03:12 schestowitz; [03:27] <Source> He had a drug problem and went to South America and didn't come back
03:12 schestowitz; [03:27] <schestowitz> because South American is known to be solving drug problems :-D
03:12 schestowitz; [03:27] <schestowitz> *America

03:12 schestowitz; [03:31] <schestowitz> I linked to this yesterday
03:12 schestowitz; [03:31] <Source> I've been trying to have them look into Nat Friedman but... No response[03:32] <schestowitz> misogyny https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/corporate-news/microsoft-shareholders-back-proposal-seeking-report-on-harassment/88020947 see bill gates and Microsoft CEO for examples http://techrights.org/2020/07/30/microsoft-gender-equality/

03:12 schestowitz; [03:33] <schestowitz> "don't tell y wife anything.."
03:12 schestowitz; [03:37] <Source> I imagine Nat is going to focus more on stripe
03:12 schestowitz; [03:39] <schestowitz> do you know what happened to him at github?
03:12 schestowitz; [03:40] <schestowitz> I cannot get it verified

03:12 schestowitz; [03:42] <schestowitz> if you have inside contacts, more solid things than rumours would help
03:12 schestowitz; [03:43] <Source> Yeah I'm not really
03:12 schestowitz; [03:43] <Source> A lot of those people are people I don't want to get in trouble
03:12 schestowitz; [03:43] <Source> But they don't give me any inside information

03:13 schestowitz; [03:53] <schestowitz> the police gave me 2900 pages of report on arrest at bill gates' home
03:13 schestowitz; [03:53] <schestowitz> apparently ALLLLL the media could not do this

14:13 schestowitz; First of all, thank you for the acknowledgement; its not for nothing and actually made my day.
14:13 schestowitz; Secondly, Id much rather give you 1,500 words in a new article rather than wasting both our times revising a 6 year old article or arguing ad nauseam about whether youre biased in favor of Microsoft. Thoughts?

14:19 schestowitz; , thanks. This is a lot to digest. I'm going to need to spend more time reading it, and exploring some of the links you've referenced.
14:19 schestowitz; Since you raise the security issue, have you read this story? I'd be interested in hearing how this squares with your perception of GeekWire's coverage of the company.
