Absolutely. Roku probably would be doing fine if they stuck with the cute little TV boxes and didn't have to keep making growth targets for the parasites. That drive for constant growth has made their core product suck more too...

I fell down the internet rabbit hole. He gets 1.2M in pay. No bonus and no stock award. The rest are options. Last year he has sold 400,000 shares worth $69M. The year before he sold 1,950,000 shares worth $690M... Looks like he had a scheduled sale of 80,000 shares every 2 weeks. Which had been worth about $25M every time. It looks like he stopped it when the same sale started pulling in about $11M. So yeah, assuming a generous $500k fully loaded employee cost, they cut $150M in HC. So canning him would save about 40 jobs. And he'd still be a billionaire.

It will be really interesting to see how the case law develops. Personally, I am more interested in things on the IP side. A lot of lawyers I work with currently view LLMs like a shredder in front of a leaf blower. Which, it kind of is.

Now that's how you sign up to be a buffer state...

Crazy story. Sounds like that wasn't a punitive amount, that's how much the cost Bungie. They hired executive protection services for the employee, investigators, lawyers (obviously)...
