They believe what they believe and they also hold the idea that if that belief is threatened by facts, there must ALWAYS be an alternate narrative that allows them to continue to believe what they believe. This is because Trump himself is strong in this means of building an internal fantasy reality and then presenting it to others (irrationally) which then either causes them to believe it or come to understand his ego is the issue here.

If you listen to him, he's constantly negating what he just said, which comes across as open to interpretation (or completely insane).

No one man or woman is above the law.

Factual information is arrived at by consensus of people. That a certain group of people in this country refuse to accept or participate in the consensus mechanism (or threaten or dismiss that mechanism) then those people are against whatever it is that forms the consensus, such as the constitution, the US Govt., etc.

This is how dictatorships are born and it would do these people well to understand that replacing their made up fears with a dictator is not going to help anyone.
So you're admitting President Trump was encouraging (which legally is committing) domestic terrorism?
FYI: Fire in a crowded theater is NOT the analogy you want to use if you defend free speech(not that this action violates the 1A)

> Trump organized the rally that became the riot

By that logic, BLM led to the destruction of cities and neighborhoods across the country for months on end.

This isn't whataboutism, it's a call to suppress riots and call the activists and their sympathizers from last year to account for their bias.
Two weeks, maybe more.
Also, now this will overshadow the WhatsApp blunder. Great timing.
WWtbaM came first.

Then SNL made fun of it.

Now the OP is leveraging both with a nod.
That's why we love Unix shell: it takes everything we type and removes the types. :-)
That tweet really didn't age well.

Is this going to be another Thai cave submarine episode?
Why not just make a google map with pins?
As long as I can keep working and keep my income up, we seem likely to be okay. I already work from home and we don't get out much.
Yes. He was 11 months at the time. He had 102 fever and I thought he was breathing a bit heavily when sleeping but he didn't seem to care during the day and was running around happy the most of the time. He was only really tied for one day. We both took small doses of Tylenol to keep the fever at 100. He had slightly runny nose too which made me think it might of been something else.
That quote does not fully describe what is advised, but wearing one when you are knowingly interacting with an infected person is different than general use.

"The websites were blocked for hosting content that is pro terrorist group ISIS and not cooperating with government investigations, officials said."

For some strange reason I'm inclined to believe you rather than India's government officials.
Well, I'm sure there are many rare-book-specializing criminal gangs who draw their membership almost exclusively from off-duty trained crevasse-rescue teams in heavily glaciated parts of the world, but we don't tend to get so many of them around West London.
I reject your absolutist ideology. If it's a forced choice of with your or against you, then you've asked for against.

Edit: With them or they'll do anything from downvote you to set your car on fire. This is why people don't believe you, or support you.

Look at the modern intellectual arguing the equivalent of Wickard v Filburn. Anti-union would be going out of my way to lobby my government to forbid unions. Neutral is just not supporting you because I can't tell if you have a valid case or not. As for being a coward, that's the modern unionist screaming slurs at other workers and beating them up in the parking lot.

The sad truth is that original unionists, who fought for safety in mines, etc, are being conflated with marxists who are really anti worker.
I can't find any sources for this. Can you provide one?
On top of that a lot of them are really unfamiliar with the withdrawal affects of ssri's. When I was tapering off of Paxil my psychiatrist seemed to think that withdrawals were just going to be a couple weeks of mild anxiety. In reality, each taper down took me over 3 months to get back to normal.
Eh, I guess that's one interpretation of the comment, the OP was talking about cost per MW/hr. But at something like $9K MW/hr, then a day's worth of usage could well be $240.

I guess with numbers like this I was just looking for clarification.
There are multiple replies and retweets that compare COVID-19 to flus/colds in a “COVID-19 is the same” context. Or suggesting that drastic measures are unwarranted or unreasonable.

The kerpen tweet thread is troubling because it suggests that the CDC is both providing accurate data and that they are only providing guidance for political reasons. So they aren’t lying, but they are? Then he compares COVID-19 to the flu and cold, ignoring that transmission by children can affect adults.

Here is another one (in addition to the one above about children):

> No lockdown in 2017-2018 cold season!

https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1335873383209177088?s...

That is ignoring that the fatality rate and transmission rate is significantly higher in COVID-19.

Maybe all of these things comparing the equivalence of the cold and COVID-19 mean nothing to you, but they seem significant to me. Perhaps you’ll defend these by saying, “in isolation this data is accurate.” That point falls flat when taken in context to our situation — they are marketing a perspective.

You asked me for some citations for my comments and then criticized that I provided citations for why I said what I said. Nobody said you’re on “Team Reality” but you.

(Oh, and also: I can’t go back further than 10/10 on your tweets but there were a number of retweets from EthicalSkeptic saying that the death count was a lie and suggesting that COVID-19 wasn’t a big deal.)

Edit: Here is a comment from someone in the thread discussed. This is the “subtext” I see. https://twitter.com/MarkChangizi/status/1282074580350312450?...
Sure, semantic diff is nice, but it is purely optional. One can diff programs as text and get pretty far -- after all, that's what practically every version control system does today.

The current products do have a bit of semantic knowledge, in the form of syntax highlights and function navigation, but those do not require full language understanding, fail gracefully if they are wrong, and often can be implemented with just a bunch of regexes.

This makes then writing a new text-based tool simpler (even if semantics is wrong, it is still useable). It also makes writing a new text-based programming language simpler (even though existing tools don't know my language's semantics, they can still work with the text including diffs).
If that were the case, the conclusion would have been the opposite, and the title would have been something like: “Location-Based Pay is more common then you think, and Bad Actually”, and statements like “maybe we should be careful what we wish for” would rather be something like:

> As workers united in the goal for international solidarity we should reject the notion of Location-Based Pay, not only because it devalues our own work, but primarily because this practice is causing mass poverty and underpay among our fellow workers in the poorer regions in the world.
The problem is that truth is always nuanced and never as simple as it needs to be to get a clear message out. It's fluid and a lot of people don't understand it can and will change - or worse conditioned to think changing your opinion due to changing or additional facts is flip-flopping and therefore bad.

The problem is that to keep it simple you have to omit information and sometimes lie to get the needed outcome and sometime not correct incorrect but not harmful advice to keep it simple.

But I do think they screwed up with the early mask advice. With masks, they are not effective protection if it's just you wearing the mask - but there is some value when everyone does. They should have mandated wearing masks from the start like in Taiwan, Singapore, HK. Simple.
Politics is a route to power. It is only that. Its virtue, inasmuch as it has one, is that when properly performed it involves no violence, or at least much less violence than any other route to power commonly encountered in human history.
Runet (Russian-speaking part of Internet) has LOTS of it. We have HN equivalent (habr.com). We have RSDN (rsdn.org), which is somewhat like StackOverflow, but in Russian.

Social networks largely unknown outside of Russia? We have'em (vk.com, ok.ru). Reddit equivalent? See pikabu.ru. IMDB? See kinopoisk.ru.

There's a Russian browser (Yandex.Browser), Russian map service (Yandex.maps), tons of Russian e-mail, hosting and cloud services, Russian Spotify (Yandex.Music), Russian Netflix (several of them, actually), Russian Uber (Yandex.Taxi, which actually owns Russian Uber).

You'll see lots of Yandex services here, it's sort of Russian Google (except it predates Google by a year or so). Yandex's primary business is search and advertising, but just like Google, they diversify a lot. And even in primary area, they sometimes manage to beat Google. Yandex's reverse image search (when you upload the image to search for similar ones) is FAR superior to Google's.

And there's a lot of unique Russian content on global sites like Facebook, Livejournal (owned by a Russian company nowadays) or Wikipedia.
Different tools for different jobs. My Eriksen is as fine a bike as you’ll find anywhere, but it’s probably too supple for the serious amateur racer. I have a couple very high end carbon bikes, which are marvels. For a race, I’d go carbon super light. For a really climby day I’d take the super light. For a long ride, casual ride or a personal tour, I’d take the Eriksen every single day. I’ll own that bike the rest of my life and probably ride it as long as I can ride.

As for the topic, it’s apropos to our ti tangent. Scandium made the aluminum a bit easier to work and a bit more supple (al frames can be brutally stiff, like really racy carbon frames) I think they triple butted the ends of the tubes to provide enough material to bond which added stiffness. With scandium you can weld it without as much metal, it’s stronger and since you use less metal it has a bit more flex. Al construction got better and carbon came along which is even cheaper... I keep a bianchi veloce cross scandium bike, still quite delightful to ride, it’s my main winter bike and it doesn’t seem to beat me up like some of the really stiff al racing bikes of the era.
There is no such thing as "the science". Science doesn't say anything, people say thing. You don't follow science, you follow what some people said in their research. The world needs to understand that science is nothing but a set of guidelines/principles to discover knowledge and it is up-to the people to follow them properly or cut corners and let their biases take over.
I understand that Clojure does this under the covers with great speed, but is that the only benefit? I want to reiterate that I'm merely confused here and not trying to argue my silly function with type check is good code. I still feel like something about types/protocols isn't clicking in my brain.

What's the difference between extending a protocol including make-hash and human-readable-hash for MyIntHolder and doing two defmethods that define those and are dispatched on an instance of MyIntHolder? (Sorry if my Clojure lingo is off there, I hope this makes sense)

> How, exactly, would I as a BloomFilter writer know about MyIntHolder in order to put it in that conditional?

Didn't the person writing this need to know about MyIntHolder?

(extend-protocol BloomFilterable
MyIntHolder
...

> It's like saying "this.x"

But what is "x" there? I'm probably reading it too literally, but I see that MyIntHolder takes 1 value (of type int). I don't see any name associated with it, is the "x" just an unrelated example?
Neither of those became pandemic viruses though. And the specific year over year risk was essentially unknown until a new virus emerged at such point we had a couple of months to determine what we thought would happen.

That's the specific event risk: pretty obviously if we had maintained effective pandemic response measures, and maybe focussed on general infectious agent spread control measures as a society (i.e. a year over year goal to reduce influenza cases, update building codes to require less touchable surfaces to navigate) then we'd be better off then we are.
And where does that independent company focused on privacy get its money from?
Scala may be a way to get many of the benefits of Erlang and Haskell while also using a platform that is very successful and well-understood. And if I need to calculate what day of the week it is in 10 days in German, I know some library will exist for this. Scala could be snake oil, but it looks interesting.

I have to come to terms with my own ignorance. I'm not saying there isn't a good date library in Haskell. I'm saying I don't know if there is one, and as long as I'm learning a new language, I might as well choose something where I know at least some of those issues are definitely solved. This may cause some partisans to rage, but when choosing a language for a project, personal comfort is really the #1 issue.
This was the missing piece; Facebook disconnect extension is awesome and this one completes my escape from useless social cruft.
Cheat - use the version that actually works on your phone for the demo, then have the people who are interested in it give your their email so you can send a message to them the moment the new version is ready.

If they are willing to come to a demo of your app, chances are they are so interested they are also willing to wait a bit for it.
Hacker Monthly (http://hackermonthly.com), self-sustaining so far and doing everything to keep cost really low:

- Only 1 fulltime employee (um...me) + 3 remote freelancers.

- Works from home.

- Based in Penang island (somewhere between Bangkok and Singapore with its living cost much lower than both of them).
You're paying $0.0004 per kwh?
So unfair that Apple is requiring Facebook to .. tell users what their app is doing?
What's even more interesting is that Lippman proposed a separate entity which was meant to inform the media!
> Sure, an internet connection is required.

It's much worse than that. The existence of the company and their servers is required. So when those disappear, the customer-owned hardware is bricked? No thanks.

No customer-owned hardware should ever depend on the continued existence of the company that sold it.
If you're using wildcards, you're gonna have a bad time.
Because it's usually cheaper than the average energy prices from traditional energy providers.
There is no EEA 4 and reserves are down to 318 MW.
Most of my team wants to come to the office and is always super happy when they find a reason to do so. "Oh, I have to test this mobile device which only works in the office, can I come in today @ $manager?"

And currently I am at the office together with one other person. Beats being alone at home. At least a few days per week.
It's always so fun to be at the office with my coworkers and I am looking forward to them all coming back.
Dwarf Fortress' creator Tarn Adams is the antithesis of this guy, as far as I can see from a brief perusal of his articles beyond this one. Tarn is humble, often plays down his acheivements, is really interested in how his players and community interact with the systems, and builds out complexity based on the desires and needs of the players.

I don't mean to diminish the work of Crawford, but he is building the same kind of simulationst mechanisms that Adams is, but Adams hit on success partly because of his personality.
This is so cool, I can't wait to see a multiplayer adaption now that it's open-source! Oh please reverse engineer GTA:IV and bring it back to life as well
Nope, this story is about the post-main account ban game of whack-a-troll.
Leading many to thing -correctly- that the rioters killed five people.

The actions of a group designed to deliberately create panic and terror caused the heart attack in the assaulted. Without the rioters this people would be alive today, therefore is obvious that they killed also those people.
Right, it's more of a convenience.
Somehow, most other elected officials manage just fine. Trump had even more potential reach. He chose to put all this power in Twitter's hands.

Y'all should be thankful this failed authoritarian was so incompetent.
any vendor in theory. The host, upstream provider, DNS provider, domain registrar, CDN, anti-ddos service, lots of options.

I don’t know enough about ICANN but I think they only way they could do anything to a single site would be to lean on the registrar.
They don’t. Anyone can post anything on their own website.

In Trump’s case he can call a press conference.
Porting code from SPARC to x86 is much easier than the other way around. Most x86 instructions allow unaligned reads/writes, whereas SPARC will SIGBUS on unaligned access (at least on the processors from the late 1990s). The SPARC memory model is also more lax than x86, so x86 hides more concurrency bugs than x86 does.
The WJACTV article you referenced literally includes a response from the department of state and an explanation of the discrepancy.
Not sure why this is being downvoted. It's a very valid point whether or not you agree with the messages going out on these platforms, the significance these platforms play in public and political discussion is quite apparent. These are serious issues people need to discuss and try to figure out. There is no longer a public square people gather and talk, even more so during this pandemic.

Right now I support the effort given the context, but what happens if I'm on the other side of the table and in the right?
I suspect this is why so many people that live out of vehicles (Cars, RVs, whatever) have a fire/carbon monoxide detector.
Oh, yeah, sed and awk are great, I meant ed in particular.
Most Node.js I've seen doesn't make extensive use of Javascript's built-in exception handling, and instead relies on the convention of the first parameter of a callback being an Error object if one occurred (so no try/catch, which doesn't catch async errors anyway).

The stack trace is a pain for those operations, and any error that occurs as part of "normal" javascript operation (e.g. ReferenceError) has to be handled like a normal exception, which makes the style inconsistent and therefore a bit harder to manage.

I think that the latest or upcoming version of Node is presenting a solution to this in the form of domains, but I'm not too familiar with it.
As to possible improvements (it's both a house and a vehicle, so there's plenty to keep one busy if that's the choice):

Solar panels are much better these days and a bus has obviously tons of space to put them.

AGM batteries are also the way to go.

If there were an raspberry pi + app to remotely report battery charge level on a mobile, that would be awesomesauce.
pretty cool art project, thanks for sharing.
Here's a hypothesis to consider.

Q: Is there a strong correlation between being lonely and being heavier?

H: Being lonely has several relations to eating 'worse' food, and more of it. An economical standpoint (at least in the US). A social activities promote things other than eating to fill time. A 'rewards' perspective, where lacking other forms of joy fatty, sugary, salty foods fulfill a basic stimulation requirement.

It would be interesting if a mental health research institution designed and ran a fundamental research study to determine if one, some, all, or more (possible) of these causes were related.
Yeah, I haven't gotten a chance to try my stuff under 4 yet (blol Apple changing how the original window is generated and breaking apps), but an IDE where I can not have 47 windows open at the end of a dev session? finally!

XCode is finally catching up to eclipse... hopefully soon I'll be able to program in it without feeling like I'm only a quarter as productive as I need to be...
Given the alternative is having several different shoddy (manufacturer specific) UIs it seems like Google is making the right choice.

After all, the iPhone UI is pretty fantastic and Google really needs to achieve some sort of parity on this front.
What shortcomings have you experienced with SourceTree?
Literally all journalism is opinion journalism. There's no unbiased way to record any story where the word "why" must at any point be asked. The desire of some well-meaning but foolish people to hold journalism to that standard gives cover to the ones who will adopt that cloak of impartiality and use it to lie to you.

What a curious post. Pure mathematics is nothing but ideas - often very deep ones that very few people are capable of originating. If you take Adams literally, then mathematics is worthless. Is the idea of the Ricci flow, which Perelman used to prove the Poincare conjecture, really useless?

The problem Adams is addressing, so far as I can see, is that many people think trivial, easy-to-have ideas are somehow valuable. Of course, that's false, as Adams says. Value is associated to scarcity. Easy-to-have ideas aren't valuable, simply because they're not scarce. An idea like the Ricci flow is valuable, because very few people are capable of having it.

Ditto the ideas behind deep algorithms. PageRank had value in large part because relatively few people had the depth of insight required to come up with it.

Come to think of it, the Turing machine was an idea that Turing invented to formalize Hilbert's intuitive notion of an effective computation. And I think that idea turned out to have some value.
Only if master executors were dumbos. As someone pointed out above, good executors fix mediocre ideas.

Unfortunately, it started a few years ago when Gruber took a break from writing anything interesting and decided to focus all of his energy for months on the thoroughly uninteresting wi-fi macbook hack story (on which he was ultimately pretty wrong).

There have been some real gems in the last year, like when Gruber took it upon himself to declare the A4 the most advanced mobile computing chip ever created (despite knowing essentially nothing about what the A4 actually was).
