With Barclays you can rely soley on the card reader and disable login using "memorable data". Lots of other banks in the UK offer card readers (of the top of my head, Barclays, Nationwide, Natwest).
Also the entertainment budget is usually the last budget after everything else. And a lot of things compete for the entertainment budget. Of course weee taking about the masses here not the .01% or art collectors.

Those same people are very conscious about wasting their limited funds so faces wirh the product of 10,000 artists they tend to only spend money on the ‘best’ (could be Twilight) which is usually driven by what’s popular.

Things become popular almost entirely though control over marketing and distribution. These days we have a better chance of going viral but the old gatekeepers are still picking most winners and losers.

No doubt.

That's like saying horoscopes and fortune-tellers are stunningly accurate: "a positive opportunity will present itself to you today - you only have to open the door" "you are holding a secret pain that is preventing you from moving on. Find peace and let go"

Where are these figures from? Your emotions, or something scientifically rigid? If the former, having this discussion is meaningless.
Cults are good at this.
Similar thing in Scandinavia. E.g. "tegneserie" in Norwegian => "drawn series". In modern usage "tegneserie" can refer to a magazine or graphic novel, but you can also explicitly distinguish between "tegneseriestripe" and "tegneserieblad" (strip vs. magazine), and nothing really prevents anyone from making the similar distinction with novel ("tegneserieroman" is not used much, but it's a reasonable extension; some also use "grafisk roman" as a more direct translation of "graphic novel" but it's a misleading translation as using "grafisk" suggest something much wider than "tegneserie", e.g. anything built around a visual presentation would fit)
Another thing that's sort of been a pebble in the shoe of both journalism and education (I mean, at some level they -should- be doing similar things, right?) is that they don't necessarily make it easy for readers to find original sources.

A counterexample: if I want to know about the origins of our understanding of geometry, Euclid's Elements is a pretty solid place to start. Or Newton's Principia for physics.

Now let's look at a news topic like climate change. Give me data I can dig through for myself. I'm sure it's available, but it's not something you'll usually see journalists directing their readers to.

Of course, most readers aren't equipped to use the data if they did have it, so on a practical level it makes some sense not to bother including it.

But this raises a deeper question: is your Average Joe Citizen (who is not an engineer, but maybe a barista, salesman, banker, etc) equipped to have an opinion about climate change at all? We take for granted incredible access to information, but outside our professional specialty most people rely on other people to tell them what to think, and those people may be accredited by other people, with various biases, agendas, traditions, etc all the way up.

And even with the people who are working directly with data, there are occasionally political pressures on them to arrive at certain conclusions (diet research in particular is infamous for this).

All that said, I do believe in the value of journalism to educate. But I think a journalism worth paying for will look more like educational material than the journalism we have today.
That sounds like your feed would become a series of blogs by the same authors. Perhaps if kept under the thumb of a responsible organization and editor that could work, but in my experience whenever a respected reporter goes off to create their own blog their writing tends to devolve into fringe posts crafted just to please their niche audience.
I am building a community to help 10 people find a job. Everyday
Hello all,

In the last few months, I have seen many people posting status and updates on Twitter, Reddit and LinkedIn about their job search struggle.

I have been thinking very hard on how I can possibly help them find a job. At the same time I have been using Linkedin, hacker news, producthunt and indiehackers a lot.

So I thought of building a platform which combines hacker news and producthunt like voting system but for job seekers for endorsing them to find a job.

My mission is to help 3000+ people find a job by 2020.

Here's the link. https://www.jobroz.com. If enough people (around 1000) are interested, I will launch the full version of the website.
I would rather to some longer term static patterns especially in summer or winter on large plains in Poland vs more of an unpredictable sea climate in Belgium and Italy.

I agree. One of the most consistently fact-based publications I've found it Financial Times, though it's pretty dry.
I like to view the problem of SS7 as similar to that of BGP. How to add security to a widely used protocol. I think there are ways of moving forward, albeit slowly, without having to mass replace everything.

You can’t do that if you also distribute apps in b2c, because people wouldn’t understand which app to pick, it would create confusion.

Art isn’t a necessity and higher inequality squeezes artists and would be buyers. Growing the middle class would help art. Its shrinking has hurt art. At least that would be my hypothesis.

Incidentally, Gaston is finally being published in English after several abortive attempts, as Gomer Goof

[EDIT: as an illustration of just how weak the comics market is in the US: Gaston, along with Spirou and Marsupilami, as well as Idées Noires, were all published even in Norwegian - with 5 million Norwegian speakers - pretty much as they were published; Idées Noires was also finally translated to English last year as Franquin's Last Laugh]

There are some gems in American comics too, but part of the problem is that they're often impossible to follow with the incessant cross-overs and re-numbering. Couple that with having the choice of either wafer thin issues or waiting for trade paperback collections, and it's no wonder comics has declined into a niche in the US.

It's a sobering story. And it's ironic that Edward Snowden triggered her move from US to UAE operations.

But she started out in the US military:

> She spent a decade at the NSA, first as a military service member from 2003 to 2009 and later as a contractor in the agency for the giant technology consultant Booz Allen Hamilton from 2009 to 2014.

And that's some programming that you don't shake off lightly. So it's not at all surprising that her break with UAE was triggered by operations against Americans:

> “I don’t think Americans should be doing this to other Americans,” she told Reuters. “I’m a spy, I get that. I’m an intelligence officer, but I’m not a bad one.”

That's how soldiers are trained to think.

I'm not trying to imply the situation is perfect, but its way more workable than you are letting on.

In the gnome world, you are stuck with GTK3 apps if you want partial scaling that looks alright, but there are options for web browsers.

* Epiphany has supported Wayland since the time of the dinosaurs. And I know its not a perfect browser, but it (1) looks native (2) starts up in a second, (3) has libva support support for hardware accelerated video, (4) has a built in adblocker.

As for mainstream browsers:

* Developer builds of Firefox support Wayland straight from Mozilla:

* Most big name distros have some blessed(like fedora) or less blessed (aur/ppa) builds of the latest stable version of Firefox with baked in wayland support.

It's as if Lennart Poettering redesigned the family.
As explained in the article, postmodern family clans have a lot of (financial) benefits over single-couple families. But it would be very sad if financial reasons (such as expensive housing) would be what drives people to live in such clans.
Also, after the war the soviets had a vast amount of tanks that posed a threat to Western Europe. Nuclear weapons were seen as a way of countering that threat without needing to station a vast number of American troops and equipment.
Again. There is an existence proof. I worked for a company in the healthcare space that was strictly business to business it was used for secure HIPAA compliant messages between doctors in a hospital network.

You couldn’t use the app unless you were a doctor who belonged to a clients network.

As far as not understanding what app to pick. There are plenty of companies including FB that have apps for the general public and apps for a subset of users.
No, both our weather forecasting and climate model forecasting are still very very weak and poorly understood. Predicting the future is still hard for us humans.
I do pay - for The Spectator, which stands increasingly alone as a voice of reason in a sea of insanity.
I can't comment on the others, but I'll agree about The Economist. They are hardly without bias, but in general they wear it on their sleeve.
My question is if people are so good at math why are they doing machine learning, especially in practice?

Some very good people investigating it theoretically. But the best young math professors that I’m personally friends with actually do have something of the “elitist math attitude” and will tell me things like they think the ML field belongs in the 1600s while they successfully work in their obscure area of algebra applied to mathematical physics or something

South Korea Updates Its Stance on ICOs After Investigations
It's sometimes just incredible ignorance. You're right a more productive debate is called for though.

Case in point. The BBC trotting out Nigel Lawson as their standard puppet to "balance" pieces on climate change appears to have been about presenting the opposite point of view for balance. From a denier happy to spout easily disprovable fake facts, with no knowledge of the science. Every interview with a climate scientist appeared to come with a space for an unqualified denier. I suspect it's far more an indictment of a sad lack of scientific awareness in the BBC than deliberate political bias. Perhaps inevitable now they've been required to outsource so much.

Far from demonstrating the absurdity of the denier's position, for many of the public, it gave it credibility. For those with enough scientific awareness, yes his "balance" clearly consisted of cringe-inducing lies.

Of course it was made far worse by the BBC taking so long to realise and acknowledge their big mistake. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the memo they had to send around late last year. I suppose cry, I expected much better of them. Maybe a little fact checking too.
Same here, I hope he can post it. Would be really interesting to read what techniques are being used to accomplish the claims in question.

On the other hand, ludicrous value gets assigned to random pieces of modern art. It seems like capitalism introduces notions of "valuable enough" meaning you can sell your art for a living or "not valuable enough" meaning you cannot sell your art for a living. Any art may still have value, but the question of art value under capitalism isn't what you want it to be but what others say it is, and if existence itself has a price, the price may be high enough or not.

If you accept that client change is happening, man made, and inevitable, but you believe the best course of action for the United States is to do nothing...do you argue that cold dispassionate position with people that want to open the borders and eliminate capitalism?

Or do you double and triple down on denial so your opponents are busy trying to convince you rather than trying to maneuver you into compromise.

After all, based on progress so far your strategy has been exceptionally successful.

I'm aware of that. But then that's a slightly different topic - why do some people believe in climate change where others do not? I mean, I believe in anthropomorphic climate change but that's not because I have read the scientific papers and understood the nuance and the data - it's because I trust that the media is at least reporting in the right ball park, even if the nuance is lacking and the accuracy is minimal. And also that it makes logical sense that we can't just pump chemicals into the atmosphere and the sea at our world-spanning civilisational scale and expect nothing bad to happen.

But I think the whole issue comes down to a lack of trust in the media - if I already thought that the media is following a political agenda (or just exaggerating to get more views/shares) and then they started pushing climate change heavily, saying we need to aggressively regulate industries and eliminate blue-collar energy jobs in favour of high-tech clean energy (both generally considered left wing policies/strategies already) I would likely look at that with extreme skepticism.

So we're back to the issue of media trustworthiness. I think media needs to earn back the trust of the right in order that climate change reporting be taken seriously. There's still going to be the issue of industry advocates pushing fake science, but that needs a whole different approach to tackle.
Perhaps you and some others who agree with you can create a platform or organization for de stigmatizing the thing you feel the stigma is wrong for?

Indeed.

Be very clear... people should stop saying sort of generic phrases like "rising insulin cost." It implies the cost of insulin is just magically rising in some odd uncontrolled/unknown manner.

They should say instead "drug companies are raising the price of insulin for profit." Or something like that.

It's muddied because we have to define merit.

Take for example your quote from Slatestarcodex. That's purely about qualifications. Surgeon A might be an alcoholic and Surgeon B might have an incredible success rate. Are their qualifications relevant then?

Anyway the point of the article and book isn't about merit as just qualifications but about the detrimental impact of rewarding only merit on the stratification of society. Changing the criteria for merit just alters the stratification.
I admit, that I haven't looked at Epiphany for a long time, because at the time I did (~2 years ago), it didn't even support SPNEGO/GSSAPI.

The Fedora Wayland Firefox package is experimental for a reason; there are bugs, that would be quite embarrassing for a default browser.
Personally I've loved discovering more and more foreign content on Netflix.

I'm also really tired of this attitude of protecting our culture and worrying it'll be swallowed up by foreign culture. What is Canadian culture? It's always just been a synthesis of foreign culture moulded by our site and situation.

As a Canadian I want us to scoop up as much foreign culture as possible, mix it together, bake it in the oven of our environment, and discover all kinds of new flavours.
How had I not heard of this amazing flying telescope before today?
This is trained on monte carlo based rendering noise, and optionally uses additional available rendering data like albedo and normal passes. So while the idea of using deep learning for noise reduction in general works, this codebase in particular isn't suitable for that task.

One issue is also building large enough training data set for clean vs noisy images. Approaches like https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.04189 try to work around that

Other approaches (like Google's pixel cameras and astrophotography) additionally take high speed burst photos and average pixels to reduce noise, this can be used together with deep learning based noise reduction (or other noise reduction techniques) for better results
Ranma 1/2 was available in the US for a long time at book and music stores. Not sure if that is still the case. Most of those stores are shuttered. Manga then wasn’t nearly as popular as it is now.
Funny, because if you check out Netflix they have all sorts of non US movies. At least in Europe. I'd say a traditional TV network is far more likely to only have US made content.
Surely you aren’t that dense?
It's more about whether this aspect is properly considered. Some physicist think building bigger particle accelerators is good simply because it can falsify more models. However the the quality of those models must also be taken into account.
Shout out to Climendo.

I use the android app and it gives me a simple comparison of 4-5 weather forecasts, an "average" forecast, and a "certainty" (a measure of consensus).

Obviously the average of the ensemble averages isn't as good as having the underlying ensembles themselves, but it's nice to see days when the forecasts agree and days when they have no idea!
They still get named in the end but they avoid some of the fine.

I agree that it probably has had little effect on the site overall, and huge quotation marks as you say. I am assuming they did it for more flexibility with advertisers or something.

For me it is more psychological--there is a fair amount of decent content there, but being one click away from /b/ and /pol/ can be a detriment if I want to share a link or show something to my girlfriend. "Here's a bread recipe that sounds tasty or some /diy/ project--but don't use your work computer and you might want to fire up VPN."

Kotlin is great. But go and try to persuade your company to bless another language for production.

It may be easy when your engineering org is 5 persons. It's much harder, genuinely harder, when it's 250 engineers, and an hour of downtime costs hundreds of thousands. Adoption of another language, even clearly superior and interoperable, becomes a large and costly undertaking.

So "just use Kotlin" is not always possible, and I'm thankful to Lombok's authors for their work.
> I think your speculation about monetization is unfounded.

I think it isn't bad speculation at all - I used to work in the energy industry as a data scientist and I know there are several US energy companies working on this exact problem.
