Maybe instead of filtering they can label the items that are not real news, or label the real news as news(I am not from US so the use case I am thinking of is fake medical/scientific news so in this domain would be easier to start with)

Lack of any self-awareness can only be attributed to arrogance. This is exactly the type of arrogance that got their candidate defeated and made Trump an underdog.

Fuck you nytimes.
The only problem is: you can't fix stupid. It doesn't really matter. If it's not Facebook, it's Gawker, Buzzfeed or a thousend other clickbait outlets.

If somebody actually believes the pope would endorse an American election candidate there really is nothing you can do.
Is this the new meme now? Things we don't agree with are "more of the same thing that got Trump elected"?

What fake news do is reinoforce what people already believe to be true

Sure. And it also reinforces things people don't yet know (because it's fake) but which fits into one's preexisting worldview. It's a multiplicative factor. An amplification.

The claim by the article is actually very measured -- that fake news is a part of the whole picture. Do you really disagree with that?
Also, you reduce the space that needs converting from {All the cars on Earth} to {All fossil fuel powerplants}. There are ~1 billion cars. I can't find good numbers for coal and gas plants, but it can't be more than a 200k or so.

That's a gigantic improvement in our ability to rapidly reduce CO2 from transportation.
Ask HN: Most votes, most negative comments?
I have strong feeling that there must exist some connection between most upvoted posts and number of negative comments. The more votes you get, the more negative comments appear or in other words most of the comments in such posts are negative. Is this only my feeling?
I don't trust the main stream media at all. As part of my long term research on NLP + text mining, I got in the habit of using English language news article from around the world as a text corpus. As part of this process I noticed the disconnect to US coverage compared to foreign news sources. Realizing that everyone has their own agenda, this experience still makes me sceptical of our news.

That said, I am also very sceptical of what I read on the web. I follow several people's blogs and what they post on social media because over the years what they say usually turns out to be correct.

Ruby 2.3.2 Released
Awesome! And I totally agree about encouraging anyone writing good software, including Ole.

FWIW, keep in mind a few things:

- Note that @CJefferson is afraid to use parallel because Ole made the license restrictions unclear by adding the citation request. Ole is discouraging some applications of his software by being so forceful about his request.

- Ole's citation is not from a scientific or peer-reviewed publication. It simply cannot be used in some contexts. Even the BLAS link above was in a research journal, but Parallel's is not. In many contexts, a citation of Parallel is highly inappropriate.

- The small amount of time it takes to either cite Ole or read and understand this thread is largely irrelevant to the question of whether a citation is either warranted or appropriate or allowed. Understanding the license is a one-time event, and it's very important for the license to be legally clear. Parallel's citation notice is causing confusion. The question is whether Parallel can and should be used without having to worry (forever) about the legal consequences of the contract I've agreed to by using the software.

- This approach isn't scalable. If other GNU tools, or other free software started using the same language as Ole, it would cause widespread problems.
Seems to 502 (?) if one of the boxes is empty.

Nice project though - wish someone would make one for a resume...
> A system like this ... could theoretically work.

Sorry, but no. You know how modern ones skim along terrain? Terrain maps. If you are using terrain maps to navigate, then you don't need GPS - so this system has no hopes of working against low altitude cruise missiles. Also, the cruise missiles would need to be flying lower than the cell towers - which would only be a problem if the directional antenna was sensitive to 180 degrees. Beamforming tech is so common now that it has found its way into wifi routers.
How, I wonder, do you report on a candidate, who we have a recording bragging about sexual assault, and avoid a "hit piece"? To make a derogatory article attacking trump literally all you have to do is quote what he's said on the record; No editorializing necessary.
also https://wdt.io/cron-monitoring.html , I think it's been awhile for awhile.
My favorite plausible one was the one where supposedly back in the 90s Trump said "he'd run as a Repub because they're the most gullible". I found it amusing that Hollywood actors/actresses tweeted it in a non-jokey way.

And yes, it is telling all their examples are about ones which targeted Hillary.

Hillary also was resistant to the $15 minimum wage which would make a _huge_ difference for a lot of folks in the countryside. Hillary of course wanted to treat them like second-class citizens with only a $12 minimum.

Who's going to go read white-papers after that sort of offer?
I find it incredible that even living in the liberal echo chamber I never heard news about this proposal! I am even from Appalachia!

Part of the problem is that those in the media forgot about people who are different from them--- for whom those $30 billion could have meant the difference between permanent regional decline and a new start.
You have to weigh the alternatives. Continuing to use coal for base load is much worse for almost everyone compared to nuclear.

I was under the impression that US does not allow selling of Android phones from most Chinese brands due to the reasons you mentioned, and for those that all allowed, they have strict vetting procedures to prevent phones with such capabilities from reaching the US market?

Otherwise I have to say this is the worst advice for any engineer building a commercial website. Maybe if someone went back in time 10 years, this might look like a solution, but there is a reason all of this is left behind. I've been a web developer for 20 years now and browser development has finally graduated to real software engineering.

The author has a laundry list of grievances based on their own experiences. It's clear that these are merely opinions though, and they can be taken at face value.

"Frameworks and complexity === insanely long cycle times"

This is simply not true and it's purely subjective. Any developer using Continuous Development can roll out changes to production in a matter of hours, if not a few days. Sophisticated apps need to be modular and engineered for a simple workflow, automated testing and a clear separation of concerns. There is no point to setting yourself up for defeat, and if anyone followed this advice, that's exactly what would happen.

There's a clear distinction between the FUD of naysayers compared to people with more sophisticated levels of development experience. I am not sure someone with this mindset could even get past a phone screen. egad.
Nuclear Engineer here. I like to point out a few things that this article kind of gleans over about nuclear energy. In particular it bothers me that the Sierra Club made that Bugs Bunny quip. The fact is, nuclear fuel has ~2 million times more energy in it per mass than fossil fuel, and while splitting atoms intrinsically requires no carbon emissions, combusting fossil fuels do Carbon+Oxygen = CO2 + energy. When your fuel is 2 million times denser, you need 2 million times less mining, less transportation, etc. And if you run your enrichment plants off of nuclear reactors (like France does), then that process is low-carbon too. Nuclear is extremely clean and very low carbon.

Anyway, the nuclear scorecard is:

* Nuclear is currently producing 60% of the USA's carbon-free electricity (the article nailed that one)

* Nuclear worldwide has saved 1.8 million lives net by displacing air pollution

* Nuclear worldwide has prevented the emission of 65 billion tonnes CO2-eq

* If you got all your energy for 80 years from nuclear you'd make 1.3 soda cans of waste

* Advanced nuclear makes additional advances in already-fantastic safety and can improve cost

* Nuclear scales well (demonstrated in France)

* Nuclear is great for regions that get winter storms, lots of darkness, hurricanes, hail, very little wind, etc. while wind and solar are good in places that do not have those. Also recall that wind and solar are collecting a very non-dense (but free) energy so they need lots of material and land footprint.
Would you characterize the disconnect you found a bit more?
TLDR: No, it is not.

Once again Betteridge's law of headlines holds.

http://saasful.com

Successful. That's what I want for my SaaS developers. Whatever your core product is, it's always going to need

- billing integration with Stripe

- user authentication (for your customers)

- access control (so you can drop in support)

You can pull this off (of course!) but do you really want to deal with this portion at all? Wouldn't you rather focus on driving traffic, writing blogs, adding new features to your core product with the time that you would spend on maintaining the non-product portions?

Here's how we are doing it:

- We would be your go-to resource for all of your SaaS website issues, fixes, CSS changes, anything related!

- SaaS website never enters your cognitive load, we are keeping it up!

- Send us an email at hi@saasful.com and we'll work on any request you send us in 48 hours. This is nice because months down the road you want to quickly change CSS

- Never deal with hiring from freelancer.com!

This is the tool that my devs and I have been working on this quarter. Would love some feedbacks.

edit: Care to explain the drive by downvotes? The thread is about sharing what tools we are working on right? Or did I not do it properly? Please let me know!

Panasonic just makes the cells, Tesla makes the batteries. Soon Panasonic will be making all the cells under Tesla's roof.

Tesla has hired Li-Ion specialist Jeff Dahn, so at a minimum Tesla is involved is prescribing the additives to their cells to give them the unique properties that Tesla wants.

Tesla has also dictated that the cells have a unique form factor, "2170" instead of the 18650 standard, and most automotive OEM's used prismatic cells instead of round anyway.
Any VR sales are good for all of VR. We are still solving problems with making VR comfortable for people and locomotion etc. What encourages me about it, is some of best and brightest are working on the problems. Sure we have a lot of Demos right now and no killer app that will make it take off, but all it takes is something like Valve releasing an updated Vive bundled with Half-Life 3, and the PC market will catch up in a hurry.

They are still perfectly safe to eat. There isn't even an effect to downplay.
My point is that there aren't right facts on both sides of many of the arguments we currently fight.
I think there are fake stories that reinforce your current predisposition and then there are fake stories that a vulnerable human being reads and it takes their beliefs to the fringe.

Also, I have a hard time believing that seeing one or two stray bogus stories is the same as seeing bogus stories everywhere you care to look.

In one case a vulnerable human being might have enough reason to doubt what they're reading, and in the other case they suddenly feel like the world is caving in on them.

https://shellshare.net

I have migrated my wife's (then girlfriend) computer to Linux and sometimes I had to configure something on her computer (e.g. a printer). This ended up generating lots of back and forth on the phone with me telling her commands to write in the terminal, and she reading the output out loud. I wanted an easy way to see her terminal. So shellshare was born.

Shellshare allows you to run a single command line and share your terminal online (read-only)

wget -qO shellshare http://get.shellshare.net && python shellshare

That'll give you an URL others can join and watch your terminal live. No sessions, no recordings, and the data is deleted every day.

There aren't many users, but I use it almost every week.
It was a bad accident and I was worried about it to. But in retrospect, zero people died from Fukushima and the surrounding land is mostly at dose rates well below some area's natural background already. Compared to the alternatives that are killing people as we speak it doesn't seem that bad.
The SSH that comes with git for windows, as well as the bash install are really nice... I haven't come across too many differences that would hinder me... I mean, when I've had to use a proxy for SSH tunneling, that was a real pain, but other than that, I haven't found it to be any more difficult in Windows than in Linux or OSX. I use all three just about daily.

As to Windows performance, I don't find that to be the case for the most part either... If you have at least 8gb of ram and are operating from an SSD, odds are you won't notice a difference.

I prefer the windows UI, but likewise prefer bash and unixy tooling for software dev. In windows, I have a Linux VM that autostarts, and has samba setup, with a share that mounts in windows... this lets me navigate/edit with windows's UI while having a few ssh terminals to the VM open. It works well.

On OSX about everything I want to do runs there fine... though CI/CD will run targeting Linux either way.

I have to do Windows work now and then, so keep the latest VS installed, just in case. For the most part, I'm pretty agnostic in terms of what OS I use, I can be productive in any of them.

There is no such case to be made. If viral fake news influence even some tiny percentage, there is already responsibility on social media for how this elections turned out.

If we accept the notion that Twitter resembles a public bulletin board, then unpleasant (and potentially, hate) speech can and will come at anyone, and just like in real life, often the recipient has no methods of recourse other than trying to disregard it -- not making a value judgment whether this is fair, but this is how it actually happens. Blatant threats to life and property can be reported to the authorities, but most real-life verbal harassment cannot be pre-emptively filtered.

On the other hand, if we respect that each user's timeline, notification space, and knowledge graph is controlled by the user, unsolicited, unapproved @mentions are disruptive by nature. But there doesn't seem to be a way in Twitter right now to disable unsolicited @mentions or make them require the mentionee's approval.

So Twitter, by its behavior, seems to take the first stance. Why, then, does any Twitter user have an expectation that abuse targeting them can be limited by the company?
The far-right wing of the media just took over the executive branch of our government. We are all in denial.
My first thought, on finding no cause of death listed, was how the cause of death is typically omitted when people commit suicide.

Seven Months of (Working At) Squarespace
https://puphpet.com

I started working with VMs several years ago, manually setting up a Virtualbox image. It would take around 30 minutes, and whenever I'd screw something up I'd have to delete it and redo the whole thing. Sometimes I'd fat-finger a command and have to start the process all over again.

Once I got tired of that I started to look into Vagrant, which recommended using a tool like Puppet or Chef. That led me down the rabbit hole of learning Puppet, which made me want to have a GUI to be able to easily change some choices around without having to mess with the code itself.

So I created a simple HTML form with drop downs and buttons and released it thinking that maybe 10 people or so would find it useful.

Almost 4,000,000 servers created later, and I'm quite happy with how it's been received!

I think the gap between 1) and 2) for adults is gigantic, because of the issues I mentioned. I don't think you've really addressed the complexity of all the stuff surrounding programming.

I don't doubt there are long lists of links to starting programming, as there are for every conceivable subject (also "go to school" doesn't work for the disadvantaged/developing countries).

The point is keeping someone's enthusiasm alive and making good use of their time. In the "golden age" you would see, say, Space Invaders, and it would be within your ability (even as a teenager) to reproduce it, starting from the BASIC prompt and short manual that came with your computer. If you want someone to work efficiently now, on the things they want to work on (fun/visual/relevant to their life), they need to learn a lot more to get started. That's an improvement over the past in many ways, because it was simply not possible to work as efficiently then (e.g. no high-quality libraries, only basic line editing). In a way, people want more and can do more. But planning how to get there is harder.
This isn't an apology. At best it's a promise to do better in the future.

I'm not looking for insane privacy, just some reassurance that the engineers are at considering privacy.
Journalism is not mindless parroting of online sources. Sometimes you may have to actually ask a living person a question on behalf of your audience, or do records requests. In this case, as a non-journalist, my first vector of attack would be to get the official death record from the county where DCH died.

Seems like an obvious thing to do whenever writing a "notable person X has died" article.

The obituary, for instance, says he died on the 27th. The Macomb County records office [0] says he died on 26 September 2016.
