TJ’s are better than most cafes in the US for nearly $1 each, too good.

Doesn’t sound to you like hindsight is 20/20. Sounds like you’d want to take the exact same approach next time something like this happens

As always, why is the magic number a billion dollars? And how do you draw the line in regards to stock ownership, prevent a founder from owning a certain amount of stock once its value exceeds a billion dollars?

Is waking up prior to 9am really considered torturous? Go to sleep by midnight and you still get 9 hours of sleep, that’s not half bad.

on: Why I left Google: work-life balance
I don’t need to add much more commentary than the original post already has, but this is hardly considered an apology in my eyes:
> While I still think that the totality of the design decisions was a clear a privileged copy, I don't think it warranted my reaction. I'm sorry for that, and I give you permission to publish Riju.
Like thanks for giving me permission to publish MY weekend project that you have 0 say over what I do with, and blame the project as being a copy over “design decisions”. Meaning, a square box with the name of the language overlaying it?
Instead of owning his mistake as he should he basically claims “I have to remember I’m not the struggling kid from Jordan anymore” to avoid taking responsibility and shifts the blame to this ex-intern anyways.

Anytime I hear repl.it I get annoyed by the time their CEO was threatened by and shut down an ex-employee’s weekend project

on: Why do you waste so much time on the internet?
It’s sad to hear someone’s view of church be similar to that of a political rally because that’s far from the truth of all the churches I’ve been to. Of course, we do read the Bible and worship God, but this social club that comes with “prepackaged” friends that you refer to can’t exist unless the people going agree on some ideas of morality and philosophies of why we’re here on Earth.

on: Twitter buyout puts Mastodon into spotlight
You call the “free speech people” insufferable and say they have no idea what they’re talking about, yet say I’m the one being rude referring to offended people crying to Twitter to ban people because they can’t just ignore (as you suggested you’d do) the tweet they didn’t like?

> You can just ignore what’s being said in “free speech circles”
The irony here is hilarious. This is the exact point people arguing against social media censorship are pointing out: if you don’t like it and the speech is protected under law, use your little block button and ignore it (rather than asking a social media company to ban it because it hurts your feelings).

on: Twitter set to accept Musk's $43B offer – sources
This is spot on. It’s pretty absurd to constantly see the top “news” articles be “_____ says that _____” with the entire article just mentioning context of a tweet of some famous person.
