> If a fact checker can't (or chooses not to) distinguish satire from news, it very much is a problem with the fact checker

When Snopes does a fact-check of a claim whose original source is satire, they clearly identify both the source and the satirical nature, so whether or not one were to agree with your hypothetical, it doesn't seem applicable to the actual situation being discussed.

> At the time, (until ~Feb 2019) Snopes fact checkers for Facebook were separate from the sites traditional authors. They would have known exactly that what they were doing resulted in blacklisting.

That's perhaps an argument as to why Snopes should have refused to fact check for Facebook on ethical grounds but, having been employed to do so, it's not a reason they should not have fact checked all claims put before them.

Though social feed including reshares of satirical sources as news is an increasingly important source of “news”, so I’m not sure there's a problem here besides Facebook lacking sufficient AI to distinguish when a story (whether in original presentation or resharing which can alter context and reach less-familiar audiences) is likely to read as news vs. satire by the recipient and only apply any penalty from negative fact check results in the context where it would otherwise be seen as news. This isn't the pre-web (or even pre-social-media) environment where a publication reaches mainly people familiar with it's nature and actively seeking it out, and that's particularly true when the venue is specifically Facebook.
There's a lot of Good-Enoughism and Apple apologism in the responses to your question, even though you never said this was a deal-breaker. You are fairly asking why this particular corner was cut for costs, and it does seem a weird place to save a few bucks when, as you say, the price is ~$4,000.

For what it's worth, the front and rear cameras on Microsoft's Surface products are both high-quality and it's generally a pleasure to do video conferences with Surface users. As some others here have pointed out, it's not necessary to have a high-quality video stream—it's not necessary to have video at all—but it's a better user experience to have a more life-like image of the people you're speaking with. In a group conference in particular, the oddball with the low-resolution 720 web-cam does stick out, looking like a relic from 10 years ago. Especially with a high-fashion status symbol such as an Apple laptop, that's an awkward position to be in.
This is BS. You can't use biological evolution to explain high level cultural behavior. It also implies that females have no agency and just run on instinct like frogs. The real reason they want diamonds is culture.
> 96W USB‑C Power Adapter

That's a big deal for everyone. I do not know why it's not 100W but I will take what I can get. You see, Apple landing on 87W for their USB C adapter led to a lot of third party chargers also being 87W (or if multiple ports then one maxing out there) which is very frustrating to those who need more oomph. There's something to be said about education in the US when you need to explain to people a higher wattage charger doesn't damage their equipment...
Hard to categorize C++. The base object system is single dispatch, but the way you use the STL is multiple dispatch.
But for the continental US, weight and size (and contract terms) is the controlling cost factor, moreso than destination.
I try to use FPGAs for pretty much all my hobby projects, even if using an RPi or any other microcontroller would make more sense.

Because writing RTL is much more fun.

And if I happen to need a little CPU for some generic control operations, I just add a soft core to my design.
FPGAs are significantly slower and significantly more expensive than dedicated hardware.

The FPGAs used for data-center usage don't even use LUTs primarily anymore, because fully configurable LUTs are too slow and too expensive to manufacture at scale. Instead, data-center sized FPGAs use "DSP Slices" primarily (yeah, LUTS exist but its mostly DSP Slices). They're very expensive (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/xilinx-inc/A-U200-...) and require a very specific set of skills to work with.
I listened to a great pod cast about Amazon recently. On it they talk to the CEO of Birkenstock and he discusses about how they no longer sell on amazon and why. Its a great listen: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/land-of-the-giants/id1...
> the only people who the company encouraged socializing with.

This is not my experience at all. Work-life balance there was way ahead of other tech companies I’ve worked for. Most people show up, work reasonable hours, and go home. Evenings and weekends are yours.

In my experience, Bay Area startups are way more guilty of trying to exploit young people with a sense of that the startup is your family. Eat, work, play, and socialize with your team, 24/7. Some people enjoy that, and sometimes these same startups go belly up, and your social network is lost.

I have no idea where your rhetoric comes from, though.
No; property taxes require a burden of proof: you must own property. That property must be assessed in some way.

In this instance I had no tax liability whatsoever. Zero. No business operations whatsoever in or touching or with their state. Indiana invented numbers out of thin air. Most of a year later I got the money back from Indiana as they agreed on this point (after they skimmed about $1k for “collections fees” incurred as a result of their illegal seizure).

Chase was happy to oblige them with a rubber stamp.
I would be way too stressed out about losing access due to the whims of google. This is about as tempting as a kick to the sacks.

You have misunderstood how the browser attacks work. They are limited to the memory assigned to the browser process. If site-isolation and the other browser mitigations were somehow bypassed, an ad-network would potentially be able to read some data from other loaded tabs.

You can't use the speculative execution vulnerabilities to just read all system memory using a javascript exploit. Like the exploit that is the topic of this post can't be used in a browser at all, as you are limited to what the JIT executes, you can't just execute TSX instructions in a browser.

You might be thinking of when you have native code execution.
While what you're saying is correct, you're describing CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder) rather than PTSD, which typically results from a single traumatic event.
There's nothing quite like curling up with a good book and a stiff drink. Beats the hell out of going to bars.
Really interesting article.

I am not convinced that we are more like the 80s than the 90s in terms of the types of risks VCs are willing to take, but I do appreciate that sense of the cycles in investing. (dearth of investors -> high returns -> everyone pours in -> returns dry up -> everyone leaves -> dearth of investors)
Those who use FCP, Logic X would beg to differ. It depends on use case, but not every power user is the same. Watch the video, look at their marketing, they're showing you who they think their pros are.
On the other hand, maybe this is exactly why they are interested in partnering with Google. If the bank agrees that they are loosing on the technology side, it would definitely make sense (at least on the boardroom PowerPoint) to partner with one of the leading tech companies.
"It's really a non-issue."

For you. It's a non-issue, for you. That doesn't make other people's experience invalid.
I entirely and wholly agree. We may be out of fashion with the cool "touch is the answer to everything, even when it's the wrong answer" kids.

You may be interested, if you don't already know it, in Brett Victor's marvellous canonical rant on the topic - he calls touch "pictures under glass", as it's not really touch is it?

No, I mean more generally performance and efficiency of multi core computational models are tightly bound to algorithms and so auto parallelization can only add restrictions on what algorithms can be implemented and what performance can be achieved. Basically the same problem many languages have that try to use more cores, instead of pursuing higher performance, and of course end up slow.
They are really tough and you need to pound the crap out of it. There are Asian restaurants where you can give a wink or secret handshake and get native abalone. Mostly Chinese IIRC. The Asian poachers were busted on a wildlife show I’ve watched and they are contributing to the problem. I heard about the Chinese restaurants in California from food blogs and other shows.
Imagine having your entire life ruined (not being able to purchase food, pay your rent and or bills on time, etc) because you merely WATCHED a video that politically doesn't align with the majority of their employees? You are practically asking children to watch over your money at that point.
Accesses to memory that is configured for device I/O (UnCacheable in x86 terms) are never speculated, so there’s nothing to roll back.
1.0 Bad: Facebook Has a Great New Product

Yup, that sounds like the HN I know.
Wondering why it took Google so long to want to get there. The data mining that will occur on these checking accounts is valuable to their ad business.

However, if they add some revolutionary features to it, happy to join. Or, they could just buy Revolut.
Is your spelling of "customers" as "costumers" intentional? It feels like some inside joke I am missing.
With crostini you can now run linux apps. It is still in beta.
Or how about a modifier key (e.g. Cmd/Super) to make the Touch Bar display global hotkeys rather than local hotkeys? I think it already somewhat does this. But it could also display any applicable Services, which (through making Services in Automator) would cover the macro use-case.
Google offers a wonderful badge for SLOW WEBSITES
Technically the same perhaps. But the actual history is pretty different. WordPress plugins are notorious for RCE type vulnerabilities.
Mostly because the end-user application community is not as strong in Julia (though you can create web services/sites and GUIs right now), in the same way the scientific/numerical computing/machine learning/HPC isn't as strong in Swift. Perhaps the point he made was that since his area is ML, then he could contribute better in trying to create a community around that in Swift than he could bring the other domains to Julia up to par with those languages by adding another competing library.

And in terms of the language itself, Julia is very much a general purpose language. Exceptionally general purpose as it's basically a Lisp below the surface, so it can not only support any domain, it can be comparatively easily extended to better support them. Differentiable programming is one such example, as the compiler was not designed for that, but you can just import this functionality as a library. Though the focus is still from desktop to HPC, as opposed to mobile/IoT to desktop (and apple focused) like Swift, which makes so having both languages supporting differentiable programming an overall positive over having only one of these languages.
I did acknowledge that. That's why I said they should have worked with the State to resolve the error, rather than ignore it until a seizure was required.

Seizures are expensive for the state too. If you're working with them on the tax liability (inc. disputing it) they likely aren't going to go the seizure route as a first port of call.

While we are trading anecdotes, my extremely-non-technical girlfriend returned her Macbook in part because of the touch bar; the other part was the terrible keyboard.

In any case, it is very non-obvious that removing the function keys used by power user and non-power user alike (often for work) is necessary for the survival of the company.

It is also very non-obvious why the function keys had to be removed for a touchbar to be added to an already relatively expensive piece of hardware. The touch-bar/function keys are already non-reachable from the home row for most people; so what's another row? I think this was a design-oriented decision, not a regular-user-centric one.
> Now imaging your checking account also got disabled because some bot decided that you looked suspicious.

That's already how fraud protection works in the majority of banks.
The other essential part of not mentioning politics at work is that these private beliefs should not impact work conduct.

EG as per a sibling comment, if an HR Rep is not convinced regarding trans-rights, they should absolutely not let that impact their treatment of a trans person that comes to them.

Or, more famously, (and not that it did him any good) Brendan Eich made a political donation to candidates opposing gay marriage, but (afaik) there were never any reports of him mistreating any LGBTQ+ employees.
Precisely. So what does the touch bar add, if not new capability?

So now I have a touchbar that I can't do anything with that I couldn't already do before it.
Google runs B2B Ads too.
Count me out. I already stay away from them as much as possible (ProtonMail over Gmail, DuckDuckGo vs Google search, I never log in to youtube and on Android where you are required I always use incognito, etc., etc.). No way in hell I am going to give Google of all companies my complete financial transaction records so they can "analyze" it and sell it to someone. I'm sure my bank probably already does it but I'd rather them do it (smaller local bank) than have Google in possession of that information.
Bluray and 4K discs have dropped dramatically over the last five years.

L1TF was an incredibly stupid bug in Intel's L1 cache implementation. I very much doubt IBM's POWER chips had the same issue. Do you have any source for this?
Sorry but it doesn't sound like someone pragmatic or smart, diamond is just a rock that's worth x amount of $ nothing more.

Someone pragmatic would be happy with "any" kind of ring, when I see those big diamonds it reminds me of those dumb people showing off their ring to friends in TV shows.

I'm not sure for other countries but diamond is a very US thing.
Let’s insulate ourselves from the delusional masses by forming coalitions
(Obviously) Since you are reading this you probably know what I’m getting at. People who are grounded in reality are rare and may often be lost among the sea of the deluded masses( I'm one of them). So this post of mine is an attempt to gather people who are like-minded.( people who I deem to be grounded in reality through my own colored lens of the world). The idea is to form mutually beneficial alliances in this insane world.
As to how exactly this is to be achieved is something to be discussed ( though I have some concrete preliminary thoughts ).

How to start:
Email me your core beliefs ( though I personally prefer a voice chat with on Skype, google hangouts etc.), especially the beliefs where you think you differ fundamentally from the vast majority of people. I will quiz you on various subjects ( and so can you) to see if our beliefs align. Perhaps at the bare minimum we have to share meta belief that it is necessary to reach out and cooperate with other like minded individuals as it is virtually impossible to ‘de-delude’ the idiotic masses though arguments/discussions etc.
My email address can be found on my profile. In my profile you will also find a link to some webpages that outline my beliefs.

After this step, if we think our beliefs align, I will add you to an an online forum ( zero people as of now) , where you can interact with other people that I will be screening.

Caveats:

-It often takes a very long time ( months to years) to form mutually beneficial alliances. ( more so when individuals are geographically isolated from each other.) This is not a quick fix for your immediate problems, or for people without perseverance.

-The online forum is not to rant against the world, or a place to discuss your core beliefs. This is more of a place for doers not ivory tower thinkers.
NYPD - Smart phones & who else?
I dunno where you're at but where I'm from, the Magic keyboards are ubiquitous and generally viewed positively. I'm using one right now and I have always really liked the way they feel, and I'm a mech snob.
FBA is a red flag for co-mingled with counterfeits. At least with 3rd party shippers, (prime or not) you know exactly where it's coming from.
Good. Crush activists, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of their women.
So you're claiming you never lived in Indiana, received no correspondence from the State of Indiana on a potential tax liability, and absolutely no warning that they were planning on seizing your account?
It's also continuous.

I buy what people say that it's way better for scrubbing video/audio if you do that a lot (lots of people previously bought special-purpose accessories for the same)... and mostly worse otherwise.
> Why would anyone buy shoes on Amazon? They own Zappos, whose focus is specifically footwear, and have a pretty good shopping experience. Never had a problem with counterfeits on Zappos.

I think a lot of people kinda lazily settled into using Amazon.com for all/most of their online shopping years ago when it was clearly better its problems weren't as pronounced. Those people aren't even bothering to find or look at other sites, and just buy whatever's on Amazon.com. It takes some extremely bad experience or serendipitous exposure to change that habit.

I was in that boat until I had serious problems with the quality of Amazon Logistics delivery and went to a Best Buy and discovered that (for many products I was buying) Amazon doesn't have any price advantage over physical retail anymore (and often its prices are far, far worse).

Sentiment Analysis of Cryptocurrency Subreddits
I don't disagree with you in theory, but in practice, a public ballot would likely chill voter behavior whether or not direct payments or bribery were involved. Particularly among groups and organizations like unions and churches. Or hell, your employer and your family.
Who here is defending "corporations" (by which I assume you mean corporate bad behavior)? Do you think Facebook and their ilk are the only actors who might want to hijack the cameras on your devices?
Your characterization of things makes it sound like you only read headlines and never the memo. Which is fine I guess, but it seems silly to have such strong opinions about something without looking into it at all.
It might also matter what "tier" of board you buy.

Getting the "basement bargain" board for $20... well, you get what you pay for.

But for each of those top brands, Gigabyte, ASUS, and MSI, buying their top tier products gets you a seriously good board.

The gaming boards tend to have a lot of features a workstation user might not need, like great overclocking support, etc... but with that quality comes stability. Worth every penny to get a good motherboard when doing a build.

That... and I no longer get cheap cases either... but that's another story. The moral? Don't skimp on your components, and you'll wind up with a much better system that lasts you for years.
Rumour has it that Amazon has a dedicated judge at the labour court in Munich. Just the existance of such a rumour is telling you a lot.
Reddit advertising is pretty close to a "sniper rifle" (you target based on subreddits). It's cheap to get going and very respectful of the privacy and tracking of users.

I think it's not used more by big-co's because it's relatively a small audience.

You are making an innumerate argument. The odds of dying in a car vs getting shot are relevant. There’s no meaningful risk of getting shot and the US is one of the safest places in the world. Those are facts. You should try and get out more.
It's pretty easy to resolve that with the bank. Google has notoriously bad customer service for people whose accounts it disables.

This is absolutely the case in Metro Vancouver; finding a 3+ bedroom, 2+ bathroom condominium is an almost insurmountable challenge.

The issue, almost entirely, is decades of municipal councils who could not imagine families wanting to live in towers, and so zoning for and approving almost exclusively singles and partnered housing in condos.

Recently, some of the councils have seen the err of their ways and begun approving a small amount of family housing; but it's woefully inadequate.

The mayor of New West himself resorted to buying two adjacent suites and joining them when he couldn't find family housing!
Earn Money with PaidLeaf
Absolutely. It's just that one of my main concerns is that we've been partially blaming foreign agitators on social media for that amplification, and I believe we need to recognize that we've done it to ourselves. Rather than look outside, I want us to start looking inwards... and I've believed that since before social media.

I'm trying to remain neutral here, though I suspect you can guess that I blame some specific individuals and groups for that. To my knowledge, they have shown no signs of letting up. They should be the easiest point of failure to fix, and if they won't, I don't know if any amount of analysis and understanding will help.
> I may have a Fn-key that works as stop/start, but unless I already know what's going on, I don't know what impact pressing the key will have.

Someone in a related thread said the app-specific keys are only available when the app has focus, so wouldn't you have the status of the app in front of you anyway?

In any case, I found the statement funny, because touch is flakey for me, so I never know what impact pressing a touch key will have.
Banks in the US run back and forth on this, and probably always will. Less locations saves money. However locations mean places where your customers come in and you can sell them "add-on". A lot easier to talk to someone about their car insurance when they are already coming in every week anyway.
The lack of a larger screen size coupled with the keyboard deficiencies are what drove me away from macOS to various linux distros.

While I'm immensely happy with my new OS - a lot more could be said about the hardware ( especially when running larger screens on pc that just can't keep up battery wise ).

This is a phenomenal step in the right direction, but one that comes too late for me. At this point I can't begin to consider jumping back until macOS sees some substantial improvements.
Fixed, inflexible keys defeat the purpose of a screen that can show anything.
