I tend to agree with this. We need a way to natively address the complete set of each platform's capabilities without needing to worry about them falling out of lockstep if some centralized maintenance entity decides they're no longer sufficiently incentivized to maintain their social contract with their framework adopters. It may indeed be the case that we can already accomplish this with properly written (concrete implementation agnostic) modular code but fmpov there's no complete solution being offered to the public at present. My hope is that in the next few years we get to see Google adopt Swift. Then it's just a matter of reinventing the browser so we can build native web apps in Swift as well. :P
Facebook didn't launch with a newsfeed.

I was once told of this expression: It doesn't matter whether the rock hits the egg or the egg his the rock. The egg will break.

If you are the egg, either get out or prepare to suffer (#4). It looks like in this case the CTO feels he/she is the egg and a wrong choice has been made.

If "it is definitely happening" then I would suggest #3, find another job and be merry :)

From cryptonector's post:

> I know there's a setting.
The mistake is to take the users' comments at face value, IMHO. They are not that upset about a game; something else in their lives is painful for them and they are taking it out on you. They are unable to deal with their emotions otherwise. That perspective can help in a couple of ways:

First, you know it has nothing to do with you or your game; you are just an object, a mental construction, at which they unload their anger; they might as well be talking to the pin-up poster on their wall (or to the pixels which form an enemy on their screen). Second, if you realize these are troubled people who feel powerless; if you have some empathy for them; they lose their power over how you feel. Here's a recent story about the comedian Sarah Silverman taking that approach and going a step further, with amazing results:

http://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/blog/sarah-silverman-s-response-to...

Also, it may be important to ask why so many young males (if that's the demographic) have such emotional problems, why so many can't process their emotions effectively and feel so vulnerable. I think we sort of take it for granted that young males (and to a degree, all males) can't process emotions and act out, but I think that's a mistake.
A cop-out? No, it's an explanation. How are you going to reverse the trend? First you have to understand the underlying factors. It's incredibly naive to think this type of impulse never existed before just because it's permanently recorded and visible for the first time.
Wait, Facebook cares about engagement between people instead of between people and ad-supported lowest common demoninator content? Could have fooled me over the past several years. I’m really cynical about FB but it really has earned it.

I hope it becomes more useful, because for me their original value proposition to users was great but has totally lost its way as they’ve monetized.
Then work to reform the regulations. There's a perfectly consistent position in thinking that the circumvention of unethical rules is itself unethical.
I'll add Transcendence and Lucy. Despite having relatively bad rating, they have unique plots, that in my opinion are a bit closer to what could actually happen.
There's a meaningful difference between journalists and advertisers. I know it's fashionable to bash "the media" but I wouldn't want to live in a world without journalism. Advertising I could take or leave.

Thanks! So, would you say the future for recommendation is deep learning? While I am not opposed to it, I find it very opaque.
I think it's a completely fair assessment of apples to apples comparison. Each browser in it's natural first installed state. How is that an unfair comparison?

Yes it's absolutely deliberate. He's been using the term specifically a lot lately.
We have a web application developed in elixir, it's really amazing.

Ohhh. Ok Totally forgot about that. Actually I partly sold it so I don't have to worry about the account as I was sort of 'pruning' my password manager. Also partly because, I commented a while ago that I think it's a bit of a rigid, unforgiving technology, compared to e.g. using banks or such for money, where you can get someone to fix any messed up transactions, rather than having to crack sha 256 or whatever if you misplace a secret key. (My guess is that the price will only go up, but have to act according to philosophical beliefs sometimes I guess).
> The problem with dns-01 is that it much of the time, it requires granting far too much privilege to the system that requests the certificate. This is because the great majority of DNS hosts do not provide sufficiently granular permissions to only allow changes to _acme-challenge RRs.

There's a cool solution to this that I learned from someone else on the Let's Encrypt forums (where I often help do support). The Let's Encrypt DNS-01 validator will follow CNAMEs. Therefore, you can make _acme-challenge be a CNAME to an arbitrary text record which can be in another zone (including a zone dedicated for this purpose). For example, you could say

_acme-challenge.example.com. IN CNAME foo.acmevalidation.example.net.

Now an application can just have API keys to update RRs under acmevalidation.example.net, which does not need to be used for any other purpose (or even necessarily hosted on the same infrastructure as example.com's own DNS). The CNAME can be created manually at the outset and does not need to be updated for renewals.

This has been possible for a long time, but if it becomes more widely known and more widely supported by client applications and DNS providers, it should make use of DNS-01 authentication much more practical, and safer, for a pretty wide range of people.
I looked through my newsfeed this week for the first time in several months.

I thought the amount of trash posts and videos (which caused me to leave Facebook) had greatly declined, but wasn’t sure why. If it’s related to this change, it’s a good start.

While I’m skeptical of Facebook, I appreciate their attempt to improve if it’s genuine.
...or maybe you've quit another job, or moved across the country, or any number of things that aren't easily reversible decisions. Not everyone is 20 years old, single and childless.

Point is, negotiate a salary that meets your needs, and treat the stock options like lottery tickets, because that's what they are.
I very much hope this isn't just words. The core problem, IMO, is that content that makes us angry, anxious or jealous is a much better driver of clicks than content that makes us happy. I'm sure Facebook knows this. If they really mean it, they'll accept that they will make less money as a result of this change. It would be the right decision in the long term, but the short term will hurt.

> there is some beautiful sidescroller game I've seen where the animation looks like old-school Fleischer studio cartoons. Do devs of games like that get abuse from players, too?

You're probably talking about Cuphead. Yes, the devs have gotten an enormous amount of abuse from that game.
Your list of friends that you should be keeping up with should be small.
> You don't know what you're talking about.

Whoa there. That escalated quickly.

You're absolutely right about the protocol, but protocol does not a complete wireless ecosystem make. You could have a shitty protocol and happy customers, or a great protocol and upset customers.

Also, just because two industries are dominated by oligopolies doesn't mean that consumers in both are suffering the same. One can put the customers' interest slightly ahead of another. It's like having the assumption that authoritarianism automatically means people are suffering. It's just unhealthy and unstable. Every once in a while you can still get benevolent dictators doing something nice ;)

Just from personal experience, I know the cell phone fees in China are a lower % of people's incomes than here. The speeds aren't amazing (but that's probably because I rarely browse any domestic sites while in China). But I've also never had a dropped call or lack of signal until I got waaaaaaaay out in the mountains / rural parts of China, where as here I will still occasionally get my calls dropped or have spotty reception near a well-populated suburb.

yes please! The reason I don't use facebook anymore is because it doesn't present me anything I care about. Just memes, news and updates in some sale groups I am part of. I'm not complaining that it doesn't hog me as much as it used to, but the reason why I still have a account is to keep in touch with friends and acquaintances and see what's going in in their life
Buy a $35 Raspberry Pi and setup Pi-hole; now all of your browsers are fast, as well as your mobile phones, TVs, and other devices.

I prefer Firefox and derivatives because I can hack the guts to make it do what I want. I also run uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes, Privacy Badger, No Coin, and others. I also block HTTP/S referrer, visited links (history visbile to websites), geo location, WebRTC (prevents sites from seeing your private address schema), and others. I also use a proxy server that allows me to appear from different regions. I also block access to font discovery. Yes, I realise this creates a unique "fingerprint" of my systems, but I've never had malware, or rogue Javascript.

This is done for all devices on my network under my control. Needless to say, with the Pi-hole and other settings, speed and bandwidth are great. Highly recommended.
Actually, 宿 means "constellation" in this context. It appears in the name of every constellation, not just Orion's belt. Its original meaning is to stay/sleep in a common house (lots 百 of people 人 under a roof 宀), usually overnight, hence the association with night guards. Chinese constellations are houses, commonly translated as "mansions".

It's the letter in the left (参) that is specific to Orion's belt, and it means "three". It's a fancier version of 三. So the whole name just means "constellation of the three".

I'm the person who suggested above that generals and hunters might be related. Having found no reference to any generals, I think this whole subthread is pointless.

I have long critiqued Facebook for chasing after ad revenue at the expense of the experience they offer users. In light of this news, the following quote comes to mind: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

I generally feel that Facebook has traveled so far in the wrong direction, coming back to any sense of morality will be an extremely hard job. That being said, I wonder if they truly understood the extent of their "shady" tactics. It's all too easy to focus on shareholders and forget about the real people using your service. All told, this does at least feel like a step in the right direction.
It would be useful to link to the blogs, so we can better understand what is being discussed.

But, some people on blogs trying it and then some of them saying a diet works is not really scientific. What would be needed is a larger scientific study. You can argue that such a study should be funded.

In fact, there does appear to be some scientific research, based on some quick googling [1]. If your goal is to increase the adoption diets based on those studies, then I would cite them directly. Promoting that work might work better.

First it was an option to still use the chronological list. Then the option was only temporary. Then they buried the option under Feeds > Most Recent. Sometimes it's even hidden and you have to hit "See More..." and scroll down. Even then it's only temporary until you re-open the app. A dark pattern for sure.
And, since there are a limited number of high quality teachers, you could argue that society is better off allocating those teachers to areas where social conditions are primed to match.

Your board members are crypto enthusiasts so I would recommend getting somebody who is very knowledgeable in crypto to 1) assess if crypto is a good fit for the company 2) if yes, then how to go about executing it in a way that it's legal and profitable.

It's possible that you may be proven wrong or likey that you're right. Either way, it would be hard for a board of say no to such an idea and it would delay the execution of it to such time as when your investments can vest. If they still move forward by then and you're uncomfortable despite all this, you can leave as soon as your stocks have vested. Your goal today is to delay, secondary is to convince.
You can share a cache on a physical CPU without having shared address space.

KVM virtual machines making use of Extended Page Tables or Nested Page Tables do not share an address space with their host or other guests, however, they are susceptible to Spectre v2, for example. (This was the PZ PoC for variant 2)
I once had an interview where I was told they did a bit of functional programming, but experience with FP wasn't a requirement. They flew me out and interviewed me. A few days later, they rejected me. I asked them if they had any feedback for me and, surprisingly, they answered! They said I was rejected because I didn't have enough FP experience.

This is just to illustrate that "It's not you" may sound trite, but it's true.
Yea, at this point I'd be willing to pay $10/month for a social network that respected my privacy, didn't bombard me with ads, and just generally treated me as a customer, rather than product.

The trick of course is convincing anyone who isn't me to pay :)

Heck, maybe it should be a non-profit.
It might not be quite as bad as you think. I imagine Martian farmers would be doing something like hydroponics. The soil and water might come from mars but the actual plants grow in tiny, isolated compartments within buildings. I doubt the resource scarcity would allow for anything resembling a more traditional farm.

I'm guessing that this change won't affect the dopamine-release strategy they were engaging with before. There are far more issues with Facebook rather than the need to tweak the network to ad post ratio in the news feed.
Make sure you have some stock or coins and enjoy the nice pop and free money you get....
OTOH it’s absurd that if you want to see again that post you saw last week — or this morning! — you probably can’t find it

Forgive my ignorance, don’t have a FB account, but there’s no “search the feed” functionality? That crazy, WTH is the point if something blips by and I have no way to find it again? Something something monetization, but it seems like that would be a major oversight.

But silly me, I’m probably making the mistake of looking at it from the user’s perspective.

Regardless of whether you’re right or wrong, or they listen to you or not, you should probably leave the company. When it gets to the point that you think your peers are engaging in fraud out of desperation to keep the company afloat, I don’t see what you gain by staying.

I believe this is step 1 in entering/dominating another industry: influencer marketing. Hear me out. I have 3 friends who have started “influencer marketing” companies that fly out 20 or so influencers, and brands pay for posts during their trip. I’m not too well attuned to the economics of it, but from what I can see, it’s profitable.

Facebooks move of doing this is probably to ultimately purposefully change the incentives for advertisers. Now, advertisers, who have went all in to social networks will have to retain that channel, since it happens to work so well. And they’ll be paying more per ad, as a result of the economics of this new marketing paradigm. Influencers (when FB takes over this market, I’m sure they/we won’t be called that) and Facebook is, please excuse my use of a buzzword, a true synergy. I mean, who wouldn’t want free stuff* (with the catch that you have to post about the product x times in a given time frame)? By using the whole network as a conduit for advertising, I think this is going to be huge.

The US is on a very short list of countries that do not provide maternity leave and iirc it is the only country on that list that does not have the excuse that we are too poor and underdeveloped to afford it. We could start with just providing maternity leave as a small step forward here. It is a well proven model with lots of examples out there and not terribly open to abuse because you have to have a baby to get it.

I would be fine if we provided parental leave for both parents when a child is born. But I would be happy with just bringing the US into the 21st century and getting on the same page as basically the rest of the planet and just starting with maternity leave. I only mention parental leave because if I don't, you can guarantee someone will accuse me of something nefarious for not explicitly stating that.
I also wouldn't be surprised if there's a default positive correlation between angry or confrontational gamers (writing abuse or not) and games designed around having "stab your enemy in the face" as part of their marketing and gameplay loop.
