I have no idea, but it's not just the flagging, I even bring it up and the negs pour in. Weird emails recently, too. I've no idea why it's gotten so bad lately, I guess when something is so divisive it's just bound to happen.

I get the comments can be cesspools and maybe that's why the fast flags, but censoring opposing views doesn't erase them, it hides them. I dont come for articles, most are reposted from other aggregators, I come for the comments, the discussions and the views.
It's not exactly a secret that Twitter keeps those tweets up because they're from Trump.

Oh file management - my favorite topic! I spent way too much time finding a system that works.

Everything (files, PDFs, etc) that’s important goes into DEVONthink for future referencing. The app is excellent for finding files that relate and can do things like “I think this file goes into the folder ‘water bills’ based on other files in that folder. Move it?”. It’s also e2e encrypted and syncs to multiple cloud storages at once.

Everything that’s not in DEVONthink is considered temporary. I have hazel on my Mac automatically clean up old files in locations like desktop/downloads that are older than x and move it into the trash. If something is important I have to decide this early otherwise it gets thrown (but I could restore it for a while until hazel auto-cleans my trash)

Folders like Documents/, I leave as is. If apps want to write in there they can, but I don’t consider that location important. For more important app data I use iCloud and each app writes in their iCloud specific folder.

For nuggets that refuse to write anywhere else and only into a folder inside Documents, I have hazels sync feature replicate that specific folder automatically into a other location, like inside iCloud Drive.

Then if anything goes wrong I have an arq backup :)
>If there is no spike in infections within two weeks, from areas which had large public protests in the past week, can millions of Americans be helped by restarting the economy?

Daily new infections have more than doubled here in North Carolina in the last two weeks since "reopening" [0]. We have had more new cases in the last two weeks (2200) than in the entire length of lockdown from March until then (2000). The death rate has massively spiked beginning May 24th, exactly two weeks (the median time from infection to death) from May 9th, the day the governor relaxed restrictions [1]. The dream of this thing just magically going away is absolutely delusional.

I think this is a great idea that should not be dismissed simply out of childish fears and baseless concerns about runaway cooling and so on. At the end of the day, even if something goes wrong and we completely wreck the environment, we can always go and live on our backup planet.

QE has been going on for years since 2008. Still waiting on that inflation.

QE contains an easy break on inflation. If it starts surging, the market can just have the assets the fed holds added back to it.

How big you can print depends a lot on how close you plan to look at the result. Subjectively I don't like cellphone pictures, even at small sizes where the resolution is entirely adequate: you can tell where there is less detail due to aggressive distortion correction, transitions between in focus and out of focus areas tend to be ugly etc.

Holy shit. I feel like this neatly explains why Windows 95 was an utter crash-fest on the computer I bought just before my freshman year of highschool. With an AMD K6-2 running at 350Mhz, it was the first computer I had that was all new components instead of the franken-sytems built from a dumpster-dive base and other dumpster-dived components grafted on. The shop I bought it from initially put 95 OSR2 on it. And it did like to crash. It wasn't until I started using Windows 98SE that I started to see anything resembling stability, and not need to re-install every other month.

If only I had known about AMDK6UPD.EXE back then and been able to understand the reasons behind the crash and why the patch fixed things.

In the UK (and most other countries), a 25% markup is outrageous. In the US, a 500% markup is pretty common. I don’t understand how this is not competed away. Yes, CVS offers convenience, but not more convenience than offered by a corner Tesco in the UK, which has very competitive prices.

Admittedly I haven't been following this story, but now that I see it on HN, am genuinely curious whether they were able to rule out that hardware is involved?

To be fair, QI is a civil liability problem and I was mostly talking about the criminal trial problem.

If more police were tried in criminal cases, that would make it far easier to build evidence for a civil case which could overcome the QI standard. OJ Simpson was acquitted in the murder trial, but lost his entire wealth in the subsequent civil trial to his in-laws.
The sound card just needs the up to date SOF driver. It works out of the box on Fedora 32.
In the past QE was injected from the top (thus coastal real estate and asset bubbles). But now it has been injected from the bottom too (PPP)

> I don't find much value in hypotheicals.

Your opinion doesn't change the fact that your response was invalid. You are responding to a normative, idealistic statement about universal values with your own slightly more concrete hypothetical. A misapplied exercise in practicality.

> Audi workers would never agree to convert their factory to EV had Tesla not already proven that EVs are something consumers actually want.

That seems like a hypothetical without basis. One doubts that General Motors assembly line workers were the ones who killed the EV1.

> Tesla was able to ramp up production as fast as it did because they didn't need to run every decision past a union.

There are some smart CEOs and there are dumb ones. Who's to say that the incentives given to traditional management schemes are truly correct? Businesses fail all the time. Startups, in particular, fail all of the time, and there are no shortage of egregious examples of boneheaded management decisions, or of shortsighted shareholders. Pointing to a Tesla and Musk, or to an Apple and Jobs, is simply survivorship bias.
C++ programming in the early 90s was, in retrospect, not all that much fun. templates were very underpowered and not widely implemented, the library was minimal. Everybody defined their own string and vector classes, or used products such as Rogue Wave Tools.h++, which at the time still offered macro-based container classes.

There were a lot of fumbling exploration into what kind of OO design would prove long term workable, and in what existed of the C++ standard library at the time, some classes, like iostream with its multiple inheritance and virtual base classes, may not have given particularly sound examples to emulate.

The arrival of the GoF design pattern book and of the STL were, in my opinion, massive game changers.

Well, I think it's definitely not satire. Satire generally has <article>an</article> "intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement." (source: Wikipedia). In other words satire has <article>a</article> target; it's making fun of someone or something, often with <article>the</article> goal of change. I definitely wasn't trying to mock anyone, affect change, or do anything ill-natured.

I know folks don't always click through, so I'll highlight what I found most insightful:

> Part of our misunderstanding about the nature of policing is we keep imagining that we can turn police into social workers. That we can make them nice, friendly community outreach workers. But police are violence workers. That's what distinguishes them from all other government functions. ... They have the legal capacity to use violence in situations where the average citizen would be arrested.

> So when we turn a problem over to the police to manage, there will be violence, because those are ultimately the tools that they are most equipped to utilize: handcuffs, threats, guns, arrests. That's what really is at the root of policing. So if we don't want violence, we should try to figure out how to not get the police involved.

> Political protests are a threat to the order of this system. And so policing has always been the primary tool for managing those threats to the public order. Just as we understand the use of police to deal with homelessness as a political failure, every time we turn a political order problem over to the police to manage, that's also a political failure.
That may very well be the case, it does appear to be selective enforcement - but the comment I was responding to made it sound as if the person arrested was merely related to the CEO, when she is in fact the CFO.
Useless thinking. Just think of what would happen to your siste rif she was raped and her only family was her grandma and she did not have any friends. Oh it would be the neighborhood crew saving her? That's police.

Democrats have had minimal power at the federal level since 2014, which is around when the party started seriously drifting leftward. Look at the state and local level. Cities have gotten rid of bail, states legalize marijuana, protections for trans people, hugely increased minimum wages, widespread criminal justice reform, tons of environmental laws, etc, etc. Not all Democrats are bold lefties these days, but some are, and they are actually doing shit.
Even if the individual office was fiscally responsible, their money came from taxpayers too. The community ends up paying for the damage its agents do to the community.

The police forces are managed by elected officials, who are elected by taxpayers. These politicians should be held to account by voters for either their lack of leadership on police abuse of force (my preference) or their lack of fiscal responsibility in allowing police abuse of force to continue, accruing large legal bills and settlements (and increased liability insurance costs, presumably).
The second wave and new restrictions are inevitable.
Because there's no indication of inflation let alone hyperinflation in any economic data or a 'currency crisis' whatever that means.

In fact a sharp decline in demand seems to have outweighed reduction in supply leading to if anything, deflation. (which is in line with data as inflation has slowed to about 0.3%, down a percent from last year).

Given how large the service sector is in particular in the US, and how strongly it is affected by social distancing measures, disinflationary preasures are very likely to persist for a while.
I'm so extremely grateful that I accepted section 8 tenants into my rental units. Most of these tenants have nearly all of their payment covered by the government and they just have to pay $100 or $200 on top of that to cover what the government won't.

These tenants are often not accepted by landlords because they're thought to cause more issues. Mine are great. They keep the units spotless, mow the lawn for me on my multi unit properties. When I have a tenant like this, I never raise their rent, and if they can't pay the hundred bucks the government won't I sure don't care.
Oh interesting, it looks like you're right! They do appear to be using a StereoPannerNode rather than the full 3D PannerNode[0], but that is more than just speaker attenuation.

I'd be surprised if a significant number of antidepressants had those kinds of warnings, too.

However, I guess some of them might. For example mirtazapine (Remeron) can apparently cause sleepiness in some cases, and in low doses it's even used for insomnia. AFAIK in the higher doses used for depression it shouldn't cause sleepiness as easily, though, and I don't know if it comes with a warnings label.

Considering the number of people on various kinds of antidepressants, the total number of people using some kind of a rarely used antidepressant that might have different side effects than the more common ones is probably also non-negligible.

Although a confusion between antidepressants and benzodiazepines or other anxiolytics may be more likely.

Isn't Flatpak preferable?
Here's an interview with Tom Mueller (design lead on the Merlin engine, and SpaceX's chief of propulsion from inception until he semi-retired a few years ago), talking about working with Elon. The most relevant anecdote is Elon demanding he find a way to get rid of some large and expensive valves -- which Mueller initially thought impractical, but he tried anyway at the boss's insistence, and wound up with a much cheaper, lighter, more reliable engine he was really pleased with. Elon didn't do all the detail work necessary to make that happen, and perhaps he couldn't (there's a reason he keeps paying everyone else), but it's odd to deny he has a role in the process.

The limitation is that CoreMediaIO plugins still run in-process (and not just in some daemon but in arbitrary application processes!), when Apple's direction for over a decade has been to move all plugin mechanisms towards an out-of-process model. There's nothing about video plugins in particular that would prevent them from being out-of-process; in fact, most of Apple's CoreMediaIO plugins already have the bulk of the logic in a separate "assistant" process, but the IPC layer is reimplemented by each individual plugin rather than being done generically by CoreMediaIO itself. It's clear what has to happen, but Apple hasn't done it yet.

In some places, like Oakland and Tahoe, rent seems to be going up. But in San Francisco it is going down. Probably all as a result of people fleeing San Francisco to nearby places with a cheaper rent per square foot.
I guess it depends on how you define long term. I do have friends who think the lockdown should last in its current form (ie extended holiday with extra $600/week for the unemployed) until there's a vaccine.

Flattening the curve was the refrain but we seem to have forgotten that.
> All of those things were based on evidence of the time, and then they updated their stance as they got new evidence.

If the evidence is weak they shouldn't make a pronouncement or say "we don't know". The public recognizes these people as experts and when the stance changes so quickly it gives the impression they don't know what they are doing.

How is the public supposed to differentiate between whether the current CDC message is a solid fact or something based on weak evidence that might change tomorrow? Sometimes its better to just say nothing.

You're looking in the wrong place. QE doesn't go to families, so it doesn't increase the cost of milk, apples, or eggs. It went to the wealthiest banks and corporations, and wouldya look at that -- asset prices are inflated, "startups" have absurd valuations, and the wealth gap is larger than ever before.

The inflation is there, clear as day. You're just not looking in the right place and you think you're so smart because of it.
That really would be the best legislation. A simple calc of the rent of the first 12 months of the lease becomes the base rent.
I have a commercial tenant who was forced to shut down their business during the lockdown. I just waived rent until they were allowed to reopen. You can't get blood from a turnip, and I really don't want to force them into default and try to find another tenant in this environment anyway.

Almost everybody is taking a haircut this year.
I think the only effect of that would be to prevent landlords from giving free months of rent - better to lose a tenant than permanently have lower rents which may not be sustainable.
Sure, it’s a rough situation. He lived beyond his means and sank due to the black swan. Now, if the story was about repossessing the truck he needed to drive to a food pantry, I’d have a bit more sympathy.

The loan company should be barred from repossessing for generating subprime auto loans or whatever these are called, but this was still directly caused by lack of financial awareness.

Unfortunately, as part of the unfolding of the post 2008 recession, a lot of rentals shifted from individual or smaller landlords to larger corporate landlords whom take a much more impersonal approach to making it through the depression. To some degree, to the extent they can take out holdover loans and let rentals sit empty, they will do just that - irregardless of the social utility of compromise.
