"the fundamental problem with Facebook, which is that the company derives far more value from users' activities than the users themselves do." I think you hit the nail on the head of this debate. You cannot operate like that without the government protecting you.
Last week my wife and I happened to be talking about deodorant. She sits down at her desktop and sees an ad about deodorant on Facebook. She was a bit unsettling as our entire discussion had been verbal.
Java is the new COBOL. People posting about the death of Java are partially correct. It will live on in Oracle mainframe applications long after we are dead.
....and will never have a significant base of developer talent to fill enterprise development seats. Its stuck being the choice for building sophisticated server software products that entrprises buy.
Doesnt anyone follow the industry?.NET Standard specificatio and its implementation,.NET Core are wide open. Mono is dead and people are building true cross platform applications in Xamarin Forms right now.
Who starts a new peoject in Java? We have C# which is actually fun to work with and is interoperable--becoming the defacto cross platform langauge of the world.
I manage to completely forget about Oracle until a stupid lawsuit or post about a lawsuit pops up on slashdot. Why in the fuck do people mod these stories through? I would rather hear about....what was that linux distro lawsuit that went on for ten years? Nevermind.
I am honored that someone used all of their mod points to down-vote all of my comments today. Normally someone experiencing this would get mad but I know it is a butt-hurt Hillary voting Facebook schill hard at work furiously clicking about to make the world a better place. God I love this site.
I was just going to say: This is what touches off World War 3. Aside from that I think the US should lay claim to Taiwan in cooperation with Taiwan (behind the scenes) to put pressure on China and strengthen relations with Taiwan as a trade partner--as a hedge against China.
Criminal liability is escalated when using the mail or the phone for this very reason. Facebook's role is quite different in this case. Move a few brain cells around and you should be able to see that.
The point is: you would never know if someone violated the fair housing act. Facebook is providing a a means to conduct illegal activity. The same principle applies to me as a software developer. I cannot create accounting software that lets people cook their books. I would go to prison. Everyone commenting on this is way off. These non-profits know their shit. If you don't like it, lobby to have the laws revoked.
Agreed. This list could on forever. Did everyone have their fucking head under a rock this whole time? What did they think Facebook was doing and did they not know the only barrier to getting your hands on the comings and going of nearly every human being was a small bit of money? Jesus. Living in this world and paying attention only leaves you frustrated as the rest of humanity catches up in only the most inane ways.
Slashdot Mirror
LMAO!!! That's aweseom.

It also demonstrates that they were purposefully acting shady to begin with.
Run a diag on your RAM
"Yet a lot of developers love and want linux."
They don't know what they want other than their code to run. Where cares what marshals it into memory.

Dead. Relegated to being a runtime. Applications will be built in C#.

They are actively facilitating. A phone system does not actively facilitate. Sexconker...I award your alt back its mod points.
Wouldn't that be a trademark case? Again, way off base.

Provide a platform that lets people commit tax evasion and see how long you avoid prison.

Cannes just kissed their small sliver of relevancy goodbye.
He is probably on Windows and infosec will not allow remote powershell----or GASP! Ansible. I hear it is free and open source (insecure).
Way too many plebs use the "service." If every intelligent person left FB (went dark) right now it would trundle on as if nothing happened.
You can't apologize out of this. Council should have an effective gag order in place.
I wonder if they are going to get a real CEO now? The board in most companies would definitely end their CEO for this.
