Some took selfies. Some proclaimed themselves in control of Congress. Some entered the Senate chamber with weapons and handcuffs.

The authors said a coup has 3 criteria.

> 3) Do the plotters use illegal and unconstitutional methods to seize executive power?

The authors said yes.

> 2) Is the target of the insurrection the chief executive of the government?

The authors said yes.

> 1) Are the perpetrators agents of the state, such as military officials or rogue governmental officials?

The authors said no because Trump can deny meaning to incite it. They're extremely charitable. And this isn't part of the common definition of a coup anyway.
The idea that the computer and algorithms are more important than people causes a lot of harm.

I would say that they should, both the protestor and the journalists should be treated with respect. Even then though, a non-journalist that is not a protestor should be able to cover a protest just as well as professional journalists can.

> as the watchdogs of government.

More like dogs of the government. The ones willing to go against it in any meaningful manner are few and sidelined.
I always liked Felix Dennis' metric that he said in his book about "lifetime spending totals". Which he claimed he won at (hundreds of millions) with the amount he spent on crack, wine, and hookers. Good times.
We don't know that for sure. We only have circumstantial evidence -- namely that Durov (and thus Telegram) escaped Russia after having been approached by intelligence services. That's all we have to go on.

Maybe he was able to break encryption and hand the keys to the agencies but preferred to escape to avoid that. Or maybe it was something else.

To be fair, I don't care much if Telegram is well-encrypted. History has shown that state actors prefer to sabotage the roots of encryption algorithms and/or embed backdoors if the service isn't truly end-to-end encrypted. But as I said, that isn't my number one concern when using messengers.
To add to that; with re-assigned IP's, widespread port 25 blocking /most/ ISP connections won't allow you to run an email server on a residential connection.

Spam/botnets have a lot to answer for.
Fox was created by a Republican operative (Roger Ailes) for the purpose of getting Republicans elected to office, financed by Rupert Murdoch, one of the most powerful news executives in the English-speaking world.
Why is it that free speech absolutists like you can’t see that the unfettered ability to spread mass disinformation has unambiguously led to a dark, dark present?

Meanwhile, you’re enjoying the benefits of commenting on a moderated forum where @dang has arbitrary power to delete posts and ban accounts. And it’s precisely because of his moderation on this privately-run publicly-available platform that we continue to enjoy relatively troll-free, level-headed adult discussions about difficult topics.
It's not good for a platform developer to be the only one making killer games. This is a lack of diversity that is a weakness. The titles you mention are the only good franchises on Switch, third party titles have not had the same success. Meanwhile, Microsoft has had huge third party success for their platform with Call of Duty and other publisher titles.

No doubt Nintendo has been innovative with the control schemes for their systems, but nothing has really stuck. The 3D display was a gimmick, they even released a second version without it because it was so gimmicky.

I'm not impressed with making a robust console in 2020 as a selling point. I have an iPhone, my expectations for robustness are higher now. The Switch is cheap and clunky and the screen is low res. Great, it can handle falls - welcome to 2005 electronics.
You're arguing that it happened 5 years and 7 months ago, which is more than 5 years, so all is well with ext4. Seriously?

The point is, ext4 isn't a monument of reliability like you delude yourself with, and it had, and will continue having data corruption bugs.

> Now that's blatantly wrong. It wasn't caused by an ext4-related commit.

Yes it was. This is very clear from the context: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-ext4/patch/500F1C...

You can try and weasel your way out with the semantics, say that it didn't change any files under ext4/ (which does happen with xfs/btrfs/... related patches too BTW, simply because fs/ contains common fs code), but the reality is, it was an ext4 related fix, it appeared in "linux-ext4" mailing list, and Ted Tso, the ext4 maintainer, signed off the patch.

Lastly, idolizing a piece of code is nonsensical. Yes, btrfs had its data corruption bugs, but you can't pretend that ext4 and other filesystems didn't.
Is that necessarily a good thing though? Sure you'd want to co-opt a national identity, when it's suitable. But imagine if all the Silicon Valley era companies doubled down on their national identity at any point in their history...

EDIT : I can't get it to work neither on Firefox nor on Chrome. But I believe the difference is that we can click and use javascript on Ycombinator's version ? That can be usefull to test IE on a website's javascript. Eventhough using a framework like jquery should let us stop worring about that right ?
What exactly is so good about BBM? I've never owned or really spent much time using a blackberry because of the other reason's you've mentioned.

I'm not sure it's entirely useless. By comparing the traffic patterns before and after removing the tollbooth, you could probably quantify pretty accurately the influence it had on the traffic patterns, and then apply that to refine your models of other congestion points.
Does Quora allow PRC censorship for existing Chinese investment or expected future Chinese investment?
Most interesting is that for each of these long positions, there's a short.

The key is that these derivatives are synthetic shares of facebook, not true equity. When available/required, the fund will acquire these shares.

The difference btw this and mortgage CDS, is that this is "equity", not debt.

That's my reading of it anyway. Here's another attempt at an over-simplified explanation: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1936037

Or, a less high-tech solution: use the knife of your airline meal set to cut away the finger.

Then the airline will move on in the arms race by responding with a fingerprint reader that wants to have a pulse in the finger, and then it doesn't work when the user is in distress and has an extremely high pulse. And then there is an accident and we the armchair security experts come up with more bright ideas.

Each "program" could be an octopus with arms. Each arm would represent a standard interconnective role with respect to the grand system. To be able to utilise those resources available to a particular role, the program would need to be granted the pertaining privilege by the user. For example, one role may give read access to personal photographs stored on the system. Another may permit uploading data to the Internet. And yet another may permit making sounds through the system's sound output devices.

Any such given privilege could be revoked at any time by the user. Furthermore, activity on the arms of each octopus could be monitored visually or in an event-log-based format.

Instead of file (data object) permissions being based on user accounts, each file would have a set of flags indicating what types of data it contains. Only those programs with privileges for access to said types of data could see or access the file. If there were user accounts on the system, those accounts would have limited access to certain types of files (based on flags) and certain roles (from the octopus arms). When a given user ran software, only those roles granted to that user account could be enabled on the software being used. Nevertheless, any user could grant the software fewer roles than the user itself had.
Yeah, iris scan isn't safe either if attackers can get the authorized person in their control.
Maybe using two random people from the crew would be best, hard to find out for an attacker and still safe against "forgetting" the secret code.
How do you know it's unlicensed?
I strongly doubt it (for the particular case of strong cockpit doors).

Historically, hijackings are more deadly than rogue pilots. Neither one is a particularly big threat, but hijackings are the more important threat of the two. How many potential attacks from the past decade and a half got stopped in the planning stage because "Well gee, Bob, that sounds great, but how are we going to get into the cockpit?" While this stuff is rare, I bet it's not zero.

Beyond that, does not having a locked cockpit door actually save you from rogue pilots? I don't think so. There's a lot you can do to defeat other people when you're the only one belted in at the controls. A series of violent vertical maneuvers would suffice to defeat anyone trying to get back in. Imagine if, instead of locking the door, this guy had just pushed the nose over to negative two gees, then pulled up at positive three, repeat until everyone is dead? Or, pull the breakers for the higher-level fly-by-wire systems, point the nose at the ground, apply full throttle, and rip the wings off? The thinking seems to be that there was a calm 10 minutes or so in which he could have been stopped if only the door hadn't been in the way, but the only reason there was a calm 10 minutes was because the door was in the way.
These types of scenarios are why the U.S. requires a flight attendant to enter the cockpit when a pilot exits. I wouldn't be surprised if the agencies in Europe implement the same policy by the end of the week.

> Qualified immunity was made up by courts

That is how our whole system works. The first amendment for example doesn't have an explicit "yelling fire in a movie theatre" exemption, yet the courts have defined tests that determine if speech is protected.

> We need a replacement [...] If you break the law - you should receive no protections

That is exactly how it works today. Once you have been found guilty in a criminal court, you no longer have any protections against civil cases.

It's past time we use a better solution for the PSL side-effects (cookies partitionning, TLD detection) than a centralized list. A dedicated DNS record comes to mind.
It's certainly not better than FFmpeg. But I had a look through the source code and the author seems to have a fairly good grasp of WebRTC. The library looks really useful for anyone that wants to quickly understand WebRTC and how to use librtp and libsrtp. It's mostly a bare-bone wrapper around those libs.
Same question I had. Similar how there’s countless links to SUV adoption and pedestrian deaths, but no actual data.
> Not particularly

Legally, given the facts and circumstances, mostly agreed. (Though, hell, I think even Kagan and Scalia were complaining a few years ago about the circuits splitting on these questions.)

Practically, I still argue it is. I'm not going out on a limb in saying that most people, cops or not, don't have a running list of unlawful behaviors for which there is clear judicial precedent. Which means when they commit an act, there is ambiguity--reasonable ambiguity, given we're consulting a litany versus heuristic--with respect to its legality. On a legal level, this is true of any action. On a practical level, it's not. (And the argument against limitedly abolishing qualified immunity largely revolves around it not being.)

I've watched two law firms evaluating a specific case with respect to a hypothetical amendment to qualified immunity statute come to wildly different conclusions about how it would be interpreted by the courts. That is practically grey area, even if legally it's operating on a hard-bound checklist. (New York State law is also a mess in this particular respect.)

Colloquially, if given a set of facts and circumstances it cannot confidently predict how the courts would rule, where questions must be answered about extraordinary circumstances and whether this unlawful action was sufficiently close to that case, the law can be said to be ambiguous and grey.

(Note: not sure why you're being downvoted. It's a good comment. To a striking degree, it illustrates the root of this issue, politically--the spirit of the law deviates wildly from its practice.)
I don't have stocks in either companies, but I can see why a Xilinx stockholder might object.

From the AMD side of things, it's just expanding their offerings, and maybe bringing in some know-how and technologies that could help boost/extend their existing products.

If you have Xilinx stocks because you believe in what they're doing and predicting a bright future and possible dividend while at the same time don't see much of a future in the AMD64 platform, then why would you want AMD to the company.

Most stockholders don't care about the companies they invest in any more. It doesn't matter if they make FPGAs, cars or toaster ovens. What matters is that you can make a profit buying a stock now and selling it at a higher place down the road. Those kinds of stockholder won't block an AMD takeover if the price is right.
Have you missed all the recent chatter about Ubiquiti? I'd steer well clear and look at other options such as MicroTik et al.
Many of Lattice's FPGAs were acquisitions as well. The iCE series came from SiliconBlue; ECP5 came from Silicon Image.
Saw this comment on TechCrunch, sums it up perfectly:

When I was a kid, I would have bet all the money I would ever earn that we'd have flying cars before the ability to do something like this with a phone. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Definitely agree that data liberation is different that open source, I meant to express them as two separate ideas. Maybe that didn't come across.

Dear all, my name's Matt Dempsey, I'm the designer and author of ComicSansCriminal.com.

For a bit of context. I'm a Graphic Design student in the second year of my BA. This website formed 1/3rd of a self directed project which consisted of an educational leaflet, a set of stickers and a website. The website is basically a web version of the print booklet, which I focussed least of my effort on. The website was never intended to be seen by a large number of people, it was coded quickly with little thought for web standards because I only expected it to be seen by my tutors for a quick 30 second read.

I do not think I am above anyone else and am not trying to preach. The world spread inappropriate use of Comic Sans is an issue I'm tired of. This is a simple, straightforward website to try and let people know that it's inappropriate to use it in some instances and that there are alternatives. I stated at the end of my project that if I could just get one person to stop and decide whether a font was appropriate before using it as opposed to just using their default Comic Sans, then I would have succeeded and would be happy.

The fact that I've had 80,000 unique visitors in the last 14 hours is something I had never anticipated and was not prepared for. I've corrected the "it's" issue, which I spotted myself soon after launching but was unable to rectify due to being away from the computer with the PSD files on until later today. Please let me know what the other grammar issues are and I'll rectify those too.

At the end of the day I think you guys are taking this a little too seriously. It was supposed to be a bit of fun, a tongue-in-cheek piece of work viewed by a few people that would hopefully make someone stop and think a little. That's all.

Thanks for your feedback, it's been a pretty overwhelming day!

Your car is a vehicle for transport. Do not consider it as a good way for cooking food. I have tried to do just that, and it burned me in the end. Let’s imagine an enthusiast chef, Jimmy, going through the process.

Jimmy: Hey, I want to cook and have no tools or even a kitchen. I already have a car and its engine gets real fast, wow! Maybe I could use it as my kitchen and save myself the costs of setting one up.

Down that path lies madness.

Problem 1: A car engine is quite volatile and dirty

The car is actually incredibly useful when used as a vehicle, because it can move along quickly and the engine's heat is manageable. But it's a problem when using it as a frying pan because I both want heat and my food not to fall out.

*Jimmy: OK, so I could use my car engine as a frying pan and to prevent food flying out, I could only cook food when I'm at traffic lights or otherwise stationary. (note: if you’re cooking for someone important, hopefully you will have already stopped considering to go the car engine cookery route at this point).

Well, that should get us covered, right? Wrong. That brings us to the second, tougher and not well-understood problem.

Problem 2: The engine is unpredictable and the wrong size for cooking anyway. (Or Why You Might Get Hosed Even If Your Engine Well Is Huge)

The problem is that a car engine offers no guarantee that the cooking process will pan out. You wrap your eggs and bacon in foil and leave them sitting there for 5 minutes, but the engine might be so hot they're burned the next minute. Even though your car's engine management system will stop the engine revving too high or running too hot, the way these systems work do not guarantee a good, consistent cooking temperature. So your engine may very well not be out of fuel but running well outside of typical cooking specs! Which makes cooking rather hard to do if you don't know about this since stuff is getting a different temperature at different times.

This problem is not theoretical and happens in practice, which made us switch from cooking our breakfast on an old Model T engine to using a frying pan and stove, which don't have this problem. This is a real killer if you ever intended to use your engine as a stove while on the road, say, you could end up with grease in your carburetor!

A car engine is extremely good at what it should be used for, that is, propelling the car along. When you want to drive somewhere, get in the car, start the engine, and drive. You'll get wherever you want to go blazingly fast without a hiccup from the engine.

So, really, don't ever use your car engine for cooking, it doesn't work. Use a stove or, if you are concerned with performance and time, use a microwave. Even a George Foreman will fit the bill better.

My anecdotal contribution: Weaning myself completely off caffeine with a "descending dose" regiment of coffee to green tea to decaf tea to herbal tea has done wonders for my ability to focus.

I've been caffeine free for over 7 months and the health improvements make a good sized list:

• Better digestion due to the lack of caffeine induced peristalsis

• Insomnia completely gone

• No feeling "hung over" every morning prior to consuming caffeine

• No swings in energy level during the day except those traceable to hunger or physical fatigue

• Complete disappearance of mood swings, both hypo-manic and depressive

• Increased productivity due to a better ability to focus for long periods of time

The one complaint that I have is that my creativity has dramatically decreased during this same period. Gone are the racing thoughts and flights of invention that had me continually coming up with new ideas. Still working on a controlled, non-chemical way of getting back to that creative state...

Of course, YMMV, but if you suffer from depression or any form of bipolar or seasonal affective disorder I highly recommend getting off of everybody's favorite drug. It may be affecting your life far more than you realize.

I like to analyze potential motives that the elites might have for doing whatever it is they do:

Industrial sector elite: control of resources

Google elite: I don't know if they know yet but they are probably trying to find their place in the future. Maybe control of data?

Either way you can see how they all might be able to help each other out.
