We never trusted politicians. We never trusted corporate executives.
We never trusted lawyers.

We used to trust that the large news organisations were somewhat self-correcting and accountable. The New York Times, Washington post, Wall st Journal, CNN, NBC, CBS, NPR, etc.

After the total lack of accountability for Iraq and WMD, for 2 decades of Afghanistan, The Russiagate debacle and you can add a hundred things you've seen clearly yourself to this list. Trusting these news organisations is pathologically insane. They're clearly very happy to fabricate, to repeat and amplify pure propaganda with no evidence as fact and pretend it never happened or we were all in it together as though readers/watchers being duped are the real problem.

This is the trust that changed. Lies "for the greater good" have a huge interest rate when the bill comes due.

Nobody was ever inclined to really trust Trump, or Clinton or Bush or Obama or Biden any more than Nixon. Why would you? They're politicians. We trusted the limits on their power and the idea that there was corrective feedback on the system somewhere.

We used to think we wouldn't be subject to pravda levels of lies from our "diverse" media sources. Maybe we were terribly naive when we thought that. Now we know there are true stories, well reported in the Times and the Journal for example but you can't assume that about any given story, especially if it affects military funding either directly or indirectly.

All the WMD pushing assholes appear to be back pushing the next war and again if you think that going to war is not such a great idea given the last few unmitigated disasters you clearly are carrying water for Bin Laden, I mean Saddam, I mean the Taliban, I mean Assad, I mean PUTIN!

Trump (damn him) wanted out of Afghanistan like the majority of Americans. Suddenly there's a totally false story, usually fabricated that he's ignoring PUTIN's bounties on US soldiers in Afghanistan to swing public opinion against the steps to get out.

Biden (let's go) agrees 100% with Trump and American voters that 20 years and 3 trillion is enough and continues Trump's work and gets out. The tone of reporting changes immediately and his popularity plummets.

Nobody "trusted" Biden.

Nobody "trusted" Trump.

Now many, many more of us from all political persuasions are very suspicious of the negative feedback mechanism to keep them in check because it has been abused so very, very badly.

Nothing like providing the raw footage and source documents to de-spin. Anyone doing that is the real focus of censorship.
If anything, the substack incentives are even worse. At least radicalizing was a second-order effect of Google/FB incentives. It's damn close to the first-order optimization objective for a company that depends on getting people so worked up that they'll pay to join a mailing list. (Who pays to join a mailing list?! never in my life....) Answer: the Most True Believers.
agree, science and big projects like these are very much underfunded. All the mars reconnaissance missions were thrown together on a shoestring budget.
The cost or "quality" of the PC is not a factor.

Just the simple fact that you have to manually install graphics drivers is a basic issue that you don't have to deal with on console. Just visit any of the PCgaming subreddits and you'll find plenty of examples to do with troubleshooting graphics issues, with people suggesting using Graphics Driver Uninstaller to try and completely remove conflicting driver versions etc.etc.

I remember when there were annoying stutters after the initial BF1 launch and one of the workarounds was to use task manager to change the CPU priority for the task. Here's an example thread for ModernWarfare https://www.reddit.com/r/modernwarfare/comments/j26zli/stutt...

Literally none of those issues affect console gaming. It's sit down and start gaming without any hassles within 15 sec of turning the machine on.

I've been a PC gamer for 30 years and it's a pain in the ass compared to console. With the new generation of consoles targeting 60fps, my final annoyance with console gaming has disappeared.
I agree, 1% is pretty high, but not ridiculous like EJ's 2% fee.

Many Robo advisors throw an RIA in for free, and they are in the 0.3% ER range. It's hard to get cheaper than that.

The only subscription based one I'm aware of right now is: https://planvisionmn.com/ They give you Fidelity's eMoney platform and you manage that part of it. They just help you with the planning part.
Its accurate in type but not degree. Obviously these security threats are not immediately life threatening. But the presumption that other companies have equally concerning security threats doesn't make these threats any better. It's also not clear that others have the same issues to this degree.
I had a lot of money in Wealthfront. It was not a good experience.

First they auto-opted me into some actively managed hedge fund thingy they cooked up. As part of this auto-optin, they caused a non-trivial taxable event. And the fees increased.

When I decided to bail and move my assets elsewhere, I was then left with 500 individual stock equity positions to deal with. What a mess. Took me a long time to sort out that mess and to get my assets into a more manageable situation for an individual. Of course to consolidate I had to take the tax event once they converted to long-term capital gains. I did a lot of this during spring of 2020 which was not a good time to be mucking with stock positions. I lost a fair amount of money.

Finally the tax-loss harvesting is not aware of outside accounts and technically you might be violating tax rules. My accountant ultimately told me over the phone that current reporting rules essentially make this unenforceable though...but he refused to put that in an email.
In this case, the free lunch at Google doesn't really compete with the other restaurants since there are a lot of other offices without a free cafeteria around.

If you look at the GooglePlex, there are no other offices around. It's just Google. Neighbors are a park and nature preserve, NASA AMES research center and a Highway.
"Why" won't meet the KPIs and metrics though.

Haven't 11 Oath Keepers been charged with "seditious conspiracy"[1]? Does that not come under the definition of "insurrection" - "a violent uprising against an authority or government"?

Another annoyance I have is if you are working on multiple Apple devices using different Apple IDs, you have to go in Bluetooth settings, disconnect and set up the AirPods as new on other machine. Have to do it again to switch back.

That would be horrible. Web hosting, sure. A Twitter clone, with (next to) no moderation‽ It'd better have better self-moderation tools than I've seen on any Twitter clone ever. A Twitter clone is a good environment for metric maximisation: what makes you click “share” thrives, being reworded and altered occasionally, in a manner analogous to evolution (but with a more deliberate mutation process than randomness). Something has to fight that process if you want the site to have value to anyone but sociologists.
I got instantly annoyed by the first few words of this comment, thinking you’d gone off on some tangent about rice… until I saw the last part. Well played!
Subsystem is specific terminology in the Windows ecosystem.

I don't personally think low inflation, or even deflation, are so bad, but that idea is at the heart of central bank policy frameworks.
"free shots"... hah those shots cost Tens of billions of dollars if not more. It was a totally worthwhile investment to make (we probably should have invested more in it) - but lets not pretend like there is nothing we could do about obesity if threw 100 Billion at the problem.
> What we really need is for every student to realize why math is useful

We need to do this for science education as well. The foundation of science that we need the population at large to be educated in is not the steps of the scientific method, how to dissect a pig, or the difference between a covalent and an ionic bond. It is instead logic, critical thinking, rationalism and empiricism, and why science is superior to "common sense". Yet for some reason our primary educational systems tend to focus on the what way more than this why.
Neither are robos. Rebalancing according to some rules isn't active management.

In this region, there aren't many food/goods deserts.

Even the nowhereville my mom lives in has an H-E-B, Homeless Despot home improvement palace, pharmacy, and greasy spoon restaurants.

I have seen grocery store "deserts" in tiny towns (<2k people) populated by dollar stores while grocery stores are 10-40 miles away. That's the price of living in rural areas. There are other areas in the US where Walmart came in, destroyed local independent businesses, and left.
If there is no pure alternative, then these problems are not unique to legacy/traditional/corporate/entrenched media, and therefore have nothing to do with them being in the mainstream.
Hats of to The Guardian, their coverage of the climate crisis is excellent. I sincerely hope that they will be able to keep up the good work, because factual coverage is becoming a rarity.

> The disparity in open, original research output of US vs China is massive, and virtually all research done "in collaboration" with Chinese scientists is for malicious purposes of the CCP.

You don't know what you're talking about here. The quality of scientific research in China has been rapidly improving, and China has world-leading research groups in many areas now. There is plenty of productive collaboration between Chinese and American scientists. This sort of international collaboration has historically been encouraged. The ethos of science is international and open.

> Did you just make this up?

It came out during the pre-trial motions. The government did not dispute the fact that Prof. Chen was paraphrasing someone else, because that was plainly the case.

As for the rest of your comments, I can only shake my head and wonder what gives rise to such irrational hatred.

The issue are patched drivers that are not ported when new kernel releases are introduced.

Apple, somehow, managed to avoid these problems on their SoCs.

Honestly, they shipped results. And judging by the difference between offers from Qualcomm and Apple, are in a different league.
Agreed. Fines as a way of funding is almost always bad. If that money was to provide relief to aggrieved customers, that would certainly be different.
Sounds like a good plan. Let the speculators take losses on their carry earnings while labor continues with their paltry salaries anyway.

That's an overly negative comment for a project that yourself said learned from Hubble mistakes. They are exactly trying to avoid Hubble mistakes by being able to correct mirrors in absurd units, and much more. I get the idea that failure levels are so high that "everyone" get a drug shot from them. I just expected better. Hope, if you wanna call it in some way, with evidence that indicates that things are going good.
Ask HN: UK- Gsuite Legacy Users – can you enter a UK address when upgrading?

> Is there any data which shows Facebook is not compliant?

Maybe they are. The case is the Sword of Damocles. If they're compliant, it hangs over them to keep them that way, to be settled for a nominal fee some years from now. You'll know non-compliance if the sword comes down and chops off their arms and legs.

> If anything Apple is definitely more non compliant and has publicly opposed FBI requests for data even in cases with poor optics and pushed publicly more for e2e encryption and user privacy over law enforcement needs.

That's a different fight. Unelected officials trying to score PR points in favor of increased spying powers, as opposed to elected officials who have different means and goals.
The same thing can be extended to any product to an extent: You must always improve, or no one will know that you even exist. MS Windows, MS Office, and recently twitter with their NFT profile pictures are some of the things where developers seem to desperately cramp in an improvement. What if you have the perfect platform? You become forgotten.
Wow they could have definitely prepared more..
Yes that was my experience. And it sucked. I had 500 individual stocks to deal with.
education is not about implementing everything you learn. it’s about teaching you how to learn and giving you a basic shallow understanding of EVERYTHING. i use things i learned in school ALL THE TIME!

When you say “imperial system” you almost certainly mean US Customary Units. These are not the same system. The United States has never used the Imperial System. Also, US Customary Units have been defined in terms of SI units since 1893.

Recently my Hue bulbs have decided to sometimes all show as unavailable in HomeKit, which is annoying. They normally revive themselves in a few minutes but I can’t figure it out.

Unfortunately no other home automation platform (Google, Amazon) lets you keep everything on your local network, and using Home Assistant would make using Siri for it harder, so I’m stuck with an annoyingly buggy platform.
FYI the kit you linked shows the M5Stack Core1 and shows EOL. The Core1 has been replaced by the Core2 which has improved hardware. I bought the Amazon bundle of the Core2, which is yellow, and separately ordered the modules I was interested in from M5Stack directly including the bottom board and the QWERTY keyboard.
Perhaps they'll have better luck than they had in 2016.
Nowhere did the OP say they shopped at Lidl. You seemed to have put those words in their mouth, not once but twice. You seemed to have taken the OP's comment very personally for some reason.

Berlin has many wonderful things going for it but Berlin is not known as being some bastion of great food. Nor is known as a food destination. There's a reason for that.

>"Restaurants are what you make of it, goes from basic to fancy and the basic ones are, well, basic."

What does that even mean? Some of the best restaurants in places like NYC, Austin and LA are "basic" restaurants but the food is delicious and cheap. From noodles, pizza, bbq, burgers, tacos, etc.

You comment about apples is really bizarre. The US has some of the best produce in the world, from local farmer's markets to giant Whole Foods. You can also find organic produce at nearly every market these days.
No, you need to be patient, persistent, and keep making content. I just crossed 50K subscribers and 3 million views for a Python for Finance tutorials channel (https://youtube.com/parttimelarry).

> It's okay to call a republican supreme court what it is, we all know that these justices wouldn't hesitate to issue a novel injunction if it were second amendment rights being trampled.

Do we? It was like five minutes ago that two Republican Justices used textualism to decide that Congress had already made discrimination based on sexual orientation illegal back in the 1960s. Virtually every time you see a Justice go wobbly in some major case, it’s a Republican appointee.
"never trustworthy to begin with" seems similar to the No True Scotsman[1] fallacy.

I've been in religious circles where it's very important to defend the idea that once you believe, you're saved. But there's a darker side to that idea, because in order to maintain belief in the face of someone doubting and leaving the faith, everyone in the faith explains it away with "Oh, they never Really Believed in the first place."

Many countries have public media organisations that are funded by taxes or a license fee, and run in the public interest without a strong profit motive. The BBC is a well-known example, but many countries have their own version.

I don't think this is a solution though. These organisations are distrusted just as much as anything else.

> higher proportion of severe illness among the unvaccinated

No, among the unvaccinated and uninfected, which, as the data others have been giving shows, is nowhere near even a majority of the unvaccinated any more, let alone enough of a majority to treat it as if it represented all unvaccinated people. So your claim that the unvaccinated but infected are too few to matter and should not affect vaccine recommendations, let alone vaccine mandates, is egregiously wrong.

After doing linear algebra for many years in grad school, I had a weird situation of memory. I was working with inverting a matrix and reading up on gaussian elimination. I realized I had completely forgotten, or at least repressed, a high school class where we learned gaussian elimination. I had completely forgotten (or rather, removed from immediate memory and thus not a candidate for a solving technique) it because it was boring to me at the time!

On the other hand, my biggest memories of school math was factoring polynomials (which I have never ever done after) and determining if limits diverged (ditto).

The other thing I learned and repressed was constraint solving. We did any number of constraint problems using various techniques and then years later, when I learned about integeger and linear programming, felt a strange feeling of deja vu.
