Oh no, trouble! That's the worst thing that could happen to someone! Getting in trouble!

People should stand up for themselves more, you deserve to be paid for your work. The client is the only person who should be in trouble. Don't be afraid of trouble.

I have never used facebook or snapchat but this is what drove me off of linkedin too, it used to be 100% updates from people I knew, and somehow morphed into 99% "news feed" crap that I never want to see, ever.

I don't care what your analytics say about user engagement, they are wrong. Just stop the "relevancy game" and the stupid news feeds everywhere.

I don't even use tor but have to fill these stupid things out just because my ISP is stretching some IPv4 things a bit too far. Sure wish they would stop doing that, I have to fill out like 10 cloudflare or google captchas a day.

Buffett also went all in on Wells Fargo, so nobody's perfect.

It's not quite that simple, but yes insta is helping facebook hide their problems due to them stealing everyone from snapchat.

GE is currently unraveling because they hid their losses using creative accounting for 20+ years. Nobody will go to prison for this.

If you're expecting much in the way of social responsibility from a large corporation I think you're just being naive. People want to further their own individual careers and little else.

People are fleeing facebook in droves. Read last week's release. Something's gotta change, it's more of a debate as to what or how.

Is there any trend currently for young people or new college grads to avoid these huge manipulative companies like Facebook or Google? I honestly have no idea, I haven't talked to a student or recent grad in awhile, but after the events of the past 24 months I wonder what a 20 year old pondering internships thinks about all this?

When I graduated in '98 the most "cool" thing was to work for the biggest name possible (so Microsoft or IBM at the time), but I imagine things have changed.

Autocompletion for JS libs has been around for at least 12 years in various tools. It's not that hard of a problem to solve for a standard library if you follow a convention or two.

It's a fraction with a numerator and denominator. The demoniator can be 0.00001 sometimes. Any PE over 50 or so is effectively meaningless, everyone in finance knows to just ignore them at look at better valuation metrics.

Also there's a pretty good argument that the PE is a useless ratio that should be actively ignored, they haven't correlated strongly with anything in like 20 years.

The fact that they are accelerating growth at $200B in sales is utterly insane. A few more years of this and they will just be able to buy the whole healthcare industry or basically whatever else they want to do. This kind of big growth is effectively unprecedented for a company this massive.

When you're a company like apple debt is not a problem, in fact you can even sometimes get paid to issue debt if you're very very profitable. This is nothing like your monthly credit card payment, it's more of an accounting convenience.

Does this worker make me fill out a captcha twice a day to use the internet?

The worst part about all these scams is that they seem to be generally perpetuated by (or at least the owners are) somewhat older people, lots of baby boomers and gen Xers, and invariably the people buying in are millennials or even younger.

It's a real shame to see so many scams along the various crypto chains transferring so much wealth from the young to the old. Like millennials haven't had it bad enough already.

What a meaningless platitude, I'm sure it's the sort of thing was repeated in the 1930s a lot.

This is the reason organizations exist to regulate things around trade, otherwise you can get shady exchanges quoting bogus prices with zero accountability. Lots of people are going to get scammed before this gets better.

Generally the ones who play up their patents are the ones doing the least interesting research.

You have pretty garbage ad blocker if it loads the ad then hides it instead of just never wasting resources to load the ad in the first place.

Not really, I'm trying to hire anyone, even mediocre developers and designers and simply can't get anyone right now on a short term basis even at $300/hr. We're going up to $500/hr soon.

It's really really hard to get people right now. As bad as I've ever seen it.

If you're speaking at conferences then you are doing your infosec career wrong.

False, penguins now roam the Arctic as well after being introduced.

Creating jobs that don't exist for people who currently aren't residents (or don't yet exist) is the very definition of economic progress. If you don't want that then you just want nothing but the status the status quo unchanged forever. You can't have it both ways.

From the bug it looks like a smattering of Xeons, Celerons, i5s, not sure what's "specific" about it from first glance.

Any company that grows to that size has to get in bed with the government to various degrees depending on their industry. If you don't think Dropbox (and Amazon, and Google, and Twitter, and Facebook, and everyone) isn't in cahoots then you're just naive. Individual rights matter little, all files on all these providers are constantly scanned, you have no expectation of privacy at all.

I keep getting bad gateway from some awful CDN, is there an alternative link?

This is one of the reasons I bailed on accounting as a possible study in college. I really liked the idea of accounting for the whole of a massive business and understanding every unit, but most of the advanced stuff ended up being "here's how to get creative and not go to prison over it". Obfuscation over clarification. Really strange profession.

Tax isn't a self serving sociopathic "gamble" it's what allows you to go to school and drive on roads and use the internet. Don't dodge it as part of some insane game you were taught.

They also have about $120 billion USD in debt. Not exactly the healthiest company in the world financially speaking.

Is "pro competitive combination" the new nonsense phrase everyone is going to start repeating? The people who come up with these things sure do have a sense of humor.

"Correct" but feels really gross

25% increase in macs sold is huge, not sure if this was just a weird spike or not but that really stands out
