It’s weirdly hard to steal Mark Zuckerberg’s trash

I agree in the abstract that the story is pretty predictable, but some of the details are a bit unexpected and worth learning, and you don't really know that this kind of security stuff is real until you see it for yourself.

Specific things that I thought were interesting:

- Trash on the street is legally considered abandoned and fair game for anyone to take.

- Zuckerberg's house managed to get its entrance blurred out on Street View.

Thank you. Half way through and my patience was thinning. It was like an 8 year old trying to tell a story.

That's basically the Outline in general. It's a boutique blog with animated decorators, funky colors, and a budget.

>This is a fluffy story with no content

There's plenty of content here, the most important part being the discrepenancy in privacy that Zuckerberg affords for himself, while he readily prmotes open transparency as the business model of his company, funnily illustrated in an attempt to steal Mark's trash.

A good idea for the disparaging commenters in this thread would be to pay attention to the moral of the story. Why do so many people trust a guy with their most private data who bulldozers the neighbouring houses just to keep the public out?

I'm fairly certain it is. Billionaires and their families are at a high risk of being kidnapped and ransomed. Then there are stalkers, and obsessives who might try to enter your home and endanger you and your family.

I imagine as CEO of Facebook he probably receives a lot of hate mail and possibly threats. Better safe than sorry.

Zuckerberg is also quite a private person (as you can probably tell from him buying up surrounding homes to distance himself from the neighbours) so scaring off journalists and paparazzi is probably an intended effect of his security detail.

Well, if some rando on the internet is going to dig through your trash, and write a blog post about it, than maybe you are famous enough to justify more paranoid security.

Well, they have the apparatus of the entire state protecting them, so the guys directly on the payroll are mostly just for show.
