I agree with all of the things you listed. The interface is horrible and their prediction algorithms seem to be "list and recommend everything". Shows that I gave a thumbs down still show up on every category as recommendations for me. Add in the fact that as a Canadian subscriber, the choices are severely limited and I already pulled the plug a few days ago. Sure it's cheap, but it's a bunch of junk documentaries about nazis and aliens. Ain't nobody got time for that.
This is mainly done through a secretive operation in Kuala Lumpur that’s outsourced to Accenture, the professional services firm, and codenamed “Project Honey Badger.”
I take backdoor to mean an undocumented thing that allows the developers to access something that the end user isn't supposed to be aware of. So by that definition it would be intentional yes. It may not be malicious in nature, or may even be considered an inside joke or easter egg, or maybe I am paranoid.
Of the people that I know that still use Facebook at all, at least 90% of them admit to just using the Messenger App. The ones that still go to the webpage tell me they just go to creep other peoples pictures and never post anything themselves.
I'm sure there are legacy bits of my long deactivated Facebook account, how can I completely and utterly remove any trace of my existence from their servers?
From an old episode of M*A*S*H:
"Our people have this question under scrutiny at the moment. Now, if this scrutinization should yield negative, then I feel that we must maximize our efforts."
Using anything that is not hard-wired for pro audio is a waste of time. I can't even listen to music on a cell phone no matter how good the headphones/buds are, the quality is terrible. Even making a voice call makes me cringe because of how bad it sounds. Yes, I still listen to vinyl, still use a hardwired landline to make phone calls. All cell phones have going for them is convenience and the cache that certain models have managed to attach to themselves as being status badges.
I wish I could mod this one up +10. I used to come to/. back in the olden times and it was always an enjoyable part of my workday, now it's 'wade through a mountain of crap to find the occasional pearl.
That said, the advancements in mathematics and materials reinforce my faith in mankind, we aren't dead yet.
All we have to do is consume less than 80,000 barrels/year and we will never run out. (Yes I am being facetious)
One formula I found shows oil being replenished at that rate.
Not saying that I'm against them monitoring, but for them to be reporting any group or entity as having undesired influence kind of makes it sound like they can steer the elections (however slightly) to suit themselves. Would be nice if we could collectively be intelligent enough to form our own opinions.

We all know Honey Badger don't give a shit.
TLS 1.3 was added to Firefox 52.0, which was released in March 2017
TLS 1.3 was defined in RFC 8446 in August 2018.
It was obviously built out of tachyons.
ummm so it's safe to say you would rather be run over by a Tesla than a Humvee? Or did I miss the point of your statement?

I sure hope you didn't teach an online english course.
I would be surprised if there wasn't a backdoor in any complex system, hardware or software.
Will there be redshirts? Oh my god I hope there are Redshirts.

Are they roomy and comfortable? Or should one go for something a little larger?

Hey, if Jeff K can do it, anyone can do it. But I do miss the blink tag, that thing was the bomb!
This is an awesome idea. Design satellites with a refueling port, design/build an autonomous fuel delivery vehicle, preferably reusable.

and what about those who think the earth is corrugated, i mean really, ships don't just disappear, they must go into a trough in the corrugations!

That's probably the most intelligent thing I have heard today. Well played.

Exactly, how long has "The Anarchists Cookbook" been freely available? They can't keep truly offensive material off, how are they going to do this?
