So let's talk about that.

On the day the shooter was killed, Obama gave a press conference[1] where he said:

We still don’t know all the facts. What we do know is that there’s been a vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement. Police in Dallas were on duty, doing their job, keeping people safe during a peaceful protest. These law enforcement officers were targeted, and nearly a dozen officers were shot, five were killed.... According to police there are multiple suspects. We will learn more undoubtedly about their twisted motivations, but let’s be clear, there is no possible justification for these kinds of attacks. Grave violence against law enforcement. The FBI is already in touch with the Dallas police; anyone involved in these senseless murders will be held fully accountable. Justice will be done.

Three days later he had returned from Spain (before planned) to visit the survivors, where he ... described the Dallas shooting as a "hate crime" against police, according to a top law enforcement representative in the meeting with Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. One really striking thing the president said in his opening remarks was that the shooting in Dallas in many ways was strikingly parallel to the Dylann Roof shooting in Charleston in the sense that it was a hate crime[2]

The Dallas shooting were a terrible thing, and Obama seems to have responded as one would expect a President should.

Outside the Dallas shooting, Obama himself seems to have had some issues with police behavior. But that didn't stop him saying what should be said.

White supremacists may have terrorized a town, but the killing of a person can hardly be described as a lynching.

Having seen a video of the incident, the more cynical side in me whispers that those masked and armed “protesters” just nearly got more than they bargained for when coming to pick up fights, not that it justifies anyone's actions. The actual victim may have not been a part of these hooligans but certainly treaded a no-good group of people quite closely.

Funnily enough, microcomputers themselves were once the technology solution in search of a problem. The "home computer" fad of the 80s promised lots of applications that didn't quite pan out, including finance, "helping kids with the homework", "the little lady can store her recipes", and home automation. The only ones that really panned out were games (including edutainment), spreadsheets, word processing, and maybe small single-user databases. Anything more required much more sophisticated and expensive equipment, which wouldn't become commonplace till around the 386 era.
You cannot "take" responsibility. You can face the responsibility you have, or don't. You cannot shed one iota of it, or take one additional iota. And "subordinates" or also responsible for the orders they follow. Their leader cannot absolve them.
Maybe... There are a lot of non-China + reasonable comments there, but anything related to China is too close to the party line and framed in such a way as to suggest they know how to frame propaganda well. I find it hard to believe that China (like Russia) isn't conducting a "spread propaganda through comments" campaign and has not identified HN as a key opinionmaker in the tech industry.

No, but blockchains aren't the solution to everything. If you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail, and this definitely seems to be something that lives in the crypto community. Blockchains: the solution to every problem that has ever existed and will ever exist has arrived.

Are there? I mean, I see lots of false equivalence arguments and (possibly fair, possibly not) criticisms of political violence from left-leaning groups.

But surely no one is arguing "Nazis aren't bad" on HN?
Indeed. Part of how they have done this is by taking over the state legislatures (both parties), and passing laws and regulations at the Secretary of State level that make it extremely difficult for third-parties and independents to run for federal office. For example, in Texas, a person wanting to run as an independent candidate for president needs to get 80k signatures on a petition by people who voted in neither party primary. Except they will dispute as many signatures as possible, so it's more like 120k needed. Also, you have 69 days to do it!

Both parties are corporations and are part of the problem. They circled the wagons when Ross Perot scared the shit out of them in 92, and the League of Women Voters withdrew from doing the debates because of how unfair they were becoming.

What a disappointment. CastAR was probably my favorite contestant for a VR/AR gadget.

And the reason is quite simple: I do flight and racing simulators. Anything involving a headset that occludes vision of your surroundings makes it impossible to see your controllers. It's fine as long as you're hands on wheel/yoke/stick and feet on pedals only driving or flying around with a relatively simple car or aircraft, but once you need to reach for the brake balance, landing gear, flaps, engine mode, air traffic control, pit strategy, etc, you need to find the right button. And there are plenty of buttons if you do serious sims.

CastAR would have been perfect for building sim pits because you could have a very large display area with the "relatively inexpensive" retroreflector fabric. I was dreaming about a simpit flight deck with aircraft window shaped reflective surfaces.

Oh well, I've managed so far with plain old monitors. Maybe will be a better gadget in the future, but none of the current VR gadgets do what I want.

What sort of mental gymnastics is this ? You can't invalidate investigative journalism just because of someone's political alignment and they didn't even make DisruptJ20 look bad they made it look like a bunch aggresive people who think it's they're job to bring the world back to balance.

I'm not even defending this whole dreamhost thing, it's wrong on many levels but your thinking will hurt you.
The fundamental bias here is not the media, but the definition of "left". If you transplanted CNN into France or Germany, their editorial position would be on the mainstream center-right.

For example, I've noticed that a lot of Americans think of Angela Merkel as a leftist. But she's a right-wing conservative from a party called "Christian Democratic Union"!

In a way, the American media has been successfully gerrymandered: the extreme right has been pulling the left/right demarcation line towards them for decades.
Hmm. I thought this might create a bit more of a buzz around here. Even though it only available to those of us in the UK, episode 1 features an interview with a somewhat grumpy Sam Altman of Y Combinator.

There's nothing new here for someone whose been in the tech industry for a while, but it was interesting to see some of the denials. There was an unwillingness to want to admit that social media and AI will have downsides, and that they will also be used by bad guys. Sam tells Jamie Bartlett that he is being negative.

Jamie is trying to show that the dream about making the world a better place gets overtaken by the need to make money and be tax efficient.

when wealth and income disparity are at an all time high then for the ruling class paralysis is the best policy.

as long as politically irrelevant people on the left and right are busy yelling at each other about irrelevant issues that have no effect of wealth and income distribution then everything is going according to plan.

So does any random decent person, no leadership or subordination required.

Except they don't. They are repeating the rationalizations and their weak-ass half-truths that were hammered into their head. I doubt this guy told his men that they're there to control oil and whatnot.

> Even spontaneous militias (and civilian groups) have leaders.

Except the second they're unfit, they have nothing to say anymore. Because it arises naturally. Compare to the military where disobeying orders doesn't result in "Oh well, I should have made you want to do this, it's my fault you don't want to do it. Don't worry, we're cool."

I don't understand why everyone wouldn't subtitle their content. I used rev.com and it costs $1 per minute and the results are great. So to subtitle three hours cost $240. With many non-native English speakers as customers it is a no-brainer.

It's good to hear this too, because the text in that box originally said 'Filmed in 4K' and I only changed it to 'Fully subtitled' at the last moment.
The electoral college has a purpose and plenty of thought went into it. Also, this narrative of spoiler candidates is bullshit.

I felt like that at my previous job(startup) everyone was very progressive and if you disagreed with any progressive ideologies you would be socially shunned.

Being rather moderate (which is a republican in my state and I am slightly left of them) and a skeptic you would only be ostracized for thinking anything but what Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren preaches. No one likes someone who questions everything because they see politics as akin to faith.

This propensity to ostracize people only pushes them further away from center because they will only discuss things with people who won't shame them and of course that will be online.

Now I work at a financial firm and we have a lot of liberals and republicans and they are all willing to speak their mind because politics here has nothing to do with who your friends are.

You have conveniently ignored the recent terroism and murders by left wing activists.
Not legitimate fact.
I've tried to like Haskell, but when simple tasks start to look like complicated puzzles with many possible solutions, I get really put off. I want to get stuff done, not feel clever for managing to contort my algorithm into a different form whose runtime performance I'm uncertain of, all done merely in the name of avoiding a for loop.
I don't know who you are talking about, so I can only work from my own interpretation, but there are all kinds of reasons you might want to do something in secret, even if it does not involve killing all humans.

For example, if you want to replace all human labor by robots, a lot of people would be against that, because they fear being unemployed. But if you don't intend to leave those unemployed people without food and shelter, I don't see anything wrong with still pursuing that goal.

You'd be surprised how incredibly pervasive such views are with the Chinese and also with Chinese emigrants. Being exposed to state media for two decades will do funny stuff to your head it is not that you then move to the West and suddenly you see clearly. I know a few people who went this route and we can talk about many things but some bits are remarkably resilient in the face of having access to more facts.

I'm sure there are people that fit your description but unless you have proof I don't think you should make such accusations.
Let's not forget that Obama immediately used the Dallas shootings as an opportunity to aggrandize gun control at the same time. During his Paris release he also said:

"We also know when people are armed with powerful weapons, unfortunately, it makes attacks like these more deadly and more tragic, [...] In the days ahead, we will have to consider those realities as well. In the meantime, today, our focus is on the victims and their families."

I don't know if that's something I would consider to be in the wheelhouse of what the president should do, as it reads like exploitative base rallying to me, which is something I've accused Trump of as well. I get it, never waste a good tragedy and all that, but it seems modern presidents are far too open about using tragedy to push an agenda.
I have no experience with rust so I can not elaborate on that, but I find harder to debug a multi-threaded C++ application where race condition and memory corruption is possible than a python one. That difficulty has an impact on average daily productivity on LOC.

Not necessarily. He just has to believe that the return on his investment will be greater (financially, in good will, in results) than the same money would be in Microsoft.

How is that different?

If he expects to get a greater return elsewhere, that's because the upside of Microsoft is limited enough, over the time horizon he's concerned about.

No, I'm dismissing it based on content. And the war didn't "happen", it was all actions of people. One element of it was Colin Powell sweating as he made his bullshit WMD presentation in front of the UN. Anyone with half a brain and half a gut would have seen all that crap for what it is.

I take that back; Kasich was the most moderate. He also had very little charisma, unfortunately. He could have been a perfect VP for this administration if the two could get along.

Trump was typically more moderate on the economy and tax policy, abortion, military. His stance on immigration is the more conservative than the rest. Rubio and most of the rest were very strict on abortion, had typical Republican ideas on tax, support interventionist military campaigns, but had varying but less conservative stances on immigration. Although Trump's behavior was boorish and comedic at times, that appeals to Americans and gets you media exposure. Just like the coolness of Obama and Bill Clinton.

If the DNC didn't engage in shenanigans, wouldn't the Democratic demagogue have had a much better chance at winning than Hillary?
