What!? NPR's website contains articles with false time stamps. Are you ok with this? Why does the conspiracy theorist angle matter at all?

Knowing when an article was written is a useful piece of information that is being destroyed by these always evolving articles. It might not be full on Orwell yet, but these always-mutating-articles are opening the door to an Orwellian future.

We need to be able to go back and look at the past unfiltered and unmodified.
Diet Coke has literally nothing at all to do with Coca Cola whatsoever.
Closed firmware and booloaders locked to any keys other than the customer's should be illegal.

> I think one point here is that people in India aren’t shying away from politics and religion. Robust conversations about fundamental questions are the norm. (Spoken as an non-Desi with a bit of travel and work experience in south India).

This is possible because the number of people who can sarcastically take on politicians is much larger than any group of people feeling strongly attached to said politicians.
I think you underestimate the media, or maybe it's just the UK media.
or some sort of roman war bird.
Yeah you're a family man, that's great, I've met a lot of people who have actually moved their families out this direction to do stuff like start businesses, and many of them are quite happy. Feel free to make some local friends though, really the best way to get to know the language in any case
I've found that they don't generally omit stuff, but the headlines and overall evaluations they give are suspect on more contentious items, almost to the point of a motte and bailey. So someone looking at the summaries will be mislead, but there's a more defensible opinion in the article proper.

Now, they do pull tricks like choosing which version of a claim to debunk and sometimes seemingly hunting for more obscure weak man versions of a claim than the more popular ones. Or they will "fact check" something that is clearly an opinion, like someone's read of someone else's motives.

The way I see it, though, they're hardly unique in this. Anyone skimming headlines is going to be badly mislead from nearly any source whatsoever.
People are generally incredibly bad at reading others' emotions anyway; if masks push us far enough towards actually realizing that fact, maybe it's on the whole a good thing.

If it doesn't matter, don't worry about it--and if it does matter, just ask! You don't need to be able to guess someone's emotions from their face for society to function.
Have you read the WSJ lately? They’re a prestigious paper in a “blue” coastal city and they’re definitely not what I would call left wing.
YT as opposed to what, Comedy Central Daily Show that a generation seems to have gotten their news from? At least on YT you can (currently) pick & choose from politically varied points of view though many creators do seem to be jumping ship because of YTs draconian content policies.
Focus on HTMl/CSS/vanilla JS first. Teach them how web applications actually work and then get them into React etc. I have interviewed a lot of Bootcampers who could not tell me how/why to submit a form using POST vs Ajax but had built "react apps" in their training.
Food waste's a function of food prices. Raising prices is how you reduce it.

We have a lot of waste, because food is cheap.
"No, Dopamine Is Not Addictive" written by a clinical psychologist in 2017. When articles like this come up, it make me wonder how much of psychiatry isn't as robust as I initially thought.

I have taken a few advanced courses in psych and I was also taught that most neuro transmitters work as regulators and signals to release other things. People with too much dopamine become schizophrenic, and it's not tied directly to binging behavior. Dopamine blocking agents are used to treat schizophrenia.

Dopamine reward pathways also generally are talked in the context of adhd and impulse control. Which is an issue before the actual addiction. I personally also don't like the word addiction being used in such a casual way. Addiction is a clinical term and generally assumes severe negative consequences on one's health and a severe compulsion to go back. The patient was being affected negatively but if it was as simple as the author describes to quit, I don't think that would meet the standard for clinical addiction.

To the contrary, if someone is a correct authority, their statements have more weight on their domain of expertise. While all of us on HN are very clever and could think of a number of exceptions, I would trust a climate scientist as a legitimate authority on climate change over a religious leader or a PR person.
This is slightly out of my league but is there not a human, or many humans, that write the algorithm? Is this so out of control that you can't make changes?
I want to copy-paste this whole comment onto my mirror so I see it every morning.

Yes, managing the team's cognitive load is one of the primary jobs of a senior technical leader. I feel lucky that I've been able to pick up as many tools as I have, but it was generally only two or three at a time, and the more I look around, the more great tools I see that I still don't know how to use. That doesn't mean they aren't great, but I know that even with my decades of experience, I wouldn't be able to build something with those tools without a big upfront investment in learning them.
Many of the OG "classical liberals" had a much more nuanced take on privatizing land, supporting something more like usage rights, rather than fee-simple or alloidal land titles (private enclosure of land beyond subsistence was associated with aristocracy):

"All the property that is necessary to a man for the conservation of the individual and his propagation of the species is his natural right, which none can justly deprive him of; but all property superfluous to such purposes is the property of the public, who by their laws have created it, and who may therefore by other laws dispose of it, whenever the welfare of the public shall demand such disposition."

- Benjamin Franklin

"Whenever there is in any country, uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labour and live on. If, for the encouragement of industry we allow it to be appropriated, we must take care that other employment be furnished to those excluded from the appropriation. If we do not the fundamental right to labour the earth returns to the unemployed."

- Thomas Jefferson

There is a wide range of middle-ground between the extremes of carving up the earth into micro-fiefdoms of absolute ownership, vs. all land being controlled by apparatchiks in the State Politburo. One of the most moderate is a tax on "ground rents", as proposed by Ricardo, Paine, and many others [0], to compensate the community for their exclusion, and fairly return the profits from "proximity value" (services and infrastructure that makes land more desirable). Even Milton Friedman referred to Land Value Tax as the "least worst tax" [1], with drastically reduced (if not zero!) "deadweight loss", compared to taxes on income or sales.

Yup, Apple made software and UX important. And had the clout to ship their device with their software and ignore the carriers' obsession with random checkbox features.

Which, in the end, helped us a ton with Android -- post iPhone announcement everyone wanted to compete with that, nobody knew how, and the carriers eased back a bit on their absurd requirements documents full of random features nobody cared about (WAP?).

At the time iPhone was announced we were already running on the prototype of what became G1 (Dream), with multitouch. We just expected it would be the second form factor to ship, after a more "traditional" blackberry wedge sort of thing (Sooner). Post-iPhone it seemed silly to ship such a device first (you can imagine the reaction), so we skipped it and shifted focus to Dream.
We are planning full Mac support for Mac apps that are built with SwiftUI. But if your Mac app is built with Catalyst it may very well work today...
You'd swiftly run out of practical combinations.

On the 1 key, I have 1 and !. Maybe I could add ¹ and ₁, with AltGr and Shift+AltGr (or Ctrl, or something). Maybe ½ and ¼?

With Compose, I have ¹, ₁, ½, ⅓, ¼, ⅕, ⅙, ⅐, ⅛, ⅑, ⅒, ①, ⑩, ⑪, … ㊶ which involve the 1 key. I do not need to look up the sequences for these, as they're intuitive: Compose ^ 1, Compose _ 1, Compose 1 2, … Compose ( 4 1 ).

The OP didn't even say they were American, and the choice isn't between current facial expressive norms and different ones, it's limiting the ability of children to read the most expressive part of our faces entirely.

This report doesn't actually disagree with my assessment and in fact largely reinforces it. Cherry-picking one line that is contemplating on the motives behind Afghans celebrating the Taliban's intervention is not an argument against the premise that bacha bazi is deeply entrenched in Pashtun culture and thus would not be a determinant factor in gaining widespread support of a nation comprised mostly of Pashtuns.
Couple of gripes there.

Apple basically controls you phone anyway and have done for years as they can issue patches and os updates.

Also you can turn iphotos off - I've never used the thing in spite of owning various apple devices. I do use Google photos and doubt they are much different in terms of checking for CSAM.
oh, this is fascinating. I might have to add this to my bag of tricks.
Fun fact, WinCompose used to be written in AutoHotkey. It's still shown as a branch on GitHub: https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose/tree/autohotkey
Adda doesn't need to be fun. Addas are usually unplanned. It often involves stumbling upon an acquaintance on the street and just catching up on the side of the road.

Imagine a spontaneous conversation with an acquaintance at a grocery store but at any random place, without any capitalistic purchases required during the interaction.
This seems to confirm my prejudice, which is that most people go along with whatever their social group is doing. Going against what your friends and family are doing is hard no matter what the topic.
> I can't help but imagine what a wonderful place Afghanistan could have been had the Soviet backed 1978 coup been a failure.

Or if it had been an instant success, instead of the US pouring cash and arms in to keep the conflict going as long and destructively as possible. The Soviets didn't have a choice but to participate in a conflict on their border.
America should subsidize healthy foods in food deserts. Then to pay themselves back they should implement "bad food" taxes that increase until the healthy food places, such as grocery stores, as the majority.

Repeat this process within grocery stores for produce and processed foods.
You're missing the part where you have a 50/50 chance of being considered cattle without rights and a sex prize for one of the faction's soldier.
Mobile computing was way more limited prior to iPhone and Android. Mobile phones are embedded devices, and the embedded ecosystem has always been messy irrespective of raw computing power. Even today, this is clearly the main obstacle to running "desktop" Linux on phones. (Though one shouldn't underestimate the UX challenges involved in building a viable phone OS, these are largely solved by now thanks to Plasma Mobile and Phosh. What remains is 99% hardware bugs and lacking support.)
Holy crap, I had no idea the number was that low!

There can be positive effects of matching a story, but it depends on the journalists and the publication. Let's say The Wall Street Journal publishes a major investigative scoop, but you only pay for a Washington Post subscription. The Washington Post then matches the story to give readers access to the information, maybe with additional information or a unique angle, and sends a push notification to readers with the app. The WaPo article cites, and likely links, the WSJ if readers want to read the original report, and its readers become aware of the news.

That is the high-quality, professional version of matching. The low-quality, unprofessional version is echoing a story for clicks, but you're less likely to run into this if you are a newspaper subscriber who reads reports from publication apps (or alternatively, a reader who curates high-quality sources of reporting without paywalls).
tl;dr: DMV employees didn't know, and couldn't be convinced, that regenerative braking and some other features of the Tesla aren't driver assists, so the driver had to rent a gas car to take the test.
The high-end Symbian phones ticked all the boxes for "smart" I can think of. Not sure how they'd get bucketed as "feature phones." Browser, apps, fast cellular, GPS, camera... several things (like local filesystem management and access for apps) considerably before the iPhone.

It was all just a bit of a pain to DO. Mount on a PC, copy video or ebook files over to certain directories, operate through the numeric keypad, etc... the cumulative friction of all that compared to the iPhone was pretty groundbreaking even if it in a lot of ways it was just a lot of things being "a little bit" easier.

But I still held on to it for a few years because it took a while for the iPhones to really be able to do all the same things.
Dissemble - what a great word. Thanks for that.
I loved the comic. Have signed up. Will be looking forward your future courses.
> ...do you really think we shouldn't have some folks doing that job?

Yes. 100% it should be nobody's job to do this for you. Everyone should be doing that job for themselves. A society devolves to madness when people delegate verification of their world view to people chosen specifically for this purpose.

Great feedback, this is really helping us understand how to improve our messaging. The blog section in your app is a great use case.
I dunno, touch-only had been done before (Newton, Palm), and I think it would have surfaced again. The UI/UX Apple built on top of the technology that was in everyone's (manufacturers) hands, I still think, was the biggest factor in pushing things forward industry-wide.
In case somebody is wondering about the importance of a temperature record I'll repost my old comment here.

https://books.google.com/books?id=N0FLSOmeFPsC&pg=PT59

Bottom line: records are extremely rare if events occur at random. If new records become far more common than the harmonic series predicts, then this is telling us that annual climatic events are no longer independent annual events but are beginning to form part of a systematic non-random trend.
Loss of diversity is as good as it gets I think.

The benefits of diverse life are numerous, from stabilizing ecosystems and protecting them against outlier events to the sheer amount of things we can learn from nature as we have throughout human history.

Sure, economy will chug along, but there are a lot of victories out there that will be much more hard won if we have to start from nothing. So many discoveries won't be made because of the species that went extinct before we could learn from them. Minimizing that damage is in our interest as much as keeping the planet livable for ourselves and upholding/raising the standard of living across the globe.

Is it more objective? Maybe. Maybe not. But it will be much harder to come back from something so permanent and the damage potential is unknowable.
This is who we market it to! We're actually currently working with ~30 universities and national labs in the US. We work with the commercialization and corporate relations office (and a few deans of colleges as well).

There's a strong contingent here on HN that believes tha continued used of ICEs equates to the imminent death of the human race.

If you build a robot to help people and program that robot to do what its owner says and the owner tells it to shoot people, who's to blame? And if it's you for programming it, is it not then the gun manufacturer to blame when a user of a gun shoots someone? the car manufacturer to blame when the user of a car hits and kills someone?
I really want to like Snopes, but I'm not convinced that they weigh evidence correctly. For example, they debunked the myth that Marilyn Monroe had 6 toes. First, I don't believe that she did. Or even care, for that matter. But at the time, one of their "facts" was that if she'd had a toe removed, she'd basically have to learn to walk all over again because it would throw her balance completely off. (Note: the article no longer includes this fact. It did at one time, though.)

However, my wife's a podiatrist. Part of her job is amputating parts of feet when they're damaged or infected beyond repair. I asked her what it's like for an otherwise healthy adult to recover from a pinky toe amputation, and she said it's basically a matter of waiting for the wound site to heal and then they continue with life as normal. Contrary to popular belief, even a big toe amputation isn't that disruptive. A vestigial 6th toe hanging off to the side? You'd never notice it was gone.

I emailed Snopes and said hey, while I agree with your conclusion, this particular supporting fact is invalid according to an expert in the field. They replied basically that I was an idiot for believing she had 6 toes, and they left the article as-is.

That's not at all what I thought, and I actually agreed with their conclusion. I just didn't like that they were using incorrect facts to support it, and especially didn't like that they reacted poorly to a well-meant correction.

Since then, I've been skeptical of Snopes. Although I think they're probably right most of the time, that left a bad taste in my mouth. Are other people sending them corrections about their own fields of expertise and having them rejected? I have no way of knowing.
That was 120 degrees Farenheit, not Celsius. 120 degrees Celcius is 248 degrees Farenheit, which is obviously not a surface temperature on earth (at least not yet).

Valid concerns, however -- we do not wear masks for no reason. There is another danger -- that we did not choose -- that the masks are aiding against. We have no good choice perhaps -- only one that is less bad -- the question to answer is which is which. Will the children take more harm from missing faces, or from sickness and deaths?

The difference matters because once they have implemented the technology, they can't respond to government demands with "we don't have the capability to report dissidents".

Apple shouldn't do this. Scan iCloud, not people's personal phones. If you work for Apple, push back. You can make a difference.

If the Taliban is so opposed to pedophilia, why are there so many reported stories of girls as young as 12 being forced to "marry" men more than twice their age?
Suppose you are the ruler of a country which views geopolitics as a zero-sum game, because your goals are incompatible with those of other nations. It is therefore in your interest to cause other governments to be distracted with internal mistrust and divisions and health crises, so that there isn't a strong unified position to take action on the world stage.

As a test of this theory, look at which countries have this sudden mistrust of authority, and which country(s) they would refuse to buy a vaccine from; then look at countries which don't have this problem and consider whose vaccine they buy.

The exact opposite of plagiarism is original authorship.

Citing where you took the words from doesn't make you the author of those words.

I wouldn't even have a problem if Buzzfeed had just slightly rewrote the content from reddit. Because that would involve some effort. I wouldn't even care about attribution in that case.

This is my first time seeing this one mentioned, but I'm curious, what makes something a "real" fallacy?

It seems like it's a real mistake that people make. I guess one could categorize it as a more specific case of misunderstanding a distribution of values. (In the same vein as mean vs median, outlier skewing, assuming unimodal vs bimodal distribution, etc.)
Immediate mode GUIs are not designed for production.

The idea that populism and a lack of trust is bad is interesting, since it is mostly people in the "elite circle" that hold that it is bad, or those that wish they were. They don't seem to entertain the idea that maybe their expertise is not as strong as they believe. Many people seem to discount ideas that seem "bought and paid" for by an outside organization for example, which is reasonable. If an X studies person is an expert, but I don't believe they have the rigor to actually be an expert, why is it wrong to discount their views?
