I feel the same way about SF. This whole experiment has been a massive failure.

It isn't, Harvard is just virtue signaling. Their admissions have always been fucked up. This is the same university that treats Asians as third-class candidates and openly defies the Supreme Court rulings on affirmative action.

Their track record with E2EE is pretty great, given that they opt to disable WhatsApp in countries that ban E2EE instead of disabling E2EE.

E2EE certainly is not the "bare minimum", TLS is. Maybe encryption at rest, but even that's debatable.

Plenty of people have reverse-engineered the apps and found no evidence of this. They use the same protocol as Signal under the hood. Many cybersecurity engineers passionate about this stuff have worked for Meta. They, too, would have blown

Meta gets a lot of flak for privacy, but at the same time, they end to end encrypt the majority of communication happening globally (Whatsapp+Messenger), at cost to the company, with no obligation to do so.

I think your privacy concerns are misplaced. You seem to be confusing the built in VPN server for a VPN provider. I do not see a "free VPN" mentioned anywhere on the website or in the app. All this enables you to do is access yo

I kinda hate Ubiquiti routers. My UDM Pro felt like a total scam, with the IDS/IPS being nowhere close to advertised. They promised but never introduced WireGuard. I also experienced strange bugs in the stack. I eventually moved to OPN

Finally, some good name and shame. I hope someone well-funded exposes these people for who they are and turns public opinion against them en masse.

He has said that he's fine with running the company at-cost, and that profit is not the primary goal. His actions have been internally consistent with this statement.

I'd rather not work at all than work for that complete disaster of a corporate environment. The corpo speak in Callahan's note at the end is simply infuriating. Don't know how these people can lie and mislead with a straight

IMO you might be overindexing on the usage of that word. It is clearer what Musk means in context. Again, he is simply saying that he won't let advertisers pressure him into changing X. That is clearly all he means by "blackmail&q

He did apologize for his remarks. I'm not sure what else you expect. Do you want him to prostate himself in front of the world? Self-flagellate, perhaps? All he saying in this interview is that he simply does not care if his remarks

I think it is pretty clear that Elon does not care about attracting business. He has mentioned that he is fine with running Twitter at cost. I'm not sure why people keep on insisting that he make a profit.

I didn't think it sound unhinged at all. it just sounded like someone that was sick of being pressured telling people to fuck off. That is a fairly common reaction we see in every day life. Elon is simply making abundantly clear that

Musk is not saying that advertisers must stay on Twitter. he is simply telling advertisers to leave if they don't like the way Twitter is being run, instead of contacting him with notices of leaving. I think that is a perfectly respe

This is one of the dumbest things about GDPR and one of the reasons why the EU has a stagnant tech industry. Their own regulations choke their companies to death.

Details like these go through extensive A/B testing. Clearly, Meta has found that gating their content behind a login prompt leads to greater engagement and revenue growth. For what it's worth, I eventually created an Instagram ac

Ads are fine. I've discovered so many fantastic products through them (did my research before buying, of course.) And they are also the only business model we have been able to think of that enables the free flow of information on the

By your logic, because you own your hardware and can do whatever you want with it, you should be allowed to hack into other computers. After all, it's just pressing keys on a keyboard you own and sending bits from a computer you own? Y

The simple fact is that video hosting is incredibly expensive. Do you still want information on the internet to be freely shareable via video? Ads are the price.
