I don't think the analogy holds. Organization-backed news is not to free/single-publisher news as corporate software is to free software.

Free, single-producer news is, if we want to try to adapt this analogy (perhaps past the breaking point) more like free software that only has a single developer/maintainer. We all know what those projects can be like. There are some diamonds in the rough, but overwhelmingly they're hyper-specific, difficult to modify, hard to question (file issues with), and often of dubious quality.

Edit: The analogy also falls apart: I'm not sure how going from single-maintainer -> multiple contributors has a parallel in the blogging/tweeting world that is doable for many writers. Some blogs have informal editorial boards and groups of publishers who edit each other, but most multi-writer blogs I've seen are just separate threads that happen to appear in the same place.

How to calculate a DynamoDB item’s size and consumed capacity
That's true. Being able to undo an authorised payment if the other party doesn't fulfil their end of the bargain is absolutely an advantage over other forms of payment.

In the Deliveroo case, however, it's the inherent insecurity of credit cards that made that problem possible in the first place. In light of that, the ubiquity of credit cards for online payments where data is so easily copied and leaked, never ceases to puzzle me.
(I work in a bank with unsecured loans).

There is a saying, you can accept any customers you want as long as the price (interest rate) is correct. As a group you can manage this pretty well. For some segments of unsecured loans the default rates are high enough to warrant those interest rates. The customers who score better gets lower rates as there is competition in the market and they often shop around. Having too high rates gives a lot of not taken up loan offers which the managers hate.

Car loans are almost impossible to lose money on especially the secured ones. It becomes a question of "how much can a person damage a car before it being repossessed". Usually the car is fine and one gets the money back as long as you don't loan out more than you expect can be recovered after said damage. That's why you can give so low interest rates. Unsecured car loans are much more expensive and often requires full coverage insurance.

So yes, one can give out loans to lower interest rates than 15% but then you have to cut off the lower scoring customers that would not be profitable with that rate.

I looked through it and I have to disagree, the skin tones are all dark. There is no reason to call that racist though, maybe the author just doesn't see a lot of white people in whatever country they live in.

Pretty sure titles like "Pewdiepie is a Nazi" is not considered good reliable content.

Good content, sure.

Reliable, not so much.
You are talking about one story. I'm talking about news in general. I don't think most journalists are deliberately lying most of the time, but it's much more likely they suffer from confirmation bias - that's something we are all subject to, by the way. But journalists should go the extra mile, it'S their job after all: they are not supposed to be activists.
If you're running this regularly (e.g. once an hour) to dump tables the cost of Glue can really add up due a minimum runtime length.

> This is why I refuse to play the Discover Weekly playlist. I strongly believe that Spotify is getting money out of made up artists, with songs put up by algorithms in some way, and that's the best way to get them to you.

Flesh this out for me, because it's hilarious. How are Spotify making money from that, exactly? I listen to Discover Weekly most weeks, and if Spotify is generating them, then:

A) They're creating some amazing music, so more power to them

B) They're putting a hell of a lot of work into creating back stories for these bands

I used to work in finance. People don't like finance because 99% of the time if there's a relationship involved we wouldn't have to compete on price.

It would be obvious if someone's shopping around a loan, to the extent that it was very easy to get a broker to send over a competitor's offer sheet so you could compare.

People hate finance because at the core it's sales and you make your keep by being predatory since everyone does it. If you don't, you sink.

Right, 12 is 0 on AM/PM clocks. Once you get to understand that, it's easy to reason with (though 24-hour clocks are the far superior siege weapon).

00:00 is not ambiguous, though. There is no such date on 12-hour clocks (there's no zero! Just 12…), and on 24-hour clocks it's unambiguously the beginning of the day (24-hour clocks are zero-indexed).

In fact, 00:* dates are consistently unambiguous, because they don't require you to define whether you're using a 12 or 24 hour clock. I think you're thinking about 12:00 on 12 hour clocks.

Doesn't advertising largely play to aspiration? Isn't that largely how we live our lives? I'd bet most people who look at a guy in a Ferrari don't think "he looks good in that car!" They think "I'd look good in that car" or similar.

It's tough to appeal to everyone, especially with images like this. Therefore isn't the safer bet to go for a 'middle of the road' aspirational image that's _close enough_ to the target demographic the product is generally associated with and for the most part doesn't offend or put off anyone, even if it doesn't exactly hit the mark?

My local city's best-selling, and supposedly most prestigious, newspaper is always publishing pretentious opinion pieces about the problem with fake news and how we must trust well-established outlets with professional ethics, etc. like themselves. They have even organized debates on fake news and so on.

Then you open that newspaper, and most of what they publish about the city is inflammatory pieces bashing the current city government, which are based mostly on lies. For example, blaming on it decisions from other administrations where it has no competence at all, or even decisions from the previous, opposing city government (which they praise because that party gives newspapers more subsidies). I have even read news about physical objects (a pedestrian crossing, a streetlight or whatever) that you could just go and see with your own eyes that they were plain false, describing things that just outright hadn't happened, no discussion possible.

In national or international newspapers it's more difficult to calibrate the trustworthiness of a news piece, because they involve stuff that happens far away, but every time I see a media outlet riding the high horse of "the internet is full of fake news, trust us instead", I cannot help thinking about the case of this newspaper and not trusting at all.

I'd rather read opposing opinions from people who at least acknowledge to be biased, and then form my own view, than trust supposedly unbiased news that are probably as fake as whatever bots spew.

Disclaimer: I'm not even much of a supporter of the current major, I didn't even vote for him, although next election I probably will just out of disgust for that paper's shameless manipulation.

Rarely is the term "rest in peace" as fitting.
The rare instances where police plant drugs on suspects likely happens more often than it's caught, and planting DNA at a crime scene or asserting they got their sample from the scene is only marginally more trivial.

How is an investigator asserting that they found the trace DNA from hair or saliva they are presenting as evidence at the crime scene any different from any other assertion?

While these are exceptions, horrible abuses have already been committed by lying forensic specialists. In Canada, we had a forensic lab fabricate drug use evidence against mothers, who ended up losing their children. http://projects.thestar.com/motherisk/ , similarly, a pathologist was charged for fabricating evidence as well, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Smith_(pathologist) .

Almost failed over and over again.

Jobs was afraid the Apple 2 would get obsolete fast.

Made the Apple 3. That computer was so FUBAR they wouldn't let you try it at the computer store because it might burn up.

Made the Apple LISA, way too expensive.

Made the Mac with just a lot of memory to be useful.

Apple bet on the the wrong horse, Motorola didn't want to make the 68k anymore.

Meanwhile the 6502-based Apple 2 series had lasted longer than anyone had expected. Apple cripples the Apple 2gs so you will buy a more expensive mac. In an alternate timeline the Apple 2gs might been gradually upgraded and take the place of the PowerPC Mac. But no...

PowerPC Macs struggle through the 1990s. The web gradually destroys Mac OS Classic. The OS that was designed to shoehorn an impossible demo into 128k of RAM was designed on the assumption that events rain in slowly from the keyboard and mouse. Add the internet to that and you find it is all a mess of race conditions.

Add locks to avoid the race conditions and you don't have so many crashes but then the computer is always freezing up for a few moments here and there...

Apple tried to modernize the operating systems a few times, took Mac OS X as a last ditch effort, succeeded.

Then PowerPC became unviable, Apple switches to Intel.

Apple uses the Mac as a springboard to launch the iPod, then the iPhone.

The Mac suffers from the dominance of the iPhone much as Apple 2gs suffered from the Mac.

Apple harvests from the Mac brand, focusing on "thin and light" at the expense of everything else.
