Finder is an abomination.

The fact that it sometimes just simply stops updating the directory contents of a remote fileshare is enough to make me distrust it.

It's so poorly implemented and buggy that sometimes I just open a terminal window to move files around.

Their shareholders would sue in a nanosecond.

In that situation?

Optimally.

It plays out optimally.

If everyone suddenly installed and ran an aggressive ad-blocker, we could strangle all of the tracking networks overnight and the Internet would become a noticeably nicer place.

People who refuse to concede that allowing ads is functionally the same thing as inviting third parties to monitor your browsing patterns and invade your privacy are being disingenuous.

Yeah, sorry Wikileaks: absolutely nothing you say is worth trusting anymore, and this comparison of data exfiltration from Facebook with common ad network data collection is disingenuous at best and deliberately misleading by my estimation.

The American banking system is still basically at the level of the horse and buggy. Inter-bank transfers are next to impossible.

Here in Australia, I can just give out my bank account number freely -- the worst you can do to me with that information is send me money.

Heh. In 35 years Americans might finally stop writing checks, too.

I honestly think we'd be better off as a species without social media.

So edgy. You made a brand new account just to post this trash?

I like the tried-and-true method of just shooting poachers.

Some people are labouring under the misapprehension that adblockers are immoral.

I must be running just the right combination of adblockers because I swear I've never once seen an advertisement on Youtube.

Their government is still lunatic-right, regardless of how many hairs you feel like splitting about some of their policies.

I'll truly never understand the people who defend Facebook to the death on here.

The problem with Reddit is that it's full of white supremacists who migrated over from /pol/ in 2016 and took up residence.

The admins have been aware of the problem for two years but haven't cared enough to do anything about it.

I mean, maybe the self-driving car shouldn't exist if it's just going to run people over.

Funny how this story has been pushed off the front page of HN prematurely.

Yes: let's just go back and re-teach everyone. That is surely an easier solution to implement than banning Twitter bots.

I'd be happy with that if we also got rid of Facebook and Reddit.

I hope they prevail. What kind of sociopath company fires its entire technical staff?

Silicon Valley has been out of ideas since the late 1990s. Look at Google trying to "fix" email, a system that simply is not broken.

A good way to avoid this is to stop using Facebook. I wish everyone would abide by this.

I've seen no evidence of this having been done.

They spent about 10 billion dollars on advertising last year; I don't think their angle here is "free advertising". Stop being so cynical.

Good. The only thing Facebook listens to is money.

I'll laugh when the alt-right tries to boycott Unilever, though. Enough big companies do this, and they'll all starve to death. :)

> OBike seems to work a lot better in Singapore, where people have respect for property.

Um... nope. It's just as bad in Singapore.

Stop blaming Australians for being fed up with companies who use littering as a business model. These shitty bikes are all over the public footpaths here and people are tired of it.

Nice to see Uber getting into the same "using public infrastructure instead of building our own" scam that all these lousy private bike-sharing companies are doing. Awful company.

Good.

The less people use Facebook, the better and healthier society becomes.

Which makes me wonder why he was only charged with the latter; it's clear he committed the former.

For a while, they were really the only game in town when AMD was struggling to keep up, performance-wise. Now with Ryzen there's really no reason for me not to switch back. I was an AMD fanboy from the K6-II through a few Athlon revisions.

That's the upshot of this debacle for me, too. Intel has lost me (again) as a customer.
