I agree with this and don't use Facebook.

Monitoring my own misgivings however I've noticed that there is a tendency to throw the baby out with the bathwater ...

So much of our most trenchant criticisms of Facebook stem from how it's an illusion and that's not rooted in reality. Zuckerberg seems to be trying to reattach its moorings, talking about these real-world communities that give us a sense of purpose and meaning and that Facebook complements rather than replaces or distorts.

Unfortunately his status as a billionaire undermines this argument. We're intellectually (if not actually) very skeptical of illusions (e.g. Plato's allegory of the cave) and view his net-worth being directly proportional to his malign influence in our society, pulling the wool over our eyes with an addictive illusion while voraciously funneling our private information into vast data-centers where AI is trained to new heights of persuasiveness...

But I think it is possible to rehabilitate Facebook's illusory component and get something useful out of it. After all it has been instrumental in some major movements across the globe, including the election of Trump and subsequent protests.

I've written about it here:
https://iainmait.land/posts/20170201-transitional-object.htm...

It's a bit like MZ's approach ... while also acknowledging OP's final point, that Facebook will never willingly optimize for dis-engagement.
You tune the brightness down until the screen turns off. Then they reboot and default back on. Repeat for leaving the gate, taxiing, post take-off, etc...
What do all these roles have in common? They aren't usually valued very highly by society.

Artistic work is valued very highly by society. J.K. Rowling is a billionaire. Notch, creator of Minecraft, likewise. George Lucas is a billionaire 5x over.

It seems a lot of people want to work the jobs the robots are good at and not do the ones humans are best at.

A very large number of people desperately want to do artistic work, enough to keep doing it on less than minimum wage and/or in terrible working conditions for decades or their entire lives.

The problem is not that artistic work, per se, isn't valued. The problem is that artistic jobs in the 21st century suffer from a truly vicious power law curve, and a comparatively small number of people can create most of the art and storytelling most people will consume, and thus reap most of the rewards.
> they rarely do it (roughly 4,500 times last year, IIRC)

My mistake, I hadn't heard of this until recently (and clearly didn't read the article properly) and assumed it was a new policy under Trump.

At a rate of around 0.0012%, and assuming it's more targeted than random, my actual chance of being asked is much lower, yes sure, that probably is worth the risk of being turned around.
Not that I necessarily disagree with your overall sentiment, but I think you've chosen a poor example:

>(implying others their defaults are not)

This is wrong. The point of "sane defaults" is something along the lines of "first do no harm", a sort of minimal starter where if, in principle, an operator started using it out of box and never ever touched a single configuration file or setting, they might lose out on many features or potential but they'd have something minimally usable and that would in general not cause issues. There isn't necessarily one set of possible sane defaults, but it's not hard to imagine INsane defaults for a lot of software or hardware. This is particularly a big deal with all sorts of products that have security, infrastructure, or safety implications. Networking hardware/software products for example necessarily have a great deal of complexity and flexibility under the hood, but that makes Foot-Gun Syndrome a real issue. So they also generally have minimal default factory settings that aim to ensure that they can in fact be configured, accessed, and won't immediately open any gaping holes, flood the network, etc. A firewall might have "sane defaults" of nothing, or perhaps minimally allowing SSH from the LAN and port 80/443 say. An OS should by default not expose services to the net (this was a real problem at one point).

Sane/sensible defaults acknowledge the fact that most consumer users never touch settings, and that even expert users appreciate having a good basic starting point that they can customize from or reset to. "Everyone" thinks about this because it's a universal problem for any configurable software/hardware.
Tips and Tricks to Lose Weight Fast Naturally
That would be Phoebe.
To add a bit of math into the equation:

Piketty estimates that the average return to real estate worldwide is a little less than 5%.

In other words, the average property worth $6M would generate 6,000,000 x 0.05 / 12 = $25,000 in rent per month.

If we use the same assumption to calculate the value of your property, assuming an 80% utilization rate - $2000E/day x 365day/yr x 0.8 utilization / 0.05 = $12M.

So given these assumptions your sister was offered half of the value of the property. Of course this simple valuation hasn't been adjusted for taxes, depreciation, cost of maintenance, etc. but I doubt that would bring the value of the property down by 50%, and I'm willing to bet that you generate much higher than a 5% return on your properties if the rental mkt is as good as the OP has described.
That's a little bit too easy answer. Who is the person responsible? If we have a company without a chain of command, will the board them have a meeting and nominate a fall guy?

Everything doesn't always work out with perfect harmony.

>Don't broadcast publicly if you dont want it to be public.

Ah, to live in the 90's again. I remember when the motto was "Don't share anything on the internet that you don't want to be public."
I strongly disagree with this reasoning.

Yes, more people will burned by making these data more easily available to the public - but as a result of those people being burned, security for the community as a whole will be improved over time.

An example of this is what happened with Facebook. Prior to 2013, most users logged in to Facebook without using HTTPS. A Firefox-based tool was released that sniffed for Facebook traffic over WiFi and snagged the other users' cookie to allow for easy session hijacking (Firesheep). Shortly after Firesheep started getting press coverage Facebook enabled HTTPS-by-default[1].

I think it's perfectly valid to argue whether or not the short-term harm caused by this sort of thing is justified by the longer-term benefit, but I don't think it's quite fair to say that the only reason to offer it is to enable abuse.

Yeah, articles that focus on wages as the primary driving force (or here, wages plus currency movements) are missing the main picture. Changes in wages do make a difference at the margins, but only the margins: a 15% wage change in one direction or another simply speeds up or slows down the schedule of automation being rolled out, but it doesn't make previously completely infeasible things feasible. Tech developments, on the other hand, can produce order-of-magnitude improvements in costs and capabilities, which swamps these smaller currency/wage movements in terms of making things feasible and economical to automate.
Why We Choose Profit

Seems like you'd be fine in that environment.

Doesn't happen. People naturally seek out authorities and instinctively elevate and listen to them. Even if no one bears the formal title, there will be a few people who end up directing the group.

Far from eliminating political barriers, "unstructured" groups make them supreme. Without granting explicit designations for authorities, the only thing holding the group together is popularity. This means the best propagandists and most personally charming leaders (read: best flatterers; the people most willing to tell you whatever you want to hear) will be in control, regardless of their incentives, motives, or true qualifications.

> To be honest I hate this economic idea of enforcing a ban via adding tax to it. This ideology shows the lack of understanding of the disparity in income in India. The middle class and below are the most affected and they face the most brunt of all this.

A ban just means everyone feels the same level of pain as the poor--so net, more pain--without the gains of tax revenue.

> The problem isn't solved here its just reduced by probably 10%

A tax is about internalizing the negative externalities. If we price in the cost of cancer (and the hyperbolic discounting of my cancer being way of in the future), and I still decide it's worth it to me, then let me smoke in exchange for funding public health initiatives that will fully offset the societal cost.
This is a learned skill anyone can refine, even before picking up their FU money, at virtually any income level. Even if you are a uni student; perhaps especially if you are a uni student. Nearly anywhere you go in the world, there will be people living in destitution on the streets. While a good proportion in the US have mental and substance abuse issues, an astounding number are starved for simple, decent, human companionship. Just someone, anyone, who treats them as another decent human being. Instead of a "drive-by", "dialing-it-in" donation where you hand them some goods and/or money, receive a "thank you", and that is the extent of the interaction (though they do appreciate that as well).

Sit down with them. Offer to buy them a meal at a nearby diner and say you want someone to chat with. Ask them how their day has been. Be a conversationalist to listen to their stories; and boy, do some of them ever have stories. Imagine you two are sitting next to each other on the same bus, and have an hour until you reach your destination.

Actually,the really creepy thing about Amazon is that if I use their iPhone app to browse for stuff I get ads on my Facebook account for the stuff I searched.

My name is not my real name on FB, and it's written in a non-latin alphabet. I never discuss products on Facebook, and besides these events happen immediately after.

I have no idea how Facebook is targeting me with Amazon ads for things I just browsed on the Amazon app.

> Very few companies are fine to write "fuck" in documents that reaches customers. Very few are fine to have no license attached to software.

Redistribute it under another license then? The WTFPL gives you permission to do that, after all.

> A lot of companies distribute unmodified GPL software and have no issue with including the GPL licensing text (and source code) in ways that reaches customers.

It's perfectly doable. But it's nonzero effort and it creates an ongoing obligation (as long as you're going to keep distributing the software, or something like 3 years after if you do the more customer-friendly thing of only distributing the source on request). I'm not surprised that a company would do it, but I'm amazed that a company would consider it less burdensome than the WTFPL.
Wow!! You're awesome!!!

I stopped using Facebook. I had a lot of people who I've not seen in a long time there. Frankly, if you asked, I could not remember one personal thing I got from their stream.

On the other hand, I do have lots of nice memories of actual physical meetings with people.

My conclusion based on my biased data set is that the value Facebook brings is ephemeral at best when laid against the skein of real world experiences.

My life is not a stream of posts on third party servers.

There's no way this can work well IRL. I was talking to a friend who follows the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan. Apparently, the terrorists knew (correctly, I presume) that phone calls were being monitored. So they switched to using allusions in their conversations. Grenades became "potatoes". An AK-47 became a "broom". Explosives became "flour". And so on. So a request for more arms sounded like a shopping list for a grocery store: send some potatoes, and we also need a couple of brooms.
True. It's possible they _might_ lie and they don't implement E2E encryption correctly.

However, saying that they implement E2E encryption and at the same time they will use AI to analyze what goes through the connection doesn't have to do with lies. It's just impossible. To analyze data you need to be able to read it. And you cannot read it if it's encrypted.

> The result is a website completely SEO friendly that will work for the two people in the whole world who disabled JS

What will it take to dispel the myth that JS rendering isn’t SEO friendly? There seems so much confusion on this point but the fact is that as long as your UI is rendered synchronously (i.e., any data needed for the UI doesn’t have to get fetched from a server), the page will be crawlable by Google.

Further, the goal of isomorphic rendering/rendering static sites in general is not to serve individuals who have JS disabled (that’s a bonus, sure), but rather to remove JS loading and execution from the equation with the end goal of faster paint times for your application.

To be clear, this is a really cool project but I fear that many of us throw out keyword spam like SEO and UX to make something more digestible, when the reality is that the performance gain is the real hero!
There's nothing in there that's remotely relevant these days, all ego bullshit, marketing and conditioning. Any one who's not forced or numbed has already fled the sinking ship. Zucker needs to find a new hobby; who knows, maybe this one will be the one that actually makes a positive difference...
Which one do you want to do?

There's no right answer. No grade at the end. And other than going off and working on a side project, none is likely to have much effect on your career over the long run. Going off and working on a side project is likely to negatively affect your career because it will most likely reduce the size and strength of your social graph and the size and strength of your social graph usually has a significant impact on a person's career.

Quitting school to work part time probably won't send a strong signal to future employers either.

Finally, why not get a dual degree/double major/whatever? This would give you time to line up a post graduation job that would benefit your career more than whatever job you have now. And it would make your resume stand out.

Good luck.
Author: I don't use Twitter and wouldn't want to share this on Facebook either (and make it a little bit more money), but I really enjoyed reading this article! :) I wish I could've written something like this with my deep dislike of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and where they're leading humanity to.

> If Zuckerberg shut down Facebook for a month, he’d have a more positive impact Building Global Community than any of the high-minded things he wrote out.

Actually, if this were to happen (certainly not because Zuckerberg wants it to), people would suddenly find time to be more productive, to engage in things they've been putting off and find ways to get in touch with others through less-noisy channels (with a little more intimacy, perhaps). For all its merits, Facebook has turned into a place to navel gaze, pat each other in echo chambers, and shout out things to everyone else to get some reactions (likes and others).
