They don't need to keep your photo. They have no use for it. What they have a use for is training their recognition algorithms to be able to recognise you in any picture. That's going to help them further enhance your profile from pictures and videos other people upload. Even if they don't tag you, or even know you.
Just because something is innovative, doesn't make it hard to copy.
The personal computer was an innovation. All IBM did was build a computer with off-the-shelf chips and some software it bought from other companies. You could but a computer for your home before the IBM PC. Namely the Apple 1 and Apple II. Putting it all together in what was effectively an open standard, bundled with software was the key. The market got flooded with "IBM compatible" clones. They weren't hard to copy but no one else thought of doing it first.
The iPod didn't contain any new technology either. There were dozens of different MP3 players out there before the iPod came about. Creative and Rio were doing pretty well for themselves. Along came the iPod and they all lost their market share.
Taxing global companies more in one country simply makes them move revenue through other countries. It would be hard enough to just get consistency in the OECD countries, let alone the rest of the world.
You're acting like money spent on cancer treatment is lost. A fair chunk of it goes to employing people to develop better treatments. I'm sure another big chunk of it goes to executives who then go on to spend that money paying people to build their superyachts.
I never got taught about the Civil War in history, so you're wrong, no tears were shed. That's something they teach Americans. they taught me how to spell civil though. There's also never been slavery in my country either. Not in recorded history anyway.
Except for the little detail of: If some miners stop mining, mining becomes easier, making mining more profitable.
The cost of mining is related to the popularity of mining. The profitability of mining is a combination of the value of bitcoin and the size of the mining pool, making it not a simple economic problem.
Makes for less unemployment? Otherwise you're assuming there is zero unemployment or those jobs just stay vacant. Not to mention the loss of revenue in the manufacturing, sales and marketing of tobacco... They spent $8.2 billion in 2015 in marketing alone according to the CDC, up from 8.0 in 2014.
A lot of convenience stores would go out of business if they didn't sell cigarettes. It's what brings a lot of their customers in to the store.
There's several malls around here like that. They're not in the main city where most people work, so during the week they don't have a lot of customers. Unless it's school holidays.
If cyber monday and black friday only get 3x an average day in sales, that's like the difference in mall sales between a Saturday and a Monday. I would have thought the difference was bigger than that.
and publishing meaningless, one sided numbers only helps to numb people to the real problem.
Leaving big gaping holes in the information being published opens the flood gates to the "what if..." and "what about..." Without the information to support critical thinking about a topic, all you've got left is guess work, feelings and doubt. You'll be more likely to ignore something if it doesn't present a reasonable argument.
Lost productivity... only counts if you don't have enough people to fill the jobs of those who died early. Health care costs... of a mostly private healthcare system? How much money is raised from tobacco taxes? In 2010 federal taxes bought in $8.8b, in 2010 state taxes bought in $24b 2 minutes of googling didn't get me any more recent figures.
And running 1.2GHz 4 core STB processors over 10/100 ethernet is going to be similar to clusters of dual socket 3GHz 54 core processors with 25+ Gbps interconnects? (aka Cavium ThunderX2 CPUs. Nobody is planning on building an ARM based supercomputer with only one CPU per node, let alone with IO limited smartphone/tablet/set-top-box oriented SoCs)
Thinking that specific numbers or days of the week or years or similar are intrinsically better than others only makes sense within magic-like expectations
You can't hack my work account on a weekend, because the helpdesk is closed. Everything is turned off. The first day back after the Christmas shutdown period would be the best time to do it, since the number of password resets being logged at the helpdesk will overload the poor people working there. They're going to be less vigilant with each call so they can get through them all.
What do you know... computer security does matter when it comes to specific days of the week and religion defined celebrations.

How is it weird they apply the same policy to both?
They aren't being evil
They manage the .dev gTLD and one of the rules for using a .dev domain is HSTS
Because you're doing it wrong. .dev is a gTLD, it's idiotic to use it for an internal service.
Use a domain you own.

You can't delete your profile. You can only delete your access to it.
Facebook will keep gathering data on you via other users though.

But keep the metadata for future facial recognition of you in other people's photos.

Tinder, Spotify, Uber and OKCupid, all applications that provide location-aware content may track your location!
Someone should invent software for emulating a CPU, that way you could use one machine to emulate many.
I'd call it a virtual machine.

How many Lindsay Lohan's can I buy with 1 BTC?
So can horse manure. Is that a currency too?

You first. I'll keep mine, as I don't live in USA.
I'll just chuckle to myself as the internet over there gets renamed to Facebook

What would the doctors and researchers do if no one was paying millions for cancer treatments? The smokers are their cash cow.
Do you think cancer treatment would be as advanced as it is now if there were a lot fewer people with cancer?
You are getting my statement out of context.
No, I'm winding you up.
