Sadly my town of Santa Cruz is going through this right now: https://lookout.co/carmageddon-when-will-santa-cruz-metros-n...

Geez.

> Metro gets about one or two buses every week or so, and that it typically takes around four months of testing before they are put into service. The lengthy testing process is necessary because the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust, one of the funders of the Metro’s initiative, requires the agency to destroy one of its existing buses before putting a new one on the road

There's a wide range between bare minimum and 60 hours per week work.

I don't get it. He's an intelligent person that knows that working after a certain number of hours per day leads to diminishing returns.

Why say something like this?

Because if gets people do to that (he won't), he'll increase his net worth by a few billion.

Nothing snarky about a guy worth $100 billion telling his minions that they should work for 60 hours per week, instead of the usual 40. Maybe he should remember from what country his parents came and what happened to the billionaires there.

> Maybe he should remember from what country his parents came and what happened to the billionaires there.

I get you don't like the policy (assuming it is even the official policy.) How's this related to having an excited team working on an important project? Are you suggesting there is something wrong with people who work hard on a mission they believe in? How does this tie fates of Russian billionaires in any shape or form? Are Gemini googlers revolting?

> Maybe he should remember from what country his parents came and what happened to the billionaires there.

They became the oligarchs that now run the country? These days it seems America is pursuing the same dream.

Yeah, the article is literally about an entitled googler being vocal.

Man worth 100+ Billion complains he should be worth more, and that the grunts should have to make him worth more at all costs.

How is anyone who doesn't want to do that entitled?

Can't he just let Twitter die and move on?

Not the person you replied to, but I could think of something like certain countries avoiding sanctions as an example.

Or someone selling illegal weapons online. I realize that can be done in cash now, but it's easier with an untraceable digital currency.

> Why couldn't we have a private crypto currency backed by dollars or euros? There's no technical reason, indeed several groups are building this.

That's what Monero is, right? It doesn't really matter how stable it is, if I'm just going to convert to USD/EUR immediately after my transaction.

No, Monero is not pegged to any other currency

Wow I didn't know cli-fi existed as a new genre now.

How about a few lines of python with selenium?

It’s more than a few and less than a bushel.

Oh man, this brings me back. I'm sitting a block away from the old Meebo office right now. I'm still bitter about Google buying out and killing the app.

This is just blog spam.
