#62The best part is the photo credit: >> The woman said to resemble pilot Amelia Earhart is seen sitting on the dock in the centre of the picture. Photograph: Reuters So Reuters is falsely taking credit for a photo when they didn't know its origin. Journalistic integrity is long dead.
Isn't that the Guardian misassigning credit to Reuters?

Computer science at least in my experience of it, definitely involves lots of science. I can't speak for the others.
In which way - interested - does it involve science or what is your definition of science?
Not OP, but maths, maths again, and still more maths.
Type systems, algorithm proof, complexity, boolean logic...
And if we go into CS applications: games are maths, bioinformatics is maths, accounting is maths, ...
Or in the implementation: electronics, semi-conductors physic, eletrical engineering, ...

They also went full on Jesus some years back. They're firmly in the blue collar reality TV camp now, its mostly truck drivers, pawn shops, and surprisingly, blacksmiths. Sorta like how the Sci Fi channel was all about pro wrestling, fantasy, action movies, pretty much anything but science fiction. When I was a little kid (a long time ago) the snarky wisdom was if a country had "democratic" in its name, it wasn't. The…
Syfy recently started broadcasting excellent programming: The Expanse, KillJoys, DarkMatter...etc.
They go through quality boom-and-bust cycles. They had an excellent shared universe of Warehouse 13 and Eureka a number of years ago.

#65Another nifty example of how search engines and digitization are improving research. How would anyone have ever discovered that one super-obscure Japanese travel book happened to include one old black-white photo? This reminds me of another Japanese-related example of search-engine-driven historical research, the castaway Australian sailors: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/may/28/austr... Or more lite…
Indeed. Moving to the opposite direction though I wonder when will we discover the first pseudo-historical artifacts generated by AI (speeches, art, photos, and even videos). This is the greatest weapon ever, the ministry of truth would never dream of something like this!
Not on mobile anymore, some examples:
- https://github.com/junyanz/CycleGAN (drawings to photorealistic images and perhaps videos)
- https://lyrebird.ai/demo (inflamatory or incriminatory speeches)
- https://deepart.io/ (forgotten works of art)

#66Is this suggesting that the same TV network which airs a show called "ANCIENT ALIENS" would have some completely inaccurate and poorly researched easily debunked claim on one of their TV shows?
What's next? Is some blogger going to reveal to the world that Seinfeld and Star Trek aren't real too??
Re: Blogger discredits claim Amelia Earhart was taken prisoner by Japan
#67No one ever wants to remember that a couple years after she disappeared, pieces of a plane just like hers were found on an island a few 10's of miles short of her next stop. At the same spot the skeletal remains of a man and a woman were found with personal effects known to be hers. Someone (probably the family) wanted to keep that 'mystery' going with what was probably denial at first but became their own cash cow later.

#68I thought the History Channel was already widely considered non-factual. Aren't half the documentaries about space aliens? "Source": http://www.cracked.com/funny-5720-the-history-channel/
And the rest are mostly about Hitler, Hitlers dog, Hitlers secretary, Hitlers lunch.
At least it was interesting when it was the "Hitler Channel" now it seems to be mostly pseudo-science and quasi-reality TV - like National Enquirer on the air.

I hadn't heard that. Do you have any references?

On the contrary, this means that the episode of Voyager where Amelia Earhart was revealed to be transported to the Delta Quadrant can still happen.
