Toplowtech posted:"Problems? We are making mad money here, there are no problems there!" is probably their permanent state of mind. "Problems? It turns out saving the world is wildly profitable, there are no problems there!" is probably closer, given the self-congratulatory bullshit that techlords seem to buy into.

I saw someone accuse him of that on Twitter the other day, but from what I could work out the entire argument centered around someone thinking “You only hear about Google’s failures and not all of the times we don’t fail” was a good argument.

And, as we all know, any woman who expresses an opinion on the internet is legally bound to reply to each and every well-actually-nerdsnipe quote-tweet as long as the concern troll gave out some yubikeys  I didn't think latching onto an activist's comment with a pet issue he dug up a few weeks back was the height of discourse that deserved all these maudlin takes about being blocked.

Things went slightly deeper than that, and there's a background of him claiming progressive values and solidarity and all, while constantly making GBS threads on anyone who's actually trying to organize on the ground and do things he hasn't vetted to go along with his pet projects. I've cordially loathed the man for around a year now myself, and in that time he's gone to bat for Sam Altman suggesting we need to allow homophobia to do physics while being a prick and pulling out of any solidarity work with software engineers who literally got fired for unionizing, among lots of other poo poo. He's written some tolerable stuff and is apparently a decent fundraiser, but seriously, gently caress that rear end in a top hat.

I’ve seen him poo poo all over Altman. Admittedly, I did a twitter detox earlier this year, but I could’ve sworn he was a vocal critic of all of Altman’s bullshit.

https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/941428630781026304 He's poo poo on Altman plenty for being the epitome of everything awful in Silicon Valley, and rightfully so, but he also has a very noticeable habit of "not understanding" strong reactions to discriminatory patterns in tech if it doesn't advantage him to do so. He's not public enemy number one, but he's a toxic personality and I really hope that someone who's listened to calls him on his poo poo someday. Anyway, I don't want to completely derail, so here's a depressing read about how many Facebook employees still drink the kool-aid.

He definitely dunks on Altman. https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/892782422022082560?s=20 I’m guessing this is the tweet in question. https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/941428630781026304?s=20 My own incredibly charitable way of reading this is “I’m not sure why anyone is surprised or outraged by this dude who is a very vocal friend of Peter loving Thiel is expressing his lovely opinions”. But I can’t see the tweets around this post to be sure. https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/790347673341665280?s=20 edit: Ok, yeah. We were looking in the same spot.

Right, it's privatized taxes, as in "if it's not profitable, it's not worth doing" which always works out great for social necessities.

The minimum investment is 1k and your vote count depends on how much you invest. The people who would benefit the most from neighborhood revitalization can't afford to have their voice heard. It is a thin veneer of SV respectability on a house flipping scheme.

What exactly was the methodology of the scraping? What are "account recovery and search tools that let users look people up by phone numbers and email addresses" and how does that let you "take information from profiles"? What, does Facebook feed you the account's email or password when you click Forgot Password?
