Meta: These are the karma burning comments that take some effort to cite (usually typed from my phone) and are generally left without response, non-sequitur, or circular citation.

My personal opinion is that all major news outlets (Fox included) can not be taken at face value, requiring an unreasonable amount of research to determine what’s actually happening in current events. It’s not even just major events, it’s even happening at the local level. Our local newspaper monopoly reported that our neighborhood school district was opening last week with no evidence and after the board had just decided to delay opening. It’s unclear there was an agenda or just sloppy reporting, but this was then used by parents to as evidence to pressure their own districts to open. None issue public retractions or corrections anymore, just stealth edits.

Then I come to a place like HN where I find critical thinkers in nearly every aspect except current events which have become so polluted by political bias. We get it,
conservatives need to shut up and tow the line. I’m getting too old for that. Facts can stand on their own outside opinion. /getoffmylawn

Basically they were pushing the narrative that Manning only leaked info which put US personal in danger. That his leaks didn't really reveal any human rights violations.
Many voted Trump not because he is ideal but because he is a republican (on paper at least) or because he seemed to be somehow better than Hillary. And it will happen again. Here on HN many are upvoting not because of party affiliation (many of us are from outside US) but because of mans works. If Trump wants to pardon Assange on condition - to get material to fight against democrats - and not on principle, then you may get a picture of what kind of a person he is! He is (just) a trader, not a man of principle... (unless this principle is called trading)
Do not clear them, you can‘t eat the cake and have it.
From the article is sounds like several commercial services (like background checks) are using this data in very high volume. The charges may simply have been put in place to offset the cost of serving these high volume customers.

Should the US government subsidize the commercial interests by providing unlimited access for free? Or, is it their duty to provide the information for free to any citizen or US company as a function of the government?
One option available: add momentum very efficiently on the tether.

Rockets have to balance their specific impulse (efficiency) against their need for massive amounts of thrust immediately. You can't take off from the ground using an ion thruster, despite what Kerbal Space Program tells us.

But a tether system in orbit could be using a very efficient engine to gain momentum over a very long period of time (months, years, etc). Give it large solar arrays or a small nuclear plant on-board. It's getting a much better exchange rate on that delta-V than the rocket, which needs to fight earth's gravity and air resistance.
I just rinse produce before using it, like I should anyway. I do wipe down groceries that go in the refrigerator or freezer that aren't produce though, although I'm slowly running out of disinfectant wipes (we did manage to grab some hand wipes the other day, hopefully those are safe to use). I no longer wipe down anything non-perishable, just let it sit in quarantine for a few days before using it.
Right, that is exactly how it works. If your signal to the first IC isn't perfect, and it isn't with a 3.3v signal, you can end up with incorrect colors or shifted patterns.

As you add more LEDs you have a greater chance of one at the end not lighting up or having incorrect colors throughout the string.

0.7 * 5v == 3.5v, and 3.3 < 3.5. You're out of spec for the part and can't expect it to work reliably.
The number on RTX Titan for fp16 is actually a bit foreign to me (3.5x faster than fp32). Not sure what's going on (maybe they tweaked batch size to fit more in GPU memory?). Need to wait more comprehensive ones.

Queston: why has the whole cookie notification/gdpr thing not been solved on a protocol level? In the end it's not the website that stores the cookie but the browser. Shouldn't the browsers be forced to prompt the user everytime a cookie is written to disk/send back to the server? Then the UI could be unified and some header "Cookie-Explanation" or domain.tld/.well-known/cookies.txt could be provided for the browser to parse and present the user with more detailed explanation for each cookie provided by the site. Unexplained cookies could be presented as a warning/error forcing the websites to deliver good explanations matching the cookie duration/content. The user could fine tune settings per cookie and can be notified if a site adds new cookies not seen before. Same for local storage.

I'm now +50/yo (SWM) and have had out LGBTQ friends, family, schoolmates, coworkers most of my life. One of my cousins did gender reassignment 30 years ago.

On one hand I can't believe we're still talking about this stuff. On the other, I felt like I needed to understand what people are arguing about today. (Recommendations please.)

For instance, to better accommodate some of my besties, I've been actively practicing using singular they pronouns in my every day speech. Old dog, new tricks. Fortunately, they're patient with me.

I keep thinking about something Marilyn Manson said in the aftermath of Columbine. The reactionaries were blaming angry music and video games. (Of course.) Michael Moore asked Manson what he'd say to the kids. Manson replied that he wouldn't say anything, that he'd just listen. I agree.

So whenever one of these social, cultural food fights flares up, I really don't give two shits what commentators think. I already know what the peanut gallery thinks. I can't not know.

Rather, I just want to hear from the people affected.

Every company have an official GDPR contact person, who is trained for their industry, for this very purpose, it's not rocket science. I debunked this in literally 15 seconds on the official gdpr website.

How is GDPR different than the other hundred thousands laws regulating medical companies ? GDPR isn't the first law they have to worry about, it's probably not even remotely close to the most complex regulations applied to medical research. They're used to deal with very convoluted texts of law, I'm sure they can figure a list of 5 bullet points...

> but the damage is done: "Better safe than sorry, just apply GDPR to all data collections".

I don't even understand your logic to be honest, do you think any high level person working in a medical research company in Europe would have this line of thought ? If it's the case I hope everyone in charge of that specific organisation gets replaced real quick. You're telling me your "Ethics committee" is OK with injecting experimental drugs to people who can potentially ask them to delete all contact information (thus endangering them in case side effects are discovered) but they would not be OK with getting familiar with the law ? I have a hard time seeing how that works
> this does happen in the case of some diseases

Which disease is being cured by your body entirely and then comes back 2 years later with long term effects?

> We don't know what the long term effects might be

Isn't this true for everything though? How do you know if there are any long term effects for a new developed vaccine? Does it mean out of fear that theoretically anything in life can suddenly unexpectedly cause long term effects that you are not going to do anything which hasn't been done by other humans for at least 10-20 years? People don't know about long term effects of cellular data, yet we are using it every day.

Given that nobody has any long term effects from COVID which are different from other post viral issues seen with the flu and normal colds I think it's more pragmatic to assume that COVID will also behave very similar to other coronaviruses like the common cold.

You really only need the US to implement it as they're the consumer kings of the world. You can't just go sell a million SUV's to the Russians or Europeans or Ethiopians because you didn't want to pay the carbon tax in the US.
Most negotiations in life are obtaining as much of what you desire with providing as little in return possible. If you don't have your own interests at heart, no one else will. How you approach geopolitical interactions with each country is going to vary, but that's the gist. With that said, I believe we have differing belief systems, and nothing productive will come from continuing the discussion. I expressed my viewpoint to demonstrate it exists (which is a contrarian view in the HN echo chamber).

EDIT: (throttled by HN, can't reply to below comment)

> what are you doing regularly posting (in dissent) in a community that, in your own words, holds a globally contrarian view to yours?

I enjoy the interactions and discussions. I'm not winning hearts and minds but I don't pretend it matters.
Systemic racism is real but I don't even know what "every point of inequality" means.

Uhhh isn't palmer luckey a Trump supporter? And Kanye west? Plus a bunch of rich old folks back home. Lol obviously not all Trump supporters are trailer park (do you mean poor?), My experience at protests in LA alone would make it absurd to believe that.

Thug is a racist dog whistle. Is property damage an improper response to murder? Yet conservatives defend a kid that committed murder after traveling to protests to "protect property," so I guess murder is an appropriate response to property damage.

Are you not reading reports from yesterday wherein intelligence community members are warning congress about russian influence in the upcoming election? You make me suspect the only "evidence" you'll accept is Putin being caught with his fingers literally in the guts of a voting machine.

Trump passed a couple democrat written prison reform bills that vaguely helped the black community, but his DOJ is specifically targeting those early release people for reconviction, so it's moot.

I don't really care about Flynn.

I guess I don't fit into the clean little Other that Rupert murdoch defined for you?

In the case of COVID, I don't think we need two years. My wife had COVID a few months ago and got beat up pretty badly.

She would be the last person you would think would get seriously ill - she eats only healthy food, is(was) a Crossfit rat, vitamins, meditation. She checks all the boxes for a healthy lifestyle and some).

We would go on 30 miles bike rides often and now she can't go up a hill mounted on the bike anymore. She was still going to a Crossfit gym that was (illegally) open during the pandemic but just for sanity. She couldn't do much of the workouts.

That was up to three weeks ago. One day she woke up with a swollen leg and has gone to three doctors already and is going to another to try to find why her leg is that way.

My suspicion is that COVID affected her circulatory system and is caused the problem that she is having on her leg. I hope that it's not the case, but this worry is enough to lose some sleep.
>Well, getting certain infections as a child will cause permanent damage that continues into adulthood. And increasing the likelihood of getting infections also increases the likelihood of getting a particularly bad one.

It could certainly happen but does it happen in most case ?

>Also, if living in a dirty environment led to better immune systems, we'd observe people from developing nations with poor hygienic standards growing up to have super immune systems

But that is what I observe, people who move from outside of that environment, tend to get sick easily compare to people who been living there all the time but over time their immune system adapt and chance to get sick decrease.

> Or people that work in hospitals would never get sick after so many years on the job

Of course they would still can get sick, but maybe they have less tendency to become sick compared to the general population ?

>Vaccines are a much, much more effective way

Well, of course, since its purpose built method
The Forgotten Man
That’s how the explicit narrative goes.

The implicit one we can never admit to is something like: Instagrammer has a different sensitivity for 200ms than the dev and never cared.

Dev has to justify his egregious salary by manufacturing statistics to “experiment with engagement” nevermind the literal reality of having such a gadget is titillating as is, manufacturing belief that specific dev making a camera respond 200ms faster is what really made the app is where that paper is.
maybe the "followers" you know don't go into detail about policy because they can tell you just think they are motivated by hatred and bigotry and know that any detailed discussion with you will be pointless.

"don't cast your pearls before swine" and all that. Why waste the energy having a detailed discussion with someone who has preconceived biases and won't listen anyways?
Is there any virus not imperiled by UV light?
It's more complicated than "banned," but if you want the details, I can give them.

In short, you can't use non-essential cookies unless you have consent. Companies want to use non-essential cookies, so they're trying to pressure users to consent by using things like pop-up banners. But the current definition of "consent" basically says that if you're pressuring users, then the consent isn't valid.

It's perfectly fine to not have a banner and not track users. It's perfectly fine to have a non-blocking infobox at the bottom asking for consent. A big ol' blocking banner than mandates user action for non-essential tracking... I don't think it's actually illegal (although there's currently lawsuits ongoing about paywalls), but it doesn't achieve what it's trying to achieve, which is collecting user consent.
Ah, this is what exclusive by design really means.

Rust offers a few things over Node in my experience:
- Super fast startup
- Single binary distribution (you can integrate your static assets with rust-embed)
- Minuscule ram consumption (0.5MB for a graphql server)
- Cargo build system is much easier to work with than webpack
- No mismatches between TS types and JS source

However the big caveat is the documentation and libraries are still quite lacking
> A powerful, pragmatic, and extremely fast web framework for Rust

In case anybody, like me, didn't know.
I want to love Rust but my biggest pain point was trying to produce a simple enough REST web service, initially with Actix, though I think I was trying to use it at a time where the docs were not in sync with what was released at the time. Not sure if this has changed, but I'd be willing to give Actix another try again if that's the case.

RTX 2080 - 10 TFLOPS, 448 GB/s

RTX 3080 - ~30 TFLOPS, 760 GB/s

So for most things compute you'd expect anywhere from 70 % to 200 % performance increase. Note the significant increase in operational intensity in this generation, to about 160 FLOps per Float Load/Store (up from ~90). The fact that we're not seeing 200 % increase more widely can point at things like this being a problem for existing applications (so RTX 3080 is _even more_ memory constrained as previous cards [1]), and perhaps also some applications struggling feeding enough work items / scheduling issues in general.

[1] Alternative view: Even more operations you can do for free when you have to process a given buffer anyway!
Anchoring bias is a powerful thing. As far as I can tell, most people think of themselves (in the System 1 sense) as representative of normal, no matter how rich or poor they are.
There's a reason it's the commerce department doing these things. We do not have strong legal frameworks around data privacy (we should but that's a different battle). We do have controls for foreign entities who recklessly abuse our system and this is that control.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Now, realistically, it probably was not made in a lab. But it is not true that we know that.
We-Chat and TikTok are without argument tools of an oppressive regime and therefore constitute intolerance one needs not tolerate, both conceptually and as products.

Is the USA the right regime to morally champion this cause? It the real reason for these bans even remotely associated with this moral objective? I'll leave that up to the reader.

But: with what's happening at the behest of the people who ultimately and directly control the censorship and data of these applications, there is no further difficulty in applying "intolerance to intolerance" in this case.

Yes, that has been the common factor in most incidents. Chernobyl being the exception, they didn't manage even manage to get the control rods fully inserted before the shit hit the fan (poor reactor and control rod design).

Still, the British AGCRs were recently fitted with articulating control rods because if the reactor core was damaged they might not be able to insert them normally.

If he received the emails from someone with direct access to them - e.g. someone who worked for the DNC - Occam's Razor would suggest a lack of Russian involvement.

I've watched the Krystal and Saagar show a few times. It's pretty good, if a little too predictable.

I don't own a TV or watch cable news; I get most of my news from feeds like AP or Reuters, then try to decide for myself what I think before reading some commentary/analysis.

It's a little worrying to hear things like "[...], if you watch sources like Jimmy Dore over a period of months, it starts to become obvious." This is exactly how conspiracy theories and other quackery work. People get fed up with the mainstream and seek out alternative narratives about how the world _really_ works, then over time cede so much factual ground that their frame of reference becomes broken. This is exactly how people get into flat earth, 9/11 was an inside job, etc.

A slightly better "alternative" might be a news org like The Intercept or a writer like Matt Taibbi. Both are highly ideological but fairly constrained by the facts.
That is very true, but consider that we are speaking via the medium of text and text alone. You should make it clear whether you are citing something to support your claim and merely say the claim exists, because there is no tone of voice to convey.
