The one thing that the table does not account for is the estimated partisan lean of the remaining votes (it sort of accounts for it by using the rolling mean of the previous reports, but that has issues). Based on what I am seeing (reading

They had the hard drive for over a year. Plenty of time to try and do a proper investigation. But instead they sat on it. If they were willing to sit on it for over 12 months, I see no reason why mainstream media can't insist that they

The GRU likes to mix genuine documents with fake documents[1]. The e-mails that the NY Post initially released are probably real. If the Bidens confirm they are real, then the NY Post starts dumping everything else that they have, real or n

The author of the article is using the bike as a back up to his solar panels when the power is out. He isn't going to be running AC and arc welders off the power generated from his bike. More likely some lights and phone/laptop

Then why bother selling the electricity back to the grid? If the wholesale price is less than retail price, it would make more sense to use the power to offset the original consumption. It seems like the only reason a setup like this would

I only briefly tried out Cloud9, but I was impressed enough that I am probably going to make a bigger push to use it once I get back to doing some programming based side projects, which I slowed down on during the pandemic to focus on non-p

And the authenticity of the pee tape has not been disputed by Trump :)[1] Everyone is aware that Hunter has had drug issues. But HN is not the place to be calling someone a crackhead. Go to reddit for that. [1] https://futurism.c

Images can be faked. Videos can be faked. I can make a deepfake video using open source tools with a few hours of work. There is a video floating around on the internet that shows Trump in a hotel with women peeing on the bed. Mainstream ne

FWIW, using language like 'crackhead Hunter' is a pretty strong tell that you are a troll. If you want engage in debate on HN, I suggest you clean it up a bit. And to answer your question, the intelligence community believes that

No one knows if they were hacked or not, that is the problem. But the cover story is so flimsy caution is warranted in this case. If it turns out the flimsy cover story was true, and if the NY Post removes PII from their story, then twitter

The tax returns were obtained from a credible source, meaning that the documents were almost certainly authentic. Meanwhile, the NY Post has made no effort to verify the authenticity of the hacked material, and it is well known that the GRU

It is a "bad faith" problem. Bad faith arguments are made on all sides of the political spectrum, but anecdotally, it feels like one side is a little more fact challenged and relies on them fairly heavily. And the amount of argume
