Hold on there.

What was believed by significant percentage of people were "claims" from satirical articles. For example, "CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper said his belief that Trump colluded with Russia is unshakable; it will not change regardless of statements or evidence to the contrary." or "National Security Advisor John Bolton said that an attack on two Saudi Arabian oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman is “an attack on all Americans.”"

When taken out of context, it could appear entirely plausible (though unlikely) that Anderson Cooper or John Bolton really said that. People say weird things all the time. Only when the context of a satirical article is given would we expect someone to understand.

An article like the CNN industrial washer story would clearly not be believed by a significant percentage of people.

> but that Section 230 applies to actions that a user-installed software takes on that users own computer?!

Malwarebytes was the one trying to invoke Section 230's "safe harbor" for filtering software because it would immunize Malwarebytes even if its conduct was illegal under New York competition law. (And it would allow dismissing the case at an early stage, without resolving whether Malwarebytes' conduct was in fact legal.)

If you're correct that Section 230 doesn't apply at all, then the result is the same as what the Ninth Circuit held: the claims against Malwarebytes can go forward.

It's not just private companies you have to worry about doing this.

After you buy a property my local government sends you an mandatory looking survey in an attempt to a) rat on the previous owner for un-permitted improvements b) build a case for valuing your house higher for taxes c) preemptively admit to non-compliance with city specific laws you probably don't know about yet.

If you're a Linux home user and you want a second copy of your data somewhere else in the event of a system failure / flood / fire I'd consider scripting something to B2 (Backblaze's object storage), AWS Glacier, or other archive priced cloud services.

If you're looking for a backup service to handle point in time recovery, differential deduplication, or other features of a backup service (vs. a second copy of your data archive) those also exist though I don't have a clear recommendation for home users.

On Backblaze's business pricing my understanding is they require minimum of 5 users so that's where you'll see the difference solved.
This sounds like a gross exaggeration:

I find it hard to believe that they didn't benefit at all from a workout because they took vitamin C or E. I'd like to see the methodology of this study if that's really the conclusion they came to.

I'd highly recommend the Kimball books, e.g. "The Data Warehouse Toolkit".

Unless you're working with a lot of data, the technical parts of a data warehouse are relatively easy to grasp (the dbt team wrote some great posts on how they structure their projects [1]). After that, what really makes a difference is how you structure our data warehouse, how you model your data in a way that allow you to query it efficiently and ask many questions. That's where the Kimball books shine.

I've been using restic with the Backblaze B2 backend for a home server backup, which seems to be as close as Backblaze will ever get to having a Linux client.

My rough numbers are 450GB stored monthly, 4GB downloaded monthly, 90k stored files, 385,000 individual transactions, which ends up costing about $2.25 in storage fees, $0.25 for transactions, and $0.10 for download bandwidth.

Aren't those of us born in 1980 (+/- a year or so) millennials?

I'm about the same age (38) and I guess I count myself as a millennial. I'm certainly considered a millennial by everyone older than me. I'd always heard the cutoff between Gen X and millennial was 1975, but now that I search I'm seeing '82 or '83 a lot. That doesn't fit with how I typically see the term used, though.

That having been said, I feel like there were plenty of mentorship programs when I was first starting my career, but I haven't worked for too many pure software companies. It may have been very different in actual tech companies. The more traditional corporations I've worked in tend to be big on formal mentorship programs.

I hadn't thought of that. One potential problem is long-term storage of hydrogen. Hydrogen is so small that it will eventually escape from whatever container you put it in. This diffusion is faster at higher pressures, and depends a lot on the materials involved. So I think it could work, but you'd have to be careful about what materials you used for your storage container.

I hold a belief in small government, but the spam mail I've been receiving since building a house cries loudly for regulation.

They make this stuff look so official. They use IRS fonts. They print it on pink paper. They write "final notice" when that's meaningless. They have your PII from the public records and make it look like it's from your mortgage group.

That kind of business should be treated as fraud. Who knows how many elderly or otherwise have lost tons of money from these garbage "companies." They should be ashamed.

I'm not sure about today, but 4 years ago we bought 120 HP notebooks from Verizon (they had cell modems in them) to use with a project. We had a horrendous failure rate of 100 hard drives in the first six months. They were Seagate drives. We ended up just replacing the remaining 20s hard drives as a preventative measure.
Agreed. My seagate drives all died, even ones bundled in external usb drives.

All that's telling you is that you're in a caloric deficit, which is probably a result of restricting the food groups you are eating. You often see this with people who do a low carb diet. They lose a bunch of weight initially, and think it was because carbohydrates were making them fat. The reality is they just eliminated one of the 3 big macronutrients, and as a result their caloric intake went down.

Even from a humour perspective your point is flawed - Under socialism, everybody would get an equal amount of packets making everybodies internet equal.

Which begs the question - what is the average internet bandwidth per person upon the planet. Many without would add many 0 entries and by average, the mean, mode and medium values would be most interesting. I'd guestimate that many with internet would panic at dial up speeds today, balance that with many who would go from no internet to something.

Alas, you can't please all of the people all of the time, but ideology and reality often cause friction.
Here is the study if you want to dig into it![1] We know exercise improve insulin resistance and glucose uptake, so that's the benefit of exercise they measured.

It's actually not that surprising. Vitamin C and E have anti-oxidant properties. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during metabolism. Generally we think of them as being bad since they can damage molecules in the body, but it appears that ROS are actually a signal to the body that causes it to improve cardiovascular fitness. Take too much vitamin C and E and you're blocking that signal.

Derek Lowe has a nice blog post on it.[2]

It's a good lesson in Chesterson's Fence. Before you tear down the fence (ROS), you may want to double check why it's there in the first place.

The project is interesting enough on its own merits—introducing it as a replacement for Lynx just seems like bad positioning.

It’s like saying “New minimalist transportation mode that replaces the bicycle! (Requires an existing car and jet engine)”
The "Death Star" title really belongs only to that one specific model (75GXP) produced by IBM and its spectacular failure mode (shredding the magnetic media off the platter almost entirely in some cases)
That are all kind of unhappy situations it could lead to, depending on just how far off the deep end Google/Alphabet goes.

As an example, lets say they identify 50 specific people who are going to die next week due to (say) a heart attack.

They could decide to only notify those people who are friendly to the Google/Alphabet world view. With the others purposely not being notified.

The point being, stuff like this can be misused and Google/Alphabet is well down the path of doing dodgy stuff already. :(
The funny moment of all this is how Google is becoming the type of search browser that existed in 2000. Altavista, webcrawler, yahoo, and others were the default search engines, but then they started to let advertisers override the search results to be inserted in the search results. Initially, the results were clearly delineated, but over time, they fell in and the note of it being an “ad” fell away.

To be fair, the internet is being conflated into a platform to drive people into walled gardens, and google is trying to deal with helping people into them.

I wondered how long it would take for the site to descend into the dark patterns that caused google to ascend.
All drives will fail. You're just buying time (or rather, the likelihood of getting more time out of the drive).

I've had a couple of WD reds fail. You pop in another and rebuild the volume. It's normal as long as it's not too often.
Just curious, if you could highlight some of the problems you've experienced with each "generation" of looker reporting? Was there any specific issues that encouraged the re-implementation?
Google was lynx friendly for a long time but that seemed to have stopped this year :(. RIP Google

She. The cases do not need to be frivolous. Exploitative behavior is all that is required. In this particular case, the defendant immediately removed the image when notified and offered a the photographer 5 times their usual licensing fee. That is an extremely reasonable resolution given there is no evidence that the defendant profited from its use of the image.

Attempting to further pursue the case after a reasonable settlement was offered is an attempt to use the court extrajudicially as a means to be financially punitive. That is the reasoning behind part (d) of rule 68 as referenced in the article.

This is actually mentioned in google's documentation - you need datePublished and dateModified: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/article...

There's no real way to avoid failure in any particular piece of hardware. Eventually, everything from the HDD to the computer it's in will fail. The only wait to ensure data durability is to back up across multiple independent physical sites. Even then, there's never a guarantee - it's just that the chance of data loss decreases to levels where other issues start being more problematic, e.g. global nuclear war.
Is it, though? The title obviously communicates that a project called Browsh aims to be a sort of successor to Lynx.
I’m not sure this is true. As you ramp down eg carbs you ramp up protein and fat, sometimes significantly. It’s not clear that a caloric deficit is the reason you’re losing weight.

> How are people supposed to learn and improve without knowing told what they did wrong?

To shove this back into the 'online community' context, there are certain people who have no interest in learning what they're doing wrong; or even who fully understand that what they're doing is wrong, and have no interest in improving.

Examples: spammers, trolls, and the willingly-obtuse-slash-rules-lawyers (who are slightly separate from trolls, but are similarly un-educatable).

>But it was used as a selling point.

Yes. That's pretty much what I said. A lot of those using it as a selling point didn't actually care that much about the benefits to the state of a new taxation stream.

That said, I'm willing to believe that a lot of people assumed that people were willing to pay a lot more to go with a vetted legal source (or would only go with a vetted legal source) than has, in fact turned out to be the case.

There's at least some evidence I've read that suggests legalization hasn't led to a lot of increased use. If that's the case, it's reasonable to assume a lot of users already knew how to acquire pot in the black market and don't see a lot of reason to start spending more to go legal.

Diaz's account is entirely intended as a defense of his own actions. But he isn't trying to defend himself according to modern standards, at all! He admits that the conquistadors slaughtered non-military people for all sorts of reasons, took women as "wives" from conquered people, killed people just for believing in a different religion, lied and backstabbed, stole any valuables they could find. Everything we criticize the conquistadors for today, Bernal Diaz isn't even trying to defend.

What he spends all this time defending against is accusations that Cortes broke the rules of the Spanish monarchy, and that some other conquistador is actually the one who had the right to plunder the Aztec empire. Nobody really cares about that nowadays.

Also - it's pretty clear from Diaz's accounts that the Aztecs did not treat them like gods. There are a couple characters at some point who think they are some sort of monster because they haven't seen people on horseback before. But for the vast majority of the account, the conquistadors are explaining to the locals that they are warriors who serve a king that lives across the ocean, and the locals understand that.

And there's no reason why someone going to Snopes for an article at theonion.com or babylonbee.com can't be redirected or otherwise sent to an article covering the satire of the site. Nobody needs a separate Snopes article for every article produced by every satire site out there.

Given the amount of disinformation put out there by so many sources versus the relatively limited resources of Snopes, wasting time on stuff no one needs or wants is a mistake.

I'm wondering if a better model would be heavily moderated, crowdsourced fact-checking, like wikipedia.
There are two strategies for keeping cylinders cool in cruise: push the red mixture knob forward for a rich fuel/air mixture setting that uses unburned fuel to lower cylinder head temperatures, or pull the mixture knob out to such a lean setting that an abundance of air and reduction in engine power and heat cools the cylinders. Running aircraft engines “lean of peak” (LOP) typically reduces airspeed about 5 percent in cruise while lowering fuel consumption about 20 percent—but not all engines are capable of LOP operations, and doing it wrong can cause permanent and costly engine damage.
