News organisations are finding that if your product has too little value that you have to support it with advertising instead of selling it directly then your business will fail as soon as someone figures out a better way of delivering adverts.

In the future I suspect Facebook and Google will have the exact same problem.
Whenever this happens to me (usually because I'm on a VPN), Google will block my email client from accessing my account until I log into their website and answer a security question. Before, I obviously can't delete the warning. Additionally, the email is also sent to my other address. It's not that easy for an attacker to log in without me noticing. The false positives are annoying, though.
Ah, a very seasoned bash profile. Thanks for sharing.
>it's the fact that half this country does not care for fact vs fiction.

Sometimes is not that simple. A lot of this is related to personal biases and just the way the brain works. Ofcourse people can try to train theirselves into being more skeptic but in a world in which every day you are bombarded with information is pretty hard to find the time and motivation to do so.

How Norway Avoided Becoming a Fascist State
Windows 7 has less than 3 years of life left on it before Microsoft stops doing security patches. At that point the OS's vulnerabilities will never be patched, and no one will be able to maintain it, akin to XP, and in April we'll see Vista join XP in being unsupported.

If you want a platform you can ride ad infinium, Microsoft is the wrong boat to be in. We're using OrangePi boards for everything, since you can build Debian for them with a fully libre stack and no closed firmware.
Give them some benefit of the doubt. Not saying it's the case, but phones and auto-correct can do the most amazing things.
Not a CPU expert here, but isn't this a comparison of AMD next gen to Intel current gen? Won't Intel have a new CPU out, too, when the Ryzen is actually released?
The math does not add up.

40 grams of sugar does not have enough calories for you to gain 3 kilograms in 12 days, or 8.5 kilograms in 21 days.

Moreover, if he ate as much as the average American eats, how is it that the average American has not experienced what he has? The guy almost gained 1 pound a day.
Among other things, you are missing a point. There are mainstream users, and there are tech savy users. You can repair your device, but a regular user who doesn't know about how electronics work is likely to send their device to a repair center with lowest cost.

Which means hackers could advertise cheap repairs, in exchange for placing malware hardware/software on user device.

I like to see the hardware opensource, as it is immensely valuable, but apple does have a point.
Nor your boots! :-)
What is the stayfocusd.json for? It looks like it's for blocking certain sites but how does it work?
At the moment Windows 7 is number one desktop/notebook OS, it dwarfs all other operating systems (all other Windows versions incl Win8 & Win10, macOS and Linux combined)!

Win7 is superb, looks nice and works rock solid and is supported until 2020 or beyond (see XP). And then in 2020s Fuchsia/Android, or what ever OS is available and make sense for end consumer needs. (Of course *nix driver support is important too, AMD knows that)
Who is finding these quotes for him?
Yup, the mainstream media is dying because of facebook. Very fascinating. Let's see who else they can blame.
Haven't you noticed how the word "facebook" replaced "the internet/online" in many contexts ? It was a part of marketing facebook to the masses.

Then again the decline of journalism is not a matter of internet as much than a matter of selling out to advertisers and being bought by rich individuals or corporations. With internet access becoming popular it provided an alternative to the traditional media to get news and information.
I think the real threat to journalism is the fact that news outlets have decided to "cater" to a certain section of the population. I don't think Facebook started or is to blame for the demise of journalism, but outlets like Fox show deep systemic problems in the world of journalism.
Why Is Freedom of Speech Important?
The symptoms of memory corruption are much more varied (and can be much more stubtle) than BSODs. For example they can cause filesystem corruption, any random app crashes (SIGSEGV...), infinite loops, etc.
Trump attacks the press (and people) that question him, and praises the press (or people) that supports him. That's it. He doesn't care about the truth. Just that people say good things about him.

He is by no means a moral voice in this cause, he's a part of the problem: he lies consistently, and when he's taken to task, he just screams 'liar' or bullies people - instead of explaining, justifying.

Yes - the press is definitely biased, but most of what the MSM publishes is essentially true.

But it's a problem because the press is now playing the role of 'political opposition' - because there doesn't seem to be anyone else doing it. This is not fair, because instead of playing 'against Trump' they should be being more objective. But they really hate Trump, and can't but help themselves play hardball back against him (and I don't mean 'doing more of a better job, I mean cheating a bit with the bias). And the press is definitely hurting their credibility in that way.

The paradox is, that it is very easy to read any of the MSM headlines and easily find anti-Trump bias - which lends credence to Trump supporters acceptance of his 'anti press' rants.

Example: Trump's orders on immigration were pretty hardcore. Possibly illegal. Instead of explaining it, and highlighting concerns - the press mostly lambasted it, and created a sense of 'national fury'. Buried away were the polls that showed more Americans supported the action, than were against it.

This demonstrates the paradox because although the press were 'truthful' in their response to Trump's policy - they were also somewhat biased, which is a form of misrepresentation - and were also creating the idea that 'America was outraged' when really it wasn't so clear. The press was not allowing for nuance ... they were playing the role of 'vocal opposition'. Which isn't quite their job.

But more to the point of the article: 'the press' was never considered truthful at all, not up until the modern era and Television, when at least the notion of 'truth' and 'impartiality' was supposed to be observed.

In the 19th century, Newspapers existed as businesses only, and to push the propaganda and flame-wars of their owners. Obviously this exists today, but not quite as much. It's between the lines, and in the bias.
Facebook should not a lone scapegoat

Crowd-sourcing news quality does not work. There's no ground truth.

Google News is suffering from this. I noted on Wikipedia today, in a discussion of reliable sources, that I had searched for info about a Wikipedia topic with Google news search, with terrible results. The top three results were Algemeiner (Jewish), Breitbart News (alt-right), and Mondoweiss ("progressive and anti-Zionist"). This is pathetic.
This. If you dont want apple device, compile aosp from head, or use cyanogenmod or something.
Intel's new CPUs tend to be 5% faster at the same price so Ryzen should be competitive with Skylake-X.
Oh Jeff, you'll never be employable with your shitty skills.
I live in Ireland, in the EU, and I'm fairly sure all the eggs in supermarkets here are washed. There's never a spot of dirt on them. And we always refrigerate, as does everyone I know
Ryzen is not "next gen" anymore. It will be released in less than two weeks. Not enough time for Intel to come up with anything groundbreaking.
Trusting apple or other big guys are already hard. The reason is all these companies are bound by law. They get subpoenad all the time.

A more secure etc way could be if they made it impossible for themselves to read your data.
Possibly the 'sources' of information are 'all over the internet' - but the medium of virality is FB.
Some are. Some aren't.

I create hobby-projects for fun, I have two (I think?) that I charge money for. They'll never be "real" companies, but they cover their costs which is all I wanted.

I see broad trends on sites like this, for example you can pretty much pinpoint the moment that every other Show HN started adding "Deep Learning" to their submissions. That kind of herd-mentality is pretty depressing, but also fascinating to watch in action.

Startups as a meta-topic are fascinating, although again I have that same feeling of depression and sadness when I read "Growth hacking" tips that basically boil down to fancier ways to spam and mislead, but I appreciate reading about real people and real-projects. The posts that start out "I posted on my blog, which has 50 million readers, and suddenly I was profitable" are pretty unrealistic.

Simple projects that have slowly become more and more popular, like the guy who is frequently talking about his webcounters, are a breathe of fresh air from the hype.

I'm sure I could code a web-counter. I'm sure that it'd never become super-popular, because long-tail counts for a lot. Then again I do have a few readers of my blog ..
I was weird out by some of those figure too. I thought Ryzen floating point units were smaller than intel so how come its so better in the floating point benchmark. The SSE performance being so out there compared to anyone also looks very interesting.

It could be the benchmarks are very focused on some particular kind of operation where Ryzen is very suited/unsuited for. Definitely need real app and more sophisticated benchmark. It looks to be a good processor probably miles ahead of Bulldozer in many department but what in terms of current gen intel in popular workload has to wait for March 2nd.
Those three are probably more reliably accurate than Atlantic, NYTimes, WaPo and the other old properties that have distinguished themselves only with lies and credulity in this century.

Breitbart is now the third most read news source in America, so things are looking up.

If those benchmarks make use of AVX, that could be another explanation. Even without those instructions, Zen has less-powerfull FP units than Skylake. One advantage Zen might have is in mixed codes, since it has 10-issue segmented into 6 int and 4 float, while Skylake is 8-issue mixed between int and float.
I thought bored journalists who did binge or denial experiments on themselves went out of style in 2015. Please don't come back.
Pseudalopex pretty much nailed it; Google has strongly resisted adding sidebar APIs to Chrome, or allowing add-ons to hide / relocate the tab bar. Those are two of the major reasons why it's difficult to build a quality Tree Style Tabs add-on for Chrome. Firefox will explicitly include APIs that allow that, which should be landing soon.

Most of these changes and their timelines are motivated by fundamental architectural work happening deep down in Firefox. We're doing the best we can to get as many add-on APIs in place before 57, but for heavy add-on users, it has the potential to be a rough transition.

For deeper meddling in the browser, and for APIs that don't yet exist, WebExtension Experiments (https://webextensions-experiments.readthedocs.io/en/latest/i...) should provide a reasonable option. Basically, you can keep using old-style "bootstrapped" add-ons in DevEdition and Nightly. Kind of an explicit way to opt-out of API stability guarantess so we can continue refactoring the browser core. Experiments are intended for prototyping new WebExtension APIs for eventual inclusion into mainline Firefox, but you could also use them for power-user APIs, so long as you don't mind the maintenance burden.

Most OS provide a mechanism to manage SSL certificates and a OS provided SSL library, sure not every application uses that but then how is a new standard going to fix that?

The only thing providing it in the kernel would do would do is decrease performance and require kernel updates to fix SSL vulnerabilities.
This differs between Europe countries, in ex-Yugoslavia (Serbia, Croatia, etc.) eggs are not washed, but we also usually keep them refrigerated.
Weird. I can't seem to find the CS Monitor any more, whereas my health section gets flooded by marijuana news from what appear to be advocacy sites.
We started with DO as a way to prototype quickly and ended up running a large scale telecom service on it. Doesn't get you much "in the box", but you have no lock-in either; works well enough and it's nice to use.
At work I use an app called Timesnapper. It takes a screengrab every second. Great for time sheet filling and ad hoc documentation of tasks.
I hear you. I want more facts, less opinion, and a good list of verifiable sources out of my news. Suffice it to say, there's precious little of that to be found anywhere.
Try not to forget it often takes energy to recycle things, and what do we do with a huge surplus of Lithium when its no longer required, we don't exactly have free energy either.

But hey, let's not get that get in the way of a great response, right?
You get to choose what you care about, but you don't get to chose whether it is right to to care about it. You are free to have whatever opinion you want, but you don't get to choose whether those opinions are correct. This matters practically because the "tribunal of facts" stabilizes collective action: when responsive to it, people can count on certain strategies to solve problems. If you cease to care about what is fact, your strategies will inevitably get out of step with everyone else's. This is only sustainable until the facts force themselves on you.

Constraining your freedom doesn't mean you cease to be free, but it allows others to flourish just as you do. A free society ("a free people", as you say) should allow everyone to flourish as much as they care to (but no less). Collective freedom is not just the sum of individual freedoms. It is the result of cooperation.
You can, and should, have your own opinions.

Does that extend to facts?
Whenever I buy eggs from the store I refrigerate them. My chickens and ducks however I don't bother with. Eggs don't last long around my house, have a few labradors who I feed a home cooked diet in which eggs are a daily item.

I think the washing/not washing discussion is interesting. It really highlights a difference in food approaches between the US and EU. One of the things that really annoys me about the US is the raw milk stuff. I live in PA so I can get raw milk pretty easily; live a mile from a raw milk farm that's been in business since 1840 or something. This farm has a good track record, some others don't. I remember in Mike Pollan's Netflix's documentary series the part about the cheese nun and the FDA. The FDA individual simply stated that in France the practices are much more rigorous than the US. Why can't we develop a system that allows raw milk from farmers who follow similar procedures? Why can I still not buy raw milk cheese under so many days old directly from France? The ban probably angers me more than anything since I'm really big into cheese and raw milk cheese from France tastes better than pasteurized stuff. Raw milk itself I'm content with since I get it from the farm nearby. It's what I grew up on, whenever I have milk from other sources the differences are night and day. The differences in food approaches is interesting.. and really shows how far the US has gone off track. Not to mention the damn ban on tonka beans.
Ignoring confounding variables, and a sample size of one caused me to discount this "study". While I'm sure sugar consumption is an issue, this escapade seems like more of a capitalist venture than anything else.
Free Speech is important.

Germany has it. The Netherlands have it. Australia has it. Estonia has it. Brazil has it. Many countries in the world have it.

What Americans defenders of Free Speech never seem to grasp is that their variant of Free Speech is only the most extreme one on a whole spectrum of "Free Speeches", and that their variant does not really deliver more benefits than the (ImO) more sensible variants. I would argue the extremist position is -- as usually -- inferior to the nuanced, balanced ones.

> What's the usecase when it can be beneficial to have expensive ECC RAM instead of the ordinary one?

Anyone using ZFS will (or should!) care about ECC support. [0]

Lots of people build their own NAS/SAN boxes, so ECC support on a desktop CPU at a reasonable price point would be very appreciated. Currently you need to buy specific model CPUs (Celeron or Xeon, IIRC) to get ECC support from Intel. [1]

Ryzen becomes current gen in 11 days (March 2nd release.)

Intel would need to update their "current gen" (Skylake, Kaby Lake) CPUs with 8-core models to be competitive but for some reason Skylake and Kaby Lake have been stuck with a max of 4 cores... which is why these benchmarks are compared to an 8 core Broadwell.

How do we guarantee high availability/fail over on this one in case we need it ? I am guessing we have to make sure multiple servers like this should be bought and implement our own fail over.Also what is your experience with tech support ?
Incredible read.

Off topic: With all due respect, may I ask why HeavenBanned's seemingly innocuous comment was killed off?
Such a discussion makes no sense. You will see plenty of web pages where people bashing at Go, like they are bashing at Scala, Java, Ruby, C++, and all the other languages.

I'm using the computer for over 30 years, writing in different languages, and I'm happy with Go, even it has his shortcomings here and there.

If I have to write some loop which talks a certain protocol over a network (servers) Go is my first choice.

The Internet is a funny thing, You will find a bunch of arguments that eggs are healthy and that they are not.

Similar with programming languages.

Perhaps I'm just reading too much into the phrase "deeper issues" but I think you're reading too much into the whole "nightmare" phrasing.

I don't think it's so much of an issue of feeling left out as it is feeling pressured to suffer through it with a smile on your face.

Being visibly unhappy or disinterested while you are there usually brings additional pressure to engage. Leaving early invites later questions that require you to lie to be socially acceptable. And if the events are frequent enough it'll be obvious you are lying sooner rather than later.

And then add in considerations about what those above you in the company will think.

It's enough that I do have similar responses to such things. And it's also true that it's probably a somewhat too extreme of a response. Thinking about it is usually worse than actually being there, as it's usually possible to end up off in a corner with one or two other like-minded people which is mostly tolerable.

Although as things get more structured this gets harder, and the structure is usually accompanied by even more "optimistic language" so... again, the response seems fairly justified without invoking a need for "deep issues."
The "mainstream" market doesn't buy 7700K's. The "mainstream" market doesn't even know what hyper-threading is.

People will see two identical laptops, one with the 2-core Intel i3, and one with the 4-core Ryzen, with similar clock speeds and similar prices. The Ryzen model might even give the illusion that it comes with an AMD graphics card even though it's integrated. That's all that matters.
Most people in this country are idiots, and celebrate idiocy. People in Asia/Europe still read newspapers and news is still news, not sensationalist media garbage like here with barely any mention of the rest of the world.

It's a huge part of why my wife, I, and our family left California. When a small box built in the 1980s goes for $600K you know something's wrong. We miss the San Diego weather, but now we have money to spend and save. And we'll be able to buy a nice house in the next 2-3 years.
What is destroying journalism is also relying too much on news sources like AP, Reuters, etc. Let's call it copy&paste news articles. They should do their homework and investigate on their own, that's their job description after all. We don't need these cheap media that just reprint propaganda-style sponsored stories.
Maybe phrasing it another way could be useful: with or without Facebook, the journalism industry would be heavily declining.

Yes, Facebook is how many people use the Internet - but it's a mistake to therefore conclude Facebook is responsible for journalism's decline.
