WRT "... Is everything that disagrees with Trump now "political bias"?.."

I think much of the media (bbc, reuters, vox, cnbc, msnbc, abc, cnn, buzzfeed, huffingtonpost, twitter's leadership) basically are the propaganda arm of the anti-Trump Coup.

The use a multi-level approach to execute and to protect it:

- to keep legitimacy of their disinformation efforts, keep 10-15% of the reporting as 'neutral', and then flood the 90% of the time with anti-president message.

This tactic allows for what I call: Plausible Deniability.

When you confront these propagandists about the majority of their disinformation compaign, they point to the '10%' and then claim plausible deniability ('eg we do not do everything wrong)

- Use War propaganda tactics [2]. With emphasis on 4 (We are defending a noble cause, not our particular interests!) and 5 (The enemy is purposefully committing atrocities; if we are making mistakes this happens without intention)

- instigate unrest (and there are a number of tactics to do this, as we are seeing being unrolled)

When you use the above decomposition, it is, at least for me, easy to see what is going on and why.

With regards to:

>".. Could you write down these opinions as if they were your own, without violating HN's house rules?.."

Sure.
So let me re-iterate the context

Trump's tweet:
>"...
....These THUGS are dishonering the memory of George
Floyd, and I won't let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz
and told him that the Military is with him all the way.
Any Difficult and we will assume control, but when looting starts, the
the shooting starts.

Thank you.
..."

The twitter suggests that the above is glorifying violence.

I think that an opinion, it is a wrong opinion.
And leads to more violence.

I would interpret Trump's message as:

- Laws will be enforced. Help to local police is on the way
(in the form of National Guard that Tim Woltz mobilized [1]).

- Physical harm to Innocent people and their property will lead to shootings.

I would interpret Twitter's handling of this as:
we do not want law enforcement to enforce laws. Loot all you want, it is your right under the circumstances.

I have the same 3 monitor, 'computer glasses' setup... Did your optometrist give you grief about them?

The first time I said I wanted a pair of single focus lenses for the computer (so I could use my whole field of view..), I got a lot of flak about "you should get bifocals". I haven't needed to drive anywhere in the last couple of years, so I basically never where my distance glasses anymore.

lately though.. Seems like they're getting more used to the idea. Maybe more people doing it ?

Regarding supported platforms

"Fuchsia has good support for a few different hardware platforms including the Acer Switch 12, Intel NUC, and Google Pixelbook (not to be confused with the Chromebook Pixel). The install process is not currently compatible with ARM-based targets."

Looks like the 2 laptops can be had used/new for between 660-1k+ while the NUC can be purchased as a bare board with cpu for as little as 290

I've been trying to wrap my head around the 'viral load' theory too. This goes against the mainstream notion of what getting a virus means. I've never heard before of people getting a worse case of flu because somebody else sneezed harder on them!

It makes sense that with an initial small load the immune system might get a chance to wipe out the infection immediately.

But I assumed that once infection does happen and cells start mass-producing the virus then it gets pumped into the whole body really fast. Turns out this might not be true and that the immune system ramps up response at the same pace regardless of the infection severity, which seems entirely unexpected?!

While your characterization is valid I wouldn't call it a black swan, just because some of the characteristics are surprising/unknown.

All the top virologists I heard say pretty much the same on that front: it is a special thing, but the idea that something like this could happen sooner or later was clear as day.

In what way does software "clash" on *nix? The isolation provided by snaps and flatpaks is 99% about isolating devs from having to worry about deps and different platforms.
But how does it help to have one directory for all Linux-based OSes (or one directory for RHEL, one for Ubuntu, one for Debian, etc.), and one for FreeBSD and one for OpenIndiana?

At least, that's what I interpret "OS-specific" to mean.
Yes, I disagree.

Free Exercise has never meant "do whatever you want" because that would have rendered all other laws moot.

The Reynolds case has a good discussion of what was going on in the heads of the BOR convention. In a nutshell, religion was viewed as "beliefs" not "actions." (There is a letter from Jefferson on this point.) So the free exercise of religion was understood to mean the freedom to believe whatever you wanted to believe, not whatever you wanted to do.

Modern First Amendment law is actually broader than the BOR...religious practice is considered subject to First Amendment protections, but like speech, is subject to extremely limited restrictions.

I found this site super cool, and last year tried to extend this idea out, to actually map the areas that may be plausible targets (I'm not a researcher or anything, I just was curious to see how close a given location was to military bases, power plants, etc). Wrote up my general approach here: https://bpodgursky.com/2019/07/25/bunker-land-the-best-and-w...

Tried to make the map exploreable, although the UI could use a bit of polish: https://bunker.land/ (have some other stuff in there too, like natural disaster risk).
That was helpful and clear, thanks!

Hmm, I'm not sure of the details, but I very much remember encountering type errors based on what data path was taken. Playing around now I think the typical case is more as you described. I might revisit when I'm better rested.
It varies. I work for myself. Recently when I was working at my startup and took a salary I made ~$120k/year. When I was contracting I made $150k-200k/year. Recently I moved from San Francisco to Yangon, Myanmar and haven't been working much. So far this year I've only made $12k (which is enough here to live for a year).

If I wanted to purchase a house I would pay for it in cash, so I don't need a loan. I don't buy things I haven't earned (crazy! I know). I don't use debt. I don't have to worry about what a lender thinks of me.

As far as mortgages go, I know someone else who doesn't have a credit score and got 3.5% using a manual underwriter. If you have good finances you can get good rates without a credit score.
This quote stuck with me:

"I returned to civilization shortly after that and went to Cornell to teach, and my first impression was a very strange one. I can't understand it any more, but I felt very strongly then. I sat in a restaurant in New York, for example, and I looked out at the buildings and I began to think, you know, about how much the radius of the Hiroshima bomb damage was and so forth... How far from here was 34th street?... All those buildings, all smashed — and so on. And I would go along and I would see people building a bridge, or they'd be making a new road, and I thought, they're crazy, they just don't understand, they don't understand. Why are they making new things? It's so useless.

"But, fortunately, it's been useless for almost forty years now, hasn't it? So I've been wrong about it being useless making bridges and I'm glad those other people had the sense to go ahead."

Richard P. Feynman
That is false. HCQ is a zinc ionophore, and thus can shuttle zinc into the infected cells to inhibit RNA Polymerase, thereby inhibiting viral replication. Studies all over the world have supported this.

HCQ with zinc EARLY on is very likely helpful and many have attributed this to saving their life. Also given the long-standing risk profile of HCQ as an anti-malarial treatment and indicates that there are quite limited risks and side effects unless the patient has certain heart conditions or certain other specific and easy to know about conditions.

Fake news points to studies that don’t test the key combo of “HCQ+Zinc+Early”. Any other combo may fail, but that does not mean that this combo is not effective.
Why that field in particular?

Don't just audit. Strengthen the critical APIs with types. A user provided string is not the same type as an authentic identity. Make the developer be explicit about the critical mistake about to be made. Perl had this down decades ago with the tainted checks.

Maybe; but that theory is a little suspect since presumably this entire pandemic started from a single viron and viruses grow so quickly that a single infected cell can produce ~1,000 new virus particles (dunno how may a coronavirus produces, that figure is something I Googled for HIV).

Starting dose does matter but surely people risk infection from even a tiny dose.
Windows exists, too. Probably would be in %APPDATA% or %TMP%

But Ethanol is incompatible with aircraft because it is corrosive to aluminum (and tends to cause more serious vapor-lock problems in fuel lines).

Incidentally, this is also an issue with small engines in things like garden equipment --- the ethanol tends to degrade plastics over time too.

BootMine – Bootable minesweeper game in a 512-byte boot sector
One of the contributors here - not entirely sure if you're asking for pros or cons, but the entire point of Caldera is to execute/keep the React code on the server and only stream DOM updates. It's set up such that existing React web apps can be easily ported over (essentially just move all client logic to the server), so you can definitely make normal web apps with the framework! If you're asking about drawbacks, one of the biggest issues is latency, since events need to be sent to the server to be processed, but this can be relatively easily alleviated by hosting servers closer to clients.

Python 3.7 added support for hash-based cache files as an alternative to time-based.

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html#pyc-invalida...

Verifying a hash is a bit slower than checking the timestamp but far faster than parsing and byte compiling the source file, so I don't think this option is "significantly inert".
This is against the OpenPose license, which strictly disallows the use of it for sports if anyone uses it for commercial purposes. I'd take this down or at least note it. They're known for being extremely litigious. It's not clear why this carveout exists but it's likely they licensed it to an NBA team or a provider for basketball (not going to get into how I know this).

From their non-commercial licensing page:

"The non-exclusive commercial license cannot be used in the field of Sports. ("Sports" shall mean any and all athletic competition between individuals, groups of individuals or teams.)"

Interestingly, the paper states that StoneCutter uses LLVM to output Chisel[1,2]. However, Chisel has its own compiler framework called FIRRTL[3].

It seems the reason for LLVM as a step before getting to Chisel is the optimization passes; the paper specifically lists "loop invariant code motion, instruction combining, control flow graph simplification and constant propagation."

FIRRTL has optimizations as well, but that paper states: "The three major optimization transformations implemented are constant propagation, common subexpression elimination, and dead code elimination."

Confronting the Police Brutality Narrative
Old and obsolete mean different things.

If something comes along significantly and obviously better-suited than COBOL in its domain, with a migration path, we might see COBOL code gradually replaced. Peter Thiel said “ If we are truly talking about an innovation, then the product will not be an incremental improvement. For it to be an innovation it must be 10 times better than what is currently available.“ Steve Jobs said something similar.

Having worked on big systems in COBOL, I can say it’s good at what it does, and the tools are better than you might think. The tendency to view anything old or out of sight as obsolete junk bedevils the tech industry.

This Reddit Comment describes what's happening here well: https://www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/gtexcj/google_gave_...

>The core reason it happened... this place doesn't qualify to be on the map in the first place and it thus confuses the system.

>The secondary reason... the name of a feature is supposed to be the name and nothing more.

>A real estate agency qualifies to be on the map. Google also lets certain professionals to be on the map, with realtors being one such professional.

>This is neither of those, this is a "team". It's not allowed on the map anymore than the team or shift I'm on at my job.

>Here's the exterior. As you can see the name of the agency is "Summit Sotheby's International Realty", that's on the map at https://goo.gl/maps/cVEtvvRqCnJq5aEJ8.

>Other than the agency, all that then qualifies to be at this location are listings for individual realtors. So a listing that says "Cindy Wallace" and nothing more in the title is allowed. Instead we have her trying to keyword stuff her listing with Park City Utah Real Estate - Cindy Wallace Team. She also uses the category of Real Estate Agency when she isn't one, she needs to use the Real Estate Agents category. Probably doesn't work the trend of trying to represent your "team" as it's own agency.

> but it's simple enough to realize that if this function, as claimed, must drop all the sub-objects within the `HeavyObject` type, then those objects must have been copied from the original object.

Untrue. Rust uses move semantics (or shallow copys for types that implement the Copy trait via e.g. memcpy - no you can't customize this!) Deep copies require explicitly calling methods like ".clone()". So HashMap's pointers and sizes do get memcpyed... 56 bytes on the 64-bit playground currently.

This is similar to how std::move(...)ing a std::unordered_map in C++ nulls out the old object and just copies the pointers of the container - not a deep copy of the subobjects - which in similar C++ code would turn the main thread's destructor into a noop.

The main difference from C++ is: Rust handles this at the language level instead, and doesn't call the dtor at all on the main thread at all if the value was moved. No need for manual movement logic - it is the default, for everything. Also unlike C++, it also prohibits you from using the old moved-from object at compile time, preventing bugs.
Nah, first I got very surprised, then did this post, then vent to sleep. Just tweeted at them.
