How reliable is the science you are referencing? 50 years ago "Science" predicted an ice age. Recently it's Climate Change. 50 years from now Science will predict we're all doomed from something else. I am not against Science, but a lot of things that pass as Science isn't Science at all. In fact, some of what passes as Science seems more like a Religion.

There is only one race, the human race. There are differences between ethnic groups, but we are all created in God's image because we're all descended from Adam. I don't know anyone who seriously thinks there are no differences with gender? Except maybe some gender confused professors at my University, but that aside does anyone who is sane really think they are the same? Man and Woman, while having physical deferences, different roles, and responisbilities, are nonethless equal before God.

I don't know what you mean by Abortion is science, but I do know that it is wrong because it's killing an innocent human being.

“On Being The Right Size” remains one of the most insightful essays I’ve ever read: http://www.phys.ufl.edu/courses/phy3221/spring10/HaldaneRigh...
You can’t seriously be arguing that everyone has been made so stupid by the education system as evidenced by the fact that they don’t agree with you. This is akin to categorically sweeping away the wisdom of the last generation because of leaded gasoline.

New rule: if you’re going to disparage the other side and call them stupid, you have to find two nice things to say about their side.
Yes, there is a ton of common ground with 99% of the people on the "other" side, whichever side that is from you.

If one big problem facing U.S. politics right now is that everything is distilled down to a binary either-or with no room for nuance, its sibling problem is assuming that everyone on the "other side" from you is the same, i.e. that the crazy extremist you see on TV is a prototypical example of everyone in that group. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.
You just need to look at the evidence:

* Only handsets with degraded batteries were throttled

* Replacing the battery returned the handset to full speed

* The only thing that changed after the fine was that you now have an option to stop the throttling and have unexpected reboots instead.

* All iPhones since then, including brand new iPhone 12s will throttle when the battery degrades.
And why do you think they failed to provide an accurate probability estimate?

If I tell you that the odds of your dice roll being a 6 is only 16%, and you roll a 6, does that mean I failed to provide an accurate probability estimate?

The only way to judge the accuracy of a probabilistic model, is by quantifying the weighted error across numerous predictions. Not by looking at two yes/no outcomes. This is the exact point they are trying to get across, which you wrote off as annoying.

You do raise an interesting point about the betting markets - I too am very curious about whether they have a better track record than people like Nate Silver. Looking forward to someone analyzing their relative accuracy over a large sample of independent elections.
Depends on what culture you are conserving, right? Maybe american conservatives ideology conserves a narrow judeo christian, protestant view that isnt necessarily the same conservativism that runs in jewish, Hindu, Catholic, atheistic communities. Sometimes these ideologies intersect on certain values, but it definitely does not contain the whole conservative view.

You read the volume of news I do day after day and you’ll find some humor in how the common vocabulary morphs in unison across the channels, and it’s notable when it happens. “Widespread fraud” is right there with “mostly peaceful”.

But again, why spend your time arguing that there’s nothing to see here rather than advocating for improving the transactional integrity of the voting process? And surely you must see those problems even if you trust that politicians don’t leverage them. Which of those pursuits do you think will be more effective in countering the distrust people have in the system? Which one do you think is ultimately healthier for the country? Saying, yes, I see why you would be concerned, let’s work to fix the integrity of the process so those concerns are addressed, or saying the all-to-frequent anecdotes mean nothing and we should have faith that the political machine is inherently trustworthy?
Okay. I guess I'm saying that's irrelevant. For local & federal law to be intertwined doesn't require there to be a lack of exceptions.
I don’t think this is a good argument. Taking actions that influence people is sketchy but legal (eg FB allowing disinformation) but actually turning self driving cars into death machines is just ... not something I see as being possible, and goes into crazy conspiracy zone for me. There are a ton of regulations around the safety of passengers, which are likely to be expanded to include self driving tech as well.
> Those networks must limit themselves to neutrally reporting the news and let the people make up their minds.

Why? Not only has this never been the case, it is also strictly impossible to report news with zero bias, because the world is a messy place with a lot of concurrent things happening and media has to weave a mostly linear story from that. There's no algorithmic way to do that.

Imagine a large protest. Most people protest peacefully. A small group of protestors riot. The police are there too. Mostly they just watch, but some of them engage with protestors who they suspect of rioting, and some of those cops use arguably excessive violence.

You're making the TV news bulletin, you have footage of all of these sub-events. You have to decide how much time to allocate to each of the sub-events. You have a big responsibility, because the amount of attention you pay to each of them may influence public opinion. Do you focus on the peaceful protest? Or on the rioting? Or on the police violence? What's the "objectively" right amount of time to spend on each of these sub-events?
The obvious difference is that Democrats don't advertise themselves as the party of small government and personal freedoms the way Republicans do.

One of my favorite read this week by Michael Simmons, taking a few notes into my Anki so it would shape my thinking for the next few years: "As a result of applying the Day One Philosophy to my own life, I currently spend 4–5 hours per day in deliberate learning. When I think about my future self, I think of someone who will be much wiser and who will think in ways that I can’t even understand or predict now. It helps me look forward to the future, despite gray hairs and crow’s feet, to know that my biggest growth spike is yet to come."

> At some point you're gonna have to trust an authoritative source. Whether that is APNews or NYT or straight from the government website.

Would you really teach your children "trust the New York Times and whatever the government says"? When both said Iraq had WMDs, did you believe them? In a perfect world we could all look at the source material (photos, videos, data, etc.) ourselves to figure out reality and there would be uncensorable platforms for individuals to call out corruption and reach the masses. This was the original promise of the internet and social media! Sadly the authoritarian left is insistent on defining "reality" and relishes censoring dissenting facts or opinions. Facebook and Twitter wields their "fact checking" and censorship on a might-is-right basis, which disenfranchises 50% of the population and is seriously incendiary to civil discourse.

The thing is, bipartisan support was impossible to achieve at the time. Obama crafted a conservative health bill, attempted to reach across the aisle and got stonewalled - it was noted at the time that the Republicans adopted an unusually obstructive approach during the Obama era. Bipartisan support was (by design) more or less impossible to achieve.

Headline is wrong here. The paper only asserts an “association” and the abstract mentions a correlation. This headline incorrectly asserts a direct cause-effect relationship.
Agreed, resistance measurements are not great.

At the minimum, you need a friend to use calipers on you, and take those measurements over time to see trending and averages.

Even better is a dunk tank or Dexascan to get actual numbers from direct readings, most cities/universities have such facilities but not as accessible to everyone. In a perfect world it would be part of your annual physical, but they still use BMI charts :(

My company moved from server to Data center and didn't notice a difference from an end user perspective.

plugins that were certified for server will now complain (but should still work albiet unsupportedly) if they're not recertified for data center, and occasionally you have to buy a license for a plugin that you had for server because they made a certified version for data center, but otherwise the software looks feels and acts the same as before.

A good legal question is whether the selection/rejection of content by an algorithm tuned to provide financial benefit to the platform would be considered "editorial control".

If there were a dead simple filter where the user could pick friend groups, tags and sorting criteria to tune their feed this would not be an issue. Reddit, for instance seems relatively simple in that respect- the presentation is a function of the subreddit and the votes.

But once the algorithm is driven by sponsorships, monetization opportunities, and opaque surveillance data then the control of the presentation shifts from user to platform. One could argue that this should creates some liability on the part of the platform.

If the editor of a publication was monetarily compensated for publishing lucrative slander, in a manner designed to maximize its credibility with certain audiences, and it resulted in harm to people then they arguable could be held responsible. If the editor claimed that an algorithm decided to publish it and the publication developed the algorithm I don't think it would make them less responsible.

Why do things go right? – Safety Differently
The oldest known American was born in 1905. This list seems hit-or-miss, but I spot checked a few entries with birth years before that (excluding Jan 1900 since that might be used as NULL) and it showed them as having voted via absentee ballot. I don't know if the number is large enough to make any meaningful difference, but it's not a good look.

Trump was never taken to court because the position of the Justice Department is that the President is above the law. That could be changed.

The Senate was not equivalent to a jury since juries do not generally have the same incentives to pervert justice that the Senate did.

> ...why not literally every other government position?

The President has dramatically more power than almost any other government position. That being said, I could see it being required for Supreme Court justices and members of Congress.
"This means that focusing on people as a problem to control—increasing surveillance, compliance and sanctioning—does little to reduce the number of negatives" - when you do a Postmortem (or a BetterNext, as I like to call them) remember that we all suffer from the Survivorship bias, looking only on the exceptions (or failures) instead of learning from the entire spectrum of events, good or bad. We should ask ourselves not only where we failed, but also what we did to enable success so far. One tip I'd share: read about KFI (Key Failure Indicator) as it provides a nice way to balance the wrong kind of optimizations or learning when choosing KPIs.
Absolutely not equivalent. Find me a liberal police captain who’s calling for Trump supporters to be shot in the head: https://abc3340.com/news/local/alabama-police-chief-on-socia...
No, no that didn't. Just because someone denies an adverse position doesn't mean that they are fanatically denying evidence, it can easily be the case that the adverse position is false, and that they are open to seeing it proven true but haven't seen it.
Large news organizations did run stories. They investigated, found no corroborating evidence, and ran boring stories to that effect. Glenn Greenwald also investigated and found no corroborating evidence, but he hated that some people might take the lack of a smoking gun as evidence that there was no corruption connected to Biden, so he thought the media should use this shady, unlikely, as-yet-unsubstantiated story as a titillating hook to talk really loudly about all the possible ways that Biden and his son might be corrupt.

I can kind of see his point, since everybody in Washington seems to regard Hunter Biden as a completely unexceptional person of no particular merit who makes huge amounts of money because of who his father is, and that should be a scandal, though more a general scandal about the system than about the Bidens specifically.

On the other hand, that's no excuse to make a huge news story out of an unsubstantiated story fed to the media by partisan operatives a few weeks before an election. If they did that, these stories would arise before every election, and part of the political contest between the parties would be competing to come up with the best juicy lies. Considering what a free buffet that would be for the media, I'm honestly surprised that they managed to refrain.
What does fair have to do with it?

These are web apps? You should be able to have CLI-work style and still browse the web. Use something like Vimium for Firefox and a WM.
I doubt they are anti gaming - they spotlighted League of Legends mobile in the iPhone 12 launch.

They just want to milk everything on the app store. I'm so torn on Apple - on the one hand their ecosystem is the most complete and works the best, but on the other hand they try to take a cut from every revenue stream on their platforms, keep a walled garden and often lock out things that are useful to me.

For example iPad pro is an amazing tablet - hardware wise - I would use it as a on the go dev machine - but iOS is so pointlessly locked down I couldn't use it for anything non-trivial. Compare that to an Android device where I can get Linux userland running or Windows tablets. But then Apple couldn't monetise all my apps on the device.

Samsung is the closest you can get to Apple ecosystem but they suck badly - their hardware is acceptable but software is nowhere near close - apps are bad, bixby is horrible, tizen OS is missing basic stuff.

Microsoft could be a player here but they just started experimenting with mobile after a long time, they have no wearable, and the surface line seems promising but always has that one or two flaws that makes it unsatisfying. I'm hoping they can create something in the future, I have no expectations from Samsung - they seem both incompetent and insistent on doing their own thing when it comes to software.

Perhaps a better question would be: Consider two parties starting out relatively reasonable. Over time, members of both parties claim the other party is becoming unreasonable or outright crazy. This could be true in the following to scenarios:

(1) Both parties have become crazy. Both parties would be correct in their claims but of course also guilty of having gone crazy.

(2) Party A has stayed reasonable and party B has become crazy. Party A would be correct in their claim and party B's claim would be part of them being crazy.

How do you distinguish between (1) and (2) from the outside?

Meanwhile, voter suppression and disenfranchisement exists! It's right there to see. A higher voter turnout would reduce the impact of any single fraudulent vote.
