I'm the last guy to defend facebork, but... If someone misuses the advertising tools on a platform to break the law, wouldn't that person/company be responsible for breaking the law? Why would facebook be liable for having a wide range of advertising options available to people selling an enormous range of things, in which housing is a tiny percentage. This is akin to going after google because someone sent a hate email from gmail.

I haven't bought an EA game since 2013 and it has nothing do with politics. I have three main issues with EA, not in any order. The first is reskins. Every AAA title they release for AAA prices is just a re-skin of a game they already made years ago. The second is the Origin Storefront. They force you to use the Origin store for their games, when they don't have anywhere near a big enough game catalog to force another store on me. The thrid is the complete wasting of prime IP. They have some of my favorite IP tied up in licenses and refuse to make decent games.
NFL keep cranking out those crappy madden titles
PGA tour golf they haven't made a decent game since 08
Harry Potter - how you waste this with a single crappy quidditch game i don't know
Star Wars - Only made battlefield reskins, never even made a real game for it
SimCity - acquired, made one crappy attempt at some online BS and killed it
I'm ready to see this company go away, and stop wasting prime IP.
They could start by knocking on the door, or ringing the doorbell. Half the time I'm sitting 5 feet away from the front door, and there is no indication a package has been delivered until I leave the house.
In cities with housing shortages like Boston, LA, NY, etc, companies are less likely to consider people from out of state. It's too expensive to move them. Even if they are willing to move themselves, many give up in tight housing markets once they realize a shack is a half million dollars.
In the past I have thought, I will use google because they are a huge company. They aren't going to get bought or dismantled anytime soon. I won't have to deal with finding all new products.
Death of Google reader: OK, it's a big internet I can find another way to aggregate RSS feeds. And google says that's a dying technology anyhow.
Death of Google homepage: This one hurt a bit more. It was nice having a configurable homepage that I could point to the most personally relevant info on the web. I guess I can just make bookmarks and hit 5 different sites when I sit down.
Destruction of Google finance: So it's been a little less useful since google homepage died, but it's still nice to have my portfolio organized the way I want. All I have to do now is click on the shortcut. But wait, they just destroyed google finance. I can no longer even decide the top three stocks I want to show up on that page.
Death of Google hangouts: Great I finally got my entire group of family and friends to all use the same chat client. Now google says they are killing this by the end of next year. Hangouts, by the way, is the one reason chrome gets installed as soon as I build any PC.
So you are telling me that google has yet another project that they have released and are putting no love into. Go ahead, sign up, spend three years cultivating an app to play the music you want to listen too. Don't worry it will be fine. Google is a huge company. I'm sure you won't waste all of your effort getting this configured and trained, only to be abandoned on the growing list of google services that just cease to exist.
I have a pixel 3. I have youtubeTV for $35 a month. I use google search and chrome (huge advertising target). So, please don't tell me they don't make money from me using their products.
I think I'm done with Google. I really tried to be part of their ecosystem. They don't seem to care. So, I can't see myself caring to delve further into this bottomless pit of abandoned services.
I loved winamp, and would love to get it back. I don't really have faith that this won't be a terrible cloud heavy version with the old Winamp name. But, here's hoping it's a lightweight music player that doesn't connect to the internet unless I direct it to.
So, we should consider changing the course of public education because a 15 year old's tweet got a lot of likes? It's social media. You can find something to support any crackpot argument you want. It doesn't make it right, or scientific in any way. Teachers, just because the new digital whining gets more attention, it doesn't mean you need to suddenly kowtow to it.
The more interesting part is the following, from a CRISPR press release:
The planned initiation of a Phase 1/2 trial of CTX001 in Europe in adult patients with transfusion dependent Beta-thalassemia is unchanged, and the companies expect to initiate the trial in the second half of 2018.
Therefore, ex vivo CRISPR gene-edited therapies are actually about to go into trails. The SCD treatment has hit a very small bump in the road, which is expected and less of a story.
Who is paying for all this? The DNC was reportedly broke at the beginning of the year. Are they taking money from campaign donations to fund frivolous lawsuits now?

Too bad all of your losses audio is trapped in music libraries that you are not allowed to connect to homepod. --
"You may want to use iTunes Match or iCloud Music Library to keep your iTunes library in the cloud. If your iTunes library contains lossless files, iTunes Match and iCloud Music Library treat them differently from other files. If the files are matched, then they’re matched to the iTunes Store equivalents: files at 256kbps AAC. If iTunes can’t match them and needs to upload them, iTunes converts them to 256kbps before uploading. This means that your lossless files will never be in the cloud." - Macworld
What's to stop these criminals from throwing up their own encrypted Matrix server, with no backdoor? This only really makes them stop using big commercial services. Countries will spend millions trying to get back doors into public chat rooms, only to have millions of private ones pop up.

If 6.5% of your user base not signing up is costing you over $4,200,000,000 in a single year, the issue is that you are way overcharging for your service. Your Whinging about only making $64.5 billion a year is really pulling at my heartstrings.
Offices were created to trap talented employees at work. Once you go to an open office plan, they can all escape. And, they will. You will be left with only hipsters playing cornhole in the hallways.
How many new power plants do they estimate they will have to build, to power all of these electric cars? That's a huge amount of power generation moved into central locations. With about 65% of that energy lost in transmission, that number doubles.

How does more than doubling the amount of energy it takes to run vehicles save the environment? Unless someone is building a solar grid the size of Britain, I don't see this all coming from renewable sources.

Large cash transfers significantly improved poor people's financial standing. How much did this study cost?

Who came up with a naming convention that steps on an entire line of android OS's set up for the raspberry pi? What a mess for no reason.
Good thing this will never happen. Let's get those encryption back doors into the hands of the CIA.
So... now I have to worry about the kid down the street spray painting my real life car, to pay me back for blowing up his online spaceship. Pass.

A single benign police officer, placed in a Boston intersection, can mess up traffic in the entire city.
