As someone with maybe an "outside" perspective (I never got "in" to Facebook, I never logged in with any regularity, I've posted once, and I essentially have a blank profile), the "We haven’t heard from you in a while" thing is what keeps from using the platform at all. I'm an "inbox zero" kind of person, and there's so much noise on Facebook that I can't get any signal.

Every time I log in I somehow have around 6 notifications. Facebook always finds something to notify me about. It's never a daunting number, but it's never zero either. If I log in twice in a week, I'll have something under a dozen notifications both days. So you'd think that after not logging in for 3 months I'd have dozens of notifications, right? Nope. Always some kind of number that I imagine Facebook has decided is the ideal number of notifications to keep me interested.

I've tried in vain to limit my notifications to things that I actually care about, but I've never been able to get rid of the random noise. Facebook is determined to send me push notifications about something. I can't stand it.
I'd probably be just as vocal as the pro-favicon people if they brought them back. I'm not a tab hoarder though.
By TLD do you mean country domains?

Then absolutely not. Why should a US company not be allowed to use a Swiss-issued certificate for a .io domain name?
The first time I saw the concept (and got mind blown by it) was when I discovered the original version of Passpack (online password manager) made by @sullof
What's the point of this? I remember Google doing something similar with Android Pay and a physical Google Wallet card and it was equally useless.

I use physical cards only because of the 2-5% cashback. If they don't offer the same levels of cashback as the Chase/Amazon/etc. plastic cards do, I see zero point in having a Venmo debit card.

I use Venmo only because I need to send money to friends. For that, a physical card is not necessary.

That gas price should be closer to $3.16 at the moment. If we're talking about the luxury car market, it's far more likely the vehicle is going to be consuming premium gasoline.
> Yes. A fixed number of students are accepted, controlled by the AMA.

No. The AMA does not have any control over how many students are accepted to medical school. The AAMC does, and there technically is a cap, but they've been intentionally increasing it steadily for over a decade in order to increase the supply of doctors.

However, even that's irrelevant, because the number of people graduating medical school isn't a bottleneck for the supply of physicians - residency programs are. There are far more doctors than there are residency slots, and the AAMC doesn't control residency positions. So whatever cap they have at this point doesn't affect anything other than the number of people who graduate medical school and end up having to get a job in a different field.
This sounds a bit like damage control to me, but

> Kyle is easily the most intelligent, hard working, and reasonable CEO I have worked for.

Couldn't you be in a different management hierarchy to this purported employee?
At the enterprise levels this is dealt with by code escrow. I did some research on this for my own business and Iron Mountain [0] seems to be the big player in the field. Costs seem to be in the roughly $1K setup and $1K/year range, but as usual with enterprise sales it's mostly "call us for a quote". I haven't had any clients ask for this yet, but it's good to be prepared if they do.

Maybe its not going to be about completely copying artists. Just attributes from them. What if training the models becomes the art form itself and datasets are the building blocks you use to compose with. Imagine 'composing' models by selecting the training sets. Example: train with the rhythm style of James Brown & the tonalharmony of 50% Bach & 50% Miles Davis.
"The vulnerability provided full RCE, and I know of no info-sec magic that inoculates you against that."

Not really accurate because the exploit name, especially as generic as RCE, does not tell you how it was done. RCE can be a number of things that can be fixed in numerous ways. For example, file upload functionality with path manipulation and no file type validation may lead to RCE. This can certainly be removed with properly crafted file upload handling.

Some RCE, particularly on lower layers of the application stack, may be more difficult to defend against, especially in the case of unknown exploits.
This is nuts....4x revenue?

It would have to make $10,000,000+ for that to make sense.

I really don't want to argue and respect that there are many opinions out there (we all can have one), but OP please ask around to an actual business broker. I have on three businesses this year.

The amount of revenue is really important. Basically - can a buyer imagine living off the business? What's his opportunity to cost? (like it takes 15 hrs a week away from other investments). How much capital would someone need to build it from scratch (might be time in your case).

That's what I ask when I am considering buying.
> What is the incentive for congress to enact laws regulating corporate handling of consumer data?

The already did, it's called the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act:

> In terms of compliance, the key rules under the Act include The Financial Privacy Rule which governs the collection and disclosure of customers' personal financial information by financial institutions. It also applies to companies, regardless of whether they are financial institutions, who receive such information. The Safeguards Rule requires all financial institutions to design, implement and maintain safeguards to protect customer information. The Safeguards Rule applies not only to financial institutions that collect information from their own customers, but also to financial institutions – such as credit reporting agencies, appraisers, and mortgage brokers – that receive customer information from other financial institutions.

Note the inclusion of CRAs.
Until forensic companies get hold of new exploits. Which is how high-value targets have been getting dumped for a while now.
Same.. couldn't be happier. started by removing messenger & ended up removing FB entirely. I Hated it when my old ATT Galaxy S6 came with it pre-installed and you couldn't delete it only disable it so I did just that. The phone runs faster too.

Wasnt there some stanford study that concluded that more people engage with social media like FB more unhappier they felt. something to do with selection bias in feed.

I believe that EV certificates cannot be wildcard certs, is this still true?
So, since the vendor will undoubtedly inject themselves into this complex situation for 'usability', you are basically arguing for devices that are never actually controlled by their user because terrorism. Good 9/11 argument there.
If they bring them back, it should be an app preference.
Sure. Then the question simply becomes whether it's OK to suppress ideas on a public forum because they are deemed by some to be a low-quality contribution.

It seems to me this is dancing around semantics to avoid the question, especially considering the problematic nature of the distinction between something that one considers low-quality vs. something one disagrees with.
Since when is 3 billion dollars in revenue not serious money?
> I actually liked having offensive subreddits on Reddit because there were so many people that devoted themselves to arguing with the people that posted there.

The real problem with having "offensive" subs removed is that now they are going to target the next layer of speech.

You see this on reddit. Now that they succeeded in banning coontown, fph, etc, they are now targeting political subreddit. Hell during the election, there was a push to have the_donald banned.

Then what? Christian subs? Food subs that advocate meat consumption?

It is encouraging a culture of outrage and censorship. Which is very scary.

I am not a diehard android, but i'm replying to you from a LineageOS phone without the Gapps, using microg as an alternative to the google services, and firefox as a browser.

Privacy is achievable on Android. However, I do agree it os very involved.
Yeah I used a Google Voice text number to avoid that. I shared your concerns. The $1/mo is misleading. Looks like $2 to me on their Plus page. I might give it a go with some strong encryption, like if Arq supports it. I'm a bit hesitant though.
Just finished this last night. Great story but about 30 minutes too long.
It is anti-freedom, in the sense that all apps are censored under Apple's own rules. They specifically said that apps do not constitude free speech.
Correct. You need to own a computer to run computer software.
You forgot:

4. The FTC must give a darn to the point that it actually wants to spend money prosecuting.
off-topic, but if you want to go, just go. unless scalping is different than almost anywhere i've been in the country(check local laws, Arlington, TX is dumb) you can usually get in for less than stubhub prices. it helps to find the people the scalpers are looking to buy from before they do

we got into the OU/OSU game in Columbus for less than face

i've only paid appreciably more than face once, and that was when OU played Florida in Miami for the national championship in 2009

i don't have hard numbers, but i've done this over fifty times in the last 10+ years, both coasts, bowl games, etc... mostly college football, but a couple NFL games as well.

there have even been a few times where i was nervous and bought tickets beforehand because it was a big game, and then regretted it when i got there and found cheaper better seats than what i could get beforehand.

i worry that sites like stubhub could stifle availability at games if more people try to just sell online instead of taking them to the stadium

hasn't seemed to have been an issue yet though.

i'm afraid the venues could make more tickets non-transferable and force you into stubhub so they could get a cut of the secondary market, it could actually make it more expensive to get tickets in the end for average events, low end tickets anyway
With facial unlock couldn't they just hold my phone up to my face to image it?
Mostly makes sense but your ability to write a parser is still going to depend on how many parsers you wrote or when you wrote them or whether you are able to use a framework/tool to do it.
It's too bad that they didn't have access to data about other sites like 4chan and Voat to see if they saw an increase correlated to the amount of people who left Reddit.
Really appreciate your comment— that's certainly my goal :)
He's also been divorced twice, what's your point?
Agreed; Expo is in a unique situation that favors partnership with Facebook to maximize the penetration of the React license terms into the broader ecosystem. As such, Expo has natural resistance to the scenario above in that Facebook would not go after a promoter of its license strategy.

That said, Expo is sort of an outlier in this regard and other teams using React or other affected technologies in the process of building their businesses are unlikely to have the protection of such a natural alliance.

Beyond strategic alignment and intellectual property protections, it is hard to imagine what else might balance the scales between a global gigacorp and a $5M SV startup.
False, median household is 90k
Alright, I might have misremembered as last time I've read about it I was surprised how low those numbers were. Maybe I need to look at it again.
> I feel like the OSs should be shipping runtimes for it

Well, Windows does come with the MSHTML control. Sadly for some reason they decided to version lock it at IE6 instead of keeping it up to date for applications to use.
> I'm very into the idea of HTML/CSS/JS on the desktop

Why? there are better languages, platforms and layout engines. HTML/CSS/JS was meant to be a document markup sharing platform, not a rich application one. Use the best tool for the job.

> Best case scenario (for the organization) is that it is fined directly into bankruptcy and someone like FIS acquires them for pennies on the dollar. I am still waiting for CFPB to drop a nuclear bomb over this issue.

There is zero chance of that happening. There's been no hint of this from any reputable source (i.e. not clickbait headlines). Will there be financial repercussions? Fines? Loss of stock value? Absolutely. Will Equifax go out of business or get sold? Absolutely not.
> it seems strange and disturbing to talk to regular users like they’re all marketeers

It doesn't surprise me, not anymore. A lot of marketing is getting high on its own supply, as in, they actually somewhat believe what they are saying; even if they're not believing the euphemisms they put out externally, they still have euphemisms internally they are really not thinking through.

The other explanation is A/B testing, which would be even more sad.
Company responded and said they removed the "feature". They confirmed to me that it was part of an AB test (which I had seen in the code), but did not confirm or deny my suspicion that the AB was used to apply it only to events where it was less likely to be discovered.

I was half-jokingly going to ask for tickets to the game, lol. But after they requested I post an update and clarify their response to removing the feature, it just felt wrong. I mean, I'm glad they removed it, but that's a pretty big thing to act like it should all just be OK and it's a "feature" users didn't like. And I think their urgency in removing it only shows how bad it really was, not how concerned they are for users.

And it looks WAY better than Venmo's card. Black. Signature. Nothing else.
> Similarly, there was a dramatic decrease in hate speech overall among the subscribers of the banned subreddits after the ban.

It decreases because almost every subreddit bans hate speech.

> To draw an un-scientific and unsubstantiated inference, perhaps the power of crowd-psychology and echo chambers is responsible for more hatefulness than we yet can prove.

Actually it has been shown that censoring and stifling people leads to them become more zealous.

It's especially true if people feel persecuted or marginalized.
Adam Neely – who made you an authority to speak on anything?
Fair enough. I more meant that after an attacker has achieved RCE, no amount of encryption or other practices can protect sensitive info in your database.
Like many others have said, it is the same for me too. I deleted the app one day and have felt so much better since.

I actually used to be able to use the browser based messenger to talk to friends but that has been broken lately and now tries to force you to install the app - more dark patterns here (I don't want the app!).

Now I just ignore Facebook completely. I cringe when I need to open the site for some reason. I'm just happier without it.

I'd love some open source thing like this that was mine first and foremost, but I don't really need that either. I thought I needed social networking way more than I really do.

You can pop a tmobile SIM in the phone and they partially work, but Google Fi requires hardware support in the radio to work fully

It's not that they're blocking iOS, but more that iPhones don't support the network.

GLBA was enacted in the 90s and is a vague set of guidelines for financial and related industries to follow. I'm talking about real system regulation, down to the level of protocols.
Because they don't lose any of it for the breach. Market value will bounce right back. The company will merrily chug along like nothing happened and collectively the industry will go on working with Equifax because who else will they use?
Oh, my bad, I thought you were saying StubHub was a startup.
The article says they will no longer allow Touch ID to trust a computer, I imagine they also won't allow Face ID.

Not quite. You need those phones to activate service but you can move that sim into other phones later. Once you have service you can also get data-only sims that openly support all devices.
Actually that case would be detected as two objects on a collision course and car would stop/slow down. Mind that sensors scan surroundings with high frequency and some of them can see "beyond the walls" like radar. Ultrasonic sensors can also detect the state of road surface (dry, wet, icy etc.).
The promise of the internet, like the promise of reddit, google, facebook, etc seems to be dying right before our eyes.

It's quite eye opening how powerful the supporters of censorship have gotten.
You're comparing a relatively cheap credit report to a $400 million dollar airplane with a 15-25 billion euro program cost. Not to mention aerospace has a 100 years of innovation and has actual lives at stake. The internet, what 30ish years? Not to mention network security is a relatively new concern.
Nope. What you generally want is good recommendations. Star systems are just a rough initial estimate that often combines info you don't care about.

Vine-ripened tomatoes were cut by $1/lb at my store (from $2.99 to $1.99). The bulk rices all dropped, but I don't remember by how much.

Religious colleges are restricting speech mostly due to the religious nature of the institution though. A church isn't required to give equal time to atheists in its pulpit, and it's not "political" if the expulsion is due to differences in religious doctrine.

I wager that many of the expulsions at those colleges are due to said liberal holding a position counter to religious doctrine; like homosexuality is not immoral, or premarital sex is okay.

Exactly. And congress can fix it.
I was studying a degree I hated (a field of eng I had chosen only because the scholarship afforded me to study), I was failing more classes than I passed (I hated this the most as I was previously an overachiever), I was losing relationships, I had nothing to look forward to in my opinion. I thought about seriously ending it 3-5 times a day, often visiting the place I planned to do it.

It cumulated in a breakdown in 3rd year. A very understanding friend realised what I was going through and printed off every course our university offered. She highlighted the ones she thought I would be amazing at, and told me to just study what I enjoyed and the rest would follow. I chose computer science. I was very poor for a while, but I started making websites for fun, went well at uni and had more confidence in myself. Got an internship with a great startup and learned so much.

Cut to now, I'm a year out of uni and am a senior dev at a larger company, in a great relationship and really enjoy my life. I still work really hard not to fall into old destructive patterns, but I've definitely come a long way. Coming from rock bottom really shows you what you can shed, what really matters in life (doing what you love and loving the people in your life).

financial and social risk is just too much to handle for most people. they just won't do it.

nobody else is doing it

People tend not to try because they cannot embrace the intermediate feeling of "I f*ing suck at this."

When you embrace that you are not very good, you become the master. It is a tautology.
Yes, but when can the car proceed, and in which direction? Helps to know what a wheelchair, a woman and a chicken are and how they behave. Helps to be able to speak with them.

Superhuman sensors will be great, but you really can't dodge AGI for true full self-driving.
> I'm sorry, but genes clearly determine appearance.

Genes, along with other factors, contribute to appearance, but it is possible to be (for a pair of humans) relatively close in appearance and generically dissimilar, or vice versa.

Genetic similarity and appearance similarity aren't the same thing.
Have you heard the term moral hazard?
Because you and I do NOT pay for or directly use the product that contributes to the $3B. I can buy a phone and still avoid Apple. I can use the web and still avoid Google. I can avoid Facebook altogether (some argument as to wether I can actually avoid this). But if I want to use a credit card, buy a house, etc. I cannot escape Equifax.
There's something very disturbing about the fact that they can collect my personal information (without my approval); profit on that info (without compensating me); and then get hacked and I have no reasonable recourse for what they've done??

How can they not be liable? How is this not negligence?
This is why I love Apple.
