The larger agenda of informing people of only incorrect information provided by independent media. Surely you've noticed the many stories about "fake news" recently.

Where are the stories about independent media getting a scoop? Publishing a story the corporate media ignore or would prefer to ignore? Exposing corporate media errors or misquoted sources?

Corporate media (usually) tells the truth, but only part of the truth, and in so doing they attempt to skew public opinion. In this case, they'd like to skew public opinion toward distrust of independent media.
He said them in jest, and the audience didn't react in horror the way the original clickbait said they did, as proven by recordings. It was pure projection and misrepresentation on the author's part, and everyone else listened and believed and ran with it.

It was also false, horrific and libellous, and he did lose his job over it. Just because the stick used to beat people with was misogyny instead of cheese pizza, doesn't make the act of spreading false information any less despicable.

Edit: BTW, the fact that our media is now staffed by people who are utterly unable to separate their subjective experience from objective reality should seriously worry you. It should also make you reconsider anything you've heard about what's going on in culture wars online and offline, because I guarantee you, the people covering it do not have the statistical and digital literacy to accurately gauge the size and nature of things.

We currently have the 80 cm Spitzer telescope in space that covers the same wavelength range, and the 3.5 m Herschel telescope also recently finished its mission at slightly longer wavelengths. So really to make breakthroughs in science to justify the cost of a space mission, we need the full 6.5 m telescope.
Thank you so much. I feel much better now :)

Google acquires Qwiklabs to teach developers cloud skills
Exactly, and the NYT is using the Pizza Shop's plight for its own agenda of painting its competitors under one brush. If they really worried about alternative media, rather than dictating their fakeness, they'd educate their readers on how to analyse information on their own, instead of attempting to restore their information monopoly - where they are the arbiter of what's true.

Wow. Castro? That's pretty crazy.
I'm kind of saddened and dismayed by the number of comments that need to be downvoted into oblivion in this thread. I really appreciate that Hacker News is a place where I can learn something from other points of view, and where even if I disagree with someone, a lot of times I will gain an appreciation for their way of thinking.

But now with a number of comments insinuating that somehow this story is invalid because it's reported by NYT, and NYT is the real fake news, is baffling and infuriating. I think the NYT may have some problems, but blithely and falsely reporting that a presidential candidate is running a child sex ring out of a pizza parlor isn't one of them.
Free and Instant CDN, 0.7.2 released
You can be. A well known construction firm owner (McAlpine) was accused on Twitter of (something, can't remember). It was libellous, and after winning in court his Lawyer simply downloaded all those who had retweeted, identified ten thousand or so of them and wrote them a letter each explaining they were personally liable and were going to get sued.

The effect was ... incredible.

Was interesting to see how much offense people will take at something minor like this, and how far people will go - like making up a 2 paragraph story and attaching a picture of a rat in food that they found on Google. Lots of "normal" people making up stories that were completely fictional, because they felt driven to punish a business (that they had never visited) for this.
The point of democracy is that EVERY citizen has a say in their government, despite how insane their belief system may be.

Exactly but its their choice to write this article and they present no evidence the accusations have been debunked.

At best Its a weak attempt to defend the place, at worst its an example of a real news story that is being called fake to suppress opposition. Which is IMO what this whole fake news thing is really about.

The left's playbook is so one dimensional - always smear the messenger, never debate the message.
> For people with more traditional values, it's incredibly weird and degenerate.

For people with "traditional values," anyone that is not "normal" is a "pervert" and once you've crossed the line into pervert territory anything that could qualify you as a pervert is equally acceptable. This is why you get people stating that transwomen/transmen are also pedophiles... every single one of them. Why? Being a transwoman or a transman makes you a pervert, and once you're a pervert you're equally likely to engage in anal sex as you are to rape a child (according to their logic) because perverts don't see any difference between the two.
If costs matter to you, e.g. for home backups, don't buy Glacier (and heck don't buy S3). A 3TB drive costs about 110eur, so if you'd have to buy a new one every year (you don't) that'd cost 110/3/1000/12=0.31 cents per gigabyte per month. Glacier? 7 times more expensive at 2.3ct.

Hardware is usually not a business' main cost but it does matter for home users, small businesses or startups that didn't get funded yet, some of whom might consider Tarsnap or some other online storage solution which uses Glacier at best and S3 at worst. Now you could suddenly be 7× cheaper off if you do upkeep yourself (read: buy a raspberry pi) and if you throw away drives after one year.
> How can anyone ever disprove a conspiracy theory like that? It's impossible.

Indeed, you cannot. To even address it directly gives it credence and power. It is so absolutely asininely absurd as to warrant complete disregard.
That figure isn't quite right.

First, salary varies depending on what you mean by researcher. Someone with an MS in a hot field is going to make more as a specialist than a PhD student or postdoc in academia and professor salaries can heavily depend based on rank and funding. Some people at the top make out quite well, but they are either 1) entrenched in the bureaucracy (e.g. grant writing, publicity, actually running the university) and removed from actual research or 2) they have a side job (see Steven LaValle or any business school professor who does consulting work).

Second, looking at the exact quote from the article ("Uber has just bought a half-a-year-old company [Otto] with 70 employees for almost $700 million"), the analysis is off. Yes, $700 million / 70 people = $10 million per person, but they aren't just paying for people. They are paying for tech, code, IP, basically whatever the company has. Anyone who had points on the package there was probably pretty happy considering the company was less than a year old, but any developer without shares didn't suddenly become a millionaire over night.

This all said, if you are a specialist in a niche field that's going through a renaissance (which both robotics and ML are doing right now), you can command a nice salary.
> In summary we've seen that: Haskell decreases development time...

Have we actually seen that or have you just asserted that? Is this really true, and if it is, by how much? Haskell has been around for a couple of decades now, and has had least two hype cycles (I remember that when I was in university in the late '90s, Haskell was the next big thing). It does not seem to expand significantly even within organizations that have tried it (and that's a very negative signal), with at least one notable case where the language has been abandoned by a company that was among the flagship adopters.

In general, we know that often linguistic abstractions that seem like a good idea in theory -- or even seem to work nicely in small programs -- don't end up having a significant effect on the bottom line when larger software is concerned. People say that scientific evidence of actual contribution is hard to collect, but we don't even have well-researched anecdotes. Not only do we not have strong evidence in favor of this hypothesis, but there aren't even promising hints. All we do have is people who really like Haskell based on its aesthetics and really wish that the the nice theoretical arguments translated to significant bottom-line gains.

This blog post by Dan Ghica, a PL researcher, really addresses this point: there is nothing to suggest that aesthetically nice theory translates to actual software development gains, and wishful thinking (or personal affinity) simply cannot replace gathering of data: http://danghica.blogspot.com/2016/09/what-else-are-we-gettin...
I believe it came from an email ordering cheese pizza. Cheese pizza and child pornography both abbreviate to CP, so obviously Hillary Clinton and her staff are all ordering children to abuse. Out of morbid curiosity I looked at some of the other 'evidence', and it goes downhill from there (to the level of "so and so went to Portugal on vacation, and while he was in the country a young girl went missing"). The people involved at this point are either trolls or delusional. Probably a mix of both.
Because humans (and indeed all life) have "spirits" which can think independently of the body, and that's the true reason we are conscious/self-aware.

Apart from the obvious "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You claim this, now prove it" angle, this has so many faults it can only be handwavium and wishful thinking.

Why would the spirit need a glove? Why would a glove need a spirit? Do roundworms and algae and cockroaches have spirits? Why couldn't a 'God' create a thinking being without using a spirit? Why is there conveniently a spirit-force that can supply anything from 10k humans to 7 billion humans with spirits? It can't be created or destroyed, then what happens when it runs out? Where is it stored? How does it get from there to here?

What does it mean that the spirit can 'think' independently of the body? As far as we know, thinking is a matter of survival in the physical world - interpreting sensory data, outwitting predators and prey, remembering sources of food and water, outsmarting and outfighting competitors for social standing and mating rights. What use would a spirit have for any of this ability?

Nothing is perfectly efficient, so there will be waste heat in the process of information transfer from body to spirit, where is that measurable heat? What protocol does it use to transmit information? What forces and particles and transmitters and receivers? What power source? Where in your body are sandwiches turned into ectoplasm? Where in the spirit force are memories stored? What use are physical world memories after body death, why would a spirit want or need them? And if they're no use, what's the point in describing it as still 'you' after death?

If the brain can build spirit receiver mechanisms, then they're made out of physical things in the physical world. So where's the chunk of physics (or the gap) which covers them? Where's the Faraday cage that can block them? If brains can grow them, then lab-grown brain tissue can, and human machines can, so we could plausibly build AI / thinking machines and electromechanical/cyborg Gods one day. That's completely the opposite of you saying it's "impossible", since it's still just manipulation of matter, which we are getting ever better at. Take over the communication mechanism and pump adverts and malware into it, right? False enticing memories.

If you were going to invent anything which is not proven, and claim it's the truth, isn't it just so convenient that it's a) based on faith, b) fixes (or nullifies) all earthly suffering, c) addresses all fear of death and illness, d) includes an untestable but scary justification for why you should do as you're told (and not be 'bad') and e) has /literally no compromises or downsides/?

If that's not too good to be true, I don't know what is.

"Spirits are created by God beings from intelligences (which is a spiritual resource that can be neither created nor destroyed)."

"Woo-woo is created by WOW from handwavium (which is a woo-woo resource that {science words to try and sound authentic}"

> just like how back then their printers and cameras weren't innovative, neither are their routers now

Nothing Apple has done lately is really innovative. Their value is taking something the "commodity" manufacturers already do, and doing it right (for more money). That's precisely where the Airport Express sat. Pay a little more, never have to worry about it.

Same with phones, same with computers, same with tablets.
Indeed.

> Well, now that the dust has cleared and the story has faded from the American press, there’s a postscript that amounts to: “Never mind.” It turns out that, just as Hunt has claimed, the 72-year-old scientist’s comments during a luncheon at a science journalism conference in Korea in June were an awkward self-deprecating joke—greeted with laughter (not the reported “stony silence”) by a mostly female audience. The “Tim Hunt, misogynist scientist” narrative has been falling apart piece by piece over the past month; last week, it was finished off by a snippet of audio recorded by a female attendee and made public by The Times. Now, attention should turn to the real scandal: irresponsible journalism magnified by social media frenzy.

That...depends. In the U.S., under federal constitutional case law, if the matter either concerns a public figure or a matter of public concern, actual malice (knowing falsity or reckless disregard for the truth) is required.

The issue here would seem likely to meet the standard for public concern.

Hey, if a user deleted their comment, that's their prerogative and it's unfair to override that without their permission. People here need to treat each other better than on the internet at large, or what sort of a community are we?

It's extremely rare that we'd edit a comment but I don't think you have property rights over this one, so I'm going to redact the username you put in there and ask you not to do this again.
I'm not overly focused on the concerns of a small minority of the population. The elite have their own challenges, but they have enormous resources with which to tackle them, and while some of them would not be thrilled about high transparency, some would embrace it, just as long as there were better protections for the transparent, which there currently aren't.

I get the sense that I'm upsetting you, and I don't mean to do that. I'm sorry if I said something to offend. I want only to engage in an open discussion about this and to offer a different point of view. I believe in it very strongly, and I have given it a great deal of thought and even given talks on how to operate an economy within such a system. I by no means think it's foolproof, nor Utopian- just better.

I'm currently under deadline and a bit pressed for time, and I feel like we might have a more effective conversation over skype. Feel free to email me at advice@gmail.com if you'd like to swap contact info and chat about it further.

No, we more than likely have you beat. People blame Hillary for "losing the election" (that she won, actually). It's the minority of voters who happen to live in privileged areas that get to choose our next President who chose the nitwit over a Yale Law grad. Smart has been out in my country for a while now and it's really a shame considering the superpower status.
I hit that scenario, when we create tons of small files (e.g. < 10KB ones). In that use case it is often cheaper and easier just to use database such as DynamoDB.

See my other comment, it got link to article about S3 costs optimizations which got more detailed recommendation.
Even npm (despite its many flaws) is in far better shape than pip.
That isn't really explanatory to me though. It's like identifying your running operating system with the patterns of electron spins in your hard disk/RAM: while they may be identifiable with each other, that doesn't mean you can derive useful knowledge about one from the other without a huge amount of other information which has little to do with the hard disk itself, and isn't really encoded in it.

The amount of information we need to derive consciousness from neurons could be enormous. My (utterly uninformed) guess is that there are huge frontiers of information theory which need to be crossed first. Similarly to how the discovery of entropy revealed new kinds of knowledge about physical systems, and new ways of obtaining it.

While physics definitely does not have any hiding place for the soul (the relevant energy scales have all been explored,) the interface between biology and information theory is largely unknown, and potentially limitless.

There is something called Integrated-Information Theory which attempts to do that kind of thing, but it doesn't seem to be thought very credible by the experts.
I'm not referring to Emacs with that, but rather to Stallman holding Emacs functionality hostage to boost GNU OS platform(s). Which are definitely lackluster.
What are the pros and cons of website builders for a marketing site?
I'm an independent app developer looking to create a marketing web site for my app.

I want it to be visually simple, minimal, responsive, superfast and be beautifully designed, like https://overcast.fm/ or https://thomas101.github.io/wmail/. It should make an excellent first impression to potential customers, rather than seeming like a run-of-the-mill site.

Are drag-and-drop website builders like Weebly a good fit for this? The goal is to not put in more effort than necessary on the site, because most of my efforts should go into the app, not the site.

If my app is a smashing success and, one year from now, I have to rebuild the site from scratch in code, that's not a problem. At this point, I don't want to spend too much time solving a problem I don't have, and may never have.
Well sure it's a signature of being under attack, but is there also a solution to whom you are going to block and whom you are going to send a response to? That is not immediately obvious to me when packets have random source IPs, ports, query IDs and normal-looking domains.
Screaming 'the whole press lies!' and falsely equating it with deliberate fabrications has been done by the far right for 80 years.
