It's safe to assume that 'so many people' includes a whole lot of covert actors trying to peddle the government's point of view on Assange and Wikileaks.

Regardless, the exposures are exactly what journalists and publishers should be doing - government agencies went out of control under the umbrella of the Patriot Act, and the results, from fabricated claims of WMDs in Iraq to who knows what, have been disastrous.

Also, Wikileaks did pretty responsible journalism for example on the explosive Vault 7 leaks:

https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/

> "Wikileaks has also decided to redact and anonymise some identifying information in "Year Zero" for in depth analysis. These redactions include ten of thousands of CIA targets and attack machines throughout Latin America, Europe and the United States. While we are aware of the imperfect results of any approach chosen, we remain committed to our publishing model and note that the quantity of published pages in "Vault 7" part one (“Year Zero”) already eclipses the total number of pages published over the first three years of the Edward Snowden NSA leaks."
I loved Tales from Tang Dynasty China: Selections from the Taiping Guangji. ( https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Tang-Dynasty-China-Selections/d... )

As the title suggests, it is a collection of stories mostly written in 10th-century China, translated into English. It includes copious introductory material, on every story individually, to help you understand what's going on.

Even then, there's plenty of material in the stories themselves where it's easy to tell that the author expected you to be familiar with something, but you have no idea what it might be.
>Get a few flash drives. Do some backups.

I'd advise using mechanical HDDs instead. The portable USB-connected ones are quite inexpensive these days. The problem with flash is that it loses charge over time and your data can disappear. This shouldn't happen if you plug it in and power it up regularly, but for something you want to just store and forget about and maybe look at again in 5 or 10 years, it's not a safe storage method.
I agree that the school system is in need of help. And, there's the saying that it was intended to train workers for the machine, which is at least a minor upgrade from "industrial childcare".

But, then is it really that bad? I mean, as a nation, we've managed to make it quite a way and lead the world in many categories.

And, here we are on HN, cogently observing the issues from the "outside". Yet, I'd wager most of us are products of the public school system. How did so many manage to reach escape velocity?
I've added fixing that to my todo list, thank you for pointing it out, I hadn't thought to test that.
Yes the world is clearly a worse place because of Snowden, without him just imagine the true power the national security state could have achieved and how much safer we’d all feel.
The fact that there are co-ops still doesn't refute the fact that a series of prerequisites need to be fulfilled, just so that the co-op doesn't collapse in on itself. Co-ops exist, only after the requirements are fulfilled.

Furthermore (and more important for me personally), axiom 3 (That everyone involved wants to partake in the risks of ownership) still isn't addressed in the given response: What if I found a job in a co-op, but I don't want the profit sharing & just want a fixed salary?

So far, the best procedure that I've seen addressing this issue allows for the existence of non-member workers, from which workers can invest a fixed sum to become member workers:

It's still comparatively very simple compared to stuff like CoD. Qemu has made an advancement on being able to hide that you are in a vm. Byfron is likely only targeted at Parallels, hyperv and vmware. If you try it with qemu and follow the steps to make the vm undetectable as a vm it will probably work fine.

Do you think this helps Biden? Assange is a right winger, helping him out isn't likely to convince moderates to go for Biden.

Yes, it is dangerous and it’s why most rear-end collisions happen. Fortunately if you’re not going very fast it usually doesn’t result in any serious injury.

Yes, most drivers do drive dangerously. Most will get away with it unscathed through luck, but not all. Increase your odds by driving safely even if everyone else isn’t.
Again, the overt acts reference a specific clause of title 18, and it would allow punishment of Assange for literally anything Manning did. It doesn't seem to be about anything further Assange did.

>By way of example: the murder-for-hire accusations against Ross Ulbricht were listed "overt acts" in his conspiracy charge.

Yes, the supposed murder for hire was something he wasn't charged with and wasn't mentioned in his sentencing. It was not a part of his trial.

Cue eyeroll. This triggered a rant in me. We really shouldn't be giving so much money to these people. But the problem is that we individually don't have much control over the matter because the majority of their clients are large pension funds, endowments, sovreign wealth funds, and government managers of social security, which themselves are managed by... managers who have an incentive to hand off the risk of being fired for poor performance to someone else. Very few clients are actually high net worth individuals who trust the skill of the hedge fund manager.

And indeed, most of them have no skill whatsoever. Hedge funds are, for a large part, part of a parasite economy, where large sums of money are diverted from astronomical sums of money without many people noticing.
> The Russians in contrast seem to have been using larger drones (like those supplied by Iran).

You are confusing short-range and long-range campaigns. Both sides are using fpvs, mavics-style, short-range fixed wing and long-range winged (like shahed-136) drones

Thanks for giving the OP some firsthand advice that answers his question and might actually work, rather than chiding him with some variant of "You shouldn't have trusted YouTube in first place ('you big dummy', implied)".

I think it's as fine as any other major cloud service as long as you have a backup.

And for irreplaceable family data, you should always have a backup. That's the main point here.
There's another tidbit I noticed that I missed before: at the time of enrollment, 6% were housed for the first and second group, 12% for the control. Presumably those already housed would be more likely to be housed after a year than someone homeless, so the effect size may have been larger. Who knows if it's distinguishable from noise--the "quantitative" report indicates some minority of effects are statistically significant.

I feel like it's possible to design a much better experiment than this. But my overarching concern is that I don't trust activist studies on homelessness issues, been burned too many times taking them at face value.
It should be illegal for them to prohibit an app on their store and alternative distribution. Triply so if it at all competes with them.
Right so they reverted from the exception to the norm.

Tech is either leaders or followers. Everyone is doing touchscreen cars or laptops without ports or phones with a bunch of things I didn't want.

They dont care about your adult searches.

Unless you suddenly stop and your behavioural pattern changes (to something alarming, like contacting known terrorists or spies, etc). I dont know how to feel about this sort of surveillance. On the one hand, the gov't shouldn't be able to know how you normally behave. That, to me is private information. It might be used against you.

But on the other hand, this level of surveillance can be used to catch unsaviory types. But i think i will still stick to the mantra of 'giving up freedom for security means you get neither'.
A google image search for "木漏れ日" gets me about 50% beams and 50% patterns on the forest floor, so I don't think the difference is as clear cut as all that. But even on that basis, we then have two words--sunbeams for the beams and dappled light for the pattern--where the Japanese have only one. By the logic of the usual breathless linguistic fetishism that we see everywhere online, that means English has twice the reverence for the natural world that Japanese has.
I don’t know if Biden had anything to do with this, but he has some good old school democrat instincts. The problem is that he’s surrounded by globalists and progressives who can’t loudly promote the good things he did, like tariffs, getting out of Afghanistan, initially maintaining tight border restrictions, etc.

I mean, even if Biden has something to do with this plea deal, his staffers won’t promote it because they think Assange is a kremlin puppet who conspired to help Trump get elected.
Don’t forget Hillary was fixated on Assange for a long time, and was even quoted with “Can’t we just drone the guy?”.

The direct spat lead to Assange helping Trump and the Russians publish Hillary’s email server spool.

I don’t like that Assange ended up helping Trump and Russia, but you can’t blame him for helping the one person who can kick the person out of office who wants to Tomahawk you

People tend to overestimate the profitability of defense contractors. Operating in a heavily boom-bust market, with high capital expenditures and high operating costs (the entire supply chain and final manufacturing is done almost exclusively in high cost-of-living western countries), and dealing with massive quantities of politics and regulation eats away at those margins.

And Rheinmetall is in Europe, not America, where all of these things are 100x more true.

She didn't think there would be anyone in the middle! She expected the app to access the URL, and it did, but she didn't expect it to also send a copy to its creators.

As an Australian, I would be blown away if our government ever tried to stand against the USA in that way. We rely too much on our alliance for defence; there's no way Australia can stand on its own militarily. So there's a lot we would tolerate to keep that relationship stable.

Don’t worry about this. They’ll learn in grade school to be afraid that at any moment, a stranger might come on campus and shoot them all up. And in high school they’ll learn about suicide and rape from their classmates.

They’ll have plenty of horrors to keep track of.
Yeah. Avoiding the persistent enmity of the traditional liberal left — you know the anti war, pro freedom of speech crowd that used to represent the fundamentals of being liberal in the US — during the election cycle almost certainly helps Biden.

Or do you think traditional liberals ripping Biden non-stop when most liberals are demoralized by everything happening is going to help Biden somehow?

The only people who think this hurts Biden are people that think Clinton was a better liberal candidate than Bernie.
Hillary wanted to drone Assange, so you would expect Wikileaks to take her opponent’s side
This might be just a personal rant, but I hate, despise, abhor squircles.

For some (irrational, I admit) reason, to me they are a visual reminder of all that went wrong in computing since the times the rounded rectangle was king. The vision of squircles in any UI instantly produces in me a sensation of a patronizing voice saying "don't you just LOVE walled gardens and app stores and closed hardware and ads and...".

Of course the squircles themselves are innocent, but what can I do.
I'm a Scoutmaster (USA). It is disheartening to see kids and their parents give up Scouting to in order to attend practices or games. Some do it because they think they'll have a better chance at scholarships (they won't), the rest I'm not sure. I played sports and did Scouting when I was a kid, and I got a lot more out of Scouting.

I have a nephew who played baseball his whole life, whose parents sunk tens of thousands of dollars in training, tournaments, etc. He got one partial scholarship that would never amount to the money they spent, and he gave that scholarship up after a year to transfer to another university where he would have more playing time, and it's unlikely he is going to be picked up.

Somehow my sports never interfered with my troop meetings or campouts, but I can't say the same for the Scouts in my troop.

I think this doesn't get enough attention. The biggest shareholders in many companies are index funds like Vanguard and BlackRock, which often have the right to vote on behalf of the shares in their ETFs. Their interests are in ensuring the entire ETF goes up, and a real estate deleveraging would do the opposite.

So you are talking about taking this concept of 'analogies' to the extreme of an actual physical 'analogy' that can be studied. Here acoustics, to mimic the event horizon (i'm simplifying).

This is pretty extreme case. I was just saying generally, that metaphors and analogies can help explain concepts. This is finding actual real correspondence between different 'model's.

Were you saying earlier that there was a way to model this correspondence between models generally, for other cases? Maybe there is a category theory or something, to relate different models, so they can be analogies of each other, but both real so can have experiments?

That's a very good point. There are lots of potential confounders here. But I also want to point out that this study isn't a shot in the dark for random correlations -- there are theoretical reasons to believe that poor sleep hygiene would increase the risk of diabetes. Cortisol is tightly coupled to the sleep-wake cycle and to blood sugar levels. It is known to be causative of diabetes in certain rare disease (Cushing disease, for example) and strongly associated in garden variety type 2 diabetes. The article passingly references this (but it uses the more general term glucocorticoid).
Fantastic work here! I'm working on a local tool, affectionately called Descartes, which does something similar—but with a spotlight-like UX for the non-hackers out there.

I do think that LLMs have the potential to fundamentally change the way we interact with our computers. There's a lot of edge cases (especially when combining it with the inaccurate science of screen readers) but it's pretty mind-blowing when it works.

Do you know how much logging they actually do there? I haven't kept up with that project at all and can't find any recent data.

I know when they were first proposing the project the state was going to limit them to a couple hundred acre clear cuts and Campbell had their own limit at less than that. Unless that number increased dramatically, I'd say the project is a success mainly because they just aren't logging a meaningful amount of timber at all.

Someone actually just clear cut a few hundred acres down the street from me before the locals ran the investor out of town. It's terrible to see it cleared and it's basically just a massive, open, festering wound now but st the end of the data a few hundred acres of timber is a drop in the bucket relative to what we actually consume.
To make your point even more explicit:

The kind of imprisonment that Assange was subjected to is unambiguously torture, and was unambiguously administered for the purpose of revenge.

There is no natural "need" for the conditions he was subjected to (e.g. the cost of a larger cell is negligible), and no natural purpose other than to punish.

I am deliberately ignoring the question of guilt here, because I don't believe that we should torture _anyone_, regardless of the crime. The fact that we do this is a giant ugly stain on civilisation.

Eventually, certainly, but you can put it off for a while without much trouble.
