Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

You know, I grew up there and that probably explains the chronic cough.

being stick in the muds who hate the Youth, we have swapped it for Grist, which is from 2013 but also seems to be the origin of the 20% figure

Ok, so execs and major investors should be required to live near these behemoths, with the average healthcare the most citizen in their neighborhood afford.

I absolutely love the idea of Zuck moving into the townhome I grew up in off Fort street and playing 'gunshot or firework' at night.

Edit: for anybody who does not know what gunshot or firework is you stay up at night in the shitty neighborhood you live in with the police scanner or similar 'as it happens' news source available and every time you hear a loud bang in the distance you and your buds guess whether it was a gunshot or a firework.
