Facebook Dating, Pulse Q&A: Polls For Linkedin & Other Tech News Sept 5, 2019

Hi folks, it's Voss here from thechrisvossshow.com, thechrisvossshow.com. Hey, coming here with another great podcast, certainly appreciate you guys tuning in. Let's get into the meat of it. There's a lot of interesting stuff that's going on today. Let's start off the top with Product Hunt at producthunt.com. I got a chance to look down and like do every day for you folks or whenever we do one of these shows, it is an interview. I go through and kind of tell you what sticks out in my mind what kind of sticks out as like okay that's

interesting i kind of like that let's do it so looking down the list there's two things that stuck out on me today we'll get into one of them uh here in a second we'll just kind of segue with it but let's start out with the first one that really is doing well on today's product hunt list. It's got 832 upvotes. So it's doing incredibly well. It's a program or an app, or I guess you call it a Chrome extension called polls for LinkedIn. You can create view and answer polls on LinkedIn. It uses a Chrome extension you put on your Chrome browser and away you go. Pretty interesting polls for LinkedIn. And I don't know how they're pulling this off. I guess I'll have to do some more research on it and look at it.

I guess they're somehow using the API or an overlay. And what it makes it available is now you can do polls on LinkedIn. It enables them to create, view, answer polls. The B2B market research you can use shouldn't be hard and expensive in 2019, so you can use the Chrome extension that democratizes access to high-quality data. That's according to their post here on Product Hub. It's getting a lot of great reviews. People really like it. People are impressed with it.

I haven't tried it yet, honestly, but I will, and we'll probably do some follow-up on that. But I do like the idea of doing polls again. I don't know why LinkedIn ever took them away, but LinkedIn's been doing a lot of changes to the site in the Microsoft transition takeover, kind of making things their own, if you will. It seems like a lot of stuff they're taking back, especially in groups, is coming back now, slowly, painfully slowly. I really wish LinkedIn would get their shit together and get the live video launch for everyone. I'm just astounded at how long that's taking. But, well, you know, welcome to Microsoft. Really great they took it over. They've done more to damage the platform than they have to help it, in my opinion. But that's my opinion. I have a

huge 135,000 LinkedIn group that they completely crippled with their changes and doing the switch over uh for a long time there was kind of this weird combobulation of the program they'd done where they'd made the made the whole main website different and there was kind of like a different portal or i'm not sure what the term is for it where the groups and everything else are kind of and communities were kind of in a different area so uh they finally had to reach a point where they moved it over and and by doing that they had to take away all the services which really sucked and basically started turning into a google plus community section that just filled with porn and spam and all sorts of crap um now they're starting to open it back up where the mods have

more control so i'm starting to be a little bit more happier but it's just amazing how long everything is taking it's just what does microsoft just not have enough money or something what's going on over there are they on a tight budget give me a break people and and it's amazing a lot of the changes they've done you're just like do these people ever fucking use linkedin the programmers and shit do they ever fucking use this program before because god knows whatever they're changing does not work anyway uh sorry there i get a little bit of rant a little bit of rant from the chris voss in the wednesday morning chris v Moss is angry. I wonder if he's had his coffee. All right, calm down, Chris. Just get a grip.

All right, so many polls on LinkedIn. Wow, that turned into like a rant segue, didn't it? Wow, that just, it's like, Jesus Christ, Chris, it's update, and you just went off the fucking rails, man. You know, have a Snickers, buddy. Calm down. All right, you know, it was a journey. We went through it and now we're out the other side. All right. So check it out. Product hunt polls for LinkedIn. Uh, I was pretty interesting. I thought it was pretty cool. Or you, if you don't

find it on product, you're listening to this later, you go to the Chrome store and look for polls on LinkedIn. I'm going to install today and start doing some polls and see what's going on. But right now, uh, the people that tried it and reviewed it, they're giving a 4.6 out of five. So that's pretty darn good. Good for them. Um, and, uh, yeah, polls for LinkedIn. Uh, the second thing I saw on product hunt, and this has been rumored to be coming for a while and I've just kind of gone, Oh, this is going to be like, um, imagine if you took a nice social platform, you know, there's people that date on Facebook. Uh, a lot of my gal pal friends, they've told me, you know, they get enough dick pics and

hit ups and dating things. It doesn't matter if they're married. Doesn't even matter if they have 20 kids. Doesn't matter whether they're boy or girl. Uh, but the women do seem to get the brunt of it for male thirst, uh, which seems to be out of control these days on Tinder and everything else. Um, but, uh, I've always wondered how that was going to work when the rumored Facebook dating arrived. Well, now the wonderment can stop because it's here. What's interesting is LinkedIn polling

on the charts on product on right now. What was it? It had, where did it go? I think 832 polls for LinkedIn. The Facebook dating post on Product Hunt only has 32 upvotes. So that might tell you where that's going or how people feel about it. Like, oh, and someone posted just what I was posting on Facebook too. What could go wrong? Oh my God. Uh, you know, on one hand it just looks like they're mocking stuff, uh, on the Facebook dating thing. So even the comments are bad. Um, yeah, that's,

that's really freaking interesting that uh people are that excited about facebook dating so i mean technically facebook dating already goes on this is pretty good you know honestly i'll be honest with you i'm a single guy and so on tinder and bumble i kind of wish i could get more data on people because you know i have to post stuff like hey man if you believe in there's a couple things that if you believe in or support and we i don't care how hot you are you could be a victoria's secret model i'm serious i don't give a fuck there are certain things that if you have them believe in them support them i i don't care how hot you are my i just go no i don't want to

even have to spend an hour over dinner with you to talk to you because you're just going to suck the brain out of my head. I'm sorry. I, you know, I, and I'm sure there's a lot of people that feel that same way. I love everybody. I, I don't, I, I'm pretty open-minded to just about everything, uh, except for a few, uh, you know, principal things that probably most of humanity should avoid. So, um, you know, I just, I just, you know, I think you're a good person. You can go believe what you want to believe. I just don't want you in my fucking life because I don't want to have to hear about the stupid shit you believe. That's just the way I am. And I think a lot of

people are the same way. Um, I mean, you know, if you're a Christian, you probably don't want to date a devil worshiper. If you're, if you're, um, you know, if you're, you know, against cannibalism, you probably don't want to date a cannibal. That's all I'm saying, man. There's certain things you just don't want to date. Now there's some people I don't want to judge. If you're a cannibal and you want to date other cannibals and everyone's a consenting adult, well, okay okay knock yourself the fuck out great but you know some of us don't want to date you because we're not going to sleep really well at night beside you in the bed i'm just saying you know like whenever you're whenever you uh say hey do you want me to cook you something to eat we're gonna get the heebie-jeebies and run. So, you know, just saying.

Are there any cannibals on Twitter? Somebody told me. I didn't even search for that. Sounds kinky. Kinky. What kind of fetish do you have, Chris? I have a cannibal fetish. That's not going to end well. I'm pretty sure it's not legal either in certain countries, most countries. I think most anywhere except's not legal either in certain countries, most countries. I think most anywhere except for indigenous species out in the middle of nowhere where there is no law. They're like, you look good. Food. I'm against cannibalism though because I'm a big fat guy, so I know I'm the first guy that everyone's going to go for. They're going to be like, yeah, that guy's probably got some good marbling, some good fat marbling in his meat, he's a big guy, if you're a cannibal, you want to be like the little skinny

guy with no meat on his bones, you're just like hard muscle and like nasty bone, and they're just like, yeah, we're not going to eat, we're going to eat the fat guy who's clearly got enough grease and burgers in him, anyway, I don't know why, the cannibalism show don't know why the cannibalism show tune in for the cannibalism show tomorrow next on friday whatever i don't fucking man the segways today are just off the chart aren't they wow okay let's try to get back on track chris so facebook dating has launched i don't even know if this is an app let me check my phone real quick see if you can download this as an app or i don't even know if it's like integrated into Facebook but before I got segwayed off there on the count cannibalism segment I do need a Chris for the cannibalism segment he has good

recipes seasoning Facebook dating and it looks like people are googling it so it's up on the thing I don't see it on here I think it's rolling out so maybe I don't see it but maybe it's just installed so anyway Facebook dating if you're a woman I really feel bad for you because you guys get enough crap in your message box as it is now it's just probably gonna go the next level but what I did say before I said wait two or three times now getting back to the next level but what i did say before i segued two or three times now uh getting back to the original um was i would like to see your facebook posts on tinder and bumble like if i when i see you on bumble or tinder there's some people they say things and i go hmm i want to go on a journey with that because that sounds like an inference to a whole deeper

pot that i don't want to be in. And it's like, you don't want to, I don't know about, I don't have the same thirst that other guys do because I've dated like hundreds of women's in my lifetime. I've, I've been single all my life. So I'm not a desperate, uh, married guy, which is probably 50 to 60% of most dating sites. Um, you know, they're on there trying to get laid lying uh you know i so i'm not i'm i'm i'm the bull you know there's an old story two bulls sit up top of the mountain top well you know the young bull wants to run down and sleep with them all the old bull wants

to just walk down and take his time um so you know, you know, I'm an old bull, so I've, I've seen all dated at all. Uh, I don't, you know, I'm not losing my whole shit just cause I meet a girl and get a chance to talk to her. Um, so I don't know, maybe I'm just old, maybe I'm just seeing it all. Maybe I'm just have some self respect. I don't know what it is. Maybe I have some respect for women. I don't know, but, uh, this is me. So, but I would like to see, you know, I, I do kind of like this. It would be nice to see, uh, people that I might want to date on Facebook. I certainly want to, don't want to play on my friend pool. The nice thing about my friend pool on Facebook is they've all seen my shit cause I'm pretty transparent. I'm pretty honest about it. So, you know, fortunately, any woman who follows me on Facebook, who's friends with me already probably wants to never have anything to do with me a date.

And I can accept that. That's fine. It's kind of my qualifiers. I like to call it. I'm like, yeah, yeah. There's from me on Facebook. If you find you still like me after that and when I post and all the stupid shit I say, well, God bless you. You probably are the one.

So far, that hasn't happened. Probably never will. Anyway, it's just one of those things, man. We all fall in love and we don't know who the fuck the other person is. It's only when we find out who they are after we've been pregnant and married them or moved in with them, then we're're like what the fuck did i just fucking do anyway welcome to life uh so facebook dating it should be interesting uh hopefully they have some different security things that are on here i certainly would like to for one see your

facebook post if i'm dating you um i would kind of like to know the shit you're saying and social media and blah blah blah and i guess by year-end dating, Facebook dating users will be able to select which Facebook or Instagram stories they want to add to their dating profile. So this is kind of interesting. I don't know. Do you trust? I mean, honestly, do you really trust Facebook with your dating information now? Of course, for those of you, you may be already doing that privately on Facebook chats. And, you know, we've seen people have open relationships.

And, of course, people, you know, they've got their marriages on Facebook. And every now and then they get in a little married fight. Or you're like, every now and then they get in a little lovey. And you're just like, hey, get off Facebook and go to a room, you motherfuckers. So there's that. So Facebook dating. I don't know if this is going to kill Tinder. I don't know if this is going to kill Bumble, why don't you message me on Facebook, Facebook, Ford says Chris Voss, or you can date

me, no, I'm just kidding, or you can message me on Twitter, Twitter, Ford says Chris Voss, or LinkedIn, Ford says Chris Voss, you can find me anywhere, Chris Voss, pretty much, except for the dot com, I don't know why, that got bought way before I came along, so anyway, let me know. Do you think it's going to kill Bumble? Do you think it's going to kill whatever? And maybe I'll make a LinkedIn post of this, which is weird because it's on LinkedIn. Maybe I'll do a LinkedIn poll with the new LinkedIn poll thing on whether or not Tinder and all these people survive.

You know, Apple kind of had that for a long time where once Apple moved into a space, it would pretty much kill everyone. But I think Spotify showed them the business when it came to music and podcasts. So there's that. Anyway, Facebook dating. What could go wrong? That's my point. Find who you love through what you like. Now, you know, I don't know.

Like, I've seen, like, there's people that i've been interested in dating on facebook uh i mean not like seriously like i'm kind of like okay she's attractive she talks to me she's kind of cool and then i'll go through the likes and then i'll be like oh she's into cannibalism that's not gonna work out yeah just scratch that idea uh you know so your facebook likes movies stuff that you like you know i might look and i'll be like she's into country music yeah it's not gonna work out so there's that um and um so i i don't know man uh maybe facebook can put you together make suggestions of what you like based upon what you post what you like on facebook and you know they can be like

oh this friend likes you know old black and white movies film nor like you do and they're also a bogey fan you know um maybe maybe that'd be good they can make suggestions um the nice the one thing i'd like to see in a dating app this is what i like to fucking see and hopefully the facebook app might do this is I'm so fucking sick and tired of married guys being on my fucking single sites I'm so fucking tired of that they represent 50% of those sites if not more and they're just lying motherfuckers wanting to get laid when they sold their soul to a marriage and they should just shut up and go live their fucking marriage and get out of my fucking pool uh and I'll meet the girls and they should just shut up and go live their fucking marriage and get out of my fucking pool.

And I'll meet the girls, and they're like, oh, yeah, I thought he was single, and then I find out he's got a wife and what a fucking asshole, blah, blah, blah. Now I'm pregnant. You're just like, oh, my God, I could have done that. No, I'm just kidding. But technically, I could have done that, not the pregnant part, but done. Yeah, you get it. Anyway, it would be great if Facebook dating would be awesome because what it would do is it would basically go,

you're not dating, you're married, man. Unless you enable the open relationship part of the relationship area of your profile, fuck you. So maybe that would be good. And ladies, people and women in in relationships women and they're married you might want to keep an eye on your uh on your uh husband's or boyfriend's facebook status because if he if he puts single on his facebook thing because he's changing it for facebook dating busted busted anyway uh that's what i think about facebook dating or what i think so far i'm sure

i'll have opinions on it later uh dating is an opt-in experience oh so it looks like maybe you have to go in your privacy settings and turn on your dating thing and it will suggest friends of friends that's interesting who can see your dating but maybe it's I don't know I don't you just we'll just figure it out so anyway some of us were so toxic we're so awful people we don't want people that we want to date or at least you know until we hook them get them trapped into our horrible lives and relationships people that we are. We don't want them reading our Facebook posts because then they'll know.

You got to love it. So there's that. Kind of reminds me of a swinger, a marriage swinger, open relationship swinger gal who was hitting on me one time at an event or show. I could tell she was married, uh, and had kids. And I remember, uh, she was hitting on me and I was just like, this is, uh, this doesn't make any sense. And she was hitting all my friends and I'm like, this is a gal who just goes to events and hits on, you know, whomever. Now there's nothing wrong

with that. I'm not judging. I'm just saying that's what was going on. I'm just stating the facts here. We're just telling the story, man. It's just the story. There's no judging. So anyway, I could kind of tell that her husband must be around. Cause I've been around a few of these people that are swingers and usually their husband's around and they, it's like a game. Um, and I, I just don't waste my time with that shit. Cause I got better things to do. And I really don't want some, somebody's husband watching me in a closet being his wife or, you know, watching me being his wife. Um, I, I just have no desire.

It's just not interesting. Now, if you do that, I'm not judging you again. So have fun, be safe. I hope everyone's consenting and whatever and knows what's going on. But I've actually had friends that didn't know that's what was going on. And I think that's kind of subjective and not honest. And I don't think that's right. I think it's a little unethical.

So anyway, maybe, you know, whatever. I give up. Okay, let's get on the news. Chris, just get on the news, man. I didn't want to hear about Facebook dating. I don't care. I just want to know what's going on in the fucking world. All right, here's this part for you.

We're here now. Are you happy? Bloomberg is announcing, this is a rumor too, by the way. Keep that in mind. Sources, sources say, Apple is developing in-screen fingerprint id for its iphones and working on its first low-cost iphone since the iphone se which was a total piece of shit no one bought it both for as early as 2020 i don't know why they're going back to that well

uh of cheapness but i don't know do what you want Apple you got lots of fucking money like what do you care? I Don't know what they're doing that that thing, but I do like the in-screen fingerprint ID. That's very cool I'm all for that fingerprints on the screen. I mean why do we still have a button? It's 2019 and probably 2020 when that phone comes out. I think it's a brilliant idea so Good on you Apple if you really pull it out, and it's not just a rumor, it's real. So there's that. This is interesting.

This is an article from TechCrunch by Zach Whitaker. Unsecured database with 419 million plus phone numbers. I hate to be the guy who had to count that. Link to Facebook accounts have been found. FB says data was obtained before it was disabled searching for users via the phone number wow man 419 million plus phone numbers um i don't know on one hand you're kind of like wow that's really bad i mean technically you could use people's phone numbers to break into security things like like sometimes you know companies be

like before we uh let you have into your bank account can you give us the last four digits of your phone number and so hackers like yeah man i've got 419 last numbers which one do you want um so so there's that i mean i laugh but it's technically shouldn't be funny again we need to enact laws that make this sort of privacy hacks criminal and like we're talking big criminal like if you're like if you're an evil hacker and shit we're talking like we cut off your penis send you to prison for life and then we just put a tattoo on your ass that says rape me here i'm not endorsing right but i do endorse prison rape because uh if you're if you're a horrible vicious person well then you've

got it coming so have fun with that uh that's a horrible thing to say wasn't it mean mean chris you know whatever uh this is why we throw you in prison because you are a scourge to humanity and we just really don't need you around the rest of us cause you just, we're just your prey. Um, so you can go be somebody else's prey. Have fun with that. See how it feels. Uh, so anyway, this is another reason why I think law should be tighter and acted. Um, just more secure databases.

I mean, at this point I've given up, I'm pretty much sure everyone has everything they need to know about me. I use two-factor identification. Not like that's always going to help. Encryption. And I don't know. I just walk around wearing a condom all day long across my whole body and my phone. So I don't think it helps, but it makes me feel more secure. Don't judge me.

According to The Verge, Google is open sourcing its differential privacy library, which it uses to securely draw insights from data sets containing sensitive user information. So basically what that means is they're making it available to anyone. So have fun. Your data is up for sale. Way to go. God damn. so have fun your data is up for sale way to go god damn uh and gadget you if you listen to the podcast and you better be listening daily because you're going to miss out on these little tidbits and you'll also miss out on the thread that goes into another podcast like this one uh samsung says

their 502 gigabyte 5G model of the Galaxy Fold. We talked about this the other day. It'll fold up. Will be available in Europe starting in 18. What the holy mother. Will starting September 18th in Europe for $2,000. We're making $2,000 phones now. I mean, I knew there was a few before, before but this is gonna come commonplace holy it's gonna get to where a phone costs more than my

car i'm gonna need a mortgage for my home it's like it's like the banker's gonna be like so why do you need this home equity loan chris so i can buy a phone and then i'm just gonna turn in and buy another one in two years so I need just a revolving line of credit um oh and it's gonna launch in the uh US in the coming weeks so if you remember the Galaxy Fold is that one where the uh uh all the YouTubers and reviewers were opening up and they were pulling the screen off because it looked like it was a piece of plastic you normally pull off phones when you first get them and uh yeah they were tearing the screen cover right off the phone uh this is according to bloomberg this is according to sources so rumor as well we work is considering seeking an evaluation of 20 billion to 30 billion it's us ipo

making a significant reduction from its early evaluation of 47 billion i really you know i mean technically these guys are a real estate company. I don't understand why they're referred to as a virtual tech company. They're just a real estate office company. And while you do have depreciation, write-offs, and real estate holdings that way, you have to buy hard assets. So you have to spend hard cash, and that's one of the biggest problems with their balance sheet is,

I mean, you've got to buy a fucking building right you gotta you gotta i mean you can't mortgage it and stuff so you're just making payments or commercial loans or whatever but that really hurts your bottom line um so uh you know you're you're you're basically a real estate investor for commercial that's all it is instead of just putting a bunch of office buildings in it you're selling like wide open spaces so people can network and i don't know sit around and listen to each other burp fart and do their work on their laptop or whatever goes on there i don't even know what goes on there it's basically like a it's basically like an a giant whore office where you're just going there to dump on it when you want work and then leave when you don't. It's for people that don't have an office to go to, so they can go to this thing and you can rent it, which is pretty weird.

It's pretty damn expensive. I looked at it. But, hey, whatever works for you, man. That's your thing. I'm not judging. This is kind of interesting according to geekwire microsoft acquires seattle-based cloud migration company moveray i'm not sure i'm pronouncing that move r e moveray i don't know i'm not pronouncing right i don't care so there uh for an undisclosed amount moveray is uh microsoft's third Azure-related acquisition since July.

I really don't care about Azure and stuff. I'm not there. It's not me. I'm just a little guy doing my little thing. Not working for the big, whatever, Salesforce and all that kind of crap.

I don't care. This is just out. The Verge Android 10 review. Notifications, privacy permissions easy to manage, digital well-being features confusing, and most phones won't get this update soon. I'm really jelly.

I love Android phones. AT&T sends us to review. Thank you, AT&T. The Galaxy Notes, the Galaxy phones. We love the phones. They're awesome. Just every Galaxy gets better. I love the Galaxy Notes.

That's my favorite thing. I was so heartbroken over Note 7, but they have redeemed themselves over 8, 9, 10, and they just keep getting better. God bless them. You can go to AT&T.com, and thanks to AT&T for always being a lover and supporter of the show. Anyway, what else do we have here? So check out Android 10. All my friends who got the Android phone that comes from Android Direct,

Pixel, I think it's called, for some of you, I'm brain farting on it. Whatever that phone is that starts with a P from Android, they get it first. And so all my friends got it. I'm just crossing my fingers waiting for the old AT&T to drop the update so I can put it on my note, my Galaxy Samsung note. I've got to love it. Anyway, you can check that out. A federal judge has ruled that a government database of people deemed to be known or suspected terrorists

violates U.S. citizens' constitutional rights. This is according to the New York Times. This is kind of interesting. I don't know if people are aware of this database. There are some people who are on certain databases they're not aware of uh and if you're familiar with this database sometimes it includes the no fly list and sometimes people like you know your name's adam smith the terrorist is named adam smith and somehow you can't get on a plane because you're not that adam smith but you are named adam smith so you're just like fuck uh and certainly I don't want the FBI crashing down my door

cause they think I'm some other dude. Fortunately, I have a weird name. That's pretty unique. So I don't have to worry about that, but I don't really don't want to get, you know, associated. And there's people, I think that one of the challenges with, if I recall it, one of the challenges with the no-fi list and some of these other lists is there's no way for you to, uh, lobby to get your name off it or to be like, hey, I'm not really a bad guy. I just wrote some posts against the government, and I don't really hate the government. I'm not trying to destroy it or be evil in any way, shape, or form. I'm just using my free speech or something.

So there does need to be a way to watch the watchers and evaluate whatever and give people the ability know, the ability to defend themselves in a court of law, according to the constitution, be able to defend themselves against, um, repression in the government, et cetera, et cetera. You know, if you're on a list, you should be able to be like, Hey, um, can I at least have a case and plea my plea, my, uh, whatever I feel about me being on that list. I think that's appropriate. Um, and if you're a terrorist, then, then you know then the FBI could be like yeah here

We got all your texts and in the books you read and you know the crap you said on Gab AI and 4chan 8chan and all that stuff and yeah, you're still going to jail buddy way to go and good for the FBI I like that like I like having my government protect me from really people, but let's make sure those people are evil And they're they're pretty good at it, but there's the list. So that's what the judge did. This is kind of interesting. This is from The Verge. And once again, if you follow the files or the threads on The Chris Foss Show,

because you listen every day to every episode because you're such a great listener. I love you. But it's platonic, so let's keep it that way. Unless you're hot. A hot chick, then we're fine. Let's see. Twitter has temporarily, and then, of course, check my Tinder profile to see the three things

or two things it is that I will not date you regardless of whether you're a Victoria's Secret or anymore. Just had to throw that in there. Singer. Twitter has temporarily turned off the ability to tweet via text message just days after the feature was misused by hackers to tweet a racial slur bomb threat and everything else on jack dorsey's account i didn't i mean on one hand it was scary to see jack's account get hacked because you're like wow if they can hack his

account they can hack anybody's account they could find any sort of um you know access point inside of google uh but evidently the sms to tweet feature may have been and i'm sure we'll find out soon enough may have been one of the reasons ways they gain access to it it certainly was probably one of the ways they were you know writing the ugly stuff on the thing, the SMS to tweet feature. I wonder if they hacked into whatever the venue or transport, whatever it was that transports the SMS to tweet. They somehow hacked into that without getting into Jack Dorsey's password. Because I'm imagining he has a really good password. I hope it's not TWI TT er

that would be bad or one two three four I'm imagining it you know at least has two-factor identification if you're a billionaire I don't even know what you have for cover your passwords and stuff or if you run Twitter Facebook or Microsoft or something I don't you know what like I don't know you'd have like ten people or something. I don't even know what. I don't know. You'd have like 10 people or something that have to give approval just to get into your account every time you want to get into it. So maybe that's what they did. They figured some way to exploit the SMS to tweet feature

through a third party or whoever handles that, maybe AT&T, Verizon, Wireless, T-Mobile or or something I don't know man but somebody figure it out and so I hope they I hope they put a squash on it which it looks like they did and figures out how to make sure that doesn't happen ever again so that should be interesting this is kind of interesting too a little political but let's talk about it because we've talked about the implications of technology and politics. And I don't want to get political again with you, but this is a thing. This is part of the technology discussion.

This is part of the news discussion. According to the New York Times, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft held a day-long meeting with U.S. government officials over the 2020 election and hopefully discussions about how to best make sure that we know we're not being exploited manipulated we're not losing faith in our electoral systems we're not having Iran or Russia or China or anybody any other bad actors who want to take in influence our elections just run amok for them. I mean, it seems like most times they don't even really want to change elections other than just making us not want to vote.

And that can be one of the most disgusting things they can do to us, is once we lose faith in our democracy, well, then we start looking to oligarchy and authoritarian rule and going, well, maybe that'll be better because then no one messes with our election. And whoever those people are are like, yeah, we own them now. So that'll be interesting to see how that plays out. From a technology basis, not just political, but from a technology basis, from the evolution of social media, the evolution of these tech giants and stuff.

It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out across the historical thing because a lot of people got a lot of bets on for it and the future of the country probably depends on it. And at the very least, regardless of what you think about politics, I really would like not to have to worry about if my vote's going to get changed by a machine by Russia or if some sort of outside manipulation is. And there's enough of this own manipulation, gerrymandering, and, you know, poll closing and different things that we do internally.

You kind of, you know, it's not okay if it's us doing it to us, but when it's Russia and other countries that are our horrible enemies fucking with us, that's just even more not cool.
