I think it all three cases one problem was the lack of news. News agencies were shut down unless they "cooperated".

Therefore having a wide spectrum of media is IMO desirable, even if it means fake news. The problem starts when the state regulates the media because that's when having only one (government friendly) source of information starts.

Finally, I think, the problem is not the liars but the acting believers. If you fall for such a lie, fine you are entitled to think whatever you want. However, if you act on it (by threatening or committing violence), then you become a criminal. But that part is already covered by current legislation.
Fair point.

Edit: The Trump thing, from my perspective, seemed to get wrapped up in one post and then people moved on.

I'm with you on the Tesla worship.
I think there's also an argument to be made that acceptable behavior is socially learned, and having others reinforce destructive behavior is a form of legitimacy.
For point 3, there are options like Adafruit's PiGrrl series, some of which I believe need 3d printing (but you can order that done for you from elsewhere). The downside of the PiGrrl is the lack of keyboard. The upside are the controls are better.

On point 4, yes there are, but this is rather convoluted too. Web browsers are supposed to be used to browse web pages. If they wanted to use javascript to create a cross-platform app, they should've used something like electron.

Point 5 I'll get round to when I have time, but I'm very time poor. I've already started seeing if I can improve mednafen support for Atari Lynx and get the GLES in 4.4 working better with mednafen.

I'm totally with you on the idea of raspbian being the only answer - I really don't like that. Unfortunately many of the problems come from the fact that the Allwinner chip used is so poorly supported and that people don't write code for multiple architectures, so packages build but then you get segfaults over stupid things like endianness when you run binaries.

I would hope that it was a sensor fusion error.

IMU saturation is an expected condition, especially in this type of extreme real-world environment. It's absolutely normal to temporarily saturate IMU sensors on drones during hard landings for example and saturation values are generally clear in the documentation. A large part of the difficulty in position and attitude estimators is in rejecting glitching or erroneous data.

From the description (specifically that the duration of the saturation was an issue), it would sound like the position estimator (most likely a kalman filter) did not reject or distrust saturation values properly and converged on a bad solution. It appears that any strategy in place to (for example) reset the estimator state if it diverged from more reliable sensors (such as the radar altimeter), failed or were not included. It would also appear that the case where the IMU saturated during descent for over 1 second was not properly tested, as they were able to reproduce the issue in simulation.

This must be disappointing for the ESA but at least it was found now 'in beta' rather than in the relatively more important next lander.

Well, acceptable discourse is often used as a vague pretext for censorship. And Googling of "acceptable discourse Reddit" doesn't have much useful result. It's good to clarify the specifics.
That's being needlessly alarmist.

If anything, a more realistic vision of what will happen:

-Asker: Mr President, <insert question>

-President: <insert unpopular answer>

-Fans of President: I BET THEY EDITED THE PRESIDENT'S ANSWER and a bunch of drama

The whole EIB/KNX standard works like this and has been around for more than 20 years and there are hundreds of devices to choose from.

It is designed around local low bound (9600 bps) network where you can connect KNX devices (thermostats, actuators, sensors etc) or gateways/routers to other networks.

Only problem it has is that the communication is not encrypted, but being local and isolated, it is not a very big concern.

Every other home/building automation systems worked like this recently until some marketing geniuses came up with the IoT campaign.

Doubt in those stories should better be based on the part where it is just another get-rich-quickly scheme. Otherwise you end up stacking conspiracy on top of conspiracy, which at the end of the day leaves you even more vulnerable to fake news.
Essentially yes. Any smart employer will make sure that 'whatever you do belongs to us' from a contractual perspective. That's going to be important to them, and it's common. I wouldn't even suggest otherwise.

But usually I send in an invoice as the first milestone is done (usually there is enough conversation/back-forth for them to know the milestone effectively done - or like a web-demo or something), and softly hint that I'll send in the deliverable (i.e. code and assets) when it's paid.

There's no way a company can take you to task for code what you have written, wherein you have not been paid. Even if they did - it would be a long, expensive process and would be a huge distraction from whatever it is they are trying to do. The pragmatic reality of 'you get the milestone for payment' trumps any kind of legal contextually - if they want to move forward they need to pay, it speaks right to the operational reality of their bottom line.

But lucky enough, I've never had a problem.
Good work diagnosing the error. A reliable diagnostic is a great outcome of a bad situation. At least now, measures can be taken to eliminate this error from future scenarios.

A lot of negative comments here, especially around IP theft. We have a couple of Chinese investors and they've been top quartile for us. The main reason Chinese money is looking to invest in the US is because they need a release valve for their money. RenRen invested in my friend's company and he said they've been great. I heard that Horizons has some tough terms but they are also great investors. As for the Chinese LPs I've spoken with, they seem much more entrepreneurial and less risk adverse than western LPs. This is an economy that has seen a near 38 year uninterrupted bull run with a lot of technological development. It's not surprising they are optimistic and want to invest in venture especially, if they want to diversify out of their existing industries/economy.
Ah yeah of course I agree with you that inexperience and mistakes are correlated, I was just saying in this case, youth is not an excuse.
And the more general tactic was used very well by Trump during the campaign. For example when he claimed to be being "sarcastic" when he said Clinton and Obama "founded" ISIS.

I found most fascinating - in a horrible way - the exchange he had with a conservative radio host (http://www.hughhewitt.com/donald-trump-makes-return-visit/):

HH: I’ve got two more questions. Last night, you said the President was the founder of ISIS. I know what you meant. You meant that he created the vacuum, he lost the peace.

DT: No, I meant he’s the founder of ISIS. I do. He was the most valuable player. I give him the most valuable player award. I give her, too, by the way, Hillary Clinton.

HH: But he’s not sympathetic to them. He hates them. He’s trying to kill them.

DT: I don’t care. He was the founder.

... [later]

DT: If he would have done things properly, you wouldn’t have had ISIS.

The problem here is that he's saying a) Obama IS the founder of ISIS, and b) Obama created the conditions for their rise. One of these is reasonable (in the sense that it can be discussed) and one is clearly nonsense.

Which means that he can claim to his supporters one thing - the crazy one - and then defend himself against critics by pointing to the saner version and cry 'sarcasm!'. It's like the phrase "talking out of both sides of your mouth" but at the same time.

What is really puzzling me, apart from the fact that they obviously didn't delete my account, is the discrepancy with the email address and the recent emails after 3 years of silence.

Well IMO they probably shouldn't, but then again people shouldn't be abusing their position either.
The simpler statement would be: the lander started to spin after the parachute opened, and the sensor properly detected that it rotated a lot, giving the maximum value as an output, but the rotation lasted for at least one second and we made the rest of software without having any idea that this could happen, so this one sensor output confused the whole lander. Or even shorter "nobody here expected it could spin the whole second."

Once the model is so simple, there are many ways to program it wrongly.

To compare, NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter

burned close to Mars in 1998 because the "ground based computer" programmed per contract by Lockheed used lbf·s values instead of agreed N·s values.

The values generated on the ground were 4.45 times bigger.

No native support for multi-tier pricing is the most frustrating thing I come up against. Often have clients wanting a wholesale/reseller tier. There are add-ons for it and kludges, but it'd be great to have even basic built-in options.
Honestly I feel like all this boils down to "I'm friends with spez" and I don't like that. You are suppressing this story. Ironically your moderation in this thread is pretty similar to the behavior on Reddit that's being called out in the first place.
Okay and how do you choose the key for the encryption? If it is the same for all users (which from what you said it kind of has to be?) you could just decrypt it?
The same could be said for any industry.

Anyone can practise carpentry, but if someone is going to do so professionally and build structures that can cause injury or damage if they fail, then they should be accountable for the consequences. This is why indemnity insurance exists.

In software, a lack of rigour is fine for toy applications, but when livelihoods and safety become involved, we need to be mindful of the consequences and prepared to take responsibility, just like everyone else in society is expected to do.

Why would you care at all about something like that?

While it may sound that the failure was caused by a rookie mistake- I'm sure the on-board systems were designed and developed by people who know what they are doing.

1. You have no definitive proof for that. If you do, please present it.

2. The amount of Futures contract in Okcoin is around $120million (that's not even capital, but the amount of leveraged futures). The total market cap of bitcoin is $12Bn which 100 times higher than that.

3. GBTC has a market cap of $190m with a 50% premium on bitcoin price. So clearly it's not only the chinese who drives the bitcoin price/economy.

So basically Reddit has now been proven to have comments that may or may not be what the user intended. That alone should hopefully lead Reddit code changes that prevent anyone but the author of a post from modifying a post without very obvious indicators if permitted at all.

As it stands now, reddit is pretty much imparts no trust and nothing read there would have any trust associated with it.

depending on context I wonder what the legal exposure could be. could they trace a modified post that suggested something illegal?

Is the CEO of Reddit technical or non-technical? I'd be most shocked if this meant Reddit had user-content-editing tools for its employees, rather then one rogue employee going into the database(s) and changing data there.

I strongly get the feeling that tools were created at Reddit to allow them to do this, suggesting that sometime ago employees at Reddit thought "wouldn't it be great if we could change what users actually said"...

Don't get me wrong I feel no protectionism for a lot of the scumbags on boards like Reddit, but I would find an extreme amount of hypocrisy in "the front page of the internet" actively manipulating its content in such a way.
Outright lies isn't the only danger, though.

What they hold back, what they publish and when they publish it can potentially be abused - for instance to present or enhance one narrative, and obscure another.

And Wikileaks itself could be used as a tool by other actors ( e.g. for political gain) via strategic leaks or somesuch…
> So when I hear "open source", I don't have to go and read the license and validate that these requirements are true...... This saves me time, headaches and money.

Most of us have some vague understanding about Licenses.

Eg: MIT/X11 specifically says "...FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT..." but it is "open source"

That is, if you earn too much money from some MIT License software, the author itself is free to sue you the way he/she can (eg, patents). One example could be dotNet from M$.

So better stick to software pieces that are licensed under GNU [A]GPLv3 or Apache v2 (If you care patent issues). Also, note that you can trust "free software" guys more than "open source" ones.

edit: Also note that this can also be a reason why Apple didn't update any GNU packages once they were relicensed to GPLv3+. (The main reason could be the GPLv3 requirement that the user should be able to replace the software if [s]he wish to. Apache doesn't have this requirement, and Apple used that for swift)
Exactly my sentiments, and it only took place for an hour. I didn't mind at all, it was pretty entertaining, but then again I don't get drawn into the drama Reddit's userbase has frequently.

False flag operations. Purposeful provocateurs. Seeing a lot of that lately.

The thing to remember -- and this comes before the time there was a net -- is that the vast majority of people are nice, socially intelligent, and well-meaning.

What the net is doing is convincing us that those in the out-group are simple-minded fools being led around by evil demagogues. That is not the case.

But the net is not doing that because of bad people on the net. The net is doing that because humans are predisposed to consume lots of content that tells them this. The fault is internal to each of us. The net is just automating the ability of content providers to take advantage of it.
