I think it's injecting judgement and morality into news. Once news is flavored by political views and moral judgements people will pick the sources that show the correct reprehensible behaviour based on their world view..

One good attempt I've seen a while back was Sagar Enjetti and Crystal Ball with a show called 'The Rising' - It's on YouTube but produced quite well.. The guy has a republican tilt and the girl supports democrat politics and they have a very good rapport with each other - which results in both calling out holes in each others argument without being adverserial..
I have a hunch that at some point, there'll be an investigation and a discovery process, and we'll learn that the training dataset deliberately _excluded_ emergency vehicles because they didn't represent "normal driving" or something.

That's purely uninformed speculation, but I could see it happening like this: Early on, someone says "The totality of situations encountered on the road is too complex. We're not building a system to do everything, we're building it to take over during the boring parts of a drive. Only teach it the boring stuff." Then a few years later, someone else, forgetting those initial assumptions, says "Hey this thing has done like a billion miles of boring stuff, why wouldn't you trust it for more?"
Sad this is being downvoted. When you assume anyone or any consensus is infallible you have kings and endless appeals to the authority. The reason we have made unbelievable scientific progress is because we follow sone rules:

1) no one is an authority on the truth.

2) no one is infallible.

3) we can change our minds when new evidence occurs

This doesn’t mean everyone’s opinion is equal or that truth doesn’t exist. Credibility is important. Method is important. Reproducibility is important. Consensus is important.

It’s more difficult today because of the ease of mass communication. But in the end we are better off taking the long, difficult, and often infuriating road to finding the truth. The alternative is an inquisition and worse.

The truth will always rise to the top, eventually, this way even if we are wrong along the way.

What's the sensation inside the boat? Noise? Impact? Momentum change?

I imagine it'd be like being on a glacier, hitting another glacier.
This is true but there is still a difference. How do you know if that protection is working? With NAT, if it's online then basically the only way is if NAT was used.

With a firewall then I have no idea. I guess you have to check on the router, and maybe do some kind of online test? Can't imagine grandma doing that.

I do think a firewall is a cleaner solution but it's definitely true that NAT is way more foolproof.
There is probably an inflection point we've silently passed, where increased consolidation, high standards of living, and diminishing value in additional productivity mean that we can reduce the amount of work we need to do. However defending it will also require bold coalition building and trade policy. Countries that want to give their citizens a better life through shorter work weeks cannot do so if they're competing against other countries where workers are willing or forced to commit to 996 hours. Defending a better work week means enacting tariffs or other controls against trade partners that don't share the same policy, just as we should with offshored environmental violations.

What happens when the auto braking engages? Does it just slam the brakes on and stop dead? Wouldn't that be a big risk of you getting rear ended by someone behind you (especially if it's a false alarm)?
Again depends on the book. Some textbooks might be fairly valuable which students might sell to their juniors after they are done with its use.
Are you using it for full text search over the available domain names? What are you using as the embedding layer to be typo tolerant?
So in that case, wouldn’t the right way to handle it be to get a warrant to have Cloudflare give you the identity so that they can be prosecuted under copyright law? And if there is no law being broken, Cloudflare doesn’t have a responsibility to do anything. You wouldn’t want a company to reveal your identity just because someone asked nicely. You’d want a judge to approve a warrant.

The role of families in history is sadly under-reported.

I'll bet a lot of interesting stuff would come up if that angle were properly mined.

Probably hard to get funding for it, though.
El Salvador uses the Lightning network to avoid the high BTC transaction fees and slow settlement time.
That horizontal scrollbar (Chrome/FF) is criminal.
Replying defensively was a surefire way to prove that you'd missed the point. I'll give that you truly embody the salesman ethos, at least. Unfortunately, that includes a tendency to try to spin potential negatives into positives. What that means is that anyone aware that you are attempting to "sell" cannot trust your characterization of events. And so, I do not.
> It is not matter of belief, it is a matter of understanding, wrapping theorems and facts.

That's true of most of the "hard sciences" like physics and chemistry. Climatology, however, is unfortunately full of beliefs and incredibly lacking when it comes to theorems and facts. Part of that is just due to the inherent difficulty associated with making inferences about climate history using a relatively limited amount of data from modern, accurate instruments. Add to that some extremely biased incentives in the institutions and governments funding climate research, and you're no longer in the same ballpark as the other hard sciences.

I'm not saying it's all wrong or that the climate isn't changing (I think it is to some degree), but the one thing climatology has proven most convincingly over the years is that its prevailing predictions tend to be wrong – and not by an insignificant margin.
"I actually disagree with this. When the company is forcibly broken up there's a chance that it's "power" (what?) is reduced but if we look at Standard Oil, that quicky is shown to be not-what-happened. SO became Esso and Mobil, who became ExxonMobil, and ostensibly went right back to doing what it did best (owning most of the domestic oil market). Breaking up the company doesn't actually change the practices or culture of what got the company there in the first place. The new companies which are spun off oftentimes don't even know how to operate as companies and so they're easy pickings for the nucleus of the original company."

You realize there is about 88 years between step one and step two there?

"The same thing for smoking. If we look at smoking as "I light something on fire and jam it into my food hole" then yes, the numbers look promising according to the CDC website. If you look at a Vice article (https://www.vice.com/en/article/8xxx83/the-shady-link-betwee...), however, all the tobacco companies did was shift their business into providing alternatives to cigarettes. But they're still made from nicotine. It's just smoking without the smoke. That's the other reason why they're pushing so hard to regulate vaping - the idea that there's an "open source" "anyone can make this" alternative simply cuts out their business."

Do the new products cause as much harm as cigarettes?
What's the source for this claim? Are you accounting for the fact different classes of vehicle have differing accident statistics (e.g. comparing teslas to similarly old and expensive alternatives), and that autopilot's miles are not a random sample of all driven miles?
Climate can be modeled consistently ? You must have missed the hundreds of models that predicted nothing and that we conveniently hide from view to cherry pick the ones that worked. Completely ridiculous statement.
At some point, you just have to believe, if you want to go much deeper, you get into epistemology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology
I read in another HN thread, that some Tesla owners have experienced "ghost braking," and have adopted the technique of holding their foot just above the accelerator, in order to counteract it.

When I read that, I made a mental note to slow down a bit if a Tesla gets behind me, so they will pass me. Usually that's not a problem, as I don't drive particularly fast.

I don't know if this is an issue with other brands of cars. My fancy new Subaru has never ghost-braked.
"The one on my 2016 C-class Mercedes was so bad that it almost caused two accidents. If not for years of pingpong..."

Care to elaborate? Both how it nearly caused an accident, and how you avoided one seem interesting!
Why reset passwords for salted hash leaks?
I noticed that after the recent Twitch leak people suggested changing passwords for both Twitch and other sites where you use the same password.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious but given that they only stored a salted hash, how can hackers get your password? My understanding is that using a salted hash should prevent them from using either a rainbow table or dictionary attack.
Yes, at least some do, and they recently disabled it in a recent software update
Not to mention science doesn't consider all opinions equal or worth publication in standard journals, etc.

How likely is it that Congress or any regulatory body would be asking for whistleblowers if none ever talked to the press?

What’s conclusive is that more greenhouse gases means higher temperatures.

What’s not conclusive is the doomsaying and specific claims about the future and present. A great example of this is California’s governor blaming forest fires on climate change, and another one is the signs predicting certain glaciers would melt.

I never thought HTML, CSS etc could be redesigned (let alone replaced). HTML can be so nasty when you have to add styling in the tags; it kills the point of using xml. Best we could do is define styling in a different css file, but then the style is pushed to a huge dungeon and is left for us to make sense. That is why I think this is so cool. Never seen so much done by writing so less.
It is absolutely batshit crazy to start a business with new but immature tools like Pony. Unless investors are throwing money at you and you don’t care about building a long term successful business. All developer tools take years to become solid and well supported. And most of them fail to get any major developer mindshare. If you think your unicorn snowflake project needs a new immature but oh so shiny programming language to be successful then you are simply wrong. Not even “likely to be wrong” but 100% guaranteed to be wrong.
Would the gym threaten litigation to a former member who writes blog against fitness?

I'm fine with Facebook closing this developer's account, I'm not fine with the developer being forced to make his tool disappear, under the threat of litigation.
Assumption: cooking isn't interesting or enriching.

I think you could replace HN time with cooking, and it would be both more interesting and saving money definitely makes it more enriching
A while back a representative of one of the major US political parties said that "My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." - when the government is constantly defunded more power is handed to private corporations. Somebody has the authority at the end of the day - you can't have a vacuum of authority - since the government has been restricted from actually being responsible for reasonable platform creation we've ended up in this bad timeline where mega-corps are the arbiters of speech instead.
You won't get the characteristic texture of sliced bread without sugar or some replacement. Its primary role isn't really sweetening.
If someone ships drugs through UPS, and it sits in a UPS warehouse for a few days, did UPS store drugs? Technically yes, but should they be liable for that?
I haven't tried cold water so I'm not sure what it's like, but this would be highly dependent on climate. Up north in the winter, cold water is quite cold. Of course, if the pipes go though interior walls for a very long distance through your living space before reaching the toilet, then you'll have a decent temperature unless you flush (or run the sink, etc.) just prior.

"Old work" electrical boxes are specifically designed to be added without tearing apart the drywall (other than making a clean hole, obviously). The lack of romex staples over a fished wire in such scenarios is typically acceptable by code. Now if the bathroom isn't immediately above a basement or immediately below an attic, it might indeed be impossible to avoid some demo.

They protect you from DDoS attacks, except:

• They see – and usually HTTPS MitM, all the traffic. (I trust them not to abuse that… just about.)

• When Cloudflare goes down (which it does), lots of stuff goes down at once. Your redundancy is for nothing.

• Centralisation of power enables abuse of power; no matter how good you are, you will abuse your power. I (a generally well-meaning person) have relatively little power, so my small abuses basically harm nobody. Cloudflare has massive power, so its small abuses can harm tens of people each.

• Their CAPTCHA walls reduce accessibility, discriminate against Tor users, and make Cloudflare-“protected” sites unusable on a wide variety of systems. Since Cloudflare's the only Cloudflare, a webmaster who doesn't like this basically has to lump it.
I wonder too. What if you believe and have models that say:

1) yes CO2 warms the atmosphere. This is reproducible.

2) the climate will warm.

3) but it doesn’t really matter according to these particular models.

It turns out there are climatologists that have models they interpret this way. Are they banned? Is this denialism? Do you have to agree it’s a “crisis” or can you agree it’s happening but it doesn’t make a big difference
OP is obviously talking about CEX since it’s not possible for a DEX to have a USD market (like the above mentioned USDT/USD).

As for DEXs being manipulated, absolutely not sure why you believe that’s the case? This has nothing to do with DEXs and everything to do with margin (which is coming to DEXs).

DEXs and AMMs make it much more expensive to provide liquidity in terms of capital efficiency versus CEXs, and thus more vulnerable to manipulation. But without margin, there’s not much economic benefit for a bad actor.
There's a lot of shipping in that region.

A lot of cargo containers are lost overboard. They don't all immediately sink to the bottom (sealed air, bouyant cargo, etc)

What's the sonar signature of a 40 foot shipping container that's just floating below the surface? Are you even going to hear it without going active?

What kind of damage does that do, if your submarine plows into it, even at a slow speed? My understanding is that the bow isn't entirely metal, that there's fiberglass (or something similar) where the sonar equipment is located.
One problem is that people couldn't really agree about spam and content moderation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancelbot

Many Usenet users felt that there doesn't need to be a worldwide consensus about this (it's OK if different sites have different policies or different views of the contents of a newsgroup). However, the deployed attempts at antispam and content moderation through cancelbots and counter-cancelbots didn't scale very well or to many users' satisfaction.

I also think that moderated groups had a challenge with authenticating moderation (to prevent people from spoofing approvals).

Another scaling challenge, I think, is that Usenet originally had the model that there would be one single worldwide discussion forum about each topic. In later systems people often wanted friend-group-based, geographically-based, or project-based forums as well (although Usenet did end up having some of these, like organizationally-scoped news hierarchies!). It's daunting to imagine being on the one single worldwide talk.politics today.
"As for what the submarine hit, details remain limit. U.S. officials have reportedly said that there are no indications at present that the "object" was another submarine. "An official who requested anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak on the record said that the area’s topography at the time did not indicate there was a land mass in front of the boat," Military Times reported."

Let's take a look at the page around this time two years ago.

Landing page: https://web.archive.org/web/20191002202720/https://ocaml.org...

From which you can click through to the Install page: https://web.archive.org/web/20190819032815/https://ocaml.org...

Over there the second and third lines are:

> The OCaml compiler and libraries can be installed in several ways:

> - With OPAM, the OCaml package manager (recommended).

That points you to the opam install instructions, which looks pretty similar to what it does now.

Look, I agree with you that OCaml installation and tooling are not the easiest to get into. But it wasn't like what the GP was making it out to be.
Except the risk is not 0 if you don't have comorbidities.

People keep throwing this statement out as though somehow the risk of vaccination is higher then the risks due to viral infection. It is not.

The risks of adverse reactions to COVID infection is reduced across the board if you are fully vaccinated regardless of your health status.

Also worth noting: plenty of young people have comorbidities they don't know about yet, because they haven't found them. It is actually quite difficult to exclude yourself from the "has comorbidities" risk group apriori. A common one is in fact undiscovered heart conditions for people in their 30s, since they usually only become an issue later in life when symptoms are more likely to present.
I know of an ATM that claims to deal in bitcoin, in the basement of a government building in the US. I don't know how it works though, as I haven't tried it.
"Many of said chemicals have less well-studied health effects than those in tobacco."

This is about the only known-to-be-true statement in that paragraph.

Pure nicotine is dangerous, and I see someone else has discussed the "witches brew".
That's a lot of confidence to have in a very broken system given the replication crisis, ineffective peer review process, excessive and pervasive paywalls, and general high barrier to entry.

Lots of alternative scientific journals exist. Climate change denial is, in fact, well financed. There's nothing about a youtube ban that prevents alternative scientific research, even into things I'd considered absurd and despicable.
They said the debt isn't with Evergrand. That being said, there's no way to verify that, and when Evergrande falls apart it's likely the entire chinese bond market will.
I've been using it with a couple of other people and testing transfers between private wallets, chivo wallets, conversion between USD and BTC in small amounts, it hasn't failed on me yet.

I've also bought in a supermarket with it, again small amounts 8.00 USD to be precise (avocados and some other stuff), a lot of businesses take BTC now, some of these businesses are:

- Super Selectos (biggest supermarket chain here in ES)

- Walmart (second biggest supermarket chain here in ES)

- Siman (electronics, furniture, clothes)

- ZARA (clothing)

- Starbucks

- Mcdonald's

- Pollo Campero

these are just some examples, a bunch more are taking BTC payments from chivo wallet and really any LN compatible wallet.

you can take your money out of the government wallet by:

1. linking your existing bank account and transferring USD to your bank

2. cashing out in one of the 200 ATMs

3. transferring your BTC to a private wallet

for me personally, superficially it works, the inner workings are opaque tho, I don't expect every BTC in government wallets to actually be backed by an actual BTC for example, the government does not have enough BTC to cover the $30 USD in BTC bonus they've been giving out, and not every BTC you get in the chivo wallet is reflected somehow in the blockchain.

again my use has been pretty limited, I've day-traded with really small amounts, I've read people complaining about bank transfers taking a few days or not working at all (balance disappears from app, does not appear on bank), or ATMs being out of cash, or ATMs subtracting amounts from wallet and not giving money, I have not tried to do any of these yet though

other issue is security, the facial verification seems to be a facade so anyone with your DUI (similar to SSN, but it is public knowledge) and your birth date can claim your account and your $30 bonus if you haven't, and also potentially make financial transactions with your ID tied to them.
I must say I do enjoy the mental image of a mad scientist throwing a big old blade switch and browning out the neighborhood to....make cider.
Yeah but where do they run to? I could see dark money having to run into BTC and ETH because real dollar redemption is a problem if you operate out of China for example.
Very true. The doomsayers are part of a cohort that feels like a left-leaning QAnon, but they have somehow avoided that label and enjoyed legitimacy. Those who try to draw nuance on the topic of climate are often viciously attacked for it. For example a blog post claiming that climate change is a serious issue but not an existential threat (https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2019/08/is-global-warming-exi...) resulted in activists trying to pressure this university into firing this professor. Meanwhile, children who have repeatedly heard doomsayer messaging are experiencing extreme anxiety to a point where it is affecting their daily life and function (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/sep/14/four-in-...). Of course, none of that messaging will be subject to fact checks, demonetization, or bans.
Glad to hear! The data's pretty scattered which is why I wanted to build this in the first place. Right now, the site uses a combo of VC sites, crunchbase, linkedin, company career pages etc.

If crypto was only these people, I'd have more sympathy for them. But in reality, it's some of those people, and then tons of far more sophisticated people who are trying to take advantage of the rubes. In the end, the Tether people will make out like bandits, and everyone else will be left holding the bag. It's like justifying Madoff because of the desperation of elderly people to extend their savings.
Are developers the new blue-collar workers? I haven’t seen a similar program for aspiring lawyers, doctors or accountants. Aren’t we too eager to commoditize the profession?
