Observations from this article:

- Zuckerberg denied he is running for president in 2020. I wonder what is the reason of his postelection tour in America and his big PR team. [1] I don't think it's possible to be both Statesman Zuck and Silicon Valley engineer Zuck. As the article says, you cannot be concerned with only quantifiable outcomes and at the same time propagate fuzzy human ideas like ethics, judgment and intuition.

- Facebook's motto of Move Fast and Break Things seems to be replaced with Break Things and Test Results. The News Feed has turned into a Skinner box to study the daily behaviour of more than a billion people.

- I get very overstimulated looking at the picture of their newsfeed office for a few seconds - bravo for people being able to be focused and able to write code in that environment!
