Define: Survived Chang co-founded Crashlytics, a mobile company building crash reporting for iOS and Android, with Jeff Seibert in 2011. Crashlytics raised $1 million from venture capitalists Flybridge Capital Partners and Baseline Ventures as well as individual angel investors David Chang, Lars Albright, Jennifer Lum, Peter Wernau, Roy Rodenstein, Chris Sheehan, Ty Danco, Joe Caruso, and others.[7][8][9] In April 2012, Crashlytics raised another $5 million from Flybridge Capital Partners and Baseline Ventures.[10] Crashlytics has been installed on over 2.9 billion active devices and is the #1 most installed SDK for performance. Its Answers product became #1 in mobile analytics-beating out Google Analytics.[11] In January 2013, Twitter acquired Crashlytics for over $100 million. Most of the package was in stock vesting over four years with an upfront payment of $38.2 million in common Twitter stock.[12] In January 2017, Google acquired Crashlytics from Twitter.[13][14][15]

I think this type of nostalgia will only exist for people now who grew up in the late 80's, 90's early 00's. The changes in society were so drastic going from basically nothing to a fully global and accessible internet for everyone. That type of drastic change will never happen again, hence any nostalgia trip you think will happen in 20 years will still be viewed through phones and screens and the internet will generally be the same. Virtual/augmented reality would have to significantly change the landscape of society for there to be a huge change and so far people are not gravitating towards virtual/augmented reality like experts thought they would.Part of that has to do with the fact that it is still inconvenient and expensive. Huge bulky goggles, only $3,000. Seamless augmented reality would be done through brain chips which are in severely early development.

@@QuickProgramming it’s not a joke, only old people use Facebook in the west. I’m 19 years old btw, I don’t mind saying it. In my country at least, only old people use Facebook. Even my parent’s generation is increasingly dumping Facebook in exchange for Instagram instead. Heck, even grandparents are using instagram now. I genuinely don’t know anyone my age who uses Facebook, and it’s been like that for years. Last time I used it I was 11 years old. Unless you’re from Africa or Asia, wth are you doing on Facebook? It’s full of boomers spreading fake news.

[@QuickProgramming]

@@agme8045 that's anecdotal evidence. Just coz no one you know uses it doesn't mean no one does. At 19, Google must be your friend. A simple Google search will tell you Facebook is the most used across all countries and ages. 320 million people in India use Facebook, while 190 million are from the USA. So USA is not so different to india considering india has almost 2 billion people, compared to 500 million from usa. It actually means more people per capita use facebook in usa than india. 40% of all UK people use facebook daily. Thats not a small number. 25% of facebook users are between 25-35, which is very high. So unless you consider this age group as old, your stats are wrong. Facebook may be the origin of most conspiracy theories but at this point, I think twitter has probably taken that spot since Elon took over

Sooooo essentially tested on college students first, you saw how destructive it was and how addicting it was, tweaked it to be even more ruthless then released it to the masses?

[@alainportant6412]

Stop acting out like a gay man. Nothing about this service is destructive, you're just blabbering nonsense that you heard on TV.

[@Nshan94]

so funny haha, my comment I just wrote basically touches on this too. Gnarly. You see these college students 'spending hours', as the announcer said, on 'The Facebook' and the camera pans to teenagers scrolling...haunting to see that that's what the majority of society does now a days. The seed was planted.

All of them have now became multi millionaires and billionaires. Wayne Chang started another software company and was bought by twitter for over $100M then he produced films and had several other investments.

"After years of seceretly monitoring the public we were astounded so many people would willingly publicize where they live, their religious and political views, and alphabetical lists of all their friends, personal Email addresses, phone numbers, hundreds of photos of themselves, and even status updates about what they were doing moment to moment. It is truly a dream come true for the CIA." -- Christopher Santinsky, Deputy CIA Director collaborating on the social media site called "facebook"

What a garbage little comment. You must be watching a lot of TV, because non of those things are actually true, or problematic. The n°1 reason for Facebook being a nightmare is censorship and deplatforming.

1:14 So Mark, can you open as many terminals as possible, so we have this shot where you look like a movie hacker?

[@soggy_dev]

This looks...very normal to me lol. The one on the right looks like it's his editor (probably vim or emacs), a couple on the left for running the app locally and any other tools might need (database client, etc.), and the actual site open in the bottom left corner. If they were going for movie hacker vibe, this is the most realistic movie I've ever seen

Mark is talking about using thefacebook to stalk people like it is the best thing ever. No one was saying: "Hold on a minute." This was years AFTER Sandra Bullock in "The Net". How did valid concerns about cyber safety in the early 90s get replaced by naivety ten years later?

[@MerlinTheCommenter]

There’s several documentaries on that. But to answer your question in short: Facebook. It encouraged your IRL profile instead of being an anon acct. Once it, twitter and other apps got on the phone, all those normie users got on and it became passed off as “credible” to have a “real” account, and more taboo to have an anon acct. Also, the wave of delusional anon accts LARPing as professionals or experts in various fields pretty much was the death nail for anon accts to be deemed credible by the masses. IMO, it’s human nature for all of that to happen so it was inevitable for anonymity to be demonized. There are infinitely more people who value their physical identity rather than what is in their minds, so they’ll jump at the first chance to revealing everything about themselves out of a desire for self validation, acceptance and attention. Basically, a lot of people online who aren’t even anon need therapy. Go figure.
