No, it's obviously not like that.

even if that WERE what he said, it would still be an incorrect and outsized response based in racial animus

absolutely not, especially in the bay – people of color are way more likely to be homeless

Yup. I followed his terrible behavior since his 2021 crashout, when he caused a third of his employees to leave his company, and he's only gotten louder and worse since. Looking back further, I can't see him actually supporting anything pro-social.

Disgusting. I want to say that DHH has fallen so far, but I don't actually see any evidence that he wasn't this hateful inside his heart years ago.

Life360 increases their marketing budget when they have a profitable way to sell user data so they can get the devices into the hands of more target users.

Suppose the person you want to stalk has bought a Tile that they use for themselves, not knowing that these devices are insecure. If you scan for that device, you can follow that person without even having to plant a device on them. You don't have to hack their Tile.
