As many of those who have read academic papers know, even claims with citations are often suspicious. Time and time again I've found cited sources that don't say what was claimed.

Sometimes, citations are not specific enough (e.g., citing a huge book rather than the specific page with the evidence). So, better than giving a URL would be to give a URL with a "fragment" if possible, i.e., #id.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_fragment

Chrome can be even more specific now with this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/link-to-text-fragm...

I don't read the article as saying:

URI == trust claims of content

Rather, it is saying that:

URI provides strong evidence that the content legitimately comes from the named source.

And more specifically:

If the content does not have a URI, you should put little weight on the attribution.

Evaluating the validity of the claims is always left as an exercise for the reader.
I agree that there's a real push-and-pull between people trying to be responsive to content that is in some way damaging to other people (props up stereotypes, promotes some kind of violence, false information that sounds plausible but could get someone hurt, etc.) and those who would prefer leave content as it is and turn up the volume on some other type of corrective measure, like annotating clearly untrue content or information that has been proven false.

That said, I'm not convinced that one side is winning such that we'll end up losing primary sources. I was disappointed see episodes of "Community" pulled from Netflix and Hulu (one recent example) but the episode remains on DVD, saving it from the proverbial "memory hole".

I don't think anyone should be convinced of the veracity of information simply from seeing it linked to another page. Surely we have to click the link and then judge the source for ourselves.
EDIT: @OP I do not see a link to the source for the addon. I think a lot of users would be vary of installing closed-source addons.

The entirety of the article is relevant for a few months at best.

As for the negative connotation, it's certainly there, but it sure seems to me that it's meant to be taken facetiously, presumably made under the assumption that it's relatively unlikely to offend anyone. I would guess that a Venn diagram of people who read this blog (or follow news sites that would link an article on this blog), and people who hadn't heard of the Twitter hack, probably looks a lot like an illustration of Mars and the Sun, drawn to scale.

There's always Scalzi's Law waiting in the wings when someone tries to be humorous on the Internet, but, considering that this particular formula doesn't have any clearly discernible minority group as its victim, or anything like that, I'm inclined to say it's safe to stick to HN's 3rd guideline on commenting here.
There are so many discourse fads, especially on HN, like the time there was a lot of logical fallacy taxonomy. The echo chamber effect is very real. Even the use of echo chamber is and echo chamber. I guess its unavoidable that memes are a very real method we use for group cognition. I also noticed the background steel thing came up a lot recently.
Unpopular opinion: the snobbery in the first two sentences is misdirected. Those absolutely are not requirements for most coffee drinkers. I mean, I do the food snob thing for a lot of items, but coffee just barely qualifies relative to areas where there is genuine variability (tea, cheese or wine, say). For 95%+ of drinkers, coffee is coffee and the only really signficant distinguishing qualities are the roast (which persists on a shelf) and brew strength.

Note that I'm not saying that there aren't coffee snobs who feel strongly about this. I'm saying that the nature of the product is that there will never be enough of them to matter.
Honestly, your comments so far were the most negative thing I saw in all this.

Exactly. This idea has merit and is worth thinking about. But in much of the Sun Belt, with some of the worst-hit states, it's going to be pretty hard to do until October or so: if it's not temp + humidity, it's sheer temp alone (like here in the Southwest). Not to mention we're in thunderstorm season. This can only be done with suitable outdoor spaces, which do not exist yet in sufficient quantities, and there's not enough time or money to build it now in time for August opening.

(I'll admit I only skimmed the article. It may have addressed some or all of these points.)

None of the options are marked experimental. (Specific features are marked unstable on the status page)

"Under heavy development" does not mean anything about stability. The kernel itself is under heavy development. ZoL is under heavy development. The disk format is stable, which is what matters.

SUSE provides commercial support for btrfs and uses it as the default. That's pretty much as non-experimental as is gets.

The other commenters here are right about the importance of text contrast, but there is a consensus in typography that pure white on pure black contributes to eye strain and decreased stamina when reading. This is especially true for people with astigmatism who experience a glowing effect around the letters known as halation.
While there is room here for both personal preference and accessibility needs for a true 21:1 contrast ratio, a better default would be to use a white on a dark gray background. Supporting a dark mode design is a lot harder than just inverting the colors, which this site appears to fall short on.
Logic is sensitive to the meaning of words to a degree and so if I can pick out the context to apply certain deductive rules, then I know what the relevant words mean, at least to the degree that they indicate logical structure.

It's possible that a program could learn when to apply certain rules based on its own if-then statements and bypass understanding, but that's not the architecture of GPT-3. If it learns the statistical/structural properties of a string of text such that it can apply the correct logical transformations based on context, the default assumption should be that it has some rudimentary understanding of the logical structure.

To add to what you're saying about less chunky risk...people in the market-making industry also prefer to cross with retail customers because there is less negative selection bias. Retail customers are generally less sophisticated traders and they are less likely to trade fast alphas, insider information about pending news, etc.

That said, there's money to be made in providing liquidity on chunky trades, as long as the price is right.

Cubans, and few other ex-Eastern Bloc countries were peddling interferons as miracle cures in the past.

The reality showed a big part of it being a cargo cult science, except for a few cases when it wasn't, and they actually worked.

The same thing was for the bacteriophage medicine from ex-USSR coutnries. It indeed works, and it is in deed very arcane to most of Western antibiotic researchers, but it's nowhere near the "miracle cure" they peddle it as.
It's just annoyingly expensive for Windows boxes, with all of the licensing and stuff. Microsoft includes licenses for running VDI in Azure with Microsoft 365 now, but it still requires a full on-prem Active Directory setup (which you probably don't have if you are using Microsoft 365). And then on top of those licenses, you also have to get Citrix/VMWare licenses if you don't want to use Azure. It becomes more expensive than hiring a IT person to just manage all of the laptops you deploy everywhere (except in certain scenarios like healthcare).

I want to live in a world where we all have SunRays and I just plug in a card and show my session running in the cloud, but it's too darn expensive still (and everyone in enterprise is too scared to try and build one themselves since the big vendors have Microsoft's blessing when building their solutions). That one time I had a VDI at an internship, boy was it magical. Being able to walk into a conference room, type my password and show people something was extremely powerful.

Yes those are small things but its the mindset that will make you more conscious and less egocentric in a long run.

It dominates the server, because many FOSS users refuse to pay for tooling don't have any other option than paying subscriptions for their servers to keep running, or very least they need to buy hardware.

FOSS Desktop doesn't scale to keep a company running under such premises, because a large majority refuses to pay, and living from patreons and donations only goes as far.

Which is why everyone that wants to make money with Desktop FOSS software, either moved it beyond a paywall served via browsers or to mobile OS stores.

From my point of view FOSS friendliness is a marketing action, where underdog companies play nice, use non-copyleft licenses and as soon as they get rescued due to positive vibes, whatever, hop again into dual licenses to keep their business rolling.

That would make sense for anyone who doesn’t think democracy is worth preserving, or doesn’t know the dependency it has on the degree to which citizens are informed. Brandolini’s Law implies that there is a latency between disinformation and its disinfection via sunlight that can be exploited to tip elections.

I used CSS's proximity snapping. It doesn't override your scroll, but it does snap the top of a section if the section is relatively close to the top of the screen when you stop scrolling. It works much better in Firefox and Safari than Chromium. For large screen viewing, the layout is intended to take up the full screen.

I am experimenting with magazine layouts and editorial design. I'm sorry if you don't like it. That's ok. I created this for me and just decided to let people in.
Any claim with a URI should also be treated with suspicion.

There is plenty of reliable information locked away in offline books and government documents and all kinds of other non Google-able locations. This is true even for brand new information (which is why we continue to have “leaks”). Meanwhile there is plenty of misinformation with URIs.

I would go so far as to say online status is almost orthogonal to accuracy, except that in theory at least online information is more readily disproven.

(Never mind that the whole core example of the article is off. The sketchy unsourced image also has a URI.)

50 Days of Protest in Portland. Violent Police Response. This Is How We're Here
The article isn't talking about security through obscurity at all. What it says is that Mastodon doesn't have a single point of failure like Twitter because it's a distributed network. With Twitter you can hack the entire network by compromising a single employee into giving you their credentials. With Mastodon you'd have to exploit each individual instance independently. This is orders of magnitude more effort.
It's "immune" to the extent that it is impossible to have a coherent identity across instances.
Interesting perspective, but it seems like this is just an ad for easyDNS and their "Proactive Nameservers," though I couldn't imagine a better time than the misstep of a behemoth of a competitor in this space. Not to detract from the more important discussion about the internet's dependence on Cloudflare overall.
There is simply no privacy on the Internet. =)
It's sad, but in the modern model of the Internet, where huge companies keep all information on their servers, it is impossible to talk about privacy.https://utopia.fans/privacy/tiktok-collects-users-data-delet... All personal data is saved, sometimes hackers steal them, after that they go on sale to the darknet. To be honest, this makes you think that people should return the decentralized Internet as it was at the very beginning.

>I always wondered why more stores didn't do this.

It's not an efficient way to ship stuff. Wandering around a store picking an order takes much longer than an optimized warehouse.

Square footage is much more expensive retail than in a warehouse. So the area (if there's even room for it) where you pack and ship stuff costs more.

Shipping is more expensive because you are doing a few boxes a day instead of a semi-truck a day to UPS/FedEx/USPS

It just doesn't work that well. Fine as a stop gap for a small retailer dipping their toes in the online market. But for any sort of scale the warehouse model is much better.

I think the article is way off here. Yeah, some Sam's Clubs in the middle of nowhere were converted and a high end retailer has the margins to absorb the inefficiency. But the idea that existing retail is going to convert to warehouses at any sort of scale is laughable. The real estate costs are prohibitive and they'll end up somewhere an hour away where land is cheap.

The thing I never see mentioned when the pros and cons of ZFS are discussed is that ZFS is not zero-copy for things like sendfile. This is one reason why we (Netflix) use UFS for serving content rather than ZFS.

This is because ZFS is cached by the ARC, not the normal page cache. ARC is weird, and operates in 8K blocks (like sparc page size), rather than 4K pages. Zero-copy things like sendfile depend on referencing pages in the page cache, and have never been adapted to deal with ARC. So making sendfile zero-copy with ZFS is a hard project that would involve either teaching ARC to "loan" pages to sendfile, or ripping out ARC caching from ZFS and making it use the same page cache that all other filesystems use.
All URLs are URIs (as other people have noted), but the distinction is less important as time goes on. I think W3C's "URIs, URLs, and URNs: Clarifications and Recommendations 1.0"[0] does a good job explaining the reasons why. Additionally, it mentions the proposed, but never accepted, Universal Resource Citation (URC). Sounds like just what social media needs these days!
