> This is a brief, not the ruling of the court.

I'm aware, but in the brief they said that a plain text reading of the HEROES act gave the president this power. Since it's a brief is that meaningless? I don't really know how briefs are created.

And I wasn't aware the doctrine existed before, thanks. Though apparently the term was never used in a majority opinion until this court.
The law says "[the Secretary] may waive or modify any statutory or regulatory provision applicable to the student financial assistance programs under title IV of the [Education Act] as the Secretary deems necessary in connection with a war or other military operation or national emergency."

It doesn't say that the Secretary can cancel the debt entirely. I think it's somewhat of a stretch to say that waiving or modifying a regulatory provision related to the debt is the same thing as canceling it. Most people would interpret that as meaning something like you can pause repayment, adjust interest rates, etc.
It's certainly a bifurcation for feed authors.
I've read that the controversy re: flushable wipes is a case of mistaken identity, both on the part of consumers (who might assume all wipes are flushable) and sanitation engineers (misidentifying baby wipes etc as flushable ones, which should be way disintegrated).

If wipes marketed as flushable were such a clear and direct problem, the iron-clad lawsuits would have wiped (heh) them off the market by now.

If you're super bored, you can watch videos of flushable wipes being tested. They disintegrate quickly, as designed.

Right, which is why I wrote this in response to the comment that specifically talked about how regulation was required to prevent them from solving it exclusively within their scope, in the most dystopian way possible, and motivate these companies to direct the lobbying they're already doing to fix the problem.

Place I used to work at in Australia 15+ years ago used SUSE. Novell owned it and they positioned it as their replacement for NetWare, and a lot of ex-NetWare sites ending up running it (at least for a while). But even that place, we had more Oracle Linux than SUSE. Everything that ran on Solaris got migrated to Oracle Linux (e.g. Oracle RDBMS); everything that ran on NetWare (GroupWise, eDirectory) got migrated to OES (SUSE plus extra ex-NetWare bits). But then I think most of the SUSE went away when GroupWise/eDir were replaced by Exchange/AD on Windows. Whereas they are probably still using Oracle Linux today. Actually, originally we were going to use RHEL, but found Red Hat’s sales team too difficult to deal with, whereas we already were an Oracle customer.

Nobody wants to discuss potential harms in a grassroots advocacy movement for legalization or normalization - we saw the same thing in decades past with cannabis.

The reasons are understandable, but the results aren't great. I would rather see more openness up front even at the cost of complicating the message, than see folks end up with this kind of trouble because advocates chose not to be as honest about the risks as about the benefits.

Although, I was hoping for forgiveness to proceed. The decision is not really the upsetting part (for me). IMO the interpretations of the legal framework and decisions for SCOTUS often quite conveniently align to modern political party lines.

As I've mentioned in another comment, SCOTUS is compromised by political interests despite the facade of impartiality. The legal framework we have is no different than the bible or quran or any other text that has produces religions, political parties or ideologies. There are many interpretations one could make about such texts, but somehow judgement often is split by modern party affiliation. It was kind of cool to think for a while that SCOTUS was just doing their job and above political polarization. I no longer hold faith in that belief.
I think it's a reasonable theory (regardless of how they apply it inconsistently). The President doesn't have universal power to do whatever, Congress should authorize specific actions that the President can do, and if those go beyond a reasonable amount of flexibility they would need to authorize that separately.

Say you hire someone to paint your house and then go on vacation and when you come back they replaced your roof as well and gave you a $30,000 bill. You would be legitimately angry that they didn't authorize this extra work with you first even if they argue it was related to painting because the roof interfered with the paint.
The more important question is what can replace the ad-based business model of the internet?

Other than paid subscriptions, which is only a partial solution.
By "gaslighting," did you mean "masquerading"? "Gaslighting" is not appropriate here.
> At the end of the day, most people log in to reddit once or twice a month. Those are the users that are being targetted by advertisers anyways

You have this exactly backwards.

Ads work on repeat exposure, aka impressions. Social media companies have no other reason to optimize for user session length.

Also, someone who uses Reddit once/twice a month would not need to have an account to begin with. Even if they did, their lack of activity would be a negative for ad targeting.
I feel like the problem here is that we do not have an effective way to match products with consumers who may find it useful without bad actors gaming the system. Companies with a modest marketing budget try to be as targeted as possible with advertising but companies with stupidly large budgets will optimize for “engagement and enragement” which will end up with them creating obnoxious advertisements that are spammed across all channels they can regardless of relevance because they can.

It’s a sad problem that we can’t expect to solve if we continue to limit our discussion around the symptoms of the diseased advertisement industry rather than the root causes of this cancer that ruins it for everyone like your company and most other small and medium sized players.

> an endemic virus

But COVID-19 wasn’t endemic at the time that proof-of-vaccination requirements were commonplace. An endemic infectious disease has stable low-level incidence within a defined population. Nothing about the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic when such restrictions were in place fits that description.

In any case, I was asked many times for proof of vaccination; but I don’t live in the U.S. so possibly the implementation compliance differed.
Examples of Western weapons that have been found wanting, and that were expected to be 'gamechangers':

Germany's Leopard 2 Tanks have been underwhelming in their achievements, and nowhere near as effective as proclaimed to be. And that's apart from the bad look of German Panzers crashing their way though the Ukrainian steppes in a replay of 1941. Just the thing to put a bit a steel in Russians' backbones.

Then there was the American Patriot air-defence system that couldn't even protect itself while expending 16 (or was it 32?) missiles. And the American HIMARS systems whose missiles routinely get intercepted

And we haven't heard much lately about the M777 artillery which were found to be very fragile when forced to 'shoot n scoot'. I've read somewhere that apparently the moving hooks are attached to the end of the barrel (!) instead of the wheeled-base and so causes stress on the still-hot barrels while towing during that shifting. And which routinely get taken out by Lancets.

Then there were the Turkish Bayraktars that were were so famous in the first weeks of the war. They are never heard about anymore, Thery just weren't up to the task.

And of course the anti-tank missiles which couldn't even punch a hole in the thin top armour of a tank when fired directly down on the tank from a bedroom window. And anyway, a lot of those had dead batteries too.

It's been said that Western weapons are designed to be profitable, and Russian weapons are designed to be effective. I'm rapidly being converted to that point of view. Tom Cruise and 'Top Gun' not withstanding.
I have engaged you at every single point, and will continue to if you choose to continue making arguments. I have been listening to your points, but frankly so far they haven't been very good ones. I think what you're doing here is just throwing your hands up in frustration that not everyone just immediately agrees with what you believe to be the obvious conclusions here, rather than making convincing arguments for what you believe.

By my first paragraph, I assume you mean the parenthetical at the beginning? If so, that isn't what "gaslighting" means, and while I can see how you read it as talking down to you, it can't be talking down to anyone else, because it is solely responding to a particular style in a few comments you specifically have written.
Then you and I have different views on what's considered tolerable in the wealthiest nation in the history of the Earth. I have no sympathy towards multi-billion dollar companies crying and implementing these ethically dubious systems over a human being stealing food for survival.

How do you think features make it into the spec?

Specification and implementation are chickend-and-egg.
If advertising was required, nobody would be using most open source applications. Nobody had to sell me linux.

A company website that tells me what the elevator pitch is, is advertising arguably, but is not in the same category as putting a message in something I want to consume. The difference is push vs pull. If I have to seek out your message, if I ask you a question, then it's perfectly acceptable to answer.

The second you answer a question I've never asked, you are morally repugnant and harming society as a whole. It's an inevitable slippery slope to literal mental manipulation at that point. There is no "push" advertising that can NOT go that route, as it is inherently a hostile relationship, with independent competitors.

DBs in general have a lot of unavoidable complexity swept under the rug. Like, I don't think most people realize Postgres and MySQL don't do full ACID transactions by default. But it's even worse how special DBs made for huge shardable data like Mongo market themselves as beginner-friendly.

Also the SQL timestamp vs timestamptz thing is just silly and avoidable. I want to know who I complain to for that.

I had a similar experience. What I think was a combination of cannabis and stress gave me intense DPDR that I'm still not over while I've had no real downsides to some pretty hefty LSD usage over the years. I think set and setting plays just as important a role in cannabis usage as it does in psychedelics. I doubt I will ever be normal again at this point, its been over five years including a lot of time where I lived at a Buddhist monastery trying to understand it.
Is there some reason we cannot put the reason for the removal (misinformation) in the headline of this HN story, and save everyone the guessing/speculation?
It is frightening, or more like just anxiety inducing ya know. I've only had it a couple times, the worst of which was withdrawing from cigarettes. It's like you suddenly realize your experience of reality has changed. Like just now you can see the frame around your existence, like your watching through a window and not just being in it. Except that that analogy only addresses visual acuity which the full experience is that but with all senses and especially the sense of self. Derealization is really just the best word to a profoundly strange and indescribable experience.

I've also taken drugs that enforce that sensation and it's much more interesting and tolerable when you've done it intentionally, know what's happening, and that it will end. Those mind states have allowed me to explore emotions and sensations from a rather removed point of view and have some realizations (pun? Not intendes) that i wouldn't have otherwise.

If you wear glasses, chances are you've learned to ignore the constant frames around your vision. I'd like you to intentionally notice them. Do you see how the vision you experience could be likened to a movie screen? You can look around but you are trapped inside this frame. Imagine if you weren't wearing glasses but you came to notice the frame at the edge of your vision. And upon noticing, found yourself incapable of slipping back into your regular sight. Like you've been pushed back and out of yourself, and you have no way to get back in. You're still in control but it's just that, _control_. It's not you, it's just control, and you can't make it you, no matter what you do. That's at least what it's felt like for me.
That may be the case, but we don't have to like it.

He may or may not be correct with his assertions - but it doesn't matter. There's no safe world where mega-corps get to be the arbiter of "truth".

Allowing his content to be accessible to everyone, debated, and perhaps even ridiculed is how we expose truths and fallacies. Hiding them away or suppressing them doesn't somehow make things disappear.

How many things were suppressed regarding the COVID-19 origin story; labeled as false and then turned out to be true? How many things regarding the ongoing Hunter Biden story were suppressed, and then turned out to be true?

I'm not passing judgement on RFK Jr's statements or their truthiness - I am passing judgement on mega-corps getting to decide what the "truth" is.

This modern era we live in, where we don't want to hear or see anything we disagree with, is very dangerous.
