I'm not discounting that this was an annoying ordeal for this channel to go through, but if this is so easy, why don't professional criminals go after huge channels and take them down as easily?

There might be some subscriber count threshold or partner status that, once crossed, flags extra steps that mean a new violation is escalated for a closer look first?

Yup. Looks like the system is working pretty well. Plus I'm pretty happy that I've got an explanation for the email I got!

Sinkholed 7 years ago

Interesting. I noticed that the blog post mentions the Nymaim malware family. I read about Susam's case when it hit Twitter the other day and might have even followed a link to his URL. Then a few days later got an email from my ISP Virgin Media claiming they'd detected Nymain on my home network.

I run macOS only and as far as I can tell Nymaim is Windows only. Still, I ran an malware scan on my Macbooks and nothing popped up, so I'm pretty sure nothing infected my devices.

Still, I wonder if I ended up hitting the sinkhole, Virgin was somehow notified and this triggered their email? Or maybe it's just a complete coincidence.

Edit: Sure looks like Virgin works with Shadowserver: https://www.ukfast.co.uk/it-security-news/virgin-media-to-in...

You can exit a code block by hitting Command Option Shift C. I found this out by hovering over the code block icon in the bar below the editor box.

The trick seems to be to add a blank final line, otherwise, it will not include the last line you typed in a code block.

If I read the article correctly, this wasn't about building a new 'Google campus' (i.e. a huge building to house a large number of Google employees as their main regional HQ). This was about building Campus Berlin, an incubator for startups like they pioneered first in London and then brought to other cities.

See https://www.campus.co/berlin/de and https://www.campus.co/london/en.

It's easy to misunderstand this because of what the term 'campus' is typically associated with. I live in London, and when I say 'I'm going to Google's Campus', I often need to qualify that I'm not going to their main office complex at King's Cross.

There may still be very valid reasons to protest Google in Berlin, but I wonder if the people objecting understood the distinction: that this wasn't a hub for all of Google's employees, but rather a place that would help diversify the tech ecosystem in Berlin and give them access to facilities and other resources.

The kind of smaller startups that would be home at a Campus style incubator would not be fueling high paid Google salaries and would be a lot less likely to drive up rents e.g..

There are Twitter accounts (I'm looking at your Politico) that constantly repost their stories. I swear they're actually automating deleting their tweets and simply tweeting them every hour (disclaimer: I haven't validated this hypothesis). I don't even follow political Twitter accounts anymore, over tactics like this. I keep them all in a (private) list and browser the list when I want to see what's going on in US politics.

True, perhaps what's happening here is that Facebook made a change that genuinely made the experience better for people in terms of relevant content that they see, and page owners are now unhappy how this impacted their stats.

I'm also curious if the end of the elections had an impact on newspaper story interactions? Sure, there's no end to stories after Trump was elected and sworn in, but maybe people are just tired of wall to wall politics coverage?

People simply like too many pages that produce too much content. There has to be prioritization and people have a natural limit to how much time and attention they have to scroll down all the way.

So this is a fundamentally hard problem to solve. You can already prioritize posts from a page to appear at the top of your feed if you really don't want to miss posts.

The real issue is that people underestimate the amount of content they're going to get with a like.

Are you sure? I just set up a few IFTTT triggers and actions based on YouTube videos with a certain keywords from a couple of channels last week, and those channe specific RSS feeds worked just fine.

Edit: OK, I see what you mean. Unified feed across ALL channels you're subscribed to. That's not what I'm using.

Did you experiment with any other ways to get company descriptions than FullContact? Their bio data from 'social profiles' seems a bit hit and miss or sparse for the companies I tried it out on.
