No, they-are-not-actually-contamination. Some studies might have inaccurate numbers due to contamination. That's all.

Important to correct for, but doesn't invalidate the whole microplastics concern.

ETHZ news page is always overhyped. There is good research coming from there but their marketing is never worth reading.

What is overhyped about: "A new trick brings stability to quantum operations". Are people complaining about the HN title as if it's the article's title?

Yes

If you take a selfie with a sports player, you probably don't endorse their political views, you are just a fan of their play.

If you take a selfie with an author, you probably don't endorse their political views, you just like their books.

If you take a selfie with a politician ...

I actually think it's ripe for an extra season because the stuff that happened in last few years is comedy goldmine.

It's actually hilariously bad.

If you go to the last (2356th!) page, you will see eight posts from 2023 and 2024, mostly few months apart. (But even none of those are good)

Then in 2025 @nawazdhandala starts going wild with 22 articles on January 6th. And from that point on it's basically just all him and it keeps accelerating.

I think that account should be banned. Going further, the whole oneuptime.com domain should probably be blacklisted.

I'm guessing there is a bit of a feedback loop now since people try this, search for the slopsite and click it, boosting it higher. For me it was top result (in incognito, not personalized).

Two things you can do:

- Navigate back and open another link. This signal is used to downrank for given query (google assumes the site did no provide satisfying answer)

- Explicitly provide result feedback. Unfortunately there isn't a category for "this is slop" but "inaccurate" works.

It's always been one.

Every single technical auditor I've dealt with has been majorly incompetent and wanted to do things that would decrease security. And these were not some cheap bottom of the barrel companies but the big "industry leaders".

Oh my, that is so funny and terrifying, but also exactly what my first expectation is for a consultancy firm

To be fair, I'm running a selfhosted livekit deployment at work and it's a major pain in the ass.

Obviously proton should selfhost everything but I can understand why they didn't want to.

What’s painful about running LiveKit? What would make running WebRTC server easier?

How will they push it?

Push or pull is just semantics. Can you honestly say that you never ever updated anything in a Linux distro without first reading the source code, checking all the checksums etc? Be honest.
