I am not intending to conflate emotions with cognitive bias, although since both are product of the brain they are of course related. I see why you thought that, my apologies, I may have skipped something important there.

It's just that your emotions about a particular attribute or situation will possibly be subject to and definitely interact with various cognitive bias.

Someone who is bad at reciting book reports might infer they are just not good at public speaking. Because they believe it is so, they may attribute their failures to this quality that they believe they possess.

But what if the failure isn't an attribute like being bad at speaking, but a side effect of normal anxiousness and inexperience? Will he or she recognize this, or are they likely to harbor a bias or explanation that confirms their belief? Would they be motivated to reason about why they are no good at it, and therefor shouldn't join the debate team in order to avoid experiencing speaking anxiety?

When the English teacher later asks them to read a passage, might they feel shame and resentment towards the teacher and themselves? If they feel the shame and resentment, I think they might experience cognitive dissonance, and reason that they are bad at speaking, they have stage fright. That would explain the fear and anger.

Finally, how likely are they to simply trust their mom who suggests they stick it out, and try to get a passing grade in their public speaking course?
The tech is great, the feeds are just garbage / 2nd tier citizens. Garbage in, garbage out rule still lives.

e.g. I've got an economist sub - a reputable source of news. Checked out the feed...picked one...week in review. Title on every post is week in review. Content of post is a link. No context, no summary, no single sentence...nothing.i.e. Would need to click through to find out topic on each one.

Might as well not use RSS...

Love the concept but have concluded in practice it is a non-starter. The usefulness of it depends entirely on what providers stick in the feed. And all their focus is on pushing their app/twitter/insta etc. Not hard to monetize RSS.
I've made a ton of online --> irl friends on a particular platform. It was just a matter of meeting up with one in the group and talking about it on the platform, everyone wants to be second and not the first to take a risk.

Public information in a language none of their staff speaks.

People say Wikileaks is wrong that all the information offered to them was public, but none of the published chat logs show anyone explaining to Wikileaks that there are unpublished leaks in there.
I think there is a big difference, at least philosophically, between forcing someone to physically write out a message they don't agree with, and preventing a censor from seeking out messages their employer disagrees with and deleting them so other people can't see them.

Whether that philosophical difference matters in the eyes of the law is another question, and I'm glad I'm not the one who has to interpret it.
Yes! This as well.

Oh I was looking for something like this but with a bit of a different intent: building from instructions, but of course you have to look for pieces in a random pile of legos. Use CV to identify the piece(s) you are looking for.

Would be awesome! Actually thought that was what this was doing at first as well.
It seems like "go viral, get acquired by Lego" would be a reasonable game plan.
Oh look, you are a deranged nutcase using the pedophile smear.

Want to hunt and destroy some guy out of frustration, and without legal permission? Just say "he's a pedophile!". Oldest trick in the book.

You really don't care about children. Let's be real here. You are a frustrated low-status man who is seeking other men who are low-status or vulnerable to destroy. That's all you are.

Nutcases like you are beyond the pale.
You seriously can not tell from that image that Byuu was a pedophile. You might as well say that anyone who posts chibi anime characters is a pedophile. The truth could simply be that Byuu liked that image for its cuteness.

And frankly you don't care about pedophilia, you are just hunting for low-status or vulnerable men. I don't see you nutcases going after girls into yaoi or romance novels that are filled with exploitation of child characters.

Hit the road, nutcase.
Yes, I had a first-hand experience with this. Cheap VPS was blackholed right away at Yahoo and any attempt to unblock it was not successful. It makes sense though.

Then I set up my own bare metal server and put it into a real datacenter serverhousing. I had couple of problems at the beginning and later once a few years later - problems sending to microsoft - but all those were resolved rather quickly via their forms. And I haven't had any deliverability problems since then.

The serverhousing I used is very strict regarding spam reports. I once tried to use the server also for sending newsletters (no spam lists, just emails which explicitly subscribed). Someone reported it as spam once and serverhousing contacted me soon after that they don't tolerate any spam. I explained that it was not spam and that there was unsubscribe link but I decided to not use it for any kind of marketing again. I think specialized services are better for this.
It was likely downvoted at the time because it adds little to the discussion. It just laundry-lists some disasters. Disasters occur every year, with the caveat that we may know about more of them for various reasons including more information being gathered and more information being disseminated.

Unfortunately, the dipshit comment (now flagged) a couple of replies above yours catapulted the other dipshit comment into upvote territory because despite its total lack of substance, people had to upvote it as some kind of political statement. Yeah, how dare this be downvoted, it's a very important comment (stating nothing of importance) about how disaster is happening everywhere all the time with zero nuance or introspection about why this might be! Le upvote!
You say “fair and flat taxes” as if there’s no sort of contradiction there.
"VAX machines, and whatever other hardware they could get their hands on."

I was in high school in the New England area in the 80's. DEC donated a ton of great equipment to public schools, including pretty large VAX machines, terminals, printers, etc. From what I recall, it was driven a lot by a DEC exec named Russ Gullotti. It was pretty unusual at the time to be able to take Fortran, PASCAL, C, VMS, etc, classes in high school. I think this contributed quite a lot to the hacker vibe in the Massachusetts and New Hampshire areas.
Why are you validating what this nutcase is saying? He is lying and smearing, and also doesn't care about pedophilia. I guarantee you him and kiwifarmers are all into depraved shit when no one else is looking.

They just see Byuu as a vulnerable guy, and that is why they attack this person, because they are frustrated low-status men who attack other men they see as vulnerable or weaker.

Understand their actual motivation and reject them completely.
In response to the claim "YouTube it still taking down videos claiming X", you reply "This video featured someone not credible."

Are you claiming that YouTube's policy is to take down all videos with non-credible speakers? Or that YouTube judged that the arguments made in this particular video did not meet their standards?
> an unhinged stream of emotional bullshit

You literally did the same thing you accused that reviewer of doing, except from the opposite side of the aisle.

It's likely the reviewer probably thinks you are batshit crazy.

I think it's fairly likely you're both sane.
I once posted a question about some trans issue on multiple online communities. I forget the exact issue, and I presented both sides of the issue and then where I thought the truth may lie. I was pretty open about not knowing and wanting a discussion. It got shutdown everywhere, so I live on in ignorance because some things are apparently verboten. How does that benefit anyone?

There should be nothing so sacred as to be above debate.

The problem with this group of tech companies deciding what is true and what is not, is that even if they're right the vast majority of the time, that few percent where they were wrong and silenced that voice actually matter. Nearly every idea we now hold sacred in science was once heretical. If you silence the heretics, how can you have progress? The Catholic church used to do that, during a period we now call the dark ages. We know how this ends.

Protecting people from misinformation can't be done with censorship, only by presenting them with the truth.
It’s really crazy how the skeptical crowd (erring on the side of the lab leak theory) are all grayed out. How about we don’t gray those voices out in these discussions. Dispute it, no problem, but somethings do need to be talked about over and over.

There’s a million discussions on code complexity, job interviews, etc, because we know it’s a problem we have to keep angling at to come to a truth. Here we have China that is undoubtedly being obstructionist with respect to gaining clarity. We have to keep angling at this if we are ever to get closer.

Curious about who you are and why you built this. What’s the story?
I do.

My advice is: Start now and figure the rest out later. Building something like this you need a multi-decade timespan to see your vision come even close to fruition.
Assange clearly stated his purpose for starting Wikileaks [0, 1]: to make people in government fear that their corruption and incompetence will be exposed and therefore encourage them to act properly and carefully. Consistent with that purpose, Wikileaks timed the information release for maximum negative impact on the offender.

To have not heard of them at all whatsoever in the 1990s you don't need to be outside a business, you need to be under a rock, basically never see a TV, newspaper, hear a radio news broadcast, watch a sporting event with sponsor logos, visit any city with billboards, or be tangential to any of their hundreds of thousands of employees, none of your parents or your friends parents working for them, or anything. It really isn't like "can you name the senior vice presidents of CK Prahalad's management consultancy". It's more like "yeah of course teens haven't heard of Ford or FedEx, they don't buy pickup trucks and aren't logistics specialists".

> "discounting the rampant americentrism"

I'm not American. But if your position is reduced to "a North Korean farmer's child wouldn't have heard of them", then it's not a very strong position.
In fact, your effective rate goes down as you get wealthier, because progressively less of your income is treated as “ordinary income” with respect to the tax code, and there are more options available for paying high-end management firms to structure your wealth in ways that minimize taxation. So the wealthiest people have an effective tax rate of zero.

The hackers of the day fought for the freedom of speech and the ability to express yourself without government control.

Now? Those same people fight for pseudo diversity (IE: no males or white people), control of our speech through big tech companies, and the ability to express yourself, as long as it agrees with the current liberal narrative.

All others are banned, crushed, and silenced. I've lost a lot of respect for this group as a whole.

Most were actually radical authoritarians, disguised as freedom fighters because their side didn't have any power.

I have a lifetime subscription to 2600 and I've been reading it since the early 90s. The editors will routinely talk directly about their fight for freedom, but when it comes to something against the current narrative or when a Democrat is in power, they seem to let most civil liberty violations slide or just won't acknowledge it.
Who said anything about adverse?

Every person alive will die, 100% chance.

I understand the point of the article and the hundreds of other like it proclaiming coffee or red wine or friends reduce the “risk of death.” They mean to say reduces the number of test subjects who died during the study period. Nothing reduces the risk, though. We all die.
Exact same thing happened with me. Had the 4$/mo (I think) plan to support them, despite doing nothing on their platform beyond free tier, and when it became clear that would become > 20$/mo in future I cancelled it and left a message explaining why. Apparently they felt the three year ramp up was more than generous.

>It's due to "a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents," said spokesperson Brian Harper-Tibaldo.
> For example, I've spent the past six years of my life writing a book...In a world where that happens all the time, many people would be simply unwilling or unable to invest that high fixed cost and those goods wouldn't exist at all.

Honestly the world would be better off. If anyone wants to go off on their own for six years and etch out their own symphony—that's great! All the freedom to them. But that's not something we should subsidize as society by restricting everyone else's intellectual freedoms. Most books are 10x - 100x too long and are mostly a regurgitation of existing ideas.

We need more people collaborating on items like Wikipedias and RISC-Vs and Linux Kernels and fewer people trying to generate some new "novel" thing which they have a monopoly over. We shouldn't ever disbar someone from creating whatever they want, but we need to stop pretending like these things are worth a fortune. They're not. The big winners are only making a fortune because of these monopoly laws, not because they are orders of magnitude better than the alternatives.

> those goods wouldn't exist at all.

The data is overwhelming that the critical, most important goods get created just fine without copyright and patent protection. TCP/IP, WWW, Wikipedia, the majority of all essential medicines, critical NIH databases, et cetera. The goods we get from copyrights and patents are the junk like Oxycontin, Microsoft Windows (how much have we paid for in security lapses), CNN and NYTimes and FoxNews.
I know. The headline is still wrong. Aspirin may improve one’s chance of living more than five years with cancer. Everyone will die, with or without cancer, with or without aspirin.

>Maybe provide some feedback, so I can understand why you disagree with me?

From your second link "These incidents don’t prove, as some have alleged, that Assange is some kind of paid Russian agent, or that WikiLeaks is a Russian front organization"

Your first link was addressed elsewhere. I can't personally blame Assange for liking Russia more than the country that has spent a decade making his life a living hell. Even if Russia's motives are obviously impure, they are more helpful to furthering Assange's goal.
OT: There was a "Nature" two part series about horses [1] and they talked about Yakutian horses [2], native to that region.

Yakutia gets impressively cold in winter, but it is no slouch in summer, either. It normally gets up to 38℃ (100℉). Those horses take both the summer heat and the winter cold outdoors, unsheltered. That's a 108℃ (194℉) range they handle.

Humans should only consume UHT milk or highly fermented milk products, not normally pasteurized or unpasteurized milk. Milk protein consumption induces postprandial hyperinsulinaemia and shifts the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) axis to permanently increased IGF-1 serum levels. Insulin/IGF-1 signalling is involved in the regulation of fetal growth, T-cell maturation in the thymus, linear growth, pathogenesis of acne, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, obesity, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, thus affecting most chronic diseases of Western societies. Of special concern is the possibility that milk intake during pregnancy adversely affects the early fetal programming of the IGF-1 axis which will influence health risks later in life.

Are legal departments in the habit of reviewing all code line by line? Seems like that would be cost prohibitive...
> You're clutching a lot pearls here, but has there been any evidence for any of this every happening?

That idiom doesn't make sense to me in this context, there's no cultural issue or whatnot. It's about seeing how unverified claims can hurt people, which you don't need a crystal ball or peer reviewed study to tell you. It's also about the burden of proof - why do I need to point to tons of instances of these kinds of sites ruining innocent people's lives, but we should all expect what's posted here to be true without 'evidence'?

> There's mountains of evidence of how bad cops are protected by the union, the government policy, and even legally (hello qualified immunity, and repeated court deference).

"The police" are not some monolithic entity, with one single union or one single government, at least in the United States which this site is obviously directed at. Different unions and departments conduct themselves differently, and a lot of them don't have these problems.

> Given the official reticence to hold officers to even the lowest standards of professionalism, what is your alternative? Throw up our collective hands?

This is another fallacy - people that see the obvious problems with unverified claims on the internet are not required to give you solutions to whatever problem the latest example website is claiming to help solve.

That being said, I can choose to answer that question as the separate topic it is. My answer is stronger hiring practices and when the rubber hits the road, federal enforcement. There are police departments that don't have these problems. Americans have civil rights and federal law enforcement is supposed to protect them, even and especially from state governments when those are violated. More money needs to be spent, and for a lot of departments they just need to wipe the force.
QED. I make a post alleging how angry people are more likely to leave negative comments and reviews and immediately afterwards an angry person leaves a vitriolic comment making sweeping judgements about my character without evidence just to be a dick. Is there anything you have to say about the actual points I brought up?

I have trouble imagining what an external auditor established in China would look like. A worldwide rating similar to credit ratings, where failing to play the game correctly results in sanctions? If China's IP history has shown us anything, it's that they will do whatever they want with reckless abandon.
No, please don't twist my words. Namecheap's support rep told me that Namecheap is rejecting logins from customers using the third-party VPN, and that Namecheap has no plans to allow customers using the third-party VPN to log in. It is relevant to point out that Namecheap is refusing service to customers who use one of Namecheap's competitors. That's a conflict of interest, whether you admit to it or not.
I would suggest drawing your own conclusions from the book. It’s exhaustively researched and thoroughly cited, but it’s a topic that gets people worked up so I’m sure that interpretations abound.

I’m kind of curious as to what you mean by this:
> it seems the author accurate identifies the role of police in society but perhaps doesn't adequately account for how society would change if the police were removed but the driving force for their existence remained in place.

You believe that the author has a factual understanding of the current state of police, and at the same time is factually wrong about a hypothetical scenario that has never occurred in American history?

(As an aside, I’m not sure what the synopses have led you to believe Vitale is directly advocating for. It’s a very complex book with a lot of nuance. If one’s interpretation is “this is the same exact thing as a ‘defund the police’ or ‘black lives matter’ or ‘coexist’ bumper sticker” then there isn’t really much that can be done to change that opinion.)

What authors do you think are correct about a hypothetical future in which something completely unprecedented happens to American society?
