You aren't missing anything. Calling the NRA a terrorist organization is beyond absurd.
Why is React doing this?
I think you are looking for sense where there isn’t any.
However, I think the article has the best representation of the argument:
> Ms. Stefani referred to the federal Justice Department’s definition of terrorist activity, which involves the use of a firearm, weapon or dangerous device to endanger the safety of individuals. The definition also includes members of organizations that provide funds, weapons or training to individuals who commit terrorist acts.
I don’t think one can find the NRA ever advocating for the use of guns to harm innocent individuals. However, it would seem as if we’ve crossed a threshold where the mere existence of guns is seen as a threat, therefore anyone that advocates for gun ownership (or possesses one) is a threat.
Semiautomatic rifles are, generally speaking, legal to own in California. They're also responsible for only a tiny fraction of all gun crime committed in the state.

Only semiautomatic rifles with particular combinations of ergonomic features (pistol grip, folding stock, etc.) are illegal. The shooter's WASR fell under this category. The shooter's high-capacity magazines were also illegal in California.

The idea of Six Sigma never made sense to me. I read a book on it, and it basically said that you should optimize a business so that mistakes are extremely rare (the six sigma refers to that point on a N(0,1) gaussian cdf).

The idea that you should try to avoid making mistakes seems like a good one, but also is rather obvious, and the right threshold is also obviously problem dependent.

I suppose the idea is kind of fluff, but of all the fluffy ideas out there, trying to be reliable and dependable is probably one of the better ones.
It applies to “the people”. I believe the current legal interpretation in vigueur is in the area of “because a well regulated militia is necessary, ...”
Yup, I agree. If there was a heavy penalty on the business/financial level(not just on the software level), businesses would take things like software testing, proper timeline management and rigorous specifications more seriously.

Unfortunately, that's not the case. So most business just bulldoze their way to their primary objective.
You would think with all the protests in hong kong against an authoritarian government that they would value their 2nd amendment rights.

All you have to do is browse hn once in awhile to see several articles about the US gov't brazenly breaking our constitutional rights.
In this case the removal is referring to the removal of the right. So, red flag laws do not require time to remove your right to own guns while they do require time to restore your right.
The study groups vegetarians with vegans. The name is similar but the implications are very different. A vegetarian may consume, depending on the type, eggs, milk products and honey. Those are very consequential choices compared to omitting them. It would have been a better study to separate these two groups, and even better to separate vegans, lacto-vegetarians, ovo-vegetarians, and lacto-ovo-vegetarians.
From the mother, for example.
Maybe the silliness of your argument can be highlighted with a small modification:

> How awful of the Confederacy to fight for a right to slaves.

Societies change and evolve. The desperate clinging to ancient, outdated concepts won't hinder that progress.
As I said, whatever the reason, there are less accidents with Autopilot, than without. Autopilot is a convenience feature.

The question is: Are you willing to accept only 33% less likely hood of an accident with autopilot engaged as compared to when you drive on your own in not Autopilot safe conditions?

Do you use Uber knowing that their average driver will be ... well ... average, or just somewhat better than average? Knowing that the average driver baseline is 500 000 miles per accident?

It’s a fair point but the 1st amendment is also under pressure from the same people.
>Just because it's a right doesn't mean it needs an organization to advocate it

5.5 million members of the NRA would seem to disagree with you, as is their right.
The second amendment is much more ridiculous than this
You can't manage a project if you have no idea about the effort and risk associated with each piece of work. A typical job for a PM is to negotiate solutions with a customer, in that case they need to estimate work items relatively accurately in real time to do a good job. Non technical PM's will either make up bullshit estimates and then pressure their developers to follow through or they will be very bad at fulfilling customer needs since they constantly need to verify everything with the devs.
> So no personal computer should ever be used since you have to reboot to receive security patches.

Nope. Try reading my comments again. The base system has to be rebooted when receiving updates. Personal computers, just like Android devices, do not need to reboot when updating the web browser or a messaging app. iOS is so poorly architected that it cannot do this.

It's interesting to see how slowly we are all catching up to what is going on behind the scenes, and how we all struggle to come to terms with the implications.
The issue with this argument is that "militia" had a different meaning when the Bill of Rights was ratified. Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1811: “[T]he militia of the State, that is to say, of every man in it able to bear arms.”
How to Ask Good Questions
I love the fact that it took them 10 minutes to first respond to the incident, and cut-off the account in under 30 minutes from the first sign something was wrong
What about their TV channel? [0]

"Since its creation in 2016, it has adopted an increasingly apocalyptic, hard-right tone, warning of race wars, describing Barack Obama as a “fresh-faced flower-child president,” calling for a march on the Federal Bureau of Investigation and comparing journalists to rodents."

"Chuck Holton, an NRATV correspondent, attributed terrorist activity in Europe to “the broader problem of multiculturalism and socialism” and to “gender-bending.” He also claimed that left-wing groups, the billionaire George Soros and the Venezuelan government were trying “to influence the 2018 midterms by sending Honduran migrants north in the thousands.”

Too bad people who don't follow the law won't respect the gun bans like law abiding citizens...

Also in the news, Social Credit Red Flag Laws based on speech...

Surely these laws will be applied evenly to all people & not used to suppress anybody like what has happened repeatedly throughout history. It's different this time, right?

Enjoy the dystopia folks!
First they came for the gambling addicts, and so on.
You don't really have the right to smoke. It's just not fully illegal (yet).
Labeling a political advocacy group a "terrorist organization" is a ridiculous affront to democratic ideals, yes. It also goes against the US's constitutional bill of rights which enshrines as sacrosanct the right to peaceably assemble and express and advocate for political viewpoints without limitation.

I personally disagree very much with the politics of the NRA. But I staunchly defend their right to exist and advocate for their views. Because human history, and especially that of the 20th century shows that gagging political viewpoints when it is convenient is a road that leads towards autocracy.

"First they came for the NRA, but I didn't speak up because I am pro gun-control. Then they came for the alt-right, but I didn't speak up because I am not a Nazi. Then they came for the global warming deniers, but I didn't speak up because I was not a climate skeptic. Then they came for ___________, and there was no one to speak for me." (Fill in the blank with your own preferred political group.)

Using the gag on political speach of any kind is dangerous because the winds of change are unpredictable and power to silence political opposition is corrupting. Is unrestricted gun ownership that the NRA advocates for a bad idea? Yes. But people MUST be allowed to form political organizations to advocate for bad ideas, because the alternative is that someone is given the authority to decide which ideas are bad and therefore marginalized. And allowing that is a very, very bad idea.
If I gave the impression I was a unicode expert, that was a mistake. I have only done some reading.

But from that limited position, such characters are just numbers in the unicode spec.

If the appropriate font is installed on the document creators' and document readers' machines, it will render just like any other character such as the unicode you're reading here. If the font isn't present you'll probably get the number printed \u12345 or something similar.

But I am not an expert and if one wants to chime in here, please do.
I still keep the original version. I bought this book with very little money in 2001. Back then not many book covered algorithms.

I can hardly remember from todays perspective how it was looking after some code snippets in books without google, github, stackoverflow, strg+f.
Which is understandable when you consider there were "highwaymen" in the 1600s when the highways had nothing faster than a horse.

Well then they should move to Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba, or one of the dozens of other countries where free speech is not a priority instead of trying to destroy one of the last places in the world that is.
I don't live in the US, and the consequences of this aren't 100% clear to me, but am I correct in assuming

- Members of the NRA are now 'domestic terrorists', i.e. when entering the US they have to tick the "I'm a terrorist" box?

- Donating to the NRA can be considered financing terrorism?

I'm not a big fan of private gun ownership, but if these interpretations are accurate, this move seems pretty excessive.
This page uses a lot of words to explain almost nothing, the linked “introduction” page is similar.

Persist – A New Data Behavior?
Not to disagree with your experience, but to clarify. Postnatal checks by the doctor may be performed up to 72 hours after birth [1]. The reason that the doctor might not be available, is because they may be attending a neonatal arrest call, which can require prolonged ventilatory assistance for the newborn by the doctor. In that setting, hospitals might want to make empty beds to enable more mothers to safely give birth in the hospital of their choice. In an ideal world, there would be more beds.

Finally, sorry to hear about your experience of tongue tie. This is also mentioned in link [1], so it's definitely not something that the 'NHS doesn't believe in'.

It was never interpreted by the supreme court to only apply to a well-regulated militia. At most, you could say the right was interpreted to only apply to guns used by a well-regulated militia in the 1930s. But before that there were no federal gun control laws, so the issue never came up.

> Especially considering they were neutral during WWII.

Neutrality is strongly in favor of Liechtenstein case here. Similarly to how when the neutral San Marino got bombed in WWII Italy was held liable for reparations.
True. In my haste, I neglected to mention that until recently the Netherlands has had one of stingiest paternity/partner leave policies in Europe. It used to be (roughly speaking) one or two days, as of this year it is one week, and next year it will become six weeks. Too late for me though! In my case, I saved up some of my holiday days to be able to take time off work (fortunately you tend to get a few months' warning before a baby appears in your life).
Labeling political enemies terrorists is actually a lot more ridiculous than this even if you think the second amendment is outdated.
In EU you've usually got an entire always empty "emergency stop" lane on the right side.
I hope you never wind up as the victim of a home invasion.
Nice work. I don’t know if I’m ahead of the curve but iBooks on iPadOS beta 13.1 comes up with a resource error for the ePub; don’t try this at home kids.

In my country the police cannot stop you on the highway. They have a sign at the back of the car saying "Follow me" and stop at the nearest parking. The speed limit is 140km/h.

I guess it's a bit safer when the speed limit in Australia is 110km/h

This. There are already complaints about the cost of USB 3.2 hardware, because measurably charging a hunk of metal gets a lot harder at high frequencies. They had to get more precise and then start borrowing tricks from SATA and PCIe.

A 6502 could go up to 3 MHz, but I think the C=64 ran its 6510 near 1 MHz because a clock divider was reserving half the bus cycles for the video chip (no dual-ported VRAM). With dies too small for cache, it didn't make sense to make anything faster than fetching instructions from RAM or ROM. Even the Cray-1 was only able to run at 80 MHz (12.5 ns/cycle) because they paid for four banks of 50 ns RAM. And at those speeds, you could just glue straight wires together into a ribbon cable and call it a day.
You're saying phonology is the new phrenology?

Jokes aside, I agree that estimating the average absolute information content of a syllable seems pretty absurd.

However, if the primary goal here was to determine whether some languages convey more information per unit time than other languages, I think the authors did fine. To this end, they needn't define information per syllable in anything other than p.d.u. - procedurally defined units. If average Vietnamese speech has 2x the number of syllables/min as German, but it takes the same amount of time to recite War and Peace in both Vietnamese and German, it suggests that both languages convey the same high-level information 'per unit time', but not 'per syllable'.

And basically that's all they did... "We computed the ratio between the number of syllables [in the text passage] and the duration [it took to recite the passage]"
> This looks very much like something fishy going on. They call them "Bluebrixx-Specials" but they are clearly not original designs.

I'm with you on that, but can you really protect designs like these?

Obviously they are trying hard to sail around paying licensing fees which I can understand and don't really see a problem with.

Paying those licensing fees is mainly for marketing reasons and if you want to keep marketing costs low I see no problem in selling a "classical ambulance" instead of "Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters".
So let us say I go to some page which lists some "potentially well off" folks, like this one:

https://github.com/orgs/google/people

or this:

https://github.com/orgs/microsoft/people

or even this :-)

https://github.com/orgs/facebook/people

Given GitHub actually even provides a convenient, public, unauthenticated API, it makes it even more easy:

https://api.github.com/orgs/facebook/public_members

And then I match it with their personal phone numbers in the dataset (apparently its now offline, but maybe another one will reappear at some point).

And then I can just call these phone numbers and sell them stuff? And its perfectly OK because even if a dataset like this goes into the wild it acts as nothing more than "just a phone book"?

I don't believe a city (or even county) view of who's a terrorist has any relevance to federal procedures.
I seem to recall (correct me if I'm wrong) that European courts ruled that “agreeing” to a very-long EULA for desktop software didn't constitute informed consent, because it's trivial to demonstrate that the users didn't actually read the entire agreement — even if they scrolled to the end, it's unreasonable to believe that most people read 10,000 words in 15 seconds.

So I assume that eventually these performances of consent-gathering will be legally judged meaningless.
Anti-NRA people would say that they are lobbyists for the gun industry, they are extreme, they don't compromise, etc. But really they just disagree with their viewpoint.
Well I am salty. And I can't stand what how consumerist LEGO has become. Plus I don't like evangelists. Instead of allowing kids to figure out the value of something themselves, they fill their heads with bullet points about what they are supposed to like about a product.

The Android Arsenal – Wils0n28 Profile
I think you are giving people too much credit. I feel like most of the time the mental model only comes after the fact, in an attemp to rationalize whatever ridiculous things people do.

Look at people who flock to homeopathy, or those who buy "water vitalisation" devices, or other ridiculous gimmicks. There's no rational reason why people would come up with ridiculous things like that. Unless you look at it from an evolutionary perspective. These ridiculous ideas are just people randomly exploring the search space, and natural selection picks the ones who got something right.
Well, to me they don't look as if they'd like to be like WhatsApp. The product mustn't be finished yet and this is probably just some info to atract possible users, programmers and people who'd like to contribute. You can subscribe to their newsletter anyways (if that's what you want)

It's good for Amazon, but is it good for consumers? Isn't a postal service something of a natural monopoly — the more competing services there are, the less efficient each is, because instead of one vehicle with one load of deliveries, you have two or more vehicles with fractions of that amount?

It's certainly not good for the environment at least.

Could be. I'm not an expert (I haven't even looked up the statistics), and I suspect that neither was the person who I heard crediting the kraamzorg system for the low infant mortality rate.

I certainly get the impression that giving birth at home is quite 'trendy' here, but my wife and I decided that there was no way that we were going to opt for that. My wife would much rather give birth in a building full of experts and specialised equipment than in the "relaxed, familiar atmosphere" of home.

>However, it would seem as if we’ve crossed a threshold where the mere existence of guns is seen as a threat, therefore anyone that advocates for gun ownership (or possesses one) is a threat.

No offense but this is cowardly, and frankly, bad reasoning. First, guns kill fewer people than speeding, alcohol or junk food. So no we have't crossed some threshold.

Second, you are just rationalizing the criminalization of anyone who disagrees with you on public policy.

A facist would say "I don't think I've ever seen the democrats advocating for islamic terrorism. However, it would seem as if we've crossed a threshold were the mere existence of muslim immigrants is seen as a thread, therefore anyone that advocates for muslim immigration is a a threat. Therefore, I'm banning the democratic party from the next elections on the basis of being a terrorst group."
