It would certainly get me out of my comfy chair. The problem is usually funding, and ensuring that you don't end up with a lot of grifters that are trying to steer the project into a direction where they can make money of it.

The loners that do these jobs usually do an incredible job of combining both their skills and actually listening to the needs of their 'market of one'.
> how unreliable does your PC have to be if you feel you need to push every hour???

Hey, I commit and push on a branch on my fork of the repo every time my unit tests work and sometimes if they don't.

It's a single command, `gi`. My joke is "commit/push is the new save" though I'm not that bad...

No one but me has to see that branch. I rely on my rebasing skills and a library of git tools to produce a small number manicured commits out of it with no work.

It works so well. For one, if I am going from one machine to another, I can literally work and then step off my machine and continue on the other with a pull but no interruption.

At any time, I can just send someone a question with a permalink to the code as it was at that moment, and keep working while waiting for the answer.

I never have much uncommitted work in the current branch, so I can almost immediately start a new bugfix in an emergency.

Good feedback, thanks for sharing. I have passed these comments on to Kevin the product specialist in the videos.

We have a new Learning Center section of the website launching soon that will organize all the content into lessons and courses. At that point we can include text and images as well. The Vimeo page is a temporary workaround until the Learning Center launches.
Agreed. But why choose if it's easy to add an idiomatic pure-JavaScript/EcmaScript 2021 implementation to compare with as well?

Both those articles seem.. pretty good to me? The claims being debunked are clear spin, and the Snopes treatment gives important and reasoned context to explain things without engaging in blanket denialism.

Certainly someone who reads only the original partisan sources and NOT Snopes is going to be less informed about the truth. You'd admit that much, right?
Also isnt Marxism (as in the Communist Manifesto) about the elite vs commoners but in an economic framework.
It happens in the US, but the physical structure of cities makes it much harder. With dwindling downtown areas and a preference to commute by car you have few opportunities for the happenstance meeting with others (strangers and friends and acquaintances).

The places I've experienced it in the US were on college campuses, in older east coast cities with a different structure than the normal US city, and smaller towns with a still existing downtown (which is not all of them, many downtowns in the US are strictly places of business, or worse declined to just a couple government buildings).
I believe they've had to lighten up the moderation on this one, specific subject.

You're absolutely right. Once I saw you characterize a tax as a punishment, billionaires as "people who know how to invest [wealth] efficiently and distribute it," and wealth as solely the result of "build[ing] economically viable organisations," I dismissed the details of your argument.
I wish such articles would not always compare with averages. It is perfectly normal if sometimes measurements are above averages and sometimes below. At the very least, they should also give a range.

Not saying there is no cause for concern, but saying "this year was above average" is meaningless in itself.

As for the July record, OK - but also some points in time have to be the record.
Nokia pissed off too many US carriers around this time. They were pushing a preinstalled VoIP client, and US carriers responded by dropping their phones.

Even if they had something great, the US focus of tech media would have made it hard to see, and the US/EU frequency differences would have made it hard to use in the US unless Nokia made a US version, but lack of distribution makes that less likely.
>"Ben Embarek told the Danish reporters. In the end, Ben Embarek’s Chinese counterpart eventually agreed to discuss the lab-leak theory in the report “on the condition we didn’t recommend any specific studies to further that hypothesis.”

Things would have been so much better, if they had just come correct from the beginning.

But now we have all this politicking and censorship and accusations of racism, etc., etc. when discussing the possibility of it being a lab release.

> Sugar has a relatively high caloric density and can be addictive, leading to obesity.

Blood sugar triggers the release of insulin to clear it from the blood. Insulin is a hormone that puts the body into an anabolic state so all cells and in particular fat cells begin to store the sugar from the blood. There is a correlation between obesity and T2D, but not causation.

This is why not all T2D patients are obese, rather in every case of T2D you will find someone that regularly consumed sugar/carbs.
Yes! Thank you for this input :)

Yeah I don't trust Mikkelson's writing very much because of this Snopes article: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/swallow-spiders/ (mentioned in the article).

It's not in the special section of their site marking it as satire or anything but it cites a nonexistent source ("Lisa Birgit Holst", anagram for "this is a big troll").

The weird thing is that … as far as I could tell the real origin of the "people eat eight spiders a year" thing was a 1992 campus humor column ( some notes at https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/80j3px/til_a... ). That would have been a perfectly fine story to write and I'm not sure why he just made something up instead, except as some kind of quiet prank.
I mean things like newspapers or respected journals. I don't know of anything touted as a "front page" that's been entirely organically generated.

To the person who made the claim, it was the first, because of their limited view of the world. I always take claims of being first with a grain of salt for this reason.

The biggest problem with Snopes is their unwillingness to rate something as opinion rather than fact. As a result they assign truth ratings to things that are mostly opinion pieces and those truth ratings are often accusing the opinion piece of making something up. The opinions in said pieces may or may not be well supported by facts but they are still opinions and calling one false is misleading at best and dangerous at worse. Especially when you have become a source for social media censorship.

I wish "adda" existed here in the states. In some ways online forums are an online version of "adda" but in-person, thought-provoking conversations can't be replicated online. It makes me miss college life where you could pop into so many interesting discussions whether in the dorms or on-campus. Clubhouse tried to replicate this but the users can't really participate in a fluid conversation. I'm just wondering if there's anyway tech could enable these organic mind meetups?
The subscription fee of most magazines is only there so that they can present a "paying subscribers" number to potential advertisers. The assumption being that a paying subscriber is more likely to spend money on advertised products.

This is why popular magazines constantly have deals for a year subscription for $5 or $10.
> I think this article makes the "sum" and "product" terms out to be very complicated, (...)

Indeed it would drive the point home if instead of simply mentioning product they referred to Cartesian product.

I guess sum types imply adding together two domain, but unless there's a subtlety then union would be clearer as well.
This is really bad, with statements like "more people die from cold than from heat". With the climate drifting as it is, more cold storms and snow is also part of the picture, on top of drought and searing heat... Do these people not know about instability-induced jet stream disruption?
> a positive-definite symmetric matrix can be visualized as an ellipse.

It is clear that you mean the ellipsoid as a set of points {x | x^T * A * x = 1} (or some other constant). There is another way in which all square matrices define an ellipsoid based on how the matrix transforms a unit sphere: {A*x | x^T * x = 1} (different matrices can map to the same ellipse here, however).

I always like to clarify which one.

(I unfortunately do not have intuition for the QR algorithm, but I am distracted by the description of an ellipse falling, as if it's rolling against the x-axis)

The net pull on the _center of mass_ of a shell would be zero. The pull on any local region would still exist though. All that the shell theorem says is that the sum of all those local directional forces is zero.

Reading the exact passage you quoted, "the compressive strength of the material forming the sphere would have to be immense to prevent implosion due to the star's gravity."
I agree with the article. The differences between British and American English can be amusing. Quoting the article:

> “So there are multiple levels of auditability so you don‘t have to trust apple or countries even if Apple says yes“- Apple

What auditability is he referring to? Who gets to audit the database and source code?

Earlier, he slips and says: “people can see…” then realizes he’s going off message. It seemed like he was going to state that users can somehow verify Apples claims about the db and or code.

This interview clarified nothing.
Can you provide a link to an article you feel is especially illustrative of this problem?
I think it’s Tech Dirt that gets it wrong, and they're being disingenuous in their assertions. Tech Dirt is the technology industry, and they have an outsized incentive to protect 230 from any reform. I see a lot of talk on HN and in the tech and no tech media about 230 and it basically comes down to this: Tech supports it, everyone else supports reform. I don’t think the industry can ever be expected to police or reform itself, but will resist anything that could threaten their business model.
I bought a PinePhone when they were on sale a few months ago for $150. I tinkered around with it for a few days, but it's just been collecting dust ever since. I kind of expected not to use it as a daily driver since I rely on App/Play Store apps, but it was unusable for a bunch of other reasons like:

- Short battery life, was pretty much drained after maybe 4 hours of light use

- The phone would get insanely hot during use, or while plugged into the charger

- Display bugs, every time the phone rotated from portrait to landscape there were black bars or other artifacts

- Poor performance in general, typing too fast caused latency issues and opening apps really made the phone chug

Overall, I think Linux on mobile just needs some more time in the oven along with access to the hardware market that Android/iOS has been able to use for a while. I could probably deal with not having access to the Google/Apple app ecosystem if the phone itself were a smooth user experience, but that's just not the reality of it yet.

There was a quip that the key innovation of Fox News was to blur distinction between its news and opinion segments.

Fox News news was traditionally (and still is, from what I can tell) actual news. What's not declared is the transition from a "news" segment to an "opinion" segment.

People who weren't around forget than CNN up until ~1995 was literally just news, 24/7. Here's what's happening in the world.

Once Fox News launched and trends became clear, all 24/7 news channels switched to a blend of news and commentary. Because that's what the market preferred.
Yeah that's completely ridiculous. BlackBerry in the x86/C and ARM/Java eras could be attached to a workstation and debugged with Visual C or the later RIM JDK, setting breakpoints and single-stepping on real hardware live and on the air.

> Later in the day, they changed the headline to be something like "Insurgents invade Capital building", but did not change the 10AM timestamp up top. One had to read the article to find the update timestamp.

News websites really need to stop continuously rewriting their articles. It's a PITA if you want to cite them as a source, then all the sudden what you cited isn't there.

I've had NY Times articles get completely rewritten while I read them (admittedly with some long pauses between when I started and finished), and when I went back to quote something, it wasn't there anymore.

I don't think this is nefarious or anything, it's just them trying to adapt to expectations that they'll always be up to date with the latest stuff. You have the same article about some rapidly changing story hanging around their app/website all day (and "most popular articles" facets), and I suppose most people expect those things to be up to date.

> Perhaps insofar as "most straight news" isn't political, but IME most political coverage is highly partisan (I don't know how anyone can argue the contrary with a straight face following last year's BLM coverage). To be clear, I'm a moderate liberal and I find the media coverage to be very biased as do many other liberals that I know

A quick point: You'll recall Trump got incredible amounts of coverage from the major news outlets.

But here is my hypothesis from a former 'moderate liberal', but not a partisan:

* The neo-reactionaries (the extreme reactionary conservatism that now dominates the GOP and right wing) politicize everything, especially anything having to do with racism.

* 'Moderate liberals' are defined most by 'moderate', not belief: They chose their positions by looking for a spot between current left and right, regardless of where those two are, where they can sound reasonable to all. It isn't dependent on values or beliefs, so as the conservatives shift far to the right, they moderates navigate to the right to some degree, to stay between their shoals (moderates of the 1990s, I think, would nearly be progressives now in many ways).

Why? In MLK's 'Letter from a Birmingham jail', he says his biggest obstacle is white moderates who want peace over justice. Absolutely read it - it says it far better than I do - and I believe he has it exactly right. They hate progressives because progressives bring what moderates hate most - tension, conflict. These days, where the conservatives have adopted a hyper-aggressive position, the 'safe' response is to not support it, but to not confront it and provoke them - that brings conflict. It's like telling people not to stand up to the bully because it might provoke them - just keep your head down, about racism, about climate change, etc.

I used to be a moderate. Then I realized: How could I keep head down about racism, about climate change, etc? Why was I doing it? I knew speaking up would alienate many people I know, I would be beyond the pale, which happened - I think that corroborates my hypothesis. More important than their relationship with me, than the truth of these issues, was their moderation; I violated their norms.

But once you shake loose from the moderate mental shackles it's actually quite clear. There's not much question of the issues. I'm not really progressive; I don't read the dogma or follow a cause; but you can't really argue with their positions.
Taliban aren't the locals. Nor do the locals like the Taliban. More so this argument makes no sense when the Taliban had been suicide bombing Afghan civilians for decades and causing many times more civilian casualties.
The CDC paper does not use the phrase "superspreading" in that article.

And it is not a superspreading event if 30 people show up to an event and 60 people get infected.

It is a superspreading event if 1 person shows up to an event and 60 people get infected.

And that case doesn't even prove the existence of purely vaccinated spread since 25% of the cases were unvaccinated and could have spread it more effectively to the 75% vaccinated. They didn't study the transmissibility from the vaccinated cases.
Exactly, I'm not actually surprised, don't most news media just copy articles from each other?

Keeping troops in developed, desirable countries is probably far cheaper than Afghanistan. Regardless, the point is what is the long term goal of keeping 2,500 troops, or even 1 troop in Afghanistan? There are lots of places in the world mired in conflict and poverty.
Thanks for this comment, it was enlightening. I'd never much thought about this because physics is really not my forte, but after a few minutes of thinking about it, it's really intuitive why a point singularity can't spin. I can't explain it in any properly rigorous or technical way, but it makes no sense that someone could (by convention, of course) designate a "front" and "rear" to a mass with zero length in every direction.
As ex-Symbian user/dev I beg to differ, specially the communicator models.
No, I don't think that's the equivalent debate today. Structured programming vs "the old way" was about clarity of control flow. Structured programming was clearly superior once you had machines with enough muscle to handle the overhead. (And once you realized that you were trying to optimize for programmer time rather than for machine time.)

I don't see expression-oriented as being similar to that at all. Expression-oriented may provide a boost to programmer efficiency, but it's not nearly on the order of structured programming vs. unstructured. It doesn't require changing peoples' mindset to realizing that programmer time is more valuable than machine time; they already know that. And, the parallel problem would be clarity of data flow, and I'm not sure that expression-oriented is a huge win in that area.
I've seen other people do that. I think it's better to use a language like Python, but I have seen people do SQL scripts and many other kinds of code gen with Excel.
I know I am, but what... am... I?
The identification of the so-called indefensible vs defensible information is probably the hardest thing here.

What’s something objectively indefensible that would require a course on misinformation to identify?

I also don’t really see how you can setup a control group - either this class is required in which case a control is not possible, or you introduce the massive selection bias.

The best way would be to assign people to taking this class, which I suppose could be straightforward. I sincerely doubt there would be any effect once you control for grades in something like English.
That was really well put.
