So if I'm reading that correctly, they DO log who's using which IP address at which time. Which makes sense for abuse tracking, but means this really isn't the service to use for torrents.

EDIT: actually, from the whitepaper [0] it sure looks like they don't even get that much - you authenticate with one set of servers and then get a token to pass to the VPN tunnel servers via 'RSA Blind Signing', and so the tunnel servers never know the account that they're proxying data for. That's actually pretty awesome, if the service as implemented matches the service as described.

Am I reading that wrong or was it a DIFFERENT document, not the "evidence" on the laptop, that is attributed to an AI-generated persona?

Both the Aspen/Typhoon document and the laptop hoax documents involve Hunter and China, but are they connected in any other way?
Republican state leaders sure do talk a lot about being pro-business. It is interesting that California and Washington headquarter all four of the world’s trillion dollar public companies, plus a boatload of $100B+ companies, and vibrant startup centers.

Businesses care about things other than low taxes. Hiring well educated and talented people is certainly top of the list. States that want to grow their economies should focus on making attracting/maintaining/developing those types of people. That means focusing on livability (livability != low cost of living).
I am somewhat surprised not to see a mention of the humble x-ray tube (diode), or the medical linacs. Modern medical linacs are incredible, essentially a large block of copper that where you apply a few kilovolts and hydrogen on one end and get megaelectronvolt protons out the other end--the rf drive tube, vacuum pump, and resonant acceleration cavity is all integrated into one unit.

> It's noticeable that nobody ever faults the Republican Party

2008 brought a Democrat president along with an increased Democrat majority in both houses, so if they weren't faulted at the time (and they were) then they were certainly faulted just a few years later.
You don't have to go quite that far to get better tasting coffee. You start with a good quality roast, pre-ground is fine, because average grind size is medium to coarse, which is a good general size (esp. if you don't wanna over-extract).

For a brew method, immersion brewing (like an aeropress) is uncomplicated, fast and can make larger batches at once. Brew at ~205F for 2 minutes, extract gently, and add water if it tastes too strong. You can use that method to make a large batch at once and keep it in a thermos, or make coldbrew and then warm it up to ~160F. No need for a scale or constantly grinding the coffee, and you don't end up with a single lukewarm cup of pour-over.

For "fancy" coffee you can do the same, except instead of adding water you can add frothed hot 2% milk. And if you really just want a "coffee ritual": clean everything of old coffee residue, filter the water, bloom the coffee before brewing, wet the filter before extraction, and get your coffee:water ratio, temperature, and extraction time to match the roast. All of that and no hardware besides an aeropress.

Taxes change incentives which though affecting behavior in aggregate but each individual still gets to choose how they want to approach it. Trying to mandate behavior directly on the other hand is heavy handed and more politicial because it assumes that everyone has the same set of preferences.

Carbon taxes also allow solutions to be arrived at organically vs via fiat which also reduces opportunity for corruption when the pricing is transparent.

Hmm, restaurants from Japan have opened locations in SF though. E.g. Hinodeya, Mensho, Tsuta. Did you feel even those weren't authentic?

Hm... I think the title is misleading. The 14 individuals they studied had metabolic syndrome, not cancer, so there's no telling how a real cancer patient would react to a fasting diet. I recently had a friend starve to death during her cancer treatment. I really think she would have recovered if we had fed her more. We had 3 doctors agree, their reasoning being that cancer wastes a lot of energy that normally would be used by non-cancerous body parts, so a cancer patient should try to eat more food than they normally would have before developing cancer, on top of whatever other treatments they may be doing.
If you believe so, then you should try to break out of your bubble a little more.

The point of op-ed's is that they differ from the publication's opinion. That's why they're opposite the editorial page, to provide a contrasting viewpoint. They've got their own columnists and the board for that.
I had learned after moving to the US (pretty much any western country), it is all about "wordplay". What the agent did was not illegal. What they said could be true in their own terms.
No, every left wing news organization buried it. Even though those same organizations were happy to publish accusations of a supreme court committing gang rapes with no basis.

Fox covered it. NYP covered it. Independent journalists covered it. Left wing corporates did not.

Given the events of the past few years, with the media spending 3 years of our precious existence on salacious and false Russia conspiracy theories...maybe just maybe the NY Post has it right.
You can't buy episodes of a series(or even the entire season in a lot of places.
Well said. I think there is an element were individuals in the system, say journalists like Greenwald, may understand and see how dishonest their organization has become, and how it’s turning into a partisan tabloid, and some of the audience do too. However, they can’t easily voice their opinion or disagree without paying a price. Granted in this case he did speak up and put his job on the line, but many others probably just stay quiet and employed. So the tabloidization just spreads like cancer.

On another level I think they are selling their ability to change public opinion. That’s for to anyone willing to pay. Large companies, governments, political campaigns and so on.

Chomsky said somewhere that with media like this, you can often invert what they are saying to find the truth. Especially if they say “don’t look here, nothing to see here, look over there instead”. That could be a clue there is something really interesting they are hiding. The more effort they are expending, the more interesting the information. This laptop story has that kind of a vibe to it.

If there was nothing to it, and it was a fabrication, they would gladly turn it into a 24/7 advertisement money maker, exposing the fakery and showing everyone their journalistic investigative skills. But this level of suppression certainly raises my eyebrows...
Greenwald’s article is flawed from the very first sentence: “Publication by the New York Post two weeks ago of emails from Hunter Biden's laptop,” as if the very provenance of the laptop isn’t a hilariously unproven detail. It seems this situation says more about Greenwald than the Intercept.

Yes, you are correct, Pierre Omidyar bankrolled First Look Media and is the founder on their about page. [1]

Glenn Greenwald is just a "co-founding editor". And his profile hasn't been removed yet.

Editor-in-chief currently is Betsy Reed. So she's blocking Glenn from publishing Biden report?

Similar here... though I'm more and more inclined to just torrent what I watch even if I'm paying for the services. For live-tv, I've had lots of issues with more popular feeds. For example, when the fiance watches Big Brother, it's the worst experience, I swear I've had to download almost every episode this season for her to be able to watch... it's been pretty bad.

Not to mention trying to remember what is where etc... was so much easier when I had a list of shows, I'd check the torrent site(s) about once a week for new episodes, snag them all to a seedbox and download and watch local over the following week as time permitted. At least with less TV I'm getting more done.
> I literally have a non-existent network of people who will help me find work.

A suggestion is to just build that network of past people on linkedin, today. There's no rule saying you can only connect with people you worked with recently.

I've been on linkedin a long time (2004) and for many many years I did the introvert approach of only connecting with those I worked very closely with and considered friends. So my network was tiny.

Somewhere along the line I realized this isn't my list of friends, it's just a network of people I've worked with who I'd be willing to forward their resume to HR if they asked. That set is a couple order of magnitude larger than my list of friends. So I started sending out invites to everyone I've worked with since the 90s who was adequately competent or better. The vast majority of people accept.
> With immense amount of side-effects

This idea kept me from trying them for years, and I have not found this to be true at all for me. Again, I'm not trying to speak to _your_ situation -- for some people they're ineffective and laden with side-effects -- but there's a lot of scare-mongering for a treatment that works absolute wonders for a lot of people. I'd encourage people with anxiety to absolutely try them before deciding they're not for them.

Yes, civil suits are brought be individuals, so are less about societal pressure and more about recompense, while criminal cases are brought by the state. I believe there's also a lower bar, and civil court works by "a preponderance of the evidence" as opposed to "beyond a reasonable doubt". The courts serve different purposes.

Cable television proved this is not true. Viewership will drop to zero when something better comes along - and that something better may or may not have ads. But most people seem to have a very, very high tolerance for watching ads if there's no better option.
I get your point, but we should stop trying to get buy-in from the slowest and/or least cooperative people out there. If it's over-simplified, they'll dismiss it. If it's too complex, they'll dismiss it. If it's not certain enough they'll dismiss it. If it's too specific they'll dismiss.

There is always going to be some % of the population saying something is a terrible idea and their concerns aren't bein treated seriously enough, like the minority of people alleging that wearing face masks and social distancing is tyranny. One should certainly make a few good faith efforts to get them on board, but after the 3rd or 4th irrational or bad-faith rejection, it's OK to sideline them.
I hate to be a sourpuss, but in my experience that usually means that your long-lost former colleague is struggling to fill an unappealing vacancy, and not actually offering a valuable insider opportunity to you in particular, just because you happened to work together more than a decade ago.
As a current and former user of BitBucket, Confluence, Jira, and HipChat, the look and feel of Tara is miles away from any Atlassian product. After reading the parent comment, it still took me a few times switching back and forth to notice that both logos happen to be triangular and blueish, and even then the logos are easy to distinguish — obtuse vs. acute apex, curved vs. sharp legs, different shades and gradients of blue.

The author makes a reasonable argument against using an income tax to pay for UBI, but Andrew Yang’s platform was to establish a Value-Added Tax, not an income tax.

I don’t think that the same negative substitution incentive occurs with a VAT: purchases become more expensive, but individuals are taxed in proportion to how much they purchase rather than how much income they make, so saving/investing is incentivized.

I’m not an expert and I’m interested in seeing how I might be wrong, but that’s my initial thoughts on his argument.
Precisely. The press was willing to run with a story that had little to no supporting evidence and in the end turned out to be false.

Yet the tables are turned here and suddenly they have concerns about disinformation? To the point they won't even allow it to be discussed?

That's what impresses me about Greenwald and Taibbi. They both hate Trump. But they aren't willing to put their journalistic ethics aside because of it.
It's sad that they felt the need to punch back so hurtfully.
Most Muslims seem to manage it annually.
This is not just pertinent to Ramadan. Every 2 days in the month , there is this Hindu thing of Ekadasi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekadashi). Each of these depending on the month have a presiding deity!
The rules are simple , the day before should be a light meal , on Ekadasi dawn to next day dawn (about 36 hours in all) fasting. On Dwadasi , break this fast by first having water , meditation and then a light meal (usually milk+milk products) and community feeding if possible . Other rules include not sleeping during day and so on. My parents do it still , very few follow this regimen though these days.

I think very similar eating/fasting habits are pertinent during the lent as well.

When i was younger , during Ramadan we used to go to break the fast post dusk. In my homestate in India , there is usually a gruel that is prepared with sooji (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombay_rava) and lot of fruits. As a veggie , i would go there and eat :) . Sadly it has become a hog show now ,eating as much during dawn and dusk to keep the day full

The blog post writes:

> Suppose you publish an article that happens to contain a sentence identical to one from this article, like "The law sees Colour." That's just four words, all of them common, and it might well occur by random chance. Maybe you were thinking about similar ideas to mine and happened to put the words together in a similar way. If so, fine. But maybe you wrote "your" article by cutting and pasting from "mine" - in that case, the words have the Colour that obligates you to follow quotation procedures and worry about "derivative work" status under copyright law and so on.

There was a real court case in 2012 which I think is interesting because it's very similar to this example. A photographer was accused of "copying" the concept of taking a photo of a red bus in front of a grey Houses of Parliament. He defended himself by saying that that those ideas are very common and should not be copyrightable---but failed:

This is a precious comment and i totally agree with you the things you mentioned. Understanding the business problem is more important compared to what stack or programming language to choose.

It doesn’t matter if you choose python,golang or java as long as it solves the business requirements that’s all what matters and programming languages are tools but its good to choose the right tools for the job
We can't, but at some point in the near future, the consequences of our current course of action will be bad enough to risk it.

Think of geoengineering as chemo for the planet - a very blunt treatment with bad, large-scale consequences, that we apply anyway, because the disease it fights is even worse.

I am curious about this as well
I have every coffee making gimmick from the chemex to the aeropress and I guarantee you would fail a blind test on which one is which, or if the cups of coffee are even different.

I mean, what exactly is the mechanical difference of putting hot water through coffee grounds and a filter that differs when you do it in an aeropress vs. a dripper? And you think you're tasting enough of a difference to say one is horrible and one is amazing? Because the hot water and the ground coffee interacted slightly differently(?) between contraptions?

I do this test for all of my friends and they all fail. Unless it's the moka pot or french press because the lack of filter has you picking soot from your teeth. Those cups always rank last.

Not to derail the thread. But I seriously think you should do a blind test with someone who knows what they're doing. Just for fun.

My theory is that it's 75% placebo of having a coffee gimmick that everyone else is missing out on, and 25% the fact that an aeropress or whatever finally got someone to measure coffee grounds and time it for once instead of dumping a random amount of grounds into a drip filter and then drinking it when it's been sitting on the burner for 3 hours.
I do believe that makes sense and is part of the common "wisdom" of the diet. However more sizeable research studies need to be done in order to add strength to the hypothesis. These are far to small other than as pointers of what might be possible

Customers will be able to sign contracts now, and get preliminary near-1.0 RTL to use in FPGAs for testing and software development. By the time the customers are ready to tape-out in six or twelve months the final spec-compliant RTL would be available.
