This reeks of both-sides-ism and enablement.

The whole point of Free Speech is to enable all sides of any issue to have their say. That is a fundamental mechanism against totalitarianism.

In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.

Sorry, but Karl Popper's idea is just Orwellian nightmare fuel. "War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength."

Tolerance is to live and let live. Oppressing those you disagree with is the very opposite of tolerance. (Even if they are truly horrible people.) If Silicon Valley were tolerant, they'd let Gab live and possibly be a cesspit of horribleness. A society that de-platforms and un-persons everyone and every idea it doesn't like isn't a free society. That's not a free market of ideas. That's totalitarianism through economic hegemony.
I have ran fedora on a system76 machine with zero issues, but the machine is almost 2 years old now , and a pretty no frills intel laptop so who knows
For example here is how to get Ubuntu linux to boot on an 8-bit AVR ATmega1284p, by emulating ARMv5

That's awesome, even if it takes 3 hours to boot. :-P Almost everything can be considered a Turing machine if you're patient enough.

How to Build a Business That Can Run Without You
They're not, but they can cause depression and/or anxiety. Also, euphoria, agitation, et. al. In one person I noticed that she had developed terrible memory problems. She used to be an academic, but there's no way she could function in an academic environment now.

The most pernicious side effects-- in my opinion-- that have fairly scary mental health ramifications are hyperalgesia [1] and uncontrollable itching [2].

I saw a girl afflicted by hyperalgesia and the itching and it was terrible. The solution was to take her off of the morphine, but she wouldn't consider it. Paradoxically, she resorted to self harm to control the issue. Unfortunately, I don't know how the story ended. The last I heard a dermatologist was talking about THC creams being investigated for this type of thing. But I have no knowledge of that. I only mention it because it sounds intriguing.

Note: I'm not a doctor. I work in the US government and my job gives me a lot of experience working with pain management doctors and their patients.

Why do they have Pop OS? It's a lot of work building and maintaining a distro and there are tons already. Does it do anything really different?
Define intolerance. That's the whole problem

No comrade. You are missing the point. Only our intolerance is in the service of tolerance. Only our intolerance is good and will bring about the worker's paradise. Their intolerance is bad. In fact, those who tolerate the wrong people are intolerant, and therefore we must be intolerant to them to make the world more tolerant.

Also: Our potassium is superior.

Also: War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. -- George Orwell
Nobody has lost their first amendment rights and the person you're replying to hasn't made such an argument at all - your paraphrase is just putting words in their mouth. That's a cheap and poopy thing to do.
It's definitely concerning, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be released. It's the sort of drug that will find an appropriate use, though pretty much only in edge cases.
Neat to see this idea play out.
This is largely the truth and the scary part about it all. Incompetence abounds more than we would ever want to know, but often it's not just incompetence.

I often think of William Binney's thinthread program, designed to protect Americans privacy while still performing the core node taps at a handful of millions cost. It was scrapped for a program that cost billions, didn't protect Americans privacy, and lost the real intel in the increased haystack size...

That's not incompetence. That's kickback cruft to good old boys literally weakening national security for more money. There is a reason certain counties in Virginia have the largest growth of millionaires in America since 9/11.
which is all very well, except we're talking about deplatforming entire online communities, not merely individuals.
If you're looking for the most intolerant, then look to the side that makes the accusations, does the screeching, does the un-personing and de-platforming, and either calls for violence against its enemies, enacts it, or tacitly accepts it.

If you want to find the tolerant, find those who advocate for free speech and those who want to engage and make their arguments. That's the side which has learned the value of tolerance, because they're on their back foot.
Home ownership is only a good investment if the system is broken.
If the west don't develop autonomous killer robots, China, Russia, and others still will.

For all of our flaws I'd still rather that our military was on an even footing with theirs. And I can't see how autonomous killer robots won't simply be better at warfare than non-autonomous machines.
This reeks of both-sides-ism and enablement

It's funny you take this view, as fatigued as I imagine you probably feel about, as you're calling it "both-sides-ism"-I like to imagine there are probably other people out there just as fatigued with watching "both sides" act like neither has some kind of fringe-manifested baggage or serious, fundamental issues that need to be brought to the table and reconciled.

Hate to break this to you: there's some ugly problems with how we're talking about issues coming from all over the place. No one is coming to the table here with clean hands, as far as I'm concerned.

Some ugly words and tactics being hurled like hand grenades. They're probably not the same, they probably don't exist for the same reasons, nor have the same motivating factors behind them, but there has got to be some kind of decongestant for this idea that polarizing and hurtful speech only comes from one ideological hemisphere. I don't know what it is, but I hope we find one.
What you are proposing sounds a lot like the concept of the least publishable unit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_publishable_unit
Since the module has both RAM and Optane storage on it, and only the Optane storage is non-volatile, all memory writes would have to be written to the Optane storage instead of the RAM before they could be treated as complete. This would probably be significantly slower and would somewhat restrict how cleverly the device could manage the RAM/Optane resources. (For example, with the current architecture, if a memory region is being repeatedly rewritten, it can just keep it on the RAM and not touch the backing Optane storage.)

It's also unlikely that this feature would be deemed useful given that they already provide the App Direct interface; for a server (which appears to be the intended market), if you've removed power from the memory, you're probably intentionally rebooting the server and would prefer that it reboot cleanly rather than have the random contents of the previous boot in memory.
China used Huawei to hack network, says secret report
Linux is a fairly well-recognized name by this point, but what recognition it does have tends to have "technical" associations.

If I suggest running Linux to some of my friends, they'll immediately disregard it as something they wouldn't be able to use, possibly because they know I run it and associate it with being a techie. I suspect I would get a very different reaction if I showed them something like elementary OS without even mentioning the word Linux.

When GNOME 3 came out, it felt like they had this vision of a Better way to Do Things and didn't see why all their users wouldn't be excited to change their workflow. How they responded to criticism definitely makes sense given those thoughts about Identity.
A single neutrino passing through a light year of solid lead has only about a 50% chance of actually interacting with it.

Also, you'll need the neutrinos to start out at rest; they tend to travel near the speed of light.

> Most successful deplatformings are Pyrrhic victories

We have reasonable (not perfect!) empirical evidence that this is not the case[1]. It appears that toxic and hateful movements can only resist disapprobation when they develop a sufficiently large, sufficiently public (in the visibility sense, not the publicly-owned sense) channel. Continually disrupting those channels works.

You're right. Ubuntu warty shipped with libqt3. However if you remember back when, there was still an axe hanging over the KDE team in the form of Trolltech. The fear was that if Qt free stopped existing one day (or if Trolltech wanted to stop licensing as GPL), the community would be up a creek.

The clarifying agreement: (https://dot.kde.org/2004/07/24/trolltech-and-kde-free-qt-fou...) finally fixed things in a way to where if Trolltech got bought out or stopped releasing the free version, it would immediately become BSD licensed. This agreement still exists to day as far as I know.

As far as I remember discussions going back then, people did not trust Trolltech much, and knew the license situation was "weird" - even after the GPL licensing. I don't have anything I can cite specifically, only old discussions that I vaguely remember.
As far as I can tell, the open source parts are simply the case design and this "IO daughterboard" which looks like an AVR that talks USB to the mainboard for interfacing with the fans/lights/switches with a couple of extra SAS ports thrown in.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great they made a cool looking case and threw an AVR in there for controlling the fans, and if I wanted to buy a new desktop, I'd seriously consider one of these...

...but open source hardware it is not... and the claim about it being manufactured in Colorado seems a bit specious. Maybe they're milling the cases in Colorado and installing the parts? The real parts that do the computer part seem to be the same as the real parts in any PC.
Nobody has lost their first amendment rights

That's just what Universities say when they create protest zones where no one can see the protest. That's what Universities say when they slap outrageous fees and fines on groups who invite speakers they don't like. Technically, they're correct, but in the spirit of the law, suppressing speech is what they are seeking to do.

the person you're replying to hasn't made such an argument at all

The person I'm replying to is advocating for the practical loss of free speech, while it's not technically a violation of the law. I'm merely pointing out that sneaky indirection.
But if you just hold out a ball and drop it, it won't look the same in reverse.
I don't think it is all rotten to the core. I think it is a human establishment trying to do something very complicated with varying results. Sometimes they get things right and sometimes they make mistakes and sometimes they are infiltrated by bad actors.

What I try to do when reading academic papers is, if there are multiple on the same topic, read them and try to understand the differences. If different papers come to the same conclusion, that should make you a lot more confident in the result. If there aren't many papers on the subject then you just need to understand that this is kind of a "best effort" thing that is more likely to be true than a random guess, but not certainly accurate.
I have serious health issues. I've gradually gotten healthier, in part because I am skeptical of a lot of studies. I know how borked so many of them are, not a thing most people want to hear me assert. I get a metric fuck ton of flack over my skepticism.

I kind of have a mental box where I squirrel away little tidbits that meet two criteria: 1. They seem to come from rigorous studies and 2. They also fit with my general understanding of how life works.

Over time, I mentally group things -- a la A and B seem related -- without assuming that I know how they relate. I seem to have an inordinately high tolerance for ambiguity.

Most people seem to need An Answer even if it's wrong. They have two categories -- black and white -- and when presented with purple or pink or blue, they force fit it to one of their existing categories and don't confuse them with the facts.

I wasn't trying to prove anything to anyone. I was just trying to deal with my life. But having gotten substantially healthier, I now wonder how to talk about such. It seems a wasted opportunity for the world for me to not share, but the world has treated me pretty horribly and done all in its power to tell me to STFU, I'm just crazy and spouting nonsense.

So I sometimes think I should write what I understand to be true and then carefully back it up with citations to try to support it. Then I read articles like this, throw my hands in the air and go "Why bother?"

The way I have been treated seems particularly unfair when you learn how much "real scientists" cook the books. Like why? It feels like pure prejudice when I read things like this.
It can be when borrowing terms are artificially loose.

Imagine a world in which you can get a zero-ish percent interest-only loan. The "value" can keep going up even though the monthly cost remains low until the end of the term at which point you sell to someone else for even more money at a zero-ish percent rate.
You do not know what you are talking about. It is very clear (based on the above statements) that you have minimal, if zero real computer science education. Please stop commenting on things that you know nothing about. Not having generics / sum types, etc., do not disqualify Go, as those are merely semantic conveniences in other languages. Additionally, from real world experience (~6 years developing major systems with Go), I can attest that none of those features are necessary for a language, and actually their presence in a language would cause me to reevaluate said programming language. Go is a breath of fresh air that is badly needed. Please stop with un- or ill- informed FUD.
My friend would have paid $40,000 more in taxes this year if he didn't have an a single family rental to depreciate, so perhaps gains vs inflation isn't as straightforward a measuring stick as you would assume.
Let's be honest here. Everybody familiar with System76 (slight exaggeration, but mostly correct) is somebody looking outside the box. There's a good chance they already use Linux and understand Pop is just a customized distro. These systems are largely marketed to the power user who doesn't want to build their own PC. In other words, someone who wants to pay a fair price for a good Linux laptop with functioning hardware and a company to support it. They know it won't have bleeding edge performance, but should have good performance. They are comfortable with computers and probably know Windows and a few Linux distros like Ubuntu, RHEL, Arch...etc.

For awhile, the Soviets could "deplatform" people from their lives entirely by threatening them or sending them to the Gulags. They held things together for many decades through that continual disruption.

Yes, you can coerce people with your advantages, and it will work for awhile. You can even create enclaves where you can keep undesirables out. But no, that never wins in the end.

You are free to make whatever argument you want - what you can't do is deliberately misrepresent the other person's argument, which is what you are doing. HN even has a weird rule about that involving quotation marks. There's no 'technically' about this, you're doing it, it's bad and you shouldn't.

Yes, you definitely don't want a bluetooth combo. Also, you don't want to buy the 100W version that combines two TPA3116 chips. These models are using a special sync pin/line, but when I bought this model, the manufacturers screwed up the design, it doesn't sync properly, and it's super noisy.

Not really CSS in js is basically applying styles directly to an element, this one declares a small style sheet upfront and classes on elements are looked up to get style information.

Css in js is very efficient if you don’t need any css inheritance. Tailwind is just inefficient for the browser to do all those lookups to resolve the final style bag.

I’m not sure why I would ever use tailwind. It’s yet another archaic syntax I have to keep in my head.

this is the perfect case of how legitimate grievances are derailed by bad actors... The problem is that these sorts of arguments strip context entirely away

If you want to figure out the villains, look for the side that is trying to strip the context away and screeching while holding to absolutes. Beware: villains often use the language of the noblest causes, and sometimes people become villains in the pursuit of noble causes.

The major flaw I see in this analysis is believing the only way to build wealth by "investing" in home-ownership is increasing property values. It completely ignores the equity one builds while paying down a mortgage. If one intends on staying put for a while (even just a couple-few years in some cases) then one can build wealth through home ownership without runaway property valuation. Money is "lost" on interest payments, but if you are leasing a home, you're paying someone else's mortgage and interest[0].

So what's a good investment?

The stock market? But I'm not exactly providing any value when I invest in a stock as my money doesn't go to any company that needs funding.

Bitcoin? But that wastes energy and again, doesn't provide much value to society, if any.

Gold? But again that doesn't seem to provide much value to society.

Real estate seems to be the only venue where I can make a return on my value, and provide some value to people.

And now, some people want to take that away.

It will! Imagine the ball right before it hits the ground: it will have a large downward velocity. Reverse time and the ball acquires an upwards velocity, that slows as it reaches your hand, exactly as if it's accelerating towards the earth.

If you know some calculus, observe that Newtonian gravity is coupled to acceleration but NOT velocity:

d^2 x / dt^2 = a = g

Now run time backwards: let dt be negative. This doesn't change a, because dt is squared and squaring a negative is still positive. The acceleration is independent of the direction of time.

To show this isn't just mathematical hand-waving: consider a magnetic field. This does couple to velocity. Reverse time, and the magnetic field pushes the other way. Electromagnetism is not time symmetric, it's time ANTI-symmetric. Gravity is different from EM in this respect.
Most points also apply equally to the Australian housing crisis in Sydney and Melbourne. No mortgage interest tax deduction here for home owners, although there is for investors, among various other incentives.

By the way, the determinant of a matrix is just the outermorphism of the associated linear transformation applied to a unit pseudoscalar.

The outermorphism of a linear transformation is a useful and convenient (but sometimes tricky) concept. It gives you not only determinants, but also the application of your linear transformation to arbitrary multivectors.
