I mean it is a failing of the manufacturer on some level. Not saying someone intentionally exploiting the car isn't also at fault, but I also don't think it's unrealistic to hold the manufacturer accountable as well.
People keep asserting that ownership of the data passed to the shop owner, but it's not at all clear that's the case.

1) Assuming Biden did bring and abandon the laptop, what do state laws generally say about data ownership? What does Delaware law say about it?

2) We can't assume it was Biden who brought the laptop. Suppose it was stolen: naively, I'd guess ownership can't pass to the store owner, because the person who brought it didn't own it in the first place. But who knows: IANAL. What if the laptop was legitimately owned by someone not Biden, but they stole Biden's data and moved it to the laptop before abandoning it?

3) Again naively, it appears that the shop owner definitely and Giuliani potentially distributed intimate videos of Hunter Biden without his consent. That would seem to run afoul of revenge porn laws, which are on the books in both Delaware (as of 2014) and New York (as of July 2019).

I don't know if the blanket assertions you're making are accurate or useful. At the very least, they need to be fleshed out, and there's way too little information available right now to say conclusively that the owner of the shop broke no laws.

I think you're too dismissive. I work in aerospace now. For the majority of parts, 3D printing is not the best process, whether it's due to strength or tolerance requirements, a standard profile or sheet being more suitable, and most importantly it often not being the most time or cost effective method. But some parts are well-suited to being 3D printed, and all of the design processes, review, analysis, testing and documentation you mentioned can be (and is) applied to 3D printed parts just like any other.

A few examples I've seen:

- 3D printed engineering plastic to transition honeycomb in a composite panel to another shape

- 3D printed engineering plastic housings for connectors, etc

- 3D printed titanium and aluminum component mounts. Designed using topology optimization, and therefore not really achievable using machining. Really useful when you've got a part mounted on an fixed interface plane, and after a few design changes, the part needs to be mounted 50cm away in a mass-efficient way.

- 3D printed blanks which then go to final machining. For metals this is not much different than casting + machining, but better suited when you need 10 parts rather than 1,000 and a gamechanger when you need 100 slightly different version of a part

- Jigs, moulds, test fixtures, prototype parts. 3D printing is a gamechanger here.

The problem is in the media, and often times in the maker community and therefore general public, "3D printing" is described as the one process that will replace all others. You don't need to take this notion of 3D-print-everything seriously, but 3D printing is here to stay in virtually every industry including aerospace.

I should note that I work in space, not aviation. Right now we are seeing more 3D printed parts on spacecraft every year. Most spacecraft are made in quantities of 1-2. Most aircraft are made in much larger quantities and so can benefit from all kinds of mass manufacturing techniques, meaning 3D printing is probably suitable less often. But not never. And a quick google search shows Boeing and Airbus are already using 3D printed parts for passenger flight today.
I actually tried that with NYTimes (I cancelled during the SlateStarCodex debacle) and it didn't work. Ultimately, I had setup payment via paypal and canceled the automatic payments.
What's equally hilarious to me is that this self-descriptive article, is being argued over by folks on this website, which was started by a man who also engaged in this style of writing.

I was checked by an ENT doctor and I'm keeping in touch with her.

She told me she had a patient who went completely deaf after COVID and others complaining about tinnitus and that she's seen this before with other viral infections.

Yet there were no article "First romanian man goes deaf after COVID-19" (and people replying "shuuut up, its just one guy, this is circumstantial"). -- my point being, given the chances I heard of the only man going deaf being minuscule, the most likely explanation is there must be(many) others -- but given the current focus, lack of treatment and difficulty in linking the covid with ear problems, there is limited research going on.
You sound like a huge faggot.

“Experts at The Aerospace Corporation calculated much lower odds of collision: just 1 in 23 billion as of Thursday morning, with the objects projected to miss each other by about 70 meters (230 feet).”

There is some pretty fancy high precision measurements going on to be able to predict orbits of space junk that accurately.

Well you have now heard of a critical productive employee complaining about not being in an office. I am one of those guys who delivers faster than anyone and to a high quality standard, and I hate WFH permanently. While I enjoy no commute, I miss being around colleagues.

I prefer some combination of WFH and working in-office.
I've seen commenters on HN that claim that the emails are suspect because they don't include DKIM signatures. Redacting the email would make it even more suspicious in their eyes.
Right, but in return those Americans are getting transportation that actually takes them from point A to point B directly.

It's very hard to really gauge the impact this has on human productivity, especially given that in public transit you don't need to control your vehicle and so can be doing something else (although from my anecdotal experience, the vast majority of public transiters are doing nothing productive or interesting on their commutes).

But then there is also that, when a global pandemic happens and localities lockdown public transit, people with cars can still go places (like a National Park).

Point being, the problem is absolutely not one-dimensional and so just comparing aggregate expense is not very useful at all.

I think the goal for transport should be to maximize human productivity and mobility, and given the above and other realities, that almost always means a strong hybrid approach, not one where you relegate cars to a lesser status.

> leaders are currently gaming the populous rather than leading them, and that this is so obvious to everybody that trust in leadership and institutions has gone out the window

I agree with that assessment. My limited and probably wrong interpretation of history indicates that in general, behavior will now tend towards revolutionary.
How exactly is it authoritarian to say that the press secretary for the president of the United States shouldn't have their means of communications, on what's become essentially a public commons, rate limited by a corporation? The problem with your argument, and frankly more than half of the arguments in this clusterfuck of a comment thread, is that if we want to go that way we have to argue in favor of corporate sovereignty given the power these companies have. That's gross to me, for probably a dozen or so reasons.
I think I captured the essential steps of the process. Yes, parts of it (in particular, mob/group behavior) I would characterise as manifestations of insanity, but most of the steps are very rationally planned and executed. You could add Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" if you want more detail on the "how it is done" part:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_for_Radicals#The_Rules
That wording is the main reason I think it’s true (though other info points to it being false).

Why wouldn’t Biden just simply deny the story if the meeting never took place?
Great question. I also wonder how much of it is an eye for talent vs just _believing_ in people. My guess is it's a mix.

Some of the best managers and mentors I've met have a combination of both an eye for talent but also an ability to truly believe in someone, and sometimes just having someone believe in you can really turn someone's confidence, career, and even life around.
In civilian aviation, or in military training and peacetime operations, sure, but in a fly-or-die situation, like the one described in the article where supply lines are compromised, the ability to print and use a part for emergency use could be a literal lifesaver. It's analogous to replacing fuses with copper bars before entering combat (in some scenarios).

> without being accountable to the public

Edit (I should have included this), Disclosure: I work at Google Cloud and have worked with folks at Twitter (but never their policy teams or anything).

I would say that compared to many cable news sources, the mean time to response of Twitter and Facebook is actually better. No media company is perfect. Unfortunately, no media company is particularly accountable to the public (anymore).

It’s fair (right?) to be concerned about control of media. I think it’s less clear that Twitter is less accountable, less responsive, or more impactful than other major media sources.

Sure, but fair use is a defense that needs to be argued. You can probably argue that the New York Post publishing excerpts from some of the emails should be protected by fair use. I don't see how you can argue that the store owner is protected by fair use or how the Post releasing and profiting off previously unpublished full photos of Hunter Biden qualify as fair use.
Yes. We could have. But that would be point to point. We have done point to multipoint (thats why its called a hotspot). We had villages and remote areas in mind.
I think the concept of the line of death, from browser security UI design, is relevant here. The space outside of the highway right of way is completely uncontrolled and the Tesla should know better than to look at a billboard hundreds of feet up in the air for regulatory signs. The MUTCD has rules about where signs are to be placed--look only in those places.

Wait, so the idea is basically, don't trust ur ISP? Have you tried Craig from Bosnia?
It's perfectly plausible that the Biden campaign has no idea if they're authentic or not, because neither he nor anyone on his campaign were on them. The only people who actually know if they're authentic or not are Hunter Biden, the sender, and anyone who has the emails. Which, incidentally, includes the NYP, who could mathematically prove their authenticity instantly by simply publishing them in the raw. In fact, if the NYP did any due diligence at all, they already verified the emails themselves. Which raises the question: why are they publishing just the images?

My bet is that the NYP didn't bother to verify the emails, because they don't even know how to do basic due diligence on these types of things. (I would guess they're authentic though, FWIW.)
A lot of sound and fury. Twitter can enforce whatever arbitrary rules it likes on content posted within its system, it owes no explanation to anyone. You sign up to those rules when you join.

If I were the author I'd stop at this point and think that perhaps the best way to curb Twitter's power to shape narrative according to their subjective desires is to stop using Twitter to shape narrative...
This is exactly right.
If FB, Twitter or HN apply their Terms of service rules selectively (or that the ToS are biased against specific political candidates or groups or opinions) -- then they are not a neutral platform.

If they are not a neutral platform, these companies must not be able to claim protections reserved for neutral platforms (like this section 230).

It is the same as a for-profit business must not claim same tax benefits as a Non-profit Charity. If they do, their execs will likely face jail time.

Systemic violoaters, would face more jail time.
Yes that would have been my initial thought as well

Crashes that we normally care about and intuitively understand happen in one dimensional space. (roads)

Two dimensions, not so much. Examples outside of shipping lanes or being close to shore (~ one dimension still) would be interesting.

Three dimensions, not really heard of.

Even when you hear about a "Airship tether severs Cessna wing, killing three" that's back to two dimensional space and I suspect not totally random.
The campaign's original response was the nonsense about the official schedule. This politico reporter managed a better response:

"Biden’s campaign would not rule out the possibility that the former VP had some kind of informal interaction with Pozharskyi, which wouldn’t appear on Biden’s official schedule. But they said any encounter would have been cursory. Pozharskyi did not respond to a request for comment."

Isn't it amazing? Speculative past tense! "Would have been"!

I think the most likely scenario is that he went on a bender (he has well known substance abuse problems) and locked himself out, dropped it off to get it fixed, and forgot about it. This seems much more plausible than some of the other extremely complex theories which assume that, ahem, Rudy Gulianni (of all people) was able to plan a years long scam to procure this particular computer.
Tesla logs so much data and stores it and has used it to defend itself in various legal / PR matters. I wonder if they would catch it if someone did this. Or maybe suddenly they wouldn't have that data lol

I don't think so. Uncurated GPT-3 output is generally very noticeable because it is unable to hold coherence for an article of this length, and will often make the same points over and over in slight variations and sometimes even contradict itself. I see none of that in this article. I do agree that the general "feel" of the text is similar to reading GPT-3 output, but this seems to be just because the author has a somewhat rambling argumentation style. (I can relate; my own tendency is to ramble on loosely related topics when writing down my thoughts.)

This could of course be curated GPT-3 content, but sufficiently curated GPT-3 output is indistinguishable from human writing, so there's little reason to criticize the article on those grounds.

edit: Well, inspecting the site some more, I agree that there's a moderate chance that this is a test run for a process or a program that uses some kind of novel technique to get GPT-3 or some other LM to produce more coherent essays. I'm still about 80% confident there's a human in the loop, though.

Google One was absolutely a nightmare experience for me. I signed up at launch, the service had severe issues syncing things. Took almost a week to sync backups that took Dropbox maybe a day. Then it kept flagging a ton of errors that basically said a bunch of my files couldn't be backed up. I talked to support and you do connect to a real person, but there was nothing they could do. then requested a refund, they didn't have the power to do that either. So it got escalated. I was told someone would reach out to me. That never happened. I contacted support again. Rinse, wash, and repeat I don't know how many times over a few weeks before the refund finally processed. During this time I talked to a manager who similarly had no authority to do anything. I was convinced support, though is a live person, has very limited authority and is really other there to relay basics on the product.
