Unscrupulous guy who stole the idea from other guys in university, then used tribal nepotism to make sure his fabric of society destructive platform is the one who gets big-finance VC funding in order to destroy society to make money?
Pretty common pattern in the business racket if you look at history.
Fine, cronyism then, if that technicality was the snag.
Zuck was very well connected in the academic, legal, tech and finance industry, that's how he got away with theft and got VC money thrown at his company and not other companies doing the same thing.
>I really applaud Zuckerberg for positively embracing all the attention that's been shouldered on him, really. I think stuff like this SNL skit or him taking his core team at Facebook to watch "The Social Network" together at a movie theatre just shows tremendous inner strength and maturity on his part. It's great to see him be able to laugh it off and joke about it.
He's come a long way in his public speaking skills too, he was pretty natural and comedic during his talk at Startup School. I think he's only going to get better from this point on too.
Yeah 15 years ago. We also thought Twitter was going to foster a positive social revolution, increase accountability, and topple autocracies. We saw how that turned out. Uber was once loved, Airbnb was once loved, we’ve seen it over and over again. HN isn’t exceptional here.
