I'm not sure what the US administration is doing, but I won't be surprised if they are going to manage this as good as the virus pandemic, i.e. that they are completely oblivious to what's happening and what to do with it.

Since it's not in my interests to find one day an angry mob at my house, I'm tempted to give some advice regarding the "crowd management". The nation is like a bowl with liquid: the bowl is the borders that contain it and emotions is the force that drives the liquid particles. The exact equation describing this liquid doesn't matter much. What matters is that just like any liquid like substances contained in something, it has resonance modes and resonance frequencies. If there is an external periodic driving force (emotions in our case), the frequency of the force is going to find one of the resonance modes and once the mode is found, the amplitude grows exponentially. Time to find this mode depends on the strength (amplitude) of the driving force. The way to prevent or even stop the resonance is to keep changing the driving frequency: then the liquid forms steady patterns.

White supremacists are actively trying to fly under the radar in open-carry protests right now.[1] There’s a lot of weird noise in that area online and off. So just because white supremacists and their sympathizers get to protest, that doesn’t mean other people get to protest? Sounds like separate but equal to me.[2] Not for me or mine.

This was your hypothetical, but it’s actually reality. Protest is protest. It’s for the whole society to decide what are valid forms of it, at every level.

On a more serious note, until there is a protocol and implementation available then we can't say anything for sure. Us Security folks aren't magicians.

”The study used a nationally representative sample of 2,114 people from 33 states and the District of Columbia to study opposition to and support for BLM. Data were collected in 2016, with researchers asking people how much they had heard about BLM. Those who said they had heard a lot or a little were asked a follow-up question about their level of support for or opposition to the movement. People who were unfamiliar with BLM were excluded from the study, as were those who said they didn't know or declined to answer. In all, 31% of the people interviewed opposed BLM.”

A mark of any free democratic society is for the right of the public to engage in peaceful protest and for the form of that peaceful protest to be not be constrained by external parties.

For example it is not up to the government to define what constitutes an acceptable peaceful protest.

When you get to the point where the government defines what is and what is not an acceptable protest then you no longer have a free democracy society.
Some on a USB hardware dongle under lock and key. We also run HSMs and the key cards to those require quorum. So the CTO, Founder and head of devops each have multiple cards at home and work such that any two of them can make a quorum with all their cards, or all three can make a quorum with some of their cards.
Do you trust the sort of CEO who'd make those statements to "protect you" for the $20/month you're paying?

I suggest looking elsewhere instead of supporting Zoom.

I tried to fully switch my work environment to NixOS 2 or 3 years ago. I really like the concept and I think it's a very good approach to reproducible build environments, in theory it's much cleaner than the massive data replication you get with e.g. Docker.

I only lasted for a month or two though, for a couple of reasons. The main one was that I had a lot of trouble with Python packages - Nix suggests a certain approach for dealing with them which didn't work very well for me and I didn't manage to set up an alternative that I liked. (For Haskell I loved working with Nix though!) A lot of software I use also wasn't available in the repositories and I tried to build some packages but found the Nix language a bit obtuse. The basic syntax and logic are not too hard but I still found many of the packages I used as examples very confusing.

In the end I'm back to Ubuntu using Docker whenever I need reproducible environments.
Seems like it would be a cool side project to create a minimal iOS app that simply acts as a share target for this. Similarly for android and Windows. That would make it much easier to send. You’d still have to either visit the site or scan the QR code to receive, but making sending smoother would be a dramatic improvement.

AirDrop is one of those things that is truly wonderful in how easily and simply it works, but makes me really annoyed with Apple for not opening it and allowing it to be cross platform. Android had something similar for a while but it barely worked, and Google never put any effort into making an iOS app (which obviously would not have been as good as native, but better than nothing). Bluetooth itself has a function of airdrop-like sharing actually, but it was mainly used for spam and it’s basically nonexistent in modern mobile Bluetooth stacks. Something like AirDrop that truly works well cross-platform but wasn’t easy to spam would be so wonderful.

"Rioting and looting don't generally kill people... Peaceful protests get ignored or mocked."

Can you find a large episode of rioting and looting without any death toll? Even the 2011 London riots led to the deaths of five people.

The bigger issue though is that the current situation is starting to turn counterproductive. The only way to eventually fix things is with politics. Protests are politics.

But violence eventually takes a life of its own. Already now there are overwhelming evidence various third party actors are interfering. Soon this turns into an order vs chaos issue, and guess in who's favour that framing would play out?

The protests can no longer be ignored, now is the time to step back and to do whatever can be done to make this peaceful - before people forget why the protests started in the first place.

According to the article, they don't yet have end-to-end encryption yet. It's still under development.
While I understand the tradeoff they took, it also means there’s no end to end encryption if any of the party is not paying.

Imagine being in a call with 4 people, 3 of you are paying customers and you’ll need to ask the fourth to also pay Zoom to get encryption. It’s a bad deal for the paying users as well.
Are they somehow obfuscating their binaries, or are they simply LLVM output? Is it your belief that straightforward compiler output is somehow infeasible to verify?
The "extra" polysilicon region is a capacitor made of silicon and polysilicon. These capacitors were a "bootstrap load", essentially a way to drive a transistor harder to get a stronger output. The capacitors you're looking at are for the instruction register to drive the signals through the instruction decoder (basically a PLA). Since the decoder is fairly large, the signals into it need to be boosted. I haven't looked at this for several years, so I may be wrong about some of this.

More amazing than the fact that the Erlichmans thought this non-denial denial meant anything at all, is that any other human ever agreed with them. Were they in White House strategy meetings as part of some foredoomed bring-all-five-of-your-sniveling-runts-to-the-office event? Did they think it was racist for their father to have admitted Nixon's racism? "There was no racism in government in the 1960s!" Yeah, sure, pull the other one.
The headline is a bit weirdly qualified. “X-War-Era” usually refers to something from the time of but not directly associated with the war. This is, in fact, a Civil War pension.
A nit: I think it's safe to say the brutality and lack of accountability has been baked into the system from the start. It's only recently that we've been able to record and share it.

Symmetry Investments | Senior Software Engineers and DevOps | REMOTE or VISA (London, Hong Kong, Singapore) | D, Julia, other functional and systems languages | Full-Time, Fixed Term, Flexible

Symmetry Investments is a post startup c. 5bn alternative asset management company with around 175 people across multiple time zones and locations. Our core technology team has been remote first for some time, and the whole company is following suit, post-COVID.

I'm one of the three people running the firm, responsible amongst other things for technology across the firm and I’m posting this myself. That should give you an idea both about how seriously we take technology and the culture of the firm.

We are three years into a period of transformation from initially a fairly standard enterprise finance approach to technology to something new that recognises the importance of both the humane and the technical for discretionary portfolio management and for the business of running an alternative investment manager.

It's not easy to integrate practitioners who may spend most of their day programming but are oriented towards solving their business problems with developers who are specialists in programming. To achieve this, we wrote a little functional DSL that's now in production. Type inference of returns and parameters using inequality constraints is in a feature branch and there is plenty more to do on the language itself as well as the ecosystem around it. What might be a project in itself elsewhere can be just a set of functions in Symmetry Integration Language.

The language is written in D, we hosted dconf last year and will do so again this year. So we are looking for outstanding native code developers who would like to write D as well as people to work with practitioners writing Symmetry Integration Language. Also looking for people to write documentation and work on the build.

It's quite a creative place where we encourage a degree of courage amidst practical constraints, and we are open to doing things a different way if it's commercially sound and in the interests of our investors.

We look for virtues and capabilities over only experience and credentials although those things aren't a disadvantage. Do not let a lack of credentials or qualifications prevent you from applying. We've recently hired experts with C++, Common Lisp, D, Haxe, Julia and Perl backgrounds, and are happy to bring them up to speed with our stack.

Compensation is currently not quite at Netflix standards but is generous to very generous over time by broad technology industry standards. We recognise and reward technical accomplishment and have a very flat structure.

I believe it means same subnet, but it's possible that it only works behind a NAT because it uses an out-of-network service (Firebase) to tell it who's on a single network (i.e. who has the same public IP).
On certain systems, there are tools that make them feel more native. Eg. on Dolphin Smalltalk which ran on Microsoft Windows, you can run a utility to stripped off the unnecessary parts (eg. the browser/editors and unused classes) of the image and it gets bundled into an .exe which includes a VM. A user wouldn't know it's running Smalltalk.

It turned out to be an excellent tool to write Windows app during its time. The live environment worked extremely well in working with and figuring out ActiveX and COM objects.. Even better than VS Studio at that time.
I'm always amazed by the sanctity Americans attach to the constitution, as if it was personally brought down from the mountain by Thomas Jefferson carved into stone tablets.

As you say, the US constitution was one of the first attempts at a constitution in the modern period. The people who wrote it were not experts on writing constitutions, and could not benefit from the experience of previous constitutions. It should not be at all surprising that it isn't very good.

I googled it; sure enough, can't find UK police vehicles with one. Perhaps it's a policy decision where clearing a road is left to tow trucks, which would take longer to arrive. Obviously there's separate liability there in allowing the police to do the "pushing". And perhaps, in a country of more compact dimensions, the added 1+ft in vehicle length is considered to be not worth the benefit.
Looks like it was larger than I thought!

Thanks for giving this overview! Are you using the web version or the Zoom app?

(I suspect many people on HN are using the web version because Zoom pushes their app aggressively and in an abusive way, which immediately makes the more paranoid among us decide that they don't want it. And I've heard that the installed version is great while the web version is not.)
The thread is very good and offers some reasonable points putting their decision in perspective.

There's a sentence in the article that is a bit misleading (or at least unclear from the phrasing):

"AAVE speakers use 'be' to mark a habitual grammatical aspect not explicitly distinguished in Standard English."

Standard American English does have explicit ways to mark habitual aspect[0], however it lacks one for the present tense (which is how habitual "be" is used in AAVE). Personally, I think Standard American English would benefit from adopting it.

As an aside, I've never understood that joke about Clinton. Was it a reference to something in particular?

[0] For example there is "used to" for the past tense, "would" for the past tense, "will" for an unspecified time, and a combined form with the present progressive:

So what's your thoughts on the republican strategy on reducing voter turnout, by e.g. preventing mail ballots? Republican politicians even admitted if more people vote we would never get in power, to justify their actions.

The problem with your both sides argument is that if there is one side who does the majority (at least in över the last decade, just look at the strategy papers for gerrymandering supreme Court stacking... Let's not forget the farce of the impeachment process) saying "both sides do it" is essentially excusing the behaviour of the side that does it the majority of times.

I am surprised that people in biology are trying to build predictive theories.

Even in physics the moment one needs to deal with a number of strongly interactive components, we cannot calculate from the first principles. We still have no theory for high-temperature superconductors. We even cannot calculate properties of metallic hydrogen. And this is the simplest material that can exist, just a soup of electrons and protons.
That's a significantly better explanation, and they're really between a rock and a hard place.
