There will be problems. Enough said.

I've also heard that death valley gets a bit warm in the summer.
But remember kids, business is icky, the rich are evil, investors are greedy, and "public service" is preferable to working in the private sector.
I think there's a typo in the title. The article says it's $2000, not $3000.
> That’s not how courts are supposed to work.

That’s exactly how courts are supposed to work.

> If they worked as you say, there would be no reason to have hearings for the majority of rape/abuse accusations.

No, accusations that someone has committed rape (whether by prosecutors or in civil litigation by the alleged victim seeking damages) are legally cognizable claims.

> The courts are there to have a formal process which would determine whether provided evidence and witnesses have weight and elements of truth, and whether additional investigations are required.

No, they only exist to do that in the case of concrete disputes where there is a cognizable legal claim that the proferred evidence is relevant to resolve.

> it would also be required to establish whether anyone who signed the affidavits had to be prosecuted for perjury.

It would only be required for that if a prosecutor was charging them for perjury. The mere signing of an affidavit doesn’t create a perjury dispute that a court needs to resolve if there are no perjury charges offered.

> None of that took place, there were no hearings, and the filings were dismissed without the required due process.

There were plenty of hearings, the Trump team deliberately, voluntarily either withdrew fraud claims or did not include them, making any alleged evidence of fraud irrelevant to those legal cases.

Presumably, if they had evidence of fraud that they thought would hold up in court they wouldn’t have done that. And, given the success of the claims that they did make, it isn’t like the Trump team was afraid of advancing even marginal claims.
Respectfully, this is wrong. I’m afraid you are artificially constraining the argument to symptoms, not a cause.

We’ve seen headlines on this site showing how we have access to more kinds of information than ever.

Society HAD been pressured to toe the line even harder back in the day. Internet has no TV censors, though the most visible properties do.

It’s ridiculous to suggest we’ve become more protective given book burnings, anti-Dungeons and Dragons, anti-comic book, Bible thumping paranoia that used to exist.

What we’re seeing is American incompetence to comprehend more than just their speech is wrong. Their entire agency is wrong.

When political forces beat us over the head with economic correctness, which has lead to decades of growing inequality, and the Fed relied on a policy of worker insecurity to keep people in their jobs, this has little to do with Main Street tolerance for alternative ideas (they’re everywhere) and everything to do with tried and true human nature to maintain economic power in the hands of a minority.

Humans evolved quite a bit before language. What is language anyway except muscle agency emitting random sound forms? Then of course we normalize on them, effectively constraining our syntax systems organically. Even linguists agree.

This has little to do with suppression of speech and everything to do with top down control of productive agency altogether.

The undermining of agency for the masses, sequestered in the hands of a minority has nothing to do with speech. We say a lot of diverse shit. But spend our time securing the wealth of oligarchs.
A lot of people mention Telegram, as far as I can tell, it's a worse Signal. What advantages does it have over Signal?
84% of police are Trump voters. That's the explanation.
Same, I'd highly recommend Hayek's Road to Serfdom and Constitution of Liberty if you haven't read it already, along with Cato's letters and the the Federalist papers. It's honestly amazing and depressing how accurate they were but I suppose human nature is timeless.
This is very blatantly a continued instigation, not an actual call to go home.
I didn't know that. Any link to a proof?
> An informal agreement between you and your circle of friends and family is not a legally-binding agreement

You’re right, it’s much deeper and more significant than laws (which are broken literally every day).

> A modern economy needs private contracts that are fully enforceable by courts of justice, it cannot rely on informal agreements like this

That may be what an economy needs, but what a society, culture, or civilization needs is the deep bonds of human relationships. Those things are built on families.

> I don't think anyone wants to become custodians of someone else's on-line accounts, even if they are your friends.

Have you ever helped your friends or family? Have you ever been helped by them?

I find this a necessary question to ask because the only people that critique this idea are those that do not have any real friends or family. And to be fair, I already addressed that in my original comment (there will be services / companies to help people in that situation).
> It seems that what most people want to happen when someone takes accountability is to lose their job and ideally become unemployable by anyone for as long as possible.

This is extremely context-dependent. It's easy to switch the exceptions with the rule, especially since a lot of media personalities benefit by swapping those around.

What you should do if the situation arises for you personally is definitely not the martyr thing that a lot of "good" people end up doing when they perceive that life isn't fair. Not only is it a withdrawal from executive function, but it's a withdrawal to subjectivity so it will automatically look self-centered even if you are throwing yourself under the bus. Be really careful about making quick decisions at times like that.

There's also no general rule that applies everywhere. And for good reason--context and details really matter and they can help you out of a mistake.

People want to forgive, however they will always look for social or informational signals to derive conclusions. For every person who wants somebody fired because of perceived insensitivity, there's another person who wants someone fired because of perceived lack of education or expertise. Knowing which is which can help you navigate the situation and understand the broader discussion.

You'll find pretty amazing exceptions to the issue, even corporate teams that go to great lengths to provide cover and anonymity so that a good result can be achieved for all involved, including the one blamed for the problem. But by its nature that kind of example will never get as many retweets.

Overall I'd be really careful not to prepare yourself for future mistakes by referencing the world at large and especially any headlines or social shares or retweets. Usually it's a much different situation with more leverage on your end than you'd think.
This article had some interesting comments about steroids, which I think are underrated for solving a whole bunch of medical problems.

But I think something is missing here in the discussion of "Long Covid". If anybody knows, I'm curious about what prior research into post-viral syndrome exists for previous colds, flus, and illnesses? Ideally, this research would be pre-2020 so it's not tainted by current biases.

I hypothesize that "Long Covid" symptoms are mostly the kinds of symptoms that have existed for all of human history following bad colds and flus, the only difference now is that society is looking for and fixated on this far more closely. My reason for believing this is my own experience. In past years, I've had bad flus that made me feel like crap and fatigued for months afterward to the point I could barely function. If I was concerned about Long Covid back then, I'm sure I'd have been panicked and making far more of a deal about it than I did back then.
Can’t speak for other countries, but in France and Northern Italy this is the same: contactless cards everywhere. I live in France and --I have to check my banking app to check this because I don’t remember-- the last time I went to a cash machine was almost one year ago.
Are you comparing women without children against men in general, or women without children against men without children?
Sure. My country(Poland) used to be communist for nearly 50 years, and you know what we called ourselves? Democratic Republic of Poland, just like North Korea calls itself democratic. There were elections, party members were elected - but it was all corrupt through and through. The same party would win with 99.9% of the votes, party members were chosen by who gave the largest bribe or who was closest family member. And the secret police didn't make people "disappear" because of any Western sanctions on the East - it's because they were bad people with bad morals. North Korean government is a bad government, where people at the top have everything and people below them have very little to nothing. Just because they are not starving like people in Africa are, doesn't mean that their system "works". It doesn't.
It doesn't even have to be predicted to not be a black swan. To qualify it has to be so far outside the range of events accepted as likely that it breaks models used to mitigate risk. This was nothing like that.

A 20% move in a cross between two free floating currencies probably would qualify because the only things that would cause it are catastrophic events (themselves black swans).

A 20% swing after a peg is dropped is exactly the kind of thing that a model would predict, therefore this could only be a black swan if the peg being dropped was absolutely unthinkable which it obviously wasn't.
You could replace `Go` with `erlang`, `haskell`, `rust`, `nodejs`, `c`, `whatever language faster than ruby` and remain true here, amazing!
People, please don't upvote any post that has fancy word 'Go' in the title!
let me guess - you have this Putin guy as a personal hero and the best thing that happened to Russia for decades, right? :)
Black & white world you live in, I think some time outside your home country would do you good.
I do like the framing of the issue as a sort of bacterial tragedy of the commons.

> The virulent forms, which descend deeper into the respiratory tract, are actually less contagious. The same goes for bugs such as Hemophilus influenzae and Neisseria meningitidis, which can inflame the protective membranes around the brain and lead to life-threatening cases of bacterial meningitis. In doing so, they risk capsizing their own ship without any hope of boarding a new one.

That the microbes kill the very host they depend on in the process of trying to out-compete each other makes for a nice microcosm (perhaps literally?) of humanity's current treatment of Earth's environment.
I also think it is great to see innovation from compile-to-JS languages to tickle down to JavaScript over time. This is awesome for JavaScript as well as for the compile-to-JS languages.

That said, there is a glass ceiling of how far you can go with iteratively improving JavaScript.

I'm glad that there are more ambitious languages like Dart that are designed from scratch by people with amazing background in language design & runtimes.

Having worked with Dart now over many months at Blossom (https://www.blossom.co) I can't imagine going back to writing JavaScript (not even ES.next++). Dart is conceptually much simpler. I really encourage you to give it a try.

Dart gives you a consistent and simple platform (stdlib, packages, tooling, …) to build upon that works well 'today'. It is easy to pick up and be productive in (compared to JS and all the things you have to train people on about its ecosystem).

With this new direction I expect the interop story with JavaScript to improve further as well.
Unless they bring cost significantly lower (like 10-20fold lower), there's no way you're going to see it for humanitarian aide.
Actually not really. They had some really awe inspiring stuff working, ACID at speed. One of the things that could have enabled would be multi-user gaming at a scale that is only imagined today, literally several thousand players on engaged in the same space at the same time, all with predictable semantics that would allow you to provide for individual engagement statistics and client visibility (basically everyone would see the same things happening at the same time, the really "hard" bit of multiplayer gaming). I had started coding up a massively multiplayer version of rogue since my 3d art skills are crap, the idea being to see if we could get a thousand people into the same room of an ascii dungeon at the same time and usefully engage enemies and collect loot. That simple example touches many places where things have to work predictably in order for a virtual "space" to succeed.
Another twenty years of JavaScript. Joy.
> and AtScript.

AtScript is dead now. The Angular folks are switching to TypeScript.
Apple has no benefit in supporting pointer events. The devices they sell only have mice or touch interfaces, which are well-handled by mouse and touch events. There is no benefit to Apple customers to support pointer events, only benefits to developers who think pointer events are "better"
> "What is too heavyweight is a VM image of a conventional operating system distribution with all of the baggage that it brings."

Indeed. I didn't realise that Docker/Container folks had ever said VMs were too heavyweight. Is this linked anywhere?

> "Would these fine-grained unikernels also run well on KVM, VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or bhyve (FreeBSD's new VMM)?"

We've been asked this before and for KVM at least, it just boils down to someone suitably motivated to write the boot and VirtIO code [1, 2]. If anyone's interested in this, we'd love to hear about it [3]!

That matter of time may be a very long time. There are already foods which handle this application well enough. See Citadel spread, Plumpynut, K-Mix-2. The difference is that these provide more calories per weight than soylent and don't require added water (except the K-Mix-2). If they can come up with a high calorie Soylent and eliminate the need to add water (perhaps serve it as a paste) then it would be used in humanitarian convoys. As it is now, that's not likely to happen.
Thanks for this.

get it from investors with as long a time horizon as possible
Can you elaborate on how to evaluate this? I'd imagine you could just ask them if you already have a relationship, otherwise by looking at the age of their fund?
Yeah I mean, there's probably never been a urandom-based vulnerability in ordinary software, and "library csprngs" are the reason every Debian SSH was compromised and the reason Android Bitcoin wallets were generating colliding keys, but sure. Everything's fine.
Yeah, pretty much. The two guys I know who worked at the NSA were both rednecks.
Apple's release posts for products include technical language as well, I think Microsoft did a great job at this post, but for the most part the marketing of this device is garbage. Honestly, I really really admire Apple for showing the product as much as possible and the surroundings and human beings as little as possible. Apple's designers are forced to focus on making their device as sexy and elegant as possible, whereas it seems Microsoft's designers (for marketing) don't exist at all.

I cannot believe how terrible the Surface site looks, Microsoft needs its own in house designers. The "For Gaming" section hero image has a cheap blur, it looks like a 6th grader touched it up.
who said it's specifically for men?

Women can wear this too.
also when construction starts :)
You're misreading the statistics a bit. The biggest gains in life expectancy have been at birth. There have been old people for a lot longer than the last 150 years.

Even Aristotle knew about menopause. And Plato lived to be 80.
It doesn't seem like an accurate claim, as Rust also has the ability to reason about uniqueness of data. Rust uses a type system to do it—which, via Curry-Howard, qualifies as "automated proof technology" :)

It looks like Nim has some ability to reason about arithmetic identities natively, which is neat. In practice Rust uses iterators to encode the same sorts of common patterns in the type system.
I theorize society would be a better place if people could choose to end their life when they please by assistance in dying (commonly given to terminally ill). Although the idea is controversial I'm firmly attached to it from what I've witnessed in my life. Some people just have a terrible fate and nothing that comes in their life changes it because not everyone gets a good job, significant other, place to call home, and the healthy body. Some just don't want to settle with what fate gave them and others have had enough of life. edit: lol @ the person who downvoted every single comment of mine.
I thought it was going to be about William Sidis.
Most people believe whatever they see and hear. This turns out to be a hell of a business model.

The business model works on "most" people, but not all of them. You can't fight a Fox News with an Air America. It's been tried, more than once. When deepfake material comes to light at the expense of a Democratic president, rest assured, most people aren't going to bother demanding the White House's public key.

All they'll know is what they heard from the talking heads on their news channel of choice: "Well, I don't know, Sean, but a lot of people are saying it's real."
Google and a mind not already up is all you need, good luck.
Yes, the cookies of the website that installed a third-party tracker to spy on you will be sent to the website and the tracker. They could always do that.
I can tell you from firsthand experience for more than a year that the only effects I’ve noticed are slightly decreased libido. That’s generally considered TMI, which is why I didn’t mention it. But if I’m going to be honest and open, well...

Other than that, the side effects have included a renewed appreciation for life and and an ability not to have a sense of impending doom engulf my soul.

I was careful to say “my one datapoint.” Obviously, it’s not a miracle cure, and everyone is different. But it’s somewhat remarkable to diff my life vs what it was.

I’m a scientist at heart. I try to rule out placebo effect, and not attribute everything to one simple change. But a hearing aid is a simple change too.

The reason I’m speaking up is that it’s incredibly tempting to do nothing and to try to deal with your problems on your own. But it feels like that’s the real danger. Even if you succeed, why live life that way? It’s like succeeding in punching through a concrete wall for no reason. Much easier to use a sledgehammer.

You can always stop taking it. In fact, it wasn’t till I stopped for a month that I realized it had actually been working.
It will be put on a tab that makes sure you will never find a way out of homelessness again.
Why do they fade away? Because the experiments have been misinterpreted?
The number of people who have put off suicide and gone on to do great things is immeasurable. Curtailed suicide is such a common story, not just from people who have been exceptional, but normal people who go on to have families and spring forth entire trees of life, which themselves produce endless greatness.
Not many companies had their entire products written in BASIC and Logo.
Notice that your reasoning could be perfectly extended to assembler: there are assembler parts below your C/C++/rust code. If C/C++/rust are so powerful, why don't they write everything in that language?

The answer is simple: different layers, different requirements. I'm not particularly fond of the myriad electron-apps out there, but we know how the alternative looks like: a world where most programs only work on windows.

The same thing can be argued in the C/C++/Rust vs Python/Javascript/Whatever: if only the former could be used we would have much less software in the world. Some would say we would have less and _worse_ (as in crashes and security issues everywhere) software.

Sometimes "a fancy dialog box with fancy animations" is precisely what a business needs. The fact that it can be created and deployed worldwide in 20min. by a run-off-the-mill worker is a plus in this context. The world doesn't care about good software, it cares about software that fulfills an otherwise unfulfilled purpose.
There are services like AuthZero for authentication/user management, how would you compare ASPSecurityKit with them?
That's like saying you can take as many cookies as you want when the plate is empty. There are citizens and residents who have been unable to get home for over a year!
Yes, but maybe there should be a cap based on income, especially if the person claims dependents.
About the same age as UNIX.
No, I hated it.
This means higher taxes for small companies, like local stores, who don't have the lawyers to avoid them; and still no taxes for Amazon, which simply doesn't pay them.
How are protesters against police brutality 'insurrectionists'? Were they trying to stop an election from being certified? Were they trying to even overthrow elected officials?

Not to mention, the largest difference is that during the BLM protests you saw daily police brutality against the protesters from day one, with tear gas, rubber bullets, etc. You did NOT see police taking selfies on the steps of the buildings they were supposed to keep the protesters out of.
I like it.

i believe so, but for reasons different from Trump's arguments.

the key point is that the media was extremely supportive of Biden and not of Trump. the margin of victory was small in key states. so if the media was presenting an even-handed position and not doommongering the whole time, it seems quite probable that Trump would have won.

so the argument is that the media elite has manipulated the population into doing something the population would not have done by itself. this is not certain of course, but it is a reasonable hypothesis.

hence the US is not a democracy but a country controlled by a tiny media elite which has cohered around its preferred candidate.
My guess is people are encountering the situation, working around it and calling a day. Maybe a little note here and there but, I don't think someone would report it due to a couple of reasons.

First of all, I don't think people report this type of stuff because they don't know how to report it, and secondly think it doesn't need to support this use case anyway since space is a latecomer to naming and path game.
Instead of surrendering we - technically aware people - should think about possibilities to make them respect privacy or think about ways to change the situation.
So many children using it. Wonder what the EU law is on data privacy and under age kids? Can under-18s legally sign this snooped data over to FB?

Hope some lawyers can stop this in its tracks. Otherwise Signal or some other service will get our business
