Agreed, riots aren't necessary anymore -- but that's only because you're fast-forwarding by nearly 50 years. The anti-DoMA movement, the bathroom bills and all the other modern wins are but the culmination of a decades-long

Yes, it was from an earlier prototype of FB. But the bigger point is that it was Zuck who was saying that. And it tells you everything you need to his real attitude toward your privacy -- no matter what his "policies" say. As we

Yes, people change. Even Zuck seems to have changed a bit, in recent years. But to get back to the subject of the original subthread: not enough for us to trust him running our national ID structure, thank you very much.

Very unlikely.

In your case, I wouldn't worry about the risks of FB as much as about the fact that you seem to keep going back and forth in your thoughts. You just asked us, a few levels up, to consider the "What-if?" scenario of some futu

Indeed, there's a whole host of reasons why sociopathic / psychopathic traits (such as the ability to lie credibly and manipulate others generally) enable people to ascend to positions of leadership in businesses (and hence, are r

Don't sweat it. Lots of people are eager to hire students with no commercial experience for certain projects (and in facts, say as much in ads -- especially on Craigslist -- even though this is actually blatantly discriminatory). Th

Constructive discourse with rational minds wins and protects. Do you suppose that the LGBT community ultimately won their rights through a patient campaign of engaging their opposition through debate clubs, paid advertisements and letters

I could just as well be hit by a car tomorrow but I don't worry about that. I don't "worry" about getting hit by a car every day, either. But still I always look both ways before crossing a street. Even one-way stree

But there are very few people in the world who make it their business to lie and cheat every day. Actually there are quite a lot of them.

I'd suggest a better question to ask would be: could you ever trust Zuckerberg to honestly tell you what his real policies will be -- as opposed to what he might say they are, in statements to the public -- when the government com

In fact, I would wish Facebook to contract with and take over identity management systems (ie. social security, drivers license) away from local and federal government - not to dictate policy but just to dictate infrastructure. Is it &quo

One very seldom "needs to" pinpoint the location of something in a far-off city before one gets to the general area first. Which is what one used to do when traveling (i.e. at the first gas or train station in the general area, d

So? Whats the issue? That's the point. I work hard to help my kids. Yeah, we all want to help our kids. But they weren't referring the middle (or even upper-middle) classes; but rather to the super-rich. Which have their own s

However, demanding that the President do anything simply isn't reality. It's OK if we differ on whether one should attempt to constructively influence the current administration, or not. But I have to strongly disagree with you

People knee-jerkingly say they "can't imagine" living without modern conveniences -- their cars, TV, Skype, online takeout or grocery delivery -- all the time. Another interpretation is that they've grown complacent, an

Some of these services are roughly interchangeable with competitors; others, not so much. Vimeo, for example, has nowhere near the (truly insane) variety and depth of YT, content-wise (such that it doesn't even try to compete with them

I do lots of road trips to places I've never been, and I can't imagine doing it without Google Map. You've never heard of Bing Maps, or OpenStreetMap? Aside from the fact that before 2005 or so, people used to travel to all

The only proper response to such a hare brained and destructive "policy" like the immigration ban is not to "offer suggestions for changes". But to demand its immediate reversal -- along with a profuse apology and an of

Sadly, you do have a point there. It seems like BuzzFeed wants to do the right thing with its reporting on the new administration -- but it's hard to take them seriously, given all the mindless drivel they also post (much of it, arguab

Actually it says quite a lot -- you just have to read between the lines. And consider certain things that he's said on the campaign trail (for example, his pledge to "do a big number" on Dodd-Frank). Language like "ena

The order was, of course, deliberately vague in its wording. The NYT provides a succinct translation: President Trump on Friday moved to chisel away at the Obama administration’s legacy on financial reform, announcing a series of steps to
