Here's Zuckerberg's response in which he "shares some more context around the decisions we made": https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10105559172610321

Quick textual analysis: in a pithy 623-word statement, Zuck manages to mention "shady", "sketchy" or "abusive apps" no less than 7 times. 8 times, if you include the time he mentioned Cambridge Analytica without using a sketchy adjective.

Notice the spin as Facebook the White Knight protecting the public from the evils of sketchy apps. Unclear how this will play out given public losing trust in Facebook itself.

[Reference]

1. "some developers built shady apps that abused people's data"

2. "to prevent abusive apps"

3. "a lot of sketchy apps -- like the quiz app that sold data to Cambridge Analytica"

4. "Some of the developers whose sketchy apps were kicked off our platform sued us"

5. "we were focusing on preventing abusive apps"

6. "mentioned above that we blocked a lot of sketchy apps"

7. "We've focused on preventing abusive apps for years"

8. "this was the change required to prevent the situation with Cambridge Analytica"
Not bad at all, especially considering you would only need very coarse grained data, and not even that often.

I’m curious, what features are you missing? Support is always going to be a bit different with open source products, but I’m sure there’s companies that’ll give you a support contract worth more than the equivalent from MS or Oracle.

I find it funny that people care about the equipment a photo is taken on. Those photos are taken by professional photographers with professional lighting setups and professional models. I subscribe to Ken Rockwell's belief that you don't need a fancy camera to take a good photo, you just need to be a good photographer [0].

I used to sell cameras in high school/college, and ALWAYS steered people away from DSLRs/high megapixel cameras that flaunt the quality of their cameras. Likely, those people will never get close to needing a high-quality camera's features, and their purchase of one would almost always result in a return.

I suspect it has to do with die area and yield.

Also, a hard drive head and electronics has to be made once for each platter, so its cost does not scale with the number of bits on the platter.
I have Google routinely deciding that I didn't mean to use ALL three words I searched for and "helpfully" dropping them. Sure, I can tell it "no, I really want those", but the experience is definitely becoming more and more sub-par for me. As bad is when a search doesn't give me what I want, so I narrow it, only to find that Google uses my previous search to decide what I want to see so I still end up finding similar results.

I remember when Google blew us away with Page Rank (goodbye Alta Vista!), but in the last few years Google has gotten so good on providing entry-level information that it's useless for finding specifics, so I expect the next Big Thing in search to come along, though I have no idea how far out it is.
While indeed advanced I find it's focus on reliably and ACID are more useful than triggers or extensions. Triggers increase write load and extensions aren't available on all hosting services. Replication, interchangable storage, and standard SQL/PL support are getting better, but still lag competitors like MySQL.

I'm sure people around the world said something similar to "well, it's China and it's THEIR country, so that's up to them and we shouldn't be getting involved".
> You can't speak for that other person. Let them respond for themselves.

Sounds like you're more interested in competing with someone than talking about ideas.

...yes? Of course? I don't automatically dehumanize that hypothetical person for their deeds, whether I approve or not, or believe there should be consequences.

Makes a little more sense in the parent's position as well. An argument that is normally made to stop school start times from being set later is that the parents have jobs which require them to normally wake up the same time as their kids. Elementary school children obviously need this parental help in the morning much more than high school students who can even possibly get to school by themselves by driving or simply being self-sufficient enough to walk to the bus stop.

I recently went through a major liquidity event myself a few months ago (Wombat Security Technologies). Here are some things my wife and I have done:

- Get a financial advisor. Make sure that they have fiduciary responsibility, that their job is to help you, rather than just fees. Talk to several different ones and find one that you're comfortable with. Note that you will eventually have to spend a fair amount of time learning about all the different kinds of investments that are out there. One surprise for me: I already knew about diversifying your portfolio, but had previously only heard about doing that based on assets. It's also useful to diversify over time too, that is slowly add more investments over time, rather than doing it all at once (since that's timing the market, and you might get lucky, and you might not).

- Get an accountant. You will absolutely need one to handle the taxes.

- Read up on Qualified Small Business Stock. If your company and length of your stock ownership qualify, it could be a quite large benefit for you regarding taxes.

- Set up a Donor Advised Fund. Ok, it's probably too late if you already got the money in the bank, but this would let you donate the stock in a way that would save you a lot on taxes, and allow you to direct money to charities you and your family care about.

- Get this book: Silver Spoon Kids. Our financial advisor got this for us, and I found it incredibly helpful as to how to talk to kids about money, especially to make sure that they don't end messed up. This can be quite common among financially well-off folks.

- Set up a last will and testament. This should be done after you have kids. It's no longer just about you, you have your kids to think about, and what happens if both parents meet an untimely end. You will want a probate lawyer to go through this process.

- Max out your insurance, ie auto, home, etc. People with money can sometimes be targets for lawsuits, for a variety of reasons. Maxing out insurance will help with a lot of things.

- Also echoing a lot of the previous advice, take things slow. Don't make any rush judgements or investments. Time is on your side, and besides taxes, there's no rush here. The interest you would get from just a money market fund will be ridiculous.

Also, the big surprise for me? Well, as you can see above, managing a windfall is actually a lot of work. But think of it as an upfront investment, to make sure that things go more smoothly later on.

Good luck!

For you or anyone else who is looking for hobbies, there is an enormous universe of amazing projects that desperately need volunteers with modest levels of skill.

I run a small science fiction magazine with some friends and we're always looking for support to help this project grow. What we need most is volunteers who can commit enough time to learn the ropes and move the project forward - it's hard to find anyone who can commit more than an hour or two a week.

Pick literally anything that you are interested in, and there's likely a community of people trying to do interesting things in that field. All you have to do is reach out! So, go get 'em.

You have the freedom to chose what you do with your time, but that freedom could become crippling if you don't fill it with something that you find meaningful/fulfilling.

Everyone knew about this for many years. Interactive transponders are quite old (late 90s? early 2000s?) and were designed to mitigate attacks like this one (because the user has to interact with the transponder, i.e. press the button it has for it to work, all passive attacks fail).

Facebook probably would charge users directly if it were acceptable to do so. Unfortunately (in my opinion) the optics around providing that choice would be even worse than not providing that choice at all. People would portray this as akin to racketeering, making users cough up the dough if they don't want to be tracked. Ironically, concern over Facebook's data collection inhibits their ability to explore direct monetization methods.

Also, the value of this information isn't secret: Google and Facebook are public companies and publish their revenue numbers, no? It's not hard to divide by the number of active users to get an average value per user.
How would that affect battery life?

To you and me, changing the batteries in a key fob isn't a big deal. But more than once I've seen people walk into the auto dealer's repair center because their fob stopped working, and all the tech did to repair it is replace the battery.

(If you think that sounds stupid, I work in healthcare, and we have employees who spend a surprising amount of time teaching people how to put AA batteries in their blood pressure and other medical gadgets.)
The demise of Geocities (in 2009, much later than I imagined) has caused a mass migration of these types of sites to places like Tumblr, whose search functionality leaves a lot to be desired.
It looks like the chips are about $10 each. That's quantity 1 but it's also just the radio IC. It's not immediately obvious what the power draw would look like in an application like this as the sleep mode draws far less power than when it's operating. There is an open source project based on the chip. https://github.com/lab11/polypoint

What I'd really like to be able to do is to wirelessly tether a Tile-like small long battery life device to a band (or watch) I wear with user configurable distance settings but it doesn't look like the tech is quite there today. UWB does seem to be the current approach you'd take though.
NAND demand is insanely high. You aren't just building computer SSDs, you have phones, in particular, and hundreds of other devices that use it competing for the manufacturing capacity.

Another issue with demand is IOPS. Enterprise is rarely limited by storage capacity, but instead by reliable operations per second. Pretty much every enterprise wants every SSD it can get at the right price point, which is much higher than consumers will pay. For the time being it will be worthwhile for NAND makers to sell drives to companies at a much higher price point.
I don't think its even a part of the standard model, still just a hypothesis.

Cyberthreats Under the Bed
We had a brave school superintendent a few years ago who tried to get our local high school started at 9 a.m. instead of the traditional much earlier start. (Classes at 8 a.m., with many extra-curricular activities like band practice and swim practice at 7 a.m.) This is in the western U.S.

All the sleep-cycle research is on his side. And he was friendly, focused and persistent. But his campaign failed.

A later school start would have cut into the available daylight for after-school sports practices and events. Perhaps 30% of students participated in these, and perhaps 10% in total (or their parents!) were adamant that anything that short-changed the football team was an evil that needed to be stopped.

Still, the don't-do-it crowd was vocal and implacable. Eventually everyone else gave up. So high school students continue to get out of bed, very groggy, at a time that's too early for them, and struggle to get a grip on their morning classes. We wouldn't have it any other way.

I go through HDDs very quickly. I know that for development and most uses bigger HDDs are unnecessary, but for media production these improvements are really valuable.

"sensitive"

sensitive according to whom? what morals? what ideology? I'm not hurting my own feeling as a black man every time I use "blacklist" or "slave" in a specific context that is even explained in a dictionary, why are you trying to force your political beliefs (because that's what it is) on me? why are you constantly patronizing me? that I indeed find it offensive. I'm not going to change the canonical definition of the words I use to please you.

- When you deal with unavailability, you can't point to the PostgreSQL support SLA's four hour response and tell your boss "not our problem".

- It's harder to justify larger budgets for your IT fiefdom and thus your sense of self-importance when you don't pay for unnecessary license fees.

Don't do anything sudden, as others have said. But as you start to adjust to this, you may realize that there is something, or a few things, that you have wanted to do, but never could because of money. That place you wanted to go on your honeymoon, but it would have cost $2000 more than you could afford? You can go there now, on a second honeymoon. Take in a game at Yankee Stadium, even though you live in the Bay Area? You can do that now.

There may be several such things. Most of them don't take that much money (from your current perspective). Pick one of them and do it. (Note well: don't go do everything that you've ever wanted to do but couldn't afford to do. As I said, pick one.) You don't have to do it right away. It can wait a month, or a year, until it's sunk in that it's OK to spend a bit more money than I used to. Not a lot - you don't want to drastically change your lifestyle. But you also want to have some benefit from the money. When you've adjusted to the point that you feel free to spend $2K or $10K on something that you've wanted to do, but couldn't, well, go do that.

And now a negative: Pay attention to your marriage. As others have said, spend time with your kids, but don't forget your marriage. Bluntly, your wife can now afford to divorce you. Do your best to see that she never wants to.
Don’t donate it. That would be rash. You can always donate down the line once you’ve wrapped your mind around it.

Depending on your lifestyle you should be able to basically retire. A decent rule of thumb is 4% (maybe less) income on conservative investments, so that should get you around $300,000/year in income if you just take a deep breath and learn the basics.

Lots of advice on this thread is good, definitely put it somewhere safe and get your bearings.

Also, this windfall means your kids can graduate college with no student loan debt, that’s worth something.

Definitely be chill, read all the advice, do basically nothing, read all the advice again, and start to figure out what matters to you. How do you want to live your life for the next couple of decades?

And what does your wife want? That matters, I imagine.

Edit: the implied assumption of this and many other posts here is “don’t spend your capital.” Start there. Preserve that 8million, never spend (including donate) any of it. Use it to make interest in a conservative manner which you can spend as you like. (Including donating to the needy)
Apple's business isn't selling chips, it's selling devices. If they're putting competitors' software on their chips, what advantage does that offer their own devices? None, aside from the OS, and that's never been Apple's value proposition; rather, it's the integration of hardware and software only possible by doing as much of both as possible, not by licensing.

Therefore, "Agree to disagree" doesn't apply. It simply doesn't follow. Apple isn't a chip vendor; it makes chips as a form of competitive advantage. This isn't a matter of opinion.
Including audits with threats to pay ever increasing amounts every year?
Here's an argument:

If you think about it, "mass" actually means two different things. One one hand, there is mass as the "charge" of gravitational interaction, that is, the gravitational field generated by a body is proportional to its mass. Let's call this concept "gravitational mass". On the other hand, you have mass in the sense of "intertial mass", a body's resistance to change of velocity. Although we kinda take it for granted, it's weird that these two concepts coincide, and not something that would be necessarily true a priori.

Asserting this equivalence as a principle is the starting point for Einstein's theory of General Relativity, which is one of the most beautiful and thoroughly tested theories in modern physics.

On the other hand, you can show that the inertial mass cannot be negative (else the Lagrangian would not be bounded from below and therefore you could not minimise it; the whole of physics then comes crumbling down). Therefore, if that equivalence stands, the gravitational mass also cannot be negative.
For general file storage spinning disk HDD are still better cost, but there is a decreasing need for general file storage for the average person. For most people one terabyte is more than enough and it may as well be an SSD that is also their boot drive.

Personally I'd love to replace my multiple 2TB drives with 8TB drives if the price comes down a bit.
From TFA:

>The Exos 16 TB hard drive using HAMR technology is now the world’s biggest HDD in terms of capacity overtaking the 14 TB Barracuda Pro.

>HAMR, which is the acronym for heat-assisted magnetic recording, to be precise. This replaces the regular PMR, perpendicular magnetic recording, found in most HDDs. To the average consumer, this doesn’t mean much at all. However, Seagate believes that HAMR is the key to making significantly larger capacities readily available shortly.
I would add:

- Public search for sources of other people's breached personal data via monitor.firefox.com (eg, you can enter anyone's email and see results, and not just your own, as there's no verification that you own the email until you sign up for continuous alerting)

That said, I love Firefox itself and think Mozilla usually try to do the right thing. Someone just lost the security vs usability debate there I guess.

Apparently informing people who won't check their email for a link but will enter their email into a form trumps protecting people who don't know the site exists from stalkers and other malicious actors.
