Articles like this appear pretty much every month. Anything from gay activists to artists to mainstream political parties have been subjected to Facebook's puritan censorship. It's become a bit of a running joke.
I find this argument hilarious, especially in this context. > you can't just flagrantly break the law in other countries simply because yours believes differently Facebook, and many American tech companies like it, have…
> What would the world be like if contract/freelance/part time/short term work were the default? It appears to be what we are moving towards, and so far it ain't looking pretty. Sure, "our kind of people" profit from…
Repeating jokes without attribution has been the cultural norm for centuries. The whole notion of plagiarism and copyright and such are the recent inventions. Thank good nobody cares, that just means that the…
Extremely ironic that you post this in response to Google search results, which have become a prime example of choosing what's best for Google over what's best for the user after first decimating the opposition. And so…
> we never let one country or group of people dictate what people can share across the world That's even more hypocritical, given that Facebook itself enforces its own prudish values on the rest of the world by…
> Remember, TSA's job is to spot outliers, oddities, and flag them for review. I seriously hope that is a carelessly worded interpretation on your part. Because that is one scary concept.
The reason why they don't care about whatever you think about the state of journalism is because it allows them to play you directly like a cheap fiddle, without the risk of any pesky journalists getting in the way.…
Apple had that feature, at least on my previous Air.
As someone who lives in a place where cycling traffic (i.e., completely silent traffic) is massive (Amsterdam), I would suggest this is just a matter of careless habit in a car dominated society. The only people not…
And AWS is the only service that supports both, and any finegrained solution in between, by triggering programmatically actionable alarms. You just have to set it up, and if you cannot be bothered, AWS isn't the service…
Not necessary, because this person and her views are quite well known: http://firstround.com/article/The-woman-behind-the-Netflix-C... What's basically clear is that the candidates complaining here a) didn't do their…
The "second-tuesday-of-the-month" policy is a completely arbitrary MS-only policy. If Google (or any other group that discovers security issues) has to take into account every policy of every software producer it…
That just means you haven't properly aligned your developers' interests with your business interest. Limiting developers in which languages and technologies they can use is not going to solve that problem, it merely…
I would say that is mostly because, thanks to RMS and the GPL, we now live mostly in an ecosystem where the threat of a world dominated by closed, proprietary software has been pushed to the background. People don't…
It's a recurring pattern that Apple has to re-invent the entry level laptops every once in a while because they've become so powerful and versatile the target audience for the "pro" laptops starts to prefer them over…
Job title has in my experience strongly affected my ability to influence entrenched company and engineering cultures. Titles affect how you are perceived by others, including engineers, no matter how often we like the…

I have the same "talent". Exploited it for a via a former employer who runs an agency for temporary contract workers, and who regularly ran into such jobs, also because he was in a network with several other such…
Pointless. They do not care. Even in totalitarian states like the former DDR, most people didn't care. People only start caring when it's too late, when they themselves get affected. Besides, the technical people don't…
Although I am the son of an immigrant, am married to an immigrant and am a hiring manager who regularly hires migrant workers, I have no problem understanding anti-immigration sentiments when it comes to people with…
How is it that every time someone makes this argument, they do it in such a superficial, arrogant and ignorant way that makes me not want to work with them, remotely or otherwise? The bandwidth of personal IRL…
For anyone with actual skill, nothing really changed. But then again, for people with actual skill nothing has really changed throughout the last 25 years, despite the crisis. Yes, there was a huge market through Y2K…
Every damn time. Could we please stop equating dangerous behavior with cycling being dangerous? If both cyclists and other traffic behave normally wearing a helmet whilst cycling is as idiotic as wearing a bullet proof…
First, is there any evidence dystopian fiction is actually significantly more popular? Most of my favorite dystopian fiction in literature and cinema is many decades old. It's not exactly a new thing. Second, I grew up…
