You're right, we should all emulate PG and just assume Musk is right instead of having the intestinal fortitude to call out grifters and stop encouraging idolatry of these pieces of shit.

Best part is every action he takes with Twitter further tanks Tesla's market cap as everyone realizes he's an unhinged pathetic ignorant fuck.

Watching VC elites ever so slowly realize Elon is a piece of shit conman is hilarious.

Fuck Elon/Twitter. We need a new actual visionary to build the next generation of social media, not a power-hungry alt-right panderer.

Some tangible examples are: credit card transaction data, individual geolocation or foot-traffic data from mobile phone sdks or carriers themselves, receipts scraped/exfiltrated from email inboxes, individual browsing history, or highly targeted web scraped data.

All "anonymized" of course.

The user in question sells alt data. If they’re remotely competent at doing so, they have zero need to work at a startup much less a YC-funded one.

It didn’t benefit Drivetime at all, but father & son more than made up for it by selling off CVNA as it rallied to $370 last year.

Give it a year or two, it’ll all come out.

There was a whole lot of fraud going on between Carvana (public) and DriveTime (private). It'll come out in due course.

Those features are annoying, I agree, but they're also a checkbox away from being disabled. Less time than it took you to write this rant.

Readable font-sizes don't come cheap!

You're being downvoted for telling people exactly why they got laid off. It's time to wake the fuck up engineers. When you complacently don't pay attention to your business and core offering, this is what happens.

In related news, Elon Musk sent personalized invites to each individual banned by Facebook to join Twitter, complete with 3 months free verified blue badge.

abused? it’s a captcha solver. I’d argue abuse (from the perspective of the target website/app) is the primary business case.

That’s true in every dynamic scripting language.

I’ve worked alongside and interviewed software engineers for 20+ years. I definitely think the higher the level of education the less pragmatic and functional the engineer.

I think the primary signal for Narcissistic Collapse is acquiring and/or owning a “free speech” social media platform.

The username in question isn't in this dataset but maybe it was created in the past 10 days, as the max(timestamp) is Nov 16th, 2022.
