You're right in what keeps the leadership up at night - figuring out how to keep users glued to Facebook. That however, is also core to their business model, in that without user attention, advertisers wouldn't pay to advertise on

SMS-based 2FA should be avoided as much as possible, since there are many ways to take over a phone number and get a hold of the code. Passwords, while being a huge hassle, is probably going to be the defacto authentication mechanism for si

So now, FB employees all of a sudden have 'ethical concerns' over their job and what they were building. Let's be real - Facebook (the product) has always had the goal of collecting as much data from users as possible, and di

Why would people trust another social network by uploading all of their data which they want to keep private I'm assuming if they took it off FB? I think this is the beginning of the death of social networks, and the rise of messaging

Instagram would've killed it if it didn't get bought by Facebook. The days are gone where you need a social network to keep track of your friends. Messaging apps (Messenger, Whatsapp) are making a comeback (remember when ICQ and A

Rate limits aside, Twitter's APIs are horrendously unreliable. Plenty of timeouts, 500s, and over-capacity errors. Are all these big tech companies spending way too much money on employees and not enough on their actual product, infras

It looks like Instagram is starting to feel the shockwaves of Facebook's issues. Here I was hoping that Instagram would not go down the same path as Facebook, but I guess that was only a matter of time. As a developer building and main

Even without Trump's negative tweets, companies like AMZN are extremely overvalued and the premium is there on the expectation of future hyper growth. With the overall markets falling, investors are now taking a step back and re-evalua

Crypto is far from being a good store of value. I'd argue it's even more volatile than the legacy markets right now. If anything, there'd be a spillover where traders and investors derisk entirely and go into fiat or the trad

There should also be an easier way to let apps that you've connected to with Facebook before know to delete any information they gathered from you from Facebook. Deleting data in Facebook itself isn't enough when there are apps ou

I asked this a while ago, but when you delete something on FB, the data's probably not completely deleted. There's likely data retained in backups (unless they have some way of pruning your data from backups), and it's likely

Not every company is like Intercom where they have enough funding to spend on 'outsourcing undifferentiated heavy lifting'. The only competitive advantage they have is that they are well funded and they have budget for marketing.
