reddit.com/r/esist/comments/1qqqe05/get_in_were_messing_up_melanias_amazon_searchGet in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results
This weekend, Amazon is premiering its $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop.
But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller novel Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie. {MORE}The book is perfect: It's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money.
redditors have already pushed the book high: It's currently the 15th result when you search "Melania Trump." That's crazy. 2 days ago it wasn't even on the first page. With a little more push, we can keep this moving up the charts. We just need people to:
"Buy" the book (it's free)
Share this post and get other people to buy the book. {MORE} -

UPDATE:
IT'S WORKING. This book is now the EIGHTH result on Amazon when you search for Melania Trump. We are going UP!!! KEEP SHARING! -
@JdeBP @cstross @GetCarter making someone watch that for their job should be an OSHA violation.
I too was concerned for their wellbeing afterwards.
And they don't have the option of doing what that lady who left after 20 minutes did.

The Daily Record reported a total of 16 tickets sold in Edinburgh and Glasgow as of this morning. ABC reported 50 pre-booked tickets across the whole of Australia for opening day.

@arrrg @JdeBP @GetCarter There is no OSHA in the UK. (Different laws, different enforcement regime.)

They're not far off, either.
I just turned up this. Apparently, 4 people joined The Metro's reviewer on opening night, plus an additional 1 who was apparently another movie reviewer.
So a third of the audience was people who were being paid to watch the movie. (-:

Amusing coincidence: Kimberley Bond also writes features for Cosmo.
@GetCarter
#Melania #MelaniaTrump #USMovies #Amazon #TheMetroJust checked the local Vue bookings.

@UweHalfHand @503bartley @cstross For me too. #2 for both "Melania" and "Melania Trump".
It's rising on Amazon Germany too. #3 for "Melania" and #4 for "Melania Trump".

Also, is it just "free as in beer" or also free from digital restriction management?

The review attributed to Variety seemed helpful:
If it was shown on an aircraft people would still walk out. -

However, if we assume the purpose was to give Ms Trump $30M (a contribution to her Running Away Fund?) then it presumably counts as a success.There is a school of thought on that, made into another movie documentary by Mel Brooks before I was even born. (-:

This guy is delusional. This was a bribe to curry favour.
"Documentary filmmaker Stefano Da Frè, who was not involved in the project told CNN that Amazon would have done their homework before making that kind of outlay, explaining that Amazon “is a data-driven company.
“With all their tools, all their AI, Amazon Web Services — they didn’t just come up with that number randomly,” he said. “They believe, through their metrics, that it’s worth that amount.”

OUCH! "It’s one of those rare, unicorn films that doesn’t have a single redeeming quality. I’m not even sure it qualifies as a documentary, exactly, so much as an elaborate piece of designer taxidermy, horribly overpriced and ice-cold to the touch"

Real Robot Makes Debut in Programming Game
Sometimes the right tool for the right job appears almost out of nowhere. That was certainly the case for [Jonathan] who came across an unusual but well-designed robot at a secondhand shop. The robot needed a bit of work to get back into a usable condition, but after that it was ready for use. For such a unique machine, it needed a unique place to work as well, so in this build [Jonathan] uses it as a real robot to recreate a popular board game meant to teach programming to children.
In the original board game, called Robot Turtles, there are no actual robots. Instead, players use cards to control turtles to reach objectives in much the same way that a programmer would solve a similar problem with a computer. A board game with such a name almost demands a robot, so [Jonathan] found a larger playing surface in the form of soft matting blocks, each with a number or letter, that can be assembled into a grid. To make the game, he built a Python application on top of the interface he reverse-engineered in a previous build. It handles the robot interface, control, input, and a PyGame GUI. The game can either be played in real-time, or the robot’s moves can be queued.
In addition to keyboard input, the bot can also be controlled by putting cards from the actual board game itself on an NFC reader he made. [Jonathan] has a four-year-old at home, so he hopes that all of these projects will have an impression and encourage experimentation and discovery of computers and programming.
