The only videos I have seen with downvotes that outweigh upvotes are politically controversial. I’m surprised they didn’t do this sooner to be honest, thought they’ve been letting news outlets turn them off for some time now.

Someone pointing out the truth. Yeah, somewhere along the line, we decided in America we can have profits without risks. As well, we believe you can make money with nothing more than money itself.

MIDI 2.0 has USB as a pre-req. I’m not sure how this improves things. One of my chief complaints, and why I moved away from USB to an all-midi setup is how interrupts are handled, making USB sometimes unreliable, especially with large setup

Haugen isn’t a whistleblower. She’s being paid by FB likely. Real whistleblowers go into exile or jail, not the hot seat before congress to advocated for exactly what FB has said it want. Y’know, like Snowden, or Manning. Not like Vindman,

Actually, it was a chief job of the jester to cross the line when other members of the court could not. Jesters, as all court members, had a natural fear of execution, but probably not any higher than any of the other courtiers.

An experiment based on drawing red or grey balls/fish/things... You know, this really isn’t a valid experiment. If you do the probability calculations then 2-3 draws is all you need. All this is based on the assumption getting red

Nothing. They simply continue to propagate the surveillance state.

But it IS the answer to monitoring what everyone is saying, posting, and doing so the state can have its panopticon.

True, but has this ever not been the case? Pols and Execs alike want great (or at least not bad) sound bites. They perform on an act on a stage.

Definitely not a "whistleblower"... more like FB-insider political operative.

She's not a whistleblower, persay. She's a FB insider who is a political operative pushing for greater government intervention on FB. Exactly what everyone needs--truth handed down from on high. /s

Oh, indeed, unless you're DJB, never roll your own. I mean you should understand what you're doing and why you're doing it, not leave it up to someone else to make decisions for you. Not that you should re-invent the wheel. :

Yes, technically you are correct. But I hesitate to bring that up, because I don’t believe there is ANY moral ambiguity for the use of firearms for sporting purposes. Ambiguity only arises in the face of human conflict. I will defend the ow

1. Most people don’t even understand how a gun mechanically functions. It lives in the realm of magic for most people, despite being mechanically very simple. This base ignorance of the function of a firearm is one of the biggest reasons wh

If it ain’t censorship, I don’t know but this went from front page to page 3 in 5 minutes or less. This is why I’m growing more and more discontent with HN. Either it was unpopular with the crowd, or the mods. Either way, though, f** manipu

Everyone should own a gun, and most more than 1. If we were to maintain public education (which... just no, please) gun education should be standard.

Been using DAWs for 20 years now. Of course they aren’t changing... what even should change? They work, and do what they’re supposed to. Most plugins these days are stable, and don’t crash. I haven’t had issues in like 10 years honestly. At
