> I think the circumstantial evidence is quite strong, though.

It's quite mysterious to me why anyone would believe the FBI, an organization that has never been directed by a Democrat in its entire existence, would be politically motivated to tilt the scales toward Democrats. It just doesn't pass the laugh test.

> For some reason, the term "conspiracy theory" is never applied to things which are clear conspiracy theories like the claims about Russian Collusion

The thing about a conspiracy theory is that when it is investigated, and the theory pans out, then it transitions into simply a conspiracy. The claims of Russian Collusion were investigated by Robert Mueller and the Republican-chaired Senate Select Intel Committee, and they found that:

1) Trump's campaign manager met with a Russian spy along with Don Jr. and Jared Kushner at Trump's residence. They discussed an exchange of dirt on Clinton for relaxed Russian relations -- which both materialized. When this meeting was discovered they tried to cover it up, and lied about what they talked about.

2) Trump's campaign manager exchanged internal campaign data with a Russian GRU officer, which helped them target US voters in their psyops campaign.

3) The Russian GRU was responsive to Trump's public invitation to hack Hillary Clinton, and the GRU did hack the DNC. Trump loudly trumpeted those hacked materials during the campaign. Roger Stone, through a backchannel to Assange, had advance notice of the hacked materials and lied about his knowledge to Congress and the FBI, for which he was prosecuted, convicted, and later pardoned by Trump.

4) Trump himself claimed neither he nor his campaign had any contacts with Russians, and no business in Russia whatsoever. In fact, the investigation revealed that during the campaign, Trump was working on a Trump Tower Moscow deal with a penthouse dedicated to Vladimir Putin.

5) In fact, Trump's campaign had hundreds of contacts with Russians and lied about them all, including Jeff Session the attorney general who lied under oath to Congress about his contacts.

6) And finally, Trump obstructed the investigation, and lied about obstructing it. Then his hand-picked attorney general Bill Barr put his finger on the scale in the decision to indict Trump based on that obstruction. Barr subsequently lied about doing so to the public and in court filings. The evidence proving that element was unsealed just last week.

But you don't have to take my word for it. You can read the Mueller Report, Senate Intel Report, the Roger Stone court documents, and the recently released OLC memo. I don't know what you want to call the Trump Campaign working directly with a Russian GRU officer, but that sounds a lot like collusion to me.

As far as the whole thing being a "hoax", the Durham investigation has turned up next to nothing aside from an acquittal, and has gone on longer than the Mueller investigation at this point. It's sad to me so many are clinging onto the "witch hunt" and "hoax" line at this point. In fact, we were right all along, just as we were right about Trump being a aspiring despot who was willing to hang onto power at any cost.
Yes, operational costs are still the huge factor.
> There isn’t enough profit...

Some private prison corporations and judges both felt it was profitable enough.
Two Pennsylvania judges received $2.8M in bribes from private prisons to send 4,000 kids to the private prisons with long sentences; apparently ruining 4,000 kids lives was profitable enough to justify $2.8M in bribes. One of the judges has managed to get released early.

>> That's a silly question.

You asked for numbers of a population that has no census, I stated that it was significant, which is the point in question. I can prove that those people exist and then it's a matter of threshold. E.g, "how many atoms in that falling piano" -- "enough to kill you if it hits you".

I don't follow, will review the thread(s) again to see what that is (would have helped to reiterate btw). The irony is that I'm feeling the same way (do you care about the corruption of the Trump administration as well?)

> So, it's important to remember that, for example, knowledgeable Christians refer to God as the creator in the sense of (1)

I am very curious why you think that - given that the Bible and all common teachings of it that I've ever seen very explicitly define God as the creator in the second sense (Genesis very clearly describes past events - not just Let there be light and so on, which could be taken as metaphors for every day dawning, but also Adam and even and all of their descendants, which are described and were understood throughout history as ancestors, not metaphors). The Jewish calendar is even numbered since the year of creation.

Also, while I'm now atheistic, I received at least basic Eastern Orthodox education in school, and the very explicit notion there was that God was the creator of the universe; I also know modern Catholic teaching explicitly names God as the cause of the Big Bang itself, or whatever else science finds to be the mechanism by which the observable universe formed.

Also, while many do accept the possibility of miracles, even some commonly recurring miracles (like the transformation of bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ during Holy Communion during every Sunday Mass), the working of the natural world is accepted as ordained by God, but not personally directed by Him - this is quite explicit at least in Catholicism and Orthodoxy, where any direct intervention of God on Earth is seen as a miracle, usually related to a Saint.

Note: I am not saying that there are no Christians that believe what you are saying, or that it somehow runs counter to Christianity. I am only saying that I don't think it is a common understanding of Christianity, even one limited to more literate/knowledgeable Christians; e.g. I don't think the Pope believes what you are saying.

There is no right and wrong side here, there is only your side and the other side. Both sides think they are the right side and the other side is the wrong side (obviously).

Debate works when each side thinks that the other side might have something worthwhile to contribute despite being wrong, even if that contribution is nothing more than capitulation. But if the other side is evil (rather than merely wrong) then even capitulation is no longer a viable option because evil cannot be allowed to merely resign and go about its business. Evil must be eliminated.

I am guessing the guard rails are a symptom of Conway's Law.

In the 80s, we expected to actually code most of a system ourselves. (even in the mid-90s, I personally recall a startup where we had less than a handful of dependencies on the day we sold)

Nowadays, I gather[0] large numbers of people largely develop by plumbing together a bunch of dependencies.

When it's mostly your own code, guard rails may be redundant. When it's mostly Someone Else's Code, guard rails become effective, if not required.

When it's mostly your own code, there's a lot of crunch code[1] relative to parsley code and glue code, and well-meant guard rails may pose obstructions. When it's mostly Someone Else's Code, there's a lot of glue and parsley code relative to crunch, and guard rails provide a handy place to hang all the plumbing.

Five of my teammates had it. One of them got long Covid.

The US is a leader in the developed world when it comes to the venn diagram of co-morbidities, obesity, and poor access to healthcare for the people most afflicted by it.

It also has a generous helping of anti-collective-action public attitudes, horrible sick time policy, and a large fragment of the population that's been primed to believe all sorts of unscientific nonsense, due to a few decades of cynical and self-serving political messaging.

All of these factors are present in other countries, but to a lesser extent.
How is that possibly the issue here?
If I'm reading this correctly, extension developers want a way to read the user clipboard with a separate permission dialog than having to also request the ability to inject scripts into pages? If that is the case I can partially see why this is the way it is. The clipboard reading permission is part of the privacy controls built into the browser. So with page injection, the extension would have to request permission for sites that it wants to read the clipboard from. Otherwise, a separate dialog would give unhindered access to read from the clipboard. Am I understanding that correctly?

No mitigations are going to be entirely or even largely consequence free. It is a balance of harms. Do nothing was never an option, we should have been better at what we did do, in terms of effectiveness against COVID and also in reducing other harms.

Of course, the sooner and the more completely the virus is controlled (e.g. China) the sooner normal life can resume.

Does any one have a sense of the likelihood that Google extends the original timeline for this changeover? How can you force everyone to update their software (in some cases overhaul) to a new system that isn't fully built yet?

My company has two Chrome extensions, one of which is partly updated, and the other of which we haven't started yet. We have no idea what we'll discover when we begin the process of updating the second one, and we've been burned by Google's 'upgrades' in the past (Google Docs canvas-based rendering comes to mind). The worst-case scenario is that it is either impossible to migrate, or that it would cost so much that it would wipe out years of revenue.

I've talked with others in the accessibility space, and they are concerned about how this forced migration will impact the market for 'niche' tools like accessibility extensions. They may simply cease to exist. Hopefully Brave or other Chromium browsers will continue to allow legacy extensions.

So a bubble is unary in that it represents pi with single molecules in a circle. Then, forces tug at it--like gravity a tiny bit, but moreso wind and especially the hyperlocal flow of air driven by eg temperature (and particle concentration) that want it to not be spherical. But the bubble membrane wants to be spherical because that's its most stable shape. Here we're thinking of big huge bubbles, those exemplify this more, bubbles like 20 cm in diameter. So it's a tug of war between the air and the bubble, with the air tending to infinitely deformed and therefore inescapably burst bubble and the bubble tending to pi.
> There is no right and wrong side here, there is only your side and the other side. Both sides think they are the right side and the other side is the wrong side (obviously).

Obviously. That's why I put them in quotes. I was just following the example in your comment where there is a self-righteous "right" side, and the "wrong" side is wrong from their perspective.

I think the shared goals consensus and the logical reasoning I described is what makes it painfully obvious to wider public if there is true malice. Why not the "right" side use it?

Only if it has been shown in this way that the wrong side is actually wrong, but the imperfections of the system let them act and do evil, then warfare (which is what you seem to be describing, more or less) might be the next step.

Not OP of this post, just came across it. I'm a heavy namecheap user, and will continue to use them, but this did make me a little concerned. From the post:

> so, setting up 2fa on namecheap prevents anyone from just logging into your account if your credentials get leaked or stolen. great, they can't just manage your domains. HOWEVER, the namecheap support portal (at http://support.namecheap.com) uses the same credentials for login BUT it never asks for 2fa. if you get leaked credentials you can just sign in to the support portal. because of how badly designed it is you can even change the support email for the account with no confirmation and no info being sent out to the old email.

> how is that a big deal?

> well, you can just open domain transfer tickets from the support portal and hijack domains anyways, you can probably even pretend to not understand how anything works and ask them to change dns for you, etc...
