> why not unilaterally label all of it with: "may contain lies, omissions and half-truths"?

Even if Twitter's motive was to help its users, that's just common sense. Does Twitter have such a low opinion of its users that it needs to treat them like 5-year-olds?
That's because there are classes of supermarket instead.

- Go to a cheap supermarket and expect bruised stuff and pick out the stuff you like.

- Go to a more expensive one and expect no bruising.

- Go to a yet more expensive one and expect nothing but organic and ripe.

It's kind of like class expectations. You don't want to be known as the person who shops at a place with bruised stuff (and the supermarket appeals to shoppers that way).

You find that in farmer's markets as well. Go to an inexpensive one and expect bruising. Go to an expensive one and be angry if there is any bruising.
How can this possibly be true:

> This means you have probably experienced a rogue wave and not noticed. How? “If you’re out in calm conditions,” says Baschek, “and the waves are one meter high, and suddenly you experience a two meter wave, so what?”

Given that the next sentence says:

> In fact, Baschek says one wave per day, somewhere in the world’s oceans, is a rogue wave.

I would ask the question why is brand important? I'm assuming it is to get sales.

I cannot imagine a World without sales. I see that sales have been portrayed as some form of trickery performed by a person wearing a suit. Forget wolf of wall street. Forget the jargon. Forget Jerry Maguire for a moment. Forget psychological tricks. Let's get to basics.

Sales is an art and science of transferring feelings and solving problems.

Make Sales the centerpiece of everything in building a brand. It has a multi-fold impact.

are some key pointers:

1. Share your authentic story (this is your brand), this will help you build a brand
2. Share your unique point of view form your experiences in the past
3. Help people by solving their problems
4. Write as you speak & concise emails
5. Focus & follow-up are key to win 80% of the sales
6. Get comfortable on the phone or talking to strangers
7. Listen as much as you speak
8. Learn and iterate from every interaction

Again no tricks, no jargon. Just keep it simple. Hope this is helpful.

Good luck.

I had one running as a fileserver for years (OS/2). There was even a hack for the type 4 CPU complex that allowed you to put in a Pentium MMX Overdrive processor (you had to do some soldering). Worked like a charm. I think I had a 233MHz running on it.
>A third party can provide delivery like a CDN, but they cannot modify the content, or the signature would no longer match.

To make sure I understand, does this mean that in principle a third party other than Google can deliver the AMP pages? Is google working to facilitate that AMP hosting is open to everyone and calibrating their searches point to any and all alternative AMP hosters?
It really depends! Some forms of mental illness come with an inability to understand the illness as one of the diagnostic criteria -- this is part of why so many people are internally resistant to diagnosis.

I was diagnosed as bipolar 2 a few years ago, and I just assumed the mood swings I dealt with were normal. Doesn't everyone occasionally get too enthusiastic during a meeting? Or call in sick because they can't get out of bed? Turns out no, everyone has mood swings from time to time but mine were more predictable and severe enough they were preventing me from doing the things I wanted to. Hence the diagnosis and medication.

This is why mental health professionals are important. It can go both ways -- sometimes folks are just neurotic and overanalyzing themselves, and sometimes they're oblivious to the mental illness they do have. Medication and life changes help, but the first step is to see a professional who can help you sort through whether your mood issues rise to the level of clinical or not.

At least in Unix/Linux, I doubt the reshuffling of command flags and arguments is more than one percent of what happens in GUI programs. And it's probably far less.

Command-line people take backward compatibility very seriously. GUI designers seem to think it doesn't matter, because oh, everything's so easy to find. Fie on that.
>No, I am pointing out that your statement implying one can know if there's anything unusual in the code can be found by an audit. It cannot.

This is so plainly false its silly. Have you ever heard of a code review? What do you think security researchers do? Google Project Zero. Plenty of things are found all the time at the higher (and lower) levels of the stack, even if something unknown remains deep within.

>And most of the activity by big companies is not in code, it's in data it is currently beyond anything on the near horizon.

Audits have no problem finding out what type of data is being collected (see PCI || HIPAA compliance). That would be a great start: for people to be made explicitly aware of all the data points that are being collected on them.

In Turkey, building stops if any archaeological finding is found in the process, until they come in and resolve the situation of the ruin. This may even lead to cancellation of the building project.
Which is a great solution if everybody complies, but when you have people unfamiliar with the area, bad drivers, and anxiety over Google Maps directions is when it spells trouble. I've lived in Oregon for over 30 years, so I don't typically have a problem but I get nervous over the unpredictable behavior of other drivers in those situations I outlined.
This reminds me of the price/quality matrix:

* Using your own money to buy something for yourself: price and quality matter.

* Using your own money to buy something for someone else. Price matters, not quality.

* Using other people's money to buy something for other people. Neither price nor quality matter.

It's one of the explanations for how we end up with so much waste with governments and organizations. They use other people's money to buy something for other people.
The article touches on this, but it's very important to be aware that your retrospective perception of time is highly dependent on the number of new experiences you have in a given time frame. Years went longer when you were a kid because so much of the world was new to you.

If you want the weeks/months/years to feel more dense then the answer is to do new things as often as possible. Learn something new, try something new, read something new, go somewhere new. Going to a new park or hiking a new trail is a great way to bookend a week that will help keep your weeks feeling like weeks. Making new recipes and trying new foods can also help, if less so - I've personally slowly been trying every variety of coffee available to me over the course of the lockdown. So every few days I have a new memorable thing engaging multiple senses, and I'm learning to appreciate the nuances of something I used to largely mindlessly consume. I also have certain activities pegged to certain days to try to keep some perspective of the week as it moves, e.g. study Wednesday, board game Friday, D&D Sunday, etc.

All this had definitely helped me control my retrospective perception of time. Managing my prospective perception has proven to be far more challenging, if anybody has tips there I'd be appreciative.

I went to https://www.cnn.com/politics and the article title is right there: "Analysis: Trump takes his war on masks to new lows." The "Analysis" is even in bold font.

> You would have to be incredibly dishonest with yourself to read that article and not conclude that CNN is biased against Trump.

I read it as a non-values neutral piece, and that is not a slant against Trump so much as it's a stance against a pattern of behavior with harmful ramifications for the country's public health. Do you think there's a neutral ground between recklessly endangering public health for political gain versus not doing that?

> But it is foolish to think that private media corporations are unbiased, altruistic arbiters of the complete and objective truth.

I don't know who you're arguing with on this point.

Open source software is readily and legally user modifiable. It is often (but not always) readily extensible - it can actually be quite difficult to extend in some cases. (There's plenty of difficult to work with spaghetti on GitHub.)

Source available proprietary software is readily inspectable, but often not legal to modify (at least not for free). It might still be extensible (ex plugins) though!

Closed source proprietary software is difficult to inspect, difficult to modify, and generally illegal to modify (for most use cases, in most jurisdictions). As above, it could easily be extensible though.
Nonsense. The article makes several unfounded assumptions why apple designed such a keyboard. The keyboard is amazing! When it works.. I myself am a victim of its astonishing unreliability, would even join a class-action lawsuit against apple. But it's purely failed implementation.
Sometimes it's not even that; I've had bulbs where the glue holding the frosted glass part came off the base, because of the heat.
Right, but they could pack the food and ask me to verify before delivering, same as at starbucks.

In fact at starbucks I’m rather shocked this is an issue—you don’t have the weird issue of products being in someone’s cart while they appear in inventory, let alone blatant theft! You’d think they would be able to provide an accurate inventory in realtime.

EDIT: also, to clarify, “by phone” in my previous post meant I called the store to ask if they have the item my shopper couldn’t find. They put me on hold to check the shelves.

> ...he might have caught the virus while in an Amazon warehouse, therefore Amazon's a jerk.

from tfa:

He wants to know why Amazon isn’t being more transparent with its workers and the public. The company’s official policy states that it informs all employees who have come in contact with an infected worker, but Amazon refuses to release official numbers of cases or deaths among its workforce.

Reached for comment, Amazon said that it never received confirmation that Sentoso’s death was linked to COVID-19, so it did not send out a mass notification, and only informed his coworkers verbally of his passing.

...

Once the results, which have been reviewed by The Times, came in, Evan says he tried calling Amazon twice to inform the company, but was never called back. Soon after, Evan’s family retained a lawyer to file a worker’s compensation claim with the state, which listed coronavirus as his father’s cause of death.

He wants to know why the company was planning to stop allowing workers to take unlimited unpaid time off if they’re afraid to go in to work, and why Amazon is ending its $2 pay bump for workers if the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. shows few signs of slowing down.

...

Hundreds of workers at Amazon’s facilities in Hawthorne and Eastvale, in Riverside County, have signed and submitted petitions asking the company to close the facilities for two weeks after infections for thorough cleaning and send workers home with quarantine pay. Following worker complaints compiled by the Warehouse Workers Resource Center, Cal OSHA has also launched investigations into both facilities.
For a while I wondered if I'm the outlier since I feel substantially better now than I did before going into isolation. Then some of my close friends who were on anti-depression or anti-anxiety medication told me the same. They actually stopped taking the medication for months with no signs that the symptoms are coming back.

It's anecdotal and I have no idea how widespread this is or why it happens, at least to people for whom self-isolation didn't work in the past. I can only imagine that the isolation may relieve some of the social pressure without leaving you with the feeling that you have to go to extraordinary measures to achieve it, it doesn't feel so self inflicted like self-isolation does under regular conditions. Now it's an external cause and applies to everybody.
The do sometimes get screens at night, but I'm a big stickler about no blue light after 9pm normally (although now that's no blue light after midnight).

I've changed out bulbs throughout the house so that we can light the whole house in 1850K light at night, and all screens use some sort of red-shifting (screens that can't redshift like TVs get turned off).

But you're right, if they get too much screen is does keep them up longer. But even without the blue screens they will stay up playing with toys under 1850K lights until the very AM hours!
Even these?

> For Bob the marketing guy, it's just another tool to create a website.

To me this is the "emperor has no clothes" about the whole ecosystem. The actual users don't care if it's a static file, a database CMS, or a herd of cats running around frantically typing up HTTP responses. So it's odd to me that the big selling point is "we did something neat in how we made our product!". Right, but what does it do to make your users life better than using ghost or wordpress, or whatever?

I know that some devs see it as a rails like thing to combine with graphql, but if I was going that route I personally wouldn't start with something that's ostensibly a static site generator.

But here we have an example of Twitter modifying communications in transit (by attaching additional information that is not metadata and not part of the original message). This would be like the post office marking letters from you as "do not open" in bold red letters before they reached the receiver.
Agreed, I used peapod back in philly and it was worth every penny.
Your crude caricature relies on the existing CEO, and the board, to be incompetent and easily swayed by bogus numbers. If they were indeed incompetent, its not exactly a shock if the company implodes then is it?
Before lockdown I would walk to the store almost everyday or every other day buying only what I needed for meals for that day or two. After lockdown I've only ventured to the store once and have since switched to ordering from Instacart for most things but now I feel compelled to either buy more non-perishables in larger quantities or things I can readily freeze in order to meet the order minimums. It's been mostly fine overall and I basically just chalk up any mishaps, which have been minor, to the cost of the privilege of being able to wait out this pandemic from the comfort of home, but I do know that when this is over I I'll be glad to be able to shop in-person again for most things. I might still buy toilet paper and paper towels in bulk though.
on irc (unless the server hides it) your hostname is always visible.
Agreed. Shopper buys yellow cilantro with brown spots and bag is full of water. I plan a meal around protein and shopper gets everything except the protein. Shopper substitutes regular soda for diet soda. Everything at the store is not listed on the site.
At least in Western Europe, there is near zero chance you’ll get an unexpected call from any of those. Either you’re the one calling, or updates will be sent via email / message / WhatsApp / some specialized app. Probably another efficiency consequence of human labor being insanely expensive.
> shopper buys obviously moldy fruit.

This happened with my last Costco purchase. I don't know how the produce was even out on the floor let alone being picked up by the delivery person who clearly didn't use their sense of vision (nor smell!). The previous time they picked some random substitution for something I explicitly marked as "do not substitute" due to allergies. I think I'm done using that service.
Perhaps they see it as targeting a political figure because of political differences rather than trying to prevent the spread of misinformation. I'm not seeing any annotations on a number prominent members of Congress spreading misinformation.

Where in the US Constitution does it say presidents cannot threaten companies? Obama had his share of threats. I'm sure they could find a suitable legal issue with Twitter targeting Trump while ignoring members of Congress.
> Playing devil's advocate: an enormous amount of food waste is caused by people simply refusing to buy ugly food.

Playing double-devil's advocate:

1) Most people have no problem buying ugly food. Much of the standardization of produce comes from packaging and packing requirements. Non-standard produce is still consumed in other forms: juice, frozen, soup, etc.

2) The vast majority of food waste comes from unsold restaurant food and food that goes uneaten at home (goes bad before you can consume it). This has nothing to do with ugly food.

3) The bruised part on apples tastes like crap. It's mealy and sour and fermenting and off-flavored. It's not my responsibility to eat bruised apples because a store can't be careful in handling. Blame the supply chain and grocery staff, not consumers.
The people upvoting this now are the people who were the teenagers when this was new. I don't think having a shared cultural history means anyone necessarily still agrees with this stuff. The fact that it's so shockingly out of place compared to what you usually see on HN just tells me we all (mostly) matured and aren't like this any more, and you might be surprised how many women grew up on this too.
In a sense, it hard not to agree with you. The trajectory was set a good while ago. The destination did not change in any real way. From that perspective, you are right. It has been the case for 20 years and US did not attack Iran.

There is a difference though. For example, with Vietnam, the press was largely careful not ruffle administration's feathers. With Iraq, there was some mild questioning, but few of the established media questioned the narrative pushed by the administration. Now look at the response of the press to even a possibility of another full out war in ME ( at best divided along partisan lines ). That was one of the few times, I actually agreed with Tucker.

The change you are thinking of is that the war of Iran did not happen yet ( and it likely would have based on the publicly available information [1],[2]). If left to Washington alone, I am willing to bet good money, it would have happened already.

Yes, fact checking a single vocal and influential individual on everything they say is indeed a solved problem!

We've been doing it for years, on every president and congressman in America.

There are such things as indisputable falsehoods. And when important people relay them as the truth there are dozens of fact checking organizations that exist only to call these individuals out and hold them accountable to their word.

The fact that Twitter has started doing this with one specific individual is neither new nor innovative.
There is political violence on the horizon in the US. I would not come here. I'm looking for a way out myself.
This is a point of concern I have that I rarely see others bring up. The problem with A is that it creates a loop hole as all the next government official has to do is pick a host that aligns with their own views to communicate to the masses.

Imagine a future president picks a Catholic forum to make the same sort of announcements that Trump currently does, specifically a catholic forum that bans any advocacy of pro-choice discussion. It is relatively easy to find a similar forum on any side of a modern hot button political issue.
