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.

I'm amazed celebrities are willing to wear these in advertisements. Public backlash has been incredibly loud, and I wouldn't be surprised if they lose followers, end up on boycott lists, or even have to shutter their private brands.

Can't believe their PR teams are letting them do this. It's like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Goose was not valued

I can't decide if it's fitting or ironic that this group of men who spends collectively one week a year in spaces they don't either literally own or otherwise totally control has such a hard time understanding concerns the rest of us have about privacy.
