Ex-NRA member here.

NRA supported Jeff Sessions for the attorney general, on the grounds that he "has a proven track record of going after the real criminals". Jeff Sessions was involved in prosecution of civil rights activists in Alabama, and is known for his hard anti-drug stance. Both of those are pertinent to civil rights, yet NRA ignored it.

https://www.nraila.org/articles/20170106/the-battle-to-confi...

NRA also consistently pushes the "tough on crime" narrative, including outright false claims that crime is on the rise in US, to justify both RKBA (for self-defense against said non-existent rising crime), and to redirect any accusations regarding too lax gun control. They are literally saying that the government should be jailing more people and dishing out harder punishments.

https://www.thetrace.org/2016/06/nra-mandatory-minimum-sente...

(It should be noted that this last one isn't even a new thing - NRA explicitly endorsed "tough on crime" politics since early 90s.)

At the same time, while NRA is presumably pushing back against federal gun laws, there's one on which they're completely silent: the prohibition of gun ownership for any users of illegal substances (i.e. drugs). Note that this applies even to those in states that legalized marijuana, and even to medical marijuana users with prescriptions. This is a very real problem, especially given the feds have been raiding dispensaries for lists of patients, and demanding lists of medical card holders from the states that maintain registries. NRA's stance on it is literally non-existent - they simply don't talk about it, and refuse to answer any questions from members regarding it.

So, as far as I'm concerned, NRA is not in any meaningful way a civil rights organization. It's a "just let me keep my guns, and I don't care about others" organization.

Some tweets from @Pinboard feel like they want to go here:

This is a small point but important: don’t specify people are ‘US-born’; either you’re a US citizen or you’re not.

Emphasizing that someone was born in the US as a kind of super-citizenship plays into the hands of people you don’t want to be helping.

The proper term for someone born abroad who doesn’t speak English and has a brand-new US passport is: “American”

We got a dramatic demonstration of this in action, when the CIA performed a media hatchet job on Trump shortly after his election victory (the intelligence agencies are notorious for doing things like this, it happened numerous times during the Bush Administration). Which then prompted him to make the CIA his first stop after the inauguration, to show his belly and let them know he wasn't a threat to them. It's pretty clear where the power rests in the US.

I would dare say that the other reason is that pesky "parliamentary sovereignty" doctrine, where the Parliament can legally do literally anything by a simple majority. People often say that UK has a constitution, and indeed it does - but what's forgotten is that it doesn't bind the Parliament in any legal way.

Of course, in practice, they are limited by what the public lets them get away with, same as any other government. But that is an extremely low bar.
No, extension as in it is not regular. Nothing to do with POSIX. RE2, Go and Rust do not provide backreference support in exchange for predictable performance.
The majority of dev jobs here in AU probably are in the 'cubicle-dweller' sphere. I've looked around at various roles advertised in syd/melb and there are very few jobs in my are (.NET 5+ years experience) paying more than, say, AUD$120k, unless some specialised knowledge is required eg trading, machine learning, etc. That's the equivalent of US$92k which seems lower (like.. >50% lower) than in comparable cities in the US.

Of course you'd then have to live in the US, which is a downside.

From what I've read, they've decided to focus on Bakersfield to points north first (whereas they were originally focused on the southern part of the route). Presumably the project pretty much has to complete the entire Phase 1 route (at minimum) at some point to avoid being a complete disaster. (There are doubtless benefits to connecting Fresno to SF but they almost certainly don't justify the project.)

IDEs like IntelliJ need to do this as they support all sorts of transformations (refactorings) while preserving the original source code as much as possible. Their syntax trees must also handle errors, as they need to work robustly in the editor while the user is typing or otherwise has syntax errors. IntelliJ can even perform refactorings while the code has syntax or semantic errors.

Probably should be spending that money on infrastructure (read: dam) maintenance.
Seriously - trains should go where the people are. The people are in the central valley. Between Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz the population is very light and the terrain is very difficult.

It wasn't until the 20th century that access to the Big Sur area was possible. And even today for over a hundred miles highway 1 is the only access.

Fresno - 509,000 people
Bakersfield - 363,000 people

The first segment connects 1 million people with a high quality dedicated rail connection. Take a trip on the San Joaguin train - that train slow as it is, is very popular.

Next take a look at a map. Los Angeles is due south of Lake Tahoe. So going to central valley is not a detour or some other political game.

The real political mess is the choice of Pacheco Pass (hwy 152) rather than the Altamont Pass.(I-580) Once again Altamont Pass - a lot of people. hwy 152 - crickets in comparison.
This doesn't solve the problem it's marketing to: people can record the screen as soon as the 7 day access is granted. It makes that problem worse as well, if someone doesn't consider this possibility and trusts blindly.

I agree with the other comments that this should be marketed as 2FA instead.
I would dare say that the really bad part is that there's no way to know for sure if he can even comply with that order. As I understand, he claims that he has forgotten the password. Obviously, it's a convenient excuse, but it's not something utterly improbable. What if he actually did forget the password? Why is the word of the judge alone sufficient to assume otherwise? There seems to be an obvious lack of checks here.
Like most supposed "classics"of english literature that high school students are saddled with, it's largely a steaming pile, particularly if you are coerced into attempting to find meaning in it as a raw fifteen-year-old.

I don't understand your point. The fourth and fifth bullet points are intended precisely to make the third bullet point concrete.

Technically they should probably have been formatted as subbullets of the third point, but other than that I don't see anything wrong.

Also, your para "Many readers … The facts are very different." — not apparently backed up by any details — is exactly the kind of weasel wording you decry. In fact, I think I'm being trolled here.
> I doubt that anyone is the least bit influenced in their car choice by how cool the brake lights look.

Doesn't seem so farfetched to me. For instance, I particularly like the taillights on the latest Honda Civic. A lot of recent BMWs have nice-looking taillights too. And I can recall, as a kid, thinking the taillights on my mom's 1962 Ford Thunderbird were particularly cool, styled as they were to suggest jet engines (at least, that's what they looked like to me at age 7). Oh, and then there were the sequential turn signals on our 1967 Mercury Cougar...

Anyway, taillights are certainly not the only important stylistic element on the car, but I wouldn't dismiss them completely either.
A photo leaves too much interpretation to the user, which takes away from what you want from the news - information.

What's the use-case for a publicly readable text service?

> Do you have any specific reasons he's homophobic?

Yes, actually. He's said very homophobic things and done some very transphobic things.

1. He's on record saying "marriage is between a man and a woman."

2. He's on record saying he supports Pence's "FADA" which makes it legal to discriminate against LGBT people in any way imaginable (including denying social services such as basic policing or health care services) if a person claims a sincere belief that their religion condones such discrimination. You can read more of it here, this draft is well-circulated: https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/2802 (fun fact, this law also makes it illegal for the States or any Corporation to have any rules that might curtial these actions, so as a business owner a manager could fire a gay person and you couldn't punish them for it).

And then this week, we saw Trump's admin immediately pull back protections put in place to keep trans children safe and provide them life-saving medical interventions.

The White House hasn't been this overtly homophobic since Reagan's pressec and the press pit laughed at gay men dying of AIDS.

I'm not sure why the guy waves a rainbow flag once and suddenly we're all supposed to ignore his policy promises. He said he'd sign FADA and unless something dramatic changes, he's going to get the opportunity to. Claims of an anti-LGBT stance and homophobia seem fairly well founded at this point.

In Germany the issue is, there is enough money to plan and build motorways but not for train routes. Consequence is, that many routes are over capacity and cargo, local, and long distance trains share one track.

4th - We don't gotta open the door for the cops.

5th - We don't gotta say shit to the cops.

6th - We can have lawyers.

7th - We can have jury trials.

8th - When we fuck up, the punishment for me is the same as it would be for you.

9th - If there isn't an explicit law against it, then we can do it.

10th - If it's not explicitly made a federal issue in the constitution, then it's a state issue.

Per PEP 512 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0512/):

This PEP outlines the steps required to migrate Python's development process from Mercurial [3] as hosted at hg.python.org [1] to Git [4] on GitHub [2]

[...]

The fate of hg.python.org

With the code repositories moving over to Git [4] , there is no technical need to keep hg.python.org [1] running. Having said that, some in the community would like to have it stay functioning as a Mercurial [3] mirror of the Git repositories. Others have said that they still want a mirror, but one using Git.

As maintaining hg.python.org is not necessary, it will be up to the PSF infrastructure committee to decide if they want to spend the time and resources to keep it running. They may also choose whether they want to host a Git mirror on PSF infrastructure.
> The car is slower

Only in theory - current estimates are that by the time stops, noise abatement, track changes, etc have all been factored in, the CAHSR trains will average under 100MPh - closer to 80, which is easily achievable on i5 by a car.

>It's entirely non-obvious WHY we should be okay with rotating all of a sudden.

Why shouldn't we? We have a set of object called multipliers that we want to generalize to the 2 dimensional plane. The presented generalization (eg, the multiplier identified by x maps the point at 1 to the point at x) seems natural; and it defiantly seems to be well defined. Additionally, it appears obvious that the presented generalization is equivalent to the original definition if considered only along the x axis.

From the perspective of the video, the fact that e^x is written as an exponential is "a vestige of its relationship with repeated multiplication". In the construction presented in this video, we should think of e^x as the "natural" homomorphism from adders to multipliers.

The fact that this function has anything to do with exponential, trigonometry, or analysis is neat, but not important in this context.
> His crime is disobeying a court order, which is a crime that you can go to jail for.

Sure, but isn't the question whether he should go to jail indefinitely? If defying a court order is a crime, then perhaps it should have a well defined jail term.

I doubt that anyone is the least bit influenced in their car choice by how cool the brake lights look.

Of course they are, it's part of the car's styling and car manufacturers spend a lot of money on car design. The shape of the tail lights helps dictate the shape of the car's body.

If you think taillights have no effect on styling, imagine a 1960's Mustang tail light on a modern Tesla:

The problem is that contempt isn't classified as a crime and so it doesn't have a fixed term. There are moral hazards with having fixed terms like this, but the moral hazards of not having them, like this case, seem worse.
