> It's because Tor does a much better job of being usable to general user

By having a browser ship with Tor, yes. The rest of Tor is hardly less complicated than running I2P. And I'm not saying that I2P needs to be as popular as Tor. If I2P never gets to having a competitor to the Tor Browser, it will always remain in minority use. That doesn't mean people shouldn't be aware of it or consider it as an alternative for their own use.

> combined with the network effect of Tor Hidden Services

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I2P is almost entirely focused around hidden services, and those services more or less work the same way for the end user with the added bonus that there's a loose sort of "DNS" that creates human readable URLs for services. How does Tor's services have more of a network effect than those on I2P?

> means that more people think of Tor as the "dark web" and more people will use Tor.

Yes. That also isn't anywhere near an ideal knowledge level these users should have. It's not the problem of I2P or even the responsibility of Tor per se that people think this way.

Someone who is reading this very comment and thinks that Tor is the end-all-be-all of the dark web and isn't privy to its origins should think twice before relying on it, because they clearly don't understand the tool that they are using. They probably shouldn't be doing anything remotely "private" or "anonymous" on the internet if all they know is that Tor is the magic thing they install to hide the naughty things they do.

I think people here are misunderstanding me. I'm not saying to never use Tor under any circumstance. I'm telling people to think before they use a tool with known flaws and an interesting origin story. There's nothing unreasonable about this.
This only seems like an odd thing, not to use them, if you assume the cost of operating them is at or close to zero. It is not.
> My point being that many people are not able to objectively look at something and make a decision. Their opinions and feelings will always get mixed in.

Isn't the idea that individuals will have biases, but on average they will cancel each other out when aggregated together? I don't think that is necessarily true, but I think it is overly simplistic to say that individuals having biases means the consensus of the crowd can't work.
> what about the false positives (people who get forced treatment while claiming that they are not ill and don't need it and then that turns out to be actually true).

We have a criminal system even though the exact same is true in some crimes.
Hacker News ain't that bad.
How about on HN, you only have 10 article upvotes a day, use them wisely.
Why do people act like the tiny slice of life where you're dying is a really important part
I've done this, though not intentionally. My friends puzzle with me for a moment, until one of three things happen:

1) We remember the event correctly,

2) I realize that I confused it with something else,

or 3) I/we decide all of our memories are too poor to recall the event, and drop the matter.

Edit: I've also had an employer press me quite hostilely about an event we remembered differently, as well -- and we were unable to reconcile with things like email. I simply refuse to say something that isn't true, or affirm something that I'm truly uncertain about.
> When the case against Novak was presented to a grand jury, Detective Thomas Connor claimed the people who called about the parody "honest to God believed" it was the department's official Facebook page. But after Novak sued Connor, the detective admitted that was not true.

Seems like perjury to me. Of course he will get away with it because police are above the law.
I'm a forensic psychiatrist. If there were an easy answer to this, we would have found it already, but I'll offer the following observation:

I currently work in Oregon, where (in practice) it's more difficult than any other state or country where I have worked to admit someone involuntarily to the hospital. This has resulted in a greater number of mentally ill people staying untreated until the point that they do something that gets them arrested (which may or may not involve serious harm to someone else).

In my opinion, this particular balance between individual autonomy vs involuntary treatment does not seem to be a net positive for either the community or individual rights.
Unless you're being sarcastic, Google absolutely lets the free software world make free software builds for the android reference developer hardware and they have been doing this continuously & consistently since the ancient Nexus days.

It’s better for them to not say anything about it when they don’t release the model. This is what Meta has done for the same technology and I respect that.

They don’t imply any ridiculous idea that such models should or even can be “racially balanced”. But if they want to cover their butts from the possibility of silly controversy, I think that’s cowardly and unnecessary, but at least they could not go out of their way to imply that such controversy should be taken seriously.

Why not also question if he was infected by corona virus?
You know the virus that has a documented effect on the health of the heart.

And the moment both groups are pretty large, the vaccinated and the least once infected with corona but the virus is never a suspect in certain groups.

Blood clots, myocarditis etc. is only ever attributed to the vaccine and not the virus.

Using a third-party cloud only ensures that all work scenarios enjoy the same lowest-common denominator.

My preference is to select one of the work contexts (e.g., the office) as primary and to put a workstation there, then remote to that workstation from secondary contexts (e.g., at home). This configuration gives me first-class computing where I need it most, in the primary context, and a decent second-class option when I need to work in other contexts.

I happily worked with this configuration for more than a decade and found it served all of my local and remote needs.
I think when people forget that the crisis in 07/08 wasn't just a dip in property values. The entire financial system had managed to get itself propped up on extreme leverage against the single bet that mortgages would almost never default. That extreme leverage put the whole system in a highly unstable state, and it took just a little stress to pull the whole thing down. It collapsed the entire risk management systems of banks, funds and companies across the entire economy. That meant that there was nobody in the market that could lend, and everyone needed to borrow to try and plug the gaping hole that was ripped in their balance sheets.

The financial system just isn't completely levered to housing that way today. Today, an economic slowdown might lead to a dip in property prices, but to find an event that would cause widespread and long-lasting damage to the financial system I think you're going to have to look elsewhere.
I can see what you're getting at here but in this case, a lack of changes is NOT desired or virtuous.

But I agree, the post does seem similar to an individual trying to get attention for their cause, ie. 'Google locked me out...'. To me the tone is probably trying to help sell their narrative of them being this small thing not worth subpoenaing.

> As far as I can tell, the current “consensus” is that the Hunter Biden laptop, while real, can’t prove any unethical behavior on the part of the president.

Completely immaterial. Polling shows that -- despite the guilt or involvement of President Biden -- many Americans would have changed their votes had they thought the story was real or been exposed to the story. That's dangerous.

There is no requirement that one ignore the possibility of crime when voting. Americans can base their vote on whatever criteria they want. Biden doesn't need to be indicted or convicted in order for Americans to decide the evidence is too much to vote for him.

So yes, if facebook and twitter's actions led to people not having the information that would have changed their vote and perhaps changed the election results (we can never know), then it is extremely concerning why the information was censored.
I hear you, but OTOH in this thread are two alternative implementations, one which seems especially focused on "bolt tightening" some of the edge cases: https://github.com/01mf02/jaq#assignments

Isn't the adage to only build a framework after the 3rd or 4th implementation? That seems to apply to writing a RFC, also
All these dev-machines-in-a-cloud sound wonderful from a security, compliance, and onboarding perspective. What is often forgotten is that this is now a service you’re operating and a massive SPOF. If it goes down (and it will), productivity drops to exactly zero. It’s like sending your devs home until it’s fixed.

This is a feature in search of a problem for me. I never wake up in the morning and go “Gee only if I can code on random computers”.

It sounds super nice but then I think about it a little more and it’s just fluff.
Wow this is really fun!
There’s also the fun part where you can’t organize Google accounts (e.g. which account is the default). I have two Google accounts, my main account and a professional account. My main account is where I use things like YouTube and my personal email. If the two accounts get swapped and my professional account becomes the default, the only way to fix this is by logging out of all the accounts and logging in again in the right order. Fun experience! Especially with MFA and physical keys.
the answer is "You ask them". Saved you one hour.
You have a judicial system in place to prevent these false positives.
How did you get THAT from the linked post?
Because they're already jumping to a biased conclusion by asking the question. Heart disease was a top killer before Covid existed. For all we know he ate poorly but still looked fit. Or had a genetic condition. So why even ask that question here?

Covid/vaccine related questions should best be left to topics concerning large scale studies, not a single tragic instance.
This looks like Ada.
Yeah, but there you come out the other end with your mind intact. These forcibly prescribed treatments have side effects that can do irreversible damage. Can't get that appeal hearing if you can't think straight anymore.
There's an update at the bottom of the article disputing the claim:

"Your report that Mr. Goldstein withdrew millions of dollars in advance of the “pause” is flatly mistaken. The reality is that Mr. Goldstein did not withdraw even one dollar in the four weeks prior to the pause—to the contrary, he deposited over $90,000 in CEL tokens in late May, just three weeks before the pause. Most of the supposed “withdrawals” from our client’s account were, in fact, regular-course transfers between his accounts and involved corresponding deposits. Indeed, in the year before the pause, Mr. Goldstein had net positive deposits into Celsius (including interest), not withdrawals. Your account unfortunately distorts Mr. Goldstein’s position, as he currently has millions locked up in Celsius, making him one of the Company’s largest unsecured creditors. Nuke is proud of his work to create a secure platform for Celsius users, and has been working tirelessly day in and day out to help restructure the Company to the benefit of all its creditors."

> chose to do nothing since it helped him, and obstructed justice [2]

So then it's totally equivalent to the Hunter Biden laptop in that, while perhaps incriminating, there's no obvious criminal conduct (Mueller didn't press charges).

However, it still led to americans voting one way, which the polls show would have also been the case had Americans known about the laptop.

Either way, people deserve to know. Our vote isn't a criminal conviction.
This is Neural Vector Space Voting, NVSV.
Or replace the 30-cent capacitor that's likely causing it.
This shows that SimulaVR is run by a bunch of children. Every subpoena says this, but you work with the attorneys to figure out the time and manner that works best for the deposition. I routinely flew thousands of miles to do depositions in places that worked best for the deposed.

And complaining about how the subpoena's asking for tons of documents. Again, every subpoena does this; you have to negotiate with the attorneys on the other side to figure out what they actually want. If SimulaVR was suing Meta, then yeah, Meta will play hardball. But they're a third-party here - chances are, attorneys for Meta are looking for very specific things (namely, economics to support Meta's arguments about the VR market) and SimulaVR will be able to negotiate a way to provide that info without turning their company inside and out.

And if you are asking WHY SimulaVR should be required to provide ANY info at all... well, that's the American legal system. Courts and parties have broad power to obtain evidence from third parties.

Basically, SimulaVR needs to grow up and hire lawyers to handle this.
I'm surprised by how good the result is, what tool did you use for this?

> Nearly every problem involving people or the environment is going to become a wicked problem.

Plenty of problems are well-defined. Even the ones involving people.

Just because people create situations that are wicked at the macro level, it doesn't mean that most problems reside there. If most problems were wicked, society would never evolve.
Democracy requires a free press and free distribution of ideas. Censorship of salient, truthful political information by private or public parties is dangerous to democracy.

They are ethically and legally bound not to. They can be disbarred, sanctioned, sued by SimulaVR, even thrown in prison. You're here ranting about the US court system, but you're wrong about a lot of it.
Yeah, the thing we need is more policing and non-consensual treatment. What the hell is wrong with you?
The application processor core used in the SoC (the A53) is a decade old now. ARM’s progress on little cores is absurdly slow.
> Formulate a vague hypothesis H1 so broad that it is not extremely unlikely (thus has non-negligible prior, P(H1) > 0), then in the updating step sneakily introduce a much more specific hypothesis H1’ that is far less likely a priori, but that yields a high probability for the evidence P(E|H1’).

H0 is "the lottery is fair" (null hypothesis). H1 is "somebody rigged the lottery". It's not outrageously unlikely, it's happened many times before and it's something people can easily understand, and it's not specific about the details. So maybe someone would say "Without knowing more, I think there's a 1% chance that happened". H1’ is "The lottery is rigged by a cult that worships the multiples of {9}" - This is the sneaky step. If it weren't such an obviously outrageous example, you might not notice that this specific hypothesis is very unlikely. However, H1’ perfectly predicts the evidence that we did observe! So basically, if you plug in the numbers, without adjusting for the fact that H1’ does not have a 1% chance of being true, you turn "I think there's a 1% chance someone rigged the lottery" into "The lottery was almost certainly rigged - 99.9997% chance!"
The justice system has nontrivial checks on the power of the state to incarcerate people and it already has massive problems, what would a system without those checks do?

To be clear, are you saying people who commit crimes should (in some cases) face forced treatment. OR. That mental illness itself should mean forced treatment?

Sentencing someone to a secure hospital rather than a prison for crimes is one thing. Sentencing them for not fitting in is another.

Leaving them out is inhumane to the rest of the society. Is the right of an individual greater than society? especially one who has been violent in the past towards other members of the society either through one's volition or not?

The lawmakers and the public in American in general are not able to digest this correctly. There is no ethical dilemma here. One person who is/can harm another human being needs to be put in a place where they can't cause harm(This includes self-harm as well).

I read the whole article and yes the dream machine is interesting. I'm just commenting because there have been multiple articles on front page today about hallucinogens and the standard thought on HN is that these things are beneficial to society. I simply disagree.
I agree it doesn’t sound like a great idea, but someones rights are going to be violated either way. Either we forcibly admit people who appear to need it (with the false positive that come with) or we continue to violate the rights of the public to not be constantly harassed and assaulted by these people.
What is the fundamental difference between coroutines and userspace threads that makes such optimizations possible for coroutines and impossible for userspace threads?
Hey, I did that too in high school and college! I think I must have been one of the very last ones (late aughts). What a cool and fascinating piece of machinery the "modern" (now obsolete) three platter tree and "brain" system is, isn't it?

I still remember splicing together There Will Be Blood and enjoying looking at some of the beatiful still frames.

My boss at the time spliced together Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse, and somehow fucked up and spliced an entire reel out of order... and nobody ever noticed (because Grindhouse was full of intentional fake projectionist mistakes, being an homage to an old era). He ended up noticing on his own on the second day of showings and fixing it overnight!
I mean, there used to be assylums. Of course those had their own problems/abuses too (as the article points out).

"including the right to avoid the consequences of their behavior."

To me, this reeks of bias. They don't avoid consequences. The consequences are different (secure psychiatric facility vs prison). The main point of the punishment for a crime is to prevent it from happening again (and Gove the victim closure/recourse within the confines of the law). Stick a psychotic person in prison, they likely will be even worse when they come out. At least with treatment there's a chance at recovery and prevention.

There needs to be a balance between mandating treatments and freedom. Can we mandate testing, treatment, and restrictions in freedoms for infectious diseases in the name of protecting society? It seems like there's a lot of conflicting precedent on that (STIs, vs covid, vs flu, etc).

Also, if the state institutions shut down so long ago, is there any background information on the increase in the mentally ill in prison and on the street? Is there an overall increase in mental illness, or just a distribution issue? Or could it even be diagnostic sensitivity or scope creep of the definitions (likely what the ACLU and others are truly worried about, in addition to the Minority Report-esque pre-crime element)?
