Not questioning that, but it questions the idea of not taking any medications at all. Where do you make the cut?

I am waiting for the moment where those people realize that a lot of food contains salicylates, acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) among them. Just by habit of nature. I lived with a person that had an intolerance (sometimes called "asprin

Ever had a close look at it? It is pretty much a mess tied together with duct tape. I've been sifting through it for a month and finally decided that you cannot use it to build a product on top of that.

He addresses accountability further down in the text.

by Argorak 13y ago
To be fair, he explicitly asks for being held accountable on those grounds. That, you usually don't do if you are just talking about your "best black friends".

Facebook did create the ecosystem and the platform for these games, so "Facebook games" is a thing, one way or the other. It is also silly not to acknowledge that effect.

by Argorak 13y ago
Yes, people _are_ irrational, especially the gaming community, that is largely driven by emotions. Also, Facebook gaming is seen as a huge danger for many "core gamers", so it isn't just anyone buying their stuff.

Selling is success for the businessman, not necessarily for the customer. There is no point in telling people that they should be happy about that.

You are oversimplifying things as well. On the "cash on the table" side of things you are right: people put cash on the table and got the goods. On the other hand, Kickstarter is a platform where people invest in future of some ge

That statement is neither addressing the issue (some people have deeply held problems with _the person of the new CTO_) nor giving any insight on whether that was even considered this kind of reaction before choosing. It does in no way atte

FWIW: "What does this take and what does it return?" is rarely a question that comes up in Ruby for me. In most codebases, thats a pretty easy question. For others, Clojure wouldn't help at knowing whats going on ;).

Mozilla is a non-profit that takes moral stances. So their CEO has to embody those values as well.

There is a difference between a statement someone got asked for or an immediate statement (even a short one like: "I acknowledge that some people in the developer community have issues with this decision because of my donation to prop8

It would have been nice if he also addressed that issue in this message instead of a staff meeting. I mean, like, there is literally a world watching (geographically, not necessarily when it comes to population).

by Argorak 13y ago
Which is true - as long as he is not the individual running the show. So "how much will this influence your role as CEO, as the prime manager of all those people?" is a valid question he has to answer to - and well.

It doesn't cover that this potentially breaks the Secrecy of Correspondence, which is a fundamental law in some countries, including Switzerland. IANAL, and certainly not a Swiss one, but in Germany, there is a similar project (EPostBr

I once saw Leslie Lamport speaking at my university about TLA+. He recently had switched to Microsoft research. He started his talk with a short rant on how formal proof of APIs is futile and a worthless task. Now, I don't know if he k

You might be closer to my point that you imagine, I just wanted to say that his role was not only that of a risk taker, but also that of a valuable employee.

Sure, but the statement this article was written as a reply to was hinting that the chef did "unimportant" work and should not have his share of luck as everyone else. So explaining the impact makes sense.

I don't think so. If it stopped there, he would only be a lucky gambler.

I was on the wroc_love.rb conference this weekend and either people were playing 2048 on their notebooks or hacking on it - with other board layouts, other numbers or similar mods. Such fun. Very success.

Sure, but we are still talking about Zuckerberg trying to make a moral argument about vast personal data collection.

No, that would be on the person giving them the data _and_ on Facebooks side to check. Facebook never got permission, because the agent giving them the data is not allowed to give permission. They also cannot make a reasonable assumption th

That is true, but moral standpoints are not black/white and Facebooks moral standpoint in the whole privacy debate isn't quite the strongest. Facebook will basically take any interaction with them as a "yes". Also, Faceb

Sure. I also see a difference between a company asking everyone for that data in a clear fashion and one that tries get hold of every scrap of data from its users, even if it has to do with non-users (e.g. by collecting their address books)
