Did you read his story? It's good, it's serious and it calls out the democrats about some real bullshit like inventing a fake Russian intelligence operation to not respond to allegations that come from the emails.

I don't care if a journalist has a paranoid delusion as long as they are doing good writing and due diligence, and Glenn's story has both. He's not the most stable individual and he has made mistakes in the past, but he's a journalist he writes and we read and make our minds. I'm not going to doubt him because he's a "freak".

He stopped being a credible journalist because he pushed to publish an article that is not supported by reality.
Average global temperature for the 20th century was 13.9°C. So 0.5C is a relatively small change, and less than half of what's already happened - and produced precious few climate refugees I might point out. I don't like using averages like that, as you rightly point out the difference in a particular region could be quite stark.
What would an appropriate revenue source be? I don't really think generating revenue should be the focus of the government as much as facilitating the growth of private industry through smart regulation, and then taxing them. The government is not a company. It shouldn't generally compete with private industry where it can be avoided. It's a meta organization that should focus on gluing the country together. It represents the people; the people should fund it; and it should support the people in doing so. It is an ancient model, and being a facilitator of private growth is not really all that passive.

Fair point. A few, but perhaps not enough.
Fair point and well said. I would call it a stretch to lock the account of a US newspaper until said newspaper removed a story it "printed". I know anyone can post a link from someplace supporting nearly any position but can we agree the Business Insider is at least not the national enquirer?

Moderation is a long way from outright ban-hammering a US newspaper over their posting of a news story. What Twitter specifically did here more or less makes them an unofficial editor at NYPost. Thats not acceptable.

Ask yourself this simple question - if the roles were reversed and Twitter was run by a Republican and they locked the Washington Post's account because it printed an unfavorable article about Donald Trump - what would you call that action?
> "buying journalism one journalist at a time is too expensive"

Yes and no. It is if you want to get all of your daily news that way. But if it's an area you care about and you're somewhat affluent, it's well worth the money. (I'd think a good chunk of HN e.g. has a subscription to Stratechery)

It's a workable strategy for a few extremely good journalists. But there are a lot of issues with it.

Societally, this is problematic in that it makes decent reporting a luxury good. Long-term, this is a problem because there's no institution where junior journalists can learn the trade. In terms of information, it's a problem because there'll likely be no way to get a wider overview of world news in that way.
I think this is a good comparison, and exactly shows the problem: Vim is only used by a minority of developers, the majority use some kind of graphical editor (like VS Code). That doesn't mean learning Vim isn't a good tradeoff, it's just not a good tradeoff for the majority of people.
I dont think you have any idea how expensive that is. Completely possible, but the cost isn't going go make food more available.
Music streaming solved this problem by remembering they were combating piracy not each other. Each music service has all the music and they all pay royalties.

TV streaming services have come full circle and are repeating the same cable tv mistakes that caused piracy to flourish in the first place.
But they don't belong to users. At best users are leasing the space (for free). There are basic agreements around behavior which are conditional for use, and generally reasonable.

The problem is the grey area, and people's political views and biases strongly affect what they think is or is not following the rules. That makes the rules extremely hard to enforce in a manner that keeps people satisfied.
I've done the same thing. Idiocracy be damned, it seems like we're already pretty close to there. At least I will be able to enjoy my life knowing I'm not going to have to be responsible for a life or lives in an increasingly destabilizing climate.

I don't see why people are giving me so much flak on this, the OP made a bold, unintuitive, and hard to believe claim - and people are saying I should be more gullible? More trusting of authority? Less skeptical?

As it turns out it's moot. The claim was the high end of a range starting at 5M. If your range is that wide you really have no business calling it an estimate. It's a WAG - a wild ass guess. I was right to be skeptical.

They may as well have just said we don't know how bad it's going to be, but it won't be good. And leave it there.
Many members of Congress are heavily invested in tech (though, that's somewhat a consequence of the bifurcation of the S&P 500 into 'big tech' and everything else, with respect to market capitalization). It is somewhat in their interests as owners to have ineffective hearings.

They are fully capable of getting experts involved before hearings to ensure they ask the right questions-- even if the Congressperson isn't all that technical themselves. And they know this. They aren't unintelligent people.

Sorry, to be clear. The definition of terrorism that most people are used to is the one that involves attacking people not anywhere in the government leadership hierarchy. For example, blowing up a commuter bus serves no purpose to take over a regime (unless the president was on that bus). The end goal is purely to cause fear.

Trying to quickly or quietly overthrow a government is pretty much the opposite of that effect. You want a quick change and the end goal is power, not fear for the sake of fear.

Not taxing corporations sounds controversial on the surface but is actually not a terrible idea in practice. Just push the taxes down to the employee and you could theoretically collect more taxes.

They're going to dodge it anyway so all you're doing is creating jobs in other jurisdictions by attempting to tax them.
Actually, that isn't the implied canard, but this is what happens in reality: intellectual economists drive policy which affects us all - more often than not negatively. They don't have all of the information and can't make decisions that are best for individuals.

My implication is that individuals are the best suited to decide how their wealth is used. There should not exist policy makers who interfere in the market. Policymakers, no matter how noble they might be, are never going to know enough about the conditions individual humans face, and can therefore never know how that money is best utilized.

Climate science is heavily, almost entirely subsidized by taxpayer money, and the products which they are selling are more taxation. This is the driving force behind the climate alarmism - give up more of your wealth and freedoms to a benevolent State who will protect you from this scary thing.

If they were selling actual solutions which made people's lives easier, I wouldn't be so sceptical.
I love rails. I want to build products and not muck with tech stacks. Rails and the ecosystem make it easy.
The conventional wisdom is this is why products aren't typically pre-announced, and why Apple says things like "transition will occur over a period of 2 years" and then actually happens in 6 months, like the Intel transition. That the new machines will be significantly faster.

This commentary was all over every Intel->ARM thread, until today, when suddenly every comment seemed to be that people were obviously buying Intel Macs to avoid having to buy ARM. Which doesn't really make sense -- you can always buy an Intel Mac up to and including the day the ARM machines drop. Probably at a steep discount, too. Probably some time after the ARM machines come out. There's no hurry.
> I see it as a one-or-the-other kind of thing. Choose one of the 2 options: Censor absolutely nothing thats not patently unlawful OR censor things to keep yourself out of legal trouble because you ARE liable for the words distributed by your infrastructure.

> Choose one or have a choice made for you I say.

This is silliness.

There's a ton of legitimate reason to have moderation standards, community guidelines, etc, for user generated content beyond "patently unlawful."

To say that any forum that wants anything stricter as a moderation standard must be liable for any malicious actor's behavior is to doom so many online communities.

You're so focused on your extreme "any censorship is bad" "principle" that you've lost sight of the nuance of the real world. A church, for instance: should they be able to have a discussion forum with standards around profanity without becoming liable for anything anyone in the world might post? It's not illegal to swear at everyone...
I don't think this is exactly a story full of heroes - a journalism outfit that burned a source (who is now serving time) vs its crank founder. I don't know how familiar you are with Greenwald's work over the years but the reason the tantrum and 'says anyone who disagrees with him is conspiring against him' charge still sticks is that it represents a long pattern of behaviour on his part. There are, like, twitter parody accounts about this!

If you want to compare this with a similar recent situation with an actual high-profile journalist and real high-profile story - Ronan Farrow and his former employer NBC are still bickering over whether NBC unethically spiked his MeToo reporting. I don't think at any point either side has emitted a Greenwald-style screed-de-coeur, despite the bitterness of the dispute.

At some point, people have to terms with the downsides if they want to organize around non public entities that have the power to censor and banned wholesale when there are other alternatives; their 'reach' today may drop, but if people decided to abandon platforms because they are either locked out/censured/etc for those where they are not, their 'reach' will only grow in time.

But hey, easy for me to say since I've pretty much abandoned twitter/facebook/etc nearly a decade ago and avoid things like snap/insta/etc for things like a mastodon instance.
Unfortunately for investigative journalism the bar is low.

It's like being the trash-man or cleaning the sewers of the information pipes. No one wants to do it. And of the few that do it have most interests and publish lies or predigested material spoon fed to them by their boss.
Copyright isn't the problem, it's greed. Each company is offering a unique product, so they get to charge whatever they want for it. And users that want that media will chase the platforms around, so they're able to extract the maximum out of every subscriber.

Streaming just allowed cable networks to unbundle in the most lucrative way possible... and when users stop subscribing to various services because their prices have gone too high they'll scream "see, it doesn't work, we have to sell packages!"

Meanwhile the users are back to either pirating or suffering shitty overpriced services, of which Netflix is on a quick pace to make themselves one as their catalog narrows from TV producers moving to their own platforms and they continue to cancel their native shows and give ridiculous fortunes to D-list movie directors churning out flop after flop.

This "_you should not have any expectations of privacy in public_" argument dates back when there was no facial recognition.

The idea was people can see you in the street, maybe exceptionally a wierdo would take a photo of you but nobody could find your identity back from that photo. In case of a crime in the street the police could exceptionally access surveillance cameras to investigate. That's it.

This is what "no privacy in public" meant in 2000/2010, and I was totally fine with that. I was totally pro video surveillance at that time .

Now we're in 2020 and facial recognition is happening. Everything changes.

Today, taking the picture of someone = taking biometric data like fingerprint or DNA. This allows you to have a total control over that person. Law were made at a time when a cameras were not such devastating weapons.

Everywhere you go, everything you eat, each item in the store you look at, each person you look at, heartbeat & stress level, which house you're at, who are you talking to, what did you bought, when, with who, what ads did you watch in the street, which part if the ads, with which emotion, we can find your identity, social posts, private data, health data, intimate message, browsing history, emotions, stress level, etc just by pointing a camera at you because of facial recognition. All this is anaylzed, sold and stored forever.

We're getting in a dystopia the worst case-scenario dystopic sci-fi movie couldn't even imagine and people are like "nah we shouldn't expect privacy anyway ya know"...
Let's not be ageist. Congressional leaders can be made aware of and informed on the regulatory and sociological impact of tech...if it was a priority for them.

This way of showing climate change is not robust. I could balance this single example with the fact that temperatures below 0 F were common in the northern United States earlier this week, which is extremely uncommon in October. It would seem that cold polar air moved down over the USA while warmer air was sucked up over Russia, delaying freezing.

When every storm, fire, drought is provided as evidence of global warming it makes reasonable people suspicious. Don’t provide anecdotes. The world is a big place and anomalies are always happening. Show good, comprehensive data and be skeptical of the rest or you haven’t earned trust.

It’s dangerous because you can see in the comments that there are intelligent people that want to do very unnatural things to the air or water to fight global warming, and it feels to me like children playing with fire. They don’t understand the consequences of what they are doing, but are scared into doing reckless things because they believe it’s do it die. Maybe it is, but I’d like to see better science than this before we go that route. Remember the historical environmental catastrophe for our planet is ice, and the natural pattern is to swing in and out of ice ages. If we accidentally kick one of those off, say goodbye to 90% of life on earth.

Who saw the hard drive and forensic evidence for stuff like the Panama Paper or the DNC emails? I'm asking seriously because on Glenn's article he says that the Hunter emails have gone through scrutiny similar to the material from previous hacks or leaks, and he makes a really solid case with examples of how each dump was "verified".

Also does the Biden campaign has seen or have forensic evidence about this being forged? Because for the Typhoon Investigations fake dump they showed it but for this Hunter laptop thing they just said it was a Russian operation and didn't question the material, they just refuse to answer questions about some of the stuff that's there.
