They've been showing me that banner for a while. In fact, they stopped showing it to me about a week ago. Are your sure it's related?
This is 100% the banner I have received. The call to action directs you to this page: https://www.facebook.com/help/2687943754764396?ref=comms Which is the issue at hand.
Okay. That's very deceptive of Facebook.
Also, it's "100%" the banner I saw for several days last week. Make of that what you will. I didn't click it so I don't know what it pointed towards.
I thought you were referring to another post with "Mark". It's ok to call him Mr. Zuckerberg, since most of us don't know him personally.
I had no trouble understanding that "Mark" meant "Mark Zuckerberg" given the thread about Facebook and the comment branch about him. I don't think "Mr. Zuckerberg" is warranted on HN.
When I interviewed at Nest a few years ago, people kept telling me what Tony said or believes. You know, Tony. It's just an awkward way to refer to a 3rd party, unless they're in the discussion.
I think i'd just much rather spend the short time I've got left in my one existence doing things outside of work that actually make me happy and fulfilled, than being exploited for the benefit of the mostly rich and powerful and the illusion of "progress". If you truly get fulfillment from that stuff then more power to you, but I don't think the vast majority of people who are pressured to perform do. Just because we…
> I think i'd just much rather spend the short time I've got left in my one existence doing things outside of work Okay. That's your choice. But having made this choice, don't complain when those of us who choose to devote more time to work receive greater rewards. There's nothing wrong with paying for performance.
Of course there is. If you are working 12 hours a day, how am I with my paltry 8 hours ever going to be considered for a promotion? I quite need it to keep feeding my family after all.
I can’t stop my bosses from judging based on time spent working (which is silly, but hey, we’re all human), but I sure can try to stop my coworkers from subscribing to such insane work hours.
I work at a company like this. In fact, I need permission from my manager's manager's manager in order to stay past 7pm. This company believes in a strong work-life balance, and this is one of the ways it achieves this. Also, it "changes the world" in good ways, not by "connecting people" through bogus data siphoning addiction traps.
If you did, do you get fired? Genuinely curious: what happens? Personally I strongly prefer no fixed working hours. If you want to work at night, so that you can do things when it’s light out (especially in winter), and you still get the expected results, what’s wrong with that?
I think the conversation above was more about people who put in very long hours because they're passionate and so forth, or they're obliged, or whatever the reason the 'company culture' is a certain way. I think flexible hours that you describe is a far more popular idea (and probably a good one if you ask me).
Its sad that everytime there is a post about Facebook the comments are extremely toxic and negative, and don't really even discuss the article itself. I would argue that 80% of all tech companies are doing close to 0 in making the world a 'better place'.
Facebook's goal: Connect all the people Google's goal: Organize all the information Amazon's goal: Sell all the merchandise ----------- Taken at face value, all those companies were/are all trying to make the world a better place in the ways available to them. But when the externalities of those goals affect other people, they will become hated. Everyone has a different opinion of what 'better' means. Since giant com…
They logged me out of all my accounts and now I can't log back in because of their ridiculous 2FA setup. I never provided them my phone number, so they need me to use their code generator via an active login...except of course I no longer have any active logins. This is the most ridiculous possible edge case for a $X00B firm. #SoftwareIsHard
Excerpts from the press call transcript [1] by Guy Rosen explaining what lead to this breach being possible: > The first bug was that, when using the View As function to look at your profile as another person would, the video uploader shouldn’t have actually shown up at all. But in a very specific case, on certain types of posts that are encouraging people to post happy birthday greetings, it did show up. > The secon…
Just as Microsoft developed Patch Tuesday, Facebook should have Forced Logoff Friday
Ethical consumption is a dead end. You can't even buy slavery-free clothing or food reliably.
You're being an apologist for slavery? Alright then, where do we draw the line? Can I go buy a person? If not, can I invade Sudan?[1] > Ethical consumption is a dead end. Should we give up even thinking about it and just do whatever is most convenient? Will that solve all our problems? You know Amazon treats its employees like disposable shit. If you buy from them anyway you are putting your self-love above the love…
I'm not defending slavery. I'm saying that if you buy food or clothing you almost certainly are buying goods that used slave labor in the supply chain, whether or not you're aware of it. Ethical consumption is impossible and trying to whip people to do it is a distraction from actual solutions, which would involve state intervention.
they havent monopolized talent, they pay for talent. Facebook paying high salaries has increased all of our pay, equity etc, whether you work there or not. The only thing this may be bad for is founders who are in a zero sum competition with FB for talent and now need to spend more money and equity to get it.
Wasn't Facebook part of the class action lawsuit that sought to supress wages and colluded in anti-poaching between Intel, Apple, Microsoft, and Adobe? They may pay more, but they collude to make sure people couldn't leave without going far outside the bay. That's a monopolistic trait. I agree they weren't putting a gun to people's heads but they were making the environment less available.
I don’t think Facebook was part of that group. More importantly though, it was in the aftermath of that, where large companies started more aggressively poaching employees, that large company compensation ballooned and startups started to complain about the top large companies hogging talent.
Until they can provide some data that say the 50 million number is a fact, I don't believe it's that low. Every breach starts out on the low end, and miraculously ends up being double or triple as they do "more research" and the initial anger dies down.
I'm pretty sure they logged out more than <5% (90m of 2B) of their users, because of the people I talk to on a daily basis on Messenger like well over 2/3s got logged out. I could see if they meant 90m of American users or something.
Why the downvotes ? This is important data, and no one gave this information in the whole thread.
