He didn't just say he "wasn't happy about it," he also said "I don't blame them." You're right, it's not apologizing, but it's exoneration.

I'm guessing you're aware of the trading halts in January and are arguing that's legal (or at least remain unconvinced it's illegal). Rather than have a long argument about whether or not brokers were legally entitled to restrict trading, I'll just concede as it really wasn't the point I wanted to make. I'm not a lawyer, there is nuance in the legal system, blah blah blah. I could go down the GME rabbit hole but nobody gives a shit. I think of it more like when a cop gets away with murder in our legal system. Did he commit a crime? Well, technically no, because our legal system said so - but I still feel comfortable calling him a criminal. Likewise, nobody in the US went to jail for the 2008 financial collapse, so I guess nobody committed any crimes.

But that's me moving the goalposts, making appeals to emotions, and just generally making a very weasely argument. My frustration is with people so willfully absolving others of guilt. I feel like the way to make the world a better place is by holding people accountable for their actions, instead of just chant it as some bullshit mantra at another dumb tech startup that provides no real value to anyone. Obviously other people have different perspectives and may not have seen any wrongdoing in what happened. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. And I'm allowed to think people are ignorant and morally bankrupt for the beliefs they hold.

So you're right, but I don't care because that's not what matters.
Oh man. When Seattle was removing the Fun Forest from Seattle Center I remember calling the council and asking them to replace with a real forest. Would have been cool (literally and figuratively) to have an acre or two of Cascadia native trees so close to a downtown core.

Got a glass museum and a astro-turf kids park instead.
This issue is not related to Asus laptops.
> Reversals through replication failure is scientific progress.

Not really. If a flat earther comes and says that the earth is flat, and you take him up in a airplane and show him the curvature of the earth, he can’t say that flat earth study is science because “reversals through replication failure is scientific progress”

There is a difference between making real scientific contributions through careful research, trial design, and statistical analysis, and spouting BS.

After a bunch of high profile reversals, psychology is looking more like the spouting BS group that then justifies themselves by saying that clearing up BS is scientific advancement.

If we want society to be able to actually use science to make decisions, then we have to be careful to differentiate science from BS.
NHTA is in touch with relevant agencies and the manufacturer to gather more information about the incident. Let's wait for that
It would never work. To do it directly, you'd have to contract with the other party. Those who don't want to contribute would no longer be compelled to do so, they can simply not accept the contract.
The link says they didn't want to republish already public information. That makes sense. Why would they publish public information?
At least that will reduce the chance of license violation as well as make a good legal argument for any uncovered violations as "unintentional" incidents.
There are way too many misuse cases for this product. For example - someone who wants to convert good cops into bad cops could use a system like this to target good cops.
Same thing for the officers I checked. All emails/phones were publicly listed on their own agencies websites.
China is deficit in arable land for food. If those farmers aren't reskilling (or even if the labor pool on a whole isn't reskilling, presuming your intellectual contributions don't mean farming) then it's an overall waste of labour.
I worked at Best Buy for a while. They would literally threaten our jobs over anything. Your hours were based on how many people you signed up for their warranty/Geek Squad bullshit. They expected you to push it on people (especially old people/non-tech people). I was also expected to sell their credit cards. On Black Friday, I was forced to work 18 hours. They literally made me feel like working there was as serious as doing brain surgery.

It is a shitty retail job.
It was a horrible environment.
> There are actual virologists who support the lab leak theory

Very few. I don't know of any major virologist who actually says it's more likely, and the overwhelming majority say it's highly unlikely.

Right now, everything points to the outbreak being associated with animal markets, just like SARS.
Your primary worry was that somebody might read that sentence and believe that the US is gassing immigrants?

Seems unlikely.
Wait until the first influencer is arrested and the cops involved are mass downvoted by all their followers.
That was sort of my point. That it's not as simple as saying it's just anti fraud.
People can post whatever they want in the reviews. There's no verification process, or privacy policy. At best, this is "just trust us".
no it wouldn't.
> then free speech stops at being able to make a VOIP call

Or host a web server, or IRC server, or seed a torrent, or a million other things. You can "hold up a sign" that has your message on all of these mediums.
This blaming Russia thing is way beyond ridiculous now. WHAT "Russian corruption" are you talking about? Is it the same as the "Russian interference in the US elections," i.e. something that has never existed in reality and was just invented by the US mass media for their purposes?
Here's a search for the pay for every "sergeant" in my state. Not brand new cops, but not lieutenants, captains of chiefs either:

Ok, so I cannot comment on dogs since I am not a dog,

But somehow you, who are not a dog as well (I presume), just happen to know that dogs prefer domestic life.

Nice dissonance there, pal.
Could China have handled this better? Hell yes.

The thing is though, I seriously doubt the end result would have been any different if the virus has first come about in any other country.

Imagine that the virus has first been discovered in Atlanta (first US city that came to mind) - would officials really be brave enough to have a hard, immediate lockdown, with all the economic hardships that would entail, and with all the problems of getting a doubting populace on onboard? (keeping in mind that Trump's initial reaction was to denounce the very notion of a serious virus as a "hoax")

I don't believe in absolutism of labels. Why can't I appreciate the concepts of libertarianism, while also appreciating concepts of government? Its foolish to box oneself into only thinking everything must follow a label and no mixing is allowed
I am sorry for your health problem. I don't know if anything like that exists, but could you use your legs/feet to drive a mouse-like device? When I was a child, a teacher told us of a woman who learned to type on a typewriter (it was before computers became popular) using her toes. I wish you luck with figuring out what works for you.
4 or 5 of the top people in the DNC including DWS resigned because of revelations of corruption in the emails. How did you miss that?
You bring up a good point (the length of data). What the author says is: "Recent research (3) indicates that the combined effects of sunspot-induced changes in solar irradiance and increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases offer the best explanation yet for the observed rise in average global temperature over the last century."

In answering the original commenter, I wanted to do research and see if the poster had a valid concern. I found nothing newer that ruled out sunspots as a contributor to warming. Maybe I missed something. However, I don't treat old research as less informative unless it has been disproven.

I don't think that is the case here.
My argument is that 1) you can, actually, make a choice using this information 2) that the OP isn't unique or different from other review sites, that in fact the OP is along the same lines of Rate My Professors, Rate My Teachers or other review sites. I also don't believe it's wrong, but I didn't argue that.
I guess purelymail is used for contact@purelymail.com itself. But I see only one my record, does this service has mx backup servers for the customers?
> Criminal impersonation, fraud, forgery, it's someone assuming your identity for financial gain. It's similar to selling a car you don't own or someone else's real estate property through title fraud.

It doesn't not require fraud or forgery to sell someone else's book. You don't claim to be the author, you claim to be a publisher. Publishers always publish authors' work, that is literally the business of a publisher. You are also not forging anything, unless you are claiming that your version of the book is a specific edition of the printed work.

If you sold an author's work and claimed that you have a contract with that author, so that they receive a share of the proceeds, and if that claim was untrue, then that would be fraud. But you could simply not make that claim.

> It's similar to selling a car you don't own or someone else's real estate property through title fraud.

The title represents the property right. If you didn't have the right to exclusive ownership of cars, then the title would be irrelevant, because you could just obtain the keys to the car and sell them to someone. Property rights are the reason this is illegal, not title fraud.
Back in time I switched completely to left-handed mouse. It took about a week to get to a workable speed.
yep, now imagine summer super hot day, your A/C is burning, and some touristic destination charger is busy. Why on earth tesla owner should spent 1h on charging instead of 15 minutes? Especially premium model S/X owners? I don't understand why.
It's sort of communism. Tesla spent billions in their infra. Tesla sells as much cars as possible. One of the reasons they are successful is their infra.
There is no rational reason for Tesla to do so. It will increase competition for other networks in a negative way. If somewhere in the mountains there is a tesla charger and others can use it... Why global charging networks would build something there? Unless amount of non-tesla cars is several times higher.
Also, considering Tesla plans and release of $25k in 2023 in 1-2 years existing infra would be extremely busy.
We need a place for alternative networks, not suffocate competition with communism regulations and promoting Tesla network as the only option.
Why is the media unwilling to publish information which contravenes the malfeasance of the intelligence agencies?
> You don't get to pick and choose your kid's public school teachers, either

Where I live you do. You can put in a request to have your child go to another school, either in your district or even out of your district. Or enroll them in private school, or charter school, or, heck, home school them.

The difference is, doing this means you as a parent are on the hook for getting your child to these schools (and in the case of home school, teaching as well).

But just because something is inconvenient doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And these options mean you can put your child where they will excel.
I think I agree with you in general. Its interesting, because on the one hand these laws exist for the theft and abuse in the market that a lack of IP laws allowed in the past.

Yet the current implementation is an embarrassing mockery of a system for protecting property. The current IP office and laws literally cannot do the job they're made to do. Hard as they might try.

But as long as we continue to be a market economy, it seems there must still be some regulation of IP. Though I can't say with an specificity what that should look like. I personally don't like the idea of intellectual property, but I can still see the value of protections for it. I'd like to see much, much shorter time frames for exercising IP ownership and a perhaps some kind of licensing fee/tax to encourage productivity and innovation. You're not going to mess around with something you have to pay to upkeep and you're likely to actively develop your idea into a product or else sell it. This would favor incumbents in a way that's justifiable I think.
No one capable of doing those things would have even bought one of these WD devices in the first place...
> Honestly I think Mastodon is already about as easy to use as possible. The real problem is the network effect, and the fact that the average person really just doesn't care enough about the benefits you get from it.

I care a great deal about the benefits of Mastodon! For me, the benefit is that anyone who is obsessive about conspiracy theories, racism, etc have a quarantined social space where they can converse without me having to listen.

Sidewalks are not content providers, don't come with legal terms and conditions, and not legally protected by Section 230. That's a reductionist argument and completely absurd to consider a sidewalk a website. You're analogy is flawed, a sidewalk is more akin to the network infrastructure of the internet, but a website is your analogy is more like a house. And you can kick anyone out of your house you want to because you own that property.

Furthermore, government dictated moderation is de facto censorship, not the other way around.
This is why corporations need constitutional rights--something I have seen the left trying to strip away during the last 10 years or so.

Yes, a corporation isn't a person per se, but it is a group of people. To decide which websites have free speech rights and which do not based on their organizational or tax structure is both arbitrary and unfair.
The current model will not work. No way to fact check reviews, no way to prevent spam. Amazon has the same problem with their public reviews.

I posted Episode 398 of The Corbett Report podcast, “Science Says,” around 10 PM Japanese Standard Time on Friday, April 9th, 2021, and then went to bed. Sometime shortly after midnight, the main Corbett Report channel was removed from YouTube.

And, just like that, 14 years of work—some 1700+ videos, 569,000+ subscribers and 90 million+ video views—was erased from the digital ether. . . . Well, the GooTube portion of that digital ether, anyway.
The article is specifically discussing concerns with us funding of this sort of research. That is something that can change.
Your stats were really eye opening for me. I’m stunned men still opine on this conversation.
Sorry, fixed. Thank you for the info!

To ask the question is to know the answer. Just imagine a public health official trying to convince the mayor or governor to quarantine a city of millions of people, based on a small number of pneumonia cases.

I know nutritionists claim we are not "meant" to consume milk after 1-2 years old, but it's not my life's goal to become an athlete and eating cheese is optimal for me, in the sense it makes me "optimally happy" because good cheese is one of life's pleasures.
In the communities I participated in in the 90's, although most of them were left-leaning politically, people with different opinions were welcomed. People wanted to hear counter arguments and they wanted to hear the other side of the story.

As far as I can tell, that is all gone now. People with unpopular opinions just get banned immediately. Sometimes it is the same exact people in the exact same communities who 20 years ago would have wanted to hear that unpopular opinion. I don't know if the cause is that they have been trolled one too many times, they just got older and changed, something in the culture, who knows. The big sort keeps getting bigger though.
Very cool! It definitely highlights structure better but the symbols are too small for my eyes.
This is awesome, can people submit creations too? would be cool if folks can submit randomly created combinations (as well as the pieces required) and it gets added to the directory of possible creations.
Capitalism taking credit for all of this is like a child taking credit for climbing a mountain when he spent the whole time in a backpack carried by a parent. Humans did all of those things. Capitalism was a method for robbing them as they worked.

I was also the family "TV tube test person" as a kid. I must have been around 6 or 7.

For the young'uns, TV sets used to have tubes and hand-soldered point-to-point circuitry. Just like an ENIAC, a tube TV would always "go on the fritz" as the tubes burned out.

My dad showed me how to pull out all the tubes, and we would put them in a cigar box and go to the little corner grocery, which had a tube tester in front. I would dial up all the settings for each tube and test it, and we would buy replacements for the bad ones. Take them back home and I would plug them in, and the TV worked again! Dad was always generous and made sure I got credit for it.

BTW did you ever get to discharge the high voltage connection to the picture tube with a screwdriver and wire with alligator clips? One clip to chassis ground, the other to the screwdriver, then slip the screwdriver under the rubber insulated connector, and BANG!

Assuming that the Internet only became significantly effective in media when direct acceess to it exceeded 50% of the global population ... makes little sense. It needen't even be considered where 50% of, say, advanced media markets have Internet access.

What's necessary is for Internet connectivity to be high enough that other media gatekeepers are ineffective, and that's a threshold which was all but certainly crossed somewhere between the 1990s and early 2000s. With other nontraditional media channels (samizdat printing presses, pirate radio, 'Zine culture, and the like), there were pretty big holes in the mainstream media monopoly even earlier, though perhaps not quite at mass media level.

(Interestingly, if you go further back, there was enough diversity in mainstream media that a single unitary media culture didn't exist. It's helpful to realise that this mass-media culture was a largely novel development of the 1950s, much commented on at the time.)

That said: media control, expressed as the ability to promote and suppress specific narratives, is as old as speech. Methods exist and have varied, but distraction, taboo, blacklisting, and access control (that is, denying personal access to reporters or publications which don't toe the official or blessed line) are key mechanisms.

In today's mobile social Internet age, distraction, trust attacks, firehose, and that old classic, the Big Lie, are still effective methods of media control.
Which licenses would it be ok that the training material is licensed under, though? If it produces verbatim enough copies of eg. MIT licensed material, then attribution is required. Similar with many other open source-friendly licenses.

On the other hand, if only permissive licenses that also don't require attribution is used, well, then for a start, the available corpus is much smaller.
OK, but the context here is the laws of the United States.
If journalists that timed their articles for maximum effect or didn’t willingly impact both parties the same way are to be thrown at the lions, I think we’ll all end in a bad place.

A way to look at this is that we should have more Assange and Wikileaks, and get leaks of problematic facts from all over the boards. If you feel Wikileaks was biased, it means we need different shades of it, and to get there we first need at least one shade of it. And currently we’re not even there.
Don’t Buy a Desktop PC with One of Intel’s Newest Processors
I'd add that if and when Assange is actually extradited to the US, that will be news.

And if and when Assange goes on trial in a US Federal court, that will be covered ad inifinitum, ad nauseam by the US press.
All: please don't post generic comments [1], and definitely not generic flamebait comments [2], in threads like this. Those are repetitive, tedious, and therefore off topic (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Edit: we don't want to just repeat the same argument over and over, because there's no curiosity in that [5], and because it usually turns nasty [6].

The value of an article (and thread) on a major ongoing topic, such as this one, is in the specifics of what the article discusses—in other words, the diff relative to previous articles and threads [3]. If there aren't any new specifics, then the article itself would count as off topic [4], but in this case there do seem to be.

How is search better on Linux? KDE's Baloo is worse than Windows Search; it's an unending trainwreck of failing to index files (whether names or contents) on some computers and going stale on other computers. Maybe GNOME's file indexing is better, I'm not sure. Do you use the (non-index-based) find and grep CLI commands? In that case you can install them on Windows too, or install fd/rg on both Windows and Linux.
