Why is it all of the sudden the developers responsibility what children are allowed to play and not the parents?

Young males seem to tend to be fascinated with violence video games or not.

I really wished I had looked In here to see your comment before reading more than half the article. Would have been a much more interesting article had things turned out a little differently.

I also find all the social media links at the bottom (including Facebook) funny / ironic considering the message being delivered.

I think that the Docker CLI bring written in go is some pretty big counter evidence to saying go is to low level to write CLIs. I can't think of a single reason that would be true.

I don't think it's right that because there's some highly backlinked content with with some keywords, that you should assume that's what people are looking for when they search those keywords.

Shouldn't helping connect poeple with what they're looking for be the bottom line? Even if you have to manipulate your algorimths natural results to do so.

A lot of people seem to default to a really cynical view of tech businesses. I share this same same sentiment with the parent comment where I feel like Google "has my back" and I know for certain there products do make my life easier. This guilty until proven innocent attitude that many people hold is getting kinda old.

Giving them your data is the price you pay for their service. If this doesn't seem fair to you then find an alternative. Enough of this scary business.

Maybe with the Equifax and Cambridge analytica incidents the broader public will start thinking about privacy more seriously. And in turn companies may start pushing privacy assurances as selling points. (Just reaching for a bit of optimism in these unnerving circumstances, I don't like it either)

It may not put money in Facebook's pocket but.. Last time I checked Mark Zuckerberg is Facebook's CEO and largest shareholder. I imagine that taking actions that devalue the stock and therefore his net worth are bound to influence his decisions (and therefore Facebook's)

On my personal machine I keep everything that's not part of a default Ubuntu installation and not a package inside a folder called $HOME/lab. Then I have a shell script that I run to install packages and create sym links for various config files that live inside this "lab" folder. It makes it so I can switch to a new machine fairly painlessly by copying the folder and running the script. I try to keep changes to the "install script" consistent with changes I make to the system. It's simple and works pretty well.

The way Google has been sculpting it's products is consistent with their statement of "organizing information". Now it's almost like web is just becoming a fall back for when Google didn't happen to have the answers to a particular question on hand. But like other commenters are saying, the users love it!

SEO should just addapt there business to not being about gaming the search engines but instead consulting site owners to deliver quality content on well optimize d sites. Let's be honest here though, SEO as it was in the past is a dying discipline in light of the growing safistication of these "knowledge engines"

There's a game called Soma which has a plot that largely revolves around this question. You play as a man who wakes up mysteriously in an underwater facility as a circumstantial consequence of a "brain scan" you took 100 or so years ago.

The "is it still me?" question pops up over and over throughout the game. It's incredibly thought provoking.
