Go is very attractive to lazy, untalented (bad?) developers for the wrong reasons. It is attractive to talented developers for the right reasons. The use cases or justifications for using a talented developer or Go are usually pretty slim. The popularity of Go, which should be a fairly obscure language, is linked to the perception of the bad developers. Don't hate Go because a bunch of losers start using it for the wrong reasons.
Go on Android? This is why technologies come to be hated. They are used out of context and people wonder why it is such a piece of shit. Do you run android on your server architecture? There is your answer.
Go is lame and pointless until you learn about go routines, channels, channel buffers, directions. All the other stuff is in there cause it has to be in order to serve as a programming language. Message passing between lightweight threads compiled to binary....and you get the point. Pivotal Cloud Foundry is built in Go. Docker, which is along the same lines is built in Go. Should you use it to build enterprise business apps? Nope. High performance middle tier and server processes? Yeah.
Don't do anything to Facebook except mandate that the platform is open so people can write competing apps. Migrating to another social media fork or forks would be seamless since everyone would still be connected at the most basic level. Check boxes to choose where you want stuff posted. Chat without having everything tracked.
"strongly disagree, somewhat disagree, neutral, strongly agree or strongly disagree."
I always feel like someone is playing with me when surveys are typed like this. The recent Facebook survey after the congressional hearings was phrased in absolutes like this.
Investors/speculators are hoping the assets and performance of the company eventually meet up with the hype and color in the blank space between actual asset value and stock price. Some are investors, others are speculators. In the case of Telsa I don't find it very attractive since automotive manufacturing is extremely competitive and stocked with well healed players.
You think the crypto-currencies compete with each other? I'm not convinced of this yet. They are competing for the attention of dollars in some way...but there is nothing stopping us from using them without comparing them to something else. Comparison is the thief of perceived utility at this point. Bitcoin has zero advantage or market hold compared to Litecoin or any other currency. That is the value of crypto I guess--other than being a fancy sea shell.
"but it's not okay for the lowly employee to discuss politics during lunch time?"
I know of an incident where a guy got written up for listening to another guy in the lunch room who was expressing some politically charged opinions about current events. He was eating with him and at that point was captive, for all practical purposes. Someone ran to HR and complained about the douche talking politics in the lunch room but my friend got lumped in with him and now has a mark in his file. He didn't say a word.
The Supreme Court allows whatever gives it cheap credibility and skirts anything that Washington or most of society might reject and henceforth get reverted--reducing their credibility. Same way with the the other branch of government, the Federal Reserve.
Odd. Show the part in the constitution that talks about the supreme court.....or the part that talks about other branches of government that can spring up and subvert the others.
As an addendum, Damore didn't lose his job for his gender bias views. He lost his job because he indirectly compared management to failed Marxist intellectual maggots in one of the footnotes. There is no way in hell they were not going to fry him for that.
There really is no point to free speech unless you can speak your mind without repercussions. Like the guy who wrote that memo at google about their gender bias, he should have been debated and been given the chance to face up to some of his errors in that memo and everyone would have learned from it. No, they just banish him and one side gets to keep thinking they were completely right and he stubbornly believes he was completely right and google still has a gender bias problem that no one in their right mind is going to bring up with any seriousness again. This is the opposite of free speech. In relation to the constitution (Bill of Rights for the pedants), it means that we don't go to prison for speaking out against our government or government officials but as a society it is clear right now that we do not value this solid principle. It's like we reverted from the enlightenment to bronze-age thinking.
On any good team everyone knows they can speak their mind and are not afraid of being ridiculed. They know they can question the "obvious" and spark a productive debate that solves real problems and moves things forward.
This extends into other areas of education. Patient education is delivered through pamphlets and interactive media in doctors' offices...materials that the doctors refer to as authoritative. The pamphlets and video media are produced by a third party company that sells ads and space in the literature to drug companies. All of these educational materials are funded by big pharma and the large drug store chains. Take that shit with a grain of salt.

That's pretty much middle class.
You just listed three things that progressively robbed people of their soul.
Social media defined by people who don't know what social media is.
It was a merger where KMart gave Sears money. Its not like K-Mart gave someone money and Sears was packed up and slid over the counter to KMart.
"and all payments CAN be tracked" ...to a wallet. Big deal. You don't have to provide a copy of your drivers license to start a wallet.
What is no one cares to convert it?
What would a millennial be doing on Slashdot?

Thank you for that eloquent expression. Sorry you modded down.
"There's no exchange of value here"
You underestimate the lawyers' ancient and finely crafted skill of rhetoric.

Perhaps we should expose them to the humanities as well?
You sir, are an idiot.
