In news there's journalism and there's reporting. This story is reporting, it doesn't use many adjectives and doesn't have much of a point beyond the statistics represented. It allows people to form their own opinions based on their own experiences around the details of this story.

Journalists on the other hand are often side characters to their stories. Their stories come with a point, sometimes called a narrative, that's available to guide you in a certain direction of thinking. Journalism is largely what makes people distrust the news. Omitting, minimizing, or highlighting a fact are all ways journalists and editors play to the narratives.

Gallup regularly does these kinds of surveys and they publish them by default. They almost always get posted in the AP. If you look at the AP version of this article it's almost word for word the same. That's to say, it's posted on fortunes website, but it's not a top headline. They're not suddenly, after many years of this criticism, having a "reckoning with truth in journalism". This is the medias version of, "These are not the droids you're looking for"

> "You can ask it yourself and it will tell you too."

That's easy to test, I asked ChatGPT and it disagreed with you. It told me that while it does not have human level intelligence, many of the things it can do require 'a certain level of intelligence' and that it's possible there are patterns 'which could be considered a form of intelligence' in it but that they would not be conisdered human level.
> Compare Seymour Hersh's codswallop on the Skripal affair with the excellent work done by Bellingcat.

Done. Bellingcat exists as a parallel construction for US and British intelligence agencies and its only other purpose is to smear non-state controlled journalistic outlets. There was a leaked email from another source that indicates that even internally, US intelligence agencies don't think that Bellingcat is still a good way to spread information because normal people don't believe it any more.

On the other side, Hersh is a journalist with a long track record who wrote a story that is likely true, although we won't know until if and until comes out. Won't stop nationalists from pretending that they know something that they don't. They love a traitor.

I may be wrong, but most people that know python have already understood there's better ways to code than spreadsheets. Also, at least where I live, not even Google could undermine Excel's dominance.

PS: I'm convinced I was indeed wrong after reading replies, because I didn't consider the interaction of coders with no coders, and this tool may indeed be useful. Nevertheless I maintain these cultural changes are very hard, and wish the company good luck!
Most people don't want to be labor mobile, they want to be labor secure.

Generally you can agree with your employer to waive the notice period. Often people will also take their accumulated vacation days at that time.
Some collective labor agreements also specify that employees can take so many days off a month to look for a new job.

'grey news' not a bad idea but can still be manipulated by editorial.

Org A is the one you want to promote. Only show clips that make org A look good. Org B is the one you want to demote. Only show clips that make org B look bad. If org A does something bad pad it with 'org B' doing the same thing or never show it. If org B does something good never show it.

What is shown to you, and order matters. The talking heads bits most orgs go for along with it just adds color to it. But it is the same editorial process. You only have X amount of time and Y amount to show X < Y. Something has to go. You can pick sides even with that method.

So what's a good enough reason to fire someone but not have it take 3 months?
> contract stating that you're not allowed to leave without 3 months of notice seems extraordinarily restrictive. (What happens if you ignore it?)

You may in theory get sued for the cost of covering for you, but in practice what happens is you lose any outstanding owed you by the employer (wages and payment for holiday not taken).

It's generally considered that this is an employee protection, because it works in the other direction as well. The employer has to give you 3 months notice to end the contract.

(it's not unheard of for people to get the "locked out of your account and building" at the point of resigning, then get paid for the 3 months. This is referred to as "gardening leave")
Why does it have to be a rate? Failures counts and failure types are good enough to extrapolate whatever else you need
True, but it can be copied and returned quickly without the victim knowing, and you have to trust every device you put that SD card into to read the pad.

It will be interesting to see if the UAC prompt overrides I've seen when using Kali Linux and wireshark as a VMware guest on Win10, will also occur with this code. So the UAC prompt override's is where the Vmware guest network for Kali linux is put into promiscuous mode in order to capture all packets.

Every windows reboot switches off the promiscuous mode and someone on here suggested its Vmware doing this not windows.

Maybe this is the code/tool to see if it is windows or vmware overriding UAC protected settings or not.

Actually, you can do another cool thing, too. The IPFS ecosystem has IPNS, which generates a public/private-key-back hash-name, which can point to another IPFS hash. So this way, a shadow librarian group can have one IPNS hash that always points to the latest catalog.
The article says "...an Amazon lawyer told workers that they had 'already seen instances” of text generated by ChatGPT that “closely” resembled internal company data', so there seems to be some evidence that it is actually happening - assuming that the evidence actually is from confidential data, it seems more plausible that it got into ChatGPT this way, than through some other leak.
Yes, it is very true that "news organizations intend to mislead, misinform or persuade the public to adopt a particular point of view through their reporting."

But I contend that:

1. News organizations today are less biased than they have ever been.

2. They are better than every other alternative.

3. They are better than nothing.

1. People imagine we had a golden age of news reporting. Never happened. For example, the media sat on the juiciest of juicy stories (JFK's affairs) so that they wouldn't lose access to the White House. What other more subtle ways were they influenced?

2. Where else are you going to get your news from? Facebook, TikTok? People claim that independent sources on SubStack are better, but then they list examples that have obvious and massive biases...

3. Informed voting is a crucial aspect of democracy. If you don't explicitly seek out the news you're going to get it anyway, and those sources are things like ads or political parties that are very much trying to influence you.

I think we have to throw in "news organizations" with "democracy" and "market economy" in the category of "awful things with obvious massive drawbacks, but better than any other alternative".

Like democracy and capitalism, we should concentrate on making news organizations incrementally better rather than discarding them for a worse alternative.
Nice app. Good luck.

I use a spreadsheet tailored exactly to my situation.

It's not exactly for "budgeting" but it's more of a general purpose expense tracker.

It started out simple, but it's now got categories, tracks various bank accounts, investments, gives me useful data for my tax calculations etc. Graphing is built-in. Building new features for new use cases hasn't been too hard so far.

And I have hooked up to it other scripts to do periodic cleanups, parse emails and populate data etc.

(by the way, spreadsheet apps have a high power to weight ratio).
Yes it is. The Arduino framework has been ported to many platforms. However, the OP is about CircuitPython, not using any Arduino software.

> It is highly offensive that the German government pretends it does not know where the crime is happening. How about they deal with a few of these clans numbering 100s of people? This can be done , has to be done the convential way, as these clans will not be as stupid as leave digital traces, as computer illeterate as they might be.

> The government has not even defined who they are targeting, they just use the commonly thrown around terms.

The government is just after the really easy convictions on the cheap. Traditional investigation is complex and expensive, needs personnel, etc. Sifting through vast databases for easy wins is far cheaper. Catching big fish also isn't opportune, because that would mean politicians being responsible for incarcerating their buddies, like in Cum-Ex. In related news, the most common reason to be incarcerated in Germany: Using public transport without a ticket... Most convictions for the least amount of effort.
Well, you don't need to be a conspiracy theorist to realize that pretty much all of American MSM is highly partisan, some worse than others.

I grew up in the UK and 70s-80s BBC seemed a lot more neutral, but of course every news organization has their own implicit world view, relative to which they report the news. There is no such thing as an unbiased news source, although there are those that try to brainwash you and those that at least try to keep it factual.

Traditionally the business is the source of spreadsheets (data comes from the biz side of the equation). The data analyst then has to make sense of the data.

So to convince a BA to input their data on Neptyne because the DA might need to python script it at some point is maybe premature optimization.

That's an uphill battle... But I definitely see it a good case for me personally as someone who both originates data (nothing fancy) and needs to process it further...

Telegram actually uses SMS as the first factor. You can set a password as well, but that's an optional second factor.

That said, Telegram isn't very secure at all. You can make it secure by sacrificing all kinds of conveniences (i.e. not taking part in group chats) but the platform is just too unreliable.

It's a shame their apps work so well because the underlying protocol and security are behind on all of their competitors. From iMessage to WhatsApp and from FB Messenger to XMPP, encrypted group chats can be enabled easily. Only SMS/MMS is a less secure way to group chat.

It pays to pay attention to the specific wording of his post. He really doesn't want his workers to unionize, and the reason he dared UAW to hold the vote is because he knows that because of historical reasons UAW is really unpopular in Fremont.

In short, Fremont used to be a GM plant and have their own union. When this union was absorbed into UAW, it was fairly contentious and many in Fremont believed that UAW didn't care about auto workers in California. Then very shortly after, UAW negotiated with GM about downsizing, and the end result was that the Fremont plant was shut down. This was seen in Fremont as a total betrayal. Soon after, Tesla bought the plant.

So UAW really isn't liked, and any vote about organizing under them would be a landslide against. A different union might be a lot more successful.

Promoters of sex-deception and concomitant fertility destruction, typically seem to communicate in a way that is (1) a refusal to address substantial points, (2) adversarial hyperbole, and (3) refusal to engage in any kind rational argument that could lead to mutually beneficial truth-seeking and learning.

>The challenge is, in many places, you won't be able to practice as an engineer without going through an accredited program.

While not literally generally true in the US, in practice, you'll probably be hard put to land a job.

It's not only overkill. A lot of the curriculum that doesn't involve a lab or a machine shop is probably mostly not very useful. Navier-Stokes fluid flow equations have very little to do building things.

Well, when they also expect 12 weeks notice in their employee contracts, they can't exactly argue when you are held to the same standard in your current employment can they?
Bidirectional notice periods tend to be contract, rather than statute. That is, it exists because the country has not legislated against it, and it's by convention included in the contracts.

Within the genre of “Xoogler complains about Google” this is one of the better posts I’ve ever read. They really hit the nail on the head in most areas without overstating their points or reducing any of the complex systems to trivial hot takes. If you’ve worked at Google most of this post will ring true.

My main criticism would be the consistent references to the Waze cofounders blog post which I thought was entitled whining and probably the worst entry in this genre I’ve ever read.
News organizations write articles and headlines to deliberately mislead people if it means those people will click on those headlines, open up an article, and engage with some ads. Is this so controversial that nearly half of people disagree?

This doesn’t come from a partisanship bias, as nearly all well known media outlets, large and small, engage in that behavior. Their content often still has some value, and we need both hard and soft reporting to make sense of this world. That doesn’t mean all this content is motivated or framed by some selfless desire to shine the brightest light on the darkest places at any cost.

I don’t think automatically equating skepticism with conspiracy theory adoption is fair. I can’t really think of any conspiracy theory I buy into.

You bring up some interesting points, but I respectfully disagree.
