Ask HN: Facebook Business Manager hacked and now locked out of accounts
Sorry in advance, but it's my turn for HN big tech support.

Our Meta/Facebook Business Manager account was hacked July 12, despite having 2FA. The hackers got away with spending $800k on scam ads and got our business manager & all ad accounts blocked.

We’re an adtech business and are losing tens of thousands in revenue per day until our ad accounts are re-instated. We have several open tickets with Meta/Facebook but not getting in contact with anyone who seems to be able to help. Almost 2 weeks later and still no update.

Anyone at Meta/FB that can help or point us in the right direction?

Thanks in advance
A nice dream is to think what would happen when the budget of the environmental agencies would switch with the military globally. Imagine having 800 billion a year to fix things!
Oh come on my '12 Odyssey has all that stuff besides the turbo and is happily approaching 200k miles. I see older Odysseys like '04-'08 on the road approximately all of the time. That stuff does not "all break before 100k". It would be interesting to see MTBF info for these new features, complexity _is_ typically the enemy of reliability, but handwaving based on your feeling isn't it.
Ironically Python is now fast approaching the kitchen sink status.
Agree. Video mentions that sports fans likely care and that they only wanted future signed updated, the petition though as far as I am able to tell mentions neither of these points:

>And honestly, we should be spending $$$$ on food development research. We're going to need to know how to grow food in new ways soon, as the old ways have reached their limits. Food seems kind of important...

Eh, not really.

A whole lot of the world's agriculture is done far from optimally. Funding agriculture university programs in Africa with extension programs like the land grant universities in the US would do great things. Disseminating information, tools, and capital for "third world" farms is the best thing that can be done for global food supplies.

Though most things probably look pretty similar in visible light.
That’s the other side (the consumer-facing side) of the coin, “half my marketing budget is wasted. I just don’t know which”
This only works if wage growth keeps up with the inflation.

> feel like all this sugarcoat is just to excesively protect people's feelings, a tendency that is spreading everywhere lately.

The most rational thing someone can do is accept the reality that acknowledging feelings and emotion are a pre-requisite to problem solving.
Slight tangent, but I bought a 2012 Civic shortly before switching to working at home. It has about 50k miles now.

I've been surprised by the results of simply leaving it outside that long. Weather stripping around the windows has dried out and cracked. And I have actual lichen growing on the car's exterior.

But other stuff has held up great. The paint (ignoring the lichen colonies), the tires, etc. And thanks to the wacky market these past years, its resale value.
Because the senior dev always says no.
Because of global warming? Then I'd like to point out that the biggest changes in climate have been in the arctic and temperate regions so far, and that's likely to continue for some time. Yes, of course places that are already hotter are closer to becoming unlivably hot, but there are quite a few of places in the tropics that really aren't that hot; for one thing temperatures are more stable around the year. I live at 17 degrees South and even in the height of Summer it hasn't gotten above 34 degrees Celsius here, and that's very rare, usually in February (Southern hemisphere Summer, you know) midday temps are around 32 degrees.
Don't get me started on low-profiles wheels. 3x more expensive tires and poor ride quality, all for just the bling factor. It's getting hard to find new cars that even leave the factory with standard wheels anymore.
Current minivan market is batshit crazy. We've had dealerships call us up offering thousands more than we paid for our (used) minivan three or four years ago, with 1/3 the mileage it has now. It's basically gone up in value by about as much as it should have dropped in value, in a normal market. I assume they expect to make a profit, so must be pretty sure they can sell it for even more than that. WTF.
All of those gate keeping mechanisms have systemic issues and need to be reformed at the very least. "Removed" might be a bit strong, but I definitely see how one could reach that perspective. Regardless, they certainly have lost the credibility to claim any monopolistic authority over the domains they purport to serve.
I would guess that they're defining "upper middle class" via income quintiles rather than via lifestyle. Those numbers roughly line up with the boundaries for the 4th quintile in 2017, 77k-126k. 2020's fourth quintile was 85k-141k.

> I wouldn’t consider that an upper middle class lifestyle.

I don't know that the conceptual upper middle class lifestyle actually matches the reality anymore. I think that's true of most quintiles. The upper middle class lives like the middle class used to, the middle class lives like the lower middle class used to, etc.

That "upper middle class lifestyle" upshifted and is the domain of the lower rungs of the top quintile now.
Not sure, but even if Amazon allowed more free public domain books, it wouldn't make much sense to post there because their store is so saturated with low-quality junk editions. There isn't much point in being on the 20th page of search results for "Pride and Prejudice".
I haven't noticed a decline either, I still find discourse here to be very high quality and civil for the most part. No idea if the mix of posts has changed really.
They shouldn't. CAA controls issuance, but the browser isn't performing issuance.

It's completely allowed (a bit paranoid, but allowed) to set CAA to forbid everybody from issuing except when you are actually getting new certificates.

But now your hypothetical "CAA checking" browser thinks the certificates issued this way aren't valid, because when it visited, hours, weeks or even months later, the CAA record did not allow the certificate it saw.

Your talk of audio reminds me of how the climax of The Last of the Mohicans (1992) is so powerful because of its restrained sound. The silence of Chingachgook's inaudible wail makes me want to weep. The slicing of knives and reports from rifles are second to the score:

That does not follow. "The monopolist can do this efficiently" != "the government can do this efficiently". In particular, the monopolist has given evidence of knowing how to run that operation well. The government has given no such evidence.

I'm not a fan of monopolies, but your position is flawed.
Dumbing down or intentionally making it hard.

Apple is intentionally hostile to sharing files and makes it very hard. Improved slightly in recent IOS versions, but still super hard. You can’t just email yourself mp3s and Play them like normal music on your phone, you have to use a third party app or a PC or something to transfer them to iTunes.

Generally speaking, the cars built for the Indian market are very different than the ones built for the European market. Everything from safety to features to build quality is different.
sure, this wasn't meant as a suggestion to take Vancouver into consideration - it certainly won't win anything on affordability.

It was just meant to offer my perspective and lessons learned around moving from germany to another location. I am sure for other locations there are again other pro's and con's.
It’s much worse for buyers of ICE vehicles today. We are approaching the inflection point of the S curve of EV adoption, I know this is probably an unpopular opinion but I really think in 5-10 years people are going to have a seriously hard time selling a used ICE vehicle as most people will be looking to the future and would prefer an EV. For EVs I expect an “appreciation” curve for the same period of time, as lithium supply takes a long time to scale to meet demand. I drove my 2019 model 3 for 3 years and sold for a profit recently.
I'm not in academia but here's what I don't understand.

Generlaly, my understanding was that important results typically get replicated by other institutions and teams. Not necessarily to prove that initial result but to work out the limits of whatever the conclusion was. Imagine you discovered that ibuprofen could reduce the risk of stroke by 30%, for example. You would have other teams that might start playing with the factors and asking different questions like:

- What if we raise or lower the dosage?

- Waht if we mix that with other medications?

In doing so you'd get further confirmation of the original result.

You'd think there'd be some similar studies done of the original result but that doesn't seem to have been the case or this fraud would've been discovered already.

So for anyone who does know about how this works, why didn't this happen?
Why build just one when for twice the price you could have two?
It’s definitely a problem for engineers too, spurred on by “fake it till you make it”/“all self doubt is just Impostor Syndrome”-ism.
I would think it strengthens the argument for vaccination. Adults and older children are at great risk of serious illness due to lack of childhood immunity.

If none of us had polio vaccines, it would probably behave today much as it did in the mid-20th century USA, with periodic waves of outbreak that would leave dozens or hundreds dead and tens of thousands disabled.
The gasoline will ignite before it is supposed to, forcing the piston back down before it has travelled all the way to the top of it's stroke. The engine will destroy itself. You can hear "knocking" coming from the engine when this is happening. It's worse than it sounds.
Personally, that wasn’t my experience. The coverage didn’t make it seem common to me.
> right now there are lots of Russians who think it's fine to invade, kill and steal, ...

It's not even that the Russians who think this are especially evil people, or irrational people, or people who are unlike us in any fundamental way.

The reason they think this way, and that you do not, is because they believe different myths than you do.

Let's say your worldview is defined by Ivan Ilyin [0]. You don't consider other people or ethics at all. The only thing that matters in the world is God. And God is displeased that the perfect Russia that He created has been spoiled.

The only way to heal the world and make God happy is to restore a certain kind of utopian Russia. That pure and perfect Russia is united in territory and belief, so it can't tolerate any division or fragmentation within itself.

Agents of the devil in the West are deviously dismantling and disintegrating that pure and perfect Russia, piece by piece. Westerners are carving off pieces of territory like Ukraine, and dividing Russian people with seditious Western ideas like democracy and gender fluidity and a free press.

So it's a supernatural struggle between good and evil. An existential battle like that means there's no room for this messy business of parliaments and voting, or compromising with different perspectives.

We need one strong leader, a true and pure leader, to inherit the mantle of past great leaders like Stalin and Peter the Great. He will be God's instrument to make the hard decisions and lead the nation in glorious struggle. This divinely inspired leader will create unity in the world by restoring and reuniting Russia itself.

----

Where do you even begin to have a conversation when you don't share the most basic of beliefs or values? There is no common ground in wanting a safer, fairer, more just world. We have our own foundational myths that we rarely acknowledge or interrogate, and our myths don't intersect with Russia's myths at all.

You can definitely still find dealerships without market adjustments, but you're likely to have to travel inland to do so if you're on a coast.
Fair enough. Then it's really a matter of intended audience. It is a correct technical term for the color-domain educated audience. Could be that I'm one of the few outside that audience, but probably not :).

The wikipedia article does note that pseudo-color is an alternative, and that carries less generally negative connotation.

This is all nitpicking anyway, but thanks for the bit of education!

[added - although now I can pick at the definition of "true color", since it is based on the idea of how a color would appaer to a human viewer. We know pretty well that there's quite a variance of perception of color amongst humans, so there arguably is no "true color". There's just X% of people see this color. :) ]
It's also possible that Alzheimer's is an incredibly challenging disease and the tools we have to deal with it are suboptimal. People have a hard time distinguishing failure from malice, unfortunately. It's understandable to want someone to blame.
As opposed to the unofficial policy of conservatives to cut taxes for the rich and 'pay for it' by putting the nation (and hence, all of us) deeper in debt? Please. If anything the democratic party seems to be more 'fiscally conservative', because at least they're not afraid to raise taxes to pay for their spending.
At least for cars, most people have to finance them so you would assume there is an interest rate where the monthly payments are too high for enough people to bring prices down. A lot of what has gone on the last couple years were extremely low interest rates coupled with the money supply increase. Can probably handle one or the other but not both.
While the shootout scene is indeed great, the 2 scenes in Heat that I consistently find myself rewatching on YouTube are the diner scene with De Niro and Pacino, and the final scene in the fields beyond the runways at LAX. The sound and light from the incoming planes mixed with the score is incredible, and I never tire of it.
Oof. Yea and when i bought mine, the 0% interest indicated that they were trying like mad to get rid of them.
I'm not sure about the definition, I suspect colloquial thought about "upper middle class" differs from being in the 60 to 80 range for household income when the 60 is within 10k of median household income. +~$7.5k to median should yield significant benefits long term, like a couple more easily maxing IRAs every year, but shouldn't be a giant leap in class, especially when distribution of wealth places average household income squarely in middle of the 60 - 80 band.

That said, the example person they used isn't really paying for insane overextension - especially assuming rates are fixed and pre-rate-hike. He's paying because his living margins and costs are more impacted by inflation than his real-estate costs and now the cost of living margin he expected to be relatively stable is going away.
Apparently it's helpful to more than epilepsy, from a study this month: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/diagnosis-diet/20220...

> Symptoms of depression and psychosis improved in all 28 patients who followed the diet for longer than two weeks, with improvements becoming noticeable within three weeks or less. 43% of patients achieved clinical remission, and 64% were discharged from the hospital on less psychiatric medication.

It's amazing that results were seen in just 3 weeks

Be careful with ex-rental cars. These things have been abused to hell and back; think full throttle on a cold engine, the cheapest fuel available and a lot of unavoided potholes. On the other side, you know they have been maintained, but expect a lot more wear. You can buy one, but you should know why they are as cheap as they are.
I really dislike this attitude. I think it's over-hyped in the US media. Yes, there's violence in Mexico. But, as I always say: As long as you're not looking for cocaine or prostitutes, you'll be fine. I've been going to Mexico, including Tijuana, for 30 years, probably between 500 and 1000 times. I've seen crime, but never any sort of narco violence or mass shootings or whatever. My biggest concern in Mexico is getting shaken down by the police, and well, breathing - the air quality is shit as soon as you cross the border.

Not to take you two steps back but copyright doesn’t really apply well to software to begin with. Consider this:

Copyright applies only to creative expressions. Purely functional expressions are not copyrightable.

That means that software is the embodiment of both creative and functional expressions that are commingled. They are so mixed together by the time the buyer gets it, there is no simple way of separating the two. That weakens the strength of copyright over the whole.

It also misleads folks into believing everything about software is protected, even silly things like header files or trivial functions. Because these purely functional expressions are so highly intertwined with the rest, folks just assume they have a legitimate copyright over them! Even judges get this wrong!

So software isn’t inherently copyrightable except for it any creative expressions it contains. What counts as creative expression?

Traditionally, it didn’t take very much creative expression to be copyrightable. A screen design is copyrightable. A color scheme could be copyrightable. Code that saves a file after applying whatever edits the user has made is NOT copyrightable, as it is a purely functional expression.

But what if I came up with a cool/fast way of finding primes and coded it into C. I created it. It is unique in the entire world! It took many hours to come up with. Certainly I should be able to protect my work, right?

No. Mathematical algorithms are not creative expressions but purely functional expressions. It doesn’t matter how long it took to create or how the algorithm was discovered.

But what about the code to implement the expression? The code is the expression of the algorithm. There may be a bit of creativity in the code, but we are back to functional expression as opposed to creative expression. Where’s the line? It’s fuzzy enough considering it in the abstract but impossible to consider given only the executable software itself.

Personally, I think software should have it’s own copyright protections, unique from other written works. What that should look like and how it should work is an open question that should be discussed.

Remember, the purpose of copyright is not to enrich the author. The purpose is to “promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.” If any copyright scheme fails to “promote the progress of science and useful arts”, it is not serving the public as intended.
Yeah, another 4 alpha user, here. There were a few regressions while developing in Alpha, but 4 is shaping up to be really good.

Even if you don’t go for godot as your main engine, the speed with which you can prototype is really nice.
This has been settled for a long time.

The recent interest in changing the definition of recession all of a sudden by the White House and the defenders of the administration in the media is simple: this week, we are going to get the data that demonstrates that, far from having "the strongest" economy in decades, we are in a recession.
> Likewise, we shouldn't shame people for engaging in sex, but instead encourage them to get vaccinated.

If we had enough vaccines, they alone would be a great solution. But we don't, so we need to consider other ways to slow/stop the spread.

> it won't be stopped by telling gay people to stop having sex or shaming them for it.

For a lot of people, sexual orientation has nothing to do with how they view this. Their view would be the same if monkeypox were spreading among all young adults. Projecting anti-gay sentiment onto these people is not productive. It is also not accurate. They simply believe that it's not too much to give up promiscuous sexual behavior for 8 weeks or so. They would ask the same of straight people if it were spreading in that community.
As long as there isn't massive increase in taxation I don't think ICEs will be hard to sell. There is plenty of people who don't want to deal with charging it for example. Or like the long range.
"To control my body" is an absurd political spin on "because they expect me to regret it". Can she imagine that a doctor might actually think "I don't want to perform an irreversible, life-alterring operation on someone who has a good chance of regretting it"?
According to the article, the research in question did not result in any clinical trials.

I have a chicken and egg issue with microbiome stuff. Does your microbiome look different because you are suffering from an issue, or does your microbiome looking different cause the issue.

Kind of like when an auto-immune disorder is causing inflammation. You can treat the inflammation, but you aren't treating the real problem.

Why is it so hard for writers to specify mean average or median average? Why do they never provide distribution information? It would take a negligible amount of effort to list a few percentiles, or even all the deciles to give people the whole picture.
Yes the individual is frail and easily derailed, which is why we have institutions. On whose shoulders the whole process of science rests. So less individual guilt, more answers regarding institutional failures and errors in process design. Obviously, the skinner box built from incentives and punishment, is hacked and useless at best, dangerous at worst.

Yeah. I meant that I don't see the value in keeping those snapshots for years and years. Space is cheap, but for me there was something unhealthy about the practice, which is why I used the word hoarding. Deleting the hoard was actually quite freeing for me, and it was a little surprising that I never actually missed e.g. the hundreds of screenshots of in-progress games I was developing. So I just wanted to share that perspective, not really expecting people to agree (almost didn't post my comment at all.)
Hubble images are also frequently "enhanced".

Not all the wavelengths these telescopes capture can be seen by the human eye so some post processing is necessary for the "publicity shots"

A lot of the real science is not done visually but by analysing the data
