Having worked for non-profit news, I can tell you that they are in effect not that different from for-profit news. The majority of their revenue comes from wealthy donors, often in the form of "major gifts". Granted, this is usually done because it becomes a tax break but that doesn't mean that certain folks with enough money don't have unsaid influence. The frequent pledge drives are somewhat of a charade in that they create the perception that they will run out of money if they don't get donations from average joes right now. Depending on the outlet, this may or may not be the case. In big cities, non-profit media would be unlikely to go away even if most of their audience stopped donating.

In terms of journalistic ethics, non-profit is somewhat better but by design isn't necessarily free of the same crockery that occurs in for-profit news. Non-profits are more likely to get people who take journalistic ethic seriously, but non-profit orgs are also seen as career leap-pads to the big name for-profit outlets, thus you end up with a lot of the same people and similar practices that end up at places like WaPo.

I don't know what the answer is to news, but I'm pessimistic that present models of non-profit news are the solution some believe them to be.

> I wonder why [...] articles written by for-profit organizations are as trusted as they are.

That's like asking "why do people believe propaganda?" The entire business model is built on creating the perception that they are authoritative when they may be nothing but lackeys playing dress-up. Sadly, the average person receives a generally poor education and is never taught about human psychology and how programmable the human brain is, and many of the messages they've received about the world came from parents whose views were shaped by a world that didn't have the internet in its current form. You could place the truth in front of them and it's a mixed bag as to whether they take that information and form an original opinion. But if you dress that information in a suit and tie, perhaps with the right letter and color next to their name, they become conditioned to accept that information from a place of subordinance.

EDIT: I want to clarify that I don't actually like shitting on public media. There was a lot that I learned during my time in it, there are some fantastic journalists in that arena, and overall I want to be believe in the concept. I've been highly critical of just about every single organization I've ever been affiliated with, so my intent isn't to single them out.

The Value of a Sentient/Human Life
While reading many submissions and comments here on HN, I am often surprised at the diversity of opinion with respect to economic, health and societal issues.

That's a great thing, as (at least for me) having a diversity of views helps to expand knowledge, provide points and counterpoints that bolster and challenge our views.

Even, no especially, points of view with which I disagree are helpful as they provide an opportunity to both reassess my own views and provide an opportunity to focus and enhance those views with an eye toward better rhetoric and explication of those views.

It's not necessarily an obvious thing, but based on this broad base of views, many seem to have roots in how we subjectively value sentient/human life.

That may seem to be a stretch, but the theme has captured my attention in the past, but more poignantly of late. Which raises an (at least to me) important question: How do subjective valuations of human life affect one's views on society, public policy and our interaction with same, our understanding of the value/importance of our intersections with society and the choices we make in those situations?

I hope for a robust discussion of how such subjective valuation impacts the views people hold and the actions they take. As such, I won't include my own predilections/thoughts on this in the submission, as I don't want to color anyone's perceptions/ideas about this topic prior to reading this through and forming/honing their own ideas about this topic.

By that measure, most of those who live under oppressive dictators think their leaders are okay. If not, "they would just rise up and replace them".

Doctorow's piece here reads to me as a call for viable alternatives. The prose attempts to advance a number of his favored alternatives, which makes it a little confusing.

To me, I believe we are headed toward a world where social media operates via an open API, like email. The road between here and there will be rocky.

That might work if you have infinite resources and can create special handling for individual cities in the world or maybe even individual neighborhoods.

Mailing works in a very decentralized way and has a lot of local variations when you go outside of places that have put a lot of effort into standardizing addresses. Most post offices won't be looking at your whole address. They just care about understanding enough to forward it to a post office one step closer to the final destination. Understanding the final local address might not even use written data. It might just be tacit knowledge that's shared between a few local postal workers.
Facebook is addictive tbh. I heard they hired some prominent psychologist to make it more addictive.

My mother is surely addicted to facebook. She knows all data implications but she enjoys getting likes/shares etc. And fake news etc which is intentionally specious make the platform even more enjoyable.

I can't tell her to stop facebook and I am sure it is harming her right?

Yes this is government role but as with every government in democracy most of them are vested for short term profits and company like facebook lobbies a lot. We know facebook pushes millions of dollar in lobby so why would government solve it? Also facebook also provides sweet taxes to government.

IMO the best approach is some kind of amalgamation between scrolling and paging. For example infinite scrolling, but with clear separation between pages and with URL changing to the corresponding page (so I can bookmark it and return to this page later, for example). Infinite scroll as a concept is good. If I'm at the bottom of the page, chances are high that I want to get next page anyway, so why don't you show it for me already. If I don't need it, whatever. If I need it, it's there.

The first paragraph is the only one that includes a list of what their extension had been doing wrong. I haven't seen it typed up anywhere else, so here are the salient bits:

> Facebook has gathered evidence that your Chrome extension “Unfollow Everything for Facebook” facilitates unauthorized functionality on Facebook. Specifically, your extension automates actions on Facebook, including mass following and unfollowing of Friends, Pages, and Groups. Your extension also impermissibly makes use of Facebook’s trademarks. These activities violate Facebook’s terms.

> Facebook demands that you stop these activities immediately.

The bullet point you've pointed out lives beneath that list of issues, under a title of, "Facebook's terms prohibit, among other things." Things that Facebook's terms prohibit ≠ stuff the extension was doing.

Otherwise it would be curious indeed that Facebook isn't demanding they cease the collection of data :)

Not the same, but this still doesn't explain why Apple Photos is so dog slow and has so few indicators as to what's going on.

Postmodernism: "Everything is a construct. Everything is relative. There is no base reality or ground truth."

Marxism: "Everything is class struggle. There is always, everywhere and in everything an oppressor and an oppressed. The only cure is revolution and ideological purification."

While the two may have been at odds at their inception, they now work together, initially in academia, but now, increasingly, everywhere in the U.S.

Bonds and Bondage: The bane of the Indian IT industry
The issue is that modern news (and the economic model that backs it) is a mix of entertainment, education, and investigation.

Even assuming all leads were pursued equally, and all stories were published, entertainment is still highly partisan.

Which, presumably, is why we saw partisanship jump when the entertainment component increased in revenue importance (90s talk radio, then 2000s competitive 24/7 news).

Fox News was objectively brilliant in that they saw this coming, which is why they went ahead and devoted a huge chunk of their airtime to entertainment-weighted programming.

Yeah as much as I like Joe Rogan's show (or at least I did before it moved to Spotify), I never thought of it as something I "trusted", or even something that would be comparable to a news program. Maybe I trusted that it was less fake and not as staged as most news, but it's comparing apples to oranges. Also, I dispute the idea that JRE is mainstream. It might be the most mainstream podcast, but almost everyone I know either hates the show or believes that Joe Rogan is a bad person, so I'm skeptical.
These are things I was taught when I grew up, which I think I'll also follow when I raise my children.

0. Save first. Spend the rest.

1. No money / allowances for doing chores. Chores are part of your life in your household.

2. Maintain a piggy bank or a notebook to note down what you have received and put it in savings. This would be the start of your wealth. My parents didn't adjust this amount to account for inflation, but I plan to do this for my children. They also kept the money in their bank account, but I kept track of the money in my notebook.

3. Maintain a notebook showcasing income/expense wrt your piggy bank.

4. After a certain age, sit with your child and explain the monthly expenses and investments and why they constitute a % of the total income/expense. Additionally teach them about investments and insurance.

5. Explain why certain things are outside of your capability to buy stuff. This would enable them to understand that not everything is affordable.

One of the most interesting non-fiction books I have read is Richard Rhodes' "The Making of the Atomic Bomb". It talks about how the majority of the brains behind the Manhattan Project came from one school in Budapest, Hungary called the 'Minta School'. John von Neumann being one of those geniuses.

It is an undergraduate degree (bachelors). I appreciate the reply, but "just get it done" is easier said than done for me - but you couldn't know:) I do what is possible for me. Sooner than later things get sorted out by themselves when I either make it or they kick me out. I don't know what's next then either way.

But you're definitely right, civil eng is quite broad and I have done jobs within it that I was good at and where I had fun. Bachelors thesis will be something about printing concrete.

You need to flip your question around - the person you're replying to is not suggesting there is data that living in Boston lowers testosterone, they are suggesting there is not enough data included in this study to extrapolate that this effect is anything other than local.

For the same reason that a study conducted on Japanese men would not produce results sufficient to draw a conclusion about all men globally, you can't draw a conclusion about all men in the US from a result observed in men in Boston.

Boston has a local environment, diet, culture and ethnography that could be causal in any result seen in any study.

Taken at a very simple level, you couldn't run a poll in Boston alone about anything - politics, preferred beer brands, opinions about Saturday Night Live, whatever - and assume your results would be representative of the entirety of the United States.

One hypothesis for the cause of the effect being described in this study is that contraceptive pill use in women is affecting hormone levels in drinking water.

Can you see how the use of a particular type of contraceptive pill could change from town to town, state to state, and that the water filtration systems may differ from town to town, state to state? And that's a pretty simple environmental factor you'd need to control for, or you could investigate locally.
That always confused me, because I thought Apple had a policy where you couldn't visually replicate their native iOS components, else they would reject you from the App Store. However I haven't worked in iOS-land since around 2015; has that policy changed?
I see why you aren't hiring everyone you want to--

Your practices sound coercive.

Expiring offers? Expiring signing bonuses? How disrespectful to peoples' time and competing obligations.

If I had competing offers, I wouldn't take yours on principle of disrespect for me taking my time to make important decisions. I'd take yours if I was low on cash-- not because I'd want to work for someone like you.

Several of them are hosting cell and radio services so that "pays the rent" on the location.

Dismantling and scrapping such a tower would be enormously expensive and bring no value to AT&T shareholders.

If they're in total disrepair, I'm sure a case can be made for safety in an urban area. The two towers closest to me are in rural areas with several other radio service tenants where maintenance is a covered cost.
IMO that just makes it a very interesting problem to work on.

> Understanding the final local address might not even use written data. It might just be tacit knowledge that's shared between a few local postal workers.

To me there seems to be a contradiction in those two statements. By definition, an address is written. You can't decide where to deliver an item in any other way. If one and the same written text of the address could imply two or more "final local addresses", and somehow the delivery worker decided where is the item actually supposed to arrive, how would the sender indicate the alternatives if not by including it in the text of the address? Or did you mean something different by this?
Hey thanks that was nice to hear. I don't have a blog myself if that's what you're asking (but do check out my latest project on YouTube "LED Dreamcoat").

If you mean about mining in general, any blogs or information sources for mining engineering information online tend to be exclusively commercial in nature. I wish it were otherwise but I feel it's a symptom of the amount of practitioners being relatively small compared with other professions. I have been thinking about creating a forum or Wiki lately, could be a fun project.
I agree, but Google is more in the news aggregation business, right?

I pay monthly donations to Democracy Now, PBS, and Matt Taibbi. For my tastes, I very much prefer these sources rather than MSNBC or Fox News, which I dislike (one reason is that they never seem to walk back major stories that we eventually find out that they initially got wrong - that seems either unprofessional or corrupt, or maybe both).
I'm gonna guess that spending money on that seems a highly dubious investment.

It's a simplification for sure, but not an oversimplification for the purposes of the article. It isn't a misleading premise off which the rest of the article hinges.

I think the purpose of this sentence is to demonstrate how everyday people view money, outdated maybe, simplified sure, but that's how we treat it and that's the sales pitch.
Yes, it hits in waves and every wave should be handled properly. It is pointless to compare totals. It is important to understand what can be done better and for that it makes sense to analyze each wave separately. Sweden miserably failed the first one and did not really care about others. Other Scandinavian and Baltic countries fared much better but could not continue to make perfect choices. Baltic is at the moment totally messed up by their poor vaccination rates.

But if you insist to compare totals, here is small list. Not really 10x difference but close.

Deaths per 100000
Sweden 144
Denmark 46
Finland 20
Norway 16

For sure, there are countries with even worse outcome. Still presenting Sweden as some kind of success story makes me sick.
There's an actual name for it -- Panglossianism -- named for Dr. Pangloss, the tutor in Voltaire's Candide who keeps insisting, despite catastrophically mounting evidence, that "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds."
