Some nice espresso machines and grinders listed there. I assume those won't sell for 25$.
No, definitely not. Commercial kitchen equipment is expensive even second-hand; these will be bid up.

#212I always think about the $10,000 couch in the lobby of the Seattle Twitter office that no one ever sat on. Twitter wasted money on shit that didn’t matter for years.
What would you have chosen to put in place of that sofa?

Most of this mess just seems like a bizarre distraction.
It is shocking how entirely unnecessary it all has been. There’s no reason for the whole situation. The company is in a bad spot now.
I think it’s because the company wasn’t very profitable and has low growth.

Europe is catching up on the obesity rate.
According to what data? Here is a map I came across recently (with references that checks out): https://i.redd.it/3tmf1l3g38n91.png From https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/xbh97v/obe...
Huh, what’s going on in Colorado?

They were not in great shape, but they’re now in substantially worse.

Why is the sibling comment flagged and dead?
At a minimum, I'd suggest "office freeloaders" and "energy vampires" are indicative of someone not commenting in good faith.
It seems fairly clear that Twitter had at least some employees that were adding very little. Trust and Safety leadership enforcing moderation based on political views while ignoring staff concerns about child sexual abuse (per this morning’s news) seems like one example.

You'd be surprised. Some of that restaurant equipment is in high demand, and is also pretty pricey. Anything pro grade can be tens of thousands of dollars each. Just some of those espresso machines are $10K [1] and $25K [2] each. Freezer is $24K. Of course, all these are "new" prices. [1] https://www.espressoparts.com/products/la-marzocco-linea-cla... [2] https://www.espressoparts.com/products/la-marzocco-strada-ee..…
For used auctions (for things with demand) figure about 75-25% new prices. If there is a glut, sometimes you’d end up with just price per lb. (Often just a couple dollars per).
About 10-20% below local used prices is what I’ve seen though sometimes they go above (bidding frenzy?).

Reddit has an army of unpaid moderators. Not to mention the Reddit users who upvote and downvote. Also, politicians and other important public figures don't use Reddit like they use Twitter.
Anyone know why those unpaid mods do what they do? It's like a cult.
The same reason people join HOA boards (hint: it has nothing to do with keeping property values up)

Do we know how many of those 7k were content moderators? Twitter also had external moderators that are probably not counted in that number.
Question is more why are they paying for moderators when Reddit has proved they’ll do it for free.
I really doubt ‘free’ (i.e. paid by the Chinese/Russian/.. governments) moderation on Twitter would be a good idea
