In other news of things that are completely obvious...

I don’t think your comment has any kind of negative intent, but I feel like the idea that grouping any consequence of civilian experience with those of military combat certainly cannot be a reasonable association.

I don’t think Carlin’s point was so much to comment on the accuracy of the description, but rather to say that these descriptions have become longer and longer as time has advanced and thereby lessons the guttural impact they “used” to command.

Do you think that’s fair?

When you cite your skepticism, are you saying those doctors aren’t exploratory in their opinions of diet?

How did you work with these doctors in a way that’s relevant to the topic?

Apologies for my ignorance and assumptions but wouldn’t you need to gain weight after surgeries for cancer?

I’m not sure if context was lost in my comment but I tend to agree with what you’re saying here and was the point of my comment.

Seems to be a pretty vitriolic viewpoint could you please provide some examples of why you think that?

Thanks for the recommendation will check it out

It’s an interesting idea that we still “need” typing practice. We do it every day why would we need to practice extra?

To provide an additional use case, my wife just got me an awesome and completely configurable ergonomic keyboard for my birthday and I’m considering switching to Dvorak or Coleman layouts after typing QWERY my entire life. I NEED a long form practice like this instead of just typing nonsense short blurbs of words as most typing practice provides.

Super excited about this!

Super cool framework that is only getting better. If you’re interested in framework spelunking-check out Remix by Ryan Florence and Michael Jackson (no, not that one...). It’s actually going to be paid but I’m very excited to try it. It handles some data loading pain points among others that seem very interesting.

Well, this is absolutely perfect timing as my wife has just given me an Ergodex EZ for my birthday and I’ve been practicing on a one shot timed set of snippets from Alice in Wonderland.

Fantastic and really looking forward to reading while I practice. This is so cool!

For those unfamiliar with “Three Ways”, I was just introduced to the concept in the book “The Phoenix Project” which was in reference to the book “The Goal”.

Excited to read this article and after briefly skimming, didn’t see any immediate reference so figured I’d leave webcrumbs here.

Sorry, what is taint in this context?

I’m genuinely curious what the perceived threat is here. Is it as simple as “China is going to read everyone’s stuff and use machine learning to figure out what the cool kids are doing and then brainwash them?”

> Ultimately, the hearing won't reveal any surprising facts about these companies and will likely feature some theatrics, as is often the case with antitrust hearings.

The article says it best at the very end.

Wherever you lie on the spectrum of blaming these tech companies for doing obvious things to continue to drive the bottom line to their investors, the problem here is that this is just a show. And everyone involved knows it.

There are no mechanisms in place for making competent adjustments at this scale, ESPECIALLY in the United States government. If you’ve ever tried to watch any of these, it’s clear the legislatures either aren’t competent enough in the field to challenge these prepared talking points.

There’s more of a chance of legitimate, competent discussion in a forum like Joe Rogans podcast where he gets people like [1] Jack Dorsey and Tim Pool in a room (albeit with the babysitter counsel) to have a back and forth.

I think the key to moving forward as a decision making body of any kind is to merge the two. Clearly, nothing can come of the Joe Rogan show of note, but imagine: what if it could? What if there could be more transparency and accountability for these huge companies and we could objectively examine what they actually do rather than just hear their talking points and move on?

I guess I’ll end my rant here. It’s just very discouraging that, despite the fact that this hearing is occurring, there’s a next to nothing chance that anything useful for the advancement of our country’s liberties will come.

Forgive me if I’m out of the loop but are we really considering gab and mastadon to be the “big players now”?

If this is true, shouldn’t the title be changed to, “German police log in to WhatsApp web using targets phone”, removing the clickbait and therefore anything of note about this story?

This is just another example of why I’d like to see some kind of platform that requires “skin in the game” to make these kinds of actions.

For GitHub, I’m not quite sure how that would work, but perhaps for a Medium type platform, you’d have to verify that you’ve read someone’s writings before you can follow them.

I love this quote at the end:

“ Succeeding, like flying, is throwing yourself to the ground and missing.”

Cool article and definitely as someone else mentioned, very similar to a locker room pep talk.

Please tell me this was somehow inspired by “The Good Place”...

As an average user, can you explain where I’m “supposed” to be upset according to your interpretation of their alleged deception?

Your writing comes off quite accusatory but is also full of technical jargon that I can’t parse so I’ll naturally side with the majority. That’s not saying you’re wrong, but I’m sitting in a camp where I have 60 bucks and don’t feel slighted by their practice in the least.

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing.

I assume via BTC or any crypto, it’s just a matter of running a “miniminer” of some sort across all effected machines?

After reading part of [1], I have no idea how you draw the conclusions you do.

I was playing around with a bunch of different crypto currencies when Keybase did the airdrop with Stellar. At every point in the process, it was opt in. Then I received ~$60 and that was it.

It seems your article was going for sensationalism and was highly disputed by all commenters on HN, not covered up by some capital driven conspiracy.

What was the end goal of the virus?

Don’t forget the additional bonuses that will come in Q3 due to all employees receiving “exceeds” on their 6 month review

Coming from the guy that allegedly puts everyone to sleep during thanksgiving... no chance I’m listening to you

Definitely skeptical here as well, but the article seems to echo these sentiments fairly accurately. I’ll have to head the study though to say for sure.

So, (if I could write LaTek in here I would)

The limit as JavaVersion —> Inf = Kotlin?

I won’t complain.

Just like https is dominated!!

I agree with the sentiment of this answer.

While I think it could have been said better, we all need to quit feeling the need to have everything so perfectly connected all the time and feeling frustration when our tech gets in the way.

If you read until about right here, the parent comment is very valid.

> “I couldn't have told you the first thing about Java before this trial,” said the judge

Reading any past there sheds light on the judge.

I usually don’t like the sappy stuff online but I am very sorry for your loss. I absolutely cannot imagine the pain and hurt you must be experiencing. I hope you can find some kind of peace in the special bound you two share.
