Journalist here: Yes I do think that journalists often work for free. Many, many journalists work for free until they "make it". It's sadly such a competitive field that it's the only way to get paid work down the line.

Regardless though, the most-critical local reporting I know of is funded without advertisement or paywalls. Both newsroom and freelance journalism funding happens through grants. Funny enough, the orgs that I'm never able to get freelance work through are orgs that have paywalls and significant ads. Lots of gatekeeping when you have advertisers to appease.
Hmmm...

"Best" informed seems to be a mess in the making.

Best at consuming Cable News productions?

Best at status quo narratives?

How many of those have been shown to be really wrong not too long after they were put out there? That is a big list!

Setting that mess aside, is this not just a clever way of saying some people are too stupid to vote?

Often, votes are not about what to do. It would be most helpful if they were!

Instead, we most often vote on WHO decides what to do, not HOW or WHAT should be done.

People, even poorly informed ones, know what their experiences are, and the things to improve, priorities and all that come though just fine.

We really should be talking about how to get the people who decide what to do to be better informed about the people they are supposed to be making those decisions about.

Right now, both major parties in the US oppose other parties. It is hard to blame them, but this does leave us all with poor choices and leadership track records largely reflect that reality.

Not sure we can put these problems on the voters. Given better options, I am confident the people would vote them into power.
If that illegal activity was connected to the person in public office, absolutely. The actions around the US forcing the firing of a prosecutor going after a company with whom Hunter has signifiant financial interests — that’s a pretty big deal.

not necessarily. UFOs might not hide intentionally; maybe they don't care but happen to rarely hang out in populated areas.

for instance, maybe they just care about the sea floor, and only surface to beam data back. or they're preferentially attracted to fast-moving objects like fighter jets, or sources of unusual EM signatures.

if UFOs are alien drones trying to hide, why do they suck at it?
Being embarrassed by it seems childish. Who are you trying to impress?
When you're running for president of the US and your son is in an overall shady bed with China and Russia it should matter. If Joe knew, it should at least be fair news, same if he didn't know.

Its rampant across industries. Hotel chains have sub-brands, sometimes with suspiciously similar names.

As far as industries go, the restaurant industry is probably one of the least consolidated in the world. For every chain restaurant, there are a dozen standalone restaurants.

I ride more days than not, and this is an excellent laymans description of the the practice. I call it having a conversation where we spend years trying to understand one another, and it ebbs and flows with greater and lesser mutual understanding. A horse remembers everything it experiences, and it is very difficult to get them to unlearn the memory and expectation of something that they have set in their minds. The job of a rider is to bring the consistency and intention to relating with another being.

As riders, we use geometric figures as the empirical control we revert to, or the base message. Horses know nothing of straight lines or circles until we establish a basic language of "forward" or "around," and then faster, slower, and they begin to anticipate the figures - to where eventually, you are riding mainly by thought and the microexpressions in your body the thought causes. Beyond stimulus response training, as a rider you begin to interpret desire and intent from another being, and it anticipates and responds to your intents and desires as it experiences them.

Where it gets extra fascinating is that your emotional state and beleifs about yourself creates those micro body expressions the animal senses, and so you learn to discipline your mind so that distraction, fear, boldness, forwardness, aggression, urgency, calm are senses that you intentionally summon and express and transmit to another mind that is wielding 1200lbs of muscle across four tall legs. I think learning to cultivate the acceptance and willingness of another being in nature is the origin of human morality. It's a multi-millenia old relationship, and the beauty of it is that when we ride, we inculcate the minds of horses with our intentions and a way of relating by using non-verbal language, and we use geometry to encode the values for our intentions to them. Horses aren't machines or symbols, they are other beings who we relate to. So glad the author wrote this, re-assessing our relationship to horses in a moral and philosophical sense will help us all. Again.
Those are both fixable problems
I think all of this is possible through sampling and customer interviews. Besides Slack has fairly high awareness. The marketing strategy changes as your product moves through the awareness curve.
> the concept of "servers" is not one that makes any actual sense; they are using that word as a stand-in for rooms/workspaces/etc

What do you mean? The analogue to rooms would be channels, which falls under a server.
Fortunately I got a 2 year old clone of wiki on a zim file. 2.6 GB isn't all that much and it has pictures.

I don't think I will trust wiki ever again if they do this. It is already like an encylopedia made in bar bathroom graphiti. Now they want to turn it into 4chan.
Guilded over discord in my opinion. More features like forums in a channel. Long term, I only see discord and their company culture turning it into twitch or other zealot infested dumps.
It seems like your mind is already made up, but in any case:

https://raisingchildren.net.au/newborns/sleep/where-your-bab... (Australian government-based parenting resources)

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/caring-for-a-newborn/redu... (UK Health service)

It's all official health advice from government bodies which say it's unsafe regardless of the parents situation.

I've found though this debate is similar to the "anti-vax" one, in that most people are quite emotional about it regardless of evidence, and can't generally be persuaded.

Well. I'm used to thinking poorly of PayPal, but that's remarkable. Wonder if someone lost money if they could take PayPal to court on account of what could be argued as negligence? (Or maybe not; IANAL for a reason.)

Weren't only some emails authenticated? The details on how the Washington Post authenticated them weren't enough to make me trust that they knew what they're doing. Email is famously unencrypted in a lot of its transit; could it have been sniffed? Could Biden have been the victim of spyware that captured the emails? It may very well be real, but the story about how it got to the press is bizarre, and the evidence is messy.
Rogan kept putting words in his mouth. He kept insinuating that Facebook and the FBI talked specifically about the Hunter Biden laptop story, when Zuckerberg did not say that at all. Zuckerberg said the FBI warned them to be on high alert for propaganda. Facebook's judgment after that conversation was that the Hunter Biden laptop story fit that profile.

As for the story itself, I don't know all of the ins or outs, but my understanding is that it doesn't amount to anything, and certainly nothing in comparison to the entanglements of the Trump family.

I think Facebook did the right thing. It's not the obligation of social media sites to facilitate October surprises. They do not have to allow themselves to be a tool to gin up smoke. Ironically, the FBI itself was played in just such a way in 2016.
If your account gets compromised attackers can use the details from the history to move laterally in the network, because if you have passwords etc in the history then the attackers have access to it as well.

This is especially true for bridge / bastion systems that control access to internal servers. If the passwords/secrets to access the internal servers are in the history they get compromised as well.
If nothing else, it's information disclosure; you should not be able to go from having a person's email address to having even part of their phone number.
Ope. DAL156 just took off from NYC to Accara. It’s also a 767.

Really hard to argue that Zuck and his companies have had a net positive impact on the world.
Makes sense, thanks for the context.
So what’s in the laptop that doesn’t truly matter is real, but the information in the laptop that does truly matter is fake?

That’s quite a pragmatic approach.

For what it’s worth, the NYT and the Feds have acknowledged the laptop and the data on it is quite real.

Sad. But, also very, very rare. And no mention of any pre-existing issues. I’d be curious to learn if there were any. The chiropractic adjustment may have just acted as a catalyst, but we’ll probably never know for certain.
> B. Dealing With Variability and Stability

> Much of the resistance towards 100% RE systems in the literature seems to come from the a-priori assumption that an energy system based on solar and wind is impossible since these energy sources are variable. Critics of 100% RE systems like to contrast solar and wind with ’firm’ energy sources like nuclear and fossil fuels (often combined with CCS) that bring their own storage. This is the key point made in some already mentioned reactions, such as those by Clack et al. [225], Trainer [226], Heard et al. [227] Jenkins et al. [228], and Caldeira et al. [275], [276]. However, while it is true that keeping a system with variable sources stable is more complex, a range of strategies can be employed that are often ignored or underutilized in critical studies: oversizing solar and wind capacities; strengthening interconnections [68], [82], [132], [143], [277], [278]; demand response [279], [172], e.g. smart electric vehicles charging using delayed charging or delivering energy back to the electricity grid via vehicle-to-grid [181], [280]–[282]; storage [40]–[43], [46], [83], [140], [142], such as stationary batteries; sector coupling [16], [39], [90]–[92], [97], [132], [216], e.g. optimizing the interaction between electricity, heat, transport, and industry; power-to-X [39], [106], [134], [176], e.g. producing hydrogen at moments when there is abundant energy; et cetera. Using all these strategies effectively to mitigate variability is where much of the cutting-edge development of 100% RE scenarios takes place.

> With every iteration in the research and with every technological breakthrough in these areas, 100% RE systems become increasingly viable. Even former critics must admit that adding e-fuels through PtX makes 100% RE possible at costs similar to fossil fuels. These critics are still questioning whether 100% RE is the cheapest solution but no longer claim it would be unfeasible or prohibitively expensive. Variability, especially short term, has many mitigation options, and energy system studies are increasingly capturing these in their 100% RE scenarios.

I'm sure it's all coincidence and not a controlled operation... Because that would just be crazy.
How old was he then? Perhaps you were more mature at 19 than he was.
Based on a bunch of comments and replies, it seems like many people might have missed this (or just going off the headline) they’ve banned a 767 of a specific registration number. Plenty of 767s flying there. As I write this a different Delta (DAL 156) has just departed JFK heading to Accara.

So yeah, them banning that one plane is not some clever political ploy to have newer planes fly to their country lol…
i've tried and not been able to.

Even as a media server I personally find it too expensive to buy one that can handle 4K transcoding, frequently needed for subtitles. I just use Synology to server the files and run Plex on a separate machine.
I'm not sure it can be a de facto standard with the number of sites that flatly refuse to recognize + as a valid character in email addresses. There's so many that I gave up and started just using . instead.
Six digit code means they can brute force it if they try across enough accounts. 500k tries they'll have 50% success rate of brute forcing 1 account.
Was this in America? Can you just do that, open a delivery restaurant on a whim? I'd imagine there would be all sorts of inspections and permits that would need to be acquired first before being able to sell one toasty sandwich.
Same in Australia.

It's all about perspective. I think, unpopularly but based on objectivity and rationality, that oil companies are great and have done a world a lot of good – literally everything we do today from modern medicine to farming depends on fossil fuels, it has sustained 8 billion people on this planet and saved countless lives. Without it, we would see horror of death like you've never witnessed, millions of people would die. This whole thing is a matter of perspective, like a russian doll illusion. Stare hard enough and it will rotate the other way.

You can similarly see social media in two ways. Zuckerberg also gets disproportionate amount of hate compared to other media. Who's the CEO of Tiktok?

Time wrote an article openly gloating about it: https://time.com/5936036/secret-2020-election-campaign/
Redmond Washington, home if Microsoft, until Uber eats came along you had only a tiny handful of choices for delivery.

Around 2015 or so I was in charge of driving to pick up dinner for my team when we worked late. It was either that or Pizza.

Do restaurants even have their own delivery drivers any more? I actually ordered from a place recently that didz but it was the first time I'd seen that, again outside of pizza, since Chinese delivery as a child in the 1990s!
That would be ok if I am allowed to tag huge swaths of people as uninformed. Would you like to be tagged as uninformed?
I'm sure it's against both's ToS but that doesn't really matter. The concern here is spamming on the third party ordering apps and clearly trying to appear as other legitimate brands. Hopefully the reviews shown in the app will detract people from ordering from them (if it were a popular restaurant then surely a low rating would be a red flag?).

There are legitimate reasons for a cloud kitchen wishing to run multiple brands/food concepts that are fine and actually very entrepreneurial. For example, someone could wish to run multiple different food concepts (Chinese, Thai, Pizza, Mexican, etc.), each with limited menus and cross use a bulk of the ingredients, and instead of having one huge disjointed menu, you can more accurately cater and be found by hungry eaters who are looking for that specific cuisine. As long as you're providing quality food at good prices then you'll be competitive with other restaurants within your chosen cuisines and be able to cater to more of the demand-side of the marketplace.
Tack on question: Is it easy enough to boot directly into Linux on older Macs?
Great question, this was in Australia, we were able to obtain a temporary food license, one of my brothers is a professional chef, and we both hold the necessary food safety accreditations and had an inspection done by the council to approve the space for food preparation.
No strong disagreements with the article, however... It's TOTP, not TOPT (a mistake made throughout the article). I am skeptical of the qualifications and much of the basis for complaint.

> Instead of a 10,000-message limit and 5 GB of storage, we are giving full access to the past 90 days of message history and file storage.

This limit sounded reasonable. In fact, I would rather set such limit myself to prevent leaks (for example, my Telegram account is set to delete if I'm inactive for 60 days).

IMO, private chat message SHOULD be temporary by default, and made persistent only if user decides to achieve it. I also don't use chat services to share my PPTs/PDF/other files in general, there are way better place to do such thing than in an IM.

As long as Slack don't delete my account and chat rooms (and it's settings), it's fine by me.
