That's easy to claim online talking about abstract scenarios, but if you saw a man beat his wife in public I think you'd be more than willing to make a snap judgement about that man's moral character, and wouldn't stop to think "well maybe he's not a scumbag because..."

People like Jimmy Dore don't claim to be investigative journalists, fwiw. Then again, most "news" is fed to us by pretty actors, talking heads, and not active investigative journalists (who should not be judged on prime-time attractiveness).

"What's happening in Ukraine" that most people are worried about is actually the geopolitical machinations that might lead to WWIII.

I’m a (non-American) outsider unfamiliar with either of those, but a quick reading leads me to believe that your description is so reductionist as to be intentionally misleading. There’s more nuance to it than “attempts to overturn civil rights”.

I enjoy Amtrak even for short distances.

In my younger days I traveled a fair amount across the midwest. Greyhound would get me there pretty cheaply and fairly comfortably; but it was boring and many of the bus stations were sketchy (although fellow passengers were always great). My preference was strongly for Amtrak, though. More room, the ability to walk around, order food and drinks, and also to see parts of the country that aren't immediately off the interstate. Compared to flying, the travel time is longer (but you gain some of that back by not having to hang out at an airport for so long), but it's a lot less hassle, there's more room, and it's just ... relaxing.

I have hard believing this given your statements:

I suspect the execs will try to tone it down but progressives aren't known for wanting to be neutral or muted about their causes. Activism and "everything is political" are fundamental aspects of their worldview.

I have no reason to believe that CNN or FoxNews or any other media outlet is doing anything other than trying to corner whatever part of the market they are going after. Occasionally they have to shift emphasis and direction. In X years when FoxNews starts to lose its audience will people say the same thing but replace progressives with conservatives? If the employees don’t follow the corporate directives they can hire new people. It’s a business that does not have a shortage of people wanting to get rich/famous.

I did not claim that using fossil energy does not matter itself.

My claim is that if you do use it, then it does not matter (much, in the context of heating up the earth) what you use it for.

I also wrote:

> No, heat pumps don't heat up the earth. Using fossil fuels does.

The second sentence IMO could also have told you, that I'm critical of using fossil energy and you don't need to point it out to me.

No need to artificially construct disagreement where there's none.
Anki checks two of these boxes, but the data is stored in SQLite. It is a nice program, open source and actively developed, with many online resources available and a large community.

My advice would be, if you happen to already write your notes in some plain text format, to create your flashcards in your notes. E.g. if you use one of the fancy new PKM tools like Logseq/Obsidian/etc. you can use one of the available plugins to sync to Anki (or roll your own script, thats what I do).
For me thats a solution with which I feel very comfortable (and I am rather picky and have tried out a lot of tools and workflows). Main advantages for me:

1. your notes and SRS questions are not separated

2. you have full control over your data

3. you don't have to use the editor of any SRS app, instead you can use whatever tool/editor you are most comfortable with

4. By syncing to Anki, I get all the nice stuff that comes with Anki: mobile clients+sync, nice statistics, endless styling customizability.
FB friends sometimes turn into more, over time. If not, there's no real cost to having another one... If they're noisy, it's as simple as clicking a mute button.

Also, this is a PERFECT example of those social skills I talked about, in my earlier post... Valuable relationships don't just magically appear out of thin air, when you just happen to meet the right people. You have to meet (a LOT) of people, then spend time & effort to cultivate a common context, figure out their character, decide whether you want them in your life... It's a winnowing process, wherein you might only build ONE truly significant relationship out of meeting hundreds of people. The very first stage of that pipeline is just getting in contact and observing the person. Facebook is a great tool for that part.

But the knowledge of this whole process isn't some kind of inbuilt human instinct. Some people are lucky enough to learn it while they're young, but the rest of us have to figure it out as adults. It's a very complex skill set, so it can be a long,frustrating, frightening learning process.

this data clearly doesn't show current situation (June 2022 to be precise) as that report is not out yet but the macro situation is clearly affecting valuations in all markets (commodities, equities, crypto, etc) specially crypto and growth-driven tech companies as they are obviously more risky in a higher interest and more uncertain (from the global macro perspective) environment.

1) I didn't say sports betting is random. I said that if you want a 10x - 100x upside in sports betting, you'd have to place your money on the player almost surely to lose. As in, 99 people betting against that player versus just you. Those odds are not comparable to crypto.

2) I agree. Cycles are unlikely to continue forever. Doesn't mean there can't be still some to come. Time will tell.

3) There's tokens with actual utility, but most have none.

There's no need to go into some kind of anti-crypto mode. I wasn't selling crypto. I was explaining the dynamics behind it being asymmetrical.

> Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police

> By Mariame Kaba (Ms. Kaba is an organizer against criminalization.)

> ...I’ve been advocating the abolition of the police for years. Regardless of your view on police power — whether you want to get rid of the police or simply to make them less violent — here’s an immediate demand we can all make: Cut the number of police in half and cut their budget in half. Fewer police officers equals fewer opportunities for them to brutalize and kill people. The idea is gaining traction in Minneapolis, Dallas, Los Angeles and other cities.

> ...People like me who want to abolish prisons and police, however, have a vision of a different society, built on cooperation instead of individualism, on mutual aid instead of self-preservation. What would the country look like if it had billions of extra dollars to spend on housing, food and education for all? This change in society wouldn’t happen immediately, but the protests show that many people are ready to embrace a different vision of safety and justice.

Holding and advancing multiple deeply contradictory ideas is something humans are very good at.

I've come to believe that most people spend very little time asking if their ideas are reasonable. They just believe what they need to believe to fit into a group. It's more about group membership signaling than anything else.

Primates will choose social connection over food, so it's not surprising that we'll also choose social connection over rationality.

If you are going to let the program do the layout automatically, then graphviz dot already does really good, right?

I think the reason people make these projects is specifically because they want to manually place some nodes at particular 2d positions, which I think is a little difficult if you are just recording nodes and connections. (I think many people are not as excited about solutions like "just use a bunch of invisible edges to enforce additional position requirements" as us).
So clean! love it.
> Sure, the average employee doesn’t have access to this information.

Exactly. There will be strict controls for nearly all employees, but the rules don't really apply to top executives. Anyone in IT or Infosec who has to try to enforce policies on top execs has encountered this in their career.

If there is a substantial business advantage in seeing some data the company has, you can bet the execs are seeing that data.
I had a lot of fun doing this, and along the way I learned a lot about writing Gradle and IntelliJ plugins, and I hope others might find this fun too :)
Perhaps, but unless you want a permanent under class of people unable to find real employment, there needs to be an on-ramp. Either someone is too dangerous to have in public (which case they should still be imprisoned), or they have served their sentence and their punishment is over.
The Info command kind of sucks to use though. It's way more complex than you would expect for a manual viewer. The help screen itself is 300 lines long and full of stuff like:

LFD (select-reference-this-line) Select reference or menu item appearing on this line

The help page talks a ton about xrefs and nodes and references and echo areas and tree searches without ever explaining what any of those things are. The h key as always does nothing.
Life is getting harder in some fairly concrete and objective ways. Most noticably the number of hours the average person needs to work to be able to buy a house has gone up a lot.

On a recidivism-related tangent, a close friend of mine runs a nonprofit called "Guitars Behind Bars" -- https://guitarsbehindbars.com -- which does like it says on the tin, providing instruments and a musical outlet to convicts.

Bringing it up here bc stories about helping ex-convicts don't often feature on the HN front page.

Power to you, Richard. Keep fighting the good fight, and thank you for being a light for others.
My only experience in the field is working for an "old school" publisher, where copyright concerns like the one described in the blog post would be the responsibility of the acquisitions editor (an employee of the publisher). Our printers were a separate company, who, like you say, had no editorial responsibilities. "Old school" publishers do typically coordinate distribution, though. There are also some that support print-on-demand (for example, Manning).

I think it's instructive here that KDP stands for Kindle Direct Publishing, not Kindle Direct Printing.

We are teaching machines to diagnose cancer in a collaborative research and development environment. You will be a direct report to the program director, developing a broad codebase (NLP, CV, digital archaeology, bioinformatics anticipated, Python required, C++ and Javascript desirable) and working with a world-class digital slide repository. Typical candidates that make it past the first interview have a CS, data science, comp bio, or a related masters, or a bachelors degree with experience. Linear algebra is a prerequisite. At least 3-4 years writing code is strongly recommended.

Collaborators include the Defense Innovation Unit, the Chief Digital and AI Office, and commercial partners. Project has both remote and San Diego employees.

Culturally, you will be expected to reduce highly ambiguous problems for yourself and others, including asking for help, often in domains you haven’t dealt with before, e.g. clinical trials, legally binding privacy requirements, and highly invasive security and compliance. Finally, this is a small group interfacing with huge organizations. Long term, global, strategic thinking, excellent teamwork, and exemplary personal conduct are essential. Must be able to pass a national agency background check (SF-86).

On-site locations are teaching hospitals. You will walk with the patients you’re trying to help: active duty military, veterans, and their families.

There is one line in the article that mentions progressive commentary. The article is talking about how CNN leadership wants to get back to “hard news” and less commentary. The comments about how “progressives” are this or that is weird and orthogonal to the article. As if CNN or any other media outlet can’t shift focus because too many of its employees are progressive. This needs a lot more justification than what has been given.

So great that its not totally zero-sum. Now that we both acknowledge that, and a large portion of bitcoin mining is using energy sources that are not taking away from other energy uses, and a larger portion of bitcoin mining can use more of this kind of energy. Because, well we've come full circle, Bitcoin doesn't use that much energy. There is way more untapped energy, thats been there for decades just being wasted and spewed away, because nobody else could figure out a use for it.. except the bitcoin miners.
