Did and done. However, I fail to see why Wikileaks is considered a Fact-checker, or how this pertains to a belief that NO fact-checker is reliable. Are you claiming that Wikileaks is trustworthy and can replace a fact-checker, but isn'

I have personally asked an individual why they don't trust snopes. Their claim is that it's a Democrat rag towel and shill. I then ask, then what fact-checker would you trust? Their response: None of them. Congratulations. We&#x27

And that's what makes it ~spooooooky~. It's just absentmindedly optimizing a cold value function! No more humanity! More more external input! Just cold machine logic! We've doomed ourselves!!!! But seriously. No, there is not

Pew did some research on large news outlets and how much different groups trusted them. I'd try sampling from their list a mix of ones you agree with and ones you don't. Especially some of the ones not recognized outside of their

Well, right, that would remove the Moral Hazard. And instead of insurance companies, it appears Social Media mobs are being effective at collective bargaining, which in other countries outside of the US has shown to be effective at keeping

Then you also start to run into spurious correlations. Track enough variables in a population and you're bound to get correlations.

Yeah, my general policy is if someone consistently posts stuff like this, either lower their frequency in my Feed or Unfollow altogether. Similarly, see memes. Been tempted to remove if they also consistently post severely biased sources, b

This is a classic problem in game manuals as well. They have to act as both tutorial AND reference guide. Working through front the front to back is necessary in order to learn the systems and things have to flow in a logical progression. W

Most recent studies of deep canvassing (redone to fix the fabricated data) indicate that a strong, empathetic listener with leading questions has only about a 10% success rate. Note this is NOT shooting out facts, not necessarily a close in

Depends on how back you go I suppose. In modern cuisine, if it's got avocados, it's Californian! If you want to go much further back, you get Mexican food.

It will likely be a net drain on the budget, but it's highly politically unviable to stop payments altogether.

Galileo v Church was about whether the Earth moved, not about the Earth being a sphere.

Compounding the error is the claim he discovered the Americas. He actually found the Caribbean islands. Which is kinda close, but not really the same. But yay simplification that Columbus found America! At least that's what most teach

Very likely you need to hold some threshold of stock similar to how certain amounts of stock provide added benefits such as representative voting.

Yup, there are three schools of thought. Premillenialism, Amillennialism, and Postmillenialism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennialism Most Evangelicals believe in Premillenialism (thank you Left Behind Series) so

Something annealing and other local maxima algorithms do is always inject some noise. Annealing calls this the temperature. So Facebook could ensure that 5-10% of your feed comes from a "region" around where it thinks you stand, t

That definitely would have been much more interesting. Generate a few accounts. consistently cause the algorithm to think you are Red vs Blue (via Likes, Profile tweaks, Posts from specific sources like Mother Jones vs Instapundit/Drud

That's partly by design, and partly due to skewed incentives. As noted below, the skewed incentives are that prosecutors need to close and get convictions in order to progress. They are graded on how well they can get convictions, no

And it's not even necessarily due to a bad spec. I work on a very large and evolving code base. And part of the R&D process is to throw difference features at the product to see if it improves the health. But at the same time we ca

Part of the search space though should also consider the global state of the game, which includes things like your own deck, which adds a further complication for forecasting branching. And if you want to get truly smart, you also have to c

If a group is dead, it will be automatically captured at the end of the game. So, in this case, the black stone is auto-captured, and you get the territory within as well. So, yes, playing white stones to capture is actually detrimental to

Most people don't utilize a IDE when writing a document in LaTeX that has spell-check or grammar. So it's much, much easier to insert oddities unless you do good proofreading.

Chrome fires up a separate thread for each tab. So any information about that tab is lost once the tab, (and thus sandbox) closes. No information specific to the tabs is stored in the window unless explicitly done (like bookmarking). Thus,
