So I'm curious after reading this, since Facebook lives off advertising, do advertisers hold Facebook accountable for generating a certain # of clickthroughs, or heavens forbid, some other ROI metric for their advertising dollars?

Or are advertisers just funneling money into FB regardless of any measurable impact on their revenue just because there are "N millions/billions of active users" monthly on it?

They could certainly claim this even if you logged in once a day, never looked at any ads and then just left. Why continue to pay money for advertising?

For Google, I can see how it makes sense, because you are already in "search mode" for something, so if they pop in an ad that is even semi-relevant, you might click on it - I know I have... but Facebook?

It seems that money follows eyeballs...whether those eyeballs actually deliver any value... who cares. Or am I off?

Domain Modeling Made Functional: Tackle Software Complexity
The issue isn't that they aren't honoring requests to delete data. The issue is that they've tied their success and the usefulness of their product strictly to the weakening of user privacy and the necessity to provide them as much such data as possible.
This is a pet theory but the guitar hero/rock band craze seemed to prop up the real guitar industry for a bit, suddenly kids everywhere knew who Slash is and got a $150 guitar for Christmas, when it declined around 2010 I think they lost some of that market.
You could also argue it's a small contribution ( don't want to give it too much credit) to the creation of `incel` which now has driven multiple frustrated young men to commit mass murders.
But there's a good reason for that -- as long as legislatures keep making it ILLEGAL to use such a feature, can you really blame Apple for not wanting to offer it?
The sales person over-promised in order to land the sale and Bell tried to retroactively modify the terms of the contract (pricing). Hopefully this causes CSRs to cut that shit out and be more upfront about pricing.

It's nothing but ugly and slimy bullshit.

Engaging in social media is largely an anti-social activity.

How many times have you been in a restaurant, bar, or other public space, and noticed groups of people all staring at their phones on 'social' media, rather than engaging in the actual social situation around them? Or how many times have you been at someones house, or even in your own home, and looked to find a child, friend, partner, family member, staring at their phone, rather than engaging with the real world? How many times has that person been you, staring blindly into the screen rather than engaging with actual humans around you?

The pictures of a samurai woman wielding a flaming katana far overshadowed my initial interest in the lens and camera!
I paid my rent and living expenses when pursuing my Masters degree by writing papers for services that helped undergrads cheat on class/term papers.

I don't regret it at all. It helped me become a faster, more efficient author, and in my experience, the sort of student that would pay someone else to buy a paper will end up failing out one way or another regardless. I knew people that paid for papers in undergrand, and most either flunked out, or barely graduated and ended up worse off than our other classmates in terms of job/grad school prospects.

RailModeller Pro 6.0.7 for Mac – Mac Torrents with Crack
> Many companies' CSRs are under strict instructions to hang up if they ever get so much as a hint that the conversation may be recorded.

This was our policy when I was doing tech support and I enforced it a small handful of times.
>I'm curious whether there are any other languages that are naturally "punny".

I never thought of this before, although I know some Sanskrit (having learned it for some years in school) - but due to its overall design and the fact that words can be built up from other words, and also due to many short words having potentially many meanings (and hence longer words built up from short words, even more so), I think there is probably a lot of scope in Sanskrit for punning. Sanskrit poetry probably has a lot of it, but likely prose too. A very rich and enjoyable language to study, even just for its own sake, i.e. even if you are not studying it in order to understand Indian philosophies, yoga, etc.

Center for Social Media Responsibility | Senior Research Engineer | San Francisco, Ann Arbor, or remote | Visa (H1B Cap Exempt) | Full-Time (or Part-Time/Fellow for the right person) | https://www.si.umich.edu/research/center-social-media-respon...

The Center for Social Media Responsibility’s (CSMR) mission is to ensure that the social media platforms that impact our public discourse (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.) are designed and operated with the responsibility that befits their scale and power.

A core CSMR focus area is the creation of "Platform Health Grades"—a set of metrics that capture the positive and negative impacts of platforms on discourse—on challenges like misinformation, harassment, polarization, etc. Platforms and teams are rewarded for shipping products and moving metrics; so we are focused on creating useful metrics that inform the product creation, evolution, and measurement processes, leading to both internal and external accountability.

As the Senior Research Engineer, you will be the lead engineer for Platform Health Grades and other key projects. This involves designing, developing, and owning the core data infrastructure, as well as executing and owning the data collection and analysis components. You will be ingesting data from sources including platform firehoses, scraped websites, and a variety of partners; and classifying and aggregating that data, working with UMSI researchers and other partners. The ideal candidate would be excited to have a formative impact in a fast-paced organization focused on ensuring that technology serves humanity.

CSMR is part of the University of Michigan School of Information, and this position could be based in Ann Arbor, San Francisco, or remote. The ideal candidate would be a full-time employee, but part-time, contract, or a fixed term fellowship is also possible.

Contact csmr-info@umich.edu if you’re interested in learning more.
They probably intentionally selected things to delete to cripple the experience. It's a way of forcing people bad-mouthing facebook to put their money where their mouth is. If critics don't use this feature, they can put the blame solely on them.
Well, if they'd gone high enough, neither you nor I would be sitting here right now reading this piece of negative publicity about Bell.
The C2 page is a wiki (the orginal). The page contains several viewpoints by different authors. Among them is the view that the division into a 2x2 table is incomplete/incorrect/of-limited-utility. For me, the relationship of declarative languages to the ordinary usage of "goal" is much stronger (for me at least) than the vague terms used to create the 2x2 table. To put it another way, I find the premise dubious. For me, it is useful to keep in mind the truth table of conditional statements in modal logic:

a -> b
b = T b = F
+--------+--------+
a = T | T | F |
+--------+--------+
a = F | T | T |
+--------+--------+

For me, the statement about there being some fourth category is trivially true because the division into two categories is false.
If your site is configured with A records, you’ll need to change the IPs it’s pointing to before you’ll be able to get a cert:

185.199.108.153
185.199.109.153
185.199.110.153
185.199.111.153

From: https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-an-apex-domain/

EDIT: You’ll also need to remove and re-add the domain in the repository settings after doing that too to trigger it to request a cert.
I'm not really sure what the threat model is here. If the attacker can control what encoding scheme you use, surely you have much more serious problems than the possibility of wasting space.
How about a way to delete past activity? The fact that there's no option for "delete all my old posts, comments, likes, and photos" is infuriating. I don't need a record of my inane crap from high school on the same platform as work friends.
Would some enterprising HN’er please manufacture these? My wife would love this.
> there was immense trust, and lifestyle invested in the brand, and immense pressure as an engineer to live up to all these people’s expectations.

Agreed, and this emotional involvement goes a long way to explaining Apple's legendary margins and ability to sell upgrades with increasingly unexciting advancements.

> On the ground floor, we weren’t worried about missing earnings or slowing user growth, we were worried that “Bob” who runs his media company on a Mac will be frustrated by a change in numbers or iCloud, or that the new iPhone wouldn’t make people feel like they had the best technology in the world.

This seems much less true to me. There are many, many examples of poor design choices or imperfect implementations. A recent pet peeve of mine is that I simply cannot decipher how the Facetime contacts and call initiation design works. Somehow I got it working and now can pick a name from the recent calls list, but how I managed to get it to that state is utterly beyond me. This is an absolutely fundamental capability, and yet completely not clear.

This could be said about so many different aspects of Apple products that I find it hard to believe that concern for user happiness and understanding is really that big of an explicit concern. Rather, I suspect any concern is tangential to something else.
The Startup That Will Vet You for Your Next Job
You’d have to constantly turn your boat to the right to stay on course.
I can imagine this spectacularly backfiring... "Facebook tracked all those sites I visited?!?" (What was the joke about porn videos having "Like" buttons?).

I look forward to the even more damage control...

The Guardian coverage (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/01/facebook-...) has this quote like a parent explaining to a 5 year old why they shouldn't delete cookies:

> Zuckerberg also cautioned users against clearing cookies in their browser, saying “it can make parts of your experience worse”, and adding, “Your Facebook won’t be as good while it relearns your preferences.”

I wonder why he's so afraid of people clearing his tracking pixels.
Facebook quietly ended Free Basics in Myanmar and other countries
In this context, "what do I get in return?" is a question that is only (seriously) asked by two kinds of people: those who can't stand the thought of having less than the absolute maximum they could get, and those who parrot the words of the former group without thinking.

In my opinion, it's pointless to reason with the former, but if I had to try, my answer would be "You still get to be rich, you know, nobody's saying we'll take everything you have."

It's the latter group that is a lot more important to convince, though.

Yes, exactly. I vividly remember the first day I met my cabin mates at summer camp when I was younger. I thought I'd won the reverse lottery--the lamest group of people I'd ever encountered in my entire life. Still friends with some of them nearly two decades later. :)
They "consider themselves independent", but they are not independent. See: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/01/11/in... https://www.thenation.com/article/what-everyone-gets-wrong-a... https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/05/donald-trump... http://republic3-0.com/myth-independent-voter-stefan-hankin/

> the fact that we have switched between democrat and republican presidents regularly is proof that enough people change their vote

Not really. Only half the eligible voters actually vote in presidential elections. Different voters come out to vote at different times in different states for different reasons, and some of those may switch their vote, but the majority vote along party lines as noted in the above articles.

The presidential elections are swung by having more ideologically extreme past presidents. Two terms of Clinton led to two terms of Bush led to two terms of Obama leads into two terms of Trump, and then we'll have two terms of Bernie or something equally extreme, like a transgender asexual black mexican jew. (And I just looked it up - there is a transgender queer black mexican rabbi in Chicago, but unfortunately you can't get elected in this country without being a proud Christian)
For decades there's been a growing vein of economic and legal scholarship that goes something like:

1) Strong property rights are good: they make economic transactions efficient and promote investment

2) Copyrights are property rights

3) Strong copyrights are good: they make economic transactions efficient and promote investment

The scholarship is literally just that simple, and almost completely discounts or ignores all the obvious costs and caveats. This type of reductionism and equivocation is endemic to the modern economic and legal academies and doesn't show much sign of abating anytime soon.
It has an input method that lets you type the non ASCII characters more easily. The default uses the super key (windows key) like alt uses alt, bit there's also a mode that allows you to prefix things with ., So e.g. to get rho you type .r, and to get an actual . you type .., which I find more ergonomic. And you can launch the repl from inside emacs as well. I'm mostly a vim user myself, and have been using it with spacemacs for a more familiar experience.
> You know you can just enter a fake name, right?

Do the terms of service explicitly say that's ok? Sounds like a great way to get my account deactivated pre-date with no way to contact the other person.

(Most smart people hold off on phone numbers until they've met someone)
As someone that used to write papers for cheaters: it doesn't bother me much, because higher education is already eating itself alive in the US. The impact of a few students paying others to author papers on their behalf is nothing compared to the massive grade inflation one sees at top universities in the US.
> The same applies to completely ignoring GDPR, whether it's enforceable or not.

It is as laughable as it gets. Let me guess:

1. You never cross a street not on a crosswalk
2. You never drive above speed limit
3. You never signup for the same website twice if their TOS say "you shall have only one account"?
...

And so many other silly statements.

Laws are only useful if they cab be enforced. This law cannot be enforced against any entity not in jurisdiction.
Indeed. I've discovered it can make major mistakes on who's "important" to me - I'd thought they'd stopped Facebooking, but it turned out their algorithm had for some reason deemed them not to be a "close" friend and de-emphasized them from my feed.
