  1. Great video. In the old days, we were only able to read this stuff. With video now, we can see what modern business uniforms actually look like! I used to be surprised that people like Zuckerberg and Jobs, excuse me, that's Mark and Steve, could pay a thousand dollars for a T-shirt. Now I've come to my senses: I see it's the natural replacement for the $5,000 three-piece suit.

  3.  @adityasanthosh702  If you're a centi-billionaire hoping to become a trillionaire, I think the style is the $2,000 T-shirt with one's face firmly fixed in a sneer whenever you utter the phrase "the suits." I've never been to Stanford Junior Univesity, but isn't that what "Mark and Steve" learned there? Along with theft of other people's ideas, that is...

  4.  @adityasanthosh702  I dunno, Aditya. five years ago Zuckerberg was your usual hippy-dippy grad-school coding genius who'd just tripped over his first billion courtesy of Sand Hill Road. His politics were about what you'd expect from your normal average, jeans-and-T-shirt wearing, all-night coder: Kumbayah for immigration reform. Today he's a dominant monopolist with very sharp business elbows and a powerful machine that elected Donald Trump and is working to do it again. Middle-class employees? He relies on a handful of stock-option multi-millionaires as manages and his grunt labor is tens of thousands of underpaid Philippine women. There's no middle-class in that structure: it's wealthy but tractable overseers and peasant labor. His business uniform: same as that worn by another sharp and shady Master of the Universe, the famous invention-thief Steve Jobs. Oh-so-humble, those T-shirts.

  5.  @adityasanthosh702  We've got a real problem with these social media thingies, both oligopolies and media of a sort. I don't know that Google or Facebook have trained anyone to think any set of canned ideas; they haven't. They have changed the world in very serious ways, in the case of the search engines for the good, imho. Anti-trust is all very well, but what happens when one of these behemoths gets n a ship -- a ship that never comes into port except maybe for servicing in Panama once every five years?
