I frankly don't understand all this fuss about it. It was a well known issue. Even I knew that, and I don't tend to follow such news. Now it's Trump's fault. Or the other conspiracies. Incredible how little accountabil

I somehow understand your comment. Logically you are right. Having the first and last word is always the easiest way. I mean, the easiest way to get what you want for a limited amount of time, until all hell breaks loose. I hear a lot of fr

Just checked. Also Mac OSX has Sunset to Sunrise based on location.

An Internet company, one of the top 3 in the world, that needs to feel threatened that customers are going to rant on Twitter or other internet websites. Just, wow.

Uh maybe you are right. It's been a long time since I've stopped using ebay. However, I am quite sure I have seen elsewhere this feature. It's not bad. It allows to have more recent opinions about the item.

I think they could do like ebay does: reviews in the last 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, ...etc. Or a similar mechanism. Sometimes I am not interested to old reviews, esp. technical books, as they become very quickly outdated. Deleting them i

I am finally working again on an idea I have about pre-screening for software engineering interviews.

There is also deezer.com. I don't know if the amount of tracks is the same, however, the service is fantastic. The app is super easy to use, and the Flow they provide (a sort of randomized playlist based on your likes) is great.

Read my comment above as an answer to yours. Sorry, but I don't like this sort of nonfictional books. They kind of miss the point, in my opinion.

The concept of prison the way we intend it is relatively new (let's say a couple of hundred years). So I am not surprised to see that there are still some references to slavery here and there, because that was actually the punishment b

If your comment is meant to be sarcastic, then I am failing to see it... Could you explain what you mean by enslaving as prisoner? So you would let a rapist free or what?

It's almost never the case. The way welfare works is kind of...buggy. You accept a job, do it for a couple of days, and that's it.

They are using the law for marketing purposes. I think that other websites too are doing the same.

It would be interesting to know the active amount of users per day. I connect to fb once a month, so even a person like me, not using it at all except to see if someone has sent a message or so, is in the stats. However, I can't see ho

It's the same with Aws elasticache. There is redis underneath, still, if you want to have all the features that they provide - scale in/out, replicas, etc, you'll need to have some tools around. I would say yes, it's sti

I think I misunderstood the parent comment. I can't delete the answer, though :) sorry about that!

Sorry, but this comment is really diminishing the entire purpose of years and years of studies in AI.

Agreed. Otherwise there's plenty of alternatives, like diaspora. Supercool etc, however quite unlikely to replace Facebook any time soon...

Indeed! What a great way to see failure: what went wrong, how to improve without blaming it on the poor guy. I wish all companies were like this - very forward thinking! Funny thing is... this morning on my commute I was watching https:&#x

Sometimes it's not about "oh I am gonna crush you financially" but "if you want to play, you need to play by the rules".

I think the statement > People simply do not care about their privacy if its in conflict with convenience is only partially correct. So far I have been able to distinguish these kinds of people: - people unaware - people aware that try t

Wait until GDPR is here, then we might discuss about it. I really wonder how they will pass all those "privacy checks".

There is no algorithm, unfortunately, that helps people develop a critical thinking. The biggest mistake is to (have) let FB become our daily news, messaging app, social app, gaming console, etc.

Duckduckgo improved drastically over the last 6-7 years. I have no idea how they did it, but they did a great job.

I think that the main reason of Facebook's failure is that people need someone to listen to them. Facebook is just about sharing. People will hear you but you want someone to listen to you, eventually. So,this feeling of being heard ca
