>but we're talking past each other here.

No, you're just stubbornly wrong at this point.

>I'm saying the rest of the information on the phone that was leaked that wasn't relevant to the case was protected and can/should not be used in another investigation.

No, it's not. I cited the law on it. They have waived any privilege over any of that, it's not protected at all anymore it's free and clear for the plaintiff's attorneys, and in turn they can be subpoena'd by any other investigative effort same as any other 3rd party. Jones and his attorneys completely and utterly blew it. That's the law. Maybe you think the time limit in Texas should be two weeks or two months or there shouldn't be one, but that's not the rules and it is literally the job of lawyers to know and follow the rules in the courts they practice in.
Everything can fail. Being ignorant and pretending that things don't fail is naive. You have to be ready to handle failure.

>considered most of the failure conditions and designed mitigations to get the probability of safety failures below acceptable levels.

You are just repeating what I am saying. It's impossible to get rid of failure conditions, so you add mitigations in case it happens.
Did those media outlets state that Rittenhouse was a white supremacist as a factual statement? Admittedly I don’t follow the mainstream news outlets that much, but I never recall seeing that. Some opinion columnists might have wrote an opinion that he was a white supremacist, but that is protected speech. It’s also protected for news organizations to report when other notable people call Rittenhouse a white supremacist. They’d also be protected if they called him a white supremacist and they had evidence, like finding him writing the 14 words. But stating lies as facts when you either know their lies or have reason to suspect they’re lies and don’t check (reckless disregard for the truth) opens you up to defamation.

Defamation is actually very hard to prove. News organizations have been hit for defamation before but they typically don’t report in a way that they make factual claims they can’t prove. That’s why you often see news call politicians lies “incorrect statements” rather than lies.

Now, Jones elected to not comply with discovery and, as a result, defaulted on his lawsuit. Therefore we don’t know if he would have been found liable for defamation had he made a good faith effort to comply with the court. But we do know that the Sandy Hook conspiracy theories were lies, and we have good reason to believe Alex knew or suspected that based on his own statements and evidence produced during the depositions.
Solving problems like audio source separation (eg. Distinguishing multiple speakers in a noisy environment, or picking speech out of a background where music is playing) seems very much in FB's wheelhouse.
You said:

> the motivation behind those requests is risible.

It is quite hilarious that NIST suckered the industry into actually using Dual-EC, despite being worse than the other possible choices in nearly every respect. And this ignores the fact that the backdoor was publicly known for years. This actually happened; it’s not a joke.

The motivation behind the FOIA requests is to attempt to see whether any funny business is going on with PQ crypto.

If the NSA actually suckers any major commercial player into using a broken PQ scheme without a well-established classical scheme as a backup, that will be risible too.

Gambling is illegal for the same reasons drugs are illegal - the exploitative and addictive nature of it. Unfortunately the populace needs to be protected from itself. One need only look at the gambling addicts in New Orleans to see how unhinged other cities could get.
I like this aspect of HN.

On reddit (for example), the jokes, puns, and sarcasm clog up most threads, and it's hard to find signal in the noise.

HN has far less noise and is a better use of my time. It's the only community with as much density of information in the comments.

There are lots of funny sites and I bet HN users visit/enjoy them. I think a lot of us want one place without jokes.

Maybe, but they did pull the barrel from the museum and I'd presume they tried to find one that hadn't been used in living memory. Even if it's ONLY 50 years old it's still quite the biological time capsule. It should be verifiable though, as S. Cerevisiae is a well understood organism and the rate of mutation of various genes is well understood. They could compare to a number of yeasts form the area and if it's related, get a rough estimate of the age by working backwards.
Semver doesn't really apply here since nix always points at a specific version of each dependency. Multiple package versions are not visible to the same app. And you can include your own lockfile-like list.

So in practice, it's not really a bigger problem for nix than for any other release. If you need to freeze versions for an app, you freeze them. If you don't or if you're packaging a library, you can (usually) rely on automated PR testing to catch breakages and deal with them there.

But with typical production flow for a CD, you don't really have any classic quantization noise because you dither (probably with noise shaping) during downsampling to 16 bit; the effect is a perceptually-weighted 120dB dynamic range.

It doesn't matter that the poster is an audio engineer: there is simply no good science or objective evidence that people can hear the difference between well-recorded music played back with 24 vs. 16 bit media.
Animals bath or at least groom.

And if you’ve ever hunted you’d know wild animals often stink terribly and have a multitude of health issues ranging from parasites, worms, skin infections, etc.

Humans could get away with minimal bathing as well if they are willing to put up with those things as well.

This article... It's a article...

The oldest beer in the area HAS to be older than 400 years... But I haven't checked, but beer is old, real old, old everywhere.

Breweries isolate and propagate yeast all the time. Could be a 400yo yeast or a 4mil yo old yeast strain, it's yeast after all. It's old. Just because it was used 400 years ago doesn't matter. It's probably older. It happens all the time, at large breweries and small breweries.

Also Chicha is the wonderful spit based corn beer. The yeast probably won't be missed.

Side note.. I left my orange juice on my counter and it fermented with a yeast strain that's probably millions of years old... Did I resurrect it? Nope. If I plate it and grow a clean culture? Meh it still went down great though.

I don't mean to diss the work of the brewery but everyone does this. The article is just reaching for an article.

Ask HN: What do you do on weekend nights?
It has been eating at me for a few years now that on Friday and Saturday nights, the nights that would traditionally mean that a weekday warrior would unleash and unload and take advantage of the lack of bedtime and next-day obligation, on these nights the Internet dies. There are less posts on forums, less comments, less chats, less interaction overall. I thought for a while people were spending their time with family and friends, going out to bars and clubs, preparing for brief travel or weekend adventures, something along those lines... but when I encounter them on Monday and inquire, it turns out they didn't do anything different at all. Didn't sleep early, didn't go out partying, didn't do anything substantially different than Wednesday and Thursday nights, yet the Internet is dead.

Am I imagining it? What do you do, dear reader, on a weekend night, that differs from the other nights?

Your other post got nuked but to explain more:

It’s okay for some opinions to be suppressed in most places! Some opinions are almost universally considered to be bad, there are some really easy & gross examples that I think most of us can think of. Some are considered bad in a particular context.

The ones you mentioned are great examples of reasonable policy:

- banning covid misinformation to reduce deaths is good, look up “herman cain awards” to see some of the damage the misinfo has done

- banning harassment in the form of misgendering / deadnaming is good

Every rule that has ever existed for people is enforced with some degree of selectivity, if nobody reports a tweet there won’t be action. Posters and moderators are human, reported tweets are probably mostly different from one another and every human doing reviews is different.

It’s okay if your opinion is that a website or all websites should have no moderation based on opinions or anything at all. But Twitter disagrees and I’d guess most people do too!
It is not about nationality, or ethnicity, or anything else about people living there, except international recognition of the territory and the amount of sovereignty it has.

It is about geopolitical situation, where states A and C happen to have state B between them. When relations between A and C go real sour, then B becomes a buffer state between them (unless B is powerful enough to kick asses of both A and C, should anything escalate). The buffer state’s role in geopolitics is to get invaded first on the way, cause an international outrage, and hopefully defuse the tensions before A gets to “C proper” territory, or at least stall the invasion.
GLM-130B: An Open Bilingual Pre-Trained Model with 130B Parameters
Its funny that western history distorts the history of the rest of the world.

I hear western kids saying no one used to bathe in the ancient times.

As an Indian, it was practically mandatory for each and every individual to take a bath at-least two times a day. Additionally the following customs were very prevalent till recent times.

1. Washing legs after coming home from outside.
2. Washing hands, face and legs before sitting to eat food.
3. Washing whole body after sex.
4. Washing legs before entering others homes.
5. Leaving footwear outside the *gate* of any home before entering it.
6. A full bath in a river / lake / house tank *before* sunrise and once *before* sunset.

Also, body was supposed to be massaged with oil of sesame seeds (once a week), and greengram flour was rubbed on every part of the body. After sitting in the sun like this for a few minutes, the flour was scrubbed off by hand, and then a hot water bath taken.

For shampoo, two traditional herbs are recommended. Kunkudukai and shikakai. Both are used as it is without any processing. Kunkudukai would be crushed and mixed with water to form a liquid and then applied on head. Amazingly, it would form a lather when rubbed on the head. I remember doing this type of head bath every sunday, until about 2005. Any shampoo was forbidden in our home. The items were dead cheap too.

[Edit]

Kinkudukai is also called soapnut.

https://www.stylecraze.com/articles/benefits-of-soapnuts-for...

The above site tends to exaggerate the benifits a bit, but it is believed that kunkudukai inhibhits dandruff and is anti-fungal and anti-bacterial.

By personal experience, it tastes absolutely vomit inducing bitter and will burn your eyes to high hell if as much as a diluted drop enters it.

Its a natural, safe and environmentally friendly way of taking a head bath.
First for small things the company is going to have to DIY it in small claims court. For larger items even if they win with treble damages will that pay for their lawyer bills?

I wouldn't mind if elevator music was specially-made similarly to how Japanese train stations have (mostly) their own special chimes.

Obviously not every single elevator should have its own chime, but maybe regional or some other distinguishing factor could play a role.
Not necessarily (well I guess it depends what you mean by "pushed"), but I think tube amps naturally boost the even-numbered harmonics at all volume levels. This sounds good but is distortion.

I guess I don't need to mention the privacy concerns and consumer rights, considering this is HN.

Same. And in any event Twitter has never claimed the platform isn’t rife with bots, all their reporting about it has been around what % of mDAU they represent. Where m is “monetizeable”. They didn’t want to sell, Musk forced them into this negotiation on the basis of the whole bots thing. It’s staggering to me anybody is giving him even an ounce of benefit of the doubt here. From the very beginning he’s acted in bad faith and like he knows he’s unable to be held accountable for anything should he not want to be held accountable.
I’m actually ok with that. All organised religions are motivated by power and money, so why not?

That's the way artists hold a pencil. I don't think that calligraphers use that method.

As an unusual example, here[0] is something like Palmer script being written by an Indian. It's unique, the hand is positioned almost directly below the letter being written! The author claims they are using a 0.9 mm pencil, even though the writing looks like it was written with a pen. I think they flatten the lead to a bevel edge and use that for the downstrokes, while sliding the edge sideways for the thins. Exceptional motor control, I'm jealous.

He spells out the pay of this later in the article. It’s about 5 sales to 1 kept. The example he used is if person A buys three things and return two, they have to sell two more things to others just to make up for the loss caused by person A.

What's the source for the amount of employees? I couldn't find anything about that, let alone specifically 50 or 75.

I also think it's unreasonable to say that in a 50 person company that sells junk and makes YouTube videos that the median salary would be 100k. And even if it was, 50 * 150k is $7.5 million, not "around 10 million". The difference is significant considering we're talking about a $2m fine.

In Mainland China a multitude of tech and ad companies are working to ensure that every elevator in the country has a screen and audio for a never-ending loop of commercials. Depending on the city, the coverage of premium office and residential buildings is around 100%.

For older elevators that would not allow much modification, the hardware was a DLP projector mounted under the ceiling with a top portion of the doors covered in a reflective matte sticky film. All the new elevators come with some sort of flat screen pre-installed.

Hardware is cheap, regulations are lax, it's a decent source of extra revenue for the property management companies.
