Eh, you can choose to believe Zuckerberg here. I personally have no faith Facebook will voluntarily permanently delete someone's data when they close an account. They have shown ve…

If you feel so guilty about how little your nanny makes, so much so that you're pulling tags off everything you buy, maybe it's not a bad idea to pay your nanny a little above the …

Perhaps the attitude of measuring the good-ness of a chat client solely on how much memory it uses is one of the main contributors to the rise in popularity of Slack and the declin…

It was pretty clear he was talking about his own experiences. Does he need evidence to justify his claim that management also abused their powers?

Intent matters (in ethical considerations, anyway). Intentionally making mistakes to conceal your automation is on a completely different level than unintentional mistakes made whe…

Do you work on services that are expected to be working 24/7? It's not exactly uncommon for a production service to have problems and need to be fixed ASAP.

It's not a local issue when a multinational organization is doing the same thing across an entire country. Then it's rightly a federal issue.

How is it an overreach to define finding who is a LEO and feeding them false information to deceive them and waste their time as obstruction of justice?

So they misled investigators throughout multiple cities across the United States. Therefore, it's a federal issue. This really isn't that hard to understand.

A real criminal investigation probably isn't going to be satisfied with the lowly coder. If this ends up going all the way, I would expect people high up to be punished.

If you do that with the intention of passing through a checkpoint to hide your contraband, why shouldn't that be a crime?

There doesn't need to be an actual crime. There needs to be an investigation of an actual crime. One which seems to have been taking place. Also, given how often Uber is brought up…

It's also the most important thing. If your culture is bad, changing what tool you use isn't going to fix everything. You're just going to have a new tool everyone uses poorly.

You're never going to move large groups of people by just yelling "xxx is terrible!" You have to make something better that people want to use to get them to switch. Unfortunately,…

Not really. Once they get discovered and reported on a supported browser, it sounds like they'd be routed to the team. Theoretically, bugs could exist in supported browsers that on…

He's proven he's willing to enact executive orders with no notice which bar legal immigrants from entering the country. So we've got action against immigrants already. Not just pla…

> Apparently, the father-to-be realised his film was streaming publicly on social media about 30 minutes into recording, but decided to leave it that way. It would be one thing if …

If the fun people had with Wii Sports was worth $200 to them (or whatever the Wii cost), then who cares if they only bought the console for that one game?

What risk? Yahoo failed, but Marissa Mayer made out with millions of dollars. Seems like a no-risk endeavor to me.

> Their net worth is none of your business. But net worth has everything to do with risk. A person worth $1 million putting up all $1 million is risking everything he has. A person…

By design.

Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/793/ I think it's really easy to look at something from the outside and think "how hard could that really be?" I bet if you asked someone who wasn't…

It seems like the two topics are correctly being linked. Airbnb is trying to use arbitration clauses to avoid having to answer any questions about large-scale discrimination. Why s…

There's a difference between a decision being made for a moral/ethical reason that happens to be in line with shareholders and a decision being made only to appease shareholders. G…
