Ask HN: YouTube is the cutting edge of fake news, why don't Google fix it?
I watch news on Youtube every night. I watch CNN, MSNBC, Fox and others.

And Youtube constantly suggests that I watch what is apparently those same newscasts, but often the news clips presented are not from the original news organisation, they are published by some no-name Youtube accounts.

So essentially Youtube is full of accounts that take the news from the major outlets, and recut it, and then it gets re-presented back to Youtube viewers.

This seems to me to be blatant "fake news" and provides massive opportunity for bad actors to cut the news how they want it cut.

Youtube is a seething mass of corrupted news re-cutters and surely an obvious target for foreign influencers who want to present the news in ways that are meaningful to them

Why isn't Youtube onto this, when fake news is such a huge issue for technology companies?
Program Induction and Synthesis at ICML 18
Sadly, assuming by default (until proven otherwise) that doctors are idiots, and drug producers are comic book villans may be the smart thing to do.

> Purdue has known about the problem for decades. Even before OxyContin went on the market, clinical trials showed many patients weren’t getting 12 hours of relief. Since the drug’s debut in 1996, the company has been confronted with additional evidence, including complaints from doctors, reports from its own sales reps and independent research.

The amount of skepticism here from those who otherwise have nothing to contribute to solving this problem is, at best, asinine.

Is there some kind of glut of initiative and capital being directed to genuinely ambitious "zero to one" projects? If not such harping is utterly pointless. Maybe this project will fail. Who cares? This has historically been a hard problem. Let 1000 flowers bloom.
Makes more sense how you explain it, thanks.
This looks really interesting. I think I’ll try it out for a tutorial session. I look forward to digging into the underlying project as well!
I looked quickly at some online master offering and you are exactly describing the struggle.

Some places seem to charge an enormous amount of money (>40k$) and some other a fairly small amount of money (<5k$).

Unrelated to the price, some are simply a glorified version of a Coursera MOOC with a non personalized experience while some other seem to offer a lot of 1:1 and side project opportunities directly with the TAs and teachers.

This field is in full revolution, but it feels like a lot of universities see this as an easy way to get a couple thousands extra dollar for only posting the lecture videos online.

Belville, Bastille, and most of the 13e are all within the périphérique and are all great places to live and have very little overt tourism.
Unfortunately, the rules meant to preserve the Haussmanian parts beloved by tourists are applied uniformly throughout the city, even in those neighborhoods without tourists which you mention.

There were deviations from the rules throughout the ages, especially on the left bank with the newer, taller towers (Place d'Italie, Montparnasse, Berges de Seine). But these deviations were always one off, pushed through by an ambitious leader that burned off a lot of political capital.

A MS is an academic degree so of course it will be heavy on the theory, and you will mainly be expected to do practical work independently on top. Same as an undergraduate degree actually, at least a good one.

> For example, a continuous integration test that fails if any code already checked into a repository is not “properly formatted” is inherently fragile and not recommended.

As a frequent repo/commit spelunker, I'm gonna have to disagree here. It is better to have this changed all in one commit instead of tacking on that formatting change along with an unrelated change elsewhere in the file and doing that all over the place at separate times. What's inherently fragile (formatting wise) is making a change to a file that does not meet the current formatting requirements and then having it format on save/commit, messing up blames, code review diffs, etc.
Inner Paris is 20 "arrondissements". Tourists are far less visible as soon as you're going to outer arrondissements, I.e. 13th, 14th, 18th, 19th and 20th (except for Père Lachaise cemetery)

Keep in mind that Paris, without near suburbs ("proche banlieue") is only 105 km² and as written, has been mostly rebuild by Haussmann (following Napoleon III orders) in the late 18XX, when I.e. London is something like 1500 km² ... so comparison may be difficult
Any chance the theaters were being rational and it was in fact you who were mistaken? The idea of an app that makes people watch more movies does seem pretty far fetched the way you describe it.

A more logical conclusion would be that you either didn't sell your thing to them very well (as you haven't sold it to us) or that they, being in the movie business, saw something about it that you, being in the app business, didn't.

From Neal Stephenson's Anathem:

Bulshytt: (1) In Fluccish of the late Praxic Age and early
Reconstitution, a derogatory term for false speech in
general, esp. knowing and deliberate falsehood or
obfuscation. (2) In Orth, a more technical and clinical term
denoting speech (typically but not necessarily commercial
or political) that employs euphemism, convenient
vagueness, numbing repetition, and other such rhetorical
subterfuges to create the impression that something has
been said. (3) According to the Knights of Saunt Halikaarn,
a radical order of the 2nd Millennium A.R., all speech and
writings of the ancient Sphenics; the Mystagogues of the
Old Mathic Age; Praxic Age commercial and political
institutions; and, since the Reconstitution, anyone they
deemed to have been infected by Procian thinking. Their
frequent and loud use of this word to interrupt lectures,
dialogs, private conversations, etc., exacerbated the divide
between Procian and Halikaarnian orders that
characterized the mathic world in the years leading up to
the Third Sack. Shortly before the Third Sack, all of theKnights of Saunt Halikaarn were Thrown Back, so little
more is known about them (their frequent appearance in
Sæcular entertainments results from confusion between
them and the Incanters).

Usage note: In the mathic world, if the word is suddenly
shouted out in a chalk hall or refectory it brings to mind
the events associated with sense (3) and is therefore to be
avoided. Spoken in a moderate tone of voice, it takes on
sense (2), which long ago lost any vulgar connotations it
may once have had. In the Sæculum it is easily confused
with sense (1) and deemed a vulgarity or even an obscenity.
It is inherent in the mentality of extramuros bulshytt-
talkers that they are more prone than anyone else to taking
offense (or pretending to) when their bulshytt is pointed out to them. This places the mathic observer in a nearly
impossible position. One is forced either to use this
“offensive” word and be deemed a disagreeable person and
as such excluded from polite discourse, or to say the same
thing in a different way, which means becoming a purveyor
of bulshytt oneself and thereby lending strength to what
one is trying to attack. The latter quality probably explains the uncanny stability and resiliency of bulshytt. Resolving this dilemma is beyond the scope of this Dictionary and is probably best left to hierarchs who make it their business to interact with the Sæculum.

I had a ex-friend(went to middle school with him) die recently from a drug overdose, and when I was talking with his parents on the way to the burial site his dad said that he could take him to any town in the U.S. and he could find heroin, get back to the hotel, and get high in under an hour.

I don't think supply is limiting the amount of drugs that abusers are doing.
> dereferencing a nil value in Go in relatively safe (as in Java), all it does is crash the goroutine.

Yeah, these are exactly the things I don't want to see: production log messages saying that something or other referred to a nil pointer and thus crashed some process. I don't think they belong to modern programming.

Sure, segfaults are even worse since you don't even get the log message, but I still kinda lump both of these problems together as "errors from the 1900s that shouldn't happen anymore".
Do you have any citations or history books you'd recommend? That flies in the face of everything I've ever seen or read, and is not mentioned, even briefly, on Wikipedia as far as I can see.

Customer sues AT&T for negligence over SIM hijacking
Good! I've more and more come to the opinion that the only real way to push against bad behavior on a large scale, is through laws and regulation.

For example, it's disappointing to see the latest line of ICE cars (well, Volvo 2018) still be at the same level (L/km) as my previous, almost 20 years old car (Volvo 2001). Sure, the motor power might be increased while not increasing consumption, but that's the wrong way to spend the gains IMO.
Technically, this wouldn't be treason according to the US definition, because treason is only possible in the context of a declared enemy of the USA (i.e., war).

Also, there is a judicial process in the USA, not a summary execution.

> And when I look at tech salaries in the EU, I'm not sure I want that. Or at least that attitude to compensation.

This the same everywhere outside the US though. Salaries are much lower as the skill ceiling tends to be much lower and there is more skilled labour available.

The US just has a huge amount of investment, a small skilled labour force and a more meritocratic outlook in general (bear in mind, even just 50 years ago, being a manager or not would depend on your family and school in the UK for example, and you wouldn't even eat with your subordinates).

I don't think worker representation would change much there, the Americans already have it so good.

Is this guy for real? That is shockingly low-density. The fair market price wouldn't be anywhere near $1, otherwise the tickets will sell out instantly. What this venue clearly needs is an actual metro station in its vicinity.
Yeah - but employers will see online and give it as much credit as if you'd watched a few youtube videos.

> Standard subway systems have to have much more in regards to fire suppression than just ventilation. The entire tunnel has to be protected from fire damage with insulation, some tunnels have sprinkler systems, etc. These wouldn't be needed in the dugout tunnel.

No they don't. There's no insulation for underground tunnels for subways; just steel liners and reinforced concrete, at least according to NFPA 130. No sprinkler systems. So no difference here.

> LV vs HV

Yes, true. HV cables and other supporting systems are more expensive. So the only difference here is batteries, which are far more combustible than cables in concrete.

> LIDAR cameras

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge, Tesla has removed LIDAR-based cameras in their lineup.

> There are also automated subway systems all over the world that don't depend on the tunnels being lit, and they don't seem to have any issue avoiding collisions.

Yes, I know. And those trains communicate via access points placed on the tracks, each of which are run with fibre and power cables. Now that bare tunnel is no longer bare.

> incline

Sure, it's more flexible. It still doesn't address the claim that this will help make those tunnels cheaper.
This is absolutely terrible.

I worked in an inner-city setting servicing the addictions and psychiatry population as the fentanyl crisis started evolving several years ago. I would see the usual patient every day with no signs of instability, until they suddenly disappeared for a few days and were later found to have overdosed. Perfectly ordinary, pleasant people.

We try to prevent these events by sending teams around to check up on them daily. However, resources are limited and we couldn't closely monitor everyone. One of our patients had come across multiple close calls, but no amount of persuasion would entice him to use his drugs in one of those public injection sites, or to invest more heavily in drug therapy.

I have some hope for injectable hydromorphone programs being offered in pharmacies. Patients would come into a private room with a dose already measured out by the pharmacist. Pharmacies can already offer an unparalleled degree of monitoring since they see their patients on a daily basis.
The Miner’s Perspective on Crypto: Nando Caporicci
The war on drugs is a staggering failure.

Drugs have infiltrated every level of society, from business leaders and politicians to white and blue collar workers, to the bums on the street.

Drugs are causing tens of thousands of deaths a year in the US alone. I dread to think the global total. The casualties of this war are mounting up rapidly. This is before we even count the criminals and enforcers killed in open combat.

Whole countries are on the verge of civil war or just plain collapse.

Yet in most countries talk of reform is either treated disparagingly or suspiciously, as if all the speaker is interested in is a quick toot, or as if they are a collaborator or traitor.

It's sick, it's weird, and it's deeply disastrous.

Meanwhile in Portugal, where possession is decriminalised, things seem to get better all the time.

Nothing about Amazons growth suggests a 'buy it all and hope' mentality. Quite the opposite: Amazons strategic positioning in multiple aligned markets gives them a very real chance at creating significant sustained competitive advantages.

Whole Foods 2030 is gonna be darned hard to compete with without your own cabal of smart app developers, AI assistants, world class delivery infrastructure, and a massive captive subscriber base. And that's before we consider value adds (get anything from Amazon along with your groceries, get your lifestyle groceries via subscriptions, buying whole coordinated lifestyle blocks of products), and, oh yeah, maybe the greatest logistical management system the world has ever seen.

Amazon is making the undies of many a board member chocolate brown for good reason. Because of what Amazon is, Amazon can become very, very, scary in new markets in a short time.
I know this fades them out, whether you've clicked on them or not, but it makes me think about how so many sites no longer use a:visited properly, and just style it the same colour as un-visited links. Each day, web usability takes a step backwards. How many extra extensions do we have to start installing before it becomes usable again?! Sometimes I really miss HTML 2.0.

The marginal cost is likely significantly lower than the ticketed price. I'm sure there is a win-win there somewhere.

Have a look at the letter that started it all. This letter claimed that addiction is rare in patients treated in hospital with opioids for pain.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40136881

The US Veteran's Association noticed that many veterans were living with pain. They felt that this needed to be treated, and they believed that opioids were safe an effective to treat long term pain, and that the risk of addiction was low.

They introduced a thing called "pain as the fifth vital sign". They wanted healthcare professionals to i) always ask about pain and ii) always try to treat pain.

https://www.va.gov/PAINMANAGEMENT/docs/Pain_As_the_5th_Vital...

This led to huge amounts of mostly unsuitable treatment for pain. People in pain tend to reject psychological treatment ("My pain is real, it's not in my head!") and access to good quality physiotherapy is more expensive than opioids.
Yes, I know that. That now means you need a way for the skates to communicate with each other and maintain a safe distance from each other before they collide and obviously slower speeds. That bare concrete tunnel is now longer bare since you will need communication access points, fibre cables for redundancy, etc.
Pretty ironic that a couple days ago there was some article claiming that China was about to collapse because it was going through "an orgy of investment" in an attempt to grow whilst its recent projects did not generate any actual revenue.

It used to be that you could do all those things, get married, have children, and still live a decent life and retire on a pension.
