"We stand with #BlackLivesMatter," the company tweeted Monday night. "We are donating a total of $500,000 to the @NAACP and the @Blklivesmatter Foundation in support of their fight for equality and justice. And we'll be matching employee donations to both groups. Because a world where we all belong takes all of us."

I like this paradox.

Obviously there were black and white laid off and supposedly their termination packages were amazing.

Is that the app where people pay you to come to your house so you can record them having sex?

He gets that.
It was more “they employ that many people?”
That’s the question that got me thinking “really?”

The app works, so they probably laid off all the programmers that they don't need anymore to write code. They just need to update the code periodically. Maybe the laid off programmers could get a job in a coal mine, or something.

Do you think apps appear out of thin air and just “work”?
