Zimbabwe Court Upholds Results of Presidential Election

The opposition had said the vote was rigged, but the Constitutional Court rejected that argument, clearing the way for Emmerson Mnangagwa to be sworn in soon.

The U.S. should not take Zimbabwe as an exemplar of democracy.

How FireEye Helped Facebook Spot a Disinformation Campaign

The cybersecurity company has shifted its attention to detecting disinformation and uncovering social media campaigns intended to influence politics.

The Facebook business model is deeply faulty.
The business probably should not exist.
Mindless recommendations are the problem.

Hamdi Ulukaya of Chobani Talks Greek Yogurt and the American Dream

A Turkish immigrant of Kurdish descent, Mr. Ulukaya brought Greek yogurt to the mainstream. Along the way, he began hiring refugees, a move that drew threats from fringe websites and far-right commentators.

The GOP would call it socialism.
It is socialism without government.
The pattern has been damned as paternalism.
It is probably communitarian.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communitarianism

The problem is stability and competition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strained_yogurt
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strained_yogurt#Production
"The liquid resulting from straining yogurt is called "acid whey" and is composed of water, yogurt cultures, protein, a slight amount of lactose, and lactic acid. It is costly to dispose of.[40][41][42] Farmers have used the whey to mix with animal feed and fertilizer. Using anaerobic digesters, it can be a source of methane that can be used to produce electricity."
