The idea that social media can do this is the central conceit of facebook. A friendship maintained solely because of an entry in a database is not the same as one driven by the memories of the participants. You are not extending your ability to make friends. You are engaging in something fundamentally different from friendship.

Look at the effects--- facebook depresses people, but meeting real people in real life makes us happy. You will say you need facebook to know where the next party is and meet those people, but that's like saying you need to smoke to meet people at bars.

Friendship isn't a token. It's a continued process of communication and exchange. You are not extending your capacity for friendship by submitting your life details to a social network.

Do you think lack of founder attention negatively impacted lack of progress on the partnership/BD side? Seem to be key in the market (Spotify with Starbucks; Pandora in-car app).

Sad to see the "best" product in the market go under.
For services using standard protocols, you can use software for OTP (google authenticator is the most famous example and uses TOTP/HOTP).

Edit: I might have misunderstood your question. What you can easily store for TOTP/HOTP is the seed. After that you need a software to compute the dynamic codes.
yeah. i definitely thought about doing it with the whiteboard. i got distracted by the opencv stuff, but i am very happy with the results.
Right. I agree parts of this can be put on the "costs" side of Facebook use.

But this aspect isn't basically the issue of publishing? If you post your Facebook status/photos and mark them publicly visible, you're a publisher. Other people can see it. If, however, you limit it to your friends only, then if your non-friend boss sees them it means someone screwed up - which doesn't seem any different than someone gossiping about you in real life.

Anyway, this aspect is something where I think we need to grow up as a society. Your boss probably did (or still does) the same stupid shit that you do, so him making an issue out of that drunk photo of yours is utterly hypocritical. Looking at some things posted by people with status I'm beginning to believe that Facebook is actually helping here - people are getting used to the concept that they're no different than anyone else wrt. weirdness, and that they can be judged by others just like they themselves judge other people. In the face of this, I hope everyone will finally agree to chill out and stop judging one another entirely :).

There's a good discussion on the Soviet analysis of the US shuttle program in "The Making of a Soviet Scientist" by Roald Sagdeev. Sagdeev and Keldysh were against the shuttle since they could not find any justification, economic or otherwise, for the space shuttle.

Eventually the argument that won the day was that "The Americans are smart and pragmatic, so there must be some use" for the space shuttle.

The Nokia Lumina 530 costs under 50 GBP on Aamzon SIM-Free without a carrier.
The Samsung Galaxy Y can also be found under 50 GBP without a carrier these days, same goes for older S series mini phones.
And if you just need a cheap android phone then DealExtreme/Alibaba no-brand Chinese phones can also usually be found under 50$.

Edit: The 520 costs 58$ on Aamzon US, the 530 cots 78$ both are unlocked and quite good phones(decent hardware, great battery life) since they both run Windows 10 these days you also get quite decent app support, not nearly as good as Android as of yet but it's getting there.

Agreed. The Oculus acquisition still has me scratching my head. I don't doubt that VR will be a major technology, if the Oculus manages to follow up on the promise of the DK. But it seems so very different to FB's current market and core competency.

Where are the synergies? Display ads within VR? From the reaction of visceral disgust I've seen to ads on the apple watch, I can't see anyone putting up with them in the Oculus.

Maybe they're keeping something Insanely Great up their sleeve, but from their total failure to do anything at all with whatsapp or instagram, I'm not hopeful.
There are several elements here. First, most people are not rational, and they can't be motivated by rational deduction. Most people simply do not have the intellectual horsepower to overcome their emotional perspectives and rationalize themselves into good decisions, even when the essential data is present. This invalidates "just be rational" as a practical solution to social welfare.

Second, the essential data is rarely objective or complete. There are very few datasets where a subjective value judgment on some information can be avoided; if you incorrectly devalue some data, your "rational decision" can turn out to be very problematic indeed. So not only are most humans incapable of performing basic rational deduction, they also often lack the perspective necessary to adequately value a subjective dataset, where "adequate" means interpreting it to be compatible with general social cohesion and happiness.

The tried and true traditions of the previous generations of a successful society may err in some smaller things, but in most things, they will be reliable. Young adults (< 50) often lack the maturity and perspective to properly understand the decisions they're making. They'd do well to listen to their elders and try to learn from them.

All of this culminates in "religion" or something very close to it, and it's essential to social stability. If you don't provide one, a replacement will automatically generate. People will find and adopt a belief system as absolutes. You can see this in the "secularist" society of today, that adopts what they perceive to be "scientific consensus" as effective religious tenets, or in the "social equality" segment that adopts their interpretation of "diversity and equality" as effective religious tenets.

In America, some 28% of christians are biblical literalists of the "God said it, I believe it, that settles it sort"

So they probably would agree with this passage from their bible: Deuteronomy 13:6-10:

“If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you … Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die.”

So... Yea. Oh, and in the 80s in high school, I had a loaded gun held to my head and was told that if I did t believe in god (which god??!!) I must surely be worshipping satan. (The kid with the gun was pulled away by his friends. Lest I forget to mention it, this was a school in Texas. Somehow that is relevant, I'm sure.)

Our website is intentionally simple. Please, follow this link to learn more about us:

https://www.staticjobs.com/about_us.php

Don’t shoot us for the staffing agencies, please. We’re very well aware that nobody likes them. On the back-end we have everything to eliminate them from the search results. We cannot implement this functionality on the front-end yet for various reasons.

Job seekers, we are sympathetic with all of you and are committed to making your lives easier. For example, you won’t see “great” stealth mode start-ups or established companies that are too “shy” to disclose their name. We require all job posters to publish their company name. Thus, no confidential or anonymous companies; you will know who you’re sending your resume to.

As well, we realize that employers need to be educated. Eventually we’re going to fix the problem with employers not posting pay rate, posting junk ads, programming assignments, tests and insane interviews and we may go as far as outlawing third-party agencies.

At this stage we’re still in start-up mode and cannot be picky as far as job posters are concerned but our ultimate goals are above. Please, take a look at our site and apply for a job if you need one. And we would appreciate technical feedback again, especially how our site looks on tiny and huge screens.

UK and Canadian employers, we’re giving free jobs to promote our business in your countries. Please, sign up and we’ll give you as many free jobs as you want. There’s nothing to lose. Worst case - you’ll waste a bit of your time. Best case - you’ll get a couple of resumes. We have traffic from these countries.

I wonder about two possible reasons for the difference between you and me (as representatives of classes of people who like and dislike Facebook, respectively):

1) When did you start using it? I remember starting quite early, so maybe the well-maintained garden comes from the fact I did it gradually over the years, so I didn't notice the work?

2) It may be simply that Facebook caters well only to some lifestyles, while it conflicts with another. And/or personality types; I think I've noticed that the more extrovert people tend to use Facebook a little less - mostly to share funny stuff and coordinate the next real-life party. All the interesting discussions I have on Facebook are usually held with people who, like myself, aren't very party-going.
But note that some people desire attributes of society that they consider to qualify as "open society" that many other people who also claim to want an "open society" oppose. For instance, one might beliege that an open society would not have hate speech laws or copyright laws, and that anyone who supports such laws has "beliefs incompatible with an open society."

I'm muslim and I don't share your point on me being a victim. I think that the best thing we, muslim that want to live in peace, can do, to get over this terrorism problem and stop our child from joining those organisations, is stop spreading the feeling that we are victims of the western world and accept that part of what happen/is happening to us is our fault. We need to stand for our selves by having better leaders, work harder and manage our wealth efficiently. As long as corruption and greed are common practices in our countries and no one is standing to fight them (or at least very little) we deserve what is happening to us.
Those people who join ISIS or al qaeda think they are the victims of the western world, but the reality is that they are the victims of them selves and could have made a difference if they fought for there rights in there countries instead of chasing a chimera and killing innocent people.

You are right, there would be many petty criminals who would be caught because they'd talk about their crimes in plaintext. There would be a reduction in petty crime, while leaving major crime pretty much untouched. That sounds like a good thing... except it might not be in society's interest to eliminate petty crime, as Snowden explains here [1].

Exactly. Same reason you have locks on your doors even though they are easy to defeat. Tech types want to believe that the government is always overreaching and everything is a slippery slope to some other loss of freedom.

Yeah those services are "grey" at best in many other places in the world also but are often used, I don't think anyone is going be prosecuted for violating the DMCA for unlocking a phone unless you are running the unlocking service yourself.
That said it is a risk that some people might not want to take, but considering that people violate the DMCA by far more often by pirating various media I don't think most people would care, or even know that it's forbidden.
> What 2nd factor has a static key that allows you to store it in 1password?

A few implementations (ex. my broker) have you read your code off a physical card they mailed with about 200 codes on it. Of course I just scanned that card into 1Password.

For standardized 2FA systems, 1password actually has support for generating one time passwords (like Google Authenticator). [1]

Whatever a woman earns -- after taking care of her primary/general responsibility of largely being the minister/secretary of (informal) education, cultural and internal affairs within the realm of a budding family -- remains with her and is not obliged to spend for the basic subsistence of the family. She still gets her inheritances. Besides, as the last of the Abrahamic religions today, Islam presents itself as the continuation of the basic common messages that the prophets came with. The prophets came with robust messages to fix social reality (not necessarily every single aspect of it though), and they themselves were not primarily trying to fit-in and win mere popularity contests at any cost.

I think your argument would also valid for 2FA approach, which is is widely encouraged regardless. Sign-up rate would drop drastically for a majority of common users if a good UX is not into play while developing the system workflow.

But I want also say that for a great variety of solutions having 2FA or passwordless as default is valid, Slack for example has an option of demanding 2FA for all team members, which a lot of people would agree is a good thing.

The "Password Security Guide" section at the article is a good example of educating people how insecure storing password, and you could do the same thing showing/enabling passwordless as a clear and easy alternative to migrate to.
The best quote I heard about the refugees is "they're fleeing the same problems and people you're worried about". I really hope we can protect refugees better than we have been.

The problem with religion is that it isn't one thing. It's a general philosophy and creation myth to many, and to others it's day-to-day marching orders. That latter set is purely crazy - hearing voices, believing counterfactual things, and is often programmed to kill other groups or at least believe they need to die. If someone is a flat-earther in a battle with round-earthers you can take them up in an airplane high enough to see the curve of the Earth, or to space. But there's no counterproof that can be given to a religious killer.

I think the reason people tend to see Muslims as a single group is that both camps (not Sunni vs Shia, but Sane vs Crazy) share the same sets of religious leadership and respect the same historical figures. For example, a southern baptist and a russian orthodox member would have nothing (religiously) in common. If one sect started murdering others, or picking at a weak justification in the bible for slavery, the other sect would condemn them. But Muslims (through the seemingly accepted method of death-threats from priests) control their religious world more tightly. To be a member is to at least profess to, if not actually believe, a specific set of things.

There's no broad blanket condemnation for entire classes of horrible actions. The Saudis control Mecca and yet the "peaceful" muslims continue to travel there and enrich not only a kingdom but one that routinely executes people for rejecting minor religious traditions. It'd be like me saying I didn't support the Catholic molestation coverup and then going on a three-day Vatican tour and coming back with a pope hat.

So while it may be a stereotype, it is a deserved one (Ask Salman Rushdie and Ayaan Hirsi Ali) and Muslims should pay the price of changing it instead of insisting others simply trust them despite their memberships and alliances.
