Author here. Curious how many on HN knew anything about the various hacks Cubans use to get online: the 'paquete' (a giant sneakernet), or SNET (a respectably large adhoc mesh network covering a good chunk of the island).

This might be the first time anyone has accused me of modesty.

It might also be awkward to ban the author of the op-ed we're all discussing. Assuming you want an author to respond to comments, that is.

I'm the author of the op-ed we're all discussing. :)

Did you even read what I said? You're literally repeating it. Funny, and you're citing Custom Audiences, for which I was the first PM, as some sort of counter-example. LOL.

It's not a title, it's a headline, and it's written by the editors. This is how newspapers work. Media title inflation is standard. Every 'senior' this and that you've ever read about is also bullshit, in case you hadn't noticed.

Skim? You should read it.

Indeed. Zuck was forced to backtrack his denials following the election, and is now committed to tackling fake news. They sing a very different tune now.

There have been dozens of page recommender units, which have come and gone.

The Jay-z example was real and the tool was shot down by policy. Some targeting is really prohibited thanks to policy.

Dumb reader is dumb. It's an op-ed not an article. For the details, perhaps open FB's ad creation UI. You are indeed correct you don't target ads like you enter a search query.
