These are good questions.

I'd say left-leaning sources are those that tend to report negatively on conservative politicians and positively on liberals. The Harvard study purports to measure what constitutes negative coverage, so this seems like it could be measured.

About numbers, it seems today often Fox reports favorably for the GOP, while CNN, NBC, MSNBC, NPR, and the BBC seem to favor the political left. (I think the Harvard study seems to suggest this.)

I suppose a microcosm of the 'balanced list' I'm describing might be 'Real Clear Politics'. This site posts leftist articles, then immediately follows them with right-leaning articles in equal numbers one after the other. It's an interesting way to get news, and it allows the reader to study different biases, often on the same topic.

We need to be careful that our news outlets do not become basically state media when their party/ideal of choice is in power, and opposition media when their party/ideal is not. It appears that is what we are leaning towards right now, and all it does is foster more polarization.
I'm disappointed Intel didn't bother to test the performance impact of this and report it in the patchset.

You should be disappointed that they didn't report it. But I'd be willing to bet every last dollar of my net worth that Intel has done very extensive performance testing.

I'd venture that the results are far too embarrassing to report.
Hmm, or maybe it's a reason to go with bare-metal providers :)

The best you can get is an organization that has a consistent and clear bias, which NPR has - also why people like BBC and the Economist. Additionally, I’d caution against extrapolating NPR’s journalistic bias by their podcasts - it’s a podcast, whereas radio content was produced expressly in line with their journalistic and reporting standards (I don’t listen to any of their podcasts dealing with politics so I couldn’t judge those).
If by blockchain you mean a merkle tree then sure I might agree with you. If by blockchain you mean one of the various crypto currencies with a consensus protocol then I don't really see the appeal.

A merkle tree has some useful properties for verifying the integrity of your data cryptographically. As such it is a useful way to distribute a ledger. But in this particular domain there is no double spend problem to worry about so proof of work and most other consensus protocols are... wasteful at best.
If you're making the argument "Spotify probably isn't that much more popular, it just inflates its numbers" you've got a high burden of proof to clear with people who see everyone around them using Spotify at a much higher rate than the competing services.

That's not a market, that's people with money in the bank and actual experience gambling on the future. If you and Burks hadn't spent all of yours rebuilding the same things over and over again for four years, you might have gotten to sit at the table with some of the people who buy Edison lightbulbs from Restoration Hardware in bulk to see if a market for Otto existed. Since that didn't happen, now you're pretty much just going to have to sit there and take the entire world's word for it that nobody wants a $700 lock that can be defeated with a $17 carbide-tipped drill bit just as quickly as a $29 lock from Home Depot that also looks less ridiculous and doesn't need its batteries changed every month.
What specific actions by intel are you proposing we should hold the CEO accountable for?
> You usually see people argue that the tech imbalance is in men/nerds/whoever discriminating against women

Now we're moving the goalpost.

But anyway, I doubt your impression.

["women in it" discrimination] get 1.2 million hits on google, while ["women in it" culture] gets 37.5 million hits.

Note that "changing culture" means nothing else but "making the job more attractive for women", or "women don't want to work in IT".

Here's the first headline I get on Google News for ["women in IT"]: "Why We Should Encourage More Women to Work in IT"

That's awfully close to the "How do we recruit boys[..]" I cited above.
Abductive Inference, and more specifically "Parsimonious Covering Theory" (PCT)[1] which is one approach to automating abduction. It's a not a new idea by any means, but I think there's still some meat on that bone (so to speak). I've been working on re-implementing PCT using in a more modern environment, with an eye towards exploring ways to extend the idea and/or integrate it with some more recent approaches.

No one would look very technical next to Woz. And it's not surprising Jobs farmed out the work to his badass friend.

> "At night the two would collaborate on building it at Atari: Wozniak as engineer, Jobs as breadboarder and tester...."

But this is a very biased way of describing two people working on a technical project. To call one an "engineer" and the other a "breadboarder" as if he sat quietly contributing nothing.

Just because one person is playing second fiddle to a truly gifted technical genius doesn't magically make them non-technical.

If you want to argue Steve Jobs isn't technical, you'll have to set the bar lower than "as good as Woz" or almost none of us will make the cut!
You do realize ETH is just the abbreviation/symbol for Ethereum (not "ethereal") right?
Given the news did not seriously affect the price of the stock (3-4% is a little more than typical volatility, but not much), it seems like his defense would be very simple. "I did not consider this to be material non-public information, and indeed, it has turned out as I expected." In fact, he'd have been better off to wait until after the disclosure to sell based on the current price (45.3) and the price when he sold (44.8).
There's not really a conservative news network, a libertarian one, or a classically liberal one. Fox News has positioned itself in a tabloid/populist space. It's hardly ideological (is cutting corporate tax rates pro little guy?), so something with a more definite point of view as opposed to virtue signalling would be interesting.

They are certainly related, but not quite the same.

In contrast, FAE touches on what you believe motivated an individual to act, and whether it was innate or circumstantial.
> You can't really legislate serious penalties for mistakes, and negligence is really really hard to prove.

You can legislate serious penalties for negligence, of which a great number of PII breaches would, IMHO, be candidates for.
For the question of insider trading, it's irrelevant whether other companies were affected by this bug.

As long as the information was not public (in this case presumably it was an embargoed secret under NDA), and that information is material (this information clearly is as Intel's stock is down about 3% today) then it's illegal to trade on that information.

TL;DR is that mitigation for Spectre on an OS level is not very expensive in terms of performance while Meltdown mitigation, which affects only Intel, will have a performance penalty between 5% and 30%

I think `downrightmike was referencing the alleged insider trading at equifax around the PII breach, not the PII breach itself. Some top executives unloaded stock just before the breach was revealed. So you're both referring to insider trading laws.

Honestly the two situations seem very similar. One is a vulnerability leading to PII, the other leading to performance degradation. Both could have negative impact on stock price, and both had executives unloading stock just before their announcement.
That’s a very premature read. The market is still digesting this news.

If you read the article you quoted:

They should have filed an 8-k form, the typical SEC disclosure form for any materially significant event that cannot wait until a quarterly statement.

“Waiting until the next quarter” is exactly what Equifax did regarding patching.

Intel’s CEO is both guilty of corporate malpractice and willful blindness. The latter term is currently undergoing a renaissance in legal academia and will send many people to jail in the future.
Reading the Meltdown paper [1], it's not clear why I keep seeing people say it's Intel only. The paper says quite clearly that other vendors' processors could be affected:

"Instead, Meltdown exploits side-channel information
available on most modern processors, e.g., modern
Intel microarchitectures since 2010 and potentially
on other CPUs of other vendors."

[1] https://meltdownattack.com/meltdown.pdf
Negligence is not "really really hard to prove".

In the US, negligence as a tort is a four-pronged test. In the case of Equifax, did they have a duty to protect your PII? Did they breach that duty? Was that breach the proximate cause of your PII being disclosed? Did that disclosure result in an injury?
That's what I meant, trying to figure it out what's luck and whats isn't is impossible, as you put it

> all entirely luck to the core

But now how can you, or anyone else have a say in what is equal?

It's all so complicated, trying to do anything about it is pointless, it feels to me as arrogant to think you can find a solution to all this.

I think you are right, we should focus on the problem itself, instead of what's fair.

Everything is luck, you have no control over your starting point. It's all random, to try to say you understand this is the same as saying you understand quantum mechanics:

"If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics." -Feynman

Now to say we can fix it with a system of redistribution of wealth is wishful thinking.

I'd argue that this system will be unequal, and worse.

Reminds me of my SO's siblings, they say my SO is successful because she had a father (showed up after she was 10 btw), or her mother liked her more, or some other reason, which sure has an effect.

They had a pretty equal starting point, the are broke because they are losers, to say my wife must share her wealth with them is evil.

I always hear the inequality card as "The losers want to be winners". Of course they want, now the question is it fair?
The Republican party is more diverse than most commentators appreciate. Trump didn't even have a majority of the vote in the Republican primary.

Also, libertarians are generally to the right of the Democratic party on religious liberty issues. Hardcore libertarians have no problems with people having kooky or unhealthy religious practices, for that matter.

Well, the question is whether one would expect that Intel would be particularly affected. If the message is "everyone is boned," then there's no reason to expect Intel's share price to fall. That the message ended up being "Intel is boned" doesn't mean that insiders expected that to be the message.

To clarify: it smells bad enough to be investigated... but I wouldn't vote to convict solely on the evidence presented.

It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is choosing whatever compiler, framework or library you want to use. React is a very safe bet in my opinion, it has entrenched itself into many facets of the industry (both corporate and non-corporate). However, don't underestimate the growing popularity of Vue. I've worked with both React and Vue, and I think React needs to up its game because Vue is growing rapidly, has some great ideas (single file components) and more people are becoming aware of it.

The most dangerous thing that any developer can do is choose to work with only one framework or library. Don't put all of your eggs into one basket.

Thanks for that explanation. I'm still unclear on why the total number of sources or articles with a given alignment is relevant.

In your "Real Clear Politics" example two perspectives are given equal weighting in their representation. This seems to make an assumption that there are exactly two valid perspectives and that they can be easily balanced.

Can't that system be exploited by extremists? If an extremely left-wing organization publishes a story that is nearly fabricated in its bias does a right-wing organization need to publish an equally flawed piece on the other side? Should people even read the stories?

I think it's accepted that there is bias in reporting. I also think it is a trap to believe "middle" == "balanced" == "fair" because extremists can exploit that perspective by making increasingly extreme statements. This is the basis of much of cable news as I understand it and I believe it oversimplifies the issues and creates echo chambers by rewarding the biggest delta in opinion.

In my opinion it is more important to get diverse news sources than it is to try and balance ideologies, especially when those ideologies are defined by someone else.

The lines about engineers I find to be odd. I don't believe that an entire culture could think that way, yet the author states that the news is a out of context problem for these firms. Engineers don't actually think like that as this article claims it to be, right?
They created the Apple II together. Woz did most of the hard engineering but it was Jobs that shaped it into a product for regular people through a thousand technical decisions.

You cannot create the company or products that Steve Jobs did without being technical. That doesn't mean you have to write the firmware on the wifi chip. It does mean you have to understand thousands of deeply technical concepts about computers.
It looks like step 4 should say something like (edited):

If b evenly divides a×r_i, where r_i is the current value, divide by b. If not, add or subtract p until the result is evenly divisible by b, then divide by b.

And step 6 should loop back to step 4 and define r_i to be the "result".

This method is very interesting and systematic, but it seems pretty complicated compared to ad hoc reasoning. E.g. 34 is a multiple of 17, so 680 must be too; 986-680 = 306, which is 34 away from 340, a multiple of 17, so 17 is a factor of 986.

Why would people paste the text into the composer rather than attaching the file?

> I disagree that GPG is easy, and I think telling people to use it will mean they screw it up.

We can tell people to zip up files (possibly encrypting them with a password) and attach them to an email, but I've never heard anyone argue that telling people to do that would mean that they would screw it up. What makes GPG different (other than the public/private key thing)?

Maybe one way to introduce people to GPG would be to have them use symmetric encryption at first to send messages and files (as an alternative to a password protected zip or other archive format).

Then tell them that if they create keypairs, they only need to give the other person their public key and the other person does not need to tell them the password of the day anymore to securely send the message.
I think for something this big, the foreseeable effects would be priced in by now. But, I'm no finance expert. I could be wrong.
Because Apple and Google Music suck? And non Apple fanboys would never go to Apple music, Apple customers are probably already there, and people don't want to give all their business to the big giants which do evil things?
