Eh, you can choose to believe Zuckerberg here. I personally have no faith Facebook will voluntarily permanently delete someone's data when they close an account. They have shown very little prior behavior that would lead me to find his

If you feel so guilty about how little your nanny makes, so much so that you're pulling tags off everything you buy, maybe it's not a bad idea to pay your nanny a little above the going rate. Partially for your own sake as well as

Perhaps the attitude of measuring the good-ness of a chat client solely on how much memory it uses is one of the main contributors to the rise in popularity of Slack and the decline in popularity of IRC. I personally don't care if my c

It was pretty clear he was talking about his own experiences. Does he need evidence to justify his claim that management also abused their powers?

Do you work on services that are expected to be working 24/7? It's not exactly uncommon for a production service to have problems and need to be fixed ASAP.

It's not a local issue when a multinational organization is doing the same thing across an entire country. Then it's rightly a federal issue.

How is it an overreach to define finding who is a LEO and feeding them false information to deceive them and waste their time as obstruction of justice?

So they misled investigators throughout multiple cities across the United States. Therefore, it's a federal issue. This really isn't that hard to understand.

If you do that with the intention of passing through a checkpoint to hide your contraband, why shouldn't that be a crime?

There doesn't need to be an actual crime. There needs to be an investigation of an actual crime. One which seems to have been taking place. Also, given how often Uber is brought up in these forums for ignoring/breaking local law

It's also the most important thing. If your culture is bad, changing what tool you use isn't going to fix everything. You're just going to have a new tool everyone uses poorly.

You're never going to move large groups of people by just yelling "xxx is terrible!" You have to make something better that people want to use to get them to switch. Unfortunately, Slack is better than IRC in many ways that m

Not really. Once they get discovered and reported on a supported browser, it sounds like they'd be routed to the team. Theoretically, bugs could exist in supported browsers that only get reported in unsupported browsers, but you'd

He's proven he's willing to enact executive orders with no notice which bar legal immigrants from entering the country. So we've got action against immigrants already. Not just plans.

If the fun people had with Wii Sports was worth $200 to them (or whatever the Wii cost), then who cares if they only bought the console for that one game?

What risk? Yahoo failed, but Marissa Mayer made out with millions of dollars. Seems like a no-risk endeavor to me.

It seems like the two topics are correctly being linked. Airbnb is trying to use arbitration clauses to avoid having to answer any questions about large-scale discrimination. Why should it be talked about in a vacuum?

There's a difference between a decision being made for a moral/ethical reason that happens to be in line with shareholders and a decision being made only to appease shareholders. Given how hard it is to determine if any one decisi

I hate this argument that companies are completely void of all emotion. You could just as easily say that no one cares about privacy and that taking a stand is a bad financial decision. Given the amount of bad press Apple got for their stan

You can pry my cheap $5 headphones from my cold, dead fingers. No way am I paying $150+ for something I'm likely to lose several times a year.

Ah, the Apple way. That problem we just created for you? Here's a dongle to solve it. That'll be an extra $10 (if you're lucky). You're welcome.
