> Although it should have been obvious that the Babylon Bee piece was just a spoof of the ongoing political brouhaha over alleged news media “bias” and “fake news,” some readers missed that aspect of the article and interpreted it literally. But the site’s footer gives away the Babylon Bee’s nature by describing it as “Your Trusted Source For Christian News Satire,” and the site has been responsible for a number of other (usually religious-themed) spoofs that have been mistaken for real news articles.

So, looking at your complaints again:

- The article _is_ false, it's just also satire, as Snopes points out.

- That is a claim. See above.

- Instructing FB on the truthfulness of media _was literally their job_.

- What are you talking about.

- Yes, they checked facts in this case.
I find it a little hard to believe this was just because of the survey...
So if I do something different than what is described ("tapping the side"), I will get the desired effect? So they aren't wrong, they just decided not to exhaustively try out every method of tapping on a soda can?

Tapping-on-the-bottom-with-near-painful-force is definitely not what people mean when they colloquially claim tapping on a soda can settles it down.
I also work for Intel and I'd attribute this to the two very distinct tracks that are laid out, either the technical track to Principal Engineer, Fellow, etc. and the people track from manager, VP, etc. A LOT of people end up stopping after 3-4 promotions because it takes a lot to reach the final stages of this track but it provides a really robust pathway for people who want to have technical/people influence on dozens or hundreds of engineers but not necessarily thousands.
Note: we also sponsor US working visas (H1B) for people that are extremely talented!
> Virgin Trains USA LLC, operator of a new east-coast Florida passenger express train, hopes to raise about $500 million in an initial public offering in coming weeks that would value the company at about $3 billion. Its line connecting Miami and West Palm Beach is the first major private intercity rail service built in more than a century (it was called Brightline until a recent re-branding).

It looks like the first leg will connect Miami and West Palm Beach. However, the existing Tri-Rail system already does that http://www.tri-rail.com/ . I don't see how another rail system would be viable.

The Miami to Orlando connection does look interesting, but from the article it seems it would be the second phase.
For how long? Have you seen the elites arising from the revolutions you point out? I wouldn't even dare say that those revolutions were even driven by "common" men, they were at best fooled at worst tricked by the drivers of the revolutions.

SoPost | Platform Engineer | Full-Time | ONSITE | £30-40K | https://jobs.sopost.com/programming-engineer
SoPost is on a mission to build the world’s best product sampling platform, and we are hiring into our platform team. We are currently seeking engineers (design, operations and programmers) to expand the team to help with the growth of our business.

We’re looking for functional programmers to join our Platform team.

We have built our platform on functional languages (mostly Elixir), so you will need to be a confident programmer and ideally with some experience of functional programming. You do not have to know Elixir, but you should be able to demonstrate that you understand functional concepts in whatever language(s) you currently use.

You should be able to pick up new languages quickly as you will be expected to work in Elixir. We will provide you with suitable training experience during the first half of your probationary period to aid your transition from your current functional language to Elixir.

This role is on-site at our office in Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom. There is some potential for this position to be based in Edinburgh.

You can find out all the details and apply here: https://jobs.sopost.com/programming-engineer
> The Family Tree database is free to access and can be used by anyone with a DNA profile to upload, not just paying customers.

But the terms claim you are only able to upload files which are "my own or belongs to someone for who I am legally authorized to act." If FBI agents are creating accounts and then uploading DNA which doesn't belong to them, that seems to me to violate the terms.
Looking at your website I think your company seems really cool. As somebody living on the other side of the country though how hard would it be for me to come to NYC as an intern?
> Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (37.5%)

MLSE owns every Toronto pro sports franchise except the Blue Jays. (The Blue Jays, it turns out, are owned by Bell's competitor, Rogers.) But if Bell Canada only owns 37.5% of it, logically we only need to boycott 37.5% of the MLSE teams. Starting from the educated guess that the Maple Leafs are almost half of MLSE's value, the next biggest chunk--probably the closest to 37.5%--would be the Raptors, with their Canadian Football and MLS teams taking up the remaining sliver of value.

So, just boycott the Raptors and it'll work out.
You seem like an awfully reasonable person. I figure that I should say what prompted my response was having read about agrarian suicides blamed on subsidized goods, India in particular. A quick search makes it seem pretty common.

> Not true, probably for a majority of people. Alumni networks and family connections are not the norm.

Networks don't magically appear, you need to work on building them.

> Is there any proof of this? Every Fortune 500 company and a vast majority of successfully-executed projects beg to differ.

I don't have any proof other than my own experience. As to your second sentence, what on earth are you talking about?

> Because by-and-large it works? For every Valve there are countless shuttered "unstructured" companies that floundered due to bad management and lack of ownership.

There is no problem with structure. You already have it with architects, leads, principals and others. The problem is too much bureaucracy.
If you want modern hardware, mate a 7" tablet to a Cherry G84 compact keyboard. Otherwise resurrect a netbook.
Why stop there. Next restore the glory of the horse drawn carriage.
This is true, by virtue of the fact that industries cannot have intentions, only incentives. Incentives can re-align based on many forces: social, environmental, political, all of which underlie the desire for everyone to keep their jobs and/or keep their stock price high enough fill their retirement accounts.

If the "tech industry" can be considered a single entity, it appears that the incentive re-alignment is happening from all these forces at once.
Nothing seems like a 1-1 Amazon replacement but buying stuff from actual online stores has worked out pretty well for me since I research products too much before I buy anyway.
>still, many leaders don't even seem to understand the benefit of putting such into words, let alone use it as guiding principles.

What you're looking at is a second-generation CEO. Nadellas was bred through the executive training program of an established organization, having received many two-day management courses, and he knows that an afternoon with the PR group is a good idea. This is in contrast to Gates and Balmer, which were first-generation "founder" CEOs.
Poland and Hungary are catching up with western countries. But they are starting with the poorest ones, like Portugal.
Don't you then run into the quagmire of land rights that the California high speed rail initiative has/had to deal with? I guess it's alleviated somewhat by being able to run less populated areas much of the time, but it seems like the kind of thing that's hard to get done when there's already some infrastructure present.
Agreed, but I think it's worth keeping some perspective when people are calling this things like, "The Doomsday Glacier" and discussing whether or not this will make it safe to move to South Florida presumably in response to the projected 3M rise.
Same here. Samsung does not impose anything on you especially if you don't want to use their services you are free to ignore or uninstall those apps. Theres no black UX and theres excessive notifications about transgressions like accessing mic or camera in bg.

Besides all that the android permissions system is broken on a verbage level. contacts permission is often only needed for login, like authentication but also grants permission to scrape data. so you end up with little visibility into what data you are giving up.

People end up rightfully fearing apps asking for contacts and calls and location services, when the apps just need access to some api that is bundled under vague unbrella terms like location services
Maybe we're thinking of different things.

I had in mind just the side of a road that doesn't have parking restrictions. Anybody is allowed to park there.

Perhaps you are talking about a free car park outside a supermarket or similar? In which case, yeah, fair enough, that would be abusing the free parking.
MGH & BWH Center for Clinical Data Science | Boston, MA USA | ONSITE, Full-Time, VISA | https://www.ccds.io
At the CCDS, we're applying machine learning to healthcare to improve patient care and reduce inefficiency. Unlike most healthcare startups, we are embedded within a hospital (two actually -- Mass General Hospital and Brigham & Women's Hospital) giving us access to the clinicians and data we need to solve the most important issues facing medicine today. And with support from Nvidia, GE, and Nuance, we have the hardware, translational expertise, and financial support to execute on our mission.

We're expanding aggressively and are hiring across the org. In particular, the ML team will be scaling and is seeking skilled engineers with varying levels of ML experience, from junior roles for those with less time in industry to more senior positions for those who have a proven track record of shipping product. We offer competitive salaries, visa sponsorship, (unsurprisingly) great health benefits, and a mission that you can be proud to describe to friends and family.

If interested, feel free to reach out (contact info in profile). I'm Director of ML for the org and will personally respond to any questions you may have.
The Flemish would typically beg to differ.
I would think that if they had any connection with them, there would be a Facebook link. If there is not even a Facebook connection, I doubt that the fact that a politician has <some bad thing> sibling that they don't really keep in touch with is going to be a big deal.
you shouldn't limit it to autonomous vehcles, but as the article notes, no one wants to pay for something that was formerly free, so it's politically difficult. but the strategy of implementing it only on autonomous vehicles now provides a wedge for wider implementation later.
> Not even talking about Prussia/pre-WWI Germany in which the most powerful people were a non elected incredibly poor class of generals and civil servants.

Power manifests itself in many forms, whether it be through money or persuasion or charm or tactical prowess. The point remains, decisions are made by the few for the many. And simply being good as something, does not make you a benevolent force.

That now, we decide the criterion is money as opposed to honor or holiness, is of little importance. They can all be perverted as soon as their utility is obvious.
That isn't true.

I'm a mostly web-focused developer that is looking for a fulltime lead or senior position.

I'm really passionate about good architecture and robust code with a focus on maintainability and testing. I've helped greenfield build systems from the ground up at all levels, and I have plenty of experience with brownfield maintenance and development as well. I've been focused on front-end javascript development for the past 5 years or so, but i'm not afraid to pick up and learn what is needed to get the job done.

Location: Northeast Florida

Remote: yes (i've worked remotely for the past 6+ years and very much want to continue)

Willing to relocate: no

Technologies: Strongest in React and Javascript front-end development at the moment, but I have experience with most web-oriented languages and frameworks, as well as a good amount of experience with database design and management (mostly PostgreSQL, but i've worked with others as well).

I think it's less about the leaders of a group than about its members themselves.

When I read about the government having access to identification attributes of the general populace, I recall that a focal part of the Nazi attempts to eradicate European Jews was actually finding them. One theory for why Dutch Jews were killed at a higher rate than neighboring countries was that the government kept religious affiliation as part of its census information. IIRC, the Dutch resistance made a semi-successful attempt to destroy the records before they could be used. I can't find a direct reference to that particular event yet, hence my 'IIRC', but the general context is laid out in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands_in_World_War_II.

I think the point here is that even if a government is being innocuous in its information gathering, what happens if the government is then occupied by a group that is entirely not innocuous? This can get much more subtle than genocide: for example healthcare groups using data to try to remove people with certain conditions from their rolls.

Hello, I also tried adding you but did not work. Do you have the 4 digit tag associated with? Thanks!
It's no different than CMake generating Makefiles or Visual Studio projects, or autoconf generating Makefiles, which is the state of the art in open source.

I'm not saying you write them by hand -- you generate them from the same build description, and the generator can preserve some invariants. It should basically do a topological sort ahead of time rather than at runtime.

The more likely source of breakage is that the user's environment is different, i.e. they don't have a particularly library installed). So even if you choose pure GNU make, you still have that source of breakage, and you generally should test for it. I test my shell in a chroot with different versions of libc and without GNU readline. I need that even though I'm using pure GNU make at the moment.
They do obfuscate, but they still have to follow basic markup rules and can't beat css selectors.
Keeping up with Facebook changes does not even require releasing new versions, as updated regex(-ish) selectors can be downloaded.
I think it's a (theoretically) losing battle to rely on such obfuscation.
Shocker /s

Anyone who thinks that the data at these testing companies isn't going to the FBI/NSA (directly or indirectly) is just plain naive.
That's a great question.

1. Clinical studies move slowly. For example, it's taken years to get approval for psychedelic research, but if there was a crowd-sourced database, people could have submitted their own experiences far quicker.
2. Clinical studies don't touch everything. There might be many people that have tried treatments that have very little data surrounding them (for example, probiotic treatments).
3. Clinical studies have small sample sizes for different trials (aka 100 people here, 100 people there). A crowd-sourced platform could have way more data points.
4. You can't create "mix and match" tests. A trial is very specific to one thing, but what if someone has mixed three different modalities and found that to be helpful?

This wasn't clear in my post, but I want to start with a survey and then move into a crowd-sourced model.
Do you have specifics to share about Oracle clouds. That's the one you hear the least about publicly I think. You at least can get some ideas of the problems of AWS, GCE and Azure.
Software tends to spread from person to person, and any given piece of software in context is usually non-substitutable - therefore I believe consumers weren't really given an option to voice their opinion on product vs. service. Companies started to migrate to service model, and customers had to follow suit, because they didn't have any choice.
It seems that slightly over 10 feet may be better for current cars, rather than the common 12 feet. https://www.citylab.com/solutions/2015/07/10-foot-traffic-la... . See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_diet#Lane_diets .

It's tough to see how to get down to 6 foot wide lanes when there are so many vehicles on the road which are wider than 6 feet. A Ford F-150 (thirteenth generation), which is the best selling pickup in the US, has a width of 79.9 in = 6.6 feet.

Or, consider a family with 2 parents and 3 kids, where all three need car seats, plus room for strollers, extra clothes, and so on. I looked at top DDG hits for "car for three kids" and all of them were over 6 feet in width.

Then there are service vehicles, like garbage trucks, which are well wider than 6 feet. (https://www.reference.com/vehicles/size-typical-garbage-truc... says a popular model is "approximately 102 inches" = 8.5 feet). Where do they drive without blocking two lanes of traffic.

It would also be impossible to use by any RVs. https://campergrid.com/average-rv-length-width/ says "Travel trailers or a camper trailer on an average are around 20 feet in length and 8 feet in width". Others are larger; "Class A RV width stands at an average of 9.5 feet".

Or conversion vans for people in wheelchairs.

These are all solvable, but there's a lot of existing - and expensive - systems in place which would need to be changed to make that vision come true. At the very least you need to wait until people who don't have narrow self-driving cars no longer have the political influence to keep others from kicking them off the road.
The Special Sleep That Kicks in During a Sickness
I'm sure you are, and I wish you the best of luck. I'd rather spend money with Microsoft than Amazon, everything else being equal. One way that Azure could really improve on Amazon is docs/usability, for which AWS is terrible.
