Yeah, it is annoying when I am searching for a specific product and the top ad results are places that don’t actually sell it. It is one thing to advertise to me the thing I want, but don’t distract me from what I am trying to do.
I expect that in my lifetime there will be (or already has been) an imposter that gets a leg up on someone in this way and pulls it off- “no, I wrote the article first, they stole it from me and published it. Here are my drafts which predate their submission. Fire them, not me.”

"Peer reviewed scientific journal" is, at least in theory, a process as much as a medium, and the process at least makes an attempt to screen the worst misinformation or least rigorous scientific methodology through the mechanism of peer review.

(That it often fails at this isn't a point in dispute. The fact that the medium entails a process and that the process, at least nominally, serves truth is.)

There's also the reputational role that such journals serve, effectively transferring the trust bestowed on the journal to the authors appearing within it, where trust is a belief extended beyond the extent of verifiable fact though not in opposition to them (as in the case of blind faith).

To that extent, and in a world in which each individual receiving a piece of information cannot independently assess and verify that information, your premise is in large part false: the medium used does serve to indicate the truth of a claim.

(As someone who's made a point of publishing pseudonymousely and in numerous online, unreviewed media, I'm aware of the challenges of trying to assert facts, even those which are reasonably independently verifiable, without the benefits of a persistent and highly-established identity or other indicia of trust, reputation, or credentialing. In balance I prefer the freedoms that come with this, though the challenges are also considerable.)
That’s a nice thought and I’ve tried that before but the “if everybody did that” is the key. I can bend over backwards to only buy local organic food just to have the farm driven out of business by a Walmart Super Center and watch as a new mega container ship, new mega mall, new mega church gets built. I don’t think I spend nearly enough money on retail stuff that would actually tip the scales or even make anyone notice that I stopped shopping at the “unethical” stores.
You have been able to divide a time.Duration by an integer since before go 1.0. As you can see in the stdlib, time.Duration is just an int64 (https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Duration). You do have to cast the integer to a time.Duration sometimes.

Here's a playground showing cases where it works and cases where it require a cast: https://play.golang.org/p/6Pbqrz8ZZ3t

You have to get a new site, new planning, new acceptance, etc.

"CMake is a conservative and popular build system [...] . Yet, it does not scale well to large projects".

Those PSD auto export slicers never worked well either.

On the flip side, the Pi also seems to kind of 'pause' a copy every now and then, if I try saturating the bus with a very large copy using RAID 0/1/10.
It's not just institutional "investors" at risk of being lured in by the YC brand value.

I tried to post this to HackerNews earlier, but there is also a questionable-at-best kickstarter campaign going on right now by a YC startup (https://www.indiehackers.com/post/a-ycombinator-backed-kicks...), I really hope YC is on board with this startup launching it and if not will take action to protect this trust.
I get where you're coming from. As someone who has had ads be "basically" what I want, I've never really believed that someone wanting to take my money for a thing I might want is _that_ misaligned in terms of interest (kind of like recruiters or real estate agents wanting you to take basically anything: they might not have your best interests at heart but they do want to close a deal). This is, of course, a naive view of the world

A sort of value-neutral narrative I've come up with recently: the ad -> sale pipeline is basically super flexible (you put in X money to get Y clicks for Z sales, but don't really need much staff on it). So if you're super good at this kind of optimization you can confidently put in the maximum about of X money to get even just some profit. And of course outbid people who are less confident.

So in the auction-based ad market, the people who will "win" the ad space will be people _who are good at auction-based ads_! Everyone who really cares about sales funnels etc will be able to get better results!

Of course there's like.... misleading copy etc, but I'm more and more convinced that the reason for the awfulness is that the people who get the slot are getting it for a mostly unrelated skill.

Nah, you are not welcome because you go from thread to thread defending dictatorships just because they are a "fully democratic and left government". I am gonna guess that you are just another arm chair expert from either NA or Europe who has never set foot in Venezuela, only reads propagandistic sources like Telesur and RT, and just likes to ignore the mass migration of 8 million people fleeing from the dictatorship, ignores the human rights violations (even documented by UN), all the government supported drug trafficking and the stealing of election.

You have reinforced my belief that distant government is poor government.

I have lived in some very big cities and enjoyed it. But I prefer the depopulated hinterland. I don't want "city slickers" with your contempt of rural areas making the rules for "agricultural" areas. Locals should make the rules.

Surely you wouldn't want us hicks defining your city's ordinances. Tractors might always have the right-of-way and people should be mindful of neighbors when slaughtering pigs.

You seem to make some utilitarian argument that massive cities are the best for everyone's greater good. A lot of people outside those cities point to the last twelve months as contra evidence. I think it could be a fun conversation to have when well researched. But I really lean towards letting locals govern local. (Note: leaning. I see arguments on both sides.)

Having watched and listened to most (though not yet all) of last Thursday's House Energy and Commerce hearings on disinformation in social media[1] does show considerable concern from both GOP and Democratic members.

Though the specific tenor of complaints differs.

Democrats for the most part are concerned with disinformation and racial, ethnic, and gender bias.

Republicans tend to raise issues of perceived political bias, disrespect to sitting / former electoral officeholders, social values issues (notably transgender and other LBGTQ+ matters), bullying, suicide, and policies concerning what is perceived as legitimate legal terminalogy concerning immigration.

I see frustration and anger largely equal on both sides. The underlying factors however differ by parties.

To me, so much that is part of coding falls back on math. Proof by induction is a fundamental part of being able to write a loop, model recursion or determine complexity. Binary numbers require understanding bases and exponents. I don't think one can be a really good coder without knowing a lot of fundamental math. That said, math is a lot more accessible with the internet of today vs the resources available to me in school 30 years ago -- my high school teachers couldn't point me in the right direction when I was asking questions about what was ultimately related to Fourier transforms.

I was both a mathie and coder throughout school, and took multiple language courses when they were available to me in high school. The skills certainly complement each other. A mind should be flexible, and the more one learns, the more flexibility the mind has. But it all relies on having an environment that nurtures and feeds natural curiousity.
I think that is extremely unlikely.

Another referendum anytime soon would be a political nightmare for both Labour and the Tories, it's such a contentious issue that they're both better off avoiding it. The only parties seriously advocating for rejoining are either full of nutters (Greens, unfortunately) or increasingly losing touch with reality to the point of irrelevance (Lib Dems).

Things may change a lot over the next few years, but I suspect people will become increasingly apathetic towards the issue as time passes and people realise Brexit isn't exactly the apocalypse that was described by most of the media here.

I would bet good money that before 2016, ~90% of people in the UK—remainers and leavers both—couldn't have named a single MEP other than Farage. I suspect the vast majority will revert to their pre-referendum state of political indifference. Rejoining would be immensely complicated, people will just not have the appetite for it.

> Assuming you bothered to look at any tech site or remotely reputable news sight, it was quite easy.

Third hand reports and context-free edits from opinionated partisans prior to adversarial examination. This is not a source of reliable information.

> I'm not sure what country you're from, but here in America there was no amount of "stitching together" that would make me believe storming the capital in order to prevent the peaceful transition of power was anything other than sedition. By definition.

Sedition basically means crime against the government. Throwing a shoe at George W. Bush is sedition. So that's a motte and bailey word. It implies an attempt to overthrow the government but with a word that also still applies to breaking a window in the capitol building. Then if the coup narrative disintegrates they can fall back on no, no, it was still technically sedition. Insurrection.

But that's cheating your way out of the hard question, which is what actually happened. It's convenient if all you want is othering the perpetrators to justify tribal warfare, but tribal warfare is bad.

And the problem with the coup narrative is that it's incoherent. There is no logical sequence of events where storming the capitol leads to an undemocratic transition of power. It doesn't work that way. That road doesn't go there. And for the same reason it makes no sense for Trump to have ordered or desired that.

So then what the heck was it?

A riot. Not a plan, despite whatever social media posts people try to retcon into a unified motive or an organizational structure. Undirected anger. Pissed off jackasses who smashed.

Which is illegal. They're in jail. You don't do it that way.

But a riot is a sign that something is wrong, and Donald Trump was more symptom than cause. When your choices are the establishment or Donald Trump and like half the country chooses Donald Trump, what does that say about the establishment? There is a deeper lesson here than orange man bad.

You’d need to know the probability of death as a function of chronological age.

If the probability is constant, you can model the lifespan as an exponential decay - there is no real upper limit, but the population of older individuals is very small.

For most animals the probability increases as they age, and becomes very high towards the end of their life, but this is not the case for all animals.
