> Chinese society likely could censor, given the prevalence of mining in that country and their government's love of interference.

What are they censoring? All transactions? They can only do self-harm in this manner because they must expend large amounts of electricity, perpetually, in order to keep up their censorship, and they don't know what they're censoring. This is assuming that they do indeed have the ability to 51% attack Bitcoin, and that the rest of the world is unable to use the nuclear option of changing their software clients to bypass the 51% attack. (Mining is not the ultimate arbiter of the correct chain - individuals are the ultimate arbiter via their choice of software client). A nuclear option would make all of their hardware immediately useless and eliminate any influence over Bitcoin they may have.

> And various governments can and have seized bitcoin. This is a fairy tale.

They can seize Bitcoin if you leave your private keys on an unencrypted machine, or if you leave your 12 word written phrase lying around at home.

They can't seize your seed phrase or passphrase from your head, which can deterministically generate your bitcoin wallet on any machine. They can't seize it from an encrypted disk either, unless you reveal to them the keys to decrypt it.

In the UK they may be able to force you to hand over keys for decryption or threaten you with 2 years of jail time. Not in the USA.

The point was that, Bitcoin can be made unseizable because it is merely information. This is very unlike dollars, gold, or other physical commodities which can be seized by force, or threat of force, which has been done before - EO 6102. An attempt to try and emulate EO 6102 for Bitcoin would result in a very different outcome.
Yes, Adobe makes Flash Projector:

• Windows: https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/3...

• Mac: https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/3...

• Linux: https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/3...

You can just open the swf file you want and run it directly. It's great.

Linux users might alternately want to use the community-packaged Flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.adobe.Flash-Player-Proj... All other links come from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.ht...

Kind of stupid that these will also presumably be removed from Adobe's official download page, since this is exactly how Flash content ought to be run going forwards: as individual legacy files you've downloaded and inspected. I would advise downloading and backing up a copy now.
Your definition is a bit circular, friend. :)
Looks like that package is part of the AppStream collection and therefore does not have the same guarantees as the core packages. That's at least what some quick googling told me.

RHEL and CentOS have pretty good backporting support for packages that they support, but most installs of them that I have seen use/include packages from other collections that are not supported, which is of course the wrong way to do it.
It’s a major part of common law which was inherited from England. Pre-Revolution, even English court cases, can be persuasive in modern US courts because of this history.
> no offense to the author of this particular framework.

Yeah I don't wanna target the author in particular but the daily releases of these `frameworks` is getting a bit comical.
Why do you consider this a shitshow? To me, it just looks like a thread of people discussing whether to change the name of the software project.
Microsoft's best OS of all time was Windows 2000. Imho, Snow Leopard was Apple's best.

There is something nice about a bug free operating system that "just works" as intended. No problems, no hassles. No load times, even back then. Back then it was common to have a computer with 128MB+ of ram but Windows 2000 ran on 64MB of that, so it was the first non page file heavy OS that just snapped. In comparison, a year later Windows XP could use over 256MB of ram before getting to the same speed, and this was when computer magazines were recommending less than 512MB of ram, because it was overkill.

Today computers are fast, but Catalina feels quite a bit slower than Windows 2000 did when it came out, and Catalina is quite a bit more buggy.

Extreme system stability is nice, but I question if most people even know what that is like.
> A better title would be “Supreme Court holds that Title VII prohibits gay, transgender employment discrimination.”

If someone wants to suggest a better (more accurate and neutral) title that fits in 80 chars, we can change it above. We can't use the phrase "gay, transgender employment discrimination", though, because someone will complain that it's an ambiguous noun phrase.
Don't get too caught up on the definitions of words. What they are arguing is that many things have been attempted to rein in the tails, and they have all failed. An engineer has to look at a series of failures and find new solutions, not the same old ones that keep failing. Sometimes that means redesign from scratch.
Main thing its missing which i miss daily is bundles. Auto travel bundle was super helpful. Also it had a better ui..
We should boycott Hacker News for letting people link to so many git repos that are hosted on GitHub which also hosts ICE repos.
Haruki Murakami Short Stories
The likelihood of a potential vendor to actually be able to supply what they say they will has long been a consideration for government agencies. The novel thing here is that "political winds may change" is not normally considered a good reason to have that doubt for a US based company.
And why is that relevant? Age you assuming that most people in this thread liked Obama's immigration policies?
They can similarly create a new FROM address for the campaign then to get around Hey?
Just file a chargeback for this kind of thing. If you got charged for something and "did not actually receive the goods/services" (in this case a convenient gas fill up), then this is exactly what they were designed for.

Of course, you have to ask for a refund first, but after doing so, skip the hassle and just charge it back.

They'll have to pay additional penalties, which discourages this kind of behavior in the first place.
It is the few that speak the loudest and will _never_ be happy, no matter what. There will always be something that needs to be changed.
Windows 2000 is my favorite windows version. I like the color scheme and how lightweight (from today's perspective) it is. A vm of win2000 and office 2003 is a good option for old office file comparability.
> Sure, there are also some people who violate gun laws. But those people could be a threat to everyone, not just cops, yet surely we wouldn’t justify everyone to preemptively have their guns drawn in all human interactions.

Not necessarily drawn, but isn't that pretty much the reason you have public carry laws in the first place? Surely even the worst of cars does provide sufficient protection against roaming coyotes and mountain lions. The only predator left to fear is another human.
So you don't like the questions the term "concentration camp" makes you ask about the indefinite detention of foreign nationals for misdemeanor offenses?

Maybe the term isn't the problem and the policy you are trying to defend is
> It's the same bad precedent that they've been using for decades

It's not a bad precedent, it's a precedent interpreting a bad law. It's on congress to write laws. Congress could change this law any time they want. The court can only interpret law, they can't reverse a law just because a majority of people don't like it.

If the law hasn't changed since the last time they heard the case, there's no point in them hearing any more cases because there is nothing new to discuss from a legal standpoint.

There's an election in November in case anyone's interested.
I would love to see him critique a niche tracker like goattracker or SID Factory II :)
An LLC doesnt protect you from actions you personally take, even in some cases where you were ordered by your employer to take the action (like violating the FLSA or CRA, for example).

QI protects officers from their personal actions. So QI is nothing like the limited liability provided by forming a corporaton or llc.
Think of the pigs!
It's not difficult at all, you're right.

This particular framework is kind of a shortcut if you don't want to start from a blank css file and want to throw a web app together quickly.

Also, there are differences here from most other classless css frameworks because this mixes classless, atomic css and some swiftui like helpers for maximum html impact

This issue gets litigated to death on here. This is about the launch of a new product, not whether you had fun working at home during quarantine, come on
2000 was so stable, and ran well in 128mb ram. It also introduced Active Directory with group policies, which still runs the majority of business Windows networks today (*source: I made that up)
The blog post:

> what Oxide is doing is building computers that are suitable for hyperscalers, but selling them, rather than building another public cloud. These computers will have hardware and software designed together to create excellent systems.

Their website:

> We are building a new kind of server. True rack-scale design, bringing cloud hyperscale innovations around density, efficiency, cost, reliability, manageability, and security to everyone running on-premises compute infrastructure.

A puff piece [1]:

> Oxide's mission is to create a server using standard x86 processors from companies like Intel or AMD that strips away a lot of the extraneous software that ships with a mainstream server, giving customers a "clean sheet" designed for their operating system, infrastructure, and application requirements. [...] computers for which the software and hardware were designed in concert tend to deliver better performance and reliability than all-purpose off-the-rack servers [...] Those retail servers are still designed as one-size-fits-all boxes that must accommodate all of the ways a potential customer might use those servers, which means they ship with a lot of extraneous firmware. "What we're cleaning up throughout the bottom of the stack just makes it all run better and [makes it] more debuggable," said Frazelle, the startup's chief product officer.

I think i understand what they are offering - hardware that is better for building private clouds on - but not how they plan to deliver it. After all, they aren't making their own CPUs, drives, or RAM, are they? They get to design the motherboard, firmware, and enclosure - anything else? They must think there's enough juice there to be able to outweigh the brand value and economies of scale that Dell, HPE, etc have.

I just walked through the CHAZ yesterday and there was no-one guarding any borders or anyone verifying “citizenship”.
Equating government contracts to service at a bagel shop is naive at best.
"If I don't mug this person wandering lost & alone at night, someone else will." - 'someone else will' is not a very good argument or justification for your actions.
With Ethereum contracts the cost of validation is expensive, and for proof of work you need a function that is expensive to run, but cheap to verify (the inverse of SHA-256 is such a function).

The main concern against proof of stake is what you just described actually: it doesn't cost money to create, but as the value of staking is part of the cryptocurrency, a malicious party could get and stake of a lot of that cryptocurrency, create a leveraged short contract to protect itself, then reverse the transaction.

Another example would be using protein folding for cancer research for example, which sounds a noble cause, but it creates an incentive for drug companies to be miners, and could lead to even bigger centralization of mining than what is already happening.
I think that there is no need to change these things. If you make a new version control system, then you can use whichever name you think is best (presumably whichever one is most descriptive, but not too long), but we need not change existing ones, nor change projects using them to use different names.

I personally don't use git, but the naming of the default branch has nothing to do with it. I use Fossil, which uses "trunk" as the name for the default branch. I don't know what reason they chose this, but I don't really care much; I just use that because it is the software I use (even if some people hate it, which I suppose is inevitable).

I also think that other terminology such as blacklist/whitelist, master/slave, etc need not be changed, unless the old terms are confusing or incorrect, which in some contexts there is the possibility that they might be. In some cases, such as motherboard vs mainboard, BC/AD vs BCE/CE, both sets of terms are in use so it is helpful to know them.

Political correctness has gone mad (although this is nothing new, really).
As soon as they've told you what they're going to do, you're probably an accomplice if you keep it to yourself. Your career at the company is probably toast at that point anyway. At least a paper trail helps to protect you from criminal complaints.
Why not communications? Neutrino-based communication is borderline ideal. A properly-aimed low-energy beam will make it to its target, obstructed or not.
What's a grad school?

(not joking. Not a US citizen)
It really depends. In this case, the Court interpreted an act of law enacted by Congress[1]. Congress has the authority to set statutory law as they see fit, and are fully within their rights to pass a bill that clarifies their intent, by either cementing the interpretation of the Court or by contradicting it. After which, that is the new law of the land, superseding the previous opinion of the court where it may have differed.

It's different if the opinion were based on Constitutional grounds. Congress can rewrite laws they've passed as they see fit, potentially rendering Supreme Court rulings based on them moot in the process. They don't have the luxury of rewriting the Constitution though, so Court rulings based on Constitutional law have significantly more lasting power. Once the precedence of that opinion is set, the freedom of Congress to do what they want in that area becomes heavily constrained. They can still pass laws that contradict that opinion, but will likely end up with a fast track in front of the Supreme Court having to convince the Court on why their law shouldn't be stricken down as unconstitutional based on that prior precedence.

>It's time for legislators to legislate. Many of our current problems can be traced back to our legislature failing to do anything.

Congress has sent 300+ bills to the Senate and McConnell wont even debate them.

Half the Legislature is doing something. The other half is stalling.
Nissan sued the guy(named nissan) for infringement so I think he got pissed. Notably his small computer shop(bearing his name) predated Nissan operating as Nissan(vs. Datsun) in America.

Similar things -- peloton.com is not the smartbike, chopt.com is not the salad place(but a sailboat sales company).
I have. And you know what, civil rights laws did jack all to protect me. I'm much happier knowing that the people that operate that business were racist jerks (instead of, say, them being forced to serve me and spit in my food, which would be a health concern), and I have dissuaded probably on the order of a hundred people from going to that place, and that was in the era before social media.
If you're trying to weave a workout into your day, isometric exercises are the quickest exercise. You just need floor space. A dumb-bell or two for the upper arms and torso, put somewhere that you won't stub your toe (you will stub your toe anyway)

Pullups are the trickiest. At the time there was a staircase with open treads near my apartment.
Considering this has been around since 1982 I would say both parties have enough blame to go around.

Congress has to do this so that Courts can rely on law to determine if an offense occurred. The problem we face is that many in Congress will want to lump into a much larger bill with some very untenable items knowing that as such it cannot pass. This is called virtue signaling which has been practiced far too often by Congress.

One simple bill, up and down.

I was surprised that there are very few PC cases made for small NAS. So this solution of buying a consumer product and installing FreeNAS on it makes sense.

Yes, but you would also sell the call for 0.80.
Source code is a company’s Crown Jewels. Who can take the risk that their business will be shut down because an employee tweeted something 8 years ago that is now out of favour? At least Git by it’s very nature protects you but you would still have your issue tracker and CICD pipeline held to ransom.

Justice Alito's dissent makes exactly this argument.
I would guess they would tell you "because it isn't personally guaranteed", which absolves you as an individual of financial risk.

Personally I'd be really excited to see better loans being offered to startups, but this isn't it.

EDIT: Also you're assuming a 7 year payback period, and I would guess it's a lot shorter than that for the average indie VC customer.
Kind of expected more from "maximalist", like tons of components. It seems well-rounded though, to cover common needs.

To nitpick for feedback:

- I'd prefer more spacing for headers, labels, input fields

- The checkbox and its label might look better if they aligned perfectly with radio inputs.

- Clicking on checkbox label changes the selection, but it doesn't with radio labels.

- Clicking on range input makes the whole thing go down a pixel or two. That effect looks OK on buttons, but not for range (in my opinion).
This seems to be so many words about nothing. There are things like Catalyst and Swift UI, which I wont even use the word "half baked" to describe it.

I think he is too focused on the possibilities of removing Cocoa, ( which is still great by modern standard ). And bringing the iOS model across to Mac.
I definitely think this line of reasoning pays off well, and is isn't really an "extreme example". The point is to establish the "sometimes it's the right thing to do", to unequivocally prove that the discussion should be re-framed.

I've posited the same argument around violence. Most people, in my experience, wouldn't fault a Jew for violently resisting the Nazis. In fact, many resistance groups are held in very high regard. So immediately the questions necessarily moves from "is violence sometimes allowed?" to "when is violence allowed?". Which, if nothing else, is very much a more interesting discussion to have.
One practical example of this hyper local data would be for automatic gardening. In LA, the temperature can range 20 degrees in 10 miles on a given day. It can be cool and cloudy by the beach and hot and sunny by downtown. This makes Dark Sky the only weather app that is somewhat accurate in LA.

If you are gardening in LA, and you knew the hyper local wind conditions in your plot, the light level, and the ambient moisture, you could develop an automatic watering solution for your garden that is truly hands free in all operation and can be customized based on individual plants needs. Many existing auto watering systems use soil sensors that are known to corrode and need replacement, so if you can infer soil moisture content from other non corrosive means that would be much preferred. You'd probably want to use the soil sensors at least initially to get an understanding of the function between your weather data and the particular soil composition of a given plant, but then they wouldn't have to be continually replaced.

After the recent very hot and dry winds from the desert (normally wind comes west) killed off some of my more temperamental plants last week, I'm thinking about some sort of automatic solution like this.
To me one of the issues is if companies have to toe political lines, then every new change of administration potentially means disruption. The alternative is the government doing more things in-house which pushes up costs.

So in the end this is posturing (aka signaling).

Can Boeing see a conflict of interest via a vis a military conflict and say, no to the DoD because they like some baddie the USG might tangle with? Now in reality this wouldn’t happen because of USG buying power... but put that aside.
Even the "110%" number is apt to be correct, as someone has probably sold one of those derivatives short.
I don’t get the hate on this offering. It’s a huge gamble for sure, but the upside is there if they pull it off.

However, as long as someone isn’t betting their life savings on this I don’t see or take any issue with it.
It's a bit anarchic, but the idea of using semantic elements for presentation purposes is why I did this.

Usually when debugging accessibility things I turn on the screen reader and hear how the site feels as I navigate around. I'll definitely do this before each release going forward.

The people who "win" at Pyramid schemes aren't (IMO OFC) winning through luck, they're winning by being the people that set them up.
