You are wrong, the actual op-ed that “reported” the allegations was “written” by Strassel a week before the editorial you linked to:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-biden-family-legacy-1160340...

Edit: to clarify, the editorial you linked seems to be a real editorial that said “these questions need to be investigated” - the op-Ed I linked to presented itself as divulging new information. In 99.9999999% of cases this would be an odd use of an op-ed, but it appears to have been the only option since the reporters refused.

It is also worth noting that WSJ has a unique and well-known dichotomy between “brilliant, hard-hitting reporting” and “unbelievably hackish Joe-Rogan-level opinions.”
Sorry, I was quite sloppy in my previous comment. Agent B certainly can learn everything that A learns from the same observations.

What I meant is that you cannot learn from "general" observational data, unless it is structured in a certain way (the randomized controlled trial mentioned in a sibling). RL is able to gather data on its own, while other ML methods must do with what they are given. This means that RL could eventually discover the causal relationships, while non-RL cannot (except if the data comes from a RCT).

I think back in the day they used to do those photos of disks too, and you'd get the actual disk at the counter as people were stealing the demo disks from displays.
An apple is 50 calories and mostly sugar. Almonds are pretty good. Most people don't find eating sardines plain to be convenient or tasty.

Soylent is fairly well balanced, plenty of people seem to think it tastes good enough (I think it's a bit chalky, but, ymmv) and it's reasonably enough priced and convenient.

If you aren't cooking most of your meals, and if you struggle with tracking macros and your needs are statistically average, then Soylent is probably not a bad solution. I got a case for my sister when she was having trouble keeping weight on her and it helped her back on track nutritionally - anecdotal obviously.
What do you mean he knew about it months ago? The point is that this is all just a fabrication, there is no story to address.
Grubhub doesn't state that they are picking it up for you. Grubhub states that the restaurant delivers.
I agree that there's a problem, though I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, and assuming you aren't referring only to the comments on one "side" of this discussion. However, either way, there is also a lot of irrational political side-taking being downvoted, and frankly the state of things looks much better than the vast majority of communities.
> Their content has no bearing or connection to Joe Biden. Drawing that line would be deliberate misinformation purely for election destabilization.

The emails mention his father, a meeting, etc. There's obviously some connection, but claiming that the emails are referencing a meeting with Joe is not "deliberate misinformation."

I'm sorry, but it's just pretty clear that your threshold for what constitutes a "debunking" is much lower than mine.

It's a stupid reason to not vote for Biden anyways, but I think it is better to be honest.

I don't need perfect, I just need good. GitHub and GitLab both have good implementations as well as every other good code review system I have used. GitHub annoying tries its hardest to hide the "outdated" comments but GitLab has the option to keep them open (they are no longer visible in the code, but remain on the discussion tab)

So I appreciate your opinion that it is impossible, but as a reviewer I much prefer when the tool tries.

I've never done pentesting professionally, but I trained with someone who passed his OSCP, and while he was quicker, my knowledge was a lot deeper (especially in reverse engineering). We considered each other to be at each others' level. He's a junior pentester now :)

I think he did find that his OSCP helped for recruiters. We both don't know anything about CompTia Pentest+

------
I got a reaction from my friend.

Based on his impression about CompTia Pentest+: it depends on what cert is valued. In The Netherlands OSCP and CEH are the most well-known. CompTia Pentest+ looks most like CEH in terms of design and exam format (based on his quick glance of the curriculum). Take a certificate that recruiters actually look for, because that does help.

Even if the certificate doesn't match the job that you're doing, it shows a lot of dedication. For example, the network skills that my friend learned at OSCP (and while we were training) are almost not needed for the web pentesting that he does.

He also says that his company feels less hesistant to hire someone with OSCP compared to CEH. OSCP is quite hardcore compared to CEH.
Your personal feelings about women are noted and discarded, thank you.
It is really irresponsible that we don't fund geoengineering research.

1. Marine cloud brightening can be accomplished with, essentially, salt water jets on the back of container ships.

2. Selective iron fertilization has, additionally, positive ecological effects that need to be understood.

3. The lofting of sulfer dioxide into the upper atmosphere is not that expensive. On the order of 10 billion per year. We need to start experimenting to learn the dangers and adapt.

We don't want to be in a place where we have to do this in an emergency. We need to more fully understand the science of it in less dramatic ways.
> Those issues could be addressed in the article. In open debate.

It's a non-tabloid newspaper. What I want and expect from such a publication is to only see stories for which the basic underlying facts have already been verified. There might still be disagreements over the implications of those facts and how to act on them, which I want and expect to see covered.
He is trying to lobby the Trump administration to pardon Snowden in the next three months. He said on Rogan's podcast that this is his main mission now.
But it doesn't and won't. E.g. the sea level may creep up slowly, and then all of a sudden you get a giant flood or hurricane that makes a huge portion of the coast unlivable.

And regardless, if you think moving a third of humanity to vastly different lands will be hunky dory smooth sailing, you should study history.

That is obviously categorically false, as evidenced by the political polarization within the US, as well as the large number of minority groups across the world (including in the US) who get persecuted by their own governments and fellow citizens.

Even if nationality is sometimes moderately correlated with the values you hold, when a stronger correlation exists, your alleged ideological commitment to forming in-groups and out-groups based on shared values should mean that people have the right (or even obligation) to discriminate based on non-nationality-based factors (e.g. liberals discriminating against conservatives in tech).

But that would just make it somewhat more expensive to build. The problem is that the supply is always kept insufficient. If, for example, the government would build good quality housing according to need, the housing market would implode. To build according to need was the default in here in Sweden before ~1990.
Mueller also said that, if the President did hypothetically obstruct justice, _he would not be able to bring charges_. That is Congress's job, he said.

So, let's say Mueller found ironclad evidence of obstruction. What would he have done? He told us that he would have said exactly what he did. He does not believe it was in his power to bring charges, only present evidence. And then he said "if we could say that the President did not commit a crime, we would have said so." He's speaking like a career lawyer because he is one; he can't outright tell Congress to bring charges.
How many people have asserted that they personally believe Greenwald was spreading disinformation and have also stated that they did not read his article?
The main issue I see: this story and stories like this generate interest. If it’s not published and discussed in depth on main stream media, then the only source available becomes some crazy right-wing conspiracy theory sites. So readers are forced to choose between no analysis or an analysis done by some nut-job.
It hasn't been done, it's not clear that it can be, and the problem is not in the grains that we grow, the problem is in the land. If a formerly arable area becomes a dustbowl, there's no adaptation of our food production that you can do to fix this problem.

Moving our agriculture north doesn't work either, because of the poor quality of soil in what is currently the tundra/taiga.

If you have a handful of magic beans that will grow a magic beanstalk, that will be resistant to the temperature and weather and soil changes caused by global warming, sure, by all means, share it with us, and I'll stop worrying. We don't have that handful, though, and I'm not keen on hope-based planning.
> If I produce a random TXT file saying jMyles is doing BIG BAD THING X, is it on you to show it is illegitimate?

It's on him to deny it, yes. He doesn't have to prove that it's illegitimate, but if he doesn't even say so, then that's reason enough to assume it's true.

Not going to directly engage with your argument, but this framing is frankly absurd. Alan Dershowitz is not "neutral" with regards to Trump, he was literally part of his legal defense team!
It's great to see more tools adopting tree-sitter [1].

Having a (fast) single tool that can accurately parse most commonly used programming languages is incredibly useful, but it requires the maintenance of dozens of grammars, which is difficult without a large community effort. Hopefully increased adoption means more accurate parsers and support for even more languages.

Tree-sitter powers syntax highlighting on GitHub.com and (soon) neovim and OniVim 2. Hopefully regex-based syntax highlighting is a thing of the past soon. If you haven't seen the Strange Loop conference talk on tree-sitter [2] yet, it's worth a watch.

I think a Prettier-like code formatter using tree-sitter would be cool, both in terms of potentially broader language support and native performance.

Bookmarking a page doesn't mean you absorb its contents, and I don't think a few days is adequate time to perfect these techniques.

A lifes work of bookmarks isn't very helpful in the grand scheme of things
> There have been a virtually uncountable number of high-profile investigative pieces that criticise people in power published in the last 6 months! This argument is nonsense.

They have been attack dogs of one political party or the other. But its always been this way. Social media ( especially twitter ) has shown people that journalists are political actors, not dispensers of "truth". They are part of the power structure, not a counterweight to the power structure.

At this point most newspapers should just be part of the democratic, republican or intelligence agency because that's all they are.

I can almost guarantee that most of the people here attacking greenwald and partaking in the downvote brigade are news employees or members of a particular political party. It's hilarious.
I'm a long-time Javascript hater. I recently did some vanilla ES6, now that browser support is finally at a point where you don't need to transpire to ES5 - I admit, ES6 is much nicer than things used to be, and not having to transpile is wonderful.

But realistically you still want a JS build pipeline of some kind, for minification, compiling SASS to CSS, and other things. And of course if you're doing "modern" frontend work, you're not using vanilla JS like I was - you're using a complicated framework like Angular, React etc, and having to deal with the likes of webpack.

And then there's the anaemic standard library - honestly, barely any better than it was 10 years ago. And then, largely as a result, you've got NPM-dependency hell, with hundreds or thousands of deps for just about anything. Want to trim a string - there's a package for that.

And then there are other languages and ecosystems - when you compare JavaScript to those... well, then you really have to admit it's a turd.

Hating on JavaScript isn't a bandwagon - there are many genuine reasons why people dislike it and the ecosystem. IMO, comparing it to a "circle jerk" is like that meme where some character is surrounded by fire saying "this is fine".
Ask HN: I'm a graduate who focused on C/C++, HPC and CG. What to learn next?
I also studied maths and physics, among things I do remember. From those starting subjects, and knowing that I intend to start my career in the domain of computer graphics, I'm looking for a set of other "logical" next ones to learn.

And I'm struggling with defining "logical" in this context. Because right now my primary focus is deepening the set I already have, further exploring those subjects (something I'm doing right now with C++ and CG), and maybe learn a language like Lua. But on the other hand, after finding that job, I want to broaden my general CS knowledge, I'm really curious about cryptocurrencies and what I can do as a CS engineer to help solve the big problems of our time, such as climate change. So any answer going either direction is welcomed.
Emphatically no. A son possibly mentioning his dad and alluding to things you are wildly speculating about is not “some connection.”

Every credible journalist would laugh you out of the room if you try to frame that as if it’s legitimate in any way or counts as evidence of anything besides Hunter Biden having a big mouth.

Just as they are shutting down even Greenwald if he is going to try to pull that same disingenuous crap just to keep pushing his crusade against the Democratic party leaders.

So your argument is that Greenwald's latest submission should be treated specially because he founded The Intercept as a media outlet where his submissions aren't treated specially?

Ignoring the fact Microsoft's Github has recently had DMCA insanity, a proprietary frontend, and recently enforced Webcomponents (effectively removing UXP devs who were forced to self-host Gitea just to continue working)... this seems like Mozilla is trying to outsource as much as possible from their own hosting. They also shutdown Firefox Send.

Perhaps Mozilla is having issues / unable afford their own hosting anymore?
Waves of Interest – Tracing Google Search Interest in US Election Years
I think there's an argument to be made that the impact of temporary errors in an MDN page is more significant than temporary accuracy errors on someone's Wikipedia article. If a developer goes off incorrect information on MDN it can waste days-to-weeks of development effort and potentially lead to defective software in end-users' hands.

To be fair, maybe people should view MDN skeptically just like they do Wikipedia. But I think it's valuable for it to be a reliable source and review-first is a good way to maintain that.

> and other people in the emails deny them.

No they haven't. Neither Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, James Gilliar or Rob Walker, have denied that the emails and text messages sent to Tony Bobulinski are real.
That's an absurd take on it... MDN owes this guy nothing, and this guy owes MDN nothing. But attribution, and the volunteer labor, are not part of any financial transaction, so the question of who formally owes who what is entirely irrelevant

But from the social contract, attribution is a perfectly fair expectation for this kind of work -- especially because at the time of, and even going forward, attribution was given. It may not have been codified as a public contract, but the relationship was, and is, quite clear.

And the breaking of that relationship for fairly arbitrary reasons (it couldn't be imported/converted?) is a pretty damn good reason to be annoyed -- hell, what other reason would you consider valid? If it was financial rather than social, you don't get angry, you get even (lawsuit).

Now I'm getting annoyed as I write this; its not a fucking privilege to have been given the honor of doing volunteer labor, and its not a fucking privilege to be given attribution for it -- it's like the most basic free compensation you can give for free work. It's a norm across the board
The UN and IPCC estimates there will be up to a billion climate refugees by 2050 so your dates and predictions are off by quite a bit.
If you met the developers you know through your work as a developer, then you are likely having a selection bias issue. You probably haven't met the 'developers' who come out of school not actually knowing how to be a developer... they never get jobs, or they get jobs at the lowest tier, and you never interact with them. They leave the industry before you get a chance to meet them.
I know this is disappointing, but I'm glad they open sourced the packages (see: https://github.com/quantopian) I could see it having been worse, e.g., where the entire ecosystem disappeared.

Perhaps there is an opportunity for another player to mix and match the open source packages into an alternative community. However, if Quantopian is shutting this down, it is probably because the economics doesnt make sense (perhaps accounts dont convert well?)

Anyone know what happened?

They'd also learn which user logged in via the browser loaded the link, which is different from which user may have received the link in an IMAP email box.

For example, if you're checking G Suite IMAP mail for user@biglargecompany.com, and your browser is logged in to wingsfan6969@gmail.com, Google now knows who works where.

This could be used for competitive advantage, as Google is in a lot of markets.

You may want to actually read the article. Pretty much everybody, from the Taliban, to Russians, to DoD and American intelligence, dismisses the story.

The choice lines from YOUR source:
- "On July 9, 2020, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said that Marine Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr. and DOD intelligence agencies have not found a link between alleged Russian bounties and that specific attack."

- "On September 14, 2020, Gen. McKenzie stated, "It just has not been proved to a level of certainty that satisfies me," reflecting a growing consensus among the U.S. military leaders that the anonymous sources initially presented in the media were either exaggerated or false."

Give me a break. If there was even an inkling that this story was true, it would be front-page news from now until election day.

I want to discourage anyone trying to “time dropping facts”, real or not. If you have real evidence then publish it when you get it. I disliked the NYT Trump taxes expose timing as well, although at least they put a bigger lead time to election.

GitHub's implementation does not do what you claim it does. GitHub has no behavior around porting and placing comments (while Phabricator does), GitHub just hides anything it can't place exactly. See my link above for a detailed description of GitHub's very simple implementation. I believe this is absolutely the wrong tradeoff.
Absolutely, and there're several other indicators as well. I think it's still unclear if all of it's real, and the acquisition story seems sketchy (and very unethical if true), but it seems more likely than not to be legit.

I think staying silent about it is absolutely the smartest move on Joe's part. Trying to defend the contents will only draw more attention to them. It's the media's refusal to be actual journalists that's the dumb thing.
