> It is shocking to me that some people actually prefer to rely on "fact checkers," as if those people are somehow more intelligent, and less biased than the readers themselves.

In the large majority of topics, there exist huge numbers of people who are far more expert than I am. I don't just prefer expert "fact checkers" in fields like medicine, law, science, plumbing, wiring, etc., I depend on them. Similarly, there are certainly journalists who have much more time and experience when it comes to these topics than I have.
It seems like you overall support the system of overbearing rights holder automatically punishing and shutting down normal user behaviour, like taking a guitar and playing a song for others (i.e. the fairest of uses imaginable). What amazing power over human culture we have given to the corporations.

Worked at Cinnabon many years ago: you can roll out dough to a rounded rectangle pretty easily. The trick is to work diagonally corner to corner. The radiused bits get cut off with the ends of the rolled, uh, "log" of cinnamon rolls before you cut the finished rolls off of the log.

There's some waste but they're shooting for consistent rolls. A home baker making cookies would optimize differently.
I don't think this is an issue. A star isn't a single point, and each one maps to a small-but-not-infinitessimal area on the unit sphere.
More nonsense for non-tech founders posing as nonsense for tech founders. All of these points leave out developer happiness and buying just does equal good knowledge. It equals Googling around a black box.

Also worth noting that "buy" in this context can also mean using a piece of open-source software, not just buying something commercial.

Identity – A story from my training time as a Psychiatrist
Bikes "have to be light weight" even if the riders are fat.

Cars can just burn more gas.

For example the "transmission" on my bicycle is this crazy open air greasy oil contraption that instantly gets covered in rust if not oiled or gets wet, alternatively gets covered in sandy grit if oiled and its a maintenance headache and parts are lucky if they last 10K miles.

On a car, you just burn more gas to haul heavy parts, and my car transmission has an external case that must weigh 100 pounds, but the fluid in it is continuously purified by filter and magnet and will last the life of the car maybe 250K miles with no maintenance required, generally.

Its kinda interesting you can tell how old a "Car Guy" is by how much maintenance he thinks a car transmission requires. In the REALLY old days transmissions were so unreliable there were dedicated transmission repair shops.

Another typical subsystem is brakes. Cars often have brakes often last over 50K miles, although those parts are very heavy and a bear to work on. On bikes, they have to be small and light, so maybe 1K miles average.

What secure Android ROM can one use in the real world
If you look at android phones, they leak a lot of data to google/fbk/your carrier and who knows who else. Is there any value to moving to a secure android rom like Lineage, Calyx, or Graphene? Any other ideas, or are you just stuck?
Quick correction: it is not the same as eval.
It does not have access to the current scope. It is technically a fair bit safer when trying to run code from a string.

It may have access to the window object, however, so if something important is there, if can probably mess with that.
Armed with what? Since about March or April we've had a not insignificant number of people armed with Molotov cocktails, what difference is there when they are armed with factory made weapons? Frankly, anyone that threatens or carries out acts of violence is at fault, regardless of their political persuasion - don't turn a blind eye to actual criminals just because you think you might agree with them.
Yeah, we can argue about the merits of capitalism vs socialism, but what some companies want is "socialism for us, capitalism for our employees".
I've been using vim for a bit over a decade now. But throughout that time I bounce between actual vim and vim emulation. Lately I've been concluding emulation is better most of the time.

The problem with real vim is maintaining your setup can be super painful. 95% of the time it's fine, but that 5% can really bite you. For example, this bug, https://github.com/tpope/vim-vinegar/issues/10, struck me out of nowhere. It was super annoying, and took some debugging and exploration to find a work around for. As you can see from the comments, it seemed to impact like 5 people, so you often don't have the advantage of a large audience pushing for fixes. In the end the bug was in vim itself, not the plugin btw.

With all that said, in my humble opinion I would say start learning real vim with say vimtutor (it is possibly already installed on your machine) and use vim to say edit config files or do git commits. When you are getting comfortable with the vim way of editing, switch to an emulator in your IDE. IdeaVim for the IntelliJ family is really good, that's what I use today.
This seems in character for DeepMind. Last time I saw their org chart it was perfectly flat with absolutely everyone reporting directly to the CEO.
It does not help with time sync at all; you can't detect a collapse, just trigger it.
I guess the fall-off is even worse. At the beginning the intensity falls off as 1/r^2, but eventually the intensity becomes so small that you're talking about individual photons. At some point the intensity will then fall from a single photon to zero. So, after some critical distance the intensity will actually drop to zero.

More formally, each star emits some amount of power in each frequency band: P(f) so that \int_0^\infty P(f) df = P_total.

For each frequency then, we have a total of P(f)/(hf) photon emitted per second. The total number of photons emitted per second by the star is then \int_0^\infty df P(f)/hf which is a finite number.

The total number of photons received per unit area a distance r away from the star would then be

\frac{1}{4\pi r^2} \int_0^\infty df P(f)/hf

If your detector has an area A (e.g. your retina or some other device), you'd expect to see

\frac{A}{4\pi r^2} \int_0^\infty df P(f)/hf

photons per second from the star. As r gets really large, you'd see this drop arbitrarily low. Conversely, the amount of time you'd need to wait to see a single photon from that star then grows, making the star dark.
But I kinda feel like your example proves the point, because I've never seen MLK described as a "politician" or "political figure". Politics as most people understand it is the process of deciding who ought to run the government, and King specifically avoided discussing this (https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/sta...) because he felt that doing so would undercut his mission of social change.

I'm not operating on any fallacies at all.

First of all, it's not a straw man. Spellcheckers were standalone applications for years before word processors began integrating them. [1]

And second, it's not a slippery slope fallacy, it's an actual slippery slope, that's the whole point. There isn't a "pretty clear distinction" at all.

If I understand you correctly, you're arguing that when spellcheckers came out, the existing products should have been able to legally prevent WordPerfect (and eventually Word, and Docs, etc.) from ever building their own integrated spellcheckers. To this day, you'd need to buy Word, and then buy a separate spellchecking app or extension.

But there's no distinction between spellchecking and 100 other features that Word has that also used to be separate programs -- like mail merge, like drawing capabilities, like a citations manager, etc. etc. etc.

And you really think that would be a good idea?

These essays are getting ridiculous. We get it, you have tons of experience funding companies so it helps you to do a competent job filtering the candidates.But after that it is pretty much a crap-shoot, and all this theorizing are just post-hoc rationalizations to satisfy your ego.
That’s why I posted it!
The word "earnest" seems a bit antiquated to me. I've rarely used it since I was a child, except in the phrase "earnest money". https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/earnest-money.asp

I guess "honest", "dedicated", "non-flaky", "good follow-through", and "good track record" would be terms I would use to communicate it instead.

Edit: oops, I hadn't yet read the second paragraph.
Besides that finding, there is the other more recent article, about the actual RNA found.
Ironically (or perhaps fittingly?), the entire article is blocked by a cookie wall on mobile that I have to click through before reading.
I never said anything wasn’t a big deal. I don’t think death toll has a direct relationship with how “big of a deal” something is.

The premise of the article is that relative number sizes have a bearing on how big of a deal something is, so I have to assume that’s to whom you’re responding.
> The experts claim to easily be able to confirm, based on morphology and acoustics, that the whales are a new species

That's pretty cool. I would have thought that confirming you've seen something that no-one else on the planet has would be a somewhat difficult task. I wonder if there's like a world-recognized central database where this morphology and acoustics data of all species are organized for easy comparison.

> These samples were taken as eDNA - a new, fancy technique in which gallons of the surrounding water is captured and filtered for bits of DNA which can then be cross-checked against the DNA of known species.

Also pretty cool. I didn't expect them to leave so many pieces of themselves in their wake for something like this to be possible.
If you want to know whether you are being lied to, learn math and science. The best info on covid, for example, doesn't come from any journalist, but from the CDC. You just need to know how to find and read it. What exactly do humanities courses help me with here?
The way I put this to clients is that you should own the bricks that your product is made of and not worry so much about the mortar. The bricks are the SQL queries, the logic inside the container images you run, the data stored in the tables and storage buckets. Oh yes, and the business relationships and brand equity.

As long as you're wiring those things together in ways you can replicate across cloud providers or in your own datacenter or on your own server in the closet, you've achieved the sweet spot in terms of deployment portability.

Running your own (Kubernetes cluster|database instance|pubsub system) on a cloud provider is crazy given that you now have at lease $150K+/yr piece of overhead in the form of at least one (dev)ops person. Save that expense for when or if you decide your needs have become predictable enough that you can start building your own software/hardware/network infrastructure.

Unless advanced devops fu is an important part of your company's mission or valuation, don't do it unless its saving you a lot of money over the alternatives.
Thanks. I feel I know everything about hammers now.
This works great until you hire a second person who now has to figure out how your system works from the documentation you wrote, rather than the documentation and blogposts on the internet written by the thousands of people who thought the other thing was cool.
This looks very interesting. Out of curiosity how did you typeset / format the book? It looks gorgeous! Was it in HTML/CSS? In which case I assume you are using Prince XML I guess since you got the pagination just right.

Separately on topic, CSS debugging is a hard thing to put in book form, and there is a lack of materials on the web on CSS (stack overflow which is usually great for programming languages, is not as good for front end design in my opinion), so for those learning CSS, or aspiring to be web developers, this could be a great starting resource.
Oh man, who is the guy doing the GPU fixes?! I need help...
I like this style of freezer ice cube tray: silicone and big cubes. None of that snapping and cracking.

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Extra-Large-Ice-Cube-Tray-Big-Giant-...

Before a camping trip, I’ll freeze whatever I can, especially any carried water. Possible freeze a small box-bottle of Pinot Grigio and it’s good to drink in a day or two.

Oddly, packaged ice in Canada is usually shards of 2cm thick ice. I think they make big blocks and smash them up. Not like the UK.

I think I’ve only seen the cylinder cubes in the article at Starbucks.
Very cool how they went through their steps etc in the video on Youtube. Lots of intelligence and hard work on show there.

So part of me is excited / impressed / happy for them. Serious effort and seriously impressive. Especially catching Zodiac's mistake and adjusting for it to completely solve the cipher.

They other part of me hates that someone so terrible has been able to capture the imaginations of people for so long with his terrible games.
Nice. Some suggestions:
1) Show some expanded information on hover;
2) Put (more) links to Wikipedia/CanIUse;
3) Allow some kind of resize. Even if I zoom out in Chrome I cannot see all the periodic table at once;
4) Maybe the rows must be organized by "relevant" ratio. So currently used will be on top and obsolete/deprecated in bottom;
5) Yet on 4, maybe we can customize the order?
6) Missing a "Server side" column for ASP.Net, Php, etc...
7) Allow hide/show columns

A house in our neighborhood burned to the ground and the fire was started by a laptop battery (replacement) charging. It shot up through the roof of the kitchen into attic and started a fire that quickly consumed the house. I would never put in a battery not from the manufacturer after that not that that is a guarantee.
Would you agree that Independents, regardless of their internal preference, are a good barometer of centrists vs extremists? I do. And as such, we ought to want arguably 'radical' beliefs like that there was widespread fraud to be marginal in such groups if we want to feel confident it isn't something that needs addressing to avoid conflict over it.
Why? Their purpose is to stop platforms from getting sued for copyright violations. They are remarkably successful to that end.

Their goal isn’t to allow all content that wouldn’t get them sued but to catch all content that would. False positives get you angry messages on Twitter but false negatives get you multimillion dollar lawsuits.

>Why did you drag the "repair" and "a bad charger causing a fire" into one category?

Because a charger doesn't have some magical ability that makes it the only kind of device to cause this. The fire could just as easily come from an equally poorly made third-party battery...

>What a horrible strawman argument to make.

What a horrible, rude, violation of the principle of charity.
It's cute how you resolve (!) a debate that encompasses linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, psychology, neurology, and maybe a couple other sciences with a single link to some TED talk.
Poland (and most of Eastern Europe) has been steamrolled repeatedly by neighboring empires which have imposed what amounted to foreign governments. These governments ruled despite, not due to, the local populations. Ergo secret police, network of informants, etc, just to control the population.

It's hard to have very high trust levels when your own government and state are working against you and when your coworkers and neighbors can at any time rat you out for unpatriotic activities.
I wish he would start blogging, Twitter seems such a waste on him
On lichess and other forums, players tend to play opponents with similar ratings. Since Magnus Carlsen's opponents don't leave things en prise as often as the average player, Carlsen may not make that many captures per move, but I bet he captures more often than his opponents.
As someone who's not knowledgeable about this...will SpaceX or a private space company ever begin sending satellites, probes, rovers to planets besides NASA's current planning or does the reduced cost of the reusable rockets not help that much given the lack of financial payoffs and amount of time needed to maintain.

Always bums me out that we aren't sending probes off to all the inner and outer planets every year given the length of time it takes for them to even get to their destination.
Not always a poor job, but sometimes a bet that turns out wrong. I have seen great products and companies disappear in unforeseen mergers or API prices skyrocketing for instance.

Risk is low for commodities, but high for anything "disruptive".
I'm struggling to find any direct clips, but many are suggesting it was due to a fan showing their ass while he was streaming with Sabaton.
But if Twitter allows radicals, the moderates will leave.

Any shareholder would agree that the choice is clear -
ban the radicals.

This is a private company and they are exercising their free market rights.

Maybe you think this is wrong, and the government should interfere by forcing Twitter to publish all content.

Well, good luck with that.
So, the central point (or one of them, at least) of Manufacturing Consent is that news/media organisations are shaped by what advertisers desire, such that the reporting is mostly friendly to a capitalistic worldview.

This is 100% analogous to what Google are doing with respect to demonetising youtube videos, and troubling for exactly the same reasons.
Yet you oppose certain kinds of speech outright by virtue of the fact that the population has decided via democratic legislation that they should be crimes, presumably because of the harm that they cause.

I don't believe that the intention of the framers was that free speech was a good in-and-of itself but that making it difficult (but not impossible) to restrict speech has positive outcomes. At the very least, that is my read of things.
We do have some mechanisms to control activity that we don't want, but we do need to be level-headed enough to use it.

> what makes you think that HN is more immune to this sort of thing than a community like Twitter or reddit?

I've always perceived HN as fairly elitist, e.g. composed of many top earners and skilled people. The term is often meant negatively; in this case it might be a positive feature. Reminding people that they're on HN, where I think most expect a higher standard than on Twitter or reddit, might make them try to be better. I'm not saying we are composed of some elite, just observing that it's often perceived that way and that we can actually try to use that notion in a good way, to improve the conversation.
Why is building a website so hard? (2017)
The idea of whether or not a job is efficient to exist is independent of this. There are other ways to distribute money than creating jobs with output we don't need. I.e. maybe this is something we decide is a useful public service and we do create some public department to arbitrate this - great, we created the work because we said the work was worthwhile. My guess is most don't consider a place to host your videos/livestreams a public service though and trying to regulate the private companies in a way they'd function like a public service instead would both be unpopular and extraordinarily inefficient/complicated.

The comment at the end of your comment is probably what triggered the negative response here at HN for what it's worth.
“Proven false” clearly isn’t the standard. Nobody has proven the election fraud claims false. (Or the Hunter Biden e-mails story.) Like AOC’s misinformation about climate change, the conclusions are just extremely unlikely based on the facts we know. That’s been a high enough bar for censorship.
Norway and Denmark (as well as France) were treated with kiddie gloves compared to what occupation in Eastern Europe meant.
The evidence that you request does not match the quote you pulled out. And even if the Democrats did want to further solidify their victory, that would be an extraordinarily foolish way of doing it, as any doubt cast on the legitimacy of the election furthers Trump's agenda, not their own.
And you'll also need a seperate synchronization license to play the song with any visuals. Music rights are ridiculously convoluted.

Whoa it looks like there's serious demand for CO2 emission rights!

Except that the whole market is completely fake and wouldn't even exist if it wasn't forced upon taxpayers in the form of as yet another tax.
A lot of the maintenance issues change with low code solutions, as do a bunch of other assumptions made in the article. We will be seeing a lot more low code developed without rigor by end user teams in coming years.
This is like the demoscene equivalent of "solving" the Rubik's Cube by removing the stickers from the faces and reapplying them in the correct configuration of one solid color per face.
Facts are not opinions. More and more, people are distrustful of large media organizations, which at least historically have a commitment to doing what they can to report true facts. If you believe that those organizations are untrustworthy, that's your opinion that you have a right to. However, you don't have a right to hold up another set of facts as valid without evidence. The truth doesn't care about your opinion.
I'm using your service (found it on HN too) for a side project and I'm very happy with it. Good job!

One nitpick: I'm seeing occasional timeouts (probably because the residential endpoint went down recently). Do you have a best practice on how to work around that?
You're quite literally posting in a thread about Twitter deplatforming people. I don't understand how you can argue about people leaving Twitter for other platforms "just because."
