"I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that yid was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him about it; but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck. So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch."
So, uh, yid has been let go?
This is Zuckerburg's passive-aggressive way of laying off employees.
I like the idea that he implemented this feature today and submitted it to HN himself, just to fire yid.
Sorry yid.
If you get a 0 for your user ID, I have to imagine you are not logged in. I get a JSON object that shows "is_fb_employee" going to a literal false value.
Make sure you're logged into facebook. Signed out users always get a 0.
