Well timed by FB PR to release on the eve of one of the biggest news days of the past 2 years.

> In response to a question about the timing of the release of the report, Facebook said it had previously committed to publishing the report at this time.

What a great excuse!

Call if what you will. If Congress is serving corporations rather than the people that could lead to trouble.

Seems right out of Foundations of Geopolitics [1].

> Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics."

Jason Davies' also did this with many more projections than mercator. Fun to browse https://www.jasondavies.com/maps/transition/

That's not the AWS status page. This is http://status.aws.amazon.com/

The internet has ruined April Fools day.

fwiw http://ninjavideo.net/ & http://rockdizfile.com/ are examples of previous ICE takedowns

Looking at the page source code you see a google analytics tracker of `UA-3066672-1`. Quick google search shows that that ID has been associated with Kodi for some time. Probably unlikely that ICE would retain the original analytics code.

~No video has been released to the public.~

edit: Apologies, I was incorrect.

Reminder: TechSolidarity, a very similar initiative is open to everyone and is meeting next Wednesday in SF https://techsolidarity.org/events/sf_april_5.html

FWIW FB Live wasn't a released product in Feb 2016.

Wonder why they went with streaming on YT instead of FB Live...

More over I can always expect "Yev from Backblaze here". Hey Yev, miss you from the mashupfm days!

The only people the ban will affect will be Muslim people though.

Fun but kind of odd.. I can't really imagine these games converting people to subscribing to Netflix or suddenly becoming interested in these shows.

The latest (unreleased) game from Jersey Jack called Dialed In has a feature that sort of discourages this. "Bullets" are fired at your flippers and if they reach the flipper it's temporarily disabled. You can see it in the following YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urivsfl9GVM sorry I don't have a direct time code.

There is also a fun selfie league in Oakland you can play in if you are in the area. http://oaklandpinballwarriors.com/ All the players are super friendly and encouraging to newbies. I've recently gotten into it and while I'm not very good, pinball does something for me that I don't find in video games anymore. Looks like the Eric mentioned in the article was the winner of last months tournament :)

A French site has reported that their servers on OVH were raided. RIP What :(

Thanks for the heads up. Our deploy process was stripping out all the attributions :(. This has been fixed and they are back in now. Regrettably the project's source is not currently available.

React + d3 + Canvas + More. Disclaimer: I helped build it.

Interesting! Why not Dropbox? How might this impact Google Drive?

Matt Cutts, who was/is a semipublic Google employee wrote on Quora today about his work at USDS.

Discounts = Theft. Way to give back to the community.

d3.transition works on element attributes not just CSS. Wish React had something like that!

Will the codes.json [1] never reorder indicies? Looking at the gulpfile it seems they could as React changes? So maybe need a version system for codes.json.. Not sure; seems handy anyway.

More comments here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11994410 including from @mbostock. Not sure why it didn't stay on FP.

Nice! I was considering using the tool you built [0] to do similar analysis of the posts from the leading presidential candidates FB pages.

Original article here https://www.toptal.com/javascript/write-code-to-rewrite-your... (linked at the bottom) has proper code snippets, but a super annoying fullpage interstitial.

People probably said the same about Google. And while Allo doesn't do E2E by default, it does include it as an option.
