The problem with this approach is that search engines and other bots have no eye for context. Keeping inaccurate content online, even with a retraction up top, can result in confusing search results and even the propagation of the original inaccuracy. NPR can make efforts to make the correct content appear to search engines and other bots, but it can't guarantee that search engines or bots will get the right net content. When there's a question of fairness, it seems to me it's best to remove the potentially unfair content, especially when it's so potentially inaccurate.
I mean I'd say it's odd but if you're going to have a rule that immediately results in people being fired you have to think of odd/edge cases.
500px to shut down API access
(Text below from email update)

Hi there,

In January, we removed public access to our API. 500px has always fostered creativity with technology, but due to shifting business priorities, we’ve now decided to shut down the API completely. This decision is part of a larger strategic shift—focusing our energy on continuing to build the world’s best photography community at 500px.com, as well as strengthening our asset protection and improving our site’s performance.

As of June 15, we’ll be shutting down all access to the API, which means you will no longer be able to use it to pull images or data.

Questions? Feel free to email help@500px.com.

Thanks,

The 500px Team
The articles mentioned studies, but I can't give informed speculation, have not looked at any of the studies. Will assume the participants who reported irritation are a small enough a population to fall within the range of participants reporting irritation from placebo. So I'll opine that most of the people who report negative reaction probably have not sufficiently isolated MSG as the culprit, even if they are certain enough to convict.

Side note: Latacora intreagues me, I think it's a good aproach to satisfy some security pain points. If things go well in the next few months, I may reach out to evaluate fit;-)
… but seriously, go learn emacs!

After using it long enough, you'll realise that no editing environment even comes close. emacs really is superior to everything else out there: org-mode, magit, notmuch, gnus, slack-mode, all the different programming language modes, eshell &c. combine to form the best editing & development environment out there. From that first moment you write a little bit of elisp to make your life better and for the rest of your life (or at least as long as your eyes & hands permit you to use a computer), emacs really is worth it.

Not using emacs is a bit like trying to walk from Mexico to Canada, with one leg in a splint: possible, but why hobble yourself?
No it doesn't. xor swap works fine when the two values are equal. The problem is when &a == &b.
It doesn't help to downplay substance abuse and mental illness' roles in homelessness (especially chronic homelessness)... He linked two different sources, but there are countless others, that point to both substance abuse and mental illness being noticeably more common in the homeless population...

That isn't to say that this is an excuse for America's lacking response to the homelessness crisis. But, to say the scale of Seattle's homeless population isn't an indictment of America's substance abuse policy and the state of its (mental) healthcare system, just as it's an indictment of dysfunctional urban bureaucracy and housing policies strikes me as a disingenuous assignment of blame.

My point, and I'm not just being pedantic, is that there is nothing to win.

Humans are the most advanced species? By which metric? Intelligence? Perhaps. Strength? No. Sheer numbers? No. Impact on the environment? Arguably (plants, though not a single species, would probably win that). You might as well say we're the most advanced species because we're the only one that cares enough to give ourselves a trophy for it.

Evolution is not a game to be won nor a process with an end or a goal. We weren't here before, we're here now, and we likely won't be here forever. We're ephemeral.

We can prevent actual accidents by making sufficiently obvious disclaimers. The fact that some individuals can willfully ignore disclaimers seems like too weak (and too convenient) a reason to expunge stuff completely. Anyone who is willing to quote from a retracted article without mentioning the retraction can always just lie instead.

Couldn't someone just buy a ticket for another movie at the same time? It's not like the cineplex is going to suspect you're doing anything wrong if you walk up, get your ticket torn, and then walk into the wrong theater. They got paid either way, and if you leave after just watching the one movie, they're no worse off. Not that I'm suggesting doing this, but it seems like a trivial workaround.
As a kid, I hated poetry because school teachers recited (and forced us to recite) poems in an overly dramatic, inauthentic way. I saw poetry as pretentious and frivolous.

Last year, I started listening to a Spanish rock band called Extremoduro (Spanish is my native language). I was captivated by the lyrics, I loved how the songwriter mixed delicate phrases with shocking and sometimes even impudent language. Robe, the singer & songwriter said:

>Bueno, yo me reivindico más como poeta porque lo que más quiero ser es poeta. Hacer una música, bueno, sí, está bien, pero hacer una letra para mí es mucho más difícil, es donde está una canción".

>(I claim myself as a poet, because being a poet is what I want the most. Making music, well, it's alright, but writing lyrics, for me, is much harder, because the lyrics is what makes the song).

This band alone has triggered an unsuspected interest in poetry for me.

This makes me rather sad, even though this is the first time I've heard of the guy.

My first computer was a ZX Spectrum, bought by my father shortly after he was permitted access to us again.

You see, my parents divorced a couple of years before the ZX81 was released, and my brother and I were constantly used as pawns by our (emotionally and physically abusive) mother against our father. She eventually relented and allowed him access, and so the ZX Spectrum he bought shortly after we moved back into his life became a symbol of the serious improvement in our lives.

I will always be grateful for those times.

This reminds me a lot of Jukely.

Jukely still lets you see a concert every day, but there are so many hidden restrictions now that the service is practically unusable.

You can pay by the month, but certain shows force you into a three-month contract. You can pay for a +1, but some shows don't let you claim more than a single ticket (a dealbreaker for me, since I share the service with my wife).

And the quality of the shows has gone down the toilet. I was seeing some big names when the service was new, but now I just get crappy artists that can barely fill half a venue. Of course, all of the sought-after artists have the aforementioned restrictions.

This kind of subscription service seems always doomed to fail.

MS-13 murder case
Scientists have been doing challenge studies with MSG for 4 decades, and no study that presented subjects with MSGs and detected any adverse reactions significantly different than placebo has ever reproduced.

Even the (rebutted, non-reproducing) studies that showed adverse reactions to MSG (in the 80s and early 90s) showed headache as one of the symptoms not associated with MSG (tingling and numbness were more closely associated).

I don't doubt you're able to give yourself a migraine, but I do doubt that you're controlling for MSG.

People spend Bitcoin on the exchanges. They buy Bitcoin or buy Bitcoin to buy altcoins. Some may use with a debit card, but many feel the price is too volatile. Obviously, those that bought Bitcoin at $0.06 don't care, but I think most are hodling as a speculation tool.

I've used Bitcoin to buy ASIC miners because it is a niche product with where the sellers dictates the payment method. There is always less supply than demand, so forcing specific payment methods is easy to do.

He claims all you need is the map, then leaves more offline clues in interviews than on the map, e.g. above 5000 feet, near pine, near a road from which he could make two trips in an afternoon. That is sort of annoying - seems a treasure map /poem should be self-contained.
That's essentially the same problem I've had with what you had a problem. I'm confused.
I think the issue here, and perhaps the deciding factor between 2 & 3 is that the original story names the "alleged author" (basically of the villain of the story) and my read of the retraction is that they can't confirm that the person named as the villain is, in fact, actually the bad guy.

So you can have option 3.5 and keep it published with names removed to protect the "could be innocent" or retract the entire story as they've done.
Services such as Stripe and PayPal indeed serve as central repositories for fraud intelligence. I imagine that other payment gateways also provide a similar function, though those two are the ones I'm personally familiar with. We've operated a small ecommerce business for almost 8 years and although PayPal fees are probably on the high side, fraud has been a non-issue for us.

The best practice in this case is to edit your answer to include the docs as well as the link, so the next user can find the answer in one place, preserved even when external links inevitably break, change, or disappear over time.

A better citizen would have just made the edit themselves to help everyone.

I am not an ML guy, so I'm asking from a position of ignorance. (-:

But what's going on when some of the implementations of a standard algorithm don't converge, and different hardware has different accuracy rates on the same algorithm? Are DNNs really that flaky? And does it really make sense to be doing performance comparisons when the accuracy performance doesn't match?

Is the root problem that ResNet-50 works best with a smaller batch size?

And how do you do meaningful research into new DNNs if there's always an "Maybe if I ran it again over there I'd get better results" factor?

Thank you.
No. CC companies protect the customer from fraud, not the vendor, unless you have really good proof the customer isn't right a chargeback means you loose the money and often pay a fee on top. + if you are the source of to many chargebacks, they'll drop you entirely.
The link to the Oxford PDF supports what I'm saying, that they don't offer degrees in theology. Instead they call the program 'theology and religion.'

See also that even though Harvard has a theology school, they don't actually offer undergrad degrees in theology: https://college.harvard.edu/academics/fields-study/concentra...

It's really no different than going to medical school, where you can take a class on homeopathy and probably even do a concentration in complementary and alternative medicine, but they sure as hell aren't going to offer degrees in either of those.

I think the problem with "not enough information" is that if people actually successfully progress from just using it to text each and count matches, you'll find that using just looks is extremely inefficient in actually finding quality matches. But seeing has how it's stereotypical for Tinder to be for hookups (even though most people I know use it for dating), it's probably justifiable for their intended use case.
I agree with bvinc in this debate: those claiming to be scientific and saying MSG can't cause any reaction are rudely dismissing the real experiences of strangers. There are many reasons for the perceived MSG reactions: other additives in the MSG (like melamine milk in China), other foods at Chinese restaurants (and possible additives in those), all the way to psychosomatic and culture-bound syndromes [1].

There are a lot of "sensitivity" syndromes, and some are associated with genetic issues, some with toxicity, and others with mental health. And then there are questionable diseases [2]. Yes, the sufferers are sometimes vocal and unscientific. Those claiming to follow science shouldn't be.

This weekend (and another in May) has the City Nature Challenge[1], which encourages people to photograph wildlife -- that definitely includes insects! -- and upload the photos to iNaturalist[2], where naturalists will help to identify them. Although I find people usually help identify whatever I photograph all year.

The observations can then be used in research, since iNaturalist sends their data to GBIF.org (the Global Biodiversity Information Facility). For example, this paper[3] used 120429 records from GBIF, which very likely included some records originating at iNaturalist.

I haven't read the paper in any detail, but the researchers probably started from something like this query [4] of hundreds of thousands of bee records, before filtering further.

The traditional practice you're referring to, in traditional publishing, has been around for centuries. It was very difficult/impossible to physically retract a printed article. But had that ability been there (and it probably has in limited cases) it's not hard to believe that given the option physical retraction would have been the preferred option. The Internet now allows us to go the preferred route.
