>Not even Fox News or the WSJ would touch this one.

Fox New's most popular show, and as far as I know the most popular cable news show there is, dedicated their entire hour to an interview with one of the people involved in this story, and has been covering the story extensively for the last week. What you are saying here is absolutely wrong.

And I mean, just a quick google search also shows that WSJ was writing stories about this a couple of weeks ago: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-hunter-biden-business-11602...

Can anyone tell me why 1Password is specifically suggested over, say, literally any other password manager?

Why is 1Password better than your browser’s own, free, preconfigured manager?
To be fair the RPi 4 8 GB with a UAS disk is getting pretty good: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2020/09/24/raspberry-pi-4-running... I use it for Arm development.
In chrome for me this happened automatically with the cyrillic apple.com. However doesn't happen with any other website. Seems pretty smart.
The real issue with Reddit and Quora is anyone can contribute an opinion, and "best" answers are chosen by upvotes. It leads to people who have no idea what they're talking about getting upvoted regardless of the accuracy of their replies. This leads to only a cesspool of information. I'm not concerned about the questions of Reddit being unstable because of selective whatever, I wouldn't want anything on Reddit to become long term knowledge.

There's no way to find people to trust. There are other uses of Reddit, like content discovery, and completely destroying your life with obsession.

There wasn't any evidence of Trump colluding with Russia, though, as explained in Mueller's report. Greenwald has in the past gone so far as to even doubt interference, but he seems to have changed his stance and on JRE the other day he did say they interfered. Also, as you can tell from my post history, I strongly dislike Trump and everything he stands for, to be absolutely clear. I just want to accuse him of the thousands of things he's actually guilty of and not the things he's not guilty of.

If you read Taibbi's article, he's not at all claiming that the emails are damaging to Biden. The headline is "With the Hunter Biden Expose, Suppression is a Bigger Scandal Than The Actual Story".

Like in my posts, he's talking about the media's and Twitter's behavior in censoring the story - not the emails themselves. Everything he says is perfectly consistent with what's said in the Politico article you linked.

Taibbi is one of the most reputable, high-integrity, rational, and truth-seeking journalists working today, in my opinion. Reality often sits between a gray area of poles.
> Media organizations are not interested truth or accuracy of their stories, but simply how many ads and subscriptions the stories can sell. And that's not the say they are motivated by greed - even worse, they are often motivated by missionary-like zeal to promote a cause.

Why do you believe Glenn is immune to this interest? The entire point of this is to promote his newsletter.

> I think Glenn hoped to create a media entity that regarded truth as the measure of merit of a story vs. how well it promoted a cause and ads/subscriptions. Now that the experiment has failed so obviously, good for him for moving on.

How do you know that "truth" is not the measure of merit for this story? You haven't read it; you're simply taking Glenn at his word.
Investors bring in fresh money. The real "mystery" is why people aren't building more housing to take advantage of the demand. When you are starting a company the hardest problem by far is finding people who buy your products. In real estate it's exactly the opposite.

It seems like the author is missing the point here. The whole point of "Commenting" platforms is conversation. The fact that these conversations are archived is coincidental. When I post on HN or Reddit, I don't care if the conversation lasts a week, let alone a year or more.

Perhaps all passing conversation is "Irrelevant" in the author's perspective? I don't know, but honestly... if this were deleted after 3 days, I wouldn't care.
I would argue that if the data is stored, it is only a matter of time before it becomes monetized in the manner you are mentioning. There has to be a firewall to prevent that step being taken. Mindlessly filming for future review in the event of a security issue is one thing. Intelligently analyzing the frames for identification purposes is where the feeling of “my privacy has been invaded, or could easily be in the future via storage of my likeness” comes from.

I don’t see this as a victimless act - just that the victimization is uncertain at present but almost 100% certain to occur the more this behaviour occurs.
"We have nothing to add" is not "concurring". You're making a leap of logic there. It's the same thing as saying "we can neither confirm nor deny".

The "Senate Committee" you speak of is chaired by Ron Johnson, who is a staunch Trump ally and again, a rank partisan.

In order for the general public to have any degree of trust about this, there is going to have to be some authority who is at least not a partisan who can speak with authority to actual facts. Not vague "assurances" with no evidence. This issue is way too political to trust Republicans, especially after Benghazi (went nowhere after dozens of investigations by partisans) and Hillary's e-mails (went nowhere after a whole year of hyping it up as the worst crime ever by a politician). This entire thing just smells like the next big Republican freakout over nothing.
I'm surprised this didn't happen 5 years ago when the original group with Lee Fang and Glenn Greenwald were having open feuds on Twitter with the later corporate hires from NYT and WP who clearly held different views on journalism on just about every topic than Greenwald.
Not publishing an editorial calling for an authoritarian crackdown is facism now?
Unusually cold is all relative.

It's unfortunate that reality is often biased. Sometimes, there simply aren't two sides. Frankly the "teach the controversy" stance has led to a lot of negative knock-on effects for traditional journalism, as they are often up against op-eds masquerading as journalism. You can be impartial without representing "both sides." For instance, I don't think history books that paint the Third Reich as exclusively negative aren't being impartial.

I'm not says this is the case necessarily here, but it is something to remember.

Tantrums, rage-quitting, and playing the victim are pretty consistent with his schtick.

It’s sad, really. I used to respect the guy and still follow his work, but I think spending all of his time on conspiracies and abuses of power has maybe warped his perception of reality.
Are you a startup founder?
Can we all agree that - sure - all those things look dodgy and most likely Hunter Biden benefited from his dad's position, but:

1) That doesn't prove Joe Biden himself benefited directly from it (that's implication all these last-minute 'stories' are trying to make)

2) So far nobody has presented a single shred of proof of anything other than hearsay and the testimony of people who seem to have a really big chip on their shoulders. In fact, the only 'recording' that has been presented is of a third party warning Bobulinski that him making a scandal out of that would affect them all (it's not Hunter Biden in the recording)

3) Tucker Carlson's dog conveniently ate his homework last night

4) The source of the story - Rudy Giuliani - seems to be severely detached from reality, to the point that he somehow fell for the simplest prank in the book and got himself into a Sacha Baron Cohen film

5) There's been so many contortions to this story - from accusations of child pornography, to all kinds of evidence that would be 'presented' but never materialized - that it's very hard to believe anything these messengers are saying anymore

This story stinks to high heaven. Did Hunter Biden benefit from his dad's position? Possibly, but the people trying to push the narrative have shat the bed so many times already I find it very hard to believe they are motivated by anything other than politics.
>“Rails generates a lot of functions and methods for you that aren’t defined in the code—I bet that will be hard to debug.”

This was definitely the biggest obstacle for me learning Rails (and also Ruby at the same time). And also figuring out what part of the language was Ruby, and what part was Rails. Thankfully Rails' docs have come a long way from just OK to being some of the best in the business.

Redbpf is a very cool project. But note that the Rust you get to work with is extremely limited: you don't get loops or native function calls (redbpf inlines them in the LLVM IR), and so essentially no library support. There are some BPF programs you can express in C (anything that relies on a bounded loop, for instance to walk a packet a byte at a time) that I don't think you can in redbpf right now.

(Bounded loops are really fussy anyways and you probably won't use them in most programs, so writing in a single language rather than Rust and C might easily be enough of a win).
Note: it's also the industry adapting to reality.

Spotify, Netflix, etc., are possible today because the copyright owners created streaming licenses that recognize that ephemeral access to content is a different use case than downloading. (Streaming licenses are cheap compared to download licenses; my old employer streamed millions of hours of music from the Big 3 labels for a total annual cost of less than $2500.)
Line-out guarantees that even if there's DRM in the streaming decoder, you're getting the actual audio stripped of all DRM.

It has the simple elegance of writing your DRM protected audio to a CD and then ripping that to MP3, which is a process most non-audio nerds already understand from the DRM iTunes days.

That said, I agree that you could get a slightly more accurate sound with a virtual audio pipe than if you use a DAC/ADC combo, even if modern jitter is negligible

It's just that the internet allows them to be async conversations. A forum is fairly equivalent to email, just usually more public than email and the underlying infrastructure isn't federated.

I find it fascinating that we would never be talking about allegations against the Bidens family on the hacker news if not for the heavy handed censorship from newspaper editors and tech.
Just watch the comments rubbishing the article and its author without even bothering to read the entire thing. These deniers cry of "reverse casteism" saying college seat reservations for equitable caste diversity is something that "hampers" their "opportunities to grow", in an attitude similar to that of many racists in the West who cry wHiTe GeNOciDe.
Indeed. If you filter the image data, you should _not_ do bilinear on top of that, since bilinear is a box filter, so you'd soften the image for no good reason.
Also, a systems engineer usually has a different way of thinking about a problem then a software engineer and vice versa.

This helps tremendously in troubleshooting and building stable products.

I was tempted to buy a Chromecast Ultra because my Roku does not support Peacock app.

BUT I stopped short of buying it because I have Google home mini which never seems to be able to register my preferred temperature unit (Celcius) regardless of how many times I have tried on its not-so-intuitive home app (plus can no longer connect to its Bluetooth for playing YouTube videos for example). That and reading a bunch of news/comments like this thread helps me make a fairly quick decision to not purchase Chromecast.

I sincerely hope Google CEO or someone who really cares about their org's reputation see people complaining about their product strategy. They should learn how to keep what's working and most importantly, to not venture into anything unless they can commit to it for at least 10 years. Of course, they have their cash cow, which is the advertising/search unit, so maybe they'll never care.
He founded The Intercept and could have been the EIC choosing what gets published. But he wanted to focus his work elsewhere. Why are they speaking as if he's a rank and file peon that won't behave?

Forget about the Intercept for a second and try it like this: Imagine a tech startup cofounder wanted to remain in the trenches instead of managing others. Then she's accused of not respecting the management that formed around her. Yeah, no shit, they have to earn it. And it takes a lot of fucking nerve to tell her "you didn't give yourself a management job before now, even though you were at one point free to. Therefore you're unqualified to make this specific managerial decision, even though you deliberately created a contractual route to retain that power over those certain choices even if it isn't your day-to-day job."

Your evidence doesn't address the statement you are apparently refuting. It only shows that, A. There are a lot of negative Trump stories, which would make sense for a neutral platform, and B. They use unprofessional tone in their headlines, which is certainly a reasonable thing to criticize.

We must strive for technological solutions that make energy cleaner, cheaper, reliable, safe, and abundant for energy is truly the path out of poverty

I think this is the key takeaway. Talk of walking back modern prosperity for the sake of the planet will never work -- the haves won't give up what they have, and the have-nots won't stop striving.

Fear is a powerful motivator for division. Aspiration is a powerful motivator for unification. Focus on aspiration.

I don’t understand why you don’t want to blame the victim. My own father entered his bank password into a random site he received via SMS. The url wasn’t even similar.

The only solution to this is to tell users to look at the URL bar and make that work well. If they don’t, you can’t do much.

I imply nothing. Must everyone harbor a shadowy agenda?

The math does not care. For some number of slot machines, for some variance of payout, there is a single optimal explore-exploit strategy. If there are two slot machines, then a optimal agent does very little exploring. If there are a million slot machines, almost all with a $1 payout, but one with a $1 trillion payout, then you are inclined to do more exploring.[1]

Your disagreement is not with the theorem, but the shape of the distribution of slot machines.

And, of course, that distribution changes over time. For most of human history there either was no technological progress or it was imperceptible across a lifetime. Our current riot of ever-changing software tools is unprecedented. And, as hard as it is to believe when we're in the thick of it, eventually computing will become a mature technology. A century from now, you can be sure there will be fewer programming languages in use, and they will be more similar to each other. If humans are still programming, the Delphi graybeard will be the norm, not the exception.

The only thing that would force our current milieu to be permanent is if computing technology is inherently vulnerable to Red Queen's race-style situations, where platforms have to constantly mutate to stay ahead of attackers.

As far as I can recall, Firefox (and maybe Chrome) will still display the original glyphs if they are all from the same character set. So for example, all Cyrillic apple will display as apple, but apple where only the a is Cyrillic will display punycode for the a.
>>[Linus has] also made a lot of people's lives worse.

Are you actually saying, without irony, that it's bullshit and baseless that Linus Torvalds, one of the most famously abusive OSS maintainers in history, had made people's lives worse by way of these actions?

Linus himself has said that he recognizes he hurt people.

Not a big deal to you. Cool.

Suppose it was a huge deal to other people. I mean, it's not a hypothetical, I've provided citations.

Are the feelings of other people illegitimate when they disagree with you?

I worked as a cashier at a place that sold liquor and we would occasionally get decoys. It was usually the same young guy who would try to purchase a single beer, without saying a word.

If the cashier asked for his i.d., the guy would silently hand them card that said something like, "Congratulations, you did not fail the underage liquor sales test", and then leave.

After the 4th or 5th time of the same person trying the same purchase most of the employees learned who he was. I think law enforcement did eventually switch to a different decoy towards the end of my time at the job.
Are you sure the Intercept will survive without him?
Given the references in the comment you are replying to, I think more people might interpret as a demonstration of the astounding degree that climate models can totally miss the mark. And calls into question the degree to which we should base policy decisions - with major negative consequences - on those models.

> it is normalizing not conceding.

That's not what I got at all. I believe the article can be summarized as "If Democrats lose, where do they go from there? They'll have to concede that everything they've been saying for the last 4 years doesn't matter to the electorate. That would be a crushing blow and very hard to come to terms with". Which is obviously true when someone's entire worldview is shattered. That statement could apply to anyone.

Not once does it say "They mustn't concede" or "It would be totally fine if they didn't concede."

> The Atlantic is a left-leaning publication

I feel like you're letting your biases creep into your interpretation.
The "subjective censorship" point is one that has gained importance to me. The idea of avoiding walled garden services has been a big topic for a while but the apparent rise in ideological censorship in recent years has added a new element to it. Previously, I thought a fine solution was to publish your content on your own site and then link to it in the various walled gardens. That approach is not going to be effective if your main concern is the censorship of the walled garden. I do not mean to bring up a whole debate about censorship on these platforms, just acknowledging the fact that there is a growing amount of people who feel their content and/or content they wish to consume is being censored for ideological reasons by some of the walled garden services.
