This has been my biggest problem for years. The fact that they are aware of this but fail to see the problem is is mind boggling.

I recall tons of it about a decade ago when I was an occasional reader. They would even repost garbage from Sorcha Faal / David Booth, which is basically the same thing, but worse.

I'm not American, but I do know that libel laws in the US would prevent this. They did not witness whatever event this was, they are relying on witnesses. Publishing those witness statements would be negative to the witnesses, the accu

I am not a programmer by trade, but I do build apps occasionally. Dart is a relatively simple language and you'll get the hang of it quite quickly. The widget-tree framework of flutter makes it easy for you to just have small amounts o

> Just use GetX This is terrible advice. GetX is great for rapid prototyping but nothing more. Once you reach a certain point you will need to re-code your entire app to get rid of this. If you choose GetX, you are no longer building a

Data on the internet always travels all over the globe. It's where the data is stored and kept that is at issue.

I find it sad how none of the comments reference the article and people are just using this thread as a random soabox.

All of the commentors here so far are just responding to the headline without reading the article. The article is about Netflix and the general public's judgement of business decisions.

Did you ask? Often times if you send a message that you are looking to improve and wondering what your perceived weaknesses are, they will be honest with you.

My username is just a coincidence. I create a new account every few months and I've never used this one to discuss this topic. The only points I am trying to get across are (1) This lab was working with a precursor to the virus we know

RATG13 was brought back to the lab in 2015. Sars-CoV-2 was more or less stable when it emerged into human populations, indicating it was already adapted to humans or humanized animals, and none of hundreds of millions of wild animals that

I am not implying GOF at all, please don't twist my words. I am merely pointing out that if you were to study the virus after it emerged, you would be studying SarsCoV2. If the lab were working with a precursor to the virus (in any fas

Then where did the virus sample the lab was working with come from? Was it also from Yunnan where RATG13 came from? (1500 miles from Wuhan). Why are they destroying all of their virus samples of everything that can trace the lineage of the

RATG13 was sequenced in 2018. The only place this virus was emerging, was in a lab. Even if this were true and they were studying covid post-outbreak, where did all of their samples of these precursor viruses go? And why are they covering

Bitfinex had to take a percentage of user's assets away due to the theft.

Does anyone know if Bitfinex will get this returned to them (and hopefully repay users) .. or what the next steps in this story might look like?

When we say "low-cost", just how low cost are we talking here? I skimmed through the article, but still didn't comprehend how much something like this might actually cost.

The hacking community understands the definition of hacking to be 'modifying something to be used differently than it's intended purpose'. The idea of 'hacking' you are referring to is a colloquialism that is shared

I think a lot of heavily used UI tends toward this. Like drivers license test kiosks and playing solitaire on life fitness machines.

I wonder how Wise (formerly TransferWise) accomplishes this. They seem to be able to send money to bank accounts anywhere for extremely reasonable prices.

I agree with you that they are not a scientific awareness channel, which in my opinion is exactly why this sort of thing should be censored because it is intentionally misleading. The author has the video re-posted, you can view it yourself

Fair point, I should not have said can't. No DRM is a perfect solution, my only point is that DRM itself isn't inherently evil.

HN is not turning into reddit, however there are some users that come to this site and treat it similarly. Sometimes a friendly "that's not the way we do things here" is appropriate for newcomers.

Surely you recognize there is a difference between presenting facts and intentionally misleading your audience.

Your argument is predicated on the assumption that all DRM is bad, which is just simply not reality. Many companies implement DRM in ways that are poor, excessive, overreaching, needlessly restrictive, etc. .. and yes, while poor implementa
