That seems... fine? The terms basically imply that if you publish a benchmark you need to let CRDB reproduce your benchmark and discuss it publicly

It's comical how much of modern startup compensation is gymnastics around taxes.

My understanding is that the most basic problem is if the startup gives you stock that's viewed as income and you will need to pay tax on an illiquid asset, and ISO/NSO/RSU/409a's are resulting from various elaborate schemes to give you stock-like upside tomorrow without having to pay taxes on an illiquid today.

Bard has a setting to enable something approximating streaming responses (still not quite as nice as GPT)

Seems like it, the parent poster is almost implying there's an element of underwriting the transaction/house for which 2% is not unreasonable (Title insurance is in the 1% (or a bit less) range in the US I believe)

Just be mindful of the "Unauthorized Visitor Fee" --

“Whether or not related to Consumertronics business, any visit to our facilities which is not with our clear, written, prior permission, or so permitted by us based on a fraudulent, erroneous or deceptive representation by the visitor, is an unauthorized visit which automatically results in a non-refundable Unauthorized Visitor Fee (UVF) for each visitor and for each visit for which the visitor assumes total personal liability for paying. The amounts of the UVFs are set by us based on our perception of the real and potential injury to us caused by the visitor and visit, as well as the amount of our time and inconvenience for the unauthorized visit. The UVF amounts may vary between $0 and $1,000,000+ per visitor per visit. UVF fees are independent and separate from all other fees, charges and costs the unauthorized visitor may be required to pay.”

Jokes aside Comic Mono is surprisingly nice. I thought I'd hate it but it has a fun whimsy to it

Well structurally taking Twitter private has increased expenses by $1bil (the interest on loans) against last year's ~$6bil in revenue, so that alone is going to change the health of the company.

On top of that Musk has given guidance that he expects revenue to fall from $6b in 2022 to $3b in 2023. (This seems dramatic TBH)

I don't think there were revelations (this is all public info), the transaction just changed the fundamentals.

Company hackathons are rarely 24hr affairs and more "don't do your normal work during working hours"
