Actually, you're the one spreading misinformation. I would ask you to stop.

Please revisit your own sources, they say "some files" were authentic, meaning not all were authenticated. My source is 2 years newer than yours and confirms that the laptop contents were handled and modified by multiple people over the course of several years.

Additionally from your source:

"An analysis by Distributed Denial of Secrets of 128,755 emails allegedly copied from the laptop and circulated by allies and former staff of President Donald Trump showed "signs of tampering" including 145 modification dates and emails created more than a year after Hunter Biden allegedly had the laptop."

Here is a quote from the source I posted earlier:

“[An expert] also found records on the drive that indicated someone may have accessed the drive from a West Coast location in October 2020, little more than a week after the first New York Post stories on Hunter Biden’s laptop appeared.”

“Over the next few days, somebody created three additional folders on the drive, titled, ‘Mail,' ‘Salacious Pics Package’ and ‘Big Guy File’ — an apparent reference to Joe Biden.”

...

In other words, Mac Isaac [note: the guy who was given the laptop] says that he has seen claims about what the laptop contains that don’t actually reflect what he saw on the laptop at the outset.

I'd always go for hot-swappable switches though, since my last keyboard (a Ducky) developed key chattering issues after a while, and I'd want to fix that if it happened again.

Can't speak for Australia, but Israel in 1970's considered colour television as "a luxury that would increase social gaps"[0], and a similar colour burst erasing happened. This has lead to a rise of anti-erasing devices that reconstructed the colour burst, returning the colours.

You can e.g. electrolyze water at home and see bubbles. Of course this proves nothing but the fact that water has something in it that makes bubbles at plus or minus, and regularly so. You can add salt/soda and see that it goes faster. All this is not a direct evidence of H or O or what electricity is, but at least some indirect one that can be progressed further, even if you won’t.

You can buy a complex device like a microwave oven or a chemistry lab and experiment with them, checking how they map to scientific knowledge, and asking on physics/chemistry SE about your findings and getting answers from people completely uninterested of fooling you, who are not knowledgeable of what you’re doing besides what you described.

It’s harder with C=6, but by messing with chemicals you can at least make some natural sense of what 6 means in that theory.

Religion at its face value cannot be experimented on at all. Any coincidences (if you find what to experiment on) are so irregular that can only be explained by statistics, even if you won’t. The only way to “study” religious knowledge is to fall for an interpretation of the day, which is always based on some experimental knowledge which others extracted from nature, because these people are interested in converting more adepts from a general population.

You’re correct that there is no direct way to learn and proof to yourself due to materialistic limitations. But when you take plausible interests and statistical phenomena into account, you can easily see yourself what has much more evidential depth and innocence of presupposition.

Commerce is already inherently collaborative and as Deirdre McCloskey puts it, fosters certain virtues. I think Square always had less potential to go in a dark direction.
I don't think it was financial reasons (or at least not in the sense that it was costing the country as a whole money).

The fossil fuel industry spent Billions on propaganda. Politicians had the option of fighting that, or using it to become more popular and so get rich.

This cost their countries Billions more than they ever earned. They're still doing it, but they might wake up soon. Still a total waste of time, energy and money though.

> That, in
combination with the downward pressure on wholesale electricity prices, threatened the
finances of the major utilities. Particularly hard hit were the 26 GW of natural gas-fired combined
cycle (GFCC) plants built after 2000 in anticipation of substantial growth in Spain’s electricity
demand, making gas the single largest source of installed capacity. This brand new fleet saw its
overall load factor drop from around 50 percent in the mid-2000s to below 20 percent in 2011
and then continue to fall, almost to single digits in 2014

> As a result of these developments, the promotion of renewable power went, in just a few
years, from enjoying broad public support, or at least tolerance, to facing substantial opposition.
Particularly outspoken in their criticism were large electricity consumers and the major utilities,
whose returns on investment in non-renewable generating capacity was being put at risk
(Linares and Labandeira 2013). These various pressures in turn prompted similar policy
responses by successive governments led by different parties.

So prices went down, country made money, big interests lost money, specifically natural gas wasn't being burnt enough for their liking, renewables got paused for a while.

Russia (and several other authorotarian regimes) benefitted, but it was mostly Spanish people conning other Spanish people for money.

It's a complex problem. Design agencies and individual designers are blighted by the spectre of "spec work" [https://www.nospec.com] [https://creativemornings.com/talks/mike-monteiro--2/1]. The tl;dr of it is that business will approach agencies and demand they work on a product for free, of a a cost lower than the wok is worth in an act of good faith for the promise of fully paid work in the future. Except the work rarely comes. The upshot is designers are taught the value of their worth at college/university.

The other problem is the FOSS community itself. See the concurrent post about GIMP [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32624055]. Opinionated devs that either don't see the value of design or having a designer. I know that this isn't true for all projects, but there a bad apples amongst the bigger, more well known projects (GNOME for example) that will spoil it for everyone else. Again, GIMP is a great example of this. As a result, most 'passion projects' lead to designers working on small projects that inspire them, which are rarely software related, ore they look to create something that can provide an income, either as a small second income or as a new business.

Portugal cares because there are a significant amount of Portuguese business interests in Brasil. The remainders of the Portuguese financial system are there and the destruction of Portugal Telecom(the state owned telecom) happened because of bad deals in Brazil. Portugal telecom was the main technological champion in Portugal and it is my theory that it set back Portugal’s ability to grow its tech sector maybe for decades(not that it was a strong one). This because it provided employment to engineering positions and without it the economy of the country was/is too simple to have demand for those positions. That means that most of the newly minted engineers just leave to never return.

Technically speaking, if they said it's G# it's G#.

G# minor is a much better use of the key signature system than Ab: 5 sharps versus 7 flats. In practical terms, that's a proxy for it being more common.

Your vision that minor scales are constructed from A minor is valid; thinking it's by adding flats exclusively is misguided.

I'm not going to go out on a limb and defend the fact that sharps-based minor scales could be more common than flat-based, as that's likely not the case. A much easier argument against your logic is that flats-based major scales are used all the time.

Any given key signature can be either major or minor, be it made of sharps or of flats. It can be seen as altering C major or A minor indeed, but the alteration is allowed to go either way.
The other thing that is worth saying is that TFM of RTFM fame is usually really quite good, but also really quite large. I read all of nmap's documentation as a teenager and learnt a lot about networking. I'm sure 99% of the time all I need is -sS -O, and sometimes -P, but I'm very happy with the knowledge/time rato. It's a wonderful, huge tool and I know that if I need to use a bit more functionality I can do do.

A lot of the shitty guides do the equivalent of saying "nmap? Just run sudo nmap -sS HOSTNAME to do a port scan!", but spread out across ten pages of SEO crap. It's not exactly wrong, but it's not exactly helpful either. The trouble is, of course, that now if you Google "how to do a port scan Linux" you get that guide, rather than the manual that explains in detail why it's a hard problem and a bunch of ways and subtleties about doing it. Fast forward ten years and anything other than -sS looks weird.

Samba is the same, but somehow, infinitely more complex in detail and, because the tools have different names, less searchable. Want to mount and active directory share? You probably need kinit and to know the word "Kerberos". Browse other shares? Smbtree. Make them persistent together and mount on boot? That's another silly, overly detailed guide. And each one of these guides comes with its own lack of detailed understanding by the authors, focus on ads and SEO, and further obscures the fact that the original FM covers all of this in detail, but it's long and complicated, because, well, it's complicated!

I personally think that open source projects would do well to maintain a cookbook FAQ of "here is a set of common usages of this tool". Many man pages do, with one liners, but anything more complex tends to be hidden. It would be great if those who understand the complex subtleties involved write a definitive way to do things, rather than expecting everyone to read all of TFM all the time -- and I equally realise that, as someone who makes complex software to do complex things, half the time you really would rather your users RTFM you spent so long writing at any rate...
RTFM is my superpower. "How did you possibly do ____ with complicated technology ____?!" -- "Well, I read the manual."
Every time I come across posts like this one I think the respective author has spent too much time reading Kim Stanley Robinson and got carried away.

Governments and their respective departments (at all levels: federal, state, local, etc.) communicate with their constituents via social media, Twitter in particular as well as via the media outlets that will report on said statements from Twitter.

Change the algorythm such that those messages no longer reach people and you can bet the respective countries will pass legislation and puninitive measures against Twitter.

>This is being awfully kind to a platform that 77% of Americans have absolutely nothing to do with

Except I outlined some of the other ways people interact with Twitter, even without accounts. You seem to be incredulous that other forms of media rely on Twitter... You should look a bit closer next time you turn the TV on.

I just did and there was a segment about Russia playing titled "'Slower burn' of Russia's economy has begun". Guess where almost all of the footage they aired came from? Twitter. Guess how the reporters are finding people on the ground to interview? Twitter. Guess how analysts are keeping abreast of military developments (e.g. troop movement, statements released by governments, etc.)? Twitter.

Once I was working with an api that used mongodb in the back. Mongo uses very large integers as ids and I was looking at the json generated through a json viewer extension in the browser. I was having problems because I couldn't find the document I was looking at in the database.
Turns out, the viewer used the browser's JSON.parse and that was converting the id to a number and losing precision since it was so large.
Ever since, I prefer to look at json raw first and then use formatters just to look at the shape, not the data.

This is why I don’t mind buying TV Shows on iTunes. What I ultimately want is a DRM Free file, and I know how to losslessly strip DRM from iTunes media, so whatever, I’ll go ahead and buy whatever I want to watch.

The difference with audiobooks, though, is there are several audiobook retailers that are natively DRM Free, such as downpour and libro.fm. Why buy from the DRM’d vendor, who could increase their protection at any time, when you have DRM-Free options you could be giving your money to instead?
I guess God has to be not like everything else. He has to have access to a larger set of axioms or something. Transcendence allows him to go beyond what makes sense. I mean, I’ve no idea what I’m talking about, but I have to acknowledge that the universe exists even if its existence makes no sense. I feel like I have to resign in the end, and I’m not even a religious person.
>Not surprisingly, a lot of people assume that if an Audible search for an author or book comes up empty, that means there is no audiobook available.

Sethi [Sethi 81] observed that many of the nested declarations and expressions would become simpler if the indirection operator had been taken as a postfix operator instead of prefix, but by then it was too late to change.

Apart from that choice of syntax, both examples seen equivalent.
It is possible to compile Java and C# binaries. It is true that it is not as common and they were not designed that way, but I think this difference is mostly an implementation detail.

I see the article advocates for quantity over quality, superficial skimming over deep analysis, and quitting when things become uncomfortable. I strongly disagree with this stance.
I believe that instead of reading many books, you should read few books very well (it's a saying by a classic); and that high quality books are usually not easy, you need to put in some effort - generally, things that are worth it don't come easy.

I also don't understand the fetish for reading "many" books. What is your goal? Do you want to be a better human being, deepen your understanding of the human condition, get a taste of the best this art form has to offer? Or do you just want to kill time or impress others with the quantity of books read?
