I left for various reasons, but I would definitely take the opportunity to move back if circumstances changed. It's an amazing place to work in tech in terms of compensation, growth, and general vitality. The food and drink scene is good, and the city is generally very safe, relative to other US cities. And it is surrounded by pretty amazing nature: within a three to four hour drive you have world class skiing, hiking, camping, climbing, etc.
> lamenting socialized medicine in Europe (maybe 15% of the entire European economy is socialized just in that area alone)

Which I take to mean replacing with or discussing a fully private model, losing the public/social aspect. The NHS is a blend of private/public too. Adopting the German or Dutch model wouldn't be the end of socialised medicine but more a different variation on the theme. Some work better than others. Adopting a US model would end the socialised aspect.

The FT, like all businesses, attempts to serve their customers - in this case the business owning readership. They have surprised on occasion, and not just via their pro Europe stance. Which has at least been consistent.

Proud Boys? Just sayin'.

Sure. A few of them are going to jail for criminal political violence. Then, also facing legal consequences are the members of Antifa who were looking for the Proud Boys, and ended up assaulting a couple of innocent Marines going to a dance. One of them was non-white, and the Antifa members apparently were spewing the most vile racist, toxic words the whole time.

Again: We need to be skeptical of this authoritarianism masquerading as "justice" and "openness."
Yes, so strictly speaking you're not only displacing the water; you're dissolving it into the alcohol. But assuming you're using more than a tiny bit of alcohol, the water/alcohol ratio of the solution will be minuscule. Furthermore, if you pour alcohol over the components, the new alcohol will displace the just-formed solution.
tl;dr: The FBI wants the IP addresses of people who commented on an 8chan thread created by the Poway synagogue shooter[1] prior to his attack in an effort to find any co-conspirators.

So I really struggle with the concept of subtle economic coercion (ie, the basis of western society) being described as "totalitarian".

It's like 1st-world problems being described as legitimate oppression.
Not rocking the boat means they are serving establishment, status quo interests.

Every media org has bias. This is not a negative statement in general, nor FT. It is just real.

Well informed people tend to sample from a range of perspectives.

In that sense, FT is a good value add to ones list.

"It's no different to any other secured loan"

It appears to be an unsecured loan. A secured loan is one where the lender takes a lien on (or physical possession of) collateral that can be repossessed or liquidated if the borrower fails to pay back.

"presenting the actual £ amounts rather than % AERs, which is probably clearer for the vast majority of people."

The consumer credit regulators don't agree with you[0]. In the UK, any promotion/solicitation for consumer credit that includes a cost of credit (e.g. the amount of a fee) must also show the APR. The intent of these regulations is to allow offers from different lenders to be compared on a standard measure.

Kid: I'd say the lower bound is around 5, and the upper bound is variable depending on the individual...

In this case, I'd suggest the upper bound doesn't matter, as the criteria for filtering should be "a semi-unattended 5 year old could view it without concern."

All your examples are of topics where it's probably best for parents to initiate their child's education on the topic rather than Youtube randomly putting it in some kid's feed.
Here's the crux of their reasoning & requested information in seeking the warrant, from the linked PDF:

As discussed above, Earnest made a posting in which he thought to draw attention to his forthcoming attack on the Chabad of Poway, share his views through his open letter, and offer people the opportunity to observe the attack itself. Several people responded, both individuals who were taken aback about the posting as well as people who were sympathizers. As a result, some of the individuals may be potential witnesses, co-conspirators and/ or individuals who are inspired by the subject posting. Based on agents' training and experience, following attacks such as those conducted by Earnest, other individuals are inspired by the attacks and may act of their own accord. For example, as described above, Earnest himself was inspired by the Christchurch event in New Zealand.

Regardless of the nature of the comments, the evidence sought to be seized as described in Attachment B is relevant as evidence of Earnest's bias and motivation in committing the hate crimes set forth in Attachment B. Even comments made in response to the subject posting or about it are relevant to Earnest's motivation for his violent attacks to the extent that as explained above, some of the posters may be potential witnesses, co-conspirators and/or individuals who are inspired by the subject posting. As discussed above, Earnest stated in the subject posting, "I've only been lurking for a year and a half, yet, what I've learned here is priceless." This information suggests that Earnest was inspired and/or educated by individuals who commented on his threads.

Based on this information, there is reasonable cause to believe that the information sought, specifically IP address and metadata for all commenters, constitute evidence of his motivation in committing the offenses described herein and are thus relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation, information that may be sought by an order issued pursuant to l S U.S.C. § 2703(c) and (d). That is, the information may lead to the identity of individuals who inspired and/or educated Earnest or are aware of his motivation in committing the attacks.
Because Google and Facebook and several others got started that way. VCs know that the biggest wins often emerge in unexpected ways. And they can pay for a lot of stupid ideas.
As far as MANPADS are concerned, the A-10 is stealth.

Nearly all MANPADS are infrared guided. The A-10 hides the engine exhaust by surrounding it with the aircraft's tail. This is better than the F-35 and F-22, and about as good as the YF-23 or F-117.

Any of those aircraft can be additionally protected by a towed decoy.

Problem: mussels can bio-accumulate lethal naturally occurring toxins, and it is difficult to evaluate their safety.[1] I grew up around commercial fisherman in Alaska. All sorts of wild food was commonly hunted or gathered, but eating wild mussels was not done. They were supposed to be safe most of the time, but it was regarded as not worth the risk. CDC continues to document cases of PSP in that region.[2]

Please don't gather wild mussels unless you really know what you are doing.

Per US Dept of health:

"If the water isn't red, does that mean the shellfish are safe to eat?

Not necessarily. Paralytic Shellfish Poison can be present in large amounts even if the water looks clear. Also, the toxin can remain in shellfish long after the algae bloom is over.

Can I tell if shellfish are toxic by how they look?

No. Shellfish containing toxic levels of Paralytic Shellfish Poison don't look or taste any different from shellfish that are safe to eat. Laboratory testing of shellfish meat is the only known method of detecting Paralytic Shellfish Poison.

Does cooking the shellfish make it safe to eat?

No. Paralytic Shellfish Poison isn't destroyed by cooking or freezing."

I was both happy and sad to see a comment by Terry A. Davis in the linked post. For those who don't know or remember, he was the guy who created single-handedly created TempleOS which, like he says in his comment, was inspired by God.

Interesting character, and a shame that he couldn't get the help he needed.

What percent of women attempt to start a business vs men? Not saying there’s not a disparity but this is important information to include for comparison.
I agree, but it requires quickly reading the situation. Sometimes it can be as effective as not making eye contact.
Cause and effect is a bit of a baffler here though. The summary stats/top 20 figures suggest there is a TX bias to funding which in turn suggests to me that oil companies are funding politicians from their own states. Ted Cruz, Ted (R-TX) and Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) combine to a disproportionately large $1 mil, and probably represent a lot of people who are quite happy in the oil industry.

So it seems reasonable that despite the money the people who are receiving it might rationally support O&G regardless because it is great for their constituents.

It isn't because of what they were taught in school though, that much is pretty clear.
My guitar professor in college would have me pick up from random points in a piece of music at speed.

Another reply on this thread suggested that practicing slow is categorically bad. This isn't true. There is value in not locking in bad habits by being deliberate at low speed.

I had never heard this about playing fast, though. Subjective as it may be, I always abhorred the "shredding" set, because it felt like a cheap trick rather than skillful playing.
Strange they don’t have that information already. Could this be a parallel construction sort of a thing where they pretend they don’t have the data already?

“The answer, we believe, is chat until a million years ago, the North Pole was not in that landlocked Arctic Ocean at all, but in the middle of the open Pacific, where there was no land on which snow and ice could accumulate, and ocean currents dissipated the cold."

Can anyone explain this bit to me? Even if the magnetic pole was in the middle of the pacific, wouldn't snow and ice still accumulate at the geographic poles, because that's where the sun is weakest/absent for months?
I was saying all along that your exercise:

There is plenty of evidence that zinc has effects on the progress of rhinoviral infections. I don't know of any detailed determination why, but it seems tied up with preferential activation of certain immune system components. People who respond well to zinc treatments often report immediate dizziness after remarkably small doses, when taken as cold symptoms are emerging.

They used to sell a gel that, it turned out, caused permanent loss to sense of smell if snorted (against pkg instructions, but who read those?). Now you find lozenges, which seem to work about as well.

Indeed, Al DiMeola is another example. I used to do 6 hour practice sessions with some regularity. What you practice during that 6 hour session matters, however. If you "play" for 6 hours, you can't call it practice. They're quite different.
Note that this also implies that politics plays basically no causal role in what he did

Some politics is sociopathic. Some is perhaps better characterized as nihilist. Accelerationism, which is what is advocated by the Christchurch shooter, is both sociopathic and nihilistic.

Do note that, plausibly, "rational debate" and the like - the usual arguments for maximum free speech! - do not apply to psychopaths in general; these individuals entirely lack affective empathy or a moral sense, and even their theory-of-mind abilities

If you go and look at the documented video of both Far Left and Far Right extremists committing acts of violence, intimidation, and vandalism, you will see precisely what you have described above. "These individuals entirely lack affective empathy or a moral sense." This is actually why you want to accord them Free Speech. If civic discourse is operating correctly, such people inevitably reveal themselves for what they really are. The problem with 2019 and recent years, is that civic discourse and the news media are broken, and much of the complete picture may be hidden from view from within a particular information bubble.
A similar strategy works for remembering names too. The next time you meet someone, imagine their name emblazoned on their forehead in bright letters. At least for me, this helps to associate the intangible name with a real, physical thing - seeing their face almost becomes a kind of mnemonic.

Why would it be strange? And what alternative method of obtaining it would they have? It doesn't seem like a stretch to get the warrant approved, so I don't know why they'd go to any great lengths to have gotten the same information in a method that couldn't be used in courts.
I have a distinct memory of two of my friends in college in the mid-80s talking about this. One was reading the paper. He announced without looking up that there is a new Ice Age coming. The other guy jumped up, looked out the window, and said, "Where!?"

It was just another crackpot theory used to fill space in the newspaper. Back then, the serious neurotics used the threat of nuclear annihilation to make themselves sick with worry.

If Iran didn't attack the ships who did? It would be impossible for the US Govt to orchestrate this and keep it secret. Enough people inside government would be horrified that it would 100% leak immediately if not beforehand.

If not Iran, why is there video of an Iranian navy vessel pulled up alongside the attacked tanker?

Edit 2: Lots of legal eagles on HN today that are upset at the word "material." Sorry? If you read the full search warrant it sounds like he torched a synagogue, and was encouraged to follow up with a shooting.
When we talk about whether or not deplatforming "works" we necessarily have to define our goals. If your goal is, for instance, to be able to find as much hateful content on your platform of choice -- deplatforming absolutely doesn't work. If your goal is to allow fewer outlets for hateful groups to recruit new members (this is my goal), it's working fantastically. Almost better than any other tactic right now.

Only the discontinued F-117 and the bid-losing YF-23 have better protection against MANPADS than the A-10.

Look at the exhaust, which is where the heat comes from. Nearly all MANPADS are infrared guided. The A-10 hides the engine exhaust by surrounding it with the aircraft's tail. An F-35 doesn't even try to be stealth at the rear, with a great big round hot orifice.

The A-10 can frequently survive MANPADS. It has two engines, physically separated on pods. The F-35 will crash if that single engine gets hit.

Tow a decoy if you want more protection.

"Billy Pilgrim ... “comes unstuck in time” and begins to experience chronology the way Tralfamadorians do, he understands why his captors find comical the notion of free will."

The belief that time is linear is not universal. Another fictional take on 'eternal recurrence' is explored in Ouspensky's 1915 Strange Life of Ivan Osokin. The protagonist becomes conscious of having lived the same life repeatedly, and struggles to fix his mistakes.

It's a valuable metaphor, though I reject the concern that the timeline of every quark is scripted.
The FBI can't just ask the NSA to hack every US company every time they want some information from it. I'm sure they do for the big dogs, as revealed from their collaboration in targeting Tor hidden services, and for anything concerning espionage and national security, but the vast majority of the time they're stuck trudging through the long legal process like every other law enforcement institution (such as your local PD). I doubt 8chan was high on their radar before this attack.

I know this is a "slippery slope" type argument, but if you are going equate "mild inconvenience of your flight delayed" with death and destruction, you are opening up a huge invitation for authorities to apply some pretty frightening laws to anybody who wants to protest about something. Protests have traditionally obstructed traffic or caused other inconvenience and often when notified in advance the police even help them by directing traffic or doing crowd control etc. This isn't that much different and in some ways is better because aviation is actually one of the huge unsolvable contributors to climate change, so this protest is highly targeted to the people who are contributing to that.
