Sundar Pee in your Eye

I recently read Sarah Wynn-Williams' book about working at Facebork. Among many other revelations (like, her boss pressuring her to describe the blood coming out of her vagina from a post-birth hemorrhage - something so awful I wonder why in the hell I'm even telling this other story) she said everybody there constantly let Zuckerberg win board games. So in addition to everything else wrong with him, that pale-to-the-point-of-translucent tiny man gets to think he's amazingly good at board games.

To her credit, Wynn-Williams kicked the shit out of him at Settlers of Cataan and then even pointed out to him where he fucked up.

ffffuuuuuuuu

vowing to hold off on any future layoffs

He didn't say anything about holding off past layoffs. Get ready for some retroactive shitcanning.

If you have somebody gullible enough to hand you a bag full of cash, you have to be there to receive the bag. You can scam from India or wherever, but you have to deal with gift cards and the like.

When I lived in Florida in the '90s, there was a big story in the news about a woman who was contacted by scammers claiming to be the FBI. They told her they needed her help to catch some criminal, and that they needed her to take out $5000 in cash from her savings account and give it to them in a public place. She did this, and they contacted her again and said they almost had the guy but they needed her to take out another $5000, which she did. She only got suspicious and called the cops after they tried this a third time but nobody showed up to receive the money. Apparently they assumed she was on to them and that the third time was a trap set up by the police.

I was a programmer for 25 years and I never needed to use regex for anything. Also never once needed to write a sorting algorithm. My favorite sorting algorithm was the "SORT BY" clause in SQL.

"You there ... make that great screaming noise again when I impale this thing. Hey! Are you even listening?"

There is no I in raper.

I just read her book. Holy shit are the Facebook execs vile people. Just to pull one turd from the pile, her boss there was Joel Kaplan, the dude who worked for George W. Bush and was part of the "Brooks Brothers Riot" in Florida in 2000. Wynn-Williams had had a baby that caused an embolism; she had something like 25 blood transfusions and was continuing to bleed for months afterwards. Kaplan would conduct one-on-one online meetings with her in his underwear and pressure her to describe the blood coming out of her vagina.

And that's just one example of the personal vileness of these people. They also manage possibly the most evil company in world history.

Doesn't even have to sell any of it. Just borrows against it as collateral and pays the loans off with new loans borrowed against the ever-increasing value.
