How the Facebook User Experience hacked Friendship

Two friends met face to face after a long time.

Dude, said one, Why did you block me on FB

Look bro, replied the second friend, you unfriended me first

Hey I am sorry maan, said the first friend. I was just pissed at your Status Message

Which one, asked the first

I dont know, replied two

Why didnt you just unfollow me bro, asked the first. Stop seeing my posts but still remain friends

Oh crap, said the second friend. That User Experience of Facebook is so complicated

Friendship should never complicated, said the first

There are ways of making friends without the internet, said the second

and the two friends remained friends ever after

Can you teach coding to kids in a mobile game app in local languages

Do you need to be good in English to learn coding in R or Python?

How young can we train people in coding-

something we worked on for six months but now we are giving up due to lack of funds is this idea.

From The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8: Tell Tale Signs [Disc 1]

Fat man lookin’ in a blade of steel
Thin man lookin’ at his last meal
Hollow man lookin’ in a cottonfield
For dignity

Wise man lookin’ in a blade of grass
Young man lookin’ in the shadows that pass
Poor man lookin’ through painted glass
For dignity

Somebody got murdered on New Year’s Eve
Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, went into the town
Went into the land of the midnight sun

Searchin’ high, searchin’ low
Searchin’ everywhere I know
Askin’ the cops wherever I go
Have you seen dignity?

Blind man breakin’ out of a trance
Puts both his hands in the pockets of chance
Hopin’ to find one circumstance
Of dignity

I went to the wedding of Mary-lou
She said she don’t want nobody see me talkin’ to you?
Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew
About dignity

I went down where the vultures feed
I would’ve got deeper, but there wasn’t any need
Heard the tongues of angels and the tongues of men
Wasn’t any difference to me

Chilly wind sharp as a razor blade
House on fire, debts unpaid
Gonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maid
Have you seen dignity?

Drinkin’ man listens to the voice he hears
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors
Lookin’ into the lost forgotten years
For dignity

Met Prince Phillip at the home of the blues
Said he’d give me information if his name wasn’t used
He wanted money up front, said he was abused
By dignity

Footprints runnin’ cross the sliver sand
Steps goin’ down into tattoo land
I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light
In the bordertowns of despair

Got no place to fade, got no coat
I’m on the rollin’ river in a jerkin’ boat
Tryin’ to read a note somebody wrote
About dignity

Sick man lookin’ for the doctor’s cure
Lookin’ at his hands for the lines that were
And into every masterpiece of literature
for dignity

Englishman stranded in the blackheart wind
Combin’ his hair back, his future looks thin
Bites the bullet and he looks within
For dignity

Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed
Dignity never been photographed
I went into the red, went into the black
Into the valley of dry bone dreams

So many roads, so much at stake
So many dead ends, I’m at the edge of the lake
Sometimes I wonder what it’s gonna take
To find dignity

I dont see the point of paying 30 $ every six months for an obsolete design when FB groups are more free and more easy to operate.  Privacy guidelines and spam control is just a button away on FB. LinkedIn groups are even more different.

Traps to avoid if you are a grey hat hacker

  1. Bait and Switch – used to plant embedded malware or logging systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bait-and-switch the action (generally illegal) of advertising goods which are an apparent bargain, with the intention of substituting inferior or more expensive goods. It can be avoided by periodically changing your hardware and software with a reliance for open source and open market and of course by avoiding things that are too good to be true.
  2. The Honey Traphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_trapping
    a stratagem in which an attractive person entices another person into revealing information or doing something unwise. This one got Julian Assange
  3. The Honey Pot  –https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot_(computing) a honeypot is a trap set to detect, deflect, or, in some manner, counteract attempts at unauthorized use of information systems. Generally, a honeypot consists of a computer, data, or a network site that appears to be part of a network, but is actually isolated and monitored, and which seems to contain information or a resource of value to attackers. This is similar to the police baiting a criminal and then conducting undercover surveillance. This one got Sabu.
  4. The Tax Trap- This one got Al Capone. Since there is no evidence against your cyber activities they put you in tax court based on the mismatch of your income and expenditure. It can be avoided by creating appropriate legal mechanisms including corporations.
  5. The Informer Trap– God can protect you against your enemies but not your friends. This can be avoided by delineating the personal private and professional life of your activities in different compartments, hardware and virtual machines including your own personality and brain. Reveal you true identity to boast and you will end up a Reservoir Dog
