- ilrwbwrkhv 8y agowhy do we still use facebook stuff if they steal our data?
- YetAnotherNick 8y agoIf at all, shouldn't we steal their open source effort if the steal our data?
- dang 8y agoPlease stop posting unsubstantive comments here. Also, please don't take HN threads on generic tangents (especially ragey ones).
- ilrwbwrkhv 8y agoFirst I think you mean insubstantial and second Facebook has a clear history of data misuse don't they? Just a day or two after this comment the article about their seizing MP files was out. Would you still call this insubstantial? And I am not raging, merely curious.
- Bucephalus355 8y agoNow if only Facebook could apply a Content-Security-Policy to their HTTP Headers. How in the world do they not have this? They could at least apply the default one. I don’t feel like they care about security. For reference, Twitter has one.
- bpicolo 8y agoJust loaded up Facebook - they do have a content-security-policy header.
- mendeza 8y agoWhy is Facebook getting into reinforcement learning? Are there applications of RL to improving social connections or extracting more data to sell to advertisers?
- civicsquid 8y agoIf you take a look at the announcement post for the framework, you can see some discussion about that: https://code.fb.com/ml-applications/horizon/ https://code.fb.com/ml-applications/horizon/ One application that they mention related (at least loosely) to social connections is deciding whether or not to deliver a notification to a user.
- taneq 8y agoI'd imagine that a company which exists entirely to collect huge amounts of data might have some interest in useful ways to automatically process that data.
- bobbygoodlatte 8y agoMost likely to make the News Feed more engaging
- saagarjha 8y agoAlso unrelated, but hopefully not flamebait: the code blocks run off my screen on an iPad because they’re too long. Having just fixed this issue on my own website yesterday, a bit of unsolicited advice: add “overflow: auto” to them and constrain them to the standard margins for your article.
