A trustworthiness / fact-checking service should be done by algorithms; FOSS algorithms that can be argued about and validated for neutrality by anyone.

Warning: Shawyer may well be brilliant, but he is the Anti-Musk in terms of his presenting and motivational skills. This guy could seriously announce a working warp drive in a way that would make people walk out of the presentation half way through. If he has funding problems, he needs to get someone else to present his technology and business case for him.
So you're that only guy who has worked for all of:
large US insurance firms (25th largest one in the world last time around), State Street Bank, State Street Global Investors, Santander Bank, Digital Equipment Corp*, Wang Labs*, Data General*, IBM, Google, Parametric Technology Corp,
Harvey, don't call yourself a nerd. You can't learn and think very well. Anyone capable of objective in-depth research and rational analysis would not reach the conclusions you just did there. You are not a nerd, or a geek. Consider that you might just have bad fashion sense.
And looking at issues like deforestation, species extinction, and fresh-water pollution, it is overwhelmingly the transnational corporations originating in the developed countries and supplying the developed countries which have had the largest destructive effects cumulatively, and are continuing to do so. I don't have time to source all of that for you, but you can look it up for yourself.
You need to understand that just because, say, we've cleaned up the litter on our city streets better, and that we TALK about environmental issues more than the rest of the world, does not mean we are doing better than them on the serious global environmental destruction factors. We are still doing way worse, especially if you rate it on a per person basis. Way way worse. Orders of magnitude worse.
Ummm a helium "fuelling" leak in the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket most likely caused the latest launchpad "mishap".
There's a compressed helium tank inside the LOX tank. Not sure but my guess is the helium is let out to maintain pressure in the LOX tank as the oxygen is used up in combustion.
of them, to account for the rather high probability of launch failure.
With an engineering project that long, 3 copies should have cost pretty close to the cost of one of them, since the whole project was probabl 90% labour costs.
I for one would be right pissed if my 20 years of work went kaboom because of a helium fuelling mishap.
Just replace the battery percentage value, if that's what the API was returning with an BatteryIsLow() boolean, which could be set at something arbitrary, like 30%.
This way, the valid use cases, like control of video serving or "intensity", could still work, but the privacy concern would be gone. You can't effectively track someone in general just by knowing the times when they transition around 30%. That would be too rare to be a useful tracking data point.
Seriously though, the most important thing I've meta-learned is to exercise a lot of judgement about which new things to BOTHER to learn.
90% of the new stuff will be flash-in-the-pan. Some small residue of new stuff will actually stick and be important. (How's my metaphoring? 1-800-WRI-TEGD)
So learning the sixth-sense cues about what is going to matter is vital. So knowing you should probably learn Go, containers,... and not bother with for example the 95% of weird-ass js client-side frameworks which just cause an unmaintainable fur-ball.It's good to look at those things, just in case there's a mind-blowingly important new idea there, but you have to know when to quickly look away.
I had an ADHD non-technical boss in his tiny startup. He used to come in and interrupt and actively redirect us developers (on to a different most inportant development priority) an average of 4 times a day... When he wasn't fake-guffawing his way through endless sales calls well within audible range.
It got so frustrating (I wasn't in financial position to just up and quit) that I started programming my own e-business idea on my 12" laptop sitting in the back seat of the bus for half an hour on the way to work every morning and back again after work. I swear to you I got more productive development done in that environment for that hour than the entire rest of the day, despite the multi-monitor setup at work.
Working for that focussed twenty minutes to half-hour at a time, you were forced to define a bite-sized chunk of task and laser focus on it. Could pop in and out of screen overview to switch contexts, and just laser in on one context at a time. And you would be still working on the logical completion / follow-on of that task in the end-of-day commute, and the next day commute. Couldn't do the same at work, because the timing of the next total redirection was unpredictable.
Big screen real estate is convenient when you have it, but you can also get more organized about your 2-click screen context change on a small laptop, and there are way more important factors for development productivity, in my experience.
It seems the bank officials, or the reporters, don't understand the difference between copying information, and deleting information.
It was considered a major incident "because the devices containing the information are not recoverable and more than 10,000 records were removed"
The original records in the bank servers were almost certainly not "removed". That's not what happens when you copy something to a thumb drive.
The fact that the devices containing the information are not recoverable is also PROBABLY good news, in that they were probably misplaced in the person's residence or trashed. In either case, the sensitive data is probably not usable in the wild, so that would count as possible good news, not probable bad news.
Stealing information does not deprive the original owner of the information, get it straight.
It only deprives the original owner of exclusive access to the information.
What is then important is what becomes of the unauthorized copy of the info. Is it all over the public internet, or sold to spies/criminals, or not. If not, then no biggie.
Because I figured that I could actually get time to get some work done, because I wouldn't need millions in equipment, just a few computers.
Then I realized that you're expected to be a "small business owner" funding a posse of grad students, and I imagine if you didn't keep grinding the grant mill for that, you'd be forced out through all kinds of nasty subtle tricks that academic departments have to force people out these days, whether it's denying tenure track or doing a negative performance review process even after tenure.
It would just be no fun at all, in this day and age, so I went a different path.
So if my research proves that the universe inflated rapidly after a big bang, who exactly am I going to sell that astounding new advance in knowledge to?
Actually the drivers are the owner class; they are the owners of their vehicles, and Uber provides a service to them. The Uber programmers labor to provide this service, fixing bugs at all hours of the night.
"It's easy to hack something together to show someone for VC money"
No you moron it isn't easy. You have to come up with the idea first. You know, the one that is going to catch on like wildfire unlike all the other lame ones. Yeah. Incredibly easy.
The rest is just good execution, which is a routine set of well known procedures and some mildly inspiring leadership.
Allow Internet voting, with the following modification.
Authenticated voter can vote any number of times over a period of one month. Only a hash of their identity is stored with each ballot.
Authenticated voter can come back to the system at any time during the month, and either vote again, or select which ballot, by date and time submitted they wish to be counted as their real vote. If they don't specify, then either their first vote, or their last vote is counted, depending on a setting they can secretly pre-set before the election.
So the vote buyer or asshole husband has no way of knowing which vote of the person was counted, short of imprisoning them for the whole month. People who get imprisoned for a month to control their vote have much bigger problems than the right to vote freely. They need to escape and contact the police.

Here's a link to the NASA paper on the apparently successful test: https://drive.google.com/file/...
And here is a presentation by the technology's inventor, Roger Shawyer https://vimeo.com/channels/Emd...

Of battery fires on different smartphone brands, as a percentage of units sold?
Pretty sure the odd one of any kind ends up with a smoking Li-ion battery.
Is Samsung being unfairly further beat up here because of the laser of media attention on it now?
What do the objective facts say.
I'm genuinely interested cause have a Note 5 in my pocket right now.
He means better at compensating for a lack of masculinity.

That's a very nice intelligence fingerprint.
We know who you are.
An awful lot of illegal things, including hate speech, and hateful images, have been written on, drawn on, or printed on paper.
Equally valid t blaming facebook for user content. Equally ridiculous.
Harvey, don't call yourself a nerd. You can't learn and think very well. Anyone capable of objective in-depth research and rational analysis would not reach the conclusions you just did there. You are not a nerd, or a geek. Consider that you might just have bad fashion sense.
You're obviously living like an ostrich with its head in the sand, not like a pheasant.
What kind of damage has the developed world done and continues to do?
Well, looking at greenhouse gas emissions:

Fixed that for you.
Uber ... don't own the vehicles, maintain the vehicles, fuel the vehicles or have garages for them.
Hmmm. Sounds almost like they're just contracting with an independent car owner and offering a match-making co-ordination app to them for a fee.

Seriously, this study is skewed. It only covers people who would consent to walk down the street wearing google glass.
