> Personally, I’ve come to accept this is the end. If I must die to global warming, at least it will be an interesting death.

Not to prove the OP's point about climate change denial. But that's overly pessimistic.

Climate change is a slow motion train wreck. Things will slowly, steadily, exponentially get worse. But you probably won't be alive to notice the worst of it. 200 years from now, things will look extremely different. And we'll be lucky if we've managed to ride through all the changes and migrations and potentially famines without starting a dreadful war and blowing ourselves up with these delightful world-ending stockpiles of nuclear weapons.

I'm really starting to think the answer to the Fermi paradox is there's a great filter and it lies in front of us. Technological civilizations wipe themselves out because they unlock powerful technologies before developing the wisdom to control them.

Happy Thursday everyone!
That's an incredibly low bar for praise.
Biden could have addressed this story months ago. He knew about it. You'd think the democrats would have learned not to nominate a second clinton who refuses questions. They still think its easy to stomp on a story than address it.

> In recent years, however, Hersh has appeared increasingly to have gone off the rails. His stories, often alleging vast and shadowy conspiracies, have made startling — and often internally inconsistent — accusations, based on little or no proof beyond a handful of anonymous "officials."
This is exactly what I thought. The things it's bringing in don't seem like "types", they seem like "rich structured data objects, usually imported from the web, that live in cells on sheets so you can refer to in formulas".

I wanted cells to have types -- not just dimensions like meters and volts but arbitrary composeable tags with a tag arithmetic, so that you can make it impossible to (or at least easy to notice when you) add "daily active users" and "monthly active users".

I read a thread here on HN just a couple days ago about people whose job it is to pore through spreadsheets that drive trillions of dollars for companies and find logical errors (like the above nonsensical addition of two numbers that don't make sense), and that they save companies hundreds of millions by preventing mistakes in planning etc.

Maybe I'm missing the point, but compared to real types, who cares about bringing a rich structured data object describing hydrogen into a spreadsheet?
“Scalping”?

> What do you think is more probable. That every single news organization out there, every single journalist, including NPR as you mention, are trying to hide this very real story and are wrong, while the one publication is in the right. Or that maybe, just maybe, it's the other way around and NYP published something that has not been well vetted?

Great thought exercise. I'm happy to inform you that I have actually already considered both scenarios and am confident that it really is this:

> every single news organization out there, every single journalist, including NPR as you mention, are trying to hide this very real story and are wrong

If you look back at the media in the last four years that shouldn't be as surprising as you are implying.

Although I take issue with "every single journalist", since the point of Greenwald's piece, among others, is that even if one journalist wants to tell the truth, they will be suppressed.

---

To go more concrete here though, are you specifically claim that the materials are not real, or that the story of how they were acquired is false? The former is absolutely undeniable; the latter is up for debate but I personally don't even think the laptop repair shop story is fabricated.

I personally watched (part of) the video of Hunter Biden smoking crack while receiving a footjob, so unless you think it's a body double or a deepfake there is no doubt in my mind that these documents are real. Furthermore the big smoking gun is the financial documents which should be trivially easy for a journalist to debunk. So if you want to question how the materials are acquired, go ahead, but the documents themselves are real, and they show very questionable business dealings in China, Ukraine, and Russia.

BTW, the existence for years now of the Russia Collusion hoax - namely, the debunked notion that Trump is a vassal of Vladimir Putin and directly colluded with Russia to win the US election - should tell us everything we need to know about the intellectual integrity of the corporate press.
From Wikipedia:

"Critics have described Hersh as a conspiracy theorist, in particular for his rejection of official claims regarding the killing of Osama Bin Laden and his rejection that the Assad regime used chemical weapons on Syrian civilians."

>The phone number thing is also only affiliated businesses. There would be no way to charge them if they weren't.

Charge them for what? When a customer uses the GrubHub site/app to place an order, they are explicitly choosing Grubhub to service that order.

If I choose to call a restaurant rather than use the GrubHub site/app, I'm explicitly choosing to deal with the restaurant directly. As such, GrubHub isn't entitled to an "affiliate referral" fee.

When a website and/or phone number claims to be an entity that it is not, and does not disclose that fact to the customer, then charges a fee based on that deception, that's fraud.
Measuring the Bias of Technological Change
It's not like we're talking about some random story that appears out of the aether; it's a story from a cofounding journalist. Glen wanted this agreement between editors and journalists: editors will not censor the journalists they employ. The Intercept violated that.

To put it another way, what's more likely?: that Glenn Greenwald just suddenly decided he'd like to publish garbage articles, or that the Intercept is seeking to filter what content it publishes to achieve political aims?

Obviously it's up to each individual to make their own call on that, but to me, it's pretty obviously almost the latter.

Sure, one can rant all one wants about management's lack of business acumen, but that's completely separate from the issue of the layoffs
I guess you don't like the Pi, and that's fine. But most of us stopped using silly derogatory language like that many years ago.

If you've got a complaint, say it like a grownup, IMO.
> There was a time when journalists cared about the truth

Which is exactly why no other publication has yet backed up this claim, because they cannot verify the truthiness of it. If anything, it's NYP that did not care about the truth and only about the fact that it would be a "win" for their side.

Caring about the truth and not spreading misinformation from foreign nation is one and the same.

I went to college in '88 or '89 and one of my teachers showed me the 1/89 trick, along with a few others, e.g. 1/7, and so forth. My teacher claimed to have been shown the various tricks by one of his teachers back in the '60s.

In the same period I "discovered" an error detection technique which is commonly known as Hamming codes. I would never dare to claim I invented them or discovered them.

In '92 and '93, I was heavily in to the BBS scene, some people had 56K modems, others had 14.4K. With verifiable evidence of written notes and digital artifacts (a BBS door and protocol for AmiBBS and Citadel and a couple of others) , I created a technique whereby multiple peers with low-bandwidth connections could transfer small fragments of a larger dataset to a peer with a lot of bandwidth.

If you were heavily in to the warez scene and/or part of Fate, it is probably you made use of this protocol to transfer pirated software between FTP sites. A warehousing server would tell each peer who had what part of a piece of data, and any peer could make requests for any piece of the data from any other peer who happened to have a copy of that data. Today, a very similar protocl is commonly known as BitTorrent.

I would not say I "discovered" or "invented" the protocol as my work was based on the various X-, Y- & Z- modem protocols. There was a TCP/IP packet to -Modem packet translator so that a BBS talking over that new fangled internet thing could take advantage of a T1 (1.5Mbps) connection for instance, which really helped with spreading the warez around the various FTP sites by the couriers.

I doubt the veracity of the claim by the author to have "discovered it as original" in 1994 before anybody else.
Right, and it's still not clear whether it is true or not.

Maybe... But Hunter traveled with his father, then VP, on Air Force Two to China in 2013 and met with senior bankers to establish a Chinese private equity fund. So at least there was a bit of commingling between his father's political affairs and his son's business ambitions. Not to mention his questionable connections in Ukraine. Or his prior work as a lobbyist.

And while I don't think the sex videos on the laptop should have been published or covered in the news, the emails about Hunter's dealings with China probably should be. But the inconsistency of the media and the social networks on this issue should be pointed out. And if Don Jr had a laptop stolen with questionable emails about deals with Russia, I can guarantee that the media would have a field day with it (much like they did with the largely fraudulent Steele Dossier) -- not to mention the more lurid content.

The association with your app and the mark was certainly visible as there was a direct mapping between the two via the search function.

Perhaps they did but the site said "copyright/trademarking isn't our problem, perhaps have your guys talk to their guys."?
What I mean by reasonably researched is that the nutritional science behind the ingredient choices seems defensible; you're welcome to read Soylent's own material on that. Sorry if I was unclear about that.

As for long running randomized trials, sure, there aren't any. However, none of the hidden deleterious effects the author suggests might happen have been observed in consumers over the past three years since the article was published (that I know of), so, if there is a problem, it's really subtle.
Glenn is complaining that he can't discuss a story that the Wall Street Journal also looked into and was unwilling to risk their reputation on a story lacking verifiable evidence. The Wall Street Journal is generally a credible but also right leaning news source. GG's politics are to the left on most of the democratic party, and was unhappy with Clinton and now also unhappy with Biden.

That's how I look at it. If societal collapse or the complete and utter ruination of our economy wrecks my portfolio then my wrecked portfolio is the least of my problems!

Unlimited Traffic Platform
VI is a text editing language, and the VIM and NeoVIM implementations are terrific.

Emacs is a text editing platform, but its text editing language is good for writing only. Not good for editing, not good for copying or moving code, not good for navigating, not good for working with brackets or parenthesis despite the lisp language being almost native to Emacs.

My recent exploration into org-mode introduced me to Evil. It's 95% of the VI language, in an amazing text editing platform. I'm currently only using Emacs for org-mode right now, but suddenly new worlds are opening. For instance, I've been looking for a good tool to navigate CSV files from the CLI (or any other keyboard-controlled environment) for over two decades. I'm not yet explored the possibilities with Emacs, but I'm told they are good. Then possibly browsing simple websites, such as HN and Wikipedia, maybe a better Git interface, maybe a good Telegram / Slack / IRC combined messenger, maybe a good email reader.

Suggestions welcome!
I think the wiki approach works best for very diverse references, where there is no such thing as a "good enough" maintainer. You can't do Wikipedia like this, because nobody is an expert in all of human knowledge.

On the other hand, MDN is probably sufficiently narrow in scope that a team of subject matter experts can competently manage contributions in a timely manner. Of course, by "narrow" I do mean basically every technology currently in use on the web, so... guess we'll see how realistic that is!
The opensource ecosystem is built on a very thin veneer of perceived fairness: labor is free in the hope that it will bring you reputation (which you can leverage into actual remuneration). If you remove one side of the equation (no matter how hopeful or hypothetical that might have been in practice), the setup appears entirely exploitative, and people get angry.
Unfortunately what we’ve demonstrated is that we make bad decisions if they’re cheap; that we have heated up the plant is merely because it happened to be the case that fossil fuels could power a population growth from 1 to 8 billion in a century and a half.

Only if you choose to be blind to the relationship between most "journalism" outlets, their owners, and the types of stories they publish.

You just used a collection of logical fallacies to poke holes in the story while avoiding the question of Joe Biden being corrupt and indebted to foreign adversaries.

Why did Hunter Biden get +$50,000/mo. salary from a Ukranian energy company that Joe Biden had dealings with during his time as VPOTUS? Why did Hunter Biden get $1 billion windfall from China just days after visiting Beijing with his influential father?
Biden could have addressed this months ago. the fact that he hasn't is very telling. Before he got the nomination, major publications were running stories about it, like Politico and Bloomberg, etc.
Absolutely. Learning to live in the constraints of space help up learn to do everything with less on Earth.
> And some areas will actually become more habitable - closer to the poles.

These areas have no soil worth speaking of so agriculture is not an option, the ecosystem will not be stable so no foraging or hunting, and the grounds will be extremely unstable as they'll be thawing continuously, and the surface will just be soggy bog.

As all extreme locales the long winter night also tends to trigger depression in many.

For the same reason that the NY Times suddenly publishing a front-page article on the 26 women who have accused Trump of rape [1] the week before the election would be a blatant partisan hack move.

It's well-trodden ground, it's been covered (some might say not enough, but regardless), there's no significant new news, and it would be a blatant attempt to influence the election.

In this case, the Times has written numerous stories on Hunter's use of his name to try and make money. That story isn't new. The new part of the story is the insinuation that he did this with Joe Biden's permission, and that Joe himself may have been making money. That part hasn't been verified by anyone.

Yes, and we should start responding.
That doesn't work because real numbers are not enumerable, so you cannot induce over them. That joke "proof" only works for natural numbers and goes like this:

Theorem: all natural numbers are interesting

* Base case: 0 is interesting because it is the smallest natural number, as well as the identity element of + operation.

* Inductive case: Assume the theorem holds for all m, m<n. Take n. If it is not interesting, then n is the smallest non-interesting number. But that's interesting because it's the smallest such number. Therefore it cannot be non-interesting. Therefore theorem holds for n.

By induction, we conclude all natural numbers are interesting. QED.
Where is a conditional average treatment effect insufficient? We want to say that, seeing X right now, if we do a1, we'll see a change of d (+/- D), compared to doing a0. Or being able to predict y1 and y0 corresponding to actions a1 and a0. That would be a huge step, and something some of ML's most useful methods can't do.
News agencies outside of Fox / NY Post haven't been able to study the evidence on a developing story, and Tucker Carlson has yet to reveal critical evidence.

Glenn Greenwald's own editor is telling him not to make preliminary bets. What's so surprising here?
One more reason to like wearing masks all the time.
The rationale for censorship of Greenwald's article is unconvincing, as that rationale is contradicted even by other people who agree with the censorship.

As the story is already running elsewhere, it is unconvincing that there is a pressing need for this particular outlet to suppress it.
I may very well turn out to be wrong, but I think the emails are more likely than not all real. But even if they all turn out to be completely doctored, there's a much more responsible way of handling the information. Of course it'd be absurd to assume the emails are real, but it's almost as absurd to assume they can't be real and that to even attempt to objectively assess the claim is falling for propaganda.

This is a true Shiri's scissor, here. The left-leaning journalists who recognize, in my opinion, how ridiculous this behavior is vs. the rest are basically living on different planets.
"If we had confidence the President did not commit a crime, we would have said so."

From the Executive Summary:
"Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."

It is a lie to suggest that there was "no evidence"; Mueller himself in a public statement literally said there was merely "insufficient evidence" to rise to the bar of conspiracy, contradicting your quote.
