My bad, was a police car with flashing lights and a police officer on top of the dorm.

The yellow VW Bug hack I remember was a bunch of us in 7th grade picking up and moving the principal's bug from his parking spot to the middle of the courtyard in our school. No planning on that one, just started with guys talking about how they bet they could pick up one end of the car by themselves and then we all rushed the car and lifted it up. 1970s was weird.

The original use of 'hackers' was for the MIT students who pulled off elaborate practical jokes or 'hacks'.

The one where a school principal's yellow VW Bug was found one morning on top of the main dome at MIT is a good example of such a hack. Turns out they'd made an elaborate model of the car up there and installed it overnight.

Someone get Jason on the line.

How many years has Zuck trained his people to respond to him in a positive fashion and not to counterdict any of his ideas?

Of course the AI flattering systems would seem like a perfect replacement for his labor co– I mean, workers; it tells him what he wants to hear.
