There are a couple or so that I didn't see listed (although I could have easily missed them, as that FAQ is very extensive).

1. Citing completely non-existent cases, sometimes from completely non-existent courts.

2. Citing quotes from real cases, but the quotes were not from the court. I remember looking at one where they cited a real Supreme Court case, and the quote was very favorable to the tax protester's claim. Unfortunately, it was not from the opinion of the court. It was from one of the briefs filed by the losing side which the court completely rejected.

3. Citing cases that were subsequently overturned on appeal.

4. Arguing that Soandso (usually someone selling a book or offering a seminar on getting out of taxes) has not gone to jail or even been sued by the IRS and so his methods must work.

The flaw in that is that you have no proof that he is actually using the methods from his books and seminars. It is quite possible he's not in trouble because he actually pays his taxes.
I'm guessing this is just a dump of the GitHub Enterprise source? Apparently it's never been all that hard to decrypt - e.g. https://gist.github.com/iscgar/e8ea7560c9582e4615fcc439177e2...
Black markets just operate on top of white markets, often using the same exact state-backed money. Hunter-gather groups and other social structures known to exist before states generally operated on gift economies. There's not really any anthropological evidence that markets existed prior to the formation of states. Read the first few chapters of Debt: The First 5000 Years by David Graeber (RIP).
No idea, didn't see the original thread. I'm just trying to get more wind behind this, so more people protest against it. It's not really fair on these guys.
Just saw that bug today on Debian Stable using FF 78.4 ESR. Was going to comment on that ticket, but they deleted my bugzilla.mozilla.org account.
>They don't want to offend too many people so it's easier to stick their head in the sand and then "come around" when it's suddenly popular.

Another example to point to from recent US political history: the federal legalization of same-sex marriage, and subsequent rapid rehabilitation of the public platforms held by its former opponents still regularly running for re-election.
I don’t really consider non violent non cooperation as a sad form of protest over the iron grip corporations have over the proletariat. It is about all we can do. We can’t even democratically address the issue, we tried and the supreme court said nope.
It never sat well with me how GitHub itself was not open-source. Is it a fundamental mistrust of the very technology that made the platform possible?
but if it encode it in your webpage with your ffmpeg tool then unless someone interfere with it maliciously in some way it should not be different to encoding it on the server

If I were a betting man, I'd say this would result in an immediate fork that removes that.
Horrible unintuitive error messages when your document fails to compile.

Are there any religious or whole congregations that use mushrooms during service?

Not the ones the become "spiritual" and feel a connection to a "universe energy" but people that tie it into their individual sentience beings from another plane like angels or their God from a known organized and Abrahamic religion.

Stands to reason that this could strengthen the connection especially with the susceptibility enhanced from a guide or religious leader.

With some decriminalization this could be more publicly experimented with. Not quite retail legalization but probably tolerated enough in some counties that the religious law abiding citizens would feel comfortable doing it.
> leaving a scattered few credit unions and smaller banks around, which will be extra inconvenient when you travel and they absolutely will not offer the same range of credit cards with good rewards programs.

A lot of credit unions are members of the CO-OP program, which gives you access to more ATMs than any of the big banks (possibly more than all of the combined). At least for travel within the US, being part of that CO-OP credit union is much more convenient than BoA and their ilk.

I just checked: 50 BoA ATMs within 20 miles of me. Over 100 within the CO-OP network. This is in a decent sized metro area.

I just checked my small undergrad town: 3 in the city, and 2 in the adjacent city. BoA has only 1 - and only in the adjacent city.

In my experience, it's always been able to find a Co-Op ATM than a BoA one.

Others complained about poor services, web sites, etc. I suppose that can be true, but it isn't for mine. In fact, I had to ditch one of the national banks because it couldn't provide simple features that my local credit union does - stuff like limiting which of my checking accounts is tied to my ATM card - without limiting it in their online site. So if I tied my ATM card to only one account, then when I logged in to the account's site, it would not let me transfer money between the accounts that are not on the ATM (although it would let me view transactions, etc).

I've also used my debit card in other countries. It worked just like any other card would (I did have to inform them in advance so it wouldn't trip up fraud detection).

> and they absolutely will not offer the same range of credit cards with good rewards programs.

You do not need to have a bank account with Chase and other companies to get good credit cards with rewards programs.
It’s just a philosophy which tries to answer some of humanity questions. The idea of God is the pillar to the religion. God puts fullstop on the questions which the religion can’t answer. We call it, Only God knows.
We need better definition.
Well, it definitely carries a hint of irony. They seem to be going against everything they stand for.
My body, my choice. Don't stop anyone from making choices for themselves, as long as it doesn't negatively affect others. If I get high and go on a rampage, there are laws to deal with the results. If I get high and don't bother anyone, leave me alone.
Really, where are you getting that info? There are several analysis videos showing that the gearing in the car is designed to reach over 330mph.
I was thinking closer to common behaviors that are known to be unhealthy... drinking pop, not exercising, whatever. If someone is trying to kill themselves I think its different and they should get help. But we cant be hyperbolic about what that means and try to force everyone into a norm that values long term health above all else, because of how it encroaches on freedom.

A more realistic example of what you're saying could be like when people get those big holes in their ears. It's clearly destructive to the body, I personally think its gross, but there is no good reason to limit people's right to do that. The limitations on freedom that preventing that behavior would entail is far worse than letting it happen.
It's unlikely this is a "leak" per se - the source code can be straightforwardly recovered from the trial version of Github Enterprise, see e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13875993 or (more comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13346866

EDIT: Anyone looking to try doing this, please support open alternatives instead: https://gitea.io/en-us/
I'd still say it was a bug in GitHub, to be frank. This definitely shouldn't be allowed.
If you open a PR to a GitHub repo, all of its commit hashes become available to the parent repo. This is what most likely happened here (can't confirm due to the fact that it's already deleted), and did happen when the youtube-dl source became available from the dmca repo.
I linked it in the article :D
The content does not back the editorialized HN post title "Google Breaks Gmail on Firefox". At least not yet, could be Google, could be a change FF made, could be both. Either way the bug report is "Google Temporarily Error displays since version 69.0.1" and has an unknown cause at the moment.

I'd be careful with that - waiting lists may have a nocebo effect, exaggerating the benefits of the treatment under test.

Insofar as it's possible to generalise, I believe you're completely right, and what you say is very important. But IMO it's not possible to generalise completely, both because people's psychology varies so much and also because what people mean by "depression" varies so much (and yes, in "people" there I include psychologists and psychiatrists, whose approaches to diagnosis vary enormously in my experience).
I thought your goal was to have AB5 without the exemptions. How does killing AB5 by increasing the exemptions get you closer to that goal?
Cool! Looks nice! Check out https://kontxt.io. It can convert PDFs to HTML. It also adds an inline collaboration layer to the document with inline highlights, comments, @mentions, polls, tags, and smart navigation. I've tried it on academic papers from arXiv. Awesome for sharing and collaborating with others.

Would you expect someone who spent 15 years doing $12/hour factory work and video games, then switching to programming to make $50/hour, to be amazed at how much better it is to have real status in society? For me, video games will always be better. Expensive cars and big houses have nothing to offer me, or I would have tried to be competitive from the start. I have easier access to women, but don't know what to do with it. But in general, society treats most people with respect and really doesn't have that much it can give you as a reward. Almost nothing compared to a video game. It's real life that's filled with tradeoffs, poorly gamified, and empty.
I see; they apparently changed it again. Thanks for the correction.

I'd still call it a leak, since GitHub is closed-source. Then again, this raises an important point: with the source code so easily acquired, why isn't it open-source?
I jump on any Alzheimer's Disease news. I don't understand it, naively, but I try to follow it as closely as I can.

It's a fear I carry for no particular reason, but one I hope to see eradicated (or better managed) in my future where it could be a possibility.

This particular article looks exciting, and something I can almost make sense of.
A quick google search shows that yes, they build the high perf engines in-house, starting from a bare block. It’s not a customized Chevy engine.
Did this commit actually appear in that repo history timeline?

Github does the thing where a cloned repo shares the object space with all repos of the origin, so you can use the same commit sha1 on any of the repos. All someone would have to do is clone the repo, make the commit to their clone, then share the link with the sha1 in the origin repo.

The sha1 blob may not actually appear in the main repo timeline.
Lightning Labs | Lightning Infrastructure Engineer, Business Operations, Designer | San Francisco | Onsite or Remote | Full-time

https://lightning.engineering/

Lightning Labs is hiring! We’re looking to expand our team to build technology that scales Bitcoin and blockchains. Our current focus is the development and deployment of the Lightning Network, an open blockchain scalability protocol. We push the edge of innovation with regard to blockchain scalability, privacy-preserving smart contracts, and cryptocurrency UX. If you’re interested in one of the positions below, please apply using our careers page: https://lightning.engineering/join-us. And if you know someone who might be a good fit, we'd very much appreciate any referrals.

{Lightning Infrastructure Engineer}:

We're looking for a systems-oriented engineer who will design and build out key components to support the growth of the Lightning Network. These tools will lower the barrier to entry for operating Lightning nodes and enable existing node operators to more effectively manage their infrastructure. You'll work on products such as Lightning Loop (https://lightning.engineering/pool/), as well as other Bitcoin-based backend systems to make Lightning more useable, and secure.

{Business Operations}:

This role will work directly with the VP of Business Operations in supporting the people management and business operations activities that help our team and company scale. This role will support the Business Development team with lead management and outreach efforts as needed. The ideal candidate has strong generalist skills, interest in bitcoin and Lightning, and a passion for helping businesses grow.

{Designer}:

Lightning Labs is looking for an ambitious designer with a passion for the bitcoin space. This role will be focused on developing the UX and visual design for Lightning Terminal and a series of upcoming products that will drive further Lightning Network adoption. The ideal candidate will be excited about the opportunity to build user experience strategies for new Lightning technologies. We're working with a highly engaged Lightning Network community and ecosystem, and are looking for someone who wants to be a part of building its future. This is a part time role, with the possibility of deeper engagement in the future.
I fully expect a major religious revival as psychedelics become more widely used.

It's happened before, and some have even argued that the major religions have their roots in psychedelic use.

Having powerful mystical experiences has been shown to be pretty common on psychedelics, new psychedelic religions are springing up all the time, and it's likely that this trend will only accelerate with increased psychedelic use.

It'll be interesting to see how the major religions react to this. In recent centuries they've been pretty put off by the idea that psychedelics (or any other authority than their own) could give people true religious revelation or authentic religious experience, but it is possible that they might change their minds if they see the psychedelics actually re-enliven people's sense of the sacred and start bringing them back to the fold.

Is it beyond imagining that one day we'll see religious ceremonies involving psychedelics in mainstream churches, synagogues, and mosques?
Didn't even realize I use index finger for c until you mentioned it. Turns out I should be using my E/middle finger. Hm.
Is there a way to download it? I can't seem to click into the repo files
Why does it need to be Abrahamic? The Native American Church --which syncretizes traditional Native American beliefs with Christianity-- takes peyote buttons as part of their ritual practices.
When you keep the best intentions, you move closer to God, or vica versa. There is no disconnect, we just choose differently for many reasons. It has to be us as it's all for us. There's no need for belief systems or ideologies, though they are vehicles to somewhere.

Through action and inaction (karma) we get to know ourselves and our relationships.

> using the state to clearly define boundaries and avoid interference on the state from the church

There's also a clearly defined boundary where the church is immune from government influence.

So, if the government isn't allowed to regulate what churches preach, what's the equivalent for corporations? Not being allowed to regulate what they sell?

Click "Code". I'm not suggesting you download it, that would be naughty.
A tax could help. I think that approach showed some effectiveness in reducing Mexicans' consumption of soft drinks. I think good nutrition and nutrition education in schools would be a more durable and effective approach, though. A lot of families just don't have the knowledge and habits to prepare and consume healthy meals. The sugary foods are popular because they are cheap, tasty, and effortless; making food that's healthy but still tastes good requires more work.
My post is somewhat tongue in cheek -- not in the sense that I'm not a Christian (a young earth creationist, in fact), but in the sense that I don't expect someone to become a Christian because of this discovery. (Nor for that matter, would my faith be falsifiable; that is, I wouldn't cease to be a creationist if later research showed that there was in fact no such hardwired capability.) But I do think it's a good thing for unbelievers to ponder. Even more so: Why is there anything at all?

Thank you for your kind response.
Github is complying with a mandatory legal process. It isn't like they are at fault here. As much as I hate what has happened, folks are attacking the wrong company.

Come out against the RIAA if you must do something. Better still to let the process work, you don't win legal battles by committing crimes.
It's not true for me, and I do not believe it is for a significant number of men either. My post was tongue-in-cheek
Currently, requiring signed commits (the only way to prevent this) would be a massive breaking change, as I would guess that 90%+ of GitHub users don't use GPG to sign their commits. However, they may be able to make that opt in, although it could very well break a ton of automated scripts and would completely break things like squash merging or rebasing by a maintainer.
It’s fundamental to the way Git works. Signed commits are a thing when you need verified authorship.
Treatment resistant depressive here.

After three decades of trying different therapeutic treatment avenues, including many pharma and non-pharma options, I think that refractory (treatment resistant) depression is a phenomenon rooted in biochemistry. At least for me, disconnect from other people/society doesn’t play a role (plenty of connections, happily married, etc.).

In my case, pharma pretty much works, non-pharma hasn’t. This doesn’t exclude non-pharma therapies’ being effective - for example, they may modulate underlying biochem to good effect in some- but only that such treatments haven’t worked for me.

I’m following the pscilocybin work closely. So far, it’s encouraging. I plan to experiment in 2021.
Try this quote from Steven Pinker:

> Zoologists have found that the males of many species will court an enormous range of objects having a vague resemblance to the female: other males, females of the wrong species, females of the right species that have been stuffed and nailed to a board, parts of stuffed females such as a head suspended in midair, even parts of stuffed females with important features missing like the eyes and the mouth. --Steven Pinker, How the Mind Works
With decriminalization the smell is everywhere around parks too which bothers me the most when I’m trying to enjoy fresh air. I wish they’d go ahead and switch to vapes or something that smells less. Even tobacco was better or carries less.
My theory would start with shape distinctiveness. While some of the Microsoft iconography uses a vertical rectangle for phone (in the context of adding apps), the blob-ended wide U of the old fashioned telephone handset is still the predominate icon for a telephone. The follow on technologies were much simpler in form and thus make for shapes that are indistinguishable from any other box. An icon needs a high level of distinctiveness to be successful.

Likewise, the follow on technologies to small portable storage did not have distinctive and ubiquitous shapes. Maybe a long rectangle with a short end against a square would represent a flash drive? I think that a sibling comment about the 3.5” diskette being present at the birth of GUIs must be part of the answer too since the world didn’t immediately transition to flash drives and other media. All lived together for quite a while.

Looking at “floppy icon” search results leads me to believe that many icon designers have never seen an actual 3.5” diskette. On many the shutter is too wide and could not slide open, on others the rotor mating surface is classic iPod low.
Open source is another ball game license wise.

I asked people who opposed marijuana on religious grounds of never intoxicating the mind. And they were young and inclined towards social justice. And they told me.

I asked a hospital doctor who said the same after witnessing Newark communities and voted to legalize.
Because their primary target is enterprise consumers, who care about legality. It doesn't matter how easy it is to get illegal source code, their customers can't risk it.
- If the locks can be so easily broken, why are there locks?

- If it is so easy to shoplift, why don't stores just give out everything for free?
>why isn't it open-source?

Most likely support. GH probably doesn’t want to support an open source version (triaging issues, reviewing 3rd party pull requests, having an open roadmap). Likewise it would probably be bad PR if they just dumped the code base and were really slow (or didn’t) respond to bug reports.

Being open source requires a lot more than just the source code being available.
I was thinking more along the lines of simply checking the email of the (real) commit author against the "email" used in the Git commit. Would this not be possible?
Ditto on Chrome with an all-red screen and "Deceptive site ahead".
True. Reddit did that, and it definitely backfired.
I just was commenting on directing anger at the perpetrators, that to a young mind it can feel like "everyone is a part of it".
Nobody seems to talk about marijuana being a “gateway drug” anymore, even though it’s still true.

I’ve witnessed friends in college become addicted to weed (yes, psychological addiction is still addiction) and their futures have suffered as a consequence.

I believe we need to discourage drug use as a society, not give up and let it become accepted. If that means instilling fear that one could be arrested with possession, then let it be.
