> It’s crazy that their lawyers think that merely referring to a privacy policy via a decal on the door is adequate acceptance of this kind of intrusion

Very abstractly, legal precedent exists for the general implementation. Texas has what's called "the 30.07 sign" codified in the penal code (30.06 concealed, 30.07 open carry)[1] which prohibits firearm carry on that property with nothing more than a proper/legal sign. The responsibility lies on the entrant to notice and comply with the sign prior to entering the establishment, no explicit acknowledgement is required by that place of business for it to be enforced.

(not saying I agree with what's going on here, only that I can see lawyers using laws like this to support the action in the face of no laws saying it can't be done like this - a judge may throw the argument out, but it could be made as a good faith argument? My mind is thinking about how in the 90s "shrink wrap acceptance" was just a given - you opened he box so you accepted the license, but in 2020 many new laws have been developed to curtail that design and now require explicit acceptance by the end-user.)

1. Norway's a breadbasket with lots of greenhouses? Here's some prime land in Norway, see if you find a greenhouse. https://goo.gl/maps/Vzn3J3HS2Nm1P1mZ7 Norway has fed itself, more or less, for a few hundred years except the odd bad year, but never exported enough to feed even one big nearby city (say Copenhagen or Edinburgh).

2. You may be adaptive and want to move to some better place, but you're also just another penniless would-be immigrant with a big house loan in the country you want to leave, you don't speak the language, so what makes you think you'd be welcome in that better place?

Does that seem like speculation? This thread is getting a little disjointed. We can't seem to agree on anything.
We in Canada already inhabited pretty much all the habitable land up here. The bits that aren’t widely settled aren’t suited for agriculture even in summer.

There’s also the boreal forest, but the consensus is that’s at a tipping point and will eventually perish in wildfires. Might be useful savannah eventually but will not be pleasant during the transition. There have already been massive wildfires in northern canada and siberia.

You might very well be right, in that those specific organizations likely have no hand in or knowledge of manipulating stock prices. (I wish I could go back to the original comment and tweak the wording to reflect this.)

But what do you think about others spreading the articles selectively to get more reach and thus influence what common shareholders do? That's a pretty easy way to achieve the exact same effect, and a lot harder to trace.

If I want to buy a movie I still buy it on disc (4k Blu-ray) if possible). Many newer movies come with a Movies Anywhere code so it also gets added to all my devices.

1. "crazy cult of home ownership" you're talking about the thing that has driven middle class wealth accumulation for most of the past 100 years? crazy cult.

2. "opt-out of the cult of home ownership, and just wait until buying makes financial sense (i.e. the bubble bursts or deflates)"

For the bubble to burst, the things driving it have to change. Since the 90s, floods of global money have been driving up the cost of housing in canada's major cities. The bubble has been bubbling for 30 years. "just wait" is not actually a viable solution.

Recent changes - an empty homes tax and a foreign buyer taxes - have been attempts to curb the problem, but it's not like we've tried all the tools in the toolchest - we've barely tried anything.
The system is apparently tracking age and gender of people visiting the information kiosk. This hardly seems like invasive tracking. Even tracking an individual's movement through the mall with the purpose of providing security and marketing analysis seems like a ho-hum no big deal to me.

If they were then taking the data and finding those people through Ring or youtube videos, sharing the pictures of people with companies to learn the earning power or tax history of a person, or using pictures of people and the store they visit to sell to Amazon or Facebook, then it would seem a step too far.

Fair enough. If another credible outlet is reporting it, they'll probably run it with the disclaimer that the NYT (or whoever) is reporting something but we haven't ourselves been able to verify A, B, and C claims. If it's a claim on a conspiracy site? Or someone has just come to them with an accusation they're unable to verify? Unlikely.

I understand the good faith about CoC but it does not serve its intended purpose. CoC is a tool to wield the power that comes with the ability to program without having to work hard to acquire the skill to program. It makes me sick to see non programmers controlling the language of programmers.
With respect to Greenwald, his view that publishing something is an unmitigated good and can be countered by other reporting is only true in theory, not in practice.

Since he’s talking about publishing an article about a Democratic presidential candidate days before an election, let’s compare that to the last time this happened.

Every media outlet starting from the NYT breathlessly repeated “but her emails”. Some of us knew it was a non story at the time, but it was impossible to compete with the front page of the NYT and 24 hour news networks. Literally everyone was focused on the god damn emails, very little on the policy proposals of each candidate. This had an impact on the election and it’s safe to say with hindsight, that it was a non story and shouldn’t have been covered. Perhaps Glenn Greenwald would call not covering it “suppression” and “censorship” but it was also the right thing to do.
Not trying to be inflammatory here. What does it matter if Microsoft has a proprietary front end for Github when all the docs are in markdown?
Both both blocking and running a story are conscious actions with political consequences and which have the potential to undermine trust. Plenty of people lost trust in the media following their focus on the Hillary Clinton email scandal, which amounted to nothing but likely swayed the election.

There seems to be some sort of paradox of tolerance to trust and the news media.

In principle, we should allow all information. However, bad faith actors can easily take advantage of this principle, and flood the airwaves with dubious and ultimately-overblown stories (see Clinton's emails). If bad-faith actors are afoot (which seems the case here), then at some point an editor needs to step in and refuse to print the story—the question though, is when? And is there anyway to step in, and have it not look like censorship?

I don't think HN comment threads are a good place to get therapy. At best you get a variety of opinions and some personal anecdotes. I posted about my own struggle with shyness and introversion above. If I still suffered from shyness and introversion I would get therapy, I wouldn't come to HN and ask random people what to do.

In the spirit of trying to help, let me point out that your comment, and some others from people who apparently don't have networks of friends and colleagues, start the discussion with a negative tone. "That's fine for you but I don't have a network, I guess that means I've failed." Comments like that communicate giving up and blaming external forces, or things outside your control. We can all control whether we get along with people and cultivate relationships. Some people are better at that than others, but it's a skill anyone can learn if they want to. It's probably harder than learning a new programming language, but it has a couple of orders of magnitude more value in the long term. And it's never too late to start.

I'm not trying to be harsh on people or show off. I had the shyness/introversion problem when I was younger, and the lack of friends and professional network to go with it. The problem was my own behavior, not the world, not some cloud hanging over me I couldn't control. It took a person with insight who cared enough to try to help me to let me see I could change my behavior. Ironically that person was a new acquaintance I had just met a few days before. Just like changing any self-defeating or limiting behavior you start by acknowledging it and committing to change. Try CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy), that might help if you can't push past it on your own. What doesn't work is telling people "I'm introverted" or "I don't have friends."
A colleague of mine has been testing out all of the RISC-V chips he can get his hands on, including a few SiFive boards. He really likes them.

Check out his free book if you are interested in understanding SiFive's boards or RISC-V in general: Making a RISC-V Operating System using Rust (https://osblog.stephenmarz.com/)
They start at the same place but it works better (more resolutions, greater hardware support, fewer bugs, etc), includes features that are outside the scope of the driver itself in the Linux design (EDID querying and matching for dynamic resolution and refresh rate detection), performs much better when doing software-accelerated operations, has driver/abstraction-level DPI scaling, and is compatible with all DE/software that doesn’t try to directly use OpenGL.

Mostly it’s just that the video abstraction on Linux is driver-dependent (eg access to video device/fb is dependent on choice of driver) functioning at a lower level than the Windows equivalent.

I’m not sure if it’s true but I hear Wayland is throwing away all support for non-drm framebuffers?

Did you watch the Tony Babulinksi interview with Tucker Carlson? It shows that Joe Biden had an ownership stake in and was directly involved with his son's company that received a 5-10 million forgivable loan from a top member of the Chinese Communist party. This directly contradicts claims Joe Biden has made throughout his campaign and at the last debate.

No, given the organizational response ("SRE teams are removed and all SRE are embedded into the product teams to do dedicated work for them.") It seems to be like the motivation for Agile cross-functional teams instead of separate Analysis, Design, Coding, Testing, ... teams, and like DevOps, and like DevSecOps, etc., yet another instance of realizing that throwing products over internal walls in organizational handoffs produces inefficiencies.
> 4x 1GHz... low end NAS

I still can’t get used to this. Just thinking of how much has been accomplished on 4.77 MHz.
Thanks for backing your opinion with a good summary like this. It provides a good framework for discussion. People should read it. That said, although it outlines the issues well, I disagree with many of their conclusions. I think in parallel, people should watch the 17 minute version of Carlson's interview with Bobulinksi and determine for themselves how well the details match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zLfBRgeFFo. Or if video averse, read the transcript here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/10/27/tucker_ca....

Just to pick one example, here's Politifact on the question of who "the chairman" referred to: "Bobulinski has also claimed that Joe Biden was the person described in another message days later as "the Chairman." Whereas the interview goes much further than just a "claim". Instead, it directly shows a text message sent to Bobulinski by Rob Walker (the "Biden family representative") clarifying that "the Chairman" does in fact refer to Joe Biden: https://youtu.be/2zLfBRgeFFo?t=906 (or search the transcript for "the chairman").

Now certainly, the text message might be faked, or Rob Walker might not actually know what was meant. Hopefully, if allowed to happen, future research will be able to determine this. But this is something that can and (probably) should be verified. To reduce this to "Bobulinksi has also claimed" doesn't give adequate weight to fact that Bobulinski did a surprisingly good job of providing verifiable evidence for his interpretation. So yes, read the Politifact article, but also listen to the interview before deciding to trust its conclusions!
N=1; what about too many brains is dangerous in general?
No reasonably reliable source says it. That's why I called it absurd. It's a "kids these days" thing (parent post was about scientists and politicians -- this isn't off topic, as politicians are involved, but kids account for the numbers). They call themselves "doomers," and though some of them base their predictions of doom firmly in reality, there's a large faction that doesn't. "Human extinction by 2030" (or its predecessor, "human extinction is inevitable by 2030") are memes in that circle. They cross-pollinate, as memes do, so you might have seen a few, but may not have internalized that a double-digit percentage of kids believe wholeheartedly in them.

Back when I was in high school, the eco-panic 10 year prediction was that oil would run out and the world economy would collapse. It didn't. I see some of my classmates on facebook from time to time. They remembered this instance of crying wolf and updated their priors accordingly. Now they ignore legitimate climate worries. It's unfortunate.
I imagine they used this to also serve up suggestions on the kiosk. Mens vs Womens, Bongs vs. Bath linens, etc.

the NYC subway system has big human sized iphone like map displays complete with a facetime camera, presumably capturing the same stuff.

Webflow is a great and convenient platform for both those who want to start their own business and those who just want to blog. I find Webflow an excellent platform to build and design the website on it. In addition, if any person is not sure about their abilities to design, then they can turn to the agency for help. For example, Eleken. On their page (https://www.eleken.co/ui-ux-design) any person can find out more information about the platform and about the company as well. I hope somebody could find this information useful ^^.

Theoretical questions:

1. Let's say we could actually harvest all of this. Would it _actually_ be worth that amount? Once it gets here, wouldn't we have so much of it that people would be trying to give it away?

2. Would this impact our rotational speed at all? Is it possible that adding mass could slow us down?

This is generally trotted out as an argument that we should continue with the status quo and do nothing until we have certainty. In practice, we've already begun an experiment in mass-scale terraforming of our environment by emitting vast amounts of CO2. Since we don't know exactly what this will do, but every indication is that the outcome will be catastrophic, we should be working as hard as possible to halt our emissions now. Once we've done that, we can wait for certainty.

C# guy here.

I don't think things were ever as bad in the dotnet world as they are in Java, but l do still come across a lot of what you're describing here. Thankfully though, a lot of devs do seem to have "awakened" - it feels like there is a lot less cargo-culting of "best practises" such as layers, interfaces and abstract classes for everything, tests so full of mocks you can't see anything being tested etc.

C# is a fantastic language, but as with any OO language there are lots of abstraction-related traps to fall into.
The problem is the selectivity with which the MSM acts. The MSM spent weeks pouring over Kavanaugh's yearbooks and attempting to ruin the lices of the Covington high school kids but they can't do some basic investigation on a story that has been corroborated multiple times?

Facebook itself is sort of a DDOS attack on your pre-frontal cortex isn't it?
OK, so that would mean it was fair to delay reporting on it until it was investigated. Has any investigation happened? Are the media reporting on how they chased down leads to confirm or deny the report? What about the claims of "misinformation from a foreign nation", have journalists gotten to the bottom of that beyond just repeating what the "intelligence services" have said?

So far, the "investigation" by the media sources who suppressed the story literally seems to be to not even ask if the evidence is real from those who it's targeting, and to just run with the idea that there's plausible deniability so it must be false. As if there'd be anything other than plausible deniability in a real corruption scandal.

Your world makes sense, but only if "cannot verify" means "tried and failed" not "didn't try and suppressed based upon the assumption it was invalid", as is the publicly stated methodology taken by the Washington Post.
