I advise not making overly aggressive insinuations if you want your comments to be taken seriously: "But maybe you really hate your in-laws." Was that really a necessary addition? Even if it is possibly damaging I don't see any reason to assume malicious intent rather than ignorance.

So those factors listed essentially encompass your personality and dictate why a person does any action.

In that case, how do we hold anyone personally responsible for anything considering that the reason a person does any action is a result of their genetics and the environment they grow in?

Not criticizing, just wondering how others reconcile this.

That is the core of their business though and that fact seems pretty clear from basic research, what did you expect? If you find advertising/tracking reprehensible, why would you agree to an interview in the first place?

If they made their current net annual income for the entirety of their existence (not even close), then they would've needed to be taxed ~50% to have reached $1 trillion in taxes.

I get (or at least hope) that it's an exaggeration, but I'm not too keen on seemingly witty phrases without substance that get repeated everywhere.

My bet would be that the contract's early termination would lead to some heavy penalty that effectively forces them to continue.

Well I'd hope it wouldn't make it work worse.

Not one of the downvoters, but the general mindset is that if you thank someone and emphasize their comment, you should've just upvoted because you didn't really add anything to the thread.

Of course your customers having more money means that businesses will try to capture that excess, that's the foundation of price discrimination. The whole concept of coupons is that some customers with more money won't care enough about the price difference, so they'll ignore the coupons and pay full retail price while more price sensitive customers will use the coupon and pay less.

They're losing $20 million a month, if they were losing that per day that'd really be something. Probably would be out of business in a few weeks.

Wasn't this already known though? There was an undiscovered bug that allowed organizations access greater than they were supposed to have, I feel like it's beating a dead horse by this point.

I believe in certain places that if you withhold the information of being HIV positive from someone you have sex with and infect them, it's a pretty serious crime. I think it might even be a crime if you don't infect them.

Maybe because I don’t typically work with authentication software? I feel like that’s not a hard conclusion to reach, don’t understand the incredulous response...

I use my Facebook as the login mechanism for MyFitnessPal, I wonder if that means my Facebook password has been stolen as well.

Better change it, sigh...

It certainly can be daunting at first, I generally just get a bit frustrated when people assert a task is too hard when all it really requires is some concentration and research.

If the argument were "I have other things I prefer to spend time on" then I would completely understand, but rejecting it as too hard seems somewhat lazy unless I'm just overestimating the average person's ability.

I really don't think the original commenter was implying that everyone was an American or that the American system was the proper way to do things, especially based on his/her other posts. I see this kind of comment all the time, and it doesn't appear to be constructive but antagonistic.
