This smacks of link bait & bandwagoning. The author's experience with Twitter is contorted to support a statement about Facebook. The FUD among the mainstream press is getting a little tiresome and distracts from the real privacy issue

This meeting isn't an all hands, it's an employee-driven open forum. It was schduled because there has been interest around the public's recent reaction to facebook's privacy decisions. I don't expect any announcemets to be made, just a d

Concentrate might be close to what you're looking for: http://getconcentrating.com My guess is that you could couple that with AppleScript and an iCal alarm to start Concentrate every morning.

Also, the reason some advertisers don't have success on the network is because they're not using Facebook ads correctly. This is really an education problem on our part. Facebook excels at "brand advertising" while Google excels at conver

Thanks Oo Nwoye for bringing this to our attention. I've created an internal bug ticket. A Facebook ads engineer should be investigating this within the next few days. Facebook takes extreme care to make sure advertisers are only paying

> Again, Microsoft is the biggest company implicated here, with some of its components being constructed in said factories. Other companies include HP, Samsung, Acer, Logitech, and Foxconn. Interesting how MSFT gets the bad press, yet

This kind of fear mongering sucks. Technology isn't the problem here. The subtext of that message is that specific groups (homosexuals, girls, etc) shouldn't have the freedom to use the latest technology to communicate in the way others do

I think we're getting too bogged down in the details here. If a facebook hiring manager has a problem they can email me and I'll fix it.

by Sam_Odio 16y ago
No offense but I'll let the hiring manager at facebook (not some guy on the 'net) decide whether I should get a referral bonus. All I'm saying here is that anything I get will go back to the team/applicant. I'm not sure how that's shady. I'

I understard that it's unusual for a large corp to make a personal appeal on hn. However fb is more like a startup than a big corp. It's pretty standard practice for fb employees to give part of their referral bonuses back to their friends

I just had a realization. Apple's actually becoming the next Microsoft. And they're beginning to act the part.

by Sam_Odio 16y ago
No comment on this idea, but I'd love to see more of this (vs Ask HN or Tell HN about my startup). If you're not going to implement something tell the community. Let us vote it up if we think it's good.

Congrats on the short handle and the creative idea. Some suggestions: 1) @wtf t=24hrs; Allow me to adjust the frequency. 2) @wtf -mashable; Allow me to add/remove sources. 3) @wtf "(facebook|twitter) down"; Allow for more advanced searches

That sounds plausible but it still sucks. Affected developers should email me with details: so@facebook.tld. I can't promise that I'll be able to do anything but I'll try to be your advocate within the company.

I bought an iPad about a week ago. It's lightly used (some scuff marks on the back). I'm willing to part with it and wait for the 3G model instead. Email me if you're interested. I paid $550 (incl. sales tax). first_name@last_name.com

I rarely watch 30 minute videos all the way through. This one is worth it (if you're interested in the topic).

The Divvyshot team has talked about this and it's definitely something that we want to do. Ultimately it depends on Facebook's legal department.

Hi everyone, Thank you for all the congratulations. We're thrilled to be joining the Facebook team. Frankly it's still taking time for everything to sit in. I'll admit that it's bittersweet. When you spend 18 months obsessing over your c

I'm very interested in your experience moving to an RV (and what life has been like since the move). Do you have any links to articles you've written about it?

Why? I don't mean to be snarky. I don't actually understand why this is a "mind blowing" release (other than the fact that it was released by Apple).

No. The fact that the Moon is in orbit around the Earth means that the pen is in perpetual free-fall. As long as the Moon is in a stable orbit, the distance to the Earth doesn't matter. Even if, at 200,000 miles, the Earth's gravity was

It's interesting that many of the respondents were so concerned about the Earth's gravity. It's inconsequential given that the moon is in orbit around the Earth (and therefore so is the pen).
