"I don't understand why people keep arguing that the incitement thing is blurry."

Because it is. I dislike Trump as much as the next guy, but he didn't say anything new in that speech ( frankly, neither did anyone that preceded him ). What he did, however, is consistently rile up his base. This time he overshot. And he did not even overshot with words. Tons of worse things are said on many political meetings if you ever been to one. He overshot with the timing and a sense of desperation. And the retard got burned playing with fire.
The way JWST has gone so far it would be fitting if it just detonates on the launchpad in one final spasm of poetry.
Things carry risk. I'm sorry.
The other “riots” you refer to are not riots. They appear to all be sit-ins. No windows were broken or police overpowered/attacked.

These types of protests are common in the Capitol (and I’m pretty sure in most other US legislatures buildings). People often enter legally, protest, refuse to leave, and then are arrested. This is not what happened on January 6th.
No one stopped anyone from asking. This wasn’t Trump’s first offense; it was his last.
Y'know I'm worried this will have the opposite of the intended effect. That it will only embolden them further, so they come back stronger. Also feeds into those liberal stereotypes they endorse.
All I see are people listening. Scores of legal professionals, attorneys, and judges have read through thousands of pages of serious arguments made by the right. Election officials have burned the midnight oil over and over again searching for issues after listening to complaints from the right. Journalists have spent countless hours chasing down people to listen to, only to find deception. After all of this listening, all we ever seem to find is deception. If the right doesn’t change their tune, then all the listeners can do is see them as a group he’ll bent on deception. You make your bed, and you sleep in it. Period.

And you follow up by proving just how right he is. First you dehumanize your political opponents--"If a rabid cougar gets loose..."--then you tell us what we need to do--"we take whatever measures we have to to get rid of it for the greater good of society."

And you claim it's the other side's speech that "is violent and damaging"?

P.S. At the time of this reply, it's not the current POTUS calling a sitting US Senator a "Goebbels". Care to guess where this is going?
https://twitter.com/DaveLeeFT/status/1347724201331814401 They banned him from his email lists. Strange Trump tries a sudo(overtish?) coup on the US and the Tech industry sudo coups a sitting president. With only the shrinking broadcast network will soon be his only outlet.
> It’s like how there are thousands of gasoline fires a year but stop the presses if an EV goes up.

It's because EVs are new, and people want to know the risks. Granted, it would be nice for reporting to also mention that gasoline fires are as or more common, and or state the distinctions between fires from a gas vehicle v/s an EV.

I'm interested on technical leadership or senior reliability engineering roles. Having been working as an Architect the last year I lack regular hands-on practice but I'm happy to be challenged for a role that demands it.

I value autonomy and hard problems.
Especially that 500GB HDD. What open-source firmware is loaded onto that?
Yeah, for all the worry about (digital) semiconductors, the US’s solar cell capacity has atrophied. There are a few large thin film fabs, like First Solar, but NO operational large silicon cell fabs now that Panasonic has pulled out of the Tesla Buffalo factory (I hope Tesla replaces them) as part of their global reorienting away from cell manufacture. Violet Power is hoping to change that, but it’s remarkable how much the US relies on imported solar cells, with almost no domestic capacity.

Makes sense as the cells are a commodity and extremely cheap (7¢/Watt...). They’re a minority of solar panel costs (15-30¢/Watt) which are themselves a minority of installed solar costs (70-100¢/Watt utility, above $2/Watt residential), but it leaves the US heavily reliant on imports for the Green New Deal or related initiatives.

Violet power is interesting as they’re setup across the street from a shuttered polysilicon plant in Washington state IIRC. They’re planning to be vertically integrated in panel manufacture (& eventually use that silicon plant) for cells with extremely high efficiency (20 and eventually 30%) cells with a 50 year warranty lifetime (double the normal 25). It’s a good approach for a US company, IMHO. They want to eventually get to 5GW/year output capacity. Which sounds like a lot but is minuscule compared to what we need.

To transition to electrified everything, the US needs 1TW average electricity. We currently produce ~500GW average, 300GW of which comes from fossil fuels. Nameplate solar capacity is only about 10-20% of average electricity output (depending on lots of factors including seasonal effects), so to replace the 300GW average of fossil fuel electricity, we’d need 1500-3000GW of solar nameplate. To electrify everything, we’d need an additional 500GW average, for a total of 4-8 Terawatts of additional nameplate solar.

To do that over 20 years would require 200-400GW per year of solar cell and panel capacity output. And this is just the existing US demand. We need to be investing a ridiculous amount in solar factory capacity RIGHT NOW if we’re serious about climate action.

(Luckily solar panel factories only cost about 20¢/(Watt/year) in capital cost even in the US... maybe about the same for combined cell/wafer/silicon capacity for a total of 50¢/(W/year), so 200GW/yr vertically integrated factory capacity may only cost $100 billion to build out which is not that much when you think about it... Except we aren’t doing it.)

No one believed Facebook could be a platform to influence US elections as well. I remember a tiny investigation regarding this only a few years ago.

You really dont think that when an inch is given, they're not going to take a mile? It's a "company town". Look up the history of that shit. It has never worked to the benefit of the people. It's a massive source of corruption and profiteering. The current tech generation's philosophy is "break things fast". Why is everyone willing to ignore that just because these people say, "we like engineers" but in the background are just as money greedy as the old school oil tycoons?

Anybody else like me who doesn't understand why China is really doing this? Fun? The closest explanation I found is this - http://www.wsj.com/article_email/u-s-coding-website-github-h...
Some points toward why this is not hilarious or even unexpected:

* They aren't really devoting effort, not beyond setting up a skype recording and transcribing the result. The effort comes entirely from the author, Laurent Bossavit, they are interviewing.
* The claim is against the existence of rigorous evidence that supports the idea that 10x programmers are around in sufficient quantity to be a practical consideration for people involved in the creation of software. Bossavit explicitly states that he's not saying that 10x programmers don't exist at all. He's not even saying that they aren't reasonably common. Just that there's not rigorous evidence that demonstrates the phenomenon, even though he's found many citations that misleadingly imply the existence of such evidence.
* Joel's claims in the article are anecdotal, and don't appear to be meant as a rigorous proof, but as a feeling extrapolated from his personal experience. So there's really not a lot of disagreement between what Joel's claims and Bossavit's.
* Even if there had been a direct disagreement, why should that preclude a Fog Creek blog from exploring ideas that are incompatible with one of the multitudes of ideas that their very opinionated founder has published? Fog Creek is very concerned with attracting developers as far to the right of the bell curve as they can manage. Forbidding the exploration of thoughts independent of those the founder has expressed is extremely counterproductive to that goal, since highly competent people tend to have their own ideas about how to do things.
* Finally, even if we were to treat Fog Creek and Joel Spoelsky as the same entity, we should expect such thought leaders to entertain and grapple with thoughts that seem to be contradictory to their past opinions, especially when they come with a more thorough examination of the available evidence. Being a 'flip flopper' is only a disadvantage in politics. In reality humans have to make determinations under uncertainty, and therefore do not always get things right. It's a sign of intellectual maturity to be able to revise one's previously held/stated beliefs.
Lots of things can temporarily boost your income by consolidating several years’ income into one big payment. Sell a flower shop you built up over 40 years for 150k and you are clearly not doing that well. Gamboling can be a net loss over someone’s lifetime and give them one very good year. Even just swapping jobs and seeing getting a few months of saved vacation in one big chunk.

The point is for the 88% of Americans never see the top 1% even after their biggest windfall that's a vast gap. And nothing says 1% is defined by their annual tax returns lifetime earnings adjusted for age are a much better link to someones finances than what they made last year.

PS: Sure, in theory Bill Gates was not in the top 1% while at Harvard, but his nominal income had little to do with his status. Don't forget his Mother was friends with the CEO of IBM that's serious connections.

What's to stop a company like Facebook from doing the same?

The fact that people would leave? Same as what stops them from lowering salaries, which they can already do and would end up the same result.

Well, but it also does not mean that he didn't take anything from me.

Generally, the US tax code is designed in such a way that capital begets capital. Put differently, if you make money passively from the money you already have, you pay a lower tax rate then if you haul brick on your back, or teach children.

Is this taking? No, not directly, but indirectly, sure.
In this particular forum I think votes are a fairly good predictor of accuratese. They're definitely better than nothing.

For instance, I know nothing about security - without votes how am I to know that tptacek is an expert at security and not just some crazy script kiddie that has nothing better to do than post here with stuff he makes up? It seems I hold this community in higher regard than you since I would infer from massive upvotes that what he says is probably correct, and not that he has good debating skills.
Agreed (if you don't like short comments like mine, bring back the vote count and I'll happily upvote the parent)
Pretty sure they're doing this already; have you guys looked at how this thread is sorted? It's not by time of post, implying that your vote is tallied (and counts).
Yet another reason if you get an Android phone you shouldn't get anything but a Nexus.
Can we get a user preference, as the case with show_dead and topcolor? I don't see that could be bad for anyone.

"Show score on posts: (yes/no)"
You can get most of the way there using such an approach, but it'll never feel quite "right" unless your language gives you lots of syntactic sugar to play with.

You've also got to be careful about how your handler stack interacts with threads and/or coroutines.

>but it's certainly more harmful than Caffeine.

I'd love to see that claim backed up by one iota of science. Considering it takes less to overdose on caffeine, caffeine has actual chemical withdrawl symptoms, that cannabis has numerous anti-cancer properties that are acknowledged by everyone (including the governmental organizations tasked with analyzing it, etc) except the US government, etc.

You're still missing the point anyway. You continue to discuss all the merits of caffeine and how you use it that specifically DEPICT how it is a habit forming drug and support all of my points. That's my only point, and you and this other guy keep repeating yourselves about how you're "good people" or something and defending yourselves from attacks that I'm not making.

Thanks for the immediate downvote too. :) Cheers!

tl;dr: I point out that caffeine is a habit forming stimulant, fellow HNer takes offense at the categorization, goes on downvoting spree and defends himself against attacks that I'm not making.

Cool. Love to see that commenting continues to improve here.
This is great since for some reason Skype doesn't do video on Android, and stuff like Qik doesn't have the uptake yet.
For django app hosting, I believe the usual good advice is to use something like uWSGI or Gunicorn to manage a load-balanced worker pool, and use nginx in front as a reverse proxy. There are a lot of subtle things that such a configuration does correctly out of the box. It looks like Gunicorn is really easy to set up, uWSGI has more features, and both are good, solid choices that lots of people are using in production:

http://gunicorn.org/

http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/

If some parts of your application need to handle loads of concurrent connections (e.g. long polling, streaming, etc.) then you can use something like Tornado or eventlet or gevent to make that part of your app, and stick it behind nginx as well. You can also use the asynchronous worker types supported by Gunicorn and uWSGI. Which one is more straightforward is up to you.

As usual, you'll want to use something like Supervisord, Upstart, or Monit to monitor your daemons and restart them if they malfunction.
Is the SA acronym that commonly known? I had to search it, and for those also not in the know it's the Sturmabteilung, more commonly known as Storm Troopers.

Also I'm pro-union and not averse to laying out links between fascism and corporate capitalism, but I think you'd need to add a bit more argument here beyond 'the Nazis also did this so it's definitely bad'.
Yes to distributed data processing. JuliaDB.jl has promise.

I hate dealing with NAT and split horizon DNS to access my NAS.
Not sure why you are getting downvotes but, yes, it's tribalism. If you self identify as an "iPhone guy" or "Android gal" and invest a significant amount of money and energy into that decision, it's hard not to "tribe up" and feel obligated to defend the company you have identified with.
I love Swift as well and prefer to use it for everything wherever I can, but you may find yourself running into walls if you try to get too smart with it. Though I suppose that’s inevitable in any language.

An example of something I’ve been struggling against:

Tesla’s Semi prototypes do use 4 BLDC motors (well, more complicated than straight BLDC) from the Model 3. But I think optimization is really key for making it economically viable for mass cargo transport. Lazy copy-paste is great for prototypes and really shows how awesome electric is for making new vehicle configurations, but you really HAVE to optimize to be competitive at scale. Tesla has succeeded over the last 9 years against all comers BECAUSE they’ve optimized. Of course, manufacturability is one of the optimization constraints...

So the whole point is you don't have IDFA, but each app still has its own persistent ID. Before when you used the FB app and another app they both got same IDFA so FB could link them (the FB SDK in the other app posts the IDFA). However, even with Apple change, the apps can still make network connections. All FB needs to do is make its SDK ping a server with the app specific ID and correlate with IP addresses. FB app sends IDFA1 with IP1 and MyAPP sends IDFA2 with IP1, they both have same IP therefore IDFA2 is the same user as IDFA1. Statistically you can get 95%+ matching very quickly. If you never use a wifi and are always on the same mobile network in the same city, then FB cannot distinguish you from other people who never use Wifi and are on the same city as you, but even then, the mobile phone network traffic has 10+ external IP-s so a few days of traffic will correlate quickly. Even worse, when before FB could get away without beacons in the SDK, just sent IDFA once and then just request ads, no need to store IP address every 10 minutes. Now it needs to ping every 10min to get the correlations. Apples next step is then a universal VPN/Proxy that all apps need to use so all traffic goes through Apple servers in the name of privacy. Then FB would see the same IP address on all requests, until that happens though, this is just a smokescreen.
When 40%+ of your country's population is medically obese - there's a saying for this: these are first-world problems, i.e. this is a good problem to have. I'm not denying obesity is a problem and it's having an impact on our health, but if I were a policymaker I would much prefer having the problem where 40%+ of my country's population is obese than 40%+ of my population is starving due to crop yield failure and failed infrastructure. In comparison obesity is a much better problem to have.
What a fascinating story about an ALL-OUT WAR guys! You'll learn so much about cyber plots, tanks, politics, maneuvers and constant bombing between Apple and Facebook, actually even Mr. Zuck and Mr. Cook themselves taking massive risks in this sick conflict, a really crazy read! I felt like I was a soldier during WW2, no...even WW4? The title is so well chosen!
If you cared about ethical treatment of labour in China, presumably you’d prefer to buy products from a company that rigorously audited its supply chain, excluded suppliers they caught violating it, ensured workers were paid above average industry wages and had below average suicide rates in their suppliers, right?

Presumably if you were going to criticise companies using Chinese suppliers, a company like that wouldn’t be top of your list. Or is there something else going on here?
I know this is a loaded question, but are there any resources you can point to in learning the linux syscall stuff, or perhaps writing a C compiler from scratch? I thought I had a fairly good grasp of this stuff but after looking through cosmopolitan code, I realized Im not even close.

Yes, there are only so many "chronic migraine sufferers." (That said, I know one myself, and I will send this to her the minute you launch - to those people, it is SO important to feel like someone or something is listening and helping them sort through their pain.)

But I, like most people, "sometimes" get migraines. Only in stressful situations...I think...but honestly, I'm not sure what causes me to get migraines a few times a year. Maybe I'd be less likely to pay, but I'd still love to have a place to write notes about those "occasional" migraines in hopes of figuring out what my triggers are. I feel like migraines are very misunderstood and undertreated medically by all but the most chronic of sufferers.

Agreed. I haven't been in the market for a job in a very long time, but the quickest way to lose my interest in your position is to tell me I can't work from home.

A persistently deflationary economy would be horrible:

When everyone expects prices to fall in the future, everyone becomes less willing to spend today. Sitting on cash becomes an investment with a positive yield. The less everyone wants to spend on goods and services, the less businesses sell of everything, and the more they have to compete by lowering prices further, making everyone less willing to spend... a vicious circle of economic contraction.

Businesses normally find it very, very difficult to cut employee compensation in line with declining prices, so they end up cutting costs by firing people instead, making everyone less willing to spend, so businesses sell less of everything, forcing them to cut costs futher... contributing to the vicious circle of economic contraction.

A deflationary economy is a negative-sum game in which everyone loses.
