I didn't think the "Stories" feature would be as controversial as "MobileCoin" integration but apparently it does on HN? This would just push me to disable it (if possible) whenever it is finally rolled out or, inspire me to remove it from my system.

One of the best films portraying Robert Redford's work. Crazy how all the scenes they were filmed in were easily recognizable as SF Bay area locations, such as their office above the current FOX theater in Oakland, the San Mateo Bridge, and the Embarcadero building that is now one of Google's San Francisco locations. I couldn't place the main villain's headquarter location but I imagined it to be somewhere in Hayward's industrial park areas.

My first encounter of the red/blue pill dichotomy was the first Matrix film. With social media like reddit, this idea spawned via memesis and certain communities began imitating their interpretations of what it meant for them. For example, the contrasts between r/theredpill and r/thebluepill and all the other subs it may have spawned as well, eg: r/mgtow.

Richard Dawkin's wrote a fantastic book called The Selfish Gene on exploring the difference between memetic and mimetic theory that's worth the read.

I came across an interesting wikipedia article that attempts to describe how and why mass media behaves the way they do..

I remember HN being a place to discuss microcosm of things related to hacking and tech but am saddened to see it lean towards redditesque macro style of cognitive dissonance.

If ya'll want to remember 1/6 as some hate-driven event, I want no part in it.

When "dog whistles" become loudspeakers to those whom understand the language; a relatively new term I learned about I might add.

Back during the beginning of the pandemic, no one would have thought it would be framed as xenophobia had the US closed it's borders by restricting incoming international flights from Wuhan China but some policymakers got it in their heads that that was the case. As an Asian myself, that would've been the simplest of preventative measures that they could have done.

That's what I did when I deactivated fb: names and contact information straight onto sticky notes, stuck to my monitor.

Yep and in Japanese culture, tipping is considered rude. In Taiwan, it is rude to not offer to pay first after a lengthy meal with friends or family and tipping is not commonly observed. In the US, some Chinese restaurants will force you to tip with threats of violence (my personal experience while dining with family in a Chinatown restaurant, in lower Manhattan.)

I think this can only be understood if you think in linear terms. I thought it was obvious by the second film that when Neo met the Architect, his five "predecessors" were actually in fact running in parallel with him, like threads to a singular process, hinted by all the televised instances of Neo while the two of them conversed on the topic of choices and consequences.

And to think a comedy show framed it better than their mainstream counterparts..

Here's Jimmy Dore's [1] segment referencing a WaPo article [2] and Dr. John Campbell's [3] analysis on why "Japan is doing better" because of this stupid "horse dewormer" narrative.

Be that as it may (a "right-wing full blown crazy" thing), you're missing the point of my reply. They did a short interview with a ranch farmer named Bill Bullard on this very topic.

Breaking Points recently did a segment on this, if you're into this format of presentation:

I third recommend p5js. If you're looking for more different flavors, try the Awesome Creative Coding page on github to get your bearings.

He [Dr. Malone] used "mass formation psychosis" to describe the observed generality of what is happening and mentioned the historical effects learned from the Nuremberg trials to put it into a relatable context.

You're forgetting that Japan is earthquake country.

Still interesting to see how people can rush to blame ML post-processing over a trivially overlooked parallax effect even when the former argument/theory may still potentially exist.

> btw, is the "Karen" reference really necessary

No, it wasn't necessary but at this point, what isn't considered a slur anymore?

Agreed as we've been living in the era of deep fakes for a while. I shudder to think how computational photography can advance to such a degree to blur the context to any unsuspecting user, whether accidental or intentional.

Fabricate Fog

Yes, people willingly got on the train and the platform stewards helped.

I wouldn't surprise me if they did: cold storage on obscure storage formats.

Japan has also been known to cram passengers into trains during rush hour.

I imagine this practice has probably been fervently deprecated due to covid19.

Heavy laws and discipline?

Both. There was an episode in the second `gig` of GITS anime that showcased this model to secure a character's secret ledger before hackers fried his brain.

For a brief period, I kept a copy of my /etc/passwd and keyfiles on a HiMD disk with an RH1.

But what's considered as an OG account? Age? Short handle? Something that isn't imaginative or a portmanteau of something?

I remember the ICQ days where the shorter your ICQ number, you are the OG of OG's..

I'd imagine the specs are rated and hardened for radiation first, as seen on all previous NASA satellite and probe missions before getting into the weeds of overhead and encryption.

Or frame the average Joe for the lulz for political points.

(sorry, I'm just now reading into the drama with the fbi and gov. whitmer..)

I would have understood an IoT widget for the purpose of contact tracing but for this instead? ...

If I could give an analogy: if facebook is the hammer, everything would look like a nail and we (in a civilized society) would know the difference whereas people new to such platform may not.

The UN may be the arbiter of global politics but what they might be exempting are people whom are part of the "opt out" crowd or, would rather not have to explicitly opt out of such (free) services.

I let (robot) Ayn Rand read a youtube comment I found funny..

Not willing to see it from a socialist angle.
