My bad. What I should have said was "Edward Tufte's books. They contain beautiful diagrams". LOL...Didn't know about "Beautiful Evidence" until you mentioned it.

I know exactly what you are feeling trying to get that One Thing. It's what separates the good stuff from the great. I don't try to show everything on one diagram... even if it fits contextually. If you force people to have to think too much when they try to unpack your diagram, they lose interest. Draw, edit, adjust. After many years, I have a few "general starting points" in my head, and go from there. I still need to edit a lot...but I get there faster these days.
Yes, if it would have particle mass at the time of the big bang it would have evaporated long ago. But all small black holes do evaporate (the smaller, the faster), so if PBHs were e.g. car-mass at the big bang, they could just be the right size for particle-masses right now (and gone in a few years).

South Dakota would be nice. We were up there for a couple days this spring and it was tempting. Nice people, little bit of scenery, cost of living is reasonable. Definitely beats moving to someplace that's crowded and hectic or at high risk for flooding or wildfires.
Why are there so many of these cognitive biases? Can we infer they persist widely because they confer some benefit?

Yes. In the South of the United States most apartments have individual aircon units with a 40-60A 240v draw that run nearly around the clock during the summer. It would not be unreasonable to imagine simply doubling the service to an apartment building and running a large deployment of level 2 destination chargers.

Good point. Fast thinking and fast talking are two different things.

I believe fast talkers need to work on their listening skills. Not just be busting to say their next thing.

I also see a compulsion or need in some people to walk through their thought process. This can be a problem when listeners got the jist several sentences back. The speaker satisfies a need while the listeners are bored.

"It’s like when a kid gets in trouble with water they become almost invisible… it’s very strange."

Well, it can be hard distingishing kids playing in water loudly and just ordinary play screaming - and kids panicking in water. It looks and sounds the same on first glance in many instances. Or rather not. When they are loud, they still have energy and their head well above the water. (you cannot shout so well, with water in your mouth)

The scary part is, when they reached their limits and do not have the energy to panic anymore and just fade and drown.

If that happens, it is very important to not panic yourself, go in quickly (but not headless) and maybe know some CPR basics if necessary.

There are cases, where the drowned child got rescued, but the paniqued parent drowned dead. Or the other sibling.

(not in pool, but in river/sea type scenarios)

But better avoid that alltogether by paying attention before and choose the site accordingly. I mean I am also very often with my toddler at a river, where he can play at a shallow spot. I know it is dangerous if I stop paying attention to him, because the river has a strong current and rocks in it. And he already knows the dangers, but he overestimates himself quickly. He is the kid. I have the responsibility.
Objects mostly just sit there, or move in more predictable ways. But when it comes to faces and bodies, we're super-tuned to facial detail, and are heavily primed to read emotions and context from facial details and from posture.

So if any part of that falls into uncanny valley, the whole experience looks wrong.

Back when animations were done by hand, Disney's animators handled this by rotoscoping (drawing over...) live action, which created very convincing results even when the movements were exaggerated for effect.

Doing the same with CGI without a template is an unbelievably difficult challenge. It's much easier to create cartoonish exaggerations than to get spot-on perfect realism.

I think it's mostly because they are quite ad-hoc and superficial. It's often not even clear what is the normative behavior that the bias is deviation of, or whether that normative behavior is somehow better than the "biased" one. It's a weird scene.

From NPR's reporting, it seemed like the class was more about looking for additional sources or examining sources.

I'm sure the students could find tons of examples of NPR's nonsense using these methods. Especially relevant is checking photos or videos accompanying articles, the main example given in the report, cause all the big players get caught on this one constantly.

They should probably include NPR's bias, too.

NPR deleted a tweet (with no retraction) that heavily implied a person who was violently attacked in his vehicle and then sped away to avoid the violence was a "right-wing extremist" involved in a "vehicle-ramming incident" [1] -- with zero reference to the violent attack initiated on the vehicle.

[1] https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EbEIlsUUcAACYht.jpg

Additionally, the protesters who attacked the vehicle were arrested, including one who brandished a gun at the vehicle and another who assaulted the driver. [2]

NPR's tweet came after the arrest and live video footage of the incident. They chose to run the story anyway.

The subsidies still exist. And while in absolute numbers they seem low, the reduced costs for solar modules still make them worthwhile.

If you don't feed into the grid as a normal person you're right (that's either "Kleinunternehmerregelung" or, if it's obviously not producing any profit, "Liebhaberei"). But if I built a fictive 500kWp solar plant to power my fictive compute center I would have to pay taxes on the self consumed power. Mind I'm a layman, so I might have gotten that wrong, but I'm 80% sure I got it right.

Sweden goes into a month-long vacation every July, most business will have 15% or less personnel, people are outside a lot more (and probably out of the cities) if they are in the country.

All of these also helped last year's summer, just look at the graphs, we had a very very normal summertime here, people were going to bars, some clubs, all the parks were crowded and we still got relatively very few infections. Now look at the fall-winter of 2020/2021, massive increase of infections when we aren't on vacations mode anymore and have to stay inside.

Sweden is starting to see an increase of delta-variant cases and by living here and seeing how much people just stopped caring we will definitely see a new wave of infections if delta and/or lambda spread and are really capable of evading the current vaccines.

Please, don't use us as an example if you don't have tacit knowledge of how this society and country works, there are seasonal effects in play that, it seems, you are completely unaware of...
I have this pet theory as well, at least for myself. After being quite sick for 3-4 weeks at 28yo and losing 12-15 lbs, I noticed that since then, my energy levels never returned and my ability to lose weight changed from pretty easy to needing to exercise and diet quite a bit.
> this seems more about instilling bias under the name "news literacy".

Media literacy classes have already been shown to turn some percentage of kids into nazis no matter how you teach them, so any particular bias that might be getting instilled probably doesn’t matter too much.

If you tell kids to “Go on YouTube and do your own research about the Jews,” then whatever the teacher thinks stops being relevant after about 30 seconds.

At the same time, mangoes in the US are not good. One out of many will have the right flavor. But in mango regions, you do have far more extreme and distinct textures and flavors. So it may not be shilling a country’s product — if you read most people are shilling their region’s mangoes that they grew up loving. This is far from shilling a country as I bet these shillers are claiming superiority over other Indian varieties as well.
Did they make a claim that is not true?

I think the European Union has great mobility rules, so one can now live anywhere, without needing papers to travel or move; now if it can manage to create nomadic visas that permit qualified workers from outside to join this system (like the US O-1 visa, but valid for all EU countries), it would be a great driver to innovation in Europe. (I will share that idea with the Commission.)

Can't speak to the legal elements other than suggest work with a specialized law firm to get through arcane rules for living in x working in y (as lawyers say when you ask them a question, "it depends") - it's expensive but perhaps you can bake it into your cost of contracting. Not just the visa and work permit questions are tricky, also taxation: the UK has something called IR35, which has recently made it harder for freelancer even in the country to do contract work.

You can go to "digital nomad visas" for e.g. and explore all countries with this kind of visa. Also in "country view" you can see and filter countries for the types of visas you are interested in. The origin country mapping is currently only done with tourist visas.

I'm particularly enjoying the cognitive dissonance between "vaccines dont protect against Delta" and "Everybody must get vaccinated."

The mental gymnastics of the vaccine faithful are vigorous: last year it was "the Trump vaccine can't be safe", if you recall; today if you ask "which vaccine" they're all good, until they're not. Ask "why" and it's like watching a bigot try to explain why interracial marriage is bad (again).
Why would I spend an hour each way on any train to go to a meeting when I can do it remote without even having to put on pants?
Absolutely. This is somewhat similar to terms like "scientific creationism". It has nothing to do with science. From what I read in the article, this "news literacy" is more like pseudo-literacy, and similar to "scientific creationism", it lacks empirical support and cannot be meaningfully tested.
I feel like they should just teach more statistics. Learn about bias, sampling and significance.

> Students reportedly got a lot better at spotting questionable sources.

Like that's definitely a step in the right direction, i.e., don't just blindly trust what you see on Insta or FB, but I worry it'll just teach kids to blindly trust mainstream media like the NYTimes, which are not without their own biases.

"easily disproven lies", what lies exactly?

Even a Jew stuck in a ghetto in Nazi Germany enjoyed significantly better privacy at home from both the state and capital than a wealthy citizen in a typical western liberal nation today.

Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany in fact prove the exact opposite of what point you think you're making. They were foremost in using the "magic tech" of their day - telecommunications and motorised vehicles.

Even then, they had several rebellions and uprisings that were able to develop thanks to lacking the degree of surveillance tech found today.
I did a module on news literacy at my public high school (not in USA). It typically involved taking some notable story and examining material from every publisher that had written on it. We examined both recent affairs (previous 2-3 years) and historical (women's right to vote, native people's/colonial affairs) and how they were covered in the media at the time. It was a fascinating thing to be taught about, and had a big focus on critical thinking - not just "what is written" but "why is it written this way", "what does the publisher want you to take from this".

When the lab leak theory emerged/was initially dismissed, I was actually reminded of my lessons from high school.

Even Gemini Man was not very convincing with all the money and the time and effort they could spend. I don’t believe any other attempt could produce a better result any time soon.
It seems like we read different articles.

My takeaway is that they’re trying to teach students how to identify bad sources/reporting or outright fake news, not litigate specific news reports.

Using 2016 as an example doesn’t invalidate that goal or imply bias.

IMO the most effective and most widely deployed (especially among the supposedly more reputable publications) propaganda tool isn’t outright lies, but rather, selective reporting of cherry-picked facts and omission of others to shape stories into their predefined narratives. TFA doesn’t address that at all. It seems to me that students’ main takeaway from this course would be to trust NPR, NYT and the like, rather than viral content. Which is of course great for NPR, but doesn’t help when your “trustworthy” media selection decide to suppress all arguments from another side, or remain silent on certain stories altogether.

Note: This comment was expanded a few times, but the gist remained the same.

Edit: No, I’m not saying “trust NPR, NYT and the like instead of viral content you see on Facebook” isn’t a good takeaway. I’m saying the more effective type of propaganda (at least for people who don’t tend to fall for the obvious crap) isn’t discussed.
These specific incident aside your overall point is good: news is not always right, one news not always agree with the other, each person must do own looking, reading, evaluation of evidence. This is what we need in "news literacy" not a course just saying "trust mainstream media".
Did you actually read the article?

Leaky vaccines are uncontrolled infection. Delta can be transmitted by vaccinated people. The point is, they will need to reformulate the vaccine to prevent this or it's fairly likely we will see further mutations. Given that there is immunity to the lesser strains, this leaves only one direction for those new strains to take - more virulence. So basically, there's a reduced chance of mutations that will prevail, but if one does occur, then it will likely be worse.
Nice! I tend to agree.

As an operations person scaling up large-scale distributed infrastructure and tools like Kafka, RabbitMQ & OpenSearch being mission-critical, it's becoming increasingly clear that the consumer applications themselves need to manage the failover/maintenance process of this infrastructure for things to run smoothly and people to stay sane.

I read the article and I disagree that the 2016 election is a specific example of what students in class actually learn about (which is what I interpreted when you said “used on the kids”). The 2016 example is actually part of a study to claim there is evidence that students have poor ability to discern from good quality and bad quality news sources, such as a video of dubious origin on Facebook.

The actual examples used in class was influencers talking about nutrition and a teacher talking about jan 6 being controversial in the class. And I think your concern that news literacy may be defined too simplistically in the classroom is valid but your reading of the article seems to have poor comprehension.
