Our little league would make a few hundred bucks a year off of it. About half was board members buying stuff for the league. You really had to push it to make anything - the most successful example I found was a league that used the same logo as a college sports team across the country. They made a “store” for parent gear that just went to Amazon Smile links.

Amazon was super easy to setup, but there are many companies with better programs in the space.
> SOX is, IMHO, one of the most reasonable regulations people came up with in the last decades.

SOX is a reasonable regulation, but there should have been a useful lower limit below which it doesn't apply.

When I was treasurer of a non-profit, I made us carry SOX insurance (along with some other insurances which were by far our biggest annual expenditures). All this was silly given that we had about $2K of dues every year and less than $10K in savings. Consequently, we couldn't possibly have paid for the legal fees required if we got called on SOX compliance.

A limit somewhere around $1M in revenue/assets would probably be useful for SOX compliance dropout.
Ballistics evidence and likely residue on the hands of the deceased will almost surely support the thesis that he shot at the cops. If you point a gun at a cop, it’s not surprising that you get shot by them. (There’s no legal obligation for the police to shoot second.)

> I'm not sure how the title got past the editors, considering how misleading it is.

The editors of The Guardian want their readers misled. This is very deliberate. Everything the article says will be true if taken literally, except the quotes of interviewed people, which will often be lies. The crucial facts to understanding what happened will be either completely omitted (omission of facts is not a falsehood), or delegated to second half of of the article, and even then, it will typically be in vague, unclear terms. This is how media operates today, and it shouldn’t be surprising that the trust in media is collapsing across the board.

this is just more rationalizing. to justify doxxing, which is itself essentially stalking (or worse) should be a quite high bar, which hasn't been crossed, even in this situation.

If the troll was threatening life or some other crime, then fine do what you need to do. but the person is just essentially being annoying, that is not grounds to doxx someone. if they do not have the skills to keep out harmful users, thats their own fault, they should implement a captcha or some other tactic.

So are employees of color being fired disproportionately therefore reducing diversity? There is no data in the article to support that. Maybe far more men than women were let go? So diversity is only increasing.

You are listing two business cases for retention: do you think tech companies are not aware of the same data? If there was a strong case for keeping employees of a specific demographic, do you think companies would ignore that and prefer to lose more money?

I have constantly received emails(~monthly) from companies advertising these services to my business. The packages they always advertise are as follows:

2. 20 Google Reviews, 50 – 100 Words, REAL Active Profiles, Local Profiles, Drip Feed Method, 24/7 Ticket Support, for $179.99

I always assumed that if you have bad reviews, the go-to was to either change how you operate, change your business name, or do both.

According to Gershoff (cited elsewhere on this thread as well), in a study of 20,000 kindergarteners, Asian American families are the cohort least likely to employ corporal punishment.

So your argument is that, while individual humans are capable of choosing not to procreate, humanity as a whole is incapable.

Sure, but that doesn’t seem to contradict anything in the original comment you were replying to. Just because every single human doesn’t abide by a code of ethics, it doesn’t mean we should abandon ethics entirely imo.
You have the good fortune of being able to afford lots of expensive hardware. Mandating ECC is basically like mandating seat-belts in all cars: it makes safety cheaper for everyone through the economies of scale.

most societies believe that each individual must contribute to some degree. It's being lost, but for most societies historically the mentally ill were the burden of the immediate family.

Now we see the effects of the mental illness affecting society-at-large, it stands to reason that the entirety of the affected population is now somewhat responsible for making their own lives better by trying to assess and remediate the problems within their society.

There's an enormous and growing market of fake GBPs for the purpose of selling leads called Local SEO Lead Gen. (each entity can bring in thousands of dollars/month.)

The thinking is why go through the headache of dealing with clients who can fire you the day after they begin ranking (Local SEO is heavily "front loaded" work wise), will always try undercutting you on price, etc, when you can CREATE YOUR OWN entity, get that ranked and then SELL the leads to that plumber. You're the one with 100% control and if the plumber isn't happy, there's a dozen others who'll gladly take those leads.

Advanced lead gen owners use software such as MultiLogin along with mobile proxy farms to have hundreds of separate Chrome "entities" saved, all using different proxies, their own cookies, etc. This along with an infinite amount of other tools for call tracking, CTR manipulation, etc.

Mobile proxies have really changed the game, giving these lead gen folks an advantage. Because of the nature of mobile proxies (where multiple people can "share an IP address"), it's more difficult to detect. Since EACH GBP entity can bring in thousands/month, it's miniscule in terms of cost.

Reviews? Laughably easy to purchase and outsource, starting around $5/review. Combine this with fake Dalle images to attach to the review and/or GBP itself, and things can only get worse from here.

Google has actually begun VIDEO verification where you literally have to facetime with a Google employee to verify you own the business you say you own... even this can be gamed since any type of manual verification will be outsourced.

Oh and the real masters of this business model? Well they don't bother SELLING the leads to contractors, they will quite literally start their own company and will hire their own plumbers, electricians, concrete crews, etc to squeeze as much profit as possible.
Some of it will lie within the bounds of individual houses, but, yes, a lot relates to the streets. However, in the UK, aside from smaller infill projects, property developers will construct both the houses and the streets together. The streets will then either remain private roads or be adopted into public ownership by the local authority. So, from the perspective of the property developers these rules address, there is little difference between the two.

Otherwise known as “culture fit”?

I say that sarcastically. Anywhere I see “culture interviews”, “our culture”, or “culture fit” I think it’s one of those bull shit jobs type things, and used as a get out clause in the hr tool box.

For the big companies, culture fit often feels a bit cult like. It’s no longer a job to pay the bills even if you enjoy the work, instead you have to believe the company is changing the world, eat, sleep and live the company values etc etc.

> 2) On the page you linked, several of the reviewers (Thaddues Kelly Parks, Darren Meyer, and Adilson Vierra) gave a standard glowing review but only awarded 3 stars. Also to avoid suspicion? Others gave 4.

The alternative explanation is: they're real people who are terrible with technology and the internet. I've run a site where people could rate their experience with others, and the correlation between stars and text was only so-so. Lots of people considered 1 to be best, even though clicking on 1 showed a text "Terrible" just below it. 3 Stars was actually pretty common for glowing reviews.

Everybody keeps forgetting that lots of people write reviews, especially when you ask them to ("hey, if you liked it here, please recommend us on Google Maps"), and some of those people will be the kind who gets these Amazon questions from other customers and reply "I'm sorry, I don't know how well they fit, I bought these pants for my son but he blew up the chicken coop and hadn't had time to wear the pants yet".

I've seen random businesses listed appearing as a house in neighborhoods around the city before, but I always attributed them to a sole-proprietor type of business where they've listed their home address as their business address. I always thought it an odd decision, but could shrug it off as some people just are not as savvy about the implications of making those kinds of decisions.

But having it be the results of a bot farm makes sense too
I do, as everyone should, filter. I find his writing straightforward, moreso than the twisted language of an average Apple 'event'. Conspiratorial may sound sensational to some, but saying one thing and doing another is apt and proportional for walled garden tech. It's a wide net cast. That's all.
Agreed. Remove all hyperbole and the crime here is... sending too many pull requests? I'm skeptical.
My understanding is that they arrested a whole bunch of other people at the same time, and there was general tumult during the "operation."

But again, that's the less likely scenario. I still think it's more likely the cops shot at him, he shot back, and then they killed him in a second volley. This would be compatible with all public facts about the case.

If you mean from a drawing of lines in the exact same style to the original text prompt, i dont think so. Unless you make some program that can be given the start and endpoint of the drawing, then it could decode the length and angle of all lines from end to start. This would not allow for overlapping lines though, since multiple lines could be overlapping, but maybe that actually doesnt matter. Could be a fun experiment :)

Good comment. I think having strong technical skills is one way to be a CEO (Jenson, Satya, Collison brothers, Drew Houston, Zuch, etc) but my bias is showing and you're absolutely right, those skills are very important, especially if the team is already stacked with amazing technical leadership (Like Ilya Sutskever).

I own a business in Somerset, UK. The site we are on is roughly 40% us and 60% Somerset County Council property. We each have our own UK postcode - normally reserved for around 5-80 properties.

The SCC bit has multiple uses - a transport division (minibuses for schools) and nowadays the vestiges of supported living. Its being wound down and is being sold off.

We moved to Yeovil Five Ways from near Hazlebury Plucknet (yes!) around 10 years ago. Google had no idea what was going on at this site when we moved in and I looked us up. Our bit was formally NHS - a clinic. The first thing I noticed was that their idea of the SCC "Resource Centre" was way off so I submitted a change - went through in seconds. When the eye of Sauron eventually noticed that my business had moved, it screwed up the entrance. I tried to change it. No dice.

I can make a change to a publicly owned property but not my own.

Google's insistence on hiding behind computers ("the Algorithm") needs to be challenged. It is way more important than my silly little snag. Google need to employ more people and not sack them! When an org. becomes the de facto authority on something then obviously they have developed a monopoly. Monopolies need to have responsibilities enforced on them.
I remember this being especially bad for certain niches like locksmiths. In that space, someone would create fake businesses and then take the leads they got via phone, email, websites, etc, and then refer the business to some actual locksmith. With probably heavy mark-up to cover the referral fee.
> When I reviewed the rules, which I tend to take seriously I noticed that it said "We promote neurodiversity" and in the next line it says "don't be an asshole".

There is always a limit to what can or can't be allowed in spite of someone's neurodivergent status. The classic real-world case is Terry Davis, who would go on HN to insult just about everone and rant about the "CIA niggers" or whatnot. Many people were willing to give Terry some leeway, but ... to a limit.

Or to put it in another way: if you – due to your neurodivergent behaviour – are excluding other people from a community then there's clearly a bit of a conflict.

None of this is easy or simple.

I experienced this while trying to get my air conditioner fixed on short notice during a heat wave last year. Got scammed in a minor way. Thanks for posting this. I saw it happening — dozens of clearly fake businesses with tons of 5 star reviews, with calls routed to the same call centers with the same predatory pricing schemes. Wasn’t sure how to report it, but calling it out like this is a good idea.
I mean, my local food co-op has no eggs at all as they say they are having trouble finding ones that meet requirements via their suppliers (where if there is low supply often they don't have the high priority contracts and will lose out to the chains), and Whole Foods has a massive set of shelves where eggs normally go on which there are only a few brands filled in and a sign which says one carton per customer. If the actual supply is somehow only down 10% then the demand has somehow increased so dramatically (similar to when we have had runs on other things) to cause there to be so few eggs left available that a 3x increase in the price doesn't seem strange to me... like if there were a person auctioning off eggs at Whole Foods rather than just selling them at a fixed price it would make sense.
