Good! Morale should be in the shitter there. You work for an evil company with horrible intentions and repeated privacy issues. What do you expect? Nov 29, 2011: Facebook Settles FTC Charges That It Deceived Consumers By Failing To Keep Pri

wow, what is going on with this website? Takes a few seconds to load and then it puts safari into a chokehold. I had to tap out and could only see the first row of items.

I wasn’t aware of that, good point. I’m sure either way the “shareholder value” gimmick is still a viable excuse for FB making these kinds of decisions.

I think the real reason FB went public even though zuck “didn’t really want to” is so they could hide behind shareholder value as their excuse for everything. Public companies don’t go public to innovate, they go public to make everyone mon

Scott Galloway on the Recode podcast made a good point that the whole “search” was a scam to get tax breaks. Bezos knew where he wanted the second (and third) HQ as they are both within 7 miles of his different homes. I don’t know the truth

Hard to take anything like this seriously with Facebook's logo on there.

If you work at Google and you really, truly believe that Google's overall work is good, good for you! I suppose I have more self respect to say that if a company is going to push me far enough to walk out, I probably need to move on in

a "walk out"... one in which people are so darn angry they walk out of work.. and then walk right back in and keep doing their job. I wish more people would quit these mega-corps over stuff like this. "Google engineers outrag

Yes, the CEO was an ex-facebook d-bag. Playing fast and loose with user privacy is the name of the game in "growth hacking".

The irony about all of this is that you can live a perfectly normal life without Amazon, Facebook or Google these days. We sat around and watched in fascination and then horror as these companies became the "BAADD" companies they

Yes, it would, but our government agencies and officials are paid by Equifax to NOT draft and strictly enforce regulations to prevent this.

I think the web is still so new that people will really struggle to understand a decentralized web. Even 20 years on and .com still reigns supreme as the best TLD around. I'm in tech and I'm interested in a decentralized web but I

If you understand who Richard "Dirty Dick" Sadler is, the story makes a lot more sense: Sackler joined Purdue Pharma in 1971, as assistant to the president.[8] He became head of R&D and head of marketing before becoming presid

Is lying to a room full of liars still a lie? No one gives a shit about this stuff. If anyone cared about being honest we wouldn't allow companies like Facebook to lobby congress. But it's ok, they've only spent around $7 mil

Honest question, what's the appeal of working at a place like Facebook these days? It seems like a pretty well known fact that they're a horrible company in terms of their "product" (advertising and data mining). Is it m

Let me ask you this... what would you do if your employer fired you right now? Would you be homeless? What's really at stake here? You will NEVER have the time to put towards the work you love if you spend the majority of your time doi

I recently watched the documentary The Patent Scam with the XPlane guy... it was disturbing to say the least. My question is this... With "method" patents being an absolute joke, what would stop me from patenting, "A method o

Btw I have the same skill set as you but I sell myself as a consultant that just happens to code. A good client wants to see you as an asset that can solve problems not a coder that presumably needs to be managed.

Charge your next client $100/hour then. What is the worst thing that could happen? They say no? Honestly if they say no you probably need to focus more on your pitch. Learn to sell and hourly rates are not your concern. I would learn t

I'm not hostile, I just don't see the point in this. Funny enough, I googled "The Orange Juice Test" and found this explanation that makes a ton of sense: ---------------------- Even though this rule of thumb is very sim

I can't tell you the # of agencies and consultants I've had to work with that said all the right things and turned out to be steaming piles of hot garbage when it came to delivering the work.

My point is more about how do you equate the level of difficulty of 700 glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice to software or anything else? At what point are you just a lying? I've been consulting for 20 years and most clients I com
