PHP has many built in functionality and modules that are packaged in Linux distros,in comparison JS is very bare bones and JS ecosystem encourages the reuse of 5 lines helper function from npm.

Edit, a culture difference example:

a dev wanted to get the video length in a mp4, so he installed a npm package but it did not worked, the issue was that ffmpeg was not setup in the PATH so he asked me to solve it, I asked to use the absolute path of the ffmpeg binary but that was not an option n the package.

In the end I checked the package he found and used and I showed that it just called ffmpeg from the command line and if we just do that we can pass the exact options we want and not have to install a third party package.

As a PHP dev when I have to perform something is to find if there is a Linux CLI app that does this, install the app on the server and call it (like ffpmeg, wkhtml2pdf, an epub to mobi app, etc) I can trust a CLI app that is packaged in Linux then a random package.

PHP has composer and we use that for third party integration like Dropbox,Facebook,Amazon have official packages that we can grab and use.

Can’t tell if clever joke, or typo
It is undoubtedly satire.
I’m not sure why we need another term, we already have lies, disinformation, propaganda, fraud. News is something true, if it’s intentionally not true, then I don’t see the point of using a new term with the word news in it.
I'm not even necessarily convinced the "non-fake" news is even good for people. The presentation of how content is all together like google news is possibly harmful to the human psych. As it's questionable how healthy it may be for people to digest content of every different emotion together, all in one sitting and it may even result in dehumanization subconsciously. I prefer to read my news from sources targeting my specific areas of interest and not see something negative when I'm subconsciously trying to be positive. I've also noticed how it's easy to nurture a defeatist mentality with negative news, the comments and just stumbling upon it without any intentions. News just feels like advertising, marketing and with some agenda at this point in my life. I think it should be irrational to assume the responsibility is on normal everyday people to be aware of all this. Fake news just seems like everyday "news" that is serving an agenda and is no different when it comes to negativity brought into society.
It appears that this change would only benefit holders of advanced degrees from US universities, and make the situation worse for highly skilled immigrants in general.

If you're busy with a job (and you're posting on HN), you probably have enough money for a tutor. Language tutoring over skype is cheap -- you'll get a (human) chatbot adjusted to your level that moves between tools. And it replaces and is superior to going to a class.

If the prospect of practicing with a human makes you nervous -- well, that anxiety is in proportion to how fast your neurons will be motivated to reconfigure themselves for their new knowledge!

Not reliably and consistently. And it's not a bug, it's a design decision.

There used to be a one to one mapping of folders to windows.
The moment you decide 2 windows can show the content of the same folder simultaneously (which has its advantages), you run in these issues. Which is the canonical view that should be preserved?

Ethinicity is indistinguishable part of our perception of people.

I doubt CIA does official statements like this, but WSJ has their sources. So they make the statements and they don't.

No matter what, CIA must've revealed a method, like the Turks did when they claimed they had a video. But then, it's a Game of Thrones on a very important country so it may be worth it. Maybe we'll keep the oil cheaper for a few years ;)
I think it is a moral responsibility of the satirist to make sure that, if people misunderstand the satire, the result is harmless to them and society at large. In particular, by not feeding the existing stereotypes.

It's like with any other prank. If it does a real harm, it is not funny anymore.
Business can be respectful, honorable and still successful, so that phrase is mostly a lame blanket excuse to not put in effort towards such goals.

> No? I'm not even sure what fields...

It’s an easy strategy to fall back on, you don’t like the implications of a piece of research? Claim the researchers are just propagandists. Make this claim of anyone who finds against your claims, actively attempt to damage their careers due to their obvious bias, and effectively censor any research proposal that doesn’t declare it’s findings as being within acceptable bounds before being carried out. Of course this can be applied to honest and dishonest researchers alike, muddying the waters to the fullest.

> Perhaps the term "actor" is the source of the nitpicking; my belief is that some science is done primarily to be a social force; to push a certain ideology.

Indeed, the most obvious example that comes to mind is this one: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/28/magazine/diederik-stapels...

> I stand by my previous reply...

My take on your position is that you want everyone to lie about the way the world really works in a misguided attempt to make things better for some.

This is damaging in the long term, people can only make the best decisions for themselves if they know the relevant facts. Telling young women to ignore the implications of this letter while also telling them a mixture of “it’s not true” and “society is morally bankrupt because it’s true!” does not help them, in fact it actively makes them worse off.

Because of integer overflows and floating-point operations, the notion of equivalent mathematical expressions is tricky.

fn main() {
let a: i8 = 125;
let b: i8 = 3;
let c: i8 = (a + b) / 2;
let d: i8 = b + ((a - b) / 2);
println!("{} {}", c, d);
}

This program outputs `-64 64` although the computations of `c` and `d` are equivalent.

Here's another example using floating point numbers:

fn main() {
let mut total1: f32 = 0.0;
let mut total2: f32 = 0.0;
let mut counter1: f32 = 0.0;
let mut counter2: f32 = 100.0;

for _ in 0 .. 10001 {
total1 += counter1;
total2 += counter2;
counter1 += 0.01;
counter2 -= 0.01;
}
println!("{} {}", total1, total2);
}

The output of this program is `500041.16 500012.16`, a difference of 25 for a program that computes the same result (unless I made a mistake).

It's also questionable whether even the "full self driving hardware" claim is true, since "full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver" is not yet a thing which exists, and the closest vehicles we have to full self-driving capability rely on vastly superior hardware to that fitted to the Tesla.

Wait. Are you trying to imply that Christopher Blair wrote that article for The Onion? I don't think that's right, is it?

If that wasn't your intention, why not link to an article actually by Christopher Blair and we can judge his writing on it's own merits, or lack thereof.

It's also a lack of clearly defined leadership as well. Maybe because there's so many different 'teams' all working on different things?

Humans, on the whole, aren't renown for their critical thinking.

We have had, what, maybe a few critical thinkers in the past couple thousand years. On a good day, maybe.

If anything, what typifies the human experience is that we are gullible, easily bored, lazy, impatient, selfish, greedy, stubborn, emotional, blunt, bossy, aggressive, critical, passive, fearful, close-minded, and disorganised.

Would it be fair to gaslight then blame the victim?
Wonderful explanation regarding Progressive Web apps
I was going to write up a big essay explaining my thinking but you've summed it up pretty neatly. Ideologies are always based on some level of faith that "if we achieve X, that will make everything better". Id rather use rational techniques to track the outcome of individual policy proposals against some sensible definition of better that could come from a rough consensus. Ideology offers easy answers but rational practises could offer answers that can be proven to work.

Most European countries have near-immediate transfers of "low" amounts (e.g. up to £25,000 for my British account).

Several European countries have an easy online payment process built on top of this.

Sweden has Swish, Denmark has MobilePay, the UK has created PayM (but with little use so far), Finland and Norway have similar systems. These are mobile apps commonly used for transferring money between friends/colleagues, or paying for things from very small businesses or casual transactions. They can also be used online.

There's an example flow with screenshots in the API documentation [1 PDF] for Swish on page 7. After selecting Swish at checkout, a message is sent to the phone app; the user opens it to authorize the transaction.

(And to the GP post: the automatic payments systems in Europe come with strong guarantees. The UK one: "If an error is made in the payment of your Direct Debit, by the organisation or your bank or building society, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society" and "You can cancel a Direct Debit at any time by simply contacting your bank or building society." — the latter is implemented with a "Cancel" button against each authorized company in my online banking.)

Lucky enough, thats not how our society works. You can be held responsible for doing something which harms others even if you do it 'so over the top'.

Even the onion has the responsibility. If they would create articles and people started to believe them, they would have to tell them that it is 'just' satire.

I don't even get it that this 'fuckedup' behaviour is justified by a mental model of yours which decides in your opinion what is 'over the top' and what not.

I love satire, dark humor etc. but i'm only expressing those things in an environment, which understands it AND which is not hurt by it.

And even when i'm very irritated that someone just not get it, IT still doesn't give me the right to laugh about them.

Are thinkpads secure?
I’ve been reading how Lenovo thinkpads are not secure due to something in the BIOS chip. I know about the super fish a couple years back and the claims that it didn’t affect the T line, but some have said that the bios was still affected.

Is this still true today? Is it better to flash the bios and reinstall the OS?
You've misquoted them the same way as the other guy. They aren't saying the car has that capability.

> if you sell me something you say is capable of full self driving

As I pointed out, they haven't said that. They've said it's got the hardware needed for it.

Compare:

This iPhone is capable of 16-way FaceTime calls.

…to:

This iPhone has the hardware necessary for 16-way FaceTime calls.

When iOS 12 was released, one was true but the other wasn't. It wasn't until Apple released iOS 12.1 that iPhones were capable of making 16-way FaceTime calls.

Hardware support is necessary but not sufficient. What Tesla are saying on that page is that when you buy the car, you've got all the hardware needed, but the software that is needed is yet to come, at an uncertain future date.

Right now, Tesla are saying that you've got all the hardware, you just need the software, and the software isn't ready yet. This isn't at all the same thing as saying that the car has this capability right now. Those are two quite distinct claims and I think that page is clear on saying the former not the latter.

If you're saying that Tesla claiming hardware support is tantamount to claiming full functionality, then how do you suggest they describe the situation? Do you think they should be banned from mentioning the hardware support? Does this apply to other manufacturers like Apple as well?
It's not hypocrisy, it's misinformation.

After all, the American public wasn't told they're gonna invade $middle_eastern_country for their economic interest, but for freedom.

And the (US side) costs of war are borne by all taxpayers, while the benefits accrue to a handful of corporations. I'd wager that, taken together, these costs outweigh the benefits. But the (rarely named by the media) corporations don't bear much of the costs.

As for CIA coups, well, they don't get much air time in the 24-hour news cycle, do they?

it's sad when you run a satire site and are labeled fake news simply because people want to believe it (despite several fat warnings on the site that it's all satire). if you follow Western comedians around these days many will point out that comedy has become more difficult than ever.

people are even less able to recognize fake-news which were put forward by their own governments. In the West there are many puppet masters too that pose as investigative journalists (e.g. @pwnallthethings) but are most certainly in the pocket of intelligence community.
