If you sent the content to a newspaper and they posted it in the relevant section the newspaper would be liable. Those things aren't as distinct as they were made to be.

What i had in mind is the fact that on facebook you have a mix of posted newspaper articles (which are first-party elsewhere and thus someone may be legally liable for them) along with official/governmental first parties, politicians, heads of state, scientists , and random users most of which cannot be legally challenged, at all. And this is done intentionally because facebook has made great effort to get its users to read / post news articles so as to make itself a news source. Plus they apply filters and annotation to give the false impression that the information they provide is the "correct one". This is "publishing via moderating"

I think 230 makes a very basic ontological distinction between "people whose opinion matters/has impact and therefore must be regulated (press)" and "people whose opinion doesnt matter (random users)". That is not so. This allows malicious actors to hide behind "i'm just a user".
I'm not sure I'm following: are you saying that the current president should be believed, or the former one? Similarly, are you saying that either president has cited classified information that directly contradicts the media's reporting on COVID-19?

To my recollection, neither president has forcefully declassified any evidence that supports the more egregious claims made about COVID (that it was intentionally leaked). In the mean time, there seems to be ample & bipartisan willingness among the general public to at least entertain more benign "accidental leak" theories.
The centralized organisation serving as a conduit between the government and Muslims is the Islamic Association of China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Association_of_China Among other things, it has produced an official translation of the Qur'an, published by China Social Sciences Press http://www.csspw.com.cn/booksclass_159590_1_2__0_issueddate_...

You can try to monitor that an endpoint responds quickly but how do you monitor that it responds correctly? At the end of the day both tests and monitoring are forms of verification

Some people run (subsets) of their tests in production as a form of monitoring. Sometimes monitoring does not pass or fail and is instead qualitative like a dashboard or raw logging, without alerts

I’d say there is a grey area between monitoring and testing, it is more precise to ask if you’re verifying pre production, post production, or both
short biology explanation as I do not know how much the HN readers has.

We did not have the tools to do genetic manipulation as far s the physical techniques until recently...ie they were not around when I took biochem in 1990s.

HOWEVER, we still do not have enough concrete knowledge about this domain to reliably design anything on purpose including viruses organs ,etc.

Anybody that states otherwise is a danger to themselves and others. Blunt as I can put that.

No, it's known that Homo Erectus left Africa and colonised Eurasia up to East Asia a bit more than 2 million years ago.

The estimate on when "we" left Africa often means modern humans, Homo Sapiens.

I can imagine this plaque sitting somewhere in a corner of a less-visited part of a future museum. I'm thinking hundreds or one thousand years from now. Its significance not fully appreciated by the people walking or hovering by.

Today's internet may become a historical curiosity and one of the precursors to whatever interconnectivity exists at that time. Hopefully their 'inter net' is not plagued with the mistakes that we made.

Maybe my comment here will be posted right next to the plaque as a reflection of social sentiment. In which case, hello future people! Sorry about the heat.

Depends on whether your criticism was "we don't know for sure whether it happened" or "it did not happen".
I'm receiving downvotes too, but keep sharing your thoughts with details! I provided a life experience based on changing political parties, and people obviously aren't comfortable that they have created an illiberal web.

>And you are choosing to ignore the most unsavory aspects that have been raised in the west because your local media has told you otherwise.

I am in the west.

>Its absolutely true!

It absolutely is not.

>There are very strong analogies here with Holocaust denialism, which some states see as such a problem they outlaw the philosophy!

Yes agreed, people shilled for the Nazis just as you are now shilling for the modern day Nazis.

>It is not bigotry to stand up to authoritarianism and human rights abuses.

You are standing up for American authoritarianism and war mongering.

>You wield that term bigot to downplay the vast and monstrous human rights abuses occurring in Xinjiang. Its absolutely nothing to do with race or nationality. There is nothing intrinsic that would permit such actions to be attributed to this. It is not about bigotry. Connecting the two is all part of the metagame in pushing a state propaganda. Make your accuser seem less credible so you never have to address the actual substance of the complaint.

There are no human rights abuses happening in Xingjiang. It was all made up by Adrian Zenz. A mentally ill person who believes that he was chosen by god to rid the world of homosexuals and communists. You choose to believe this despite the overwhelming weight of evidence against it and the complete lack of any evidence for it. What is your excuse for this? You need to explain yourself. For me that answer is obvious, you are a sinophobic bigot.

>The reported incidents include Forced Labor and Sexual Abuse, Organ Harvesting and Genocide. On mass. This happened. This is happening. There is plenty of neutral international sources on this. Saying it doesn't exist is absurd. There is clear evidence of this!

All of the ridiculous claims have been robustly debunked, all of them, repeatedly. The only people left who repeat this absurd conspiracy are useful idiots for American imperialism and proud bigots.

It’s valid to say you’re e2e testing your system, just not e2e testing the “full system”.

This is why the classification of the test into e2e, integration, and unit can cause confusion. I like to try to encourage people to avoid bucketing and instead say “this test should be more integration style than it currently is”, “this test should be more isolated than it currently is”. At the end of the day all testing mocks out the user and things like old web browsers or other factors that are a part of the real world system you care about may not be simulated in your test, so the way to get ”real” e2e verification is probably monitoring real users, if you consider that the user is a part of your “system”
This. There's nothing wrong with using mature technology that is still being developed. LAMP is still a perfectly fine choice if it's what you want to use.
You’re assuming that because you were unaware of that evidence, that others were as well.

But we’ve known since the COVID outbreak that there was experiments making novel corona viruses infect humanized mice in Wuhan just before two of the WIV researchers got sick and a nearby military event also got sick. We’ve further known that COVID-19 has a DNA structure unlike natural viruses — matching a bat virus except for a single protein that appears to be from a pangolin virus.

It was always clear the preponderance of evidence pointed towards a lab leak — and that claims of a natural virus were special pleading by interested parties or a political stunt by media parties.

You were always irrational and acting based on propaganda to question a lab leak — it was the only reasonable and supported-by-evidence hypothesis the entire time.
There is a long chain of improbable coincidences required to believe that the virus came directly to humans from animal reservoirs in nature.

Coincidence 1.) Wuhan is roughly 1800 KM away from the caves in Yunnan province where previous bat-borne coronaviruses jumped to humans harvesting bat guano in earlier SARS outbreaks. It is a massive metropolitan area, and far more cosmopolitan than many westerners believe. They don't eat bats in Wuhan, and bats were never present at wet markets. Possible for a virus to jump from bats to humans here, but unlikely based on priors and the realities of horseshoe bats being highly unlikely to come into contact with urbanized humans at a level to transmit a virus that isn't adapted to human lung receptors.

Coincidence 2.) Wuhan has 2 different facilities where bat-borne coronavirus research took place. There are only a few of these labs in the entire world, and none others in all of China.

Coincidence 3. ) Unlike both SARS-1 and MERS, where animal reservoirs for both were found within months, almost 2 years later, no animal reservoir has been identified for SARS-2. Unlike both MERS and SARS-1, SARS-2 has never been particularly infectious to other animal species. SARS-1 in its early stages was still highly transmissible between bats. SARS-2 never exhibited this characteristic.

Coincidence 4. ) The evidence that would have easily exonerated the labs was deliberately destroyed by the CCP early in the pandemic, with extensive blocking of access to any and all foreign investigators.

Coincidence 5.) The same city where this outbreak occurred was a known location, based on other grants to EcoHealth Alliance, of researching bat coronavirus experiments involving the use of "humanized mice". No, "humanized" isn't some novel, sci-fi or conspiracy theory idea. They are genetically modified mice which are routinely used in research. The variety used in the lab were engineered to have human ACE-2 receptors lining their respiratory tissue. Sounds crazy, I know, but here's the grant summary (it was awarded) for the research, and notice the "humanized mice" at the very end of the text: https://reporter.nih.gov/search/xQW6UJmWfUuOV01ntGvLwQ/proje...

All of this evidence is circumstantial, but every day that goes by where no zoonotic reservoir is identified (the CCP isn't looking at all, because they know the answer) increasingly points to this being a lab accident and a subsequent coverup by a paranoid authoritarian regime, along with a scientific community desperate to prevent virology from being impacted the way nuclear energy research was by Chernobyl.
I would love to be able to plug in two locations and visualize on a map the path my packets would take travelling from here to there. A sort of visual traceroute.

One problem I've had with existing tools is that it's hard to find a server in a given place, even if you know that place has internet. For instance I was facetiming with my partner who is abroad in africa right now, but I'm not sure of a server to [traceroute] against in the country she's in.
>i wonder if the courts take into account how things have changed since 230 became law

One would hope that the courts follow the law. Anything else would be inappropriate, don't you think?
You're assuming the government has a different interest than him.

Emphasis mine.
> Nothing like being woken up at 2 am because Windows decided now is a good time to update.

while i understand the intention behind automatic updates, i feel it's an anti-user design. It is based on the assumption (a bad one) that the user isn't intelligent enough to do the update at a time suitable for them. It assumes that the windows design and dev team knows better. It takes control away from the user.

Rather than forcing automatic updates, it is better to teach the user why updates are important. Education beats subversion.
This is rather damning for other reasons that people may not even realize. DARPA is a rather fast moving agency, and DARPA grants can be fairly short term with a fast turnaround in comparison to say NIH or NSF. Thus for DARPA grants (and others, but especially DARPA), it's extremely common have already started some aspects of the research in order to make the timelines in the grant achievable. Thus as someone in a nearby field (not something with such hefty security issues, but bio-related), when I see it say that they wrote down they wanted to insert this site into the virus, that is a public admission that someone in some lab has already started gathering preliminary data showing that it could work.
> (I'm assuming, of course, that it wasn't the article title that got subsequently changed. If that was the case, ignore the above.)

Not the first time I've seen you say this. Would it be worthwhile to fetch articles when they're submitted, if only for your own sanity?
It’s the demonstration of malice that will make this suit fail. You have to show evidence that the alleged defamer knew their statements are false. You might even need to prove intent. Unless they dig up a Facebook email saying “We know this isn’t true but let’s screw Stossel” it’s going to be a hard case to win.
If you didn't find out about the meaning behing the naming: Småland (which also happens to be the county I'm from) can be directly translated to Small Land. So a land for the smalls, and the tradition of puns continue.

IKEA also originates from Småland, but not sure that matters in this case.

Wow, it seems the ball is really rolling on Linux compatibility. For reference, PUBG, Arma II/III, DayZ, Ark, Planetside, Rainbow Six Siege, Insurgency, Fortnite, Escape from Tarkov, and many others all use BattleEye. Without support, these games are either severely hampered, or completely unplayable on Linux.

Two out of the four top ten games on ProtonDB right now (PUBG and Rainbow Six Siege) use BattleEye, and don't work at all. The other two use EAC.
As an i7, is it quad core? I had a T440p with i7-4700MQ and it had terrible power consumption compared to prior and later Thinkpads I have experienced.

What I saw in powertop was that it never got into the better "package" power states. The cores could all be spending 90%+ of the time in C7 but the package as a whole was in C2 or worse. I never found a way to fix this.

Mine had the NVIDIA GPU as well as Intel iGPU, and I primarily used it with the iGPU. The NVIDIA was of the sort that was not connected to a physical output, so it supposedly could be powered down when not being used. I had no way to truly verify this, of course.
I just went through the job search again, and I found the exact opposite to be true. for context, I went to a regionally-known (at best) state university and have just a few years of experience at a small company you've probably never heard of. so not quite "self-taught" but pretty far from what you'd think of as a the typical FAANG employee.

I applied to at least twenty roles at startups and small/medium-sized companies that seemed like a good fit for my skills and wrote thoughtful cover letters for each one. not a single one of those employers responded, not even to reject.

I also applied to a couple FAANGs, thinking it was a pretty long shot. but I ended up getting two on-sites, one of which I converted to an offer. there's definitely some truth to what people say about the unreasonable/irrelevant DS/algo problems, but I found it comforting to know for once what I was actually being assessed on.

not sure whether I got lucky with the FAANGs, unlucky with the smaller companies, or what, but just thought I'd share that anecdote. not the outcome I was expecting at the beginning of the process.
On this point: "Consider taxes on bonuses and stock."

Yes, but consider taxes on your current total compensation (less 401k contributions, HSA, and Cafeteria plans (e.g., dental)) versus offers you receive. Stock and bonuses are W2 income and taxed at your marginal rate. They aren't special. They may withhold more, but once you file, it's marginal.

We've definitively established that Clovis populations and all modern Native Americans are genetically related to Beringian populations out of Eurasia. It's reasonable to suspect pre-clovis populations probably came from much the same area, especially given that suggested pre-clovis lithics so closely resemble clovis traditions.

Additionally, the farthest east that we've found evidence of Australasian populations is the Solomon islands, some 7,000+ mi from South America. There's no evidence of habitation on the intervening islands until Austronesian peoples show up much later. As for Africa, we simply have no evidence for it whatsoever.

My bad, I didn't realize that Facebook's fact-checking worked that way, I thought this stuff was an in-house decision just using 3rd-party sources to help inform it. Thanks for the correction.

Given that information, I should revise: Section 230 will protect Facebook from liability for a 3rd-party-driven fact check, but even if it didn't this still doesn't look like it rises to the level of defamation for Facebook. So even if Section 230 was repealed, Facebook would still likely win this case (although Section 230 applicability will probably allow them to dismiss it faster).

I don't want people to think that this is obviously defamation, but Section 230 happens to be blocking Facebook from consequences. This being 3rd-party content makes Facebook's position much stronger, but I still think they would most likely win this case even if Zuckerberg himself had labeled the article as misleading under the direction of Facebook's board.

Consider that in state A there is a spot with two boys. Consider that in state B no such spot exists. Why is that?

Broadly, in state A from that position, the boys are on the outside AND inside. As you progress around the circle, they transition from inside to outside more or less smoothly. By rotating the most inside boy to be aligned with the most outside boy, you haven't mismatched any of the other boys enough to invalidate them as part of your count. Consider that in state B you discount the boy part in the position where in state A you counted 2 boys.

If that doesn't do it for you, can you describe what helped and where I added or maintained confusion?

Similar tech has been demonstrated many times before, with varying degrees of practicality.

Rather than separating the H2 from the O2, you can have microbes in the water eating dissolved H2, O2, and added dissolved CO2, and producing hydrocarbons that float to the surface for harvesting. You would harvest excess microbes, too, for animal feed. (You manage reproduction rate by control of trace minerals.)

This system uses ultraviolet radiation. If the catalyst is transparent to visible light, the panels could be behind it, and be made more efficient by the water cooling.
The Universe is a lot bigger than our galaxy though. Why is it more special to live near the beginning of humans populating the galaxy than, say, living near the beginning of humans populating that new subdivision they're developing out at the edge of my town?
It's been over a year for the initial trials, no long term issues yet. How long seems reasonable to you? What are you basing this timeframe on?

If covid is a low risk, then the vaccine, which is essentially just the immune response to covid without any of the actual viral damage, should be much more benign, yes? I'm failing to see the risk here.

The treatment regimens in current Ivermectin studies are usually daily dosage, for which there are no long term studies for humans. Prophylactic usage of Ivermectin is all over the place, but seems to mostly be within 72h of exposure, so several doses per week, which also doesn't have long term studies. Staying on antibiotics for long periods is generally a bad idea due to disturbing the gut microbiota.
That is simply not substantial enough to win a libel case. This is like someone saying "McDonald's hamburgers are the worst" and then someone else saying, "you said McDonald's hamburgers aren't good". You never said that -- in theory the worst burgers could still be good, but it's not an unreasonable take given no other additional context. The libel is simply not substantial enough.
Amazing, although I wish there was more direct Linux support for the platform.
