I'm a lowercase independent—for the life of me, why did the Democrat party choose the worst candidate of the lot two campaigns in a row?

Biden has tons of baggage. If he had an (R) next to his name and nothing else in life different he’d be getting creamed for all his previous policies, stances and quotes. In addition, mentally he’s not lasting four years of intense presidential demands.

In 2016 Clinton was Bush heavy (or comparatively Bush would be Clinton lite)
Did that happen to any site already? Wonder how they could detect it and if that detection can be circumvented. It is a natural visit in this case. Click fraud should be taught at school or in self defense courses to be honest.
I didn’t actually read the article. Every Tesla submission on HN usually has someone white knighting and this was true to form
Yes but America did that to foreign people during war. Its something else when a government does this to its own people.

Really happy to see that the good ideas from Observable notebooks are being copied elsewhere. I don't use Julia myself at the moment (although I think it's a beautiful language), but I know some people who will be very happy with this! Also, the playful enthusiasm in the presentation video linked in the description just makes me smile:

Ok, the website https://ultralig.ht/ says "No source code for proprietary modules." for the free version. So it's technically not an open source project. I won't add closed-source binaries to my open source projects, so unfortunately this technology is not interesting, regardless whether it's good or not.

How well does text conversion work for joined handwriting? All the examples I've seen appear to use carefully segmented handwriting, which is a bit of a red flag to me.

> I denounced it online several times, that's all I can do.

You can do more. Write your representatives. Call their offices (both Democrat and Republican), and buy fewer Chinese products, even it costs more money.

Please keep in mind I'm not criticizing you here, just saying you could literally do more if you wanted to.

I do get annoyed with people who "complain online'. That's just a waste of time. Call your representatives. They will respond to thousands of phone calls from constituents saying "do X".

For some reason we think Facebook is our democracy, not our elected representatives.
I am a Chinese. I don't think anyone outside Xin Jiang knows any details about these.

My wife is from Xin Jiang. She is not Uighurs. I have been to Xin Jiang. I don't think non-Uighurs in Xin Jiang knows the details about these.

They are like secrets. You know something is happening. But you don't know what exactly is happening.
China is already more powerful than most of the world. The uphill battle that lies ahead will be way harder than dealing with nazis.
I’ve seen fixed amount (e.g. 50¢) and fixed percentage rates (e.g. 0.8% for Visa/Mastercard, 2.5% for Amex). I haven’t ever seen actual cost-based calculations offline, but I suspect I may have online, just once or so.

What I was quoting was the letter of the law, which is, I suspect, regularly violated. As a society we just let it slide, because we understand roughly what’s being done and why, and know that the differences are slight. But if it was presented as a percentage and was over 2% for Visa/Mastercard, I imagine some would start asking questions, because that’s more than one would expect.
> If you'd like to standardise a way to require DNS-over-HTTPS in supporting software, and convince operating system distributors to generally ship it, I'm fairly sure Firefox would be up for using that rather than its current mechanism, similar to how it uses system proxy settings. As it is there is no such standard.

There already is a standard way for me to tell all the programs which run on my system which DNS servers to use: /etc/resolv.conf. Any program which does not respect the values I set there is disobeying me.
If you take a trip to the East Bay you'll see mixed-use buildings with the storefronts converted to housing.
Absolutely , I cannot agree more about using the little power we have to bring about change. I cannot be in the wrong side of history on this.
Yeah, I’m afraid so. I wish liberal politicians were willing to stand up to China, and I try to encourage them to do so. But at the moment I’m unfortunately stuck supporting people like Trump.

At the end of the day it boils down to how much damage is Trump and other conservatives able to inflict compared to the CCP. I’m pro immigration, privacy, eu, choice, police-reforms, etc. my views are very much aligned with what you see in Scandinavia.. but at the end of the day, I see CCP as the greatest threat that the world is facing, and I feel voting against all my beliefs to help stop them is a necessary sacrifice.
Money is a game we play to organize how we, as a society, spend our resources. It works because:

1. Usually, at smaller numbers, you get money by doing something for society: i.e., you have a job.

2. At larger numbers, money is economic decision-making power: people with the money decide what products get built, what movies get made, and so on. And usually, if you make a good decision with that money, you end up with more money and thus more power to make economic decisions; and if you make a bad decisions, you end up with less money and less power to make economic decisions.

Obviously these aren't always true. I'm not an anti-capitalist or a lassaize-faire libertarian: I want rules to cause our system to approximate the above two patterns as closely as possible.
I'm all for it. And also boycott most muslim countries for their despicable treatment of women and gays (or other minorities like Christian or Shiites etc)
Lego sets intended for younger children tend to have more large, single purpose pieces. For example, [0] is a set intended for children as young as 4 and it has the single purpose car chassis pieces you mentioned. However, in the same City theme this set intended for 5+ year olds [1] has the same sort of generic chassis you remember. The city theme as a whole though does tend to have more single purpose pieces such as plane cockpits or boat hulls, but even then you can use the pieces to build new boats or planes. Furthermore, the Creator theme has no single purpose pieces for at all, those models are made completely out of generic pieces (not just bricks mind you, there are lots of slopes and other kinds of really useful pieces used). For example, [2] is a pirate ship made completely out of generic pieces that even has instructions to rebuild it into a Pirate inn or a skull island. If pirates aren't your fancy, how about a monster burger truck [3] or a twin rotor helicopter [4]? Again, no single purpose pieces in sight. Even the modern Star Wars sets tend to have mostly generic pieces and even the custom pieces made for the set tend to be things like windscreens that can be used for custom spaceships.

Smart conclusion, but if you take it a bit further you'd realise that it's way easier to make businesses stop buying from china through the power of one small group of people (the government) rather than trying and failing to get 300 million people to stop buying things.
> There's a billion people there, and most of them have nothing to do with the government.

Because that billion people there is the only one who can change the government.

I wish I understood the origin of all the pro-Abe PR narratives in the US. In Japan, he’s immensely unpopular and emblematic of the country’s corrupt, one-party democracy.

His supposed “revitalization” of the Japanese economy has done little more than further impoverish average people, so he can hand out tax benefits to the wealthy and his cronies. He’s dismantled press freedom in a way that other politicians on the far right only dream of, having fired or demoted several prominent journalists who voiced (by Western standards) mild criticism of him.
Who decides what’s better?
I think that regarding free pass the US get it all the time. Look at the Iraq war, I think that only western country that had to suffer consequences was France with the Freedom Fry silliness. Moreover in the US almost everybody is proud to have fight this war...

We in Europe should be more vocal about what US and China think they can do to the rest of the world without consequences. China is an awful country, we just have to look at what they did in Tibet, for the last 40 years... there is nothing new.

European country are currently doing nothing and this is despicable, my country being the worst, we just discovered that Chinese police officer are invited here to identify potential Chinese to send back to China... the moral standpoint is very weak, and only facts matter.
Any trade agreement should have basic human rights mentioned in the first paragraph.

This is something we can actually fight for.

The controller mappings were a little unnatural in places but I did reasonably well with reading their notation/tab. Fast forward to when I tried to pick it up again a few weeks ago ... I can't read their notation/tab for the life of me. It's so confusing. Need to rewire my brain somehow.

I think the point is that most ordinary C-code should already conform to this access pattern. The side comment about aliasing is a great big hint in that direction.

There is no way to say in /etc/resolv.conf that you want to use a DNS-over-HTTPS server.

==He loves the money coming from China more than anything else. I want him to be reminded by this. He put his millions before human lives, just like some nazi collaborators did.==

All of this could be said about our current President and his family. He has far more power than LeBron James, maybe we should hold him accountable?
What would you replace it with?
I think it's useful to directly use the word which describes this strategy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

This makes it faster for you to refute their point, especially in front of other people who might be convinced by this argument at first.
The "Muslim minorities" line is a trope used in Western media for the last couple of decades, especially in the wake of more interest in the Muslim world following 1990s and early 21st-century Islamist terrorism, but it obscures the fact that many Uighurs are non-religious or outright anti-religious. China is pleased at this "Muslim minority" angle that the Western media and NGOs use, because it can spin oppression of the Uighurs as a crackdown on Islamism. However, as I said, religion per se is not the issue here. The problem for Beijing is that Xinjiang has been too independent-minded, because the Uighurs (unlike most of China's minorities) only came under Han domination recently.
Min/Max... That's exactly what happened. The beauties of typing this on an iPad ;)
Boycotting "Made in China" labelled products is not effective enough. How would you motivate large population groups to engage globally? Politicians and democratic countries should force China to stop torturing their own citizens based on religious or ethnic affiliation.
This is nonsense, China is not communist. You cannot possibly think slapping a label on their government party makes it communist.
Before Word integrated its own improved version tracking in more modern versions, during my undergrad I participated in a research project to add version tracking to Word documents by abusing its zip file format[1]. My research partner created a plugin to manage the versions, and my main contribution was a Java tool that attempted version merging[2].

It wasn't fleshed out or usable, but it was an interesting project. I was impressed at how open the Word/Office format was, this was before Microsoft's reemergence into openness and open source.

*have it arrive the next day, realize they sold you a misprint as new, go and return the book, write an angry return text. Get the promise they will send you a new one, get another misprint, write an angry review

Seriously, Amazon really was good once. Now I'd rather order a book from any competitor that cares about their customers. Much less hassle.
But notably you can’t use any SSO providers. So if you want to use SSO you must support login with apple.
This is rather obvious. We can all just choose to be a little more resourceful. Its amazing how far little changes like these can take us when deployed at large scales.
My bet is that Zoom understand the GDPR just fine, and don't care.

They have repeatedly shown that they will do whatever they want, and then act contrite later if they're caught out. They are not trustworthy, and I won't run their software on any nonsandboxed environment AT ALL. There's utterly no reason to.
Using mouse buttons (both RMB and LMB) at the same time while also independently moving the cursor.

Rarely you want to hold both mouse buttons or hold RMB while also move the cursor.

Source: I can play first person perspective games quite decently on my macbook using the trackpad, but holding the mouse buttons while aiming is the hardest.

Why would I subject myself to such misery? Playing games in train.
I saw this shared on Twitter this morning, and had some thoughts:
While the graph is good, it is specific to the US and ignores the fact that a large amount of the amateur population is 50+ - the hobby is healthy now, but there's an age crisis coming soon. It doesn't really reflect the health of the entire hobby, globally, just a specific subset.

Millenials aren't young any more, I'm millenial and I've held a ham license for over a decade - since my 20s. We're creeping in to middle age now, and are somewhat past killing anything. We need Zoomers - Gen Z to be interested, and the first step is probably not mislabeling them as millenials!

That said, there's a robust discussion to be had around this topic. I absolutely love my hobby, the things it makes me do and the constant stream of projects it gives me, but one day I do fear there won't be any folks on the radio for me to talk to at the end of the projects.

I've got friends in the local hacklab interested, and I'm trying to set up a /good/ station there to let us play, teach and share more with people who aren't licensed... but it's really just a slow, expensive passion project!
Are they our values if we don’t stand up for them?

In the article you linked, you can find mentions of QAnon near the end:

> One such show is "Edge of Wonder," a verified YouTube channel that releases new NTD-produced videos twice every week and now has more than 33 million views. In addition to claims that alien abductions are real and the drug epidemic was engineered by the “deep state,” the channel pushes the QAnon conspiracy theory, which falsely posits that the same “Spygate” cabal is a front for a global pedophile ring being taken down by Trump.

> One QAnon video, titled “#QANON - 7 facts the MEDIA (MSM) Won’t Admit” has almost 1 million views on YouTube. Other videos in the channel’s QAnon playlist, which include videos about 9/11 conspiracy theories and one titled “13 BLOODLINES & their Diabolical End Game,” gained hundreds of thousands of views each.

> Travis View, a researcher and podcaster who studies the QAnon movement, said The Epoch Times has sanitized the conspiracy theory by pushing Spygate, which drops the wildest and more prurient details of QAnon while retaining its conspiratorial elements.

Note that links between this Youtube channel and The Epoch Times is not obvious, but the article you linked already covered that.

I've tried to verify the video [1], it seems to be taken down, but searching the link on Google resulted in various cross references on the Internet.

That's irrelevant to the issue at hand. It wasn't even the main gist of my initial comment, but it was the one that got sniped because this is a technical board and people love their "well akshually"'s.

The main gist is that FB is trying to use their customers to bring force to bear on Apple so they can make more money. They don't give a shit about the customers.

And the customers aren't paying more money. Some of us can disagree with Apple's approach to their walled garden without thinking that means FB should be empathized with here.

They're both shitty company's in their own way, but at least Apple isn't putting its customers in the middle of their fight.

THAT was the main gist of my comment, and what no one wanted to actually address.
That's the trend du jour :-) (see also Flutter, Jetpack Compose, SwiftUI, …)

The real reason for this is, Powell has it's own book store that competes with Amazon.

I don’t understand what the ‘cancel culture’ comment is supposed to mean.

There are a million tweets condemning China’s behavior... way more than the number of tweets targeting people who are ‘cancelled’

The difference is that tweets can effect a regular person’s life, and they are ‘cancelled’. China doesn’t care. A company will act to fire a single person who behaves badly because of consumer pressure; it doesn’t cost them much and is good PR. Stopping doing business with China is a lot costlier, so they don’t give in to the same consumer pressure that they would for an individual employee.

The different outcome doesn’t mean there is some hypocrisy amongst the people tweeting their support for ‘cancelling’ someone.

It just means that tweets aren’t that powerful for real change.
Are you quite aware of how much blood is spilled when China goes through political turmoil? Aside from the world wars, a huge chunk of the top 10 bloodiest conflicts in history are Chinese internal conflicts.

You're asking people who understand very well that standing up for a new government is going to be extremely costly.

In the meantime, you want to deprive them of work.

Ever wonder how those two things are connected?
Ah yes, it was never "true communism", the favourite excuse of the more extreme left.

It kinda matches the "everything I don't like is communism" of the most extreme right.
> I find it a bit odd that people think Netflix is worth more money than a tool that might transform your creative output.

While the price is nearly the same, Netflix pays for thousands of employees and hundreds of actresses & crews to produce entertainment.

I really do not understand the downvoting here. The one reply on this comment says that we are not that powerful. Greta Thrunberg literally wrote a book saying this is not the case.
TL;DR: Working in a notebook in a browser is a terrible way to write a program but a fantastic way to explore data.

Even though notebooks are a common cause of headache in my world (I work on ML deployment), I think they're an incredibly valuable tool, and the familiar, visual interface of the browser plays a big part.

It clicked for me when I took a statistical genetics class taught by a team member of Hail.is (open source genomic analysis library). Coming from a dev background, I found working in a browser to be a clunky, awful experience—until I saw the way my classmates, most of whom were scientists by focus, used it. My instinct is to think of code in terms of the architecture of a program, but for them, code blocks were like buttons on a calculator. The speed at which they could iterate, and their ability to jump around, really drove home the value of the browser interface.

Would I want to write an API in one? Absolutely not. But for tinkering with genomic data? They're ideal in many ways.

That has more to do with globalization and how we measure inflation and unemployment than monetary policy. If you look at markets that aren't influenced as highly by global trade (like housing, healthcare, and education) they are greatly inflated.
MC could really use a shipping estimator. I remember ordering a $10 thing and getting charged $40 after shipping, which I didn’t m or would happen until after it shipped. Other than that I agree.
Technically, having started no new wars, makes him one of the best presidents in history (as a non-American, that's the most important dimension of any US presidency.)

(Caveat: I think US entering WWII was justified so I don't blame FDR, and also given that Bush & Obama attacked so many countries, it's hard to find another country to invade, so arguably Trump had an easier job... but still. Good job!)

It strips out the unneccessary bells and whistles.
