Even the BBC aren't above this sort of thing. My 'favourite' example of this kind of writing is a BBC News article titled This little-known inventor has probably saved your life. [0]

You have to read about half of the lengthy, rambling article before you discover what on Earth they're talking about. Turns out to be about the inventor of the flight recorder. It follows of course that the title is simply untrue, which makes for a nice bonus.

>There is no reliable way to lose weight

Correct me if I'm wrong but that is false. It seems pretty well known and accepted that caloric intake below BMR will make you lose weight. Your BMR might fluctuate, but if you take that into account there shouldn't be a problem.

Going back into society and resuming your previous eating habits (before the cage) will ofc make you gain weight because your BMR will have lowered during your starvation.
You don't need AI, just use stronger magnets[1]. ITER was conceived before high temperature superconducting magnets were discovered, so it has more trouble maintaining plasma stability.

Ha, this is pretty cool. I remember the Macs of this era always seemed so exotic to me as a young PC user. I had one friend whos family had a Quadra and the OS seemed so cool and exciting and colourful the one time I used it. I also clearly remember how the floppy drive ejected with a motor rather than manually!

Even now, the OS seems really thoughtfully designed, you can clearly see the lineage to MacOS of today.

It is convenient to label ones opponents racists.

Antifa did exist in the 1930s as the militant wing of the German Communist Party [1] and whilst working in London in 2012 I saw many organised protests of theirs for different causes than in the prognosis.

If the organisation existed today given the majority have been mobilised through steadfast polarisations, a multitude of grievances and not as cover for potential infiltrators, why would they admit it? It is much more convenient to remain nebulous.

The link adds credence that this is more an insurrection rather than "proud mothers" who it seems were organised to act as shieldbearers to protect the bombers of Americas federal buildings [2] and not their children to whom they hold a duty. You can see this mass organisation by self-identified antifa-associated accounts #PortlandMoms and scroll down.

The parent site itself, is that one of the splinters of the forum that reddit banned?

For another data center in a bunker (which is not a "dark web empire"): https://www.thebunker.net/ I always wondered what the point was - after all your data might be secure against a nuclear war or revolution, but that's not much use if the network is down.
Obviously you are falling for facebooks ploy here and imagining the government wants any personal data at all. The regulator is requesting literally zero personal information, especially of the public.

Facebook is smokescreening saying "oh but what if some of our employees' information is given over", to which the response is "well edit that out then, you idiots."

Not only was this lost on you, but you still think it's a dragnet. I've never seen someone fall so hard for corporate propaganda, right before my eyes.

Hi, thank you! I don't have more complex crossings like that yet, but I want to look into it. Fore complex road systems most companies are using HD maps, like the ones from HERE, they have more detailed lane information. I looked up the standard german lane width and then take that times the number of lanes. Then it's also possible to tweak the lane width in the tool. It's totally possible to use highway type for different widths, just haven't implemented that yet! Want to add bicycle lanes and parking lanes, bus lanes as well.

del.icio.us was the epitome of web search and discovery for me. I used it over other search engines back in the day. It was great at finding sites on esoteric topics. I think human curated search like this is the best kind. Unfortunately those days are long gone and we have the Web by Google now.
It has to be done eventually. Sounds like they have the tools they need to improve.
> It's a good outcome for employers, not employees. If I can quit my job in the morning and get one I'm happy with before lunch, that's good for me - but it also means that employers are desperate for labour.

> A sober, careful, multi-month job search is not a good thing for most people. They can't afford it, because they have bills to pay this month, not next year.

Your first case (quit and get a job before lunch) is bad for the economy because it means production is constrained by the availability of labor. That is bad for employees even in the short term because it forced employers to find alternatives.

I agree a multi-month job search is a bad thing, and I absolutely agree that avoiding that should be a goal of economic policy. Low, non-zero unemployment addresses this well: if there are many people spending multiple months on job searches then unemployment rises.

Yes, GR is taught at undergrad level. But that doesn't mean most undergrads really understand it, or can do much with it beyond solve a few toy exam problems. Because undergrad GR and QM are introductory courses for beginners.

It takes a PhD to start acquiring fluency, and that's years of constant grind doing nothing else but. It's also hugely helpful to have mentors and/or parents and/or other family members who can give personal help.

I am in this camp. I created a GitHub account and started a project because a recruiter told me I needed to demonstrate my coding skills if I wanted anyone to take me seriously as a junior engineer prospect.

Then the project I started decided to trigger my obsessive behaviours and take over my life. And so it goes.

Haha I swear I read something on here the other day about how trends are circular and it won't be long until del.icio.us is back, and here we are!

I seem to recall del.icio.us being a great discovery tool, as well as a great way to catalog your bookmarks (another discovery tool that was great for a while was Stumbleupon). Will be interesting to see if anyone can bring back some of that "old school" curated/personal discovery vibe, which feels like it's becoming more relevant again with the recent discussion around Google results.
I think by saying "you can't afford to build infrastructure where it's not crowded", he actually means that it's not affordable because the ridership will be too low, so it's not really viable in that sense.

Slightly tangential: The GPT-3-generated article that humans had the greatest difficulty distinguishing from a human-written article, with an accuracy of only 12%[0], contains a flagrant contradiction in the first paragraph.

> Title: United Methodists Agree to Historic Split

> Subtitle: Those who oppose gay marriage will form their own denomination

> Article: After two days of intense debate, the United Methodist Church has agreed to a historic split - one that is expected to end in the creation of a new denomination, one that will be "theologically and socially conservative," according to The Washington Post. The majority of delegates attending the church's annual General Conference in May voted to strengthen a ban on the ordination of LGBTQ clergy and to write new rules that will "discipline" clergy who officiate at same-sex weddings. But those who opposed these measures have a new plan: They say they will form a separate denomination by 2020, calling their church the Christian Methodist denomination.

> ...

First it suggests the spinoff of a new "theologically and socially conservative," denomination, but then it is the liberal minority that is expected to form a new denomination. The paper[0] acknowledges occasional non-sequiturs, but more pertinently, how did 88% of judges let it slip?

HTTP 1.1 was released before Mac OS 8 so I'd be surprised if the installed browsers didn't have header support (shared hosting was already common when I used to support Mac OS 8 systems and those users certainly never had a problem).

TLS would be a bigger issue at the protocol layer and with the web moving to HTTPS everywhere, you'd expect a great deal of sites not to load.

On the rendering side, HTML 5, CSS 3 etc weren't around. In fact I don't even think HTML 4 was around (or if it was, it would have been extremely new so still unlikely to be well supported -- remember how long it took browsers to pass the ACID tests?). Back then it was still common to use framesets and tables for formatting.

Ironically, you'd probably get a better experience elinks or lynx.
More than French influence abroad, I think a lot of people do not like "poor English", for lack of a better term, replacing French in vernacular French. It seems to me that for most people, it's more about vernacular French becoming less fancy (random English words being sprinkled are a symptom, not the cause) than something specific about English, or French influence abroad.

Random examples:

- use of the word "digital" in the English meaning (number-related) when it already has a French meaning (finger-related, eg empreinte digitale - fingerprint) when there was alread a word for it - numérique.

- random English words to sound cool. The French Post Office launched an online-only bank called "Ma French Bank".

- English but with French words, i.e. using English sentences / idioms but in French. For instance, in French, you would say that something has or does not has meaning (ça n'a pas de sens !) but not that it makes or does not makes sense. Well, expect that now people took the English idiom and use it with French words - ça fait sens.

I think (but it is only my own opinion not backed by any kind of data) that there would be way less backlash if there was greater fluency and use of literate English rather than a poor use of globish.

People do not think watching a film in its original English version is bad.

The ultra darwinian workplace is probably not a fun place to be. Also it sounds implicit in survival that there is some obviously fairer natural law that governs who survives.

> But by the sentiment of all media reports INTC is in sharp decline & AMD is killing it, yet even in their most recent results Intel revenue/earnings still dwarfs AMD's.

That is because AMD only has GPUs and CPUs while Intel has a lot more side business (VDSL modem chips, Thunderbolt, FPGAs, ...).

Additionally, the CPU side of Intel doesn't look very promising for the future (architectural issues like the whole sidechannel attacks, technical issues in their lithography process), they will have to invest a lot of money to get this under control - while AMD has a wildly positive outlook and is only limited by the capacity of TSMC's fabs - whatever they produce gets ripped out of their hands by customers.

From a financial point of view, Intel also has the problem that AMD was drastically undercutting prices for competitive products... part of the Intel stock price was the ridiculous amount of money they could squeeze out of customers for their top-notch processors for years. AMD all but flattened that as Intel was forced to cut their prices by a bunch.

It will work for this use case. In any case, most probably a human will select from a bunch of generated texts. Whether the texts are generated by a copywriter or GPT-3 will be the difference.

Brilliant. Hundreds of millions of dollars of investment squashed by a pebble.
It might be a bit of that, but let me give you another perspective.

As a non-native English speaker, I see value in having local terms for IT. I witnessed how in the 90s my parents had to learn by heart terms like "file", "folder", "save". Needless to say, having to learn both an IT concept and a term, with no real-life analogy, significantly increases the barrier for learning how to use a computer. Image you got this device with a button called "cântă" which for some reason makes music play.

As an IT expert, local terms are pretty tedious, since they tend to appear late, after you already internalised the English ones.

What you said is a tautology and brought nothing new to the table. (non cheap) nuclear can't compete against cheap renewables. Everyone knows that but almost nobody knows why nuclear is so expensive today.

The reason why nuclear power is not commercially viable is that it doesn't benefit from economies of scale. If you build custom tailored humongous monolithic nuclear plants you're going to pay a huge amount of money. Just think about how expensive it would be to build one giant solar panel with a total area of 1 km² instead of a million 1m² panels.
It's absolutely nonsensical yet it happens every single time a nuclear plant is being constructed. The few success stories like France simply standardized on a single design. General corruption and budget bloat probably did more to stop nuclear than all anti nuclear hipsters combined.

It's not possible to overlay apps after unlocking on iOS.
But I found a way how to change UX to fulfil that. All intentions should be marked as failed or successful after finishing, so the user should back to the app before phone lock. So by locking your phone in the app, you will not forget about filling intention next time.
That's the only allowed way I found for iOS. There is a way how to show your app immediately after unlock, but it requires using private API that is not allowed by the App Store.
