I always spy on competitors
I visit their websites and see what's going on and to see what prices they charge and I discount my prices to be blow theirs. I sometimes visit their stores and buy a product and see what discounts they give in store.
I know others competitors spy on what I do as I've had complaints from wholesaler that I'm too cheap blah blah. So I made this post on my FB page https://www.facebook.com/aquat...
If you're not paying attention to your competition, then you're not running your business properly.

Re:Non issue. Will be blown up out of proportion.
> You have no idea how much 10 million targeted ad views costs
As a matter of fact, I do. You can too, since FB is quite eager to explain to you how your budget can be leveraged (start here as a newbie: https://www.facebook.com/busin...). Every digital advertiser likes demand. But that's ultimately a digression because you want to bury the foolish point you're trying not to make.
> doesn't it seem like it might be slightly irresponsible to trivialize, at least?
No. Is there some line by which you decide people should be treated as herd animals over individuals capable of making good and bad decisions on their own? Please explain how you would shape society, to correct those sharing views you disagree with. I'm sure that won't sound oppressive at all.

Re:We're not worthy
Security keys can't be duplicated. They're made with military-grade hardware that costs like $5 and resists fault injections and physical assault, so retrieving the key is impossible with current technology.
I recommended the same thing for identity theft (YouTube). That involves legislation allowing regulation which drives the current consumer-grade (i.e. affordable) technology into requirement without requiring an act of Congress every time the current technology becomes obsolete and vulnerable.

Nipple-aversion
Free Speech from the American perspective isn't a universal perspective. It is unique to our circumstance and our history. The EU has Free Speech but the details are a little different and that is fine in principle.
And we tend to be a little bit less nipple-averse than the US.
Our concept of Free Speech vs Censorship doesn't in any way go nut whenever there's a little bit of flesh shown somewhere (*).
Nudity isn't a reason to kick-ban you from European media, because of "Think of the Children" and "OMG! Femal Anatomy ! Run for your lives !".Indeed, based on past history, each side of the Atlantic pond has a slightly different approach on the Free Speech vs Censorship scale.
We can quibble over the details of where the line on free speech should be but you have to address how you plan to control hate groups if you let their rhetoric flow freely.
There are also other very valid trends in Europe that try instead to instil a little bit of critical thinking when exposed to bullshit on internet.
(This specific youtube channel deals more about fakenews and conspiracy theories, but the general approach of teaching critical thinking is also applicable for anything else going on the internet).
So instead of blocking the rhetoric of hate groups, you try tackling the problem from the other side by making the people less receptive to the king of bullshit that goes online.(And by the way the channel names happens to have some unfortunate implication in the US, but in its native France it's just a quote from a known author)

Re:why? why?
Yes. Blockchain is a buzzword and not useful here. What you're looking for is public-key identity (PKI is public-key infrastructure) based on a non-shared-secret challenge-response.
Today, we can implement this simply by using FIDO devices (UAF/U2F), wherein a user walks into a bank, shows their hard ID (driver's license, passport, etc.), and then establishes a trust with a third-party entity (such as a Credit Reporting Agency--TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax). I've described this for credit fraud (YouTube), such that you won't be able to open new credit accounts (car loan, mortgage, car rental, credit card, etc.) without physical possession of a Security Key device (which you bring yourself). The damned things cost $20 and one holds many keys, so can be used to validate to Google, all three CRAs, the State, and whoever else.
You could do the same with driver's IDs, and even embed the device in your driver's ID. When you receive your ID, hold it over an NFC sensor at the desk, press the button, and it creates a new key. This could be a special, one-time implementation where the ID card will only generate a new trust when it's brand-new: if you lose your ID, you get a new one, and have to establish trust with the State to activate its identity feature. For mail-out license replacement, you could go to a bank, police station, or some other authorized establishment, which only leaves the same weakness as today, and only until you establish that trust.
The hard part is establishing identity when you have no identifying papers. How do you prove you're you? Birth certificate is your origin, and we just kind of accept that: if you die as a baby and some no-name takes your papers for his no-name infant, nobody's the wiser. You might create an odd anomaly, unless you dump the baby with the parents of the original and they go along with it.
Everything beyond that is a matter of having a strange adult with a strange claim of being a person.

Re:No mobile != resisting technology
Google does not require SMS for 2-factor authentication. It never has.
1. SMS is one of the choices they give you, but it's not the only one.
2. You can also print a paper with a list of one-time codes.
3. Or you can buy a little piece of hardware on a keychain that will generate a different code every minute.
4. And/or you can install an app on a phone/tablet that will generate that different code every minute (without the need of internet access)
5. The source code for generating that code is even open source, so there is really no reason it can't be ported to most other computing devices out there.
Apparently, Facebook 2-factor authentication works the same way also. So there is really no excuse for having 2-factor authentication turned off on either Facebook or Google.

Some points, some not.
They have a point with tracking non-users with the Facebook API (like buttons, etc.)
But good luck suing them for that. EVERY advertiser does that. Every WEBSITE does that in general, without informing users. (unless the webmaster disabled it purposefully, usually on privacy-orientated sites)As for the other half, not informing users of tracking while on the site: lol.

Facebook free internet is a walled garden
Facebook says it will use its map data to help bring free internet access to un-served communities. BUT the 'Free Basics' internet service only provides restricted access to certain websites!
That prompted "65 advocacy groups from 31 countries [to] release an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg, calling then-Internet.org a 'walled garden' in which the world’s poorest people only have access to a limited set of online services approved by Facebook and local carriers," according to a Mashable report* in 2016.
In a final shot of irony, if you want to read that open letter, it is hosted on none other than Facebook itself**:
https://www.facebook.com/notes...* "Just bringing Facebook's internet to Africa won't be enough" http://mashable.com/2016/11/04...
** Actually, some of the 65 advocacy groups posted their own copy of the letter, and some groups such as Open Media wrote follow-up letters with specific policy recommendations for Facebook to help keep the internet open: https://openmedia.org/sites/de...

Re:What is an average kernel build time?
It's most likely I/O bound too.
C (and far worse, C++) compilation is incredibly I/O bound because of the insanely archaic include system (and preprocessor too) . I'm not even talking out of my ass. It's such a problem that Facebook and (IIRC) Google have both come up with custom solutions to try and reduce compile times because they're so insanely taxing on their day-to-day operations.
Fun side note: Andrei Alexandrescu and Walter Bright (creators behind the D language) were directly involved in helping Facebook improve their compile and linking problem.
https://code.facebook.com/post...
And one of the main advantages for using D is actually compilation times, of which Facebook ported a large project over. In the previous link, they saw total project build times decrease by up to 40%. FORTY PERCENT.
Now I'm not saying "Everyone switch to D." But clearly there are issues in C (and worse C++) that become significant headaches for large codebases.

Re:Facebook gives me the creeps, I don't use it.
AC said: "Bullshit, they have never required a mobile number."
uh... sure you don't want to read the examples going back as far as 2010 and retract that statement?
Facebook has required mobile numbers many times. Not of all users.But facebook has experimented on subsets of it's users without their consent regularly. It's a skeevy, scummy company whose founder has openly mocked people who trusted him.
2014
https://www.theguardian.com/te...Facebook says the huge psychological experiment it secretly conducted on its users should have been âoedone differentlyâ and announced a new set of guidelines for how it will approach future research studies.
In a blogpost on Thursday, Mike Schroepfer, chief technology officer, said the company had been âoeunpreparedâ for the negative reactions it received when it published the results of an experiment in June.
Facebook published the results of a 2012 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Unbeknown to users, Facebook had tampered with the news feeds of nearly 700,000 people, showing them an abnormally low number of either positive or negative posts. The experiment aimed to determine whether the company could alter the emotional state of its users.

" Facebook now requires your mobile phone number
I just went to Agar.io to pass some time and just as I tried to log in via my Facebook account I was told I wasn't allowed to log in until I fixed some things on Facebook. So off I went to Facebook and I'm told they want my mobile phone number in order to continue using my account!!
So I click the question "Why do I need to verify my identity by providing my phone number?" and it says this:
We want to make sure that this is really you and that youâ(TM)re connecting to Facebook with just one account.
To verify your identity, you'll need to log into Facebook and follow the on-site instructions to add your mobile number. Your phone number will be added to your profile, but you can choose who can see it there.
Note: Maintaining more than one account is a violation of the Facebook Terms.

Phone number is needed to provide extra layer of security for your account. Also to ensure Facebook that your account is real, reducing possibility of marked as suspicious. You can always hide the phone number from others via about section.This all, of course optional

Re:Number 7 sounds fishy
That's interesting, I had skimmed right over that. Does seem like one heck of a contrived data point!
Apple: (116k employees) Steve Jobs' biological father was Syrian (adoptive father was American). Wozniak maybe had one grandparent who was Canadian?
Alphabet: (~60k employees?) Larry Page, American. Sergey Brin and his family immigrated from the former USSR.
Amazon: (341k employees! wow) Jeff Bezos's adoptive / step-father is from Cuba (opposite of Jobs!), so I guess this counts?
Facebook: (8k employees) Zuckberg's great-grandparents were from Germany, Austria, and Poland. (cite). Sandberg had ancestors who were Soviet Jews.
Ok, so the lesson I take from this is that people escaping from Communist regimes are very motivated! These four companies account for more than 1/3 of the 1.5 million employees cited in the post.

Re: Simulation
So you're the one that controls the roomba and is responsible
Do not, under any circumstances, let your Roomba run over dog poop. If the unthinkable does happen, and your Roomba runs over dog poop, stop it immediately and do not let it continue the cleaning cycle. Because if that happens, it will spread the dog poop over every conceivable surface within its reach, resulting in a home that closely resembles a Jackson Pollock poop painting.
It will be on your floorboards. It will be on your furniture legs. It will be on your carpets. It will be on your rugs. It will be on your kids' toy boxes. If it's near the floor, it will have poop on it. Those awesome wheels, which have a checkered surface for better traction, left 25-foot poop trails all over the house. Our lovable Roomba, who gets a careful cleaning every night, looked like it had been mudding. Yes, mudding - like what you do with a Jeep on a pipeline road. But in poop..
Then, when your four-year-old gets up at 3am to crawl into your bed, you'll wonder why he smells like dog poop. And you'll walk into the living room. And you'll wonder why the floor feels slightly gritty. And you'll see a brown-encrusted, vaguely Roomba-shaped thing sitting in the middle of the floor with a glowing green light, like everything's okay. Like it's proud of itself. You were still half-asleep until this point, but now you wake up pretty damn quickly..
And then the horror. Oh the horror..

For the sake of any possible Slashdot audience I have to answer the crap you post. It's not like I want to reply to your troll-trash.
Yes, that is a standard problem when you try to fit the data to your perceptions. Try doing it the other way around.
The data exist some others have created been able to compile their numbers from it. It's just that I don't know where-from those numbers are.
If it's from a report it has to be an older report than the 2005 one because the Aftonbladet article about them is from year 2000.
https://www.facebook.com/tino....
Seem like those numbers are from the period 1985-1989, 0.0002% of the Swedes registered for rape, 0.0046% of the people from Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia and 0.004% of those from Iraq.
0.004% make them 20 times more common than the 0.0002% of the Swedes, of course it still mean 99.6% of them hadn't been sentenced for rape-offences and 99.98% of the Swedes haven't either.
Among gang-rapes 1991-1999, 58% of the offenders were Swedish-born and 1/4 was foreigners. I would assume by now the foreigners stand for the majority but since the government doesn't want to process the data and reveal how it is now we don't know. Whatever one could get it for each case from the police I don't know. The political forces in Sweden doesn't want data collected based on ethnicity and once people have gotten a Swedish citizenship maybe they would be counted as Swedes in the statistics regardless of what they actually were/are.
In the case of the troubles with sex-offenders in swimming halls which we've had recently asylum seekers dominate completely.
