There is in fact no reason to believe fraud is higher than other years; for example, states where elections were administered by conservative Republicans found essentially no instances of it, despite huge incentives.

Another strong indication that there wasn't fraud? The ludicrous affidavits accompanying the highest-profile lawsuits against states.
For computer hackers, we have clear laws citing unlawful access to computer systems. Plus, computer hackers don't tend to consult with lawyers before doing their thing.

For traders, we don't have all-encompassing laws covering tax avoidance. Plus, traders have money for hiring professional for finding loopholes.

That's the difference.
I really gobble up this kind of word play.

To highlight to you how absolutely insane this move is by google:

When the Hunter Biden story broke, it seemed as though every social media company, nearly in tandem, worked to censor it in the name of "stopping the spread of misinformation".

Today: it was announced that there is a federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden's business dealings in China. (https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/09/politics/hunter-biden-tax-inv...)

These people are not, and should NEVER be the arbiters of truth. They are ideologically driven, obviously, since they are human.

> The difference is that NPM as an org has a lot more to lose if they mess up everyones packages

How is that important? Most Deno packages are imported from GitHub (or deno.land). Neither NPM nor GitHub want to lose your code.

> Left pad was promptly fixed! That's an argument for a centralized package manager, not against.

This is not an argument for a central package manager, but an argument for a central package repository.

Deno is already a "central package manager". Similar to NPM in Node development, Deno is the default tool to download code in Deno development. Both with Node or Deno, you can download code in other ways, too. Nobody forces you to load code from URLs via import statements or NPM packages via npm install and commonjs require. (Also, when it comes to executing random code from the internet, Deno has a sandbox. Node doesn't.)

And yes, well maintained package repositories are great. Whether centrally or decentrally managed repos are better is up for debate, though.

In any case, if you want to use NPM packages in Deno, I'd recommend https://www.skypack.dev/. It's "NPM packages from a URL", so, as we have established earlier, it's just as much reliant on trust and potentially unstable as anything in life, but at least their left-pad is patched...

I agree the metaphor was used incorrectly but I still would not say it was creating misconceptions. A better metaphor for the current day would be making prank 911 calls to the fire department when you know there is no fire. Doing this wastes taxpayer money, diverts resources away from actual emergencies and can cause real harm.

If anything, the metaphor seems to have persisted because it's applicable in so many other scenarios, not because of that one case that rarely seems to get brought up in casual discussion.
One thing that never comes up in these discussions that seems very relevant to me is the preferences of women.

Maybe it is just from my own limited experience but women seem to vastly prefer dating/marrying men who have fulltime jobs, even if those men are independently wealthy and could get by without work.

Not to say there aren't women out there of the gold-digger persuasion, but at least amongst the upper-middle class women I grew up around work and the willingness to work is seen as an important character trait.
This doesn't really add up though because in reality the butcher would just use invoice finance to get the money ahead of time at a way lower cost than a 50% discount he's offering, which would probably include some insurance if the restaurant went under. It doesn't make sense. Invoice finance might cost 5-15% of the invoice. Why wouldn't you do that rather than giving customers 50% off? I can get a small discount but half price doesn't seem realistic.
> it's not like Google is going to get in

> trouble for allowing people to post about

> conspiracy theories

Actually it is exactly like that, they see lost revenue coming if they get tagged as the go-to place for misinformation on this topic. They may already be seeing advertisers complaining that no matter how much they try to screen they are still getting complaints of their ads showing up in prerolls for conspiracy videos. So they are making a public show of letting everyone know that they don't want to be in that business and they are doing all they can to stay out of it.

If they will do all they can or not, who knows? It is not like they have done all that much about QAnon.
I'm a SpaceX fan, and I hear your arguments so let me give one aspect of the other side:

I think you and I are in a bet about whether progress for Starship is going to be roughly linear or exponential. Obviously I'm betting emotionally on the latter. Granted I could go on and on about the facts that I think back up my assessment, but in the end I think you and I both know it really comes down to hunches, doesn't it?

My hunch is that your argument is the equivalent of Steve Ballmer's famous •shrug* about the iPhone. But I could be wrong, of course.
>Facebook announced in March plans to encrypt Messenger, which last year was responsible for nearly 12 million of the 18.4 million worldwide reports of child sexual abuse material

This suggests the majority of it was exchanged privately, which means it mostly may have been automatically detected by systems matching content hashes. On Pornhub, it's all available to the public rather than in private messages, which makes the problem a lot more evident and visible, and arguably more damaging (e.g. if you were raped as a child, you potentially may find it more damaging if one million people see the video compared to ten people).

If Facebook hadn't taken appropriate measures, Visa and Mastercard certainly should have investigated them if they were in a position to.

Another issue here is Pornhub is directly profiting off of the CSAM and non-consensual porn by plastering ads all over the page displaying the content and encouraging premium account registrations. Facebook isn't directly monetizing that content.

Of course I know Pornhub isn't doing this deliberately, but 1) they're not financially incentivized to take things down too aggressively (due to loss of ad revenue and premium registrations), 2) even if they were incentivized to do it, the problem is too big and too evasive to tackle with just blacklisting, manual reporting, and a small team of moderators. The only workable solution at this point is a whitelist, which sensibly seems to be the approach they're now taking.
Except when they don't.
Respectfully disagree.

> media literacy just isn't enough

How would we know? It's not really taught. As you pointed out later, it's not just "media literacy," it's "thinking for yourself," "critical thinking," "skepticism," "reasoning."

Very little of that is taught because the educational institutions who would be responsible for teaching it have curriculums that cannot withstand it.

Hand-waving to students that "u shuld do critical thinking" is not sufficient to actually teach critical thinking.

Also our educational institutions totally ignore the distribution of intelligence in the population. The curriculum is dumbed down to the lowest common denominator which does an incredible disservice to high (or even average) intelligence individuals.

> The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it.

This is true, to an extent. But, that's what journalism is supposed to solve. Instead of spending 1000 hours researching some issue as an individual, have 100 journalists spend 10 hours researching it and collaborate on the reporting. Sadly, we have very little actual journalism anymore, which I'll explain next..

> people who live on their lies usually have a much stronger incentive

This, I totally agree with.

Journalism has failed because it was bought out by corporate interests who have a vested interest in a particular narrative. If not through advertising, but by buying the media companies directly. Further, if you give a "journalist" a choice between working for 10 hours to tell the truth or working for 1 hour to tell a lie, getting paid the same amount either way, the outcome is obvious.

Moreover, declining educational standards, and especially lack of critical thinking skills, has led to a deadening of the public palette. The market is not incentivizing actual journalism because objectivity is hard, opposes too many special interests, and the public (at large) doesn't have a taste for it.

The only takeaway from this ought to be obvious. We can't rely on the institutions and corporations who created this problem to solve it. Clearly they're leading us to "thought police" and censorship. I think, however, the lights should be turned on and the public at large should get a crash course in critical thinking.

I honestly had to look it up, because I always thought "Jewish" referred to religion (and there still seems to be questions of whether it still can refer to race or not these days).

Regardless, looking at his picture, anyone could be forgiven for assuming he is "White".

>If you think it is, then why are you asking?

hartator answered this pretty well.

>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)?

Yes, active senators are in fact part of the government. The partisanship system does affect even active member's of the US government and this does seem to be a partisan issue driven solely by politics.

>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.

Then the other party should counter those arguments and wait for things to resolve as they will. This will happen whatever the average person believes. The election will be decided by the electoral college, or possibly the courts if any of those lawsuits end up having substance. People posting videos about anything won't change this.

>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.

The section 230 issue seems like a separate issue being spun as a response to this issue in ways that make no logical sense. But are being pushed as a response to actions like these. I don't support the repeal of this, but I do think this kind of obvious, government urged censorship is good either.

I didn't like when trump went on about fake news and I don't like when the other side of the government goes on about misinformation. I don't believe the government, either side, should be the arbiters of what is real news or real information.

When this happens, all the average person is left with is state sponsored propaganda.
Not trying to be rude but that is a very naive view on geopolitics. Look no further than NSA and who they spy on to see who to worry about (IE. everyone worry about everyone, like NSA spying on EU etc.).

The top bar only searches within recipe titles. So if a recipe title has those keywords, it will show up in the results. The best way to search for ingredients would be in the sidebar.

In this particular example, the issue is that the source dataset [1] has "lime leaves" in plural, so if you click on "show more" in the sidebar after searching for "lime", you should see it in the list.

Thank you. This is the first time I've seen my thoughts on this explained so clearly. This is something I felt was unfair but couldn't quite pare it down in a succinct argument like that.

It just feels so obvious. What leads someone as smart as Bezos to ignore this line of reasoning? Even if it turns out that it's not "illegal," I feel like deep down, people inside the company just know what they're doing is slimy, or at least, unfair.

Wouldn't it be in the best interest of Amazon to call itself a marketplace (or 'bazaar') to avoid future legislative action?

Small nitpick, whether or not something is propaganda has nothing to do with whether or not it's correct. These are completely orthogonal. "Loose lips sink ships" is basically true, and is also a textbook example of propaganda. Propaganda is media that intents to influence an audience to further an agenda.

I don't know what to say. Your post doesn't make sense. She didn't fly the plane into people by her own hands. She didn't order her pilot to murder people in a failed bid to take-off.

You reject the very concept of the religion you criticize. If you have a problem with magic soap labels then I can agree, I don't believe magic soap labes matter too. That's not what religion is.

I fail to see how attending a religious appointment is a crime. Did she skip out on handing out food? Did she miss her chance to pass out medicine? What concrete thing could she have done to save her people?

Your post is way over the line of sanity. Being angry that religion exists in the face of suffering isn't a valid criticism of theresa. Criticize the lack of solutions to the problem, by the people who were responsible. The rest is insane bleatings.
The current leader of American government has a position on election directly opposing the one of YouTube and threatens to defund the military unless section 230 which allows distance of user-generated content to legally exist is cancelled.
What are these "huge incentives" you speak of?

What states were swung by a small margin "administered by Republicans" (political parties don't administer elections).

Most of the arguments revolve around mainly 4 metro areas: Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta, and Philadelphia (with a little Pittsburgh thrown in). These 4 metro areas alone could decide the election via electoral math. It is cliche that these areas have had voter fraud. It's been going on for a century. People have been convicted for these crimes in these areas regularly. For people to act like _this election_, that kind of talk is unreasonable, well, I have some not nice words to say to those people.

Given the extraordinary circumstances, and the narrow margins of victories, people bringing up these facts is reasonable. Youtube allows holocaust denial, and I'm supposed to believe that people claiming inner city fraud (only when it's claimed in the U.S. btw) is "a threat to democracy".

Please.
Because the statistics are based on the nationality of company/agency that designs and builds the launch vehicle, not the launch site. So even though Soyuz launches from Kazakhstan and French Guiana, it is counted as a Russian launch since a Russian company (Energia) designed and built the rocket. Similarly, even though a lot of Electron launches are from New Zealand, the company that builds Electron is ultimately US-headquartered/US-controlled. (Rocket Lab was originally founded in New Zealand, but they moved their HQ and parent company to the US so are now considered a US company rather than a New Zealand one.)
I'm not arguing about picking stocks as an investment option. I'm arguing that the "common knowledge" that younger people should pick risker investments is because they have the years to survive short-term bear markets. They don't need conservative parts of their portfolio to protect against short-term recessions.

I just feel like I'm starting to see more people throw around the "I'm young so I can make riskier investments" excuse when they put all of their investment money into a select few long shot stocks, and still make out worse than any simple fund.
try that with a Vote Republican hat instead of a symbol of the man trying to pull a political slow coupe currently. MAGA is about Trump and his inhumanity and not necessarily party affiliation.

Some solution is a slippery slope... justifying censorship or some form of it due to “unique circumstances” is so dangerous because there will always be a unique circumstance. The internet was built on the idea that information should be open and ever since then we’ve been coming up with new ways to suppress that defining characteristic.

lol - everything you say is right and eloquently stated!

My over-simplified version would just say “precise communication of even moderately complex facts is incredibly hard”.

And that’s human to human communication, of which system to system communication is arguably just an implementation.

Arguably even communicating with ourselves over stretches of time is non-trivial as experienced by anyone who has ever found a paper note or maybe a comment in code by one’s younger self only to scratch our head and wonder “wtf did I mean by that?”
> Youtube is stating that many of those ideas are not allowed

Not really, no. People can post all the ideas they want, you just can't make claims without evidence to back them up. Personally, I'd love to see this extended.

Forget politics, we could extend this to obvious nonsense like homeopathy, creationism, holocaust denial or Nickelback fans.

> Big Tech needs to be regulated if they are going to be so blatantly political and partisan.

So your solution to politics and partisanship is regulation by partisan politicians?

I take your point, but they're not planning for a launch failure even if they're pretty sure that's what's going to happen.

There is evidence[1, 2, 3] of Russian interference in the 2016 election. There is evidence[4, 5, 6, 7] of interference by Republicans in the 2018 gubernatorial race in Georgia. That content will not be taken down because it is true.

There is no evidence[8] of fraud in the 2020 election. Trump's own lawyers have admitted[9, 10, 11] that there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
