Microsoft is well aware that things can be spoofed, and has a very talented threat intelligence organization that would not make this claim without substantial proof.

This includes things like encryption keys and other non-public identifiers. Should those items be made public, the adversary they are combatting would then roll those indicators and leave Microsoft blind. This isn't unique to Microsoft either, most security / threat intelligence companies have their own swath of private signatures.

The sites reporting on this are aware of that issue (non-public signatures) and as such do not need to offer a disclaimer. Microsoft is the one making the claim and they have the reputation to back it up. Unless there are solid reasons to question Microsoft's work there is no need to include your unlikely scenario.
> I'm not suggesting we should rely on the study to prove moral plasticity. I'm suggesting that evidence of moral plasticity is all around us, and it is a shame that the flaws of this one study (that has become associated with it in the public consciousness) seem to be used to refute moral plasticity.

You're absolutely, completely, 100% right. It's an utter travesty that the flaws of this study are used to refute the notion of moral plasticity.

With that said, is it perhaps possible that we see moral plasticity everywhere because we have been taught that it is a thing we can expect to see everywhere? We may be caught in a self-fulfilling prophecy. On the basis of a single flawed study, we know exactly nothing except that Zimbardo was dishonest.

Wiser heads than mine might be well-advised to throw out any notions on the subject whatsoever and begin anew.

I had crippling panic attacks for almost 10 years, doctors, drugs, nothing helped, I quit one job before I got fired due to poor performance because of my panic attacks.

High doses of L-Ascorbic acid eliminated my panic attacks. I slowly worked up to 60mg per KG of bodyweight. I weighed 250 (113kg) works out to ~7 grams per day. I slowly worked up to 2g before breakfast, 3g before lunch, and 2g before dinner. Once I started taking 4g per day the attacks lessened, and when I hit 6 they went away for good.

L-Ascorbic acid is an anti-stressor hormone in animals, humans have a mutation that prevents us from making it in our livers.

DEPORTATIONS, TRANSFERS, EVACUATIONS
ARTICLE 49

Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive.

Nevertheless, the Occupying Power may undertake total or partial evacuation of a given area if the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand. Such evacuations may not involve the displacement of protected persons outside the bounds of the occupied territory except when for material reasons it is impossible to avoid such displacement. Persons thus evacuated shall be transferred back to their homes as soon as hostilities in the area in question have ceased.

The Occupying Power undertaking such transfers or evacuations shall ensure, to the greatest practicable extent, that proper accommodation is provided to receive the protected persons, that the removals are effected in satisfactory conditions of hygiene, health, safety and nutrition, and that members of the same family are not separated.

The Protecting Power shall be informed of any transfers and evacuations as soon as they have taken place.
The Occupying Power shall not detain protected persons in an area particularly exposed to the dangers of war unless the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand.

The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.
not really. each rework is the equivalent of a branching prediction failure in a very very long cpu pipeline.

all tasks are massively parallelized in a production line. to reach 5000 car month tesla need to crank a car every seven minutes.

now imagine a production line that pump a car out every seven minutes and you need 37 minutes manual labor for each of them

the inefficence doesn't look so minor. it's also a logisticsl nightmare, just imagine parking all those cars while the rework stations free up.

This is a great article and I highly respect his opinions.

However, since you are probably eagerly reading this to see how fast the new RTX cards are, so you should know upfront that the numbers he has so far are just estimates based on specs:

> Note that the numbers for the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti should be taken with a grain of salt since no hard performance numbers existed. I estimated performance according to a roofline model of matrix multiplication and convolution under this hardware together with Tensor Core benchmarks from the V100 and Titan V.

You can actually go right outside that sports stadium and still have your message heard. If you're banned from Twitter, FB, and YT; you have effectively no voice on the internet.

The social media companies that have monopolized public discourse on the internet would be more akin to the whole city being owned by the stadium owners, and that specific scenario has been ruled in favor of the first amendment in the past.

That’s basically because ISPs are a semi-natural mononpoly without competition there is really no incentive to do better. Heck Comcast acts like a monopoly in my area and they are competing with AT&T who offers better service - 1Gbps up and down [1] vs 1Gbps/35Mbps Comcast, at a lower price and Google Fiber in some parts of town.

[1] I’ve got to give a shout out to AT&T and BackBlaze, I just changed my Plex Server over to a new computer and my entire 1.7TB collection was uploaded in less than 3 days. I was getting speeds between 500GB per day and 1Tb+ a day.
> Obviously, that's either factual or it’s not.

Sure, but unless people actually work at PP or carry out their own individual on-site investigation, their knowledge of the fact is going to be based on what third-party sources they trust (including those acting as fact checkers), which is tightly correlated with viewpoint.

> Facebook users had the ability to vote on whether the story is true of false, they would vote based on personal beliefs, not on what they would find by fact-checking the story.

They'd probably vote based on their beliefs about the facts, which would often include checking with sources they trust on facts. Of course, those beliefs—and where fact checking is involved, the set of trusted sources—will be strongly correlated with their beliefs about abortion.

The ivory tower ideal of a clean separation between how people address fact claims and the value system in which they give significance to facts, where you could then isolate which process was involved in a decision excluding the other, is, while convenient, not at all a reflection of reality.

This sounds really cool, and it's exciting to see Elm come along!

I always feel like Bucklescript and the Ocaml ecosystem doesn't get enough love when Elm crops up. Bucklescript has been doing aggressive dead code elimination for some time, and comes with the full type system of ocaml — plus easy JS interop: https://github.com/BuckleScript/bucklescript/wiki/Why-buckle....

As Elm develops I'm finding it harder and harder to choose between bucklescript/ocaml/reason and Elm. It's awesome to have all of these modern tools to work with on the frontend.

Do you know how long it takes to build an entire vehicle? If its 60 hours, then 37 minutes probably isn't breaking, but if its 8 hours, then that 37 minutes is 7.5% of a vehicle's construction time. If Tesla is wasting 7.5% of its time fixing defects, its running at at least 7.5% less than peak efficiency, and if margins are less than 7.5%, that does indeed mean that the vehicles are being produced at a loss.

A great way to turn a listing you can trust enough to use as one of your comparison basis, into a listing made up of imaginary marketing numbers.

I guess the click baiting is needed / the best option, but I hate that's it's what most web resources are like now.
Learning everything from scratch is a big ask not everybody is willing to jump for. Some users might feel intimidated by the amount of things to learn before they can become productive.

If that gets new users in, make them comfortable until they outgrow the setup then it's a good thing.
$200K a year is shit though. Just because somebody can get to that level doesn't mean they're going to tell you anything useful for getting to $500,000,000 / year. That's why I say it is a signal, but it's a very weak signal.

There's also the problem that you don't know the value of the hypothetical "person who hasn't gotten to $15K MRR" yet. If they started their company 2 weeks ago, they probably have an MRR of $0. Does that mean that they have nothing of value to tell you? That depends on a lot of other variables.

Anyway, you're probably right... we probably just have fundamentally differing world-views. I lean towards the "you can learn something for everybody" mindset, and try to late-bind judgment on people's value as advisers until the last possible moment.
"I hope that China does keep growing enough to provide all of it's citizens with a quality life"

I would agree if it weren't for the ideology that would come with it. My dream scenario is that their government's corruption will increase until it collapses like the Soviet Union, leaving behind a society that's actually much better equipped than the soviets to hit the ground running in a liberal democracy (given the country's partial embrace of capitalism), and then they'll grow enough to provide all their citizens with a quality life. But that series of events seems unlikely.

A minority of the people won. Let's be clear there. Due to the House being capped, the GOP can hold 55.2% of the seats with 49.9% of the votes. Talking purely votes, not population.

And that's even ignoring the snarky comment about the people that voted the current majority in being from the less economically useful areas.
Sorry I really wasn't trying to be a dick here. The original post asked whether one party could sue instead of being responsible. It is possible that this is why my post seems childish.

The point I was trying to make was about conflating the damages being sought in a lawsuit by one party and the actual damages owed by other other in a lawsuit. I think it is pretty common practice for the plaintiff pick a high number out of somewhat thin air to prevent themselves from pricing themselves from leaving money on the table.
Continuous Discussions Podcast, Episode 90: Gene Kim and DOES’18 Speakers
I was assuming communications would be private. Debt collection has a deservedly bad reputation, but I think any public communication would quickly become legally problematic. It seems like bad idea both ethically and practically if messages weren't private.
Electricity, water, cable, and phone are all "natural" monopolies because of the significant amount of infrastructure they require. Having private companies lay their own competing water mains would be an absolute clusterfuck.

Facebook is, at the end of the day, a website that happens to be popular right now. It's not even close to being a public utility. Anybody can enter the space and create a competing service. Given how fickle consumers are, I'll be surprised if it's still around in 10 years.

From an academic standpoint, this is all interesting.

From a pragmatic standpoint, they made a thing. And it sounds like the theory they based it on is not as sound as they thought. But they MADE the thing.

Rather than implying that the devices themselves are fictional.
People react when they face an issue that affects them. Tone policing like this says nothing but that you value the appearance of civility more than you do the harm people are complaining about. This is a fairly trivial example. But this is the same mentality that goes into telling NFL players not to kneel, so it's worth calling out.

When you focus on style instead of substance you draw attention away from the core of an issue. It's an effective tactic when it's what you want to do, but anyone who wants to use it should stop and think about why they want to obscure the point instead of addressing it directly. If it's because you don't have a valid objection, perhaps you don't have a stake in the discussion and you should think twice about entering it. Digressions that address the civility of the participants always serve to defend the status quo. Is it a status quo worth defending?
It seems to me that it would be "lawfare" either way -- either the states would sue the Federal government or the Federal government would sue the states.
Perhaps, but on platforms like twitter where the default behavior is to only allow direct messages to mutual followers, I imagine they might use an @mention which is publicly visible - like "@newman8r - please get in contact with us, we need to discuss your car payment" - and they offer to delete the tweet after payment or something.... I guess that would be the worst case scenario. If it's just private messaging then it's not as big of a deal.
Additionally, what someone considers positive, someone else may consider negative. If I attend an anti-gun rally, who gets to decide if that makes me gain, or lose points?

That poster is the definition of "gambling loser"

I have no doubt he would have spent/lost the money on other things regardless.

Juicy quote:

"As of today, over the past 7 months I have lost a total of $410,000. The inheritance was supposed to be split between my younger sister and I, giving us each $375,00 + half of the house (not worth much, rural area, etc)."

So if he just held for 4 more years... he would have turned their investment of 500k (even with 200k losses down from 700k) around to about 5 million dollars today.
