I doubt that a journalist of greenwald's caliber is going to write "garbage". I take your point about the editorial function in general but we can't lose sight of the context.
I'm going to start showing up at your house and ringing the doorbell once a day until you follow my opt-out procedure.
Seems like a No True Scotsman situation to me. A set of rules is just that.
When I was in college Fortinet pitched a capstone project for an automated doorman that tracked passersby, delivery people, residents, etc using cameras posted at doors.

We asked why they couldn't use other biometrics which were much more established at the time (eg fingerprint scanners at the doorway), they said because other biometrics required consent. They wanted to track people without their knowing or agreement.

When asked about the ethics they said something along the lines of "this is what our customers are asking for."

Point being you don't need a privacy policy when you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the first place. They can take pictures of you, store them in a database, sell them if they want. You don't have a right to be forgotten. And there are people that don't see anything wrong with that.
Not everyone has that option/luxury. "Good" is subjective anyway, just find something that you enjoy and doesn't increase the collective suffering of the human race. Tell any naysayers to pound sand.

If Biden came out and said it was false, he’d (a) be giving this garbage more air time than it deserved, and (b) embolden people who think it’s a cover-up. There’s no reason to believe that making such a statement would actually improve things; rather, it would probably make things much worse.

You say there’s nothing damaging in there. If that’s the case then the Biden campaign has even less reason to respond.
No need to be so snappy.

And that isn't giving Mars a magnetic field in the implied sense. It's building an external structure to perform a protective field that would have similar effects. You may consider it semantics, but they're different.

It is an interesting idea, but this seems to simply be a proposal with a lot of "ifs" and "mights" and "possibles", with even the proposer calling it "fanciful". So indeed, I suppose we will wait. Even with this novel idea, it doesn't seem possible in 100 years. The articles I see came out three years ago from the conference it was presented at, and I didn't see any immediate results returned as to the progress of the idea.
Imagine that you deliver 100 thousand tons of gold, platinum, etc to Earth. How would the prices change?

Inside the asteroid belt there's nobody to trade in gold with, at least not yet.
The RISC-V spec is clear and simple enough to work with even for a dolt like me. I have started a project to implement the instruction set in Smalltalk [1] (shameless plug), along with basic CPU simulation. Hopefully I'll be able to develop low level risc systems in this environment with decent debugging.

I mean it's not fraud to blame your suppliers for problems that are the supplier's fault. It doesn't magically mean you're representing them. My local grocery store was out of tempeh because the factory they buy it from shut down due to a COVID scare. It doesn't mean that I suddenly think my grocery store is speaking as the supplier.
Don't bother with food, just put rocks in there.
Eh, any politician would probably do the same.

I strongly disagree about Trump. That's basically been Trump's exact MO since forever; any real story concerning him just gets instantly dismissed. "It's locker room talk", "it's fake news", etc. Trump and his White House have held far fewer press conferences than past presidents. And at his press conferences, he refuses many questions and dismisses others with either non-answers or just his typical bullshit salesman-speak.

I do think this is probably the "Trumpiest" Biden has acted so far, but I think I'd probably do the same thing if I were in his position, honestly. At least until the election is over. It's politics. He doesn't want to throw too much gasoline on the fire. It's just the media's and Twitter's behavior that I just mind-boggling and gross, and the irrational way so much of the left is treating it.
Hey guys, I've been working on this Clojure project for a while now, honestly I'm not even entirely sure what it is, a game? a game engine? a 3d editor? a visual programming language? Anyway, it's a system to create mechanical contraptions and interact with them. I built a few test machines and you can see them in the first video I posted on my channel [1]. For instance you can create a fully functional piano in 5 minutes and play it, the keys move, it plays the sounds as you would expect. And this system turned out surprisingly powerful, to build these machines it often does not require any coding which was kind of surprising. I created this tetris game in half an hour [2]. It's not perfect but it is functional and again it required only a tiny snippet of code to coordinate the different submachines and even that might be unnecessary. The "programs" i.e. the machines created also interact in a way that you usually only see with command line programs. You can create a machine then someone else can use that machine as a part for a more powerful machine, for instance that lever that turns the tetris game on and off doesn't "come standard" with the system, I build it separately then imported it. Using the program is a lot like programming, thinking logically, coming up with solutions to problems, fixing bugs, but it's entirely visual so you can use your physical intuition to figure things out, maybe that's why it's possible to do things so fast. Anyway I was hoping some of you would give it a try and give me some feedback. I need people to see what they can build with it, I don't even know what's possible at this point. And if you want to give it a go and get stuck, feel free to contact me with any questions.

For 1., there's really no way to know is there? The best analogy I can think of is all the precious metals from the New World and how their discovery and subsequent introduction to the Old World in the 16th century and on effected the economies there.

For 2., I think there's a good case to be made for a lot of that metal staying up in space as opposed to dropped and then launched back up eventually. In the long long term, isn't it reasonable to assume that Earth may end up losing mass due to space launches? Here's my corollary to your question for whoever comes along to answer: Is it possible that lessening mass could speed us up?
I'd give him the benefit of the doubt over your incredibly arrogant assumption that he just wrote a 'garbage story' and is being legitimately dropped. WTF.
Greenwood has always been "pro-Russia" because of how Snowden was able to stay away in Russia from whatever date laid in wait for him in the US.

People seem to forget why Greenwald and Poitras are famous in the first place. Why would he be for the party that tried to kill his source and which he had to stand up against to publish the stories that made him famous? Why would he be against the nation that shielded that source from life imprisonment (and possibly death)?
"Easier to sell American citizens... the $22.6 billion dollar budget"

That's hilarious. $23 billion is nothing. You can add to that all the other countries' budgets and all private investments, it's still nothing.

More money is spent on recreating the same consumer products every year, creating brain numbing entertainment, creating military equipment that will be retired before it's used, disseminating misinformation around the globe, keeping people in prisons.

The space exploration budgets are tiny, all around the world. Same goes for money allocated for climate change.
tldr: usenet???
For us, the key was to build a simple Jira alternative. A good PM tool should do the basics, and get out of the way.

Personal opinion, so many PM tools tend to be bloated and each view ends up causing more mental overload for the team, EM and PM.

We've tried to focus on speed with performance and keeping things simple.
life on earth or human life? because life is just fine. All we are doing is restoring the atmosphere changed by a devastating asteroid impact. An atmosphere that plunges the earth into ice for 10s if not 100s of thousands of years periodically. If we kept pumping out CO2 at present acceleration, it would take us 500 years to reach the levels preimpact. We wont get there, we will likely run out or find other alternatives, but that time frame puts things into perspective.

A counterpoint is that if you hire someone to order and pick up food for you, and they place the wrong order, you won't blame the restaurant for your assistant's mistake.

GH is pretending to be the restaurant, so you get mad at the restaurant, not GH, when your order arrives late/cold/wrong. The restaurant didn't agree to this representation and you, the customer, weren't informed of it either.
It's mostly that I think your definition of "free speech" is absurd and so are your claims of censorship.

My high school science teacher told us all the world economy would collapse in 10 years because the oil would run out. It didn't. My classmates remembered -- and updated their priors accordingly. At this point, it's pretty clear that despite his good intentions he hurt the cause.

Fundamental attribution error tempts you into believing that it's OK to lie for a good reason. Others see it differently.

What's the point of something like this, which is a very poor imitation of Mario, being labeled as "Mario in Vim"? Just marketability? If you used non-IP infringing assets, maybe no one would pay any attention to a link like this: "2D sidescroller implemented in Vim"?

I'd just like to see the merit of something like this judged based not on nostalgia or fandom, but on its own individual novelty. You'd also sidestep all the people being downvoted for calling out IP infringement.
Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, the Internet Archive, Mastadon/ActivityPub, Peertube, git and company, and something like but more open than StackOverflow (which feels like it should be a part of Wikipedia in some way, shape, or form). NNTP is suggested, but feels like it's been superseded by superior mechanisms (although there's much work to be done as part of the Distributed Web movement [1] [2] [3], which would also be applicable).

When we had our in-person YC interview way back in 2010 it was incredibly helpful to have time beforehand outside the interview room where we got to hang out with other hopeful founders and casually chat, learn about what they were doing, and talk about ourselves and our product a little.

Like a warmup, it helped to calm everyone's nerves and got us into a mode of talking confidently and happily before going in.

That moment before the interview was incredibly empowering to me as a first time founder because it was also my first exposure to a bunch of other people who seemed to be just like me: passionate about not only building products but also building companies (which at the time wasn't common at all in my social circles).

I think even if we had not gotten in that experience would have given us the confidence to continue forward as founders.

It's a shame if the video calls remove this opportunity for interviewees. I think a few startups are trying something like this, but it would be cool if there was a way for YC to let founders wait together in a virtual lobby of some kind where they can have casual conversations ahead of time, exchange contact info, etc.
I know this a losing battle, but I can't help but pipe up from time to time: that's a disclosure, not a disclaimer.

I'm grateful to everyone putting in the work to make RISC-V happen, open hardware is the only way out of the increasingly grim world of 'secure boots' and the like, which seems hell-bent on making general purpose computing on a trusted platform a thing of the past.

I like this type of articles, but also felt pretty frustrated. Programmers are not supposed to be an expert in this type of details, neither do most other people in a company.

The real problem is that how do we encode this knowledge in an easily reusable way? (In the same way they programmers do not have to know x86 ISA to write useful applications)
No. A trivial counterexample would be base 7.

It still would not be free, the cheapest method in theory would be to gently nudge a asteroid to a closer orbit to ours. Then if you can process it in space since not all of the asteroid is useful metal. Then send the processed material down to earth. However, it may just be more effective break chunks off and send those to earth. Either way your going to need fuel to move the material to earth. Energy to process the material ect.... It's not going to be free.

The asteroid in question is only ~120 miles in diameter. Not massive enough to effect earths orbit that much. Earth is hundreds of thousands of times more massive.

However, Platinum group metals are relatively rare in earths crust. This would be the what we would really want from an asteroid. If it was just for iron and nickle not many people would think about asteroid mining.

This is by no means meant to minimize what's happening in the Laptev sea. There's a lot going on up there, and the level of badness, while overall large and larger than ever, is variable.
Exactly. And the acquisition here also has a very sketchy story. It kind of sounds made up. If it's true, it's very unethical. If it's untrue, it very likely still was. But the method of acquisition doesn't say anything about the content itself.

The Intercept's editor-in-chief has put out a statement of their own.

Greenwald himself just confirmed on twitter he could publish with no editorial oversight. Eventually, his colleagues balked.
"A grown person throwing a tantrum", as the editor puts it, sounds about right.

The general shape of this critique of bourgeois identity politics is much older than either the phrase "identity politics" or Silicon Valley itself (its at least as old as divides within late-19th/early-20th century feminism between radical and bourgeois feminism.)

What the fuck? Your position is that there's something virtuous about exchanging currency for goods as long as you can do it from home, but leaving your house to do it in person is substantively different at all, let alone worthy of disdain?

Are you so hopelessly tribal that it doesn't even take a political ideology difference to dehumanize people on a different side? It just naturally hits you that someone with different shopping habits is some kind of intolerable other?
It's more that journalists don't want to upset their boss and their boss doesn't want to upset their boss and all the way up the chain. Somewhere in that chain is someone that is aligned with getting that particular story suppressed. The issue here is that somewhere along the way, keeping your job became more valuable than keeping your integrity. Happens in tech all the time in my experience.

I think the "Human extinction by 2030" is a confusion of what is being claimed by serious people.

If the current trend continues and nothing done by 2030 the repercussions will be so severe to the environment they threaten future organized human existence.

So basically we still have time to avoid the worst outcome, the loss of the ability for organized human existence. Not that we will all be dead by then.
> Typically, those services don't provide any possibility to extract or synchronize content. They don't offer open APIs that allow users to choose among different and open user interfaces.

None of this is true. All these services have pretty fully-featured APIs and several independent clients.

Even otherwise, the fact that some of them may not exist at some point in the future is a terrible reason to not use them at all. I still find tons of relevant content in hosted forums from the 90s and 00s, and more recent ones like Stack Overflow and Github.

I'm pretty confident that most of the services he is complaining about will last longer than his own blog post.
