So by wearing a hacker t-shirt he is a "grade A" loser, but by reading and posting on Hacker News you are not? Your line seems arbitrary.

I don't think he is a loser because of a t-shirt, but working for facebook in the anti porn division seems like an epic fail for someone that likes to hack hw or sw. Yet, the perception of what you do often changes when you dig a little deaper.

I work for the army. I work for the army anizing violent crime. I work for the army building tools to help people analize violent crime. I work for the army building tools to help people analize violent crimes commited by people in the army.

I am a consultant...

Why is that a fail? Porn doesn't go on Facebook, and it could be quite cool to build some epic nudity detection system. It's not an evil job!
