I thought so too but on some issues like GMO, gun control, diamonds, etc. liberals believe fake news all the time. Breitbart came from a guy who learned the business working at Huffington post.

It's not hubris. Software really is hard - that's why it looks more like voodoo than respectable engineering discipline. It has too many degrees of freedom; most programmers are only aware of a tiny subspace of states their program can be in.

I agree lack of consequences is a big part of the problem. But this only hints at a solution strategy, it doesn't describe the problem itself. The problem is that software is so internally complex that it's beyond comprehension of a human mind. To ultimately solve it and turn programming into a profession[0], we'd need to rein in the complexity - and that would involve actually developing detailed "industry best practices"[1] and stick to them. This would require seriously dumbing down the whole discipline.

This reminds me of something I read a couple of years ago about an earth-orbit satellite collecting O-zone data.. when it encountered the 'hole' it ended up throwing away most of the data since it failed its 'common sense' test.
Wish I could find the link.

In the case of an altimeter it makes sense to be aggressive with the 'common-sense' component to throw out bad data. But with other things like temperature, you wouldn't want to throw out data that could look wrong, but could actually be caused by some unknown phenomenon (like say, superheated gas pockets on mars) as that's exactly the type of weird stuff you'd be interested in.

I guess the problem is distinguishing [data that differs greatly from what was expected] and [data from a sensor malfunctions]
Re 'no moral expectation of speech for private businesses', a frequent argument made against free speech is that free speech is only required to be enforced by the government, the first amendment doesn't apply to private companies. This is true, but assumes there is no moral imperative to compel private companies to enforce free speech.

Even better: gradually replacing parts of the current C code with Rust code is possible, while keeping the same API and ABI. IIRC, someone is already trying it with librsvg.
The hard problem is "why do we have qualia?" and it is explained by neural nets. You input sensations and you get latent representations that are mapped into a space of possible representations. So all those ineffable perceptions are just values in this space of representations.

Thus, qualia appear by neural net processing of sensations, and are fed into a recurrent network that judges them moment to moment and updates its internal state, as well as perform actions. That is why we feel a stream of perceptions, not just separate moments.

Qualia appear to be irreducible because the mapping from perceptions to representations is nonlinear - even if we can duplicate it in neural nets, we still can't assign semantic value to each neuron and weight in the network. So it appears magical because it is of a level of complexity that exceeds the human working memory. But it is not so magical that we can't replicate it. We can recognize objects better than humans on certain datasets, and we have word embeddings built on huge corpora of text that are being used for translation. We can compute the "feel" of a word or image.

The thing about the satanic ritial claim is that it makes sense if you view it as a method of discrediting the victim / story. If someone is molested and the perpetrators also conduct a whacky satanic ritual during the act, the victim is going to have a hell of a hard time being believed if they come forth. Hell, we see it in this thread with people dismissing the whole thing based on that alone.

Don't get me wrong, I think the evidence for it is a stretch, but there is some objectively weird stuff in the emails that do not make sense if taken literally.

See also astroturf campaigns. However in some sense all of these examples are about deception (in some real or imagined sense). On second thought, the natural/artificial dichotomy in diamonds, food &c. is indeed very similar, it is about deception of getting a product that conforms to some ideal of natural. Compare the situation between food and tires, nobody would complain about non-organic tires, I wouldn't be surprised if most people demand non-organic tires even if there would be a plant based substitute. In food it is just the exact opposite.
re: " it's frightening to think we could soon be in a world where entire stories are categorically dismissed or accepted based on their source, rather than their individual content."

Ha. That's what's called brand and reputation. If you build trust over ten articles just so you can exploit that trust for one uber-damaging faux one, that's NOT frightening. That's life. And it's EXACTLY how things should work.

That said, the road of "censorship" is a slippery one. The root problem is thinking - mainly critical thinking. Spoon feeding people the "right" info is just as bad - perhaps worse - than keeping people from the "wrong" info.

Sure, stop Breitbart and the like, but it's not going to solve the problem. So yeah, here we go again, dumping a ton of time and energy into solving a symptom - disease left completely unaddressed - that will only show up again elsewhere in some other slightly different form.

The Rwandan genocide was in many ways a grass roots movement - Most of the killing was perpetrated by normal everyday people using farm implements and the like. It was also incredibly efficient. 800,000 people killed in just 6 weeks - more efficient than the Nazi Holocaust. A big reason for that was the unfiltered radio, spouting hate speech and misinformation, rousing ordinary people and priming them to commit extraordinary, unspeakable acts.
Personally, I think this clip looks almost as boring as a screensaver. But then again, I might not be the target audience.

That is pretty much how they worked the Posix compliance requirement for government/forces use for NT/2000: the API was available through an optional (and IIRC not quite complete) module that very few ever turned on even where it was a contractual requirement that it be present.

The option you suggest could be present but no doubt not be in use by many people because extension-X, third-party-app-Y, or internal-automation-subsystem-Z, or some feature of AD itself, would break.

I think they make mined diamonds more impure. And I think mined diamond companies use them to exploit men through artificial scarcity.

While the dumb'ed down term making the rounds is "fake news" the really issue is what comes down to faux journalism. Publishing something a "news" that's been fact checked doesn't make it legit if there's a baked in spin/bias that intentional ignores other facts, different POVs, etc. We're getting mostly grade school story telling, and too often that's being passed off as journalism.

In short, the problem isn't fake news. That's easy enough to spot. The problem is the rampant propaganda as embraced by just about ever major mainstream "news" outlet. Most are perceived as legit, but few, at this point, actually deserve that level of respect.

The focus of genes as the fundamental location of the information of life has been a multi-decade assumption that has not born the fruit it was assumed that the "code" of life would produce. Seeing life through the lens of genetics is as meaningful as judging it against any other arbitrary metric, and leaves out so much that it permits little insight beyond further refinement of the model.

Much like the mistakes made recently by the established political class in over emphasizing the predictive power of their metrics even as the world itself spins further and further away from them.

That would be great if the nation states were well integrated together, but still separate enough to maintain their specificity.

Yeah, and that would be plenty for a 'super fast' charge. You don't really need your phone to charge 'in seconds', this would get you there in around 5 minutes depending on battery size which is plenty quick enough.

(Working: ~3.6V * 3000mAh = 10.8Wh = 38.9kJ, at 100W that's 389 seconds for a full charge.)
10000 mAh batteries is totally possible to buy, I use one from ZeroLemon.

Of course, the phone is much bulkier, than with original battery, and phones with replaceable batteries are dying out.

Get off your perch, man.

What is interesting is that you chose to make a false criticism of the post, and not investigate the myriad links supporting his assertion.

Whether it's pedantically true is open for discussion, but it's certainly supported with more than hearsay as you suggest.

In the first [1] link, the article calls out a fact based comparison of a title change with links to the source:

First, The New York Times changed the article’s headline, from: “Bernie Sanders Scored Victories for Years Via Legislative Side Doors,” to: Via Legislative Side Doors, Bernie Sanders Won Modest Victories.” The article also added two paragraphs criticizing Sanders, portraying him as unrealistic, a commonly-used Clinton campaign argument—especially as Sanders continues to be much more progressive than Clinton on a number of important issues.

Also in [1]:

In the latest WikiLeaks release of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta’s emails, several Times journalists are implicated in abandoning any semblance of objectivity to fulfill the agenda of the Clinton campaign. In July 2015, correspondent Mark Leibovich emailed the Clinton campaign a transcript of an interview he conducted with Clinton for them to proofread and edit as they saw fit.

Which includes links to the actual emails, as well as a discussion of how the NYT is owned by Slim who donates a lot to the Clinton Foundation:

The New York Times’ majority shareholder, billionaire Carlos Slim, has donated between one and five million dollars to the Clinton Foundation. The Times’ staff, especially on politics, may not be directly influenced by their wealthy owners, but the hiring practices and editorial board’s decisions reflect the desire to maintain, preserve, and perpetuate the status quo—not issue challenges to this establishment.

In the next article [2] Mr. Starkweather provides sources showing that the NYT modified their coverage of HRC based on the request of the campaign:

The New York Times political correspondent made the omissions at the request of Hillary Clinton’s campaign lawyer, Marc E. Elias, and DNC officials. The emails, published by Wikileaks, also appear to show that Confessore made other edits to the article at the request of former DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Shultz.

The provided information directly links to source material, esp. wrt Wikileaks, and your accusation is baseless.

> It takes some financial assets 3-5 days to settle after the initial transaction goes through, weaving its way through many database systems (some many decades old) and middlemen who each take a cut, e.g. clearing houses. Any established industry has lots of cruft that builds up.

This is not just "established" players however. This is something anyone that has ever transferred money via PayPal knows as well. A transfer can also take 3-5 days. And PayPal wasn't an entrenched player originally although you could argue now though that they are.

Its kind of absurd that an online transaction should take this long and this is with "known" parties on both sides of the transaction many times., i.e I transfer my buddy money to pay for a concert ticket.

What I have heard many times is that this is by design and these companies are merely playing the "float" with this artificially long turn around time.

I would be curious to hear anyones feedback/take on this.

> when I did read the spec, I was pleasantly surprised, perhaps naive, that all the information I needed to learn the language was right there

This...I couldn't place enough emphasis on it.

If I could attribute a single factor which has had the most impact in differentiating my performance vs. peers who were hired around the same time, it'd be a philosophy of setting aside time to study specs in detail and keeping up with them.
I don't think your stance is unreasonable. Far from it. However, as a worker, I prefer to get paid a lump sum per month as long as I am free to manage my time. I work extra when I want to work extra (which usually coincides with my employer needing some extra help). When I need time off, I take it.

Normally I work more than I get paid for. Sometimes disaster strikes, or illness, or once in a lifetime opportunities. I want my employer to respect what I do and give me the opportunity to take the time that I need.

I freely give them my time. They freely give me my space.

I've worked in places where they track every second. You have a certain number of sick days and god help you if you need more. Punch in. Punch out. Emergencies happen and I'm off to my manager to sign off my overtime slip before I'll even think about stemming the flow of money resulting from downtime. I could go on for a long time, but you get the point.

I don't like working for places that act that way. And while I understand the necessity to protect those that must work in such terrible conditions, I don't want to give up the way I like to live: where we both freely give each other what we need.

One quick final comment. I don't leave this to chance. I tell my employers pretty clearly that this is how I like to live. If they can't accommodate me, it's usually a sign for me to start looking elsewhere to work. Not everybody has that luxury, but I think it is the ideal they should strive for rather than what people usually ask for (overtime pay).
