Well, the promise is a kind of drag-and-drop [1], mix-and-match [2], transform these data fields this way, make a decision off of these other data fields, and ship it there kind of integration. Extra points for having a Store for others' components [3], and optionally doing it in the Cloud [4]. Their site has been tailored to convert executive-types on every buzzword, from Microservices [5] to DevOps [6] to Mobile [7].

Whether this works out is entirely dependent on your org: it still requires competent people wiring up things -- much to management's chagrin -- but it can save a fair bit of time. Tradeoffs all around.

Mule basically started off with an ESB [8] that's a glorified reactor queue and a bunch of canned components of varying qualities that either implement an EIP primitive [9], or some domain-specific templated executor (make SQL calls, make API calls, etc). Now there's a whole ecosystem around it: a marketplace of components, an API proxy, management and monitoring layers, and fancy GUIs. The tools are (mostly) solid -- no more and no less than any other big-name commercial tool, but I'd venture to guess a lot of businesses buy this thinking it's going to be The Silver Bullet they're looking for, and it predictably rarely works that way.

I agree with you. Vulgarity is justified despite what this place has to say about it.

This is something I also noticed about these articles. Some of them not even mention the name of the person, and most of them go into details about self driving cars and stuff. Also most people here..Of course people die everyday. But when you are talking about a specific incident, please don't treat the person involved as if they were just an inanimate object...
Sure, the margin was slim, but Hillary has no one to blame but herself. Scapegoating Facebook keeps all of Hillary’s misdeeds out of the limelight. Perhaps if she was a better candidate I wouldn’t have wrote in Bernie. I, for one, am happy to have Trump over her.

Edit: ah yes, let me feel the downvotes hackernews. We can’t have anyone disliking Hillary here!
A fair bit of the point (and much the discussion of the quote's origins, which, again, I've rather pointedly linked) is the notion that the crime is not obvious, but of an undiscovered crime. As in the (translated) version of an actual Balzac version of the concept:

"The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been found out, because it was properly executed."

The concept is metaphorical, but it is not without any merits. And there may be other elements, either on their own or in addition to, that crime, which accounts for the wealth. Blind luck (or some measure of luck-and-skill) being among the less-accounted-for in many instances.

As to the list you present, I see among the several monopolists, operators in corrupt countries, gambling and gaming, coal and fossil fuels industries, advertising, and financial services, numerous fairly obvious crimes, in at least a moral sense, though yes, also, quite often literally criminal.

Why do we need a social network with so many people on it? What is the unique utility of Facebook? The ability to monitor and feel a vague sense of presence from the periphery of your social sphere?

It's definitely not about social fulfillment.
> The only real difference between what was done here and then was how it was represented to the users.

That is an incredibly important distinction. There is a vast gulf between "these people asked for my data and I consented to its use" and "these people surreptitiously collected my data for purposes other than those which they disclosed."
You can try to estimate the interference at 50Hz or 60Hz from the electric current from the wall. It's usually better to add some additional cables to grounds and shedding to reduce it as much as possible. But if everything fails, it's a nice stable that it's easy to subtract. [Protip: If your "signal" is too nice, check that the frequency is not 50Hz or 60Hz.]

But the article is about an article that tries to calculate and subtract the thermal noise, that is not nice at all.

> More people than you think are happy to share more than passive metadata.

I'm aware of that. I used to be like your friends because I love technology. Though I didn't know it's an opt-in since I haven't seen those notifications. Maybe I missed it?

Even so, how do I make sure the data is not going to be misused? I practically not be able to do anything that I think I can to prevent data misuse. They collect my data even after I said no.[1]

Plus, those so-called passive metadata are more objective and valuable than the data you actively submit to them, don't you think? I can hardly fake these kinds of data, just like you don't ask what lab rats think, you run tests on them and then just observe how they are gonna react.

Giving away those data with good intentions doesn't necessarily mean it won't harm others in some other way. I have things to hide, especially with data companies thriving.

I was afraid of Google supporters' hostile attitudes against me or Google might consider this feature could heat up privacy concerns then kill it. (Very unlikely, because I'm nobody. :D) I find this feature is thoughtful and useful, I'm too selfish to watch it die. Besides, killing it doesn't do any good to the public, on the contrary, it will become less transparent how they are going to use user's data. I brought up this issue only because, with this whole FB scandal thing happening, I feel the public is playing favorites.
> I don’t really understand how there can exist any debt that can’t be bankrupted, apart from federal treasuries.

Because it's debt to get a degree. I don't agree necessarily but the idea is that students would get large loans, go to schools, get a degree, then declare bankruptcy.

I think the GP comments makes a good point that large loans would be harder to get if all of the sudden they knew bankruptcy option is going to considered after graduation.

There was no “Russian meddling” in the election. Stop parroting nonsense without evidence.

Hillary did cheat though. Her campaign directly collaborated with correct the record - last time I checked coordinating with a super pac was illegal. She also directly worked with the media to spread progaganda.

Thank god Trump won. Hillary would have been more of the same.

If you don't want to do food prep, or you don't care for traditional high fat, moderate protein, low carb food options, you can get meal replacement shakes.

I prefer KetoChow, rotate through several different flavors, and it costs me ~$3/meal. It take 5-10 minutes of prep every 2-3 days (fill blender bottles with heavy whipping cream, ketochow powder, water, shake, toss in fridge). At 5' 6", I went from ~180 lbs to ~155 lbs. I don't need to work out, I maintain a healthy weight, and it's both affordable and non-time intensive.

Otherwise, cut breads, sugars, and liquid calories (regular soda & beer) out of your diet. I know people who eat primarily meats, cheeses, and green veggies, and they feel better than they ever have and quickly shed any excess fat without exercise.
Quite literally his campaign invented the tactic of scraping your friends list as a way to persuade voters. The important difference was CA used data that was gathered under the misleading guise of a personality quiz.

A couple issues with that statement:

(1) The issue is not getting the data of the people who used the app, it's the millions of their friends who were included. This is what's being implied should be thought of as a "breach" (with the media trying its darndest to make it look like Trump himself downloaded all the data into a big CSV file while laughing)

(2) Regardless of the reason for the permission being asked, the resulting dataset was collected in both instances. So I equate the outcome in my mind.
I know many people who care but they think they can "outsmart" Facebook by having workarounds for its annoying and evil nature. They do it by not giving it their permission to access the address book, location, nude pictures, etc. They told me to "just deny Facebook's request to..." It bugged the fuck out of me and I wrote about it last year [1].

They think they can befriend an evil person who they know too well would stab them in the back. They think that they are stronger and more intelligent than the evil friend.

The proper answer is that if you think a friend of yours is a shitty person, then don't befriend them anymore. If you don't like what the fuck Facebook does, then just don't have a Facebook account. It's an inconvenience in the short term because you can't talk to some of your friends, sure. But if you have it and invent those workarounds and ask me to install that piece of shit so I can talk to you, then you complicit with it and make my life shitty too. When I realized that, I realized that's exactly what Stallman meant when he talked about proprietary software -- which is what he doesn't agree with.

Brian Acton's post[0] about the Signal Foundation[1] makes it sound like they could play in the same space as Facebook:

> Of course, this is just the beginning. There is a lot of work to be done to make our dream a reality and we will continually be asking our peers, our community, and ourselves if there are more effective ways to serve the public good. In the immediate future we are focused on adding to our talented-but-small team and improving Signal Messenger. Our long-term vision is for the Signal Foundation to provide multiple offerings that align with our core mission. That will come in time.

The tagline on the foundations splash page, To develop open source privacy technology that protects free expression sounds like it could mean a facebook type thingamajig, since what is FB but providing free expression to the masses?

It’s a socioeconomic awareness. If you’re worried about food you don’t care. Facebooks 99% are the poorest and least educated.

I’ve always wondered why face book, a platform which could unify teachers from mit with the poorest students across the globe has never done shit to do so.

They claim to “connect the globe” but the haven’t connected anything.

Where is the teacher hosting a class where any single person from fbs vast user base can connect?

Fucking unreal.

Facebook could have become the global educational foundation with their platform at this point.

But it’s just a circlejerk.
Disclosure: I bought more FB today

You covered the fundamental reason why Facebook _could_ suffer from this but I believe it won’t. Uber is very easy to ditch because it has well-known competitors that are just or almost as good and readily available. And uber doesn’t have years of photos, friends and interactions that I’d be losing.

We've established beyond a doubt by now that there was, in fact, "Russian meddling" in the election. It's incredible that someone could still deny this.
I agree with your thesis on the importance of the invention.

More abstract (and international) money and blockchain rules will be huge advances, fully agreed. Less corruption, more stability, these things I believe will finally allow us to set systems up to provide resources with efficiency we haven't been able to before and this is huge.

Where I get off is is thinking it's some kind of libertarian revolution wresting control from the hands of government. I don't predict that. The way I see it, governments will be in the thick of it. But they (hopefully) will finally have to play by the rules.
The typical soldier's kit has been 70 lbs going back to Roman times.
I'd like you to elaborate more on the game theory aspect. My personal opinion along those lines is that people looked to Trump as a bull in a china shop. The "system" was so corrupt that the only solution was to send someone in who would wreck it from the inside. It would be disingenuous to be upset now that he's broken some plates. While I don't think this is the majority of Trump voters it anecdotally appears to be a significant portion of the avid/vocal supporters. I still think most of his votes came from the people who show up and vote R no matter what. But there was definitely a shade of, "FUCK YOU" from the voters to the government this election.
There's a group of rich people mentioned in this post and now they are telling their followers to delete FB _after_ getting rich. If we were to ask them how FB plans on making money when they started their involvement with the company, then monetizing user data would have been the answer.

This is something the world will just have to get used to. We're past the point of no return. As individuals, we can do a lot to protect our privacy, but it's a lot of work.

Most people i've seen move away from facebook ended up in instagram and whatsapp. So i'm not worried for the stock in the long term. They do however need to prepare for the post-instragram era. Not sure what it's going to be.

> People are able to interpret speech under very high levels of noise due to having strong priors / being able to guess well / having shared state with the speaker.

In the information theoretic sense, this just means there is enough redundancy in the signal that you can error correct the noise. If you’re in a noisy room talking to a coworker, your shared context and priors are really redundant bits of information. If she says something about “nachoes” but you couldn’t tell if she said “nachoes”, “tacos” or “broncos”, the nachoes next to you add redundancy to the signal.

So in that context, what you’re saying is that we should take advantage of any redundancy we can find in an incoming signal.

I totally believe this, and it makes me very angry.

Volunteer for service, suspend your civil rights, vow to defend the Constitution, develop the technical skills, physical ability, and mental toughness to serve in combat, and lay it all on the line for fellow soldiers -- and return to a universe of people who cannot identify Khandahar on a map, and think they are morally superior... well, I would have issues.

People voted for Trump, but that is hardly an indication of love. Consider that this prior election was between two of the most despised (and possibly incompetent) candidates in US presidential history.

If you don't want to repeat this fiasco stop supporting a divisive two party system. Yes, it was the internal mechanics of each party that picked candidates from the primaries opposed to actual voters. This has been proven with evidence for the Democrats and is likely true for the Republicans as well.

Remember that I knew a few people who managed to both work and go to school at the same time and pay the tuition with the salary. So they took longer to graduate (5-6 years) but graduated debt free. It was a state school in mid West not a fancy private school or anything like that.

> how would we make money from open source software

There are many existing examples, so this is clearly a solved problem already. You charge for support, or for feature requests, and so on. That's how SUSE and RedHat make their money.

The flaw with looking at proprietary software's monitisation is that it usually just boils down to "pay for the binary". This obviously won't work with free software, you need to charge for development rather than access (though you can also use a seat-based model where you only provide support for machines that have valid licenses).

(I work for SUSE.)
1) What makes you think I am from the woodwork?

2) Can you recall a time when a Facebook privacy story ever received so much media and government interest?

There was a time when apps would blindly request a bunch of permissions. Users would blindly accept them. Devs would store tokens in the database. One shoddy exploit later on the application and an attacker had all their photos, friends' photos, and could post and comment on various things impersonating the user.

I can't imagine how much harvesting was done by popular Facebook apps and games in those days.
