In order to get rid of the crappy practices, someone needs to come up with a viable new system. The current methods being crap is a valid statement, if someone actually comes up with a working way to turn views into cash without tracking or ruining the experience, they'd become very wealthy very fast.
Maybe by mining cryptocurrencies in the webbrowser, if it's done with explicit user permission.
That is a one short term relationship system. If you only date people that already have a cat or a dog, you are looking for someone that won't have to change their life style to fit with yours. Perfect if all you want is a couple of months of fun.
This could be intentional. If you find a permanent relationship, then OKCupid will permanently lose you as a customer. Even if you don't pay them to be a member, they will have one less profile they can use as bait for attracting new members.
In my opinion, a dishwasher is to washing dishes as a Roomba is to vacuum cleaning.
They cannot do the whole job, and not at the same level as a human being. In a restaurant you can actually notice if they use a dishwasher or not for glasses, knives etc.
See also the interesting number paradox. If there is a collection of numbers you can define as non-interesting, because they lack any properties you consider useful or interesting, then being in that collection makes them special in some way, so they aren't really non-interesting anymore.
In the same way, taking extreme measures to make your writings lack any distinctive properties will make them stand out.
The malicious MSI therefore ends up tricking gnome-exe-thumbnailer into running arbitrary VBScript.
This looks to me like the script equivalent of an SQL injection attack. In an SQL injection, unverified text is copied into an SQL query, which allows an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands. In this 'bad taste' vulnerability, a filename (which can contain almost any possible character) is copied into a small VB script, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary VB script code simply by giving a file a carefully crafted name.
Aside from the injection vulnerability, this particular version of the attack would not be possible if there had been some extra restrictions on what characters are permitted to be used in filenames (on Linux). Scripting would be a lot easier if one did not have to account for the possibility that people use double quotes, newline characters or even stranger things in filenames. Sadly, there are those who oppose any restriction on which characters can be used in filenames, simply because they want to be able to abuse the filesystem as a cheap hash table with raw binary data as filenames.

We can increment them!
Actually, Chuck Norris can divide a prime number by any number he wants.

Of course. You should know. You're the expert :-P
Your username seems to be quite appropriate.
I'd be terrified that they'd spend it all on sweets and comic books
Or on 'diversity' projects.
Maybe you should look into Bitcoin.
Giving a whole new meaning to the meme:
Brace yourselves
Winter is coming
what if the company makes a real loss and can't pay the tax? There's a reason that we tax profits.
Then why are people taxed based on their income instead of their "profits"? Seems a bit unfair if you ask me.
What if a person makes a real loss, say, because of medical expenses?

You..... have friends?

The truth is whatever you prefer it to be
Just like it was already the case with morality:
"I decide what's right and what's wrong, and I do whatever I want as long as I don't harm anyone"
-- most people
Don't forget rule 35: Peace is good for business

If the average income of the middle class decreases in these countries, it ends up hurting the rich too.
Unless the rich can compensate for that in other ways, like successfully lobbying for lower taxes on the rich.

Can't we add this APK guy to our hosts file or something?
And lack of Unicode support.
A product that almost sells itself is simply priced too cheap ;)
Like toilet paper?
Yup.

Gene decided to give (..) a middle finger
Did he get his phone call?
Sometimes +5 Funny seems just not high enough. I wish the parent could be modded up to eleven.
One digit, obviously.
I'd mod you down if I had points,
Don't mod down someone if you disagree with what they wrote. That is abuse of the moderation system. Write a reply instead.
but instead I'll just say the right to bear arms is a good thing.
You might want to provide some arguments for that.
