I strongly believe that this is a result of Mark Zuckerberg just being strongly disliked, for reasons that seem entirely focused on his person ("Zuckerbot") and not his company's actions. I think the reason you see this comin

A common trap for people in general. "My grammy smoked for 67 years and died at age 102!"

Is this one of the things they're trying to get in before the next Presidential administration? Is the consensus that Biden wouldn't go after Facebook as hard? I thought that both sides of the political spectrum loathed Facebook r

Don't have the foggiest idea what you're talking about. Payouts go a lot lower than $200, all the way down to $0.00 in fact.

Haha. I couldn't even invent something that stupid. I guess they had a lot of cranks reporting bugs? The $100 would make sense if there was a large reward on the other end. Like, if it was deemed to be a real bug, you'd get $10K o

Don't see how Woz's involvement here makes this any more likely to succeed. The guy was a 1000x engineer 40 years ago and is obviously still smart, but hasn't really needed to keep any particular skills sharp for four decades

The quality of the "argument" here is F--. Basically, it's, "nothing you say matters, only what we say matters." Phrases like "just listen" are essentially, "you will respect my authority!"

1+1=2 is a dispassionate observation. Same as this feature being workplace surveillance.

We have kids too. We use "Computer" which is one of the wake words offered by Amazon because we don't want our kids to get used to the idea of bossing around a person. Also, I've mapped all of the functions we use to &qu

No, the idea that everything is an "opinion" is dangerous. This feature was workplace surveillance. Donald Trump lied about winning the election, he did not "make misleading statements" or the other weasel words I'v

Google has 2 billion users or thereabouts. 5% of that is 100 million users. Why not maintain a product for those 5% if it's easy?

This person is a robot or something. They're missing the most important component of value of a gift -- that the value of something is higher when it's a gift from a loved one. If I have a wireless charging dock or a rhyming dicti
