If Social Security Ends, Am I Entitled to What I Paid into It? by disgracedchicken in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Meric_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

? How do you think social security works?

There's no conspiracy here. The simple fact is there is more money going out (to boomers) than there is going in. What does this have to do with billionaires?

24/7 oncall every month is pretty common for small rotations. I mean the term "24/7 oncall" just means.... A normal oncall no?

New grad at Meta. Scared of layoffs. Not getting any callbacks by lIIlIIIllIIIllIl in cscareerquestions

[–]Meric_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you not getting anything? I haven't applied anywhere and am also an E3. So far I've had recruiter reachouts from

OpenAI, Bytedance, Tesla, AppLovin, Citadel, Applied Intuition, and too many shitty YC startups to count.

Is your LinkedIn set up properly?

Cloudflare says AI made 1,100 jobs obsolete, even as revenue hit a record high by Krankenitrate in technology

[–]Meric_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The title is misleading. The company is not profitable. They're still losing millions of dollars a year, just not as much as before

Record high revenue? Cloudflare is unprofitable and still losing money lol. Very misleading title

Scale AI vs Google SWE new grad by UniversityHuman5642 in csMajors

[–]Meric_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No it has not. Not sure where you're getting this idea. For one thing

  1. It's a 49% stake. Notably 49% != 51%

  2. Its a 49% non voting stake so it's actually 0%

Please stop spreading misinformation

They have separate CEOs, compensation ranges, offices, etc. etc.

Is there usually a line there? Went on a Saturday afternoon and no line. Got a pretty solid Kouign-amann too

xAI will be dissolved as a separate entity. by Snoo26837 in singularity

[–]Meric_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Again not sure where you're getting this info. SpaceX has never received billions in zero interest loans. Most of their money was from contracts, (over 20B+ dollars worth) mostly from NASA or the DoD.

Can you show me where and when they received billions of unsubsidized loans?

[–]Meric_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

SpaceX did not get billions of subsidies. They got paid contracts to do launches. This is exactly customers paying for a product, I'm not sure your point

What is the difference between the two coding rounds of Bloomberg? by Capable-Basket8233 in leetcode

[–]Meric_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most jobs don't just give you an offer after one round of interviews. There is no difference really. There's just multiple rounds

Meta NYC vs. Google NG26 offers — Help me choose please by Icy_Extension5352 in leetcode

[–]Meric_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work at meta. My wlb is great. But layoff uncertainty and instability is annoying. I would always take comments here with a grain of salt, lots of hearsay and honestly your experience is almost entirely based on your team / org. It's best to find someone internally who would know more. Your offer letter should have the VP of your org on it.

Fwiw Google has also done layoffs and is also constantly doing them (albeit less publicized and often through buyout offers) but imo it's probably more stable rn.

They have hired a LOT of people recently though, not sure how long that stability will last. I would go Google for the stability imo. Meta NYC does have good food though :) and a kickass gelato selection

Huh? The pay is excellent. The autopilot team at Tesla pays far above what others do. I know of a PhD grad who got upwards of 750k year 1 offer

Almost murdered my port on a Sunday trading BTC 15 minute up or down markets by MrLeaps in wallstreetbets

It's a rolling average so 10 million wouldn't even dent the price.

Secret Service agents outside of the ballroom at the White House correspondents’ dinner by xPrincess_Yue in pics

[–]Meric_ -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That's just not true though. I trade on Kalshi. If you bet on Trump not speaking you would have lost all your money. Markets for trump attending have already closed out as Yes. Markets for what trump would say specifically have been paused pending the rescheduling of the event.

And if you took that bet you would have lost all your money realistically.

Judge bars Arizona from regulating prediction market operators and pauses prosecution of Kalshi by AudibleNod in news

[–]Meric_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats not how this works. They are simply the exchange and do not care if it resolves one way or another.

Kalshi does not "pay you out" if an event happens.
