  Don’t measure, cut yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do companies always need to grow?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Shareholders want their shares to increase in value. That means the company needs to earn more profit (more precisely, profit per share). To do that you typically grow, but you can also do it by buying back stock (that increases profit per share), or by “increasing efficiency” which is usually a dead end.

  True. When I was young I thought why don’t we use the military domestically. Yeah it doesn’t work.

  First story is not exclusive to private equity. Sales and even business owners have no idea how long things take. We once had a project that would take about a year, sales signed the contract to be done in like 1 month. The saving grace was the client delayed their start date, giving us the time we needed. Another one: guy buys an old building with plans to tear it down and build a new one. Tells the news “we’ll break ground next month”. Two years later they break ground.

  Wow did not see this coming. Saudi Arabia is desperate to diversify so from that angle it makes sense. Kushner wants in lol. That’s a big buyout though. Well, things are going to get weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's official: EA is going private.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah the Saudis are desperate to diversify. And they have the money to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but it’s not solved JFC. Could could could isn’t accomplished by their currently showing subscribers of dead accounts. JFC.

  And it couldn’t be solved easily anyway. What’s a dead account? Log in once a year? That’s certainly not active in that community. But hey let’s count that anyway, right? Subscribed but all you do is browse all? Not active, but let’s count that too, right? A game is popular for a while and gets tons of subscribers, then peters off and the people don’t unsub and just browse all. Again: not active, but fuck it let’s count that too.

  Enjoy the last word if you want it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the number of subscribers gives you a better idea of the size of the community than a vague “visitors”

  I say it’s literally the exact opposite. Subscribers from dead accounts aren’t active, they aren’t part of the community, they aren’t discussing. They are dead accounts.

  The people that ARE in the community are the actual users that show up on a regular basis. THAT is what shows the actual size of the community. Not that it was once a default sub for hundreds of thousands of accounts that are no longer active.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The point is they don’t actually have 50k subscribers if 30k of those are dead accounts. They have 20k. Showing 50k accomplishes absolutely nothing. What stability? Stability in use? No. Stability in shown numbers? Yay but it’s fake. Any and all default subs that are auto subscribed have pumped up numbers when users leave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is dropping subscriber counts on subreddits⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why should they show subscribers of dead accounts? I think they only kept that to “prop up” numbers before the IPO.
