> But if there is a one-to-many pattern of information sharing (e.g. an organized attempt to share content) to unrelated parties, then that content should be vetted for veracity. Either FB does it, or they surface it for others to flag it.

This is extremely toxic for freedom of speech and information sharing and is a veiled gateway to censorship. It subjects veracity to the approval of an unknown group with unknown motives than you're assuming are righteous.

There are notably verifiable "fake news" stories that we can all logically assume are fake, but the matter of veracity is ultimately defined in opinion. Even if that opinion is your opinion on what news source to trust.

The only people that can truly verify information are those that are present when it's generated and we rely on those people to be truthful. You trust your source of news when you determine something is fact. Bob's Blog reporting "Obama sends troops to Texas to ensure 3rd term" will receive a notably different reception than NPR reporting the same thing. But ultimately that difference in perception is your opinion of what constitutes valid information. Unless you're in Texas, do you really know for sure?

If an article is 90% correct, but 10% unknown or possibly speculative, who makes the call on the validity of the news and story? What if that 10% of the information dramatically affects the context of the other 90%?

If a police investigation determines that a police officer lawfully killed someone in the line of duty, but someone disputes that with another story, who do we trust? Should one of the stories be suppressed because it can't be validated? Personally, I prefer to reserve the decision for what I consider valid for myself, not the overlords of the platform I use to consume the content.

From https://www.tesla.com/autopilot: "All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver"

Why do we keep referring to something that we understand should require human supervision as "auto"? Stop the marketing buzzfeed and let's be real.
Self driving vehicles were originally funded by DARPA with the idea to use them in combat. Now self driving vehicles are our best hope to significantly reduce road kills. And that will generate a deficit in organ donors. Ethics are complicated.

You are only totally wrong.

This isn't "propaganda put out by intelligence agencies", and there are not "37 million idiots" who "took a 'personality quiz' allowing the 'app' to access their information".

But he already explained that to you quite clearly, something you should have already known if you were following the real news, and you still don't get it.

But since you choose to subscribe to the conspiracy theory that this is just all deep state propaganda, and everyone whose privacy was compromised was an idiot who asked for it by doing something foolish and deserves what they got, then there's no use in discussing it with you.

Because you're their ideal target and they've already successfully targeted you and influenced your mind, even though you didn't take a personality quiz yourself.
As best I am aware, many of the F-keys have no specific use outside development applications. About the only two that get used in widespread applications are F1 and F5. IDEs make good use of them for debugging, but that's about it.

Other 'Professional' software such as video editing or music production usually sticks to key combos rather than F-keys. This is traditionally why the F-key row is used for things like brightness or volume, and why Macs use these as the default function.

I don't know about their marketing email policies, but we use it for transactional emails, wherein opt-in consent is generally not explicit.

For instance, if you use it for service delivery (payment receipts, invoices, password resets, etc), there is no separate opt-in process beyond the fact that recipients are your users who signed up for your service.

I'm not sure how any ESP could enforce the notion of opting in under these circumstances.

I don't bother reporting spam on one account. In fact, I created a rule specifically filtering spam to go to my inbox. Pretty much the only people who bother me are those who don't set their dates properly. What I mean is they set their spam to say June 02 on an email sent on February 06 of the same year. I will not hesitate to report any such email as spam. This doesn't happen often but I hope google (or any email provider) punishes such senders severely maybe even blacklist the domain.

There are much earlier archaeological artefacts including stone writing from much earlier than 457 B.C. This is the time after the destruction of the first temple by the Babylonians who dispersed the Jews around the area. Since then there were Jewish communities all over the middle east including in Egypt. I don't understand why the writer of the article is so baffled about this.
Just as an example, the Merneptah Stele is the first to mention the name Israel and is dated to 1203 BC. Ahab and Omri the Israeli biblical kings are mentioned in the Kurkh Monoliths and the Mesha Stele from 850 BC so to start to research Jews just from 457 BC looks a bit too late in the game.

Actually the fuel efficiency of Concorde in "max cruise" auto pilot mode (aka max speed) is way better than people think: it didn't fly with reheat on (that's what is called supercruising in military planes). Reheat (aka afterburners) was applied from Mach 0.95 to 1.7 and for taking off.

The hourly flow rate in supersonic is roughly the same than in subsonic (cruising speed was around Mach 0.9), something like 20 metric tons per hour.

So the faster you went supersonic, the better as your fuel efficiency would increase.

There's even an entry about that in wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_specific_fuel_consumpti...

For example, Concorde cruised at Mach 2.05 with its engines giving an SFC of 1.195 lb/(lbf·h) (see below); this is equivalent to an SFC of 0.51 lb/(lbf·h) for an aircraft flying at Mach 0.85, which would be better than even modern engines; the Olympus 593 was the world's most efficient jet engine.[2][3] However, Concorde ultimately has a heavier airframe and, due to being supersonic, is less aerodynamically efficient, i.e., the lift to drag ratio is far lower. In general the total fuel burn of a complete aircraft is of far more importance to the customer.

And on the Olympus page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce/Snecma_Olympus_593

The overall thermal efficiency of the engine in supersonic cruising flight (supercruise) was about 43%, which at the time was the highest figure recorded for any normal thermodynamic machine.[3]

ARM (thumb 2, Cortex M0-M4) is by far the most important target. Second is cores like Cortex A7 and A53.

I think AVR is pretty minor outside hobbyist circles. After ARM support, I'd rather first see MSP430 (amazing for low power), some FPGA softcores (like NIOS, microblaze, etc., common in low volume, industrial & medical devices) and even 8051 (these buggers seem to still be everywhere, but I guess targeting Rust for this arch is the ultimate challenge.).

I guess RISC-V would be cool as well, I can see this getting more popular in the future, eating ARM market share.

“The lack of oversight on such communication platforms could be harmful. In India, where Facebook-owned WhatsApp counts more than 200 million users on its encrypted messaging service, fake news, political propaganda, and other forms of misinformation frequently spread like wildfire.”

So what? I hate WhatsApp hoaxes as much as the next person, but compromising privacy is no solution to that. There is crap and misinformation in other media, too (mail, IM apps, blogs, comments), and that does not justify invasions of privacy.

Is Facebook (or Apple, or Google, or Telegram) going to determine what qualifies as “fake news”, “political propaganda”, and “misinformation”? God help us.

The way forward is to denounce always stupid chains, to demand sources and URLs for everything, and to educate newbies. Not surveillance.

This falsely “balanced” paragraph in the article is very dishonest.

We use these XPSes and the current MBPs here. I do not recommend the QHD screens on a 13", if you ever flip Linux to text mode it is just about unreadable, and I think only MacOS handles HiDPI elegantly. Ubuntu needs a lot of tweaks to be usable.

I also agree that the trackpads are very poor, and that's still one of Apple's main strengths. Although quite why the trackpad needs to be quite so enormous on the current models is a mystery to me, so many people catch it when typing.

The touch bar is absolutely atrocious, and shows that Apple is either completely out of touch or doesn't give a crap about it's users. There is absolutely no reason to force those who want the latest hardware with a dedicated graphics card to have that touchbar keyboard. They could've offered the touchbar keyboard alongside standard keyboard models, giving users the option to choose what keyboard they want while also giving Apple valuable A/B testing data to see what the public prefers.

I really hope another company out there makes a superior laptop. Apple has too much of a monopoly on the dev laptop market, and they clearly don't have the competency to be trusted with it.

"All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver."

This is perhaps a case of purposely confusing marketing. All vehicles have the hardware for full self-driving capability but not yet the software. The full self-driving is to be enabled later on through an over-the-air software update.

On the other hand, even a few "centers" are way better than just one, in that that creates competetive pressure.

But also, those three are by far not the only ones, there are quite a few more significant email providers across the globe.

And also, there are tons of participants who use none of those services. Apart from some individuals running their own servers, lots and lots of companies run their own email infrastructure.

>how representative are those people of the population at large?

Another question is whether people truly understand their privacy exposure? They know FB has some information on them because they submit it, but they don't know how much info in total (sites visited, location tracking, etc), how that data is combined/used, who has access to it, etc.

And, they assume that whatever FB is doing with their data must be OK/legal because laws.

I think that's what we saw with reactions to these recent revelations. When an inkling of the real privacy exposure surfaced, people freaked.

Four Ways to Fix Facebook
I would have to seriously question your assertion that poverty has been on the decline since the 50s .. I've seen the stats you present, but also stats to the contrary so the case is far from closed.

What I do know is that the average industrial wage relative to the cost of living has been steadily declining with a marked plunge from the 80s onwards.

I will concede that the 50s is a poor comparison, as much of the western world was in the midst of a post-war economic boom at that time.
Relevant here: "Why don't I take military funding?" by Prof. Benjamin Kuipers.

https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~kuipers/opinions/no-military-fun...

From the introduction:
"""
Mostly it's a testimony that it's possible to have a successful career in computer science without taking military funding. My position has its roots in the Vietnam War, when I was a conscientious objector, did alternative service instead of submitting to the draft, and joined the Society of Friends (Quakers). During the 1980s and 90s, the position seemed to lose some of its urgency, so it became more of a testimony about career paths.

Since September 11, 2001, all the urgency is back. The defense of our country is at stake, so this testimony becomes critical. In short, I believe that non-violent methods of conflict resolution provide the only methods for protecting our country against the deadly threats we face in the long run. Military action, with its inevitable consequences to civilian populations, creates and fuels deadly threats, and therefore increases the danger that our country faces.
"""
Maybe not millions, but you could make a decent chunk of money in a number of ways. The obvious 'easy' one would be to spin up affiliate sites and rank quickly and easily for competitive terms (with a site that does not deserve to rank), by hijacking the equity (PageRank essentially) of one site and using it to rank in another region.

For example I could leverage the equity of a US made second hand car marketplace and to rank my site in the UK and list UK Autotrader listings on my site. They have a nice affiliate program for clicks/leads.

Alternatively, I may only operate in one country but I could 'top up' by equity by leeching it from a company in a similar niche in another country. My competitors in my home country would be at a loss to how I'm ranking so well.

It should be noted that there are a number of parameters that may change between my initial experiment and these uses, so we'll never know how viable it really was.

"but autopilot still lowers the death rate on average"

That's not what they said, they said the death rate was lower than the average. And yet you can't help hearing that it lowered the death rate. I think it's very likely turning on autopilot massively increases the rate of death for Tesla drivers, but they've managed to deflect from that so skilfully.
