  • This is a mentally ill person who was driven to an extreme and felt there was nothing better to do than take his own life.

    There is no message that should be said other than to urge anyone who is feeling similar distress needs to know that there are people who love them and no matter what there is always a better alternative.

    By condoning it for political purposes you give an out for the mentally ill to commit "legitimate" suicide, or worse to being manipulated into doing so. This is not a slippert slope, it is a hard line that many in these comments have crossed - which is why it needs to be said that there is a better path and there are resources.

  • If you feel so strongly about it - do it. The likelihood of you being killed is pretty low compared to the amount of people you'd actually help by helping distribute food, etc. If it's too far away, then you can always start small - volunteer at your local food pantry, soup kitchen, etc.

  • Because it apparently needs to be said:

    There are always better options than taking your own life

    If you are in crisis, please talk to someone who can help - if you don't feel comfortable talking with close friends or family - you can either call 988 in the United States or Canada, or find a relevant local resource via IASP

  • Headlines are sampled randomly for the first few hours of an article going live to measure exposure. The headline that gets the most clicks wins.

    There are a lot of sites that do this.

    It causes headaches when it comes to social. Usually the original headline is preserved in the url, but sometimes they'll use a unique id and then include the editorialized headline option so they can track which headline you clicked on.

    Also editorial decisions on wording based on pushback, legal threats, etc.

  • What the duck Microsoft bullshit is this?

    There is no concept of locked files in extfs, much less inside the kernel. Resource locks and unkillable processes is some windows bullshit that no sane operating system would touch with a ten foot pole.

  • That's...actually not a bad idea. Take the user-domain name pairs and weigh the edges between domains by the number of unique users who posted from both domains.

    For producing clusters from the resulting graph should be easy, but aside from just saying "these are similar websites" does it really say much?

    You could do something similar with comment/upvote/downvote based linkages - maybe they'll have some deeper semantic meaning

  • No need to wait. Here's their statement: https://www.anera.org/press/anera-convoy-attacked-en-route-to-emirati-red-crescent-hospital-four-killed/

    No Anera staff were harmed, though one Anera employee, who was in the second vehicle, witnessed the incident at close range.

    Despite this attack, the remainder of the convoy continued its mission and successfully delivered the critical aid to the hospital. Anera has coordinated with the United Arab Emirates 24 prior shipments for the Emirati Red Crescent Hospital since May.

  • I don't see an easy way to accomplish this without either pulling in the full text of every article over some period and running something like paragraph/doc/site vectors and then clustering by site vector.

    That's putting a lot of faith into unsupervised learning, and it's probably just as likely to pick up on stylistic conventions like byline and date formats as it is to cluster by some common thematic pattern like political leaning.

  • I thought of something: does this count as him having played a single game that is both a loss and a win? Or as playing in two games?

    Some poor soul is going to try to do data validation and figure out that the number of wins plus the number of losses does not equal the number of games played, and it's 100% legit.

  • Are you communist left? Or socialist left? Or cryptoanarchist left?

    Are you republican right? Or fascist right? Or tankie right? Or cryptocapitalist right?

    If it's off by one (center left instead of center, mixed instead of high) then just chill. It's close enough. The point is to highlight the extremes, especially for when someone went headline shopping and posted some relatively unknown source.
