Remember, we're talking about the diesels. The "Teutonic Porsche engineers" are working on the sports cars.

Re:Facebook paid £4,327 corporation tax in the UK in 2014

So, Facebook provides a free service to millions of people in the UK, and people are pissed that Facebook isn't PAYING more for the privilege of giving them free stuff?
Sounds like a bunch of ungrateful children to me.

I'll bet some of those SF voters would approve new developments if they didn't have rent control keeping THEIR prices down.

Let's call it like it is. Yellow journalists are going to stop at nothing to smear any company with a libertarian founder.

So, journalists get a pass when they 'investigate' someone, but the people they're investigating can't do a 'counter-investigation'? Are journalists some kind of special beings?

Ya, on the record here, I think you're absolutely correct.
A lot of journalists, Lacy included, have written pieces targeting founders based on events in their personal lives and their pasts.
People are correct to freak out when someone targets another person by digging into their private lives, the problem is a lot of tech journalists have gotten away with this, especially when the founders or entrepreneurs in question have been libertarians or right-wingers.

Is it not possible that there is a correlation between high IQ and better self control? That explanation would fit the facts just as well as Carolyn's without casting shade on massive groups of people for no reason.
