I also wonder about this scenario.

You write: "because of how easy it is for any shady organization to set up a defamatory site masquerading as trustworthy and impartial." I can see emotions, confirmation bias and backfire effect playing a role by, as you note, "a defamatory site". I'm curious if there are options or solutions to counter this?
yes mostly locally hosted back then. the idea was you'd have this massive distributed file system to hold all your data, and VC backed comopanies like Cloudera, MapR, Hortonworks promised everyone that they'd build the SQL layer, the data warehousing, BI, and all the other enterprise features you'd need to basically replace your expensive Teradata, Oracle Exadata, and other data warehousing systems.

But of course it didn't play out that way.

How do we know that "Terry Pratchett warns Bill Gates about fake news (1995)" is not fake news? Author says it's in "GQ (UK edition), July 1995, p21", but before now, I've never heard about GQ and I've no way to acquire it. QC wikipedia doesn't even mention Gates nor Pratchett.

Pratchett wikipedia never mentions Gates nor GQ. It mention "he was the UK's best-selling author of the 1990s" and as a best-selling author, would he work for beauty-and-fashion magazine?

While I agree with you... Keto is best for people who are type 2 diabetic or borderline. And with that I would say Paleo + Keto macro profile. If you are closer to a healthy weight, then Paleo and good habits goes a long way. One Meal a Day also helps a lot simply because it's harder to overeat in a single meal.

IMHO grains/refined carbs (bread/starch/pasta) etc should be limited to a couple meals a week... and refined sugars should be limited to one or two treats a month.
Overall, seems like growth is slowing, especially in the ridesharing business, and losses keep expanding.

Will be interesting to see how they frame that on the call, as 9% YoY growth in the ridesharing business (10% YoY on adjusted net revenue) does not typically garner a 4.5x+ revenue multiple when you're burning so much cash ($1B in the first quarter)

But bigots are allowed to speak their minds elsewhere, in many many places, especially in private, hidden from people who don't like them. They don't naturally gravitate to any place that lets them spread their ideas.

What I've seen happens is different, no actual genuine bigotry, but some organized effort to spread hateful propaganda and moderators not banning any of that, taking sides, especially when the organized effort comes from the government and is supported by mainstream government propaganda, so the moderators are naturally conflicted. Owners, moderators sometimes realize it's hurting the site, but still don't like to compromise on their views and eventually ban entire topics, not hate, personal attacks or anything like that and still being soft to the views they share even if they are against new rules.

Throwing more arguments at each other won't resolve anything- your arguments are both internally consistent, but they run opposite to each other. You can't refute one just by saying the other, they're rooted different axiomatic takes on the same dataset. You have to attack the axioms.
Hmmm, that's a good question. Before I begin, I'm not a lawyer. Just trying to use some logic on the matter.

I assume, but I don't know, it's probably just nipping the bud the potential hassle. What if a formal complaint is made? I'm not sure on the process on how an international kerfuffle would roll out. Especially between the EU and a state instead of directly the fed. Would it be made direct to the nation-state instead of state? Anyways, would you want that type of press to begin with? "Coal loving West Virginian local media monopoly based in the United Empire of America is spying and making dirty capitalist money by selling innocent EU citizen data".

I had fun writing that :)

Think of it this way.

1. Block out an extremely small and useless demographic and no potential bad happenings.

2. Don't block an extremely small/useless demographic and have the potential of having to answer to international litigation.

No matter how baseless the fascists at the EU are, an American lawyer still costs money, not hugs and kisses. Just blocking out the EU, using EU rules, is probably far cheaper and easier to deal with than not blocking and facing potential consequences.

To anyone looking at this that actually does international law, as a job, please, feel free to chime in.
> The reason is almost certainly a new user agent (compared to non-Chromium Edge) that YouTube didn't expect. Chromium-based Edge is still not stable, and therefore, not properly supported by YouTube

Why almost certainly? We're seeing antagonistic, self-preserving and dare I say abusive monopolistic behavior from Google with Chrome's anti-adblocking. Why the benefit of doubt when blocking a competitor's browser?

More pointedly, would an independent YouTube have behaved similarly for as long?

First, you are being overly critical. Automatic (forced) sign-in is actually useful. Second, why do you call leaving the "only" recourse? As if it's something completely horrid that you would never ever do freely. Leaving is a completely fine path to take.

With webRequest, Google is "just" testing the waters. Just like with the forced sign-in, they will back down when they see the backlash.

Based only on Google's description, they seem to have a valid reason to remove (even though they say "deprecate", they mean remove) the offending API. However, there's zero chance they can get away with this. For what reason I'm not sure, market share of Chrome is very important to them. So they'll have to keep it or implement some new, acceptable method.
Conserv[ing] sources of wasted energy without the need for invasive infrastructure.

In terms of resources, even if you had a fully effective way to convert waste natural gas into bitcoin, you would still be entirely "wasting resources" since the mined bitcoin would simply change who had claim to the resources (and such conversion is unlikely, see other comments). That is because currency is ultimately just a claim on resources - ie, imagine I had a natural-gas powered printing press that produced dollars, would I be "saving resources?"
I had a similar experience with that same video. It was suggested to me in the YT recommendations (I had watched Bill Hader on Late Show with Stephen Colbert previously).

I genuinely thought "wow, when he squints his eyes he really looks like Arnold". The transitions between Bill's own face and Arnold's were totally seemless to me.

I finally realized what was going on when I saw the channel's name, and it spooked me that I had fallen for it.
I'm going to let you all in on a little secret weapon for high code quality and bug-free code called Design by Contract. Not only will contracts find bugs, you can set it up in such a way that it forces you to fix them or you don't have running software.

It's a myth that it's faster to put a bug in a bug list and deal with it later. If you find a bug, fix it immediately, most bugs take only a couple minutes to fix anyway. With DbC, you will find more bugs and it will reinforce the discipline to fix them then and there.

The graph that Martin Fowler showed where high-quality code allows for faster development is true. Where I would disagree is that there is an initial bump in time. Probably because most people will write tests as a sign of quality. Don't write those tests, go faster, use contracts.

Ask HN: Scrolling vs. Paging?
Which do you prefer? And in what contexts (mobile/desktop, type of content, etc)?

eg. e-readers, slides use paging (or do you prefer scrolling through slides?)

Social feeds, articles, single-page websites use scrolling

Or, a mix of the two - scrolling to some limit, and then paging: most websites, search results.

I don't think you've turned on very strict anti-tracking in a browser if you think that's a weak reason. The setting can really break websites, making them unusable or whole blocks of content don't load. Before this update I used to use Privacy Badger and it also broke websites all the time.

I don't believe Safari has anything like what Firefox or Privacy Badger offers built in. So you wouldn't be able to use your default experience with Safari as a comparison.

It probably wouldn't differ that much from the NY Times. I would also expect MSNBC to be about the same. Its the angle that is the difference and not so much the subject.

yeah, I don't have a personal problem with the approach (followed by "which may go against others, but seems to work out fine there"), just that it deviates a hair there from what I've seen most try to push. But they're able to hammer something out pretty quickly (and most importantly, it works) taking that course so if it works for them I see no harm (it obviously isn't a hindrance in any particular measure that matters).
One feature I would love is a global code search that has the quality of the repo (as measured by forks/stars/pagerank...) as a part of relevance ranking. A use case is simple: I have some library and I am not exactly sure how to use it, so I go into global code search and try to find usages of that method. First thing that comes would be some relevant code in a big context of a well engineered repository.

Empowering African Farmers with Data
Agreed 100%. People really overvalue intelligence when it comes to predicting who can take power or rule the world. And up to a certain point, there is certainly a correlation. Someone whose IQ is significantly lower than average is likely going to struggle to run an electoral campaign or gain popular support for their policies.

But yeah, other factors outweigh this significantly. If you grow up in an extremely poor area with limited resources, then having an IQ that's twice the national average is probably not going to help that much. Even in places with a working political system, things like economic class, your parents, plain luck, etc have a huge impact on your chances.

And heck, even then it's not guaranteed. People don't vote 100% rationally, and the politician who does well is often less the guy who knows most about the issues affecting the day/has a better academic pedigree and more the one average Joe can see themselves going out for a drink with.

Even then there's still a good risk of this potential high IQ politician having the 'wrong' political views (which would make them virtually unelectable), the media not taking them to them well (which could destroy their reputation) or people in general just not liking them for whatever petty reason.

As you say, merely making them smarter won't result in them ruling the world, and nor will improving every other characteristic/quality necessarily do the same.

It really depends on what the workload is and if performance or scale are priorities. Our team and the products we build come from the HPC side of the fence and we've been engaged with all sorts of large businesses that know their performance requirements (think 100s of GB/s read bandwidth), and it leads them down the path of either HPC filesystems or newer NVMe-oriented filesystems. Does 'AI' or 'data science' always mean 'high performance'? No, but it definitely can.

Everyone's data volume is different as well...working a proposal for several petabytes of NVMe storage right now. It's not everyone, but use cases are out there for large volumes of high performance storage.

Fair point on the ability to swap the hdfs interface trivially, I hope it's that simple everywhere. Another issue we run into is that these companies have invested heavily in these Hadoop clusters, and would prefer to continue to get some use out of the mountains of HDDs that are captive in these environments. So tiering/HSM functionality is another facet of the issue that these environments will anchor for quite some time.

The relative graphs over time at the bottom should have been the main feature in this article. The causes vs coverage at any particular time is not meaningful. How media coverage changes in relation to how causes of death changes is the better indicator of reporting bias.

If A caused 50% death last year and 50% death this year, and B caused 10% death last year and 20% death this year, I would expect an unbiased media to ignore A and report heavily on B.

I didn't mean to imply that, just that when I see people complain about the ergonomics of the language and point to using a bunch of Rc<RefCell<T>> stuff usually smells funny, it implies to me that you're either trying to use OO or control flow architectures and patterns, where the type system is able to handle the edge cases that you'd need to think about anyway. There are nicer alternatives, especially in terms of data flow architectures.

And I don't know what you mean by "indexes" in this context or which talk you're referring to, do you have any more details or a link? Google isn't finding me anything.
