Supplying an alternate link to circumvent a paywall or network routing issue is well within the rules of HN. You’re being pedantic. Who was harmed by the URL specifically? It was clearly and unambiguously labeled.
Yeah my gut feeling is that the relative balance is important to people, but I understand that if one party wins 2 or 3 elections in a row and there happens to be a lot of vacancies, they could swing the court heavily to the right or to the left. And since game theory dictates that you don't know when you'll have the presidency again, you can't nominate centrists to please the crowd you may find the court packed with your opponents + centrists...which means it leans to your opponents.
It should be easy to dismiss his claim.

Well I just learned about a website today that gives the list of the police who have been sued and their names and records. [1]

I think maybe a better use of the public outrage of cancel-culture might be to direct that call-out energy from celebrities to police that commit manslaughter.

Next step might be getting pictures on such a website.

Sure, don't assume malice with regular people, but US politicians are completely disingenuous and they know exactly what they're doing. It is rare for them to "really believe what they say they believe", because saying anything true at all pretty quickly starts to reveal their financial interests.
I did some benchmarks at some point, and for me:

Go was faster, Go use (a lot) less memory, much easier to distribute the application, and I don't need generics (even though I like it)
I'be been using devuan almost daily for about two years now. Very happy with it, I also use debian,ubuntu and in the past RHEL and I can tell you it's just simpler without systemd for me. Very glad to see progress on projects I use daily like this one.

Almost all of this is completely non-starters if we don't end the blue wall of silence and qualified immunity.

The first autopsy in this case came back blaming existing health conditions and other causes (someone standing on his neck). If there had not been a video the cop would never have faced any action. That report, while possibly factually true, was written in a way to make it possible for the police officer to get off.

Speaking of information already saved, one of my favorite pizza places has my order history keyed to my phone number.

Ordering ahead usually comes down to dialing them up, giving my name and phone number and telling them I'd like the same as last time. They read it off to me to confirm, quote me a waiting time, and that's that. Start to finish, the call is probably less than thirty seconds.
> In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."
Text is a human language.

Computers do not really run on text. You can't talk to Unix like it's the bridge computer in Star Trek. No, Unix runs on bytes that sort of look like text because we have encoded and rendered it that way.

What computers need most for structured processing are data types. At instruction set level we had a period of experimentation with byte and word lengths which was still in effect when Unix was born. At that time we also had experimentation with text encodings such as EBCDIC and the various ASCII codepages. Since then we have pretty much settled on standards based on multiples of an 8-bit byte, and on a common text encoding - UTF-8. At the time of Unix's inception the byte stream was a relatively bold move because it enforced variable-length encodings of bytes as the building block of interoperability, versus some kind of static record. Now it is mundane, and the world has moved on to always parsing the bytes for some other purpose.

We desire standards that encode data containers, strings and numeric primitives, so that we do less parsing. XML and S-expressions offer two methods of encoding hierarchies of strings. More recently, JSON has become a very common encoding. It encodes strings, numeric values, and two types of hierarchical containers(key-value and array). We also have SQL databases as an older example, which encode various primitives and a variety of tabular data relationships. With each data language we get one or more associated query languages to express how we select data.

Unix's handling of files is incomplete because of the ambiguity of queries on files. We rely heavily on relationships between directories and on glob syntax to perform selection in a Unix filesystem. Unix paths and glob syntax are not really a byte stream or a file, but they are most certainly part of Unix, and you would be suffering in short order without those concepts. Yet Unix does not respect the existence of its own query language, and never declares a basic system representation for queries and their results akin to the results of a SQL query. Instead we parse the query as bytes and output the results of queries to bytes and parse those bytes, which means there is no guarantee of support at any of the boundaries where your program touches paths. As long as you only deal with one file at a time you don't have an issue, but at scale, the way we work with our applications needs more complex selections on files; the workaround is to "bottle up" the data into one file that has some other structure, which then necessitates special tools to move around the data.

And if you look at what people complain about when working with the shell, the behavior of file selection is a major complaint, and adds a lot of complexity.
You never mine all the blocks, and regardless of the reward there is always a transaction fee which incentives mining.

Regardless though my point about space heaters was that 'being warm' is enough incentive for some people to mine crypto.
Not really. The US had numerous schemes like this under "net neutrality" (it wasn't).

Same for Europe, which was often touted as a net neutrality success story. This kind of scheme is extremely popular all across Europe.

Interesting - I wasn't aware "resolution" was ever used this way. PPI (pixels per inch) and "pixel density" are common terms for this now.
That depends on how you're making that gas. IIRC algae (the primary ingredient in most fossile fuels) are less than 10% efficient at converting sunlight into chemical energy after metabolic expenditures. (There's also the part where the sun is <<0.00001% efficent at turning fusion energy into sunlight-that-hits-earth, but that problem isn't specific to gas heating.)
It’s very easy to prove. The data is everywhere. Unbelievable that this whole thing is false
Looking at the code, I don't see any advantage of using imperative language here. All the conditions used there are already available and don't change during the execution of that code. So the conditionals would be nearly identical in functional language.

Nix advantage here would be that is lazily evaluated, so there would be an additional benefit that only conditionals that are used are evaluated.

Functional benefit of Nix would be that Nix would know that a package doesn't need to be rebuilt if no inputs changed.

Side note Mozilla actually uses Nix internally, it appears that it is used for Rust and Firefox and most likely other things[1][2]

What video is that? What took place?
Since you mentioned a popular YouTube channel, Historia Civilis has an excellent series on the late Roman Republic, where populism plays a major role in the republic's downfall.

I'm not sure I agree that populism is, by nature, opposed to democracy. I think it is better defined as an opposition to the status quo - which very well may be a democratic government - when that system fails to address the concerns of its people. The voting process in Rome was hilariously tilted against poorer Roman citizens. The only real recourse for anyone fed-up with the senate would be to support a strongman populist who promised radical reform, because the existing voting system (public assemblies) was not effective at representing the will of the people (by design).

I think CGP Grey's video on the keys to power is another great example of this dynamic at play - you only matter when you hold a key to power. Without that, no leader will waste their time listening to you.

Reasonable justification != Reasonable

My point is, searching for just mattress should reasonably and logically include a small sampling of 'all' related topics. As by your own words, specific implications behind the search should be left to additional keywords. Assuming the search is for the purposes of buying, without specifying that, is certainly more profitable to google than a small sampling of all related topics, but not what most users want when simply searching for a vague general thing or concept.
Thank you, it's unlikely I'll get that far (yesterday I wanted to do six things, it is now 0240 and I am starting the first one...) but even if I don't end up using it somebody else might.
It's certainly true that police instigate some of these riots, but how do you explain arson?

Without listing the numerous acts of arson that have occurred, I think we could agree that it's farfetched to say that police have instigated those acts of arson. Even if they did, it would still not be correct to exact the revenge against the completely uninvolved property owners.

There are bad police and there are bad protestors, good and evil are not evenly distributed across the two opposing sides. You might say the bad guys aren't really protestors, they're rioters. I'd also say that the bad cops aren't really cops, they're criminals.

Please maintain an unbiased and neutral attitude when you think about the police. Not all of them are bad. It's really unfortunate that enough of them are that things like this happen.

With that said the escalation of this conflict is almost 100% the fault of Trump.
Must be a lot of racists on HN if this benign statement is flagged. :-/
> I include a hard to follow disclaimer

Casual scum is casual.
That sounds better on a bumper sticker than when you think about it even slightly longer. The police have tons of guns, armored vehicles, and the backing of the largest military in the world. If you threaten them, do you really think they’re going to back down instead of getting bigger guns?
There’s no support in the data for a racial bias in police violence. Stop repeating it. It has happened in isolated cases. Otherwise police violence has been declining for decades
Most of the complexity is to handle a small number of cards that are essentially never used except to prompt rule puzzles. The rules have to be very complex to accommodate when these complex cards redouble their complexity by interacting with each other. Sadly, this doesn't work, because the game rules are complex enough to simulate a Turing machine, and as a result some board states are undecidable!

The system seems to be working as intended. You're asked every 4 years for a feedback and a direction, 30% of all concerned people bother to do so, 30% of the population is satisfied.

Maybe, oh maybe, look at yourself in the mirror and at least use the system, before rebuilding it from absolute 0 ? It's not like Trump grabbed the power from the feeble hands of the poor masses. The masses chanted his name for christ's sake... on a platform to revoke everything the previous guy did...

Sorry but this time, the system worked perfectly.

"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."

-- John Adams, 2nd President of the United States

Here in Australia there's a weird combination of moves towards this hugely damaging two-party approach to politics (moves orchestrated I suspect by pop media), and a very real trend away from that. At the last federal election, f.e., we had >25% of people not voting for either of the two major parties - that ratio has been growing steadily, and is hugely reassuring.

What's not reassuring is that most people still think in terms of A or B, exhibiting a poverty of expectations, or perhaps just seeking a simple answer to the complexity of administration.
In at least some states, "internet blogger" qualifies you as a journalist. So, y'know, if you've got a twitter account and you're talking about the protest, congrats: you're press!
There are no statics because the police refuses to track it. The best we have show clear racial bias:

Your comment would make sense if his position was consistent, but he already has a team of partisan "fact checkers" for other posts, including their new "supreme court" (which is similarly stacked with partisans).

Additionally, there's the outright censorship he allows due to government pressure, particularly in Europe.

If Zuckerberg was a principled man, where's E2EE on Facebook's messaging products? It was announced then totally vanished, never to be mentioned again (presumably after he got a tap on the shoulder from some alphabet agencies).

Zuckerberg is a position chameleon, and he appears whatever color he thinks the audience wants him to appear as.
yeah,
Great success my ass, we got an Emperor, 3 kings and another emperor after that.

We only got the right to vote for men in a republic after we patriotically enlisted in 1875 to fight Prussia, and women when they patriotically replaced men in factories during WWII. Notice a pattern ? Like it would be handled like a carrot to a population so exhausted the only thing they vote for is the people already at the top ?

People who bullshit that beheading privilege-born people leads to great success is a lunatic and will be beheaded like Robespierre eventually. Even the second revolution in 1848 lead to the election of ... Napoleon III as president, before he created the "second empire"... Another violent fiasco.

Not saying it should be that way, but tired of hearing the french revolution disaster quoted as a miracle of democracy by all pseudo-anarchists to justify their blind violence. It's not taught that way to children in France. We call part of it the Terror...

Probably the most accessible introduction to dies that I've seen. Really informative.
There’s no excuse for policing that doesn’t accommodate existing (when being stood upon by the neck) or pre-existing health conditions. If the insurance companies don’t get to discriminate on these grounds, why do the police? The police and those defending their actions are basically saying the bar for acceptable police use of force for the general public is as much as deemed necessary by the individual officer in the field, up to and including killing a person. All for a nonviolent offense. To say that he died because of his health conditions is to say that “healthy” people wouldn’t, and so the officer’s use of force was therefore within acceptable limits.

I guess the public doesn’t find that acceptable any longer. Good for them.
Thanks for the clarification. It was non-obvious to me at first reading, but I can see the interpretation you outline now.

>And if you know a better way for HN moderation to relate to political topics, I'd really like to know what it is.

I would point out the /r/AskHistorians and /r/PoliticalDiscussion communities, which are surprisingly civil (at least for reddit). The latter community has guidelines for what makes a successful submission: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalDiscussion/wiki/posts . Both are mainly question driven, which I find refreshing. When we are reading news articles or research, the discussion can be extra reactionary and hyper-focused on the source and author, minor gaps in a study's coverage, or the specific circumstances of the story.
About 1000 people were killed by cops last year. 41 of those were unarmed. Of those 41, 9 were black
> So many major policies, from abortion to the role of religion in the public sphere are decided in America by unelected judges, whereas Europe for the most part manages to pass legislation on the same issues through democratic consensus.

I’m not sure that’s entirety true. It is true that the US tends to act on courts alone more often; that is, it doesn’t bother legislating at all. But a lot of civil rights issues in many European countries originate in the courts; the government acts when it realises the courts are going to do something. This is particularly true of the ECHR.
The police are being told by the governors who are being told by the POTUS that the protestors must “dominated”. I’m not editorializing or interpreting here. Listen to Trump himself say it over and over again in the course of this phone call:

https://soundcloud.com/the-daily-beast-politics/trump-audio

I can’t stress how useful it is to hear this context first hand yourself.
Wait was the escalation when rioters started looting and burning stuff? or was it when they shot cops and bystanders? or maybe it was when they started having pallets of bricks deployed to protest areas? Nah, it was when trump sent in the national guard that governors requested.
> There is just something so lacking with VR if you don't want to play games.

Yes, it's lacking more apps. Which is rather a Catch-22. There has to be demand for them. Games are just an 'easy' (relatively speaking) medium to get into.

There are a few practical concerns of course. In a work environment, your manager can no longer easily interrupt you. They can't easily keep tabs on what you are doing either. This is enough to kill it at a workplace – maybe an exception for some engineering/medical settings.

If you want to experiment with something that's not a game, take a look at this: https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula
Good attempt, but no.

-Allow for voting for null. If null wins, position goes unfulfilled. Belgium did it for the longest time. Nothing broke in thr meantime.

-Make it costly to bribe. All voting positions are subject to a random swap. For example the winner of a senate seat in FL is forced to swap for state assemblyman. If declined, the runner up takes the spot. And this is true for all elections including president.

-Get people to fight about insignificant topics. In switzerland, people argue at the canton level about the size of the local roads. No oxygen left to argue national, topdown issues. This can be achieved by bringing direct democracy rules (similar to suisse) into USA.

I think all 3 could pass on a nationwide referendum with a powerful enough executive.

Haha, I like the view, but generally if I want a salesperson I want to voluntary engage in that transaction. Fortunately, in the business I'm in I can just forbid reselling in the licence except for the folks I'm getting into business with. The unfortunate reality for restaurants is that they can't.

Confusing a deputy that you are indeed someone in order to intermediate a relationship between them and that person has a skeevy air to it. It's the deception, I think.
The statistics I see from Google all indicate that police violence is going up, not down. So where are your sources?
1: It's actually, under your proposal, "rewriting a portion of [history] during an attack which costs 400 [not 400 thousand] [dollars] per hour".

2: If you are A (and regardless of whether you're also C) and you sent money to B during the 400$/hr (less than a high-profile lawyer, and probably faster to boot) attack, then yes, changing coins sent from A -> B to A -> C is exactly what you can do.
There's no overhead.
