I would assume that the FBI looked into the provenance of the laptop when they subpoenaed it over a year ago. Biden's campaign has also not repudiated the repair shop owner's story of how the laptop came into his possession, and the owner has a signed receipt. Hunter's lawyer allegedly also contacted the repair shop owner the day before the New York Post published the story. This set of facts indicates to me that the laptop was probably not obtained as part of a misinformation campaign.

Fundamentally, for me the null hypothesis is that this is typical election year opposition research. Those claiming that this is an elaborate Russian conspiracy have to present a pretty compelling case to convince me otherwise, given the repeated collapse of such narratives over the past few years.
Here's Politico's Quint Forgey quoting the Director of National Intelligence that the laptop (source of the emails) is in the FBI's possession and that it is authentically Hunter's: https://twitter.com/QuintForgey/status/1318166732419235841
Here's Fox saying the same thing, quoting a Federal Law Enforcement Official: https://twitter.com/SeanLangille?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcam...

Here's a signed MacBook Repair quote from 4/2019, signed by Hunter Biden: https://www.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/hunter%20bi...

And here's the NYPost article itself, excerpts included:

`Biden wrote that Ye had sweetened the terms of an earlier, three-year consulting contract with CEFC that was to pay him $10 million annually “for introductions alone.”`

`"Consulting fees is one piece of our income stream but the reason this proposal by the chairman was so much more interesting to me and my family is that we would also be partners inn [sic] the equity and profits of the JV’s [joint venture’s] investments."`

`The documents obtained by The Post also include an “Attorney Engagement Letter” executed in September 2017 in which one of Ye’s top lieutenants, former Hong Kong government official Chi Ping Patrick Ho, agreed to pay Biden a $1 million retainer for “Counsel to matters related to US law and advice pertaining to the hiring and legal analysis of any US Law Firm or Lawyer.`

It's not a smear campaign. These are facts. The Biden's are political whorebags and don't deserve power.

I'm a 10th generation American. The spirit of liberty runs deep in me. But speaking truth to power is part of the democratic process. Sorry you were mistaken in believing that democracy is all sunshine and rainbows. It's not. It's very messy and imperfect. And like gardening, you have to weed out the corruption by calling it out.

There’s no real concept of “faster” exhaust compared to yourself. The speed of the exhaust is relative to the frame of reference of your rocket which is an accelerating frame, that speed is always the same when measured against the stationary rocket in that frame. When measured from a fixed inertial frame the speed changes as your rocket accelerates.

For a more concrete example, for a moon rocket the speed of the rocket exhaust is around 3 or 4 km/s. On the ground the speed of the rocket is obviously 0, in low earth orbit the speed of the rocket is 7 or 8 km/s, and to initiate the transfer orbit to the moon you have to accelerate to about 10 km/s. (these would all be in earth centered, nonrotating frame speed measurements)

The rocket exhaust doesn’t have to get faster to get you to those higher speeds because you’re taking it with you.

The more you can increase the rocket exhaust relative to yourself though, the more efficient your rocket is.
It would be interesting to know if companies like Facebook and Google view leaked information like this as “fair game” and in the public domain.

Would they add it to their graphs if their missions are to know everything about everyone?

For example, the existence of shadow profiles shows that Facebook don’t care whether they have your consent or not.

In the UK Google have made strenuous efforts to get hold of NHS medical data, sometimes with dubious consent[1].

If you specifically asked you might be able to get them to remove about you but I doubt you’d get them to remove what they’d learned from their models.

I don't think rayiner says he's only watching fox now, rather he's checking that as well.

Here's my take: When you look from different angles it gets harder to hide things. Fox News wants to hide some things, CNN wants to hide others. Looking at it from both angles you get to see some of the stuff each tries to hide and maybe you can make a reasonable guess on what both tries to hide.
It doesn't seem to make sense logically, if you think of weight as mass * gravity. But hypothetically speaking, if the baby can do this -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5Wks63Ng0Y -- don't you think the weight will be different to whoever is picking the baby up?

We don't pick up the baby as a single movement. If we did, then yes there can be no magical weight change. But in reality, there's a bit of a choreography involved. Perhaps the baby holds up its arms, you put your arms below its shoulders, you raise it slowly. During this process, surely it can control how much of its weight you perceive?

As a bit of an aside, it's interesting that the CS (Haskell, mainly) descriptions of a Monad are much more complicated than the math.

Knowing a little bit of maths, but not much category theory, the wiki entry for Monads(Category Theory) is pretty clear. First sentence: A Monad is an endofunctor (a functor mapping a category to itself), together with two natural transformations required to fulfill certain coherence conditions. Easy.

Knowing a bit of programming, but not much Haskell, reading the entry for Monad (functional programming) or any blog post titled "A Monad is like a ...", it almost seems as if the author is more confused about what a Monad is than me. The first sentences of the Wikipedia article for example are a word-salad. With dressing.

From an outsider's perspective, it's almost as if a monad in functional programming is not a 1:1 translation of the straightforward definition of category theory, leading to an overall sense of confusion.
XD is pretty much a flop in the market. Imagine a world where photoshop or Illustrator showed up late and were actually not very successful against competition. It’s a not-bad product, it’s just behind by one or two steps at things like plugins verses Sketch or Figma. Sure Figma isn’t native but it is very performant regardless and the portability of just piping a browser open anywhere is LOVED by clients.

Sketch is sketch. They invented this market and everything is basic a rip on it. Mac only, but that’s generally UX designers anyways.

It is very notable that XD is used by very few major companies. The industry leading firms overwhelmingly use Sketch or Figma or both.

That is very important in development or plugins. There is just so, much, more.

The most promising scheme for dumping waste is deep coring. Previous schemes involved digging shallow burial sites, 100 m or 200 m deep. This is not safe in the medium term, as ground water could easily seep through in the case of geological events. But if you drill a 2000 m hole and cover it back up, there's absolutely no chance of the material coming back up in any way (as long as the site is not the worst.)

I've owned laptops for the past 16 years, and not once have I ever considered leaving my desktop computers. Sure, laptops are portable, but that's all that can be said for them.

When you've set up your laptop to be ergonomic to use, it's as portable as a desktop, so that one thing it did well, it turns out, it couldn't even do that.

Laptops are portable, when you REALLY need to be able to compute at some different place than usual.

They're expensive and even then, still underspecced compared to desktops..

My desktop has 20 tib of storage and 64 gib ram, has a 5 ghz cpu and it runs silently most of the time, I can't even buy a laptop with those specs, if I could it'd be super expensive and noisy or frequency throttling.

This is unfortunately going away a bit, but I still have many more upgrade options for a desktop. Now everything is USB but with the right adapters, I can still use those weird ISA cards I've got hanging around, I can still read 5.25" and 3.5" floppies, and CDs and ZIP. (and yes, the "easy" way to read those disks is using a isa floppy controller on a USB to ISA adapter).

Also, I guess I just don't need to move around that much, but when I do, I have a second-hand I7 machine with 16 gib memory that runs linux off of an SSD reasonably well, if I need "performance"..
If I only need connectivity, I'm using a this small blue HP StreamBook 11 that I bought for around $200 years ago, it also runs Linux well enough, but it's pretty much limited to running a terminal and ssh.
That says "Work in Progress". It doesn't look like it ever completed.

And I still see autogen.sh and Makefile.am goop in the top level of that repository.

However, I would be quite happy to be wrong.

I feel it should be some kind of rule that money collected in fines should never go to the organizations responsible for setting up the fines and enforcing them. It should instead go into something completely unrelated, and preferably geographically separated or distributed.

The city wouldn't have perverse incentives around parking tickets if all the money from them went straight into national healthcare budget, or foreign aid.
I strongly disagree. My experience with that has been positive, _especially_ when candidates request detailed feedback and I provide it.

Caveats: this is in Australia, and I believe we've had legal advice a few times encouraging us to stop, because it could expose us to litigation.
I know this is an unpopular opinion and I probably get downvoted for this. But I stand my ground that I think the assumption of fair use for this copyright circumventing algorithm is wrong.

------

First off: Fair Use does not exist. It is an assumption, not a defined situation as it requires legal evaluation in court to apply. And on top of that: It is a regional difference and is therefore completely unpredictable whether it applies or not.

Assuming fair use on a platform with a proprietary license that even forbids downloading, while downloading proprietary content specifically to circumvent copyright protection, while fair use does only exist as a "possibibility" inside, and only inside, the US and only after a legal case was decided in at least state level court ... really?

If you buy into the argument that less code, that writing code at a higher level of abstraction results in less time to market, less maintenance overhead, more responsiveness to change in future, less bugs etc. Etc. If you believe a 1000 line program is worse than a readable 100 line program that both do the same thing, then lisp with its macros is that thing.

Super expressive and readable. I went from not being able to read clojure to now having written a few apps in it and feeling comfortable with the syntax in a few weeks.

I definitely write less code to achieve the same ends but it’s still early days for my lisp adventure.

I think a better option would be to create a Wireguard tunnel between Raspberry Pi and the remote server instead of a SSH Tunnel. Then there is no need to add or change ports and restart the tunnel for every service.
Is your plan to run some sort of IOT application on the PI?

I'm a little confused as to why you would go through the trouble of running a reverse proxy on a remote server that is fully capable of hosting your web applications and or just setting up a port forwarding rule on your local wifi router to redirect 10080 to 80.

Well Nate Silver wrote a full critically acclaimed book about why these types of forecast are more useful (and accurate) in reality because they account for uncertainty - he has been doing this for years, ever since he used to write similar algorithms to help bookies pick odds for sporting events, so I think your hot take isn’t based in any world of facts or knowledge on this.

Don’t trust a forecaster that says with certainty that a certain candidate will win, unless they have also bet their life’s earnings on it. Showing your statistical confidence level isn’t a bad thing.

You can still do that, though. Most countries have multiple scientific institutes aimed at defense, climate or space research. For the US, orgs like NOAA and NASA need engineers.

this comment make for a good example of why it is very difficult these days to have a reasonable discussion based in reality: many people have no interest in the truth and just want to see their side "win".

This also results in something related to what the article talks about: any reasonable criticism that goes against mainstream thought (or against mainstream news in general) will immediately be coopted and used as ammo by those mentioned in my first point who will take it and twist it into absurd, conspiracy-level or hate-fueled perspectives thereby minimizing the legitimacy of original criticism in the eyes of the public.
