Electron is slow and lethargic. Even the highly optimised VS Code makes me switch to gvim several times a day because input doesn't go in sequence; it seems to process easier input first rather than earlier input first.

You can use Gtk to make executables on Windows and MacOS, but it's not comfortable and the resulting guis are ugly. They do not take advantage of the full provisions of the platform. Gtk is less cross platform, and more a foundational Gnome library that someone has ported to Windows and MacOS. No support for two major operating systems.

Qt I can't speak to.

WxWidgets seems to be a little .. dated. The screenshots on their website look like programs that were acceptable for a technical user 15 years ago. Has it moved on from that? Dunno. No support for two major operating systems.
Hmm, Trump's use seems to entirely have been to label things that are true that he wants [his supporters] to deny are true? Someone levels a factual criticism against him, they get thrown out and he says it's "fake news".

Worse, for me in the UK, his success got adopted by UK Tories, now we also have a people in positions of power who just dodge hard questions and where possible exclude press as punishment. People in power who lie and aren't held to account. It's diabolical -- but by subverting the rule of law they're able to continue.

My emotion-driven reaction here (“ha! They’d run out of lies from side A before scratching the surface with side B!”) is _exactly_ why trying something like this would be a good move.
Public figures have it harder when it comes to using the "it's just my opinion" argument.

YOU can claim vaccines are a fake, and that's bad, but won't have harder consequences on you.

A medical doctor can't claim the same thing without losing their position as a medical doctor; they kinda lose a bit of that "it's just my opinion" card as part of the responsibilities they have with society.
Having lived on reservations, Navajo Nation being one of them, I'd opine that the co-morbidities are the main contributing factor. The diabetes rates on the rez are many times that of the US population as are the rates of alcoholism.

The most actionable decision one can make is to vote for candidates who don't make us test these questions. Academically, it's somewhat intriguing, but in terms of actual leadership, there are more pressing issues.

I've seen this sentiment echoed a few times.

What are the advantages, or class of advantages, you get by moving on from Firebase to something stronger/harder?
Given some automated tests and strategically positioned inspection points, it should be possible to monitor the outbreak of this and other deceases. That might be more cost effective than being surprised by outbreaks and then dealing with the consequences. Right now we have entire countries on lock down to preempt the decease spreading because we lack fine grained detection mechanisms that can effectively give us a high degree of certainty that a given area is affected or not and take measures quickly if something pops up.

At this point, most countries seem to be getting this under control and most of the business of hand washing, mask wearing, and social distancing, etc. that is wrecking our economies is just that: preemptive measures because we just don't know other than by monitoring death rates and new reported cases numbers.

Tesla have claimed before that it does.

> “When we launched Model X 75D, it had a low gross margin. As we’ve achieved efficiencies, we are able to lower the price and pass along more value to our customers,” Tesla said in a statement. (2017)

In this case, selling excess inventory/capacity seems a more likely reason, perhaps also the introduction of new Model S/X variants/features.

Sorry, no, that's not how it works. We have to live with the consequences of our mistakes, as a species just as individuals.

The happy news is that we're not nearly so powerful, as a species, as we fantasize ourselves to be. No more than a million or so years after we're gone, you'd never be able to tell by looking that we were here at all.
If fact-checking the President when he says untrue things is "strong political bias," there are larger problems than the fate of one employee at Twitter.

Yes, how sad that incorrect facts will no longer stand unquestioned...

If I'm wrong I like being corrected. It means I learn something. Of course if I think the correction is incorrect then things get a bit more complex and a longer discussion will ensue.
Good luck with that (not). Today we have decentralized social networks specifically designed to combat that kind of censorship, and other problems with centralized control.

Ask HN: Getting Started with SVG
I'm interested in creating building diagrams and maps using SVG. I expect to be working with a lot of connected shapes and textboxes for unit numbers. I'd even like to populate text programmatically.

What software do you recommend I use? Is there a kind of IDE for SVG creation?
I'd agree, with one caveat: there have been plenty of cases where groups push political or other controversial causes via the schools systems (see: the "teach the controversy" and "intelligent design" cases of trying to classify a deistic creation story as backed by science). I can easily see a world where media literacy classes are hijacked to teach the opposite of what ideally should be taught, in order to serve the needs of a few politicians rather than society as a whole.

Did you read the entire thing first?

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mail-in-ballot-voter-fraud...

What's True

While no U.S. government agency officially compiles state-by-state data on voter fraud, and requirements for mail-in voting vary by state, analysis by elections experts shows that fraud is slightly more common with mail-in voting than in-person voting at polling places.

What's False
All types of voter fraud in U.S. elections is minuscule in comparison to the number of ballots cast, according to elections experts. Taking that into consideration, it is problematic to make comparisons between types of ballot-casting systems and erroneous to claim mail-in voting "substantially" increases the risk of fraud.
Sure, there will always be a market for hyperlocal and hyper-relevant stuff, but most of it is fairly timeless. Many of those landscape photos will be good 30 years from now.

Add in that an image competes globally and is infinitely scalable and that is essentially perfect competition with the prices to match.
Where Did Software Go Wrong?
This seems to be likely. Google has an awful track of things like this.
Twitter obviously has double standards; has for years. Remember when the US elected a troll and Twitter responded to calls they enforce their own TOS by modifying the TOS to have a carve-out for "newsworthiness?"

There are also articles on The Guardian and NYT[2][3]. In the right wing and independent media it looks even more gross[4][5].

> Nevertheless, recent work has uncovered critical flaws in the research which underlies this consensus. In fact, these flaws are sufficient to not only invalidate the most compelling evidence against the hot hand, but even to vindicate the belief in streakiness.

The difficulty involves subtle misunderstanding of the probabilities involved in random sequences: an error that is nearly "nearly equivalent to the famous Monty Hall problem".
Of course, it is colored by the viewpoints of the other side. But there are also connections, like the idiotic emphasis on consuming. And they laugh about the incompetence of Bernie Sanders (getting cucked all the time!) or "Creepy" Joey. Same abstraction, other implementation.

That caveat aside, if you can switch package managers, MacPorts explicitly supports older OS X releases (back to Tiger!) and thus may give you less problems.

That's the thing. If there is no evidence to support it, it cannot be asserted as an unequivocally true statement. Trump doesn't claim that it "might" be true, or he "believes" it to be true, he says, effectively, "this is the unarguable truth". And Twitter says "not so fast".
I think that's a good thing.

Six Ways to Handle Context Switching When Studying Several New Things
There is a huge difference between a algorithm which detect potential fake news and adds a banner like "find information about <topik> here", "this is likely faktual wrong", etc. And a algorithm which removes the content outright.

With other words:

- fact check => removal == bad especially if automatised, basically censorship

- fact check => warning + link to some source + maybe slightly less visibility in search (but still visible and potentially still even first result) == ok, people still can make their own opinion there is basically no censorship.

(Side note, yes I'm aware that even "non" censoring methods can have a minimal censoring effect due to peoples laziness, but it's quite limited and IMHO acceptable especially if linked sources are objective.)
Exactly.

Also, if they're false it should be easy to correct them.

Anyone who thinks about this for more than 20 seconds will see that this is about control, not protecting poor Twitter users who supposedly can't decide for themselves.

Yes, I suspect (as another commenter said) that these might be phrases that have been used in some 'political spamming' campaign flooding youtube with hundreds of thousands of OT comments on random videos. So they might have been treated as garbage and deleted.

I can understand that if every youtube video starts to be spammed with "Trump sucks" comments, Youtube might decide to auto-delete them. It doesn't have to be pro-Trump censorship.

Calling normal news outlets "anti-Trump" is just falling for his crybully antics.

Vitamin D insufficiency has been strongly correlated to COVD-19 deaths and severe symptoms in various locations, although obviously more data is still needed to prove causation.

Either way unless you work outside you should probably be on 5000 IU of Vitamin D a day just to compensate for sunlight deprivation.

Apple got sued for throttling iPhones with overly aged batteries. My understanding is that for all battery-dependent devices, you either sometimes throttle the CPU so it doesn’t demand more voltage than the battery can reliably deliver, or else you risk sudden power loss at what appears to be 20% life.

After the lawsuit I assume now all manufacturers leaving it up to the consumer to decide which behavior they want.
