Yes, but the point is that people do this all the time. The catholic church covers up cases of priests who rape children because they know that it’s going to make the whole church look bad.

I am pretty sure that the person who orders the cover-up finds the rapists despicable. But they still do it, because scandals “splash” and tarnish way more than the peeople involved...
Something like "But I'd suggest..." is a good example for using "'And' NOT Bbut'" [0] to avoid the connotation of contradiction implied when using 'but'. Very useful like in this case where the intention is amendment rather than contradiction.

The fuckers lost my family's donation in the archives (an early imperial college computer from the 1950s, possibly the fifth machine in the UK at the time) so I decidedly mixed emotions about this: yes, lovely to see these things. What about the ones they silently destroyed and didn't even try to engage with the doner.
Most of what you say is true. What's more, we all kind of know it - about ourselves, and about others. But the difference is, people thought that rationalism was possible and desirable, and now they think it isn't. (Isn't possible, at least, which renders moot the question of whether it would be desirable.)

We used to think that there were objectively right conclusions, and, if people were careful, they could be rational enough at least some of the time to reach those conclusions. And now we don't. We now think that all truth claims are only about power, and not at all about actual truth. There's no point in even trying to reach the truth, because it isn't there to reach. It doesn't exist.

And that's a radical difference from the previous mind-set, whether or not the rationality of individuals changed.
Just gonna add on to your athlete and weightlifting example: should take into account progressive overload when training, because overtraining is absolutely a thing and you'll end up spinning your wheels without recovery. I think the same idea applies with stress in purely mental situations too.
Sheep farming is pretty uneconomic in the UK, and sheep are destructive beasts so lynx reducing their numbers might be a good thing

Often these are machine learning models which are not explicitly programmed and do act on their own.

It could easily be a model that takes in features such as "has an admin banned this page" or "has an overwhelming number of users reported this page" and then based on that it identifies problematic keywords that it uses to ban pages.

And then it relies on humans to manually interject when the model fails as it sometimes will.

So rather than put a crappy camera in the phone, they expanded the volume to fit the camera. I wonder why that isn't something we see with laptops? You could have it bulge out of the back, or have some clever cutout below the trackpad and let it bulge out the front.
There is some key exchange, pregeneration, and signing smarts involved with the server for all new communications at the initial connection. The net result is either everyone on your contacts was faked or nobody was (or you get a message when only 1 is intercepted on conversation setup).

That being said it's possible for all of Bob's contacts to have been MITM but not all of Carol's so each person does have to check at least one conversation to be sure.
Yes, they are several orders of magnitude worse than gas stations. For an 110V AC outlet to fully charge any vehicle will take days. Anything less than a fast charging station will not meaningfully charge a vehicle when you are outside.

A L2 charger will not even make a dent in your range when you are out running errands (20-25 miles of range per hour of charging). They are generally only useful when they are at your workplace and can charge for hours at a time.

What do you consider sufficient evidence here? There were multiple documented posts on Parler that have been documented running up to the events on Jan 6'th that show people organizing and preparing for it. The evidence was present before the decision by AWS. I know folks who were collecting that events weeks before the event and predicting violence based on what they were seeing. The evidence for it is only increasing now but there more than sufficient evidence on the day of the event to indicate that Parler was going to be a liability to anyone hosting them.

Bias in this case works both ways. It makes some ignore the evidence that was already present. Businesses aren't courts that need to prove guilt. This was about getting rid of a high risk client who had made clear that they will not be changing their high risk behavior. There is no reason AWS needs to share in that risk after giving them the opportunity to change.
> The important point is not necessarily the mechanism, but rather the intent and a good-faith effective effort to keep things fair and underpinned by public-good policy objectives.

Regulatory bureaucracies, especially in the United States because of our political and legal norms, can't be expected to police intent and good-faith. Like many other dilemmas you have to squarely answer the question: is this particular policy on the whole preferable despite the negative consequences? In better times a secondary question might be: can we address the negative consequences by directly supplementing functional gaps with a government program? Though, our track record isn't that great in that regard, so our decisions, especially at the Federal level, should probably simply turn on the first question alone--taking as a given that the negative consequences won't be mitigated.

I really don't get the opposition to net neutrality. The negative consequences and market impact are minimal, especially considering that it's a relatively clear and simple rule; the type of rule that has a long political and legal history of application.

And the hypocrisy on the conservative side blows my mind since they began proposing the imposition of user content neutrality on social media platforms. Even if I agreed with that in principle, there's no way the benefit exceeds the negative consequences. Net neutrality, which can help foster the emergence of alternative platforms, is an obvious alternative as one of the easiest ways to mitigate the rise of monolithic walled gardens is to ensure cost equity at the infrastructure level.

I think repealing Section 230 should be on the table, too. That's a more fraught discussion, but abstractly it's similar to net neutrality in promoting an arms-length relationship between content creators and network infrastructure providers (to the extent content platforms can be considered infrastructure providers, which is the implicit assumption by those pissed at Twitter and Facebook for censoring "free speech"). I suspect repealing Section 230 would foster the re-emergence of open hosting platforms. Section 230 was never needed to make Usenet, BBSs, or online journalism viable; it was only necessary to make models like Twitter or, especially, Facebook scalable.
She was so perfect as Delenn, one of my favorite characters, in my all-time favorite show. Babylon-5 was a big part of my formative years and some of her best scenes and voice still rattle around in my mind. I am truly saddened by this news. The world has lost a great actress and soul, too soon.
To clarify, perhaps confusing language, I don't mean the claim must be complicated, it can be a simple claim.

In order to refute the claim though requires an appreciation for subtlety which the people doing the arguing don't often have. The refutation is complicated, the claim doesn't need to be.
As a less dramatic version of this, just go through and purge your friends list. Also aggressively block / hide / unfollow any "shared" things you come across.

For example, on Facebook you can hide something dumb someone shares, and then as part of that process, there is an option to "Hide everything shared from this page".

If you spend a half hour going through and doing that, suddenly your feed is much less spammy.
This is what always happens when I bring up product problems about EVs. Everyone on HN who owns a luxury car Tesla in SV or some major metro with their six figure plus salary gets all bent out of shape, and ask "omg why can't everyone do this!" It's tone deaf and out of touch.

EVs simply are not there yet. They're ludicrously expensive, inconvenient to refuel, don't offer utility like ICE trucks/SUVs, can't be charged effectively without huge infrastructure investment. I'm not saying we aren't making strides, I'm saying there are loads of improvements that need to come before EVs take over ICE sales to ultimately help us fight global problems.

EVs have never been about rich people having a toy. We need cheap EVs now to help us fight global climate change and frankly they aren't there yet. You need to make massive assumptions for the vast majority of Americans to make EVs work compared to ICE vehicles.
Perhaps I'm an idealist, but I see nothing broken about my understanding of statehood and it's more than an the existing distribution of power. If we're using the dictionary definition, a state is:

"a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government."

Which is exactly which each US State is. My home state, NC, is a territory which has a distinct culture and community, and it's own governing body. I'm a 10th generation North Carolinian, and I respect that fact that NC existed before I was born - and will continue existing after I'm dead. A state is more than the people who are currently residing in it or it's current power distribution - it's a long-standing culture, governing body and community of people that are inextricably tied to their own geography and their own decisions, past and future.

I don't care about preserving the current power structure for future generations - but you can bet I care about preserving NC's culture, environment, and state sovereignty for future generations. Those things are all bigger than any individual, and I certainly still believe they are worth fighting for. NC has the world's first public university and an amazing state university system in general. We have amazing food and BBQ culture, we have 3 different unique dialects of American English, we have our own tradition of folk music, we have our own religious traditions and our own way of going through our lives.

Also, FWIW - if you think Americans think of themselves as a single nation with minor variations - you really haven't spent enough time in the South.
If you join an early stage startup today, it will only be a matter of time until a developer comes in who builds a microservice for what would normally be a single function calling a third party api and then discovers that Kubernetes is necessary. Its almost impossible to stop this happening because business folk want microservices, or they might have heard microservices were going out of fashion but still want Kubernetes...which is only really necessary for microservices.

Devs like to have fun, learn new things, play with complicated things - that's all it is. It counteracts the dull features that most developers have to ship.

So, no, none of this was novel to me in 2015... you seem to be reading in the "en masse" part yourself. A substantial number of people believe in this War on Christmas stuff and do let it influence their behavior, including the 2015 cups. You seem to only be willing to accept that it's either just 1 person, or EVERYBODY.

I can show you more links if you want, but so far you're not even trying to consider the counter-evidence people have posted here... if you were actually curious, it's easy to Google. But - ironically, considering the claims of your original post - your mind seems made up.
> Yeah, every parking spot could be a simple charging station. All you need is a power cable.

...and the infrastructure to distribute the electricity.

Back of the napkin math with the mall of America: 5.6 million sq ft at ~14kWh/sq ft per year (rough average estimate of all retail buildings) [1] equates to about 78.4 million kWh/year or 784,000 100kWh Model S's charged to full or 7.84 million charged 10% assuming 100% efficiency. The Mall of America has about 40 million annual visitors so about a fifth would be able to charge their batteries 10% if the Mall doubled its (hypothetical) capacity, which would likely require at least some infrastructure upgrades since we're talking about ~10 MW of extra power - and that's averaged out 24/7/365, in actuality it'll be a much higher peak load since the mall isn't 24/7.

I'm not an expert but I doubt the property developer and power companies overbuilt by that much.

Yeah it is funny that Doc went with the Hover conversion in 2015 but must have cheaped out on the EV conversion (which would have been easily doable in our 2015), given parts of the plot in Part III.

I’m sorry, but this comment is a total goalpost mover, and complete BS.

The goalpost moving: the initial article is talking about porting a desktop client based program with a reasonable amount of views to the web. Now Facebook scale and quality UI isn’t good enough to demonstrate that React is a strong front end tool.

I also don’t see how the UI is particularly likely to cause issues to an insurance or banking company.

The BS: “most software of significant cost and size is serving a industry, not the industry itself”. This sounds smart but it has virtually no relationship to the main drivers of complexity behind the UIs in discussion, which is number of developers and number of pages. You cannot reasonably tell me Facebook doesn’t show React scales for UI engineering.
I disagree. This might be true for professional athletes but not for the average athlete. So I would not use that to conclude what the average person should do. Professional athletes are rare and to get into that position, they also have to be lucky.
I don't understand the argument here. It's not injurious to them to moderate content because they have §230. §230 isn't there to protect online publishers from the court of public opinion; that's impossible. It's there to protect them from libel lawsuits.

If §230 went away, and Facebook continued moderating, they would be liable if anyone posted defamatory content to Facebook -- something which surely happens on a constant basis.
Of course, and I agree that marketing traction matters. I should have said this is an idle hope that some of these fancier metrics get published/leaked about TSMC/Samsung/Intel processes rather than that they become the metric. I do think MT/mm^2 or whatever is a strong candidate to become the thing. "megatransistors" is an exciting word.

35 years? The original ARM1 was manufactured under contract by VLSI.
The left-right spectrum is, literally, about ideals - social, political, economic. It is not a scale of "good vs evil", despite what Calvinism has imposed on people's brains. If your stance is that leftism is evil, you are entirely free to say or think so, but it still does not change what the ideals of leftism are, and it still doesn't make trying to change the definitions of those ideals so that you can call yourself/others leftists (for what reason?) any less intellectually barren.

It doesn't make claiming that I'm making stuff up when I'm referring to actual, much-written-about schools of thought that have been critiqued and analysed by people all over the spectrum any less intellectually barren. Reading is free, and many of the works in question are in the public domain.

> and wash you hands with the actual, real life examples of how your "ideals" turned out in real life.

As if you don't?

All your boogeymen (boogeymen that I'm willing to wager have never actually had an effect on your life) are communists. All _my_ boogeymen are capitalists, to this very moment: the UK, France, the Western world in general, first with literal colonisation and currently with a decades-long trail of neocolonialism and outsourcing the cruelty and inequity needed to sustain their economic systems to the parts of the world nobody really cares about. It's incredibly telling which of the atrocities of the 20th century get dragged out all the time and which get swept under the rug.

> When talking about this stuff, the only actual thing that I will except is real life examples of your ideal government. Because, if I don't do that, then leftists will just make a bunch of stuff up, that is not grounded in reality.

You know the funny thing about this? My proto-ideal society (cannot really be described or named as a government, because it was acephalous communalism) did exist, and fragments of it still remain. But then the British came.

And that's essentially the story of the late 19th and the 20th century - nascent right-wing politics and economics running roughshod over nascent leftism, particularly violently so. First with a new wave of colonisation in Africa and Asia to fuel the growth of imperialist capitalism, squashing and integrating various societies that traditionally leant left along the way. And a few decades later with the fascism that swept Western Europe (the quote that free speech advocates like to bring up does not start out with "first they came for the socialists/trade unionists" apropos of nothing). The leftist movements that survived were the ones that were big enough and violent enough to resist destruction, and like I have already said without strong systems such movements were doomed to turn totalitarian. Much like right-wing economics was doomed to turn into this current mess of cronyism, de facto oligarchy, and murder for profit.

But, again, understanding that would require engaging in good faith and recognising that there are multiple factors that influence this topic, which you seem somewhat loath to do.
Steam only requires the Steam Wallet for microtransactions. Games and DLC are usually bought "directly". Refunds go to the original payment method, unless you explicitly request that it should go to the wallet.

Google Play doesn't have one either, FWIW.
It's not just resolution though. By every other measure of quality, webcams are mediocre. In the article, even before expanding the video test of the 4 different webcams, it's easy to see how poor some of them are in various ways.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. The rioters should stick to non-seditious activities like burning down police stations and declaring autonomous zones in the middle of major cities.
> Threats in public are designed to make you feel fear. Even if you know that the threat is empty, it's difficult to just put it out of your mind.

Regardless of the intentions of the one making the threat, if the threatened person knew with 100% certainty there was no real danger, then they would not feel fear. For example, if we receive an anonymous threat and then we learn that the person who made it was a 3rd grader on another continent. If we feel fear after receiving some seemingly empty threat, then it's because at least subconsciously we believe there is now some non-zero chance of facing danger.

My point was that it's not hypocritical for him to be upset about receiving online threats. It's the fact that people are making threats that's scary, not whether or not moderators are removing them.
I think the other side of the coin is also interesting: If we're smart, could we use EVs to make the grid more resilient? Could we be thinking of EVs both as transportation and as flexible and hyperlocal power storage. E.g. parked EVs could reverse-meter if there's very high power demand, and absorb cheap (or negative cost) power when it's really windy in Texas, etc.
If a country relies only on oil and gas for electricity, are EVs any better than petrol-powered cars as far as emissions go?
Lynx are native to Scotland. They're simply being reintroduced.
If people don't stop with the wishful dreaming of how 'renewables' are the future, it's hard to image the grid supporting massive adoption of anything of non-trivial load.
Yeah, what I was trying to say is individual suppliers will drop out of the market as the price of oil drops. That in turn reduces the supply. For Oil Sands, that's roughly $43. Shale oil is similar. Every time the price drops, the number of suppliers drop.

OPEC will fight to keep oil prices up by limiting supply when they can, since most of the governments in the Middle East are run on oil profits, they need to!

For the bulges you have to consider that most people use phone cases, which gives the designers a bit more room.

On laptops you can either create a bump on the backside of the lid, which looks weird as the use of it is not obvious, or you can extend the camera in the front and create a dent in the bottom shell, which also has no clear use and seems out of place. Either way, it will look and feel weird.

On phones it at least highlights the powerful camera and most users are not bothered by it as it extends into the phone case.
A Chef's Revolutionary Quest to Harvest Rice from the Sea
Materials aging in space is a pretty deep subject. That it is the Russian Zvevda module that is leaking/cracking is likely related to the fact that it is also the oldest module in the ISS.

The ISS is/was scheduled to be retired in 2024 (aka 3 years from now) but there are calls to keep it going. My fantasy would be to have SpaceX move it into the Lunar L1 Lagrange point which would keep it in use but it would have to deal with more cosmic rays, also station keeping would be an issue unless we could really get energized tether station keeping to work (lots of solar energy to provide power, but not a lot of mass to provide thrust, so tethers are energized conductors that push against the Earth's magnetic field)

Parking it in L4 or L5 could keep it for future generations but it would be even more of a challenge to go visit.
