The context of that quote is talking about the trust of merchants which sell products on Amazon, not the trust of consumers (which is what your link is). Consumers of course don't care if Amazon rips off merchants.
As long as consumers trust Amazon and don't trust the merchants, it doesn't matter. They have to use Amazon anyway. This is presented as a strategic problem for Amazon, but it isn't.
Not sure about Texas, but as a Canadian in California on H1b I was able to buy a gun after completing a hunter education course and getting a hunting license. A fellow Canadian on TN did the same.
So I read up on this. If FB Dating is almost a separate network (you have to opt-in) then what's the point?
Given the profile example, it seems hard to be somewhat pseudonymous... I could probably look that person up as a 2nd - 3rd order connection on FB or e.g. Linkedin.
Tinder used to require a connection with your Facebook account so that you could only use pictures that you've used in your profile-picture history on Facebook.
I thought it was brilliant because now all pictures have to at least pass the social proof of being one of your public profile pics. It's more trustworthy. Though they've since relaxed the requirement, probably because they didn't want to be so tied to Facebook.
It's true that you can often google/facebook search matches on dating sites. I have done that before just to get a better idea of who someone is. But that already exists.
But I think there is value in enforcing a Facebook profile linkage to a dating profile. It's hard to bullshit, and it's harder for someone to then waste your time.
Nice! It would be cool if the recommendations gave a hint of why it was recommended (e.g. "We recommended this because X liked Y on Facebook, or pinned Z on pinterest")
Chat. This section showed some old chat conversations. All data was rather recent, which means that chat messages were deleted sooner or later. It is unclear if this section is still existing after facebook recently merged its chat and messaging function into one, but seems if all chat messages are now following the rules of normal messages.
Note: According to facebook’s privacy policy messages will never be deleted.

Body Hey, do you want to stay at my place tonight?
What does an 18 month co-op give you that graduating earlier and starting work doesn't?
The thing I liked about 4-8 month co-ops at UW was that I didn't necessarily know what I wanted to end up doing. This way I got to try working in a whole bunch of situations to find what I ultimately enjoyed most. I did co-ops in southern California, Silicon Valley, NYC, and around Canada. I worked for startups, big companies, and even the government. I hopped around in different industries too: semiconductors, fuel cell research, mobile devices and internet. Ultimately by the time I graduated I had tested the waters of industry in a variety of ways, gained a ton of life experiences, gotten really good at having a big impact at work in a short period of time, and had an offer to return full time to my last (and favourite) co-op employer.
See the response I gave to potatolicious. Because you didn't know what you wanted to pursue and wanted to sample around, I'd say you're within one of the cases where coop is a good value.
