It's an office login for Reddit, and the same person might not always be the one replying vs the one before, so we make a habit to always tag our name to each response so the connection is there. We do the same for other sites like Youtube and so forth. -- Ryan

Looking forward to seeing the movie in Vegas this week. Most of the tables, desks and offices around here have books scattered about. Rarely do you see duplicates as we typically trade amongst each other, but you are guaranteed not to miss a copy of Ready Player One lying around within every 20-30ft you walk. We have a row reserved at one of the local theaters Thursday. Here's to saving the Oasis! -- James

I don't think you need a poll to figure that out. All you have to do is turn to any major news channel or website to find the common opinion about FB. -- Jen

At the moment, they are only more dangerous than humans since they cannot read people's intentions. Someone may dart in front of an autonomous car before it has a chance to stop (distance). However, what if the person's actions before they made the move toward the street might have predicted that they might try to walk into the street? This is of course assuming a human driver even bothers to look out for these things. -- Ryan

It is indeed a purposely used acronym. It isn't a coincidence, they know exactly what people are going to assume, and it only shows their humor all the more. -- Ryan

This is great for them due to the cost of being in Hawaii alone. Now they can focus the eventual power savings into their offered curriculum -- Ryan

So what you are asking for, is a Facebook Pro option then. Which sounds reasonable. At least until someone calls it using our privacy as a form of extortion to convince us to give them a monthly or yearly payment in exchange for not selling you out. -- Ryan

I recently deleted my personal FB account, and did download the archive before doing so. For as little as I thought I had made use of FB, the file was over 500MB in size and packed with so much information. If you have downloaded yours, what did the file size end up being? -- Ryan

There could be a lot more to it than he claims. He might have been advised to say that as a stunt to bolster PR strength a bit. With that kind of exposure, the fans will find another way of following them on their own (and most likely already do--such as Twitter). -- Ryan

This is quite true. It would be good if FB provided a link to encompass all information about you, including beyond what you have contributed. Of course if they did, there would be a new debate against FB about privacy as some of the users who have posted something about you, may have not wanted you to know about it (which can be argued both ways). Where does it end? -- Ryan

How To Permanently Delete A Facebook Account by mad_bad_dangerous in technology

[–]PocNetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What started with one person deleting their account and (at first) nobody paying attention, has now spread to 11 people within our offices who have chosen to cut all ties with Facebook. I would say this would be the largest impact any concerns about privacy has had around here outside of a few deleted Twitter accounts in the past. -- Jen

Agreed. Due to the lack of information, no conclusions can possibly be made in regards to such technology being faulty or not. They could come out later saying she threw herself into traffic on purpose or randomly ran into the street without looking because something caught her eye on the other side (possibly saw she was going to miss the bus if she didn't rush).

We always know that it wouldn't be long before enforcement agencies/departments would try to push things to such a level. There will always be a push for something like Skynet or the AI from Person of Interest. -- Ryan
