It's sort of common in the older generation of more enterpisey chat platforms. Ethical firewalls are a huge requirement in some industries, and a lot of them are implemented as just block lists.
I expect this type of stupidity to reside on Slashdot. Looks like it has found its way here. Maybe if you tried turning off the myriad of blocking extensions you have installed you might actually get it to work.
RMS originally made money for FSF by selling copies of Emacs and other programs on tape. That was back when the first person to buy on physical media couldn't just slap on the Internet.

> I'm guessing you do - because it points out that Trump is lying.

First, I can only assume what you meant by your statement was this, rephrased: You think I'd find any negative reporting on Trump to be "biased", even if its a proven lie.

Can you see how uncharitable of a statement this is? If you can't, that's unfortunate for you, if so (and you chose to write it anyway), you've lost my respect.

Politico is a consistently far left-leaning site. Yes, Breitbart is slightly further on the other side, but the point stands. That Politico dresses up nice just makes more need to point it out. Breitbart isn't dangerous either, it's a populist and nationalist site that generally aligns with the current president's policies pretty well, ie, 48% of voters choice in 2016.
Probably marketing, hence why they lost so much money.
I'm not sure if this qualifies as the supernatural (it exceeds natural capabilities, imho), but while lots of people no longer have a fundamentalist belief in religion, it seems a fair number of people have in some sense replaced that with a somewhat fundamentalist belief in the capabilities and comprehensiveness of knowledge (versus theories) of science, free markets, human nature, and other things like that. And on a personal basis, a possibly overly confident view of the correctness of their beliefs about the beliefs (and underlying motivations) of other people.
Indeed. Christopher Hitchens called himself not just an atheist, but an "anti-theist."
> Atheism is a positive belief system. It actively asserts special gnosis of God’s nonexistence which effectively makes it a particularly bare-boned form of Protestantism.

Asserting the nonexistence of something is not asserting special knowledge of something's nonexistence. Atheism isn't a Platonic Beard[1].

On a more practical level: if Protestants and atheists don't find their views mutually intelligible, there probably isn't any really meaningful sense in which one is a "bare-boned form" of the other.

At the risk of making sweeping generalizations, the people who build permission systems tend to be very different from the people who sit at a desk and set permissions for people.

Those who build permission systems commonly think very deeply about the process and can hold tremendously complex permission systems in their head. The people who are tasked with setting permissions in the real world tend to view anything else as a more important part of their job to think about and tend to default to either granting permissions broadly so they aren't bothered again or granting permissions minimally so they aren't blamed for things.

A small number of well designed and well named roles is unfortunately commonly better in practice than a highly powerful and flexible fully configurable turing complete granular permissions management system.
I just seems like a misunderstanding of the term "atheist" to apply the word "dogma" to it, or liken it to fundamentalism. There's no authority structure or writings to be dogmatic about…
I think the <insert minority/foreign country here> will steal our jobs narrative doesn't really work here.

I view ISO standards as a tax on companies who are willing to stand by their product and processes. Modulo obvious caveats, if they can get certification/compliance/accreditation , the end user can have a modicum of confidence when dealing with the business. It lets you buy toys for your child with a peace of mind, or get into a car with ISO certified airbags, or buy network equipment for your server build, etc etc. Its trivial to point out flaws in any system, its not easy to propose something better that you can actually implement in the real world.
> The only good thing is that we are some 10-15 years away from full implementation, but if I were you I would not look for long and prosperous career as a truck driver.

(I work at Starsky)

That's one way to say it. Another is that the industry is suffering from a major lack of qualified drivers. Earlier this week, we announced our operation of a commercial trucking company in addition to our autonomous R&D group. We're getting better-than-average employee retention by offering employee-drivers a career path out of long-haul driving if they want it. Even so, we've heard tons of stories from our drivers about poor working conditions at other companies, and people quitting after only 3-4 months.

For whatever reason, trucking skews older. Younger people just don't want to do it. Which is fine, except that groceries, diapers, and everything you order from Amazon won't get delivered by itself.

Even in among native English speakers the usage is not consistent. I know people who believe in a spirit world where their dead family members hear their prayers, and they do not describe themselves as religious, because they associate religion with a shared dogma and belief in one or more superhuman deities. I guess most people don't describe themselves "religious" unless there is some organized religion that they are able to identify as the source of their beliefs.
A fee for linking is a stupid idea. Sites pay for backlinks, not the other way around. Because they can then run their own ads and make money.

Wikipedia thinks Koko’s teacher still is alive (aged 72), so punishment certainly wasn’t swift.

Atheism is just a-theism, not-theism. If you are not a theist ("i believe in a god or gods"), you are an atheist.

You can be atheist and agnostic - most atheists are.
Thanks for the insight. I didn't intend to imply it meant the parents are weak --- really just something to watch out. Just pointing out that children are _really_ good at conditioning parents, which is sometimes not noticed.
You also have to recognize that kids are different. My son, for instance, will not clean up unless threatened with punishment (taking games away, stuff like that, not paddlin'). The textbook stuff doesn't work at all. Won't do homework, won't shower, won't brush his teeth, not to mention cleaning up his room (unless I threaten to throw his shit out; mom is too chicken to enforce anything).
Sure it is. Stocks and salaries are definitely financial incentives.
Could be. In the wild it may not be advantageous because the extra hardware would make you too slow to compete relative to those who are fast but live short. Living on a planet where everyone is in the same radiation boat could make such a feature worth it.

Such efficiency issues may not matter to modern humans. However, changing that would be too big of an upgrade to our current system to simply bluntly "add".
If Americans want these high paying jobs then they need to suck it up and study hard core STEM subjects instead of “following their passion” into random fields that pay no money. None of these hiring companies care which country you’re from (in fact it’s probably cheaper to hire American citizens).
It sort of is. The last time I saw this story going around, it was that they were swapping out the rubberier non-ABS bits that are almost always green tree elements to some kind of sugarcane-based polyethelene.

I don't exactly understand what the author means by open sourcing graphene. If they mean putting the methods used to produce and do things with graphene out there in the open, scientific journals are for the most part already doing this(although not all journals are open access). One can also copy whatever is in a patent as long as one doesn't attempt to sell it.

If the author is suggesting that amateurs do interesting work with graphene we run into a couple problems. It's difficult for amateurs to obtain even basic chemical reagents and labware. Most chemical suppliers won't even sell to amateurs. Not to mention that some of these chemicals involved can be pretty nasty. There's also the issue of all the equipment needed to evaluate stuff made with graphene. Microscopes and mechanical testers can be pretty expensive.

That being said graphene suffers from similar problems to other nanomaterials. While we can obtain high strength, we can only do so with close to atomically perfect sheets. We still don't have a good way to make large atomically perfect materials, so we can only achieve these high strengths with microscopic flakes of graphene. In addition, the roll to roll process they mentioned is still going to be pretty expensive. It's slow and energy intensive making it difficult to produce by the kilogram, much less the ton. It's also been noted that graphene really doesn't have much of a killer app[0], with most graphene applications being only marginally better than alternatives.

Now much of the hype around graphene came from it's electronic properties. The big attraction was that one could do many of the things we wanted to do with carbon nanotubes, that is making smaller faster transistors, using standard CMOS processing equipment[1]. The problem is that its still difficult to make graphene exhibit a band gap, which is important for making computer chips so that we can make transistors which actually turn off.

No, as far as I can tell Gorhill's position on the policy hasn't changed since dynamic filtering was introduced. The primary concern isn't that rules can't be modified, it's that they're declarative -- meaning developers can only use filtering schemes that Google explicitly supports.

It's inaccurate to say that the revised v3 addresses all API concerns.
What's the problem with that? Every news org receives money from companies or individuals with specific interests. You should be able to know what to read and how to read it. I don't think anybody takes Fox seriously (or at least I hope nobody does). You do not need government to "protect" you from that. It doesn't work. Look at Latin America and you'll see how government gets involved in news creation.
Did you try any of the more common image editing software? Both MS Paint and macOS's Preview allow the common workflow of open → edit → save.

Affinity Designer isn't an image editor. Consistent with its name and marketing, it is graphic design software.

Obviously I have no objection to GIMP positioning itself as a graphic design program rather than an image manipulation program. However, if that's the direction they wanna go, perhaps they might consider changing their name to something other than "GNU Image Manipulation Program."
the claim is dubious. article focus on the range, which is ok-ish as long as the claim is "see! only 20 miles less" but it's like two third of ICEs, and ICE at that time had shit fuel economy.

plus we focus on range because recharging is slow, not because range is a core value of the vehicles per se. and that point stands. sure you can commute, once, but then how long is the recharge? having two vehicles because you need to leave one at the office recharging for the next day commute is going to be inefficient.

and then there's all the stuff about battery self discharge, capacity depletion and burning everything down if shaken. it's not like battery tech then was that great.

(Starsky engineer here)

That's a blurry line.

We think of it like a spectrum running from hands-on-the-wheel, manual actuation of the brake/throttle/etc. to full autonomy. The middle parts are "supervision" where the human isn't manually pushing the pedals, but might, for instance, tell the truck to take an exit, or slow down, and the truck can do all the acceleration/braking, lane changes, etc on its own.

This pattern of "supervised autonomy", where you automate the low-level (and safety critical) parts, but leave the higher-level decision-making up to humans, has surprisingly broad applicability. That's part of why I'm excited to work here.
Running Puppeteer for monitoring is 50% of the SaaS I run. You can totally run it in a cronjob. Getting it to behave predictably and consistently and delivering actionable results is a different thing though.

Facebook will make this work simply because of the number of users and its world reach. It will be successful even if it only becomes a medium of sending money between countries
but there are so many ways to expand it and earn a small commission for Facebook so it won't stop at just money transfers.

I predict that Amazon will have to release its own currency to guard against Facebook becoming a middle man for e-commerce and becoming a threat to its business. It's only a matter of time.

UBlock Origin, UMatrix, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes, and HTTPS Everywhere are all not available on Safari, in part because the APIs they rely on aren't available.

I'm not sure why people make the claim that Safari is just as good at blocking ads as Firefox and Chrome. It's not. The extension options on Safari are comparatively quite limited, in no small part because of technical decisions like this.
I'd assume it's corps blindly following metrics. "Apps with a chat feature increase engagement by 50%!!!". Hm well that correlates with more retention thus profit so let's do that.

I guess the unknown for me is are these bone headed moves overall the better choice? Are they getting more by flipping off people like here in HN or is the blind metric following actually losing them more than gaining?

I somehow completely missed this coverage of Infinity Fabric power usage. I wonder if IF power usage percentage remains the same in this generation or it has been reduced. If not improvement of IF power usage would remain a viable opportunity to make these chips even more power efficient.

I'm sorry, but that's just incorrect.

Atheists are people who assert "I do not believe in God" and not, "I believe there is no God." It can not be otherwise, because the opposite makes no logical sense. Which God would the correct one to "believe against"? There are infinite Gods that one must equally disbelieve. Not believing in Zeus, Jupiter, Odin, Ra, Yahveh, and the flying spaghetti monster does not require any evidence at all, it's merely the default position which any rational person must take.

Atheists merely believe in one God less than believers.

We had a once-a-week cleanup rule when the kids were little. We all cleaned up the house for the weekend, kids just had to pickup their rooms. When they didn't (as is perfectly normal, pushing boundaries), I would tidy up by throwing everything into a big garbage bad and putting it up high in the garage (sort of a timeout for their belongings). Set a timer at the start of the process so they have a chance to do it themselves. After a few times, they got the message, but there were some times at first when they would lose their shit - that was pretty harrowing.
Based on a documentary. Yes, it is.

I'm also not suprised. A local TV guy did a travel guide for China, it was beautifull and he had gained access to a more secure facility ( a controversial dam that caused people to lose their house).

No room for open questions ( had to ask it up front on paper, written). But when he asked a follow up question, the guide got really scared. You could just see it happen ( he was not allowed to film anymore after the question)

The problem is that the newspapers were already a cartel, and Google and Facebook broke them up.

There were several large networks:

Associated Press

United Press International

Reuters

Agence France-Presse

etc.

Newspapers generated little unique content. They tended to both act as a distributor for AP/Reuters content, and share their content back into the network.

Another example... The sports, stock and weather pages? Yeah, not always generated by the paper - I worked for the NZ Metservice who had a great business gathering together the feeds and generating the layout, shipping print-ready pages direct.

Along come Google and Facebook who are perfectly capable of de-duping the articles from AP, allowing a winner take all competition among the papers. Add to that the ability to render the data pages themselves from feeds that they can buy and there's a lot less of a reason for the end customer to pay the local news organisation.

People usually think cars are the biggest sources of emissions but it's not even close. All transportation (car, planes, trains, etc) represent 14% of global emissions.

Globally the biggest source of emissions is energy production which represents about 35% (25% of direct emissions and 10% of processes like refining fuel).

So, I doubt emissions from ICE cars would be as bad as widespread nuclear residues from nuclear cars.
