I've thought about that idea as well, have some sort of official standard for something to be called news. Requirements about the separation between editorial and objective content, requirements for certain standards of fact checking and confirmation before reporting, etc. If you don't abide by those standards, you don't get official accreditation as a reliable news source. Give it some sort of official seal or recognition so consumers can see that this show or website is trustworthy. Maybe add some tax credits for these sources, or subsidies or grants to give them an additional edge over their competition. We already have the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, maybe we expand the grants made available and provide stricter requirements for eligibility.

All that said, I am ... hesitant about such a system. It would be immensely controversial, and puts a lot more power in the hands of government over the news content Americans watch every day. The only way to assuage my concerns about that is to make the base standards a pretty lower bar, just things about confirming stories and requiring the submission of corrections and redactions when needed. And add in something to protect journalists, so that the government can't revoke a new source's accreditation because they leaked CIA documents about torture or something else embarrassing to the government. Maybe model it more like university accreditation, where accreditation of news sources involves the input from NGOs and regional government entities.

There's also some question about how helpful it would really be: I imagine the people who watch Info Wars aren't going to stop because it doesn't have the government seal of approval. I think you'd need to give a lot in subsidies or benefits to accredited news sources to give them an edge.
Can we get asm/bytecode instead of C intrinsic? It's easier to reason about, without spawning actual compiler.

But specifically on simplicity of implementation. Which often means pushing the complexity onto the developer.

This line from the article is a pretty good summary of Go in general:

I don't think anyone should have assumed that from your reply - I wasn't stating he is a psychopath either, simply wanted to tie into the idea that there are a lot of successful people in powerful positions ("psychopaths in suits") - they're intelligent yet because they don't factor in the people element, they make decisions that increase profits at the expense of others.

I haven't seen much hyperbole and outrage re: Facebook on here. The scale of Facebook and the issue, how Trump and others got elected into power because of what Cambridge Analytica did -- the gravity (hmm, how grave it is..) and scale, how serious this situation is, would be fairly hard to exaggerate - it should warrant strong anger as well, if looking at the holistic impact, even though individual users may not realize the malice through purposeful ignorance.

About 5 years ago, my wife and I were in London on vacation. We'd just gotten to our hotel from the airport, the rain was really coming down, and we opted to stay in. We ordered pizza from...well, I don't remember where, but the quality of the product was certainly chain-like. And the price was several times what I would've paid at home, even for something of a better quality.

I think expensive food was just one of the defining traits of London, though.
I think most news is pretty much useless without any kind of analysis, and that analysis is effectively editorial.

If I tell you a vote in congress passed, that doesn't really tell me much without saying whether the vote was expected to pass or not, or why, or what the vote passing means, etc. And that's all opinion. Even if you try to present it factually it's all judgement.
As individual you can't really compensate for the update and downs of the market but a pension system with an eye on the long term could do this. Sometimes it's overfunded, sometimes underfunded but in the end it will converge to the average.
Willful ignorance offers a pretty big loophole to that definition.

If you don't fact check information, nobody can say you know it's false.

You called them joe-schmoe, and questioned the quality of their work. Yeah, maybe in your alternate universe that considered praise. Normal people read that as an insult.

> Yes, because it's a legal case we are discussing here and that's called "breaking the law".

Even if this is true, the law isn’t some divine fiat. Some laws are dumb and it is proper and patriotic to point it out and criticize. Just because something might be against the law doesn’t make it wrong. Your argument is the shallowest sort of moral argument, that things should be done a certain way just because that’s how they’re done.
I don’t get what the issue is here. I have seen this message on my local television stations. What is missing from the YouTube video is an invitation at the end of that message for viewers to contact the station with any concerns about bias in its own reporting. In fact that is the entire point of the script, and it has been cutoff of the YouTube video, presumably because it appears to be more controversial that way. Oh, the irony!

So a large media company recognized the problem of bias in the media, which could become a business problem if it affects confidence in their news reporting, and invited people to contact them if they noticed this problem creeping into the individual news stations’ reports. Where is the controversy here?
Is it up to Google's lawyers to do extensive investigations to find out that this guy had "a track record of misleading people"?

A lot of these benchmarks (video and audio encode for example) have hand-coded assembly or hand-coded functions full of sse/avx intrinsics for x86_64. I doubt they do the equivalent for PPC64LE (yet) so the results aren't surprising (or useful).
Can you list some of these ?
The constitution has plenty of privacy rights, our government just chooses to circumvent them through sly interpretation, backed up by the courts.

The legal ability of police to spy that we have today is such circumvention.

But to your point, if the government of the last 5 decades is willing to skirt the constitution as written, I'm not sure how much a new one with stronger verbiage will fair.
Then german law is nearly insane.

In Germany newspaper are not allowed to name people, especially if they are accused but not convicted. The exception is people "of public interest", which is obviously not a clear line. So, quite literally libraries would have to remove newspapers with your name if you don't like what's written there about you ... unless it is of public interest. I consider this law ok.

Good one. And probably others like this exist. So an API of some kind would be useful for you, but also likely don't need overnight/expedited delivery and would want to have much closer to regular letter postage costs.

Not knocking the idea, just hoping to help narrow the question of "who needs this?"

If you're interested in this check out Jeffrey Hillman's work at Oragenics[1]. Wired wrote about his work in 2002, which is how I found it[2]. SMarT is the amazing futuristic put dentists out of business almost tech[3], but there's a current 'ProBiotic' consumer version called ProBiora[4] sold as well, however that's a continuous delivery version. Far more profitable it would seem. Unfortunately, they discontinued FDA trials of SMarT for now.

One of my favorite college professors gave me the expression "I am the primitive of my way."

Whatever else was going on in Persia and Greece, there are reasons they were considered shining beacons. I think one of those reasons was their concept of trade as a civilizing force, superior to, say, raiding your neighbors and just taking whatever you could get.

That concept of trade as a civilizing force seems somewhat lost these days and I think we are worse off for forgetting it.

I realize you are mostly agreeing with me. This would no doubt go better in person. Conversational tone is really hard to convey online.

For the time being, at least in the US, reverse engineering is fully protected by well established precedent. Some nations have laws designed to stop "hackers" that outlaw some of the methodologies used in reverse engineering, which I heavily oppose for this reasoning.
And downside for the organization -- first to market is important, and rewarding thieves over the innovators - giving thieves resources over the innovators, is not good overall for society.

Frankly, when you tell a room full of people about something it's practically guaranteed to leak. The exceptions seem to be (a) secrets nobody cares about ("We're rewriting our ductwork design software!") and things that involve government secrets (and that doesn't always work).

I had a couple of housemates who were in the US submarine service. They never talked about what they did, even 20 years retired, and were very upset when the book Blind Man's Bluff was published.
And I had a Lyft driver all interested in bitcoin a couple of months ago. It's easy to laugh at people and call them stupid and greedy especially in retrospect when bitcoin crashes, the ICO scams, or the dot-com stock bombs. But plenty of people have also made out big with those things (maybe not ICOs--except for the scammers) and, as you say, I'm sure it's very tempting for people without a great financial future on the horizon to look at all that money and wonder if they can't maybe grab some of it.

This may sound naive, but how does IP Theft even work?

I've worked as a software engineer for over 12 years at over half a dozen companies, with codebases numbering in the millions of lines of code and I have yet to see any software or code I could imagine anyone would want to steal. And if you really needed some code, I'm sure it's available somewhere as open source. And wouldn't the open source code be much more preferable? rather than ripping out some piece of "stolen" code that was never meant to serve other purposes.
Yes, this certainly isn't good optics. I would think Apple would be smarter than have something like this in the paper.
Ok, you’re crazy. A “legal definition of news” is exactly what the first amendment is setup to prevent.

What I think it’s time for is to demand personal responsibility for critically thinking about what you read or listen to.

The state cannot ever be trusted to control what you watch, read, or listen to, full stop. This has only ever ended in disaster, and we’ve known this for centuries.

When people who don’t like what someone is saying call for government to stop that person from speaking, and that person isn’t directly inciting violence, I would kindly ask those people to fuck off. Maybe move to a more totalitarian regime if that’s to their liking.

News, editorials, and political commentary are nothing at all like the ingredient list on the back of your soda can.

> Is it interesting how little of consequence is written in Rust, or in that example Haskell, and how much is written in Go, C, and even derelict dregs like PHP. The formal perfection of a language does seem to have a great deviance from the likelihood that it serves as a basis for important work.

That is pretty simple to explain. Well designed languages have a learning curve. They require an initial investment in terms of learning — something that a lot of self styled hackers are not willing to put in. I am sure a ton of stuff is written as shell scripts.

And there is also the matter of how long the language has existed.
Maybe they just want people to know the thing they're leaking. I'm sure there are people who find corporate secrecy policies annoying (somebody finds basically every corporate policy annoying) and would view a chance to flout them as an upside in itself.

Yeah let's ignore that human flaw instead of correcting it, right? Racism doesn't need internet to exist. The issue is that people just take everything they see as face value. That's what need to change. I still remember my teachers that kept repeating DON'T USE WIKIPEDIA! The right thing to say was actually "Don't trust Wikipedia" or even more broadly, "Don't trust everything you read". Sadly we prefer the easy solution instead of the right one and they kept saying "DON'T USE WIKIPEDIA!", luckily students don't listen to their teachers that much and learned to verify their source instead (at least most of them).
I am also interested, it looks a cool machine but seems secretive. looks like stage lighting laser.
"The so-called MeWe private communications network ... doesn't own, track, or share, information its members provide or share among one another. MeWe encrypts personally identifiable information and most of its communication is SSL-encrypted, and the platform was built with Scala and LISP."

SSL has had numerous security holes poked in it over the years. Promises from companies about what they won't do with your data are less than reassuring to the really "ultra-Privacy Conscious". It's much better for the system to be designed such that these companies aren't able to get your data in the first place.

If you are really that privacy conscious, it's probably best to completely avoid the internet for any communication you want to keep really private.

There's a wealth of information out there on pre-internet-era secure communications practices.
Even if focusing on currently uncurable conditions like cancer isn't a bad thing in itself, it means that a cure for cancer would be disastrous for the bottom line of biotech companies that follow this strategy. It's not just a different allocation of resources, it's an incentive to deprioritize cures in general. Any plan to maximize healthcare profit will result in perverse incentives, which is what those "knee-jerk Goldman Sachs is Evil" comments are largely criticizing. Obviously Goldman Sachs is stating the facts, but the assumption is that the choice with greater profitability is the correct one. That that assumption underlies medical research and development is the evil part.
It just encourages and exposes a wider range of people to an attack vector. No one should be actively _training_ people to open random links in an email.

Technically that's just them locking you out of their distribution platform, I don't think they'd have a legal case against you though. People sell apps outside of the app store and haven't suffered any recourse from apple, at least not that I know of.

EDIT: I guess you do have to technically agree to their terms to use the SDK and such, but if one were to get a hacked copy or whatever I think it'd be legal. They can definitely make it very hard to dodge their terms though.

There are rules, regs & best practices (and licenses) for a slew of trades that are not the fourth leg (i.e., Fourth Estate) of a proper democracy. Electricians, plumbers, hair stylists and such come to mind. And while it does not have to be gov based, why not journalism? Can't these (pardon me) meat-heads police themselves?

Aside from news, journalism is another word that needs a proper and widely held definition. A blogger on the internet is not journalism. Lester Holt is not a journalist. Oprah is not a journalist. (Editorial: Shame on you 60 Minutes.)

I agree. It might not stop the lies, but it would draw a much needed line in the sand. Personally, I'm exhausted from trying to rationalize with people who get their information and thoughts from sources they presume are legit news and well-practiced journalism.
