> Politifact takes a consensus of people who are experts in the topic, and its answers are subject both to peer review and to corrections from outside sources.

And who decides which experts get to join the consensus, and which outside sources that proffer corrections should be listened to? You're dreaming if you think that a single-point-of-failure institution like this can ever be immune to the equivalent of regulatory capture.

> I'm damned sure that neither facts nor rational arguments are going to win them over, because they have been conned by a pathological liar. And as I pointed out above, he's a liar who has been supported by a lying alt-right media.

Yeah, see, that's the thing. We started at "We need a neutral, unbiased source of fact-checking!" and have reached the conclusion of "Because that'll help stick it to the people I hate!" In which case, one wonders how much "neutral, unbiased" was ever in the cards in the first place.
This is in the the bloat category:

I've tried translating some paragraphs from English to Japanese and back and it now seems intelligible enough to be useful. Previously, it produced complete gibberish.

The mistake you pointed out seems rather odd. Computers are supposed to be good at arithmetic. With my limited knowledge of Chinese (that part is all Kanji) even I would get that right (under 1,030,000JPY). But that's the problem with neural or statistical translation - even with the code available, you can't easily tell why it's happened.

Perhaps it got confused because １３０万円 appears later in that sentence.
The only reason third-party isn't a meaningful vote is because of people who tell themselves that it isn't a meaningful vote.
You could try offering that money to a TA for a limited number of email assists or phone calls. They're usually both pretty strapped for cash and people who enjoy helping.
plus now I can tag brands/models/makeup artists/ etc.

I think snap do not give this option because they want have control about who pays and who get paid using the platform. At least for now.

Maybe their next step will be in this direction, making something similar to youtube. Sharing the revenue of ads with a larger pool of content creators.
I agree, this seemed like a poor choice for demonstrating the improvements in translation. I would personally translated it as "No problem can be solved via the same manner of thinking as caused them".
> Ms. Lim said the software was intended to help the Chinese client identify junk text messages and calls. She did not identify the company that requested it and said she did not know how many phones were affected. She said phone companies, not Adups, were responsible for disclosing privacy policies to users. “Adups was just there to provide functionality that the phone distributor asked for,” she said.

This whole article is a lot less racist if this paragraph is put on top. You know because every app made by some of the 1.3B people must be a government effort to collect intelligence.

The app is bad because it does the function without consent, not because it's made by Chinese.

Actually the English translation seems to produce surprisingly well formed sentences. I'm not a native English speaker, and these kinds of long winded sentences with numbers in them are always confusing, but at least I don't see any _obviously_ malformed phrase.
Trump in the White House: An Interview with Noam Chomsky
Care to cite some instances? I'm not sure why you would need to create propaganda about Trump. The truth is pretty damning already.
It's incredible that we haven't found a way to reproduce the social warmth of a school class. After that period where you're constantly surrounded with a group of 30+ potential friends with a 1-year cycle, everyone goes their way and never socializes that much again. They may build families, assume CEO positions or head for humanitarian causes, I personally flatshared for 14 years after high school, but we tend to surround ourselves with likeminded people (due to the network in which we meet those people) and we barely ever meet the variety and intensity of high school relationships. And society has never built anything similar to high schools for grown-ups.

That said, high school also had its social games. Most people recall having been bullied or excluded at one point or another during scolarity.

And yes, you're an excellent writer ;)

Are you sure that this is the case? There's a lot of misinformation out there about Firefox's extension changes. I don't know about Pentadactyl, but Firefox should continue to support APIs providing equivalent functionality for most plugins. They will have to transition, but they won't be irreparably broken.

What a terrible top comment. Classic middle brow dismissal, no reading the article or responding to any substantive point required.

> The result is that, overall, modern corrections adjust past temperatures downward -- what we'd expect if these biases exist.

Yes, yes, just like "I didn't kill that person" is exactly what we'd expect a murderer to say. Also all the non-murderers, sure, but we're looking for a murderer and here's this person saying just what they'd say!

You've prevented zero evidence. Your argument is entirely postulation. We're in FSM/Russell's teapot territory here; with no evidence your made-up theory is as likely as any other postulate.

Maybe it was twice as cold but researchers have rounded up as the numbers seemed too preposterous! Maybe the numbers went complex in the 1800s but none of our proxies are set up to measure imaginary temperatures!
Isn't this the back story to I am legend?

> For that matter, increases in air temperature in the 20th century by no means constitute definitive evidence of anthropogenic warming, since the planet has been warming for about four centuries.

If by definitive, you mean 100%, then yes, else no. The IPCC distilled the consensus down to about 95% which is quite strong, by all means.
In 1931 Germany's rearmament may have been public knowledge, but it didn't amount to much. Police that could become military reserve? Training pilots? OK, that was breaking the treaty (and TIL that it was going on before 1933), but where were the actual non-reserve divisions? Where were the tanks? The airplanes? The warships? They weren't there. Conscription wasn't reintroduced until 1935.
Well, first there are the adjustments to make the warming trend look bigger.

Second, the theory that the warming trend is due solely or mainly to manmade CO2 emissions has not been proven. The sunspot theory is viable as well. The nice part of this is we're approaching a solar minimum in the next ten years, so if that camp is right, we should be able to measure considerable cooling.

If cooling occurs rather than the predicted warming, will that be enough to satisfy scientists? Or will we face new theories based on manmade climate change that explain it away?
Well that's a cool thing, but no never seen that being used tbh, while it's fast, it also means you need some extra things, which also means planning ;)

The Strangest and Unexplained Earthquake-Effects
If I wrote a long essay, seasoned with the same phrasing, terminology, and reasoning used by credible academics, that proclaimed the spaghetti monster was real, you would be wise to dismiss my argument out-of-hand without personally reading it unless you were persuaded otherwise by someone or something else. Wasting your time on the off-chance that I had something relevant and substantive to offer would be a poor gamble.

Ad hominem is an informal fallacy, not a logical fallacy. A logical fallacy always makes an argument invalid. An informal fallacy makes an argument extremely suspect, but context matters. Unless you can instantly read and criticize all the arguments published everyday, or unless you're immortal and don't care about timely application or responses to arguments, you must structure your approach to acquiring knowledge. Alternatively, you could go through life haphazardly, allowing coincidence or, more often, wealth and social station to dictate the ideas you're exposed to.

Your point would stand if climate skeptics were earnest and constructive participants. But they've shown themselves not to be.

In short, credibility matters. Climate skeptics as a group lack credibility, and climate skeptic arguments as a class lack prima facie credibility. In the context of climate change discourse, pointing out (with citation) that an author is a bone fide climate skeptic (a label and affiliation with substance in our times) is totally legitimate, IMO.

I appreciate that some people with idle time are willing to dive in and provide more substantive criticism. But such earnest people aren't always around, and even reading their analyses takes time. I think it's fair to argue credibility, just like it's fair to argue credibility wrt EmDrive without painstaking analysis of wild quantum mechanical hypotheses.
Science in the age of selfies [pdf]
While we're clarifying nomenclature, I'd like to point out that "primitive" is to be avoided, as it may imply that a trait is simpler, inferior, or less adaptive, perpetuating the "ladder of progress" misconception of evolution.

"Ancestral" is preferred and should always be applied to traits rather than taxa, e.g., "Tongtianlong limosus retained many ancestral characteristics of older dinosaurs"

> You've only had 4 assassinations in the USA. It's easy to name 5 internationally.

The question wasn't about "internationally." It was about the USA. More specifically, it was about people assassinated by the military-industrial complex. You came up with zero examples. We're done here.
Apologies for my brief and unsupported assertion. My take is as follows, surely many people would disagree.

For building a prototype CRM system, a server side CRUD-oriented system is going to be the fastest. You could probably build an impressive prototype in Rails (or similar) pretty quickly.

But as the system starts to scale, you'll end up having to extract performance improvements either by optimizing the "within request" performance (caching, etc.) or by creating a hybrid system that uses some client side code to do lightweight updates to a server-rendered page. This is where complexity creep comes in and where may projects start to die and become unmaintainable.

I think many application building decisions are optimized around the early win of easy crud or easy data grids. Even in an app that is full of these things, it does not always make sense to choose the easiest solution.

Instead, figure out how often data changes. If most data changes rarely, as in a CRM system, data can be relatively lazily cached on the client.

Obviously a lot depends on what CRM app you are building, who is using it, how long you expect them to use it, whether it's going to be used on mobile or slow clients, etc.

If it's setup and working it requires no configuration/debugging. And it sounds like whether it's windows or linux he's going to be responsible for fixing any computer problems so it may as well be on a platform less prone to problems that he can fix better.

Just being on a platform where uses can't get infected with malware from stupid flash game sites cuts out 90% of maintenance.

Find it really interesting that Google Cloud Platform customers get access to this immediately.

I spoke to good amount of people from their team. And they all sounded like bunch of people who are driven either by their inner bias or they just blindly follow their CEO (who I don't think is very capable) rather than going by technical evidence with an exception of one or two obviously. They also have people who moderate reviews and then just hype their product to get the attention so nothing in there is really honest. There are many other open source products that don't do any of this and accept their mistake as it is. In short, I wouldn't trust anything that comes of cockroachDB labs.
In very few things the truth lies somewhere in the "middle". You either have rigorous treatment of evidence combined with methodological design to reduce or eliminate human bias, i.e. sciences, or you have what someone believes based on uncontrolled emotional bias.
Do I need to take you seriously?! You don't have to play a "victim" role here You can just keep scratching someone's back. "Medium sized businesses" don't stop doing their business because of CockroachDB. They were able to do just fine with whatever systems/databases they were using prior to CockroachDB existence.

Except that what Trump originally said was: "She's not getting any crowds so she gets Beyoncé and Jay Z, I like them, I like them and you know that they do, I get bigger crowds then they do. It's true. I get far bigger crowds," referring to a Clinton rally a couple of days earlier headlined by them. It was Politifact that edited out this reference to Clinton's rallies, starting their clip from his speech not just in the middle of a sentence but the middle of a word. They don't give readers an easy way to find the uncut version either - I'd have to find and dig through a video of the entire speech to link it here.

NBC's fact check provides better context despite being far shorter and not citing a single source: http://www.nbcnews.com/card/not-even-close-trump-said-he-dra... The stuff Politifact cited is easy to check even without the citations, but their omissions are much harder to spot.

I was looking at satellite images of the area my FOB was at in Fallujah - no sign of our presence. We had double stacked hesco all over the place, as well as Texas and Jersey barriers on the road.

> Is it easier to take down or move concrete vs Hesco?

Easier to take down hesco (boltcutter and a knife), impossible to move. Concrete is easy to move with common construction equipment, I'm sure the people of Fallujah found a new use for the barriers pretty quickly.

I took the original comment to be asking why bother taking out PD-1 from the T-cells. The answer is that it obviates the need for checkpoint inhibitors, which you would otherwise need to administer together with the CAR T-cells for best efficacy. Maybe they meant something different.

Checkpoint blockade alone is a great development, but having treated patients with these drugs, I can tell you it is far from a cure for 80% of people.
Sorry, I was being less pedantic than I should have been. Thanks for the correction and have an upvote.

They're "incompatible" in the sense that the pinouts differ, but an ECC-capable DDR3 machine can use both ECC and non-ECC memory; however, the pinout incompatibility means that a non-ECC-capable machine cannot use ECC RAM (but then, who would want to spend the extra $$ for ECC RAM when their machine doesn't support it anyway?).

I think until there is satisfactory evidence that Assange is safe and still behind the wikileaks web, social media properties, etc. we should assume that they have been co-opted.

Publishing the hashes is meant to serve as a canary for this exact class of concern.

Furthermore we have not seen any public appearances from Assange since his Internet access was cut, nor has anything been signed with his pgp key.

edit: upon further consideration there might be alternative explanations, but we would still need more evidence furnished to believe wikileaks sources credibly. No explanation or acknowledgement has been provided for the checksum mismatches.
