  • Per Axios report [1], Andy Byron appears to have negotiated some sort of exit package.

    The company officially issued a statement Friday more than 24 hours after the story exploded, due in part to Byron's slow resignation and exit package negotiations, another source told Axios.

    These fuckers always get their 🧀 no matter what happens. Better to pay them off rather than stall it in court and risk attracting more attention.

  • to be honest I buried the lede. I withdrew largely due to the long interview process. I had ghosted or left them on read for a week but the viral news reminded me.

    Thinking how it would impact me directly? Probably not much. But this is a small company. If leadership is this sloppy at covering up extra marital affairs. How bad is it on the inside?

    Shitty leadership in my experience often correlates with awful company culture.

  • Ignoring clickbait title, this is impressive. Networked devices used to be the limit on data transfer.

    Are there any devices even capable at reading/writing at 125,000G/sec?

    Seems breakthroughs here are more relevant to for backhaul networks.

  • Don’t these C-level guys usually get a golden parachute? He "tendered his resignation", but probably still got some severance. Board could force him out but probably triggers some other vesting/equity clause. So having him "resign" but give him golden parachute.

  • I was interviewing with this company 💀. Withdrew my application/interview last week because of this.

    Didn’t leave a reason. Just emailed recruiter, "I am no longer interested".

    Also, they have like 6-7 interviews with various people in company.

  • oof, what a blunder. No more late night Lemmy for me

  • Somehow replied to wrong post, oops!

  • so much for "transparency" from the orange man administration. Probably Trump or Trump Jr on the list.

  • explains the recent pump in my old BTC and ETH assets from 2021, lol.

  • Stephen Colbert was probably the only reason I turned on network TV late at night. What a blunder.

  • What’s killed American innovation itself is the billionaires and their lap dogs — the greedy capitalists, vulture capitalists, private equity, and hedge funds.

    Outsourcing to China and decimating our local manufacturing industries, and subsequently losing important skills over generations is a problem caused by these greedy fucks.

    It’s no wonder the USA is no longer competitive. Greedy Wall Street fucks in the 1970s-1980s sold our future so they could make a pretty penny in their generation.

    Fuck reaganomics. Fuck trickle down economic theory. Fuck the centrists and GOP that allowed this corporate/billionaire welfare state to take hold over this country.

  • Smells like corporate meddling.

    Reminds me of the 60 Minutes and CBS controversy. In the mid-90s, producers worked on a segment to expose big tobacco knew about the dangers of nicotine yet sold products anyways.

    Big tobacco laid down the pressure on 60 Minutes and CBS network. 60 Minutes was huge back then and had high levels of journalistic integrity. Ultimately, CBS executives killed/delayed/manipulated/watered down the big tobacco story. CBS was at the time was apparently in merger with Westinghouse and executives were pissing their pants the big tobacco lawsuit could kill that M&A.

    ABC is owned by Walt Disney now. I think they have a few acquisitions lined up that they need green lit by Orange man administration. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case here.

    Fire Moran to appease Orange man.

    Honestly need to break up the big corporations.

  • Google, Apple, and rest of big tech are pregnable despite their access to vast amounts of capital, and labor resources.

    I used to be a big supporter of using their "social sign on" (or more generally speaking, single sign on) as a federated authentication mechanism. They have access to brilliant engineers thus naively thought - "well these companies are well funded, and security focused. What could go wrong having them handle a critical entry point for services?”

    Well as this position continues to age poorly, many fucking aspects can go wrong!

    1. These authentication services owned by big tech are much more attractive to attack. Finding that one vulnerability in their massive attack vector is difficult but not impossible.
    2. If you use big tech to authenticate to services, you are now subject to the vague terms of service of big tech. Oh you forgot to pay Google store bill because card on file expired? Now your Google account is locked out and now lose access to hundreds of services that have no direct relation to Google/Apple
    3. Using third party auth mechanisms like Google often complicate the relationship between service provider and consumer. Support costs increase because when a 80 yr old forgot password or 2FA method to Google account. They will go to the service provider instead of Google to fix it. Then you spend inordinate amounts of time/resources trying to fix issue. These costs eventually passed on to customer in some form or another

    Which is why my new position is for federated authentication protocols. Similar to how Lemmy and the fediverse work but for authentication and authorization.

    Having your own IdP won’t fix the 3rd issue, but at least it will alleviate 1st and 2nd concerns

  • Zuckerberg always looks so uncomfortable. Is this what it looks like when you sell out the human race so you can continue to hoard wealth?

  • "how will I feel like men with big pee pee tho"
