They are either tabloids or broadsheets, the terms coming from the historical size of the physical newspaper.

Broadsheets are physically bigger, more text, typically more serious, aiming at a more sophisticated reader

Tabloids physically smaller, more salacious, aiming at the mass market

(Many broadsheets became smaller to save printing costs over time, but the categories still apply)

It still proves you’re giving the password right this moment, and that it hasn’t been popped from a DB.

On the other hand it doesn’t prove that someone has stolen your phone/laptop, defeated all of its own security, and then defeated the security of the password manager.

For my personal risk propensity, the former is worth having, the latter is too unlikely to worry about

Hmm, I don't see it on many of the sites I'm searching. Wikipedia entries I see it, but some legal and news ones I don't. I wonder if it's a new norobots/copyright thing

For many this is not wishing for cable again, rather going _back_ to pirating, which was itself better than cable.

Certainly myriad streaming services are better than cable- but are they better than pirating? Harder to be confident of that now than a few years ago

Altimeters are only pilot calibrated to ensure planes travelling in various directions can trust their vertical separation is constant even amid rising or dropping temperatures and pressures. In that context an altimeter that calibrates itself is quite undesirable

There is the radio-altimeter which uses ground based radar but that is for spoken-aloud altitude readouts and terrain warnings and as far as I’m aware doesn’t factor in Boeing or airbus autopilot.

At least in the U.K., the lingo has us refer to this always as height (ie, above the ground) and not altitude (within the air above a hypothetical sea level)

Bear in mind there are airports in the world at less than 0ft sea level. Very complicated to validate what a valid input actually is

Well, the autopilot was disabled, and the flight director (which at a 1 sentence level is a visual indication of what the autopilot would do) was trying to keep the plane level at the configured altitude

The flight director did the right thing — displayed how it would manage level flight

The pilot did the wrong thing - copied the misconfigured flight director instead of flying the plane

There is coverage in other national media https://news.sky.com/story/amazon-to-reject-customer-payment...

But additionally I use the +servicename trick on Amazon, and the email was delivered to me at jack+amazon@myemail. If it’s phishing it’s incredibly well done as it came from the source to the recipients used by the source

The DNS on my network is my router, but that has 1.1.1.1 as its upstream resolver, and private relay is working for me.

I wonder if this is an interaction with the way the cloudflare app sets up 1.1.1.1. - I guess as a VPN? — rather than a service incompatibility

Oh. I'm not defending labelling the link as fake news. And my post wasn't an argument in favour of this being ok. Just adding an example for the poster and any other readers who haven't seen the "context problem" first hand

This is the post I was referring to - it was this image (no text) and a link to the above article

https://i.imgur.com/8TEAXQW.png

I think another commenter's idea is reasonable - people are flagging false claims like this, and the link is being punished by association

I have seen this sentence of the link:

> CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses

Used to claim that many positive test results were not covid cases, but were flu cases.

This _isn’t_ the case — the CDC is now recommending tests that can check for multiple infections rather than just one.

But the wording does leave it open to being a possibility, on first reading that may even be a sensible assumption.

So the problem is complicated —

1) this is an official and authoritative source posting wording that’s explaining what’s changing with ambiguity about what the status quo is.

2) Amid that ambiguity, people are posting information that is not true, using this as a source.

3) Facebook’s response is the “Fake News” label, when while the source has its faults it is not Fake or News, it’s just having meaning attributed to it that’s not there

Your comment confused me, the article says the kid in the U.K. called the local police department so until I read this I assumed they googled the local number and dialled the police directly internationally, not going through 911. But it sounds like that would have got them 911? Here it would just get you the guy at the front desk in that station.

I am surprised if it’s possible for someone in the U.K. to call 911 and get “911 stateside” and not redirected to 999 in the U.K.?

I thought according to the crossover theory the virus was not theorised to have crossed from animal to person in the wet market, but was in humans already at that point and that was just the first “superspreader” site

There’s also 2 native apps - if you install from the App Store, you don’t get all the same OTP features as an install from the website download

Great without it. The major improvement I noticed with it, is 802.11k & v (faster handoff).

Without those, it takes a little longer for the device to switch APs at the borders of their coverage. Mostly imperceptible, but the longer handoff times can be enough to kill a phone call over iPhone WiFi calling

It’s very common for BBC headlines to change 3-5 times after being posted. I don’t know whether they are A-B testing or just twitchy, but it’s annoying for sharing new articles

And another point that cements this was the Reddit “china_flu” subreddit’s creation in December 2019, when word was spreading outside China that _something_ was spreading, probably flu, and nobody knew what

Wouldn't want anyone tapping them! (maybe I am too cynical)

In the Oxford trial, participants take weekly PCR swabs (https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200721-coronavirus-vacc...)

This was posited (but has not been confirmed) as one of the reasons it was posting lower numbers - it was catching some asymptomatic cases

If it makes you feel any better, their attempt at redaction was poor and the whole text is present in the bookmarks of the PDF:

Bear in mind, lethality of weapons like these has been based on measuring the mortality _without_ treatment, and all who survived received prompt treatment.

Unfortunately Charley Rowley, who unwittingly discovered the container used by the Skripal’s poisoners, was not treated so promptly and later died

This comment is something I have wondered:

> It's clear that the variant is more dominant (1.2x) in children aged 0-9 yrs and 0-19 yrs. There could be many reasons for this - including transmission dynamics - due to high levels of unmitigated transmission in schools during lockdown - which has favoured the variant.

In keeping schools open, I wonder if we have inadvertently nudged natural selection to reward a strain that spreads more effectively in children
