Reply to comment by sacredxsecret in WIRED computer mouse. I'm particularly interested in one with a cable that will not fray. They seem to fray very shortly after I get them. I want the cable to be like a quarter of an inch thick. I don't care if the thing weighs 5 lbs. My budget is $200. by TheJawsofIce

I'm guessing your work computer is not a laptop.

Reply to comment by Ok-Welder-4816 in PayPal to lay off 2,000 employees in coming weeks, about 7% of workforce by Familiar-Turtle

It might not though - it might only include direct-hire employees, they could have a bunch of contractors who aren't included here.

Edit - what I mean to say is, those low-level employees might be all or mostly contractors who aren't counted among the 2,000 or the total.

Edit 2 - but of course I'll never know, because I'm not reading the article.

Why in god's name would Paypal need 28,500 employees to begin with? I realize it's a big important company, but that just seems insane to me.
