> Banksy seems to hold similar political views to NYT, so they have no problem playing along.

Genuinely curious of your basis for this. As far as I can tell SSC and most rationalist adjacents are basically neo-libs which the NYT has been a bastion of for decades.
This is correct. People treat native Americans as some sort of monolithic bloc when they were anything but. The tribes themselves had many warring feuds going back centuries and developed competing alliances with imperial forces when they arrived, some allying with the French, others with the British or Spanish.
I never knew deleting anything automatically implied having no back ups. SSC even announced he had back ups. So... even for the assuming people out there he placed disclaimers. Yet more disingenuous statements.

Did the US government ever acknowledge them as independent foreign nations? The War of Independence was partly fought to get away from the British proclamation of 1763 that said you couldn't settle west of the Appalachians without a treaty.

Oklahoma was part of the Louisiana purchase, the US considered it their land for that reason.

The US signed treaties with the indigeneous population in an attempt to secure peace, not out of any sort of acknowledgement that they had to.
It seems to me that the level of "privateness" of the information is relevant. Obviously just saying the real name of a famous person who goes by a pseudonym is not considered doxxing. This article claims that his full name "can be ascertained with minimal investigation," and Scott's own blog deletion announcement seemed to agree. Where precisely to draw that line is an area where we can reasonably disagree.

"We reject that thinking. If Congress wishes to withdraw its promises, it must say so."

As with so many controversial court rulings like the ACA mandate case, our courts keep getting put into the decision because of the massive failure that congress is. Congress should either fulfill the promise or not, or whatever. instead the judicial bodies end up making legal judgements with big ramifcations that largely should be left to the legislative body.

The only definition I’ve used is the one pointed out here as the PM perspective: how are your users using the product, what are their pain points, how can you make it more pleasant for them?

Arguably, the treaties are not only "how" but also "why" us modern Americans, detached from the times in which those reservations were established, should uphold them, as they are lawful.

We could certainly look at why the treaties were signed, but the original comment basically asked why we, modernly, should care.
Linux Kernel Raising Compiler Build Requirement to GCC 4.9
Just a couple notes here from a person of tribal descent (I am Wasq'u, a tribe in the PNW), for those trying to make sense of it.

This ruling, as I understand it, resolves a narrow technicality—but that technicality has potentially enormous implications.

The Court has only decided that the federal [EDIT: state! sorry!] government has no prosecutorial jurisdiction against citizens of the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes" in about half of OK—this is what the press means when it calls this territory "Indian reservations." They did not decide things like: Do the tribes get the taxes from people living in Tulsa? Do non-natives have to abide by rules of the respective nations? Does the tribal government have the ability to reclaim land through land-for-trust? And so on.

Further narrowing the ruling, my understanding is that this only applies when all persons involved in the crime (e.g., the victim) are also tribal citizens.

But, this ruling does open the door to a lot of those types of questions. It is possible we see several cases related to the sovereignty of these nations over the next few years, possibly greatly expanding the scope of the jurisdiction of the tribal governments.
Around Lewiston, Idaho, the Nez Perce tribe has been buying up land as it comes onto the market. They're also doing land swaps with non-tribal land owners for other reasons - better wildlife acreage for better farming acreage, for instance.

> And this is useful when writing code how?

It's useful for general text navigation, and writing code is an instance of that.

> I'd use such a feature if I had to fill a table, and wanted to move to the same column on a different row. But with proportional fonts, the columns don't line up. So yes, it can move to the same x coordinate, but why is this useful?

"Doesn't work well for use case X" != "not useful [in general]"

If your text is laid out assuming fixed-width fonts, and it's important for you to move to the same column in a different row, then just use fixed-width fonts and the method I described would work as you expect.
It's so weird how sentences so significant are often "protecting" the rights of terrible, terrible people:

> McGirt, 71, has served more than two decades in prison after being convicted [...] of rape, lewd molestation and forcible sodomy of a 4-year-old girl. McGirt [...] did not contest his guilt in the case

I'd be interested in learning who was involved in McGirt's proceedings and why. Did they mean to actually get this guy free (which, to be fair, at his age could be a charitable act in itself), or did they just think it was as good a chance as any to get this old treaty back on the table? There is a book and a film in that story.
skipped in the article, but the deleted website specifies that the purpose of deletion is partially to ensure that if the Times were to publish an article then they'd also have to answer as to why they needlessly endangered Scott's patients and housemates.

This is a great way to frame it.
> If you read his last letter he clearly intended to rile up his followers into a frenzy and get them to attack the reporter

Um, unless you think Scott lied about what the reporter said, this is not a very sensible take. The blog takedown page reads like a factual account of what happened, and a request to direct any criticism towards the NYT's editors through the proper channels. He has never called for a mad frenzy or anything like that.
The US signed a formal treaty, which remains law.

Cyber attack shuts down Canadaian Royal Military College network
There are only two rational explanations here:

1) Scott Alexander wanted more attention, and he realized that deleting his site and blaming the NYT for it would garner dramatically more attention, creating opportunities that he wanted. He recognized that he could become a martyr to a certain group, and use that for future gains.

2) Scott Alexander is an absolute moron who did not foresee the Streisand Effect that he was going to cause.

I personally do not think he is a moron. I think he is a manipulative sociopath who knew that people who agree with him on other matters would line up to create future opportunities for him if he pretended that his hand was forced.

It saddens me that so many "smart" people fall for such transparent nonsense. There was no lapse of judgment. He is just a selfish sociopath. Nothing more.

The problem with this is that there is no context. It's impossible to verify or evaluate what happened. Who knows what "helped" means. It could be fixing a bug in an open source software product that was eventually used to reduce CAC. Who knows. It's vague.

The world is complex. There is rarely such a thing as a single person writing a few lines of code, and that code directly leading to $ savings. There are complex interactions and dependencies. Also, not all engineers are working on code that has measureable bottom-line impact, so these statements are only possible for a few. For example, an engineer refactoring old code can save a company millions over the lifespan of that code, and it would never show up as dollar values anywhere.

On the other hand, someone can change a cell in an Excel spreadsheet that had a typo in it and save the company $100,000. Should I hire the person because they found a typo? These kind of statements with dollar values are meaningless because the reader is missing context. More often than not, they are vanity statements and come across as disingenuous. I'd rather have you describe what you actually did.

A better example would be "Architected and implemented new real-time event messaging infrastructure using technologies X and Y that allowed us to move of expensive SaaS service Z and save $$.", or something like that. At least that tells me what you did, but even here the $ value is meaningless.

I don't think that will get the NYT to listen. A better idea is that if you are a subscriber, unsubscribe and give this as the reason. As recent history proves, the NYT truly listens to cancellations. A bunch of people running pihole, not so much for sure.
Shoulda seen my pinewood derby car.
I am speculating on behalf of GP, but I think the reason it might be relevant is because the New Yorker has a far-left bias (https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart) and the motivation to go after SSC in the first place (for some on the left) seems to be that SSC's author and comments on SSC were willing to hold objective conversations about race and other touchy matters that the far left often dismisses as off limits (for instance using the label of "scientific racism"). This Harper's letter is in support of open debate, free inquiry, and free thought, and therefore it is in effect in support of SSC.

Free thought and free inquiry and the freedom to research/discuss/publish unpopular ideas has been a hot topic in recent times. For instance, see the protest of Omar Wasow's paper on protesting (https://www.chronicle.com/article/The-Protesting-of-a-Protes...) or the firing of Steven Hsu (https://quillette.com/2020/07/01/on-steve-hsu-and-the-campai...).

It's been that way, this isn't much of a change for the tribes. Effectively, the tribes have a different system of governance that falls under federal jurisdiction. They're "outside" the state government. It's a hot mess, but I don't think forcing sovereign nations to conform the the occupational nation is a good idea.
You can simplify, and then you can say Scott wrote an angry "screed" that misrepresents 99% of feminists and ignores the plight of vulnerable women in its bourgeois defense of the privileged, nerdy intellectual class.

> The US government was making treaties with Native American tribes as recently as 1871.

Even later than that I think? The government was fighting Geronimo in the 1880s, and my understanding is there was some intermittent fighting as late as the 1920s. I'm not sure about treaties specifically though.
Ask HN: As an experienced dev how can I find iOS/macOS projects/teams to join
I'm doing backend and frontend development for approximately 10 years now, but recently (since last year) I want to get into more desktop and mobile development on apple platforms (ipad, ios, macos) and start working on my side projects (mainly desktop right now). But I think I would improve my skills on that topic much faster if I was working on real projects.

If congress doesn't change something, then that means they have determined no change is necessary.

That isn't an invitation for the executive branch (or judiciary) to overreach.

In theory congress could go years without passing a single law, and that would be fine. It would signal that the current laws are sufficient.

(As an aside, congress has ceded much of it's lawmaking authority to federal agencies anyway -- so even if they didn't pass any new laws, the legal code will still change every year.)

I agree that always sending content-length would be ideal, if it didn't come with the extra work and costs on the server that you mentioned.

Chunked encoding is simple enough to implement, avoids all those issues, and would allow a Gemini server to serve more requests faster given the same resources, or to run on hardware with more limited resources such as embedded. So I think it's well worth the slight cost in simplicity.

There is simply an advantage to being close to a network node with multiple connections that outweigh the costs. Whether you define that node in people in your field, different fields, different cultures, different ideas, availability of direct flights, trains, highways, whatever connection it may be. There is an advantage to maximizing available connections that can't be ignored.

And ultimately, it may even work out in your favor to live in a high COL place. The rents are higher, but usually your pay is relative so proportionally cost of living is about the same. That means in a high cost of living state, x% of your income is more money to invest and grow, and over a career that can lead to a significant difference in wealth.

Just like it does for any other foreign citizenship.

That's only your opinion, and my point was it doesn't look bad per se. There's nothing wrong with it aesthetically. It's just your bias/conditioning/what have you, same as with the haircut.
I disagree. They create cars designed to help police do their jobs, police aren't just buying the same cars available to the general public. So if the cars they create for the police are used to oppress people, I think they do have some liability.

To be clear I don't think that they should stop selling cars to the police, pretty much everyone agrees the police are necessary, so I think it is also necessary to have companies sell cars to them. But if you work with an oppressive organization to create tools to help them do their jobs, you are partially responsible for what they do with those tools.
