Will there be a security system in place where if userA, userB, userC are always upvoting each others articles that it's most likely a russian troll farm? Or some other logic to determine click fraud?

Edit - read further comments that answers this.. disregard.

For a minute I thought we sent in pics and we would be told the size we'd require. Here's an idea, a dick pic app, you take a pic and the app tells you want one to buy?

This will probably be on the front page of TIL but anyways. "In the days that followed the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S., Wal-Mart detected a significant spike in the number of American flags being sold in its stores across the country. Based on this data, the company quickly bought up the available stock of American flags from every supplier it could reach. The company’s competitors, the other discounters, noticed the spike some days later and attempted to buy more flags. By then, Wal-Mart had effectively cornered the market, and its competitors were unable to restock their shelves."

This was possible by the tightly integrated POS systems and warehouse logistics

You guys ever play TF2 (Team Fortress 2)? There is nothing like having a heavy and a doctor... PTSD is no joke.. (except George Carlin's skit with his play on words on why they keep desensitizing the symptoms by changing the name of it)
