Your example of a Twitter ban is from 26 months ago and is over a conspiracy theory, written up in a publication known for being a prolific source of fake news, about a specific scientist. That was and still is false.

The original argument put differently:

-lab-leak theory <- not fake news; it is a theory and circulates among other theories of COVID's origin

-lab-leak theory is true <- fake news; not only is it far from proven, its odds get worse each month as we find out more
>As for what is the answer... I wish I had one. I'm afraid that this problem is only going to get worse.

How much worse can it get and how can we quantify that?

How truthy was the previous media landscape? I'm not sure this is measurable.

As a hypothetical, if the basic premises which informed our respective political views or national identities (assuming we subscribe to one) were the product of a well orchestrated propaganda campaign, how would we know?

The intended audience of propaganda isn't aware of the deception in the classic sense. This is by design.

People believe what they want to, I can accept that much. The phenomenon of misinformation hysteria is a symptom of the fracturing of our collective narrative.

The "Flat Earth Club" was a debate society, then an Internet forum. People explored implausible ideas and tested their rhetorical ability. Today flat-earther is a pejorative. It is plainly hysterical, a boogeyman of misinformation. The bounds are not to be tested. Those who rail against the dangers of misinformation are arguably misinformed about the boogeymen they have conjured up out of hysteria.

Perhaps a fair appraisal might allow that misinformation has always been with us. The sources and dominance of political players have changed. There is a wider spectrum of information accurate or otherwise. I'm not convinced that this is necessarily dangerous in itself.

The danger is in how we interact with those who do not share our personal mythos. Demonizing dissent, misidentifying divergent information as misinformation or as the author suggested, sticking to "trusted sources" all appear to be part of a regressive trend. This is more problematic in my view.

The alleged democratization of the Internet, where anyone can publish with no technical ability required, is ushering in an era of walled gardens. Choose any beverage you'd like, Pepsi or Coke. Select any sources you'd like for that Wikipedia article. Just make sure they're establishment sources within our parameters. You can say anything you want, as long as I say it isn't dangerous misinformation. See, the Internet is a free and open place. If you cannot find it in [insert walled garden]'s search, then it must not be. The process creates the illusion of consensus greater than what could be achieved by the dying broadcast media. If the misinformation hysteria has been ginned up to achieve a goal, this is it.

It's DAS. Mostly it's in one box of RAIDed 32x5.5Tb drives with a couple of tablespaces/WAL elsewhere. The DB is mostly read-only and not many concurrent users, so that's probably not the most typical case.
The marginal cost of selling the data is effectively 0, since the difference between selling "zero data" and "one data" is 0, and the difference between "n data" and "n+1 data" is also 0.

The sale of data was essentially "free" to the business as a revenue stream, it cost them almost nothing extra to sell the data (again, beyond building a portal and integrations). You CAN discount the cost of data maintenance, from the sale business since the core business (also profitable) is already factoring in the cost. You can't double-count the costs, and accounting DOES let you pick-and-choose where to apply those costs.
That's probably because you are running Netflix in Google Chrom. The streams are 720P (1280x720) and hava a lower level of DRM.

Only Microsoft Edge and natives apps are providing the highest definition available.
You can see the stats by pressing CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-D while Netflix is active.

These hypothetical anonymous people, from your first post, are not you, from your second post, and no amount of snarky emojis will change that (and this doesn't even touch on the rest of your first post).
> You can't say "fiction" to anything just because you don't like it.

No. It's fiction, because it's not true and completely fabricated. I mean... for years I was told by Russian TV that I am persecuted and discriminated in Lithuania - I'm ethnically Russian from Lithuania. Which is complete BS. They told me that Lithuanians were Nazi collaborators and all resistance to Soviet occupation was just Nazis. Which is a blatant lie.

So when I say that nothing that Russian propaganda says is true - I actually mean that not a single word is to be een remotely trusted.

> I'm looking forward to you showing where in Russia children were taught to kill Russians and yell "Москаляку на гиляку" (hang up the Russians)

In Lithuania we had a whole scandal, of a Russian school sending kids to a summer camp in Russia. Where they were trained to use guns and taught that Soviet Union was great and Lithuanians are Nazis.

Also - Москаляку на гиляку - doesn't translate "hang", it's Send the Russian(singular) to the guillotine.

>It is not so much the presence of nationalists that is important (as you said "This happens everywhere"), but the attitude of the country towards them (Nazis Germany doesn't happen everywhere).

The attitude in Ukraine towards Nazism is bad. I mean... Nationalists didn't even get 2% in the last elections, not to mention complete lack of Nazis.
Yes we all are going to trust you that you are forgetful enough to loose receipt but have perfect memory of amounts and items :)
OK I guess that was what I meant to ask. Never knew it was the same Lear.

I spent many many hours in front of ADM-3a and ADM-5 terminals in my undergrad days.
Nice!! I needed a tool to build prototypes super fast and I think I just found it.

Congratulations for the release! Excited to see how this project evolves.

FM radio is a dumpster fire anyway, quality-wise. Apart from the awful dynamic range and noise floor, god knows how many plugins and mp3 re-encodes are used in the average pipeline. So I wouldn't be especially surprised to find that 8 bits/second extra crap on the pile goes unnoticed.

However I'm awfully curious about this system, especially "high enough that it passes codecs easily". I would naively expect that to be highly dependent on the codec and bitrate chosen, and further expect the range between "inaudible" and "codec-passing" to be negative for many common untransparent lossy profiles, like 128kbps mp3. Where can I read more?
Just to add to this, we live in a town of ~50k people about 2 hours out of Toronto, and house prices are up 20% yearly since before COVID. 2-3 bedroom houses, are brushing up against $1million this year.

Not as bad as other parts of Canada to be sure, but most people living here have manufacturing jobs or are in the military. I don't see how this is sustainable, since there's nothing for rich people to do here.
Yeah, but you can't generally re-sell a Rolex watch for a profit. There are some particular models for which you can, and probably a very old still-working watch will always have some kind of collectible value, but otherwise Rolexes are not really a collectible market.
I actually don’t care whether I’m more productive at home or in the office. I’m positive
I’m more productive in the office but I won’t return either way. It makes no difference to me.

My life is not about my employer extracting 100% of my productivity from me. I have a better quality of life working from home and I’m going to keep it.
Super problematic that the HN mod team removed these posts by the author. His replies to this thread can likely be used to help ascertain the legitimacy of his claims, despite any rule-breaking they contained - let it be visible to the public.
>> As it is often the case, politicians go for the headline with the highest electoral ROI

They also conveniently target people who can't vote, much like big taxes on out-of-province housing purchases that are very popular within Canada.
Good. Yet, prices also accelerate because of ever increasing regulations. Maybe that's a good thing, but we have to make sure that housing is also affordable for everyone. After all it's a basic necessity.
I can't comment on his personal ideology - I just respect his technical skills and contributions. But if what you say is true - that he has been leaning more and more to the right - I can't help wonder if the vicious campaign against him perhaps pushed him more to the right and made him a hardliner. The irrational beliefs of fundamentalists often rest on a foundation of victimhood (real or perceived, they are undoubtedly a painful personal experience). As we are learning, the internet's "cancel" culture ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancel_culture ) and echo chambers are making people's beliefs more rigid, and creating an unhealthy us vs them mentality. Till the scandal, Eich seemed to be quite professional in separating his work from his personal life / belief. If that has changed now, for the worse (like you seem to be hinting), then I do feel sorry for his situation.
This is a continuation of the same problem I highlighted before because it pretends that self-censorship only happens on the right. I have been through over a dozen diversity training courses in my career. Not a single one has ever said "white employees are inherently racists". This law is written against strawmen examples. Their goal isn't to stop those extreme examples. It is supposed to make companies fearful enough of a lawsuit, remember a lawsuit doesn't have to win to be costly and damaging, that they either dumb down this training or stop it entirely. The problem with censorship is not just what is actively censored. There is a much broader chilling effect that ends up censoring more topics even if they aren't explicitly banned.

Good point. On Twitter my name is "BraveSampson," and I often forget that isn't the case here as well. FWIW, I'm Sampson, and I work in Developer Relations at Brave. I have that in my bio here, to help a bit.
The key is sugar and especially high fructose corn syrup. Excessive sugar intake over a long period of time will destroy your kidneys (leading to diabetic nephropathy, interestingly certain ARBs prevent new onset diabetes mellitus type-2 by protecting the kidneys), which would lead to adverse cardiac events moreso than sodium intake.
Yandex could simply not display any news at their frontpage instead of displaying propaganda. I doubt that there would be any consequences for it. After all, it is a search engine and not a news agency.
I always found getting something running to be the hardest part, so I'm starting by getting a simple client/server running and then iterating from there. Here's how I'm doing it:

1. Follow these two guides on setting up a Node.js server on AWS:

https://hackernoon.com/tutorial-creating-and-managing-a-node...

https://hackernoon.com/tutorial-creating-and-managing-a-node...

2. Write some client-side Javascript functions to send and receive requests from your server.

3. Use Unity's browser scripting to call the Javascript functions:

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/webgl-interactingwithbrowser...

At this point, you'll be able to have clients send to the server and receive responses. You can then implement whatever multiplayer solutions you fancy.
How many Deno instances might an edge server run? Does each tenant have an instance or is there multi-tenancy? What interesting tweaks have you made making a cloudified offering of Deno tailored for http serving?
It'll be interesting. Unless the population shrinks I think people will still feel squeezed, since things still won't feel affordable if e.g. interest rates go up and prices stagnate.
At the cost of 3 hours of the candidate's time (on top of all the other time demands, and to some extent necessarily irritating artificiality of the rest of the interview process).

Let's just hope the total compensation offered is in line with these demands, then.
Yes, that the cybersecurity firm found a big enough trashfire that they don't want their name associated. If there were a competent security firm, there would be a detailed timeline (perhaps not in this post, but linked from it) of "Hacker got access, did X, Y, Z. Last access using compromised token was at A and token expired automatically at B". The other alternative is they hired Kaspersky and don't want to mention that for obvious reasons.

If you are still on Okta in a month, you should be held criminally liable when the next hack happens.
It’s like reading the back of the “Dr. Bronner’s Soap” label. I get what the guy is saying but he’s said it in a way that’s so unappealing I’d rather not care.
I looked into insteon products a few months before this, and there was that much community activity about it. Nobody really has talked about insteon products in the past couple years much, which has led me to believe they were dying as a company.

I think it was a competition thing. There is way more cheap stuff out there now, and insteon is known as annoying and unreliable (as in devices die after a few years), so the high end market just moved to lutron.
> The idea that houses are appreciating assets doesn't come from some fundamental law or ideology. It comes from recognizing reality.

Houses are not appreciating assets, in general. They are durable goods but tend to degrade if not maintained. Land is often an appreciating asset for the reasons you mentioned. And of course the "NIMBYism, zoning laws, permitting" play a part in that, by restricting the land available for various desired uses. Removing these factors would help, though of course it wouldn't completely negate the tendency for land prices to rise, especially in densely populated areas.

> But, what you are really wanting to argue against is private property ownership.

Removing private property ownership wouldn't make more land available, or cause it to be used more efficiently. Quite the opposite in fact.
English is not my first language. I regularly make stylistic and grammatical mistakes. I hope people aren’t calling out my writing as “dumb” like the title does.
This is essentially true. The UK was nothing but a dictatorship until it shed off all of its colonies.

As it is right now, the UK has a mix of parliamentary supremacy and unequal representation which means that with ~40% of the vote, given you are courting the right people and are a more entrenched party, you can do essentially whatever you want as a majority in parliament is basically supreme.

As it is right now, the UK does not fit any definition of democracy.
> They have compared a diet with a sodium intake close to the lower limit of the recommended intake, with a diet including an even lower sodium intake, slightly less than normally recommended.

Interesting. So the study produced no news at all. Just a click bait title...
>as tools of censorship, they're narrowly targeted at children, not adults.

Children eventually become adults. How do we expect the adults of the future to deal with difficult topics like race if we prevent them from learning about them?

>Maybe you are aware of some example that i'm not, though.

I linked to another example in a different comment.[1]

Watermarking the streams doesn't do anything to prevent Blu-ray rips from being propagated, just as watermarking streaming audio doesn't prevent someone from sharing their CD rips. All it takes is one pristine source rip for the watermarking effort to be moot.

As far as catching web rip culprits, that becomes a cat and mouse game when easily available stolen credit card numbers are a thing.

In the end, i think these type of schemes end up protecting information security division income more than they protect the artists' income.
I mean, it's incredibly easy to deploy client apps separately from the server in a lot of ways

To me, the only value I see for Edge compute is when some chunk of data requires processing going one way across the network, and that processing can be done entirely locally. I suppose what you describe with the meta tag qualifies in this case, otherwise I think serverless architecture looks like a pretty sweet deal for the cloud companies promoting it.
I just had to do this dumb dance with TD Ameritrade. I did a coin toss on print/scan v.s. learning to do this with ImageMagick. Since I had a bunch of other deadlines to hit I wasted paper so they would accept my electronic submission.

Personally, from a workflow standpoint I'd prefer a PDF Printer driver that would add the effect. I'm sure the website is better for Mobile.
"We show that these effects stem in part from a bias we call partisan coverage filtering, wherein partisan outlets selectively report information, leading viewers to learn a biased set of facts."

I'm all for science and experimentation, but uh... duh? I thought we already knew this, since there's been a term for it for a long time: selection bias.

Or are they saying they discovered that biased media specifically works on selection bias? Because I thought that was pretty obvious, too.
I don't remember coming across many AMP pages recently. Since Google stopped favoring AMP in the search results the other year, it seemed like AMP was dying off. Is this feature even still relevant in 2022?
Anecdata: I’ve noticed that the voices in an organisation who are more keen for a return to the office tend to be the managers, directors, leadership sort of roles.

I wonder if being in the office is just simply more enjoyable for those with power and influence, while individual contributors (trying to get their work done) find they like it more at home?
That is impressively responsive. The shoe models on your site is the most detailed product 360 viewer I've seen.
This is OK but is not going to solve the housing shortage. What's needed is re-zoning and shifting away from automobile-oriented developments.
I would love to jump over to something like Vercel or Netlify Edge, but maddeningly none of these platforms give you control over the cache key. I have pages that are server-side rendered with Cache-Control headers, but because our visitors come with unique tracking params on the end of their URL (e.g. from Mailchimp or Branch), we would essentially have no cache hits.

It seems the only way to have control over this is to write your own Cloudflare Workers. There must be a better way? I can't imagine this is an infrequent problem for people at scale.
> Users who opt-in receive 70% of the associated revenue for ads they see.

The other 30 percent goes right to Brave's pockets. In other words, they directly profit off of showing you advertisements.

> Rewards are delivered in the form of BAT (and ERC-20 token), which can be kept, or gifted to content creators across the Web as a means of support.

*only if those creators have an ERC-20 wallet. Many creators (like Tom Scott) have had their likeness appropriated without their consent to advertise this monetization scheme, despite the fact that they have no intention of ever using the service. As such, Brave dangles their ad revenue over their head, refusing to pay out in anything other than their own altcoin. It's a scummy design, arguably many times worse than the act of advertising in the first place.

I hate ads, and I go to extreme lengths to stop them and the scummy behavior they inspire. That's why I can't support Brave in good conscience.
see: "this mask requirement with last for 30 days" ..extended ad-infinitum. This is big policy 101.
Well for starters, you typically have a limited number of vacation days a year, while sick days don’t have these limitations.

Secondly, in case of burnout (or similar), it’s not unheard of (at least over here in .nl) that you stay at home for extended periods of time, and gradually restart picking up your workload. That kind of thing is very different from vacation.
Great, is that economic research based on thought experiments or reality? I'd love to read it. Let's go back to my example. You build denser housing on top of or next to the condos I mentioned, what happens? The workers move in closer to the city center. The price is low for a short period of time, until more people migrate. Just like when the highway opens up a new lane. The traffic is better for a short period, until more people begin using the highway more. Then you are back to the status quo.

You could argue that you can just keep building up and up until you cross the threshold of demand affecting the price, but without a market incentive to do that, it's wishful thinking at best. "Well the government could fund it" you could say, and indeed it can. But speaking of economic research, everytime the government has done such a thing, it causes widespread economic depression of the local area.
I agree that publishing the source would be positive for the consumer, but I can think of lots of (variably sensible/moral/legal) reasons why they wouldn't:

- A public-facing codebase is a reflection of the company, and thus needs to be polished and maintained in a way that a private one doesn't.

- You might have trade secrets in your code base that you don't want your competitors to have

- Even without explicit secrets, your code base is a substantial investment that any competitor will need to make themselves in order to enter the market; publishing the code would give that to everyone (and let's not pretend that licensing terms and copyright will prevent a knock-off hardware manufacturer in a less cooperative country from reusing the code wholesale)

- Alongside the free security fixes, you give adversaries more opportunity to look for, and exploit, flaws in your security.

- The IP represented by the source code has a value that might well be a substantial part of your company's valuation, in which case you might need to sell it as part of an acquisition/bankruptcy proceeding.

- (I am not accusing Insteon of this, but) if you publish your source code, you may expose all the 3rd-party code you are using/modifying whose license terms you may not be respecting.
Again pro Russian party was forbidden when Russia attacked.

Do you think having a potential traitor party during war is good?

Where there many pro German parties during WW2 in countries that it attacked?

Please tell me how was Czeczen separatists treated in Russia? If Russia is so for separations of other nations let their own republics do the same.
