The --public broadcast messages are interesting. Is a Twitter-style service part of the plans?

I'm right there with you. Unfollowed everyone, set my profile to say "I'm out." and told people to send me an iMessage if they want to chat. I'm still composing meaningless tweets in my mind. Hopefully another few w

True that. More of an annoyance then with my phone lighting up with an SMS notification that I didn't need. Reminded me to disable SMS 2FA and stick with the authenticator app.

I had SMS as my backup and in testing this morning, FB sends the SMS by default, even before you either tap the key or say you want to use another method (like SMS). That's a big flaw to me. It should only send the SMS if I specificall

I started in communications/marketing and fell into the position. We have associate product managers at my company, although I walked straight into the full role. It was a few years before I felt comfortable. Key skills? I would say an

Just hitting beta now, for Visionary supporters. Looks like it runs on your local machine and sits between client and server to handle encrypt/decrypt duties.

"Drivers" = "the car itself" in the next few years. A self-driving car is only as good as the data it has to make the decisions.

But not under Obama or (potentially Hillary)? What about Trump makes them so fearful now where they weren't under the current state of affairs. I'm not saying that a Trump presidency isn't a great way to convince people to ge

I don't think I want a journalism site (Slate.com) running a service to determine what is and isn't "fake" news.

Interesting use case. I suppose you could put photos of yourself, or any other bits of information that you want to be able to say is provable as having been provided by you.

Closest thing I've found is https://twitter.com/BNONews which is run by the original founder of @BreakingNews on Twitter, which was sold and later became the app and NBC service. Curation is what I am after. Breaking N

I continue to be disappointed by headlines like, "Worried About the Privacy of Your Messages? Download Signal" which implies that only some people should be worried about privacy. You'd think that the revelations about the NS

Better to use the "hide all from [source]" under the dropdown on the article card. I see very few articles now, since the vast majority come from similar sources like Buzzfeed, OMG Facts, etc. I save "unfollow" for frien

Except that 4.9% rate is a) an average across the country, and b) not reflective of the true rate of unemployment. ShadowStats suggests the real rate (including those who have given up on finding work) is more like 23%. In certain areas of

I'm so happy to see this at the top of the comments. It gives me hope that more people recognize that a vote for Trump in many cases wasn't a vote for the man, but rather a vote for some amount of hope that someone, somewhere reco
