>Bad X have you fooled with propaganda, but NATO and EU will sort you out with the truth

You're overreading intent where there is little. How else could one state the bare fact that NATO and the EU have started these efforts ? Facebook didn't "say" anything beyond showing the EU anti-fake news ads in EU countries. Feels like you're really fishing here.
I wonder if mender could help improve security of docker images that run Alpine OS? I'm not too familiar but I thought I had seen some mention that docker images with alpine OS have had some vulnerabilities. Maybe something like this? https://snyk.io/blog/top-ten-most-popular-docker-images-each...
^ This. Mediocre performance. Slow startup. Poor UI. Crap like Pocket.

I'd be more inclined to use Firefox if it didn't feel so clunky, didn't keep trying to push Pocket on me, and took a more aggressive stance fighting against web annoyances and adtech.

Heck I might consider switching to Firefox if it could actually, reliably block autoplaying video - something that Safari and Chrome seem incapable of doing.

I have the impression that no-dealers generally believe that all EU membership benefits can be attributed to things other than the EU, or that they can force the EU to provide all important benefits post-Brexit regardless.

I mean, perhaps there’s someone who wants it so much they’re fine tearing up the residency and employment rights of 10% of the workforce while simultaneously messing up most import and export oriented businesses — tourist, service, industrial, and fishing/agriculture — and that having no further access to medical radioisotopes is a small price to pay for leaving Euratom, and who think it’s great (or at the very least ‘fine’) that the UK has already not only lost 10% of the value of the currency but also had a capital flight of approximately 20% of non-land assets…

But I think most of them hear stuff like that and say “project fear”.
Reminds me about the role of the Court Jester in monarchies; to speak the truth when no one else will.

Tho I wonder how much of this actually translates to modern times, as in: How much impact do these "political comedians" actually have?

Case in point: German political satire has a very long tradition, but when looked at it bluntly it's pretty much just "comedians" telling people about the roots of problems, and all kinds of corruption, and people mostly just laugh at it, while nothing actually changes, it's all kind of absurd.

In that context, it often feels much more like an "overpressure steam valve", giving people at least the impression of awareness, while nothing is actually done about the issues themselves.
Oh I saw one of these facing SW in Calgary (from the NW of the city) a about 11 years ago.

It was amazing. I wasn't unsettled—more surprised. Assumed it was a meteorite burning up close by.
If you believe that, in the end, good prevails over evil (which maybe you don't); if you believe that stacks of lies create a house of cards that must come down eventually; if you believe that the truth always comes out; if you believe in karma or just deserts - then, by acting out of solid principle (universal truths like being honest, loving your neighbor, forgiving your enemy, service of others) you will in the end encounter peace, prosperity and salvation - regardless of how others treat you, regardless of the cards you are dealt in life, regardless of whether information from others turns out to be good or bad.

You might worry that a friend (or newspaper) is taking advantage of you. But if you allow that to make you cynical and selfish with your own actions, it won't lead to good things.
"Question everything" doesn't mean never accept anything. It means not to take it at face value. It means "Check if you can get independent corroboration". And it's not literal. I'm sure he does trust map makers.

People in my life have ended up in the national news for various reasons. The first time it happened was the first time I really read the news heavily. You learn a lot from doing that:

Plenty of clearly wrong reporting. I say "clearly" from a personal perspective - I knew the people involved, and knew details about their lives that the news just plain got wrong. This wasn't malice - it was sloppiness. The interesting thing is that once one major news organization reports it incorrectly, others follow suit. In a few cases, some of the smaller (regional) news outfits actually got the details right.

When you see that happen in front of you, then of course you'll be skeptical of whatever else you see on the news. And it's not trivial to corroborate from multiple sources, as they often copy from one another and invest very little in independent fact checking.

The corollary is:

When a story isn't big enough (e.g. it gets only one news story and isn't stretched out over time), you really should just ignore it, as you have no way to verify the information.

If you examine the news a lot, you'll realize that for most stories, there is little incentive to get the details right - especially if there aren't powerful counterforces. If the NY Times decides to write a sloppy story against Apple, then Apple is big enough to counter. And even if they didn't counter, other news agencies will have an incentive to counter.

Of if you have a story on a polarizing topic, you can expect pushback and fact checking.

But when you have a story about someone who isn't famous getting arrested for some misdeed, and even if it becomes national news, likely no one will call out sloppy reporting - as long as it is not a polarizing issue. And most news stories are one-offs.
> A number of studies found that they only help for a few months, while they're new.

Interesting, that kind of surprises me. Without going to research it right now, I wonder how/if the efficacy is affected by things like going through them in tandem with a partner, or doing them out loud or with exaggerated physical acknowledgements (like the Japanese train drivers who point out signs/notices along their route as a way to maintain focus on those notices).

People in the military tend to marry early, at least partially because there are a bunch of benefits that the military provides to spouses. If you get re-assigned to a base across the country, the military will pay to move your spouse, but not your girlfriend/boyfriend. If you need to be picked up from the base after work, that's a lot easier for a spouse to do (they have an ID) than a girlfriend/boyfriend. You also get a bigger housing stipend, they get medical benefits, etc. If you're in a long-term relationship anyway, there's a big financial benefit to making it "official".

> 'checklists are very very good. You should really use checklists'

If you stop at that you miss a big part of the book where he describes that not all checklists are equal, what makes checklists useful (i.e. you should not state the obvious in a checklist and he goes at length to explain why), and how you spread the usage of checklists in an organization. That's a lot more important than "checklists are very very good".

So, the interesting thing about this isn't that it is producing neutrons from a tabletop fusion device (been there, done that), but that it is using gas/plasma flow to stabilize the Z-pinch. This is a different approach than the simple Z-pinches used in Sherwood. I wish them luck.

Also, since this is HN, I should note that it appears that the group that is doing this research is raising series A funding (see: https://arpa-e.energy.gov/sites/default/files/03_SHUMLAK.pdf , last slide)

Yeah, I'm not really sure where that narrative even comes from - I don't think we can argue that the country is being "dumbed down" while Stanford, etc don't have trouble filling their freshman class.

Ironically, the people perhaps pushing the narrative are often themselves HYPSM grads and beneficiaries of elite status. Same with the folks who claim "the college you go to doesn't matter".
I think the class is more about analyzing data:

The problem is that is exactly the case. There are people who love doing heroin, shitting on cars, smoking meth, terrorizing tourists, and committing minor property crimes and acts of vandalism. It takes a certain amount of activism to enable that behavior. That activism is the opposite of apathy.
vmware runs fine on macbooks
Apple in talks with potential suppliers of sensors for self-driving cars
I am not surprised. I was working in an open-plan office for a few years, and I also preferred talking to colleagues sitting only a few meters away via mail. It's incredibly stressful to talk to a person face-to-face knowing that everyone on the team listens to the conversation. Not only do you have to constantly weight and evaluate your sentences, you also have the constant feeling that you are disturbing other team members just by talking. On the other hand, you also don't want to drag a person into another room for privacy if you just want some quick update on something. Some team members might use noise-cancelling headphones to keep out the typing noise and occasional conversation, but these headphones are an additional barrier for face-to-face talk. You don't want to snap them out of a musical experience, and getting a person with noise-cancelling headphones to notice you are standing behind him/her might get very awkward.

If you are convinced that stuffing people into a room with little to no privacy leads to increased social interaction, you should start riding public transit during rush hour.
It wouldn't, and perhaps we should discuss if that's really a bad thing.
There's a short list of things the news media get right, and a few anti-patterns they use which imo intentionally confuse.

The major media outlets are pretty good at providing transcripts or video of events. They are terrible at summarizing. If there's a news headline that someone said/did something that seems outlandish, 9/10 they didn't say/do that, or what they said makes perfect sense in context (Recent example: A major politician is not going to publicly support infanticide). Always read/watch the source material, preferably from multiple sources because the media will tend to edit out context (recent example: Covington kids). If I can't be bothered to read/watch the source material, then the alleged story wasn't important enough for me to be upset. I can behave as if I'd never even heard of such a thing.

Never believe unattributed/anonymous statements. You should assume any quote that does not have a real person's name attributed to it is a lie. Sometimes it will be true, but not often enough to matter. If it is true, and it's a concern of actual importance, real evidence will surface eventually. Wait for this to actually happen.

Always assume statements made by officials in the lying industry is a lie. That's NSA, CIA, FBI, DHS, etc. The media tends to report, "X official said Y" in such a way that we're supposed to assume Y is a fact now. But the media is almost never critical of these statements and there is often on supporting evidence provided. If it's not important enough to potentially reveal secret techniques by showing me the evidence, it's not a big enough deal for me to care what you said about it. I'm not anti-CIA/NSA/etc. but I understand their role is sometimes to lie to me in order to further some greater agenda like promoting a war effort.

Unless there's a world changing event going on right now, like 9/11 scale world changing event, avoid 24 hour and even daily news. These outlets are drug dealers, selling you an outrage high. Weekly news sources are much better. If a story isn't important enough to make it into the weekly news, it probably wasn't worth spending time on in the first place. Also, being a weekly publication means more of the story has unfolded, and the corrections are more likely to already be baked in. In the 24 hour news cycle, the outrage hot-take gets spread around, and then nobody ever sees the correction/retraction.
I visited the colleges which I hadn't visited pre-application after I got accepted, and that wasn't unusual in my social circle. Applying to ten schools sight-unseen is cheaper and takes less time than visiting a single non-local school, so it can be more efficient to wait to evaluate a school until after you find out if it's even an option for you.

See the subsection titled "Abstraction-based summarization" in the article. Basically, instead of copying important sentences verbatim (and spending all your analysis on choosing those sentences), rewrite entire paragraphs into new and unique sentences. No more plagiarism, because nothing is a direct copy.

Honestly this article comes as no surprise.

I work for a company that not only has an open plan office, but no assigned seating either. It's honestly the worst, mostly because I like to have my own environment at work. I can't bring in my keyboard or any of my other stuff, and as corny as it is i can't even bring in photos to keep at my desk since there's no assigned seating!

As much as i like open spaces, i miss at /least/ having my own desk.

Agreed. Those were the things that I spotted instantly. The first thing when you think of for homeless people is mental health. You don't have to be full-on crazy to have mental health issues that bring you down the wrong path of bad decision-making. The fact the family doesn't want to talk, that she was asked to leave by her parents, that she kept losing her job, these all speak volumes.

It's terrible, but it happens: I've learned anyone can suffer from mental health problems. I have a decades-old friend who was gifted and brilliant. He succumbed to schizophrenia in his 30s, lost his job as a patent lawyer and broke off his engagement to his lovely fiance, and started murmuring about evil. He stopped answering my calls and moved around so much I have no idea where he is now, or if he's even still alive.
Nah Russian collusion wouldn't count as mass hysteria given objective facts in place. Even in the frankly unlikely circumstance that the meeting really was about adoptions you have suspicious meetings and a President acting weird and unduly deffereantal around Putin and others. Even if there is no crime and just a bizzare psychological baggage involved there was still ample reasonable suspicion.

Thinking the guy who heads out with knives every night and returns covered in blood is a serial killer isn't mass hysteria even if he just decides to clean fish and game enmasse at a creepy time.
And yet, the media narrative focuses on the top 10/top ~60k at the expense of the rest of us. I wonder why?
Their example about the algorithm that predicts if you’re a criminal by looking at your face seems... poorly thought out. Note, it’s not facial recognition. It’s prediction. They make the claim that it’s all about jury perception. Maybe it is, but far more important is that it’s likely just using an estimate of race and wealth. I’m annoyed that they didn’t talk about the bigger red flag: “90% accuracy”.

Maybe they should just teach stats...

Edit: pre-empting a nitpick: when I say “wealth” I mean largely as proxied by hairstyle

Does this include the new(ish) timeout procedure? Docs and nurses will take a beat before surgery to say the patients name, what the procedure is and I think one or two other very basic things. This has been done for a few years now in the USA and I find it fascinating. So basic in such a sophisticated space and I have heard it has had a profound impact on patient safety.

Any surgical staff around to tell us more?

Not just bottom tier... humans are very good at making simple mistakes. It's one of the things we do best. A lot of times the people who are rated as "good" or "great" are rated that way because the make fewer mistakes, not because of perfection.
I don't have FB.
my take away:

The program seems to have placed previously homeless men and women who came directly from shelters or the streets into housing without much screening and without getting them much mental illness or addiction treatment. The previously homeless are found to continue to struggle with severe behavioral problems and are unprepared to live on their own, independently, and with responsibilities.

Experts believed the housing first method is the best way to help people who have trouble helping themselves because of the chaos of homelessness.

There's now a bill proposed to require buildings with at least 20 units and 30 percent or more of them occupied by tenants receiving housing assistance to offer on-site access to social services.

It's interesting the author chose to include this quote
“I want us to be careful not to demonize everyone who finds stable housing through a subsidy because not everybody who needs a subsidy is a criminal.” Which is curious, as there was more of a troubled persons theme throughout rather than a criminal one.
My primary concern is someone physically stealing my Macbook or iMac. They are personal devices and the content on them would not be much of interest to others, foreign governments or other entities.

I have Prey[1] installed. On both devices, I have "admin" credentials taped to the back. The account is actually a locked down user-level account with very little authority, other than being able to get on wifi/browse the internet, etc. I suppose this would be a honeypot of sorts. My thought being if someone walks off with it, I want to be able to gather as much info on them as possible. I haven't given a whole lot of thought to this, so definitely curious if there are issues with this approach.

The problem with bufferbloat is not necessarily excess retransmissions or stale data (although that does happen), it is primarily that delay significantly increases in general, and that delay in competing streams or intermittently active streams is highly variable.

Traditional tcp congestion control in an environment where buffers are oversized will keep expanding the congestion window until it covers the whole buffer or the advertised receive window, even if the buffer is several seconds of packets. There may be some delay based retransmission, but traditional stacks will also adapt and assume the network changed and the peer is expected to be 8 seconds away.
It doesn't. The only way an ice sheet gains mass under any normal circumstance is new snow falls on top. As more and more snow accumulates over time, the ice sheet grows thicker.

What offsets that is that ice flows under pressure, so the entire sheet has a tendency to head for the ocean. Things are a bit complicated in Antarctica since some of the landscape where the sheet is grounded is below sea level. There are concerns that the seawater is getting warm enough to cause melting there, increasing the flow rate.

If, in fact, ice sheet mass is increasing, that's great in terms of sea level rise. There's no other way to spin it.

My impression of the Starlink project is that it's at least in part a backup project for unused launch capacity.

That is, if they happen to not find paying customers for all their reusable launch fleet, this is a way for it to not stand around idle.

Under this theory, paying customers will always get precedent over throwing up another 44 satellites.

I got the site to load but it was very slow and took a second try. I happened to be standing outside in Reston, looking East and saw the whole thing. I've never seen anything like it. Extremely bright with a green tinge, moving fast like a meteor. It was visible long enough that I was able to tell people to turn around and check it out.

Definitely a little unsettling. It was bright enough some folks that hadn't seen the whole trajectory thought it might have been fireworks.
