Unfortunately?

This is exactly why living in the default media bubble is such a problem. The COVID lab leak coverup was the normal state of affairs. It wasn't an outlier.

We saw all last year as the media stood in front of looting, rioting, and burning buildings and told us that the protests were "mostly peaceful". We heard that the police are "systemically racist" and practically hunting black people in the streets, but if you looked at the police interactions statistics, you saw that it just wasn't true.

We were told by the media last year that Hydroxychloroquine was a dangerous drug... simply because Trump suggested it might be a good treatment for COVID. Social media companies are still banning people for touting it: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9671029/Hydroxychlo...

The current normal is for most of the media to lie and push Democrat political narratives. Yeah, yeah, Fox News is a real counterbalance when they aren't even a tenth of the audience of ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, and PBS. There's no social media narrative bubble to speak of. It's all Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and on and on.
don't give it up, is the simple answer.
To be clear, I do not live in that neighbourhood and I don't really mind the America-as-moderate-theocracy system in place. You won't see me whining about the Christian median parking. I have a motorcycle. SF's traffic doesn't bother me and the numerous curb cuts advantage me (cars can't park, but I can).

However, the fact that this stuff happens repeatedly for Christian institutions and rarely (almost never, in fact) for others is not something that escapes me. The state does privilege Christianity. That makes sense since America is a Christian nation.
Thank you.

I have a friend I haven't seen since high school, though I'm connected with him on Facebook. He will outright tell you himself that he's a communist—familiar with the writings of Marx, etc. We could not be more diametrically opposed. However, he's as clear-eyed as you seem to be.

I suspect that most people simply aren't all that intellectually curious. I don't remember if Haidt explicitly mentioned this, but I think somewhere either he or someone commenting on his study asserted that it is much easier to pick up the party line of liberals through osmosis, since those in education, the media, and so forth tend to be liberal. So, even conservatives are more readily exposed to the liberal take on things. Liberals on the other hand are not.

But the point I'm making by mentioning my friend and thanking you is that I suspect that people who are intellectually curious are more or less inoculated against mischaracterizing the side they disagree with, since they don't learn almost exclusively through osmosis.

I appreciate your contribution to this thread.
>Anyway yeah, I'm a centrist and it's not because I'm trying to be neutral, it's because both sides are terrifying cesspools

You aren't being neutral. Your position is a very strong affirmative for the current status quo. You don't want anyone to be able to enact change.

That's an understandable position, but it isn't neutrality. Especially not if the status quo is actively negative for certain people.

As an aside, this portion of your statement:

>It's saying: not only is it not okay to disagree with me and be on the other side, it's also not okay to not passionately agree with my exact side.

Feels like a strawman. The existence of critique isn't a censure. It's just how rational analysis works. You find ideas and you work through them.

If your goal is to never be critiqued because you can't stand to be wrong, and that's why you've adopted a 'centrist' standpoint to get above it all that's a very political position to adopt.
That's the point of packaging it... you review it at the time that you package it, and then you review it each time you update it in the future. Should always do a simple diff at minimum to see what changed. That's just part of being a responsible open source user.
> cultures of that place

Aside from sensitivity around the (technically correct but the status quo should always be open to question) term "British Isles", even accepting that term geographically, conflating the islands culturally demonstrates a certain level of ignorance on the subject.

When I was living in Canada, I managed to get myself to caucuses of Christy Clarke though I wasn't even a citizen. Still have few photos of me in a $20 Chinese suit feeling very odd in the setting of the Vancouver club.

It's amazing how much scoop you can get on both the establishment, and the opposition from first hands.

Just ask, politicians are talkative types. You are blessed with living in a country where you don't end on the bottom of a lake for asking politician a wrong question.
I got the "the civil war wasn't about slavery" line fed to me in school. Reconstruction was a bad thing, too, and it was good when the North stopped meddling. So where's the most outrageous falsehood here? The "nothing to do with" bit? That's not the exact version I got, but the gist was: "the Civil War was about states rights, it's just a coincidence that the right in question was the right to have slaves, but the South wasn't morally in the wrong because states rights are actually that important."
I suspect most (if not all) KYC regulations require you to keep the evidence you used to verify the identity - even landlords in the UK are required to keep the evidence they saw of your right to live in the UK, let alone any institution that actually needs to prevent fraud etc. I suspect it's just a basic requirement of selling such a service to most medium-large businesses.

Political divides are pretty demographic in most places (in particular, urban vs rural is a big one). It does seem particularly extreme in the US, but that may be partially down to the two party system, which encourages tribalism.

In Ireland, say, there's a pretty sharp divide on the issues (Dublin was Yes+50 in the same-sex marriage referendum, most rural constituencies were more like Yes+5-10; similar though not quite as extreme split on the abortion referendum), but there isn't even remotely as large a divide on the _parties_.
RT is fantastic for criticizing the US government. Though I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them when covering Russia.

Abby Martin's Breaking the Set show is what got me to pay attention to just how coddled by our domestic media our government is. There are so many things that they straight up don't cover at all.

It's not a slant in stories, it's a total refusal to cover important things.
Interesting point. Although, a 5cm nail is tiny, that's like what you'd use to hang a picture on the wall.

A real carpenter's nail is what I was picturing and that's more like 10-15cm which 2-3x's your impact depth (which is still only ~1km).

So I think if anything, your point is basically proof that a nail or any traditional gauss gun projectile would absolutely ablate into gas immediately when fired at the hypersonic speed of orbital escape velocity.

Gap years, or as they used to be called sabaticals, are common once you reach 8+ years of experience. If you are a good engineer, you can take mutiple years, and still be ok, as long as you keep your skills sharp. (i.e. have some kind of personal project that you work during those times)
AirDrop Anywhere – Making it work on Windows
In C (and C++) main is always a function with zero parameters, two parameters as described in detail, or some implementation-specific set of parameters. ANything else is undefined behaviour.

In other words, you can write `main` as anything you want, and it might do something when presented to a C compiler, and that might do something when linked through the system linker, but it's not C code.

Doing something that's by definition incorrect and having it maybe do something somewhere sometimes, or maybe not, is not really all that impressive when you think about it.
In reality you'd just get a situation similar to Japan.
> You have never built a system yourself. Neither has Google, for that matter, but they've gotten closer than you. The amount of code that runs on the average modern computer is probably too much to be read in a lifetime.

When I say built a system obviously I don't mean writing the code. But deciding what programs install and how to configure them to build a system customized for your needs, secure and optimized. In fact Chrome OS is based on Gentoo Linux if I recall correctly, I installed Gentoo Linux a lot of times in the past.

> But you can on a Chromebook because you can use the Linux underneath.

But you aren't doing it in the browser. Running Linux inside Chrome OS has some limitations anyway.

> You use the apps you have installed.

On Chromebooks you cannot install applications locally. Unless you use a Linux Chroot, that is something advanced that most user don't do (and I would argue what is the point, just install Linux as the main operating system at this point). You are supposed to use only web applications, like Google Docs, that will not work without a connection available.

Also typically Chromebooks have little SSD space, because you are supposed to keep all your stuff in the cloud. Of course if you don't have internet the cloud doesn't work. I prefer having all my data locally on my computer, so I can access my files without needing a constant connection (and internet connections seems to know when you need them and decides to stop working exactly at that moment).

The situation: the classic startup advice always says "talk to your users" (Paul Graham on Twitter, just one random example[1])

>Sigh- voted against Trump twice.

You cannot vote "against" someone in any election except a recall.

Who you voted for is who you voted for.

There is no special treatment of main in the major C compilers, the only "magic" thing the compiler does is including the CRT startup object file in the link, which defines _start as a function ultimately calling main, and having the default linker script set the address of "_start" as the executable entry point.

You can pass -nostdlib to gcc to disable linking the CRT startup object (or use ld directly) and you can pass --default-script /dev/null to ld to disable the linker script.

There is no need to declare main or check arguments or return types since in C arguments are both pushed and popped by the caller and the language provides no typing guarantees and thus there is no problem in calling functions with mismatched argument or return type declarations.

I'm not sure how that's relevant.

When we release software to others under an open license we are explicitly allowing them to do exactly what nix is doing.

I'm not sure what other reason we have a component independently deployable other than to make it usable by people in other projects.

AFAICT it's kind of the opposite problem to systemd owning unrelated stuff because it's easier on those developers.
I’m an engineer on the Identity team. There are two somewhat separate questions here. (1) Whether the business should ever have access to this data. And (2) how exactly the business should access that data and the security properties around it.
On (1) this data is fundamentally the user’s, and there are often important compliance reasons as to why the user needs access to the raw data because of obligations that they themselves are subject to. It’s important to remember that you should trust both Stripe and the business that’s asking you to verify your identity. They are in control of explaining to you how they are using this data and giving you an option to opt out—or lose you as a customer.
On (2) we’re working on a way to restrict access via secret keys very soon.

That seems like a preposterous claim. Those are classic regime television stations. And I find this diagram biased.

Also, "middle" or centrist is not the same as objective. The path of least extreme disagreement is not the same as the truth (ask a Christian: he'll tell you that Jesus is the truth and that the world hates Jesus). Besides, the middle of what? The neoliberal paradigm? The current spread on offer?

I listened to and contributed to NPR for years, long before Trump, Hillary , or Obama were things. I watch Fox news also. When you distinguish between news and opinion shows, Fox is at least as good as CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS. When you watch a cropped clip, then the full clip, and the entire circumstances change that should be a sign. Notice the Wired example mentioned kids in a TN classroom, and it was the liberal kids they implied were scared to express their opinions. I'm pretty sure they cherrypicked that. Because that is the opposite in most states, especially those where the teachers assign specific homework based on opinion shows, demonizing specific parties and ideas.
Your initial point about climate science... It was cooling, then heating, now change, and sea level rise. Most people you would characterize as "climate deniers" believe in climate change. Many do not agree that by adopting electric cars and burning ethanol(remember that transfer of wealth?) in the US, we control change after crippling our economy while China churns out multiple times what the rest of the world does. I'm sure they'll stop tho, once the completely dominate the world economy.

Too bad the nature of politics has changed. We need another FDR and WPA. Too many politicans favor crafting lucrative public contracts to their cabal of friends than crafting a productive public works project. There is no job security in that.

Another big issue is the cost to run. In order to be a decent candidate, you need to buy national advertising, which is owned by a handful of companies, which would prefer certain candidates who would provide them with profitable legislation.

The current crop is rotten and the mechanisms we have to get a new one are coopted by these entrenched private interest groups who actively fight to ensure their profitable status quo doesn't change, and only does if a profitable angle has been already conceived. Maybe this is the American Way.
That seems to imply that they are willing to train you in whatever you need give you prove you have an aptitude.

HN is very, very authoritarian left.
I started a startup, but it failed.... how about that.

Easy peasy. It really depends on what you did. If you are an engineer and were keeping your skills sharp by doing a side project, then you shouldn't have any problem saying: I was working on my project/trying to do a startup.

99% of people will understand. Failed startups are neither a plus but not a negative thing either.
The problem of course is that not every issue needs a "both sides" treatment.

Another point is that there aren't "two sides" to political issues but a wide variety of sides and that often, when you pick the two supposed sides of an issue, you've actually picked the answer - without, say, having to have an argument for this answer.

Unpopular note: HN has had too many of these garbage articles leveraging this vacuous and manipulative "two sides" rhetoric - "Ivy League" article but several others. And these have had an actually pretty strong center-right bias and just generally detract from the site imo.

I don't think that's a considerations for most. Salary differences internally in both the US and Europe are large enough that there's a huge overlap. For my part in the instances where taking US jobs have come up the salary differences ended up being small enough not to be worthwhile.

Tax rates also depends greatly on which locations you're comparing. Between e.g. California and the UK the difference was small enough when I looked into it that it'd be easily eaten up by healthcare.

For my part, I spend about $5k/month total on living costs including sending a kid to private school and mortgage on a 3 bedroom house in London, and ordering food in most days, and I'm being hugely wasteful and could make do with far less of I had to.

The rest goes into investments.

I realize this is off topic, but I just have to say… that is a pretty awesome name.

One joke we had in grad school is great roboticists had interesting names… one of my favorite examples was Howie Choset (How he choose it). One of the many interesting/colorful folk I have met on my journey.

I sometimes wonder that by having an “unusual name”, by making you “stand out”, further promotes you to deliberately stand out.
You seem to be contradicting yourself. Businesses are asking for Stripe to verify identity. These businesses just need verification, not copies of documents, but Stripe makes them available anyway. That's the whole contention.

As a consumer, I would expect Stripe would do the verification and give the business partner the result, but not all the data they used to get the results themselves.
