1) make a closed beta (so you have to get an invite to participate).

2) willingly promote pseudonym. Enforce as much as possible single profile, but adopt the "circles" concept from google+

3) pay celebrities to get in.

4) pay a weekly $100 to top 50 "most" active users (where you define what "most" active means. instead of one top 50, it can be five top 10). Pay "internal" money for the rest of the top 100. Internal money is a lot, e.g 1USD is 9999

5) pay top 5 celebrities real money too

6) manufacture your own celebrities.

7) pay "internal" money for every bit of information the user provide (location, "taste", purchase made elsewhere). Make is SUPER easy to report.

8) add games where user can spend the "internal" money

9) add dating

10) add cheap content (ala buzzfeed). and longer form serialized fiction (romance, scifi,erotica...).

11) add "chic" content that user have to pay internal money to get it.

12) gamify content access with "limited exclusive" content and other tricks.

13) pay other sites to adopt your internal money as a way to get "digital" stuff.

14) do an ICO for the "internal" money as soon as it has some traction.

15) be heavily "one-handed editorialized" on opiniated content generation, to cover all possible angles.

16) once there is a bit of traction, make sure to have a few "scandals" for people to want to be "inside" your closed world. Stay an invite-only club.

17) Make a paid API to have an "ecosystem" of add-ons ($100 a year). And take a % of payment (only done with your internal money) to incite ecosystem to charge.
Even though this is the correct thing to do, I don't like it that this book got a special treatment. Will other books that have received bad reviews from non-verified purchasers have those reviews removed?
That's not what I meant. I'm interested in the UX. When I accidentally click to purchase an IAP currently, nothing happens until I actually confirm it with TouchID. With FaceID it could presumably already have confirmed the purchase because I looked at the screen too long.
You are right. The story of Sept 2017 is this one: "HEY, TURN BLUETOOTH OFF WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING IT" https://www.wired.com/story/turn-off-bluetooth-security/ , original: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3990994-Armis-WP-Blu...
Right, that's why those people would, in this system, not be allowed to review it on Amazon. Because Amazon doesn't know whether the reviewer has or hasn't obtained the book at all.
>“Trust us, we'd never use it against the people it's supposed to protect” isn't enough.

The correct answer to this is always "Since legislation is freeform and you're writing it now anyway, maybe you should write that it should never be used that way into the legislation".
I meant "make feature animated films". During the late 80's, before more 'sophisticated'; build tools polluted developer's young brains, early visual effects were "nothing more" than complex Makefiles triggering renders and composites. All one needed was a facility that looked at the date stamp of two files, and if one was older that meant these series of command lines is executed. Beyond very basic #define style macro substitution, that was all that was used to create many feature film effects, as well as nearly ever single early 3D animated renderer produced animation before 1992.
Based on the other comments so far, it sounds like HN'ers mostly don't use facebook and don't miss it. Fair enough, but I'm in the same camp as the article's author, and looking for a way out. I might be unique, but I didn't really have much of a social life before facebook. That's not causal relationship - before 2007ish I was a very introverted kid who didn't know how to make friends or form strong relationships. All of my good friendships came into existence after about 2009, when I started to learn how to socialize better, and for the most part, facebook is my main contact point with all those people. That's only because facbook was the dominant communication method during that time. But there it is, and I'm stuck with it, and I can't seem to get unstuck. I want to hear about the new babies, jobs, city moves, projects, and parties that people have going on, and facebook is the best way to get that info. But 90% of what you get there is political garbage, pointless memes, MLMs, and facebook's own "manufactured content". It's frustrating and it's making me unhappy too.

The thing that kills Facebook will also take out Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, and a large chunk of the internet in one fell swoop.

It's going to be decentralized with zero ads or monetization of user data. Its adoption would be best served with an above-board advertising campaign to decimate the public's view of Facebook. It will also leverage an existing company's technology, and merely be a value-add to that company's core business.

Actually, I would say that you were missing the critical point that he is making in the article. It's not an addiction in this case, I also would like to get off Facebook, and I am certainly not addicted to it since I check in on it maybe once a month. But I stay for the same reason the author does, which is that everyone I know is on there, and I don't have an easy way to stay in touch with them otherwise.
>> You have $1BN, how do you disrupt Facebook?

You will raise not $1B but $100 BILLION if you can convince investors that you'll disrupt FB. The problem is....you know what it is.
I don't understand why they even try, Debian stable seem to have an almost arbitrary selection of outdated ruby and python libraries, at this point that hardly seems worth the effort. Sure I get the idea, but it obviously doesn't work in practice.
Their security methodology also seems heavily flawed, to backport security fixes to older versions is neither scalable nor particularly reliable. I sincerely doubt that Debian can provide adequate security to its almost 50,000 packages. If the security community would invest equal amount of resources that they invest in finding flaws in iOS or Chrome, nothing would be left of Debian but a pile of smoking ashes.
Zoe Quinn's recent book also had a similar (and predictable) skew between verified purchasers and non-verified. There's probably an amusing 'ethics in Amazon reviewing' joke to be made there but I'll quit halfway.
Well if you believe the story that Russia bought a 100k in ads and hit 70 million ppl with them and influenced the Presidential election...then anything is possible.
That's incredibly misguided. Tell us more about how Netflix is a "sucker" for relying on AWS. Do you really think every company wants or needs to employ people to operate their own hardware?
It's frustrating how people seem not to think it's wildly, ludicrously incompetent for nothing in your architecture to complain about your front end servers querying 140m records. The fact they don't have even the most basic data access controls in place make me assume they're still fully owned.

You're playing IT if you can't deploy a CVE fix in 60 days.

Finally, they only did this because of greed. They encourage online disputes because it saves them money and gives them greater rights vis-a-vis paper disputes delivered to them via snail mail. They could simply have taken the service down if if they couldn't deploy a security patch in two months.

Amateur hour everywhere.

ps -- the data controls I mentioned above were implemented in a company of ~15 eng dealing with similar PII. If you owned front end servers you could query individual records, but you would have to own more services to be able to "\copy (select * from data) to /legit.file; gzip /legit.file; scp /legit.file.gz $MY_SERVER". And if you tried pagers would have gone off all over the company.
Same here. Most, if not all, bands/labels/party organizers I know are on FB. Even the more underground ones eventually switched. And last time I checked there was still no proper alternative (and the forums I used to frequent for that same goal are gone or close to dead, mostly because of FB). For me this is the key value of FB, the solcial aspect is close to non-existing for me, most of my 'friends' being blocked so their messages don't generate noise amongst the messages from bands I do want to see.

I do realize this makes me a bit of an outlier though: none of the typical science/articles about FB, like this one, applies to me because I'm not in it for the social part. I do understand it though; just like I'd urge hose who are like 'I got rid of FB and didn't miss it one moment' to realize that while it's possible that worked for you, some people just don't have that luxury of being able to easily quit. I'd also miss FB if it were to disappear tomorrow, but mainly because I'd had to spend time and search for a new practical tool which does the same as what I use it for now.

Mapping the Monado
What's even the point of using rebase? Merging the development branch into your feature branch periodically is the obvious history preserving thing.

Git already has merge commits, that can be used to label and describe bigger sets of changes in retrospect. There is no need to rewrite the commit history with the benefit of hindsight, it only erases the record of how changes were arrived at, thus losing the opportunity to revisit conclusions from debugging or experiments.

You can also use merge commits to describe sub-units of work in your feature branch. Just rename your branch to some subtask and merge that into your feature branch.

edit: towards the middle of the article, the author also opines
"What motivates people to rebase branches? ...
I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s about vanity. Rebasing is a purely aesthetic operation. The apparently clean history appeals to us as developers, but it can’t be justified, from a technical nor functional standpoint."
Nitpick: as far as I know budget airlines, at least in Europe/US, don't have a worse safety record than others.
On the contrary, as someone who lives in a place where lottery winners are allowed to remain anonymous, I find it bizarre that these states are willing to give out such full information (even for winnings as small as $600) to anyone who asks, not just to law enforcement investigating potential fraud.

The chance of your life getting ruined after winning the lottery is proportional (among other factors) to the number of people who know that you've suddenly landed a fortune and want a favor. I once read an article about people who continued to live normally after winning the lottery. Most of them only told a few people and tried not to draw attention. One man didn't even tell his wife until he lost his job a few years later and had to explain to her why she shouldn't be worried at all!

But that's going to be impossible if the state publishes your name and the exact amount of your winnings for anyone to see. They might as well publish everyone's tax records, too, including Trump's that everyone's been asking for.
Ok, I am not be the "usual" reader of Hacker News (HN). I am reading HN since 2012 for disclaimer.

So basically, Facebook (FB) is for socializing in real life. Since I am currently in exchange, It is useful to create parties and to invite people to them. It is also useful to talk with your friend on the other side of the earth (more than Whatsapp), to keep up to date with them. And it is also the best way to get into groups, to exchange ideas, or into the group of your university.

So basically, FB is my social life. Do I like that ? No. But would i have a social life without FB ? No. Most of the people here are seeing FB as the devil, but it helps me to invite to parties girls I want to hang out with or get invited to parties, and since everyone (or most of the people, more most of the people) are looking for raising their number of friends on Facebook, it is really useful to connect with new peoples. But, yes, I am invited to parties without FB, but not as much.

Also, for group projects, it is the closest thing to Slack for College students.

So as much as I hate FB, it is really useful, sadly.
They're totally separate businesses. The people that treat Netflix like their customer aren't the same people making strategic decisions about Amazon Prime. Amazon is a ridiculously large company.

This is the point. We non Facebook users decided we don't care enough about that stuff. Or at least not until someone tells us about it in person.

There's no real problem with hearing half a year late that a friend of a friend, who is also a direct acquaintance of sorts, became a parent.
Check out Kumu[0], it's similar to what you're talking about.

Also a piece of advice about graph visualizations: never show your user a raw graph vis of any kind, because it's UX suicide. If I had a dollar for every time I've seen CS grads make a force-directed graph vis and think it constituted something usable, I'd be rich.

well, it is not the biggest electric truck even.
So they did this because PDP is "racist" (which is, btw, too deep a conclusion to draw from a single word said in a heat of a virtual battle) but used a DMCA notice that implies that the copyrighted content is used without the owner's permission, i.e. stolen. Clearly, it is not stolen, so they're lying and falsely accusing PDP of a crime. They're totally free to sue PDP, but on what he actually did with all the due process (a defender, etc.). What they chose to do is an abuse of power. The fact that the person being abused is not, perhaps, all pleasant, and they don't want to associate with him, does not excuse the abuse.
Thank you for this! I've been re-learning Linear Algebra since my question[1] was answered on an earlier HN thread[2] on fast.ai. This will definitely help.

Is there any book which actually explains where matrix and its rules come from? Instead of throwing on you matrix multiplication rules in dogmatic way so you blindly follow them like mindless robot?

I know there are lectures in YouTube from 3Blue1Brown:

So I want a book which covers linear algebra in the similar manner.
I'm not sure why I get this response. You seem to imply I have issue with the quality of Apple's next gen implementation, which I have twice explained I don't. Or you imply that I can't have an opinion on the concept of and hassle involved with face unlocking in general, which (as I also already explained) has been around for years and Apple clearly has not made any conceptual changes to.

Let me clarify for the third time. My opinion is the following: no face unlock mechanism can be as good as a fingerprint unlock for the flexibility and speed of use as explained above. FaceID will likely be far and away the best face unlock method we've ever seen but it's still a face unlock method and therefore slower and more restrictive than a fingerprint unlock. What I don't get is that nobody else is talking about it, because Apple has successfully spun the discussion to be about the quality of FaceID as opposed to the (lack of) merits for face unlocking on smartphones.

I'd actually be excited to have face unlock on laptops and PCs (actually that exists already as Windows Hello, but dedicated hardware would be nice). But on phones I consider it to be inferior to fingerprints conceptually.
Don't blame me, I don't make the rules. That's at least how we Americans pronounce it. Then again, we mispronounce quite a few things, so it may have a more localized pronunciation in its native language regions. I can't speak for those, as I wouldn't know.

Worse than clickbait this belongs in the "fake news" garbage bin.

Not biased at all, the first paragraph starts :

"During the 2016 US presidential election, Donald Trump galvanized a small but powerfully vicious fan base in his campaign against Hillary Clinton. Ten months after Clinton was defeated, things are getting nasty again."

Labeling Donald Trump's fan base as "small" and "vicious" is rather absurd. Apparently so small that he won the election. Absurd drivel. And misleading headline as others here have pointed out.
I'm not surprised, but I'm unfamiliar with larger trucks that are solely electric powered.

Oh, I see. I was thinking it was a before-the-murders photo, yikes.
The reason they don't do this is that the people with pre-publication access to the book, while mostly the authors friends and family, are the only source of reviews for buyers looking at Amazon on launch day. They don't want to throw away those reviews, and those readers obviously didn't buy on Amazon.
>It seems like people becoming increasingly physically isolated and not connecting even with neighbors makes online connections valuable.

This kind of thinking never held much water with me. You don't get to choose your neighbors, the odds that they'll be compatible with you in the way that might lead to meaningful friendships is extremely low.

None of my parents friends are former neighbors. Lots of them are former church-goers from the various churches they've attended though. I think that shows that you really only need one thing in common to help filter out the majority of the population. If you like bowling, take up bowling, and I bet you'll find quite a few people you get on with quite well. Ditto paintball, and obviously ditto friday night drinking.

But the idea that Facebook is "ruining the connection we used to have with the people around us" is pretty much nonsense. We never really cared that much about the people around us, neighbors were always just acquaintances.

The fossil fuels industry pays extremely high tax rates on their profits and has for decades (Exxon and Chevron typically average near 35%, among the highest corporate tax rates anywhere). They've been subsidizing the research into renewables for a very long time.

While I agree there should be zero subsidies for fossil fuels, the corporate taxes they've paid drastically outweigh the modest subsidies the fossil fuel corporations have received. The only way that isn't the case, is if one includes extremely fuzzy environmental damage estimates (in which case nearly every industry that has ever existed has been theoretically massively subsidized).

It's been 2 years that I have deleted both my FB accounts (one for family and friends, the other for business), my IG account and my Twitter account. All accounts had many years of activity and substantial following. I never looked back and I am very much happier.

What made me decide is that I realized that I had become an self inflicted obligation to create content to feed my online personas every days. Basically I was doing things in my real life that I did not want to do just to feed a virtual person's life (mine) on other people's websites to impress my friends and contacts. This is insane.

The first time I saw Make used in feature production was reviewing the "Last StarFigher" (1984) digital archives. This was after years of working in scientific visualization, and skirting VFX. Previously, while working in visualizations, Make was king for creating NASA, research publication and geologic animations. Much later, I saw Make in heavy use when entering the visual effects industry, but this was after another 15 years in the console video game industry. It was an incredibly welcome realization, after the, frankly, incredible cluster fuck and demoralizing experience of 15 years creating video games, to learn that the rational UNIX-paradigm (small simple tools) community I'd grown up in was alive in the VFX industry. Returning to the 'old school developers' I'd left in the left 80's was so reassuring to learn the tech world had not completely been brainwashed.
