> Instead of blaming fake news and misinformation for the 2016 elections outcome, maybe the Democrats should look themselves in the mirror.

Uh, that's not what left-leaning people are blaming the election results on. That's what right-leaning people claim left-leaning people blamed it on.

Left-leaning people blame the election result on racism, sexism, xenophobia, and intolerance. Donald J. "Grab 'em by the pussy" / "look at my large hands" / "birther in chief" / "interrupting cow" Trump is the direct result of the hatred that has been pouring out of talk radio and Fox News for the last several decades.
This should be a Chrome DevTools extension. On that note, isn't this feature already built into Chrome DevTools?
Best I’ve heard for the primate-cruelty phenomenon is “the brain seeks stimulation.”

First-world countries are spoiled and don’t have to make do - easy to run over the latest iPhone with your car and get 1.3M clicks. I agree; it’s lazy.

Not Russian, but as a Hacker News old timer: “old soviet tools restoration” [sic] by “Great idea” on YouTube is what you’re after. (Restoration of rusty old anvil.) It’s very hacker meta... building child tools to fix the parent tools is heartwarming, and at some level reminds me of many a build script.
EMV has a negotiation step. As is often the case this step is flawed, but generally the idea is the card (well the chip on the card) and the terminal get to negotiate about what's going to happen next.

So I think it's possible for a card to insist upon doing a PIN transaction if that's possible, while still retaining the ability to authorize a no-PIN transaction if the terminal says it doesn't do PINs.

It's also possible for the card or the terminal to have value-related thresholds, in line with the issuer's appetite for risk so e.g. maybe a bag of chips from a vending machine with no PIN is a risk the bank can live with, but a $3000 diamond engagement ring not so much.

Because the chip has (some) memory it can even have state, maybe one $1.50 bag of popcorn from an offline no-PIN terminal is fine, and so is two, but before you can do a third tiny off-line transaction you'll need to do a real transaction or visit an ATM or other online system with the card so it be reassured everything is on the up-and-up.

That’s the amazing thing. The NYPost article was making the rounds Wednesday night and it was mostly crickets.

SC is a programming language. A back end for it would mean a compiler, interpreter, GC, etc.

This project is a GUI for creating WebAudio node graphs. It does not parse or interpret a programming language; it's not functionally or structurally similar to things like chuck or supercollider.
Please don't post wholly fabricated bullshit on HN.
I used to be a big fan of Bernie Sanders' ~2015 platform of "raise taxes and do sensible things" until I realized there's only one Bernie Sanders and he's pretty old. First and outside of the scope of this discussion, in search of a base he has aligned with the woke, but the main reason I stopped being a fan is exactly observing money being spent in CA and WA by people that are not quite as bright or honest as Bernie Sanders. I no longer want to pay more taxes, because I am philosophically opposed to giving money to complete morons. Frankly, I'd sooner pay taxes to Bill Gates or Warren Buffett - they are more likely to do something sensible with the money.
> ... wouldn't you think that would be unjust?

Not at all.

Being able to more efficiently access other systems and employees at your company than outsiders isn't "unjust" in any way.

Not being able to do so, seems very broken and weird. :(

>"Shouting fire in a crowded theater" is one litmus test

Nitpick: It's not "Shouting fire in a crowded theater" it's "Falsely Shouting fire in a crowded theater"

If there were a fire, I'd certainly want to know about it, wouldn't you?
The super draco combustion chambers made by space x are 3d printed.

Every single type of review site is plagued with coordinated shenanigans and gaming the system.

Antivaxxers brigading doctors on Yelp & Google. Diehard fandoms brigading Rotten Tomatoes. Sketchy Chinese sellers buying fake Amazon product reviews in FB groups.

Platforms know this by now, so consumers should too. The internet is basically a series of factions competing for amplification from algorithms at this point. Pump up your guy, downrank theirs. Coordinate for an algorithmic boost or trend where possible.

It's just marketing by way of manufactured consensus, not a review.
I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make? Yes, you could do both, but you'd still have the collateral damage I mentioned as a negative of the CDA approach. If there's another approach without that downside, why do both?

Morality and honesty perhaps? If Twitter wants to be a left wing outlet a la Daily Kos, that's fine, but they should at least be honest about it. Preaching openness, transparency, and honesty while doing the opposite is orwellian.
>The only speech I would consider to even approach violence is a direct threat. And even that isn't really violence - it's the threat of violence.

And credible threats of violence aren't protected speech either.
There's no evidence that any actual hacking took place to obtain the Biden emails. The article stated that they were obtained from a laptop negligently left at a repair shop.

Twitter just decided to claim that the post is lying, with no evidence and no fact-checking, and then banned the Post Twitter account and every other account that shared the article. At the same time, they allow content like the Panama Papers, Pentagon Papers, multiple Wikleaks, Snowden leaks - which were all obtained by admitted unauthorized hacking.
No. The White House Press Office does not need a twitter account. They can issue press releases and hold press conferences, and both will be widely covered by the national media or view on the internet. There is no reason they need to use twitter.
Inversely, if my employer will not allow me to be remote, I will look for another job.

I think people need to realize that human interaction exists beyond the office.
This sounds like a great course and approach. Do you have your prospective syllabus anywhere online? Or even one you think is similarly well-thought out?
putting on my asshole hat maybe it's because the internet in the 90s was mostly above average intelligence techies who statistically had a better chance of doing thorough research. But now everyone's on the internet and those same techies are trying to come up with ways to prevent false information disseminating among the uneducated or at minimum unwilling-to-do-research masses
>The point of having a public forum is to give new ideas a chance, as unheard of or unpopular as they may be. Of course, with that you get the risk of misinformation as well.

So since the ideas behind scientific racism, the dark enlightenment, white supremacy, Nazism and anti-semitism, and any prejudice based on conservative or religious ideals (such as sexual or gender discrimination or anti LGBT prejudice) are neither new nor unheard of, it's OK to stop giving them a chance?

I mean... flat earth? Do we really need to make sure the flat earthers have as wide a platform as they want just in case they turn out to have been right all along? Do we really need to vigorously debate every new iteration of "maybe the Jews do deserve to be driven into the sea" or "maybe eugenics is a good idea" that crawls out from under the rocks of society every few years? Do we need to keep the flame of "Bill Gates created COVID as a pretext to tag everyone with mind-control chips to make it easier to harvest adrenochrome for satanic blood magick" alive for future generations to ponder the possible wisdom of?

Maybe we can agree that, while there may be subtle cases where legitimate scientific or political ideas which run afoul of the status quo and public acceptance need protection in a free market of ideas, most of what's actually being defended in these discussions is regressive garbage that can be tossed back into the wastebin of history from whence it came, with nothing of value lost?
This is standard consumer abuse all companies practice, big and small.

Indeed, on your second point, the linked study[1] that found that "More than two-thirds of those who identified as atheist before the experience no longer identified as atheist afterwards." didn't control for that at all.

I suspect 3D printing aircraft parts becomes more viable my the day, especially as the materials, accuracy and reliability improve. I can appreciate that not _everything_ is a candidate for some form of printing, but I can imagine quite a few parts are. Some examples:

1. Highly specialized missions that require custom parts. The mission parameters themselves might be quite volatile, imagine some engineering team cooking up some mission critical sensors at the last moment to be used for this mission only.

2. Small incremental improvements that can be rolled out fleet wide. Usually these aircraft will have at least _some_ issues with the hardware, and the military answer is typically to write more SOPs. Instead they could 3D print a clip to stop that darned wire hitting the hot pipes when you open the panel.

3. Broken parts in remote locations could potentially be fixed whilst in those locations. You don't have to rely on some distribution network to fix your aircraft when you can build a patch and get it through one or more trips safely until a proper service.

4. The ability to semi-break away from the need of manufacturing.
To me the in-person-ness of the word of mouth doesn't matter, what's important is that word of mouth is coming from people you know in real life, not internet-only friends, gaming buddies, Twitter followers, etc. So that real friend could text you the word of mouth recommendation instead of telling you at work, over dinner, or at a party, but the reason it's more valuable is because ostensibly that real life friend wouldn't recommend something that was garbage to you since there is meatspace social capital involved.
Ok, so can we agree to get rid of billboards?

Nor do I think anyone was celebrating John F. Kennedy as some polymath. Degree in government. Navy. Career in government. Pretty narrow focus.

Okay... why did a Republican, nominee of the party "more in favor of civil rights for minorities," vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964? And why did Nixon, a Republican, follow his lead in the following election, emphasizing law and order, an end to protests, and a war on drugs? Why did Strom Thurmond, a Democrat, join the Republican party?

You can't have it both ways!
Tangential: as somebody with congenital hearing loss who's worn hearing aids since I was a little kid, the pivot to mostly digital communications has been a serious benefit for me -- even with modern hearing aids, there are many acoustically bad (for me) physical meeting rooms and speakers whom I just can't hear in person, but I can hear just as well as everybody else over Zoom/Meet/Facetime.
Wouldn't 3d printing potentially make it easier to flatten the supply chain and help guarantee predictability?
Hey, I would also like to learn if these things exist and whether anyone in aviation is using them. More curious about how they would certify these things - machining is so well understood over many decades that the risk tolerance against anything else would pretty high.

The IT/OT Turf Wars: Why the IoT echo-chamber needs to listen more, preach less
Hi, I sent an email to the team in the listing to see if they can provide additional information about the file formats involved in HEC-RAS. Finger-crossed.

The following link does include a Linux download, but with little support - https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-ras/download.asp....

Also doing some digging on Github, I did find an reverse engineered version of a python version of RAS via win32com control - https://github.com/mikebannis/rascontrol, there's also projects of varying degree across Github - https://github.com/search?q=hec-ras.
Once the information is out there, it's in the public interest for it to be openly available and not censored.

No one condoned Russia's intelligence hacking and leaking the DNC/Podesta/Clinton emails, of course, but once they became public knowledge, it'd be ridiculous for a social media company to censor all links to the emails.

Similarly, no one condones repair shop owners snooping on customers' laptops for political dirt, but once it's public, the information itself stands alone.

Twitter would be right to ban the repair shop owner's account, if he had one, but I don't think they're right to censor any references to the leaked information. It's law enforcement's job to determine if a crime was committed and to prosecute the individual if so.
I think that was for a prototype for the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor radar.

For the helicopter: “We expect to probably get about 20,000 structural parts, -ish, out of that,” Royar said. “We’ll take a look at it and evaluate every one” to see whether it can be safely and economically replaced with a 3D-printed version.

So I am guessing they might find say 100 suitable non-critical parts (say plastic covers). 3D scans of critical parts could still be very useful for rigs, emergency field use, or other non-flight purposes.

> [GP]: the whole premise of 3D printed parts going into an aircraft from airworthiness perspective is flat out insane.

The article responds that observation very well IMHO.

Ask anyone what they think "educational funding" is and they pretty much will all mention teacher's wages among other things.

NFSv4(.1) was largely created to fix this. It has delegations, a mechanism for clients to have coherent caches and exclusivity when needed. As far as I know it works just fine, the world just mostly moved away from wanting NFS.
But you can still publish. And that's the point.

You can say just about anything you want, but that doesn't mean other folks are required to listen to you or expend their resources to amplify your speech.

And that's a good thing. Because if you can force others to publish/host/amplify your speech, others can force you to do the same with theirs.
SoundHound has had this feature for many years now, it's the main reason why I started using it rather than Shazaam. However we should not underestimate the significance of Google implementing this feature - humming to search songs will become much more mainstream now

> as I'm sure most of their viewers aren't watching for any scientific aspect

Watching what happened when he compressed a book was very very scientific to me, I've wondered that for ages, and the answer was not what I expected at all.

The scientific value you get depends entirely on the questions the viewer has. I'm 100% certain that there's at least one object that any particular viewer is curious "what would happen", as opposed to just "see it break".
Historically, utilities/public services are things that have a natural monopoly, which absolutely applies to ISP/other wireline telcoms (city franchise licenses), mobile cell service (limited competition due to spectrum auctions and the need for enough nationwide spectrum to be accumulated to launch a viable service), water, sewer, power, gas, etc. It might apply to things like undersea cables, although there isn't really a natural monopoly (plenty of space under the ocean) and those primarily connect two privately owned datacenters. It applies to other services such as post office and city trash where either laws (private express statutes) prohibit competition for the sake of making the public service more profitable, or where taxes force the customer to "buy" the public trash pickup, making even the best-run private enterprise unable to compete.

It is technically quite trivial to clone the basic functionality of Twitter and run a competing service. This has been done semi-sucessfully with Gab (not endorsing that community, but it is a good example), for example. People choose social media services based on their perceived value, social prestige, etc. There's no equivalent to "I have to use Twitter because they own the lines to the house/they have the only 5G coverage in my area/they are the only company licensed by my city." Twitter is not the only physically possible way to publish short messages to the world (unless the ISPs ruin that now that net neutrality is gone).
The sheer depth/breadth of Youtube's maker scene is awe inspiring. There's orders of magnitude more people creating/restoring stuff on Youtube than there are people destroying stuff.

The number of channels dedicated to restoring cars, building dioramas, making knives/tools, restoring old electronics, inventing new electronics, cooking, painting, etc etc... it's truly awesome (in both meanings of the word) and I personally love that Youtube has brought all this to the world.

I don't even watch TV/movies anymore, I just have 200+ subscriptions to talented makers of all varieties, even stuff I personally have no intention of ever trying, just because it's so great to watch.

After all that, I don't really fault people enjoying some things being crushed, same reason lots of people like seeing big crashes in motorsports or big explosions. It's a part of human nature.
A lot of what makes songs recognizable is the rhythm pattern, not the melody.

> Gell-Mann Amnesia

Quick reminder-- this concept is an off-hand blurb from a sci-fi writer. It's no more based in research than the inkling that nation states should tighten their belts when the economy gets rough because after all, that's what a sensible hard-working family does. Or the notion that it's "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."

Those last two are usually uttered by people who have an agenda and are not interested in doing serious, open-minded research into those topics.

If you're the kind of person who does enjoy learning from research papers, you might reflect in your free time on why you're repeating the inkling of a sci-fi writer, and perhaps even whose agenda that could be serving.
