The reason "fact-checked" seems political is because there is a movement among the American right to discredit any job that involves seeking or explaining the truth. I may come across as hyperbolic but I'm serious: name a job where you try to sort out what's true and what isn't, and American right-wing trolls will accuse it of bias.

Scientist? Journalist? Professor? Librarian? Doctor? It was only a matter of time before "fact-checker" got the same treatment as these other people. None of these people or careers are beyond reproach, but there is a difference between good-faith attempts at finding the truth and bad-faith accusations of bias.

This is great! It works quite well. I would love to see something like this with the ability to use license the music for a Youtube video so that you could get good music for a video, and exposure and money to lesser known artists.
The point isn't necessarily to change their opinion because you're right, ultimately they'll often contort their argument into any way they can.

It's more to show others that they're incorrect for XYZ reasons and to prevent that detritus from accumulating. Over time if you just let them post without counters or some form of moderation eventually it becomes the norm.

This is fun. Thank you for posting.
It's not a fall guy. The contracting company could pay its employees more and give them benefits and reserve less of the money for the rest of the company. If the company needs more funds to do this they can change Google more.
As a violinist I disagree with your conclusion. There are a lot of valid criticisms about those studies, including some from musicians who participated. There's also a notable conflict of interest in that the PI is a violin maker and has a vested interest in proving the quality of modern instruments. I summarized the research and criticisms in a Reddit comment[1] a while back.

There are so many subjective components to sound preferences and value it's simply impossible to make claims like "nothing unique about it sounds compared to other high-quality violins", "value comes primarily from its artistic and historical nature rather its sound quality", or "There are modern instruments which sound better"

In my example I'm not trusting the individual but individual may be trusting themselves.

I think that is a crucial difference morally, legally, and politically.

It is one thing to give up your own autonomy because you don't trust yourself, which is entirely reasonable.

It is another thing to give up everybody's personal autonomy because you don't trust yourself.

Giving the government the power to strip someone's rights and place them in guardianship I'm sure avoid some elder abuse and suffering.

My point is that I don't think it is ethical for those who want this protection to make that decision for everyone.
Yes, our thermostatic valve has around 270 degrees of travel on the temperature dial (which is separate from the water flow dial). Of those 270 degrees, it takes about 140 degrees to go from my preferred temperature to my wife's preferred temperature. With that large a range I can just turn it to roughly the right place before turning the water on and it's always just the right temperature. This isn't the cheapest valve (about £190) but I think many cheaper thermostatic valves are probably just as good.

Ours is one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XNZHZGJ/
Good point. People smell condescension, and then check out.

The whole thing cools. They'll say just enough to get to the next topic gracefully. The dispute is patched up with something like "we'll agree to disagree" or something like that, in the interest of polite conversation, rather than square-on debate.

In that scenario one does not receive the full force of an opponent's argument. It never got ventilated. An opponent only brings that energy to a debate between earnest people who see themselves -- not their arguments -- as equals.
That is why a network operator might try discouraging this activity through their pricing structure. The self-interest of a network operator is to be not getting complaints and demands about the activities of the customer and many network operators would rather a person who generates complaints go be a customer of some other operator and if that can be done with no customer contact all the better.

Just because you see something in "weeb culture" doesn't mean it's unique to "weeb culture". Naming things after people happens everywhere, even in programming, booleans, bezier curves, Turing machines, etc.
> They want rules that suppress the opportunities of someone else and are certain that the rules won't suppress them.

It should be noted that some of this sentiment comes from people who used the same techniques themselves to disrupt social arrangement, and who want to suppress them precisely because they know that it can work. Here's what one Soviet dissident had to say on the subject of human rights after USSR was gone:

"I always knew that only the decent people should have rights, and the indecent ones should not. ... Personally, I've had enough. Some time ago we [dissidents] and the USA have used this concept as a ram against the USSR and communists. This concept has served its purpose, and we should stop lying about human rights and promoting their defenders, lest we undermine ourselves."

It's rarely that blatant, but you can kinda sorta see similar sentiments in e.g. the explanations of why ACLU "evolves" on free speech.

why not?

These are all things the current underlying implementation checks for, and report via the visibility api, which is just a boolean effectively.

The user should be able to set a toggle, where the visibility api will return "true" (aka visible), for all of these underlying checks that the browser does. E.g., the visibilityChange event does not fire when user sets the toggle to true.
2 things that haven't been mentioned.

Why doesn't it collapse?

1. It took one twitter post by CZ to bring down FTX and it had one of the cleanest images around. Maybe people just "ran to the bank" and were able to get their funds back at the expected rate so the panic went down.

2. There's one major FUD about USDT every month published by major sites. If a bank run stemming from a news post was gonna crash it would have happened already.

Wow, I'm actually surprised at how unconvinced I am. Moving from a declarative config syntax to arbitrary Python is rarely a good idea, and "the point of this is to run commands" feels pretty flat to me - after all, the "point" of setup.py was to run commands, but we all know the problems that caused.

I think that is broadly right in theory, yes, though the IRS isn’t saying that currently. They haven’t provided any guidance at all last I heard, in spite of being asked for it by industry groups many months ago.

Setting aside the apparently absurd state of things as they stand today, I agree in principle that coding that doesn’t result in a new asset shouldn’t be treated as R&D and thus should be deductible even under this regime. However, the issue that we’ve been grappling with is that even if we end up there, it’s still not totally clear where the line is with regards to software, as software is markedly different from other asset classes (e.g. machinery or equipment). Code written to support an existing revenue generating piece of software may still be R&D. For example, is adding a new feature to software R&D that creates a new asset (the new feature and new software version), or is it maintenance of an existing asset (the existing software)? It’s a mess. Under the previous regime this wasn’t an issue; you had an option to treat software development either way, so no one was worried about these nuances because it was a choice, meaning there was no way to get it wrong. Not so anymore, and the IRS is not helping to understand it right now based on what I’ve been told.

Then add in the administrative burden presented by this change: Software devs are likely to get very familiar with 0.1 time tracking that lawyers and other professionals suffer with if this change sticks, so that businesses can figure out what is deductible and what must be amortized.

Another issue is that if you dispose of or retire the asset there doesn’t seem to be any provision to accelerate or write off the depreciation immediately. This starts to look like a particularly pernicious challenge in the case of startups, for whom cash flow is an issue and who may very well fail before the 5 year amortization period is up. It’s also a major potential issue in the case of re-writes.

The apparent inability to write off failed R&D is also a devastating change in my opinion, and its impacts extend well beyond software. It greatly increases the risk of R&D at a time when we need it most to confront challenges like climate change, to remain competitive with China, to capitalize on opportunities in AI, and so forth.

So while I agree with you in principle, even if that’s where we end up - and it makes sense that it’s a reasonable outcome if deductibility is not restored - it’s still a real mess compared to where we were previously, and will have the effect of stifling innovation and economic growth.

EDIT: Cleaned up a bit. A lot of folks do contradict my point: They’re saying that you can still deduct software development R&D citing old info, or that you can deduct it if you don’t take the credit. That’s just wrong.

One could also release the chlorine into the atmosphere to destroy atmospheric methane. Elemental chlorine in sunlight is rapidly (within minutes) broken down into chlorine atoms. These atoms, being free radicals, efficiently extract hydrogen from methane molecules, starting a chain of reactions that converts the remaining fragment to CO2 and water.

You'd need a hell of a lot of chlorine to compensate for current methane injection, though.
Fact-checkers take on a quasi-official role though, a kind of information police that has special trust bestowed on them. We typically hold the police to a higher standard than we do those they interact with. Why wouldn't we also do this with professional and/or official fact-checkers?

Have there been any rumblings about a new version? DoD was my main game for quite a while. I got into it before CS existed and stuck with it after CS got bug. Eventually I made the switch to CS and really got into CSGO for competitive play, but I'd love to play a new DoD.
I call it outsourcing non-compliance. The simple act of going with the lowest bidder is existential encouragement for suppliers to cut corners.

One of them has already been mentioned, but I'll add it anyway.

- Harvard Stat 110: awesome and somewhat challenging lecture series on probability. It goes into all the probability basics, but also goes into problem solving skill very often, so the problem sets tended to be hard as I recall it. But the nice thing is that a lot of it you can find the solutions which are very well written -- and for the exams as well. Also, the lecturer Joe Blitzstein won best professor at Harvard if I'm not mistaken. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2SOU6wwxB0uwwH80KTQ6...

- Statistical Rethinking by Richard Malkreath: man this one will make you relearn statistics. And with a heavy bayesian flavor, which if you hadn't had the chance to learn, will bend your mind as well. You will learn to build models that can describe a lot of situations in the real world, and estimate the parameters from data. Cool stuff if you ask me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYUykHScxj8&list=PLDcUM9US4X...

- Frank Harrel's Bioistatistics for biomedical reasearch: Frank Harrel is the go to guy to understand how to use data in clinical trials and diagnostics research. His book Regression Modeling strategies is a gem that every data scientist should read. This lecture series is aimed at biomedical researches, ie. people without a strong background in theoretical statistics. In the lectures he talks about the best practices and pitfalls you'll come accross when doing and reading research, and also explain some R code to do a better job. Harrel also wrote some very important R packages i.e. Hmisc and rms. https://www.youtube.com/@bbrcourse6203/videos

- calling bullshit in the era of big data: this is a last year course so it is very laid back in the discussions. I didn't go through the whole thing. But what I watched I remember it was really nice and thought provoking.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2OtU5vlR0k&list=PLPnZfvKID1...

- statistical learning by Hastie and Tibshirani: these are the guys that wrote the two main books on statistical learning. If one wants to get into DS, this is the place to start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvySJGj-88U&list=PLoROMvodv4...

- Discrete Differential Geometry by Keenan Crane: ok, I didn't see the whole thing, because it was above my understanding. But the graphics and images are so eye catching I almost wanted to just sit there watching. I'm pretty sure this and his computer graphics lectures are aso engaging as hell and hidden gems of the internet.

HANG ON!

I think this just made me realise an issue I was having with Swift Package Manager a few months back. We have a bunch of ObjC frameworks in our app that we don't want people to update anymore so we can rewrite them, and we just threw them all into a big umbrella project, but for some reason we couldn't get the binary target URL from Github Enterprise to work on our self hosted Enterprise instance because the checksum would be different every time, but it worked perfectly for Github Cloud.

Is there anyone from Github here - Can you confirm that is the cause of issue for GH Enterprise?
Wow, I wish the last one I encountered had that. Plumber hooked up the shower valve fixture backward at my dad's new place. Also didn't even properly tighten the screws. Thermostatic valves aren't reversible, so it just didn't work right at all (basically got to choose full-hot or full-cold). They neglected to provide a shutoff for the shower, and he wasn't sure about draining whole system (it's an over-engineered water system with well-draw, sump pump, water softener, multiple redundant filters, gas water heater, array of in-floor heating, hydronic air furnace, and who knows what else). Access around/behind the fixture plate was non-existant.

In retrospect probably should have just clamped the soft lines upstream to effect the repair.

It's fascinating. From what I've seen, OP's problem stems from:

* They post something. Someone links to the post here. Someone makes a comment here to the effect of "I think this about what he said". Someone else replies with "actually, it's 'they'". Shitstorm. Therefore, HN is populated primarily by transphobes.

* They post something on Twitter. Someone links to the tweet here. Someone comments on how they wish it was a blog rather than a series of tweets. Apparently the author feels personally attacked by such comments.

* They post something. Someone links to the post here. A Twitter bot tweets the article from here and @s them, therefore they have to keep blocking those bot accounts, and this is apparently HN's fault.

What I find fascinating is that, other than the bots thing, which is now irrelevant because apparently they don't use Twitter anymore, whether someone links to a post of theirs here or not has no effect on them unless they decide to come here and read what people say about it. It's an unusual case of extreme fragility and seemingly wishing to be punished. "Ow! The fire burns me! I should be able to stick my hand in the fire without being burned!"

The one development is the satellite connectivity. For me and my friends, this is a pretty huge feature as most weekends (especially during hunting season), we're far from service with all sorts of injury-causing devices and accident-invoking substances at hand.

Unfortunately, I bought my 12 mini long ago and it's still going strong, and my friend bought the version without satellite because he didn't even know that was an available feature. So good feature, zero uptake. Blame marketing.

Sure, a toggle is one option. The main point is to introduce popularity as a factor and ultimately the best UI and defaults are best decided through A-B testing.

I'd also add that it's usually a good idea to incorporate this setting into the URL, regardless of the UI, so that a specific order can be bookmarked and shared.
They also only optimize for bigram statistics (2 matrices), so they don't utilize the associative property of matrices A(BC)=(AB)C, corresponding to string concatenation...

Sure, I'll take you on one of the crown jewels that "the Right-wing Trolls" use to discredit Fact Checkers.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hillary-clinton-smash-phon...

Read it.

The point of the claim is that Hillary Clinton had her phones destroyed. This is true, but the Fact Checkers cannot allow this to be true, so what is an honest Democrat-leaning Fact Checker to do?

Easy, you muddy the claim and add to it: the Right-wing Trolls aren't claiming Hillary had her phones destroyed. No, I've decided that they're claiming that she personally destroyed them with a hammer! AHA! Got you Right-wring Trolls! That's definitely not entirely true.

Verdict: MIXTURE. Clinton did not personally, with her own hands, use a hammer to destroy phones.

So you see, this is what Fact Checking is. When the truth needs to be denied, you muddy the waters, you add irrelevant details to the claim that no one really cares about, and then use those details to claim that the original statement is not true.

And look, the issue isn't that this is being done, it's that it's being presented as fact checking, which is why I distinguish between fact checking and Fact Checking.
