The Last Days Of Social Media

https://www.noemamag.com/the-last-days-of-social-media/
Social media as we know it is dying, but we’re not condemned to its ruins. We are capable of building better — smaller, slower, more intentional, more accountable — spaces for digital interaction, spaces where the metrics that matter aren’t engagement and growth but understanding and connection, where algorithms serve the community rather than strip-mining it.

The Facebook Hack Is an Internet-Wide Failure | WIRED

https://www.wired.com/story/facebook-hack-single-sign-on-data-exposed/
On Friday, Facebook announced that hackers had leveraged three separate bugs to collect 50 million users’ so-called access tokens, which are the equivalent of digital keys to a Facebook account. With those tokens, hackers can take full control of users’ Facebook accounts, but because of Single Sign-On, they can also access any other website that those 50 million users log into with Facebook.

enoughalready » San Francisco Is Eating Itself

http://alexcastle.net/2014/01/17/san-francisco-is-eating-itself/#comment-432
It’s just such a bummer to see a place that I remember as openminded, laid back, creative, nonjudgmental erupting with all this anger, everyone pointing fingers, blaming people that really aren’t to blame. Come on, guys. You’re better than this.

The reality is that this is one of the biggest fallacies put out by the Right Wing echo chamber.

There would have been no housing boom without these workers. The lifestyle of the suburban families with lawn service and homecare would be much less appealing as they travelled into the inner cities to work during the day and flee by night."

Drones, war, and civilian casualties: How unmanned aircraft reduce collateral damage. - Slate Magazine

http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/human_nature/2013/02/drones_war_and_civilian_casualties_how_unmanned_aircraft_reduce_collateral.single.html
From pinboard.in/deusx: "Drones kill a lower ratio of civilians to combatants than we’ve seen in any recent war. Granted, many civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other such wars were killed by our enemies rather than by us. But that’s part of the equation. One reason to prefer drones is that when you send troops, fighting breaks out, and the longer the fighting goes on, the more innocent people die. Drones are like laparoscopic surgery: They minimize the entry wound and the risk of infection."

Holy shit. Teen hides escaped rape victim kidnapped from the SAC at Central Michigan in his house, while the attacker rages outside and starts to set the place on fire. When the cops come, the attacker flees, rams a cop car with his SUV, then steals a sanitation truck and rams another cop. And at some point before police catch up with and shoot him, the rapist managed to post a Facebook update, "Well folks, I’m about to get to get shot. Peace"

http://roastmagazine.com/currentissue/page192/fromthepublisher.html
Holy cow, that's a crazy insane markup on coffee pods: "In a 2012 article, New York Times coffee writer Oliver Strand calculated that Nespresso capsules are loaded with 5 grams of coffee each—which adds up to roughly $51 per pound of coffee. At press time, Stumptown Coffee Roasters was offering a 12-ounce bag of Panama Esmeralda Especial Peaberry for $45 (or $60 per pound)." And Panama Esmeralda Especial Peaberry is like the nirvana of the coffee world at $60 a pound. Not like the decent and drinkable $7 a pound Target coffee beans.

Obesity expert says daily workouts can't undo damage done from sitting all day - Rock Center with Brian Williams

Standing all day isn't 100% better, but this is why I have a standing desk now and a tall stool for occasional resting.

Obesity expert says daily workouts can't undo damage done from sitting all day - Rock Center with Brian Williams

Standing all day isn't 100% better, but this is why I have a standing desk now and a tall stool for occasional resting. Much easier than a sitting desk and remembering to occasionally stand - my legs naturally tell me when to take a break. Think I've lost about 15 lbs doing this, too, and my legs are in great shape

My Shame is TL;DR, So You Want to Arm the Teachers

http://thefourthvine.tumblr.com/post/38515024680/so-you-want-to-arm-the-teachers
From pinboard.in/deusx: "No. No, no, a thousand times no. If this is your plan, if this is the best you can do, then you really, really, REALLY need not to be firing guns, or carrying guns, or in the presence of guns. You are exactly who should not be armed. Because you’re fucking dangerous, out of touch with reality, frothing at the mouth rabid. And I thank you for showing me how to vote. I will absolutely vote to take your guns away. "

FACEBOOK'S WORST NIGHTMARE: With GM Pulling Its Ads, Here's How The Other Dominoes May Fall - Business Insider

http://www.businessinsider.com/facebooks-worst-nightmare-with-gm-pulling-its-ads-heres-how-the-other-dominoes-may-fall-2012-5
It appears to be dawning on clients who control the U.S.'s major ad budgets that if your marketing content is interesting enough you don't need to advertise on Facebook. Advertising on Facebook is free, if you can create something compelling enough to go viral without a major media spend behind it.

Why Mark Zuckerberg Needs His Hoodie - Technology - The Atlantic Wire

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2012/05/why-mark-zuckerberg-needs-his-hoodie/52106/
Zuckerberg didn't get where he is today by trading in his signature look for something that looks more CEO friendly. He built the Facebook magic wearing a hoodie -- at least according to The Social Network. At the very least he did it in a place where hoodies are fashion-appropriate. Since then he has worn the hoodie. And also since then, Facebook has grown and he's made lots of money. Coincidence? Maybe. But Zuckerberg clearly doesn't think so.

Facebook and Instagram: When Your Favorite App Sells Out -- Daily Intel

http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/04/facebook-and-instagram-when-your-favorite-app-sells-out.html
When people write critically about Facebook, they often say that “you are the product being sold,” but I think that by now we all get that. The digital substance of our friendships belongs to these companies, and they are loath to share it with others. So we build our little content farms within, friending and upthumbing, learning to accept that our new landlords are people who grew up on Power Rangers. This is, after all, the way of our new product-based civilization — in order to participate as a citizen of the social web, you must yourself manufacture content. Progress requires that forms must be filled. Thus it is a critical choice of any adult as to where they will perform their free labor. Tens of millions of people made a decision to spend their time with the simple, mobile photo-sharing application that was not Facebook because they liked its subtle interface and little filters. And so Facebook bought the thing that is hardest to fake. It bought sincerity.

Red Tape - Up against the Wall! Should district be allowed to demand middle-schooler's Facebook password?

http://redtape.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/13/10657012-up-against-the-wall-should-district-be-allowed-to-demand-middle-schoolers-facebook-password
"(The student now) fears that the school could make her give up her passwords at a moment's notice, at any time, for any reason," the lawsuit claims. It also alleges that password prying is standard practice at the Minnewaska Middle School, which the student still attends. "(Officials) have compelled other students to disclose their private information and have accessed students' online accounts on multiple occasions," it states.

Nick Bradbury: The Friction in Frictionless Sharing

http://nick.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/the-friction-in-frictionless-sharing.html
Well, no, not really. Because in the past the user only had to decide whether to share something they just read, but now they have to think about every single article before they even read it. If I read this article, then everyone will know I read it, and do I really want people to know I read it?

Facebook is gaslighting the web. We can fix it. - Anil Dash

http://dashes.com/anil/2011/11/facebook-is-gaslighting-the-web.html
Now, we've shown that Facebook promotes captive content on its network ahead of content on the web, prohibits users from bringing open content into their network, warns users not to visit web content, and places obstacles in front of visits to web sites even if they've embraced Facebook's technologies and registered in Facebook's centralized database of sites on the web.

How Facebook is ruining sharing | Molly Rants - CNET News

http://news.cnet.com/8301-31322_3-57324406-256/how-facebook-is-ruining-sharing
Sharing and recommendation shouldn't be passive. It should be conscious, thoughtful, and amusing--we are tickled by a story, picture, or video and we choose to share it, and if a startling number of Internet users also find that thing amusing, we, together, consciously create a tidal wave of meme that elevates that piece of media to viral status. We choose these gems from the noise. Open Graph will fill our feeds with noise, burying the gems.

Woman Burns Down Friend's House For Defriending Her on Facebook

One day, years from now, Jennifer Christine Harris will scroll back to this week on her Facebook Timeline and regret everything she sees. (She'll also be, like, "I still don't get the point of Facebook Timeline. The interface is so confusing and the pictures are way too big!") The Des Moines nat...

Bad Nomenclature » Blog Archive » A rant about PHP compilers in general and HipHop in particular.

http://blog.paulbiggar.com/archive/a-rant-about-php-compilers-in-general-and-hiphop-in-particular
"One saving grace is that they didn’t patent it. I have an email in my inbox from one of the HPHP developers saying he couldn’t talk to me about the compiler because they might patent it. That’s pretty shitty. Thank god they open-sourced it instead [9]. It sounds like it was a bit touch and go for a while."

Is a Perfect Storm Forming For Distributed Social Networking?

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/is_a_perfect_storm_forming_for_distributed_social_networking.php
"Maybe it's better to host your own. That's the thinking coming from a growing number of early technology adopters as service after service goes down, sells out or otherwise frustrates the users who have published their content online only to see the tools they use become broken or less desirable.
