That might well be true, but I have to assume there are plenty of wealthy financiers out in the world making money from currency speculation, and you and I have never heard of them. It's hard for me to believe 'shady currency speculation' is really the root of the antipathy toward Soros.

It's like those climate change deniers who have a ready list of negative stories about Al Gore: I'm sure Gore has done some obnoxious things in his life, but you get the impression they went digging for dirt to justify their pre-existing distaste for the man.

Contrary data point: over the past month three of my friends have closed their Facebook accounts - and they are not technical people. So it's not only a matter of reputation.
Facebook has had a long period of time where they were boring to the media. Letting them make many mistakes, mostly SV style move fast deal with the consequences later style.

Then they got caught doing (or not) interesting things. Meaning any competent reporter will find LOTS if SV style mistakes when researching the original story.

This is just what happens to anyone/thing that leaves a trail of interesting-ness after they appear in the media the first time. Do you really expect reporters to not report on things they find, or maybe you're asking reporters to be worse at research.
The US government ignores their laws, while Australia passes terrible ones.

This doesn't seem that good an idea, reading about people's chosen stack is somewhat interesting but they all seem somewhat the same, in some cases you know that the stack explanation boils down to this is our hammer, the problem our nail, and anyway the number of meaningful stack combinations seem much less than the number of meaningful questions one can ask on just about any complex subject matter.

maybe I'm just in a curmudgeonly mood.
'Free' could open up new problems. For example, what about the homeless who decide sleeping on a bus all night is better than the street?

'Free' or 'Unlimited' services can quickly find a small proportion of users use far more than a regular amount of the service, often for no big-picture economic gain.
Well, puppeteer can be used for more than test suites (think screenshots, PDF rendering, proxified APIs, ...).

But for running long automated tests, I'd probably look into alternatives like Fargate, where the billing model is per-second with a one minute minimum. Terraform + EC2 spot instances works too, obviously. :)
Why? Because there are a lot of paid propagandists on this site (which is expected, given HN’s influential power).

If a sickness/injury is bad enough to need to fly back to Australia, there's a pretty good chance you won't be allowed on a plane.
Off topic I know but I think this is a group thing, rather than fb specific.

Seen lots of groups display inconsiderate behavior in public, to inconvenience others. Most common example - small group spreads across a pathway to force passers by off the pathway to get by. Always thought it was more of a unconscious dominance sort of thing.
Last time I had the Skype app installed it was trying to clone Snapchat and crashed when I tried to message someone. Admittedly that was a while ago, but I'm not sure where they were trying to go with it.
While we are a Google shop for the most part when it comes to messaging, we use Skype for colleagues in China or when traveling there. It is far better quality compared to Hangouts in the Great Firewall.

For the conspiracy theorists O2 is currently suffering a massive mobile network outage in the UK [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/12/06/o2-network...]. Apparently it has been caused by a third party supplier [https://twitter.com/O2/status/1070612301110226944]. Apparently, O2 uses Huawei [http://telecoms.com/44197/huawei-wins-managed-services-deal-...] but has recently been boasting about moving away from them [can't find a reference].

But someone on twitter is claiming the third party is not Huawei. [https://twitter.com/NicFildes/status/1070606845881008128]

Not legal in Australia unfortunately (it's a bit more nuanced, but many types of secret warrants are already immune to warrant canaries -- so I'm sure a judge would see that these types of secret warrants probably have the same protections). However they do allow statistical information on how many requests they received in a 6-month window.
Can you expand on that? I feel like many people are negative about Vic G so I’m curious about what positive points you might see.
Facebook stopped being cool a decade ago when adults, parents, companies started using it. Like most social media, it started with the young and was cool. Then it got quickly adopted by the adults. If anything, instagram, twitch, tiktok, etc is cool. Facebook is practically a utility now.

I doubt facebook is going to get disrupted any time soon. No more than Elon Musk was going to jail or his businesses ( tesla, spacex ) taken from him. Facebook is more than facebook. It's an ecosystem. It's the preferred login mechanism of a lot of the web. Also, facebook owns Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram. Nearly 1.5 billion people use Messenger alone.

The media is in attack mode against facebook. Everything from the media about them will be exaggerated and negative. So I'd take anything the news about facebook with a grain of salt.

Even the new yorker doesn't believe facebook is going anywhere.

This is based on a false premise, that the Govt will ask developers, and that they would care if it is difficult/infeasible/impossible to actually complete.

None of which is interesting.

Can you be more specific and give examples of "things" you're searching for and what you mean by "uninteresting"?

For me, I have been issuing 50+ random searches on Google every single day for years. I've been using Google since 2000 and it almost always finds what I'm looking for.
Yesterday, I searched for "replace Moen faucet cartridge" and it returned plenty of pages showing exactly how to do it. A week ago I searched for "install Windows 10 from USB drive" and again, it found plenty of helpful pages that answered that question. And recently, I ran across a cook I never heard of before named "Alice Waters". A Google search told me she owned a restaurant and what her specialty was.

In my experience, the topic has to be obscure or brand new for Google searches to be useless. For some trivia, I did find a weird effect of the search algorithm for a person named "Bettina Warburg". She's a young woman who's given several presentations on blockchains[1]. However, for some reason, the Google, Bing, and DDG search results have a side box citing someone else that was born in 1900 and died in 1990[2][3][4]. Something about her is tripping up the search engines. Bing in particular has the odd logic of placing the photos of the still-living BW above the text of the BW who died.

I think at this point, you're just being exceptionally rude to those who devote much of their time and effort to this research. I would recommend sending an apology.

> You seem to be putting words in my mouth. I didn't claim OCEAN wasn't empirically based, nor did I claim that it is used for diagnosis. I said the DSM is used for diagnosis of BPD. I offered OCEAN as an example of the general lack of rigor in the field. Read my post more carefully.

Also, you did claim that it was used for diagnosis. Read your last set of sentences:

> Consider for instance the current system of categorizing personalities: the "Big Five" system (OCEAN). Why is this still a thing? Any sort of primitive GBDT would almost certainly perform better than this, so it's a mystery to me why these crude systems are still being used in the mental health industry in 2018.

I would assume "these" refers to a set of systems inclusive of OCEAN considering it's referred to as the context of the paragraph a few sentences back.

MoviePass, Rattled by a Rough Year, Tries to Change Its Ways
that is true but Huawei isn't just consumer products. Their radio and core network products absolutely suck. Their O&M plane is a disaster no NOC wants to put up with. And their Huawei cloud offering that positions itself as a carrier-grade cloud is worse than digital ocean. Operators choose Huawei because it's cheap not because their features and interoperability and acceptance tests were of better quality then another vendor. They're able to compete below price precisely because they are heavily government funded, and because they stole a lot of IP from the established players and could leapfrog many years of innovation done for them by competitors. Ericsson, Nokia have seen this coming long ago which lead to all these M&A's (starting in the late 90ies till just recently). The only players left now are Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei & ZTE. It doesn't look good for Nokia & Ericsson considering how lazy and half-arsed their presence is in standardization activities and how much of it is actually driven by CENELEC (the Chinese standards-compliance arm of ETSI).

As for consumer products, yes of course they will have to get their money back somewhere. If you're running on one end a shady operation that is to cut the price to levels nobody can compete with and deliver shitty products only developing countries or banana republics want to afford, ... then you need to make up for this somewhere else in order not to expose the whole racket.
On the other hand, most of the big ISPs have been caught not just handing your DNS requests over to advertisers along with the info they have on you, but actually sending back false dns replies because of advertiser money.

And if you compare to what happens on hotels' or other such dns servers.

I'm saying, perhaps things will change at Google, but they'd have to change a whole lot before they'd be as bad as the normal alternative.
It does go further than that. The best introduction is probably the latest annual report:

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

From the report:

"HCSEC is a facility in Banbury, Oxfordshire, belonging to Huawei Technologies (UK) Co Ltd, whose parent company is a Chinese headquartered company which is now one of the world’s largest telecommunications providers.

HCSEC has been running for seven years. It opened in November 2010 under a set of arrangements between Huawei and HMG to mitigate any perceived risks arising from the involvement of Huawei in parts of the UK’s critical national infrastructure. HCSEC provides security evaluation for a range of products used in the UK telecommunications market. Through HCSEC, the UK Government is provided with insight into Huawei’s UK’s strategies and product ranges. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC, and previously GCHQ), as the national technical authority for information assurance and the lead Government operational agency on cyber security, leads for the Government in dealing with HCSEC and with Huawei more generally on technical security matters."

that's how it starts. first the middle managers, then good engineers leave because of said middle managers. then middle managers hire troves of contractors to justify their jobs. then contractors who knows where the bodies are buried become the new engineers. and then you have a Google.
The media doesn't "need" to coordinate on Facebook. They just need to do their job.

Reporters when doing an interest story will as part of their job research further into the subject. Facebook just happens to have a really long trail of SV mentality of move fast and deal with the consequences later. It's Facebook's fault for making themselves really interesting before cleaning themselves.

Can you really blame reporters doing their job, researching an interesting subject, and one that has so much dirt that it's easy to do your job.
But the problem remains the same: how do you keep it a secret? How does the backdoor not get leaked immediately to the press, to the customers of the software, etc?

Sure, this strategy may work in China but Australia is a Western nation where freedom is taken seriously.

"your use of the app constitutes your consent". Well. That's why there's the, um, permission system in Android. Don't want to give app X rights to Y? Well don't then. Yeah, it might break the app, tough beans.

I get a lot of ads on Instagram to products that lead you to Kickstarter/Indiegogo sites.. and they seem to always have 6-digit dollar amounts in backing. What I've read is, that's also fake, like asking your friend to bid on your auction on eBay, they just make a second account, pretend to back the product, and poof, "See, it's a popular product!".

Do the platforms get a percentage from each backing? If so, we can see why they don't care if the product is real or not...
A very close friend of mine is a self-described “revolutionary” (Communist? Marxist? Something like that). She is convinced Facebook is biased against the left and secretly censoring all their content.
> As far as I see it, there is one problem in the world that shadows all other problems: climate change.

This problem certainly tops in the media, but I think this always conveniently omits what are the root causes of climate change: the fact that we have broken economic systems that preach unlimited growth and are effectively wealth inequality creating pyramid schemes.

I guess in a couple of years the dominating news will be collapsing ecosystems and wars, if we don't address root causes.

The law explicitly allows them to target individuals. I don't believe that they gave themselves this power for no reason -- it's much easier to coerce an individual developer (who doesn't have fancy legal council) than force a company to do something. I'm sure they'll do it both ways of course, but I disagree that they'll only target companies.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's lots of fake news related to the recent events but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater by saying that everything that gets shared on social networks is fake news.

In Sweden, this is not a consequence of any law, but by common journalistic practices. Media are protected by constitutional writings that extend very far in terms of the sender's rights to publish.

I'm not quite sure if I understand your question completely. The tool should not be used to trigger a CI pipeline. The idea behind node-publisher was to prevent broken packages being published. A CI helps us in the prevention of these errors before a branch is merged into master. Node-publisher helps with the last mile in those cases where the publishing itself is more complicated than just calling `yarn publish patch` or similar.
