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.

Locks are only held during system calls. Process termination is handled on the system call boundary.

You're projecting windows kernel insanity where it doesn't belong.

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.

Considering that Hamas are holding bodies and hostages and demanding an end to the war in exchange for releasing the hostages, changes to that situation are quite relevant.

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.

Does that mean the engagement band is just a semiring?

They are less pro-Hamas or even pro-Palestinian so much as they are just anti-Israel.

Do you think someone suffering from PTSD will be able to fulfill their duties as President?
