When the NYT says something that is factually incorrect, they issue a retraction. Everything they do say is fact-checked, even if they make mistakes.

That's not even close to "lying".

"Misrepresentation" can be a grey area that blends into framing and emphasizing certain parts over others. I didn't include misrepresentation on my list, and that was intentional. You can disagree with how an event is reported without the report containing any actual lies--and that falls under "a matter of opinion."

Things bouncing around "Dem Twitter," whatever that means, are hardly the fault of the NYT or ACLU. Whatever was said, it didn't enter my bubble, in that I never saw a claim that Rittenhouse shot any black people.

But I don't find Twitter useful, so I don't follow anything on it. Instead I read the NYT, and while I don't always agree with their editorials, I generally feel the information they publish as news is as accurate as they can figure out how to make it.

> It'd be like ordering the USPS to open letters and report people if they plotted their stupid Dollar Store peasant rebellion using paper letters, or tapping everybody's phones.

No, it really, really isn't like that.

It's more like shutting down stations from using the licensed public airwaves to disseminate incitement to violence or to broadcast blatant lies--and then later argue in court that "no reasonable person" should have believed those lies. I'm sure you know the latter actually happened, and the former was the law of the land until Reagan managed to tear down the Fairness Doctrine. [1] Which was found to be compatible with the First Amendment, and the only reason we don't have law to replace the original FCC rule is that Reagan vetoed it.

Regardless, my point is that there is potentially a way to limit speech that doesn't prevent people from complaining about the government but that also prohibits people from outright lying about the government (or other facts).

I appreciate your honestly and clarity about your intentions.

Maybe this my biggest gripe when someone claims Julia is objectively better than Python or R. The answer to this question is highly subjective, heavily depends on whether you use VSCode or not, and people that usually answer this question are heavily invested in getting other people to use Julia.

But the answer is usually presented as an objective answer, and I guess that just kind of rubs me the wrong way.
It's kind of sad egoism that people think they are immune to misinformation or propaganda.

Mark Twain said something along the lines of it's 10x more difficult to convince someone they've been duped, then duping them in the first place.

Everyone, definitely including intelligent people, are very susceptible to propaganda and misinformation.
Transnistria is the interesting one. If Russia eventually goes into Moldova to 'liberate the Russians there' then we know the narrative around Ukraine was total bullshit (it's absolutely true that Ukraine treated those in separatist areas poorly for years).
Are formal declarations of war even a thing any more?
Yes but Ayn Randian free market capitalists insist that the only issue we face is regulation.

The point is that no, you cannot live in a utopia and have an unregulated market. The market will greed itself into non-existence.
>Did pointedly ignoring common usage add anything here?

Yes, there are plenty of words going though the natural process of dilution. Providing some backpressure is, I think, useful to the language to preserve the richness of meaning. I'm responding directly to a discussion about the meaning of a word not interjecting into another conversation with a "well, actually..."

When you're writing a dictionary, words mean what people use them to mean. I'm not writing a dictionary.

> If capital is increasingly owned by a small few, why should Young Americans care if their oligarchs are American or Chinese?

Here's why:

- Rule of law, including health, safety & environment.

- Minority rights.

- Free-ish speech.

- Mostly equal application of law.

Could say more, but you get the point.
> But, no, Trump isn't some clever Manchurian Candidate taking over our country on behalf of another country.

A claim neither I nor the article made. The Trump Campaign, however, had many ties to Russia (Manafort, Rick Gates) and clearly served Russian interests (changing the party platform on Ukraine, ghost written op-eds). Some of them even went to prison for it and you are still trying to claim it never happened. Did we ever figure out why his campaign manager gave campaign polling data to a Russian oligarch?

> Sure, they can dig up stuff about Trump's behavior with Russia. Along the same lines, there are tons of stories across decades painting the Clintons as pretty terrible people.

Whatabout-ism in plain sight.

> The difference here, and this is important, is that outlets like CNN do have a massive bias in favor of Democratic candidates.

It was a PBS article, so this is not relevant comment. Even so, the article was referencing a release from the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee. Why would they repeat Democratic talking points?
Yes. You can explicitly set your project's aspect ratio, including 9:16 (which is the iPhone vertical ratio) and edit it that way. You can also include vertical video in a non-vertical project with black bars on the sides ("fit"), by cropping ("fill"), or stretching ("stretch").
I can't remember what version this changed in, but in the header bar you can right click any of the folder breadcrumbs to open a context menu. Once you have 42, there's actually a menu button for the current folder, and you can click anywhere in the breadcrumbs area to activate it. It's the best way to do things in the current folder ;)
It seems likely that "gen z" americans have few clues about what historic and present day russia is, and generally about the land mass between Poland and Korea.

They are just now waking up from two years of debating whether not wearing masks was a hate crime.

Maybe in their minds, the conditions on the opposite side of the world just seem too brutal to belong in the same reality. It looks and sounds too crazy to be real, so they can't decide if it's fake.

That's definitely true. However, it's not really arguable that a majority or close to a majority of Crimea was moreso favourable to joining Russia than staying in an anti-Russia version of Ukraine. Independent polls confirm this : https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2015/03/20/one-year-a...

There was no status-quo option because at the time, according to the dominant legal opinion (as in, backed by force), Crimea had already seceded from Ukraine. To consider the status quo that Crimea was part of Ukraine would undermine the legal basis for a referendum without assent from Kyiv, which is why it was not included. It's for sure bullshit to the moral level, but it couldn't have been done differently while still being a referendum on joining Russia. They could have done a referendum on returning to Ukraine, I guess.

> No, they don't show ads from Drive, GMail or Photos --- these services are ad free. They do show ads from the web --- based on your personal profile and data collected from multiple sources. Nothing here rules out using data from Drive, Gmail and Photos to profile you.

Are you really seriously claiming that there's some kind of ambiguity in "Google does not collect, scan, or use your data in Google Workspace services for advertising purposes"?

If you're going to argue that "advertising purposes" wouldn't cover using the data for ad targeting, they have text explicitly addressing that too:

https://blog.google/products/gmail/g-suite-gains-traction-in...

Consumer Gmail content will not be used or scanned for any ads personalization after this change.

Your [Drive] content is safe, private, and never used for ad personalization

> The document you quote is not current but paid services do have different TOS

True, sorry about that! The current version states:

Google will not process Customer Data for Advertising purposes or serve Advertising in the Services.

But given that it's the same text, I don't really see how this helps your case.

> This is not a major source of their income.

Why would that matter?

> It's been proven that they scan, collect and save purchase receipts and access/scan web links contained in Gmail documents. Why do you suppose they do this?

Pretty obviously the receipt thing was due to it being a really convenient feature for Gmail users. I used it multiple times, and was sad when it was removed due to the outcry. For scanning web links, the even more obvious reason is to scan the links for malware, phishing pages, etc. But I am confident that these things are not for any kind of advertising purposes. And so should you: it was after all you who set the bar at whether using the data for ads was disallowed by the privacy policy or TOS.

When you get to set the standard of proof, and then refuse to accept that proof when provided, it doesn't really feel like you're acting in good faith here.
You need find meaning in _life_, not just work. Why are you here? You know you aren't the first person to hit this problem.

Religion offers a solution for this problem, when the purpose and value of your life is more valuable than your day to day activities, your money or anything you experience now.

But most people will suggest therapy so you can learn to be happy with what you have already become unsatisfied with, worldly success.

Go find unhappy people and help them. Poor, destitute, maybe a sad neighbor, and do something for them. Then maybe you will find a new thing in life worth caring about.
The bigger story here is that they're restoring data that should have been permanently deleted for compliance reasons.

Even if there are 0 actual facts open to the public that prove this, the optics suggest that this narrative can be made. He moved the stock 30%+ in a few days by publically buying in. If he sells it, why wouldn't it give up all of the gains he brought (and maybe more)?

I don't know what he thinks he stands to gain by buying Twitter. Can a rocket scientist/electric car guru really get into tweets + advertising?
Sure and we also had a handful of people on the right who were against it too. I'm talking about groups that matter --those that make up more than 5% of a pop.

Main point stands though. the media want to have it multiple ways, like John Kerry, one day it's for something, then, the next, it's against the same thing, and a third day it's back on.

Correct.

Without American oil imports, Japan was forced to seize Dutch oil production in Indonesia to keep their economy running. That would drag the USA into the war, therefore it was a logical conclusion to strike the USA first.

It's not hard to see Russia's action as a logical action to protect their interests. That however is not the same as condoning Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Not wanting to kill 'the enemy', even when under fire, is not a millenial invention. It's basic human nature. See "On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society" for more.
Why should a very small number of people with capital decide that? Clearly that's not very democratic.
A generous interpretation of your parent comment is that, "because of the stakes, the government will take it far more seriously" and, e.g., stand with our soldiers.
>We live on the knife's edge of peace

Peace for who? America just formally ended a 20 year long war, with very little to show for it. Someone who is 18 today, has only known America in a time of war. How can you call this peace? (I know how, it's because you only talk about peace as peace for western nations.) Anyone would immediately be skeptical to the thought that we should immediately enter another war several thousand miles away.

It's only when majority white western christians are being blown up that we are at the "knife's edge of peace". What is it called when it's muslims in the middle east or northern africa being blown up? I'm not convinced America needs to be proactive in an engagement with Russia to hold up what you consider "the knife's edge of peace".
According to Gallup, the proportion of Americans who trust mass media a "great deal" or a "fair amount" dropped 10 percentage points during the Iraq war, and then never fully recovered.

Of course, broken down by political party shows Democrats have restored their trust in mass media just fine, especially since Trump...

Realist as determined by some social media bubble, some of which are engineered by foreign intelligence agencies, sure.
I didn't set the goalposts :) I just noticed that there is a miscommunication.

The miscommunication is that you presume "That doesn’t mean", whereas the whole discussion is about whether that's desired or not.
I hate reading news in real time. Its never significant or relevant to what you are doing, but you couldn't tell that by the frantic tone and the sense that you must remain tuned into whatever is unfolding this time on the internet. Much better to get the complete picture after the dust actually settles and you know what pieces were truly important.

I'm sympathetic to the article, but the author is painfully confused about "the rich", lumping everyone with more money than her into the same category. For instance, she mentions "1 percent—the Trumps and the Murdochs, the very, very rich." No, most of the 1% is a completely different world from the Murdochs, over three orders of magnitude away from the very rich and much closer to the middle class.

"What about the, say 19 percent of Americans in the upper-class income tier": who seriously thinks that 19% of Americans are upper-class? She's confusing the upper quintile with upper class.

"The world’s future landlords, multinational business owners, CEOs and media executives": one category here isn't like the others. Landlords (of which there are 8 million in the US) really have nothing in common with multinational business owners.
The point of reducing moderation is to allow the bad actors back in. Musk has been very vocal about supporting all speech regardless of impact.
Well then point me at all of this "debate on really important topics."
Repeating what others have said, but as the person in question. I'm incredibly depressed in the sense that I struggle to find motivation to achieve fairly basic tasks such as laundry, feeding myself, etc + extremely numbed emotions, but I am high functioning through a combination of anxiety and force of will (I'm graduating with a decent GPA from a state school with a job lined up).

It can be highly invisible; in fact, I reckon that it is usually invisible and most only see the extreme cases such as your roommate.
Mainstream media is covering this [1], I came to HN to get a more technical analysis, and rather surprisingly there doesn't seem to be any discussion about this topic.

Haven't we known about SCADA vulnerabilities for years? Aren't these systems supposed to be airgapped? Any industrial controls folks want to weigh in?

Also I'm wondering about the timeline here. Are these tools new, or have they been known for some time? If the latter, why did they wait to issue an alert?

If the tools are new, why wouldn't the Russians hold back from using them until they want to launch an actual physically destructive attack? Maybe this is the beginning stage of such an attack? Maybe they aren't confident in lab tests, need to use them against the actual targets to assess their true effectiveness, and thought they could be stealthy enough to not get caught?

Or maybe these tools have been out there for years, US intelligence has known about them for a while, and the government decided the Russia-Ukraine conflict is heating up enough that publicizing enough information to scare management of SCADA shops into actually securing their stuff has more value than keeping it secret and playing the I-know-you-know spy game?

Have you noticed that gas prices generally just sit there at the same price for YEARS at a time. They take various excuses (like this one) and do their 5-10 year bump. We'll be talking about gas being JUST $6 in 2030 and then the next crisis will bring it to $12 and it will, stay there for many years.
In "small" setups, you're actually more likely to be overhead-bound if anything (especially on CPU).
Yeah, you can fix everything yourself. Up until you get tired of fixing and just use a normal OS that isn't breaking something random every update.

To be honest, if you "freeze" an installation (i.e. never update anything), it works pretty well!

The difference between server and desktop packages seems to be professionalism - the latter just aren't developed/maintained to the same standards as the former. I love Linux and what you can do with theming, though, it's quite amazing.
I'm vouching for this comment, because it's an entirely reasonable thought that crippling debt and housing costs lead to apathy (graphs 3 "Do you care who wins?"). I do not believe it leads to supporting Russia, though.
Having the option to do your own and the opportunity to engage in critical thinking (whether or not you take advantage of it) out of all of the available content on the internet is worse than being spoonfed propaganda on a few broadcast stations?
No, he thought, hey, I'll fix cars, and space, and solar. And that's not going the worst it could go, so maybe I can fix Twitter. He's not doing things for profit.

>Do not fall for "let's hear both sides" whataboutism.

Your comment is spot on, but this is strange. It is complex; there are two sides. The ideals of "Western civilization" aren't held by the globe, so it's important to understand why things work the way they do. It isn't "good" versus "evil".
From my experience the goal posts constantly move, the insatiable desire for more never ends.
Self acceptance of where you are in your stage of life will be key to letting go and relinquishing the suffering that goes hand in hand with our ego identity and attachments to success.

What you are experiencing is a normal stage of life that we all inevitably must face.

This is a beautiful stage of life, even if society tells you otherwise. You begin to reconcile aspects of your being and start seeing things for what they really are.

My existential pangs are eased by spiritual books and teachers. I recommend you find some foundation of spirituality to help through these times. My favourite teacher is the late Ram Dass (Richard Alpert) who has his works available on the Be Here Now Network podcasts, Alan Watts also.

Take care

I was able to manually construct a commit with a .git subdirectory using `git mktree` and `git commit-tree`, but Git still refused to create the .git subdirectory in the index or working copy:

[testrepo]$ git checkout --orphan test-branch

I'm currently reading the book From Strength to Strength by Arthur C Brooks and it is really hitting home. I identify with everything you say, perhaps not as strongly, but I've chased success and achievement my whole life. And now, in my early forties, I'm over it. Work dangles the carrot, and I don't care. I want to spend time with my family, focus on my hobbies and physical health, that I time and again deprioritize in favor of working more. I mean, what if I wake up with a cancer diagnosis, or die in a car accident? I will look back at my life and say, what was the point of making all that money when I never lived? To that end I'm about to take a sabbatical (possibly early retirement), but there's an internal head game that the book is helping me with. It's not enough to step off the treadmill without some awareness of why I was on it in the first place, the short version of which is: my ego likes being admired as a Very Successful Person™.
He glosses over the fact that native Ukrainians in those regions were displaced in the 1930s during the Holodomor and replaced with Russian settlers. That might explain why Russian sentiment in those regions is high.
