The public will usually not have to tools, expertise, or mindset to perform more technical kinds of intelligence gathering/sharing. The public is, therefore, generally limited to relying on human intelligence operations like Q.

However, human intelligence has consistency and credibility problems which make it easier to attack and undermine. The problems are magnified by anonymity and the resulting lack of accountability.

I am not sure how to solve those problems. The Q faithful should remember the inherent instability of that type of operation and work to solve it, not attack anyone who is in any way critical of it.
Immediate Mode GUIs are just GUIs that are instanced and drawn immediately during a single frame. There's no need to persist any object or structure because the whole screen will be cleaned and redrawn in the next frame. Immediate mode is popular in video games because in most games the screen is re-rendered on each frame.

This is in opposition from retained-mode, where things are re-rendered only when necessary, like in Win32/Cocoa or the HTML DOM. With those, you need to keep an object in memory.

The nature of the job is what allows for very simple procedure calls that looks almost declarative. Here's an example (it's Unity3D btw):

GUI.Label (new Rect (25, 25, 100, 30), "Label");
if (GUI.Button (new Rect (25, 25, 100, 30), "Button")) {
// This code is executed when the Button is clicked
}
Home users that want to store tens of TB of data are highly unlikely to need fast access to most of it. A large personal movie collection never needs more performance than a single hard drive offers. An incremental backup archive is not performance-critical while adding new backups, and restoring from backup is infrequent enough that it's not worth paying an order of magnitude higher for better restore performance. A video game collection can see some benefit from faster storage, but it's still cheaper and easier to shuffle games in and out of local ~1TB SSD storage than to establish high-speed access to a solid-state NAS.
Are you a believer in the Q contents?

Was there a defining a moment that made you believe in it, if you do?

I'm not going read drops or maps, I'm not even sure what that means and don't plan to spend my weekend figuring that out, there's only so much time and we have to pick and choose ya know, so if you could expand, please do.
Gas stations operate in an intensely competitive environment with profit margins in the 1-2% range. Consistently across dozens of stations, both independents and large chains, I see noticeable discounts on the order of 1-2% for using cash. This isn't a question of a few owners making a mistake with numbers. I strongly suspect if you aggregate these discounts, you'll get a very clear picture of the comparative cost of cash/debit handling and credit card costs.
For what it may be worth, I made a comment elsewhere in this discussion page (you could Ctrl-F for my username) about my belief that life indeed does not end at mortal death but is ongoing. Knowing stuff about that really helps relax about many subject, prioritize the things that do matter and make a difference for good, etc....
Q is probably infiltrated by secret CIA operatives and will probably be dismantled soon, and will take on a new guise. Anyone remember the hacktivist group Anonymous in their heyday? Completely infiltrated and dismantled, by who knows? CIA?

This would not be information overload at all. It would be fantastic. I want to know if part of my payment is directed to middlemen, so I could seek ways to pay the author/developer/artist more directly.

Airlines have to do this and I have never heard anyone (except the airlines) say that they were bothered by the writing out of taxes and fees explicitly. Utility companies do this (including cell phone companies), and I have never heard anyone saying that those lines of text were problematic.

So I'd be very wary of preemptively trying to stop an idea like this, because of a potential unintended consequence which is itself not a big deal (and has not surfaced in similar situations).

That would be an ad hominem if I was trying to say your argument was invalid because of who you are, I am not.

Quite the opposite in fact, I was saying your words may shed light on your character, not the other way around.
Couple of interesting observations.

1. Audio streaming is not currently supported. I wonder if that is a design feature, or a temporary technical limitation? If so it certainly limits the range of applications.

2. They show Netflix, but anyone who is required to implement standard DRM schemes will likely need to block this functionality from their apps to keep legal teams & licensees happy.

3. It appears that clicks are not translated into touch events. Curious if this will cause some strange behavior or mostly "just work" like iOS simulator.

Seems neat, but leaves me really scratching my head to figure out the "killer app" for this.
TCP remains for cases where speed is required so TLS is skipped.

Instead of application layers, I'd assume evolution on transport layers, so next to plaintext TCP there would be less reliable faster transport protocol, secure but slower transport protocol and possibly others.

Similarly, is UDP a zero cost layer? If not, one could perhaps get more speed from working directly with IP.
On the contrary, it would appear that the "wider" problem is an entirely constructed case of change aversion.

It would indeed happen organically should DST be removed. It has not yet been abolished, so it has not yet happened.
I don't remember what typing program he had. Each of my sons had their own typing program because they had different learning styles.

I was very goal oriented. If they could meet the standard, they could move on to do something else instead. Where they exceeded grade level expectations across the board for some subject, I let them do whatever they felt like doing as "gifted enrichment."

For science, I got my oldest anything he was interested in -- books to read, magazine subscriptions, whatever he wanted -- because at age 13 he was talking slow and repeating himself a lot to explain the Theory of Relativity to me. This was enormously helpful in getting me through some of my later upper class college classes.
Well, not always possible. For example the latest systemd has a bug where it sometimes deadlocks in a PAM module, so it blocks all remote access to a machine over ssh (openssh uses PAM, optionally). If openssh had a timeout on the PAM child process, it would simply retry after timeout, instead the whole machine is lost and needs to be restarted with physical access.

There's no way to cancel the operation remotely, because you're not authenticated yet. And you may not have any other access.

Timeouts are also a good defense strategy against bugs.
If only these existed for blocks of code.

In the third book we are treated to some pseudo-dialog between an attacker and their supervisor(s) deciding whether to preemptively attack an area of space (trying not to spoil here) and the options on the table - a tiny kinetic strike at near light speed vs. the "flattening" that they eventually decide upon are both presented as nearly zero-cost...

> big corporations

Whenever I see people use this phrase in a debate context, I give the argument less credit because it's meant to evoke an emotional response, but adds little to the discussion.

There are all sorts of companies , some big, some small, some more profit-driven, some less, some with more flexible ethics, etc. A company being big or small doesn't inherently make it bad, and small companies aren't inherently good.

It might also disrupt the status quo. Electrolysis (I assume this is where you're getting your hydrogen) just takes water and electric. People might even have home systems that can do it. That said, I still think hydrogen is, for the most part, silly, because of the electric requirement. Might as well use the electric as electric.
> We call it a tax because there is no way to avoid it except not selling our apps.

I’m genuinely confused by this sentiment. If you lose money after paying the 30% then you wouldn’t be in the App Store at all. But you “have to pay it” because even after the cut you’re still turning a profit. An apparently large enough profit for it to be worth the separate development and maintenance costs too. What makes you feel like you have no choice but to develop for iOS?

Don’t get me wrong it’s absolutely shitty when someone with leverage over your business squeezes but the percentage can’t be the deciding factor here. The same as every business ever, Apple charges you whatever they think they can get away with. So either it should be okay for Apple to take a percentage cut or not.
I hate it when people use the "chop down rainforest" meme without any actual knowledge of why it is happening.

No, people are not chopping down the rainforest for solar panels and integrating wind turbines into a forest is absolutely trivial with minimal loss of land. [0]

The primary reason why rain forests are being destroyed is by what I personally call "disposable agriculture". Poor farmers set a part of the rainforest on fire. The resulting ashes drop down on the land and the farmer starts tilling the soil. The ashes act as a natural fertilizer. The farmer then plants his monoculture field and exports the harvest. The top soil in the rainforest is not very deep. Without trees it is prone to being blown or washed away. Additionally exporting the harvest means that organic matter is being taken away from the location which further depletes the topsoil. After 3 years the land is worthless and the farmer has to move onto the next location. Rinse and repeat. A single farmer can easily destroy hundreds of acres of rainforest.

Depletion of nutrients is not exclusive to the rainforest though. Regular farmland also suffers from this which is why farmers have to use artificial fertilizer. You can farm in the rainforest even if you can't afford fertilizer. This is why it is being destroyed.

Not the first time a religion was started on the basis of a prophecy that failed to deliver. A spin off of the Millerite Church predicted the end or the world in 1844. The fact that it did not come to pass, a non event that later became known as the Great Dissapointment, had many consequences including the founding of the 7th Day Adventist church.

QAnon is absolutely a cult derived from the ideals of Christian spiritual warfare, apocalypticism, and associated eschatology.

The last time it was this bad was during the daycare panics of the 80's and 90's a movement I myself was a victim of.

Sufficiently for my own decision-making at least, I have proven it and it helps me much.... (My simple-tech web site I hope provides more info in a skimmable way; it is mentioned in my HN user profile, for what that may be worth, or more specific links if requested.)

I have a 2015 Leaf with 45k miles on it. Battery state of health is 90% according to Leafspy. I’m in the SF Bay Area. Maybe it’s because of the more temperate climate here, but we’ve just had zero battery degradation problems.
Depends on access patterns. If you have tons of video, audio, sensor data, the access is mostly sequential and processing it is mostly CPU bound (unless you have a remarkable workstation). If a hard disk costs about half per TB than an SSD, you can RAID-1 2 of them for twice the reliability and read speed. More disks, more reliability and more speed.

Here where I live I can get a 6TB serious HPE SSD for €1781.63 or a 4TB consumer grade unit for €671.88. For that amount of money, I can get a 3-drive RAID-1 of Hitachi 10TB disks or, better, a 2-drive RAID-1 (certainly not as fast as the HPE board) and keep the third disk in another machine and do backups there (because the reliability of an SSD means nothing if the data is erased).
The claim that hydrogen cars are cheaper and that battery cars are just for the rich in comparison is entirely unfounded. I have no idea where this idea came from as it is not borne by reality.

Compare two vehicles of the same overall type. A Toyota Mirai, one of the only hydrogen cars available, with a Long-Range Model 3.

Msrp: $58,550 for the Mirai, $46,990 for the LR Model 3.

Range: 312 miles for the Mirai, 322 for Model 3 LR.

Curb weight (!): 4075lbs for the Mirai, 4072lbs for the Model 3 LR.

Top speed, 0-60mph: 111mph and 9s for the Mirai; 145mph and 4.4s Model 3 LR

Cost per mile: $0.33 per mile for Toyota Mirai in LA https://www.toyotasantamonica.com/toyota-mirai-faqs/#:~:text....

About $0.05 per mile for the Tesla Model 3 LR (19 cents per kWh in LA for households average, ~4 miles per kWh) for home charging and $0.07 per mile for Model 3 LR with Supercharging (about 28 cents per kWh).

Battery-electric cars are basically cheaper and more convenient and more efficient and better in virtually every single way. (Even lighter for more range, which I was surprised at.)
Yes, and the top frameworks are already bandwidth limited on the simplest benchmarks. The big gains are now made in DB access, which is a much more complicated topic than "ORM is bad for performance".
Or more accurately: the market is reacting to what consumers want. Librem phones exist; they’re just not popular because most people don’t care about privacy.
Running a database business is especially hard - constant development is needed and so one time perpetual licenses don't really reflect the on-going costs (esp staff) that a database company has.

What to Do with Spreadsheets in an Organization
I work for a midsized public agency with some very smart but non-technical colleagues(housing, environmental health etc.) I was recently hired to improve our "data infrastructure".

I am currently talking to departments to understand the landscape by asking them a few key questions:
1) What data sets have they used in the past year 2) Where and how do they source it (census website, internal databases etc)
3) How frequently do they refresh it and reuse it.

I am starting to see a pattern where some datasets are sourced from internal systems with their own backing databases. It's a bit of a clutter but I can bring these different datasets to a centralized warehouse/datalake like environment that has discovery and querying capability.

However, there is another consistent thread expressed by departmental analysts - "I get this other data from another agency via an excel spreadsheet as an email attachment" which I am struggling to understand what to do with. At this point I am not seeking a tool or a technical solution but rather some meta thoughts from HN tribe members.

Is there merit in trying to centralize/bring together artifacts like spreadsheets together in a centralized place? Has someone done this/tried this before and saw any real benefit from it or is the dynamic/adhoc nature of this type of information exchange better left alone?
Right on, I too believe a big chunk of the future office will look a lot more like a Starbucks, or the main lobby of a WeWork. A place to hang out with your coworkers, and a quit room for occasional meeting, an office that you visit once or twice a week, or maybe a month. It still makes a lot of sense to meet at a place that's not a public coffee shop, but has all the atmosphere and amenities.

That's certainly true, but Godel-type unprovability is separate from logical independence, and indeed much harder to make lists of.

My earlier point is not that we could know for sure that our struggles are due to being up against such a wall--just that our ability to suspect as much is relevant to how we allocate our time.
I've never had that impression. To me, it looks more like "we need them because reasons, therefore we celebrate every little thing they do that isn't reminding us of how terrible complicit we are in keeping the country where it is".

Like a poet who will write songs about their patron, turning each small gesture into a divine act.
True, but they focus on higher capacity drives as density is inversely proportional to cost.
Similar boat. I flip-flop between efficient time usage, and squandering my free time, because I'm so fried I just want to do nothing.
Thanks for reminding me to turn on screen time on my phone. I am indeed wasting a lot of time on my phone reading things that don't get me much value while procrastinating on real work or things that I consciously want to spend my time on. This problem is a lot more prevalent on my phone than on my laptop. I catch myself browsing HN without any intent and without any goal, mostly reading comments and skimming on articles. It's a complete waste of time and I'm not really getting anything from it. I wish I could come once a week and get a synthesis of what's been happening over here. There are a lot of things that I absolutely don't care about at all and filtering on categories would help me skip those. I noticed that the top 30 or 60 items on HN move rather slowly and one visit a day is enough to not feel that you're missing out. I feel that I need outside help to regulate these behaviors.
> If a lot of people don't want to be cops who are subject to such restraints, good. I don't want cops who use force casually. What we have now is a system that throws the book at anyone who takes or threatens life (with far higher sentences than most other developed countries despite little evidence of a deterrent effect) while frequently applying light or no penalties, or sometimes no serious investigation, to police officers who commit similar acts.

A core principle of a civil society with the rule of law is the government is granted a monopoly on the use of force to enforce the laws. If someone steals from you, you don't get to hunt them down and kidnap them for 1 year even if the punishment for the crime is 1 year of imprisonment. We explicitly grant police the authority to use force and when they don't use it properly they are subject to exactly the same punishment as you and I. There is no conceptual asymmetry on the use of illegitimate force. Self-defense is another example of this. You can legitimately use force against an attacker in self-defense. If you kill someone in self-defense that isn't murder and isn't an example of a double standard.

> I'm saying that any time a police officer shoots, kills, or seriously injures someone, they should be immediately relieved of duty pending a full inquiry, no matter what the circumstances.

I'm pretty sure this is exactly what happens. The mob isn't waiting more than 30 minutes never mind for a "full inquiry".

> If there is a colorable suspicion of misbehavior (eg the shooting was not a case of returning fire or action during the commission of a crime), then they should be subject to arrest like any other criminal suspect, while retaining their full panoply of legal rights like presumption of innocence, access to counsel etc.

Tell that to the mob and its enablers. We have state governors opining on who was right or wrong just hours after tragic events, without any attempt to understand what really happened. This encourages mobs and rioting.

Same thing happened in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. Some ridiculously vague account on social media regarding an interaction with police and a mob arrives to loot and pillage all night long.

Just a couple of days ago in Mineapolis someone committed suicide while police approached and that triggered more rioting.

We won't survive as a society if every police interaction is interpreted immediately as yet another racial injustice, never mind if every rumor of a police interaction is interpreted that way. Mobs and rioting need to be shutdown hard so we have room for "full inquiry", but there are political leaders who not only won't shut down this activity they are actively encouraging it.
Do I understand correctly that multi model mean you can create relational dbs, documents dbs, key value pairs etc in Arrango?

If yes, I wonder why someone would need a multi model db, do you have any examples?
You need to get a certain critical mass of upvotes early in your submission to get "featured" (which shows your post to random people who browse to producthunt.com). Easiest way to do that is to get someone with a lot of followers (either on ProductHunt or Twitter) to post on your behalf.
We never guaranteed there were no vulnerabilities. My point is just that there are simple ways to defend against front-running in particular, and it's common practice to do those things.

Conspiracy theories also obscure the big reasons why things are messed up in society. The root causes often boil down to human frailty and/or bad luck--things that require a lot of plodding work to fix. Commercial aircraft are pretty safe because we've spent decades fixing problems one by one. At this point there are not many left.
"If what Q is saying is so dangerous then why not actually show that material and debunk it directly?"

Probably because the "material" is generated faster than anyone could possibly analyze it, which is why there are so many variants of the conspiracy theory floating around and why more seem to appear with each passing day.

"think for yourself"

Sure, let's start with, "Does this seem realistic?" If not, let's try, "Is there extraordinary evidence for these extraordinary claims?" Thus far the answer is "no, not even close" and the entire thing looks like a desperate attempt on the part of Trump's supporters to deny the plainly obvious fact that the man is an inept moron with deep insecurities and no conscience.

(Edit: the first thing I saw on website you provided was an assertion that the DNC logo looks like the satanic baphomet symbol. I do not even see what can be properly debunked there -- it is an opinion and there is no actual conclusion to be drawn even if the logo looked kind of like baphomet. I could claim that Trump's left eye looks like the meta key on an old Lisp machine keyboard, and demand that you debunk my claim.)
This is hard no from me. I dont have to team up with you just because we have same gender. There is no corresponding expectation on men to agree with each other either. They are free to be individuals.

Also, I dont know why you think I should consider you higher status or even be aware of your nick when i am responding.

In that, you are literally trying to use sexist stereotype to make me do what you want. The sexist stereotype that invalidates what i wrote and my opinions, using imaginary status instead. That is tripple hard no for me, I refuse to play this game.
True. I was unaware of this.
I'm not implying anything. I'm saying that we'll end up with herd immunity whether we successfully make and distribute a vaccine or not. There are two ways to get that outcome: the easy way and the hard way. The linked article is wrong because it suggests that the easy way is the only way.
