Which is ridiculous. If Democracy Now or ProPublica take great pains to get all their facts right (which they do), and the New York Post regularly outright makes shit up, they're marked as equally reliable based on that metric, because they're supposedly an equal distance away from the centre.

And 3., the blurb it posts is gigantic compared to what you'd actually want to know.

Also 4. The media bias website has its own bias in that centre right outlets like CNN are classified as left.

Not really, unless I wanted to know more about a specific part of it, like an explanation for a scene or the screen writer or wherever, and then I'd Google with keywords specific for that, not just the movie name. If I'm just searching a movie name it would probably be too know whether stuff Google throws up on top of their results, to be fair to them.

You'd think that if you knew the answer to the poll question, you wouldn't have Googled the title of the movie. I just don't understand the thought process that led to this happening.

I don't know, seems like being owned by Google would be worse. They kill stuff left and right.

You were also supposed to be able to hit your target.

I guess that's fair, yeah

He changed the algorithm to boost far right trolls, and he gets tricked by it himself, repeatedly sharing obviously fake stories from obscure accounts.

Yeah, I don't own anything that can play optical media. When downloading MP3s became a thing I just stopped using CDs.

Eh, I can see why you'd want something like that in a language like JavaScript where pretty much all native ways of validating input have weird edge cases. Sometimes you just want the community to figure it out for you instead of reinventing the wheel and finding out you missed something later on.

A whole package that handles validation of inputs, or a math package would be better than a package that just has one function tho.
