Re:Ask HN: How is GME not a pump-and-dump? on Friday January 29, 2021 @08:41AM (#25957105)
First you need to offer a definition of "pump and dump".

Otherwise you're just using a term that fits your conclusion.

These comments are groundless libel. Why your rules would protect them is beyond any explanation. I have never once been the person shoveling BS on this forum. But you treat your posters like a bunch of thin-skinned babies. Some deep self-reflection would do these passive-aggressive egomanics some good. I've been around the engineering community long enough to know how these self-important trolls work. You should know it by now as well Dang. I frankly don't know what you are trying to save them from except maybe you pity them.

Turf wars are a symptom of thinking you are smarter than everyone else ... and what group makes the greatest effort in this counter-productive egotistical exercise? Silicon design engineers.

Hackers and physicists apparently share the same malady of inflated ego.

Music is not a theory although there is a theory of music, but not a very good one.
Re:Charles Darwin’s hunch about early life was probably right on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @09:45AM (#25058786)
What I think it means is irrelevant. It only matters what Darwin thought it meant. You are not inside the head of a person who lived generations ago and loved Victorian novels.

Yesiree. We scientists know better. Take, for example, the atomic bomb.

Although the majority of people consider evolution to be a fact, Darwin himself labeled it a "Theory" of Evolution, not empirical.
Which explains why UI's generally are about as pleasant as scoring a dime bag on a dark corner.

Re:EU Draft Council Declaration Against Encryption [pdf] on Monday November 09, 2020 @10:03AM (#25035463)
As usual the malevolent statists in Brussels care nothing about the rights of the INDIVIDUAL ... just "government, industry, and society", whatever "society" means:

"Encryption is a necessary means of protecting fundamental rights and the digital security of governments, industry and society."

But they did reveal themselves by putting the list in order of importance, with "government" first of course.

Re:GitHub Source Code Leak on Thursday November 05, 2020 @08:08AM (#24997900)
Under the common law, actual possession is seen as prima facie evidence of ownership — i.e., possession creates a presumption of ownership, but that presumption is rebuttable.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in 2006 begins a discussion of possession with:

"That possession is nine-tenths of the law is a truism hardly bearing repetition. Statements to this effect have existed almost as long as the common law itself."

Willcox v. Stroup, 467 F.3d 409, 412 (4th Cir. 2006).

It doesn’t mean whoever possesses something is automatically the owner. It means that absent evidence of superior title, possession generally suffices to show ownership.

Re:Notes on My Colon Cancer on Thursday October 22, 2020 @10:09AM (#24858188)
Just like covid-19 ... if you do more testing, you will get more cases. Obviously.
Re:Notes on My Colon Cancer on Thursday October 22, 2020 @10:02AM (#24858109)
OMG. How did we survive without colonoscopies in the past. What people miss is that these treatments are invented by out of work surgeons. In this case, out of work surgeons who used to do open heart surgery but were obsoleted by catheters, statins, and blood pressure medicines. They had to find something to do to pay for the wife's Mercedes. Hey. Guess what we found. Colon cancer ! Anyway, by the content of this thread, everyone is more interested in the finest pain medication available by prescription.
Physics is the study of making simple things complicated.
You see, HR has these survey books. The HR interlopers must follow the institutional labor rates for the GAAP budgeteers so that quarterly margins are not destroyed by the labor line item lest the jet jumpers not receive their quarterly bonus. Best to live free and make your own way boys and girls.
