The billionaires made a promise — now some want out | TechCrunch

\n

Not everyone agrees on what “giving back” even means. To the increasingly significant libertarian wing of tech, the entire framework is wrong: Building companies, creating jobs, and driving innovation are the real contributions, and the pressure to layer philanthropy on top is, at best, a social convention; at worst, a shakedown dressed up as virtue.

\n

Few figures capture the current mood quite like Thiel, who never signed the Pledge himself and is no fan of Bill Gates (he has reportedly called Gates an “awful, awful person“). In fact,...

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to suspend construction of a $400 million ballroom it demolished the East Wing of the White House to make space for, barring work from proceeding without congressional approval.

Just happened upon an artist named GITA singing a song called “All I Ask” (a phenomenal performance in the video, by the way). Apparently, it was an Adele song from 2015 off of her “25” album. Here are the lyrics she sings in this video:

\n
\n

‘Cause all I ask is\nIf this is my last night with you\nHold me like I’m more than just a friend\nGive me a memory I can use\nTake me by the hand while we do what lovers do\nIt matters how this ends\nCause what if I never love again?

@manton Honestly, that would be a great start. I’ve not really paid attention to Facebook (as a platform) for so long that I don’t even know what’s possible (or what all is in the exported data that you get from the download).

\n

The thing that springs to mind is (and this is all assuming the export includes this data) a reference to the original message if I had commented on it. I think the same for the “like” aspect may be a step too far (for you). I saw something similar with my Twitter import, that the comments I made were out of context when the original post was not present.

@odd Totally agree…I was talking with my wife as we took my daughter back to school this past weekend. Someone summed it up like this: “They don’t like the change that has happened in the past 20-30 years (give or take). It makes them angry. Progress for others has not been progress for them. And they want things ‘back to the way they were’ when things were simpler for them.“

\n

I can understand the feeling. I would venture to say we all wish things could go back to a simpler time that we felt comfortable in.

\n

But that doesn’t mean you get to lash out at people and affect their lives for the worse. To me, that’s a thing we all learn (I hope) about being an adult. You don’t get everything you want, and you have to find a way to live with that disappointment. harsh, but true. If you can change it, absolutely do so. But NOT by harming others.
