With that said, I think the stock is a bargain today. And still falling. A dark part of me hopes the sharks looking to make a profit without recognition of how Facebook is in really deep shit just lose everything. A lot of glib prediction

That ball is already rolling downhill, and I don’t think it can be stopped. In addition to the perfectly reasonable concerns of a few billion people, there are also some very wealthy and entrenched media interests who only stand to gain by

And we all know that mass migrations and plagues can’t happen today! No really, if anything the technology we have makes both of those things much harder to control. Climate change leads to drought and famine, which leads to political and s

You know what? I, and I’m pretty sure a majority of people, would rather just regulate Facebook to death. You jump through hoops to maintain your privacy, I’ll lobby for change to existing laws. Meanwhile you tell people how they’re just no

Your ISP is a near-monopoly with vast wealth and political connections, and no trust to lose. A VPN is used by a much smaller group of people who will ditch them en masse if any hanky panky comes to light. There is a ton of competition in t

remember one thing though: the phone OS (Android or, less likely, iOS) developers are as much at fault as FB on this one. From that and other comments it seems like this story may not apply to iOS?

I agree, and I’d add that I find learning to be like any other activity, in that practice makes me better at it. I’m also not infrequently surprised by connections to “useless” learned material that only crops up months or years later. As f

Media is definitely taking the chance to try and kick Facebook to death, and often for selfish reasons. That shouldn’t distract us from the very real fact that Facebook is a terrible value proposition for users of their service, untrustwort

Why do people always go right to bestiality whenever someone wants their rights to be respected? Gay people marrying, omg they’re going to marry dogs next! No... they won’t. And they haven’t. I think it’s judt a way to try and instill disgu

Can they post links? People will find a way, if you ban links they’ll obscure them. It’s an army of motivated people with nothing, but free time, vs, you and your mods. I’ve never figured out a lasting solution, sorry.

I used to run some irc channels back in the early 90’s, and they were true free for all’s. We had a lot of ftp’s, a lot of anonymous users, and it was a full time job keeping it clear of child pornography. Let me tell you, it takes somethin

It’s that last possibility that’s horrifying above all others. The backlash either way is going to be terrible, but if these cars are just not up to the task at all, and have driven millions of miles on public roads... people will lose thei

Maybe we just don’t have the tech yet to make it work. At the very least, Uber surely doesn’t. There’s no way the car didn’t see her, but it didn’t react, which means it failed to recognize what it was seeing. This is pretty much the worst
