Maybe there needs to be a mechanism to disable the app. Or updates to the app. Or further downloads. Etc.
Then there needs to be an officer in the company who is responsible to activate this mechanism in the event that the company ceases operations. Prior to that happening, the product manager of the affected product would be responsible to use this mechanism to disable further updates to the app when it is being discontinued.
I got a Nexus 6 P a long time ago. No bundled crapware. But Google still shoves news down my throat. Not that I mind so much. But I like to pick multiple news sources.
And that color will be patented. And copyrighted. And tirademarked. And be a tirade secret, even though the color will be used in products, and the hex code visible in Apple's CSS files.
> If we can put self driving cars on the road, why can't we develop smart traffic lights?
Woah! Woah! Slow down!
How about let's first develop smart pedestrians.
And do something about texting and walking. I'm not against a Darwin inspired solution. But it is unfair to car owners to have to repair damage and clean off their cars from stupid pedestrians.
By agreeing to the TOS, you are opting in. About 2/3 of the way through the TOS, on page 223, in fine print, you authorize FaceTwit to harvest your and your family's vital organs in the middle of the night, unless your mobile phone company or internet service provider has already gotten them first.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough that America is working towards the highest numbers, measured in seconds for both ping times and download times. (Eg high latency, low bandwidth)
I was negligent in failing to bring up how American ISPs and mobile phone networks also strive to have the highest prices.
Wouldn't it be more profitable and increase shareholder value more for FB to conduct an online vote on whether you should go postal or not? And let's not forget the huge crowd draw, and related advertising opportunities, for a FB Live should you decide to do so.
But you can rest assured that FB would never take a side, one way or the other, on whether you should go postal or not. Nope. Nosiree.
The GOP is the group that would never want to impose any job killing, business destroying regulations upon poor struggling FaceTwit, nor any of its billionaire founders.
I'm just pointing out the irony. Nothing more. Move along.
Didn't FB already plan to do this? Wasn't there recently an article about FB learning to recognize, then manipulate and take advantage of vulnerable teens for corporate profits? it's exciting! It increases shareholder value!
It is creepy. You don't have to be paranoid. Think of FB as a creep and stalker that follows you around.
What you say next is like: If you don't want 1984 Big Brother's telescreens following you around, there ways to be sneaky. Put a hair on top of a book in a drawer so you'll know later if someone has been looking through your things and had moved that book, and now knows you are reading forbidden ideas censored by the ze Trumpenland. Just because you don't like it, comrad, doesn't mean s**t, but it does warrant a visit to the Ministry Of Love for re-education.

Here's one you left out. USB. It was an Intel standard. It already existed. But was not adopted in the PC industry due to inertia. PS/2 connectors were standard, so why change? And who needs easily attached and removable external hard drives? But with the introduction of the iMac, overnight USB was a success. Gazillians of market ready USB peripherals for the iMac. Suddenly USB cards were a thing for PCs because there were gobs of peripheral devices available. Now you expect to have plenty of front and rear mounted USB ports on a new PC.
Disclaimer: I was a huge Apple fanboy in the 80's / 90's when Apple was a great company. Now I think the world would be better off without Apple, its litigation and walled gardens, and snob fanboys. And I once was one of those snob fanboys.
The reason they committed crimes is probably because they had ambition to do better for themselves than UBI can provide. Isn't one purpose of UBI to encourage people to go out and make more money doing whatever they have ambition to do?

I thought The Apple provides strong encryption.
At least they're spying on Personal Messages and not on Personal Massages.
Hitler may have taught Germany and the EU nothing(1), but Hitler sure taught Trump a lot(2).
1. how to avoid a repeat
2. how to copycat

So you got the news, and it sounds like good news.
Some call it fake news. CNN calls it BREAKING NEWS. Even if it is trivial.
The color #c0fefe (a riff on covfefe) is an extremely light blue.
Uh, you mean iWhite.
And that color will be patented. And copyrighted. And tirademarked. And be a tirade secret, even though the color will be used in products, and the hex code visible in Apple's CSS files.

So you're saying that Microsoft should make Windows OS X be 64-bit only because Apple did so?
And because doing so would make sense?
Are those really good reasons to make such a change? Did anyone ask marketing for their input?
Yes. That. Forced arbitration is bad.
Surely in the 21st century, a modern company like AT&T can find better ways to screw their customers without the need of forced arbitration.
> This would be an opt-in service.
Yes, I can see it.

So if others are also being creepy it makes FB less creepy?
Maybe that should be a lesson for sexual predators. If there are enough of them, then it is the new normal, and everything is okay.

But the FCC is doing it's part to help Make America Wait Again.
Making America #1 in ping times. The biggest! The most! The longest! And uncut!
And who beats America in download times!. Again, we've got the biggest most wonderful numbers!

I didn't know what to expect. But it sounds like fun activity for a group of friends, whether you are giving or getting. Definitely NSFW.

Facebook's masses remind me of Apple's 1985 Lemmings commercial. I don't plan to ever create FaceTwit accounts. I have actual friends.
Point by point.

Do employers really want worker drones to have critical thinking skills?
Critical thinking may not be part of STEM. But it seems useful enough that it should be crammed down everyone's throat. Why would that be so bad?
Shakespeare is not part of STEM and high school crams that down people's throat. It does not help one write code any better.
