I am responding properly. What's going on your misguided usage of the word genocide. You're throwing down a huge word and then claiming you're talking about sterilization rather then slaughter. It's manipulation through and through. You know what people think when you use the word genocide yet you still use it based off of a technicality on how some sources define the word. It's like anti abortionists calling abortion clinics murder clinics. Yeah technically abortion clinics are murdering babies but let's be real.... you are not an idiot, when you say the word genocide you are purposely evoking overtones of the holocaust and mass slaughter.

You know mass slaughter is not happening but you use the word to promote your agenda then fall back on the technicality when you're called out on it. I called you out on it by saying that mass slaughter isn't happening in China and claim by "genocide" you mean mass sterilization and that I'm taking things to the extreme. No. I'm not doing that. Bottom line: You're just being manipulative and playing word games. You could have easily specified that you meant mass sterilization very very early on in the conversation the minute I brought up "slaughter"... yet you chose not to because this is your stupid game.

Let's be real, you lost the argument and now you're running away by insulting me rather then defending your own point. I don't blame you, there's nothing left to defend anyway.

> Maybe people are objecting to a tiny % of critical theorists trying to seize control of acceptable language from the top down.

The problem with that tiny % is, that they are loud, and that we give them attention. And by we, i include everyone, from a reddit upvter to mainstream media.

It's 2020, milk is racist, rice is racist, syrup is racist,... and all that because of a few loud people powered by the media, grabbing views from the offended few and utraged many.
Theres something frustrating about having to retrofit my prewar 1 BR apartment with 2 ACs, 1 space heater, air cleaner, 3 humidifiers, co2, pm2.5, temp and humidity sensors just to get the same air a modern suburban house has with builtin central air and humidifier. I don’t think we can stand any more gadgets around.
Something I've had trouble finding resources for is how to apply probabilistic/Bayesian techniques and thinking to chaotic dynamical systems. People keep telling me "Look up MCMC" but I don't see the relevance to dynamical systems (further than the notion that you can maybe sample from them with MCMC somehow?)
There have been ransomware attacks that are covers for outright attacks, iirc some where the payment and decryption mechanism didn't even function.

On a more theoretical level, it's certainly possible to do both at the same time, two birds with one stone. But it seems a lot of the big gangs are suspected state-sponsored, which is less terrorism and more cyber warfare

Depends in your definition of "still around". Last update over 8 years ago.
>Where I think this falls short is that, when spinning up a new project, you'd start with a blank page, so people _don't_ have the opportunity to determine whether they disagree with your moderation style until enough bad things have actually happened. Why not carry over your learnings from previous projects?

If every single project on GitHub right now removed its CoC, how much would really change over the next month or two? The vast majority of people know what's generally acceptable or unacceptable, and the vast majority of open source project owners share that sensibility. There may be a rare case of a project owner who thinks saying "hi, it might be better to do [X]" is offensive, or a contributor who thinks it's okay to say "this code is fucking terrible, you're a moron", but unless you're dealing with Linus Torvalds or someone else really unusual, it's almost never a concern.

When contributing to a project with such a blank page, you run the risk of encountering that odd project owner who seems to diverge from almost everyone else in the community, but I think the risk is so low and the impact so minor that it's not worth worrying about it much. And if it's truly a concern for some reason, you can just click on the owners' other projects or Google their names/monikers to see if anything concerning comes up.

I definitely think project owners should moderate shitty behavior, and I think for other sorts of communities (like message boards) there might be stronger requirements for somewhat more explicit rules, and if a particular project for some reason has had more than one instance of behavior the owner finds unacceptable but contributors don't then it makes sense to explicitly clarify some things, but in general I don't really understand all of the bureaucracy surrounding this.
> And HN is pretty friendly to discussion of big-media-tech censorship in general.

As long as you blame the "correct" people. You can blame politicians, rich executives, Russia, China and you will be lauded here.

You blame the hypocrisy of certain social movements, FAANG employees, Nordic countries, in general anything that can impact the POV of the average HN user and you will be downvoted swiftly. Most websites, this included, do not work to amplify the spectrum of opinions presented but to concentrate it in a tiny, fiercely regulated window. In that sense, old forums, usenet and even the daily mail comment section were more egalitarian.
Maybe it's not what's being said but how it's being said. And, the irony of your bit about intelligence is that you're critiquing an instance of pattern recognition. ;)

Wait a second. "The fake letter was part of new skills being tested by the military as it hones its expertise for launching propaganda missions at home and abroad."

The Canadian military is launching propaganda missions in Canada? (Or at all, for that matter)? WTF?

"The Nova Scotia propaganda training comes as the Canadian Forces spools up its capabilities to conduct information warfare, influence operations and other deception missions aimed at populations overseas and, if necessary, the Canadian public."

With anything productivity related there's an intense honeymoon period where it seems like you've found the magical productivity elixir. In reality, you're just high on placebo. It's far too easy to chase that high from app to app, method to method.
For the most part, you can read the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard to get an idea of what all the different directories do: https://www.pathname.com/fhs/

Distros mostly keep to this, but they implement their own details and you should look into each distribution to know exactly what goes on in any particular one.
Sometimes the tar files are just archives that get extracted at /, which is a fairly primitive but functional way to distribute packages.

For a description of the directories, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

Note that these directories do not actually have many hard and fast rules... while you can't change /proc, you can argue all you like over whether something goes in /bin or /sbin, or argue whether it should go in /usr. There are a ton of differences in the details.
Outrage spreads just fine without machine learning. All you need is a platform that makes mass signaling cheap. Maybe machine learning intensifies the effect a small amount, but I am not aware of evidence that it is decisive.

I would advise taking a deep breath first. How the f..k will you bring "full might of military" on some group located everywhere? Invade few countries? I sincerely hope that by now people in congress have little bit more of that gray matter. And what exactly does that "no mercy" mean?
Genuine question: what the hell do Nordic countries have to do with media censorship in general?

Many people who have built or used GIS applications are familiar with "Null Island." It should probably have been called "Bug Island." If you have bugs in your GIS code, this is where they tend to lurk.
I'd say it's more fear? If I don't get any hint as to what kind of behavior the individual maintainers consider dickheadish, I have to worry about that with every interaction. If you have a CoC with even very vague and subjective rules, I at least know what kind of stuff you care about and then at worst I can be extra careful around that.

(Sure, I can shrug off the judgement, but being blocked from their repo is still a hassle if it could have been avoided with better up-front communication.)
I see why it can be confusing. The funny thing is that you can edit posts, but you can't save them on the server. In fact, you can save a local copy of a site built with TW, but it becomes your own copy. You can go to the settings and hide the save button. Not sure if you can totally disable it thou.

What I like about this model vs. others is that it's entirely self-contained in a single file. As long as you have a browser that supports Javascript, you can work with it. And as much as I like modern tools like Obsidian, TW pretty much guarantees me that if I save 1,000 tiddlers on a file (up to 100K are known to be possible), 20-30 years from now, as long as HTML and Javascript are still capable of being ran somewhere, my entire knowledge base will be there.

Heck, other than some Unicode issues I have, my entire site is happily in archive.org as a single, snappy file right now...

It would certainly make them less efficient and result in more errors, but hopefully they wouldn’t grind to a complete halt.

Why describe the solution to a problem, and then say there is no good solution? Do we need to make HRVs more popular, and hope that economies of scale can drive costs down, or are most of the costs already due to unavoidable labor?

> Noise issues are happily easy to control: earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones will generally do the trick. It would be utopic to eliminate bothersome noise from the environment altogether, but it’s not necessary.

Another option is to raise the noise floor of your environment. Copy some brown noise onto an MP3 player, run it through a decent set of speakers, and raise the volume until you can't hear the interfering source.

A portion of them, similar to a physical laborer who owns his own hand tools. And, similar to that, its the whole means of production for some goods, and a tiny subset of other goods, and somewhere in between for lots.

WiMAX is extremely common in Japan, with tens of millions of subscribers, though I'm not aware of anyone who uses it with native drivers. It's all WiMAX to WiFi/USB pocket routers and the like, regardless of how you connect to them Linux will just see some flavor of a cooked Ethernet interface.

It would be interesting if anyone is actually using this at the lower layer with these drivers though. I've never heard of it. It seems like a closed ecosystem where the ISPs always provide the equipment.

we really gotta disambiguate some terms, here. Bernie is a leftist. Biden is a liberal. Hillary was / is neoliberal (which you could also peg biden as, and which we used to call neoconservative). The democratic party is, on a good day, liberal but actually neoconservative.

That is to say:
Leftist : power to the people. pro social programs, pro election reform, held of the belief that unchecked markets lead to unchecked evil.
Liberal: pro regulation, socially left. don't-rock-the-boat political and economic mentality. pro middle class, pro tax
neoconservative / neoliberal: let the markets run free, deregulate the banks, remove capital gains taxes and push tax burden down the chain to the working class. extremely permissive business laws. heavy focus on socially liberal policies like gun regulation, abortion, and gay rights because it makes for a wonderful distraction while their wall street buddies rob everyone blind and deaf.

please stop clumping leftists in with the rest. we hate that shit. there are barely any leftist politicians, and the democratic party spends most of it's time trying to get them to shut up. we're as mad about it as anyone else.
According to wikipedia definition he's 'secondary homeless'

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

"moving between temporary shelters, including houses of friends, family and emergency accommodation"

Actually reading the article, it doesn't mention him being homeless. So unless the original article was edited recently, I'd say the clickbait aspect comes from the HN thread title.

I also wonder how much of the SPA trend by mega corps was about shifting compute “client side” to save money on infrastructure. It’s kinda like modern data warehouses where storage/compute is now so cheap you do ELT and not ETL anymore. I probably wouldn’t do an SPA today unless I really had to.

This, this is the post to read.

It is indeed a tarpit that traps people who mean well and legitimately want to Get Things Done. The knowledge work/"second brain" community will have you convinced that everyone who you run into online is a PhD candidate. The irony is that a lot of people intend to "simplify" their workflow but end up reaching for more things to pile onto it. The breaking point for me was the first time I loaded Obsidian. It is a nice program but it incentifies Doing Too Much, at least for my taste. Granted, what influences a person to even care about how they take notes varies. The chaps over at Zettelkasten.de actually advocate for a very simple approach to note taking that can work anywhere. Personally, I've found that it's best for me to do the bulk of my work in a Plain Text environment -- plain like the text box that I am using to type this comment plain.

I don't think it's particularly insightful. I'm just stating it since it doesn't seem to occur to most adults these days.

Certainly it is interesting to consider the set of circumstances that give victimhood and fragility such power to those who claim it.

That's quite the inversion. It is interesting that the people who focus so much on the analysis of hierarchies to the point where they see them everywhere and assert the unjustness of hierarchy qua hierarchy end up just inverting these hierarchies and using their power to tyrannize other people.

What does that say about the people that allow them to do that?
For an academic zettelkasten that involves references and citations, are there any tools with good support for bibtex (or DOI references in general)?

Terrorists need revenue
RIP Google Play Music, 2011 – 2020
A war that was started on incorrect pretenses is not the same thing as terrorism. Among other things, the US did not deliberately target the Iraqi civilian population, and made their best efforts to avoid civilians being harmed. The US provided substantial reconstruction aid to Iraq to help undo the damage of the war afterward - more than $60 billion.

However, it's hard to avoid there being some undesired casualties in war, especially when the the fighters on the opposing side are using guerilla tactics and hiding within the civilian population, such as deliberately fighting, sniping, or using mortars from within what are otherwise civilian compounds, or even mosques, forcing the US to either ignore the attacks (unacceptable) or respond and attack mosques and civilian compounds.

All of our soldiers are unformed, with a flag, and follow rules of engagement that involve not attacking anyone except positively identified targets (i.e. observed holding weapons). Terrorist groups operating in the middle east wear no uniform and exploit our rules of engagement by attacking, dropping their weapons before the coalition can respond, then pretending to be civilians. Even though they're the only men-of-age in an area from which an attack just took place, since they stashed their weapons somewhere, the rules of engagement mean that our troops can't do much if they didn't observe a person holding a weapon.

Uniformed soldiers fighting other uniformed soldiers is different than terrorists that attack civilians or soldiers and then hide, pretending to be civilians.

The Iraq war was started on pretenses that we now know are false, but let's not conflate that with groups that deliberately target civilians (with suicide bombs in shopping centers), or conduct attacks even on military facilities and then pretend to be civilians when pursued for a counter-attack.
And plenty just want to get paid - it's actually pretty impressive how many take down / don't share if they are paid or actually come through with the decryption keys.

Hard to see how they are terrorists? What are they pushing to accomplish with their terror campaign.

Anyways, my health care system constantly assures me security is its "top" priority and "state of the art".
Optogenetic stimulation I think was the term, if I recall AAV was mentioned as a vector for introducing the requisite genetic changes, and if I recall, results were claimed outside of any sovereign defense context of 7mm depth.

For what it's worth GRPC-Web is a pretty nice solution here.

My team generates backend stubs from our GRPC spec which allows us to jump right to implementing our business logic.

Frontend projects make use of the GRPC-Web client codegen to make calling the API simple and type safe (we use typescript).

We mostly use all the official GRPC tooling for this. We write backends in golang and dotnet core so GRPC-Web is supported quite well out of the box.

I wrote a slightly modified Typescript codegenerator to make client code simpler as well: https://github.com/Place1/protoc-gen-grpc-ts-web

I had no idea it was that common. Always thought the husband took a big financial hit. But yeah, our situation ended up being exactly as you described (she gets to keep the house but has to pay me my share of it).

> I think you look forward to therapy because it's someone to talk with about personal stuff and it's your only outlet currently for that.

Therapy is definitely my social moment of the week, and I think you're right that that's why I look forward to it. I thought I had made friends at work over the years (considering how much we did outside of work), but they pretty much seem to have reverted to being just coworkers, despite me repeatedly reaching out for 2-3 months at the start of the pandemic (just to chat, not to do stuff outside - we're all pretty freaked out). I eventually gave up.

> Let me also suggest that you may need to work on cleaning your house.

I don't think that part is a problem. I really dislike messy places, so I keep my place clean and tidy at all times. And I'm a minimalist, so there's not much to clean to begin with.

I definitely need some form of social thing.
