It is important to understand what RT actually are rating here. It is not an aggregate of reviewers selections of best movies ever. Neither is it some aggregate of how much reviewers liked a certain movie.

RT is more like a list of the movies which a lot of critics rated but fewest critics disliked. So you get popular and uncontroversial. These are good choices for movies to show on airplanes.

It is actually an interesting rating, as long as you understand what is being rated.
> Isn't the whole point of democracy "a large enough volume of ignorance will average out to something sensible"?

No, which is why the avdocates of liberal democracy from the very beginning have also argued that an an informed populace is critical to it.

It is the point that “self interest averaged out over the whole population equals public interest”, though, but greed and ignorance aren't the same thing.
Not to people who value values.
So how addictive is exercise exactly? If you're exercising, past the point where you feel physical hurt, because it makes you feel immediately more alert (or straight up euphoric depending), is it dangerous? It's usually attested that too much of one specific kind of exercise (e.g. running) can have problems for certain muscles and joints but I'm not finding a lot on the dangers (if any) of more diverse exercise (where you keep moving with elevated heart rate for a long, sustained, time period, but don't do the same movements every day or every hour in a single day).

> but smaller phones have less room for a big battery

The nice thing about the SE form factor is that it is enough thicker than the 6 and later form factor to offset much of the battery concern. If they made an SE form factor phone with an OLED display (thinner), kept it precisely as thick overall, and shifted even more of the circuitry to the chin and forehead of the phone, then they could get a pretty big battery in there, and as a bonus, the OLED would generally be more efficient as well.
And other times 20 minutes of good luck gives you a windfall far beyond your advantage. The key is playing often enough and long enough and with a large enough bankroll that the long run is what makes you, but that's easier said than done for some people.
There is a great talk by Sonu Bedi of Dartmouth on this theme:

https://youtu.be/PqTYSy_vuRQ

He argues for gay marriage and the right to an abortion substantially on the basis of limited government. The existing regulations are often substantially motivated by religion, which is contrary to the establishment clause ("Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...") -- and outside of these motivations the government has not proffered any credible reasons for regulation.

In short, there is no reason for the gay community to prove anything; the government has no reason for its regulations, or at best reasons proffered in bad faith.

With regards to Professor Bedi's over-arching philosophy, of focusing on reasons, I do have some reservations. In particular, I wonder how he proposes to limit government with only this focus. Just the same, in this case he argues clearly and well, that putting the onus on gay people to prove they deserve the right to marry is a strange place to start from, if we are starting from within a framework of limited government.

If it is a niche website try reaching out to the community it targets. There should be Facebook groups or subreddits for it that you could post a link to. If it is useful maybe word will spread organically.
Well sure. My point was that there’s countless additional factors to consider, beyond just physical structure. Those feedback loops may be slow, but there’s plenty of evidence that they influence aspects of cognition quite strongly. On the flip side, a lot of current research about brain function is built on fMRI scans which monitor blood flow changes to exact locations in the brain, but necessarily at a long temporal distance from the actual “decisions” being made.

So yes I think we agree that it’s all more complicated than anyone can even comprehend just yet.
PSA: JavaScript JSON stringifies Infinity to `null`.
Just a warning. What ostensibly might be considered of type `number` can be serialized to null.

For that matter, same goes for `NaN` and `Symbol`s.

Internet of Things So What? A Farmer's Guide to Technology
because you have to agree with every change vendor make. If they double pricing, you pay twice. If they ban service type you host, you have to stop. If they make an incompatible change in some of the hosted parts, you have to adapt. If you grow too much they refuse to allocate you more resources or it is expensive for you to use them at your scale, it is difficult to migrate away. That is vendor lock in -> loss of freedom and choice.

This is pretty much what Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny de Vito negotiated with the studio that made Twins in 1988.

[1] He tells the Daily Mirror newspaper, "I said right off, 'Don't give me anything, you are taking a risk, let's make the movie for $16.5 million, let's keep it cheap, no one takes a salary. Let's just get a certain percentage, the back end, and then we'll split that.'"

The gamble paid off and Twins went on to gross $216 million at the worldwide box office, making a lot of money for the two lead actors. Schwarzenegger adds, "In the end, we made more money than we ever made on anything else we've done."

There are more details about the deal in his autobiography, I recall that Arnold became much more involved in the marketing of the movie than he had been in the past, scheduling press junkets, public appearances etc.

At $financial-news company, someone decided that they should re-write a few critical parts of the system in closure, partly due to boredom, partly due incompetence. They swanned off, along with 90% of the other people who knew how to maintain closure.

This left a bunch of junior java devs to maintain a ill thought out ego piece.

This logically meant that said company had to spend a large amount of money of contractors to maintain the system whilst they re-wrote everything in the same language.

Unless you are a woman.

I was sadly not surprised when I heard from a friend that she had been groped as a preteen in a department store. Worse yet, none of the rest of us were surprised to hear it. It’s normal and unreported.

Likewise, there are some claims I’ve read that the suicide rate is high because of murders treated as suicide by police (who have their own quotas) and age inflation due to relatives who don’t report the death of relatives in order to collect pension funds.

TLDR: Statistics are based on reported crime. It’s safe but not as safe as statistics show.
Your snark isn't doing your point any favors.
If this was me that should should begin the journey as a frontend developer moving towards the backend. You know, when you have your backend up and running in php, you are going to request JSON from it. So why now start by adding a folder to your web app and in that folder place some static json files with the content you one day wants to retrive from the backend. When you have your frontend working with these static json files, then you can look into how to create a WebApi in php that generates the same json. This way you can do it step by step.

The Case for Finally Cleaning Your Desk
Isn't it a pretty bad idea to have a workflow which involves --force? If it's to keep history tidy, why not just develop on a separate branch and do squash merges?

I'll admit I haven't used git in extremely complex circumstances, but I've always viewed --force as something you do only if you really mess up, such as pushing secrets (and that should obviously be in addition to invalidating those keys and generating new ones).
Interesting topic, but I would have liked it more if only there was a single trend graph.

>Unsupervised learning is the dark matter of AI, as LeCun said. We cannot rely on labeled data, which is expensive and scarce.

This sounds very extreme to me. Sure, unsupervised learning is already bearing fruit (most obviously in NLP) but there are domains where labeled data is unlikely to disappear soon - in many cases semi-supervised learning is a more reasonable goal which will reduce the need for labeling (or labeling-related tasks).

>The first company to figure out how to leverage the massive unlabeled data that is available will win the AI arms race.

This is an even stronger claim. Why are you so sure only one actor will be able to leverage it? Yes, it will be a huge boon but claiming that the first to crack it will 'win' seems very farfetched.
What a Second Flaw in Switzerland’s SVote Means for NSW’s iVote
If you let an arrogant idiot loose on a 15kw CNC machine, they will without a doubt cause a massive injury to them, and given the power to others. If you let them loose on a pillar drill they might get a scratch and a broken bit.

Of course no company would ever let a newbie loose on a multi million pound CNC machine without a battery of training.

And this is where the engineering part of "software engineering" falls down. Companies rarely provide training, documentation or audit trail for junior devs.

All something required if you were doing real engineering.

Although I have immense respect for the effort gone into Antlr and the potential it has, I must admit that on the few times in the past I've attempted to leverage it I've never felt more stupid than trying to figure out how to generate a new grammar and convert that into a parser. No criticism of the program or programmer intended; as I said, it has always impressed me and I want to know how to use it, I just haven't figured out how, yet.

So thanks for posting this; I'll give Lark a shot and see if it's structured the way my brain needs it to be to grok it.
> The smaller bullet is the point. A 7.62mm bullet is overkill if you're aiming at a person less than half a kilometer away.

Some time ago there was some drama wrt 5.56 being too ineffective, as well as having poor ballistics at longer ranges, and there were a bunch of intermediate calibers designed such as 6.8 SPC and 6.5 Grendel. Did anything ever come out of this (or, was it always just an internet gun nut dream?), or was the 855A1 improvement enough that the headache and cost of a caliber change was discarded?
Yes, but everybody is (deliberately?) ignoring that point.

> they reliably vote out parties that are in power when things go badly.

That's not at all the case, and even to the extent it is it is frustrated in separation of powers systems like the US, where the faction voted out will often be the one least responsible for the problems, since three are multiple factions in power at any given time a day the ignorance leads to blaming the wrong one.

Table-based layout can screw up screen-readers, I assume it's still 'tabulated but non-tabular'. Way back screen-readers used to assume the first tr contained th even if it wasn't marked up that way.

The answer is (partially) provided in the article:

"But he admits that this [use of sewage in the film] puts off distributors, whom he has accused of "trying to copy exactly what is done in the West and exactly what is done in Bollywood and Hollywood". "I'm going to show the world the kind of life we enjoy or we grew up in," Nabwana said in an interview for the 2012 documentary Wakaliwood. "It's called a ghetto life but you know it's good… and it's hostile."

In a sense, you, and perhaps we as well, are the directors being referred to here. We're trying to build something that could become a global juggernaut, so we can be prone to making the product excessively complex, because that's the way it seems like things should be. Nabwana on the other hand is of the '1000 true fans' variety. As long as the he continues to deliver what entertains them, it doesn't matter if the movie was made for $200. With each additional movie, he improves upon his craft.

Good luck to them if course, but I am not sure this will work. Couple of reasons come to my mind:

1. How will I know that news have been reviewed by qualified people? Technically this should be news agency/source's job.

2. By the time the score will depict the news' quality, the damage may be already done.

3. RT is based on people's opinions, but news should be fact checked.

What I think it should do, is to score the publishers instead... some kind of publishing performance history. Although the most effective would be to have some kind of liability for spreading/posting fake news, this would make publishers to do more fact checking before fast publishing.

All above is just my IMHO.

>Is Kalashnikova the first open source rifle in the world?

Eh. Kinda. The USSR spread that thing around the world. The platform isn't as friendly to modularity as the AR platform is. The AR was also specifically designed to be manufactured at scale by Soviet industry circa 1947. This resulted in a lot of design aspects that favor systems that do the job without requiring precision over precision manufacturing. Look up "shovel AK" and read the thread if you want to see how little the AK design cares about precision.

So yes, it's "open source" but it doesn't embrace the modular philosophy that most open source software does. The AR platform was not originally open source but the patents have long since expired so it basically is. That's the difference with physical things, if they don't change they can only stay closed source so long.

If you are going to have a Google Map on a contact us page it is better to not bother.

A static map may be underwhelming for the tech people but it is better. No need to load the Google plugin so +3s page load, so better search. Plus, if someone wants the map the link around the image can take them to Google Maps and they can then type in directions, see your reviews and bring actual business your way.

Cutting down the bloat helps, sometimes simpler is better.

At the moment I have a project where I am trimming the maps out of the footer of the home page.

The static maps I am putting in place have been saved with srcset images so the pin is in the middle with mobile and off to one side with desktop. mod_pagespeed does the image resizing so that the images a customer sees are always bandwidth friendly. Why have 3s of download (or more) when you can have a 12k image come down the same http2 connection?

At this point in my life I have gotten sick of almost every recipe I read and every meal I order in restaurants tasting like garlic. It is such a stereotypical "chefy" ingredient that it's become a crutch.

The last 3 restaurant meals I've had were different dishes from different restaurants with different cuisines, but thinking back on them, they all essentially tasted like garlic. It is prominent even when the cook tries to use it as a background flavor and it seems it cannot just be an added note or accent; in my experience it always ends up taking over the dish. It might be called "chicken breast" or "spaghetti" but in terms of taste it's really garlic-y chicken, or garlic-tasting tomatoes on top of pasta.

I don't remember how I ran into this article, but I found it somewhat vindicating.
