How do you propose we do that? I am legitimately asking.

Right now NK has nuclear weapons with warheads capable of reaching at least Japan and a Chinese ally which is meant to come to NK's aid if they get attacked.

It could literally start world war 3 if we just attacked NK tomorrow without getting the Chinese and Russians aboard.

I think a lot of Western countries would love to liberate NK, oil or not. But the politics of the situation make that tricky to say the least.

I don't know why are you asking me?

The URL shows https://www.facebook.com, and a green shield indicating a secure connection. What is displayed is not from facebook. Maybe you're missing it? Ad or social blocker installed?:

Hopefully this will be enough motive for rest of the world to stop a real modern day holocaust. There's no oil in North Korea but how's about lifting 30 million people out of hell?

I was there on the UO team. Fun fact: this server closet also gained an optical scanner as its security system, due I think to the generosity/love-for-toys of Richard Garriott. The optical scanner didn't work very well, and was way overkill, but it was super neat. We all felt like spies. Despite actually being geeks.

We had a small office or closet we converted to a server room with a fan in it. We used to hover a beachball over the exhaust.

that's so awesome. I love little stories like this from early pioneers.

That's precisely the point. It seems to have tricked even you.

It seems like day by day the stories being posted on HN more and more resembles something like reddit, and by that I mean stories like this are just so minimal in value and more geared towards self promotion

This is really interesting for a few reasons. They are copying the same revenue split as YouTube. At the same time they have historically had a very different definitions of what constitutes a "view" and this is going to lead to some interesting arguments about ad pricing.

I am really curious to see what Facebook has that duplicates YouTube's very resource intensive ContentID platform for claiming copyrighted material and redirecting ad revenue to the claim owner. I also wonder how Google is going to handle the uploading of YouTube content onto Facebook now that there will be serious money involved. Relevant story about the phenomenon (I work for Fullscreen so this is my CEO talking): http://variety.com/2015/digital/news/facebook-video-piracy-f...

On a personal note I find Facebook's video API to be better (docs, reliability) than YouTube's.

Almost all popular videos on YouTube are just uploaded in lower quality on Facebook, and friends posting themselves in videos really have a limited audience and tolerance for ads.

Given Facebook's shady history of fake likes and other metrics fudging, it'd be a hard sale.

Who goes to facebook to watch funny or die? Anyone with even the minimal sense of humor and self respect won't waste time watching that lame show. Youtube might just be okay with l getting them go, because at the end of the day people go to youtube to watch videos, not facebook, unless you enjoy watching idiot of a friend's embarrassing moments drunk,
