I would recommend watching different sources. The corporate press in the US is basically always going to support the war machine. The major political parties are only nominally against war when they're not in power. Tim Pool and Jimmy Dore come to mind as two news commentators who are consistently anti-war. Tim is center-left and Jimmy is far left. If right wing/extreme libertairan anti-war is more your style, you might like Dave Smith.

I wonder if people are paying more in a patron or only fans way. Supporting it as an attack on their least favorite blue check mark.

Also, I wonder if more of the value of the blackmail could captured with an auction mechanic; as in donate to X for public release or donate to Y to keep it private at a certain time the account with the most money wins. This mechanic could be manipulated behind the scenes for even more money.
I wonder how much space you'd save if you excluded repos with only 1 star or only 1 commit.
> Whatever happened to "we're all in this together"?

Because we are not in this together. I like working in collaborative environments but after switching jobs more times than I can count I've become more cynical.

- Co-workers are not your friends.

- HR is not your friend.

- Management is not your friend.

It's a business relationship and in the eyes of the corporate structure you are just a fungible resource being consumed to produce shareholder value. Some companies do a great job of creating a "culture" but even in these companies it's only a thin veneer over the machiavellian tactics that keep the corporate machine chugging along.
Writing a Compelling Resumé
Excel is a pain. It's annoying to open - if I already have Excel open and try open another Excel document I often have to click into a cell in the currently opened Excel document for the new document to open.

It's also a pain closing as it prompts do I want to save. Saving as a CSV is a pain, it takes two prompts to save as a CSV.

File recovery is also a pain.
This is so awesome, but the most surprising to me is that all the public source code on GitHub only totals 21 TB.

I forget that they do fundamentally host text, and not video etc.

I somehow thought it would be petabytes. The private repos might be more than that but those are historically paid.

Maybe we are talking about different incidents then because the one that comes to mind is Alec Holowka, where there were multiple instances of abuse and his own sister believes he did what he's accused of. Those who fired him specifically state it was not because of a "single flimsy accusation", so I guess you're talking about something else?

I purchased a relatively cheap one from Amazon a couple of months ago. Less than $50, I believe.

I tried some simple stuff when it arrived. I believe I was able to get it to swing within the 94-99% range by holding my breath and by deliberate, deep breathing, over the span of just a minute or two. It definitely was not pegged at 99%. The changes were surprisingly fast. My wife was able to get the same response.

That, plus policy instability like the recent H-1B ban. Effect of instability is amplified by the long wait --- the longer you wait, the more likely some policy changes and hurt your bottom line. It is true that something good could happen too, but (1) the current "climate" does not suggest that (2) a H-1B holder with a priority date has more to lose than to gain (through policy changes).
In a 1000 years people will surely benefit from the millions of copy-pasted dotfiles :^)
Pragmatically, the terminology used affects how people end up treated.

Both therepeutically, and how they are interacted with socially.

If we say it's a chemical imbalance, chemicals will be sought to correct the imbalance, and effective suggestions that require other people to change will be met with resistance.

If we say it's people in distress, other people will start to reflect and accept they play a role in causing the distress and be a bit more open to changing their behaviour.

The best "treatment" is, of course, a combination of things tailored to individual and circumstance. But widespread language greatly affects what is available in practice.

I agree. My opinion now is actually that the more a person posts "happy" photos on Facebook/Instagram, the sadder/unfulfilled they actually are IRL.
Russia, as an ailing/former superpower, is quite sensitive to foreign incursions into its sphere of influence, especially the former USSR. Its wars against Ukraine and Georgia were motivated in large part by the fact that said countries were maneuvering closer to NATO and the West, for example. Conflict between Russia and China over expanding Chinese influence in Central Asia (given Chinese investment into infrastructure there) is not impossible.

Another flashpoint between Russia and China could well be the Russian Far East; Russia has long been pretty paranoid that China is going to try to claim the land as its own.
In China's case, "spreading democracy" just meant "remove from Soviet sphere." We broadly used the same term at the same time to open trade with China and fight the Vietnam War.
Journalism has always involved the outlets having a broad social/political position and each story being spun to get attention.

The claim to impartiality and unbiased-ness was indeed a way for certain papers to enhance their credibility and it's been concentrated more in the US than other countries, where each political party having a newspaper is a situation that doesn't raise eyebrows (still, papers in other countries do sometimes try for the mantle of objectivity, independence and so).

That said, there are degrees of spin and non-spin. The papers that make up stories are below those that exaggerate facts who are below those that get the facts correct but use "framing" to put forward their positions.

I think mass support for false facts is new for the industrializing world. It's kind of a throwback to times of pernicious superstition. And the result one can imagine are thus disturbing.
Social media disrupted journalism in a way that can only be described as a net negative. Tbh it was headed that way with news cycles getting ever shorter. Twitter and other sites like it (including this one) have shortened that to the minimum we can achieve today given the tech available. Within minutes any idiot with a megaphone can make themselves heard with a voice that is just as loud as a carefully researched piece of work, and quite possibly reach more people if the right trigger buttons are pushed.

Democracy has survived quite a few assaults, let's hope that if the 5th estate dies it will manage to hang on. I get a lot of mileage out of social media but it isn't without its problems and they're hard to solve. But TV and before it radio (and before that print) were quite disruptive in their own right and depending on who you ask the outcome was fine.
It's an threat in some people's imagination.
i disagree there. sure you have to wade thru a lot of garbage, but the amount of truly insightful posts still make it worth going to for me. on some of the less popular, more focused boards, the general discussion quality is pretty high.

I think the issue we're all dancing around is that state lines really need to be re-cut. The rural areas have more in common with each other, the urban areas have more in common with each other.

Cut the urban areas into their own states (eg take the metro NYC or Chicago area and make them their own states) and then merge a lot of the "empty land" in between to try and equalize the population somewhat. End up with somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 urban states and 15 rural states.

I will concede that cheaper ceramic knives may chip easily but I have been using my set for about 6 years without any issues. The very first cheap ceramic knife I got chipped because I inadvertently dropped it from counter height on a tile floor. My stainless steel knives now just sit idle in drawers and I don't miss them one bit - haven't used one in years.
I never thought of myself as depressed. Then I tried to sign up to be part of a Stanford Study, and the person reviewing my answers to a questionnaire rejected me for depression and said I should get help.

It was absolutely shocked at the time. But in hindsight the frequency with which I considered ending my life should have been a clue.
Dropbox is not involved with Zulip. I'm not sure we've ever posted a good canonical write-up of that story, but here's a version I wrote a couple of years ago:

Am I misreading this: the conclusion is that the lowest earners cannot afford 40th percentile rents?
Part of the reason I brought this up was that this is roughly how Zulip was first described to me, and my experience with threads in Slack made that sound really unappealing, which led me to avoid trying Zulip for quite some time. Once I finally tried it, it was completely different than I expected, and much better.

Although I like the idea of stopping the insane susbidies given to private automobile transport I do not like the narrow, bi-directional bike lanes that this article is illustrated with.

When I cycle I want the option to ride side-by-side chatting with a friend or family member. I do not want to be squashed into a narrow single-occupancy lane with a concrete delimiter (or parked cars) stuck behind someone else going slowly.

There is a simple solution: let everyone faster than a pedestrian onto the roads; introduce presumed liability (similar to the Netherlands); lower the speed limit for cars, charge the operators a price that reflects the climate destruction (and whatever the going price for a few hundred thousand 3rd-World children blown to shit is these days).
If you're looking for dirt, you want to be the only one with the dirt to maximize potential for selling or blackmailing with said dirt. If you've found an exploit and exfiltrated the dirt that you care about, you might want to ensure that the exploit gets patched to stop others from being able to gain access to the dirt.
Worth posting the whole description, because it's... really quite something.

> The LVNR® is the number one law enforcement system of neck restraint --standing, kneeling or on the ground. If your agency is now using or considering the use of neck restraints for officer safety and subject control, then the copyrighted and US Patent Office registered NLETC/KCMO PD LVNR® is the one method you need to assess. It has been extensively field and medically tested and has proven to be safer, more effective, and less controversial than any other known neck restraint method. That is why the NLETC/KCMO PD LVNR® is the predominant method of neck control, and is now being adopted nationwide by those law enforcement agencies that teach ground defense/control systems.

> Agencies and trainers should avoid the use of single-level, or time limit approved neck restraint methods since their use has resulted in all the claims of excessive force, death, and resultant litigation involving neck restraint use. Combined arm, neck and body controls are not as effective for most officers as the direct, rear, neck-specific compression which requires minimum physical effort for LVNR® vs. maximum physical exertion for other methods. Our statistics show that 50% of all subjects will cease resistance at Level One with low-level compression on the sides of the neck; 25% will comply at Level Two with medium compression on the neck; and the other 25% will comply at Level Three or be rendered unconscious in 4 to 7 seconds. Result: No death, injury or litigation for excessive use of force for 40 years against agencies using the certified Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint (LVNR®) System!

> The NLETC is the sole-source provider for the LVNR® System. No other training provider is entitled to teach the LVNR® System to user agencies or to include the term LVNR® as their own when teaching other neck restraint systems. Contact the NLETC if you plan to adopt the LVNR® System.

Interesting. You're probably not the right person to ask about this sort of thing and I should probably stick with a doctor's opinion, but you may have a better intuition than I do about the reliability of these things' readings.

Suppose I use a pulse oximeter and I get readings of 90%, 91%, 92%, and 99%, all taken ~one minute apart.

Is it most likely that I am fine and there were some issues either with the hardware or its administration? Or is it possible to get spurious high readings?

For what it's worth I had this same experience at the doctor's today for my physical.

Actually, it's over 300GB for Bitcoin and almost 85GB for Monero today.

Regardless of that, I recently synced Monero from scratch in 3 hours, over a 802.11n network that never seems to do better than ~75Mbps. We can extrapolate that Bitcoin would be done in something like 9.5 hours. So I don't know where you got a week from.

If you still don't like that, you can always use a remote node, in which case you can begin using a new account literally immediately, even better than your 30 minutes at a bank.

IMHO that is a perfectly fine tradeoff for a new user who doesn't want to commit to syncing the blockchain. Nevertheless, when I deal with new, non-technical users in the Monero community, I find that they almost always prefer to run their own fully synced node, even though they understand the tradeoff (i.e., that using a remote node is probably fine). I even had a guy that has no computer, phone only, looking for help on setting up a full node on his phone.

Anecdotal perhaps, but it certainly makes me skeptical of the claim that blockchain size is a big hurdle for many people at all.

Oh yeah, and just for completeness: you can prune the blockchain with both Bitcoin and Monero if storage space is a concern, reducing it by something like 70%.
ambition or "importance" don't always manifest in the early stages of a startup (they probably usually don't). Shopify started as a snowboard selling company and I'm sure that the founders here pitched YC a larger vision that was appreciated.
Max Schrems[1]: “The Court clarified for a second time now that there is a clash between EU privacy law and US surveillance law. As the EU will not change its fundamental rights to please the NSA, the only way to overcome this clash is for the US to introduce solid privacy rights for all people – including foreigners. Surveillance reform thereby becomes crucial for the business interests of Silicon Valley."

"This judgment is not the cause of a limit to data transfers, but the consequence of US surveillance laws. You can’t blame the Court for saying the unavoidable - when shit hits the fan, you can’t blame the fan."

Studies from Europe should allay fears about schools contributing to the spread of the virus: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/apa.15371 https://www.thelocal.no/20200511/opening-schools-has-not-rek...

If open schools is one of the main drivers of the epidemic, then teachers in Sweden, were elementary schools never closed, should be infected at a much higher rate than the rest of the population. That has not been the case, hence schools are likely not one of the main drivers of the epidemic.

Big caveat being that the Nordic countries have very generous sick leave rules. Parents get paid for staying home with sick children.

The kids will already have to deal with the consequences of climate change. Also robbing them of education and social development because we failed to properly isolate senior citizens if cruel and unjust.
Bad idea to let friends in on it, as one of them may mess up.
Newspapers used to have very geographically limited competition in advertising for things like apartment rentals, for-sale listings, and job listings. They also got a fair bit of national brand advertising, even after TV eclipsed them. The lack of competition enabled them to do things that don't make money -- like in-depth investigative journalism. A newspaper that contained only meaty investigative journalism could not cover its costs with advertising, even back in 1990.

This is similar to how today's high-margin advertising funded companies (e.g. Google, Facebook) can afford to pursue out-there projects with no prospect of making money in the short term. Investigative journalism was a vanity/halo product that usually didn't make money, funded by people overpaying to advertise in the newspaper.

In a case of perfect competition and low barriers to entry, newspapers have to prioritize minimally expensive content as a supporting scaffold for advertising. Newspapers are much closer to this "perfect competition" case now than they were in 1990. (A very few newspapers like the New York Times achieved "escape velocity" to reach a national audience on the strength of their reporting.) Likewise, if Google were up against a dozen other nearly-as-good search engines, neither it nor its competitors would have the luxurious cash surpluses for "moonshot" projects.

The golden ages of AT&T and IBM were also back when they enjoyed monopolistic pricing power. They could afford to do Nobel Prize winning research instead focusing slavishly on cost efficiency. They overcharged everyone, and a bit of that surplus money was reinvested in scientific research and product quality that was higher than what an equilibrated competitive market would converge on.

I wouldn't give AT&T a telephone monopoly again just to bring back Bell Telephone Laboratories. But certain kinds of positive externalities seem to emerge only from businesses enjoying fat margins and high pricing power. One of those positive externalities, in the case of newspapers in the 20th century, was deep reporting.

I disagree with some of the things that this article is saying since there are ways to fundamentally do the same scam, but not make it so incredibly obvious that it's a scam. Or, the user could cause disruption in other markets that are not obvious.

1. Change the order of who they targeted. The hacker started by attacking Elon Musk and a few other high profile celebrities. But, later in the hack, they tweeted from Mr. Beasts profile, a Youtuber who is known for giving away large sums of money. If they had started with Mr Beast, then there would be a lot less skepticism and a lot more confusion, since it would have been a lot more likely to not actually be a scam in users minds.

2. Target poorly regulated markets. Theres a decent amount of Liquidity on the betting market for the US presidential election on betfair. Have Biden tweet something out about him dropping out due to heart problems, have the Reuters/AP tweet a breaking news article confirming it, bada bing bada boom millions of dollars coming your way. Its not like the only liquid markets are well regulated. It looks like a hack thats designed to scare people for political points, but you can make money off it.
That appears to be debunking an entirely separate graph with different numbers and likely different flaws.
