Aha! You know what- Surprise, Nearly everything is a reinvention + addition of a few extra things from the past.
You think SpaceX isn't a reinvention of what NASA has been doing since decades? Let alone that, if SpaceX is even doing all that its because somebody like NASA and space research organizations of various countries have contributed to fundamental things required for Space exploration.
Nearly everything you wrote applies to any other company. Every company can be replaced with any other company. That is the most beautiful and scariest part of it all.
>>Making a lot of money does not automatically equate accomplishment.
It does actually. Just because some of us can't, it doesn't mean others who can are wrong.
Now let me explain you why it is important. People trust their money with other people whom they think can execute, build value and make more money. In other words they trust them to be successful.
You and I know its no joke to raise that kind of money.
>>He also influenced the lives of countless people by being creative rather than by selling off their private details to the highest bidder. I really like that top voted comment, instead of gushing admiration for a pile of virtual money it causes you to reflect and think.
Now this comment shows some element of envy and jealousy. Because discrediting some one's work by calling them evil. And justifying your own failure as made look success because you are not that so called evil won't work.
Where have we seen this before. Calling profit making corporations as evil, rich people as evil, movie stars as evil, bankers as evil... etc..
May be you don't have the same goals as he does, that is ok. But that in itself doesn't mean your goals are divine and his goals are satanic.
At most it means, his goals lead to better profits than yours. And there is nothing wrong in that.
Dude, you're the one describing things as "evil", "evil", and "satanic." The single worst thing jacquesm had to say about Facebook is that it makes money by getting people to give it information and then selling it, which is a fact.
Respond to what people actually say, not what you read into their remarks.
Dude, the only thing you guys are constantly doing is to find reasons to make Facebook look bad and discredit them for their success.
Facebook, has something called as 'Terms and Conditions' of usage like any other piece of software/product on earth. Any piece of software/service/product you are likely to use has clauses that may not fit into what you would like to hear. And people accept those clauses because the net utility of the product is more than what they trade for the clauses.
But these constant rants about why Facebook doesn't deserve the success they have earned is getting boring and is not making sense anymore.
Any piece of software/service/product you are likely to use has clauses that may not fit into what you would like to hear. And people accept those clauses because the net utility of the product is more than what they trade for the clauses.
By the way, this is absolutely not true. The majority of the software I use is licensed with terms that I agree with completely, and does things that I find totally reasonable. You make it sound like behaving counter to users' interests is a prerequisite for creating good software, and that couldn't be further from the truth.

Your comment shows a complete lack of reading comprehension and puts words in my mouth.
My 'failure' is good enough for me, thank you.
You have several items in your pocket that I had a hand in, and you've probably used a piece of software that I wrote at some point in your life.
I don't call profit making corporations evil, I don't call rich people evil, I don't envy Mark Zuckerberg.
