
Because Tesla’s build quality is very poor. Instead of fixing that problem they have decided to focus on producing more cars.
dubswithus··on A religious sect landed Google in a lawsuit
Imagine working so hard to work at Google and then…

> Members are typically required to give 10 percent of their monthly earnings to the organization.

> one member described being fined $1,500 for having sex with a woman when they weren’t married.

dubswithus··on Tyler Cowen asks Marc Andreessen to explain a Web3 use case [video]
Why would he need to be an engineer to be successful in tech? Steve Jobs wasn’t.

If a large group of people want crypto it will exist regardless of the engineering merits.

dubswithus··on Despite crypto layoffs, Kraken continues to hire
So how do you discover their political beliefs? I never discuss mine at work.
