This sounds very useful, and I can think of at least one claim I would very much like Google to fact check. It involves an alleged difference in the distribution of personality rates between men and women.
There are things that are false that everyone believes and things that are true that nobody believes...

Google's algorithns weren't designed to tell the truth, only to tell what's popular.
Maybe the Google reference was wrong; at least, Wikipedia says his ashes were scattered: "In accordance with his wishes, his body was cremated, and the ashes were scattered in front of various nightclubs he played in New York City and over Spofford Lake, in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, where he attended summer camp as an adolescent."
Unix is my IDE
Moderation is the important thing here. It's easier to avoid consuming drugs every day compared to eating a high fructose diet.
Back when I was a kid we called this "industrial arts".
The only winning strategy is skepticism of all claims.

The idea that computers will help discern absolute truth in matters that mostly are based on opinions and prejudice is pitiable and arrogant.
Earth likely had some water during early creation (accretion) but the best theory on how the Moon formed is that a Mars sized object hit the early Earth at the end of accretion. This blasted much of the Earth's rock part (mantle) and any water it might have had into orbit. The rock part quickly fell back to Earth and the rest condensed and collapsed to form the moon. The water and other volatilizes that were on Earth were blown away by the solar wind at that time. The surface of the Earth and Moon would have been boiling lava at this point and had to accumulate water from new impacts of comets and icy asteroids.

The water on Earth may seem to be a lot to us on the surface but it is only about 0.02% by mass [1].

I understand they are using local prices. Local prices dont matter when you are comparing a day's wage though. That's how much money you earn in one day regardless of the number attached to it. If the amount of food you need in a day costs more than you can earn in a day I would assume this would quickly lead to starvation. I know about the civil war and deaths due to violence, I was curious if there was starvation happening as well
That, and it's a lot easier to shut off 90% of your engines and land at 50% thrust than it is to design an engine that will run at 5% thrust.

Oh, and if your engine is small enough, you can also use the same design on your upper stages - otherwise you need to design two engines.

Also, it may be worth pointing out that the current planned thrust for the Raptor is ~1,700kN at sea level, while the BE-4 is ~2,450 kN. They aren't actually that different - it's just BFR is massive.
That's how he made his money, with GEICO. And there's so much that can be done with the "float".
There isn't a space launch company on the planet who can launch anywhere near the cost of SpaceX and make a profit. That's without counting re-usablity, mind you. With re-usablity SpaceX should be able to slash prices by at least 50%, though they shouldn't until the market forces them to. Instead they should be re-investing those profits into Raptor and the BFR.
Why would you use Rust over JS for front end work though?
Wouldn't a collapsed tube be very distinctive visually?
Both sucrose and HFSC must make it to the small intestine to be metabolized, the only difference is the chemical bond is broken by sucrase in the intestinal wall. Both are metabolized quickly and into the same components in the bloodstream.

I am still not seeing the difference?

edit

Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by "unbound" I thought you where referring to the chemical bond in sucrose, vs being bound up physically with fiber in fruit.
This is an interesting idea that seems like a good attempt in informing others .

But the big issue people don’t believe facts whether they are presented with information that refutes it. They believe facts because it aligns with their ideology.
Hope they don't find a labyrinth in there.
Estonia and its people are culturally the most similar to Finland - in fact none of the baltic countries are slavic - and all speak exceptional English (better than Western Europe). They are very pro-EU countries whom have benefitted greatly economically and 'defensively' (vs Russia, at least in terms of peace of mind). What will continue to limit Russia are its authoritarian attitudes towards information and trade.
i wonder what's today's equivalent to this pionnering technologies...

biotech gene editing ? quantum computers ? artificial intelligence ? Cars ?

Is there someone somewhere discovering the ubiquitous usage of the next decades ? Does computer science still has the potential to bring the same kind of world-changing tools ?

Here's something i'd like to ask AlanKay : at that time, you probably had the feeling that you were working on groundbreaking technologies, but what were the magazines saying ? I'm pretty sure some people were thinking that computers were going to play a role, but was this obvious to everyone ? Did people hesitate between funding CS and, say, flying cars ?
Our story is similar, though we've chosen other employer-reasonable locations. Netherlands was moderately bad (better than France, though); Switzerland is reasonable.
Should point out that introvert/extrovert are made up terms, and humans don't fit nicely under one label or the other.
Very much so -- and one has even been explored by humans!

Yes survivor bias. But since these survived, they are likely to be structurally sound. Like antique furniture or structures on Earth.
If you approach it with the attitude that the condition determines the person, then I suppose, yes, that's true.

But that's a pretty miserable attitude to approach it with. It's much better to keep an open mind to the possibilities of life - although its the hope that kills you. I mean - if you have to think about such things, it's most accurate to say that that's the definition of having been an introvert.

Anecdotally, inside every introvert is a squeaking, flamboyant self, desiring to be its opposite. If you desire it, you've got to (kind of) already be essentially interwoven with it.
Industrial sugar contains no fiber vs. the fiber in many fruits complementing the fructose and ameliorating potentially harmful effects meanwhile slowing digestion [1]. My guess is this leads to a more sustained energy boost and relatively mild to nonexistent crash depending on how well your body reacts to carbohydrates.

One may need to be somewhat more moderate with dates as they contain little fiber to sugar content - hinting at the importance of varying your fruit diet.

I just got a quote (Model X, California) that is 42% higher than my current monthly premium through USAA :-/.
It's not moving in the other direction. In fact there's a clear political consensus among the parties (probably) making up the next government that "digitization" should be one of the main foci of attention going forward. Particularly the liberal parties of course (Greens, FDP), but the CDU seem to also fancy this newfangled internet-thingy. Fifteen years late, but moving in the right direction.

I have the feeling this is generally true in the other conservative parts of the EU as well. Eyes are very much on Estonia in the EU for this reason. It's all very sluggish, but the wheels are starting to turn, I think.
Very cool. Here's more details if you want a deeper dive than what the original article had: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._coli_long-term_evolution_...
We surely would. But the gains may be more (or less) than you think.

I remember a gerontologist showing some math where if you prevented all heart disease you'd only gain about 4 years of human lifespan (since most of those people would soon get cancer); similarly if you prevented all cancer you'd only get about 4 years as well (since most of those people would get heart disease).

But if you prevented both, you'd get something north of 10 years of average lifespan.
>Online marketers are aware of fraud. The common wisdom is to assume ~30% of your budget went into fraud.

Common wisdom does not account for that some cash cow keyword/adnet combination you can approach to 90% of traffic coming from bots, or conversions being near nil even without clickfraud being involved, or for ad nets having interest to actually go soft on clickfraud.

Whenever I worked in media agencies, I do see people running digital ads for major brands (coke, nike, li ning, microsoft level) being at least moderately competent in technicalities, yet I can't say that any of them ever approached to even partial understanding of what a total "Wild West" is the online ads industry today.

'senior' is also purposefully being used to make a position more desirable, by sounding better. People like showing off and tend to agree to a lower salary that way.
Depending on the volume of surface ice (especially at the poles), might it be possible to produce atmosphere on a massive scale via orbital lenses or mirrors? With recent advances in solar sail technology, I can't imagine the implementation would be too far removed from current capabilities.
Not exactly rust, but there's benefits to running the same language both on the front and back end. You could reuse template systems and validation logic for example.
Otherwise known as "common sense". If this in an engine to promote common sense then we're just digging ourselves a bigger hole.
That was attributed to returning veterans from Vietnam being hooked on opiates and creating a massive market, also the baby boomer generation coming off of "free love" didn't help the problem.

It's generally understood for both that epidemic and the current how the problem arose, in part this understanding was achieved through interviews with addicts.

Going back to the original morphine epidemic in the 19th/20th century it parallels closely the current Purdue/OxyContin epidemic lending further evidence to the driver being OxyContin.

Do you really think that OxyContin is not a driver and only correlated? If so, what is driving the ever-increasing opiate usage?
Does that count as natural selection?
> Why is real fruit not a problem but HFCS is?

Fruit has loads of fiber, although less than what our ancestors gathered, and in less quantity. Fiber is what produces satiety. For the same reason fruit juice is not good for you.
"you can stay like this for how long as you want" <- That is a very marginal opinion. It's not really, in any broad way, what people think in the states.

I know you’re making an observation so this isn’t directed at you, but to those who got us to this segregation - so no offense intended towards you friend.

It makes me so sad that this is the assumption. Yes, the traditional definition of God is not one many of us subscribe to, but to generally group progressives and atheists together, conservatives and religion together is just as much the problem as “fake news”.

Reference, myself, a progressive who found his spirituality in his late twenties while working at a startup and finding the church of consumerism unacceptable. Yet, look at that, still progressive.

Well, if you get too much air, the pressure will probably kill you, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Even worse, it's actually four-and-half-three-twenty or in plainer terms four, plus three and a half twenties.

Your wife is one of the few pedigreed nutrionists who “knows” that! Sadly most nutritionists are overweight themselves and continue to advocate people consume whole grains, low-fat dairy, and fruit to lose weight/be healthier. Kudos to your wife for ignoring the massive amount of BS most doctors and nutritionists are inculcated with!
One example.

That is the best case scenario. The worst case scenario is when one of those is prohibited from publishing "fact checks" because they "don't meet our high standards" (which Google is free to set as they see fit) and the other is free to declare "false" anything opposing tribe says because everybody knows they're the bunch of damn liars anyway.

Also, "fact checkers" are free to misinterpret the content of the article, i.e.:

"Increasing the minimum wage helps improve the economy"

* Fact check by Conservative-example:

Claim: "we should take all the money away from successful people and give it free to drug addicts and moochers"

Verdict: false

* Fact check by Progressive-example:

Claim: "we should let poor people to just die from hunger"

Verdict: false

etc. Neither of that contributes to the discussion much, in fact, it makes it harder by caricaturising positions of opposing sides and making it harder to discuss arguments on the manner, while wearing the veil of "objective fact checking". The expression "fact checking", which once meant verifying objective facts, has already been hijacked by propagandists to make their propaganda more plausibly sounding. I predict more such abuse is going to happen and the term would be further eroded until it's completely meaningless.
It's been a long time I did biology in high school, but a quick fact checking on WP suggests I'm not too far off: This is true for most/all(?) fruit and yet untrue for humans because sucrose is broken down into glucose and fructose by the body anyway.
Indeed, fact checking systems are only as good as the link between identity credentialing services and a person.

Suppose a left leaning fact checker is more critical of conservatives? Many believe this is common.

"Conservatives just lie more"

Suppose they are more critical regardless of this (of truth)

And what about statements which can be interpreted as false by an uncharitable reader? This is extremely common.

Great analogy, and as with all VMs, you have a fundamental performance penalty for not doing it natively. Although you do get the flexibility of pausing / debugging / isolating the VM.
"it is a health issue you can clearly do something about with just a little bit of will" <- That a little will can solve this seems obvious for thin people, but it doesn't reflect the reality of weight loss. In fact, this is the core of such discrimination; it seems so obvious to a thin person that the fat person is riddled with character flaws. Read up. Look around. If it was that easy, we wouldn't have this problem.
I just watched a documentary where Lustig said sugar in fruit is fine because the fibre in the fruit means you absorb the sugar over a period of time, meaning the liver doesn't get one big hit.

Depends on who you're using as an example. If you're consuming too much alcohol or other, obvious well-known substances that cause liver damage it might be easier to eat healthy than it would be to not consume. (From a mental/logical standpoint.)

Point is, the onslaught on the liver is coming from all angles. Actual kids are being hurt unknowingly in a similar way that "college kids" are being knowingly hurt.

Indeed. Google already has a huge astroturfing problem and there is no evidence this is going to do anything to address this at all.

Incidentally, those who think ML would help need to take a look at the training corpus.
That's another weird thing. You CAN read out a number as 8 individual digits, but most Danes will give you 4 two-digit numbers. It's almost a shibboleth, like that movie where the non-native German speaker uses his pointing finger instead of his thumb to count "one".

> There's absolutely no way you can definitively link deaths from heart disease to air pollution with any substantial degree of confidence, at least not in 99.99% of the cases.

I have not read the detail of the report in question, but your assertion is not really true, because it assumes that each individual case needs to be definitively linked as "yes-or-no" as being caused by air pollution. That is just not how population studies like this work.

On the other hand, (and, again, it could be in the source of the report, not sure) but a more accurate/effective measure is years of life lost because of pollution. One of the most tragic consequences of heavy pollution is it's effect on the young. Pollution in some cities like New Delhi is so horrendous that it's like smoking a pack or two a day - imagine that effect on a young child.
Smalltalk was the first dynamic UI environment but within a few years you could do this on lisp machines as well (both the Xerox D machines in either Smalltalk or Interlisp modes and MIT CADR lispms). Which is to say the Smalltalk environment was influential both at the time and later.
They seem pretty lax about "rich snippets" already. Perhaps they don't trust them, but they present them as things to be trusted.

>I wonder how far they are willing to go with this.

It's reducing assertions to single sentences. Calling it fact-checking is also deceptive. That phrase is a tool of the media to get viewers to stop looking at counter-arguments and to take the pundit's side. It's another 'headline' and for sure, will have click-bait content from news companies.

It would be different if it showed the assertions and then linked to rebuttals (and then linking rebuttals to rebuttals -- like debate, you have a limited number of "rounds" constrained by the amount of space Google will allow you). However, dropping a bool is going too far. That's implying the matter is settled, and for politics, it isn't likely to be settled. For sure, it needs "mostly true/false" and "partially true/false".
Yes absolutely they do matter

1) how accurately are you pretending to be an extrovert (chances are youre broadly failing if its unnatural)

2) how much energy are you spending pretending to be an extrovert (chances are a lot if its unnatural)

The internals are more important than "do i finally sound like an extrovert? introverts are such losers!"
"Where we're going, we don't need a DOM."
So based on that it looks like nothing to do with sucrose vs HFSC, only that the berries have some other properties like binding the sugar up in fiber that slow down metabolism.

It would seem if you bound HFSC up with fiber it would have the same effect.

There's a full text available here:

http://www.thelancet.com/commissions/pollution-and-health

Is the lancet politically motivated? I haven't heard about it before, but I am not yet really well versed in the climate science field.

It says in the abstract: Diseases caused by pollution were responsible for an estimated 9 million premature deaths in 2015—16% of all deaths worldwide—three times more deaths than from AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined and 15 times more than from all wars and other forms of violence.

That's a pretty heavy claim to make, and it says it without any doubt. Perhaps they can rule out all other causes of heart disease statistically? I don't know what sort of things cause heart disease that they might not know about in a population.
High productivity, huge trade surplus, low unemployment, very high standard of living
Unit tests and integration tests are so inefficient
Again seems like that has nothing to do with HFSC or sucrose, only whats its mixed with.
More available solar energy. More available minerals. Few pollution worries (sortofa problem just now on earth.) Supports a far larger population in time. Freeman Dyson's explanation (pre-Musk), that it gives us redundancy because humans make mistakes, is of course unappealing if you think that civilization and the earth's ecosystem is indestructible, but many don't think that anymore, and the number of ways we could put an end to ourselves or our civilization seems to be growing.
There are whole books on this, of course.
