> During his guilty plea hearing, Demuro admitted that while serving as an elected municipal Judge of Elections, he accepted bribes in the form of money and other things of value in exchange for adding ballots to increase the vote totals for certain candidates on the voting machines in his jurisdiction and for certifying tallies of all the ballots, including the fraudulent ballots. [1]

This was 6 months ago. That's election fraud. Investigations don't start with proof, they start with claims. These areas have in large part said that even trying to discover evidence is moot, and that no investigation has standing.

Worse, YouTube is saying that even claims for investigation are invalid. Or that claims of voter fraud past a deadline are somehow off limits, when essentially the _entire_ left wing of the Democratic party has been making claims like these for 4 years.

The more factual parts are genuinely dangerous if not for the late date it was published.

The more speculative aspects like the authors' judgement of Roger Hollis is genuinely really weird. We will probably never know the truth, but if he wasn't a spy there are some genuinely abnormal correlations to be explained. If you're familiar with the case the Australian intelligence analyst Paul Monk gives a fairly strong case that even if the official story on Hollis isn't wrong, it is wildly inconsistent and economical with the truth.

Wright is a bit of a loose cannon, but the late Chapman Pincher wrote an enormous book on effectively everything publicly known about the (at the age of about 100 no less) which is much more methodical.

There was a IWP panel about the case a few years ago; some evidence is so murky that some analysts were, even with a fastidiously planned and documented "argument map" to summarize the known evidence, joking about resorting to sending a freedom of information request to the GRU.
"Nearly lands" means crash anyway so any implication of the latter is still there.
It's completely different.

Antidepressants don't provide immediate relief. In fact, one of the major challenges with antidepressants is that they require time to work, some times as much as a month or more for full effect. They also don't directly induce "good" feelings, rather they work to dampen negative feedback loops and give the patient space to sort out their problems.

Another challenge with antidepressant treatment is that patients frequently fail to associate their improvements with the medication. It's very common for patients to discontinue their medication because they think they don't need it any more, only to discover that the medication was part of their recovery all along.

MDMA treatment, on the other hand, is solely about immediate effects. The patient feels the effects very quickly and there is no question about where those good feelings came from. The trap is that those drug-induced feelings are entirely unsustainable. MDMA is even notorious for extreme rebound effects, known as "suicide Tuesday". People who attempt to use MDMA frequently will quickly succumb to tolerance and dependence, becoming mentally far worse than when they started. The only reason it's being considered for therapy is that they're using lower doses relative to what most recreational users use, and the administration is limited to two therapy sessions under strict control. Users go into this with the expectation that they must use the drug as a tool to help their therapy work, not that they can use the drug as a go-to to fix their problems.

YouTube is a specific company and they run an engine for recommending videos to people. YouTube doesn't prevent people from finding other hosting for their own videos and linking people to those videos. Do people have any more right to YouTube's megaphone than they do to any specific newspaper or TV channel's reach?

I despise people pushing anti-vaccination misinformation. Would it be good for us to fight for their right to have their message to be uncritically broadcast on say NBC? I might care if the government made a law that was ambiguously too broad that happened to make it so antivaxers couldn't possibly be broadcast on TV at all, and it was clear that antivaxers winning that fight against that overly-broad law would open things up for other groups I thought the law was too strict against, but if it's just the case that every TV station decided of their own will and probably specific reasons to not broadcast them, then even if I thought all the TV stations were generally too strict, I'd pick something I actually liked that they were being too strict against to support to convince the stations to change their opinions.

Importantly, it may be neurotoxic for heavy users, though. It's actually probably by far the most neurotoxic drug that's commonly used recreationally. (Believed to be due in part to the acute serotonin release, and reactive oxygen species, and risk of overheating.)

This is not at all to scaremonger - just to encourage people to always research things very carefully before they consume them. https://rollsafe.org/how-to-take-mdma/ is an excellent resource.

I've used it, had a great time, not much comedown, and would probably use it again, but I was cautious to follow all of the advice on https://rollsafe.org/how-to-take-mdma/ If you're popping moderate or large doses every few days as if it were Adderall, you're potentially risking the chance of long-term or permanent brain damage.
This sounds sensible and I agree with it. When we circle back to

> Property rights and other natural rights cannot be infringed upon for any reason

I am not squaring the circle. If we don't allow someone to build a nuke with materials they purchased, we are infringing on their property rights. If we say you can build a nuke only for mining a mountain we are infringing on their property rights. Which in my mind is a good thing. Property rights are not absolute, we just are just arguing about where to set that line. But as long as we decide to not let individual's own nukes I am fine with pretending property rights are absolute.

I'm not sure I really understand.

The research is obviously the most important thing at this point. Without validation it's all just conjecture.

I know I'll need solid evidence to back up the idea, but I've reached the end of my ability to evaluate the concept. I can't find a fatal flaw, and that's why I keep trying.

I'm really looking for an answer either way. I need help to prove it will work, or to show it's a dead end.

While it's in limbo I can't, in good conscience, drop it.

Do you really think having a patent and an LLC to organize under are fatal flaws?

This false equivalency is a common trap for people who end up with chemical dependencies. Just because people can get addicted to less addictive substances doesn't mean that we can ignore the fact that some substances are more addictive than others.
> Texas and 17 other states...that's not ok to talk about on YouTube?

Firstly, this is a false equivalence. The kind of videos I am talking about are not ones discussing some frivolous lawsuit, they are the ones by wild-eyed zealots ranting about the Constitution that end up hatching plots to kidnap the Governor of their State [1]. The sort of videos that lead to people shooting up a pizza parlor because they believe it's the center of a Satanic organization [2].

But leaving that aside for a moment, restricting what's okay to talk about on YouTube is, by definition, YouTube's problem. They can restrict videos uploaded on the platform to be exclusively people wearing pink furry suits if they want.

Senators can ask YouTube to try and stop running videos peddling conspiracy theories on their platform, because they believe YouTube (despite the large number of complaints about them) is generally speaking, a responsible and fairminded platform; and they expect that YouTube is broadly trying to do the right thing – not be political, but also crack down on unreasonable crackpot theories being peddled on its platform.

Asking this of a less fair-minded source (say the vidoes on a Stormfront website) would be pointless, which is why the Senators don't do so. You will notice that the Senators aren't asking the creators of Gab to crack down on crackpot theories on their platform either.

> Out of 1000 people taking a test that needed two signatures, that matched. Only 2-6 did not not match. Thats an extremely low number.

No that's not what it means. It means 2-6 were rejected.

"Signature matching" is a junk process and should be ignored.

In the AZ random sampling that the Judge asked for, 6/100 signatures were inconclusive, and this was on verified voters.

You control the voting envelopes and ballot papers which is actually how fraud is controlled in the US too. The signature verification thing is nothing but ineffective security theatre.
This scenario has played out before, with Faster, Better, Cheaper from the 90s, and kind-of/loosely with STS.

> Missions marked with an asterisk were considered failures (5 spacecraft failed in space; 1 project was canceled), putting the overall FBC success rate at a paltry 63%. This low success rate—and the fact that 4 of them occurred in one year, 1999—are what linger in the space community’s memory.

> For example, an examination of the timeline reveals an often-missed observation: the first 9 of 10 missions were successful, a 90% success rate. The FBC approach broke when proposed missions began getting more ambitious without a change in schedule and cost cap. The early successes made everyone overconfident and the missions became too aggressive for their constraints, leading to failures (Launius and McCurdy 2005):

Pathfinder and Sojourner demonstrated new technologies and were done on a budget smaller than one of Viking's experiments. The failures soured the public memory, lead to congressional hearings, and funding cuts.

Relying on the order of keys in an object seems like a bad idea.

Here is the full letter https://www.menendez.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/YouTube%20Lett...

The use of the word "urge", instead of "request" or "demand", seems to imply that Google is within its rights to decide. The letter does not threaten any legal action if Google decides not to remove alleged misinformation. It does not allege that Google has broken any law. What the letter does request are answers to questions. It looks like a standard letter requesting information that we commonly see from US Senators to US tech companies.

It’s pretty damn hard to copy something that you never get to see. China can clone tech because they force companies that build products in China to essentially give away their IP. Can’t do that if the rocket is built exclusively in Hawthorne, CA and Boca China, TX with no outside contractors. They’re decades behind even the Europeans and Japanese. Chang’e5 is cool and all but Europe and Japan landed their spacecraft this year and last year on ASTEROIDS which is actually pushing the boundaries of space accomplishments and science. Hyabusa2 flew literally billions of miles (5.4bn to be exact)[0] during its mission to collect and return asteroid samples. The Chinese mission was a repeat of the 50’s just to say that they did it too. They’re not leapfrogging ANYONE, at least not until they do something novel.

Futures markets work for commodities where what you get from one seller is essentially interchangeable with what you get from another seller.

There are futures markets for livestock, but that's not going to cut it for the high-end restaurant market that this example comes from--the restaurants this story is about are internationally famous and will have exacting food quality standards that are hard or impossible to meet from a futures market. The suppliers they work with are in turn focused on supplying high-quality meat and produce that isn't really interchangeable enough for a futures market.

Farmers who grow commodity crops (corn, soybeans, etc.) or commodity livestock often do use futures markets in the way you describe, or work with financiers who essentially do it on their behalf.
Two algorithms that are both O(n) can be wildly different in execution times.

More, an O(n) algorithm can be more "efficient" than an O(lg(n)) one, for some values of n. (Or just in another facet. Maybe you actually do care about space.)
When I say "I want to see the recipes without avocados" it's kind of like when you witness a car crash. You're not looking because you want to see someone crash, you're looking because it's horrifying. Same with avocado-less guacamole. The concept is horrifying so I need to know.

And yes, I would absolutely love to see the recipes for orange juice that don't include any oranges for the same reason.

Either way though, I think it's just because `avocado` and `avocados` are counted as different ingredients.

The F9 water landing attempts were just because it was so far downrange though right? Not because a water landing would have been somehow better for the vehicle?
> there's no reason to believe that that process leads to the best ideas coming to the top.

I disagree, the reason is because when people have access to multiple ideas they can choose what ideas are best for themselves and other people can judge the outcome based on both the ideas and their effects on people.

> So that can't and shouldn't be cited as a reason not to be concerned over the spread of misinformation.

Without free and open exchange of ideas its not nearly as easy to even tell what is misinformation.
That's the problem here. I'm guessing you think you are too analytical to succumb to such tactics. But you aren't. None of us are. We are all human.

Contracts have negotiated terms. You can't redline an EULA.
You seem rather confident of that. Engaging bad ideas gives them volume, legitimacy, momentum. Sidelining them is a powerful response.
It really didn't though. I'm not aware of any vehicle that does the belly flop flip to vertical landing maneuver, or has even attempted it.
The rough gist of the argument is that only legislatures are empowered to choose the method of selection of electors, and therefore governors (like Texas's governor) or courts (as in North Carolina) that order changes to election procedure render the entire count of the election invalid.

(You'll note that the examples I cite are not states that Texas is suing, and that should give you some indication of the likelihood of success.)

[Side note: that's one of the arguments. The actual brief is kind of a legally incoherent mess, so it kind of hops around from argument to argument a bit; the other main argument, which most of the amici seem to want to focus on, is that PA's Supreme Court improperly adjudicated PA law's propriety under the PA Constitution, and therefore Texas has right to settle that dispute in front of SCOTUS, despite SCOTUS dismissing an appeal alleging exactly that just yesterday.]
Unfortunate. The web was a better place with Flash around.

I agree. The point is it's a complex topic and therapists should exceed caution.

>Also, the same argument you use against intervention with MDMA therapy could be used against any intervention of any kind.

Kind of. Without MDMA, normal couples therapy would have have taken time, and during that time the therapist would have had to identify the challenges creating problems for that relationship and then addressed them, improving the relationship and healing the psychological problems within the individuals of that relationship. The therapist would have identified abuse and addressed that too. With MDMA in a couple of hours the relationship can be mended with no oversight or addressing issues that can become pervasive.
Look at the comments you are responding to. He twisted the argument far away from my one-line statement. You succumbed to a classic tactic of racists.

5 years ago they changed their reporting segments and buried Windows in with devices because they knew which way it was heading

Low-margin high-volume sales of Xbox and Surface etc. really distort that segment to the point where it's almost useless to attempt to derive what Windows is worth anymore

This reflects Satyas move and shifts away from Balmers attempts to claw onto Windows as a profit center
They probably care if someone does it large scale, but for individuals it seems fairly clear that they'd prefer people running a current Windows they didn't pay for over them sticking with an outdated version or switching elsewhere.
I'm almost completely sure application scalability is at the bottom of list. How do you offer 1 day shipping and have lowest price?

My second initial gut reaction says you could add a point to the graph at the local minima of a non-convex curve and use it as a way to generate additional candidate, but not require the solver to eliminate it? Could probably smoosh an extra rule inn there somehow to eliminate pieces on that particular piece, but it wouldn't generalize to all non convex curves.
