There are many sane alternatives. I was speaking of the specific alternative pushed during the 20-teens starting with the Gamergate era and proceeding all the way up through MAGA, the alt-right, and Qanon, and with which Assange was clearly either allied or serving as a useful idiot. That alternative is significantly worse than the orthodoxy.

BTW authoritarian Marxism is not a sane alternative either. I see people pushing that too, but they never got close to real political power.
Yeah, the UK isn’t really Europe...
Far from alternatives, more like bedfellows or twins. The specious labels belie the hard reality that the US political, bureaucratic, and secret police apparatus is powerful, extensive, and weaponized.

The latest episode of the Megyn Kelly Show interviews Lue Elizondo, who headed the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification program.[0]

According to the article, the report will say:

"...the assessment has come up short of explaining what UAP are and that it provides no evidence to link them with any putative alien visitation—despite reviewing more than 120 incidents from the past 20 years. The report’s firmest conclusion, it seems, is that the vast majority of UAP happenings and their surprising maneuvers are not caused by any U.S. advanced technology programs."

So what are they? I see skeptics saying these are radar errors etc., but the report apparently doesn't conclude that. I'd love to see a technical analysis of what's been recorded.

In the tic-tac incident, yes. In the 60 minutes interview two pilots in separate planes reported seeing something causing a disturbance in the ocean, and a "tic-tac" like object about the size of their jets that seemed to notice them and matched one of the planes in a turn.
(Fair question. I just found it amusing. I'm annoyed it got voted to the top. For substantive discussion, people should look down page)
Maybe because pizzagate actually was really disturbing. You can get your life ruined over making an OK sign, because it's a "dogwhistle", but powerful people making references to pedophilia and satanic rituals is just fine and dandy, nothing to see here? Do you actually know what pizzagate is beyond that one shooting? I don't know if there is any "conspiracy", but some of those people are actually really messed up.
As many have said, don't treat them as side projects. They were apps or products you were working on - if they were at all "real" (e.g., had users or customers) than it was a startup you were trying to get off the ground (a lot of startups are bootstrapped that way).

I've done a lot of this in the past - I built a platform and apps for consumer-focused location aware in the early 2000's, and another app that ended up with around 12 million users.

When I interviewed at Microsoft Research, we barely talked about my "day job" (fairly straightforward C#/.NET enterprise stuff). They ended up focusing on the side stuff - because it was just me doing the design/architecture/coding/company, it was innovative, it was interesting - and I was super passionate about it.
Correct me, then.
I don't see why not. Rail links between principal cities are a very good approximation of "average infrastructure" in urban societies. You can go from Casablanca to Tangier in 2h10m. NY to Boston or Washington takes longer. The much shorter trip from Sacramento to San Jose, California, takes twice as long.
The assertion that there is intelligent life elsewhere is often conflated with UFOs being evidence of such life.

The assertion of a high probability of intelligent life existing elsewhere is reasonable.

The presence of testimony is not evidence. People report things for many reasons. Most of the time, it is a silly bid for a moment of fame and/or it just sells news/gathers clicks in an untrustworthy economy on a slow day.

One day, we ourselves may advance our own intelligence sufficiently to achieve civilisation.
It was 'debunked' because it didn't amount to a theory at the time.

It isn't so much that it is not applied as that the pressure to generate data inside academic science makes it extremely difficult for grad students and postdocs to allocate the time to doing science on their experimental processes. They already only barely have time to do experiments on the system they are actually trying to study!

Engineering organizations inside major corporations usually actively engage in process improvement because they are resourced to do so.

Is this true? Even if you’re not exposed to those sources you’re exposed to DDG instead, so are you saying they have somehow more moral grounds to stand on when it comes to not sharing user data with others given that they see no problem with taking Google data and semi-packaging it as their own in the first place?

It is hard to read this as a positive thing. You are basically describing a con-man (or more neutrally, a politician) who is skilled at convincing people of things through stories that are not factually accurate but feel accurate - "Truthiness" as Jon Stewart called it.

At best, it is a shortcut to convince groups of people of a point but it is the opposite of informative - people come away with bad information, not partial information and curiosity to learn more.

He is specifically disliked because he is selling the "take-aways" as knowledge when they are the opposite, then says he is just a storyteller - which is good and fine except he is marketed and digested as a layman's source of truth. Which is why we have people walking around thinking they can be a concert-grade pianist with 10,000 hours of practice even though the argument falls apart with the slightest analysis.

If Hacker News caters to curious "hacker mindset" types I think Gladwell is the opposite of curiosity: insights without discussion or understanding.
Little finger's demise was not due to being overpowered. He lost the information war he was waging. His opponent who thought of him an ally eventually did read through his manipulations, re established the truth with the aid of the man with the greatest information seeking powers, who can even navigate to the past to reveal certain well kept secrets. Baelish died because outraced on the information front. The power cutting his throat was a strong teenager, but one who could do so because nobody remained on his side after the unveiling of the shocking truth to those present in the scene.It’s all information. Just saying.

At some restaurants you’d be worse off but those tips add up. Presuming you get 15% all you’d need to do is $100 served in an hour to catch up. Obviously there are fast and slow times but at a reasonably busy place you’re probably coming out ahead. Not to mention servers collect most of that tax free when they shouldn’t.

I heard a report on NPR a few weeks ago where they were lamenting how much servers make and we’re basing their data on reported income to the IRS. Hah.
Most of history is a story written by the victors and what has survived. Unless there is primary evidence and even then most of that contains interpretation.

This is a very important point.

The issue with social media is it is essentially unsolicited. With TV, you tune to "The Discovery Channel", and if you dont like it, you tune to another.

With social media you are invited to react to things as-if they were for you. This is the origin of, i'd say, 90% of the instigating none-sense that causes trouble.

Social media arguments are often just between not-the-audience and the-audience talking past each other. With the former basically saying, "i dont understand this, and its wasting my time"; and the latter saying, "i understand this and its really important".
This is great. I hope this spurs Google to make their VPN (https://one.google.com/about/vpn) more widely available. A few audiences they could expand it to: any ChromeOS device, any Pixel phone, any Android phone, any mobile Chrome user, any Chrome user.

The other difference is that loaning out to unconnected parties /= selling the tokens and keeping the uncollateralized bit as profit. Banks with outstanding loans might have issues with the timing of repayments, they might more rarely make so many bad loans that their expected future income is less than they loaned out, but they haven't simply pocketed the money depositors paid in.

My biggest fear when I got into writing apps was about security, especially if money and/or privacy were involved. I really, really didn't want to become a headline. Or read HN comments like "Didn't they know you have to install FlutherBlort? That's the first thing anybody knows. They're so stupid." I see those comments every time there's a break-in.

It's easy to make LeMay look more evil than he was. Once you've got the villain you need a hero if you want to tell a good story.

We're talking an author someone who does a layman level history podcast here. You can't expect him to fight over facts like a lawyer. That's just not what you do when you produce that kind of content. He's gonna find a bunch of facts, point the ones he likes in the direction of the point he wants to make and then turn them loose. And if the result is a good story he's gonna sell a whole bunch of books to the kinds of people who listen to his podcast.

It's a shame that making a mess out of history is a good business model but the fact of the matter is that it is.

Even if you assume that Assange just released all information that was available to him, I still think it's hard to argue he's completely blameless. It seems naive to think that you wouldn't be made a tool of propagandists, even if you didn't endeavor to be a propagandist yourself.
I think you are missing the point of these high protein diet fads. It's structured to replace conventional highly processed carb diets with something appealing/tasty and ultimately filling. It's a ween off the bad habit diets prevalent in much our modern culture. And allows you to do so at traditional restaurants, you can maintain your social groups and rituals. On the other hand going vegan is not easy to do, its hard to take an average American single persons home cooking knowledge to the point where they can cook filling (and tasty) plant based meals. (Unless you have some ethnic food knowledge that your family gave you.

Its the low bar of picking up a rotisserie chicken vs cooking from home that drives the "obsession". In the end its much better than starting off with a bowl of cereal, getting a fast casual lunch at chipotle, and eating steak and white potatoes for dinner.

Interestingly, certain areas will have more access to good tasting vegan meals. In those areas, there is enough economic demand for these foods that the groceries, the cafes, the restaurants all give people easy onramps into integrating plant based foods into their diets.

What is a “hard science”?

The only distinction I care about is exactness and non-exactness.

Is the research based upon formulating a theory that is capable of forecassting not-yet observed events a nonexistent, exact margin or error, and are the conditions then re-created to see if the forecast is within the margin of error that the instruments that measure it have?

Some say biology is “hard”, and some say it is “soft”; some say many parts of cosmology are “hard” but they certainly aren't “exact”.

In exact science there are typically multiple ways to derive the same answer within one theory, and they all result into the exact same result.

I love this idea. I always like to see side projects (even in place of a "real job") and this seems like the perfect way to integrate it with a resume. Funny, humble, and probably a pretty honest job title for a lot of developers with actual side projects to show off.
this is the point. they do not stress in beginning calculus that continuity is actually a profound property of a mathematical construction (the reals) that we use for modeling physical phenomena.

it's not the delta-epsilon definition that is slightly weird, it's what it means to be truly continuous that is. (uncountable infinity, or as i like to call it, endless zooming everywhere)

once that is clear, the delta-epsilon definition becomes obvious and clear.
Assange has been using Wikileaks as human shields against his own terrible behavior for years. If they're collateral damage, then they're only that way because he made it that way.

That's true. Although it's worth mentioning that "mediums" is also accepted as a plural of "medium" in English, but not when it's used for communication media.
If you know that Assange's persecution is wrong, and you excuse it away, you are the problem.

Exactly. Machine guns invalidated cavalry charges, but we ended up in a trench war just trying to create a break in the trenches long enough to get the cavalry through. Tanks invalidated trench warfare, but the French built an impregnable defensive line along the border that would make them invincible in the next trench war.

How is theology not knowledge about the world? Religion is the original form of moral philosophy and sociology, and contains thousands of years of experiential learning about how to lead a positive individual life within a society that enables said individuals. That's much more important to be informed about than botany.

Having said that, skill-oriented communities would be great too - they primarily exist online right now because participants are often spread out, or otherwise take the form of friend groups based on shared interest.
Not sure why you said correct, as it's both. A big part of private relay -- I would say the most significant part -- is to allow people to talk to websites without giving up their personal IP (and from that pretty tight geolocation, and with fingerprinting a correlation with loads of other data they collect). Apple makes a big deal about it being about maintaining privacy, not just against snooping of traffic -- which is unlikely -- but against fingerprinting and targeting from the services and sites you connect to.

And to answer the original guy, no Apple does not add any headers or details to tell the destination what your IP address is. They just see that they're talking to an exit node somewhere approximal of your general region.
> some vile sexual habits

If you're referring to the allegations made against Assange and investigated by the Swedish prosecutor's office that forced him to remain confined in the embassy in the UK, then those were dropped, and the UN special investigator who looked at Assange's case found that the whole investigation was conducted in bad faith:

https://www.exberliner.com/features/julian-assange-trial-202...

> But that’s exactly the point. I don’t know whether Julian Assange committed sexual assault or not, but what I do know is that Sweden never cared to find out. They wanted to use these allegations to discredit him. And once they had actively spread these allegations into every corner of the world, they then made sure that there would never be a proper trial because, as the prosecutor finally admitted in November 2019, they never had sufficient evidence to even press charges against Julian Assange.
It's your right to be pissy. Let's drop the "global" then.

The part where it was obvious then that picking a fight with England over taxes is not going to secure you a better economic outcome than either paying the taxes and grumbling or finding a new way to dodge them. If picking a war with a superpower makes you rich the Taliban should be rolling in the dough.

They wanted to give England the bird. The taxes were just the flimsy pretense. Pretty much all of them paid for it in opportunity cost at a bare minimum.

>Firstly: I don’t see punishment as separate from deterrence.

I think the simplest way to see the difference between punishment and deterrence is in nature.

We learn not to touch a hot stove by getting our hand burnt. It's usually not very painful, but because it happens immediately and every single time we quickly figure out that touching a hot anything is a bad idea. This creates deterrence without a heavy punishment.

Sometimes a heavy punishment can also cause deference by itself though. Eg messing around with mains electricity. You probably won't get shocked if you're careful, but if you do then the damage can be very severe.
The Bank of England couldn't keep their peg, so what's the gold standard for a dependable cross-asset peg then?

DAI has been tremendously successful over multiple years and multiple bear markets and ETH price crashes; it can only do so much of course. If ETH goes to zero tomorrow, DAI holders will not be able to recoup, sure.

In fact, the real problem with DAI is that demand often exceeds supply, the latter being limited by people who want to go long ETH, so they keep having to fight DAI breaking the peg in the other direction. To solve this, they onboarded other collateral types, including the USDC stablecoin, which now unfortunately accounts for >50% of DAI collateral.
