Anyone writing opioid epidemics only happen in the US is either poorly informed or is intellectually dishonest. I assume the second here, since this reads like contemporary agitprop.
While I like the friendly notification/explanation, any tool targeting fake news should do a little better in establishing its own credibility. You want to persuade, not block. I'm not sure the dollar amount is enough. We see it in these very comments: show the user a sample of obvious falsehoods they published. This way you could probably come up with a threshold where you just give up.
Their motivations are irrelevant. Proving politicians are hypocrites is easier than finding metaphors in the bible. Their releases have undeniably been assimilated by one candidate using WL's credibility and flavor of scandal. WL went along with it.
"Troves" don't have signatures. Omissions and context matter. See the ICIJ approach.
Hard not to get angry about a comment like yours. The WWW did have a founding philosophy, one that was as close as you can get to "open web" without having lived through the ad industry takeover.
Edit: Does someone actually need to point out what Tim Berners-Lee has been talking about for some years now? Or where the original "stack" comes from? Are we all either SV fodder or Stallmans now?
In fact it is a very hard engineering problem, which doesn't exclude a "philosophical" one. There's a line of research surrounding anthropomimetic robots with the specific task of studying cognition, going back at least a decade.
Fun fact that might pique one's interest: the fasces, which is still widely used to symbolize strength through unity, is believed to be of Etruscan origin.
I absolutely agree. It's ironic that we move to the places we fall in love with, only to modify them to our own needs. But this is the history of cities. It should always be up to local communities to accept or reject us. In a way, you can measure the strength of local culture by how it assimilates outsiders. Conversely, you can probably gauge the strength of an outside culture by how resistant it is to local assimilation. Of course, purchasing power speaks many languages.
Because they're very different things. But even if they weren't, it's not really a useful question - assuming the desired result is to reduce gun violence. See above comment again:
"Because it's its own category of violence. Like any other category, it's not a matter of 'deserving', but rather just a statistic category so we can discuss and analyze it."
There's no use in blotting out meaning. You can get more precision and (as he does) make a point as to the inadequacy of a concept - by establishing degrees. It's been done for ages in philosophy.

These seem unusual because of the assumption that these were exclusively nomad lands. Take that away and agriculture/irrigation/livestock of some kind seems a lot more likely and a lot less mysterious. There is no information about contemporary techniques in the area either.
While I'm curious about these, there are some clear red flags of cultural superimposition in the original research.
I wish they'd list the coordinates. I think I found some formations, searching for the "swastika" near Urpek village. In the upper left corner there is a bunch of green dots similar in size to the ones in the square, etc. They look like gardens.
How about:
1. turnover?
2. materials toxicity?
3. living conditions?
4. any way to enforce that what you see as fair practices stays that way once you scale way up?
The practical difference is that heavily marketing in this area can be a good thing for privacy. The more it becomes a "core value", the bigger the backlash from having failed at it publicly. It's a start.
Edit: To clarify, I agree with you that at present there are no practical differences.
Re: "claiming that things that compute are somehow categorically different is an appeal to magical thinking" - This is not the case. The distinction that's being made is one of perspective and purpose, i.e. implementing method to get result. Or am I getting this wrong?
The bit about tradition is true. Some of the worst pizza I've had was in italy, right next door to the best pizza I've ever had. Once made the mistake of telling this to an Italian.
