TL;DR; Big business wants a big fat government handout.
The article demonstrates a specific way that "bad" ideas can become more deeply ingrained.

I am mildly agnostic towards the amount of contribution man is making towards temperature change, I've read reasonable people with various opinions on it. I consider myself an environmentalist, I think the clean air act was a good thing and I am fine with government regulations around the environment, since it is a commons towards which we have an intergenerational stewardship relationship.

However, when I see skepticism towards man-caused climate change lumped in with believing in lizard people, I can feel myself physically becoming more dug in in my skepticism.

This is not rational, of course: it's a "yeah, well fuck you" reaction. And perhaps it reflects poorly on me. Certainly it will earn me no karma here, nor among the people I usually associate with. But, nonetheless, it is a phenomenological reality, pushing me more deeply into what the author considers a bad idea.

Indeed. One wishes this criticism was raised more frequently to self-criticism.
If the Democratic machine chose Mark Zuckerburg as presidential nominee, I would vote Republican or third party for the first time in my life.

For someone with so much information about each of us, he is astoundingly tone-deaf when it comes to public criticism of Facebook and it's profound negative side effects, whether it's fake news, Facebook Live streaming of murders, or simply the effect that social media has on a brain developed for survival on the savannah.

Mark Zuckerberg knows too much about us. And yet, he understands surprisingly little.

Yeah I drink a consistent amount of Monster every day, and I work out very regularly. I have subscriptions for Monster and for my particular brand of whey. I can't think of anything else -- though cat litter is a perfect example, too -- that I'd sign up for a subscription for. Even my deodorant seems to be used at different rates.
There is literally never a thread on HN where comments like these --- or whatever their left-leaning equivalent might be --- are appropriate. This isn't discussion, it's vandalism.
The 10 most watched TV shows doesn't give as much info as the top 10 primetime tv programs. 7 out of the 10 shows that are aired regularly are NOT sports. These one off events are big for the networks that have the rights to air them but they exist for one day and do not obtain ownership of the content afterwards. On the other hand regular programs last for approximately a dozen episodes or more and can still maintain viewership with reruns. Other than the NFL, there is nothing that has a comparable draw.

But that diverges from my main assertion that with less time available to working people, people prefer to follow a story with familiar characters in a 1-hr window rather than have to watch a 3-hour affair between two random teams.

It won't impact Yelp's pagerank, it will only impact your business site's pagerank (likely in a negative way). In essence you're saying "don't use Yelp to evaluate my site's reputation." Which would likely de-rank you and could result in Yelp appearing before the official site of your business.
But it doesn't. Even the US is moving away from liberalism. Consider the increasing restrictions on and fading support for freedom of speech, the most fundamental of liberal values.

> I think it could be a great way to raise money for some kind of cause though.

I'd like to see some proof that the charity-runner isn't going to abscond with the money once it was done, either due to maliciousness, or even something like getting stressed out over success (like some Kickstarters have done.)

(And yeah, I know - it's not like it's a Bitcoin/blockchain only problem - but at least with "real" money, there's typically a system in place where you can at least start trying to get the money back.)

Is there a better source for this than SemiAccurate? The article doesn't really have much beyond self-aggrandizement and "we can't tell you any details, but you're screwed". For something that could be anything from "Charlie Demerjian heard a rumor about a ME patch and wanted some pageviews" to the actual security apocalypse, I'd like credible sources.
It's very late, but I'm here with another recommendation. I use Astra brand safety razors. I get a pack of 100 for less than ten dollars. They always seem to last much longer than any of those disposable blades I used to buy (e.g. Mach 3). A lot longer.

Full towers have a couple benefits against smaller cases, thermals and space for expansion (internal hdd's, additional graphics cards, etc.). Smaller cases really suffer from lack of expansion space and often severely restrict the components you can use just based on the volume you can work with.

The short version is that every Intel platform with AMT, ISM, and SBT from Nehalem in 2008 to Kaby Lake in 2017 has a remotely exploitable security hole in the ME (Management Engine) not CPU firmware.

We knew this would happen. We knew that the Management Engine was a backdoor, and we knew it was only a matter of time before someone would figure out how to exploit it. This is exactly the reason why Libreboot exists (https://libreboot.org/faq.html#intel). And now, far from being the tinfoil hat distro that is often portrayed, it will become a bare necessity.
Yes. It is his uncontrollable urge for getting thousands of corporate IT admins to disable the Management Engine, at it again.
I'd love it if he would run and would lose. That way all the dirt about Facebook would finally come to light. I'm sure that more than one FB employee would feel honor bound to make sure the degree of transparency would go up a couple of notches.

Squarespace have the right to do business with whomever they choose to. Do they want to work with White Supremacists? Cool, that's fine, let them do that.

But it isn't acceptable for them to have a terms of service that explicitly bans bigotry and hate speech, while at the same time making money off exactly that. Maybe they don't realize their own hypocrisy, but that is their prerogative to watch out for.

Integrity is when your actions and your words are aligned. I'm interested to see how they respond to this.

I'm extremely concerned about the ethics around converting Facebook into an election machine. Three issues concern me:

1. Using the platform to push his campaign

2. Using the platform to suppress opposition press and views

3. Using the data analytics to gain an unfair advantage

Whichever party is on the receiving end of that candidacy has all rights to be pissed and somewhat concerned. It's not a fair advantage. Last saturday, my s/o got a push notification to watch Zuckerberg have a "drive about chat" with the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, so it's already happening.

Charging handicapped people fees doesn't make sense. I mean it's literally charging someone for being injured. (On top of that, many of them are on some kind of welfare which means the state would be taking back money they just gave the person.)

Just because someone can walk from the closest parking space into a store doesn't mean they aren't injured and don't need a placard. So opening the article that way really demonstrates a lack of understanding.
It's not obvious enough how to see the image. It's linked from the image at the top and there is a link at the bottom, but you should add something more obvious like "look at the current image!!!"

Two reasons I've heard given are that: this year he's had the stated goal of visiting all the states in the US (seemingly with a large focus on meeting "everyday people"), and that he's publicly changed his view on religion to be more positive about it.
I don't think anyone is making these stories up, but with tens of thousands of businesses on Yelp, the chances of these two events randomly happening sequentially is high enough to have a steady stream of people who think it happened to them intentionally.

Also, I've been reading these anecdotes on HN and other sites for years, and have never seen anyone tell this story and provide enough data for anyone to take a look themselves. Never a link to the business page on Yelp, never any links to the supposed negative reviews. Has a news organization ever asked Yelp to explain the specifics of any of these occurrences? Has any explanation ever turned up in the discovery phase of a case against Yelp?
You dont need a hackintosh to run a great mac for cheap(er).
I picked up a 2012 mac mini off CL with 2.5 i5 and dropped in a SSD and maxed RAM to 16GB. Runs silent in a small package. Also added a 28" 4K off craigslist (although it'll only drive up to 2k). All for under $900
It doesn't have to be that people are making stuff up. Yelp is a big site, and there will always be some people who have really bad luck, even if everyone's being honest. If popular opinion focuses on those stories, and no one really tells the stories of people who have good experiences (because why would you tell a boring story :p), it can sound like Yelp is making it happen deliberately.

Maybe the pattern is that cynically betting on weakness doesn't work as a long-term strategy.
There are similar programs that are used in the UK where kids do a ride-along at a tech firm and then after a year they disappear forever. It's frustrating because it is unwise not to shop around and all you get is a warm body for a year or so.
An enormous problem is this:

"We want someone with years of experience, but we want to only pay an entry-level wage." - If most companies were honest

A friend of mine is still struggling with this. Nobody wants to hire him, because he doesn't have years of professional experience and didn't have access to a good four-year college where he lives (Nowhere Wisconsin), and there are medical complications preventing him from moving away.

I personally taught him a great deal about programming and security. He's studied computers and networks for years before we met. He's talented, coachable, and willing to learn more.

The market fails people like him.
Are there other possibilities besides the presidency?

Even for photons sent through one at a time? Nope. That's not behavior associated with any type of wave.
At Timehop we currently work with a single instance AWS Aurora (MySQL-ish) database with over 40TB of data (plus a read-only replica on a smaller instance). Some stats: 1.5MB/sec receive throughput, 10MB/sec transmit throughput, commit latency around 3-4ms (with very occasional spikes to 10-20ms), select & commit counts are about 300/s, and select latency hovers around 35ms (we do about a dozen unions per query though).

All in all it's the easiest relational database I've ever worked with in terms of stability, speed, and scalability. I know this sounds like an ad for Aurora, but I just really like it.
So much negativity in the comments. I don't think he'd be ready for the presidency but if we starts a public service career based on decent opinions and policies, augmented by his wealth and reach so he doesn't need to sell out to campaign financiers, couldn't a good thing come out of it? I don't think having been successful with Facebook is enough to bury him already, same way is not enough to vote for him yet, he needs to make his case. Presidency would be too hasty of course, he'd need to put 10-15 years of public service first I'd say, if he wants to capitalize on his fame to launch a marketing bid at the office then no.
Is that different than the link?
Heh. The fish does not notice the water.
It's not about heavy-handedness, it's that `attr_accessor` breaks encapsulation of private state and code very rarely takes into account what actually updating that member variable does.

It's used mostly because novice Rubyists are told that that's how you make a variable accessible, not that that's how you make it read-writable. In C#, on the other hand, when you create a property that's the moral equivalent, there's a lot more of a focus on creating getter-only properties that reveal state but don't let you munge it.

Ruby is also pretty bad about using #freeze and #taint, but the latter is a lost cause.
Not sure you can think of it as good or bad. The government takes away rights from someone people and grants them to others. I have the right to own land and make it so you can't use it because "we the people say so." good for me, bad for you.

I guess there's a net win now that I think about it. I could have protected with a club. good for me, good for you because I didn't club you in the head.

My wife runs a small business and is furious with Yelp. She gets a lot of 5 star reviews, legitimate ones from customers she knows, but Yelp embargoes lots of them and doesn't display them on her Yelp page. She gets frequent cold calls from their sales department, promising that if she signs up for advertising, they can get those 5 star reviews un-embargoed and live on her page.

I didn't down vote (or answer). I don't have an opinion on the bias, having only read through the scientific report, but do think the science on the IPCC side looks better than anything I've seen on the other side, and that reasons for it being biased exist on both sides. Therefore tend to side with what looks like the better science.
That would seem like the strategy used. Mark all the low ratings as "fake" until the business stops paying. Just do a review again. "ohh these weren't fake" reviews and restore them.

Whether that'd be happen or not would have to be seen, but if nothing else, the process would be entertaining.
Or, like me, they just don't find the idea of making money from advertisements to be unethical in the slightest. (To be clear, I don't work for either Facebook or Google.)
I suspect that is because they're afraid that their 'two star reviews' become 'zero star reviews'. Just like you don't complain about Mafia customer service in public.
In typical usage, do you need the type hints much? I saw ":: Float" in there for the df example, for instance.
A subset of restaurant owners will get negative reviews after cancellations, it doesn't necessarily mean that those two things are correlated. Neither the Reddit post, nor the comment you link to actually bother to link to these negative reviews. It would go a long way to show even the slightest bit of evidence.

The word "own" is pretty meaningless. What does "own" even mean? Classes and objects (thought of as "types") are an organizing principle for organizing your functions.
