It seems that a mechanism to determine the "trustworthiness" of each method and thus weighting its individual influence in the vote would make sense. That way the system would weed out the models that produce incorrect results.
Then we feed the system a steady diet of Fox News and watch it downvote the lonely "liberal" model.
Man, this stuff makes me want to go back to school. Highly interesting.

I was thinking it would slow down just enough to get my feet on the ground, then decelerate hard. Obviously free fall to a dead stop would suck.
I want my high speed elevator to descend at a rate *just* fast enough to have me hovering six inches off the floor, which should be made of glass.
The evidence is getting quite compelling. But I guess some people cannot see what they do not want to see.
Look, if you think you have something and you want to be the messenger, by all means register a catchy domain name like Heartbleed (HatMunch?) and present your evidence of conspiracy in a straightforward, peer-reviewable way. I recommend staying away from Comic Sans when choosing a typeface.
It's a wild theory, but if you can present anything other than character assasination, cherry-picked facts and NSA O NOE, you might get listened to by people who matter. Until you do that, you're gonna get modded down, and rightfully so. It's put up or shut up time.
But I guess some people would rather vomit paranoia than actually put in the effort it takes to be heard.
How the fuck does this kind of trolling/tin-foil-hattery get to +5? The only "Interesting" thing about it is the apparent level of paranoia being experienced by gweihir. I mean, Red Hat as an NSA tool to Destroy Linux? Sure!
I get it, some folks hate systemd and everything Lennart does (and I'm not picking sides anymore), but the parent is just a smear job.
This. Seriously. People may not think that appearance is important, but it is. Comic Sans does not inspire confidence.
WEB HIPSTER DETECTED!
The trailer is a laugh.
One line in there: "We are the only life in the entire universe."
HAHAHAHA. Okay.
Hey! I got the karma for posting that link in the first article, you... you... karma whore!
This is a dupe. We saw this on slashdot weeks ago.
MOD. PARENT. UP.
As illustrated by this comedy sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Government organizations like the NSA are playing a long game. If one generation is desensitized, the next will be uncaring as long as basic needs and a sense of freedom are preserved.
They are winning, and even if we form long-lived organizations to fight them on their terms they will undermine until those organizations are publicly ridiculed and useless. Individuals who speak up will be tarred as "activists", "protestors", and later "traitors". They have the upper hand and there's no way to get it back without an actual war, which no one wants.
They are winning.
This began a long time ago. In two generations they will have won.

I think in my 20s I just didn't know how to recognize burnout. Combined with the usual invincibility complex and with an image as a caffeine-fueled wunderkind to uphold, I ended up burnout incarnate.
Now, when I feel unproductive for a several days running, I know I need to take a week or two and just do something else. I'm a better coder for it, and a better person too.
