This seems to be a pretty expected outcome of an American narrative that societal decisions should be made through or in partnership with the private sector. If we've gone through decades of policy and ideological thought taught that action should happen through the private sector, that people would start acting through private companies rather government acting as our method of social action. I know plenty of individuals in the tech sector that ascribe to some form of the "government is so woefully incapable, it's best left to the private sector" or "I'd rather solve problems through entrepreneurship rather than government or non-profit" school of thought. This seems to me to be a pretty direct expected consequence. We've made private companies pretty central to the way our society is organized.

"This year we’ve continued our commitment to top talent by further increasing our cash and equity compensation — from the 50th percentile amongst our peers to the 75th — across the entire company."

"Because our standard offers are world-class, we are officially eliminating negotiations on salary and equity from our recruiting process."

Aren't these things mutually exclusive? Wouldn't moving from 50th to 75th percentile mean your offers are not world class?

I found Kara Swisher's interview with John Matze the CEO very informative on how things are handled (or lack thereof) on Parler.

AMD and Nvidia are both fabless manufacturers. They design but do not fabricate the chips. AMD used to, but spun out their fabs as GlobalFoundries. As you correctly noted, Intel is a foundry and does manufacture it's own chips.

Planet Money actually did a podcast about this. Banks are basically incentivized not to have it and keep ACH that way it is. A free and fast transfer service would destroy their wire revenue stream.

Don't bother. The site says available on the iPhone, but it's not. You can download the app and do nothing with it. It's just linkbait to pad numbers.
