Journalistic integrity comes and goes. The Washington Post seemed like a beacon of truthfulness when Trump attacked the free press and they adopted the slogan “Democracy dies in darkness.” Recently they have forgone truthfulness in favor of “truthiness”. Their hypocrisy on fact-checking Sanders and the Times’ calling him “Other” when he was in the lead were very telling.

Journalists with corporate sponsors are just advertisers by another name.

This is the perfect example of cutting off one’s nose to spite the face.

All this bullshit about providing user experience is hilarious. You use the ad stack: Google AMP. This is an engineering cop-out.

There are no “good guy” companies. Stop electing obstructionists who have no interest in governing. Regulation is the only solution.

He’s lying. There is only one such comment and it is laughably obtuse. Influencing opinion without addressing the topic is exactly what Reddit is for.

Hopefully a mod can change the link.

Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. The media wanted a live, reality TV-style event and didn’t get it. Last night was supposed to be huge for ad revenue and now they’re out for blood. Imagine waiting patiently for conclusive results in every state. How are they supposed to run ads if people aren’t glued to the screen?

What’s bad for the 24-hour news cycle is good for Democracy.

No one in this thread is thinking. This is a thread for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.

You point out that Netflix has usage data as if you have access to that data. Some people like ten-hour reality TV binges and some people like thoughtful content. Netflix is just mirroring cable TV. Since Netflix uses product placement, especially in its age-targeted content, quantity of viewing time is more profitable than quality.

The topic is fascinating to think about and I was unaware that some people do not "hear" their thoughts or use an internal voice. But I got stuck on this amazing perfect storm of millennial blogger cliches. I thought it was a joke. After this I could not stop reading it as a parody. The word "literally" is used four times.

Nice FUD there.

Oh my god what if they're foreign? Isn't it terrifying to think about foreigners? Better take that fear into the voting booth with you.

I think that everyone who uses HN is aware of this project by now. You re-post this every day.

What software do you use for the kiosk? I have been thinking of doing this with Ubuntu Core using the Chromium snap and a custom website which it refreshes.

I still use the iPhone SE as a daily driver and there is an active second-hand market for them. I understand that it's spare tech but this could be done by an SoC board that costs less than $50. The iPhone, even a small one, has an expensive touch screen. You could probably sell an iPhone SE for at least $110, enough for a couple of Raspberry Pi 4 4GB systems. That's a cool project but it is a puzzling use of hardware.
