Apple hiring a former Facebook ad products product manager, expanding its ads product suite, and expanding ads slots says more about how they see Facebook than the privacy changes they've made.

Ads is a services market that is growing fast and as the phone market saturates, services will become more important for Apple. This will also help reduce the margin pressure on iPhone hardware.

> His hiring “calls into question parts of our system of inclusion at Apple, including hiring panels, background checks, and our process to ensure our existing culture of inclusion is strong enough to withstand individuals who don’t share our inclusive values,” they write.

So they want to exclude someone for having different opinions to them, in the name of inclusivity?

Clown world.

How can anything ad related still be growing if most people either trained their brain to ignore/close ads instantly or use adblockers?

I think the clown world is hiring someone who wrote:

“Most women in the Bay Area are soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit. They have their self-regarding entitlement feminism, and ceaselessly vaunt their independence, but the reality is, come the epidemic plague or foreign invasion, they’d become precisely the sort of useless baggage you’d trade for a box of shotgun shells or a jerry can of diesel.”

It's especially ironic after an epidemic plague where 70% of health care workers are women. But I guess they're mostly useless baggage who are full of shit. Unlike this guy. See, he really understands how the world is and is just "telling it like it is". Let's trade all these useless women for shotgun shells, and hire people like this guy instead.

It’s weird for people of Latin descent. If they’re on your side, they are people of color, if they are not, then, by magic, they are no longer. This happens to Hispanic cops as well. If they are on the other side of the progressive equation, then they’re also people of color.

Yet I see companies like Cisco announcing mental health days for their utterly broken employees.

Different opinions in this case is that women and PoC are inferior.

That’s a reasonably difference of opinion to make choices over.

I wouldn’t trust performance assessments from him.
