The use of quotes to question the authenticity or true nature of something is accepted in English. You could have said "journalism" and I wouldn't have jumped on you.

On "article" though it's inappropriate. The other comment notwithstanding, an article is an article, no matter if it's written by a journalist, an amateur, or a monkey banging its head on a keyboard. There is zero credibility implied by the word.

Example:

> The "food" from that restaurant was awful

Correct usage. You are (humorously, snarkily) questioning that what you received was food at all.

> The food from that "restaurant" was awful

Incorrect. No matter what you thought of the food, the fact is that it is a restaurant (ie, a place that dispenses food, with no consideration of quality implied). This usage betrays a lack of sophistication and should be avoided.

In the system of Apple devices, iPhones aren't "supposed" to be content creation devices. iPads still come with headphone jacks. They've got bigger screens with space to use implements like styluses. Apple sees iPhone as a consumption device and iPad as a creation device.

Blood Moon 2018: What Causes a Blood Moon?
After trying out multiple different video editors for simple editing on linux, I've ended up sticking to Blender. There's just no beating the fluidity with which you can throw video and audio channels around, group them, apply effects to groups, etc. It probably helps that I taught myself how to 3d model in blender so I was familiar with the shortcuts: Like every other feature of blender, it has a steep learning curve.
The key here is to have an implementation schedule crafted so there is a massive differential impact on a selected group of small providers and a negligible impact on overall performance. After issuing warnings for a few months, put a cap on the number of plain-text submissions per domain, large enough to affect just the worldwide top 5-10 domains in that group. As more domains comply, roll that window, so as to keep just a very small fraction of total mail volume delayed, both incoming and outgoing. Since mail delays are common, the risk of switching by your own customers is low, and special exceptions can be made for accounts that communicate with an affected domain often.

It's essential that the major email domains work together so that the users of small non-encrypting domains feel a generalized performance impact, not just a problem with Gmail or just Yahoo.
Paypal is in this weird place where the whole set of reasons why it's so successfull with buyers is exactly why it is hated by sellers.

As a buyer, I will definitely pick it over any other option, and will pick a seller offering it over one that doesn't, even if the price is slighly higher. That's in fact pretty much the only reason I grown to use Agoda over Booking 99% of the time, and why I now use mostly Qatar Airways for my Europe <-> Asia travel.

It's safer (I don't give my CC to anyone else, they can't lose it nor give it so whoever, and they have very good buyer protection procedures in place), and it's more practical (don't need to find my CC and fill the numbers, don't need to ensure it won't hit my CC monthly spend limit as it use "prelèvement" by default [charge me from my bank account directly, bypassing my CC]).

As a seller I hate it, integration is terrible and fees are terrible. But anyone who has them and tries to remove them knows it translates to lost business. On a websites once we simply moved paypal from the default to one of the side option you could pick and it lead to significant lost sales in A/B testing.
Statistics on killings by US police officers may not be very reliable either.

Thanks, I see. Unfortunately I don't have my Linux machine with. I'll try it later and report my experience.
Hehe, sure.. but these numbers are so low that individual incidents can completely skew the stats for one year.

It's actually more interesting to track number of times weapons are drawn, which is usually also reported as a use of force. It's less precise, but numbers are slightly higher.
The truth they will never tell you
The article is about a sub-group of these people, but the tone to me as well was one of sweeping generalizations.

Edit (instead of replying to all of the individual replies):

I'll be the first to acknowledge that there are systemic problems in police forces worldwide, just like there are systemic problems in any large organization, especially one endowed which so much executive power.

However, any argument that paints a picture of "uniform equals bad" is, in my opinion, not only delusional, but is also a severe injustice to the good apples in public service, that is: in service to the public.

Show HN: An unofficial sequel to Theseus and the Minotaur (the logic game)
I’m a big fan of logic puzzle games, and Theseus and the Minotaur (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theseus_and_the_Minotaur) is one of the best I’ve seen.
Mazeplex (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.invariantl...) is based on the core mechanics of that game (player moves once, then the monster moves twice with a known algorithm), and I’ve added more elements (like a teleport and different types of monsters.
I built it with only native Android components (no game engine such as Unity) and wrote it in Kotlin.
It was a fun project to work on, and generating the levels was the most challenging task.
Dutch showers are as a general rule not electricity heated but gas, and those that are electricity heated have typically really old boilers that take forever to warm up, likely the host meant that they too would like a shower later.
> People will upvote and share any article that reinforces their existing beliefs and world view.

People do that with accredited news already. For example, in communist circles there is some groups that believe that no matter what, everything that Stalin did was justified. They will bring up no amount of obscure scholars, and disregard large amounts of citations from modern scholars and new evidence to protect this world view. The same goes for any world view. Look at all the people hoping against all evidence that bitcoin is a fad.

Ultimately, people will do this no matter what quality of the evidence presented is (aside from one or two people who decide that they like X news source, there is a chance they will reverse with a citation from that news source, but no other, even if the quality of the evidence is the same). 'Fake news' existed long before it came to that name.
Well what about the Innocence Project and all the false narratives it has uncovere? Do some web searches around this kind of stuff and I think the US crime statistics also become similarly unreliable. Maybe look up Ken Dilanian, Gary Webb, Steven Avery, Michael Hastings, etc. Our policing force also has corruption and its share of false narratives. There are a lot of cases like this.

The whole "fake news" thing is mostly one side losing an election and putting the blame on a strategy they also used for years. It doesn’t matter if the fake news comes from reputed newspapers institution or not, the media game always have been a power game and the internet is just rebalancing a scale that was heavly tipped for years towards one world view.

Integrating With Netlify: OAuth2 (2016)
The 'what do you want?' example is simply a case of someone being unable to use the Dutch honorific 'U' in English substituting it correctly with 'you' since both 'jij' and 'U' map onto 'you'. Also, what I find more interesting is that the tourist automatically assumed the host spoke English, did so and then complained about the quality of the English, rather than to be appreciative of the fact that the serving staff spoke English (which almost everybody here does, but still, I'd be amazed to find a tourist that learned the language before making a trip).
OK, now I'm paranoid.

Any member of the force, its leadership, or the surrounding politicians who is not 100% supporting the investigation and calling for heads to roll, is complicit. If that's a large enough group, then a sweeping generalization is absolutely warranted.

I know somebody who worked at Paypal. There was a simple scheme they used to do on a regular basis. Once somebody has accumulated a sufficient amount of money on their account, they would freeze their account and tell them to send incredibly detailed documents confirming the sources of all incoming transactions. Completing that request would take the average user a long time, then afterwards Paypal would take a couple of weeks "analyzing" the documents. In the meantime, they were free to handle the frozen assets as they saw fit, such as investing in stocks. After those few weeks, they would (not always) unfreeze the account and pocket the investment profits. If there was anything wrong with the documents, they would extend the period the account was frozen or simply keep the money for themselves in some cases.

Should not police departments have something like internal investigations department to catch things like these before public have to be involved?
Yes, but the fact is that there is that alternate state (inedible, not-food) that it can at least be compared to, and humorously categorised as.

An article is an article is an article. What is it if it's not an article? Imaginary? It just doesn't work.
Black people do not cooperate in a group the way police officers do. Claiming so would be a conspiracy theory. Police a paid from the same bank account, work in the same house, are hired by the same organization, wear the same uniform and have the same training.

So there is a difference between claiming "blacks do this" vs. "cops do this".

Also the paragraph before the quote was conveniently left out

"Or maybe Baltimore is indicative of police departments all over the country. Maybe they’re like the one in Cleveland, which hired the cop who killed Tamir Rice after he was fired by another police department. Or like the South Carolina state trooper who said he shot a man because he was moving erratically while reaching for his wallet. Or when a paid police informant planted cocaine in a store owner’s shop."
Yeah, now I have had time to put my brain in gear. ;)
I sent €2000 to Revolut and they never received it
Hello guys,

TL:DR - I topped up €2k to my Revolut card and never received it. Support unresponsive.

Just wanted to relate an experience I had with Revolut. I wanted to try their service since I heard good things about it.

On Monday morning 29/01, I sent money from a Dutch bank account. Tuesday (30/01), I enquired to Revolut about not having received the funds about them and they said : "You might have to wait longer". Today, after waiting more than 3 days I still received no money and they said there was "a problem on Monday with all European payments and that the money should be refunded to my accounts".

They are super unresponsive as to when, what was the problem... Top ups by credit card is still instant but bank transfers take much longer than advertised.

What should I do?
At some point, you have to form an opinion, though. The fact of the matter is that there are dangers associated with freediving, in any form. Whether one considers those dangers as necessary or acceptable, or not, is a matter of opinion.

I mean, there's no way to objectively decide what is acceptable risk. You can choose some arbitrary cutoff point, but it's always going to be an arbitrary cutoff point and nothing else.

And I think it's important to be able to look at facts (limited obviously by our ability to know them for sure) and make a decision about what you think is right to do based on them- and not just regarding risk. Regarding anything. In many issues that we have to deal with in our everyday life there is no cut-and-dried answer, so we just have to exercise our best, well, judgement.

You're right that we must leave such judgements open to re-evaluation, absolutely. That's what debating them on the internets is for :)
In the meantime, Dutch, Danish or Germans speaking English are doing a lot better in terms of communication in foreign tongues than their English counterparts in Dutch, Danish or German.
For me the experience is way better when wires are gone.
>No editor would ever allow a line like that to make it to publication.

Conflating public domain with public knowledge risks a meaningful error. To patent something requires that you make it publicly knowable, but this knowledge would not be usable by other companies.

well... you can write a patent that is so obfuscated that the public cannot learn from it...

Once I had a charge to my PayPal account for something I didn't buy. I fought with PayPal for about 2 months and they kept giving promises and failing to deliver.

One call to my credit card company and I got the money back via chargeback to PayPal.

I've never found PayPal to be that simple.

I have an iPhone 7. In reality even that isn't an issue. You can keep the dongle attached to your headphones and it will stick safely to it.

I would really like to know how many people who find issue with the dongle have day-to-day experience with a headphone jack-less device. My bigger concern is that headphone jacks will vanish from headphones.
Is Adyen cheaper than Paypal in terms of fees?
This is a good point. But it seems like the advantages of PayPal from a buyer perspective are derived from a subset of its features, rather than the core of the product itself. It is possible to create a business that masks your credit card, for example, without also creating a de-facto bank and merchant processor. See Privacy.com for an example.
If you look at bias in the news it's been Republican leaning for the last 20 years. Which is what happens when someone decides to make a major news source devoted to propaganda and the other side does not.

Which is really a response to how unbalanced the US political process has become. When the facts disagree with your point of view, ignore them. -> Reality now seems biased.
The minijack is essentially perfect, which I know is a word that shouldn't be used lightly. It's intuitive, durable, reliable, inexpensive and compact.

In the 4-pole incarnation, it handles the addition of a microphone with backwards compatibility. A headphone-only plug works without issues in a 4-pole socket, and a 4-pole plug works equally without issues in a headphone-only 3-pole socket. Obviously you won't be able to use the microphone, but it will not mess up anything, only give you sound in one ear or something similarly weird and unexpected.

There was a small issue with TRRS standards, OMTP on one side and CTIA on the other, where the mic and ground pins were switched in relation to each other. Everyone seems to have agreed on using the CTIA standard now, though. And a lot of headsets are able to accomodate both automatically.

The minijack has stood the test of time.
I wonder how popular downloading via Usenet is outside of The Netherlands, where me and my friends shared an account in high school. Here in Japan it seems no-one is using it (for downloading).
I always suspect that a big part of the problem with the US police system is that it's made up of loads of regional forces. In countries with national forces, internal investigations are easier; just bring in people from the other side of the country, who have no particular loyalty to the people they're investigating.
It's insane seeing videos of routine traffic stops in the US where both officers leap from their vehicle with guns drawn, ready to escalate the situation at the slightest provocation.

Future, more civilized, societies will one day study the ruins of America with bafflement. Like, what were they thinking? Was this what liberty was to them?
Body cams on police and actual consequences for misconduct. Some of the videos of people (of all colors) being unlawfully murdered have led to absolutely zero consequence for those responsible. Those with authority granted by the public should have HIGHER accountability and more severe consequences, not be able to subvert them altogether. It's not difficult to imagine the level of misconduct that is likely occurring in the cases where no video evidence is even available.

And while the racial component of police shootings has been portrayed in a way which differs sharply from the actual data on race/crime/police lethal force, there IS still some element of uncertainty in the exact figures. The fact that there is any uncertainty at all in police killings being reported correctly is absolutely INSANE to me. This is not an area where we can have sloppy data. If a government agent is responsible for the death of a citizen, it is unacceptable that we not have a very clear record of all surrounding circumstance.
I don't want webpages being preloaded on mobile because as it stands mobile carriers are still charging an arm and a leg for mobile data. Preloading means that pages are being loaded that I never see.

The clientside ecosystem is mad, average webpage size has ballooned to 3MB. I often choose to preload a podcast, in exchange for loading one single webpage. Therefore choosing which result I want before opening it is something I'm interested in.

Webpages are easily the heaviest use of my data as it is. I could spend all day on maps, reading email, or otherwise without any problem.
