I have friends who work at Facebook. I still don't know how they rationalize their employment.
I don't know about them, but I know someone from a different company who has it all figured out. Every time their company does something nasty, they just donate to the EFF. Must be nice to have it wrapped up all tidy like.

Really simple. They need to pay their bills. I'm sure your frinds rather be working for some project that would make the world better (hey Linux, I'm at you!:) But, still, they have to pay bills. That's life. Don't like it? Change it.
I've never bought the excuse about "needing to pay the bills". If you are wiling to compromise your convictions for money, how strong are those convictions in the first place. It reminds me of a friend of mine whose wife works for the TSA at the airport. Honestly, I have zero respect for her, but hey, at least she can pay her mortgage right?

I have to admit it is quite astonishing to see someone denying climate change is a huge issue on a site dedicated to computer-logic based businesses that are future-focused, a site populated by many under 30. Climate change is the primary challenge for the next few generations, and once we move on from 'debate' we see that there are a wealth of opportunities in mitigation, reduction of CO2 output and coping with the…
I emphatically disagree with the "overwhelming judgement of science" when it comes to this issue. And I'm thoroughly disgusted by the profiteering that accompanies the global warming campaign.

Let's go back even further, to 1900... http://woodfortrees.org/plot/hadcrut4gl/from:1900/to The upward trend in temperature is clear, the question then becomes why it is happening. What is your theory on this?
The instagram TOS debacle some weeks ago was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I recently stopped using Instagram, and requested account deletion from Facebook. Graph search and its creepy implications were then nothing I needed to find personally objectionable anymore. I no longer have to complain about the other sleazy, move-the-goalposts, amoral aspects of Facebook Instagram. This latest one, I have to…
Yet here you are...

Do you ask to cover the license number/address as well, the way Facebook.com does? If yes, doesn't it make it trivially easy to send a fake picture of a license your way?

Mike, how can you be a "software engineer" and make a statement like that?
