I tried to look into this right now.

He says he's found evidence. All he's posted that I can find is a 42min long video I can't be bothered watching properly, but skipping through it his methodology seems to rely on surveying people now and comparing to voting records. This - of course - isn't "finding potentially illegal votes".

But maybe I missed something. I do think it's interesting that his Twitter profile says he's releasing "data and reports" a week from Nov 24, and there is nothing.

It's also interesting how much of his video is about asking for donations......

This reminds me of the server that Zoom used to have.
Accepting connections only from 127.0.0.1, alone, isn't enough, since any request from the browser would match that IP, even if the request was being made through a XSS attack.

The two big categories in my mind are foreign campaign contributions (usually misdirected through others, so sometimes also fall out as fraud and money laundering charges) and failure to register as a foreign agent.

As a reminder, both of these categories have seen grand jury charges and subsequent guilty pleas by Trump associates. These have often paired nicely with 'lying to prosecutors' charges, which help clarify that they knew they were up to no good...

Try searching Pubmed for neurogenesis. It's pretty easy to find research that supports a supplement's usage.
That site links to examine.com which is a very reliable source of information.

The annoyance of many of studies about ALA is that they use ALA, not R-ALA, and since ALA is so unstable, I'd have to go through each study one by one to see what they did to account for that.

Ugh.

All that said, I'm guessing no one is trying to sell R-ALA for Keto since R-ALA seems to be rather expensive and most of the fake keto supplements are super low cost supplements with jacked up prices applied.
OK, so what is Deno? How is it different from Node? Why did you make Deno given that Node exists?

That is correct, and is precisely what happened with Stokke. Stokke came to the polling place was told that her mail-in ballot had already been received. She was given the choice to sign an affadavit claiming that she had not voted by mail, which would allow her to vote in person. She refused to sign the affadavit and then began to peddle her story as evidence of fraud. Really makes you think...

I’m an American and my sentiments are based on watching what this country has done to my working class friends and family. I’m glad those things don’t happen to people in Europe.

Just about every parliamentary democracy in Europe is more representative than the American system and nowhere near as corrupt.

Quite familiar with that history, as well as our own of chattel slavery and the genocide of indigenous people.

The issue with comments like this is that nobody was shouting when ISIS accounts were being banned from twitter or some of their execution videos were removed from platforms. Now I'm not advocating that ISIS videos should be allowed, but if you are in fact thinking "there are no buts" than you should have been shouting loudest at those times, because if you only shout when someone you agree with is being "censored" it suddenly seems much more that you only care about your freedom to say what you want, not the freedom for everyone to say anything.

> He condemned white supremacy only after receiving more backlash than he expected

He condemned white supremacy 38 times. Not once. Not twice. 38 times. There are clips of him condemning white supremacy as way back as 2000s when he wanted to run for President through a Reform Party ticket but instead decided to abort it last minute when he came to know that David Duke joined the party. Please tell me why Trump needs to condemn white supremacy 38 times and still be called a racist while Biden gets a free pass? Let us be frank here: you have an opinion of Trump based on what media has portrayed him to be rather than actually having done your own research. Or maybe you just hate the guy which is perfectly fine. But you can't say that he only condemned when he received backlash. He literally quit a Presidential race when he came to know that David Duke joined the Reform Party for Heaven's sake! What more condemnation do you need?

> The old adage is than when white supremacists believe you’re one of them you might as well be.

Biden sang eulogies for an actual KKK recruiter who was incidentally also a Democrat Senator and not one media house took Biden to task the way they did Trump. Heck, even the current Vice President Kamala Harris called Biden a racist on the Presidential Primary Stage! Then she happily went along with him as the VP candidate!

Jill Stokke was explicitly given the option to have her mail-in vote invalidated so she could vote in person. That was in Nevada; Procedures elsewhere may be different.
> [...] present an issue as being more balanced between opposing viewpoints than the evidence supports.

The idea that some evidence X supports viewpoint Y usually requires some underlying moral assumptions. Many times it's those fundamental moral assumptions that are in discussion, not the evidence itself.

For example: if the scientific evidence is "lockdowns stop the spread of the virus", someone may say: "well, this evidence supports my viewpoint that we should be in permanent lock-down until the virus is completely eradicated". But that starts from the assumption that stopping the spread of the virus is always the most important goal and other considerations (economy, education, etc) should be ignored.

Fake facts are an issue, but once we agree on facts, we're only halfway there, then we need to agree on what to do based on those facts.
If your bear case is a 10-year recovery to 40 from 20 that's a CAGR of 7.18%, about the same as the long-term average CAGR of the S&P. The difference is that the S&P doesn't have bankrupty risk, whereas airlines do [1]. So on a risk-adjusted basis, that kind of trade isn't too appealing unless you'd done significant research to show that the risk of bankruptcy or a buyout by a competitor at a reduced valuation was unlikely.

While you might have done that kind of research, the article implies (correctly, in my view) that the typical Robinhood user did not. No surprise; that sort of research is time consuming and requires significant familiarity with the industry. Yet airlines, cruise companies, and other risky assets were preferred by Robinhood users throughout the pandemic.

> It seems to be the attitude of many big tech companies that their users are too dumb to look at information and decide for themselves what is and isn’t true.

This seems demonstrably true for vast swathes of users, who have become enamored with Flat Eartherism and other such nonsense. Not saying censorship is necessarily the right solution, but arguing on behalf of the reasoning capabilities of the user base is clearly misguided.
No, do you have a recommendation? Currently hooked on the 40k Horus Heresy series, on book 34 and hope to have it finished early next year.
> In that meeting, he [Ashton] reportedly gushed about the company’s potential by comparing it to gambling websites. Kutcher put out a statement that he was “not insinuating that Robinhood is a gambling platform,” but rather referring to the company’s “current growth metrics.”

Yikes.
I do see a difference, sure. Just that the difference is getting slimmer and slimmer constantly, and already is too small for me to consider to be comfortable.

>For one thing, governments can kidnap you, your family and anyone you’ve spoken and lock you in a cage. That’s one of many huge differences between the two.

Companies used to do that already. Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. That's why, in my humble opinion, the time is now to reign in the power of mega corps.

It also misses the point a bit by focusing on the most egregious things like kidnapping, imprisonment, killings. You don't have to kidnap, kill or "vanish" your opponents, there are many ways to repress them, scare them into obedience and so on.

This isn't a company deciding, this is censorship urged by the government. I thought that kind of thing was illegal down there.

Not saying anything either way about the politics of the election, but isn't this blatant government censorship?

If you think it is, then why are you asking? If you're not sure, why are you asserting it (and suggesting that a party is equivalent to a government because some of its members are part of the government)?

Perhaps you should extend your inquiry, and ask how it is that much of one party and its leader are demanding that an election be overturned or declared invalid, using a variety of extremely tenuous arguments. Please consider that these demands originate with people who have also demanded tech companies be stripped of legal immunity for content publication and regularly expresses a wish to sue media outlets out of existence, topics which seem to have earned little discussion on HN.

Several people will say, "try not having a Facebook account and participating in X," where X is some mandatory part of your life, such as your children's schooling, keeping up with relatives, job-related stuff, social clubs or organizations, etc. It might not be impossible, but it's an undue burden in some cases.
First off, counting books you’ve read is a bit like counting lines of code. Sure it measure output in some fashion, but is a pretty fallible proxy for the real thing we’re after: knowledge.

But the question remains. There’s so many books and only so much time. For myself after years of taking a haphazard approach (bill gates list, stuff recommended on blogs, economist books/arts,etc) I’ve been working on a new strategy for the past few years and it feels like it’s working out well.

There is a 10-year reading plan for the “Great Books of the Western World. Within each year the books progress chronologically, and each year supposedly gets a bit more difficult.

Using that as a baseline does a few useful things for me.

- I never need to figure out what book is next.

- I can be reasonably confident that reading the books won’t be a waste; even if I don’t dig a particular book it provides context since, it being an important book, it likely influenced others.

- related to the above, I feel like reading the classic books gives me a better understanding new books; either because of a direct reference by the author or because the author is trying to dress up a not-so-original idea.

Of course the Great Books are not the be-all and end-all of human knowledge, so I make space for modern books, eastern books, etc. for that it’s as haphazard as before, the only difference is I’m more comfortable about skimming a book in(preface, conclusion, index, ToC, random chapter) and tossing it away if it doesn’t jump out at me.

I’ve actively worked on getting better at this. Excited to see other comments in this thread.

Also I recommend underlining and making notes in a book. This way when you go back to it you can engage with the ideas more efficiently.

EDIT: I also want to plug “how to read a book” which I feel like I do a lot on here. Really really good

Likely due to the regulatory difficulty in then brokering fractional share purchases.

If your "index fund" includes a few stocks that have large share prices (e.g. TSLA, AMZN), then to buy a single "share" of your fund would require quite a bit of capital. I don't believe the retail level investors that Robinhood targets are quite at that level.

They looked planned. I think they tested the full array of required operations: shutdown, gimbal, throttling, re-ignition.
I don't understand how this is O(n). You have to go through the set once to select each word and replace a b with o, then you have to go through the set again to search for the new word resulting from the replacement.

That is, if Ws is the set of 5-letter words we want the set Rs = {w: w ∈ Ws, w.replace(b,o) ∈ Ws}. You can see that that's an O(n²) operation (each ∈ is an iteration over Ws).

jayd16 proposed omitting every word that has a b in it from the "search space". I take this to mean, in practice, that we start by initialising a set Ss = {w: w ∈ Ws, b ∉ w}. Then Rs = {w: w ∈ Ws, w.replace(b,o) ∈ Ss} and the time complexity is O(|Ws||Ss|) which is again O(n²) in the worst case (where Ws = Ss). Note also that some words in Ws may have more than one b and since we are only replacing "a b" (i.e. one b) we may remove valid words this way.

In any case, I don't see an obvious way to do this in O(n). Maybe I'm not thinking straight though, it's way past bed time.

Here is a list of stuff that was released in May, 2020. 2 months removed from the response to the pandemic: https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/the-best-movies-and-tv-...

Not 100% of that was completely new IP, but it was new. And there were even new things released in April. I admit it was far lower than what would likely have been released without covid, but there was content being put out still. I admit that I was annoyed with the lack of content, and still am. But to suggest that I filled that time with stock trading seems like a stretch.

Also, none of this addresses my other point. Individual investors do not make up a majority of stock purchases. So to assume that the average Joe being bored at home lead to rallies in retail stocks just doesn't jive. What does jive is the decline in other investment opportunities and having large firms shift their investments into the only options they really had; Stocks and real estate.

However, real estate even became too prohibitive for a lot of investors due to the fed rate cut leading to tons of home buying. This is a sector that is largely composed of individual investors. Therefore, they were forced into stocks exclusively.

I would simply need a lot more data to support that individuals being bored lead to massive movements in stocks. in 2016 14% of stocks were owned by individual investors. Let's assume a 100% increase due to the media drought and thats 28%. That is not enough to truly influence large parts of the market into the hikes we've seen. Especially considering that during this time there was a lot of financial uncertainty for these individual investors. Many didn't know if they'd have paychecks coming in (take a look at the mortgage forbearance to see how many people assumed they wouldn't have money). So how many new investors joined in on their piece of the pie when they were also strapped for cash? I'd be surprised if it was 100% increase. The only people that could take advantage of the dips were people that had were likely already in the market and had consistent money coming in.

> the media stands behind the fact he's cognitively sound when he obviously isn't.

I am going to ignore the rest of your post and use this specific aspect to highlight something. Joe Biden has had a stutter his entire life. Stutters take an extensive and persistent amount of work to overcome. They are likely to return during times of increased stress, decreased sleep, or when one ages. There is zero evidence that Biden has experienced any kind of mental decline. All the evidence that people point to of him stumbling over his words, calling someone by the wrong title, or whatever other examples you have are almost certainly just symptoms and coping mechanisms used by someone with a stutter.
