I am not in the mind changing business, and I say that from humility. I wish I was, but I’m just not that great at it.

My life has gotten a million times better from listening to and reading stuff specifically from Scott Adams, and Jordan Peterson. Adams for reshaping the reality tunnel and Peterson for getting me to focus on what I can control.

For what you’re saying, Scott Adams kinda saved my sanity.

After the 2016 election I was having a nervous breakdown. I couldn’t understand what the hell happened. I was depressed and freaking out.

I started googling and found out that Peter Thiel and Scott Adams supported Trump. This blew my mind, because Thiel seems fairly bright, and Adams I figured must not be completely stupid because he wrote a successful comic strip, which is harder than you might think.

I read a few Adams blog posts, one of them called ‘deprogramming a Clinton supporter’ or something. It was like reading some crazy alternate reality and it made me angry. How could he be saying I was brainwashed!!

I kept an open mind though, because he made a good point, that the law of large numbers dictate that if 50 million people disagree with me, statistically at least one of them must be smarter, more knowledgeable, and more moral than I am.

But they could still be wrong.

However, over time, I started to see his position, about how it is indisputable that we cannot perceive reality directly, that we each filter it. This is fact.

Then he goes on to show that if what you have is a filter, you should evaluate the filter for two criteria: how well it predicts the future (accuracy) and how happy it makes you.

Over time I started to see how the facts for what you are saying aren’t fully in evidence. Or rather, there are some contradictory observations, that are worth examining.

I can’t do justice to the ideas of the people I am referencing. I am concerned that even by typing them here I am doing more harm than good, because my paraphrasing may make you reject them without investigation.

All I can say is I think it is worth it to look for a variety of viewpoints, and if you give those two a try, it could reshape your relationship to world events in a positive way so you can feel confident you are contributing to making the world better, rather than powerlessly suffering under tragedy.

1. Most Americans use at least one of the "big 3" and since they all suffer from the same bias, I call it monopolistic.

2. Yes, I think this website (the users who react to the more political posts at
least) penalize conservative views. It's not unique to HN of course, if anything it's better than the rest, but it's pretty obvious yes.

3. You compare some personalities that only reach those who are interested in what they have to say with big corps that are unavoidable on the internet and that editorialize every piece of information we're getting, from our news, the video we watch etc.

Plus there's really no evidence that the best & brightest in Hong Kong can do anything to scratch the surface of changing China. They were largely free - acting as a demonstration of a working system for the mainland - the past two decades and it made no difference. So now they're going to make a difference once their rights are revoked and they're entirely silenced? Of course not, they're going to vanish into the crowd of the other 1.4 billion silenced persons with no ability to speak out.

The best thing the US (Europe and others) can do, is bleed off Hong Kong's talent, those that want to escape before the door closes. It's not going to severely harm China, however every Elon Musk or Jensen Huang that the US can get to its shores is a win.

The US should immediately set up a special, aggressive immigration program just for Hong Kong and Taiwan. After China is done consolidating the situation in Hong Kong in the near future, they will turn more of their attention and aggression to Taiwan (Taiwan is aware they're up next after HK, you can tell by their recent behavior and statements; Taiwan is sweating bullets, properly so).
Well yeah, besides the people it happens to, it doesn't happen at all.
While it’s tempting, from a safety perspective, to implement something like this I think a system of “haves” and “have nots” based entirely on medical records is a recipe for disaster in the long-term.

The GP said "conservatives try to build their own platform (Gab)".

The parent said "If Gab is a conservative platform".

This is obviously a reasonable way to interpret the GP's sentence. You're also reasonable to disagree with that interpretation, but you're being unreasonably combative when you accuse the parent of putting words in the GP's mouth.
No, of course not.

But the viral nature of GPL and the notion of "derived works" may be of some use here.

The numbers are absolutely clear: if you’re under the age of 50, you are overwhelmingly likely to have nothing more than a minor illness. Over 30% of infections are estimated to be asymptomatic. In New York, over 90% of hospitalizations (in addition to being heavily skewed to the elderly) involved one or more comorbidities. Nearly 90% had two or more.

I feel like you're trying to be inflammatory just for the sake of it. There are good reasons why Poland and Polish people couldn't fight like Americans did against the British, it would turn into an essay if I wanted to list them all. But I think most importantly, that approach worked - we have harboured Polish culture wherever we could and now we're a major country of 50 million people.

Not to offend anyone, but Americans haven't really demonstrated any ability or will to fight for their rights as a nation in the past 100 years, this posturing I see all the time from Americans about freedom is like a peacock displaying its feathers, not having done anything to earn them - you were just born with them.
Wow, that's fantastic... one thing I noticed instantly is that (to me) the UI/UX is so intuitive. I use Audacity a lot, and the UI on that for core operations: zooming, unzooming, trimming, selecting... is so much more clunky (I can never figure out how to "unzoom") - it drives me mad every time.

This one one intuitive and natural. I'd have to evaluate how file system handling worked, but just based on the UI and snappiness - I'd use this over Audacity for any quick-n-dirty audio editing tasks. Really cool!
That's what they're doing right now, but they'll need to relax it for any hope of tourism.

Redhat helped the NSA make SELinux substantially easier for more people to use. Disclaimer: It's still not super easy to use. The implementation at the NSA did not have the concept of "unconfined" anything and they use MLS policies. At least, that was the intent. This may have changed with time and perhaps by now they are using Redhat's version of SELinux.
> Routers can do it, but it's hardware accelerated and won't generate packets at that speed

Yeah,

Are there any SBC with an off-CPU networking fibre/module?

What I am building are LTE enabled ethernet bridges.

The closest fits that I have found are router boards but most of them don't come with mini PCIe ports that I can connect LTE modems to.

There are a few proprietary router boards but I was thinking there could be other options - you would likely know!
This pops up occasionally on HN but I don't get it. Are you reading every line of every installation script you run normally? What about the things they download and execute? Are you never running a binary installer where you don't have access to the code?

Genuinely curious what the nightmare is.
This is great! When working with large files, I'd like zoom in/out to be a bit snappier. I'd also like right click -> zoom to selection.
I'm not convinced that it would actually help that? What % of the population needs it to gain herd immunity? Will older people chip in to contribute or only younger people? What risk is there to younger people in general? We already know there are long lasting effects possible and deaths are still possible.
Beware: micro sometimes inserts invisible characters into your files. I never figured out why, and it seemed to only be on Debian.

I lost 2 days to troubleshooting weird problems, until less revealed some configs had little droppings of random text sprinkled throughout. I opened them with micro and everything looked fine... then I opened them with nano and I could see and remove the extra characters.

Micro has a great user interface, really. I wish that I could use it, but I don't think it's wise and I will stick with standard nano for quick edits.

Having a project that I personally cared about.

In my case I wanted to text flight information to the family when one of us was traveling.

We were saving our flights in a google spreadsheet.

I hadn't coded anything beyond tutorials at this point, and had no real understanding of, well, anything.

It took me 6 months to write a script that would take data from the Google Sheet and use a free text api to send an SMS to 6 numbers.

I learned:

- APIs

- cron

- python scripting

- deploying to a server

Mind you, everything I learned, I've now learned a better way for. But at the time it was invaluable for confidence and building interest.

Good luck!

Not the original commenter but I am in the industry, and its true, many satellites shut down during this region over the South Atlantic.

For that reason, it is not a popular orbit unless there is a larger driver behind the selection. For example the ISS goes right through it in order to be above Russia for a reasonable portion of its orbit. I believe Astronauts have reported increases in optical flashes during this part of the orbit as more energetic particles pass through their eyes.
That is an overly simplistic analysis. The American colonies had strategic resources and positioning available to fight. Poland at the time did not.

Examine Hong Kong’s strategic resources at the moment and tell us how you would deploy them in a fight.

This has not been my personal experience when trying to contribute. Also, the founder and original users, in conversation, explicitly labeled it as a place for conservatives. Of course they are careful not to include such language in official user-facing copy.

> EOs tell the EXECUTIVE BRANCH how to enforce laws.

Yes, EOs tell executive branch officers what to do.

One of the things this EO tells certain executive branch officers to do is to tell the courts how to interpret Section 230 by way of adopting “clarifying” regulations.
Seems like kind of a meaningless gesture to pass in your own “this” just because you don’t like OOP. If you need a class, why not write it the idiomatic way?
Sure, and I think everyone's on the same page that you should be free to do that. The question is how the rest of us can best get back to a (mostly) normal life.
I think the answer to that is to slowly increase the dose over a number of sessions. Starting out with microdosing to get used to the body feeling, then getting used to visual disturbances and the altered mental state, and then graduating to a level that can unlock new perspectives on self and the world. This absolutely has to be done by a trained professional with personal experience with the substance and who has assisted with other guided sessions. It's not going to be a prescription that a doctor can throw at the patient and then check up on in a few weeks time.
I generally agree with your sentiment here, but be careful with assuming bash==bash

There are differences between versions. I can't even remember what they are off the top of my head like I used to, which makes them all the more aggravating to discover again.

But I would recommend sticking to a subset of bash, not any of the new fancy features like 'globstar' which allows recursively globbing.

There are tools to manage these kinds of tests, like bashenv. But you're in the same problem scope at that point.

> 0 is the set containing the empty set. 1 is the set containing 0 and the empty set. Etc. Perhaps the two symbols you are thinking of are equivalent to "{" and "}".

This is not the usual von Neumann encoding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_number#Von_Neumann_def...), so I think you may have started one level too encoded. The usual encoding puts 0 equal to the empty set, and n + 1 equal to the union of n (a set with n elements) and {n} (a singleton with 1 element).

In other words, if I understand the meaning of 'Etc.', your encoding puts

0 = {Ø}, 1 = {0, Ø} = {{Ø}, Ø}, 2 = {1, Ø} = {{{Ø}, Ø}, Ø}, …,

whereas the usual encoding puts

0 = Ø, 1 = 0 ∪ {0} = {Ø}, 2 = 1 ∪ {1} = {Ø, {Ø}}, ….

One advantage of this latter encoding is that the set n has n elements, and that the set n is n-times nested, in the sense that longest chain of elements x ∈ y ∈ z ∈ … ∈ n has length n. It also generalises nicely to ordinals (a transfinite generalization of the natural numbers), as explained in the above link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_number#Von_Neumann_def...).
In other words, it becomes the concern of the person shipping the code, rather than the concern of the person trying to run the code. That's exactly how it should be.
My workplace got burned recently using this tool for some deployment reasons . I have to be honest , my experience with it in other ways wasn’t ideal. I won’t be using it again.
"Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,"

> The 1st amendment isn't the issue here.

First amendment is the issue, what do you think "publisher" vs "platform" is about? It's about who should be sued for bad speech. What happens if FB is responsible for everything you say? More censorship. What happens if you are responsible for everything you say? Less disclosure.

Right now we have a situation where the platform owner can collect the fruits of popularity, while the platform users experience basically no-liability gossip. More speech, but are we healthier as a society for it? Maybe sometimes the answer isn't always making sure we have more free speech.

Also I'm not sure how lawsuits help out in the world of little people, because only big people can sue, and they only sue big targets.

Yes, that's true, but corona's are considered to be colds regardless. Covid-19 will certainly become "common" once most of the world has been exposed.

Just FYI, "common cold" is not meant to downplay the deadly effects, especially if you know the history of the cold. The mention of cold was to draw similarities in how it is transmitted (what the OP's question was about).

That’s interesting. I would have guessed something like an unsigned driver or malware. I don’t think just one device change would be enough to cause a reactivation, but maybe repeated ones. I’ve changed CPU, GPU, optical drives, RAM on a system with no reactivation. Motherboard seems more likely to trigger it, but that doesn’t seem likely in this case. More info would help, but in the meantime OP should scan for malware with RogueKiller or at least ADW Cleaner/Malwarebytes/ESET or another decent alternative.

> What makes you think the newer tools are better than pip and virtualenv?

I don't. Heck, maybe they are. I don't use them.

My point is that rather than being the beneficiary of Python's excellent abstraction powers, distribution et. al. is and has been a mess for decades.

Here's a history of the sordid mess starting from 1998: "The distutils-sig dicussion list was created to discuss the development of distutils." https://www.pypa.io/en/latest/history/

FWIW, Since pip and virtualenv became relatively stable and "blessed" and PyPI has matured the only new thing I've tried is Anaconda.

Unfortunately my main Python project right now uses Tkinter and the folks who make Anaconda have a circular dependency in their build system such that you need python to build Freetype so their Python/Tkinter/TCL/Tk has gruesomely-bad support for fonts, so my project looks like a potato. https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/6833 Someone has put in a PR to hopefully fix it, and-- ah! --it seems to have gotten some attention earlier today: https://github.com/conda-forge/tk-feedstock/pull/40 Fingers crossed for great good!

Anyhow, things are rough all over, eh?
This really shouldn't be downvoted. It's factually accurate that the vast majority of people who get this who are young and healthy do not experience even noteworthy symptoms. Stories of it being the worst illness people have ever experienced are likely to be cherrypicked, especially because most people who had the unremarkable symptoms won't even know it.

Acknowledging that most cases are minor and not that bad doesn't mean you have to run down the entire path of doubting the virus' threat.

> Writing C, you're constantly at risk of making these mistakes. Writing Rust, you can keep the vast majority of your code safe and more closely examine the smaller unsafe area for memory errors.

I think this is a fallacy...The majority of C code doesn't manipulate pointers either. The point is, the moment that you have _any_ unsafe code (C or Rust), it's a question of time before you will have some bugs, especially if you have a very large number of people working on the same code base...you may be extra careful, maybe the next guy is not...Rust is not going to magically solve these problems for unsafe code...
About laptops, I mostly agree. (While the wrong keyboard layout is something you could learn to live with or workaround, in practice it may well be too unpleasant to be worth it.)

For desktops, it shouldn't really matter. One quite likely already has a spare USB keyboard with the right layout, and if one doesn't, it shouldn't cost much to buy one (whether new or second-hand).
