I had an experience with Facebook locking my account once, and I came to suspect that they were doing it to punish me for logging in on a mobile browser to promote the app. The UX really seemed to be designed to be painful - interfaces wher

I tried to look this up, and I found people saying you don’t need an Xbox Live account, but you still need a Microsoft account. Would appreciate any authoritative source that can answer the question.

by shajznnckfke 6y ago
The Xbox requires that you have a Microsoft account, right? This seems like an inconvenience but I have a hard time understanding why it’s worth Congress’s time. Isn’t the world full of products that have to be registered by making an accou

I don’t think this fully explains the dynamics of the situation. Even if you can perform well enough in the interview process to get paid extremely well by big tech, you probably can’t get a comparable amount of equity from a startup. It’s

If this is an issue, FAANG could just rebalance their comp a bit to move some from RSU/Bonus to base. Of course, Netflix won’t need to change anything. They already pay twice as much as the highest number here, all in cash.

This is why I don’t work for a startup. However, I suspect the average candidate doesn’t understand the equity well enough to properly value it. Therefore it would be a waste to give away a bigger chunk of the cap table to those employees i

IMO, when your quality of life gets high enough, your lizard brain will find the most obscure problems to freak out about. From trying to avoid being eaten by lions to caring which continent the computers with electrons representing us digi

The government did ban the data from being stored in foreign datacenters - that’s why the local datacenters are being built.

It would be interesting to compare big tech’s total carbon output to other major industries and find out. Also neat would be environmental impact per economic output.

The big popular ones that advertise (Hims and Roman) are very overpriced. I found Blink Health sells a generic version for much cheaper ($2 a pill).

Apple’s careers page has job listings indicating they are using an industry standard data warehousing, ETL, star schema etc. user analytics stack for something. I don’t think any specific claims they made about privacy are false (they have

To play the part of the average consumer here... why should I care exactly? I know about the concept of TV ratings so some families are allowing a computer to keep track of what they watch. How does this hurt me? Maybe if I was using my TV

I think the dichotomy you’re pointing will affect Facebook’s legal tactics, but has no bearing on the privacy risk they need to defend against. In both cases, Facebook has an API that served data for some authorized client for a specific pu

Interesting if you can get a bug bounty for reporting this. I think if an enterprising bounty hunter heard about that, a bunch of anonymously authored extensions might start mysteriously appearing. It might pay better than building web apps

by shajznnckfke 6y ago
Facebook had to dedicate some resources to even go looking for extensions like this. They only have 5000-10000 installs. IMO it demonstrates a change in the company’s attitude toward protecting user data from the old days of letting people

My understanding is that CA got the data by building a free quiz app on Facebook’s platform (I don’t think FB was getting paid for that, correct me if I’m wrong). The difference is that the quiz app used Facebook’s developer-facing APIs to

If people are going to be mad at Facebook for allowing Cambridge Analytica to get access to user data by tricking users into providing access to their data on Facebook by installing apps, they really ought to support Facebook in the effort

I assume there wouldn’t be any public policy for that. I think privately they’d calculate that remote employees have a weaker job market and less refreshes will be required to retain them.

I’ve found that the built-in smart TVs, including Roku, have a laggy and frustrating experience compared to Apple TV. Also, most smart TV software stops working entirely after a while.

I think what you’re saying here pretty much agrees with what I’m saying. By owning the platform where video is watched, Google will have more market power in the video streaming business. In the long run, that means getting a cut of revenu

Doing the math on your numbers, 2% of 1.1 billion is 22 million, which is tens of millions. The 1.1 billion appears to include TVs with included “smart TV” software, which explains why it’s such a huge number. Back in 2015 Apple said they h

I think I’ve searched on Google for most movies I’ve ever watched. Maybe that makes me a weird person, I don’t know. If you search for a movie on Google, you get a lot of information, including reviews, actors, links to rent it on Google Pl
