> Biased results? No way. Providing great search is the core of what we do.

Hahah, crazy to think this is how Google used to be.
>Even if we had a probe ready when we first detected the object it would have been difficult to intercept with today's technology.

That's the other side of the problem: we didn't detect it until far too late. We should be able to detect objects of this size much, much sooner than we currently do. We're not looking very hard for them, so usually we end up seeing them after they've already whizzed by. There have been way too many times in the last decade or so when we're informed, "hey, we just barely got missed by some big asteroid, and we didn't even see it until it already went by the Earth!" That's just pathetic.
> But we were told we should only turn on ad-forcing for only for older demographics, who were far less likely to care.

I'm speechless, I just want to put some emphasis on this.

I wonder what other kinds of evil practice they push to this demographic. Perhaps more malware, because they are "less likely to understand them" too?

It's my opinion that taxpayers are the worst people to drive business decisions around education. The median tax payer will only care about education quality and availability for around 15 of their ~40 years as a tax payer.

For those remaining 25 years, they will tend to prioritize money in their pockets over a teacher's salary; a situation that does not align with the betterment of our society at large.

Correct, you could generalise it further as: people believe economics reflects reality, not that they are simplistic models used to facilitate a political idea.

The only economist I've heard of coming close to creating an all encompassing model is Steve Keen. It was through his work on debt cycles that he called the GFC before it occured.

Hi, thanks for the feedback!
Ask HN: Why are predatory YT channels of astrologers, psychics, still operating?
just watched John Oliver's latest "Last Week Tonight"[0] on predatory psychics ... and wondered how this genre of scammers and predators manages to avoid scrutiny in the discussion about 'fake news' and fraudulent/radicalizing content on Youtube. It seems that this is no different and as toxic to already vulnerable peoples mental health, as are the newer conspiracy theories (QAnon, Flat-Earthers, Anti-Vaxxers, etc ...).

I did a quick search for channels on this topic and reported a couple, ... though this will have little effect. Many of them have been operating since a long time which is a indicator to moderators that "society has moved the goalpost" and provides an excuse to keep them alive for now.

When I think of a "desktop" computer, I think of a form-factor suitable for placement on a desk. I can stretch that to include a machine you keep under the desk or even a laptop that is attached to an external keyboard and mouse.

I don't think about the software installed on that computer at all.

Also: desktop computers, in my opinion, pre-date the "desktop metaphor" and GUI environments.
This will never stop happening for any given discipline, however, will it? That's why I affixed the preamble that I am “an economist by training” and was very careful to express an opinion (on somebody else's opinions... how typical of economic debate that is! but I digress). In my experience the most terrifying tend to be the cryptocurrency crowd: I deeply respect their technical capacity to create sophisticated distributed crypto systems, but whenever they veer onto discussions about currencies, economies, “fiat”, fractional reserve banking, and so forth I find myself wondering whether they actually know why the system they are casually disrupting is structured as it is (conspiracy theories abound).
Amazing article!
You can be honest and not be rude. Being confrontational and blunt is orthogonal to being truthful.
I actually like writing documentation, even if I'm not great at it yet, but I struggle to be able to do this well for other people's software. I feel that project documentation, to be done well, has to be part of the project itself.

Half the time I start writing documentation for a feature I've built myself, I go back and rework the design based on what I learned from trying to document it. It's rather enlightening to write "Here's how to do this thing that you'll do 100 times a day...", and then discover to your horror that it takes 14 steps. Oops.

And when you try to document the why and how of most open-source projects, it very often comes down to "historical accident" and "it's like some other ancient system you've probably never used either". There's a lot of features where I'd just write "This next dialog box is useless, so just hit return", or "This thing you have to type is completely nuts, so just memorize this nonsense".

I believe that's why third-party documentation (O'Reilly books, The Missing Manual series, etc) is so successful. It's a lot easier to write (tactfully) "This is dumb, so here's how you get past it", than to go back and fix the feature. And nobody wants to write documentation about their own software that says "Yeah, I know this thing you have to do here is dumb, but hey, it's only a 1.0 so please don't hurt me."
This happens with real contracts too. Even been in government contracting ? Same with large companies.
How the definition of “journalist” is changing
I think we're agreeing. I didn't spell out that I do think consciousness is not understood, it's a mystery, at least for now. The religious solution is to slam some superstition on top of that mystery to make it more digestible.

I know for a fact that up until around 2006 the official US Treasury curve for one of the big financial reporting firms was created/maintained on an Excel spreadsheet that was one step away from becoming sentient and asking us if we wanted to go get high.
I disagree, I think that a terminal implies connection to a larger computer that is doing most of the work. In this case all of the work is being done on the local machine.

That's getting into hard to answer territory: do humans 'more or less recolor different images' when they do art, too? Many people use tracing, copy elements, imitate other artists' styles, and so on. No one learns anime art in a void. All culture is remix. And this is true of writing, as well. Consider Gene Wolfe's "The Just Man" ( https://www.gwern.net/docs/culture/1983-wolfe-thecitadelofth... ):

> From this story, though it was the shortest and the most simple too of all those I have recorded in this book, I feel that I learned several things of some importance. First of all, how much of our speech, which we think freshly minted in our own mouths, consists of set locutions. The Ascian seemed to speak only in sentences he had learned by rote, though until he used each for the first time we had never heard them. Foila seemed to speak as women commonly do, and if I had been asked whether she employed such tags, I would have said that she did not---but how often one might have predicted the ends of her sentences from their beginnings.

You could look through the various sets of samples and the more extreme psi examples and the interpolation videos and perhaps get a better idea of the extent to which the StyleGAN 'understands' faces and is being creative: https://twitter.com/gwern/status/1093701790971953152
For that exhortation to be compelling, these "falsehoods" should come with some justification for why they're misconceptions. If you present me with just a list like this for a field as complex as economics, one of two things will probably happen:

1. If I think economics is a simple junk science I won't be inclined to change my mind, because there's no explanation here.

2. If I already think economics is a complex field I'll think this list utterly sucks the nuance out of it.
> who even writes subtitles?

I do, as a hobby. Typesetting in particular is one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. There are few things as satisfying me as being able to set a sign so that it looks like it's part of the video.

If you're curious, there's a tool out there called Aegisub. Pretty much every fansubber uses it, and it can handle most parts of the process: timing, typesetting, TL/editing, and it shows you a preview of what it looks like muxed with the video (though you do need a separate tool to actually generate muxed MKV files).

> Both are in English, so I don't see why they can't just transcribe what's being said. Instead, for dialogues such as "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.", the subtitle is written as "The devil tricked the world into thinking he didn't exist."

You have entered the wonderful world of Hong Kong bootlegs, which are usually just called "HKs". The people who work on these just plain don't care. They translate the movie into Chinese, and then for whatever other language they release subtitles in, they just Google Translate their Chinese subs into that language, even if it's the movie's original language.

Fansubbers hate them, and if the show or movie in question was never officially released in English, there are some groups who will clean up these subtitles to make them more presentable and fixing the godawful grammatical errors (this is called "scrubbing"). Of course, you're still left with a shitty base TL, but it's at least better than the HKs-as-is, so these scrubs are always just a stopgap until somebody can do a full TL. And there are some groups who will subtitle a series from scratch just to spite the HKs.

The only thing good about these subs is that they tend to turn into memes. I'd recommend looking up the HKs of Revenge of the Sith, which ended up becoming an impressive stockpile of memes, most famously being the origin of "Do not want!". For memes that came out of shows I actually watch, I'd recommend googling phrases like "Don't molest the lawyer" and "Gao Main Bastard".
Uh, what the hell are you talking about?

It sounds like you are crutching on "integrity" when perhaps you need a more unbiased analysis of why you have been made fun of secretly or even publicly, declared dismissive and asocial, instead of positively recognized in any fashion.

You aren't seen as rude because you just have too much integrity. This is such a narcissistic view of the world. I mean just based on this post that you wrote I can tell you that your problems do not stem from an overload of virtue.
This. Being able to run easily selectable scripts on pieces of selected text in my editor is what keeps me in vim. Doing repeatable tasks, filling XML data, gosh, I even keep my odometer book in vim via small hacked together python script.

L. Ron Hubbard spent some time in Arizona in the early 1950s, when legendary hypnotist Milton Ericson was lecturing.

Ericson described a "confusion technique" that is in evidence in lectures that Hubbard gave later in Philadelphia. You'd catch him saying things that somebody might say in a lecture but that people don't. For instance he would continuously say something wrong and 'correct' himself. (e.g. "The Japanese Alphabet has 48 letters, or was it 46 letters?"; quotes around 'correct' because it
was all bullshit anyway)

Have people listen to lectures like that with a malfunctioning tape recorder for hours with high social pressure and structured communication, that will turn their brains to mush. No wonder Scientology practice is twice as harmful per hour as what other cults do.
completely depends on your definition of "crazy". I mean Google used to show ads for a particular drug if you searched for suicide methods that would call for such drug.... that's pretty crazy in my book.

As people flock to become programmers, as a population we will become increasingly technologically literate. Sooner or later we will enter an age where programming is as second nature as writing. Communication at the end of the day is a way to get people to understand what we want. Programming is very similar only directed at machines, and as machines continue to replace people in trivial (and not so trivial) tasks, that will be the lingua franca. And yes, it will be javascript.
I love seeing these kinds of projects, but as someone who currents owns 2 pi 3s and one elgato that are all gathering dust, I hit the wall before actually starting a project because of that pesky "what would I even do with this" thought.

I had no idea there was anything so complicated to soy sauce! Apparently you can buy the good stuff from this article on Amazon, Yamaroku, it's $42 for 18 ozs.

So often I find when I try something that is supposed to be the BEST version of something (like wine for example) I just end of thinking "Well it's different, but I can't say it's OMG great", but I know I don't have "super taster" powers.

Can anyone comment on just how different this tastes from the usual stuff we get at the store or the usual stuff from the restaurants? Is it that much better?

Orange Pi 3 review: A Raspberry Pi rival that's a serious disappointment
I'm not sure I understand that correctly. Are you saying that POC are acquitted or have charges dropped far more often for the same crimes (i.e. have a far lower conviction rate)?
The public doesn't care about those distinctions. So it's useful to cancel out a negative gut-reaction to encourage a more nuanced view.
If enabled, it does provide targeting capabilities (by tracking across multiple key domains).
If you are an amateur beekeeper and not concerned about the amount of honey you produce there is another way to get rid of Varroa. Just let colonies swarm naturally! Because the old queen goes with the swarm and new one doesn't lay eggs for a few days Varroa mites don't have anywhere to breed. That way their population crashes to manageable levels and colonies survive the winter without dying off. And yes, I did control Varroa this way for years. Obviously this doesn't work on a commercial scale due to colonies swarming just when it's time for them to be productive ;)
I really love cwm. It’s a really nice window manager. I used to use Emacs a lot too, but now I just use mg for simple file editing and IntelliJ.

I switched from OpenBSD awhile ago to Linux because 1) OpenBSD is dog slow and 2) a lot of software doesn’t work right with it. However, it’s probably the nicest operating system I’ve ever used.

If you look at the design of java (the fundamental basics at least), it makes sense as lets take C++, but design it again from scratch with the problems fixed:

* Syntax is fine, keep it

* Mixed C heritage creates confusion, lets double down on OO and make everything an object

* Mistakes in managing heap memory (allocating, freeing, ownership changes) are the cause of lots of bugs, so we'll do that automatically (GC)

* Overrunning arrays is bad so we'll prevent that

* Exceptions are great, but sometimes it's unexpected that a function is going to throw one - put it in the type signature

* Having to compile for lots of different targets is a pain, so lets provide one common abstraction layer so that our code will run anywhere (multiple desktop OS's, Web, embedded)
Pretty much this, I'd say. I know people who like its design and find it very comfortable. I'm definitely not one of them but fortunately no one heeded the calls to just build one desktop environment to rule them all :).

> In America, the media narratives about race are entirely sympathetic toward minorities. I would also appreciate a citation for the implication that poor white Americans are somehow more racist than other Americans (esp other poor Americans).

That may be starting to shift, but it is not true that American media is more sympathetic towards minorities.

"White Americans overestimate the proportion of
crime committed by people of color, and associate
people of color with criminality."

"Many media outlets reinforce the public’s racial
misconceptions about crime by presenting African
Americans and Latinos differently than whites
– both quantitatively and qualitatively. Television
news programs and newspapers over-represent racial
minorities as crime suspects and whites as crime
victims. Black and Latino suspects are also more likely
than whites to be presented in a non-individualized
and threatening way – unnamed and in police custody."

This, exactly. As technology continues to move forward and make things even more efficient, I would expect this gap to continue to widen. I'm confused as to why anyone would want it to remain linked. As the gap widens, the demand for Universal Basic Income will rise and gobble up the working class and, eventually, even the most complicated jobs, until money is considered worthless and all basic needs are met by robots. Given the option to have robots do all the work and humans reap all the benefits (besides skynet), who wouldn't take it?

Ancient Romans, Chinese, and many others practices astrology and other forms of divination. In fact, until
the last 3000 years or so, exorcism was the first line treatment for most medical conditions.

Those practices were the backdrop for religion as we know it today so if they come for the Astrologers now, when will they come for the Rabbis, the Imams, the Priests?
