Are you talking about this[1] study? Because it doesn't say that the media is "left-leaning". Rather, it says that their coverage of Trump has been more negative than positive (in the first 100 days, the period the study examines). Rather than the result of bias, it could simply be that he's done a bunch of obviously-bad things. Which one can certainly argue.

Another point: the article points out that, despite the overwhelmingly negative coverage, most of the time, they're using his own voice:

What’s truly atypical about Trump’s coverage is that it’s sharply negative despite the fact that he’s the source of nearly two-thirds of the sound bites surrounding his coverage. Typically, newsmakers and groups complain that their media narrative is negative because they’re not given a chance to speak for themselves. Over the past decade, U.S. coverage of Muslims has been more than 75 percent negative. And Muslims have had little chance to tell their side of the story. Muslims account for less than 5 percent of the voices heard in news reports about Islam.[31] So why is Trump’s coverage so negative even though he does most of the talking? The fact is, he’s been on the defensive during most of his 100 days in office, trying to put the best face possible on executive orders, legislative initiatives, appointments, and other undertakings that have gone bad.

How do you hope for them. They fucked us. They fucked us all really good and deep. Seriously there is no more distgusting tech company right now than Intel. They screwed everyone with the fucking Management Engine and now that people are getting aware of the clusterfuck that IntelME is this shit happens. The CEO actually knew what would happen and choose to flee the sinking ship, by selling everything he could, instead of going public about it. It was security researchers and careful observations from the OSS world that made this public, not Intel. This fucking company screws their customers over and over again. I really hope that Amazon, Google, and all the Cloud Providers sue the shit out of them for this. And even more I hope that people wake the fuck up and stop buying their BS processors.
I worry about being on the cusp of not being able to discern real from non-real. Pictures, stories, audio, video can be convincingly fabricated. Our society and the rule of law may not be able to function. Maybe (hopefully?) we can develop technology that will help solve some of these problems. We're only in the first inning when it comes to political divisiveness.

I think that a great children's museum exhibit would be really interactive and engaging. So if there's an exciting exhibit, I'd think there would be interest in smaller educational projects the kids and their parents could put together. So the OP could also offer to design related educational toys that the museum could sell in their shop, or the OP could sell on his site. At the very least, he could have free instructional videos on his site related to his educational exhibits.

I will take your word for it that there are more left-leaning sources. I will also assume for the sake of argument that it is possible to quantify the political alignment of a news outlet.

What is your definition of "left-leaning"?

What is your definition of "fair" in the context of news?

Why do you believe news cannot be "fair" or that we cannot have it?

Is the numeric quantity of sources at any point on the political spectrum relevant? How do you find the middle? Is it an average of all sources? Is it just a scale from MIN to MAX? If it is min/max then can't an extremely conservative (or liberal!) organization move the middle simply by making outlandish claims on their side of the spectrum? Does that make sources that would otherwise be considered "fair" appear biased?
The suburbs also have urban growth boundaries (parents live next to one) and it's easy to build over single family homes. The people and the city don't seem very interested however. The whole state is really antigrowth and it has been for a century.
That's really hard to do. PII breaches are virtually always by mistake (irrelevant if that mistake is negligence).

If Thiel is going to use his own ideology, it would likely be more of a Libertarian news network. It isn't clear tho if that's the case. Maybe he just thinks there's more market for "conservative" and thus would go that direction. Or a third possibility (what I think is most likely actually) is that nobody knows what words mean other that "Conservative" and "Liberal" so they picked "the closest one."
I’m not American, but I do listen to quite a few NPR podcasts and enjoy them a lot.

Your claim that NPR isn’t biased is quite frankly ludicrous. Their programming features a clear and unmistakeable liberal* bias, and the fact that you seem to be unaware of this probably just means that you share this worldview. That’s absolutely fine with me, but you should really re-examine your idea of objectivity.

* In the American sense of the word.

Edit: I acknowledge that you admit that all news organisations are biased, however I’m responding to your central claim that NPR fills the objective role referred to by GP
Absolutely, and there needs to be a statutory value placed on PII so that the Equifaxes of the world will have to be insured, and insurers will perform due diligence.

Until then...
At least in the US, libertarians typically consider themselves "right" of the Republican party. It's confusing, because right/left in politics exists on multiple dimensions. One of those is religion/social morality, and on that dimension libertarians are far to the left of mainstream Republicans. On the economics/gov't size dimension, however, they are solidly to the right.
It doesn't stop HTTPS connections, but if I type in randomdomain.com in my browser and hit return, that sends an HTTP request by default. If someone is intercepting my connection, they can modify what's being returned by the webserver, and even if the server itself only serves via HTTPS, the man-in-the-middle program can simply terminate HTTPS and then serve a modified version of the now-unencrypted contents via HTTP.

The only way to get guaranteed security is if your browser will only ever make HTTPS connections to a given domain name, and that requires HSTS preloading.
Like lawyers and doctors?
This is a great point, and a real possibility. With Murdoch's sons in charge, look for Fox to really move away from the right. Their willingness to cut O'Reilly so quickly despite his massive audience was indicative of this new approach I think.
Or maybe anyone who understands cryptography enough to work at the NSA, understands bitcoin and blockchains enough to realize they can make a lot more money for a lot less effort in cryptocurrencies.

I think you're right that technology is not to blame, though it could be a factor due to how we relate with technology.

I think society is still sick and it's because we are more alienated[0] from our roles in it than we ever have been. This is somewhat connected with our use of modern technology but has more to do with our economic relations with each other and with the material world.

>>I think the hardcore bears are just plain wrong, here. I don't know whether or not Tesla is over-valued

The misconception I think a lot of Tesla fans have is that great product = great business. How much do you think Tesla's business is worth? A billion dollars? A trillion? Probably not the latter, and if they depended on that valuation to continue to do business (by virtue of access to continued investment), it wouldn't matter how great their cars are.

Their actual market cap is 50 billion dollars, more than Ford, and they will need to raise more money to continue operations. Ford makes 500 times more cars than them (based on some quick Googling, .3% market share of cars vs 15% for Ford). So if you're thinking Tesla is not overvalued, you have to think that Tesla will acquire a truly massive chunk of the car market, at the expense of well funded incumbents who have a head start in many aspects of car manufacturing and branding.

My point is that whether or not Tesla is overvalued is as important as whether or not their cars are great. I think their cars are great, but I'm a Tesla bear because I think expecting them to justify even a tenth of their valuation is unlikely.
Unfortunately its not just "youngsters" who lack the critical thinking skills and/or intelligence to be influenced by "nonsense". What these laws are really about are trying to ensure that easily-influenced people are only influenced by government nonsense, rather than nonsense that the government frowns upon. The bottom line is, that to have and maintain a decent society, you need a population that is (to a large degree) informed, aware, and possessing of critical thinking skills. This is true whether you are talking about criminalizing frowned-upon speech or the "fake news" phenomenon that has been popularized here in the United States as of late. The core problem is that those at the pinnacle of our society (the permanent overclass of the ultrawealthy, oligarchs and intelligentsia that control governments and other levers of power) want to have it both ways. They want a largely ignorant, easily-influenced populace that they can control and influence while at the same time having a populace that is immune to ideas that are frowned-upon (by them). Since this isn't possible, their only alternative is to try to silence the "nonsense" that is frowned upon. We see this in Germany via this hate speech laws (which are largely aimed at stifling dissent over their massive influx of North African/Middle East immigrants and the resulting problems), and in the United States via Russiagate (which is an attempt to paint those who oppose the CIA/DC/NATO narrative as traitors or Russian agents [see the treatment of Jill Stein, Ron Paul, or the WaPo's Propornot article as examples]).

One major counterpoint:

What would have happened if the AMD developer on the LKML hadn't said "AMD chips aren't affected by [one of the bugs]" before the big public post? The big headlines would have all been about "major class of speculative execution bugs that cause data exfiltration on ARM, AMD, and Intel hardware." Only one of the bugs is Intel-specific (admittedly, the worst one), but even the Project Zero blogpost points out that it mostly focused on attacking Haswell microarchitecture.

So while Intel does have some egg on its face, ARM and AMD aren't exactly out of the woods yet. Side-channel attacks as a result of speculative execution are sort of a well-known idea, but the main big news is that they are practical to exploit and exfiltrate data. I would not be surprised to see more exploits of this type affecting different hardware vendors come out over the next year. The reason why there's so much focus on Intel is because people trying to reverse-engineer the exploit found the message saying "AMD not affected" and didn't realize that AMD is affected by some of the bugs.

Quite likely, whatever internal announcements that would have filtered up to the CEO would have focussed on the fact that other vendors are seeing some impact from these bugs (if nothing else, professional ass-covering). So it's hard to see how the CEO would actually find this information out even internally.

Edit: to put it more succinctly, Intel appears to have been preparing for an announcement of "Major class of speculative execution vulnerabilities [with particular impact to Intel]." However, the way the announcement came out was "Apparent major bug... that's Intel-specific... oh, here's the details of this bug [with related bugs affecting everybody]." That doesn't scream insider trading to me.

Robots seem to be better at welding aluminum than unskilled humans, they appear to be ok with spool guns and adhering to consistent tolerances and settings.

There are lots of quotes in the OP article that side with GP. Without having done research myself I think it’s plausibly true and the article is full of quotes that suggest this is the case. Your tone is hostile and that makes me disinclined to take your view. Overall I would side with GP over you and I’d hope other users who haven’t done research themselves would too.

So conversative outlets that are much more critical of Trump than they were of Bush are now showing a liberal bias?

"Fox was the only news outlet in the study that came close to giving Trump positive coverage overall, however, there was variation in the tone of Fox’s coverage depending on the topic."

When you consider this line especially, with everything else, it seems more consistent with "Trump is unusually unpopular and criticized" than "the media is even more liberal now."

Maybe you should think about your own biases here, before continuing to equate "negative towards Trump" with "liberal/left"?

If I wanted to write a post criticizing Trump I'd have an incredibly easy time doing it from several right-wing perspectives: religious/moral, small government/individual freedom, anti-corruption/pro-transparency, take your pick. It's all fish in a barrel.

Couldn't you do something like have a separate chunk of "speculative cache" which you only commit to the main cache once the speculatively-executed instructions are retired? Sounds complex, sure - but it seems like that would give you the performance benefits of speculative execution while still being able to roll back (or prevent in the first place) any cache-state side effects when branches were mispredicted. Could also imagine processors start segregating cache by privilege level.

I guess part of the question you're raising is: are there so many different caches, translation buffers, etc. in a modern CPU that keeping 'uncommitted buffers' for the state of all of them would be just as complex as throwing a whole other core in there?

> The CEO, by virtue of being the CEO, can always be accused of insider trading

The proper way to do this involves: (a) timing instructions alongside public filings and (b) having a long gap--the longer the better--between instructions being submitted and trades being executed.

"Reality has a well-known liberal bias."

All joking aside, I definitely acknowledge NPR's liberal bias. My main point was to "follow the money". More traditional liberal (and conservative) media outlets have funding that is much more "active" (for lack of a better term) than NPR.
"Spectre" is very bad news and affects all modern CPUs

It's not yet clear whether it affects all modern CPUs, notably I have yet to see any mention of modern POWER/MIPS/SPARC-based designs. If someone has pointers, those particular cases would probably be quite interesting.

>If it were poor and were being coercively restructured by some outside hegemonic power

I don't think the outside power is relevant to the argument. The effect is the same whoever does it. To some conservative rural German, the government may very well seem like an outside hegemonic power.

As far as economic success being relevant. Tibet's economy is growing rapidly. Eventually they will be as rich as Germany today. Yet their population will be almost completely replaced and their culture gone. Economic success doesn't make up for it.

>Germany's immigrant population is 10-12%

40% of German under 5's are immigrants (http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/09/21/germany-40-percen...). They have a 2-3 times higher fertility rate than the native population. And the rate of immigration keeps increasing and is already unsustainably high. Germans will be a tiny minority of Germany in just 2 generations.

Why was this downvoted? This is clearly true. I am in fact doing it right now. I am sitting in an airport and clicked around 20 different comment sections and articles from HN so that I could read them later. None of them gave any issues. The only js that I decided to allow was from HN so that I could expand/hide comments.

Does this mean that all websites work? Of course not. But this allows the user to choose which sites to allow to run js. I'm not going to pretend that this is an easy task for non-technical users, but we should be promoting these kinds of habits, not scoffing at them. We should educate as many users as possible that they can still (for now) control much of the web-based code executing on their machines.
