Takes me much less than a year to promise to do anything.

I love how the time factor is always ignored when tech companies eventually comply with regulation or just do the right thing. "at least they did it" isn't an argument, it's a consolation.

It took airbnb over a year(!) to show all the fees up front on the search results page instead of waiting to show them on the checkout page. That's over a year after their asshat CEO announced on twitter that they would be doing it (to quell the social media uproar about how deceptive it was)

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
