so that tech ceo that got murdered last week, that everyone leapt to assume was stabbed by some mentally ill homeless crackhead? a senseless random crime that was emblematic of san franciscos seemingly unstoppable slide into lawlessness? well it turns out that it was probably a fellow techie that did the slicing and the dicing

quote:

San Francisco police have made an arrest in the killing of the tech executive and Cash App creator Bob Lee, who was fatally stabbed last week in a crime that sent shock waves through the city and the tech industry.

Law enforcement officers made an arrest early Thursday morning in nearby Emeryville, Mission Local reported. The suspect in the case, Nima Momeni, appears to work in tech and reportedly knew Lee, according to the outlet, which was the first to report on the development.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/13/bob-lee-killing-suspect-arrested-san-francisco

quote:

According to a LinkedIn profile, Momeni is the owner of tech consulting firm Expand IT based in Emeryville and has been since 2010. Before that, Momeni worked in IT for several years at various companies. Momeni attended UC Berkeley, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Mission Local first reported Momeni’s arrest, reporting that the two were driving together through Downtown San Francisco before getting into an argument in the car leading up to Momeni stabbing Lee several times.

the massive reckoning will be making it harder and more expensive for people who actually need it to get it while having no effect on people who can pay techie salary money and you know it

what sucks is you know the facbook adderall pipeline is probably untouched while normal people can't get their actual medical needs met

I am curious what the valley dorks folks will do without, ephedrine? stronger stuff? because from what I've seen "just work sober" isn't an option for those folks
