Which, by the way, is almost certain. Greenwald is not known for publishing "garbage pieces". He gave up his career as a lawyer to do what he does. He was censored for the same reason why NYPost, one of the oldest and largest US newspapers, has been censored on Twitter for the past 2 weeks (still is) - the story is real, and it's getting in the way of regime change by the Deep State.
In short, what you are saying is: There is a fundamental difference between an encyclopedia and technical documentation which warrants a different approach to contributions.
Not to mention the use of the term "confirmed" has completely changed in modern times. Now, the press puts out a story that an anonymous source said X, and then another press outlet "confirms" it - and in this sense, the use of the word "confirm" means "we also asked the anonymous source and they told us the same thing." This is a trick: "confirming" a story used to mean that actual journalism was practiced, where the liklihood of the claims were vetted and determined to be likely true, given multiple independent sources or other evidence. It used to take time and effort to "confirm" stories, that was the job of a journalist, now the term is just used to artificially bolster anonymous claims by having a second talking head talk to the same person as a way to "confirm" the other media source wasn't lying that they existed, or something.
Here's an excerpt from their October 2019 letter to shareholders. TL;DR - they're a public company and the markets told them they needed to keep growing in order to survive.

> For restaurant inventory, we will rapidly expand our recent pilots of putting non-partnered restaurants on the platform. For reasons we’ve discussed many times, we believe non-partnered options are the wrong long-term answer for diners, restaurants and shareholders. It is expensive for everyone, a suboptimal diner experience and rife with operational challenges. With that said, it is extremely efficient and cheap to add non-partnered inventory to our platform and it can at least ensure that all of our current and potential new diners have the option to order from any of their favorite restaurants now, even if it’s not the best solution. By leveraging non-partnered options, we believe we can more than double the number of restaurants on our platform by the end of 2020.

> At the same time, because we know that partnered relationships are critical to the long-term success of this business, we will be investing aggressively in our independent restaurant sales organization to support converting as many of these non-partnered restaurants to partnered relationships as quickly as possible and to take advantage of other innovations in the restaurant space, like virtual restaurants.

I am not too proud of a man to say that I read that all the way through, and by the end, still didn't understand one bit: and I'm a lisp person who at least knows a little bit about the history of the language.

Maybe you didn't consider the meaning of your own words:

> A system that is inherently designed to deal with the unknown, and not rely on hardcoded world info is bound to be much better.

This sentence is strongly implying Super Cruise is _not_ inherently designed to deal with the unknown due to the use of hardcoded data"

I counter that claim by pointing out that to function at all? it would have to be able to deal with the unknown, the map isn't going to include the most important dynamic element... other drivers.

Those will always be unknowns, so the system can handle unknowns.

And for the record, at the point that AP was at 4.5 Million miles, GM had already places 2 or 3 generations of Mobileye's EyeQ hardware in cars (the same hardware exploited for AP1).

It never killed anyone by driving them into a firetruck because GM used it as intended.

There's a big focus on X miles per accident with AP vs all other cars, but today a base model Corolla will assist a driver in keeping their lane and alert on a drowsy driver who is being over assisted.

What articles like this are showing what many have suspected all along, APs does have safety benefits, but the additional convenience features tacked on are not implemented safely.

Therefore cars that take a more conservative approach to convenience, by sacrificing some points with people clamoring to try the bleeding edge on public roadways, while maintaining the safety features end up being safer overall.
I dunno... I mean it's actually smart to not make this a single board machine with built-in GPU, since there isn't really a workable open GPU / display controller solution. So making it a PCIe host that can take any off the shelf GPU neatly solves this problem.
People tend to use it either for support or training. For support, it's more actively taking control of the other person's screen and performing the task for them. In the training use case, they tend to point things out and let users navigate the app themselves!

The drug use and pornography is not relevant and more of a distraction. But the indications he may have been paid off by the CCP is troubling, and would mean he's a compromised candidate. We've spent the last four years of dire warnings from the media about Russian information, only to see them ignore the vast influence of CCP money around the globe.
Let's not forget the very real phenomenon in 1999 of many assuming the world ends in 2000 (some shadow of that again in 2012 with the Mayan calendar). It did not happen. In fact, whatever happens, life finds a way...
You didn't read it properly, because he never said protesters. Changing "rioters" to "protesters" completely changes the meaning of what Cotton said. I don't agree with him, but I am vehemently against people twisting others' words to spread lies and misinformation. He said "rioters". Don't lie and say he said "protesters" because then you are implying he is trying to quash free speech with the military.

In this case, you are the one in the wrong. Spreading misinformation purposefully to trick people into agreeing with you is what is destroying this country right now and you are doing this.
That is precisely what I am saying. It's not everywhere, but there are places (like NY) where it is illegal according to building codes to use pvc. Because any old schmo can work with pvc (although, the law is written as if it's a safety hazard)

> people will complain to the restaurant about food being cold/slow not realizing that the restaurant isn't even involved in the delivery

By using their name in commerce, restaurants have a trademark.

People complaining to the restaurant about delivery shows that consumers mistook the Place & Pay vendor for the restaurant. This is proof that the trademark was infringed.

I don't see how Place & Pay could survive a court case, or even prolong one.
I am willing to make a bet that 5 years from now every journalist I read/follow will end up on substack.
Your own source contradicts you:

> The two people said they could not confirm whether any of the material presented to them was the same as that which has been recently published in the U.S.

Furthermore, they made no effort to determine the authenticity of the documents, so I find it odd that you assume they must be fake:

> The two people who said they were approached with Hunter Biden’s alleged emails last year did not know whether any of them were real

So you used two anonymous sources to support your erroneous conclusion, yet you don't believe all of the sources who have publicly come forward to say the documents are legitimate?

Very interesting.
Thank you! Great set of use cases as well :-)
It's not. You can literally have a simple "hello world" app in a handful of lines or code if you want.

I have to wonder if you actually use ASP.NET Core yourself, because ASP.NET Core 3 is, IMO, fantastic. ASP.NET used to be a bit clunky, and lacking in extensibility points, and a lot of people used alternatives like Nancy instead. Nancy officially stopped development around a year back, largely because dotnet devs just don't need it anymore. I was a long-time Nancy fan myself, ASP.NET Core 3 has all the best bits and more.

And you don't need to stick with the typical paradigm on controllers in one folder, views in another etc - feature folders work great. Hell, you don't even really need to use controllers, if Razor Pages are your thing.
This is whataboutism.

I'm someone who believes that Bush should be in jail for crimes against humanity. But nothing you said doesn't take away from the fact that the media is corrupt right now and avoiding a real story on Biden.
No, I don't have to have a job. I can live on welfare, I can go live in the woods, I can farm, go Amish, etc.

We have the concept of worker rights. Those were fought for after the turn of the 20th century when the nature of work itself changed. The human rights issue of our time has to do with individual sovereignty on the internet. I strongly support all regulation that brings these internet monopolies down. Break them up. Force them to federate. Force them to respect privacy and encryption. End the tyranny, period. I don't care if it's coming from a government or a corporation. End it.

If you're calling Twitter a media company, then they should be subject to the same regulations that other media companies are subject to: which include libel and fraud. They're not allowed to commit those things, but social media gets a pass.

Yes, government sets a minimum wage, they force 1.5x pay over 40 hours, there's workman's comp requirements, safety requirements, discrimination protection, etc etc. There's thousands of labor laws, look them up.
Techies, thanks to a bunch of dumb twitter talking heads, seem to think journalists are just rolling in bundles of cash from clicks. They're not. The vast majority of them, even the ones with upwards of 20k twitter followers, barely make any money. Influence is definitely more important to them than cash.
People are in a frenzy and they have social networks/living situations that reinforce their biases.

It's sad but the elites of society (lots of the software community) think the rest are a scourge and incorrigible.
Colin Powell(Sec of State) and the Head of the CIA(Tenet) were on the record as sources for yellow cake stories.

At that time they had credibility.

You are misrepresenting history. It is not similar to this sketchy laptop with no legitimate source verifying it belonged to Hunter Biden.
I'm really surprise at the tearing argument here. I've had Nvidia, AMD, Intel and Matrox graphic cards, sometimes on Intel other on AMD, so I've known tearing ... But that have been fixed for me with the introduction of double buffering and GL compositor. Waaaayyy before Wayland even existed. So that argument does not really fly with. Granted, internally those combo are ugly and clunky. And Wayland might have a cleaner design.

But in the vast majority of cases, X11 implementations have worked for the end user. It certainly did for me. Wayland does not. I've never managed to have it working smoothly for me !

As a user (like in a user story you could say), I don't care that the Wayland protocol does not cover X11 protocol, I want my screengrabber and my video to just work. And if it is "cross-platform/desktop" the better. As a user I do not want a different set of bugs because I use a Gtk screengrabber and a Qt video editor and the Wayland team decided it was not in their scope to handle it. IMHO, sadly, it ends up in nobody's scope and/or in code duplication.
I don't see anything in that article that indicates that "[t]he FBI and DNI have also both confirmed the validity of the laptop".

From the article:

> Appearing Monday on Fox Business Channel, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said “there is no intelligence that supports” the idea that the purported Hunter Biden laptop and the emails on it “are part of a Russian disinformation campaign.”

Absence of intelligence that the laptop is "part of a Russian disinformation campaign" doesn't mean that the contents of the laptop are genuine. That statement still leaves open a bunch of possibilities including that the contents of the laptop were faked by non-Russians, were faked by the Russians but the US doesn't have intelligence confirming it, etc.

As for the FBI, they say "we have nothing to add" to the DNI's statement and that "the FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any ongoing investigation". Nothing in the FBI's letter says anything about the laptop's contents being genuine.
Here's a simple way of looking at it (and we'll build up to the matrix notation).

The nth and (n+1)st fibonacci numbers can be written as a system of two equations in the nth and (n-1)st numbers:

F(n) = F(n)
F(n+1) = F(n) + F(n-1)

where the base cases are F(0) = 0 and F(1) = 1.

The question is then to show that (note that the indices under F are actually wrong in the OP...):

1/89 = .01F(2) + .001F(3) + .0001F(4) + ... + 10^(-n)F(n) + ...

One beautiful (and mathematically simple) way of analyzing this system is by the use of linear algebra. The idea is that, because F(n+1) depends linearly on F(n) and F(n-1) (see the above definition), then we can write the previous system with the following (linear-algebraic) notation

[ F(n) ] = [ 0 1 ] [ F(n-1) ]
[ F(n+1) ] = [ 1 1 ] [ F(n) ].

If we write x(n+1) as the vector (F(n), F(n+1)), i.e., first entry is F(n) and the second entry is F(n+1), and the matrix as A, then x(n+1) = Ax(n). (Note that A is the matrix whose entries are exactly the coefficients of the linear equation we gave above!)

In other words, we've reduced the problem down to the question of investigating the properties of the matrix A ! Now, the sum we were looking at, originally, can be written (in terms of x(n)) as the first entry of (note that x is a vector as we've defined it!)

x(2) + .1x(3) + .01x(4) + ... = x(2) + .1Ax(2) + .01 A Ax(3) + ... = x(2) + (.1A)x(2) + (.1A)^2 x(3) + ...

There's a slick proof (see [0]) that, if this sequence converges, then its result is given by the first entry of

(I - .1A)^(-1)x(2),

which is exactly what the result gives. (I have changed the normalization a little bit for convenience, but it is the same proof :)

-----

[0] If

y + By + B^2y + ... = z converges, then we can multiply both sides by B to get

By + B^2y + ... = Bz

But, here's the magic! Let's subtract the first equation from the second to get

y = z - Bz = (I - B)z,

so, multiplying by the inverse of B on both sides, we get:

y + By + B^2y + ... = z = (I - B)^(-1)y,

as required!

> Most of them are, in fact, utterly pointless; SELECT statements that return no values, SELECT statements that return all values (equally pointless)

There are numerous examples of such queries which are far from pointless, such as "SELECT number FROM reals WHERE number = sqrt(-1)" for the former, and "SELECT number FROM reals WHERE number = number * 1".

I would call those results interesting, insofar as they're absolutely required to do any interesting number theory.

Not to detract from your interesting post! I enjoy the conceit, and could see myself using it in conversation.
Funny enough, I actually am a software engineer for avionics.

Those are not reasonable comparisons. Climate change predictions amount to milestones on our slow journey to oblivion. Ideally we want to be spot-on with all our predictions, but being on the "too conservative" side doesn't immediately put human lives at risk.
>The US government has officially said there's no Russian involvement in the recent Biden leak

DNI John Ratcliffe, who is a Republican partisan, said that on Fox News. He was also just caught lying to the FBI director in making a partisan assessment (with zero to back it up) in a statement about election interference by Iran last week. He's not exactly a credible and dispassionate actor in all of this.
Chomsky & Herman's _Manufacturing Consent_ (1988, analyzing news from a decade earlier),

While it may be good work, it's so out of date it's useless as a tool for evaluating the media landscape of today.

I spent 20 years as a journalist and can tell you from first-hand experience and the contacts I have kept in the industry that the media today is not the same as the media of 2010, or 2000, or 1990, and certainly not the 1970's.
A better phrasing of the parent post is that very few people use the term fascism based on its actual definition; it's a highly-parroted word whose colloquial meaning has been entirely diluted, yet still carries gargantuan negative weight.
I could not be happier that wearing a mask is more or less societally acceptable now.

Concrete TV Never Hard Enough
Observing similar cases throughout history, the lack of immediate denial and dismissal is a very strong signal that there is some truth to it.

Take for instance the Podesta emails as a recent example. No one denied that they were real, just denounced the means by which they were made public.
I followed him on Twitter due to my respect of his earlier journalism work, and I agree completely. I'm not sure he's changed though, and I think that's kind of the problem--all of his tweets stem from holding a grudge the old neoliberal guard of the 2000s onward, while getting some kind of high off of the chaos that the Trump administration introduced into the political establishment (not just to Democrats).
I'm going to trust Glenn Greenwald's knowledge of journalistic ethics over yours.
From what I have observed anything even tangentially related the Biden stories gets to the front page quickly and sometimes it sticks there for a few minutes then gets flagged enough to start dropping down the ranks. This one lasted a lot longer on the front page than most have.
Why is it "either, or"? Tackle both problems. For climate change, space tech is invaluable - we already have the ability to build a solar shade in orbit, it's just extremely expensive. With better space technologies, the cost will go down massively.

The bigger problem is that there's no political will. It will have to be an effort by all countries.
Sure, there isn't an expectation of privacy. But that implies that the property is Hunter Biden's in the first place and that there's an intact chain of custody of evidence if there are misdeeds, which there isn't.

Again, this looks exactly like every other KGB/FSB misinformation operation.
The fact that he's not addressing this properly is the scandalous part. Don't we deserve answers. Even if he's elected, this is not going away and will only hobble his administration. He needs to clear it up and get it out of the way. There's a troubling trend among democrat nominees to suppress. Like him or hate him, you have to admit Trump holds press conferences and answers questions.
> Greenwald is not known for publishing "garbage pieces".

Reputation trails actions. Overall Greenwald seems like a remarkably average journalist with strong rhetorical chops who lucked into a couple good stories. But he's spent the past few years squandering that social capital on a mix of conspiracy and irrelevance, and this may be his bankruptcy.

> He gave up his career as a lawyer to do what he does.

This means absolutely nothing. If anything lawyers aren't especially known as paragons of truth! (And that's fine for a lawyer where the adversarial system holds, but can make you a bit shit as a journalist.)
The politics of terraforming a barren plant to make more suitable for colonization is going to be different from that of our home world.
A lot of research I've read has considered spiders to be mindless automatons, which would make the widely varied conditional logic extremely hard to understand how it could be selected for by natural selection, as opposed to some level of more robust thought simply being present in the species.
Sure, pedantically.
There's certainly a lack of caring there too. But they do have some financial incentives to put thought about the people in. It can hurt a personal brand when dealing with backlash against investment properties (and that can go on to affect associated corporate brands). It can also affect the investors if they mess up the economy of an area that had been contributing to their revenue.

I'm not trying to boil this down to "foreigners bad. locals good." But there are various factors that play in to how much one cares about their impact on others, with physical and political distance being two of them.
There are hundreds of asteroids that have more wealth than the entire US federal debt.

Consider all the precious metals ever mined on the planet. Now consider this is litterally scratching the surface of the total contained within the planet. Note, these dense metals will be concentrated toward the planets core, due to gravity.

The asteroid belt easily holds our planet's mass, but it is all spread thinly and relatively easy to access.
> Grubhub decides to add unaffiliated restaurants to its website and mobile apps without the restaurants’ permission

My counterpoint is that I don't believe that there is anything wrong with that or that permission is needed. Of course as long as there is no misrepresentation, which may indeed be an issue here.

If you think otherwise I'm happy to hear your argument...
You're right, the Mueller report is what makes it true: https://theintercept.com/2019/04/18/robert-mueller-did-not-m...

> Mueller, in addition to concluding that evidence was insufficient to charge any American with crimes relating to Russian election interference, also stated emphatically in numerous instances that there was no evidence – not merely that there was insufficient evidence to obtain a criminal conviction – that key prongs of this three-year-old conspiracy theory actually happened. As Mueller himself put it: “in some instances, the report points out the absence of evidence or conflicts in the evidence about a particular fact or event.”
