Am I understanding correctly is that the primary blame on Facebook is in enabling apps (via API) to collect data? This stuff has unfortunately existed for years, no different from an Android "beautiful waterfall wallpapers" app th

If the task is "taking datasets and making them more searchable," it seems like that company gets the heat simply for making the task easier. Excel, SQL databases (or, heck, huge CSV files) don't get as much attention even th

Mac App Store is a fascinating topic! It seems to be a product nearly abandoned by Apple (not much improvement in years since the first release, unless you count sandboxing as one.) User experience is poor (takes seconds to load pages, also

From first-hand experience, Japanese apartments can be very tiny and pack a lot in a small space. Something like ~20 m^2 / 250 ft^2 range. E.g. see photos here: https://apartments.gaijinpot.com/en/rent/view&#x
