The optimist in me says these changes have been a long time coming. The skeptic in me says FB is doing this to avoid being regulated. Anybody with more insight care to comment?

I built apps on FB back in 2011-2012 and was gobsmacked at how much data we got about the friends of our users. I also knew of several shady people building apps. Because I saw how much data we got without consent, I realized other shady p

Being lauded on HN has zero impact on regulation. What amazes me is that there's so little regard for privacy amongst legislators (and by extension their constituents, I suppose) that these behemoth companies have escaped so far.

I've said it before, but it's shocking that Facebook has escaped regulation thus far. They have 1,860,000,000 monthly active users. What other business has this many customers (or "product") AND can profoundly impact i

Haven’t seen anything negative so far. It’s been a couple months now and super snappy. But perf with Heroku was so unpredictable that Aurora would have to be terrible for us to consider going back.

We switched off Heroku to AWS Aurora once Aurora came out with a production-ready Postgres offering. We haven’t looked back. On Heroku we used to run up against their CPU burstability limits and would get throttled. Simple Queries for an in

The FM web client loads messages faster, but is slower to use in my experience. I’d rather pay a one-time loading cost up front for an app experience that feels native-ish and snappy like Gmail vs having the app feel laggy when I do mainlin

Our democratically elected legislators make and change the rules. It's not clear to me why they should preserve the value of an asset for a few people just because the asset might go down . Especially if there's a high cost to p
