> How do you objectively report on trump without it painting him in a bad light?

You are missing the point. Using objective reporting to paint a bad person in a bad light is exactly what "the media" should do.

I went to cnn's homepage and clicked on this article[1]. Lets look at the first paragraph:

> President Donald Trump's use of the bully pulpit to defy his own government's advice on face coverings has turned into the era's latest ideologically motivated assault on science and civility. His noncompliance is a symbol of his refusal to adopt the customary codes of the presidency during a crisis and his habit of turning even a dire national moment to political advantage.

You can't possibly call that objective reporting. The factual content is true, but highly highly subjective and filled with inflammatory language.

Saying "Trump refuses to wear a facemask in defiance of $HealthExpert's advice" is objective. Calling that act "an assault on science and civility" is a heavily inflammatory and subjective stance.

To be clear, I don't disagree with CNN here. Trump is being dumb. But you can't pretend like CNN is objective or unbiased.

CNN, like all news media, is a private, profit seeking corporation who will pander to their audience to generate ad revenue. And there is nothing inherently wrong with that. But turning around and treating this multi-million dollar corporation as the sole arbiter of absolute, objective truth is plain foolish.

EDIT: Some argue that this is an opinion piece and so my point is invalid. Up in the top left corner, this article is marked as "Analysis by $Author" instead of just "by $Author". They don't label it as an opinion, and they don't place it differently on their home page. It is an analysis on current events, written by a CNN reporter, hosted on the CNN front page. This is an explicit endorsement of the content of the article, and it's crazy to say that CNN is absolved of all journalistic integrity because this article is an "analysis" versus "regular" news. The only difference is the addition of the single word "Analysis" hidden in the top left corner. This article is clearly meant to be treated as any other.

I suppose that is the problem with using examples, though. People would rather pick apart the example rather than face the larger claim. Without examples, of course, the point would be dismissed as unsubstantiated. It's just not possible to change people's minds, I guess.

EDIT 2: This is what an actual opinion piece looks like: https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/21/opinions/trump-racist-tweet-m...

They disclaim that the article is the authors opinion, they host it in the opinions section, and have opinion in the header, etc. The article I linked is not an opinion piece.

> When you perform a GET request for these assets you are being monitored.

You'll only ever retrieve Google AMP cache results from the Google search page, where they were already able to track if you made such a request, since the link you clicked has trackers in it.

So from that perspective, nothing changes.

> PS: You work for Google. Do you work on this project?

No, I work on mostly internal infrastructure. My interest in AMP is simply that I don't dislike the AMP "experience", it's fine. But more importantly, I legitimately don't get the HN hysteria around AMP. Returning to your concern, literally nothing changes with AMP vs non-AMP.

I don't get it. The most compelling concern I've heard is that it's annoying to have to couple parts of your infra to AMP-standard stuff. And I sort of understand that. But even that isn't different than previous SEO/ranking changes that required changes to the page.

The United States and Denmark are very different countries.

I'll refrain from opining as to what is cause and what is effect, but the differences are many.

Just to clarify further - the man cites nothing but his own blog articles but makes sweeping statements as though they are fact. This is speculation on medical approaches for an understudied virus by a man totally unqualified who feels it unnecessary to inform his audience as such.

No, its implication is that claiming that something is a "fact" does not mean it actually is a fact. Which is perfectly true.
> Growth requires the citizen base to continually spend more.

If the stimulus bill had gone directly to that, then this might have made a lot more sense.

Forget UBI, the trillion dollars in PPP, if it was put into people's checking accounts as a reverse payroll tax might have had a very different (& aligned with consumerist values) economic result.

As in, take the "employee as a cost" out of the employer's books & turn every extra employee just extra hands to work at your business, just paid for by the negative taxes (this punishes the under-the-table payment tax dodges directly).

The fact that they gave PPP, without actually putting money into a paycheck absolutely sucked if your goal was to stop the money from slowing down in the economy.

A dollar I spend turns into many more dollars spent, than a dollar I saved.

But if I know I'm out on the street once that number drops to 0, I won't spend right now, even if it is a necessary purchase.

> legitimate sites that don't run malicious advertising

That's the problem.

There are plenty of legitimate sites that have run malicious advertising because they used an ad network that ended up allowing one. Like Forbes: https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/09/malvert...

So as a precaution, no. Today's totally safe ad is tomorrow's malvertising.

There's a joke I saw somewhere. When you can Netflix someone picks up the phone and says "your show is greenlit, who am I talking to?"

Their overall quality feels like it's gone down and their non-netflix content feels incomplete (many movie series are only partially available). In that way Netflix has replaced basic cable for me.

Whereas HBO and Amazon Prime still produce shows that have a certain wow factor in terms of quality.
Except all retail and restaurants have not closed. I live in a state that has had one of the most aggressive and successful responses to the virus, and people are still out and about in nice weather. The big box stores and groceries were open the whole time. Most restaurants have been open for take-out only, the whole time or most of the time. Smaller retailers are now allowed to re-open. People have been ordering a ton of stuff from online retailers. Commerce has slowed, and if everything somehow went back to normal next week we'd see the effects of just this initial slowdown for years to come. We are a service-based economy that depends on continual consumer growth that will never come back the way it was. The deep systemic impacts of all this have not really started yet.
One huge cognitive benefit of it is: When I'm in the kitchen and use the last of something, or it's getting close, I open up the app, scan the barcode (or search if I don't have the code), and it just shows up in the next grocery run with no further thought.
The merge point is as soon as the lanes touch. The dominant traffic flow is I5 to I84 and every last one of those cars has to switch lanes to get there, and some traffic will need to cross in front of them to get from I405 to I5. There's about a quarter mile to make it all happen, while on a bridge with narrow lanes 130 feet in the air, moving at speed. No, you will not be leaving large gaps to let people in, LOL. You will back off and leave exactly enough room for a car to get in front of you (assuming you are not just going to trade lanes). It works okay as long as everyone acts as expected and nobody wimps out. It can get dangerous when grandma goes through there and panics when it all gets really dense for a moment.

Anecdotally: I'm CTO at a custom apparel manufacturer. Demand plummeted for events and foot traffic at our customer's stores died, so nobody is buying high end suits. Our revenue is now 20% of what it was back in January. We got our PPP loans, so we kept everyone in the USA employed, but had to cut all salaries above $50k by 25%. And we will probably have to have a second round of cuts and have some layoffs in June.
>Hm, is fact checking solved problem?

It doesn't need to be a solved problem to provide value by flagging highly questionable content. And many statements are known to be false or misleading, and providing info to people who don't know better is a step in a positive direction.

Hey, great question, and your setup seems very secure, but I’m sure it would be nice to reduce some of the overhead. The right way to support your ephemeral bastion use case with Twingate will ultimately be to use a public API that we plan to launch later this year. That will allow you programmatically deploy connectors as needed.

However, I’d also question whether you even need your ephemeral bastions anymore with Twingate. A big part of the value is that you can do away with any public entry points (even if they are secured as well as you’ve described) and very tightly control who can access hosts on your deeper network. Do your bastions do more than provide access points? For example, session auditing is pretty common.

It's not as crazy an idea as it sounds. You may already be forced to. You cannot not serve people based on a protected characteristic.
The reason they cannot cooperate is that the member states will always want to apply their own rules and local regulations, and allow different levels of incompetence across jurisdictions.

Specifically, Belgian police and standards are a joke. Just look at the way they bungled the response to the French terrorist attack where the perpetrator(s) fled to Brussels / Molenbeek. The rest of the country might be ok, but Brussels has exposed that the Belgian government is unable to govern its own largest city. And how Belgian passports are issued locally by every town government rather than a centralized authority. A joke.
Unless you're testing a zero day, and staging an alternate route of infiltration to hide your installation of threat persistence.

I tried the XPS 15 7590 late last year before I switched back to Mac when the 16" MBP came out.

It felt like absolute garbage in comparison. Trackpad was so bad I had to use the touchscreen to scroll. Internet stopped working intermittently. Display felt like far inferior quality (and, like you said, your choices are too few pixels or too many).

It was honestly a confusing experience to me, like reviewers or other people who treat these machines as comparable were living on a different planet or something. Of course I don't expect everyone to like Macs and there's nothing wrong with preferring the Dell but I don't understand why the quality differences are not more widely acknowledged.

But at what point does an service cross from being an platform in an competitive market to an crucial part of the infrastructure used by an society for communication?

If twitter/facebook is allowed to serve as a primary means for an government organisation/department to serve as the primary way which it communicate it's not to hard to argue that that line have been crossed where it have to act as an "open access" common carirer, from an pragmatic real world stand point.

Putting an purely technical definition as the core of this debate is arguing over how many angels can fit on an pin needle, and not of any real value for deciding what kind of society we want.

I think OP meant that psychologists/psychiatrists don't recognize the social nature of mental illness at all. Just because you can't change society doesn't mean you should tell patients that they can lift themselves out of depression through sheer willpower, healthy eating habits, and exercise. Those things can help but if you don't know how you're going to pay rent next month and you've got two kids, you're going to have serious anxiety.
I wonder if stores are finding that they have lower shoplifting now that their staff are walking purchases out to cars.
This doesn't make any sense. If you don't know how to create one, if you don't know how to test that you don't have leak, how can you know you don't have leaks?

A simple python memory leak:

a = get_a_huge_object()
use_huge_object(a)

# a function that takes long
# that does not use a, but allocates more resources
f()

You can fix this by doing:

# get_huge_object() returns a context manager
# it deallocates at the end
with get_huge_object() as a:
use_huge_object(a)

f()

or even just:

def g():
a = get_a_huge_object()
use_huge_object(a)
g()

f()

if you can rely on built-in deallocators.

I hardly believe javascript code is divinely protected against something like this.
It's even worse than English v German imo (speaking both, and descendant from Cantonese, married to a mainlander)

The german grammar is a fair point though. Makes every sentence sound like churchill trying to be annoying on purpose.

It's like English v German, but imagine that German had a bunch of sounds that seem identical to you but are actually different sounds (you just can't hear the difference). Imagine that German Wasser (water) and Wäscher (washer, ish) sounded exactly the same to you, and you couldn't tell the difference. Now imagine that literally every single word had dozens of those identically-sounding-but-actually-different-sounding-to-native-speakers examples.

The issue imo is the increase in tones. Mandarin has 4-5 tones, cantonese has like 6-9. And the tones in Mandarin are much easier to distinguish.

TBH I can see an argument for a college student living at home with low expenses, a job, and/or plenty of loans having more disposable income than 90% of the population. But I’d hesitate to call that the average student experience. The average student income seems to be around $25k/yr as best as I can find on a quick search.

I don’t see how the math works out for your average student to have more disposable income than someone making 300k/yr. How does that work?

There's an extremely easy line to draw: "if you run the server, you make the rules".

If you run a DNS server, you're free to refuse to carry any record you want. And people are free to use or not use your DNS server, based on its policies. (There are various DNS servers that purport to block ads and malware, for instance.)

If you run a blog, you can choose to not allow comments at all, or moderate them as you see fit. If someone wants to reply in a way you don't want to host, they can respond via their own blog.

If you run a hosting company, you can (and should) refuse to host spammers, malware, people launching DDoS attacks, and so on.

If you run an email server, you can choose to reject spam.

Many interesting and desirable policies happen at the meta-level, based on that fundamental principle along with freedom of association. People will choose which servers to use based on the nature and quality of moderation; it's one of the defining aspects of a service.
