His name will still go way down in history, that is assured


I wonder exactly where everything kind of went south for Mark and his platform, or was this always the goal since Facebook's inception


It went south around this point:

    Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
    Zuck: Just ask.
    Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
    [Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?
    Zuck: People just submitted it.
    Zuck: I don't know why.
    Zuck: They "trust me"
    Zuck: Dumb fucks.
I don't know why anyone trusted anything that came out of Zuckerberg's mouth for the last 20 years.


Arguably, inception

The "Dumb fucks" story is rather well-known

Any reference to it used to get downvoted. HN commenters would argue he has since changed, that he's older and wiser

But I also recall reading about a conversation he had with a classmate who started a similar database of student information at Harvard. Like the Winklevoss twins, he thought Zuckerberg was copying his idea. I believe he went on to create a website of searchable case law. Was his name Greenspan, I can't remember

Anyway, the gist of what I remember is that in a conversation with Greenspan, Zuckerberg specifically cited federal court as the place where his dishonesty would hit a wall, or something like that

Many years and billions of dollars later, it seems like this may be coming true


I'm more surprised that this already isn't a known fact. I wonder exactly how far into each device activity is being tracked.


It's down to the component level in many cases...


If you're aiming for remote opportunities, you could try platforms like Upwork or Fiverr since low pay doesn't bother you!!

But if you're genuinely looking for startups only, I would say try X.

If I may ask, why would you go for lower pay to work with a startup?


And now they want to reintroduce mid-race refuelling just to meet a weight reduction target. I hope they find safer ways to refuel if they go with it.


What app is that? And how does it perform fact check?


In the end, nothing beats pitching directly to the people who own the actual money printer. Why raise another Series when you can just be a line item in the federal budget?


Yeah, welcome to the new age of advertising


Congrats on the launch! I am pretty sure every great dev has built a simple workaround for a task at least once before realizing how painful it is to maintain state or even manage contacts in a spreadsheet. Will give the repo a spin during my free time, great work open-sourcing this.


Thanks! Looking forward to hear what you think of it.


Elon Musk has never really been a giver in my books
