>mostly just want people to have the same access to schools that whites have had for decades.

I would disagree with that. Kids from the families with inherited wealth always enjoyed their hilltop mansions, gated communities, private schools and Ivy League admissions by donation. And they continue doing that, they're above the rules. Nobody is going to put a low barrier social housing in their backyard, or force their kids to network with us, the plebs.

It's the middle class that made their own wealth is under attack now. Doctors, engineers, small business founders. Apparently, we can't have in a community with no used needles near the playgrounds. Because poor homeless. I can't apparently spend time teaching my pre-school kids to read and to write, so once they go to school, they can focus on more advanced stuff with other like minded kids. For the sake of social justice, the class has to be diluted by a few troublemakers whos parents didn't care. But, of course, not the class where the Governor's kids go.

Mind you, nobody will mind if you go and help the affected people directly. Go offer free counseling to homeless. Go teach Python to kids from poor families. Go do lemonade stand projects with underrepresented minorities. But do it in your own free time and at your own expense. I am pretty certain, many reasonable people will follow, since our society generally values being generous and positive. Except that's not what the activists are doing. They don't want to solve the problem in their free time, they want others to somehow find time and solve the problem for them.

>See, e.g. Glen Beck and Tucker Carlson urging their followers to doxx and threaten their critics.

I've seen the piece from Tucker Carlson. NYT journalists threatened to publish his home address. He stated that it already happened before, leading to threats to his family, and said that if they do it again, he will retaliate. He didn't mention any personal details there, so the NYT pulled back and they've reached a stalemate.

>See, for example, Hollywood, the NBA, the music industry, etc.

Hollywood has deteriorated to releasing heavily engineered comic book films. The art aspect is gone, the creativity is gone, many genres like parody/comedy are gone. Mainstream music isn't at it's peak either. It's pretty consistent with the left-leaning big tech, that focuses on making people replaceable drones following procedures, because they have much less bargaining power this way. I am not into sports, so no clue on NBA/NFL.
For those that haven't tried Jitsi - my friends and I catch up on it almost daily. It is awesome.

The phone app is great too. You can setup a room that people can jump in and out of, which is pretty convenient.

If you're looking for that office feel for your small team, then Jitsi might be worth a shot.

And, I think you can host your own server if you'd like to!
I have some tools that you can use to cross compile pretty easily, not a first class yet but it works, you can build generic toolchains quite easily, just a new `sysroot` with the compiler + some flags

A very interesting hill to die on. They can say this message due to the fact that it financially costs them and their investors almost nothing.

However, if they cared about 'equality' they would treat all their workers as employees and send a message like this to show the world that they 'care'. But wait! They can't or don't want to and complain about this because they know that the financial costs to them is insurmountable.

Therefore, this message is completely empty virtue signalling.
Relax about what exactly? You're saying I should just accept my (long) past bigotry?
This is fascinating. Want to write an article on Qvault about it? xD
The numerical part of this argument is... nonexistent? The only time the 500k figure appears in the article is at the very end: "Said differently, the price of bitcoin could appreciate 45x from where it is today, which means we could see a price of $500,000 U.S. dollars per bitcoin."

OK, so where does this factor of 45x come from? It comes from the immediately preceding sentence: "If we are right about using a gold framework to value bitcoin, and bitcoin continues on this path, then the bull case scenario for bitcoin is that it is undervalued by a multiple of 45."

Right. What is a "gold framework"? They don't say. There are some ramblings about asteroid mining and Elon Musk bringing gold back from Mars, which will "crater the price of gold". This is unclear, but I think they are trying to suggest the gold price dropping to near 0. Which seems nonsensical, since nobody will mine the asteroids if they can't expect a good return on their effort.

Aaanyway, back to the 500k: We do get this right before the "gold framework" sentence: "Today, the market capitalization of above ground gold is conservatively $9 trillion."

OK. So I think the reasoning they are hinting at goes something like this:

- the gold price will fall to near 0
- the $9 trillion dollars currently invested in gold will all be invested in Bitcoin instead
- the supply of Bitcoin is limited at 21 million
- $9 trillion / 21 million Bitcoin = $429k / Bitcoin, which = $500k / Bitcoin if you squint hard enough
- the above checks out if you assume a "real" supply of 18 million Bitcoin because some are lost

I question most of the points listed above.

One of the main ways I've found out of this is to just accept that taking certain calculated risks is worthwhile.

At the very beginning of lockdown, we decided that seeing or next door neighbors was acceptable. That was helpful.

In early July, we decided seeing our closest friends was acceptable.

We started going to a teeny tiny farmers market once a week just to see other people.

Basically, I think it's important to remember that we are all human, and humans need other humans.
Don't forget twitter & facebook, but they won't because that's not really the reason.
> actually already shot someone

This is the issue. There is ZERO video of this (only the aftermath). We don't know why that first guy got shot in the head, or if it was this kid that did it (forensics will show) and that guy he shot had a criminal records.

It could have been a self defense shot too. His ability to control himself after the two he shot on video goes to enforce that idea.

The kid had zero record. It's a bad situation for sure, but I don't think there is enough evidence to say the kid didn't act in self defense.

This is community policing by the way.
> there is always a dam in the Alps or Scandinavia

Speaking as someone from Sweden, we have already reached maximum exploitation of rivers for hydropower, and it is barely managing to maintain the grid in the winter when the wind is laying low. Expanding it more is not seen as an option, and when the few nuclear plants that is still operational goes offline there are claims that we will need to start import fossil fueled energy during some days of the year.
I wonder if it’s a category error:

Because password may be thought of as a first line of defense, folks have trouble with the notion of your password encryption being the last line of defense.

There are quite a few things we do that “bookend” other operations. I’ve certainly seen my fair share of people getting those wrong too (eg, teardown should often happen in the reverse order of setup, FILO)
has anyone built something on top of twilio's video offering?

it looks relatively straightforward, and seems to me like most tech companies (and some university IT departments) could pretty easily build internal conferencing stuff on top of it if they cared to.
I just use it on my laptop and desktop (Mac/Linux). I think I'd prefer to use a tablet though as I'm not a huge fan of reading on computers. Currently looking around and I've seen your sentiment about Polar and iPads before. Hopefully better support is coming in the 2.0 release though.

And unlike many other services, the network effect is quite low because I can easily install multiple video conferencing software or even run some in the browser. If someone organising a meeting asks to use something unusual, I'm normally not that bothered.
Kudos to Powell's, I've spent literally thousands of dollars over the years at that magnificent store and will continue to do so; spent hour upon hour there in my childhood getting lost in wonders it holds.

They don't try to undercut smaller bookstores by offering discounts on new books like B&N, Amazon, etc., their employees seem to actually enjoy working there, it's a family-friendly environment and the selection simply can't be beat. If you enjoy reading, please support this business.

Vigilantism is not cool.
If you ever had the opportunity to visit Powell's technical bookstore in the past, you'd find it very worthy. It was an amazing goldmine of books, back before Amazon, and back when university campuses had actual bookstores with actual technical books.

When I worked for Rogue Wave Software in the 90's, we took an all-team field trip (rented bus) up to Powell's TB with everyone getting a spending amount to get whatever they wanted.
They might have just been using it in terms of giving it out as theirs for years. Doesn't mean they've ever had access. Or they could have typoed it a long time ago and now actually think that that they've logged in with it when they never have.

Ask HN: Is open source security effective?
As of late, I've found my self in the middle of quite a few debates on open source network/system security. Specifically, I've had to defend a number of projects who only use open source tools, and post details of their infrastructure online (such as firewall rules), for others to criticize and comment on.

In my opinion, there is no problem with this, as the groups I've defended only expose well-known, battle tested, security audited, and heavily supported dependencies/services, such as Django and OpenSSH. They also have very simple firewall rules and configurations which block out all other ports. To me, this seems practical and removes much (although obviously not all) of the risk from their hands.

However, I also see the other side, and understand that this could be risky for smaller projects that don't have many people reviewing their code. This also, unlike a proprietary solution, exposes technical data about security to a potential attacker, which is a risk... although I've also heard people argue that it doesn't actually make any practical difference.

Here's a simple, but good article on Wikipedia that covers some points on each side. This article is more about software... but many of the arguments still apply or translate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software_security

The point is, I've already had my debates about this, and now I would like to hear from everyone else. What do you think? Do you think that "security through community" is a good idea? Is it the way of the future? Or is it the beginning to the end for any company that takes this approach? Are there some approaches that are good, and others that are bad?
I get a couple emails a day, which is about how much I was getting when I was on Gmail. However, I have been much less careful with my address too–I think spammers might just be less likely to mail custom domains because those addresses might be more likely to be invalid.
I hope that this teaches more people that there are other, sometimes better app stores in android.
It's a good website. It looks like they finally support tabbed browsing, but a less rigidly-enforced product hierarchy and better support of metric measurements would make it a lot better.

For example when I'm buying a sheet of steel, this list ordering isn't as easy to work with as it could be: 3/32", 0.095", 0.1", 1/8", 0.134"..., 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm...
IANAL but I've seen enough controversy around this to mention that not everyone agrees with that interpretation of 230 or its ramifications.
My understanding (not having used a new one) is that current RaspberryPis get pretty hot.

I’m sure it’s not as hot as a printer head (~200c) but I’d worry it might be enough on the inside of an enclosure made of lower-temp thermoplastic to cause warping.

State Courts are too reliant on Zoom and using its breakout rooms for very sensitive communications. This IS infrastructure and should be very concerning. Its an area DHS needs to take a close look at.
I really don't get where this argument comes from QUIC is hosted protocol on top of UDP which content-neutral. There's no layering violation since all of QUIC sits at the application layer. And QUIC takes a generic content-neutral payload that you can build on top of.

Building TLS into the protocol rather than having a plaintext protocol wrapped in a generic TLS stream isn't that weird -- it's how MySQL does it.
Oh, that's interesting. Thank you!

This problem is common to nearly every subreddit, on every side of the political spectrum. Unaccountable moderators will ban you in a heartbeat for arbitrary reasons, such as disagreeing with the sub's majority opinion.

I was banned from my (very liberal) U.S. state's subreddit for quoting Martin Luther King. I quoted a passage from one his speeches that denounced political violence, such as the arson and vandalism we've seen in Kenosha recently. The subreddit moderator banned me within minutes, called me a Nazi, and immediately denied the appeal.

It's not learning new things that's necessarily bothersome to me. The problem is that it often feels arbitrary, and I can be sure that I'll have to re-learn all of that again in six months.

As @strogonoff pointed out elsewhere, there exist domains and niches where a complex and different UI is warranted. Scientific and creative software, for instance, falls into this category. Most software I use does not. I just want to change my account settings, or search for something without feeling lost. Personally, I'd like to see innovation in UX beyond hiding stuff, moving it around, or making it look a certain way. Whenever I see that some app I use has "revolutionized" their UI, the changes usually make me think of this:

In your situation, I'd just whip together a quick PowerShell script like I have here, but tailor it to the structure of your file format: traverse the XML tree and have a few if-else statements which filter out noisy metadata you don't need to see in the diff, if any, and save the resulting collected text node contents as a text file alongside the XML files. Each commit with changes to the XML will thanks to the Git hook also have a corresponding TXT file so you can very easily view the changes in a skimable way, unlike the potentially really big and messy XML diff you'd have if you versioned only the original.
You can take a bounded losses (though also bounded time frame) short position via stock options. Buying a put option achieves this for example.

Yep, We hit a wall when developing Awesomium-- long story short, the vision for Chromium long-term didn't match with our design goals so we announced to the community that we're starting over with something new (which turned out to be a minimal WebKit-port, eg. Ultralight).

From a business standpoint, we were offering paid commercial support for not just Awesomium but all the Chromium-related parts and that surface area had grown to be way too large to be maintainable. For the product to succeed we had to refocus efforts on building a solution we could fully own and met the requirements of our core market-- and that took about 6 years of R&D.

There's no technical enforcement of this. I think this is just referring to the general conventions of the way people speak on ham radio, which is different.
I'm sure, but that's not related to whether or not folks can even read the article because of constant attention-demanding sudden motion.
The brain fog is very real.

In my case, I actually like my job (a rarity for most, including myself), but my productivity has been driven down when it is reliant on concentration (like a technical task). Interestingly, it's a bit higher in social stuff like meetings.

I know a few people who are actually MORE productive. These are the perpetual-workaholic-anyway types. They've adapted by launching their consciousness into action. I admire those people, because my friends like this are actually very very successful (before and during this). Joe Rogan even says sometimes, he escapes the pain of consciousness by keeping himself busy.
Guess they should ban Chrome, since hate speech appears on the web. All these Fediverse things can be accessed via web apps and progressive web apps (PWAs) too.
I'm a ham. I don't think there's hard data on the 'average age' of hams--it's very anecdotal. Nobody really knows that, and the ARRL or feds don't have the actual age of licensees documented.

I agree that ham radio is 'evolving', but I see that evolving as most often a shift to computer-operated communication and digital tools. It's hard to explain to folks outside of ham radio that this isn't a 'old technology' vs. 'new technology' problem, but more of a path of least resistance: computers are ubiquitous, ham radio equipment is not.

More simply, fewer and fewer folks want to communicate with each other by voice. This sounds trite, but I've found it to be true. Why bother, when digital/text is so immediate and simple?

I hope to see a post from you one day saying "I gave up on LaTeX and switched to org" :-)

Seriously, org has served all my authoring needs for over a decade now. You can export to LaTeX and HTML easily, and now pandoc does a decent job of exporting to other formats. You can embed LaTeX lines in your org document, so you get the full power of LaTeX, without having to write LaTeX for everything. Tables are hellish in LaTeX, and even lists are a pain.
