This has less to do with most journalists consciously doing it and more to do with people just riding the wave of their biases and their editor's biases.

The reality is that most journalists are not proficient in the content they try to cover, and for the select "elite" that are proficient and considered to be "experts", they almost always come with some sort of insanely strong bias that made them proficient to start off with. There's almost a revolving door between "expert" journalists and think tanks/pressure groups.

I see this heavily with Middle Eastern coverage. It's basically an all-out shitfight of the most bigoted, racist and sectarian people war mongering through fear, dishonestly and in some cases outright lies. In some cases this has had tragic consequences - things like ISIS' adventure through Iraq could have almost certainly been avoided.

Sometimes the dog whistling moves from just dog whistling and we see writers that have written for publications like The Boston Globe outright tweeting that they wish for the suffering of Syrian children - verbatim - and then deleting the tweets after realising they're on a public platform.

Recycling generates co2, but so does producing virgin plastic. If you're not cutting plastic use completely, you're going to produce co2 either way. Assuming that recycling doesn't produce more co2, we're coming out ahead. I realize calling it "carbon neutral" is probably not the best word to describe it (flying a plane isn't carbon neutral just because it produces the same amount as driving).

Extradition is usually done when someone commits a crime in one country, then flees to another country, and the first country requests that the second country send them back to the first country so they can be tried, right? Assange didn't break any laws inside the US. Can the US request extradition of anyone who breaks US law, even if they didn't break it while in the US? That seems pretty dangerous, and if I were a legislator in another country I would be very wary of ceding international prosecution power to the US.

If Alice in Canada, a Canadian citizen and permanent resident, tells Bob in the US that thepiratebay lets them download copyrighted content, can the US request extradition of Alice from Canada and charge them with US crimes?
Try to find the real manufacturer. If it's a no-name/no-brand seller from China, then you should know what to expect.

Example:

1. Search for "car battery charger"

2. "Amazon's Choice" result is a brand called Ampeak

3. Google "Ampeak trademark"

4. Ahhhh, "AMPEAK is a trademark of SHENZHEN JIADING ECOMMERCE LTD."

Exercise of trying to find any information about "Shenzhen Jiading Ecommerce LTD" left to the reader.

Also:

1. Try to find a website for both the brand and the manufacturer. "Ampeak" does have a website but lacks company information.

2. Note if the listing is dominated by gushing 5-star reviews and 1-star "what the heck did I just buy" reviews, something you can observe in the Ampeak charger listing.

I wouldn't be so sure. It's true that they have a ton of money, but they also have a lot of exposure. Lobbying is most effective for companies that are obscure and their interests are adverse to either very few people or to everybody but only in a virtually unnoticeable way.

Even very wealthy industries that are high profile and piss off everyone tend to eventually get regulated. See e.g. banks.

As best as I can tell, two of your links talk about development of cement that could sequester CO2 (just like the article we're commenting on mentions too).

>Because it activated at low speed a g sensor wasn’t possible (?) so it got removed. Now you only have a single (notoriously unreliable) AoA sensor controlling it. To compensate for poor aero

To clarify: The G load gate had to be removed to enable the low speed activation.

The increased authority wasn't due to poor aero per se; but the fact that aerodynamic forces are dependent upon velocity. The slower you go, the more control surface deflection you need to get the same deflection that same control surface can generate at a higher speed.

>So the FAA approved MCAS with a 0.6 degree pitch limit, occurring at high speed, triggered by two independent sensors

Incorrect. The FAA approved input from only a single sensor, and the G load gate. Double sensor would have required simulator time; so was a non-starter. Both AoA sensors could talk to the Flight Control Computer, and MCAS as a result; but only one sensor was feeding data to the controlling FCC at a time.
What that has to do with fairness? It's up to the parents to take care of that (or not).

Most of the VB I've seen is front end code to MS Access '97 running underneath. We have been slowly chipping away at it and replacing various components but I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of it still around in another 10 years.

All sorts of legacy stuff here Visual Fox Pro - which I think is VB precursor as well. Lots of old 90's Commercial Unix stuff (RS/6000 era - Old C++ code - pre STL etc). Older than that we have a heap of Fortran and mainframe era stuff written in PL/1 language. Code and software here has very long lifespan and not always easy to replace it.

Typesetting Markdown – Part 4: Theme Style
I previously developed a consumer, Electron-based desktop application in the last year. One of the thing I was unaware of going in was the cost of code signing certificates. To support Windows and macOS it cost me around $200/year to avoid the OS showing a security warning when opening the application.

The Windows code signing certificate I have is an OV certificate which means it builds up trust over time before the installation security warning goes away. It seemed to go away within a week of release, but was still frustrating to deal with. An EV certificate skips the trust building step and can be purchased for about 5x the cost.

A couple months ago I switched to a Progressive Web Application (PWA) which reduced costs and removed the installation requirement. There are capabilities lacking in web applications, but there are planned features such as native file system API [1]. Hopefully these also make their way into Firefox and others. No desktop PWA support in Firefox at all yet.

"More" isn't a meaningful qualifier without a quantifier. I'm not convinced that it would take more than $0.01 worth of resource. I could even see doing it in a purely analog fashion with an extremely basic component like a mosfet. If a pin goes high because the computer responded to your request to send electrons, it sets the corresponding channel.

> So it's probable that the check is sequential.

It's a user unfriendly design for the process to be "send request, wait 5 seconds, send request on next channel, wait 5 seconds, send request on next channel, ..." when it could instead be sending requests across all channels rapidly and then that getting a response on a particular channel _activates_ that channel by analogue means.

Is Bing or DuckDuckGo not affected by this problem also? Just asking..
That it shouldn't be used on a search engine's results page.

Preload within a domain is reasonable. Preload across domains is, imo, a security concern, but maybe acceptable if the domains are trusted. Preloading untrusted, unknown content is a terrible idea.

> There is no synthesis engine for VHDL in it that I'm aware of.

The answer is one simply Google search away:
http://www.clifford.at/yosys/cmd_verific.html

The commercial version of Symbiyosys uses Verific to parse and elaborate designs. The Verific front-end supports Verilog, SystemVerilog and VHDL.

When it comes to formal verification, the Verific front-end and the Yosys Verific backend support a large set of the formal verification primitives of SystemVerilog. (See also the above link.)
It's a fact the IPCC has not considered feedbacks seriously. I have no qualifications to declare this, but many high profile scientists have stated it.

Also, the new models which will be presented in the 2021 report will show how warming is occurring much faster than previously stated.

> In earlier models, doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) over preindustrial levels led models to predict somewhere between 2°C and 4.5°C of warming once the planet came into balance. But in at least eight of the next-generation models, produced by leading centers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and France, that “equilibrium climate sensitivity” has come in at 5°C or warmer. Modelers are struggling to identify which of their refinements explain this heightened sensitivity before the next assessment from the United Nations’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But the trend “is definitely real. There’s no question,” says Reto Knutti, a climate scientist at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. “Is that realistic or not? At this point, we don’t know.”

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/04/new-climate-models-p...

Also, I've said from my first comment that there is more to it than feedbacks.

For example NASA said in 2010:

> Scientists believe the cooling from sulfates and other reflective aerosols overwhelms the warming effect of black carbon and other absorbing aerosols over the planet. Models estimate that aerosols have had a cooling effect that has counteracted about half of the warming caused by the build-up of greenhouse gases since the 1880s.

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/Aerosols/page3.ph...

A more recent paper from 2019 used a new method to determine how much cooling is happening from aerosols and determined it to be about double over previous estimations.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190122104611.h...

https://science.sciencemag.org/content/363/6427/eaav0566

So this means that while the official observations indicate we are at 1ºC above baseline, we may very well be actually much closer to 2ºC even ignoring feedbacks and climate lag.

And then there is this whole business of how the IPCC defined what preindustrial baseline is. So even the official 1ºC of current warming might be wrong and we could be close to 1.2ºC.

See this twitter thread: https://twitter.com/MichaelEMann/status/1049702520984141824

And finally you have to consider climate lag. Current warming has not yet been affected by GHG emissions from the past 3-4 decades, and we have emitted more GHG during that time than the previous 150 years.
Walmart. I've been Amazon Prime for years, but whenever I need to buy something with a high risk of being counterfeit (printer ink is the most common one for me), I use Walmart - and it's free shipping from them anyway. Really the only difference is that Amazon usually gets it to my door faster.

> But Amazon takes a hands-off approach to what goes on in its bookstore, never checking the authenticity, much less the quality, of what it sells. It does not oversee the sellers who have flocked to its site in any organized way

Uh... this seems like an unsubstantiated claim. It's my understanding Amazon has multiple team actively working on manual and automated anti-fraud including for counterfeit.

I think there's more inherent problems to this:

1. Making it easier for sellers to sell, mean it's also easier for fraudsters to do so.
2. Being so popular and central means all fraudsters focus their energy on it.

At great risk to my HN karma I’m gonna share from the heart.

VB was the pinnacle of software development.

Nothing about it was perfect, except it was easy for anyone to build anything. I saw everything from kids making shareware to phd’s building multi-hundred-million dollar ERP systems.

A lot of nice-enough and useful software was built in VB that remained useful and editable over long lifetimes.

I pine for something like that in the mobile or web worlds. Everything else I’ve tried is an absolute mess in comparison.
I don't know the details, but Walmart is also moving towards more of being an online marketplace: https://marketplace.walmart.com/

You really believe that? That most people who are getting addicted in rural America are getting addicted because they were first on prescription pain medicine - including all of the abuse of drugs based on over the counter pseudoephedrine?

https://www.ruralhealthinfo.org/topics/substance-abuse

And this is just what I’m referring to. It couldn’t possibly be that poor people in rural America are abusing drugs for the same reason that poor people in the “inner city” are using it. Because those drug dealers in rural America are “responsible people”.

There were also stiffer penalties for crack than the same amount of cocaine.

The entire reason that weed became illegal in the first place was because it was used by Mexicans.
