fastglasson The gaslit asset class

1. in terms of "proof", eg. "asset performance", it's proven its more capable 2. crypto as a whole is the riskiest investment on the market 3. speculative assets in general or in highly-notable abundance rn are performing abnormally well, better than assets have performed in the past by a few metrics, as though they're trying to compete or hopefully catch up with the anomaly of bitcoin's growth

fastglasson Anonymous Release 10TB Leaked Data Exposing Kremlin Assets, Russian Businesses

am I just being a newb or is OP god-tier with their WPM?

I really despise these things where its a drop n run, and all these yahoos in the comments just talk oblivious towards the fact that person who submitted it remains silent about it..

like... this looks like a sweaty guessing game with everyone in the comments, especially over something that's very likely just troubled/plagued assets to begin with

like, just ask the dude who submitted the shit about more information first or something

fastglasson 4chan Sharty Hack And Janitor Email Leak

I feel too many people who don't conflate /pol/ with the whole website, as well as the others, don't know why /pol/ was created.

It was eventually a replacement for the /new/ board, where news of the arab spring first started, shortly before it was shut down. However, it was plagued with proto-pol behavior before anyone was bothering to complain about pol.

There was always these 'cells' of non /jp/ shitposters, if they weren't the OG shitposters themselves, that would post about left-right politics ad nauseum, and in the most hallmark unproductive ways. It was when trolling evolved from 'clever this and that' to shear brute forcing. It was the topic of the news that attracted these unsavor political actors into that place, which was for a short period of time, a great diverse place for collecting news.

This social phenomena and history could never be repeated enough, particularly since we might be finally ending the story of pol/4chan - which was more popular than 4chan itself.

essentially when there's an analog, or non-computational change in resistance, like a drift in value, then you can have non-linear function over that circuit

fastglasson Paper and bamboo straws contain PFAS chemicals more often than plastic straws do

this is not a practical answer but it's an actual answer..

Straws are useful for drinking lemon water, and maybe other drinks which have the wrong kind of acidity that can damage tooth enamel.

The straw can help to prevent the liquid from making contact with the teeth as you're drinking.

So, there's 2 different untested theories there, I am careless spreading around without having tested either of them myself, because I have unusually strong teeth, which is an uncommon but not rare thing.

fastglasson Deaf Man Who Couldn't Hear Police Commands Was Tased and Spent 4 Months in Jail

Maybe, maybe not. It's interesting to consider, because they wouldn't need an interpreter if everything was done through writing, which maybe they or others wouldn't want to do either.

This may be a little off topic, but, like, instead of just being able to film your encounter with police, you're able to just take pictures of the notes they hand you as a way of documenting your encounter. Not to say that's sufficient, but it's interesting to think about.

fastglasson False Pro-China Accounts Invade Twitter in the UK

We can go deeper..

the PRC could use low-effort attacks just as fodder which mimics any actual false flag performed by any country. And, this isn't conspiracy, either, yet maybe too speculative for your average HN user (who doesn't seem to think too highly of your post, either), but if its already known that you have a problem with unscrupulous conspiracy theorists then that's a vector for state actors to exploit/inflame/exacerbate it across multiple channels/theaters. I'm not sure if it extends across the entire western countries, but here in America we already have an admitted problem with so-called conspiracy theorists.

I say this much because I highly agree: 60 accounts says this isn't serious. And, if its not "serious" then this is more psychological than cyber.

Also, you have to consider the open use of war games which would simulate a de facto false flag, without being a de jure false flag.

Welcome to the lowest rung of hell, I'd say! The realm of perfidy.

fastglasson Data Scientist Rebekah Jones, Facing Arrest, Turns Herself in to Authorities

>The problem is that negative tests are counted each time, while positives are per-person.

The point I was making is that whether this is a problem or not is not a resolved scientific issue, which presupposes the data and presentation.

Furthermore 'this' is a 2 fold issue: do you count negatives more than once; and, do you count positives more than once? These are 2 separate matters; however, I would say counting negatives more than once is the least controversial part.

fastglasson Golang's network stack attempts to parse HTTP headers as UTF-8

fastglasson Data Scientist Rebekah Jones, Facing Arrest, Turns Herself in to Authorities

>any person who tests positive will be counted as a positive test only once, no matter how many times they test positive. But a person who tests negative will be counted over and over again each time they test negative for the coronavirus.

Which is a reasonable assertion about "the data".

This is where the point about her not being a data scientist comes into play, and needs to be cleared before going into anything else, such as her personal life/drama. She, like many others, including those in this comments section, are running afoul when it comes to familiarity with the subject matter of the data.

You get counted as a positive case "only once", because (early on in theory) you only get the disease once. Whether that's true or not is beyond her paygrade, to say the least.

fastglasson YouTube shadowbans video titled “The CIA is a Terrorist Organization”

I think 'the meta' about parenting is more about entrusting your children to behave appropriately when unsupervised rather than insuring arbitrary directions are followed by making them in the form of an easy "lie-to-children".
