The EO is a good example of how your request could be very hard to satisfy.

I challenge that the media didn't cover what was wrong with it. They did! They explained the legal issues, expanded on the natsec consequences (we all know about the Iraqi interpreters now).

And I saw polls in the NYT about this. Asking multiple questions as well, notably showing that a solid majority did not support touching permanent residents (which was the crux of the legal argument)

Let's say Trump decided to nuke the ocean. How does the media cover that objectively?

If you just say "Trump is going to nuke the ocean" without stating more facts, that's bias by omission. Like when they would report on Trump's voter fraud claim without stating that there's zero evidence.

But if you state the facts, then that looks like bias! Some things are"objectively" bad ideas!

But if you say "Trump is doing something stupid with no logical basis" then that looks like bias.

If you have only bad decisions come out of the WH, then it's the press's responsibility to point that out.
My brother in law is a small-scale farmer in Wales and produces chicken and duck eggs. I've previously discussed egg washing with him.

My understanding from such conversations is that eggs in the EU are definitely not washed.

Supermarket caged-hen eggs are generally clean in appearance due to the lack of items that might otherwise stick to the them.

I have found free range supermarket eggs, on the other hand, to sometimes have small features stuck to them.

I'm not sure what accounts for the generally clean appearance of supermarket eggs. Maybe eggs are brushed in some manner to remove obvious dirt. But the washing of eggs is certainly not a legal practice in the EU.
I'm mainly concerned with applications that follow standard protocols and allow the user to ask them to connect to arbitrary hosts. There are still a lot of those, even if these days standard protocols are dying out in favor of centralized proprietary services ;)

That includes both non-HTTP TLS-wrapped protocols like email and IRC, and applications that access user-supplied HTTP URLs but aren't browsers, like media players, RSS clients, git, Matrix (chat), wget, apt-get, etc.

Proprietary services are trickier because there's a question of "security for whom". As someone who mostly uses computers he owns, I would definitely like to be able to sniff Dropbox and see what it's sending. (Actually, Dropbox is a bad example because most Dropbox users already trust them with a lot of personal data, but there are many stories of, e.g., random mobile apps sending user data to servers with no justification.) That's not a security compromise from my perspective because it's my data. But Dropbox or whoever may not want people to get at their app's internal communications, and may see it as a compromise from their perspective. And if I'm using a system where someone else has root, I might agree with them. Of course, root can always attach with a debugger and try to extract the data anyway, but then there's the cat and mouse game of obfuscation...
This is why I ultimately ended up buying an HP ML10 for my FreeNAS box, $300 for a Xeon E3-1220, board and iLO ended up being cheaper than buying a barebones + the CPU (which is just shy of $200 retail). I would like to have something that supports more memory, but to get anything with more sockets or support for larger DIMM's you start looking at the Broadwell-E or Xeon-E5 chips and those are considerably more expensive (my ThinkServer TD340 cost me $700 as an open box with a E5-2403v2 and 8GB of RAM installed).

If Zen client chips have full ECC support and can handle 64GB of memory I'll be sold easily on an upgrade for my TrueNAS box, then I'll anxiously await some lower-cost (4/8c) dual-socket server CPU's and swap out my TD340 with some supermicro barebones build.
According to the BBC article "Ketchup debate: To chill or not to chill..." [0] from a few days ago, the NHS advice states eggs are "best stored in the fridge as they will be kept at a constant temperature".

I will be surprised if rocks don't have this kind of "smallest dot". They have no self, but the content of their awareness is also empty, so it perfectly matches them.

I think that idea of "self" is meaningless if there's no machinery capable of explicitly representing parts of its own state and operations. There's no single "smallest dot", but sequence of coevolving systems and representations of the system in itself.
But does U2F require a USB device? Where Gibson's SQRL I think is smart is that since it uses a QR code to do the challenge response, it is compatible with every platform, including those that do not have a USB port (think of a corporate workstation where you are not allowed to plug a key, or a MacBook Pro when you don't have the right dongle, or a tablet).

In term of user experience, the website shows a QR code, all you have to do is to show the challenge QR code to the phone, the phone connects to the server directly with the response, and you didn't need to even type a login or password. The security is basically handled by your phone, which if it is an iphone has a fingerprint reader, secure enclave, encrypted disk and wipes out the data when brute forced. Not 100% secure (nothing is) but better than 99.9% of alternatives solutions, including password managers living in Windows, an open environment full of potential malware.

I just wish it had a more consensual / well known sponsor. I think the idea could really work.

If google was down for 2 weeks, there would be some big problems for some companies and some people. But there are plenty of work arounds: phones still work just fine, amazon would be up, etc. If it was the whole information grid down, yes that'd be a large hit to the economy. But 9/11 essentially shut down business for 2 weeks as well. Google going down, not really a disaster. 9/11... Disaster.
No, just doing updates gets you all the benefits of the point release, as you would expect. If you want a newer kernel, install the hwe kernel when it appears, it will roll until the next LTS and stabilise then in line with 18.04 (it is basically later release kernels built on 16.04).
> You can decide you're not going make an app suite, that doesn't magically re-architect the internals of the product you have.

I'm not sure how that applies. Firefox wasn't magic; Mozilla rewrote their browser intentionally and put a lot of resources into it.

> Firefox started well before Seamonkey was spun out

My understanding of that statement is that they didn't drop the old product until the new one was succeeding in the marketplace. I'm not sure how that impacts what I said.
The account is shadowbanned. So all of its comments are killed off.

Sometimes I see valuable comments from shadowbanned accounts, in which case I click the "vouch" button which brings the comment back to life. This is not one of those times. It's a pointless comment, mainly a joke, not useful or interesting to anyone.

Ubuntu used to add a kernel to the LTS from each subsequent release, but they were separate packages. Now there will be just one HWE package that will roll until the subsequent LTS.
You can look at any situation and pick and choose what facts you want to care about, and that process can be extremely biased and misguiding, even though all the facts will be correct. It's not so cut and dry as facts vs. fiction. If things were that simple the problem would be easily solved.
maybe instead of universal income we can do micro fundings to induviduals if they want to work on something.
Questioning our assumptions and commonly held beliefs (even facts!) should be encouraged as an integral part of intellectual discourse.

I'm saddened by the current state of affairs where increasingly polarized factions feel that taking nuanced (rather than absolutist) positions threatens their positions and gives up ground to the opposition.
Here's an interesting observation.

Distributing information in its written form used to be the domain of the Church. Printing press has democratized that, for a while. Eventually the diversity of information was roped in to serve the agenda of the new, capitalist elites. While individual journalists often thrive to deliver the best work, the editors inevitably arrange things to serve the interests of particular business groups, and those who don't toe the line fall into obscurity for lack of funds.

Now, the Internet has produced a new information diversity, which is bubbling and foaming as we speak. That too will get roped in. The viral effect will become the domain of well-funded teams, not of lone geniuses. As the art is perfected it will become more capital-intensive, we will see consolidation in the business. Eventually the bulk of it will be divided between few large players, well-aligned with other businesses, and the whole thing will become orderly and predictable once again. Maybe.
> once the extensions get comparatively neutered

My impression is that's not an accurate characterization; do anyone know of a serious analysis that supports it? As I said in the GP, there's not much concern with the facts and merits; people (maybe not the parent) just want to act out.
> a matter of selling out to advertisers and being bought by rich individuals or corporations.

Can you expand on that? I see the decline in circulation and eroding of their ad and classified income as the principal culprit. I haven't seen any prominent examples of newspapers where the rich individuals or corporations have caused a decline. The Washington Post was thriving during the 40 years that Buffett had an ownership stake.
I assume they were ranked by views or CTR, which is perfectly normal given the current circumstances.

How else can Google News rank them? Follow some news media objectivity ranking on imgur? Hire tons of unbiased people to verify the integrity of all news before adding them into the index?

I'm not playing devil's advocate here but given an uninformed electorate, some form of authoritative truth by either a independent watchdog or government agency is probably a better idea than letting private companies run the media.

If someone had secretly tested a nuclear weapon in Asia or Russia, is this the sort of evidence we might expect to see?
This is an odd editorial. The author stretches to explain how Zuck's Manifesto released this week could destroy journalism. But then she provides evidence that journalism is for all intents and purposes already dead. She cites a (possibly inflated) prime time news audience size of ~3 million people, and 1.5 million digital subscribers for the NYT...So less than 1% of America are using these previously major sources of news. How did that happen guys?

I'm the last person you will find defending Zuck or Facebook (which I do not use and have deleted other apps as facebook buys them). But this Atlantic article felt like a desperate plea for charity of some sort, and preferably cash since the Chan-Zuckerberg Empire has so much. This is yet another editorial complaining about themselves but the author does not offer an alternative idea for journalism to avoid its own demise. Why and how would she? Journalists don't seem to understand business at all and are scared to try.

In just 3 months since the election, journalists and many people in this country seem to have forgotten how biased, incompetent, clueless, fake and corrupt even the "real" news organizations are today. There was no mea culpa in the article for these issues, just a misguided complaint. The pre-internet old days were not so perfect either if anyone reads history...can anyone explain why newspapers, these supposed bastions of objectivity for communities, even endorse political candidates? Is that a newspapers job?

This whole situation reminds me of another time there was a Harvard guy's looong manifesto that no one had the patience to read in full and it was on a very similar topic...the news industry was running around like a chicken with its head cut off back then too [1].

you could swap to any one of a hundred companies in a few hours. 2 of them I can't even stop hearing about on every single podcast. Again, its about risk mitigation.

You could also try the ketogenic diet, it was developed exactly to mimic the effects of fasting as a treatment for epilepsy. Much of the development happened at the John Hopkins hospital.

It is kind of funny that we even accept non-ecc memory and say that it is perfectly OK that sometimes a 0 written to memory turns to 1. This would be more understandable if we treated the memory as unreliable but in most cases we don't.

> He's once again raising important questions that were ignored before.

Which questions? Criticizing the news media has been a national (and international) sport continuously for a very long time, at least 200 years it seems.

Also, his approach to the issue has long been used by fascists and authoritarians.
I think Craigslist is a US problem. Internationally I think the traditional news approach has had many different challenges. Classified advertising also has had different challenges around the world, such as dedicated publications.
Muscle memory is generally for referring to higher order things like blocking in a fight, swinging a bat, and other fast reactions that get better through practice instead of thought. Eg actions that your brain higher order plans but isn't thought by many to be consciously controlled. In fact when you think about a lot of these things consciously you mess up. Think throwing darts, shooting pool, etc.
I dunno, the mere fact that it makes active thinking not be pointless is probably enough to keep them ticking over as people.
Exactly same things were said about Facebook. Larry and Sergey laughed it off circa 2007 as pointless diversion.

+1 for hierarchical tags. I've been organizing all my bookmarks (about 12K going back more than a decade) with Usenet-style tags like comp.lang.python and sci.bio.paleontology for several years now. It works great, especially since Pinboard lets me autocomplete by tag prefix.

One of the things that I think most services like Gmail missed when they tried to replace folders with tags is that although the same item can belong to multiple categories, the categories themselves usually don't have a completely flat relationship to one another. An article can relate to both Python and paleontology, but that doesn't change the fact that Python is a programming language and paleontology is a subfield of the biological sciences. This will be very useful later when I'm trying to remember something that uses some programming language to analyze data in some subfield of the biological sciences, for example.

Tags look cute on a screenshot when you have a few hundred items. But when you have tens of thousands of items, you need a bit of hierarchy to protect your sanity.
Paypal does it.
It's not about that. Haskell has tools to do all that, and they are better. You can write imperatively in Haskell, you can write strictly or lazily in Haskell, you can have dynamic types in Haskell. There is actually more choice.

However, one (unfortunately) needs to study it to see it. I like Lisp, but curiously enough, it has its limits too.

> the press is now playing the role of 'political opposition'

I strongly disagree. Their job is discover and publish information important to the public and 'speak truth to power'. Trump doesn't like that role, of course, and his administration's high level of corruption, illegality, and incompetence so far has resulted in a lot for the news media to cover.

He can allege that he's unfairly persecuted - people can make empty allegations about anything - but so does every public figure, from every president to business figures to celebrities. The press was just as aggressive with Hillary Clinton (remember the email server scandal, Benghazi, and the continuous reports on the leaked DNC emails; she wouldn't give press conferences in order to avoid the journalists), Obama, Bush, etc.
> Compiler are way more likely to be correct then people who use them.

Yes! This is why I prefer languages with stronger type systems. The more classes of errors a compiler can pick up, the fewer tests I have to spend time writing & maintaining, and I feel so much more confident about running that code in production.

To be clear: ZFS performs a checksum _before_ the data is written to disk. This checksum proves to be highly useful to ZFS when checking whether the data being read back is correct or not.

However, the checksum and the data is also only as good as the memory in which it is stored during computation. Since ZFS takes care of everything else other than memory, you'd use ECC if the data being stored is important enough that you want to ensure that ZFS gets healthy checksums.
Mark does make a lot of sense. Fake News is destroying out community. Instead of only generating catchy headlines to increase viewership why not do somework and discover amazing content to publish.
I feel like what you're saying is: humans have inherent flaws.

Even if it were the case that Mark Zuckerburg was exploiting those flaws for personal benefit, I find it hard to blame him - we live in and support a society that encourages that behavior. If exploiting human flaws for profit is an undesired outcome for human organizations, we should work to stop encouraging that behavior.

I will however provide a counter point to my own argument, which is that we should name and shame those who abuse human nature at society's expense for their own benefit. Otherwise we end up with a society full of people who are actively harming society.

Honestly I don't know what to think. I just wanted to provide both of these views. I'm curious what the response to either views is.
Something is wrong with your pc. I'm running ultra gpu settings constant 70fps at 2560x1440. I've got the same cpu, not overclocked at all, and a 980GTX. I'm also running 4 of those monitors off of the gpu, one with the game, one usually with netflix at the same time and I sit at 20% cpu the whole time.
I agree: journalism has let it's industry fall in to disrepute . It's no surprise that people are so easily convinced to move to new models of information delivery when you look at the current state of news organisations.
I'm not OP but I'm using Windows 7 for playing Steam games which do not work on Linux natively or using Wine. My reasons for avoiding Windows 10, aside from having everything I care about on Windows 7 already, are described well by EFF [1].

None of the games I care to play are DX12 and Windows Store exclusive, so using Windows 7 has worked well so far.

An AMD 40Mhz 80486 was my first build so I also have a soft spot. At the time it was the fatest x86 one could buy. Gees I even remember lusting after the Ati 8514 Ultra, one of the earliest GPU accelerators, clone of IBM's high end workstation standard of the early 90s, as a teenager. Wow I'm getting old.

Conversely, though I admire Intel for its central place in advancing computing itself, I cannot love the company because it has shamelessly monetized its monopoly over the past 7 years or so with vast overpricing on higher end lines. I for one am definitely doing a Ryzen 7 build as soon as I can get a chip, and the same goes for Vega. So happy to see AMD back in the game.
That is why it is important after building/tweaking a system to do stability tests. If it runs full out without errors for 24h then you are fine.
I think it has to do with me being an introvert and not being able to deeply understand or view the world through an extrovert lens.

Having said that when I look around what I see is what appears to be mostly actors. And I think I'm just tired and jaded toward it.

People hide their ulterior motives behind a happy phrases in a way that I almost find offensive. I don't blame them, but I reserve the right to roll my eyes.

It's like how people hide behind "Changing the world for the better!" because "I want to get rich" doesn't sound as nice. Or how "Open friendly environment! Collaboration!" is used to push open offices when more often than not deep down the reasons are not quite the same as they say.

Sometimes I just want the wolrd and the people in it to be a little more real.
