k8t commented on Roku filed an 8-K saying that of its $1.9B of cash, $487M is stuck at SVB   vikashruhil.medium.com/ro... · Posted by u/dhdhd1

This is not a perfect analysis, but:

- Roku has 487M in SVB

- After the 8-K released, Roku lost 323M in market cap

Basically, the market is expecting around 30c of value recouped for every dollar inside of SVB.

(note: I know this analysis isn't perfect, but it gives a rough idea)

>when COVID hit and tech companies saw large surges because investors and CEOs saw industries leaping 5-10 years into the future overnight, they hired to support that growth

Yes, they all egregiously failed. A massive, widespread, collective failure for which they should lose their jobs, as many other people do. On the face of it, it was obvious, that's not even hindsight bias - it was the topsy turvy world that bad news meant good news for stocks and S&P 500 CEOs that persisted for nigh on 15 years that was weird and had to end sooner rather than later.

If it was obvious, did you initiate any shorts while it was happening?

Elon Musk
k8t · 3 years ago
He's the CEO and a huge voting share owner of his companies, why would he need to pretend to be working? Also, it's probably hard to make breakthroughs in space travel and electric vehicles doing fake work.

There's been a huge amount of leaks, rumors, and reports about Elon from within and from without his companies. He's been accused of a lot of things, but fake working has not been one of them.

k8t commented on Przewodów village in Poland hit by two Russian missiles, two dead   wiadomosci.radiozet.pl/Po... · Posted by u/Ralfp

I don't think this was intentional as real attack on Poland as that would take course which will not end up good either for Russia or for rest of the world. I see this as accident, until more information comes. And given similar accidents before, like India-Pakistan missile incident from this year [1] or crash of a drone in Zagreb [2] in March of this year - this will yield nothing.

Edit: Another data point re accident: MH17 [3], Iran Air Flight 655 [4]. Both of those still yielded nothing.

As a counterpoint to your data, the only one that hit a NATO country seems to be [2]. In that instance, nobody died.

> I was hired by Facebook (now Meta) in 2019

> I’ve been at the company longer than almost 70% of people

Apparently they’re not doing much? I would expect this from either a company rapidly scaling up, or one with almost everyone jumping ship.

Attrition is low and they're rapidly scaling up. https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/FB/meta-platforms/...

They've said in recent earnings calls that attrition during the pandemic has been lower than normal. Lower than Meta even wants, since it means people who aren't aligned with the company are deciding to stay.

I've used interviewing.io a lot and it has been immensely helpful. Not only did I get a lot better at interviewing, I also got a referral from the practice interviewer which eventually led me to my current job at a FAANG.

This happens because the players outside the simulation purchased an in-game upgrade.
