Well, can you walk around inside of a coffee cup? If so, you are on it. If not, you are in it.

> what do you think will happen when people find out that their neighbor is secretly a pretty wealthy criminal?

Call the police? Isn't this the point?

And? Is that a hurdle or something? You know homeless people are allowed to go on the internet? Smartphones? You'll find other homeless or desolate people here on HN - I won't name anyone out of respect but if you read enough comments here over time you would recognize them.

Ok and?

Let's say she's bitter, not principled.

Now what? What's different now?

I'd suspect bitter people who embellish and tell falsehoods in an attempt to smear the thing they're bitter against. At least, more so than a principled person would.

Eh, all the same to me in the end. I think if you try to avoid all bitterness in life there won't be much left.

> The question remains whether or not she would have written this book had she not been fired.

Assume the answer is no. What does this change about any of this?

She’s attempting to use the public to bludgeon Meta.

This is a fight among shitty people. I will not lionize either side. They both contributed to the shitty state of affairs today.

Meta can burn and she can go broke. I’m fine with both

That's a good reaction to have.

Thankfully she wrote the book so we know about all these bad deeds.

I don’t think the book revealed anything new about FB’s bad deeds, though. Was there novel info?

I think its just more exposure for already bad things.

Had she had a trove of emails or something, I might thing differently.

This is quite different from the recent lawsuits that produced novel material and evidence.

Knowing something is happening and reading detailed descriptions of them actually occurring is different, IMO. I learned things I didn't know while reading it, at least.

While not exactly the same as freeway call boxes... pretty much every state requires any business that are listed on the food/gas/hotel/recreation signs for off ramps to have a free phone for public use.

I don't know if this is true?

I'm pretty sure a pro is much better with amateur tools than a newb is with elite tools.

Give me the most expensive and fine art brushes and I doubt I could make anything worthy of hanging on a fridge. Bob Ross could outclass me with a napkin.

Not according to the letter obtained by WIRED, as written about up thread.

It can, it has meat buttons it can press or boss around.

We are all agents now

> Krebs’s article is based entirely on the sellers description of the (imaginary) product, rather than actual observation

I noticed. While researching I had a feeling of "is this just makeup on a pig?". Anyone can make pretty graphics or make claims. I tried reading a few selling points and I was weary.

One claimed to handle a MFA token handover and then somehow got access to the token and they could proxy it for you? The user types in the MFA token, they get the token. I cant figure out how they would bypass all browser protections to pass on the highly-secured token via a proxy. I've been online for 25 years, I understand on a deep level on the internet works and the web and what is happening in this situation, as I'm sure most here are.

Without a 0day, this just doesn't make sense. But this is pretty technical, and unless you hang out here then the above sounds perfectly reasonable but to us sounds like bullshit.

> he didn’t bother to source reasonable quality screenshots for the story

Also noted. Quickly found better quality versions myself with a quick search.
