Kinda of scary that people are collecting X founder's profile. Although these data are publicly available, this is still kind of scary.
Not only that but he's the CEO of a transnational corporation: their public pronouncements are always examined for any sort of securities edge.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Do you realize that 'people are collecting X founder's profile' is essentially nothing highly significant in and of itself in this day and age (much thanks to Zuckerberg&co, ironically enough)? -- because this information is out there anyway and will always be there, anyone who's interested can cull that information with considerably little effort with some clever scraping scripts. What's offered with this initiative…
I do. I wrote that in my comment if you read it. But it is still quite "creepy" to see someone making that effort to collect all your public appearance and put into a profile, shared on HN when you wake up (although you have to send in an email stating your goal). And this is normally a job the public relation firm has to do.
I think Zuckerberg's doings are a lot creepier than this when you really get down to it.
Looking forward to the torrent. Tragic that this is what we are reduced to as a society.
"The Zuckerberg Files is an open-access public archive" ... "Scholars wishing to gain access to the full archive should email access@zuckerbergfiles.org with their name, affiliation, and a brief description of the research project or purpose for which the materials will be put." Open-ish.
Aka closed :)

But it's in a box. And it's up there. And you have to wait for someone to bring a ladder.

Self undermining, that is.
While they don't ask upfront for money, they make a commendable effort of actually keeping people away from those files by asking people to email them with a stated research goal. Casually interested normal folks need not apply. It doesn't help either that their text files are in PDF instead of a format that can actually be programmatically processed.
Oh well. I guess you can print it out really nicely. And it's "portable"!
Sure, knowing how the CEO thinks is a good judge to know where Facebook is going, but it's a bit odd to think that Zuckerberg doesn't take note of what the Board say.
Why aren't they logging what Sandberg, Thiel and Graham say/do?
