Who decides what is a "proven source of disinformation"?

The media that are currently paraded as trustworthy were all in on things like "babies out of incubators", "weapons of mass destruction", Libya, etc. And everyone who tried to go against them was smeared as conspiracy theorist.

I can not trust the media that was integral in lying about and manufacturing consent for endless wars, when they have not learned from their mistakes and are still beating their drums.

Giving the elites power to decide what is a "proven source of disinformation" sounds like a really bad idea.
> Two earlier efforts have most influenced the contents of this standard. The first is the MISRA-C coding guideline from 2004 [...]

Not just similar, but based on MISRA C!

MISRA C can be a total PITA though (I get why, but it doesn't make it any less annoying). Some well known storage products follow similar principles without being quite so stringent. It's quite a nice middle ground, and - if you are, err, detail oriented - can be a less aggravating experience than sloppy, higher level codebases (yes, Java, I'm looking at you mainly).
Yeah, because politicians always tell the truth, I totally believe this report.
Germany has had direct debit since the 1950s, Britain since the 1970s, the difference being that as a consumer you can cancel the transaction within 8 weeks, no questions asked. Why the US can't follow suit is beyond me

In the U.S. you can cancel a transaction that you don't believe is legitimate. I did it as recently as last week and as long ago as the 90's when State Farm's auto-debit pulled $2,500 out of my bank account instead of $250. It's nothing new.
Court cases? Ultimately that's where Sandy Hook has ended up.

More seriously, if you believe that it's impossible for courts to establish truth or that they are the same thing as Party members of the elected government, you've already given up on the possibility of rule of law and arguably democracy as a whole.

You will have very low buy-in from women for an app like this because scanning IDs doesn't take care of the biggest trust issue: blind dating means you can't filter out sleazeballs (or bad matches that aren't picked up by algorithms). Harassment, stalking and assault are significant factors here. And then there's the redpill guys who will neg you, the casually sexist guys who will talk over and dehumanize you, the guys who can't deal with their feelings who want you to be their therapist, the dudes who feel you owe them something for going to dinner.. on and on. Likes will "convert" to dates at higher rates (and can we talk about how gross it is to talk about human connection that way?) when users feel safe and confident. It's about reducing harassment and low-quality messages on the platform.

Why don't you build a straight dating app that incentivizes women to send likes and incentivizes men to hold back messaging but perk up their profiles? Like a digital Sadie Hawkins? Maybe men aren't able to send the first message but can only reply, for example. If you reduce the number of high-quantity, low-quality messages men send, women won't have to filter so much. And if you free up women's time and empower them to send likes, they can share the burden of initiation. Everyone wins when we stop trying to "play numbers" and focus on genuine matches with people we hope we will truly enjoy spending time with.
I have a few computers at home. I'd like to access them securely from anywhere in the world. WireGuard makes that easy.
Are you some expert to judge who is right? Or you are some guru?
Just `curl` it, or use something that allows you to ignore certs.
Tunnelblick and Viscosity are _implementations_ of a protocol: OpenVPN. Wireguard is a different protocol than OpenVPN. Not just a different implementation of the same.
To me it seems like China is going to be one of the fist countries where workers will really feel the impact of "robotic revolution". And that will impact (is impacting?) the purchasing power of the workers.

> The difference is that there is also an overwhelming force of true speech to counter the lies and deceit

That doesn't seem to be hugely helping as far as climate change goes. For anything where money is involved deepest pockets counts far more than the "overwhelming force" of true speech. It has become depressingly common to see topics being astroturfed or an "Independent Health Research Institute" set up by the guilty corporate or a trade body, and SEO'd and adworded to page 1. Like Soviet Bloc use of "democratic", use of "independent" in an information site has almost become proof it's not. :)

We need to dream up some life changing consequences for lies and misinformation, serious enough that it stops being standard policy of every medium size enterprise.
Note that LFU does not have the same limits and will adapt to access patterns that are pathological for LRU like circular accesses. LRU is an approximation of LFU based on the idea that last access time is related to the future access frequency of an object. The pathological cases where LRU fails and random eviction is better is related to the fact that such access patterns violate such premise. LFU does not have such limits because it attempts to measure the actual access frequency (smoothed by time) of an object, and uses that as prediction of the future frequency.

Starting with the 2018 models they added a membrane around all the keys that 1) significantly reduces ingress of random crap 2) makes the keyboard quieter.

Before I got my 2018 I had a 2015 MacBook Pro and don't find the keyboard to be inferior or superior to the old gen.
Maybe they will be “brave” enough to put a mechanical keyboard in a notebook?

It's a very slippery slope.

It's easy to talk about training people.

I spent a lot of time training people in my previous job only for them to come back to me with basic questions about what I taught them over a year later.

What was missing was technical leadership from above: the managers didn't realize (or value) the need for the team to get familiar with the systems that they were working on, so they didn't make sure that the team learned these things well, or brought in a few more people who could guide them in addition to just me.

So I use Mullvad, that have WireGuard servers setup. Downloaded the config files (which work perfectly on Linux) and I can't get WireGuard for iOS to work at all. I get the VPN icon in the top left but I have no actual internet connection (on either WiFi or 4G).

Downloaded the TunSafe Client and the very same config files work perfectly. Obviously I'd prefer to use the WireGuard app though, but I cannot get it to work at all sadly.

The strength (and cardio) gains you make as a child will stay. But if you stop training they will go away. But when you however start training again you will have faster gains due to prior training. It all depends on how much you train during your life. While you are the strongest around 30 years old, you will keep most of it until 60 years old if you keep on training. While there are definitely advantages to have been training as a child, I don't think it will be significant when you are 40-50, it will more depend on how active you are during your life. And it's really never too late to start training.
Does anyone know what the business model for these plane tracking websites is?

I assume there's some money in it, because there's a bunch of them: flightradar24, flightaware, planefinder and radarbox24.

I've heard of one or two applications that would need them a lot - taxi drivers scheduled to pick up passengers from particular flights, and hedge funds tracking corporate private jets - but I'm surprised either of those is big enough to support a single company, let alone four of them with their own satellites.

What are the paying customers of these tracking services doing with the data?

You're right, however sometimes trying to shove things out of your life may not be easy or effective. I personally decided to dig deeper and understand why I accumulated that amount of stuff in the first place.

Instead of wasting time trying to actively make this decisions and drain your mental energy, why not try semi-passive observation? I found that putting everything away and getting things that I regularly use from that pile, and getting rid of the least used part regularly (weekly, monthly, semi annually, etc.) works best.

This way also decluttering doesn't feel like swimming upstream, at least for me.

If you decide to allow the government to determine what is truth and what is a lie, and then to punish those that speak something the government considers untruthful, you’re heading for a future that is far more dangerous than measles outbreaks and anti-scientific discourse.

What happens when the government decides that news reports should all align with an official ‘true version’ of current events, as determined by the government, of course?

I'd shrug and move on, but the problem is that I believe that these flaps about AI are distracting attention from the real concerns and forces that are having a serious impact on people now.

The distortion of public debate caused by community exclusiveness on social platforms, by the curation and manipulation of social feeds and by the dynamics of online debate where the loudest and angriest voices dominate is one place that we could do with some focus.

Another place is the management of simple models - plain Jane stuff like a learned classifier - people are making these with Python and R and releasing them into infrastructures and apps and we don't know what they are and where they are and how they are interacting.

Instead we have wizard of oz style stories to distract us from who's actually hiding behind the curtain. If we fall for this then we may find ourselves living in a vicious totalitarian society with no obvious way out of it.

Journalists should write about it in an informed and professional way, that's fine. But they need to write about stories that are impactful and important, and if they were to write about this one in this way ("text scrambler makes a pretty good paragraph one out of 30 tries, has no idea of what is going on") they would get no clicks (there will now be a second wave of follow-ups like that to ride on the coattails of the story). Instead they have to make it sound like robots are going to take children from schools and experiment on them live on TV, and this makes them famous and rich.

There is no real revision of the story because the follow on stories disappear from view while search engines and other journalists use the original hysteria. Look at what happened with the two negotiating bots at facebook (the game was to negotiate to get books and balls, the bots tended to use a short hand to negotiate rather than the english they were trained on) This was "Facebook researchers have to pull the plug on AI that they no longer understand", and that is the narrative that we will have on that story more or less forever.

Ah, I remember how bad this era of Microsoft was.

Debian have a similar tool called "fakeroot" which is part of their packaging process.
Every industry needs prototype or one-off work, which can keep things interesting. Consulting is also an option if you can play the game, or freelancing if you have an inclination with business.

But finding a job that challenges you completely is unlikely to work, and can be a bit unhealthy because e.g. lack of boundaries. Consider working an okay job and using your free time as much as possible. And not every job has to be 40h per week. If you're living comfortably, sometimes less hours/pay is better.

At the end of the day (no pun intended), the benefit of free time is ultimate flexibility. Bored of a project? Do something else for two weeks. Hard to do that at work.

Dream jobs are super rare and usually require a lot more hard work than you think. Media is really bad at portraying this, and they only really portray the people who made it, not the ones who burned out.
Going from an old MBP to one of the new models is shocking. The display is a bit better, but the keyboard feel is not comfortable. It doesn't feel like a keyboard to spend hours in.

While the rest of Reddit was lying about Hillary's favorability, only The Donald was posting accurate polls. They've continued to be more accurate than the other subreddits, most recently with the Jussie Smolett thing. I think at this point people are willfully ignoring reality, though it's getting harder (the Russia collusion conspiracy theory is no longer cresible).
Those are excellent points to consider.

Also, in the favor of SPA's you can consider the horrible state of repeating post requests when users press the back button on server rendered multi-stage forms (like purchasing a flight ticket). Of course, you can just avoid implementing multi-stage forms via POSTs like this and I wish airlines would stop.

If you implement your SPA with a service worker and use cacheable GET's properly, your SPA can work offline and survive temporary network glitches (like on a train) in a way that server rendered apps never can.

This is exaggerated. There is an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and maybe irritability at high doses. Closer to the risks of taking a medication than a street drug.

Leveraging Elsevier’s Creative Commons License Requirement to Undermine Embargo
Nice work. Just read this :-)
The media has its own disinformation. For example the wage gap « at equal work » is the biggest statistical error ever made (never were basic criteria taken into account), thousands of researchers voiced that the way the media presented it made people think women were paid less for the same work...

...and yet researchers couldn’t get their voice to be heard. Given the number of unfair laws and bylaws that were passed on the understanding that women were paid less, the wage gap has been a lie at a huge scale.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!

It does appear to be a "don't hate the player, hate the game" scenario which I do think is worth looking at. I would love to see real discussion with details like the link you presented from both side, and not these emotionally charged garbage opinion pieces presented almost as articles with no sources or credibility.
By coincidence, I'm reading Lucretius' De rerum natura. [1] Lucretius of course is also a materialist. The world is made of "primordial units" which are the indivisible particles. These particles do not have parts. Later Newton picked up this atomic materialism and assumed that "God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles." [2] This view became the official view of nature and is being taught at schools ever since. I guess K. Marx also adopted it from Newton. But now even physicists question atomic materialism. [3]

> Flightradar censors a lot of corporate jets and military/law enforcement aircraft

Yes, this is disappointing. In the past I had seen military planes on there. I even saw fighters practising dogfighting over the North Sea. But more recently I've seen interesting aircraft fly over, such as large four-engine planes at altitude outside of normal commercial flight paths, but they just don't appear on flightradar. It's stupid because I can see the damn thing. I need to figure out an alternative to flightradar, it seems.
