> They include Travis Kalanick, Uber’s combative co-founder and then chief executive, David Plouffe, a former Barack Obama campaign aide who became a senior vice-president at Uber, and Rachel Whetstone, a British PR executive who has also held senior roles at Google, Facebook and now Netflix.

Why is this so common and acceptable? You have these towering technological firms who already possess vast amounts of power who have a pattern of hiring former political elites. Interestingly, apart of a top conservative at Facebook, many of these people have worked for powerful liberals. There's no excuse for this behavior, if a person has just gotten done working for a candidate or someone in office, they should be barred from private industry until they are politically irrelevant.

Low protein and low fat, super carb heavy diet, what can go wrong?
Quite the contrary, you can and should blame Germany for hiding their head in the sand for the past 10+ years, while a massive threat was growing next to them. It was obviously a catastrophic policy failure. They must have some intelligence services warning the leaders what Russia is really up to. They were being warned by Poland's leadership for quite a while as well. They chose to ignore all that and instead chose to pretend that the threat isn't real - for the sake of short-term convenience and, no doubt, some profits under the table as well.
What disturbs me most is that Princeton acts right out of the dictator playbook - knowingly keep corrupt people with serious oustable offenses on staff to have them pre-blackmailed.

To be frank this is the behavior which allows for mass sex abuse rings. Also something which statues of limitations, even not made for this purpose (limitations of investigative capabilities are more likely reason). It would still be a good fit. It is an admittedly bizzare and perverse phenomena thatnthe best defense against abuse in a judicial system has been to let the guilty go free for misconduct of others.

I read this book as a child in the 1990s. I think I picked it up at a garage sale, along with another of his books "Where did you go?" Out "What did you do?" Nothing", an entertaining memoir of his youth and all the nonsense he got up to with the other kids.

Highly recommended by 12-year-old me.

If it's true of course. The laptop story literally seemed made up.
> Once you're acquitted, you didn't commit the crime.

No. "Not guilty" is not the same as "innocent".

Not guilty means they could not prove you committed the crime beyond a reasonable doubt; that it's possible that you're innocent.
> Sorry, but "we don't have enough evidence to claim that you did this, but we do have enough evidence to put you in jail for five years" is not a coherent perspective.

That's true, but that's not relevant, because that's not the scenario. The standard for criminal conviction is not the standard for “to claim that you did this”, it is the standard to determine the maximum legal criminal punishment.

The standard for a judge to assign punishment within the range specified by the statute under which a person was convicted is lower, because by definition the facts which allow the maximum sentence in that range have been established beyond a reasonable doubt.

> Once you're acquitted, you didn't commit the crime

Legally “didn’t commit the crime” (and thus not allowing separate punishment for the crime) is not the same as “did not do something substantially similar to the crime“ (which therefore might be eligible for sanctions other than separate criminal punishment, such as enhancements within the statutorily authorized range of punishments for another crime, civil liability, or all kinds of different things.)

Heck, it doesn't even mean “did not commit a crime with substantially identical elements within the jurisdiction of a separate sovereign with concurrent jurisdiction”, though that's not directly relevant to this case.
> Part of having gray hairs is to know what was stuck-on-stupid then, and not repeat it now.

> Obesity is not a disease of over-eating, it is a disease of managing hunger.

Indeed it is, and the solution to managing hunger (i.e. returning your whole insulin and leptin system to a more optimal baseline) is NOT going for a 90% carbohydrate diet.

That's exactly why we have a bloody obesity epidemic. It's a fun thought experiment, but reading the comments in here people actually think this is genius and sustainable.
> There's very little talk of blockchains without the crypto tokens attached, because a blockchain without that is just an ordinary boring old distributed database, and that isn't fun to them.

I'm not sure how it's possible to talk about the benefits of a blockchain without talking about the tokens in some way. Incentives matter when it comes to real-world policy and human behavior. You might be asking for something impossible to create a situation where you feel that you always win the argument.

When it comes to the benefits of the tokens, I'm not referring to mere price speculation among the 101,001 random Internet coins and tokens, which I can understand being jaded by, but about how utility tokens can provide something very valuable in the process.

To give one example: in the case of Oracles and specifically Chainlink (ticker: LINK), the tokens not only power the network, but can provide a concept called crypto-economic security. This means that the cost of compromising the network should exceed the potential value gained from doing so. This whole concept is remarkably fascinating from a Computer Science/Security/Philosophy/Economics perspective and should be a game-changer when it comes to getting any kind of distributed application accurate input. There's a bunch of very interesting problems like this all throughout the crypto landscape.

I understand that it feels like price speculation drowns out much of the discussion, but if you're not finding interesting computer science problems and solutions within crypto, you might not be looking hard enough or thinking hard enough about where the world is heading.
>they certainly did charge it

Yes they did charge them, and then dropped them. That's what happened. Charges and convictions are not the same concept, and it's quite amusing you have the galls to say anyone else is "wrong".

This is literally a list of every "athlete" (list is full of, like, normal gym attenders) that has died in the past two years, vaccinated or not. With no comparison to previous years.

It's pretty obviously debunkable, but near the bottom the author has thoughtfully done the work for by implicitly calling out all the valid criticisms for us!

>The so-called fact-checkers are trying to say that because we don’t always have definitive proof of vaccination, then 100% of the data we’re collecting is worthless. Well, good news, fact-checkers, you are not only wrong, you are idiots.

>While historically there have been a relatively small number of athlete deaths each year that weren’t from old age or cancer, there has never been anything like what is happening since the COVID vaccination trials started.

>Readers are writing to us asking for comparisons from previous years. Some say without that, these results mean nothing. That’s not true because if we had seen this in previous years, it would be well known and others would have documented it. We are starting to work on this – it is a lot of work.

>Where are the fact-checkers? Where is the mainstream media? Some have piles of money from Bill Gates. Why are they not proving us wrong by all piling on and showing the documented Athlete deaths from 2019, 2018, 2017 and the previous decade?

>They are nowhere to be found because this number of athlete deaths is abnormal and they know it. They have money from people who don’t want journalists poking around. So that’s why they don’t try to thoroughly Fact-Check these reports or show previous year numbers.

This is a thought-terminating cliche (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_clich%C3%A...), i.e. saying nothing politely.

Has anyone tried making a scannable code printed on receipts with an app for consumers that lets them scan the code to post reviews?
Yes, you can do the same math if your stories are consistently sized, or if you have a sufficiently large data set. All you need is a consistent unit that is related to complexity, risk, and time. The less precise that relation, the larger sample size you need.

For many teams who get requests from external stakeholders in widely varied technical environments - ie consulting, often - estimation is functionally just a conversion process to a consistent unit. But you're absolutely right that for some teams the stories themselves are a good enough unit.

> presenting the least generous reading she possibly can of the proposed law

It's fine if you don't like the flourishes in her writing, but this is the correct way to read proposed legislation.

If the uncharitable reading describes the law enabling/preventing things in a way the authors don't intend, all they have to do is clarify the scope in the text of the bill.

The light least favorable to the drafting party is needed now. In 5 years when there are legal cases over the bounds of the law, the courts will use the text of the law rather that call in the authors and politicians that voted for it and check what they intended for the law to mean. Or maybe they would, I don't know how British courts work.

I'm just saying, they got black-and-white evidence that Ulbricht arranged to pay for a murder, and the Internet has weird stories about how the payment and later murder "confirmation" were some kind of communicative act between Ulbricht and other associates that didn't have anything to do with arranging an actual murder, and it all makes just literally no sense at all. I'm not making a normative claim about the fairness of the US justice system, I'm just saying that if you're trying to pay off a witness, the absolute last way you'd ever structure that payment is as a phony murder for hire scheme.

It's also important to realize that the reason Uber and Lyft were able to crush the taxi industry is in part because the taxi industry was absolutely horrible to consumers.

The simple act of being able to know what I'm going to be charged beforehand, and know that the driver has little ability to scam me out of as much money as they can extract from me at my destination made Uber and Lyft SO much better. That should be the bare minimum, and yet the taxi industry couldn't figure that out for the most part.

I do not care about them breaking taxi laws or regulations. Their treatment of their "employees" absolutely needs improvement, but my god I do not care about the taxi industry as a whole.
The point about prep being time-consuming is no joke. I recently (maybe 4 months ago) started a fairly strict whole food diet, and the prep is insane. Whole vegetables take real time to wash, clean up, store, and prep for cooking. Then you need to cook it.

But like the potato diet, it's extremely easy to stay full and lose weight. Unlike the potato diet, there's a ton of variety. It also seems to have completely reversed a decline in health I'd been experiencing for over 5 years and I suspect the potato diet wouldn't have had the same effect, haha.
Man, if you think cabs in NYC are bad, try Toronto some time. Our cabs are beyond awful. At least you have credit card machines in the back of your cabs!

Our cabs are probably twice as expensive as NYC cabs, and there is no credit card machine in the back. 90% of the time the driver lies and says "it's broken" to try and force you to pay cash. They'll even drive you to an ATM sometimes to get cash, just don't leave your stuff in the cab because they may just drive off with it instead of waiting.

When they DO give you a cash machine there is a high chance of getting your card swiped. And yes, they commonly do the "where are you going?" trick then refuse you a ride because it's not far enough for them, they want the more lucrative fares. Also, the cars are all completely awful quality, just terrible.
They're borderline at best for protein content, though. You'd probably want to at least supplement with a protein shake or two.

What do all of the people who want to work with *nix in their infrastructure, but also want to utilize AD and LDAP use?

OpenLDAP? FreeIPA? 389 Server? ApacheDS? The project in this post? Or something else?

I mean, is it even viable to use something like that for most general purpose use cases, as opposed to caving in and going with something running on MS software/cloud platforms?

Which is the easiest to get started with and administer? Personally, I've used OpenLDAP in containers for a bit and overall the experience was pretty good. That said, I'm yet to see something as nice as Keycloak for managing a directory service (just something that you can setup in 15 minutes, that has a nice web UI and that has a wide variety of functionality).
I think that it is partially a matter of relevance. For instance, there are vast newspaper and magazine archives which are free to read, but they don't have the same relevance as (eg) the latest New York Times articles. (Not that they are without value by any means, but reading them serves a different purpose).

Perhaps a better example would be someone in the 60's choosing to listen to an old Andrew Sisters record, or purchase a new Bob Dylan LP. The Andrew Sisters (as fun and lovely as their music is) would not speak to that present moment in the same way that Bob Dylan would.

Many aspects of art and culture are timeless, but many are not. There will always be a demand for new works to respond to the current day.
> The principle dev reviewed every single commit and enforced a consistency across the code base that was better than what any tools ever could have done.

How was it so much better that it justified that level of busywork on the part of the senior member of the team (and busywork for everyone else, to fix the style nits they enforced in review)? I would have guessed that taking a few hours to install and configure a formatting linter to free up the principal dev's time to focus on other things would have been hugely high leverage.
> Think what you want about Ulbrict, but the cops that took him down were every bit as dirty as he was, if not more.

Anecdotally, I recall a brief moment in the late 2000's where the mom and pop shops had a bit of resurgence (or at least a stay on their execution) -- when Netflix DVD's by mail had put most Block Busters out of business, but before every movie was readily available on streaming services.

If it was Friday night, and you'd just sent back your netflix disc -- or you were looking to watch something that wasn't at the top of your queue, the mom and pop video rental place was your only option. At least in NYC, it seemed like this kept those places going a little but longer than anyone would have guessed when Block Buster was still around.

Though once streaming became prevalent they all disappeared pretty quickly.

Yeah, you're wrong. I think what's happening here is what Kasey said: you're working exclusively from stuff like this Reason article, which is plainly wrong, and I'm working from the PACER docket of the case, which, uh, isn't. He was convicted of the charge that included the murder-for-hire scheme as its predicate.

I don't know if there was some other more overt "murder" charge that he had that was later dropped (I only see the original and the superseding indictment). But if that happened, the only material implication of it is that they changed the structure of how they charged the murder-for-hire scheme. They did not give up on that charge; in a significant sense, they bet (and won) their case on it --- as the sentencing memoranda point out as well.

This thread is an interesting example of how powerful the Internet folklore about Ulbricht is. Like, it stands up against the primary source documents of a conviction and sentencing! The sentencing documents must be what's wrong, not the Reason article! It's pretty fascinating, just sociologically.

From the same facts I have the completely opposite reading that you have. Despite the constant propaganda telling you otherwise in the USA, Ukraine has been a major defeat for NATO.

Economic sanctions on Russia were useless. China didn’t budge nor did India nor did most of Africa and South America highlighting the new irrelevance of the USA. Ukraine failed to properly negotiate after stopping the Kiev advance when it would have been advantageous to do so because the USA was a poor steward and is now sure to lose significant territories in the south. The war will not be allowed to keep going for long because it has a significant impact on Ukraine allies economies and these allies are already significantly pushing for new negotiations to take place. Sweden and Finland joined NATO at significant cost to them in their negotiations with Turkey. It’s not far from a complete debacle honestly.
