Facebook CEO Admits To Calling Users 'Dumb Fucks' http://gawker.com/5636765/facebook-ceo-admits-to-calling-use... "Mark Zuckerberg admits in a New Yorker profile that he mocked early Facebook users for trusting him with their personal information."
It's almost like he's a human being and is fallible.
Edit: less accusatory
What's with the hate in this thread? He achieved something quite remarkable. Back then, most people wouldn't have guessed that this silly campus site ever became as big as it is now. And now, Mark created a business with thousands of employees, changing how we communicate, how we discover information about the cities we live in. Give the man some respect. This isn't about his privileged background, but about the pers…
Perhaps, though I'm not convinced it was for the better. every time I log into Facebook I log off within five minutes wondering why I continue to waste my time with it. Maybe that's just my problem, I don't know.

Basically it's his flagrant disrespect and violation of human privacy at a mindbogglingly massive scale. He got us here by tricking us with cheap tricks. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/04/facebooks-evil-interfa... The way I see, he is one of the worst things to happen to the Internet if not the worst, but that's just my opinion.

What seems to be passed off as a foible seems to me to be sociopathic. Edit: less accusatory
It's also hugely diluting of signal/noise ratio in threads. Grandiose accusations are noise, and no evidence means no signal. Please don't post such things to HN.
Really shows the incredible privilege and connections he had, so early in his life, that catapulted FB over all the other budding social networks. It's always about who you know to give your work wings (which is apt, since his project was a social network)
What possible grounds could you have for claiming that? The video I watched showed nothing of that kind. I'd say what it showed was the incredible focus and product sense he had.

This is highly dependent on your circle of friends. It's much more enjoyable when you're following people who are doing interesting things An RSS reader wouldn't be compelling if you're just subscribed to Buzzfeed, after all.
I keep in contact with my actual friends, but not via FB.

Trash talking at that age is an embarrassingly normal thing to do. Accusing people of sociopathy without evidence is worse. It's also hugely diluting of signal/noise ratio in threads. Grandiose accusations are noise, and no evidence means no signal. Please don't post such things to HN.
