So you scanned it with your own vibe-coded security app?


I think companies that don’t even acknowledge your application also need to be in this list. Most companies ghost at the application level.


I feel like this comment is validating the post's point.


Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Seriously though. I get financial stability is something a potential mate might want from a partner, but if that’s the only thing making them consider someone trying to court them, I see an unhappy marriage and divorce soon coming.


just for fun though is another story


"The author made this story available to Medium members only."

I can't read your article, my dude. Seemed kind of interesting.


Alphabet dropped “don’t be evil” from its moto in 2015. This guy went in knowing how the sausage was being made.


they did not. it’s still right there in the code of conduct

> scroll to the bottom

that illustrates the point nicely...


"But the motto was on display..."

"Yes, it was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."


That is not corporate motto.


the motto was always a part of the code of conduct (it was the preface), it just moved from google's to alphabet's when it became a subsidiary.


Motto's, slogans, mission statements...

All of these things are 100% bullshit and always have been. It's tragic that Google actually had people believing them when they championed "don't be evil".


The slogan originated in Eng, and was honest at the time, and for many years after.

It obviously got promoted by marketing for external consumption as well.


Maybe they should not have joined the company in the first place if they had "morals" or "principles". Yet they still joined in 2017 even after knowing that slogan was removed anyway.

Company mottos, principles, slogans and values are all fake fronts to lure in these sort of people alongside the free food with the carrots on those sticks.

Once that all runs out or the company goes south and stops being a daycare, then they start doing silly virtue signalling posts like this.

Now you are seeing who was there for the 'good vibes', free food, rest n' vest and who was there to keep the company alive.

...And finally we know that this is a love letter to get themselves hired at Anthropic. I think you might need more than that honestly.


I would have imagined the latter to be larger. What does this mean for PayPal if a video game company takes it over?


Not a thing. eBay did a PayPal spin off in 2015.


This lady sounds like a real piece of work. Communication is not in her vocabulary. She also has some Disney level over-romanticized perspective of love.


There's a direct line between ideology and human genocide. Just look at Nazi Germany.

"Good intentions" can easily pave the road to hell. I think a book that quickly illustrates this is Animal Farm.


That’s a pretty limited way of looking at the world: “Why would someone only do x instead of y?”

Part of learning to understand others means developing cognitive flexibility.


Ever since covid, I playfully ask people if they can guess why a lot of COVID non believers stocked up on toilet paper and food at the beginning of the lockdown.

Of course many say "they somehow thought it wouldn't be available later stupidly!" But I look past that one, and ask for possibly other reasons.

I have asked probably 100 people at this point.

Not a SINGLE person has said "in case they were wrong about the virus, and it was actually dangerous, they wouldn't want to leave their house to go get stuff"

That was the reason my family bought. And some of my anti COVID friends. And no one has guessed that. And they almost can't believe it or understand it.

And this is coming from people who took the virus seriously, but apparently didn't think ahead to not have to leave their house for basic dry goods?


It would be limited if it _literally_ wasn't a question, right?

I'm opening myself to understand things. I don't understand the combativeness.


I'll answer your question: 100% of web browser users do not care about which underlying engine the web browser is built on. And when they care about their web browser at all, they care about features and functionality.
