Calling a person a "douchebag" or "shithead" was not OK.

Facebook Workplace debuts for all users and brings video with it
For me, density and team layout makes a big impact between a good open plan space and a horrible one.

I worked for FB in NYC, and found that when visiting Menlo Park hq, the open plan there didn't bother me at all -- if anything, I was actually way more productive there. The density at MPK was low enough that the noise/distraction level was minimal, and all of the surrounding teams were working on similar parts of the stack. I've previously been skeptical of open plan, but this setup was really ideal for collaboration. (that said, this was one of the older formerly-Sun buildings; I never experienced the new, larger, more open building.)

But meanwhile in NYC, the density was much much higher, and team layout totally random, to the extent that I left the company for these reasons alone. It was impossible to concentrate without wearing noise-cancelling headphones, but I couldn't wear those for 9+ hours a day without getting a migraine.

It was frustrating since I otherwise liked my job, loved my team, loved the technical challenges. Space-wise, it looks like things are finally much better in the NYC office these days, but I'm still very hesitant to consider returning to the company after my previous experiences.
The company I just left does not. The company I was at previously had so little meeting room space that it was almost impossible to get a room without booking days in advance.
This is why I expect the Chinese to start demonstrating reusable first-stage rockets in the next 5 years. I'd hate to be a security officer at SpaceX or Blue Origin.
Oh but your psychological wellbeing means nothing to the dimwit who loves open offices and thinks he can still do "deep work" (most likely trivial crap like stitching together some libraries to make the front end of a CRUD application) while spending half the day disturbing others with endless non productive talk ("team work").

Or even worse, someone whose job is to talk on the phone and use the stupid CRUD app, and who has never done anything cognitively demanding in their entire life, literally.
Yes, just what I want... more crap from Facebook.

I've been so very satisfied with how much of my personal data they sell to marketers thus far, I really want them to start tracking me at work too.

Hopefully they will pair the launch with an aggressive sales campaign targeted at people in HR so I won't get a say in the matter and it'll just be rolled out for my coworkers without our input. That would be just swell.
Yes it is; I can switch between tabs just fine with arrow keys.

>I have never really seen the numbers that show it might be be better value.

I think people misunderstand the function of PR vs. Advertising.

PR is a way to build credibility through third party validation.
Advertising is how you convert that credibility into sales.

They both have their time and place and you really need both to build a big brand.

If you run PR as your only marketing, you will be disappointed by the lack of direct sales and quantifiable ROI it drives.

If you run advertising without PR (or other third party validation) you will get frustrated with how expensive your cost per acquisition is from advertising.
Thanks for the clarification. This makes a lot more sense to me now. So if Internet Service X is not ordered to take something down, but told that "[poster] was ordered to take something down", they should be allowed to ignore it. Seems like it'd solve the problem to me. (Especially since it wasn't [poster] but some name-a-like who may not exist.)
It's a tricky subject, because heavily regulating what kids must be exposed to by the state could easily be classified as propagandized brainwashing. If we support both the right of parents to express their beliefs to their children and the right of the children to make an informed decision when they are adults about their beliefs, the best thing may be have a mandatory "survey of beliefs" class for children at various points in their lives.

A class that covered the 4-5 most common world religious beliefs as well atheism in a way that did not promote any of them, much less one over the others (a tall order in some communities, I'm sure), would do a great deal to both inform individuals on various beliefs and how they interrelate, as well as foster understanding for others.

It sounds like you are trying to compensate for a lack of systems engineering by changing the office layout. You shouldn't be relying on serendipitously overheard conversations for coordinating things like this.
Considering the backlash against Slack [0], it’ll be interesting to see if Messenger’s model of more “atomic” conversations will create less interruptions. Slack (much like IRC) really contributes to an expectation of continuous conversation throughout the day/night (although not all people deal with it that way). In comparison, Messenger (and other chat apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, etc.) seem to be more designed towards short chats about specific topics, while still allowing for deeper, longer conversations (even larger groups) if needed. Could be a huge win.

Beyond that, am I the only one surprised at Live being half-heartedly pushed as part of Workplace? The use-cases they give seem liminal at best, and even the mockups they made are really half-assed. Seems like even Facebook Inc doesn’t believe in Live’s potential in the workplace, which seems narrow-sighted. Sure, Live might not be a great internal corporate tool, but it could be a great replacement for external webinars, webcasts & trainings.

> Prenda Law took >6 years and nobody is in prison, what makes you think this will be any different?

Well, for one thing, Prenda Law controlled the entities (or they were completely fictional) that were the plaintiffs in its cases, whereas the "reputation management firms" here are apparently filing cases with their reputation management clients as named plaintiffs which the clients apparently don't know about and don't approve, and object to once they are actually made aware of them. And they use the results to influence third parties besides the defendants, and the defendants aren't generally doing something that they want to hide from attention.

From the appearance of what is going on here, there are lots of reasons to think that this scam could blow up much faster on its perpetrators than Prenda Law measured from the first time someone noticed something funny going on.

>Conflict of interest but its interesting to note both Coke and Pepsi also own major juice brands and these get a free pass most of the time when laws are crafted to reduce intake of sugary food.

To play devil's advocate, one reason you might want to exempt "natural fruit juices" from a "soda tax" laws is that the laws are designed to make the product more expensive, enough to scare off consumption into healthier alternatives. But natural fruit juices tend to already be much more expensive to begin with (because you have to actually grow the few pieces of fruit), so they already have a kind of built-in deterrent to overconsumption.
> sexually active people... a Protected Class?

Yes, of course the US only plays lip service to separation of church and state so that can cause confusion.
And of course Google and Facebook and the like don't really have a problem with rejecting 90% of qualified candidates, because "everyone" wants to work there and they have no shortage of qualified applicants. On the other hand, everyone that is imitating them has a rather big problem, because most potential candidates haven't even heard of their company.

Certainly there are plenty of people for whom it is significant. You could just as easily say many have their smartphone fully paid for by their employer so it doesn't matter. When I paid for my own smartphone before, I got a Moto G (80% as good as a phone many times as expensive). Now that my employer pays, I got a more expensive phone that I like only marginally better than my former Moto G (and I miss some things about the G). However, plenty of people are not in that situation, and plenty of people notice the $500+ difference.

My mom has had her own successful small fashion business for the past 25 years, and it frustrates me watching her do anything on the computer -- her business doesn't even have a website. The ironic thing is that she spends all day on it managing her thousands of photos, sending out sales emails, etc. Here are some concepts I've repeatedly helped her with:

PC:

- Navigating the file system is confusing, esp on a PC with a lot of default folders that don't need to be touched

- Drag + Drop relocates local files, but copies if you're uploading to the web/external device. Same action but different results.

- Setting up a new device with the essential software

- Debugging printer and wifi problems.

Web:

- Password recovery/management (she can't use skype anymore)

- Figuring out google drive (finally migrated her business on this)

- the concept of shared files vs attaching everything in emails

- to her, the internet is youtube, gmail, and google search.

- tabs are like browsers in browsers. How do you remember what page is opened in each tab?

- product names are non descriptive. Why aren't they called "Chrome Browser" and "Firefox Browser"?

Smartphones:

- discovering her mobile number (i taped a sticker on the back of her phone with her #)

- making text larger (if she needs glasses to read, she won't read)

- managing push notifications and clearing voicemail (notification overload --> ignores all messages)

- She confuses the concepts of apps, icons, links, buttons, and thumbnails.
The vulgar spectrum (darn -> poop -> ... -> shit -> fuck -> ... -> cunt) and context are hugely important as well
Companies probably wouldn't allow it in if it involved being distracted by your social "circle". That's why it doesn't. It's a completely separate account.
I think it's important to also point out that this generation is also a little more sensitive about using derogatory / racist / sexist terms towards others that target specific groups and/or individuals. So you could say it's a wash -- some words (fuck, shit, etc) just don't have the same negative connotations anymore and are used very frequently even in professional settings, but other types of speech have become more taboo.

I'm not sure that the punitive justice system can be blamed for guilt by association social stigma and victim blaming. If anything, having a clear actor to blame for the crimes would seem to protect them from any guilt or stigma as a matter of agency.

Team rooms are still better than cramming people side by side row after row.
You are falling into the trap of assuming the state must accept religion. We where happy to indoctrinate Indians though forcible separation from their parents.

So, it's not actually about 'religion' or 'tolerance' it's about the short list of accepted religions.

PS: Some argue that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Child_Welfare_Act fixed this, but there are plenty of more recent cases disproving that idea. As of 2010, Alabama,[41] Indiana,[42] Kentucky,[43] Louisiana,[44] Missouri,[45] and Tennessee[46] still use the "existing Indian family" exception.
I guess the main point is balance - not everybody agrees about the exact point where it is, but everybody agrees the extremes are bad.

An isolated room in a corner is not good - though it may be useful for "development sprints". An "auditorium" shared between sales, development, marketing, and sometimes even support - people which talk on the phone all the time - is terrible.

Best productivity I ever achieved was during a time I shared a room with 2 co-workers that shared similar knowledge but worked in slightly different areas of the product line, and one was not even working in the same project as me. So we did exchange ideas, but each one was doing each one's part of the equation independently.

I considered some other opportunities before joining my current employer, and some of them were discarded due to (among other reasons) the huge open offices with 30-40+ employees on the same floor.
Sorry, but Tamiflu is an anti-viral drug, not a vaccine, and it is effective.

At my company they are changing open offices to open offices with shared desks. At least if you cannot stand it, you are allowed to work from home. Cheap, cheaper, cheapest -- for the company.

I find it hard to believe that people believe Slack started the trend. There have been countless such services in the past. Back in the terrible dark ages of the internet, pre-2000, we used AIM to have those type of discussions. Was very valuable as we had development teams all over the country and was a quick way to determine who the expert was for a given question and get them into a conversation. If it was too cumbersome to hash out with them via messaging we would, god forbid, pick up the phone and have a chat.

Stories of "A woman meets a man who committed some unspeakably vile crime in his past, but now he appears to be fully reformed and a model citizen, and in fact he is" are probably less newsworthy, so there's a selection bias in play here.

I don't get the negativity. This is kinda awesome! News feeds will be good to monitor what's going on across many groups / teams, groups can help your team post and communicate across various topics (same with messaging). Honestly the live video streams on demand is kinda huge; this isn't always something easy for companies to do especially large companies but Facebook can pull this off and make it look great for thousands of users.

Overall this seems like a great tool for a workplace. Trouble is it has to compete with Slack and, arguably, things like Confluence.
