I only read your headline, so I have no idea why you think that, but it doesn't seem to be working in practice.

- drdeca 4y agoI imagine the idea is “should be”, not “is”. I’m going to go check now.
- User23 4y agoIt would appear the article was persuasive.
- notahacker 4y agoFWIW the headline was more persuasive than the article, which draws an odd analogy between open source (trustworthy without auditing the code due to being audited by many other people) and news (not always trustworthy despite being audited by many people) and bafflingly concludes that the reason that people can't faithfully discern what happened with 99% certainty by reading a broad range of headlines is due to censorship. Perhaps the author's experience of the real world is based entirely on reading headlines.
- petemir 4y agoPerhaps he should read a full article about the bystander effect. I wonder how many people actually audit open source code (or even take any action further than just not using it if they find something odd).
