It is a voluntary relationship, but both parties have stakes in it and provide certain benefits and possibly some negatives to each other. That's how every relationship works and that doesn't make it abusive.
I'm surprised, I'm sure the number of likes would fall on Facebook if they switched to using hearts.

People seem to have a personal/emotional attachment to the heart symbol, which makes it suitable for social networks like Instagram, because you can love a picture! But a Donald Trump status? Not so much.

How does this compare to StartSSL?
Re:Tänzer – An industrial web server framework for Tcl on Friday November 14, 2014 @09:59AM (#8607385)
How prevalent is Tcl usage in the real world? You don't hear much about it, are there any new startups adopting it? Or is it only used in legacy projects at large companies?

Happy birthday, FreeBSD! You were one of the many operating systems I experimented with back in my teenage years, along with countless Linux distributions. The popularity has waned [1] but good to know it is still active :)

Looks interesting. What are the typical use cases for this? Why would companies running on Outlook use this?

Re:Regalii (S2013) Eases Money Transfer To Latin America on Thursday May 29, 2014 @04:26PM (#7818407)
Thought this would be similar to the European TransferWise and TransferGo startups, but this doesn't transfer money directly. Makes it apparent how different the financial situation is in Latin America.
Similar experience in UK (Edinburgh, at least). Startup companies are dying to hire great devs, but the vast amount of people applying for tech jobs lack the necessary skills.
