Kind of like everyone has a Google account, either through personal gmail-esque services, a google-for-education account, an android device, a Google IoT device, their work account, etc.

Do you trust Facebook to adhere to their publicly stated privacy policy? Do you think they have honored those policies in the past?
Yes. Definitely.
> Do you think they have honored those policies in the past?
I believe they have though I have not been at Facebook very long so I don't have full visibility on this. But I don't think that's the most important question. The most important question is: were these policies strong enough? The answer is definitely no and that's why the company is pivoting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtxPdezclYw&feature=youtu.be
I know there probably won't be much actual discussion on anything but privacy concerns here on HN (don't get me wrong, it's an important discussion to have, but it tends to push out literally everything else), but I did want to point out that this quote from the article is nice to see: >We’ve done what we can in this latest generation of products, now with integrated camera covers that are hardware, indicator lights…
Of course, given a choice, I'd prefer to have fewer cameras pointed at me.
I'm sure lots of smart people spent a lot of time and effort working on this, but unfortunately my answer is: Hell no!

So you were on a team of people all working on the same R-CNN? What was that like? How was work divided and what was the dynamic?

> lots of smart people spent a lot of time and effort working on this That's unfortunately true of a lot of undesirable things. Ad tech, trackers, robocall software, nicotine, wacky inflatable tube guy, large swaths of law and politics... Wouldn't it be great if we all worked on good things? The whole hill climbing / gradient ascent algorithm this planet is running would work a lot faster.
