Businesses gave FB data that matched an email with a valid FB profile, so they stored the data and expose it to you in OFA. That's not shadow profiles, that's exposing the info they collected for your real profile.

If I'm reading the actual paper correctly, they looked at Nielsen data from 2016 and figured out that FB trackers fire for a large percentage of web traffic for both FB users and non-users. Their conclusion is that it's likely FB

Workplace Chat is like Slack and depending on the team, that can be where a lot of the discussion happens. For a couple of my teams I feel like it’s been the worst of both worlds. I still have emails, gotta check my WP posts, but also have

You write on a many-to-many social media website kept up by active content moderation...

Yea, TikTok is playing in a similar place (big creators, lots of passive people) but their algo + video being stickier has led to massive wins. I think it’s late for Twitter, but interesting thought exercise on what could have been if they

My house probably burned, we’ll find out in the morning. Family is safe, got out in time and we have a place to stay, so blessed in that regard. We just moved from the Bay Area last year. This isn’t an area in the wilderness, it’s suburbia.

FB stock went up the day the lawsuit was filed, so the market clearly doesn't think it has much of a chance.

My house (2500 sq ft) has an insurance cost of $300K to rebuild from scratch. You’re saying they’re spending $8M building houses better in China? In most of these places with insane house price to income ratio, it’s the land, not building c

Headline is misleading. In 2018, 50% of voice messages in chats came from Cambodia. That’s way different than “voice traffic” which most people would assume includes calling.

But if you’re using instances someone else is hosting, aren’t you hitting half the author’s objections? - They may be hosted in the US - They may be hosted on AWS - You have no idea if the maintainer of the instance is tracking you

Yea, this time is different. It's just about selling newspapers. Cambridge Analytica was a scandal that boiled down to: FB gave your data to other people without asking you. The EU, state of CA, other states passed privacy laws that co

If the Ghost CEO really knew better about Twitter they’d recognize that this person is flaming for attention, not trying to get their problem resolved, so sending condescending emails is just throwing fuel on the fire.

Instead of gatekeeping off what we each consider a developer to be, let’s relate it back to the article. The problem for bootcamp grads is that at the FAANG level (the companies with money and motivation to train juniors) they only hire jun

The unemployment expansion ended July 31. Yes, it’s relevant, but the article is about this month, not two months ago.

As others have said, graph databases push foreign keys, joins, referential integrity, and migrations to the application layer. Right now the combinations of databases and software just can’t handle that with nearly the sophistication of Pos

I think you just want to argue. Using IG as an example, if you think a completely separate app with a billion monthly active users isn’t doing anything more than FB did at IPO, you’re never going to be convinced. If you think selling the mo

I think there are two parts, one which is resolvable and one which isn't. FB doesn't "do that much more today than in 2012" - completely resolvable. I hear statements like this all the time. FB/Google/Amazon do

Not a great example. FB’s product surface is easily 10x 2012. If you think FB == news feed, go dig into the app. Marketplace didn’t exist in 2012, for example. Also, IG acquisition was in 2012 post-IPO, WhatsApp and Oculus were after that.

From the wiki on their Github [1] and looking at Github contributors, this is a 3 person project (and no Github commits since June 2021). They're clearly not making their own VR headset, they're using something off the shelf (from

I’ve seen plenty of research on this as part of my job. There are plenty of obvious stressors (people seeing your background, audio lag, connection hiccups) but there’s also VC fatigue. At least right now, people find all day VC meetings mo

Buried ten feet deep in the article - they retired E2E tests and introduced "acceptance" tests, which are more efficient E2E tests that they still run on critical code. But I guess "We Renamed Our Eng-to-End Test Suite"

Surprising that the author is writing a tool for managing your servers, so writes a post about how Terraform isn't great at managing your servers... It seems like the root of the problem is that the author wants to use Terraform to man

In HCOL areas of the US, 10% down is becoming more common with private lenders and 5% is even a possibility (or at least was pre-pandemic). Pre-pandemic we had multiple competing banks for a $1MM+ mortgage w/ 10% down.

I think you're misconstruing the parent's point, and actually saying the same thing they are. They're not saying that insurance is an evil scam empire. They're saying it's a simple calculation: if you can't aff

Echoing what everyone else is saying - I have no idea what this does. Maybe I’m not in the target market and I’d jump on it if I were, but real world examples would help. And I don’t mean real world examples like you’ve listed. Those are ju

Feedback on the site - probably should have some kind of way to let companies get off the list. For example, I know Twitter has a big office in Boulder, but they're on the list for a single job posting from two months ago that 404s.
