I happen to agree that false balance is a truly profound problem. And I would go so far as to say it's one of a small handful of ideas I wish could be drilled into the head of every consumer of news. I find it to be one of the most underappreciated and incredibly important ideas of the past few decades.

All of that said, this is one of the last places where I think it is a helpful response. The thrust of Russell's quote is about being informed and thinking critically, which you can value without equating it to false balance.
No. Read this again. He literally posted a video of people yelling "white power".
Google docs works much better. Real-time collaboration is smooth. Somehow it’s much more performant than using word locally. You can add comments, assign tasks to others (also using comments and +<email address> To tag the assignee). You can also write suggested edits for someone else to approve. Annotations/references and figure numbering are there via plugins.

Share point/teams real-time collaboration also works, although not as well, but it has a fatal flaw: it’s too easy to download and work locally, so most users will do this and break the real-time collaboration aspect, without even realizing this was a feature in the first place, falling back on passing around v2_final.docs files that have to be merged.

In google docs, you can even use word docs natively now, though a few features are missing. You need a bit of discipline in the team to live with missing this or that tiny formatting detail, again to avoid breaking real-time collaboration.
I have mixed feelings about this subject. On the one hand I would like Google/FB to remove antivax content on all of their platforms as it's immediately dangerous to people and unanimously debunked by scientists. On the other hand I know once the big tech gets comfortable with the idea of censorship they gradually start expanding their editorial reach and start censoring things left and right with double standards as I believe applies in this case. You can find a ton of videos on YouTube claiming Russians made Trump president, one could argue this is equal to claiming voter fraud got Biden elected. I happen to think both are completely false conspiracy theories. There's so much fabricated information on internet and YouTube that the idea of censorship based on truthfulness seems crazy to me. Google, FB, and other big tech should come up with clear red lines for what's acceptable and apply it consistently across the board. Immediately dangerous information and unanimously debunked could be a good red line.
I typically listen to audiobooks and I usually choose them from author, or narrator.

I drive a lot.
I wish there was a NestJS equivalent to Deno, then I’d consider using it for projects
Having read some stories about the intelligence services of the former USSR, I cannot agree. While there wasn't jockeying for monetary comp, there was just as strong effects felt in terms of pure political power in those org structures.

If anything, the competition sounded even worse, because losing often meant privation or even death.
No one denies that those people were there. Trump condemns them unconditionally.

The issue is the denial of people like this who were also there:

>“Good people can go to Charlottesville,” said Michelle Piercy, a night shift worker at a Wichita, Kan., retirement home, who drove all night with a conservative group that opposed the planned removal of a statue of the Confederate general Robert E. Lee.

And this:

I think that all these people are misguided, but they aren't neo-nazis or white nationalists.

>If you're okay with marching alongside a swastika, are you really a "very fine person?"

Are people marching in the same area as looters or antifa 'very fine people'? Yes, of course they are. No one has control who shows up at these huge public demonstrations.
I don't remember Tesla having massive recalls, especially compared to other car manufacturers that had tons of those over the past years.
Just to add, here's the full clip - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmaZR8E12bs

I think everyone should watch this for themselves and decide whether the media's portrayal of what Trump said is reasonable and fair.
> No-one ever defends themselves by saying "everything I did was enabled by the poorly designed system, therefore I am not a criminal".

People charged with hacking defend themselves this way all the time. And other people defend them in the same terms.

Recently a guy was charged for accessing public URLs. Sure, they were specifically made available to the public, but the public wasn't supposed to look at them.
> In addition, there is logic to deter brute force attacks (e.g. after 10 guesses wipe my device)

The brute force protection has historically not been flawless. Rumour says the Greykey used to brute force the pin/passphrase by glitching the power every few attempts which reset the counter.
>I don't get this view.

People like things you don't like.
my assertion was that its of questionable value to add someone to a list of "wrong-thinkers" or in other ways suggest that they have no further contributions to make without supporting that assessment. Its great to criticize someone's thought, its not so great to attempt to deplatform them by persuading other people not to examine their ideas.

> Do you still believe the article is just a way to label pg as bad, or do you see why a discussion of issues of his credibility is important?

I think its great to discuss his credibility. I think its less great to try to write him off based on the results of that discussion.
That was so amazing to watch! I wish I could have been able to get down to South Padre to watch in person
I'm curious, would you be willing to share the origin of your HN username?
My understanding is the following:
Home Edition needs to be disconnected from the Internet before booting to allow the creation of a local account during setup. Otherwise the option does not show up.
I don't know about Pro Edition, but it seems it was still possible to create a local account during setup in late 2019.
Yeah, keep using my Lumia and playing with UWP.
So you had some tacos and craft beers in hipster cafes and and now understand drugs, homeless, cartels and criminal activity along the border? What is the point of your comment?

The "people on my side" haven't been seeking a second civil war or race war. There may be a handful of Richard Spencer types but no one I know agrees with anything like that. What I know is a multi ethnic coalition that is anti-globalist, anti-bureaucratic, anti-war and nationalistic in the sense it believes in strong American identity and state and it believes in free and transparent elections.

The same "extremist" comments could be made about antifa types but it wouldn't be representative of all Democrats, many of whom are probably something like school teacher union and human resource members not communists with Molotov cocktails.

These are big coalitions but you are smart person who spends a lot of time over the years commenting on politics and you know that I'm sure.

I hope you are wrong about blood in the streets. I really do. But you might not be. Both sides have gotten a bit too extremist and utterly convinced of their righteousness so it might go to bad place no matter the outcome.
For whatever reason, Wired preferred the clickbait title, but the opening sentence of the article is: "On Wednesday afternoon, SpaceX successfully launched—and nearly landed—a fully-assembled prototype of its next generation Starship rocket on a suborbital flight from its facility in south Texas."
> We had echo chambers long before we had an Internet.

Yes indeed. The Internet, as well as some other more modern communication technologies, has greatly optimized the proliferation and psychological impact of the echo chambers.
The Confederacy fought to keep people as slaves. You can't claim it has nothing to do with white supremacy.
He definitely did...

Well that certainly brings any of their other recent acts of censorship under greater suspicion. This validates what they censored somewhat.
This would indeed be excellent. Unfortunately, "surrender to authority and do as you are told" is the main lesson of modern schooling, as they're mostly concerned about controlling (as in keep them physically close and supervised and presumably safe) as many students as possible with a limited budget and staff.
> With liquid propellants (but not gaseous), failure to ignite within milliseconds usually causes too much liquid propellant to be inside the chamber, and if/when ignition occurs the amount of hot gas created can exceed the maximum design pressure of the chamber, causing a catastrophic failure of the pressure vessel. This is sometimes called a hard start or a rapid unscheduled disassembly (RUD).

For non-fiction I'd usually go to the bookstore and pick the thinnest book on the subject. I don't like filler in nonfiction books. My favorite thing about them is if I don't understand a difficult passage I can go back and read it again until I do. Among others, this technique has gotten me Relativity[1] and QED[2] to name just a couple.

Correct. We are currently working on reducing size for these `deno compile` binaries. From preliminary testing we think we can reduce size by around 60%.

Regarding speed, we are investigating V8 snapshotting of the user code, which would give it a great boost in startup time. Actual runtime performance would be the same.
For Food Bloggers: What about a food-specific newsletter platform (substackfood)
Substack-like newsletters are pretty generalist in their features and I see a room to niching them down for specific food creators. Food blogging constitutes a major part of blogging, and there is room to make a lot of food-specific newsletter features, and maybe some futuristic integration with cloud kitchens? (think of everyone contributing recipes to a hellofresh-like infrastructure?). What do you think?
Ada, FreePascal, C and C++ do perfectly fine.

Not everyone is using Linux with glibc linking issues.
You don't have any secret evidence that other people haven't already seen and already debunked.

Ask yourself this: is there anything that could convince you that the election was on the up-and-up?
> But Shah says he’s being made a “scapegoat” for figuring out how to legally profit from obscure tax-code loopholes that allowed Cum-Ex trades, named for the Latin term for “With-Without.”

How does this claim keep getting made? "Cum-Ex" is English for "with-without". It would be Latin for "with-from". The Latin word for "without" is sine.
Yep, that’s the detail I missed. Thanks for raising it.
Do you have the Bose HD 700s? They are terrible indeed.
They can still sell their inventory e.g. impressions and clicks, but they wouldn't run the DSP/SSP (just like other ad supported publishers).
I would like to see him be successful. He cannot be worse than the present mayor.

On the other hand, I think he’s a bit naive. He has good intentions, but we know where good intentions take us.

UBI in principle sounds nice, but it is also potentially a power grab. You get people used to UBI, you get them dependent on it, then you use it to control them.

But who knows, if his mayorship doesn’t not revolve around his hobbyhorse, I don’t see why he couldn’t be better than mr Wilhelm.
You are completely correct
Ruby 3.0 will not have frozen strings by default:

I'm not sure what your point is, but you don't have to take my word for it. That's the nice thing about facts!
Cum-ex is getting a refund for taxes you never paid on transactions you made purely to get the tax refund. There was no risk at all. Of course it is fraud and illicit, and judges have long confirmed this.
120+ books a year! I’m astonished. How do you achieve this? I struggle to read one a month.

I should probably turn off WiFi.

I browse indie bookshops, talk to colleagues and friends, read reviews and I’m on GoodReads. People know I like books so they buy or loan me books sometimes. I keep a list of loads of books that sound good, then chip away at it. The list is always growing so things fall off it, unread, eventually. It’s more of a stack, but with occasional queue behaviours.

I will typically always have about 10 unread books in a pile that I haven’t yet started. Which one I pick up next depends on mood. If I’ve just read an amazing novel I’ll probably choose non-fiction next as another novel immediately will often never feel as enjoyable.
No, not that, I meant the moment when one of the three engines shut off mid air and then moved away a bit so the remaining ones point straight down.

Machine guns are overly elaborate. A bunch of < $20 drones from Ali express with an explosive tied on would do it. You would not even need elaborate radio-jamming defeating control systems, they just need to fly straight until they hit something then a tilt sensor or timer detonates them. If it’s one thing we learned from myth busters, it’s how much damage the concussion wave from a surprisingly small blast can do to anyone nearby.

I've been using vercel/pkg with great success, in order to achieve a similar target and package a whole application into a standalone executable:

https://github.com/vercel/pkg

This can be useful for people wanting to do this with Node. It's nice to have a single file that can be started right away without any external dependency. And also, it prevents from having to distribute the full sources. Kudos to the Deno devs who have integrated this option directly into the runtime.
In the case of the above listed languages, it's not just that the application is compiled to a single executable, it's that they're statically linked/truly self-contained. The only thing they dynamically link against is the OS's standard library. So there's no "DLL hell" either.
Let’s un-muddle something: I’m not using this example of fraud to prove that the entire electoral system is broken, as you are suggesting. I’m using it as an example of real actual evidence that is quickly forgotten by the media in order to continue to ridicule anyone who has doubts about the election results.

Considering in just this one example, the margin of victory in a crucial state was reduced by something like 25 percent, why wouldn’t a rational person begin to have some doubt.
Currently binary size is a bit larger than the `deno` cli.

We are currently working on reducing size for these `deno compile` binaries though. From preliminary testing we think we can reduce size by around 60% - maybe even more.
Swing and a miss.. but not by much! Congrats to the SpaceX team on the amazing and fast progress. What an incredible step forward.
"What is limiting your growth?" is a myopic view of this problem. An injection of capital provides runway at a minimum and leverage in many cases regardless of a company's situation at nearly every stage. Your suggestion of "growth" as the metric to be maximized is the main issue. If an enterprise wants to generate maximum short-term profits for the owner, establish a large market share initially, or generate maximum cash flows long-term, each presents a very different view of when and how capital can solve problems.
> We're talking about Youtube, not Google search results for Fox News.

YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine, next to Google itself. I would say it's not beyond the realms of possibility for YouTube to eventually eclipse Google.
> Trustzones or secure enclaves can be "broken" via uncapping.

That's true, but it's a big step up from the “push a button, data appears,” described in them article.

I think it was purging leftover hypergolic fuel, which is used to ignite the engines. Or, maybe the engine sensed the engine was abnormal (because of low fuel), so it tried to re-ignite.

Hey, Bartek from deno.land here.

I'll be more than happy to answer your questions about Deno and its development.
That is not what YouTube said. They will not take down a video where you say that some people died between the time that they mailed in their vote and the time that the votes were counted, so those votes shouldn't and didn't count.

They will take down a video that says that foreign countries stole the election for Biden, because all of the evidence points to that not being true at all.
This is definitely true when the boss-man doesn't change. But these people aren't against power, or even against power used abusively against the people - they're only against "the other team" and clearly happy to cover up just about any bad actions of their preferred team.
My understanding is that there's also some clever gunsmithing involved to help reduce felt recoil there as well, but I'm not an authority in any way.
To be fair, there are plenty of cases of _isolated, singular_ fraud (see the various people that tried to double vote and got caught). The OPs wording is quite deliberate.
If it is illegal...shouldnt the AG prosecute them??
These seem to be the most upto date numbers.

You haven't refuted even one of Hitchens' claims. All you're doing is trying to redirect and distract from them. Reciting a Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap label at me doesn't prove your point, it just shows you're irrational. And now you're making straw man arguments falsely accusing me of having the idea that I'm somehow above God. That's a non-sequitur. Where did you get that from??! Why do you have to just make shit up, instead of arguing the facts? Tell me what Hitchens said that isn't true, and prove it.

This is a discussion about psychopathic people being able to conceal it, and fool gullible people into literally believing they're saints. Of course she relentlessly self promoted and grandstanded -- that's what she was doing when she attended a nun consecration ceremony (which she didn't need to do, and didn't help the poor) and decapitated innocent people with the propellers of her private charter airplane, killing two children, and a man who ran a home for lepers, then she arrogantly claimed it was a Miracle from God that SHE survived. How narcissistic can you possibly get?

Do you or don't you agree that Mother Teresa is a psychopath, and if you disagree, how do you square it with the facts that Hitchens and others raise? (Without attacking the messenger, address the FACTS.)

The spectacle of you trying to defend her with mumbo-jumbo, without contesting any of the widely know and documented facts about her, simply proves my point that she fooled a lot of gullible people who refuse to be swayed by the facts, including you.
Bill Ackman: give every American cash at birth so they can retire a millionaire
Yep, it's sad that we are selling all of that ammunition into Mexico. The fact that the United States is supplying the cartels with military-grade weapons and ammunition is a tragedy, and my heart goes out to the Mexicans whose lives have been ripped apart by weapons and ammunition imported into the country from the United States.

The drugs coming this way I couldn't give less of a shit about. I'm pro-decriminalization anyway.

I hope that doesn't stop anyone from spending time in Baja, California. It is truly one of the hidden gems of the area. The people are wonderful, and the region has a lot to offer. Your least pleasant experience will be dealing with US Customs and Border protection on the way back in. Those people have a real stick up their ass.

To add on to the understanding thing above, I did a master's in International Affairs with a focus on Latin American Politics and a special interest in the Drug War in Mexico at UCSD's school of Global Policy and Strategy. I took a class from David Shirk. My final GIS project was tracing narcotics trafficking routes up through Mexico. I know more about it than I want to. And yet, despite all that, I will talk anyone's ear off about the absolute wonders of Baja, California to anyone who will listen because it really is a special place.
Same here, the static linking hype feels real strange, given that was the only option we used to have back in the day, and having access to dynamic linking on 16 bit platforms felt like liberating.
