I agree it's a bit wishy-washy. But that's what it means. Everyone (in the U.S.) when they say whites, they pretty much always mean anyone with white skin who have European heritage.

Yup, so even if some poor Croatian guy just got off the boat, as long as he looked white enough for Americans, some of them would say he benefited from American slavery of blacks and must renounce his white privilege.
I agree. There is a wide literature in poli sci about principal-agent / contract theory -- what incentive parties and legislators have to actually implement the policies they stand for and how does the incomplete contract of voting actually achieve this (or not). But this is a slightly unrelated question to whether or not people are better at understanding what the parties claim to stand for.

I'm betting there will be a huge perceived speed boost simply because Apple will have full control over the device's stack. I'm sure they'll find ways to better optimize the OS for the hardware.

What I /am/ curious to see is if the CPU options shrink per device - i.e. will there be one A-series SoC for "pro-level" computers and one for "consumer", will there be different clock speeds, etc. We'll have to wait until they announce hardware - I'm assuming at their September/Fall event.
The Rocket Equation is important for rockets because they cannot pause and refuel like cars or even airplanes can. There's no compromise or trade-off in the rocket equation. For cars or airplanes you can have a smaller tank and more refuelling. Obviously for airplanes there is some minimal tank size where you can't actually take off, and some maximal tank size where your airplane doesn't have any usable cargo/passenger space.

The limit for cars is almost always tires, as it is in this case. Or rather the interface between tires and the road. Weight always deforms the road surface, more weight deforms the road more, and at a certain point the road quickly breaks down.

Thus, governments put weight limits on vehicles [0]. In my state, it's 20,000 pounds for a single axle (it assumes you will be using a truck and loading the rear axle).

If we take that 20,000 pounds and subtract 2,000 for the cabin and the rest of the drivetrain, you could have 18,000 pounds of batteries. I think 18,000 pounds of batteries could take you a long long way.

As a cross reference, a Commercial Drivers License is only required at 26,000 pounds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_driver%27s_license

The anonymous e-mail that Sign-In with Apple generates forwards to the e-mail used to set up your Apple ID. So it's not like it's a random e-mail that acts as a /dev/null.

This is by far the biggest selling point of Sign-In with Apple for me and I will continue to use it, and continue to not use apps that don't support it. I have plenty of e-mail aliases, but having an alias auto-generated for you is very convenient, and not having to generate a secure password is also very convenient.

The day AnyList gets hacked (not saying it will - but it's highly likely, the way security has taken a backseat due to "features") then at least my personal e-mail and password won't be there for every hacker on Earth to see and try to spam passwords to get into all of my other accounts.
This is exactly why I miss my university library. Even though the main branch of my local public library is probably slightly biased towards non-fiction, in terms of total works (though it's drowned out when you add the other branches in), the level of stuff just isn't academic, and it's often almost impossible to find good academic stuff. The local university library sadly isn't much better. I never realized how much I was spoiled by a good university library until I didn't have access to it anymore.

How much does tire sidewall stiffness contribute to the force holding the car up? I know that can vary a lot. Some cars have run-flats that won't sag when they lose pressure (or won't sag as much, anyway). Low profile tires probably transfer more of the load through the sidewall than doughnut tires.

And of course the contribution from the sidewalls (as a percent) will change as tire pressure increases.
Actually, from my readings I have the perception that the DoD was against the invasion of Iraq. But some elites decided that Iraq was going to be invaded and invaded it was.

Now somebody has decided that China is very bad, and here we are discussing how bad they are. Despise that in 1989 they massacred their population literally in the center of their capital, a few years later and until recently the investment in China grow exponentially. But, they are starting to be too powerful, so, they are not funny anymore. Now, we have to block their mobile apps.

What happened to Saudi Arabia by the way? Why are not the independent media talking about the relationship with them in the same way they talk about Iran?
No, but you replied to GP in defense of "denouncing hatred and bigotry" (something they didn't even argue against) without directly addressing a pretty important point, i.e. dehumanization (which they did).

Was there another way I should have read your comment with that in mind?
point 3 is only true for G Suite customers - if someone is on O365 and signs up for Google normally with their company account, they can access that email after their company turns off access to the email unless they also specifically reset the Google password.
Oh yeah. They began advertising thedonald.win last year.
Not quite though. The right -- including libertarians -- often advocate for regulation, just less. You would be hardpressed to find a lot of libertarians disagreeing on whether or not people should be able to protest in privately owned public spaces. For example, sidewalks are privately owned in the United States, but you are allowed to hold a protest on one.
Russia's army is small compared with it's glory days during the USSR and we all know what happened then.

In these days, Europe easily outspends Russia and it's army IS bigger.

The F-35 is also better than the Su-57 and Russia has no 5th generation fighter :)

Besides that, Russias naval fleet is stuck behind Ukraine. I don't think they like that :)

For Africans to be considered reverse racists, they would have to rob Europeans to the point of poverty/death, enslave them for 400+ years, attempt multiple genocides and mass executions of the European people, deprive Europeans of education and economic equity for centuries based on skin color, engage in state assisted terrorism, THEN continue to promote hatred and acts of violence against them on Reddit.

Yes I agree, after all these things occur, we can call it "reverse racism" and drop the ban hammer.
> YouTube's algorithm suppresses LGBTQ content more than usual

Similar story with Tumblr. I had been using Tumblr for a good many years, for non-pornographic use/material (I shoot landscapes and buildings, and I liked the way I could post/group my photos). It pissed me off though when they (Tumblr) clamped down on sexual content, because it really hurt the LGBTQIA+ communities. A similar clamp down on Pinterest also made me drop them equally fast.

I don't know what conservative agenda they took on, but there were other ways to "protect the sensitive eyes" of their conservative users, without shutting down freedom of expression.

I'm mostly tired of "TV series", at least the ones that are so very obviously following the same formula, with tons of drama just for the sake of drama etc.

Instead I watch interesting mini-documentaries, how-to's etc on YouTube, learning about history, food, electronics etc.

However YouTube is annoying, the ads are worse than regular TV now. I'm actually surprised Netflix hasn't branched off into this space. They could have done a Spotify-like thing but for videos.

They have all the infra for serving the content, they just need content creators. Sure it would be in competition with their more traditional video content, but as it stands YouTube gets those views anyway...
All people regularly get shot by the police for committing crime and other kinds of violence. Whether they're black white or something else. If many of them happen to be black, that's not an indication of bias on the part of the police.

Just a simple substitution, and now we see that this is just bad thinking.
There was no attack. Someone read the protocol specs and used them within the allowed borders of said protocol specs to tell the protocol to generate some revenue for them. End of story.
Most banks and grocery stores are private businesses and being openly racist isn’t a protected class, so it should be up to them, no?

You vote with your wallet. If you don't want to patronize Apple, go with Android, or find some other phone and browser vendor.

Also, you mention without evidence that Apple's actions have no relation to the safety or privacy of users. Are you claiming that their actions are merely a pretext, and that Apple provides no such value, or that they have no such intent? If so, how do you know?
You'd basically just be measuring the maximum width of the contact patch, not its area. The best solution would be to lift up each tire, put a piece of paper under it, let the car down, then remove it, measuring the darkened area.

Sign-In with Apple is a (mostly) standard OpenID Connect provider that works everywhere (and works just like sign in with FB, Google, et al from a technical implementation), including the Web and Android. It's an interesting miscommunication or misunderstanding (and I was not surprised to see it in this article) that applications and developers think the "Sign in with Apple" button should only show up on Apple devices. It should show up on the web and in Android apps, Apple only requires it on Apple devices because that's the only devices that they control.

I wish Apple communicated that better and/or developers better understood that Sign in with Apple really is a FB/Google/social login button like all of the others and should be supported everywhere, not just Apple devices.

(I'm in the iOS/Windows dual mode user team myself these days and find that I trust Sign-In with Apple, but I've definitely had to already email developers to request that they add the Sign-In with Apple button to websites and explain why they would/should.)

> Supporting Maduro doesn't invalidate their fight. Supporting marxism doesn't invalidate their fight. Supporting Cuba doesn't invalidate their fight.

That’s exactly what I said:

> I’m quite pro-BLM. I don’t believe in guilt by association.

I’m responding to an entirely different point:

> The worst of the alt-right are far, far worse than the worst of the extreme left

I don’t think this statement is accurate given how many people on the extreme left embrace murderers like Maduro. Violent extremism is a problem on both sides.

As to Pan Am Post, your assertion that it’s a “far right” site is exactly why so many people are concerned about Twitter and Facebook censorship. Pan Am Post is libertarian with a Latin American focus both in terms of content and the contributors. From Wikipedia:

> According to Richard Scheines, dean of the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences of Carnegie Mellon University, PanAm Post is "an incredibly rich online site that covers news and offers excellent analyses of all regions in the Americas".[6][7] In 2019 and 2020, the PanAm Post was ranked in a Forbes article as one of the most prominent free-market magazines in the world measured by social media impact.[8][9]

"Especially not compared to a guy wearing a well tailored suit."

I think you got it wrong. That suit guy has to wear it, because his trade demands it, most likely for that image which has to be conveyed. That programmer can afford to wear that hoodie and still to demand his salary, yet nothing limits him to the hoodie outfit, you see?
That's a tough one because logic and fact does not work. There are some previous threads and posts on HN. Try searching around with the advanced filters.

I mean, you countered her reasoning by committing multiple fallacies of your own. You strawmanned her ('That people denying this are parroting CCP propaganda and the CCP does all this horrible stuff.') and did an appeal to authority ('I then said many prominent people such as Tom Cotton and Mike Pompeo said this theory is credible'). You did so in a way that was enough to make her cry by your own admission.

And modern Tendermint[1]/Cosmos SDK-based chains or Solana are basically distributed databases, using consensus models similar to Raft, except with byzantine fault tolerance and Proof of Stake for leader selection.

No mining, no forks, finality within seconds, large throughput. Pretty boring, actually, with little hype surrounding it - it just works, like a regular database, except there's no single entity controlling it.

One of the top five payment gateways in Korea - CHAI - uses the decentralized Terra[2] blockchain as their backend.

I have some hazy concepts around it. I suspect very humble inception.

Something like having the other person think they're better than you for having less of their flaws than you do. Sort of a reverse psychology type of thing, but with more potential for doing harm.

To be able to do it, one would have to first heal their ego I think. Be able to look like a jackass and not let it get to their head.
Bet those stats go way up in the next few months as more and more businesses get on the refusing cash bandwagon. Apparently it's for 'safety' but I live in a country where my money's made out of plastic or metal, that shit can be sprayed or dunked in iso. The excuse seems pretty flimsy too when again, places don't seem to bother cleaning off their pinpads before the cashiers or other customers touch them anyway.
How does sidewall stiffness matter? The ground is holding the car up; the air is not.
aren't they going to be asking for the real email though?

email remains the best and free-est login identifier. Most people who are not complete internet plebs have a second email for things they dont trust.
Isn't the problem that although rank-based systems have many desirable properties, they are particularly prone to strategic voting and manipulation? I personally think they are good in cooperative settings where voters have no strong incentive to vote strategically, but are they really so desirable for adversarial situations like national elections?
Yes, however typical users do appear to expect or claim that, normally for the Intel compiler, on the basis of myth and not measurement and understanding. I'm not convinced there is typical numerical code across scientific applications, though; consider the (behaviour) on the Polyhedron Fortran benchmarks, for a start.
Strange, because the question I asked and you didn't answer was pretty clear: "What values does the US share with the UK more than with most other western countries?".

My point (implicit, but obvious) is that "values" is a weasel word used to justify power alliances under the pretension of some shared positive ethical trait.

For the specific case, I feel that the UK and the US have very different values, as it's easy to see comparing the society and recent history of the two countries.

“In report what a politician says, we think it's important that people should generally be able to see it for themselves on our platforms, too."

News outlets don’t give up the stage and leave viewers without context or basic fact checking. Well, most of them. Facebook wants to be the Fox News of social media, not a platform for social engagement, which can’t happen when your business model is misinformation and manufactured right wing rage.

Just wanna say we love using Mercury, and it's really the perfect bank for startups.

We also experienced the personal balance privacy issue where we didn't expect to see each other's balances but was too late by then.
I don’t follow the argument. OK, CS assumes some knowledge. What’s that got to do with why WOMEN don’t go into CS? It’s only relevant if you start with the same assumption that the student has - mostly boys like programming, therefore women don’t gain the knowledge required to go into CS. But that’s just a tautology: women don’t like CS because they don’t like CS.
With hope for the presence of positive-minded folks with contribution time to spare: any suggestions of areas that could use help towards binary builds?
This is a good answer, but the feature you mention sounds to me like it is useful because it is a productivity feature (avoiding time creating accounts and switching tabs in a browser), not really used for socialization.

Like when telephone lines were introduced, they were a massive boost to productivity. Even if they could be used as a social feature within companies, it was not why they were useful there.
If by “it” you mean privately-owned websites, then no, it cannot be forced to do so. That would be a violation of the websites’ owners own freedom of speech. Not to mention their property rights! I thought the right to absolutely control one’s own private property was the most sacrosanct of conservative values?

I am reading so much incorrect information in this thread it’s maddening.

The card network (Visa, Mastercard, etc) do NOT make money on Interchange.

It’s hard to have a healthy dialogue on this topic if folks don’t understand the basics of how the card networks generate revenue.

Below is a decent primer.

It’s not any transaction. It’s any digital transaction. You can sell physical goods and services either without giving Apple any cut, or by using Apple Pay and Apple just gets your standard credit card processing fee.

Apple's developer docs on the Private Email Relay Service are relevant to those evaluating the technicals of AnyList's position. Three specific highlights from that doc are relevant when considering AnyList's objections:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple...

After the user has shared a private relay email address with your app, they can find, view, and manage it in their account settings at Settings > Apple ID > Password & Security > Apps Using Your Apple ID.

The relay server transforms your email address so it’s readable to the user. For example, sales@xyz.com may become sales_at_xyz_com_<something>@privaterelay.appleid.com instead of a random email address. Replies from the user are still routed back through the service to preserve the user’s privacy.

To send emails to users with private email addresses, you must register your outbound emails or email domains and use Sender Policy Framework (SPF) to authenticate your outbound emails.
The problem is that both parties in the US are bought and paid for, and have no real interest in representing the interests of voters.

So-called progressive issues and so-called conservative issues are just attention-seeking window displays designed to farm voter interest.

Policy is controlled by the economic leverage of donors and lobbyists, not by voters, and is enacted to protect the economic interests of donors and lobbyists, not of voters.
The thing to be wary of here is knowing which platform should be used, on a given site. These devices are to establish strict lines of trust, but not all those who use them are technically proficient, so a MitM that downgrades the authenticator from "platform" to "cross-platform" (or roaming) can alter the registration process such that what should have had a biometric tie now just has a PIN (or no PIN depending). This attack depends on how the vendor is managing AAGUIDs and Attestment Certificates, but a lot simply don't.
I would add - as a patron, the UI is horrible.

The one thing I'd like, when I subscribe to someone, is a list of patron-only content so that I can slowly go back and watch/listen to/read past material. Instead the only option is an infinite-scroll style blog roll, which makes it extremely hard to go back and pick up where you left off. It's also impossible to navigate in anything other than inverse chronological order. Atrocious.
This method doesn't account for the support of the tire itself through the sidewalls, as opposed to the pressure contained within it.

You should be able to estimate this contribution by fitting to the curve of area vs pressure at lower pressures. For example, the linear F=PA relationship clearly breaks down at 0 pressure, as F>0 and A>0 when P=0.
