That assumes that facebook.com/feed is the only interaction you have with facebook. Even if you delete your account they create an unregistered account to monitor your existence on the internet. Currently they act more like credit agen

Isn't it cheaper to mine resources in space for space travel then to eject them from earths orbit. If we found an astroid that had water that'd be worth it to bring it to a space dock or to any habitat that doesn't have water

Love this. Most North American cities are built around cars, it'll take a lot to change this. But it won't happen by the free market alone, cities need to hire good urban planners and user experience designers to build these citie

We gotta make consequences matter again. No one or no philosophy behind this have been punished. Small government is still a valid approach because the message of 600M is >> $80/ day doesn't get traction.

I don't get why we are still using Integers to do phone calls. We could solve this with either a little bit of cooperation with Google + Apple or government stepping in

RSS has a lot of benefits for accessibility that we don't talk about enough. I often wish RSS was still a thing so I can diff pages when they update. The content is what matters not the chrome.

I’d bet they have data that prove people aren’t doing their job as well. Either the taking longer to do a task, having less team cohesion (aka I’m willing to work hard so my coworker doesn’t have to do it all themselves) or more leaks becau

It's hilarious how many people are religious about WFH. Like arguing you must not have a social life or you are extraverted if you need to be in the office.... Some people like the office some don't. At the end of the day if peopl

It's funny how people who like remote worker expect everyone to commit to their lifestyle, like it's a religion. Some people will work better in the office others will work better at home. Not everyone is the same ... why haven&#x

Only 72 hours a week, that's adorable ... When the iPhone first released at Apple I was working 100ish hours a week ... In all seriousness, I was in my 20s, Apple was the dream job, and I was foolish. When you work those kind of hours

This is a competitive advantage for companies who can do this better than others. Different technology stacks and different development mentalities make this easier or harder. If it were easier, than smaller "startups" wouldn&#x27

It's not about the information you give, it's all those friends and family who signed up for it and uploaded their address book... They now have your phone number and email probably your date of birth, and even some photos of you.

It'll be a huge problem if they try that the first time they have a really bad quarter and stop their own trading. But I could see them trying if we have a "business favorable" FTC.

If this ever succeeded, then you'll have crazier and crazier apps test the boundaries of platforms and sue for losing their fictitious valuation. Parler lost because it was poorly written, it's hard to keep trust when all your dat

Companies like Amazon have no incentives to police gaming of reviews. A purchased item is money to them, regardless of if the purchase was a sponsored purchase. It's why fake products have equal or more reviews than popular products fo

There's so many things that need to be done around real time communication ... they aren't done there. Unless they are planning on making something completely different, don't get distracted.
