The man made "conspiracy theories" are not baseless. There is a substantial amount of evidence that it is at least a possibility. There is also a substantial amount of evidence that China intentionally or unintentionally flubbed t

My university won't give me an IP, so I can't plug my laptop in. Solution was to fire up an old windows machine and grab the MAC off that. I did politely ask for an IP before doing that, but they said it was a security risk.

The examples gave about their data being incomplete, combined with the text on their page, paints a strong picture of bias.

Thank you for investigating that. I can't edit my above comment anymore or I'd include that. Although I think the broader point, that anyone can make the spending numbers look a certain way, is still valid.

Open secrets is an obviously biased source that believes there should be more gun control. Their compiled numbers could easily exclude anti-gun spending, and I'm inclined to believe their do. For instance, they say that in 2020, there

There was a recent ballot measure in Montana designed to prevent individual cities from establishing their own gun law and regulations[1]. In support of this ballot measure, the NRA Big Sky Self-Defense Committee spent $52,632.37. In opposi

There's also this: https://hnrss.github.io/ Which lets you set filters so that you only see posts with a certain amount of activity, so you aren't spammed with every single HN submission in your feed.

How do they turn those losses into profit? Raise prices by 50%?

That doesn't make for as high quality of a discussion if I open with that. But it's certainly a possibility, and if the goal was to entrench an ideology, getting control of the hiring process is probably the best way to do it.

I haven't thoroughly investigated this study or its methodology, but it doesn't seem very hard to believe: https://econjwatch.org/articles/faculty-voter-registration-i... >We looked up 7,243 professors and

Unfortunately, there's far too much inertia to ever change back, unless they can absolutely crush CUDA-based performance somehow. Hopefully OneAPI just makes this whole conversation irrelevant.

Yes - I went through a phase in 2008 where I purchased some metals. Then I quickly had a realization that the forces at play were far too overwhelming for the measly amount of precious metals I could purchase to ever be meaningful. Sort of

Right, I was more thinking a mesh network solar operated to let people report their location and status across rough terrain. I may try making a few of these over the year for next hunting season, and place them in a mile or so radius from

I think that the mesh aspect of this would be a substantial improvement over VHF/HF radios. I'm sure I'm wrong, but I don't know of anyone that is running a mesh VHF or HF system in the mountains. I always carry my HAM w

This is absolutely brilliant. If this works as advertised, it'd be trivial to add mesh network capabilities to lots of the mountainous areas I'm frequently in while hunting or hiking or what not. That would be huge for safety, and

Since I abandoned Windows for Linux, my opinion of Microsoft has improved dramatically. Windows has to be one of their worst, if not their worst product. GitHub and Azure are both quite good, and Office is at least OK. All their Android app
