> The cosplayers are the people who pretended to be the Republican electors in the states of Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, despite failing to meet the statutory requirements of meeting in the appointed place, having the vote signed by the respective Secretary of State, and having the vote receipt submitted to the National Archives.

We've already seen that failure to meet statutory requirements is not sufficient to disqualify an election, elector, or ballot. Otherwise PA would have gone to trump because of the backdated postmarks.

> In other words, these are people whose actions as purported electors are not legitimate.

According to you. Other people feel that these are the legitimate electors. Since legitimacy is a social construct and not a physical phenomenon, there is no objective answer.

> It is as if I were to put on a shirt with the word "POLICE" on it and print out a badge that had the same word of it--it doesn't actually make me a police officer, merely someone cosplaying a police officer.

Likewise, if the result of an election is altered due to ballot stuffing and other forms of compromise, the apparent victor is not legitimate, but a cosplayer.

> What happened yesterday was a mob taking it upon themselves to overturn the lawful results of the election in response to an alleged crime in an extralegal attempt to achieve justice, completely in violation of all due process.

Yes that's your opinion. If you refrain from assuming your own opinion about unknown facts to be automatically correct, then you can see how they may have felt themselves to be members of the public who were petitioning their government or performatively airing grievances just like their antifa/blm counterparts have been doing for years.
Consider the possibility that people have values very different from your own, perhaps ones that seem utterly foreign and disgusting to you (the feeling is certainly mutual) and that this is completely orthogonal to intelligence.
No sweat. We're all in the same boat here
PS5 is really hard to buy in Japan, maybe same as all other countries. The rumor is that SIE reduced selling units for Japan and increased for US/EU. It seems reasonable because anyway Japanese non-core gamers won't buy Xbox Series S/X.

Actually, PS4 launch in Japan was delayed 3 month from US/EU so the PS5 situation is a bit improved, but still complained.

Another complain for PS5 (and SIE US) is that they changed ○/×/△/□ button meaning. Previously ○ was assigned to OK and × was Cancel that's opposite to foreign edition. Now on PS5, its assignment is same as foreign edition but it feels very strange use of symbol for almost all Japanese people. It should be PSX's initial design failure.
Individual privacy is where I draw a line in the sand.

I'm ready to do many things, but that does not include allowing geotracking, geofencing or any other restriction on the freedom of movement and freedom of assembly.

The government can shut businesses, shut public parks and beaches, but what we do in our homes, clubs and other private properties is off limits.
I assume, Rockefeller University. It's a large hospital on the upper East side.
5% of the population is still realistic in a scenario where there are no or ineffective controls and the virus infects most people relatively quickly. This would be due to hospitals being overwhelmed and victims dying who would have survived with adequate treatment.

It's about 3 times the predicted infection mortality rate of around 1.4%.

Assuming that there's a trust being built between users, far more dangerous results can happen than 'nigerian scam' posts.

That's the problem with minimizing security: you're making it so that there can't (or shouldn't) be trust between users because there's no reliable way to know who is making the post.

"Hey, just a quick note to let you know I tried <apple app link> and I love it! Grab it now!"

Or, more dangerously, someone could post a phishing link and because the context is different, people's trained safeguards ("BE WARY OF E-MAIL!") aren't as wary to blog links.

So yes, there are sometimes tradeoffs between security and ease of use. But I think trust is more important to posterous than you credit.
I really want a transcript because the video is going to take like 5 hours to load here in China. Or maybe the video hosting company just needs to get some servers in Asia.
I call prior art. There's some religious group using a stack of about 6 cargo containers as a billboard within sight of I-45 in Houston. I can't spot it on Google Maps -- it's hard to recognize one nondescript rectangle over another.
If it doesn't require confirmation from group members, how do they stop spammers from abusing it?
I faced this my senior year of college too. What drove me out of the rough was Dweck's Mindset. Get your hands on a copy if you haven't read it yet. The take-away for me was that the apathy I sometimes felt was a kind of scapegoat for avoiding situations where I could fail. Instead of increasing my effort when I was faced with the hardest problems, I decreased it by avoiding them. This reduces the probability of failure but also ironically of success as well, which tends to sting in the long run if you don't catch it.
who knew that 'penis' was in the top 500?
I can't believe Perry don't have proofs of what he's saying in the form of code. I bet we won't wait for audit to see the code.

We're talking about code guys. It's not accusation of rape or broken condom.
The Schwalbe Marathon Winter would be appropriate. A couple of the models from Nokian (spun off from Nokia) would be good too.
More accurately, they'd seen people charged and convicted of treason for nothing more than criticizing the government.

This definition wouldn't have exempted them.
I think there's one big thing missing here : the potential to meet future collaborators. A large company is the ideal place to find other people with skills and burning desires to do other things. You can find out if they have these skills by observing their output while someone else is paying. When it comes time to form your own, you should at least have a good shortlist of people to invite on board.

It is very simple why netflix does not offer a linux solution:

The most important thing to remember is:
Offering a desktop linux client will gain them a miniscule number of customers.

Now remembering the overriding point above, consider the following and decide if it's worth it.

* They can't just offer a linux client. They can offer an ubuntu client, or a fedora client, etc.

* Linux video is a mess. I still don't have an adequate vsync aware solution for playing videos on all my graphics cards. Fortunately they would probably bundle their own decoder, so they wouldn't have to pick the poison of xine or gstreamer (which are both much improved in the past couple years, but still have their problems)

* A subpar linux offering would be harmful to their brand image (far more than a nonexistent one) and expensive in terms of customer support. Remember, a large fraction of Netflix's customers are early adopters, so are likely to have a linux box. (They have a ps3 or a wii or a mac or a windows box, which is how they stream right now)

* A proposed benefit of supporting linux would be that OSS proponents wouldn't bitch and moan. Adding a DRMed video streaming program to linux isn't likely to change that.
Mass isn't very useful, because our bodies aren't powered by mass-to-energy reactions. Different foods have different energy densities with respect to what our bodies can digest and use. Calories seem to be the best measurement in that respect.
Yes, you heard correctly. I remember a talk at a past LegalTech conference where the panelists urged anyone doing a lot of traveling (especially to 'sensitive' parts of the world) to simply travel with a 'spare' laptop, and keep everything important on encrypted USB drives, which can be sent through the mail in tamper-resistant packaging. It solves several problems:

1. Confidential data won't be compromised during a border search, theft, accident, etc..

2. You avoid the issue of being forced to give up your passwords to law enforcement.

3. If the laptop is confiscated, it can take months to get it back, so you wouldn't want that to happen to your main work machine.
$500 in 1985 dollars is roughly $1,000 today.
I just picked up a pre-pay (no contract) Orange San Francisco for GBP89 + GBP10 calling credit.

This is starting to be in almost disposable territory for the rich-world's middle class and absolutely affordable on a monthly hire-purchase for subsistence farmers with a cash crop on the side in the poor world.

Broadly-available Internet in your hand to check market spot-prices, research farming or fishing innovations, with a GPS and compass for farmers taking cattle to new markets or bringing fishing boats safely to port could be profound game-changers.

I'm really excited about grass-roots use amongst entrepreneurs in the poor world at this price point. I don't doubt that prices won't dip lower still.
No, charge would be equivalent to potential energy, resistance would be equivalent to friction, etc. You're confusing a property and objects that effect that property.
Yeah, definitely thought about it. It probably makes more sense, however it's a bit more of a pain since you have to re-upload everything to that folder. However, it's probably a better way of doing things in terms of invalidation, as visitors either get site version X, or Y, instead of a potential mishmash of both if you invalidate only some part of it by mistake.
At the point I was writing them I was just paraphrasing the text. When I wrote non-fiction my mind converted it to "fiction".

I'd call it a primed typo. She does use the term non-fiction multiple times, although I don't think anyone could believe they are.
If you want to know more about DMT-related stuff then check out podcast Gnostic Media on iTunes and download episodes #35 and #58. Both of these are actually about 5-MeO-DMT, which is very different but equally interesting. Also there are a lot of really good Terence McKenna interviews on the Psychedelic Salon podcast, e.g. this Under The Teaching Tree series:

http://www.matrixmasters.net/blogs/?p=1509

Of course there is also Rick Strassman's book The Spirit Molecule, as well as James Orock's book Tryptamine Palace which is about 5-Meo-DMT. I'm way too scared to try either, but really interesting stuff.
It's technically interesting, but made bad impression on me by using broken User-Agent sniffing. It supports Opera 10.6, but serves Opera 11 version without JavaScript along with passive-aggressive message.

Same happens on iPhone when you use iCab (exactly same engine as supported Safari, just different UA string).

Such modern site spoiled by bad practice from '90s :(
I'm not sure if I understand, is this abandonware?

From Wikipedia: "Abandonware is a product, typically software, ignored by its owner and manufacturer, and for which no product support is available. Although such software is usually still under copyright, the owner may not be tracking or enforcing copyright violations."

So the software will be there until (or because) the copyright holder won't enforce his rights.
So you think someone is going to pay significantly more than $70 million for that house in the future?
I really like the concept, congrats on making it a product!

For me I have 3 concerns:
1. I'd never use a 13" laptop it's too small for work for me. Any chance of a 15" version? It'd be also cool if it could be used to light gaming (e.g. an Nvidia 1650 included)

2. Pricing. If this will be priced as Macbook pros you will have a very niche segment as customers (basically silicon valley tech people)

3. As I'm in the EU shipping needs to have a sane price (I can understand if this is not the priority at the start)
Regarding the second paragraph, yes. Well, one could say some irrelevant technicalities about the “bounded”, but otherwise, yes.

Regarding the first paragraph though, I don’t think the transactions substantially contribute to the difficulty of mining the blocks. If you didn’t include as many transactions in the block, it wouldn’t make it substantially less costly to mine?
Usually both of those costs are added to the product specifically to have an excuse to charge a subscription, which gets especially galling when 99% of users have no real use for it.

But the most hilarious/sad model has to be Elastic's "you need to pay us based on how bloated our garbage is, regardless of whether we're actually involved in hosting it".
my point is that most tasks are either ① best done in a good text editing / development environment

Your point is only correct if you replace the word "most" with "my." The fact that trackpads are hugely popular indicates that your needs are not typical, and you should not impose your choices upon others with different needs.

would be better done with a specialized non-keyboard, non-trackpad input device

Show me a better multi-purpose input device that I can use to rotate objects on a screen. Or zoom into a specific object without affecting other objects on a screen. Or configure to have multiple hotspots that when tapped can trigger events or macros.

Again, trackpads aren't your thing. Good for you. Other people love them, and millions of people get real work done on them each day.
Just like you drop-ship everything else - buy it and set the destination to the customer's address.
A slim majority of 27/50 states.
Even in those states, non-union employees can be forced to pay the union "agency fees" for representation costs, but not dues which can be spent on political agenda.

PoW uses energy consumption for security. PoS uses staking for security. Every analysis I've seen agrees that PoW is more secure than PoS, precisely because of the energy requirements. Those who favor PoS argue that it's still secure "enough"; those who favor PoW disagree and prefer the increased security it brings.
I don’t think we need more transparency in short trading. I think we need brokers who don’t shut off the ability to buy a stock when it gets volatile.

Most problems... except a problem of too much linear algebra.
The main criticism I have is the requirement to create an 'account' and then having it 'phone home' every time one of the Office applications starts. This is totally unnecessary as annual licensing for desktop applications was worked out decades ago. The date for when the license expires is not displayed, unlike most annually licensed desktop applications so when it does expire is usually a surprise.

To make matters worse MS office applications always default to saving files to cloud based storage despite my always picking a local drive to save files. There is noticeable lag while the file explorer tries to access cloud storage despite it never being intentionally used.
What? w3m is resulting in the same thing for me. No actual links to what pops up. Sometimes links to some videos.
is there a library that can render a lot of data as performant as native GUIs tabes/data-grids . In my experience just loading 1000 items at once it hangs in the browser native dom lay outing code, a good implementation won't create a GUI widget of each item but only for the visible ones and some buffer ones to have faster scrolling. Pagination and loading as you scroll is a hack, an example scenario would be like you would want to create a simple CSV editor and you want to load 1000+ rows , have sort-able, hide-able , rearangeble columns (with a decent toolkit you would just drop a DataGrid component and set the data provider

But to be clear, California is a strong outlier. The average price in the US is 12 cents.
re: tribal knowledge - didn't mean the field as a whole, just that bus factor is pretty low at the place I'm currently at.
You're arguing with a fake Rayiner that you've conjured in your own head because you're angry about a current event and arguing against it is cathartic. In reality, nobody in this thread disagrees with you about family separation. What Rayiner is saying is that family separation is not the same kind of bad as the mass internment of Uighurs. That's not a controversial take.
The correct answer is "both". IPv4 CGN is inevitable because there are more people than addresses. Native IPv6 lets people bypass the CGN.
I know there's resistance to the BI because the Puritan work ethic is so strong. But that's not the same as a legitimate critique of the BI.
I was thinking about building something like tortellini.. although the one I had in mind is fairly different, so I might yet make it anyways.
So how does basic income work with children? What about the inherent unfairness in reproduction ability between the genders? What about illegal immigrants and their children?

It is easy to create fairness in distribution when we are considering giving every adult who controls their own income an equal amount. But how are children paid for? Do we do like current, where each child gets you less than the previous to incentivize smaller families? Does each child get the same amount? What if an illegal immigrant has children that are US citizens?

Also, as poor single individuals, if we pay for children, we greatly improve a woman's ability to have a child without much improving a man's (it is far easier to find someone to have unprotected sex with than to find someone who is willing have unprotected sex and to gestate a fetus for ~9 months).

For basic income to become a reality, there needs to be enough groups in a coalition supporting it. This seems one area that could end up fracturing potential allies of a potential coalition.
I never tried myself Angular and friends, only read guides and tutorials to get an idea of how they work and for sure compared to those this looks much simpler to implement. Nice one.
My impression is many foolish people like the idea of war in prospect -- they like war movies [1] -- but hate it when confronted with its horrible reality.

* First, anyone who applies the slightest intellectual effort will see war is a catastrophe, though occasionally better than its alternative.

* If I remember my history, for both the American Civil War and WWI, people were excited by their beginnings. People picnicked beside the first Civil War battles. Needless to say, they soon learned of their mistakes. Similarly many Americans were excited for the second Iraq war. (And those examples hardly are unusual.)

* Civilians and soldiers who die, are maimed, are raped, are tortured, who see those things happen to family members, or lose their homes, jobs, assets, or see their nations and communities reduced to chaos and poverty, -- they do not love war.

* Those who kill and see others kill usually do not love war. What we compel soldiers to do is horrible, killing is unnatural and damaging to the killer too. We've made others into torturers [2] -- what if you were made to torture or kill someone? War costs many survivors their souls and peace of mind. Read any history of any war's aftermath, including our recent conflicts: Those who return often are not the same. PTSD is widespread, and note the very high number of suicides currently among our soldiers, despite the recent conflicts being among the safest, lowest-intensity wars in American history.

* Those who have experienced prior wars came out of them seeking to end war for ever, for example after WWI (the League of Nations) and WWII (the United Nations and the predecessors to the European Union). Some today mock these people as idealistic, but these were the people who led us to victory in existential wars -- they knew far more of war's reality than we ever will.

The glorification of war, military, and soldiers is highly irresponsible and dangerous. We consign soldiers, affected civilians, and whole nations to nightmarish horrors, and then glorify it so we don't have to think about what we have done. [3]

The author says the workers are killing themselves on the Foxconn campus instead of going home, but isn't the Foxconn campus also their home? At least some of the articles I've seen say the suicides have been at the dorms at Foxconn.
Wage Slavery is a state of mind. You don't work for money. You work to get things you need, and possibly, if you create more value than you consume in getting those needs, you also consume some wants. Wages/money are just a lubricant that makes consuming easier. The real focus shouldn't be the wage, but the work being done. Is it creating value? If so, the world will pay you what you're worth, especially in the long run.
I made my first trip to vegas and was disappointed that I didn't have nearly as much fun as my superstitious friend who believed he figured out how to beat roulette. I really tried to explain him how the odds work and how each roll was completely random... he won much more money than me
One thing to keep in mind is that cookies are not people. People clear their cookies, so any reliance on that as a measure of unique visitors has the potential to vary widely.
We're nowhere near Wage Slavery. As the Wikipedia article correctly points out, "Wave slavery" refers to a situation where people are paid so little that they cannot escape from their situation.

Certainly most of us on HN have the ability to work jobs where we earn enough to save money - whether we have the discipline to do so is, of course a different matter. Wage slaves were commonly paid wages such that there was absolutely no way for them to leave their job even for a few hours to try and do something else.

Today's economic systems, in the west, make wage slavery practically impossible.
CodeAnthem.com has been up a few months, so only full month avail was April on Compete:

Google Analytics (unique visits): 77K

Compete: 20K

Quantcast: No Data

I really have no idea how to find comparable stats on Alexa (since it uses percentages) but you can check it to see.

Compete's referral data and search analytics were also way off. I might think this is due to the site being pretty new ... but I'd rather they said nothing (like Quantcast) than be way off.

Based on how wrong they are for my site, I would not put much stock in them for other people's...
