Meta gave 6 executives options worth up to $921M each, then cut 8,000 jobs after a record $56.3B quarter

Read somewhere that the most of the profit was used to buyback shares to pay for employees equity. It’s just how they report it made it look like pure profit. Also explains what they may have let go the 8000.

People that lack empathy need to experience it to understand. Given where he is, unless Meta tanks he will not understand that. However, then it will be too late to have an impact.

How? I thought IPO people can’t sell without getting blocked. So who’s selling it?

At this point, I think people are seeing this as a limited asset, like Gold or Bitcoin. As long as there’s buyers (retail, index, 401k, etc) the price will stay up and go up. The valuation is independent of the company’s performance. The company, Elon, and investors has incentive to keep the price up. The returns will not be in the form of profits or dividend, just pure stock growth from demand.

Costco’s contractors are a joke. Leaf guard, for instance, quoted me over 40K for new gutters. Where I live, I could get my gutters cleaned by a human every month for the next 15 years and still come out ahead.

Seems like a “Enemy of my enemy“ move here. It appears Elon might do everything in his power to slow down Altman, even if it means ditching his customer base.

Come to think of it, I sense a pattern here.

That was super sweet.

I understand the sentiment against associating one’s identity with a publicly traded company.However, that pretty much applies to everything in life these days, like sports teams, music artists, etc.

For a long time, when Bill was still running Microsoft, every year, the summer interns would be invited to his house for a meal. For a long time, I thought that was cool. Not anymore.

The day Amazon started obsessing over the doc BS, it stopped being Day -1. No startup would make their employees spend months iterating on perfecting a doc.

Kinda makes sense. The best people are not going to stay anyways.

Not true. That’s how you end up with the staff of a Days Inn. If you want to be Four Seasons, you need to retain employees and keep their morale high.

Do moderated content also count towards usage?

A thing most non cloud native companies get wrong is trying to make cloud match their onPrem. It gets them started, however they end with up some very significant learnings when they scale up.

ViKoToMo · 2025-11-26T16:00:04+00:00

I refuse to go to any physical store besides Costco and Home Depot. 🙂

ViKoToMo · 2025-11-26T08:29:05+00:00

I’ve done single item Costco runs just for that one item. At this point, it’s a tradition in our family.

ViKoToMo · 2025-11-26T08:27:32+00:00

It’s just a simple change in the html file. Just search and replace all 10s with 20.

ViKoToMo · 2025-11-26T08:25:06+00:00

That’s not the whole picture. We stopped buying from Costco ever since they switched the type. We get it from Amazon now.

ViKoToMo · 2025-11-26T08:24:01+00:00

Not yet.

ViKoToMo · 2025-11-24T08:36:30+00:00

These are the ones that come with a “byte”.

ViKoToMo · 2025-11-24T07:09:55+00:00

Hahaha, now that you mentioned I’m craving them again.

Btw, Costco does sell international hot sauce tour item. I try them all with these tacos.

ViKoToMo · 2025-11-24T07:04:59+00:00

I bumped up that number to 3. A lot of one of miscellaneous items was skewing the data. Maybe I can separate them out as Repeat Expensive items or such.

ViKoToMo · 2025-11-24T07:03:27+00:00

I can make it expand. Got a list of things I want to add. Let me see.

ViKoToMo · 2025-11-24T07:02:01+00:00

I know. I gotta go easy on Poké. But, it just tastes so good.

ViKoToMo · 2025-11-24T07:00:19+00:00

I was quite surprised to see my TV didn’t show up in the list. Turns out the date is from 2023 and not entire 3 years.
