Flynn (security advisor for a couple of day) -- was setup.
There was no collusion with Russia to change 2016 election outcomes, that Flynn was accused of.

"... made materially false statements and
omissions during an interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") on January 24,
2017, in Washington, D.C. "

that's not collusion.

Roger Stone did not have his day in court, and the allegation were are not about directing Foreign powers to do anything.

Certainly hiring a foreign agent to write a document to be used trigger for FBI to initiate opposition party surveillances (like Clinton orchestrated) -- would have been a worthy avenue for Mueller to pursue, if he was about justice

The other indictments had nothing to do with 2016 election and happened for offenses outside 2016 election activities.

In general, my definition of deep state is:

a shadow government (consisting of elected officials and hired bureaucrats), that performs illegal activities, but blames opposition exact same things they are guilty of.

Whether it is collusion with foreign powers to orchestrate a coup, or abuse of women, or anti-Semitism, or racism, launder money through charities, or get bribes for political favors.

The fact that left-wing media had zero interest in investigative reporting of the deep state, and the true collusions with foreign powers to orchestrate coup in this country --- in an indication of their actual profession (paid propagandists).
Shameless plug but maybe https://www.shoperb.com may be interesting. I'm the founder of the company, if there's anything I can help with, just let me know.

We're quite flexible when it comes to feature development and listen closely what our customers need. We work well with various credit card gateways, etc. We can do quite a bit of custom development as well based on your specific requirements.
Is there anything specific you disagree about it?
Actually I think the best is Hans Zimmer's music in Modern Warfare 2.
What I'm saying is there's probably no reasonable way, given the current state of the art, to create an equivalent product in a more repairable form. The comparison to k-cups seems overblown, as a person throws away a couple of those a day, whereas AirPods are quality devices (of a similar size) that will last years at the minimum.
Not to mention, they look like shit, cookie cutter shit.
As someone with firsthand experience in this space, it’s hard to get buy-in even in research world for neuroprotective agents. First, this word neuroprotective gets thrown around a lot. Lots of complex efficacy endpoints. Lots of biases about safety. It’s unfortunately tough sledding.
They aren't. They are from people who are stretching themselves into mortgages and those McMansions in the middle of nowhere are 250k-300k tops. They aren't three million dollar houses.
> If they didn't feel they were doing anything improper, why did they lie to the American people and during subsequent testimony?

One good reason would be that appearances are extremely important in nearly all circumstances, especially when running for office or while in office. People often lie for very dumb, shallow reasons, because of their fear of how something might look. Trump is all about image after all and always has been. His brand has always been his primary business.
Just 60? Apple sure warps one's perspective on prices. These are just headphones, but at $60 nothing should be considered disposable. That's the daily takehome for a huge number of americans.
lol no, nobody (within epsilon...) fails because of latex. But they aren't exactly endeared to programming as a result of the experience. I came from the other direction -- a hacker who had a dozen programming languages under her belt, including bf and Perl, before I was introduced to the moderately arcane latex.

They're quite frequently brilliant mathematicians... but far too often, they're steeped in the "pure" math culture that favors pencil over keyboard. In the context of this crisis, my opinion is that their education is not preparing them for the future. They succeed in academia... but their work is too often unverifiable.

The difference between being an "ally" of US or not only has to do with its current economic interests. Until recently China was viewed as a big friend. And the US only decided to do something against it when it became clear that China would not allow US companies to control their economy. In the list of US "friends" we see dictatorships like Saudi Arabia and Thailand, and countries with numerous human rights violations such as the Philippines. This is not a great track record for a country that purports to be the champion of democracy around the world.
> his son-in-law met with the Russian ambassador and asked to use the Russian government's communication system to evade scrutiny by the American intelligence community

I'm just going to attack the weakest part of your post because it is egregious. I disagree with the rest to, but I think other comments do a good enough job of covering my points.

There is overwhelming evidence that Trump sees part of his job as being diplomat-in-chief, going to other countries and making/renegotiating deals. There is no way this attributed motivation of 'evad[ing] scrutiny by the American intelligence community' passes the Occam's Razor test of he wants a quiet place to talk before major public negotiations.

He wouldn't be the first or last president to have a quiet back-channel to a foreign country for negotiating purposes. It could be standard practice for all we know, it isn't a bad idea by any stretch.
iFixit rightly makes noise about the pointless unrepairability of some other Apple devices, but this one just feels like they're reaching.

On the other hand, if all of the services are “good enough” that they become the default option for every iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, that’s a very healthy user base from which to progress.

That said, Apple service excel in certain ways: Apple Music with Sound Check, for example, is easily the best sounding mobile music streaming.
iCloud Drive is the most seamless internet storage account for mobile devices.

Correct. They didn't come to SF voluntarily. Since they had mental issues, most (if not all) didn't even know what was happening to them.

In Final Fantasy XV they had boss battles fade directly into cutscenes. The music would need to be able to transition from any part of the boss track to the specific cutscene climax seamlessly.

Also they had music which was instrumented according to different moods and would seamlessly transition between them (e.g. Fast and slow chocobo theme)

I would argue that the US invasion of Iraq (WMD), the Vietnam War (Gulf of Tonkin), or the Spanish-American War (remember the Maine) have exposed the fallibility and blindness of mainstream press to counter-naratives in pursuit of being first / having an article about the issue of the day.

The broader point about clicks is that the economic model behind the US press changed from a subsidized press to a for-profit press... and yet everyone expected the work product to remain the same?
Half the reason Trump got elected was that the media just couldn't shut up about him.

They're his best friends.

If anything, all this media coverage shows is that the US mainstream media is now spectacularly ineffective and irrelevant.

They might have brought down Nixon, but they can't bring down Trump.

Everybody on all sides already has their minds made up, and they only read the news for entertainment, to confirm their biases, and to find talking points.
I admit that I know next to nothing about hardware engineering, but I can’t fathom how it would be possible to continue to miniaturize consumer products at scale while maintaining durability, quality and keeping them repair friendly? Would love some one with the right background to explain how they would design an AirPod like device that could be fixed by your average repair professional/shop/dealer/etc (let alone me at home).

Recyclability is a concern though!
Its still an economic system in place, whatever you wish to call it that causes these issues.
Thanks for pointing this out. I don't know any FFs personally; I do know plenty of teachers, social workers, and people in service jobs who are either making long commutes, living in shared arrangements more cramped than intended, or have left for places where compensation for those jobs compared to cost of living equals a better quality of life.
You can have whatever goals you like, but that doesn't entitle you to live in an area you can't afford.

Nimbus: A digital spending first credit card
They lied for political reasons.

Cohen's lie was simply to 'move back the date' of the end of the discussions from August, to mid Spring.

It was a campaign kind of lie, a lie of perceptions.

Cohen et. al. wanted to simply make it clear that the 'end of Russia discussions' was well before the nomination, and not near to it, purely for optics.

That's why it's an utterly stupid thing to do.

It was a stupid, needless like, just to avoid some possible bad news, that Cohen is going to go to jail for.

To me - this summarizes most of the Trump shenanigans: Trump and his crew of clowns do not have the sophistication to orchestrate anything with Russia!

Trump is 'just a guy'. He has a few family members, who are not professionals, help him out with stuff. This is not a 'operationalized, rigorous entity'. It's not like a bank, with policies, procedures, professional managers.

It's just a loud-mouth real-estate guy 'making deals' over the phone.

That's it.

I do not trust Trump one big, and it's good there is added scrutiny, and absolutely 100% the Russians will try to take advantage of Trump - in the same way they would try to take advantage of any president if they could.

But there's no attempt to undermine America, to do secret deals with Russian intelligence, no exchanging of secret information to alter the campaign. None of this.

Trump I think is a bad statesmen, who as a little to close to Russia for comfort, but there's no real smoking gun here, just a little bit of 'Cheech and Chong'.
Not sure if you're saying this is good or bad, but fwiw: Personal social support networks are important :) This is a great offering. If someone can get to family or a place where they have a supportive network of folks, that is a billion times better than the system on its own trying to take care of them with only institutional compassion

I say this as a socialist, not a libertarian or whatever :)

This might sound pedanatic but I hate when transportation choices are framed as for cars or for bikes. Transportation is for people. Talking about and designing our street infrastructure as if it’s designed for machines like cars and bikes leads us to designing systems that aren’t very friendly to humans (one needs to look no further than the ever increasing incidents of deaths for people walking or riding a bike).
This seems to be getting worse and worse for Boeing, and they definitely aren't acting like they understand the gravity of the situation. I guess Boeing has been coasting along based on its position and reputation for a few decades and this is the result.
Designing to accommodate bikes is the right direction but I wonder if a city could be designed to have a actual physical separation between large vehicles and small ones. Just because of the physics people on bikes are likely to be injured or killed by much larger cars in the event of a collision.
Talk about perfect timing!

I was looking for something just like this for a project in my team. We had been using this setup where a huge chunk of the data was being stored in triplicate: some of it in ES, some more of it in another database and finally the whole dataset in our data warehouse.

Hopefully I can use this to only provide the index + full text capability and just use the warehouse itself as the main db because the query performance is similar enough and the warehouse is criminally underused for what we pay for it.
What I never understood is why these animals are actually considered "attracted to the same sex" when they really just "have sex with the same sex".

iMessage is the only IM platform where i’m never sure if the person has actually received my message, if he’ll be able to respond to me, and where group conversation fork half the time into split conversations between members of the group.

All this because they tried to transparently merge phone number and icloud account as well as SMS and internet messages. Between people that may or may not be using iOS , icloud, or imessage ( or any combination of the above).

As for icloud, i suppose you’ve never ran out of space as a user, nor as a developer have you tried syncing a core data db or keychain custom data over that service. I’ve been developping on iOS since iOS 3 and i still can’t give you a good forecast on how syncing will work in practice.

The study in question does not link fish oil supplements to cancer. It correlates (with no clear evidence of causality) high blood levels of fatty acids with actual cases of prostate cancer. It is speculated that for at least some of the subjects, the high levels of fatty acids may have come from supplements.

FTA:
"It is worth bearing in mind that this study did not assess participants’ diet and use of supplements. Researchers measured blood levels of fatty acids and analysed the association with prostate cancer risk. However, it is likely that the very high levels of fatty acids found in some participants’ blood came from supplements."
>Plus, you can replace just the earbuds or the case on its own (it's unlikely you'll break both at the same time) for ~$60.

this is the exact opposite of iFixit's ideals. What do you want them to do? not talk about this product at all?
The saying would be closer to:

"I hate you for having ∞x more than me and actively preventing me from having a decent life, just to milk a little bit more from me. I want my stuff"
I didn't say that makes them "disposable". Apple could've forced you to spend another $140 if any part of package broke; instead they allow you to "repair" them by replacing just the part that's broken. That seems like a pretty reasonable middle ground.
I think Apple should have been bolder a long time ago. It should be the case that with Apple you get (near) global 4G/5G coverage on all their devices. So you take your laptop out in Spain and snap you’re online. Apples hardware is their bread and butter. I think they need to view it as their amazon prime... as in make a services ecosystem which means you want to stay using their hardware instead of just adding paid subscription services to their existing offering.
> we had an attempt to tax big companies to get some money to deal with this get shouted down by all the folks in Amazon's pockets.

> assuming the majority of people actually wanted it because they believed it would solve the problem.

The poster is omitting that most people in Seattle were opposed to the tax, because it would have significantly harmed labor unions and regional businesses, like grocery stores.

The Seattle city council crafted a tax without consulting businesses about how economics works, doubled down and told people to stuff it when they pointed out that it was going to damage the local economy by crippling mid-tier businesses that had high-gross, low-margin revenues, and were then forced into an embarrassing retreat when labor unions started campaigning against it and neighborhood organizations circled the wagons to protect their historic businesses.

It was also a pocket change, feel good tax: Seattle spends over a billion dollars a year on poverty, between low-income subsidies and homelessness, and has nothing but a degrading situation to show for it.

People in Seattle just have a simple question: both Amazon and the SCC have spent about $25B over the past decade -- Amazon to rebuild SLU, and the SCC on anti-poverty; why does Amazon have a campus and tens to hundreds of thousands of lives changed, while the SCC has literal poop on the streets to show for it?
I know HN doesn't appreciate this sort of comment, but the idea that Airpods represent some sort of progress is the dumbest idea in the whole world.

The NSA have been using Hard Drive Firmware exploits for years. Such an attack could hide malware that also survives a format[0] (Which is why I brought up a drive replacement in my prev post). I wouldn't be surprised if the same can't be done with SSD Firmware too (we have already seen people do "bad things" with USB Memory sticks [1])

Also if a full BIOS flash has been performed you might be SOL as after a power cycle the modified BIOS is now the first thing loaded by your system (Or it might be the VBIOS, its been a while.) which could prevent future flashing of the BIOS or fake the flashing process but not actually flash anything. If you have a board that can recovery flash you might be able to recover but how do you trust the system afterwards?

As the BIOS is usually stored on a SPI Flash you could use an external programmer to dump the content of the flash and do a diff on the firmware file.

You have to think about who is your attacker. Are the Kiddies going to go to such lengths to stay persistent on a consumers laptop they use as a facebook machine? Prob not. But is it outside the scope of a determined attacker (or nation state) who managed to get a first stage attack malware inside a large company? IMO it would depend on how valuable they determine access to your network / data is.

EDIT: I've not spoke about VBIOS infections as the GPU Vendors on at least modern cards have been really locking down their GPUS and as far as I've seen, I've yet to see any credible claims of attacks on GPU's in the wild (They could be out there, I've just not come across any.). But such an attack would be scary as hell (imo) as its a black box that has DMA access to the CPU (think like the Mac Thunderbolt attacks of old) and other devices on the PCI-e bus. Its one of the places I would be spending my time researching.
