That's an idea that dominated construction in Europe after the war, and it just didn't work very well. See [1] for one of the better examples. There are others, like the french banlieus, with 20-story apartment towers that basically turned to slums.

What works much better, as far as I can tell, is a high-density neighbourhood with park nearby. See [2] for an example from the same city.

>To what extent, then, is fake news culpable?

Definitions first, fake news is not bad headlines, or bad reporting.

Fake news is specifically the creation of websites that look like legitimate news sites, with what look like legitimate articles, in order to generate click and ad revenue.

SO a concrete example is the creation of a site called "Mercury Sun reviewer", with articles talking about how Hillary is about to be indicted.

Its not really news, its fiction presented with a Headline and a byline.

For India, we've not really been dealing with Fake news in this manner, aside from maybe whatsapp forwards and propaganda.

The creation of masses of website just in order to convert people to click bots, doesnt happen. Internet penetration isnt high enough to afford it.

---

So fake news IS an issue, BECAUSE people will believe it without checking. Its a monetization scheme which callously targets politics and power.

The definition has been bent out of shape since it got mainstream.

I think for the HN crowd, this definition should work and stick

And I think I know those forums.
> Strong Scientism: Of all the knowledge we have, scientific knowledge is the only “real knowledge.”

Stupid question. What is an example of a hypothesis that is not falsifiable by experiment but should still be considered "knowledge"?
It also facilitates having a side business in anonymous tips.
Unfortunately, not everyone can ride a motorcycle or lives where the other motorists are friendly (or at least not-hostile) to motorcyclists. Many also consider it beyond their tolerance for risk.

I am really lucky to live where people are happy to accommodate motorcycles (cars make room for motorcycles to split lanes when we have slow moving traffic) and I use one to commute to work everyday. I do sincerely wish more people could share in the joy of riding a motorcycle :-)

However, I am aware that there are places where people are hostile to motorcycles. I just hope that some day things get better.
The ISPs will be selling Web sessions, identified by cookies. The traffic from pyNoise does not mix with the browser session and will appear separate.

It appears it might be better to enable private browsing (aka incognito mode) in order to make your browsing session as short (and unidentifiable) as possible.
I want to start writing something that would have been on the original atari to begin with, just have to look like that style. and keep moving up a generation in terms of gameplay.
My basic rule of thumb is to only use floats at the presentation layer, for storage, or for measurements. If you're doing any serious calculations you need to normalise to a more reliable format first.

> There are many, many more embarrassing mistakes to discuss. I discovered another "creative" method to avoid globals. For some time I was obsessed with closures.

Dear God, I feel like I'm having my game dev life read back to me...
Ground level storefront shopping has died a quick death, but I have often seen them converted to offices for small business/freelance/remoting and the outcome is nearly as good. They do not increase walkability much (that should be taken care of by a corner supermarket, a parcel receiving machine and public transport), but it works surprisingly well to keep the "abandoned city" vibe away that haunts purely residential areas during working hours.
They didn't pay "a bonus to clean up the PR" though. They eventually agreed to pay the £6400 costs the host had documented, and not a penny more.
Does anyone use the pool? Does anyone use the gym with one treadmill and some random circuit machines? Honestly.

If you lived in a city you could go to a gym run by someone who cares instead of something contributed by the original developer that will never be maintained.
You could parachute it assuming it survives reentry, which is the first hard problem. The second problem is that chutes have to be replaced and are very tricky to install to work reliably. Plus they're another component.
Second stage being lighter helps with parachuting it down.
Also have to calculate if the extra weight of the chute makes it economical still.
I can probably help you to understand this, at least in Indiana.

A good portion of trailers in parks are owned by the resident. They simply pay lot rent, which is usually around 1/3 of the price of rent. The folks that rent usually find the place is often larger, cleaner, and/or more private (in the form of physical space between neighbors) for a similar price. Additionally, it is easier to find in a rural location.

The sorts of places you speak of are often unaffordable to a lot of folks as they tend to be newer and in cities. Most do have green space, but few shops and few parks.

My understanding is that the squat buildings are cheaper to build partially because it is simpler to follow the building codes: Higher buildings have more codes due to fire safety and such things. This is the main reason most apartment buildings in Indiana are only 2-3 stories. They also fit in a medium sized college town of 50-100k people.
For future reference i bookmarked this website !
It's not so much actually. If you think recruiting is easy money, you are wrong.

I've been running a browser-based MMORPG for a couple of years and when I started out I was a total novice in Node.js. I didn't even know how modules worked so the back end was just one big file. Needless to say, the code is a complete mess and the refactoring has made it even worse since I've started to implement some patterns just to regret it.

I'm thinking of making the whole game open source but I'm so ashamed of the codebase that I don't want anyone to see it. It's a dilemma since I think the game has potential as an open source project. It's inspired by Ultima Online, Minecraft and Reign of Kings but with a lot of constraints making it easy to implement new features. It also has quite a few dedicated players.
Oh sh*t I'm just remembering now a problem some people had with lock files. I thought it was fixed [0].

In that thread someone said deleting .config/com.ubuntu.telegram/<number>/auth.lock solved the problem with Telegram not starting [1].

So look for .lock file/s and delete it/them.

I still love Debian way more than Ubuntu, but I think they're doing a great work with Touch.

The m4 macros (autoreconf) and ./configure is too slow when it can be not. Of course './configure -C' may speed up running it a bit. Still not fast enough.

I really feel a need for something like AC_TRUST_HOST or AC_TRUST_DISTRO or something like that would not check for each header or each function in some library. Instead it will check the version of GCC, libc, and compile some (hopefully just one) program and test.

Of course the common tests shall be skipped only in popular distributions. Say, Debian, Arch, Fedora (and their derivatives), to name a few.

The author writes:

"Discursively, this frame is used to highlight every form of problematic content, including both blatantly and accidentally inaccurate information, salacious and fear-mongering headlines, hateful and incendiary rhetoric produced in blogs, and propaganda of all stripes (driven by both the State and other interests)."

Did you read all the different types and make a mental note of which news you recently heard falls under which category? Probably not, because we are cognitive misers.

Sometimes, the underlying issue is that humans simply do not have the capacity to sift through so much noise to get to the heart of the matter. To proof yourself against fake news will involve so much thinking that it will become a full time job.

People really like to "sort and label", as a famous economist put it. It conserves our mental energy and can even be very helpful for economic and social progress. The sorting and labeling is going to be personalized to their upbringing and cultural norms, with a strong affinity towards news, fake or not, which agrees with such an upbringing.

Fake news could just be an unintended side effect of the increase in opportunities to consume (information) and communicate, because humans won't go from cognitive misers to cognitive spendthrifts ever. And who wants less opportunity to consume and communicate?

And certainly, stop asking Google and Facebook to make fake news disappear. This is like requesting burglars to make sure they bolt the door after they are done with their burglary so that other people don't vandalize what is left of the shop.
So, according to this definition, standard news sites are incapable of ever producing fake news since their website also serve as legitimate news site?

That does little more then raising the costs of implementing manipulative falsehoods by making the traditional news a gatekeeper.
Woah, figures 7 and 8 blew my mind. This reminds me of the various Pinterest boards I've curated in the past. I would set a theme and try to collect visual items in that theme.

Sometimes I could not describe the theme in mind clearly, for example "foresty-earthy suburban adolescent feelings with little-to-no ruggedness but with a bit of a punk edge". Of course, no single image could fulfill the entirety of that theme (probably), so it's fascinating to wonder how aesthetic preferences emerge in the mind, though it's possible that with a description like that another person could filter images to match that description.

Are we combining various specific preferences (the color green, for example), or are we driven by the emotional flavor of a whole aesthetic object (a haze-covered mountain range evoking nostalgia for childhood hikes with siblings leading to the specific preference for pine trees leading to the specific preference for the color green, etc), basically top-down, bottom-up or a combo? Just some thoughts...
We can always launch more rockets the other way.
I don't see how anyone can be hired "straight after college" unless they come straight to Google or Goldman Sachs who can afford _extensive_ training programs.

College education these days looks more like a luxury good, not a job prerequisite. It is of more value if you want to do research or work on bleeding edge fields like advanced artificial intelligence or biotech, but if you just want to be a decent software engineer, it doesn't make economic sense anymore, in my opinion.

(Disclosure: worked 10 years in the industry before finally getting my degree — because I wanted to move to R&D).
DNS and Certificates are the key:

You should remove all CA certificates installed by software that show like it were "installed by you".

Some AV software does MITM sending you a "trusted" certificate signed by their own CA whilst acting as a proxy between the actual site and the AV.

Theoretically anybody could do the same on the network side transparently.

Also if you don't trust your ISP, you shouldn't use their DNS servers. I don't know about commercial integration between DHCP and DNS requests to track people but it is feasible with some work.

For DNS just grab a raspberry pi and setup a dns resolver. You only need the right root zone seed file. Just don't make it available to the whole internet.
"we kind of laughed at it"

The lazy traditional mass media thinks it can just ignore any nefarious angle or pretend that it doesn't exist and that it cannot exist.
The best example is the Sandy Hook conspiracy. I have no stake in this game, but I'm as interested as anybody to hear both sides and it turns out that CNN will not ever provide the other side of the story while infowars will. It's that easy: Infowars does its actual journalistic job and questions everything.
That's what CNN is supposed to be doing. That's what the are all supposed to be doing as journalists, you should be JUMPING at the option of Sandy Hook being a false flag.
If it isnt, that's even better. But I want to hear all angles about it. There is no value in being blindly trusting of the government. I'm not an american but I'm pretty sure that one core value is to distrust the government, to be ready for it to turn evil.
I listen to Alex Jones for many hours every week and he is definitely hyperbolic (which can be funny and this is often the goal -partly) and he sometimes gets things wrong too. But he provides much more value than reading the equivalent of a machine generated press release on CNN.com.
One mistake you're still making: cross platform. I'd love to try out Lemma on Linux :)
C is the Lingua Franca, all other languages can easily link to it. It is the most portable language, doesn't introduce hidden runtime overhead, and it is a very simple language. As long as CPUs are around, C will be around too (whether this will also be true for C++ is quite another question).
Ok, I understand and I reckon (Note that I belong to the people who can't afford a property, btw, but I've lived in a few cities in the world).

What you describe doesn't sound like a bubble to me: It's not something that blows then bursts. That's just that foreigners are richer than locals.
Nice article, although i'm more interested in the technic they used to have the swift code interact with the android sdk. Are they communicating through JNI to invoke the native android sdk, and if so how ?
use a provider if you can integrate in a day or two, then later think of rolling your own if you anticipate any issues. you could find a provider that might be interested in writing certain features for you or has a decent enough api for you to extend.

I say go for it - everybody learns something about good and bad code design when more code becomes available, and despite what you may think of it, there's still stuff to learn, especially form larger code bases.
Your own inner voice will tell you when you are being unethical and when you are merely benefitting from your experience or knowledge. Being unethical is not a grey area - almost everyone has an internal compass which can tell themselves in black or white (people know when they are self-justifying).

I would argue that you don't every need to cheat your own self to be successful.
Right, like making them contractually promise to stop talking about it, in exchange for mutually agreed compensation.

As i understand it, Freedom of speech is not violated; you're still free to speak about it without going to government hunting you down. You're just breaking a contract you willingly signed, and have to deal with the ramifications of doing so.

Poland had a recession very recently: Q4 2012 and Q1 2013 both had GDP falling down.

Thing is, initially government published inaccurate data, showing no recession, but then, 3 years later they revised that data, showing we actually had recession.

I don't necessarily disagree with everything the parent wrote, nor did I downvote, but maybe "I don't think social science is a real science" is not the greatest starting point for making a genuinely social point.

Most people going into software jobs aren't doing a lot of actual development. I've seen people who aren't techy at all and know nothing about code do a 1 year masters and go into a well paid software dev job at very large companies on a decent salary. The only experience they have is maybe 6 months doing a bit of Java. But at the end of the day they're dealing more with bureaucracy than code and bug fixing of already established systems meaning they don't really need knowledge on good architecture and practices.

Agree completely, I've been saying this for a while now but the knee jerk reaction is to get labelled racist.

I think Labor are just as beholden to the wealthy though. And can you imagine the Murdoch rags if it did cause a recession?

The big question now is "does anyone, particularly those under 40, care if there's a recession?". I think a growing number of people are hoping for one.
>Put enough people in proximity and you'll create that downtown.

I will be a fossil before this ever happens in Mountain View.

I used to live in a garden-style apartment within walking distance of downtown Mountain View. It was an old building, and my rent was $1900. That was considered affordable for Mountain View, but no amount of savings could ever persuade me to move back to there. Like someone stated above, there were no amenities - no in-unit washer/dryer, no updated appliances, etc. The walls were horribly thin, and none of the cabinets or drawers closed properly.

So, I'm now living in a newly-built, sterile mid-rise 12 miles away in downtown SJ. I would have loved to stay in Mountain View and keep my short commute, but there is still not enough density to bring prices down for the nicer buildings. The newer construction on El Camino are going for $3k for a 1-bedroom (and this, when the market is supposed to be cooling off). There was talk of another building going up on Shoreline, but of course the NIMBY crowd shot it down fast.
While this may seem like an obvious observation, I have yet to see a cloud storage service that does it as well as Dropbox. And that includes attempts by huge companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Apple.
IIRC there was a project to swap tracking cookies with random strangers to mess up with all kinds of analytics.
Reporting is about facts. Reporters should question, based on factual evidence. Conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones start with the conclusion and then try to find ways to bend news stories into it, ignoring things that don't fit.
The same goes for me - I can say I learned English by reading tons of documentation and tutorials over the years. And because of strange out-of-the-world translation I also set the language of all my systems to English. If I ever get a problem, I have the right words to google for right in front of me and can profit from a far larger pool of solutions.
Whatever we need to take for granted in order for a scientific experiment to mean anything at all. Most of mathematics and logic would fall into this category: we can't falsify 1 + 1 = 2 by experiment, but if we throw it out, we won't have any science at all.

A lot of people believe that fundamental principles of ethics also belong there. For example, we may be able to demonstrate whether or not something is a net benefit to the combined happiness of sentient beings, but I cannot see how one might even attempt to falsify the hypothesis that sentient beings matter at all.

1+1=2 is falsifiable as it relates to an experiment. You could show that in an experiment that when you "add" a "one" and another "one" together you do not get "two".

If it doesn't aid in understanding the world then I'm not sure it qualifies as knowledge.
No, a legitimate new site can also fall for the temptation to fabricate news in order to raise revenue or political favor (and for the person in charge, get a promotion/raise). The definition of fake news include intent, and the knowledge that the information is false. If you take away either of those two parts you don't get fake news.
