Part of it is that Nazis and Communists (with a capital C, usually taken to be communism in the Chinese/Korean/Soviet sense) fit the "bad guys" archetype in American media (or - more precisely - said archetype developed in response to them being our adversaries in WWII and the Cold War, respectively). Naturally, that means accusing someone of being a Nazi or Communist is an effortless way to paint that someone as a pure and classic villain.

Now we have people overtly and brazenly affiliating identifying as Nazis (usually citing The Bell Curve and other pseudoscientific racist drivel) and Communists (still with the capital C; they might claim to be lowercase-c communists or plain socialists, but it doesn't take long before "Stalin did nothing wrong" or "China's more ethical than the US" starts peeking through the façade). Both have always existed, of course (at least as long as those ideologies have existed), but nowadays folks are more open about their abhorrently-anti-democratic viewpoints (especially on the Internet, where they enjoy relative safety while simultaneously reaching worldwide audiences).
You can't homeschool social skills though.
It's going to be such a long slog until the election.

Already, there is an increase in the number of articles meant to subtly smear people. Call them racists, neo Nazis, extremists, etc. On the other side, photos of Antifa, anarchists and other extremists will be shown.

Please do your best to look for the truth. The vast, vast majority of people are good. (To be sure, there are some bad ones. But they do not dramatically increase in number as an election draws near!)

It is completely evil to sow the seeds of fear, doubt and hatred in this manner. Please look to the good in people. Turn away from the hatred.

Edit: I am in no way excusing neo Nazis, alt-right, alt-left, Antifa, etc.
I am saying that these nutballs are few and far in between. Almost everybody you meet out on the street today is going to be a decent person.
The far right has been a real blight on humanity in recent decades.
One of the most memorable eye-opening moments in my (admittedly fractured) education was when when my software engineering professor listed the 3 fundamental tenets of OO—inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism—and then asked us which one was optional.

Ever since then I've been on an anti-inheritance kick, although for the last several years it's polymorphed into an anti-OO kick.

Anyway, I suspect most readers here have heard the idea that inheritance should be used in limited circumstances (or not at all), but I wonder what proportion of college students get that message today.
I didn't hijack anything, I bring up RtR and privacy in response to the comment chain here saying "choose iOS, choose Apple, choose privacy". I directly address your post.

Now if you aimed your comment to be narrow then why broadly disregard the fact of Apple's ecosystem and related concerns as simply "supposedly" and freedom as "overrated"? There is nothing "supposed" about iOS being locked down, and "just find it on the App store" isn't viable alternative to the freedom Android offers. Neither is the contrast in the two platforms an "illusion" to merely adapt to.

> what choice is there out there if we want alternatives?

What Google does with Android remains a worry for the future, but the current-day choice simply from a matter of freedom and privacy is a LineageOS-supported device, preferably one requiring the least amount of blobs, alongside F-Droid. No Playstore and related frameworks installed. No accounts, no perpetual sign in and tracking, unlike Apple requiring you to be signed in with Apple ID even if you don't use their cloud services or just to install an app. If you must use apps that depend on Play Services, install MicroG and use Yalp. You have near full control of your device, which extends privacy since you can root, install low-level firewalls, and edit system-level files like hosts. Notice that this ecosystem is more Unix-like as opposed to just one big Apple ecosystem. You can decide yourself instead of Apple making choices for you.

With Apple, you only have one vendor, but with Android you have many choices you can make. Headphone jack? Too bad. Since iOS comes with Apple hardware, you have to discuss the two alongside each other. And for me, even ignoring the lock-down of iOS, I refuse to support Apple and vendor lock-in.

> For everybody else it's a huge security risk

Think-of-the-children fallacy. This always ignores the fact you can have the best of both - those none-the-wiser can continue using official means of installation. It also ignores the other side of the coin, developers wishing to offer programs but not interested in dealing with the Apple ecosystem - both them and users are out of luck in that case, and this can happen even if you're already on the app store if Apple decides to take down your app or developer account for whatever reason.
Ask HN: Why post titles are created as a question?
I'm aware I just did the same thing, but this is an example of what I'm about to explain. I would like to argue the reason articles have titles usually in the form of a question is mainly because of the laziness of the author. I want HN's feedback on this hence me posting this here.

If you think about it there is no reason for a title of an article to be a question. A question is typically directed toward a person who can answer that question. If a question is asked without the expectation of an answer why is it in the form of a question? (I just did that here by the way.) To raise curiosity could be one reason, but there is no one having a dialog so it seems wrong to me that a question is asked when in fact an assertion should be made.

Part of the reason I believe for why this is happening is because it may be fashionable to pose a question instead of making an assertion because it's indicative of not making assumptions and having an open mind. However, articles do make assumptions constantly and are in fact loaded with biases both unintentionally and on purpose. They try to persuade us by highlighting the information that is supportive of their final conclusion and omitting others that are not so much.

Finally the reasons may not be so nefarious as the picture I painted above, but perhaps at best just laziness.

Please let me know if this is what you think too or why I'm making a mistake.
My previous desktop had a floppy controller. I had a 5.25/3.5 combo drive in mine just because I could. Unfortunately my newest motherboard does not have a floppy controller.
The author addresses you pretty directly.

>There are some cases when a person really does want control. If the person wants to determine their own path, if having choice is itself a personal goal, then you need control. That’s a goal about who you are not just what you get. It’s worth identifying moments when this is important. But if a person does not pay attention to something then that person probably does not identify with the topic and is not seeking control over it. “Privacy advocates” pay attention to privacy, and attain a sense of identity from the very act of being mindful of their own privacy. Everyone else does not.

There are a few details Gosling left out: Sun trusted those chips enough to omit parity or ECC that would have smoked out the problem early, Sun reversed whatever growing trust it had been earning in enterprise space by blaming the customer and for some time making them sign NDAs to work on the problem, and Sun had engineered their sales so that they only did direct for enterprise sized purchases.

They had really good x86 hardware at a time when the post-dot.com crash wave of companies was getting started, but the sales channels were what you could charge on a credit card on their site, and VARs and the like which usually wouldn't sell to startups. Dell got a great deal of that business because they actually wanted to sell, and by the time these companies' hardware fleets got big enough for enterprise sized orders they'd long mastered how to run Dell or whatever systems to provide a reliable service.
The parent comment was not equivocating "KKK and anti-KKK", it was simply pointing out the false equivalence on that guy's T-shirt. All-caps claims that Trump, the KKK, and Fascism are equivalent is part of the problem and exacerbating tribalism.

The anti-Semitic terrorist in Powey wrote that he felt personally betrayed and furious at how friendly Trump is with Jewish people and his support for Israel. The media, and protestors, making such extreme claims aren't just misleading people who oppose bigotry, they are misleading people who support bigotry and making the conflict bigger and more confused than it otherwise would be.
You are right on the point about the list containing internal repression and incidents from before 1945, which should be discounted. I will not pull the list of post-1945 'interventions', but again we are in agreement that it is still a substantial list.

On your other point, I respectfully disagree.

Not sure why you are being downvoted, it's completely correct. Andrew Auernheimer (weev) says:

Look at the last few threads on this topic, you'll see the same pattern.
He is using the original meaning, which has since been hopelessly slandered by those who compete with the alt-right. This competition isn't just with the left; there is a fight for control of the republican party. (hence "alt", meaning neither the religious right nor the globalist libertarian right)

That original meaning may be a lost cause. The same happened to the word "hacker", though that seems to be recovering after a quarter century of having a criminal connotation. For years and years Richard Stallman would insist on the older meaning, while the general public mostly thought it only meant people writing computer viruses and invading mainframes.
Wages have been rising too, for the first time in many years.

This is truly a time of economic prosperity (at least in the US). It won't last forever. Make whatever moves you have available to you at this time to prepare for the times ahead.

Like the boom years of Reagan and Clinton, we'll all look back at this time later and say "What an opportunity!" Sadly, there inevitably will be a fall like 2000 or 2008 at some point to bring us back to earth.

Typing with Pleasure (A Study on Latency)
Some employers put a limit on how much you pay out of pocket, even below the maximum amount of pocket required by the ACA, almost, but not quite comparable to what you get in countries with socialized medicine or health insurance systems. They essentially assure that medical treatment can't bankrupt you.

Obviously, most people in the US don't have access to such a generous plan, or the amount of medical expenses they can tolerate without going into bankruptcy is below the legal out of pocket maximum (6k/yr individual, 12k/yr family). Hence the GoFundMe pages to raise money for medical treatment.
Well of course it is. And the system really put him through hell. He had to change schools, and lost all of his friends.

But you're being unfair to his parents. They did all they could to fight it. And they paid a lot to put him in private school.

Still, he did overreact. And he eventually agreed with his parents that he overreacted.
No need to imagine, here's a headline from late 2017:

Genuinely curious, why is this flagged?
This article sounds like a mother immersed in social media not parenting her child’s social media access. There is probably some level of gullibility and influence from each of their online habits.

I don’t have any sympathy for the problems here, and I can say that as a parent of two teenagers. Parent your damn children and stop relying on media to form your opinions for you. The cliche some of friends use to explain this failure is: You’ve made your bed, now sleep in it.
It's a sort of standard form for human interest articles. Much like a movie, it might be better if it were were more open-ended or reflected the untidiness of life, but many people want reassurance and a minimum of loose ends. The unusually young subject makes it more of a parenting article than a political study IMHO.
The damning thing is the alt-right is very occasionally right. This one stuck out at me:

> I trained myself to freeze my facial expression into something neutral so that when I countered Sam’s remarks—“Feminists keep divorced dads from seeing their kids” was a favorite—it would seem as if I’d actually considered his perspective.

A big chunk of the alt-right is precisely divorced dads drawn in, or people drawn to their stories, and the insane racist, sexist, and other baggage comes along. Much of the far-left is precisely people drawn to horror stories from LGBTQ members or African Americans who join a community and bring along similarly insane baggage for the ride.

I'm pretty convinced that unless the left manages to find a way to dive into alt-right ideology, with an open mind, and bring in the very few sane pieces, and change their opinions about the places that their reasoning is wrong, the alt-right will be able to keep recruiting.
You give way too much credit to users if you think they hover over links and users can’t hover over links on mobile devices.
That which is obviously true or obviously false needn't even be mentioned.

That which is secretly true must be contradicted constantly.

That which is secretly false must be affirmed constantly.
Given Docker's a packaging format (effectively) a packaging and distribution story that's at least on a par with Debian or Red Hat would be valuable. Instead of rediscovering packing and distribution from scratch and delivering complete sacks of shit like "30% of images on dockerhub have serious security vulnerabilities" or "whoops leaked our user credentials".
Thank you for listening! The original plan was insane. The new one is sane. As I pointed out here https://twitter.com/dvassallo/status/1125549694778691584 thousands of printed books had references to V1 S3 URLs. Breaking them would have been a huge loss. Thank you!
Check out the source of this article, electrek.co. It has lots of Tesla pieces, but they are all substantive. The reasons there are so many Tesla stories is that Tesla is doing lots of things, including lots of things no one else has done.
That persuasion happened thanks to his verbal communication, not his over-the-top rhetorically toxic T-shirt.
You're only narrowly escape being conflicted because you identify as an "OSS" developer rather than a "free software" developer. The term "open source" and its identification was basically crafted to avoid being conflicted this way.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....

> A pure open source enthusiast, one that is not at all influenced by the ideals of free software, will say, “I am surprised you were able to make the program work so well without using our development model, but you did. How can I get a copy?” This attitude will reward schemes that take away our freedom, leading to its loss.

> The free software activist will say, “Your program is very attractive, but I value my freedom more. So I reject your program. I will get my work done some other way, and support a project to develop a free replacement.” If we value our freedom, we can act to maintain and defend it.

Relying on Slack, Github and what have you is clearly not to "get my work done some other way, and support a project to develop a free replacement.” It aligns with attitude exemplified by the "pure open source enthusiast".

If you believe that amazon are potentially an adversary, but you still want to host it on their servers, there is essentially nothing you can do to stop them getting at your data. At some point, to process the data, you have to do that unencrypted. That is an unpluggable achilles heel.
It used to be that we recognized the fact that the feds had a very limited constitutional scope. That has been obliterated in the 20th century, with everything being justified under the necessary and proper clause and the commerce clause. A centralized bureaucracy has been gradually sapping the sovereignty of individuals, municipalities, and states; and replacing effective, local solutions with broad-brush national solutions that don't work for every one.

This also diminishes the ability of the individual to push for change: one man may convince enough people in a town to do something, but it is much harder for him to do so on a national level.
Well, congress can pass a law (as long as it's constitutional)!

The law that governs mushrooms is the Controlled Substances Act: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Substances_Act

This handles all sorts of controlled substances, like prescriptions, as well as illegal substances.

Now how does the federal government have control over this? It's probably related to how the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, who determine the different schedules of the substances) got started:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_Food_and_Drug_Act

And that is under the interstate commerce clause of the constitution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commerce_Clause

Also, since there are multiple international treaties involving drug control, that also puts it in the federal government's purview to regulate.
It's nice to see that instead of deprecation support for the old paths will continue for all buckets created on or before the cut-off date of Sept 30, 2020.

So if you don't want to change, you can continue using the old paths. Just might limit access to some new features coming later that are dependent on the virtual host sub domains.
I doubt there will ever be a clear answer on this. More likely, there will be a variety of factors.

That said, the "gateway drug" effect is real. It's been shown in many studies (although I'm not sure how many looked at shrooms as the gateway- usually it's weed). Likewise, we've probably all seen people drink ever-stronger drinks to get drunk/buzzed once their body because resistant to alcohol. Other drugs are no different, although I wager there are different types of people seeking different types of buzzes so I'm sure the distribution is not uniform.
This study has 11 participants each in the player and non-player groups. It seems...hard to draw a reliable conclusion from that.

1. Swarm lost, don't bother.

2. The interesting part of containers is the tooling people have built around them to make it easy to ship and run software stacks easily.

3. Building all this shit from primitives - downloading your own istio & k8s - is painful and will waste a lot of time and frustrate people.

Go get an opinionated k8s+containers solution that you can plumb into your dev tooling and will let you "commit code, spin up container fleet" easily, because that's the value: reliably increasing velocity.

OpenShift is one example I've worked with and like. There are others. Don't waste your time and money fucking around with individual bits of the stack.
I'd imagine there's a more direct financial incentive; if a student's parent(s) decide(s) to pull that student out of school because of a disagreement with the school's administration, then that directly leads to less money for the school.

Meanwhile, a public school doesn't have that direct penalty; if anything, it's just one less student in already-crowded classrooms, so pushing a student out might very well be a net positive.
What You Should Know About Megaprojects, and Why [pdf]
Typical architect opinion on a room. An entire article about household kitchens without a single mention of what they actually do: cook food.

Our kitchens have evolved with our foods. The 1950's taste for boiled whole vegetables and large roasts worked well in tiny kitchens. You didn't need much space for prep. The large and segmented cabinets organized everything out of sight because that made things look more clean.

Modern tastes require more prep space. More countertop for chopping vegetables. Enough room so you aren't slicing chicken breasts in the same area you are prepping the salad. Kitchens are also no longer the domain of the housewife. It is normal for multiple people to use a kitchen. So we need more space and better visibility. Cabinets have been replaced with shelves, or glass doors, because the person cooking is no longer always the person that does the shopping.

Stainless steel and better container tech means we are no longer ashamed of our kitchen utensils. We don't hide rusty pots or knives away in cabinets. We hang them proudly on hooks.
I don't think PragerU is fascist. I was thinking you can get from video games to PragerU in two hops like the parent comment mentioned. Maybe two hops from there you can get to fascist stuff

Keep in mind a lot of fascist stuff tries to brand itself as " a search for "inconvenient truths" and usually doesn't outright say "yes I want to support a white ethnostate and murder minorities by doing X/Y/Z".

To be fair to the poster you're replying to, I can assume a much more charitable interpretation is that the quote draws an equivalency between being against Trump and being against the KKK, and that's the over-zealous and tribal aspect.

It's similar to saying "No Bernie, No Marx." Yes, they're on the same side of the spectrum compared to center, but it seems unfair and disingenuous to combine them as such.
