Every social media platform is manipulated by it's owners and elites. There's no way to get around it, not when your KPIs are user engagement and advertising dollars. Twitter has become a particularly nasty version of…
This is the only comment you made so far that made sense, with clear assertions and references. Everything else was unfounded or inflammatory without any concrete assertion, which is why it vibed like "Fox News talking…
It seems likely that theoretical work would still be done on battleships, after we stopped using them in the real world.
Fraud sucks and is ever evolving. Everyone gets hit in increasingly elaborate scams, and companies with degrading services makes it easier. Some things I'm surprised weren't in the article, given that the author…
Not a big fan of Heidt. Way too much political, unsubstantiated and handwavy rhetoric from him. And his track record has been entirely unconvincing. The only reasonable way I can interpret his work is that of a…
I think the answer is that ECS isn't supposed to solve those problems directly. It's just a framework that makes a certain class of problems very easy to solve. But big picture complexity is still up to the developer's…
A corrupt Spanish organization, trying to support a corrupt Korean organization, only brings more credence to the argument that SPNP was a bad idea.
I'm not really into Twitter, so I'm guessing there's some drama you are referencing that is topical. But, I'm not talking about any society wide issue or philosophical treatise about trust and breakdowns in…
Music from the hit 1993 video game Doom. The first level's theme. In case you weren't joking. It was quite the popular game.
The only reason why this travesty persists is because Putin still holds the world hostage with Russia's nuclear arsenal. The only future for the world lies in cooperation, peace, and prosperity. Not this campaign of…
Freedom of Association: An individual's right to join or leave groups voluntarily, the right of the group to take collective action to pursue the interests of its members, and the right of an association to accept or…
The original report only analyzes successful exonerations. There are many times more cases out there of false convictions, victims who have not seen the light of day. Those without exculpatory evidence have basically no…
"Plagiarism detection software" can most certainly be misused and abused - it's quite a slippery slope, difficult to administer fairly, and likely to create unwarranted chilling effects. The author was almost certainly…
The title of this submission should be changed to reflect the content of the paper - it neither talks about gaming in general, nor does it imply that video game achievement is false. To clarify, this study focuses…
Does that not suggest that CEOs are worth their cost to the vast majority of companies that retain them? What companies operate without a de facto CEO?
Maybe OP meant to be... ironical. If we're being that charitable.
I have no answer for the rest of the article, but I've been poking around school administrations for quite a while now. One of the problems with public school administrators and teachers is that staff are relatively…
I wonder if there's an underlying reason for the Fox news benchmark being the fastest. If page load time is largely determined by quality/quantity of ads, is Fox News serving the "best" ads to make their website faster?…
The 9 page Republican tax plan draft is pretty awful. Not just awful in the sense that Trump promised that it didn't benefit rich people, which it does ("It's not good for me, believe me"). The elimination of the estate…
I won't comment on Snowden since there are significant efforts to continue his cause, and his whistleblowing is one part of a backlash against the overreach of US government surveillance. The cellphone meta data issue…
I won't pretend to intimately understand the Chinese sociopolitical atmosphere, but it's clear to me that China wants to establish some form of international hegemony. This isn't an initiative focused on improving the…
I won't dispute this - the private sector is composed of people just as the government is, and their attachment of sensitive data to vulnerable identifying information is just as abhorrent and many times more dangerous…
WeChat is the replacement for WhatsApp, fully compliant with Chinese censorship controls. What's mildly disturbing is that many Chinese Americans, both American citizens and not, living in the US use WeChat. They use it…
Thank you for the reply, but these are refugees crossing into Canada. Not American citizens entering the United States. I don't see thousands of results either. A quick google search revealed absolutely nothing fruitful…
Actually they are cheap - the reason why a significant amount of on chip resources can be assembled into the IME on all of Intel's chipsets is because IC process technology has advanced by many orders of magnitude. The…
