Sounds like Facebook is trying hard to be allowed to operate in China one day. Imagine all those ads they can sell then

Apple and Google still have the Facebook app in their respective stores. Why not hold everyone to the same standards? Or are there differences I'm not seeing at a high level? Maybe sophistication/existence of content moderation is

Yes, Facebook is likely violating trademarks. Its quite disgusting to see a $500 billion dollar company fighting a non profit with such ugly tactics.

Wonder if they can be sued for trademark infringement over this?

Documenting and justifying are very different things. Seems like the problem is social media.

It was more about documenting what happened a few days ago and what intentions the rioters had. That context is lacking and should have been provided by Twitter right away when making it "trending".

Microsoft suicided its extremly popular Messenger and Facebook's took its place, then WhatsApp took over.... things come and go. Now WhatsApp is on a similar suicide mission.

That's what is called the echo chamber... slowly sliding into it with Facebook's engineering help. What it leads to, we were able to witness yesterday.

Didn't Facebook legally state they will NOT do this when acquiring WhatsApp- to me it sounds as this can be prohibited and daily fines with subsequent breakup should be in order. Sometimes I wish I had studied law...

I switched to it about a year ago to get rid of Google Analytics. Quite happy with the decision.

This is pure speculation. Let me counter with the equivivalent counter argument: More likely that domain holders were given time (about 12 months) to validate their eligibility.

Why can this be patented? I mean I also had this idea long ago and it's not anywhere novel.

Adding a theory here... Jack Ma is the one buying all the Bitcoin.

Might be a possibility to disrupt the ad business. FB and Google might be paid tons of money for providing little value or maybe even toxic value.

Recent news shows that Solarwinds might have directly employed potential hackers and most companies weren't aware of them nor that their software is partially developed in Eastern Europe, not the US.

If you don't want to be a shitty company, don't build your business on top of a business model that harms people and society.

by kerng 6y ago
This metric for judging if software is trusted or not seems backwards. Solarwinds was (probably still is) quite popular for instance.

Breached is a legal term... they were compromised but probably didnt suffer a breach. The MSRC blog post is exactly there to cover those legal grounds I guess.

Its always during that time proabably because school and universities have off - so many younger people can attend and government folks won't. Lol It's one of the best conferences - already curious how this year will be!

I doubt that advise is outdated, I'm not sure it was ever "in" for anyone who doesnt have a sales background (typical programmer). Why would I even bother giving them a number if they dont do it first? My way of saying, dont

Exactly! That's why they should tell you what the expected compensation is upfront. Recruiters might push more junior people more easily as well.

I dont think this has anything to do with worth - its just a good advice. There is no objective measure and you likely underestimate what you are "worth" to some companies. As a consultant it might be different because roles are d

Never give a recruiter a number - there is 0 value you get out of it and it gives the company you interview for the power and you'll leave money on the table. Let them tell you. I always just say stuff like "I assume that the comp

Yeah, all that is needed is to send a quick email to a company, then publish. There are no standards for how long one has to wait. I imagine this is quite common behavior with journalist when they want "breaking news"
