Companies want the ability to use things like emails, names, and other data for user experiences (go to settings, see name and change it), advertising (target this address book for X ad), etc. So these are typically plaintext (oversimplified) and accessible by different systems while passwords or private keys have one use case only and can have a higher bar of protection.

This. I am okay showing total comp, but the numbers also seem...weird? Like Zuck makes $1/year salary. $27m/year which is mostly security expenses if I remember correctly, but has by far the largest net worth (of those listed) which is what people care about. And his stock appreciation is vastly higher than that shown.

This isn't the first round of layoffs there

I'm always curious if he just set aside say $250k/year (2 year contract maybe?) to the top 100 content creators at Twitter/IG/TikTok today.

Add $25 million to the annual costs and have the chicken/egg problem semi-saved.

Wouldn't it be worthwhile to share out the flaws for people that don't live in Atlanta or really even cities with Scooters?

Speaking of electric bikes, does anyone have any good recommendation for somebody looking to get started in biking in general for commuting purposes? I'm not a historical biker and not looking to replace the ~20 mile radius I drive with this, but ~3-5 mile radius including smaller grocery trips and going out for dinner/meeting friends/office trips is what I am looking for. If I commit to this happy to upgrade over time, so not looking to go all out now.

There are often regulations requiring you give users notice before making these changes. So beginning yesterday would provide 30 days notice (1 full month) allowing people time to react, respond, etc.

Could also be that if you only purchase 1 item from a store you might forget the stores name, but referrals for large purchases are likely a big driver of their business so they want to make sure you do remember where you got this from in the hopes you can refer one person to make a purchase.

A multi-thousand dollar purchase is likely worth it for an extra $15 in targeted ads to somebody.

While the sparring happens here as they are both ads companies, there's nothing to say the sparring won't happen between Google and Apple if they wanted the same level of customer data and Apple doesn't provide it.

And half of those are home matchups with no traveling!

TSLA most certainly could have tracked it just using the GPS and woken the car (or even bricked it) remotely. Superchargers may have been used, but definitely weren't needed to track this vehicle.
