I had to do exactly these surgeries on rats for a few years as a lab tech. Also did some other fun things such as mass killings of rats using mini-guillotines, harvesting bones and doing amateur brain surgeries while other rats watched rest

You are right about this story. But honestly this is the first story I've seen there that presents him in a positive light in the past 6 months or so. In fact, I assumed they wouldn't report on it at all since it broke yesterday m

It has to be per story without party bias. It's a really hard problem to solve.

NYT started reported on wikileaks emails very late in the revelation process. This already shows dishonesty on some level. It also coincided with release of emails that didn't actually matter, thus the narrative was - hey she is just h

Alright, but who should people rely on? From an article posted earlier today on HN: almost all the media is colluding with Clinton/Dems: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Ook1v2... Site is down so g

it would be much harder to implement such monitoring if they don't have root on your device. There are degrees of difficulty. If you use Signal, you make it more difficult than if you use whatsapp but easier than if you have a rooted p

With Signal, you clearly do as they send a lot of your information to Google explicitly (like contacts) and Google has root on your phone.

A common problem that is mostly solved by other services (like the black phone).

Why would they have to forge it? They can simply install a version that isn't signed on your system via an update. Then later replace it with a signed version once they have the data they wanted. You would never know what happened.

There is a difference, because these people in the middle don't have your contacts and don't have root on your phone.

I am not using Telegram and wouldn't have used it if I was a US journalist working on something potentially dangerous, but I don't think this is a good argument. As long as Telegram isn't compromised by USA-allied countries (

That's a terrible argument. What about all the other end-to-end encryption services that have more users and don't require you to give up anonymity?

There are such mechanisms. Wire for example, doesn't require you to sign up with a phone number. You don't even have to have a phone. How is it not an obfuscation mechanism that works at scale? Also, what if google has a rogue emp

What about all the other alternatives like Wire and Wickr? Wickr went through crypto reviews. Wire is open source. They don't require using phone numbers so it's not really annoying to sign up without giving away anonymity.

I had hemorrhoids that would flair up from soy/almond milk or large quantities of corn chips. However, I never had blood loss and it was mostly gone by the time I tried Soylent. After having one drink made with powder version 1.2 or 1

I think it's very difficult to find truly unbiased statistics on this. Every current well-known analyst has been repeatedly egregiously wrong on the matter throughout this election cycle.

"We have to brick this computer so bad the FBI can't recover anything out of it." This is literally what she did though! Why else would you not just erase but rewrite with random data? In fact, why were they deleted at all?

Here the librarians are not defending free speech but take a political position on this issue. For example, they could have put up a book "Book about White Lives - The European Experience". This wouldn't go over well in the c

> You're also talking about the DNC as if the GOP doesn't also have similar issues. Trump is not the best candidate ever and he has at least as many flaws. We don't have to dispute that. What we are talking about is that a
