Aggrieved left leaning pundit throws tantrum, self exiles. So cliche. So performant.

Glenn Greenwald, Mark Crispin Miller, Greg Palast, Keith Olbermann, Harlan Ellison, Bill Maher... just from the top of my head.

I love their work but omg they must be terrible to work with. Greenwald can't even get along inside the org that he cofounded.

I've worked with similar artists, purists, ultimatists. It's exhausting. Harlan Ellison biopic "Dreams with Sharp Teeth" captures it perfectly. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1018887/

Contrast Glennwald with others who figure out the working artist schtick.

Bill Maher did a new thing on cable.

Rachel Maddow somehow plays the corporate media game.

Even Chris Hedges, the world's biggest Eeyore (or Marvin the Robot from HGTG), gets paid.

Some leftists figured out the podcast game. Pod Save America, Young Turks, "bread tube".

Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias launched a new masthead (vox.com). Seriously impressive.

And contrast the left and right ecosystems.

Rightists have time proven playbook. Merch, weird advertisers, tours and events, stable sources of funding.

If Limbaugh and Alex Jones and Shapiro can find patrons to seed their endeavors, and customers to buy their wares, surely leftists can suck it up too.
On the other side of this point: getting paid for work is a lot better than not getting paid to work.

Those are great resources. One I'd add to it, for general ruby programming, is the Well Grounded Rubyist (https://www.manning.com/books/the-well-grounded-rubyist-thir...) . It's been kept up to date (3rd edition was released in 2019) and I found it very readable and informative.
Sure. It makes the world I'd like to live in possible, it doesn't guarantee we'll get it.

But foundries will burn whatever chip you have the money to pay for. Having a robust open standard ISA lowers the barriers enough that I'm confident we'll see free-as-in-freedom CPUs and GPUs come out of the project.
A browser-based password manager mostly solves the confusables problem. If your password manager matches by domain name, and someone tries to phish you, it will immediately clue you in that something's not right.

Unfortunately this doesn't solve the problem in general, because most people don't use password managers.
They're an organization as much as any decentralized structure can be. Is Mastodon an "organization", and can said imaginary "Mastodon" organization, or Rochko and any contributors to the project anyway be held liable for the goings-on in individual instances that are meant to be autonomous by design?
A huge part of why I've come to like it is because I use the Doom configuration that comes with sane and very usable defaults out of the box. A Vim user can hit the ground running with it.

I don't think I could've persisted long enough had I tried using a vanilla GNU Emacs.
If it is that easy to fix, then why does it happen over and over and over with posts on HN? There is obviously enough of a barrier (either in time or cost) that keeps everyone from doing it.
I don't understand what is the big deal, it is a publication, they can have their editorial line and unlike Twitter or Facebook they will also have to bear the consequences if they publish something problematic.

The problem is with platforms which benefit from both worlds. They are considered as utilities when it comes to bear the consequences of what they publish but as a publication when it comes to their ability to decide what they publish and what not.

I think that there should be a distinction between a forum like HN, which should be able to curate their content without being considered a publication because it deals with a specific subject and community, to a general platform like facebook or twitter which should be considered as a utility not different to a phone or electric company.
"before a cover-up"
Its been talked about and has as many holes in it as the other dozen attempted smears.
On Venmo when you send money to a new person they say "This is the first time you've sent money to so-and-so" and recommend you confirm the receiver's phone number (though you can also skip it).

I think a similar warning could be fine for passwords and auto-fill information: "This is the first time you're sending a password to googie.com, which is registered to the Googie Real Estate Corporation. Is that what you mean to do?"
You don't really need a mailing list, anything as obsolete as the e-mail format and protocols it relies on to achieve this. All you need is an offline-first system with mandatory redundant caching and no unattended cache flushing. Ideally it should also intend clients to distribute seen messages between each-other. It can also store each message hashes in a blockchain.

Legacy e-mail should be gone for good, with its 7-bit headers (it takes 24 bits to represent a 8-bit symbol in "quoted-printable"), codepage hell (most of the Americans can hardly understand, meanwhile e-mail software still doesn't default to UTF-8), overquoting tradition (most of the people quote all the messages of the thread below every message and the software encourages this), pointless subject field encouraged for every message (which usually remains intact when the subject changes, and often is of little informativeness from the very start), incompatible HTML formatting, etc.
It's interesting you'd mention that, because most of the program is "mechanical", you manipulate things in 3d, but for some things you have to go into a window and connect a few 2d nodes like the gates in motherboard mode. I was thinking maybe I should use 3d manipulation for everything, maybe the video you posted could serve as inspiration for 3d gates.
Why can’t the children be placed in foster care until their own biological families are found? CPS does this all the time with domestic population. Although, family separation under CPS seems cruel and horrendous too.

Will this lead to a policy change within the domestic Child Protective Services Dept? Also wondering if other countries have their own version of CPS.

I wrote a Lisp in F# last year, and I started with Fexprs and used them as the basis to write quasiquote and defmacro, which are then used to write things like defun and let:

"backtick char ` is expanded to quasiquote by the reader"
(defmacro! quasiquote
(flambda (form)
(_qq-expand form)))

(defmacro! define-macro
(flambda (sig :rest body)
`(defmacro! ~(car sig)
(flambda ~(cdr sig) ~@body)) ))

(define-macro (defun name vars :rest forms)
`(def! ~name
(lambda ~vars ~@forms))

(define-macro (lisp/let bindings :rest forms)
`( (lambda
~(map first bindings) ~@forms)
~@(map second bindings) ))

(define-macro (let :rest forms)
(if (contains? forms :in)
`(~'clj/let ~@forms)
`(~'lisp/let ~(car forms) ~@(cdr forms)) ))

There is a certain amount of brain-warping required understanding it all, and getting the nested quasi- and regular- quotes right takes some getting used to, even for me going back and trying to grok it -- but it's bootstrapping code, so once your primitives are defined, you can move on.

You are right, but it goes both ways. If a writer at the Federalist or Breibart tried to publish a piece arguing AOC's economics actually had some merit, they would not be met with an enthusiastic response from their professional and social circles.

Polarization and factionalism on both sides of the media is the problem.
> The point is to communicate with other people here and now

Forums are -- or used to be, anyway -- a hybrid form of communication: it's both immediate but also useful for achival purposes. Many forums will tell you to read a specific thread when you want info about something in particular. In some forums, users use specific threads for archival/progress of a project.

Chat is ephemeral like you describe, but forums aren't necessarily.
As far as I'm concerned, this is akin to suggesting you shouldn't back up the data on your computer because it distracts from protecting your working installation. You can do both—invest in a back-up strategy, while investing more money and vigilance in protecting the primary source.

Space exploration is more though, because not only is space exploration an investment in a back-up plan, it brings very real benefits home to earth. The whole point of exploration is that you don't know what you are going to find or what the repercussions of what you find will be.

yes, it's almost as if he sees conspiracies and abuses of power everywhere. preposterous.
A lot of phishing, and other online financial crime, is perpetrated by groups operating with the support of their home governments. There's no way to hold North Korean state-backed phishing/criminal hacking groups accountable without disconnecting North Korea from the Internet or going to war with them. Similar issues apply to curtailing online crime committed by Russian mafia entities, as they are well connected to the Russian government.

An alternative strategy would be to crack down on the money laundering channels used by criminal entities to get money from their victims, but this would be politically difficult as it would involve shutting down grey-market banks that are well used by the ultra wealthy to evade taxes and pay bribes.
I think it depends on the task. If I'm writing something I only have cursory familiarity with (which is very often) It's kind of indispensable to have another screen, because to rapidly implement code, test if I actually got it right, and refer to both the output and the docs i need at least:

1. Browser (sometimes two, one for docs the other for stack overflow / googlin')
2. Execution shell
3. Editor (also frequently doubled - if there are imports or more than one file involved)
4. (occasionally) utility shell - for traversing the project directory and assessing changes

...having these split up by workspace just feels super clunky. Having them 10deg of eye rotation away is way better.
Further context as to why the editors of the intercept seem to have been acting in an unprecedentedly partisan way here, from Greenwald:

"...under my contract, and the practice of The Intercept over the last seven years, none of my articles is edited unless it presents the possibility of legal liability or complex original reporting, and not one of my articles in the last fifteen years — published with dozens of major media outlets around the world — has ever been retracted or even had appended to it a serious correction."
Basically this means that all land is effectively rented from the government. It's an interesting proposal, but how would price discovery occur?
So it's basically trophy money. However 1-6% shares on the startup, that's a lot of shares for a trophy.

They're claiming they're publishing articles negative on Biden as well, but I don't see any of those from the last few months (you know, the times that matter with the election looming). Do you have any examples?
In theory, states can't print money - it's illegal and no one would accept it regardless. (California has come close with some of its IOU's but that's another story.)

Certainly there will be a push for federal money printing to bail out states, though, you're right. Whether it actually works depends on politics and maybe how far things swing in 5 days.

It's not about the holes, it's about if it's newsworthy to even discuss, and in my opinion it is newsworthy to discuss. There's a difference between holes and bullshit. The emails are real; the extrapolations and Bobulinski's claims are what's unclear. Some of his claims are objectively true, and some may not be.
A solution could be displaying the credibility of the page. For example: age of URL, how many users have been using it, how reputable is the domain, and so on. Even if a bank changes their login URL, the old domain will point to it.

The issue with this is that it requires a crawler that determines this. In a way, the existing safe browsing mechanisms already offer the infrastructure.
Displays had fewer pixels in that era. Files were much smaller (the video and mp3 files we have now would have been considered insanely large back then).
One of the reasons why you can is that higher temperature move climate zones around. In particular they increase the size of deserts like the Sahara. Rich areas with expanded deserts, like California, can pipe in water from elsewhere. But areas like subsaharan Africa are a different story.

In short, it is easy to become a climate refugee from a little warming when that results in drought for you.
Agreed. But like email, I expect forum threads/posts to stay indefinitely and be searchable, until I explicitly delete them.

Email is a persistent conversation which gets archived indefinitely, not an ephemeral one like talking with our mouths.

How a $1B Company made its First $1M in Revenue
Maybe I am not understanding your argument.

If stock A is going to pay a dividend of $1 per share, you are suggesting that the price of the stock is going to be $1 higher than it would have been if there was no dividend? Ok, that's fine. But, then you actually get the $1 paid to you.

If they are including dividends in the returns, then they are talking about total returns, and the formula for a total return is (price + dividend) / (previous price).

If you ever look closely at the claims that the market goes up by an average of 7-10% yearly, you'll see that it always includes dividend reinvestment. Returns are way lower if you don't include the dividends. If you are cash them out as they come, they call that the income return on your investment.

EDIT - I'll also point out that the US returns, according to that source study, are coming from CRSP. CRSP publishes US data according to their own methodology. Chinese data is not coming from them, and there is no reason to believe that it is using the same methodology. Apples v Apples, you know.
Burn out: the emotional toll of being a politician revealed
Disposable income went down for a lot of people, such as truck drivers, who's per-diem became taxable income.
I don't think the mass is as important as accessible mass - let's say you can mine up to 4 km deep (the deepest mine on Earth at the moment) & you can't easily do that any, there might be ocean, glacier, or even a city on top of the resource you want to mine. That limits you even further for terrestrial mining.

Asteroid on the other hand are mostly just a few kilometers in size with a very few being bigger than tens of kilometers. That might quite possibly open much bigger mining volume than what's currently avalable on earth - rather than a big sphere with much stuff inaccessible due to being too deep, you now have millions of chunks floating around with a lot of stuff to dig through in the 4 km limit.
No oceans, cities or glaciers to block you as well.

And the arbitrary 4 km limit most likely does not really apply for asteroids - they are all long cooled down & the gravity is negligible
so nothing should really limmmit you from digging hundreds of kilometers through Vesta looking for valuables. Also some findings indicate that processes that lead to dilution of minerals on earth might have taken place after asteroids formed, so it might be possible to find the stuff we look for in quite a pure and ready to use state.

> Ironically, I can’t actually read this blog post because it has become unavailable. I suspect that undermines his entire point.

I know people are really enjoying dunking on this guy for his web service outage, but I really don't think this is the right takeaway.

On this topic specifically he notes:

> All major commercial services such as reddit, Facebook and so forth keep everything a secret that is not ultimately necessary to use their services. Their software is a secret, they don't offer open APIs or only very crippled ones, you don't have the possibility to get to the raw data. So no luck there. You do have a lock-in situation.

This is an issue, not of availability, but of control.

Yeah, okay, his blog might be experiencing an outage right now. But he can move it. He can shift the content to another medium. He can back it up and retain ownership over it. As he very rightly points out:

> without very good support for data export, service duplication, open standards, any content you provide in closed web-based services will be lost just as MySpace already lost twelve years of content just so, just to mention one big example.

But, hey, let's ignore that and joke about his blog being down. After all, who doesn't enjoy a little schadenfreude from time to time, right?
> even the modal outcomes ... will likely kill hundreds of millions of humans

Once we are dealing with scenarios where hundreds of millions of humans are dying, it becomes harder to rule out the possibility of some desperate political or military leader resorting to using nuclear weapons. From there it is a small step to full nuclear war and the deaths of billions of humans.

Perhaps the "optimistic" scenarios are ones in which the hundreds of millions of humans that die are located far away from any nuclear armed countries, or at least those countries aren't destabilised by the economic and migration consequences of those deaths. I can, unfortunately, imagine militaries being routinely used this century for wiping out the remaining civilian populations of failed states.
Or maybe because your company's been complicit in feeding high-engagement videos and content to users, indiscriminate to whether the type of engagement is toxic or the damage the videos do, sending those users into a vicious, cult-like rabbit hole and disconnecting them from reality.

Or you'll have to remind me where Snowden, possibly the most thorough and careful whistleblower of the last century, talked about the "deep state" or any of that QAnon shit.
I wonder what's replacing the ads from travel(hotels, flights, packages).

It's just good foreign policy to meddle in the internal affairs of your biggest international rivals. Do you think the paranoid and allknowing American government doesn't do the exact same thing? Greenwald's position has ALWAYS been Russiagate was overblown nonsense. And I agree.
All of my traeffik setup with the exception of some toml for the forwarded port file-descriptor thing are handled in the labels of my docker-compose file. I'm not totally sure if that means I'm using automatic mapping or not, but I do explicitly tell it which ports should be exposed and which domain they should route to (all my language about this is pretty fuzzy since I haven't looked at it in awhile).

I don't need to dynamically set up the new ports really. I just have a shell script on the server that forwards the ports using ssh forwarding, and those ports probably won't ever change.

Have you done something similar with an alternative tool? It wouldn't break my heart to migrate from traefik to something else, although I do REALLY appreciate how it integrates into docker-compose and how easy it makes letsencrypt cert creation / renewal (I didn't really like the nginx solutions I was seeing for letsencrypt)
