Anyone seriously considering this is sorely mistaken.

When dictators consolidate their power, they purge their administration of anyone who does not pledge their supreme loyalty to them. The principled ones of course quit immediately, but without a doubt there will be significant number of people that remain. They are only human, and they have to deal with exactly the same problem that anyone else quitting their job faces in America today. Their minds will rationalize the actions, the Dictator will provide ample bogeymen as targets of hatred.

And even if they DO disobey an order, an American where the military no longer obeys the Civilian Administration... however terrible that might be, would be a dangerous line to cross. All bets are off at that point: the American military is the largest, best equipped fighting force the world has ever seen. Whoever commands it instantly commands immeasurable amount of power.
The fact that it was used in '92 for riots means it will be hard to challenge.

I feel it is an afront to the Constitution and the founders' intent, though. The Second Amendment is there, in part, to avoid the need for a standing military at all, because standing armies have a tendancy to be turned on the people.

Another reason the Second Amendment exists is so that citizens can remove their local police and protect themselves until they organize a new poloce force. A bit better organization could have put that into effect in Minneapolis.
>> Doesn't look unsightly to me. Also given that every car company and self driving car uses LiDAR suggests that over time the costs will come due to economies of scale.

This has been predicted for radar units over optical in other industries. It never happened. Optical became cheap and capable, radar stayed slow and expensive. I see no reason why this would change in car manufacturing.
No, they really weren't - or at least not in any way that might lead to actionable results

Can you substantiate that, or is it just your opinion? You can justify the imposition of your opinion on everyone? (Through violent intimidation?)

like building systems that do not give cops the power to murder people without accountability

This has happened, incrementally. Can you design a system, ground-up that will work as well as the current one? I suspect that's far more likely than iterating on the current one. That's also an opinion.
From a political perspective, almost certainly not even if it would ultimately save lives
Antidepressants? Not benzodiazepines? Which antidepressants have a warning label that states not to drive or operate machinery?

I think these particular words are older than many of the other ones. Also French-derived is CQ, which comes from the French sécurité. These phrases date back to when French was used much more as an international language.
We're in this situation because of police unions. Fuck any SWE union. It'll be full of xenophobic crackpots.
To be fare, rebels can be terrorists. I'd say the IRA was rebellious and terroristic in how they operated. They also managed to get what they wanted too.
> hyperlinks are relevant for navigation. here hyperlinks (as hashtags) are used for discovery.

Hyperlinks in Wikis are very much also structural/semantic. They are not primarily for navigation.

Imagine reading Wikipedia without the links, and where you had to use the search box for every potential link. Imagine all the noise you'd get when you'd search.

BTW, I suspect your question is more about Roam then about Zettelkasten. Don't conflate the two. Roam is a general purpose product which utilizes the power of linking. This author is merely adapting it to the Zettelkasten methodology.

If you're asking about what makes linking special in Roam: Any thing you write as a link in your notes (need not be a hashtag) - Roam will create an empty page for that link - perhaps similar to Wikipedia. You can see what notes link to it.

When you enter a date in Roam, it will create a page for that as well.

Same with hashtags.

I suppose you get a fair amount of querying power. I'm not a Roam user, so I don't know.

I believe the other thing Roam users love is that each bullet/paragraph is an independent entity that you can link to/from. So if my paragraph links to "foobar", then on the foobar page I can see which paragraph (not just which page) linked to it.

I don't think the article does a good job highlighting why people love Roam - he was focusing more on ZK. If you want a better article about the strengths of Roam, see https://www.nateliason.com/blog/roam

This was also an incentive for me to adopt a similar system. As the web gets bigger, it feels as though search engines are losing the SEO arms race and it’s harder to rediscover things I remember reading online in the past. As well as writing more notes, I’ve been making more of an effort to bookmark articles on the web if I think there’s the slightest possibility I’ll want to return to them later. This makes my Firefox omnibar suggestions more useful.
> Somewhere along the way Tesla Autopilot became marketed as a fully self-driving system freeing us to tune out.

Maybe it was somewhere around the point that they decided to call the top level autopilot option "Full Self-Driving"? They also had their demo day with a "full self driving" demo and basically claimed they could do that and that Autopilot would do it "soon". Elon's said repeatedly over the years that "by the end of the year" they'd have full eyes-off self driving. I can see how some average consumers could misconstrue this as Autopilot being more-or-less eyes off.
thats very interesting. in 2012, I got the worst sick I have ever been. body pain so bad it helped to moan to ease the pain, and a really bad pnenomia. but one of the things that was the kicker, eating food caused me to gag. I couldnt do it, I wonder if I had lost my sense of smell and didnt know it.
General strike.
I am certain to be in the minority, but how is this much different than seeing humvee and military armored police vehicles rolling down streets as of late? The helicopters were performing recon and visuals, again how is that different than police helicopters in LA that follow high speed chases? This particular helicopter story feels overblown and out of touch.

You are a middle man. They are makers. You need to change your business model, limiting the potential of some technology just because it doesn't suit your business model is absurd and it just keeps happening in multiple markets( e.g. CD drivers being slower as a copyright protection measure).

I can't wait until your market deflates enough that even the big guns don't have the money to push for this bullshit.
I don't understand this. The warning signs of the current administration's fascist-adjacent policies have been here for four years. Please do not pretend that it's now that Americans cannot heed those signs due to protests, especially when the protests are partially in response to the current administration.

Yes, before the Emergency Library, they maintained a reserve of physical copies of book they bought or owned. Once that limit is reached, you can't borrow it. Sounds possibly legal.

But this is new: unlimited borrowing. That's the opening for this lawsuit.
Who is “we” or “they?” I’ve certainly never done it. It has been terrible every time someone has done it.
What a sad day for hacker news when the parent post is the top post and this is a comment so far fetched in reality...

The Threatened use of military is not new. It was deployed during the riots in the 90s

Did you allude to illegal immigrants who broke into the country and was put in jail until they are processed as “families in cages”?

The use of police and national guards has always been used by every country to deal with rioters and looters.

I still don’t see any examples of fascism.
I admire your optimism. As evidence against it: the doctor that performed the autopsy claims there's no evidence that Floyd died of choking, instead blaming "possible narcotics" in his blood stream. No explanation for how the doc knew there were possibly narcotics in his blood stream without knowing exactly what those narcotics were.
I disagree. The general idea that human mind stores information as a connected knowledge graph is still valid for technical subjects.

Sure, for simpler examples like if statements, you may not gain much. But, even for loops have differences across languages. JS uses for..of for iterating while Python and Swift use for..in

Also, there are different approaches in each language for getting the index and value while iterating.

Then, there are more complex topics like generics which have significant implementation differences between Java and Swift etc.

It would lead to a better understanding looking at these notes in connection rather than in isolation
You can implement ZK with a Wiki. ZK is simply a Wiki with discipline about how you create pages, link, etc. Kind of like asking how GTD is any different from a TODO list. It's just a more structured TODO list.

Tools like Roam simply provide more convenient capability than a typical Wiki tool.
I'm not an American but a Canadian who has Canadian friends down there. People who would never have considered buying guns up here are purchase one per family member down there because of the riots.

You have a crazy country. Stay safe.
I will not be surprised if he didn't know anything about the Insurrection Act and was saying all of this as act of bravado without any thought.

In seriousness, does this statement count as the proclamation/warning referred to in the article?
The emergencies are all in Democrat run cities, where there's complete anarchy. Businesses are being smashed in, apartments are being burn to the ground. A world war 2 memorial was defaced. A church was burned. The Lincoln memorial was defaced. Macy's, the host of the Thanksgiving parade, has been completely raided and destroyed in NYC. Hundreds of Businesses were destroyed in Minneapolis, many who serve minority neighborhoods, provide jobs and essential services, completely wrecked. By my count 20+ cities have experienced intense destruction in the last 72 hours. I'm sorry but the cop who supposedly caused this all has already been arrested and transferred to maximum security prison where he awaits murder charges. If that's not enough for you, then you don't give a damn about justice. Meanwhile you cannot let domestic terror reign. That is not justice. That's chaos.
Even those without "unique" skills can typically be taught and the company still comes out ahead.

Didn't expect something as silly as this, especially the assertion that page sizes don't matter and since internet speeds are going up, web people are free to use it.

I don't see internet costs going down per MiB. Not everyone is on an unmetered connection. And users expect the large amount of bandwidth to be utilized for Netflix or something like that.

And how do you say Google is being evil for doing this? Even if there was no search monopoly and imagine there were two competing search engines. I think both of them would factor page load times in search results for better user experience.
The real protest will be to quit unless one genuinely thinks they can make a change in the ideology of a company (so somebody in upper management or with some pull). If you are a senior or lower engineer, I don't imagine this has any effect on anything. Just look on "who's hiring" every month here. Lots of local companies (and many remote) that pay good salaries and work towards great goals. If somebody disagrees with facebook's ideals, there is no shortage of jobs out there for them to apply for that pay well and have a net positive effect on the world (as far as I can tell, I could be wrong about some of these companies).
We, the people in this discussion; they, the US military.
Ask HN: Does this exist yet? UGC video clearinghouse for protests/etc.
I was inspired by OSINTHK's work during the protests in HK--assembling multiple videos of single incidents to provide as much context/evidence to fight the public relations battle.

I'm sure something like this must exist already--a collaborative public OSINT platform for correlating UGC by timestamp and location? Where users can upload video and based on the metadata you cluster them into incidents, add additional info, tags, etc.

(if it doesn't exist, it seems like it should)

You can take a look at the videos yourself. Go on snapchat maps, click near the WH. That[0] is not "recon and visuals," that is a military helicopter intimidating US civilians on our own soil.

When people feel that their security is threatened, they welcome fascism with open arms.

Large numbers of Americans are going to cheer this on.

Journalists are quoting Trump's statement as newsworthy. Everyone knows what he said. What's the point of censoring it ineffectually?
It's illegal for the military to monitor US citizens. It is illegal for them to police non-federal property.
I never knew much about the USSR as a kid. We grew up in fear of MAD, but the iron curtain meant that we didn't know, for instance, what kids TV shows were like on the other side, or what their music videos were like, or that they also liked Winnie the Pooh and Mary Poppins, the Three Musketeers ... or played with hula hoops and skateboards.

(even getting TV shows from the UK, a western country, was hard, because they were on PAL. people used to "camera copy", running a VCR to a TV on one system, and videorecording that with a camera running the other system)

So anyway, lately I've been taking full advantage of web standards to see what I had only been guessing about during the Cold War.

(the kids shows are still useful; I've had enough greek that I already knew a good portion of cyrillic, but learned the rest from Khryusha, Stepashka, and Philya)

Full props to all the ex-Warsaw Pact countries who changed their basic political systems without much violence. молодец!
I went to visit the factory, the have a flavor “graveyard” with gravestones with all the discontinued flavors.

By borrowing against your securities you have more cash to invest. You've put a multiplier on the amount you can invest. That's leverage. However, you have to pay back the loan with fees and interest. This increases risk because you could end up owing money rather than just having none if the securities crash.
More that many Americans will now see fascism as providing a certain method of protection. Plenty of authoritarians are popularly elected based on some threat.

Policies that engineers in general truly support are rare. Many engineers - I suspect the majority - just don't feel that strongly about most causes.

Theorising on alternatives to the contemporary Western legal system have been done for the last century by leftists, and a lot of that gets put into practice on a small scale where it can be. I've been involved in some of it myself. Part of the goal is to prevent creating permanent organisations, such as the police and the court and the prisons, that have a structural incentive to protect themselves against a community trying to hold them accountable.

In fact, note that the concept of a jury is intended to work this way (although is missing many elements, and exists under the permanent organisation of the court) - a temporary organisation gathering to find justice, then dispersing.

Unfortunately it's difficult to tell the exact outcome of implementing any of it on a wider scale, as the times leftism has actually been in power have largely been during times of war where a lot of theory was thrown out the window, or using leftist messaging to implement something closer to a dictatorship. All we know is that a lot of it works when implemented in our own communities.
Now we just need modular implicits and OCaml would be the ideal language for non-ML projects. Without them, OCaml is a little crusty.

The police (particularly police unions) are very politically powerful with their endorsements and contributions to politicians. Many mayors across the country are afraid to discipline their police departments.
I find this to be a much more compelling commentary and concern than the one I replied to. If what you mention does happen, it will be legitimately frightening.

At least when authoritarianism hit my home country (Venezuela), we could leave.
Given that one of the subjects of the protests is whether police can murder on mere suspicion of a weapon, I suspect not. The chances of a comparable hypothetical BLM armed occupation being allowed to live are small. If they surrendered they would likely be shot in the back of the head while handcuffed.
I would find such a thing invaluable for connecting different articles on “the best way to for loop in bash” and “how decomposing a for loop results in AVX512 optimizations”, for example, even if my goal isn’t literary review.
Wasn't this past curfew (7pm in DC), which is illegal for them to be gathering?
This can get very ugly when the personnel assigned starts wondering if this is really what they signed up for.
Don't distract from what's happening my friend. The American President had absolutely no need to let loose the military on peaceful protestors as he did today, simply to get a photo op in front of a church.

The majority of the protests across the country have been peaceful, with a minority engaging in rioting and looting. If that's what you choose to focus on, then you don't give a damn about justice.
Just to be clear, you're advocating at best the Black Panther strategy? Or just straight up shooting at police?
This has gone on long enough. Send the troops in to haul every last one of them off. Fix bayonets so that any who resist can be rapidly dealt with.

Haha, well I guess.

To start you off:

Composite order attacks: things that are prime tend to be hard to attack. If your curve doesn’t use prime stuff then you can take the factors of the thing and attack it in little groups.

Anomalous curves: elliptic curves have a total number of points. We call that the order. So does the “field” (kinda like a box) that the curve lives in. If the number of elements in the field and the number of elements in the curve are the same, you can kinda “lift” the curve out of its box and put it in another box that’s easier to smash it in. :)

lol at the idea that the military will disobey orders... if they're going to disobey orders it'll be to start a coup...
The hypothetical policy wouldn't replace existing laws, it would just be an additional tax on violent behaviors that apply to cops, criminals, school children, etc.

Another thought I had around this was to just fire any police officer that fires their weapon at another human. If they truly believe that their life is in danger, they value their life more than their job.

Either of these things would at least add some actual cost to the idea associated with performing an action with extreme consequences on another human being's life.
If by desperate, you mean low effort, I'll sort of accept that. I spent about 90s on it.

But as to these not being "Antifa", get real. If any weren't done by Antifa, Antifa would nonetheless cheer the perpetrators on with great enthusiasm. That's what Antifa is about. They are denigrators and destroyers of that which is decent and noble in humankind.
