What I cited are excess deaths rather than Covid deaths. No one labelled them. The baseline death rate went up after Covid arrived.

You can argue they weren’t Covid. But you need another explanation. And it needs to be global; this happened in every country.

The rise in deaths began with Covid, and continues now. The baseline death rate has shifted higher.
> Brand could argue he was discriminated as a man, in the sense that he was assumed as guilty of rape because he’s a man.

Anyone can argue anything, but Brand might have an uphill slog convincing a trier of fact that YouTube dumped him for being a man.
He discovered who his audience is and, rather than recoil and amend his ways, leaned into it.
Java only just got green threads (goroutines), 11 years after Go 1.0 was introduced. CSP had been around for yonks.

Nothing is perfect to begin with, and I think you could probably be a bit kinder to Golang here.
I read those two percentages as not being added to each other. In other words, the 26% is a shittier subset of the 44%. At least that's what I think they mean.
I find it incredibly illuminating that upon asking me how we should go about doing the thing you challenged me to do, you engaged with none of it and instead descended even further into niche technology to try and make it seem like, because it's technically possible, we shouldn't even attempt to regulate it.

No, we can't stop people sharing it over encrypted channels. What we can do is mandate that these AI include identification data in their generated images, which is tied to a singular person. And from there, we can identify and prosecute the creator, and through court orders to whatever platform holder is at play, get a list of everyone who downloaded it and shared it.

We do this shit constantly for major rights holders. We know how. We just choose not to because too many people think it's "just boys being boys" and enable a culture that thinks sex offenses aren't worth our time.
> Public transport can be late, you have to deal with inconsiderate people, there are additional weather issues you have to deal with, e.t.c.

People use public transport when it is convenient. If you are a rich country that has so many of these rich people then you can make your public transport good.

If cars and roads actually had to compete in terms of cost benefits, driving would be far more expensive.

> Same goes for living in apartments/condos versus having your own piece of land. Apartments of course are the way to go for densely populated areas, but with everything else equal, people generally would prefer to live away from others for very good reasons.

Having single family homes isn't an issue. Having only single family homes and no commercial is the issue. Row houses can be very popular and cost efficient for people who don't want to be in an apartment.

If you look at subburbs in the Netherlands for example, you will see a wild mix of different types of buildings, all still conected to public tranist and of course great bike infrastructure.

As long as people pay tax for using more land (land value tax ftw) and the car is put into an appropriate place in the transport hierarchy.

> First, there should be massive investments into autonomous driving

Absolutely terrible choice. Even the best case outcome isn't great.

If there is a place where self driving makes sense its in last mile transporting people in the subburbs.

> The second is way looser regulation on electric bicycles/mopeds and investment into that sector in general.

This isn't unreasonable.

> The key to solving transportation is 2 fold.

No the key is actually to have great bike and public infrastructure, and if you do most people will use it. If you also properly restrict cars specifically in cities and make drivers actually pay for all the issues with cars. Then biking and pubic transport will be incredibly popular.

And the cars that are left over are far less of a problem.
What Youtubers call "demonetization" usually refers to their monetization status changing to "limited to no ads." Even if their video is in the category of "limited" ads, the video tends to make a small fraction of what a regular video would make because there are fewer bidders for these ad slots, so from their perspective, it's basically the same as not being paid at all. In Russell Brand's case, it looks like his channel got completely demonetized, so his channel shouldn't have any ads.

Talking with a few students in science programs this seems to be the case, even when few higher ups want to admit it.

Proving something is false is less valued than proving it right. It's silly because if we valued the quality of science it should be the exact opposite.
Been playing with this as a beta user for a few months. I really like how the cli removes a ton of the footguns I've come to find with git. With Graphite I don't have to think too closely about navigating and reordering branches. It's removed a lot of my fears of "will this command clobber my workspace". The guard rails are up, but you can always drop into git if you need something specific.
I would trust a proven security research group's analysis and evidence of backdoors rather than CNN or WSJ that has a track record of lies and biases. They always cite government sources or experts without provided a single shred of evidence. I have read a lot of articles in relations to the so called "Chinese backdoor" and the "evidence" was either the equipment contains default root or admin passwords or the software has vulnerabilities. Last time I checked, most if not all vendors have default admin accounts and passwords so you can configure the device and change the initial password. Similarly I have not come across any network equipment software without security vulnerabilities. If you can refer me to an article with conclusive evidence please send me the link. This would be much appreciated.

You haven't proven that it's true in any case, not even "selected cases". You conflated CTR with user experience quality (rookie mistake) and then tried to say that the existence of ads throughout history somehow proves your point (lol?)

The fact that you knew your point was ridiculous, and had to say "let the downvotes begin!" is just icing on the cake.
> Bad typo on homepage (should be sponsor not sponser - also why is this so prominent on your landing page, seems weird).

Will get this fixed. Also improve the positioning of it.

The idea behind getting sponsors was to keep the customer charges as low as possible.

We're attracing a very premium customer base and I am confident merchants would like to place themselves before our audience.

> Who is transcorp and how are you related to them? Western people are very unlikely to have heard of them (I had to Google), and are you part of them, powered by them, etc? It's confusing having two brands like that at the top of your page.

Transcorp is our banking/licensing partner. We're currently using their services in India to manage customer funds and power our UPI connection.

I understand your feedback though. We'll work on presenting this better.

Yes, there were meetings between twitter and the feds monitoring Prigozhin's bot farms. Taibbi implied -- over and over again, as you are now -- that these meetings saw the feds lean on Twitter to suppress the Hunter Biden Laptop story. They didn't.

Not only did the feds not lean on Twitter to suppress Hunter's dick picks, but the coordination that I saw is actually coordination I want to see. Yeah, the spooks should talk with the social networks, so long as the social networks can check and balance the requests. If you disagree I would like you to explain to me what is so important about allowing Dimitri Prigozhin's bot farms to go unchallenged? Do you want another TEN_GOP incident, where a prominent republican account turns out to literally be run out of Dimitri Prigozhin's IRA just outside Moscow? I'd think you would want to avoid another embarrassment like that.
Your observation underscores a fundamental challenge in public discourse: determining which contributions substantively further a conversation. While the repeated mentions of "innocent until proven guilty" or instances that may appear as victim-blaming can feel redundant or unproductive to some, for others, these comments might encapsulate deeply held beliefs or concerns. Recognizing this, it's crucial to appreciate the multiplicity of perspectives.

However, true progress in any debate relies on a collective willingness to delve deeper, to move beyond surface-level assertions and to engage with the nuanced complexities of the issue at hand. Dismissing certain viewpoints as merely "adding nothing" can inhibit this deeper exploration. We should endeavor to foster an environment where contributors feel empowered to expand upon their initial sentiments, illuminating the reasons behind them. Only then can we bridge understanding and foster a richer, more productive dialogue.
> I think there is a line between somewhat risque humor and calling a grandfather to tell him you "fucked" his grand-daughter. I've seen plenty of edgy comedy but nothing like that.

> Can you imagine calling your girlfriends father and bragging about your sex with his daughter?

Regardless of how distasteful you find it (it is), an entertainer pushing a poor taste line for comedic purposes is not really a fair comparison here. I'm unsure if this is intentional or not, but I'm trying to be charitable.

> We are discussing there being real life consequences (not jail) for being a dick.

Sort of. The "being a dick" part is highly interwoven with the 'serious sexual crimes' accusations by the original reporting, and this makes the whole thing tricky and murky.

> Russell brand has no "right" to broadcast on Youtube, nor does he have any "right" to perform a gig in a pub, so pubs, websites, etc, can refuse him for any reason they like, that's life.

Agreed, however organisations knee-jerk banning people for (what are so far) unproven accusations is generally seen as "being a dick" too - the difference being we can definitively see this. On a site like HN, this is amplified due to the higher interests in social media powers, fair platforms, etc.
I love plain text websites, but, a simple maximum width would be nice.
Depends on what it is you're doing. If it's a small personal project, sure. If it's something you're trying to market as serious software, your first name won't look very professional.

The good thing about software is it's easy enough to rename. So you can name it alexlab today, and then a year from now, rebrand it to Lab Co or something else.
You gotta love conspiracy theorists.

I limited my investigation to the Hunter Biden Laptop story in the first Twitter Files release; the dishonesty I saw from Musk and Taibbi on that subject was enough to pass judgement.

The Republican MO is to pivot to a different claim in the firehose-of-falsehood the moment you get called out. I'm not impressed.

These potential anachronisms are easy to insert when retelling a story. It doesn't really mean he "made it up", but reverse engineering how the diagnostic was determined might lead one to use tools/definitions that didn't exist at the time.

It's also entirely plausible that a local definitions file was used to provide the unit that didn't come in the default install. Hence the anachronism is merely "potential" instead of "definite"
> When you say your childhood was filled with warnings about the tragedy of HIV/AIDS, I think you must be talking about the early 90s

I see the GP’s edit that he is indeed from the USA, but I still think it should be emphasized that what you write wasn’t necessary true for HN readers from some other countries. I just watched Agnès Varda’s film Kung-Fu Master, which was made in 1986 and incorporates some documentary aspects: it shows UK television already replete with coverage of HIV-AIDS and how to have safe sex, and AIDS-prevention activists addressing passersby on the streets of Paris. Fear of AIDS was a mere sideshow in the film’s plot, but this all gave the film considerable value as an insight into that era.
With the benefit of hindsight, it is easy to agree with what you say. But from the point of view of the scientists creating the first classical computers, classical fault-tolerance seemed just as difficult to them as quantum fault-tolerant computation seems to us. See von Neumann's "Probabilistic Logics and the Synthesis of Reliable Organisms from Unreliable Components" from 1952 https://static.ias.edu/pitp/archive/2012files/Probabilistic_...

Not that it is impossible for OP to be right, but the argument he is using used to be applied to classical computation and ultimately turned out to be wrong in that context.
There's a bit more nuance to that. Some advertisers can choose to put ads on videos that are labelled undesirable. But because there's less advertiser demand for ads on such videos, they're generally very cheap.

Is there any proof that Dual_EC_DRBG is backdoored?

All I know is that Dual_EC_DRBG can be backdoored. And there are indeed suspicions, it was known from the start that not only Dual_EC_DRBG could be backdoored, but that it was rather weak to begin with. So, how could it be adopted as a standard?

Now it seems that everyone takes the backdoor as a given. Is there any proof? Ideally the keys themselves (that would make it undeniable), but more credibly, leaks that show usage or potential usage of the backdoor.

But what seems surprising to me about that story is that the potential for a backdoor was known even before the adoption of Dual_EC_DRBG as a standard. Any credible enemy of the state would know that and use something else, and be very suspicious of imported products using it. The ones following NIST recommendations would be allies, but why would you want allies to use weak ciphers?

I think that LG, Sony and Samsung are doing fine making TVs, perhaps for the lower end, the influx of cheaper sets is pressuring profit margins for this segment.

And gross margin is very relevant. Vizio is spending a lot of money either on general expenses, debt, administrative expenses etc. If you compare LG Display to Vizio, Vizio is spending 2x on Selling General and Administrative expenses. If they matched LG, that's an additional $130M in annual profits.

I only skimmed the article, so may have missed something, but it doesn't seem that they are taking into account how much CO2 emission humans emit just for living.

If I spend an hour writing my emissions will be about the same as if I had instead spent that hour reading, or watching TV, or playing my guitar, or doing most other things I do.

Computers can be turned off when not working so only need to cause CO2 emission when actually working. Humans cannot be turned off between jobs.
Money, PR, astroturfed protests, moral support. This can be true even for people in prison in legally non-controversial cases of murder. Quite a few serial/mass killers have fan clubs.

U.S. House GOP pulls key vote to advance stopgap government funding bill
You are so wrong. In Switzerland on medium distance trips, rail is actually more popular between cities. Rail has been and continues to be an absolutely fantastic investment.

Rail is preferable to planes on most places you want to go in Europe. And the places where its not, its because the rail infrastructure hasn't been built out. This is because of 60 years of overinvestment in roads and 60 years of under investment in roads.

Even Switzerland extreme successful increase in rail was born out of a necessity and a restricted budget. So much more could have been done.

Once rail infrastructure is built, its operation is efficient and much of the infrastructure lasts for 100+ years.

Its funny how people who like roads are all like 'train so expensive' and yet I see road dependent countries (like the US) with roads that look more like the Ukraine then anything else. If its so cheap why can't you maintain it?

> drive because of costs

Because drivers don't actually pay for the massive investment in roads over the last 60 years. Cars have been given incredibly valuable space for free in most cities. The list of things like that goes on and on.

And driving also leads to an absutly insane amount of death and other health defects that society is paying for.

Is it like 40000 deaths alone from cars in the US? Yeah fantastic that people safe some money over rail in some condition.

If you actually analyses effect on society as a whole, walking, biking and rail are all utterly fantastic investments.

High speed rail is so so far away in the US.

There is so much low hanging fruit in the US its not even funny. If you want to invest money and get people in rail, start with proper S-Bahns and combine that with the historic rail network outside of the cities.

Add trams to your cities and proper bus service with priority lines and priority signaling.

And of course the absolutely brain dead land use and zoning policies in the US are the real issue even if you build public transit.

Worry about those things before dreaming up schemes of high speed trains.

That said the Great Lakes region high speed rail, combined with Canada would make a huge amount of sense.
