"But most importantly we're making the world a better place. Through constructing elegant hierarchies for maximum code reuse and extensibility." [1] Which one is the parody? Sometimes it's hard to tell. [1] http:&#x2F

You can, but it's not obvious that it's an option. I'd be willing to bet that the signup UI was deliberately designed to make it look like a phone number is required.

Yeah, I just ran into something similar a few days ago. Every once in a while I used to go through all my trading cards and bulk sell all my duplicates for a few cents each, but apparently now they require you to use some combination of SM

This has got to be one of the best analogies I've seen in a while. Thank you for that!

Yeah, I've always been slightly uncomfortable with the level of tracking in Steam as well. Mostly the notifications to friends when I start and stop playing a game, but the total hours count as well. I guess I take partial solace in t

I seriously miss gChat/Talk. It was an app that did one thing and did it well, with no other BS. It served the user, not the company. And of course we can't have that, now can we?

Well, I just spent the the past hour or so installing Firefox, setting it up with my preferences/imported bookmarks/extensions, and uninstalling Chrome. In the grand scheme of things, I know it probably won't make a differenc

Because Facebook actively encourages people to post more than what is necessary, or even a good idea. It's to Facebook's advantage that most people don't understand the depth of data being collected or the possible consequen

I'm not really a fan of removing comments sections entirely - proper moderation is possible, it just takes more time and manpower than most sites are willing to commit. I think you're being extremely disingenuous here though. Ha

What's interesting to me is that a lot of times these things are somewhat open for interpretation depending on your definition of a monopoly, where the line is drawn between good business decisions and anti-competitive behavior, etc.

There's definitely a cutthroat competition going on between Facebook and Snapchat, but even more generally I think it's that any app which is primarily designed for communication will eventually feel pressure from their users to e

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. As a side note, I wanted to check if that was really the case so I just created a new twitter account to test with, and even with the "Tailor Twitter based on my recent website visits" opt

Ok, ignoring all the other Trump stuff in the post for the moment, I'm confused about something. At the end, he claims to be shadowbanned on Twitter, yet a quick check of his twitter account shows his last tweet was 4 hours ago, and h

You're right, society has changed quite a bit. The other possibility that you seem to implicitly dismiss is that the original reasoning is understood perfectly well, has been debated to death, and has been found to no longer align with

I would be very interested to know this too, but of course it's all technically against the ToS[1] and so I doubt Snapchat will ever even acknowledge it, much less give numbers on it. Don't want to offend those delicate advertise

> The implication here is that somehow Trump conned people into voting for him. The reality is that there are actual, real people who believe in some of the policies he's proposing. Yeah, that sounds about right. I would be extre

This is exactly how I have been feeling for the past few days, but I've been struggling to put it all into words, so thank you for sharing this. The way that Trump is able to treat basic facts with such contempt and yet still get milli

Thank goodness that the publishers are finally starting to catch on. Outbrain, Taboola, and their ilk have always been utter trash and the sooner they die the better off we'll all be.

Based on all the talk I've read about this show, I feel like I should love it, but watching the first episode "The National Anthem" so turned me off that I put it down and never gathered up the will to give it another shot. F

Yeah, that line really stood out to me too. Google is attempting to shift away from being a search tool which funnels users to a destination site, and instead become the destination itself, where sites submit their content in search of use

Only on a superficial level. How often do you really find yourself looking up your friends' five year old Facebook posts? On Twitter, the UI actively fights back even when you want to look at old tweets. Anything that drops off of t

Seriously, is anyone surprised by this? This was obviously the #1 reason why autoplaying videos were introduced in the first place. Amazing that it took two years for the advertisers to figure it out and start getting angry.

I still don't see how this works out as an advantage for the little guy. At best, for every ad the new startup buys, the big incumbent buys two and you're back to more or less where you started. Worst case, the big incumbents an

Yeah, but you still have to pay for the meal. Once Google starts charging you a flat fee for every search and you can optionally choose to view an ad where the revenue goes directly to a customer support employee (customer support at Googl
