This post is so bad. It keeps harping on security updates as if that's the be all end all. Not you know being able to even use your computer without it lagging or heating up like crazy. #wrong #patterns_cult_of_the_amateur_with_own_platform #patterns_wrong_about_tech_stuff #so_bad_its_good #pub

Guy says the routine bullshit that something like Basecamp, Backpack, & Highrise (as they were in 2006) could be duplicated in a few weekends with a bunch of open source people and released for free. And yet in 6+ years it has never happened. The closest to it, ActiveCollab went license only shortly after this post. Lulz. #arrogance #wrong #stupidity #blogger #2006 #37signals #open #source #pub

As of 2017-July, says $16B net worth. Just wrong! Elon owns roughly over 50% of SpaceX, last valued at $12B in 2015-January. Surely it is worth more 2.5 years later. Owns roughly 20% of Tesla (includes SolarCity). He essentially spent all his previous money on those three companies, so fine, nothing except his stake in these two companies. What about money he cashed out (prob only in SolarCity and Tesla)? -- A 55% ownership of $15B SpaceX is $8.25B. A 20% ownership of ~$60B Tesla market cap is $12B. So that's $20.25B net worth. Surely he has some stuff outside of the stocks. So add another $1.25B. $21.5B net worth. Even if you were to say 50% of $12B of SpaceX, that's still $6B and only $2.25B less than I'm saying. Still gets you $18B of only stake ownership. He could have debts and no assets/cash lol - so say $500M in debt. STILL $17.5B! Going further, if you say 20% of $58B market cap, that's $11.6B. Still $17.1B. Forbes exactly say $15.6B as of 2017-07-05. It's way too low, no matter what. You don't include the taxes he'd have to pay when cashing out, no? lol. -- $16.5B as of 2017-08-07. Luckily Bloomberg seems much better at this. They have him over $21B, as I rightfully have said he should be at. #Tesla #elon_musk #net_worth #money #billionaires #grinders #boss_peeps #motivation #fanboy #bad_journalism #bad_job #wrong #paypal_mafia #paypal #pub

Just to remember when the split of Swarm and Foursquare happened. 2014-05. The article itself is woefully weak. It just says Messenger split from Facebook "was largely criticzed"...yeah...just like every major change Facebook did from 2007 to like 2012 and then the Messenger split in 2014. Except now we know the Messenger split was a great idea and solidifed FB having a fourth huge app/site/product in its arsenal. #foursquare #journalism #predictions #wrong #Facebook #messenger #pub

James Cameron is a boss. But Patty Jenkins: "That’s who she is; that’s Wonder Woman. I want her to look like my childhood fantasy." Lol, what about the boys decades ago who's childhood fantasies were banging their future secretaries who are exclusively females? Guess because it's tradition and how it was during childhood, we should keep it that way? So bad. #SJWs #wrong #rekt #pub

Westbrook not doing any of the cliched shit put up about him this year. OKC is struggling as a potential powerhouse team. Westbrook is beasting still. #wrong #bad #im_a_fanboy #russell_westbrook #NBA #sports #pub

This is one of the worst pieces I’ve read. Acting like either party has ever been truly rebelious and not usually going for the status quo. IE the south in civil war wanted their slavery status quo. And then to act like the republicans of today are the rebels trying to upend things. the tea party is funded by billionaires who want the status quo! #awful #politics #wrong #status_quo #pub

Toys R Us bleeding money only true because of debt payments from a buy out. The company itself was fine profitability wise. Just smaller than it once was. #bad_journalism #wrong #lies #patterns_media_trot_out_untrue_tropes #pub
