If you are new to blogging, and looking to improve, just keep practicing. Some great blogs posts are worthless to other demographics, and sometimes a 10 minute post is what you'd end up as your most popular content.

Speaking from personal experience, I spend about 3 hours minimum on a blog post. I write in markdown, and of I have to create graphs or diagrams, I spend more time. There are some posts that took me a week or so to complete.

You are not responding to the content of what you are replying to.

It is irrelevant how many true things CNN says, or how broadly other organizations agree with them. CNN is still not presenting things in an objective way. Which means that those you would like to convince will flip the bozo bit because of the bias, and never even hear the evidence.

Note that we seldom notice bias in others when it matches our own. So CNN's bias is invisible to its core audience. Just as Fox News' bias is invisible to theirs. But it can't be missed by anyone whose biases differ, or who are actively looking for whether things are presented with bias.

But http://gatewayjr.org/how-a-popular-media-bias-chart-determin... gets it right. CNN skews liberal, and isn't particularly accurate. It is better than Fox News...but not by much.

I didn't feel right about putting it in my original comment, since it didn't seem relevant and honestly it feels weird to type this out on HN, but I'm attractive. Before Tinder and Bumble I didn't have trouble dating but now it's crazy. It's effortless to get dates with attractive, successful women. Things didn't used to be this imbalanced and I don't think it is completely fair to say to someone with a less attractive face or to someone that isn't over six feet that they should learn how to dress properly and that will sort things out for them. Yes exercise and proper nutrition go a long way, and I tell multiple people a month about the basics of nutrition[0] or about how to exercise[1] but I don't pretend that this will fix everything. I think it is important that lucky people are honest about the current situation.

The obvious difference is that Twitter isn't the government.

> How is this different than today, where many sites use js from google, either as a cdn or part of the ads infrastructure?

It's different because it's a requirement. nytimes.com is moving to phase out all third-party advertising data, so presumably they could design their page such that it only accesses their resources.

With a signed exchange, that would allow them to nicely compartmentalize and contain privacy to their site, if they aren't required to load and run some Google supplied JavaScript. The argument that Google already knows that someone visited the page so it's no big deal is not compelling, since there is a big different in knowing someone clicked to visit a page, and having carte blanche over loading your own code on the page in question.

Can you include the AMP rquiers JS inline such that it implement an AMP spec version, or do you need to load it externally? If you can supply it inline, that's great, and what people would want (as long as it doesn't load additional third party resources). If you can't then you're providing Google with an extra level of control that's not really needed, and that's what people are against.

> (And further, what kind of nefarious thing do you fear Google will do? How likely is it that they will do so, in your opinion?)

If we go forth only considering what we think people will do, and not limiting what they can do, we're destined to be upset with the outcome. If not from Google itself, then in twenty years when someone buys Google, or Google sells off a division that houses information, or there's a breach and it's exposed, or some other company rides on Google's coattails and uses the same precedence to get data but is less trustworthy.

The point is that some people don't want to share this information, and would choose not to do so if there was an easy way to tell when it was being gathered. Fighting against new methods that seek to make it implicit instead of explicit is the only real way to do that.

CRI is a pretty worthless measurement, it only reflects the rendering of color in a specific CCT. It’s fairly easy to make a high CRI warm bulb because it can suck at reproducing the lower end of the spectrum (blue and green), or a cool one where it sucks at the high end, but a neutral temperature isn’t feasible due to the spiky nature of light emitted by white LEDs.

It seems like you are trying a classic ad personam, I agree that Rust was one of the changing factor, I also wrote it, but just for Firefox, not in general.

Which is the original point of this sub-thread.

I don't think Firefox is the only large project out there. nor the largest.
I'm sympathetic to this line of thinking, even though I don't necessarily like the direction the rhetoric leads. Google offices in America also employ a great number (and proportion) of Chinese nationals.
Genuine question: what exactly are you taking notes of?

I have tried using tools like this before, but in all of my attempts I have found that I actually don't have much to take notes for; for example, I have never felt like "I wish I had taken notes of this", because I feel like any kind of search engine is doing this on a much larger scale, practically for combined notes of millions of people in a much efficient way than I probably could ever do.

I am genuinely asking this to learn more about and maybe adopt note-taking as a habit, any input is appreciated.

Not even. If the produce made it to the store shelves then it is by it's definition not ugly. They should see the amount of produce that isn't sold at markets because it doesn't meet supermarket chain standards for appearance. We used to fill up the back of a pickup truck, in the late 80s and early 90s, with reject carrots for $10 from a local farmer. They were perfectly fine. We'd always keep a bunch for ourselves, of course, but the bulk of these carrots were used as bait traps. That still goes on today anywhere that carrots are grown.

> Attractive, fit, intelligent men get a completely outsized proportion of the interest on apps like Bumble and Tinder, while even median men are mostly ignored.

I exported my data from Tinder and I've had to swipe 25,000 times per successful long-term relationship.

That's a pretty terrible ratio but it only works out to ~10 hours of swiping and another ~10 hours of dating per successful relationship that lasts months or years (or maybe forever!)

As a result I've only been single for a small minority of my adult life.

What we know about video conferencing with Jitsi Meet
It would be interesting to see such a curriculum in the concrete, perhaps some country has something like that.

For example, we had something approximating it in Hungary, in history class. The very fist history lesson we had, was on historical sources, how historians work, "who benefits?", how you can know that a coin saying "minted in 350 BC" must be fake etc. And then later it was all facts and gospel, no critical presentation of different possibilities and interpretations and framings. Because it would be overwhelming.

But to actually train critical thinking, all classes should be redesigned in this manner, encouraging kids to poke holes in the material, but teachers can barely venture out of the confines of the curriculum. An elementary school physics teacher won't be able to explain things to you the same way a professor could if you raise some criticism or find a plothole in the simplified lie-to-children presentation. They'll just say, "that's how it is, memorize it".

It's a very difficult problem and hardly scalable.
While I'd argue that the controls (at least for rotation, possibly also for translation) should be inverted, the controls are actually pretty decent.

Try running it again but focus on zeroing the pitch, roll, and yaw first before moving on to the x, y, z. Once you have rotation under control, zero in your X, Y positional offsets until you are lined up. Finally burn your Z and then slow as you approach, all the while keeping the X, Y, Pitch, Roll, Yaw as close to zero as possible.

The big issue is that fine grain translational motion is nigh impossible while dealing with any type of rotational motion. Once you kill the rotational motion, it's intuitive like using crane-game controls.
This presumes equal weight of all content. Some content gets far more attention and thus must face a higher degree of scrutiny. This is the only way to curate at scale.

Apple does this with the App Store, where it is possible to get away with breaking app store rules if the app is not downloaded very often. It is not worth the time and energy for Apple to challenge apps that no one is downloading in the first place.

On twitter, with regard to illegal content it also has to matter the degree. How illegal / and reprehensible is it? How often is this tweet being requested?

Agreed. This is a fluff piece, nothing more.

The author even says that he thought the butterfly keyboards were better for typing -- i.e., for their purpose:

> I find the butterfly switches far crisper and snappier to use than the softer, mushier scissor-switch

His only point seems to be that Apple not did care about reliability, but I find that highly suspect.

It seems to me that Apple's problem was likely insufficient testing. If they had known that the keyboards would break in real-world usage, they wouldn't have shipped them.

> Twitter is merely labelling a tweet as being factually incorrect, it's not hiding the content.

I think it really depends on what you view twitter as. If it's a communications platform, like your phone, then yes 'merely labelling a tweet' is as troubling as your phone company deciding to shut your call off when you mention to a friend that you're going to vote for Biden. If Twitter is a publishing platform, then it certainly can expose its editorial bias, but one must really consider whether or not it should have to pay its writers.

>private companies [...] free speech

One thing that seems relevant in the discussion about speech restrictions on social media is the fact that most if not all of the major websites are deliberately set up to maximize user engagement. The site is designed, measured and iterated on in order to induce users to comment as much as possible.

That practice seems to be incompatible with unrestricted speech. Eventually people run out of nice things to say. Facebook's policy is very obviously "if you don't have anything nice to say, say something anyway, we want money". Free speech has been sustainable historically because it's natural for people to think before they say something controversial, but now we have websites that actively undermine that built-in filter.
You can't convince people to stop buying iPhones and Harley-Davidsons in any case because they're not selling products, they're selling an image and people want to have status symbols and fit in with the image.

EDIT2: FTR, I did not think of my post as some supposed big revelation, rather I mostly wanted to share my appreciation for the various Swastika forms (as old graphical art); and also thought banning Swastikas in general might be insensitive to Asians.
so? you're free to not use the service; it still isn't a free speech issue in terms of limiting expression.
I don't understand why the world in general is worried about Hong Kong being taken over by the Chinese. In 1842, Hong Kong was a chinese territory. It was taken over by the British during the first and second opium wars and then leased out to the British for 99 years. The keyword here being leased out. If now China is wresting back control of its territory, how is that disputed. The people of Hong Kong always knew that their autonomy was only till the time when the lease ends.

Interestingly, When the union flag was raised over Possession Point on 26 January 1841, the population of Hong Kong island was about 7,450, mostly Tanka fishermen and Hakka charcoal burners living in a number of coastal villages. Today Hong Kong's population is 7.5 Million so 1000 times its original population. So every body who came later knew about the lease and the length of the autonomy.

Ah, I hear you - I'm not a fan of enabling a bunch of arbitrary Babel plugins either. But many metaframeworks (Next.js, Create React App) use Babel behind the scenes and use its TypeScript plugin for out-of-the-box TypeScript support. That's very useful, as long as the libraries you use don't use any of the Babel-incompatible features - which is most of the time, but not for TypeORM.

So yes, it's exactly because I don't want to be configuring all kinds of language support for my projects that I'd recommend being able to work with (plain!) Babel with a TypeScript plugin.
