05:30Dr. Diego Emiliano Castaneda@silent https://fb.quip.com/OCCKABRUT1Zr take a look when you can. sorry to deliver this at last minute. nothing should be surprising. the second question (data framework) kind of sucks. ok, going to get a few hours. brutal
09:24████This is the first time has talked about this in these meetings
09:41████I think that if we showed up in bandages or maybe a cast we could convince that we expended enough time and energy in creating the document
09:41Dr. Diego Emiliano CastanedaI know. what a sourpuss
09:42████you realize that the DM reachability experiment results is literally the only thing that he could think of to knock what we have, and that's not even our work. It's literally not something we were responsible for
09:43Dr. Diego Emiliano CastanedaI know. man.
09:43████Got me there h! I didn't fully incorporate a completely different group of people's work into this document we worked on all weekend.
09:43████😄
09:47Dr. Diego Emiliano Castanedadude. I felt dressed down.
09:47████It's always like this
09:53████"Include nothing interesting in the slide".
09:53████This is probably the most boring thing I have ever worked on. ever
09:59Dr. Diego Emiliano Castanedadude.
09:59████Did you catch snapping at ☑ for not knowing/acknowledging that the decision to default teens to private has already been made? I have had to be a jerk about continually going back to what decisions are we actually making here? It's been impossible to get her to that point
10:00Dr. Diego Emiliano Castanedayikes. lets catch up in a bit. I have a candidate interview.
10:46Dr. Diego Emiliano Castanedayou got a minute?
10:46████yup
13:13Dr. Diego Emiliano Castanedawas just thinking out loud. sorry, didn't mean to give you (if I did) a data ask. I've got a candidate interview but can chat later if you want.
14:13Dr. Diego Emiliano Castanedasorry you have to deal with this man. you are trooper.
14:14████...
brb one sec
14:20████Yeah I don't really know how to describe working on these projects with except that it royally sucks and involves almost nothing I enjoy. Nothing ever feels done. she changes her mind a million times and everything is dependent on what some product bro randomly thinks of in a meeting or takes 5 seconds to type in an email. I have no time to think about anything. It's pretty much the opposite of what this job is supposed to be
14:27Dr. Diego Emiliano Castanedadude.. well, I'll step up for you whenever you need. I think we did a lot of due diligence on this one. Maybe I could have presented the quote from users describing value sooner in the presentation but they arent new teens! its hard to say that they would say the same thing without knowing about the user journey. maybe I'll try and reach out to (UXR on growth) to understand that. Hitomi's note (case for defaults) made the case for safety. https://fb.workplace.com/notes past-privacy-research-at-ig-and-fb-the-evidence- supporting-smart-defaults/331245711109954/.
14:29Dr. Diego Emiliano Castanedathough there is this "users were more likely to control content at the content level. In fact, most never actually went into the settings menu very few could accurately or confidently" so pretty much worse case scenario. so we need a better entry point or other contextual education. ISnt safety the whole point of this team?
14:30████The point of this team is to prevent another Atlantic article about how shitty instagram is
14:31Dr. Diego Emiliano Castanedatotally. so fucking shit.. lets man up and default people. tell them in rosy language and spend 2 million dollars on an ad campaign "we care about your kids" "we care about you.. that whjy toady we are launching the...
14:31████exactly
14:32Dr. Diego Emiliano Castanedathey should put us in charge
15:30████I cannot wait to one day create a doomed start up and make reckless decisions that destroy my company
15:43Dr. Diego Emiliano Castanedalets do it. but shit just got even more real. a friend of mine just called me. his moms is in hospital with pneumonia. went on a trip last weekend (dumb) and is paying for it.
15:43████damn
16:56████Still can't find toilet paper in neighborhood. God people are assholes
16:57Dr. Diego Emiliano CastanedaOh fuck.
16:57████I was in an uber earlier and I saw a crowd of at least 150 people in line at a grocery store. wtf
16:58Dr. Diego Emiliano CastanedaDamn.
16:58Dr. Diego Emiliano CastanedaLock down is coming
