Before I left I used a tool that would delete all of my posts and content and stuff like that. Cleaned up the profile as best I could. The type of data they had was more about who they thought I knew, how desperately single I am stuff like

I deleted my account there 10 years ago, about a year ago I needed an account to join a memorial group for someone. Facebook somehow knew that the email address I used to sign up with, which was new, was related to my old email address and

Practically speaking all you should be worried about is your password being discovered within a stolen password hash table. Nobody processing a whole table is going to spend that much time on your password specifically. If the government wa

I suppose this is a good place to ask this question. How much truth is there to the fairly famous XKCD comic "correct horse battery staple" in this scenario. Isn't it possible that random word combinations, if they were commo

A large part of that IP is the massive amount of work that went into it right before its downfall. It has legs, just too much debt and as you said the debt is gone. I'd let it run for a little while. If I were to change it again, or ev

This is an argument against the authoritarian character of the Apple App Store and by extension it's operating system that doesn't allow you to use anything else. Does anybody actually like having a walled off heavily regulated us

It's in part because that is what Google has done in the past. They give you unlimited space to store your photos, your email, and your data, why wouldn't you expect to be able to store video. Video has become politicised because

Software development is the perfect example of a role where the only thing that matters, at all, is the quality of the output. When I think about supposed discrimination in tech, I think back to every class I ever took that related to compu

Facebook unapologetically breezed through every privacy scandal I can even imagine. It will be remembered as a prolific piece of Pop culture, just by virtue that few enough people stopped using it.

That's the goal. It used to be that JavaScript and web development was very difficult because the languages were lacking. Today the languages aren't lacking but there's still a psychosis that won't go away. React was bui

So it's an issue of the sovereignty of the islands then? The argument I'm hearing is that due to the UK leaning in favour of sovereignty, that it can no longer continue to, by default, control the islands? So allow the islands to

It's a strange notion that politics in a company are a good thing. Rewarding people for attacking the character of those above them is a race to the bottom. In this case it seems it was a co founder and not at all the situation you des

It's unfortunately in part because Google holds a monopoly on a couple of services. Geolocation as an example doesn't work in Chromium all of the time. It falls at the whim of Google. In terms of services and functionality Chrome

It looks like it just goes low-poly, all triangles as is pretty normal. Then maybe links some of the triangles together, ultimately telling you how many paper triangles how many different sizes to make.

Well tra la la. Excuse me, Facebook revenues were not that high at a 1m valuation. Nobody would sell something that earns $32B/yr for 1m, I'm dubious that it earns that much money and I'm curious about why, if so, that is.

It depends what you've signed, and what what you've signed says. All good contracts describe what happens in the worst case scenario and backwards from there. If it isn't one of those contracts it depends on the court, if it

Maintainable and readable is I would say even more important than whether it works or not. If something works and is not readable it can cause more problems than it solves. Because it'll wind up in use somewhere.
