I believe they have restored the first Saturday in October date also (suspended a few years after 9-11). However that weekend is also the Albuquerque Balloon Festival. So you have the bonus of viewing this event. But at the same time competing busy travel arrangements with this very popular event.
The reason burden of proof is on the person making the argument is that it is trivial to come up with arguments that are not falsifiable. And for any non-falsifiable claim you can make a contradictory non-falsifiable claim.

So if you can accurately say of some claim "there is no evidence of that" then the claim is completely refuted. Thus asking for evidence is a polite way of pointing out when something is completely made up.

Sure, if someone makes a claim that is widely established, like climate change or natural selection, then of course some rando on the web asking for yet more evidence is probably trying to derail the conversation.

But if a claim is not widely established, like intelligent design, then a request for evidence is perfectly reasonable. There can be no a-priori convincing counter argument without referring to facts in the real world. Indeed, almost not claim is refutable a-priori without real world facts.

So given an unreasonable and unsupported claim on the internet I suppose we can 1) assume the poster is a troll and ignore them or 2) assume they and the audience are genuine and point out their statement is unsupported and therefore false. Whether one actually wants to go around correcting people being wrong in the Internet is another question. But a guy's gotta procrastinate somehow.

I like qbittorrent's search engine, it has a bunch of sites built in and searches all of them at once.

I paid for a 4k screen on my Dell laptop with Ubuntu and nobody will let me stream in 4k because of DRM HDCP 2.2 requirements, so anything in 4k I have to torrent. Virtually everything that's available in 4k is on the torrent sites so it's not like the DRM is doing them any good.

From what I gathered online, software to crack the 4k streams has been developed but the scene teams are keeping it private so it doesn't get patched, which is fine by me as long as they keep releasing stuff.

> But again, agree or disagree with her, I hardly think it's abhorrent or entirely unreasonable.

This critically misstates the claim. I don't have to (and don't, in fact) find her "abhorrent" or think that her reasoning is invalid (although it is unsound). I think she's wrong, and that everybody should be on the same page about that. I don't want dawdling on my ethics committees.
Declaring a scientific consensus before serious research has even begun renders the word "science" meaningless. Scientists haven't developed a test for transgenderism, or even identified a measurable difference, and what little research has been done comes from the politicized and not-at-all-rigorous "social sciences" whose reliability is questionable at best. There won't be an evidence-based scientific consensus (as opposed to an artificial consensus enforced by excluding anyone who disagrees with the party line) about transgenderism any time soon.
Australia Passes Law to Punish Social Media Companies for Violent Posts
I'm having a hard time understanding how an evidence request could kill an argument.

Suppose someone says Beethoven revolutionized music because unlike other composers he wrote kickass songs in C minor.

Suppose I reply that writing music in C minor isn't on its own revolutionary, and many other composers from that period or earlier wrote pieces in C minor.

Suppose that someone then demands I provide them with evidence.

Suppose I give two famous pieces of evidence: Mozart's Fantasia in C minor, K. 475 and Mozart's piano concerto in C minor, K. 491. Perhaps I even put a little icing on the cake and mention that Beethoven reportedly heard a performance of that Mozart concerto and told a colleague, "We'll never be able to write anything like that!"

What possible benefit would there have been if I had refrained from writing that last paragraph? From what I can see the discussion was essentially just noise until I offered up evidence to support a claim. It cost me nearly nothing to write it, while I would have risked a descent into snobbery if I hadn't.
Did I say that? The point is that it just because it looks like an "honest mistake" doesn't mean it is. If you were to create a backdoor, that's exactly how you'd want to do it.

Given the circumstances, one might wish to err on the side of caution.
Speaking of Yubikeys: I found a Yubikey lying somewhere. I asked around, no takers. Is it safe to use such a Yubikey? It'd be a shame to waste it.
I was there in 2015. I didn’t actually sit on one, but we got right up next to them for pictures. The park rangers just poke each one with a stick first to make sure it doesn’t move. But yeah you could pet them and everything.

Then in the afternoon they start running around and the rangers use the sticks to keep them away.
> basic dignity entails treating a person as an end in themselves, and never merely as a means

But this does not mean agreeing with every choice that person makes, or even agreeing that that person should be able to make all possible choices without getting disapproval from others or even without legal penalties. Even a murderer who is convicted on conclusive evidence can still be treated with basic dignity as you describe it; that doesn't mean we will give any weight to the murderer's complaints about being incarcerated.

> It's not particularly hard for me to answer that skinning cats alive for pleasure, pointlessly hurting other human beings, and irrationally loathing oneself are all obvious moral wrongs, in the sense we would not be willing to accept any moral system that permits them

Who is "we"? All of the activities you describe have been practiced by some human societies.

I think you are very overconfident in the universality of your particular ethical beliefs.

> If you walk into my house, or request entry, I can treat you however I like... If he wants to be angry and make personal insults then people can choose not to interact with him or the things he works on. It should go no further than that.

This is inconsistent. Even if you believe OS projects are like “homes” and bullies have the right to treat people however they like in their homes... By the same logic everyone, typing on keyboards in their own homes, has the right to criticize bullies and express their opinions. By proclaiming “it should go no further” that keeping quiet you are implicitly placing restrictions on what they can do in their homes. Heck, they can even do it in your home if they want, until you uninvite them.

I use geothermal as a way to absorb/dissipate the heat. I got the idea from here: https://forums.overclockers.com.au/threads/concrete-slab-wat...
Instead though I dug a trench outside that was 4ft deep 20ft long and then buried some pex pipe. As the water flows into the aluminum block attached to the peltier it absorbs the heat and then as it enters the ground it dissipates so when it comes out of the ground of its back at 55F. The water is moved with a 12v pump. The longer the run the better as the ground is not efficient in energy transfer. If its to short it wont cool down all the way.

I thought of trying to use copper pipe with round engine heat sinks attached to it, to increase the energy transfer rate. However it didn't seem like the copper would last long before potentially reacting with the ground.

> I think she's wrong

And that's precisely why she should be on your ethics committee. If the only people you allow on your committee are those you think are "right", you are shutting out precisely the people whose views your committee most needs to hear. If you hear their best arguments, and are able to rebut them, then you can have confidence that their views are indeed wrong. Or if you hear their best arguments, and realize you can't rebut them, then you will have learned something. But if you don't hear their arguments at all, how do you know whether you can rebut them or not? It's like having a trial where only the prosecution gets to speak.
This makes me think that if any company has a mission to digitize/preserve the world's information, they should now be required to setup a proper non-profit organization/foundation around that. That way this prevents the company from later on exploiting it or killing it off due to a conflict of interest.
When they say one year later, that's how long it took the new bloated design to load, right?
I tasted Kofola, it's an interesting taste (like coke with a bit of lemon) though I prefer Coke Zero instead. Also, don't ever mix it with fish or mushroom meals or you might add another experience... Vinea on the other hand tastes fantastic, like sparkling wine without the bitterness/moldy taste present in wine. I wish I could buy it over here, preferably a zero sugar variant. I'd replace champagne for kids with that.
It is exactly that, no more controversial than a logic text book. But post-truth views seem to be getting slowly internalized where opinion is considered another kind of fact.

There were similar debates pre-enlightenment where mystic revelations were given equal or more weight than the "always deceptive" real world.

I disagree. Conclusions require propositions to draw an inference. If I say “the moon is made of cheese”. That is a conclusion that can’t be supported on its face and lacks any propositions to evaluate the reasonableness of the statement.

If I say the “moon appears to melt in a manner similar to cheese on earth, so it must be made of cheese” that proposition can be evaluated to determine to what extent it supports the conclusion.

Asking for support of a conclusion or questioning whether a proposition actually supports an inference is totally legitimate in a debate.

Attacking one proposition while ignoring others, pretending that a proposition that clearly supports a conclusion doesn’t; those are invalid.

I agree you can often tell when someone is being ridiculous and adding noise (I like that phrase in this context) or trying to prove a preconceived argument rather than being open to changing in the face of evidence.

But your two points are connected.

You're valuing your privacy at $10/month?

But what if critical information about you is used to get you to pay more for your next airline ticket? Or more for your next car? Or your next house?

Or in a different fashion, what if it prevents you from seeing a job for younger people, or prevents you from getting an insurance or credit card offer that other people see? (this is the more likely scenario)

This isn't your government checking to see if you're a dissident, but you're being sort of imprisoned in a different way.

Internet society global internet report
This is going to sound silly but I think there is pretty substantial value in making the white supremacist feel _heard_ and then feel dismissed. How do you feel when someone brushes off your opinion as invalid before you've even had a chance to express it? Like the person brushing you off is obviously an idiot who can't be reasoned with. But if someone has taken the time to discuss something with you and really hear you out and then they dismiss your opinion? Then you're probably a little more open to thinking through the merits of why they disagree.

I'm not sure how to strike that balance and I completely understand that it feels both distasteful and inefficient to "re-litigate" things like white supremacy when the correct outcome is obvious to us but I think the negative effects of "echo chambers" are exacerbated by how quickly their views are dismissed before they've been given a chance to explain themselves. In denying them the opportunity to express their views we're not only solidifying their views but denying them the opportunity to examine their views critically.

I chocked it up to a "kids these days" generational kinda thing, like how we got "phat" in the 70s and "kewl" in the 90s, both of which are now in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Ask HN: Will potentially be sue as a developer
I did contract work for someone in Node.js
I was not versed in node. When we initially spoke about work for hire it was not in node. He called me back and told me he wanted me do it in Node. I told him no, that I was not going to since it was outside of my knowledge and did not feel comfortable. It was a simple project so I conceded and do it. He asked me to now do a big project in node. I declined but he gets another person for me to work with who is really is not strongly skilled in node but with more experience in it than I have and we work on it.

I join his 4 man company and fast forward to today. My last day at this company is in 2 days and he has the code looked at by a third party auditor. There are issues with the code(obviously).
He is asking me to document everything I ever wrote and I am being threatened with legal action for work done he said as an contractor(not as an employee with the company). Since it was subpar.

He had withheld my last paycheck saying I will get it on my last day at the company(I dont know what else he has planned for me then. May serve me my lawsuit?).

What is my best course of action with this? I am guessing seek legal council soon. This is in the U.S btw
is he just now becoming aware of it? it seems he had no idea something like sml existed when he first created python. i am sure he had heard of lisp/scheme but probably ignored it.
The problem is that most incentives can be gamed. There are good and bad ways to get customers to buy more or make the stock price go up.

People are smarter than metrics. Increase the incentives and you also increase the incentive to cheat. Sometimes the best you can do is insulate people from incentives, so people have the leeway to do the right thing without acting against their own best interest.

Absolutely. But what should I conclude about our ethics board from that? I don't think I'm undermining the anybody's dignity by claiming that the board should focus on more salient issues than how much dignity to grant various gender/sexual minorities.

> Who is "we"? All of the activities you describe have been practiced by some human societies.
I think you are very overconfident in the universality of your particular ethical beliefs.

We is you and me, on today, 2019, benefiting from the moral failures of those that precede us. Those that follow us will no doubt benefit from our moral failures.

We humans have done lots of bad things. I don't feel as if any worthy moral system (again, without committing to any system in particular) is threatened by the historicity of unjustified cruelty towards animals, other humans, and ourselves.

I also haven't presented any of my particular ethical beliefs, i.e. views that follow directly and uniquely from the particular moral system that I think is right. I've only presented ethical claims that I think all sound ethical systems uphold.

Can we stop pretending 'UX experts' know more about user interface design than programmers now?
Absolutely this. The Web API is oddly crippled in a number of ways which make it oddly difficult to develop many interesting apps for the platform. You can't fetch the users a logged-in user is following, for example, hampering the ability to make any kind of "Spotify native" social functionality. Very odd, there's an API developer advocate but he seems toothless within the company.
I think a lot of psychological research confirms that people start with the opinion or position and find evidence (any will do) to back it up, not the other way around. So it's not surprising it shows up in lots of debates between people.
I get what you're saying - Doonesbury is maybe a good example of one that you really had to be there. On the other hand a lot of the classics that do have a time based cultural context can still be very funny.

Take Asterix where a lot of characters wore the faces of contemporary celebrities or politicians, but that was a secondary joke so they still maintain their appeal. The Simpsons and South Park also have a lot of cultural references but the early seasons are every bit as funny now. Classics like Marge vs the Monorail still hold up as the core theme is one that keeps repeating every generation, but a guest appearance by Leonard Nimoy wont mean anything to a new audience.
This is the second time I've lost eBooks to Microsoft. The first time was some time in the late 90s, when I used to read books on the bus on my Compaq iPAQ PocketPC PDA, using an app which I think was called Microsoft Reader? The books were of course DRM'd.

Eventually the app disappeared and those files are now useless.
