In the golden olden days in which you allude, no one was paid to take care of children and parents. It's an argument to say we should subsidize those that care for their own parents and children (and there are numerous government programs and tax breaks that already do), but you are undercutting your thesis with this bizarre assertion.

Many old people never had kids, and don't have any family. They need paid workers to take care of them. Many readers of this comment are perhaps planning on not having kids, or even not getting married. Just imagine yourselves in 40 to 60 years - this will be you!

I have never seen compression to be considered inherently reversible, certainly not in the aerospace or hypersonics/reentry communities. I assume you come from a different background?

Care to explain your second argument? Even when the density reaches a limit, the change in pressure over the shock does not, so you can pump in energy arbitrarily (of course your gas would dissociate at some point). The total pressure loss can be complete if your initial Mach number is high enough.

That's the reason why I love the internet. Things are so easy to fact check now, at least compared to the way it was before.

Many people talk about the problem of "fake news". What they may not realize is that falsehood have always existed, but we now have unprecedented tools to debunk them.

When I was a kid, I learned loads and loads of bullshit, the glass thing was one of it. The problem was, how could I know it was wrong? Obviously, I didn't know enough about material science to figure it out by myself, and I didn't know any material scientist. Books were mostly useless for that purpose, searching for the answers would have taken days at best, and I didn't have that much time to debunk something that insignificant. Now just searching "glass thicker at the bottom" on the web yields exactly what I need.

In fact, I am quite sure, there is much less bullshit going on today, but it looks like there is more because that these are so much easier to figure out.

NY Post’s ‘Smoking Gun’ Hunter Biden Email 100% Authentic by Forensic Analysis
Sure would be terrible if judging professionals by the opinions of their peers was how we determined the legitimacy of their claims.

Down with peer-reviewed journals! We should just take scientists on their word that they're operating professionally!
The report that NBC is referring to was compiled based on public data. It can all be checked.

Cutting out news is hard when the administration actively pushes policies that affect me and people close to me on a weekly basis.

With the current government, I might lose loved ones to covid, deportation, violence, healthcare disaster, job loss, mental problems, drug abuse, gun shooting or just plain ol suicide.

Choose your poison cuz this otherwise this government will choose one for you.
No - truth doesn’t only exist in an ideal condition of math. I mean, yes maybe literally in some ways, maybe. But not really. Math doesn’t prove the sky is blue on a sunny day.

My main point is that of falsifiability. You don’t need math to make a falsifiable argument. However, much of our discourse can’t even meet this basic qualification.
You can go further back from Chomsky. I'm currently reading Guy de Maupassant's Bel Ami, which gives a grim portrait of journalists in 19th France as lazily serving the interests of those in power[1].

The thing about the situation is historically journalists have always served interests and ideologies. American journalism has a long and storied history but the idea of purely objective journalism is itself a particular kind of rhetoric and particular kind of spin that was a fine product of early 20th America. In reality, 90% of journalism is "spin" and 90% of journalism has always been spin - or interpretation or perspective or context or whatever spin you want to give spin. That journalist serve their sources, their ideologies, the interests of the owners of the journal and so-forth isn't bad unless you think everyone with power is evil (which is plausible but if you believe this, then you would be supporting some ideology outside the mainstream, which also has it's spin).

It's fairly well documented that Julian Assange worked quite actively to make the release of the Clinton emails serve Donald Trump (coordinating with the Trump and other no-nos) - not even that there was lying involved but here he went from citizen journalist to propagandist. But I don't think becoming a propagandist makes someone worse than the cause they serve. In the case of Trump, I happen think made that made him viciously evil but that's happenstance relative to the question of journalism.

Forget about the current election. Suppose you had your ideal candidate running against a definite evil, someone who pursue policies that would hurt or kill your friends and family, in a close race. If some piece of pure dirt, a politically contentless but deeply embarrassing true fact about this honestly good candidate surfaced, would consider those who pushed this fact relentlessly to be paragons of virtue?

There are some articles, a few, where pure truth can prevail- the Snowden revelations were a happy example. But many of even the revelations of journalism rest as much on power politics as they do on truth. Watergate wouldn't have mattered if there wasn't a sufficient consensus in Washington, among powerful people, that Nixon had gone too far. Equivalent scandals can evoke yawns without powerful backers, etc.

Now, go to the current election and you have a candidate of the corrupt permanent government against something like psychopathic candidate of a particular dubious right wing power complex; hardly inviting as a choice. How much are journalists "sacrificing their ethics" to push an arguably less evil? I assume quite a bit but how much should be concerned? I leave that question to you.

I believe you are correct. I had to shorten the title, and removed “observable” because the word “medieval” already refers to the science class meme that the viscous flow is at human history timescale (as opposed to ~1 nm/10^7 years).
It depends on the person. You can say the same for a politician or president.

And why are we now comfortable with not having kids? Because of atomism.

The "golden age" argument is flawed. No one seriously argues that literally everything was better in the past. Rather, the criticism is that it's absurd to have gotten rid of something positive we already had, only to replace it with something worse and gain no net benefit as a result.

It's all a matter of interconnected systems, including systems like social shaming. If it's unacceptable socially to not have a family, you'll have one. If it's unacceptable for women to work and compete with men for wealth and power, men will make enough to support their entire families, allowing at least one parent to always be there to raise children properly, instead of outsourcing that to strangers -- same for elderly care.

At the end of the day, atomism harms everyone and everything.

Australian journalist Emma Alberici[0] was eventually forced out of the national broadcaster the ABC due primarily to a single article she wrote that was critical of the Government's economic policies, pointing to historic evidence that the policies being pursued were ineffective against the problem the Government were attempting to solve.[1][2].

There are strong implications that the ABC was pressured into editing the articles and putting Emma on the outer until finally letting her go. The ABC is a government-funded but independent media organisation, but has been subject to budget cuts and unprecedented pressure from the current Government since it came to power in 2013 under Tony Abbott.

Coincidentally or otherwise, the current Australian Government is known to have a cosy relationship with News Corp, who frequently bash the ABC for, ironically, biased reporting.

Your last point is really good but there is still such a thing as a national political scene and federal government in the US, and it's a beat that we can expect a journalistic institution to cover. (despite an entire continent rolling up to those 535+ really important people).

This was a story about one of two people running for President, and an allegedly corruption-focused outlet wouldn't run it. Wtf. "Trump is worse" isn't a reason not to run that, we all know, it's everywhere all the time in all media.
It may be a bit more like the Triangle Trades of old [0].

Raw/rare materials and elements are mined in the Belt and are then sent to Earth for use in manufacture. You pick up the high quality goods and tools from Earth and ship them to Mars/Moon. Since there is water on Mars/Moon, you grow food, 'wet' supplies, and unfinished goods in the weaker gravity well for shipment to the Belt. These arrive in the Belt and you repeat the process, profiting at every spaceport.

As the metropole has overwhelming manpower/firepower due to it's high class manufacturing base and population, the threat of violence is just plain bad for business all around and is discouraged.

Now I'm gong to speculate very hard: Eventually, the lesser manufacturing base (Moon/Mars) will gain in economic and political power as their frontier life becomes more civilized and independent of the metropole. And they may try to declare independence fully. However, in the case of Moon/Mars, you're looking at a fully independent multi-generational extraterrestrial biospheres at that point and probably millions of people, if not 10s of millions, to run the whole thing. Lots of people that have never been to Earth and never plan on going. I really don't see that much trade/mining would be needed to go to Earth to build up and support permanently independent biospheres of a few generations of native Martians/Moonies.

Why? The Intercept's point is that we indeed don't know the facts, that Greenwald's article contain allegations and innuendos that can't be substantiated with the information currently available, and that therefore they edited it as they would any article to remove what couldn't be currently proven.

Even Greenwald himself acknowledges he doesn't have access to the relevant information. How does that make his claim of political censorship more credible?
I suppose this is how Youtube premium works. I think they have trouble attracting higher cost content though. I'd prefer if they had a higher tier where you can pay more and get a quality of content that matches what major networks can do.
It's definitely a lot better -- performance-wise -- now. It has its flaws but I still feel like its one of the best frameworks out there.
It is an op-ed and was supposed to be published by the Intercept as an op-ed...

The NY Times reports;

> In a phone interview, Mr. Greenwald said he had received emails from Intercept editors outlining what the publication would allow and not allow in his article. “My arrangement with The Intercept since it began is my opinion pieces are not edited by anyone,” he said.
> Why would you even settle for needing an internet connection and service subscription to watch the one show you care about?

Because I have half a dozen devices, all which get replaced every few years, that all need to be able to access that show. How do I get my show on all those devices without an internet connection and without taking a bunch of my time managing it?
Amazon third-quarter earnings soar as pandemic sales triple profits
Back in the day.... I tried to stay in HARN as much as I could, or at the very least something local. There were some minor precision problems but never anything drastic.
I didn't say the compression was isothermal.

The parent is not correct. Compression occurs at a shock, but this is not heating due (solely) to adiabatic compression. This is clearly seen by considering the case where mach number goes to infinity: in that limit, the fraction of heating due to compression goes to zero (as the gas density remains below some finite limiting value.) What is causing heating is a dissipative process in the shock itself. This dissipative process is more akin to friction than it is to compression.
You are correct that it doesn't address the laptop emails directly. The issue here is that this provably false dump that NBC identified is pushing the same basic story the laptop email attempted to expose. You're seeing domestically coordinated smear campaign. It was organized by a domestic PR firm and wrongly characterized as Russian disinformation. Certainly foreign assets (its not just Russia)have amplified it like anything else that is divisive, but at its core it was a plot to make an October surprise. NYPost broke embargo on the story and published ahead of the plan, and that kind of threw everything into chaos. They've been trying to get something out of it, but there is nothing but outrage over supression of a non-story. Emails are a remarkably verifiable thing, and ones these just aren't.

Tony Bobulinski's tale has not been corroborated, even by Murdock's own WSJ journalists.

I find this whole thrust rather remarkable anyhow. If true, Biden's family committed nepotism and would do so again if they were put into power. Really? Coming from an administration which is openly profiting from the office and giving insane amounts of power to their family members?
That may be true, but it doesn’t change the fact that locals share a large portion of responsibility. Money laundering is no doubt happening, but the activity is tiny as a fraction of the market.

To give an example of how exaggerated it is: before implementing the empty homes, the city of Vancouver estimated that 25,000 homes were empty. The final result: only 2,500, one tenth what everyone thought.
I eventually got a copy of the email and run DKIM verification on it. It passed
The Pandemic Is in Uncharted Territory
Of course to the extent that this is true, it is very sad. The plight of the elderly is so tough, it is the reason I volunteered at old folks homes in college.

But I don’t find this article very credible. It lacks objectivity and first hand sources. We must demand real journalism and acknowledge that just because a story is compelling doesn’t mean it is news.
If your goal is fighting oppression or war, does it make sense to give Trump an edge?

Who died an made Glenn Greenwald the arbiter of other people’s truth?

I’m afraid Glenn just does this for new attention, as a grift, at this point.

Rabble rouse over press oppression, go start new big press corp, rinse repeat.

Greenwald would be more interesting if he wasn’t as repetitive as Chris Mathews with a different career trajectory.

Just publish under “Glenn Greenwald” if that’s his wish? What’s with hoping traditional business mentality will result in something different?

Laws alone don’t dictate the hierarchy. Interpretation goes a long way. We’ve optimized for it.

You may also read this thread in the mailing list [0]. I may need to look up some more resources, but it seems to me that there wasn't a rigorous peer review for it.

Netflix stopped working on linux for me a few months ago. I finally figured out it was probably a wildvine related issue (and if you don't know what wildvine is, omg what a rabbit hole), and Netflix just doesn't care to fix it because fuck linux users I guess. Fuck netflix, I guess. HBO did the same thing... Showtime still works, and I finally gave into Amazon, on which I can watch my HBO shows. I think Amazon is going to come out much better in the streaming wars than many anticipate.
Version control for a genuinely long-lived project is a problem that often outlasts:

- Dominant version control and code review system(s) / paradigms.

- The current configuration of institutional owners.

- Users' trust in an owner / sponsor / maintainer. (Forks happen for reasons.)

- The involvement of developers who remember why and how decisions were made.

- The trustworthiness of the entities that control services, applications, and network real estate used for development.

Some central source of truth is usually necessary, but maintainers and contributors don't benefit when that source of truth is subject to vendor lock-in or can otherwise only migrate at great cost. For all the collaborative benefit that GitHub has undeniably wrought, platform monopolies are eventually a failure mode for end users, at least as for-profit enterprises. With the exception of the dominant silo vendors, nobody in the ecosystem really benefits from being forced to choose a silo that will be hard (and lossy) to escape later. The silos are engineered to limit mobility and channel interoperability to their own ends, for business reasons that run directly contrary to the interests of their users.

If the protocol at hand were actually up to the task, we'd spend less effort and anxiety on the problems of all the non-protocol platform tooling that's been built up around it.

I didn't say compression at a shock was isentropic. I was saying the claim that compression at the shock could not be the cause of (all) the heating, unless you simply define heating at a shock as being due to compression. Instead, I think you should separate out the heating there into two parts: one due to isentropic compression, and one due to injection of additional entropy by dissipation at the shock.
