The internet pretty squarely falls under the Commerce Clause

it's quite short, but it's a fundamental right

Light fills the universe, but a telescope will be blinded if you shine a flashlight into it.

No one knows if this version of events is true

You've just made up a "liberal" Democrat boogeyman for your weird argument.

Not entirely -- license revocation can happen for a number of reasons involving content. It just doesn't happen anymore.

There is no obligation for a private company to provide a platform for another's speech. None. It is, in fact, antithetical to the concept of a "Marketplace of Ideas." In a marketplace, shitty/dangerous/offensive products are not offered for sale on the shelves of department stores.

This happens so often on HN. People understand the superficial concept they gleaned from a class years ago, but since most people went into STEM, they weren't exposed to a liberal arts education that gives the full picture.

So, we're left with people pretending to understand a concept, while simultaneously destroying the principle with their opinion.

"least interacting" is the key here. Trillions are emitted by the source, and nearly zero impact anything along the way, so most of them make it through the planets, stars, etc. Occasionally one hits an atom of ice/water (depending on which detector we're talking about), allowing us to detect it. The impacts on the detector are pretty rare, relatively speaking.

This is what happens when engineers receive very little formal liberal arts education.

Cringe.

The irony of this comment is that part of his point is that you are at risk for missing his point in the absence of liberal arts education :)

His point is that the liberal arts method of teaching critical thinking is designed to force the student to comprehend and empathically understand the lived experience of other individuals and their concomitant perspective in a given situation. If one is incapable of abstracting their perception from the context, they are forever doomed to only understand the world around them as-is.

The unenlightened fish sees only the world as he or she experiences it, but those equipped with the right cognitive skills are able to recognize the milieu or ether that constitutes the social world. The ability to recognize the "water" empowers the observer to be aware of the current and the current's effect on other fish.

This is his point about controlling one's internal voice in the grocery store line. The unenlightened fish will simply rage against the water, angry that it is muddied by those ahead swimming incorrectly. The enlightened fish understands that each fish is engaged in its own struggle against the current. That struggle is muddying the waters, and recognizing that fact allows the enlightened fish to understand why those ahead are stirring up the sediment. They are simply trying, as the enlightened fish is, to fight the current. Understanding this allows the enlightened fish to hold them blameless. Holding them blameless (or at least understanding them as fish) grants the power to control how one feels about the muddied waters and the responsible fish.

Hope that helps!

Two things: (1) it's hard to get a warrant. This is a search warrant for the President's personal lawyer's office and covers privileged communications (obviously under the crime-fraud exception). The federal judge that signed this must have been shown some very serious evidence of a crime.

(2) Since SDNY executed this warrant, it (a) had to be approved by the Assistant Attorney General of the criminal division (department policy for searching lawyers' offices), and indicates that a second criminal investigation of the Trump admin is active.

So, big big deal.

depends on the destination / trajectory of the object. This object has almost zero chance of ever hitting anything, so it doesn't have to go through the super crazy sanitizing that the Curiosity rover did.

Yes. The notice and comment period is intended to prevent arbitrary or capricious decisions by agencies.

Good thing it would be almost impossible to attach personal liability to an employee of a corporation unless they intentionally designed the system to be unsafe with malicious intent.

They are aggressive with ads because everyone is using ad blocker and no one clicks on ads. Content and infrastructure are not free. What do people expect to happen??

I'm guessing it will optimize for dedicated bike paths since you shouldn't be riding your bike on the sidewalk.

But the real question is: Did they allow themselves to pass through the same pub more than once?

If I'm not mistaken, this is a computationally expensive operation, right? Traveling Salesman.

Typically the problem is that smaller publications don't have the luxury of hiring a copyeditor dedicated to catching these things. The economics of publishing require a certain volume, and generally it is hard to balance both the volume and the meticulous copyediting required to pass muster under an absurd rubric like this. Typos like ever --> every are nearly impossible to catch without a fine-tooth comb.

"By Christmas Eve, though, Kelly called down to the ground support team to report new problems with the plants. It seemed the high fan speed was drying out the crop too much, and Kelly said he thought they needed more water. He was told, though, that the next scheduled watering was not until Dec. 27.

"I think that would be too late," Kelly told the ground team. "You know, I think if we're going to Mars, and we were growing stuff, we would be responsible for deciding when the stuff needed water. Kind of like in my backyard, I look at it and say 'Oh, maybe I should water the grass today.' I think this is how this should be handled."

I mean, that makes sense, but then again don't we want to be able to fully automate this?

This is DEFINITELY not a great idea without pre-clearance from a doctor, and even then it's not great for you. I would imagine this places undue stress on many body systems. Your muscles (and brain!) really really want glucose when you're working this hard. AND he was at altitude.

Ketosis workouts DO work very well though. I just don't recommend an Ultra while fasting...

Referred to variously Rowland le Sarcere, Roland le Fartere, Roland le Petour, and Roland the Farter, Roland really had one job in the court: Every Christmas, during the court’s riotous pageant, he performed a dance that ended with “one jump, one whistle, and one fart”, executed simultaneously.

For this, Roland was gifted a manor house in Hemingstone, Suffolk, and more than 100 acres of land. For farting on cue.

Yes, because it is rude. The marginal increase in comfort does not outweigh the massive impact it has on the quality of life of the individual behind.

YES! We need SOMETHING. It drives me crazy that everyone uses AdBlock and then has no recognition that this will break the Internet :(

Uber would just add a tab to their app.

sites would function that way if people actually did what you said you'd do if they waited.

Who's making assumptions now? The ONLY hard facts we have are what they announced: A mutual separation. Why are you so sure it was a firing?

I think it's a relatively reasonable logical conclusion that Ms. Pao, freed from responsibilities at Reddit, is pursuing things that interest her. Are you saying that she's most likely pursuing things that DON'T interest her? The 900-word essay seems to set out a thesis or mission statement for what she might do now...

Imagine your world being constructed as such though

These photos are absolutely terrifying. Remind me never to be a computer.
