A square can, (you put one node in the middle), but 5 and up can't be both complete and planar.
I would rephrase the question as the following:

My company plans on partaking in a legally grey area with a real potential for liability down the road, do I want my name associated and put my neck out for something I don't believe in?

I think you know the answer already.
I just finished reading "Color of Law", which, while not the best formatted book, gives a really really good overview of the systematic, government led, programs designed and enforced explicitly against african americans from the late 1870s until the 1980s. It's a pretty quick read and well worth it for anyone who thinks that "systematic racism" isn't real.

> > and why should we believe they're the most effective?

1. This quesiton makes no sense. 2. The question is how high the returns are--do they exceed the returns of investment. That would depend on the effectiveness of the charity.

> I believe most charities practice this, I saw a presentation on it with a bunch of accredited investors, don't have the source.

Charities report their opex. I've never seen one listed as 95%. Most are <10%. Some, like Mozilla and ACLU are split between Foundation and Corporation, but most are not.

So...you made some claims. I asked for evidence. You refused. I provided counter-evidence.

I'm pretty sure you're just trolling now. Or arguing in bad faith, at minimum.
yea, that's been one of my goals. I would like to visualize the graph over time to see how the complexity grows.
I think you're right, influencers are going to get bigger. They're kind of like a contracted-out or part-time sales team. Or another way of looking at it, they're living commercials.

Eventually FB will see influences as a challenge to their own ad network (the only ads on FB must go thru FB!), so I agree with you, FB will try to take it over. PS I wonder why you got a downvote.

The context there is important there. He didn’t call them dumbfucks for using Facebook, but made the observation that a small subset that work at the school newspaper are dumbfucks.

Not saying it’s right, but that quote is taken wildly out of context all the time.
"Sharing" is spamming.

I'm interested in what my friends write. I have little interest in what they share, especially if it's commercial content.
Awesome! I think it's important to segregate social media, blog and news media sentiment data. The differences are important, for example, news media will usually run a story on something that already has social buzz. People who post on Medium are probably already invested (in the financial and effort sense) in some side of the conversation. Twitter posts might be fleeting thoughts on a project.

To help beginner's, you might consider some combined number that weighs each rating differently according to what you think is important.
Because unlike a dictator Facebook has zero real power over your life? It's a site of puppies and horoscopes, you think we should be dealing with them like we do Kim Jong Un?

How have we moved so far on the personal responsibility scale. Why aren't people partly responsible for not making better use of their time? Facebook is an "evil echo chamber", "wasting people's lives", "catering to business", etc - ALL THEY DO IS HOST YOUR FRIENDS' PHOTOS. Can't we take partial responsibility at least for how often we _choose_ to log on? Are we that simple that our entire personalities can be fully pwned with some basic machine learning?

Just... get your real friends to text you.

If they won't text you, they're not your real friends. (This isn't always true, but I'd say that it's 95% accurate.)

Mechanical Computing Systems Using Only Links and Rotary Joints
I understand your point, but in this case I understood the concept of tab warming upon reading the name.
As someone who runs a business partly driven by people who use Facebook as a crappy replacement for RSS, I can confirm. Facebook made a change a while back where people who explicitly followed my page to keep up to date on local events and businesses suddenly were not seeing anything I posted. I had to start paying Facebook to keep them showing things to people, but even that is far slower than it had been. Out of about 2000 people following my page, I used to have around 1500 seeing my posts per week, now it's down to under 500.

My readers are pretty upset, complaining to me that I don't post enough anymore and they're missing events they wanted to know about, but I can't make Facebook show them what Facebook doesn't want to show them. I tell the people to go directly to my website, but for a lot of them Facebook is the only website that exists.

It's a small town without a newspaper or any other media outlets, so I'm still trying to figure out how to keep on going because I think it's a worthwhile service. Facebook doesn't make it easy anymore though.
That's a ridiculous generalisation. People are far too quick to throw around the fraud accusation. Unless you have actual evidence of fraud for nearly every one of these token sales that you refer to, it's irresponsible to make such a damaging accusation.
This sounds like a lot of industries I've worked in, most of which involve IT. I'm sort of amazed how many people think it's okay to hurl abuse at other people in general. Don't like a completely voluntary video game? Don't buy the next one and stop playing the game. Maybe submit some feedback on what is causing you not to continue playing and move on. I'm both a child and a parent and while there were a few years where I was will of spit and vinegar and mouth off at other people, I've never felt it okay to send the types of comments that some people think are acceptable (I've looked in case my memory was rose-colored).

What amazes me more are the people who bring this attitude into the real world. I've had my job threatened, co-workers physically threatened (I'm apparently somewhat imposing so I don't get physical threats often), screamed at, had someone shoot a nail gun at me...It never ceases to amaze me how people can have so little respect for themselves or others. Kindness literally costs you nothing, and yet it can often be so hard to find.
For what it's worth, HN's search feature is killer and has never let me down.

Part of the purpose is probably to get access to the talent pool in another part of the country. I suspect cost of living is less of a factor than access to engineers.

Not everyone wants to move to the Bay Area. I for one am one of those people.

My own employer is HQ'd in the Bay Area, and without their office being here they'd be missing out on my meager skillset.

The same is true of most of my coworkers; they don't want to live in the Bay Area. Some did a tour in the Bay to get a good name on their resume, but they've paid their dues and now want to live where they want to live.
What's your criteria for "genuine"?
Twitter did the same thing to devs using their API to make apps.
That sounds like secure scuttlebutt.

Secure Scuttlebutt is a database protocol for unforgeable append-only message feeds.

"Unforgeable" means that only the owner of a feed can update that feed, as enforced by digital signing (see Security properties). This property makes Secure Scuttlebutt useful for peer-to-peer applications. Secure Scuttlebutt also makes it easy to encrypt messages.

Ask HN: What to do when deep interest/specialty isn't a big nascent opportunity?
(Yet.)

Especially in the context of being a student and carving an academic path, it's unclear whether I'll regret pursuing such a deep interest (that may or may not result in $$$ value in the future), or if pursuing the big, nascent fields of tomorrow will be futile if I don't possess deep interest in them.
Facebook has a metric they use to determine if they're going to show people your post, and it has to do with the first few people who see it. If they see it and don't interact with it, it disappears and no one else will see it.

That really reinforces clickbait, but it also makes sure that you absolutely need those first few impressions to really count. Good content doesn't matter if the algorithm keeps it hidden.

What if there is a law against homosexual intercourse? Should people be expected to refrain from participating in it until they can convince enough people in their country to change the law?

If you need to start adding a bunch of qualifications to this principle of illegality being unethical, meaning that if you can't apply it consistently, then it's probably not well founded.
Here's the quote. I don't see how it is has anything to do with newspaper people. He says "anyone at Harvard."

I agree. I've unfollowed so many friends because they are basically little machines designed to share everything they see on Facebook. I'm missing tons of moments from their lives and it gets awkward when my brother asks me if I saw his Facebook post the other day, but man I wish I could choose to see written posts but not shared posts.

Great points. I think showing all of them on a graph separated will allow you to see how each is affecting the overall sentiment. Being able to make custom feeds will also empower you to make your own weights.
> How long do you get to keep your job in academia if you point out the primary drivers of black misery in the US (out of wedlock births, drugs, and violence) are self inflicted?

To "point out" something (in academia or elsewhere), that something must be a fact.
> Not everyone wants to move to the Bay Area.

Amazon is headquartered in Seattle, not the Bay. I think they have some tiny satellite office in Palo Alto.
I am very surprised by the general vibe in here that FB are doing this for the users or to promote responsible social networking. IMHO They poisoned the well by disrespecting their users [1] and are now trying to undo the damage. Just like Apple were very sorry after they got caught slowing iPhones.

> content that makes us angry, anxious or jealous is a much better driver of clicks than content that makes us happy

This might be true. Or it might be a belief we formed to explain Facebook's behaviour, and we now need to start updating our beliefs.

Anyway, assuming it is true, Facebook still must balance two things: (a) get clicks from your existing users (b) get and retain users. In their halcyon days they could take (b) for granted. Perhaps now the market demands some humility from them?
>we will also prioritize posts that spark conversations and meaningful interactions between people.

Ugh... Lately I've had posts from weeks ago sticking to the top of my news feed. It gets really old logging in and seeing exactly the same content day after day, especially knowing things are happening and people are posting but I'm not seeing it.

What we need is more fine-grained filters, Mark. Not your prediction algorithms.
I hand-counted on wikipedia back when Disney said that Expanded Universe wouldn't be canon so will trust your Google or other search. My count would not include anything Disney-related nor movie novelizations.

Point being, they're spending a lot of money and want to play it safe. You can do much more in a novel than a blockbuster movie. They do have decades of past original content to draw off of but there's most likely a larger general movie fanbase than those that did the deep dive into the books so might as well appeal to them.

Since the original question is an is question (specifically, “Given that you want to eat Lobster, what is the method that will get it to your plate with the least amount of suffering”), I’m not sure why you’re trying to turn it into an ought question (about whether we should all be vegetarians)

I don't want my friends texting me everything. That's far more disruptive than a passive feed I can glance at. And I don't want to text my friends everything either.

One of the great things about Facebook is the unexpected social interactions. I post a picture and someone I haven't talked to in a while comments something really great on it and sparks a conversation and rekindles the friendship. That's not going to happen over text.

People in my life on a daily basis are in my life on a daily basis. People in my life occasionally are on Facebook.

That only happens for certain drugs, typically treatment naive diabetes, IBD and other chronic disease patients where in the US there’s a standard treatment the patients receive right away so they have to go overseas to find untreated patients. That being said often those treatments will still have to come back to the US to run trials later on for approval on the population here.

I wonder if enough of the core-base was eroding that they were forced to make this change. I've been logged out of Facebook since October, and I know a few other friends who have as well. That's not really relevant, except that this group all had membership on Facebook at the 1 year mark - early 2005.

I don't understand why TLS-SNI can't work fine if you just have the response certificate be entirely distinct from the server name.

EG: LE sends a challenge of a.b.c.acme.invalid

You must reply with a certificate of d.e.f.acme.invalid

Doesn't that entirely mitigate the shared hosting issue since any shared hosting setup will require SNI to match the certificate name that you reply with?

FB does far more than host photos. In addition to being a platform to disseminate any sort of media, from cat videos to news to political commentary (so much so that they developed Instant Articles), it serves as a platform for text/video chat, event coordination among friends and organizations, web pages for small businesses, forums (which is basically what a Group is), games, and countless other stuff I haven’t listed here.

Facebook really does want to be your homepage and their products currently released all point to an all encompassing strategy to get you to stay on Facebook in order to look at more ads. In light of their ambitious strategy that extends far beyond the scope of traditional media, it really is not something to laugh off.
There is actually a push here (ignoring mandated public funded trials) because the Minority populations are becoming large enough that if a diabetes drug that was better in black people existed there’s a massive underserved customer base. Follow the money...
What's sexist about what she wrote? (let alone 'extremely'?) I'm having trouble seeing it.

this is intriguing. since the links and rotary joints will be susceptible to friction I wonder if you could pump oil through the machine to remove any shavings that might be created.

It certainly is using a different mechanical approach than the Differential Machine.
Neither the Democratic party nor the Republican party are monolithic. This is an issue where party affiliation isn't as predictive of behavior as some others, but there clearly are a lot of politicians who have strong opinions about surveillance. Just because those differences don't exactly fall along party lines doesn't mean that Democrats and Republicans are all the same.

I don't have much faith in the Democratic party as an institution to protect privacy, but many Democrats are trying to do so.

It worked fine for me when it was chronological previously - albeit, I was using it differently.

In fact, I would say its harder to find stuff nowadays because if you close the page and then come back and the algorithm has weighted something off the page, you can't find it again.

Back in the day, I used to use it like a messageboard essentially, communicating at peak times with my group of friends.

If there was a post I was communicating on earlier, notifications let me know it was still happening, or I could go onto the page of the person who wrote the status.

Nowadays, its more like a blog of the popular stuff and I see the same people dominating my feed and the same posts appear for long periods - which is one of the reasons I go onto it very rarely nowadays.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's not what I enjoyed about it back when I actually used it regularly.
To be fair though, we are really close with cancer. Like really really close. cfDNA is revolutionary for our measurements. Crispr is revolutionary for understanding. So close.

Just curious, on what do you base this opinion? Do you work in cancer research, or another biomedical field? These tools will definitely advance our understanding, but my feeling (as someone who worked in genomics for several years, though not in cancer) is that if you think "we are really close" to curing cancer (pardon me if I misinterpreted your statement) with these technologies, you are buying into a lot of hype around them. It's natural that that hype exists, though, given how much VC money is being poured into this area right now.
Important to note, Facebook has been hiding posts by pages in the feed to users in Eastern Europe (Serbia, where I live), and it results in a much cleaner and less noisy feed, but people can still go to the Explore Feed and see posts by pages...

I don't know why this was downvoted, it's a very reasonable assumption given the scale and spread of people who knew. Sure there's no evidence of any actual attacks exploiting this vulnerability, but that doesn't mean we can discount the chance that it was known to malicious parties before the wider public.
What I do not understand is what do they think is on a phone? If they have the phone in possession, then it is assumed that it belonged to someone that has been charged.

It’s also a bunch of young people, who tend to assume that turning the rhetorical volume up to 11 does something more than inspire disgust. Chan “culture” has not helped. people with the most time to burn are asymmetrically advantaged in this, as are the enraged. Can any of us really compete in terms of obsessive devotion, with a 1-issue poster? An angry, lonely person, a mentally ill person, or a teen with attitude? They’ll burn more cycles screaming than anyone else can or will reasoning, and they’re happy to just be a nuisance, or be heard.

Then you have the hyperfans, who can finally stalk and abuse from an anonymous distance. They don’t need to even leave their hovels to do it, or look someone in the eye.

My main complaint is, people explicitly chose to follow my content and got used to seeing it... and now it's all gone. They still follow, but they don't see. Even if I pay, it's not guaranteed to hit the same audience I had before.
