I think like most things, reservations weren't a solution to all things all native peoples for all time. It was more of a point in time act for specific reasons.

In this case the US was engaged in very specific legal deals with these groups. Reservations grew out of that process.
I suspect that Congress will consider repealing the Major Crimes Act with respect portions of Oklahoma. Congress has already done so for other reservations in several states. See 18 U.S.C. § 1162.

Yeah, it doesn't work that way, and no, most US citizens don't have any appreciable native ancestry, no matter what family mythology says.
I had the pleasure of driving through and visiting Oklahoma a decade or so ago. Some people don't like the rural states, but it felt so serene out there. We stopped at a shaved ice place off of some random exit and just sat there on the hood staring out at the plains. There's not much out there but it felt so peaceful. It felt like home.
You "sign up" with the sovereign tribal governments, just like any other nation. EU citizenship is worth a lot to many people, but they've still managed to find a system that doesn't include anyone with "some European blood".

Every tribe can determine their own criteria, and while some do consider how much "Indian blood" you have, that seems to be mostly because the US government heavily promoted the idea 100 years ago: https://chicago.suntimes.com/2018/10/20/18426433/warren-ance...

Yeah exactly... It just says how to install it. Not what it is or why it should want it ;)

It should have a description on their own site, not rely on one in an app store. I wouldn't even click on that until I'm convinced I want it.

In fact I didn't, I saw the page, was like "???" and then went to the comments here to read what this was about ;)

But yeah I always wondered what Google does with all these calls to the javascript libraries they're hosting... I bet they milk them for data somehow. It's a good effort but I'm not sure I'll install it as I already have so many plugins in Firefox that it constantly complains about slow startup.
I've only used the bare chips on custom boards, so I have no experience with the eval boards.

A popular board a few years ago was the iCEstick for about 20€, but I can't find it anywhere for that price now.
The ICE40 breakout boards from Lattice are also more expensive now for whatever reason.
Olimex has a board with the HX8K that is more reasonably priced, but unfortunately doesn't have an onboard programmer...

For the ECP5, the ULX3S board looks interesting. It's not exactly cheap, but also has more features than just buttons, LEDs, and pin headers like on the other boards.
Yes, of course, and they often do go out of business.
"Indians" in the sense you're using are not an actual thing. To my understanding, if you want to be a member of the Muscogee Nation, then you need to show legal proof of a bloodline going back to at least one specific person on the Dawes Roll's list of Creek members.
This is very slowly happening for some Chrome users. Generating meaningful, accurate descriptions is a general AI task, though.

As an aside, Chrome does the autolabeling (including OCR) only if there's no alt provided, so alts like "screenshot", "photo" etc. actually cause more harm than good.

These rights existing because the US government signed treaties with independent foreign nations. Those treaties are valid law until the Congress withdraws from them.
For C, I've found it's not a test friendliness thing though; the great C libraries were doing this before unit testing made it's way into their codebases. They dependency inject IO, memory allocation, and logging because they have no idea what you as the end user are going to be using for those. So you pass all that in on an env struct when you initialize the library.

You probably want it rigged up to your own logger instead of just blindly writing to stdout. You probably want the library's allocations tagged somehow on the heap so you can track down memory leaks. You probably don't want it doing IO directly, because of how many different way there are to do IO.

It's all more a function of how incredibly varied c envs are, than design for testability. It just happens to be very testable as an aside.

Because we systematically killed the majority of their race, culture, land, and way of life. So we’ve given them 1% of that back as penance.

Flash has been both widely used and widely mocked over the years. The negativity is not a contemporary (2020 or the last few years) thing, it's been around since I started paying attention to it almost 20 years ago.
An additional way to protest against their decision is to block nytimes.com on your devices. If you use adguard, nextdns or pihole this is easy to do. If a lot of people do this it will have a big impact, their links get posted a lot here on HN!
And how do you even define a tribe citizen? Is there like an ID card? Is it a DNA test? Does Elizabeth Warren qualify?
I said _treat_ it as valid. There are many valid laws we don't treat as valid (such as international ones).

It was a genuine question though; I was wondering if someone more knowledgeable than I knew how it would be handled :)
It didn't strike me as ugly as all.
Because in many cases we signed legally binding treaties with what were sovereign people at the time (and ostensibly are today but in practice not actually). We have either used loopholes or outright reneged on the treaties to further take their land away. I don't know if the time passed is relevant, when we pass treaties and sign agreements in general they have to mean something if we intend to be a nation of laws.
It would have been great. Right now we're at a somewhat awkward situation where we are trying to make a document delivery network act as an application platform, and things are a bit more complicated than they ought to be.

If Flash and Flash player were open, it could have matured into a fantastic application platform for both web and mobile and embedded devices.

Can someone explain why America has reservations?

As I understand it, it's not "special" status and more a result of the laws that were put into place when the land was "obtained" from Native Americans. Renegading on those treaties would be no different than the government repossessing your generations-owned land because "you shouldn't get special treatment because your great grandfather bought this land for $3".
Am I correct in thinking that this is about authority, not (land) title over half of Oklahoma?
Side note - as a part 'native' I wish that term you used would come back. Indian is now ambiguous and First Nations and Native American sound so stupid.
This is great - definitely looks like it's putting me on the right path.
The US government signed treaties (Legal documents) with Native American tribes. This decision rests on the fact those are, indeed, binding documents. Congress can explicitly modify these treaties, but that is an explicit legislative duty.

It really isn't that hard of a question to answer. If I legally own land, how far back in history should it go? Well, probably as far back as the entity that enforces legality says.

The citizen only has the power to resign. The subtext here is a "threat to resignation".
Also, even though this may be legal it strikes me as morally sketch. Enough so that I am back here an hour later to relate how much it bothers me.

Everything in audio engineering is about trade-offs and making the right ones. There is no driver, coil, MEMS, or otherwise, which can efficiently and accurately reproduce the entire range of human hearing at reasonable SPL.

For applications below 200Hz, there really isn't much better choice than a coil-driven speaker. You are limited to very low frequencies, so the relatively coarse mechanical nature of the coil speakers is more-or-less hidden by the fact that any higher frequency harmonics/distortion are designed out (crossovers, cabinet design, etc).

The best speaker is going to be a combination of various technologies. The current dream speaker for me would be:

- large array of plasma or MEMS-based tweeters (2KHz+)

- large array of 2~3" drivers (120-2000Hz)

- a handful of 18" drivers (20-120hz)

- a rotary subwoofer in an infinite baffle (DC-20Hz)

- DSP/equalizer/time-delay hardware+software for tying the whole thing together

Also note that the amount of power required to produce the same amount of perceived acoustic output as you go down in frequency goes up very quickly. 50 watts into a 18" subwoofer is going to sound fairly meek, but pipe that exact same electrical signal into a titanium dome tweeter and you will develop an instantaneous case of tinnitus.

Why does this instance bother you so much? (I think I know why)
That makes no sense. Maybe normally ordering at my favorite place nets them about $5. I don't want any gig economy startup cutting into that profit, when I pay it. I understand it is worth it for the restaurant to take GH orders and net $3 on them, I just think using that service is the wrong option.

I care about supporting my favorite local eats. Same reason we should all be tipping full even when getting take out. Support your local restaurants. Many are about to go out of business.
Yes, presumably it should be more efficient because this company is not taking a cut.

Saving less and using the remainder to buy tickets is another possibility. No need to wait until the tickets are interest financed.
Flash is a blackbox, and is a completely closed environment, and it's only software, there is little hardware relation. So no.

Flash could have gained from opening their format and making it a little more standard. I'm really happy that it's dead.

A reasonable claim of principle, but difficult in practice. Consider that quite a few people believe they know the true identity of Banksy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy
There was already an incentive - tribes running casinos had folks try to force their way in to get a cut. It didn't work; tribes get to manage their membership, and have historically been quite picky about how they do it.

Sounds a lot like calling dibs on prototype production that may or may not yield functional units. The money paid would be financing a later, safer regular production start date. If they are lucky, the risk buyer can make a lot of money from the temporary exclusivity and despite talking all the risk they can still rely on the producer trying their best because they wouldn't want to risk succeeding too close to the regular production start date because contracts after that surely define fines for being late.

Why not everyone assimilate? It is no longer "United States" when we split states off for special treatment for minorities. These minorities will further regress and never get out of the poor living conditions. Reservations are one of the most impoverished regions in the US.

We should then probably go back to Genghis Khan times and challenge the whole Eurasia, Persian inlands and a bunch of other areas around the world. To me, it seems like looking back and expecting special treatment many centuries ago is a minority trump card and instead we should be focusing on giving better opportunities, improving communities and looking forward.

"Largely" probably was the wrong word. The usage I describe will probably always be a minority, but my assumption is that it's been a relatively constant minority since journalism started. There's always an incentive to demonize and vilify someone somewhere.

"The federal government promised the Creek a reservation in perpetuity. Over time, Congress has diminished that reservation. It has sometimes restricted and other
times expanded the Tribe’s authority. But Congress has never withdrawn the promised reservation. As a result, many of the arguments before us today follow a sadly familiar pattern. Yes, promises were made, but the price of keeping them has become too great, so now we should just cast a blind eye. We reject that thinking. If Congress wishes to withdraw its promises, it must say so. Unlawful acts, performed long enough and with sufficient vigor, are never enough to amend the law. To hold otherwise would be to elevate the most brazen and longstanding injustices over the law, both rewarding wrong and failing those in the right.

Sigh. I think this article is holding Scott, and a core constituency of posters and meet up people, guilty by association with every rando on the internet, and also about half of the celebrities in the Bay area.

"War against the media" strikes me as ridiculous hyperbole in this context. I have met some of these people in real life, and none of them expressed that attitude to me, nor any kind of utopian superiority. It seemed like they were just trying to live morally considered lives and improve themselves a little at a time if they could -- and maybe do a little networking.

I think if Scott knew that his blog would get so big it would screw up his career and living arrangements, he probably wouldn't have published it in the first place. That might have been a lapse of judgment, but begging the NYT not to make him mainstream famous is hardly war on the media.
Yes. The specific case was about a murder conviction overturned because the Oklahoma county court didn't have jurisdiction over tribal land.
Given that IPCC and other world bodies suggest we need to be reducing emissions by 7.6% every year for the next decade (starting this year). We're doing the almost exact opposite.

The US and China are increasing hostilities and are locked in a downward spiral of increased military spending (and associated emissions).

Most of the economic elite, while paying lip service is in utter denial about the direness of the situation.

With a few exceptions (New Zealand), every developed and developing society is prioritizing the economy and economic development over the preservation of a viable human future.

Reading the Scott Aaronson affair described as being about the trouble of male nerds on the "dating market," was awfully ugly. Of course, this doesn't mean that the New Yorker has it out for "rationalists," it's just an example of the callous and not-exactly right coverage that subcultures usually get from the mainstream. The truth is that the Aaronson affair was that he had crippling anxiety when he was young, got mixed up with Judith Butler literature, and it didn't really help him. He never had any trouble finding a partner once his anxiety had resolved, so you really have to do some free word association to get from the reality to the description.

This is true so long as you recognize that this is a change in the market that will make certain restaurants unprofitable. A restaurant that was financially well-off before the advent of 3rd party delivery apps may not be anymore because they have fiercer competition.

Restaurants that can absorb the 25-30% hit, for whatever reason, now have an advantage over those that couldn't. The question becomes is this a market failure that needs corrected, or the natural evolution of the food service industry? The case for the former is that you have a vibrant market of pretty high quality restaurants run by their owners as passion projects and have margins that keep the lights on. Squeezing this market because it's now "deliver or die" means that they'll either have to go out of business or reduce their costs which hurts the customer with second order effects -- they will have to reduce their rents by going to a cheaper location that's out of the way, the quality of the food will drop, and/or the staff will be squeezed.

I don't necessarily agree with capping the fee but I don't think supply-chain transparency ever hurt the customer.

He reminds me of Ayn Rand hating on government handouts while taking them. He promotes stoicism while practicing the opposite.

You can say he’s promoting “logical stoicism” just like Ayn Rand fans can say that “it’s okay to be ideologically against handouts while taking them,” but we both know deep down that these people aren’t practicing what they preach.
