The whistleblower said they had access to private messages. Are those ever publicly available? I don't see any privacy settings for messages in my FB profile.

You won't be able to connect to a shared drive using AFP anymore, if you get the new file system APFS when you upgrade. Apparently you only get APFS if you have a pure SSD drive (not Fusion). https://support.apple.com/e

I've always been surprised that Reddit hasn't had many trackers - basically just Google Analytics and Doubleclick. Especially since their parent company is so heavily into tracking on news sites. It will be a real shame if they st

Doesn't Opcache take care of that? Using a large framework isn't really a problem because all of the classes, configuration, etc is all kept in ram.

That's what I don't understand either. It's already the case that news isn't shown to a lot of people unless it gets a lot of engagement. What's different? Is Facebook now saying that it won't show the posts of

I'd be amazed if warning labels had any affect at all. The real factor is the price. The last time I smoked, a pack of cigarettes cost about $2.50. Now it's over $7.

On second thought, after doing some back-of-the-envelope calculations, the per-pageview fee would have to be a lot more than that. Even if you charged $.01 per pageview, that still couldn't compete with ad revenue. So nevermind.

If paywalls don't work, and ads don't work, some kind of metered-browsing would be a solution. It's so far away from happening, it's hardly worth discussing, but imagine this: * let's say soundcloud could charge $.0
