Note that Allsides exists to present the news as a balance. That's what they're selling. Not that this automatically makes them wrong, but it predisposes their perspective as seeking equal and opposite dichotomies.

Just for comparison, the commonly-cited Ad Fontes chart puts CNN as "skews left" and OAN as "hyperpartisan right".

https://adfontesmedia.com/static-mbc/?utm_source=HomePage_St...

I will note, however, that Allsides is based on the web content, not the TV content. The Ad Fontes chart puts CNN's web and TV presence in about the same place, but OAN's as just "skews right". (More to the right than CNN's left, but given the vagaries of the definitions it's reasonable to put them in the same place.

It's remarkable that they put the OAN web presence slightly to the left of Fox News. Though this puts them just straddling the line of "hyperpartisan": OAN web to the left of it, Fox to the right.

I would be interested to hear more about the development of the drug, (How much of the total research costs were born by the government? Did the government start the research, or merely contribute funding to an extant program?) and what specifically Ridgeback & Merck did "to develop the drug as a Covid-19 treatment". (Was this drug an obvious candidate for a COVID treatment, or are we only getting it because of Ridgeback?)

If the article's depiction of the situation (i.e. if the government really paid for the bulk of research, and these companies just swooped in to claim the rewards without much of a contribution) is accurate, then it seems like it would make sense to limit them to some reasonable markup.

The root issue here, as far as I can tell, is that government institutions license its IP without protecting the public interest in what is, effectively, public property.
I was curious whose land it is based on your comment, found this document that helped me understand the circumstances: https://www.sierraclub.org/sites/www.sierraclub.org/files/sc...

The Anishinaabe people did cede all of this land the pipeline is on to the US Government in the 1800's. However it came with the requirement that they retain the rights to hunt, fish, and gather wild rice there.

So while it is technically the government's land to do whatever they want with, I can understand the argument that building a pipeline across the land and rivers could impact their ability to hunt, fish, or gather on the lands.
Most properties need to be gutted and remodeled around once every 50 years or sooner so construction that is easily remodeled, sometimes in dramatic ways, is more optimal. That said may europeans live in old structures that are very suboptimal but they call it "character." Also most of the biggest houses built by european nobility over the centuries are now only usuable as museums, or as commercial conversions as schools or hotels, and again it's mostly about character rather than convenience and capability.
But 480 is 2*240, so it's definitely a close contender.
No because the level of support that we need to provide is the same regardless of country. We sometimes can offer discounts of course.
you have to compare (at least) two independently sourced copies of any document to make sure it hasn't been adulterated by third-parties in-transit

attribution doesn't even have to be hidden: if it's easy enough for someone to stamp unique watermarks for every person's copy of their pdfs, it's just as easy to ++/--/randomize any field, which can just as easily reveal the source (only employee xyz had value 123.010 in field abc, everyone else had 123.01 or 0123.01)

Pressuring NSO's customers is well and good, but I fear this madness will continue until America and Israel's other allies find the political will to sanction Israel for permitting the criminal organization known as NSO to operate with impunity. So... no end in sight.
The App Store policies were always for the benefit of customers (and Apple). These policies will keep happening because the basic incentive of Apple's business model has been unchanged since 2008.
It’s called the sunken cost fallacy- a great one to be aware of. It can (initially) be counter-intuitive too many people.

I'd highly recommend Darknet Diaries [0] to get a bit more colour on the NSO group for those that are interested. The relevant episodes are #99 & #100.

It seems like a lot of the NSO group's customers (a lot of which are authoritarian/corrupt governments) abuse the system and there's no real check on that power. The host mentions that officially the company has said that there have been 'only 3 instances' of abuse of its systems that they've detected and he goes on to expose how blatantly false that is. Anyways this is now all third hand info - I'd highly recommend checking out the podcast (not affiliated, just a fan).

You can still have a monorepo and restrict who has access to certain parts of it. You just have to build the tools to do it.

Google, for example, has a small number of subdirectories in the tree that only certain engineers can view (the really sensitive stuff, like the actual ranking algorithms for search and ads) but the build system is setup to allow you to still link against it.
Even if the patrol officers had no idea they were being paid by the pipeline company, the chief of police surely would know. And the chief would be able to direct patrols in certain locations or drive investigations into individuals of interest.
That’s super interesting. It’s counterintuitive but 480 has the same # of factors that 360 has (which is 24 factors)

That's my biggest use case for Privacy.com. I care less about the privacy aspect and more about the convenience. I've already had once instance where a single-use card I created for 1 specific vendor started getting fraudulent hits (declines) and all I had to do was delete that card.

Good documentary on Iter's claims by investigative journalist, Steve Krivit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnikAFWDhNw Shows that the public claims are not just an exaggeration but outright fraud for the purpose of getting more funding. It's one thing to say that the purpose is experimental research, it's another entirely to claim that it will produce net energy, which is not backed any evidence or even a reasonable scientific analysis. There's a long history of fraud in fusion research, it's really important the public is well educated on the history here.
Doesn’t seem that unreasonable. $712 for a course of medicine that reduces the death rate from COVID-19 by 50%?

The $17.74 they are comparing it to ignores the need to pay for R&D. How would drug companies pay for all the trials and science to bring new drugs to market (including the many candidates that fail but still required investment to see if they would work) if all drugs were sold at “cost” ignoring the investment of creating the IP in the first place?
because carbondating.com only serves the 70+ singles market
What it costs to fabricate the pill/tablet? Or 40x what the sum total of the R&D costs were?

Either way, that doesn't sound too bad. I must be missing something.
So, basically, you're telling me I'm better off NOT storing my Hyatt, Marriott and IHG cards in my digital wallet only because I use them once every few years? Why exactly is that? Why not store all the cards in the digital wallet?

It's actually a really good idea, because it's a different account number they gets stored on the device, so, even if your hotel card is compromised because of the hotel leak, the copy in Google Pay will remain active and available. So, I could use it right away on the once-every-two-years bonus category without any extra hassle.
Operating systems grinded to a halt a decade before Plan 9 came out.
I wish what you were saying was true, I wish that I didn't have to use a teletype emulator on Linux with no real mouse support, I wish I could do unprivileged resource organization (I'll give you ten minutes to try 'unshare', bind mounts, and "unionfs" on Linux before giving up).

It is pathetic that operating systems have remained crap for 30 years, but given that nothing has moved forward, there's no reason not to start with the newest operating system we have: Plan 9.
You got the real guide right here
A lot of people make the marginal taxes prior to Reagan argument but seem to dismiss, either through lack of knowledge or purposeful removal, the fact that prior to Reagan there were an incredible array of tax loopholes that lowered the effective tax rate, regardless of the stated tax rate.

The effective tax rate for the highest earners right now is not all that different than it was from the 50's to the 90's.

The thing that's changed is actually the effective rate on the bottom 50% - those taxes have increased.
Is anyone familiar with Robert Graysmith's books on the Zodiac Killer? The Fincher film "Zodiac" is based on Graysmith's research/obsession. I don't think the film mentions anyone named Poste at all. I'm wondering if he ever came across Graysmith's radar.
This is sadly true. Genuine social interaction is rewarding but not addictive, as evidenced by thousands of years of history. And there's not a lot of ways to profit from it. On the other hand, getting people to come back every day or every hour for messages that compel them to buy things or vote a certain way is priceless to the right bidders.
While you were writing your comment I realized the flaw in that argument and changed my point to place of work. This is a better anology because that is exactly what it is. The people doing the manual labor to install a pipeline aren't responsible for environmental policy. Go climb over the fences they had around Congress if you want to find someone to blame. However in that case they won't use less lethal rounds.
Did you read TFA? The author is not arguing that it's not worthwhile to fund fusion research; she's arguing against the misleading discourse surrounding it. "But it's still a step forward" is exactly the reason that science is misleading the public.

How could they possibly be attempting Q-total > 1 when they aren’t even near Q-plasma = 1 yet?

If the gain of the system overall is greater than Q-plasma, you’ve invented some other energy source in there somewhere and should throw away your reactor and focus on that thing. :D
Sorry but that’s a lousy argument.

The whole point about Apple (for decades) is vertical integration, building hardware and software specifically optimized for the said hardware. That’s what Apple is in it’s core, that’s why they’ve been revolutionizing industries and that’s why iPhones, iPads and MacBooks are most performant and battery efficient consumer devices for years.

It’s like saying - “There aren’t any good consoles really. Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo aren’t good console manufacturers when their consoles only know how to talk to other PlayStation/Xbox/Nintendo services and actively prevent compatibility with other systems.”
I had no difficulty unsubscribing from The Washington Post.
This raises one notable benefit of going through Apple for all payments -- as a customer, it buffers me from dark billing patterns of any random company. Companies like 37signals don't like it and claim it hampered their relationship with customers, and that might be true in some cases, but overall it seems like a benefit for customers to have a consistency process of buying, refunding, cancelling everything they use digitally.
It is! I guess using a password from Google isn't the best idea, and kind of defeated the point of what I wanted to ask (if your password isn't already hashed online how long does it actually take to break a sha1 hash), but definitely proves the point.

The proper bar for adding a pipeline across a landscape is putting enough money in a cleanup trust to handle any and all spill costs and compensation, up to the most catastrophic outcome, as well as EOL decommissioning. This trust must be controlled by the communities across whose lands this pipeline runs.

No pipeline in the United States currently meets this bar.
how can you be sure that they're good answers?
I feel like if this was the 2000s all over again, with ITER making headlines alongside some dubious claims of fusion being around the corner.

That might be possible, but it's likely more of a person to person difference than something that can be reliably used.

Even with people with PD, whether and how well DBS will work is variable, and even after it's put in, assuming it works for someone, programing is about finding a good balance between beneficial effects and unwanted side effects.

Even if there is a target to improve apathy, it'll likely come at the expense of some other unwanted side effects.
Can you just delete the key and local data? Is the requirement to push that deletion to all other SSB instances?

While interesting, the article you linked to doesn't really corroborate much of what you're claiming, though obviously I didn't post any sources at all in my claims.

Teenage boys are at a slightly higher than normal rate for myocarditis after the vaccine, but this is still far lower than the risks associated with COVID-19 itself: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/06/17/1007447...

It's also worth mentioning that many of these symptoms are caused by immune response and not the compounds of the vaccine itself.

It still sounds like you're over-inflating the risks of vaccines and deflating the risks of COVID-19.

You're still proposing herd immunity (of which we're not there yet) as a solution while ignoring the deaths and suffering that will occur until or if we reach that point. I find the ethics of that proposition questionable at best. It also ignores the higher lethality of COVID-19 compared to the flu: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2...

The more I hear people respond to or ignore the numbers, the more I'm convinced that most people just don't have a good number sense or sense of risk assessment.

1% chance of death from COVID-19? That fine. ~0.009% of myocarditis after receiving the vaccine which is close to the normal rate of incidence without the vaccine? Unacceptable.
Or a 0.15% probability of becoming 10x bigger. For things like this, essentially all the expected value is in the very long tail. I won't be buying shares any time soon, but more power to those who do.
I appreciate you sharing your experience.

Unfortunately(?) I picked prehung doors to go in (everybody was made aware of the installation environment), so I’ve got-what-I’ve-got at this moment. Unclear if I got suckered or not. I told my vendor what I was dealing with, where I wanted end, a never any flags raised. Getting help is like pulling teeth - this all seems simple enough (though I’m not going to assume there’s nothing to know - I’m no expert) which makes it all the more frustrating.
So, it's Apple's job to tell me how many cards I am allowed to have? And it's okay?

What are the privacy risks of Apple Pay over a contactless card? My understanding is the applet in the Secure Element operates independently of the system, and Apple does not collect data about where I transact.
Not so nice. If it was in the kilobyte range, or accessible, or fast, but neither it is.
I dunno. I cancelled the other day now that I no longer care about the pandemic data and it was basically just three minutes of politely stonewalling in a chat box saying “No Thanks, please cancel my subscription.” a couple of times.

I live in California and would have tried cancelling online but actually couldn’t find the option. I can’t say it was difficult to cancel though once I picked a process and initiated it. Maybe that was the online option now that I think about it? I was expecting a button or link.

Space solar is now something of a fossil idea from the 70s. At the time it was thought that solar panels would be comparatively expensive, and spacelaunch/space manufacturing would be comparatively cheap. But the economics changed out from under its feet: solar panels became a hundred times cheaper http://costofsolar.com/management/uploads/2013/06/price-of-s... but space stuff remained the same price. Now the most economical option is to put solar arrays on the Earth's surface, but build ten times more of them than you need.

Specifically, one of the killer engineering problems of space based solar is getting the power back to Earth. Tom Murphy wrote the canonical post on this: https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2012/03/space-based-solar-power/ Depending on what frequency you're using and how big the orbital antenna is, the receiving rectenna array is going to be a couple kilometers across. If you use a beam power density that isn't going to cook birds flying across the antenna, then you're not receiving too much more power than regular solar irradiation. The atmosphere eats some of the power, the receiving antenna eats some power, and then the rectified power has to be converted to AC, losing a few percent more power. Maybe 50% total transmission loss. For the cost of putting a million tons into orbit, you might want to just build more ground solar.
Death by robocar is simply unacceptable.

Death by shared responsibility is well accepted. It’s about agency and consent.

If you rescued a group of 30 drowning people with your yacht. No one thinks you can shoot one or two on the head, on a whim, and argue that it’s okay— based on the fact that your actions led to a net saving of 28 lives.

So, how you die matters. We human drivers are all out there making a reasonable effort to avoid accidents. The standard self-driving tech must be held to is also “reasonableness.” None of the deaths due to self-driving cars I have heard of can meet that standard. They are unacceptable.

Indeed many people do not remember that Android ecosystem at the beginning deliberately was on the side of the developer (and Google) as opposed to the user with its lax permissions and liberal access to the system and took its leisurely time to add more useful permission controls for years (location access was install time and you could not opt out of that specific permission unless you chose not to install the app at all).

Priorities matter.

P.S. I do see Apple business model changing to services bringing in some bad behavior associated with that: for instance, push notifications now are used as a spam/marketing mechanism for Apple services similar to Android; iCloud Storage nag is another example.
I thought it's a troll website because it took forever to load, not really cool IMO.
> Permitting apps to collect private data and have unrestricted internet access

What apps are left if this is forbidden?

"private data" can mean pretty much any user input. "unrestricted internet access" means pretty much any internet access.

We're left with apps that either cannot accept user input or cannot access the internet at all.
