Actually you should boast about it, those guys are limited enough to prefer uneducated hires because they cannot appreciate the damage done by lack of proper education.
Destroying a society, addicting people/kids, violating privacy, generating inequality consequences -- interesting large scale problems indeed -- FB is working on CAUSING them. REALLY smart people wouldn't do this.
But then, who cares if you make big money. For allowing this the US deserves everything it gets.
Proper education no longer exists. It has been replaced by vocational training. And FANG dropping college education altogether suggests that even that will go away.
AI will obviate the need for human intellect altogether -- if machines and algorithms will do all the "thinking", why bother?
If you want to know how Trump got elected, why the US is in steep decline, ruled by corporate monopolies and oligarchs and on the verge of tyranny, look no further.
Facebook is only partially to blame. The real responsibility is of the society as a whole: the atomization and loneliness of the society which FB exploited; the public and government that permitted digital corporations to do more or less what they want, and the dismantling of all the protections that existed from concentration of power in monopolies and oligopolies.
It's really disturbing how people complain about what these companies are doing -- what did they expect would happen given the above?
It's the conflation of education with job training that is pushing America down the drain and Trump is only one consequence of it.
The purpose of education is not to prepare for jobs, but to produce knowledgeable, reasoning, civilized, compassionate human beings capable of critical, independent thinking, which is what America most needs, not ignorant coders who can be manipulated to blindly program everything in sight, totally unaware of the inhuman, oppressive and exploitative implications.

Even if it were true, how does he know that's intimidation and not realization that the criticism of Israel is upside down and backwards?
The territories are land assigned to Israel by the UN which were grabbed by Jordan -- there never was a country/nation called Palestine. Israel recovered them in a defensive war. It's prefectly legal and "occupation" is an anti-semite distortion by those who want Jews neither in their countries, nor in their own.
Some ignorant self-hating Jews, conveniently moralize from afar, exposing their cluelesness of history to pretend that they're "good jews", unlike Israelis who are fighting another Holocaust.
No, correctness is not pedantry, except for the ignorant. The database facts are axioms and the facts in query results are theorems -- logical inferences from the axioms.
If you don't understand that you have no clue what a relational database is and what a RDBMS does. But hey, you're in the majority.
Any linking of number of columns to normalization is pure nonsense. The only accurate thing that can be said is that if you split a relation into multiple projections, by definition each will have less attributes than the original relation. But this is a triviality and it says nothing about the number of columns in the projected relations.
