Every time Facebook has stepped in to "fix" something they have been criticized by one side or another. They have learned that it's safer for them to do nothing and then blame the algorithm when enough people complain. No one gets fired when the algorithm does something wrong.
That BBC quote is a bit misleading. The photo on the left is what the painting looked like before restoration, not what it looked like when it was originally painted. Parts of it had been damaged and repainted over multiple times in the past which is why the restored version looks so different.
Towelliee (Garcia) has been streaming on Twitch since the start. He's not the most popular streamer by far but is one of the few still streaming from back then. It will be interesting to see if newer more popular streamers like Dr. Disrespect can maintain their viewership.
> As part of his plea, Bridges agreed to turn over the stolen bitcoin to U.S. agents.
He likely got less time for agreeing to turn over his private key. That might have been a bad decision depending on how many years he would have gotten otherwise. Those 1,600 bitcoin are worth over $10 million at the moment.
The fact that Uber hasn't suffered any noticeable loss of business suggests that this is false. Or at least that it doesn't matter if people love you or not.
Because there is no licensing issue because this project hasn't been released. This blog post is a preannouncement. When it's released and its known what license it uses then it will become a pertinent discussion.
Just in the past three months bitcoin has gone from $1500 to $3000 to $2500 to $1800 to $2900 to $2500 to $3400. You'd make more with a lot less risk just waiting for a dip and buying.
>Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg committed to turning on Safety Check in more human disasters going forward, responding to criticism that the company turned on its safety feature for Paris but not for Beirut and other bombings.
But it's not a perfectly regular piece of news. It's a rumor. Hacker News isn't a gossip site. If/when Sam announces he's running the announcement will not get flagged.
I didn't flag this, but there is an argument for doing so: People commit suicide everyday. Many because of job stress. That this person worked at Uber doesn't make it newsworthy.
> Also look at how Zuck bought Oculus and turned it from VR fan favorite to this horrible Facebook division that inches away from PC VR everyday and into social and mobile spaces.
Because that's where the users are. PC VR is going to be a very small niche in the larger AR/VR space.
Facebook shows you stuff that you have shown interest in or has been shared by your friends. If you want to expand the range of opinions you see in your feed follow some less liberal people.
That it's such an elementary claim is the reason for the pushback. What's the point in saying something obvious?
