That's because the source regularly deliberately misinforms. So it's impossible to know if literally any of the claims here are completely made up.

For example:

_In December 2019, The Sun's political editor, Tom Newton Dunn, wrote an article for the paper titled "Hijacked Labour", alleging that "Jeremy Corbyn is at the centre of an extraordinary network of hard-left extremists pieced together by former British intelligence officers", a network ranging from Novara Media contributor Ash Sarkar to French philosopher Michel Foucault, who has been dead since 1984, that is alleged to be pulling Corbyn's strings.[204] It was later found that the ultimate sources for this claim included the antisemitic, far-right websites The Millennium Report and Aryan Unity._ [1]

A true libertarian doesn't believe it's up to the government to decide what's property. It's up to the market, that is, each person individually,... and their own personal army, to decide what's theirs.
I'd just note there are problems besides information leakage when your secret information system is hacked - the system being used to attack more secret systems, information about the users being gotten, information possibly being changed, denial-of-service.
> as if the Capitol Police intended for a sack of the Capitol to happen

For the past year, I've been hearing about how police often times help right-wing protestors. Now I'm being told they never do and such a suggestion is offensive. Which is it?

Anyway, if this is about sacking the Capitol, then why bring up the Civil War. In that case, Jan 6 would be the worst thing since the War of 1812, not the Civil War. Since apparently simply protesting in unauthorized areas of capitol buildings (like has happened countless times before Jan 6 since 2016 and before[1]) is basically equivalent to sacking DC. This is why I think there's hyperbole.

[1] and there have been several bombings as well, orchestrated by people who are now well-accepted as political pundits in the mainstream, such as Bill Ayers and Susan Rosenberg. In fact, the current DA of San Francisco is the adopted son of Bill Ayers and the bio son of a convicted terrorist and doesn't believe his bio dad did anything wrong. We accept such terrorism as completely mainstream. Any attempt to question is met with accusations of racism or hyperbole. This is ridiculous. It seems as if only one capitol riot is ever seen as meriting such strong condemnation, despite the constant barrage of attacks on the capitol for many years that have occured with impunity [2] [3].

[2] https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/kavanaugh-protests-escalate-... -- unlawfully entered the capitol rotunda. Entered the office of a senator without permission.

[3] https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/arrests-violence-flares-part... -- definitely people storming the area around the capitol in an attempt to apparently overthrow an election. They just weren't very good at it I guess

Partly we're taking out small amounts of water (compared to the size of oceans) - secondly some of the water is likely to come back via eg sewer treatment plants.
> Forget libel -- in some states, it potentially introduces criminal liability!...

> "Governor Kevin Stitt today signed into law House Bill 1643, a bill that makes it crime to dox, or post personal information, of law enforcement and county officials online."

I'm not going to try to judge how wacky that law may be, but this website definitely isn't doxxing:

1. Police officers are public employees, and often a lot of seemingly "personal information" is actually a matter of public record (e.g. salaries). The "personal information" on this website appears to be publicly available (e.g. I found this guy at random https://rateourcops.org/officer/26, it lists a phone number which Google reveals to be on his employer's website https://www.cityofalbertlea.org/contact-us/, so likely an official work number).

2. It cannot be doxxing to truthfully describe your personal experiences with a person (e.g. this cop treated me badly in this way, or I think he only did a one star job).
I'd highlight two arguments which are mentioned in the article but shadowed by main topic of prevention-linkrot-by-archiving (no wonder, as it is written by Perma.cc co-founder):

1. Failure of Lumen/ChillingEffect initiative to prevent bogus takedown requests. Currently, anybody is able to takedown any page on the Internet by sending bogus requests and then takedown any mention about who did it.

2. Google's failure to “organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”. As the author said: “no such transparent, academic competitive search engine exists in 2021“.

I see some relation between those two.
What were the serious issues you observed?
Loads of previous threads here at HN about it, and many of us have heavily engaged in them.
Yep... we should really have a debate about platform-vs-publisher status of media.
Show HN: Goldilocks Scraper – a scraper for Goldilocks (K8s VPA recommendations)
I really like Goldilocks (https://goldilocks.docs.fairwinds.com/) for pod resource recommendations, but its CLI tool is scoped to a single namespace, and the dashboards don't have any option to export data. If you have a lot of SOAs across a lot of diverse clusters, that's a problem.

So I built this: https://github.com/stephanGarland/goldilocks-scraper

It scrapes each namespace's dashboard, grabs the code blocks with BeautifulSoup, throws them into Pandas, does some math, and dumps recommendations out into a YAML file. You can then take those and put them into your deployment.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you use this and break prod. It's a decent baseline, nothing more.
> Why do pro-choice groups oppose holding abortion clinics to the same medical standards as other medical facilities?

They don't, in general.

They do oppose creating “generally-applicable” standards that have the principal effect of preventing access to abortion services, though.
Okay, this is at least honest. Yes, we could certainly effectively return to a form of feudalism/warlordism. I don't think it's a very good idea though.

These authors comment on the idea that war being expensive would be a barrier, and surely it would be some kind of barrier. On the other hand, during the late medieval and early modern eras there were numerous wars that easily cost the entire revenue of the "state" for the year or sometimes multiple years. These wars were privately financed and involved the use of mercenaries. To me, this doesn't sound so different from the world proposed by libertarians like this, and I much prefer our world.
I don’t understand why your sexual preferences are relevant.
I just tried it on my kids' Legos. I made two scans, one per box: it found ~2500 bricks, which I think is a very high hit rate.
However, the build suggestions are very, very lacking. For reference, my kids are 8 and 4.
The builds proposed are very simple, small, and still mention missing pieces (probably related to colors, which honestly most kids don't care about).
I think my 8yo would like it, she tends to build "worlds", assembling many related contraption that each are fairly simple and match the themes found on suggestions.

As for my 4yo, forget it. He is a builder, making very elaborate and complex constructions, the bigger the better. He would find suggestions absolutely uninteresting.
I didn't try to scan Technic legos (which he is fond of and make astonishingly complex contraption given his age). But it's an even more complex problem to solve.

I suspect work on the app was focused on recognition, which honestly is impressive. The second part, finding models, maybe need a bit of work ?
I would recommend at least having an option to "ignore color": it's nice to have a build that looks good, but overall most kids - including myself - like to build first.
> Many right-libertarians fight against the idea of state, but ignore that their economic system of choice, and their basis for property rights, comes from the state itself.

It doesn't. According to them it comes from the right to bear arms, so in theory you'd go out and about and explore, then you'd find a nice , unclaimed piece of land and settle there.

Once progress sort of catches up and the human community reaches the perimeter of your land, then you have your guns to protect your land, your family and the house you built on that land from people who want to take it from you.
Neo from the Matrix shows up with actual information in real life, and thousands of Agent Smiths fall all over themselves trying to explain to each other why they have just cause to murder him.
Seems like they want their 10 minutes (or maybe more than 1 month) of fame to spark the conversation of whether or not a site like this is good/legal/would work. If this service doesn't shutter at the first sign of (libel) lawsuit, I would imagine some political interest groups using it as a way of setting a precedent in their favor (on either side).
It's rather hard to find examples from the other side of the aisle on Wikipedia.

Stephen Quay is a "well known scientist" in a field completely unrelated to virology. He's a medical doctor who also does oncology research. Despite admitting to having no experience with Bayesian inference, he produced a "Bayesian analysis" of the origins of SARS-CoV-2. Another person who testified at that hearing, David Asher (also not a virologist, or even a scientist, but rather a former State Department bureaucrat), has been trying to argue for a year that SARS-CoV-2 is a biological weapon designed by the Chinese military.

The connection between Asher and Quay is that during the Trump administration, Asher led a group trying to prove that SARS-CoV-2 was a bioweapon. Asher refused to go to actual subject-matter experts, and instead had Quay do his "Bayesian analysis." When Asher was finally forced by another official to bring scientists with relevant expertise in to go over his evidence, they tore it to shreds.[1]

These are simply not credible people to be getting your scientific information on SARS-CoV-2 from.

well they should make their review stuff better. sorry but if my merge request has too many changed lines, it basically just does not show all files, not even in their vscode plugin, which is so stupid. it's cheaper to use gitlab free and put upsource behind it, if your dealing with large mr's... I'm not so sure anymore.

if their ci wouldn't be so good, i would've already used gitea. but gitea+drone is way worse.
Thanks for the great write up!

Any chance this thing still works? I imagine it may require some modification either way because of the oldschool battery.
Probably a way for him to "Save" the comment. Typing "Thank You!" would have been more effective and less awkward.
If someone wants to express a complex and nuanced opinion, they should actually explicitly state the nuanced bit. Being generous and giving people the benefit of the doubt at best perpetuates a bad habit which people who are not acting in good faith take advantage of. If you wouldn't feel comfortable expressing an opinion clearly and unambiguously, you probably shouldn't express the opinion at all.
That is a 1.9x burst, not 10x, right?

Do you think the people who operate or use these things are completely helpless and have no contingency plans?

The people in here saying the sky is falling are insane. People who operate disruptive devices are caught, and then educated and/or fined all the time.
They should make also RateOurCriminal just for balance, or maybe RateOurCitizen like they do in China to some extent but in a less blatant way. This idea is more of a political agenda than an honest attempt to improve policing. police service is not like a commercial transaction where both sides can choose who they deal with and both sides have an interest for the interaction to be successful.

One time I called my insurance to check if they would cover something that I could only find an out-of-network provider for.

They said that I had out-of-network coverage after a $750 deductible they would pick up 80% and I would be responsible for 20%.

The out-of-network provider had quoted me $6700 for the service, so my responsibility should be $750 + (20% * ($6700 - $750)) = $750 + $1,190 = $1,940.

I wasn't happy about having to shell out nearly two grand while having the best possible employer provided healthcare, Anthem PPO where we paid the most per month to have low deductibles and high coverage.

At the end of the call, I tell the insurance company my understanding of what my responsibility is and what their responsibility is. Then they drop this on me, "Well we will pay 80% of the allowable price for the billing code the out-of-network provider submits."

Good thing I asked, this was the first time they said anything about an "allowable price" so I describe the service and ask "what's the allowable price for that?"

"Depends on how they code it"

So I go back to the out-of-network provider and ask them for the billing code, which being a doctor that doesn't do their own billing, they have no idea. So I wait a few weeks to get back the billing code, and I'm back on the phone with my insurance company.

"Hey, I have this billing code someone out-of-network will be doing, what's the allowable price on this?"

"We can't tell you that, you'll have to submit a claim."

"But when I submit the claim you will have this billing code and my member id and you will know the allowable price so you can figure out how much you are going to pay, you have that information now. What's the allowable price for this billing code, performed by someone out-of-network, with my plan?"

It took them 2 weeks to come back and say that their "allowable price" was $1,658.

So to summarize, it took me nearly two months of phone calls between myself, the insurance company, and the provider to find out what this service would actually cost. I only avoided accidentally getting hit by a massive surprise bill because of a combination of persistence and luck.

It is nearly impossible to have any reasonable idea how much anything will cost, much less to comparison shop, when it takes months to get answers to basic questions.
I don't understand why this is an issue. And now I have a tool to do my coding, as well as my social media contributions:

"'Sweary comments' is not grammatically correct English." -> GPT-2 ->

"Sweary comments" is not grammatically correct English. The "sweary" meaning is used as slang by those in charge, especially the ones who get a free ride through the media, for the sake of a quick buck, or the sake of getting a better job with a promotion. The word is commonly used in a social context and comes from an actual "sweary" comment. The statement or phrase, "You're too shy!" is derived from this phrase: "I wish he were as outgoing as you."

Am I right?
There was a minor problem with stating in air, having plants with large edible parts, talking with people far away. Science and engineering have helped with all these minor problems, and they can help with the new one if we spend money on geoengineering research instead of wasting it on inefficient "clean energy".
That's because Facebook is full of bad actors sharing actual complete bullshit conspiracy theories, and the only thing a company like Facebook can possibly do is a make a "nothing that deviates too hard from the Official Line(tm) rule." Otherwise they have to get into the business of being some kind of scientific review board, which they are in no way equipped to do.

Bad faith propaganda at the scale we have seen recently is abuse of free speech, and widespread abuse of a freedom often leads to the curtailment of that freedom.

That's totally cool but the grandparent was talking about remembering shit they already knew. Not everyone has a fantastic memory, and remember the arguments are A then B or B then A doesn't deepen your understanding of a language.

I know quite a few female programmers. Almost all of them wanted to be something else, and only became programmers as a second choice.

Another thought: compared to other technical careers, programming careers are uncredentialed. No legal or even social prerequisites other than skill.

If you want to be a doctor, you must apply to college, be accepted to college, matriculate, graduate with a degree in sciences. Then you must take the MCAT, apply to medical schools, be accepted to a medical school, graduate, apply to a residency, complete the residency, and become board certified.

And then you are an entry level doctor, licensed to practice in a single state, with no job, no patients, no practice, and no insurance network contracts.

If any of those steps are sexist/racist, a woman or minority is less likely to make it past that step.

Programming doesn’t have as many gatekeepers. That’s good for people who have been kept out of things.

A great "tear down" of a really interesting device. I'd be curious how you ended up with this?

I'm sceptical that the satellite is Ariel 1 or Ariel 2 for two reasons: (a) Ariel was the British satellite programme, and I think that General Electric would have based the design on an American satellite. (b) Ariel 2 was build by Westinghouse, a rival to GE. My guess would be that it's a generic design, but I would love to hear an update if you find out for sure.

(I'm interested in the Ariel satellites, particularly Ariel 3, since I've ended up with a few of the original Ariel 3 telemetry tapes from the STADAN tracking stations. Still trying to work out a viable way to read / understand them...)

Seems to me that all private transactions are contracts. Contracts are meaningless unless they can be enforced. I’m not aware of any practical mechanism to enforce contracts other than the threat of state violence. Ostracising people who break contracts might work in a small community but wouldn’t scale to a large one.

My understanding is that HN has no shortage of libertarians. Maybe one of them could tell us if there’s an alternate way to enforce contracts.
I assumed it was trained on source code that was explicitly licensed with a permissive license. Are they training it using private unlicensed repos also?
Great point about of the value of mentorship, legacy, chain of knowledge. The emotional landscape can be complicated, scary, and full of conflicting information. Having a trusted example of something working is a huge advantage.

Take Donald Trump as a (not entirely positive) case study. Without the example of his father, he would never have had the confidence to be so scummy and provocative, or to desecrate the role of president.

I'm sure there are plenty of nice examples out there too. That's just where my head jumped to off the bat.
I think the real issue is on whether we need to fix the symptoms. I think most everyone agrees we need to fix the systemic issues (just not on the details on how to do that), but disagreement is on fixing the symptoms.
Unfortunately, you probably need to add "and true" to that list, which makes the "non-deletable" requirement less clear-cut.

There is no algorithm for truth, so in practice you need a way of allowing groups to form consensus about the validity of claims relating to pieces of data in the system. A claim might be "The image with hash ABC123 is a deepfake."

It might be possible to layer a system with that amount of nuance on top of a blockchain, but you need to be really careful that your system won't end up making the world much worse before it has a chance of making it better.
