I can guarantee you that his expertise (regardless of it being good or bad) was NOT the reason he was chosen for the position.

“Microsoft limped along releasing XP and then Vista. It tried but failed to match Apple’s mix of aesthetics and cool. Once wifi became ubiquitous, you were far more likely to whip out a Macbook than a Thinkpad.”

Are you insane? I am 100% agnostic about OS’s, and use MacOS, Windows, Linux, etc. on a daily basis in my…

Great historical article. What year was it written?

Not qualified? That’s definitely a valid point. But, he did more than just throw hand grenades. Don’t minimize his military experience to justify your opinion.  He did a LOT more as a wealthy young man than most of the Silicon Valley Bro’s did, who were probably just as wealthy.  

He was stationed at Camp Bastion, which has come under direct attack on more than one occasion. Including one ground attack that destroyed 6 USMC Harriers and killed a number of Marines. I’m pretty sure he was actually on the base during that attack. So yes, he was in actual danger. Reportedly he also participated in…

“Man With No Work Experience Will Now Arbitrate Your Reality”

And founded a couple of charities as well.

I suppose it’s in keeping with the Gizmodo brand to consider being in the military as not qualifying as work experience.

Uh didn’t the princeling fight in Afghanistan?

Sheesh. I hope you put on the oven mitts before you pulled out this hot take.

I believe his name was Derwood. 

As a reminder, the government has no digital record of gun owners or gun sales. All gun registration information requests from police departments have to be physically pulled from a folder and photocopied or faxed.

The only way this could have been stopped is a good guy with a gun... which could shoot the internet dead. 

Was it the Deep State? I bet it was the Deep State. That’s how they’re gunna take our guns!

The notch is a solution looking for a problem.

The patent trolls getting hit with copyright infringement?  Oh sweet sweet justice. 

I have very little doubt that he’ll hire the cheapest possible contractors to set up the platform even though he’d go in with absolutely no intention of paying them. The site’s security and stability will reflect that, but it won’t matter to Trump or the platform’s users since it’s all part of the grift.

I wonder how many of his followers will sign up to have all of their posts, videos, passwords and other personal information hacked within a month of launch? I’m betting this platform will have security holes that make Parler’s look small by comparison.

Did you watch the video at all? she linked it at the time stamp to show all the turns. The sketchy one was the last aborted left turn. The system didn’t detect a truck AND a truck towing a boat as a moving target (yellow designation instead of the blue in the other attempts) and was literally about to pull in front of…

I sometimes stare in wonder at the things I and other dumb random people get to see thanks to technology that some scientist or expert hobbyist a few hundred years ago would have literally cut off a finger to be able to view.
