    Srinivasan, a former partner at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and former chief technology officer of Coinbase, who is allegedly based in Singapore, conducted the Q&A through a free Zoom account with a 40-minute time limit — Srinivasan left seconds before the timer hit zero.

    oh that’s fucking embarrassing

    e: wait, people paid to attend this shit and they couldn’t allocate the price of even one ticket to pay for zoom? that’s worse

    the same setting as his four-hour podcast calling for “tech Zionism”

    such edge much oof.

    E: slightly annoyed at that site for making scrolling with the keyboard impossible because the picture thing takes the focus so when one shows up the keyboard commands flips the pictures instead of scrolling.
