Imagine not realizing project veritas is a HORRIBLE source. They have littering been caught red-handed doctoring videos

The fact you're criticising the publisher and not the raw video footage just proves there's more to it to me.

Do you know what a Gish Gallop is? Do you know why they work? no? lets move on then. The creditability of the author MATTERS especially when the author has been known to edit videos to make it look like the subject said something they didn't. Im not spending 2 hours of my life to timestamp every single malicious edit. Do you remember that "Who Is America?" show?

Source?

> Imagine not realizing project veritas is a HORRIBLE source.

Imagine casually dismissing a megacorp exec literally confessing to wanting to interfere in your country's election.

> They have littering been caught red-handed doctoring videos

1. At the very least source your claims.

2. Point out which parts of the linked post are doctored or in any way false.

Veritas is a known alt right group that manufactures misinformation.

Which part (if any) of the linked post is manufactured or disinformation?

One of the last drops in the bucket for him was his story about a town that voted for Trump:

What made all this worse was the fact that Der Spiegel was looked up to for (supposedly) having a solid team of fact-checkers.

As the medium post shows (and the magazine's own investigation afterwards) was that not even basic and publicly available info was checked, such as the percentage of pro-Trump voters, let alone the rest of the original article's hilariously ridiculous claims.

Another Der Spiegel reporter who was suspicious of Relotius tried raising his concerns with the management after he did some digging of his own, which almost cost him his job and reputation:

Der Spiegel enjoyed the profits of Relotius' fiction and peddled literal fake news to the world for years, and the magazine's readers lapped it all up because it reinforced their biases.

Similar issue in my country (Portugal). On our largest second-hand market (OLX.pt) the laptops in the 60-80 EUR range are pretty much all described as "for parts", and their specs are not comparable to this RPi model.

The snide comments like the GP's are due to them living in the american bubble.

EDIT: also note the comment you're replying to is using a traditional workstation "slab" as an example. I'd rather use a small RPi that frees up more desk space than buy something that will make my work environment at home even more cramped!

>Just a note on the word "nationalist" re: Taiwan. It's confusing to most, but in Taiwan, "nationalist" is the pro-China faction, due to historical association of that term with the KMT.

>"Green," pro-independence, or "TI" (Taiwan Independence) would be the less confusing term for the side you think might lose with this development.

TIL, thanks for sharing!

I really hope the GP doesn't work on anything handling financial transactions.

If speed it's only thing that matters, he can use /dev/null for writes and /dev/urandom for reads. That's also very scalable.

they're building testing capacity to test everybody arriving in the country.

Good for them, lets see how long that takes and how effectively that works at a pre-epidemic scale, and over the long term.

Surely that’s not a viable long term solution?

it's the most viable until a vaccine comes, so why not?

Jim Browning is another great channel related to this, in that he does his best to infiltrate the callcenters he gets calls from and find the info needed to alert (or even refund!) the victims:

While Kitboga's scambaits are definitely entertaining and a waste of the scammers' time, Jim seems to be doing the work that a police unit should be doing.

I'll never set foot on a MAX series out of principle. Not much else one can do as a consumer other than vote with one's wallet.

Around the time just before the MAX was grounded, I remember there being lots of unfounded speculations (here on HN as well!) that Lion Air's and Ethiopian's pilots were somehow substandard and lacking the training of their first world counterparts. Meanwhile it was Boeing actively keeping vital information and training from pilots.

The lesson from this is still not learned, and can see at least one apologist on this thread repeating this same BS again...it's infuriating.

What an american-centric view of the world.

I’m not American?
