I’ve said it here before and I’ll say it again:

Audio and video evidence isn't admissible because it's audio or video (and may be inadmissible nonetheless). It's admissible because someone testifies under oath that they have personal knowledge of its provenance. The burden is on the party introducing the evidence to show that it's reliable, and the question of whether or not it is indeed reliable is a factual one for a judge or jury to answer. It's not assumed to be "true" or to accurately reflect reality just because it's a purported photo, video, or audio recording.

They're actually a bookstore themselves. The indie bookstores are really just affiliates, and they get a profit from referrals (and the whole network shares the profit from direct sales).

I just looked up one local bookshop, and their Search link took me directly to the Bookshop site. If I'd bought anything they'd get 30% of the cover price, but Bookshop would fulfill it and retain the rest of the profit.

Prices are usually comparable to Amazon, though Amazon's shipping is usually cheaper and faster. Still, I'm not crazy about the way Amazon achieves that, so I avoid them when I can.

And for the event in the past, respectively, you need datetime and the then-effective offset, not timezone, if you want to know the "what was the local time on the actual physical wall clock?". Unless you're sure the tzdata were correct when the timestamp was taken, and your current tzdata have correct historical info, you can't just take UTC timestamp+timezone and convert it to local time. And I've seen enough machines that had deliberately wrong timezones for some time.

Actually, all three of those points are things that people (me included) regularly do wrong/don't do when engaging with conspiracy theorists.

1. Brush claims off as unimportant / ignore their messages in group chats instead of giving contra, leading them to misinterpret silence as tacit agreement.

2. If engaging, doing it very shallowly with platitudes like "check your sources" but never going over concrete examples with them.

3. Being a jerk about it.

Edit: not advocating/demanding you do all three every time you spot someone BSing on the webs. We all only get 24h a day. But if it's someone close to you and you're really concerned, all these three are good things to keep in mind and easy to do wrong, especially when things get heated.

Project Rōnin is filling one of the greatest gaps in patient care to date. Our mission is to increase the length and quality of every persons’ life who has been affected by cancer.

This year alone there will be nearly 1.8 million new cancer diagnoses, and the tools oncologists are using haven’t been updated in 20 years. With our platform, communication between patients and their doctors is optimized through an individual care platform that is already having an immediate impact. We are offering fully remote roles and are actively hiring!
Yup, and if you look at Jeff Geerling's teardown photos, there were acres of extra PCB space and they easily could've switched back to regular HDMI for this unit.

It's a senseless design defect in what otherwise looks to be a splendid little unit.

If I end up with one of these, the first thing I'm gonna do is cut a little base-plate to glue it to, which extends behind the unit and has places to secure the HDMI cables (and maybe some other goodies as long as I'm at it), to prevent exactly the torque we all know happens.

Indeed. We went from a world where nothing was recorded outside of very fallible memory, to one where everything is recorded, to perhaps one where even though everything is recorded, there’s enough deniability via deep fakes that it doesn’t matter as much that things were recorded.
Possibly but it’s interesting that so many Obama voters went for Trump. It could have been the perfect storm though as Clinton is a very polarizing figure.

A lot of people pointing out the complementary services in this thread. Another place that I hope Kubernetes creates a consistent operational environment, with wide service offerings, such that we aren't so strongly reliant on Big Cloud forever.
But it's something that most of these disproportionately basement-dwelling isolatees don't get, though. I mean, no, it's not a surprise to say that people who gravitate to very online centers of disinformation tend to be socially isolated. But even so, treating the isolation is a feasible thing.

Stated more scientifically: the hypothesis here is that isolation causes conspiracy mania. So treat the isolation. Most people don't do this, we just yell at or about these folks online.

Seems like it's worth a shot to me.

I once created a location-based file sharing web app [0] to simplify sharing non-sensitive content with people nearby, e.g. sharing slides for a public presentation with a room full of people. Anyone nearby just had to go to http://quack.space -- no funny long URLs.

I never monetized it, but it got quite a few users and I definitely could have started a path to monetization. I had ideas, such as incorporating location-based ads.

Unfortunately Chrome decided at one point it was malware for some reason. I have no idea why. On the backend I had a 1-hour time limit on files and didn't store either files or location data beyond that. Chrome would throw up a malware warning whenever someone visited the page, and that was pretty much the end of the project.

It's frustrating that they play gatekeepers to the internet, and they don't even have a fair arbitration process. They should have at least made efforts to contact the owner of the website. This should be downright illegal.

People push and pull from one place by convention but it was designed to pull from anywhere. The problem is PRs, issues, code review etc has become centralized. As far as the code goes they just need to host all code at their own domain and use GitHub and other services as a mirror.
Right, but some of that information is necessary for me to receive. Thus it is not my choice whether to use Twitter.
Heroku is both incredibly cheap and incredibly expensive.

It's only $7/month to deploy a web application. More if you want some of the paid features and a database instance. It all works out of the box with instant deployment out of the box, it's fantastic.

Then it suddenly goes $50 more per gigabyte of RAM, which makes it massively expensive for any serious workload. It's crazy hot much they can try to charge, makes AWS looks like a bunch of clowns in comparison.
Going to catholic high school did a good job of teaching this.

However, it was an atypical catholic school. It that taught the dark ages honestly: “We let the Catholic Church run Europe for a few hundred years... It turns out that’s a terrible idea”. They also had a few months of “how to avoid cults” in religion class, and a separate, well-done world religions semester.

They had a Spanish language “if you want justice fight for peace” poster up (the officially sanctioned Catholic US translation is “work for peace”) and covered multiple instances of the Catholic church working to overthrow corrupt dictatorships, and also covered the abuses of global captialism in a semester on social justice.

That was all mandatory.

I also remember a talk a holocaust survivor gave proudly proclaiming that the Catholics in Germany overwhelmingly voted against the Nazis.

Don’t get me wrong; even that school was offensively conservative in many ways, just as the rest of the church is.

I think the obvious cognitive dissonance mostly just helped most students develop their BS detectors.

The only thing worse than hanging your identity on @gmail.com is @comcast and the like.

I'm starting to wonder if the random Google account lockouts are caused by account hacks, where the account proceeds to be used by spammers and other nefarious people. Has anyone here that has been randomly locked out of their Google account like this been using 2FA?

It still sucks that Google has no real appeal process for this.
They really need to close borders to everyone except British passport holders. That will be extremely unpopular, and given the multi-national make up of the UK population, citizens travelling to places like Ireland, India, Pakistan, European continent, etc to visit relatives, even that may not help.

The general population also needs to give more of a fuck. Blaming the government is a total cop-out. They cannot morally, or possibly even legally, physically stop people from mingling. Young people travelling to Ibiza and the like for their holidays didn't help. Some people have zero sense of civic duty.

Personally, I haven't seen my family in person for almost a year. I'm probably going to spend Christmas on my own. It'll be depressing but it has to be done. I can handle it. There are people out there who cannot.

> youtube-dl is a tool mostly used by techies anyways

This is just speculation, but I think that there may have been a tipping point reached where it is no longer being just used by CLI "techies". It has been incorporated into other tools which appeal to a much wider userbase - many of whom will never know they are using it behind the scenes.

For example, there is: a user-friendly front-end for it in Kodi [1], an easy to use web interface [2], a polished desktop app [3], etc.

I suspect it's not so much the original CLI which they care about, but the lowering of the barrier to entry for "everyone else".

> It’s going to get to the point where you can’t even say in a court room “well we have video of him doing this”. The fact that deepfakes will exist will erode confidence in even those things that are true. At the same time it will add additional fake situations to the conversation.

You cannot underestimate the global political ramifications of this. If you think the amount of video manipulation was bad enough this cycle in the 2020 presidential election? Imagine a few years from now when video's are being put out by political operatives and people with nefarious agenda's with impunity all over social media.

This sort of thing absolutely terrifies me since you can start to twist reality to whatever you want and influence people in ways we never thought possible. I really feel like the genie is out of the bottle and this has the potential to become a very dangerous tool for people with bad intentions.
I feel like they'll just close the loophole that allows nsfwyoutube to work, then we'll actually have to confront the situation instead of having a work around.
The main use case where I've wanted something like that is that you want to pair an interactive chart with a data table. For example you create a crossfilter and want the table to list the observations that pass the filter.

I actually contributed an example to the Altair documentation that links a table to a scatter plot.

I agree though that the tables are hard to make and not very nice looking. I think it's just not really an intended use of Vega.

Many of the behaviors associated with followers of conspiracy theories sound like behaviors associated with addiction disorders and abuse victims much like people susceptible to joining a cult. Some of those behaviors include socially isolated belief systems, security reenforcement, gullibility, loss of identity, loss of independent reasoning, and so forth.

I wonder how vulnerable Google's practices are to corruption. Say you've got your new business on the up swing and one of your competitors has a friend at Google who they offer a bribe to shut down your entire business, at least for a few weeks under dubious or non existent reasons.

Seems like an extremely easy way to make copious amounts of shady cash if you've got that magic ban button at Google.

Not an expert in the matter, but from what I have seen here on HN news the visibility is usually due to three things:

1) timing, if you post it at certain times of the day on certain days it might be more visible[1]

2) exact title of the submission (the HN algorithm is somehow influenced by the title)

3) sheer luck

[1] there are - search for them - related threads, I seem to remember working days tuesday-thursday are better and time should be something around mid-day in the US (but I may well remember incorrectly)

I will add (hopefully constructive) my personal comments on the thingy and its site.

The site is very well done (simple, relatively responsive) but it is exactly the same as any other site attempting to sell "vague" IOT devices to consumers, lots of pictures of people (all beautiful, young and IMHO senselessly happy) and (as well "vague") promises to save money, be more in control, whatever.

The copywrite is so "standard" that makes me want to cry, with this notable exception:

>Your car is now connected to your phone all the time! Can your friends say the same?

Seriously?

The thingy is - from what I can understand - an ODB or ODB2 key with (possibly) a GPS and cellular/SIM connection, and accompanying app+portal.

We don't know anything about the firm, who produces it, where it is produced, how exactly the (seemingly) worldwide coverage is achieved, heck we don't even know if you are US or EU (UK) based (or somewhere else), from the privacy policy you seem like US based:

https://www.cargenta.com/privacy-policy/

but who knows?

Little pet-peeve of mine: in my car the ODB connector is under the ashtray, so that thingy cannot be installed, more generally you will need a (flat) cable extension to allow mounting on a number of cars.
> This feels like the start of something very bad - they are going to be upfront about the deepfakes... others are not.

Well, something really bad is definitely ahead with fake videos (as if real videos, with significantly meaning-changing omissions made with the plain old cutting process weren't bad enough) and people with high visibility creating awareness by doing it in the open is the closest thing to a defense that we have. It's a hopelessly weak defense but better than nothing.
Yep. Our cabin, that we had just finished building, burned down in the Cameron Peak fire. Our neighbors lost their primary house. We were prepared to weather a ground fire, but this one was leaping crown-to-crown. We will rebuild with non-flammable materials.
This is what I think needs a bit more discussion & airtime. You're never going to eliminate cars entirely, don't try. But I think there's a good case that one car may be enough for many families when combined with ebikes, transit, & the rest.
>Are they quoting a fringe YouTube video (which may have been fact-checked and debunked)

We have got to get away from this idea that you can "debunk" something with some authoritative source of truth. That is just not how reality works, and the idea that you can "fact check" and "debunk" your way to a healthy, functioning system of rhetoric is absurd.

NO argument has EVER been won by somebody pointing to a third party "fact checker", and honestly the idea that there is some infallible arbiter sounds like it is lifted directly from an Orwell novel.

These days, even a low-end Android phone, taken back forty years, would be a supercomputer beyond anything that existed then.

Unfortunately, layer after layer of framework on abstraction on framework on abstraction sometimes means that we need a supercomputer to render a user interface, and still end up with perceptible lag. :)

Regarding elsewhere where I mentioned running BOINC on a Pi 4B, I'd also note that (at least from a RAC standpoint) it's almost up there with a ThinkPad X201 Tablet with an i7-640LM throttled to 1.2 GHz. If I switch the BIOS from "balanced" to "performance" mode, the ThinkPad will run a bit faster but within an inch of thermal shutdown. I might be able to overclock the Pi enough to achieve parity with the throttled i7.

Eight years ago, I'd never had guessed that we'd see the Pi turn the corner to become a usable general-purpose desktop.
Oh wow, I hadn't even thought of m.2 but you're spot-on. There's a ton of space in there, and we know the SoC has PCIe lanes.

Welp, who's gonna solder one up first?

I wonder what signals are on the J5 connector...
It’s not bad, it’s inevitable and it’s nice we have some light shed on it. Stupid people will no doubt try to “ban deepfakes”, but we are going to have to learn to live with them.
The other answers nailed it -- different types of muscles -- but even so, if you do cardio every day for 8 hours a day, your body may still break down. If you do it for 16 hours a day, your body WILL break down.

Hard labor is continuous cardio. Hard labor isn't healthy. Athletes have specific training regiments with up times and recovery times.

If I go on a 60 mile bike ride, I need at least a few days downtime to recover. If I'm biking 20-30 miles, I'll do that at most every other day. And if I lift weights, I'll alternate upper body and lower body days. And if I'm doing basic calisthenics and stretching, I can do that every day.

(Not that I do any of those anymore, at my age)

> because if even the actual virus itself doesn't teach your immune system to look out for it, then there's no way a vaccine could

I wouldn't say that completely follows. It would certainly indicate that developing a vaccine would be harder, but not impossible.

Modern vaccine development is essentially fly fishing at this point: the amount of control and options we have with the immune response-generating stimuli exceeds naturally-ocurring scenarios.

As an example, most of the spike-protein-expressing vaccines generate / deliver modified spike proteins, distinct from those found on actual SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

But from the perspective of the government, the asset has already outlived its usefulness. Every further use (regardless of scrapping) of the car is perceived as pure loss. This may be different from the owner who may be unable to buy a new car, or who sees an individual gain.
