I'm just going off international recognition, and saying nothing like Hojali is going off right now.

It's also a bit absurd to take territory by force, and claim "ethnic cleansing" when others try to take it back.

Seriously! Go do it now! These sites are built with the goal of pushing people into groups that are always angry at each other. Angry polarized groups spend more time on the site and are easier to sell things to.

I would argue it would make Democrats win much less as well. We would probably end up with level headed moderates who are best aligned with the majority of the country's voters. Not a extremist that somehow scared and scammed 51% of voters.

None of the established powers-that-be will help change the system that keeps them in power.
The devil is in the details. How many little things would need to be changed, refactored, or rewritten to move to another host?
Probably the 100% renewable system will end up cheaper than one that includes nuclear. This requires prediction of where costs will be going, but the worldwide the market seems to be betting on that outcome, not nuclear, which only gets built when governments heavily tilt the scales.

I know the feeling. The most annoying discussions in my experience go something like this:

"Why aren't you coming to the company party?"

"Because that would likely exacerbate my chronic headache and I might be unable to work for several days."

"Oh wow, is it that bad? Have you tried acupuncture? My cousin had a headache and that really helped..." And a few minutes later: "Come on, the party will be fun, how bad could it be?"

I've learned to manage my condition well enough that people generally don't notice any problems. I've probably tried any remedies you can come up with, and so far the best way to cope is to live a boring life and go to bed at the same time every night after a peaceful evening. But because I'm not writhing in pain during the conversation, some people seem to think that I'm just coming up with excuses to not come to their party or whatever they are asking me to do.
You just proved my point, though.

A 'Congressional filibuster' is literally redundant filler used to fill time, often in the middle of the night to literally an empty room with no expectation of an audience or even a coherent message. People literally go up there and read Dr. Seuss out loud.

Find someone having reasonably candid dialogue with Bernie Sanders for 2.5 hours - I don't think it exists.

But that would be besides the point - Rogan's format is consistently an order of magnitude longer than others, it's open and generally unedited - this doesn't exist elsewhere.
Clever!

This seems like the sort of thing which could be adapted for amateur/DIY use.

It seems like you just need some hardware, which could be manufactured cheaply and easily, air-tight fabric, and a way of joining those.

I get the industrial / military / etc. uses, but I find the concept of anyone being able to build a temporary, usable structure in a custom configuration for a few hundred bucks a lot more interesting.

Still air is also a pretty good insulator, so if this were enclosed, it'd be a pretty good shelter even in colder climates.

It's sort of interesting history just repeats itself. Many (most) of the militant islamists group were also created with the help of the CIA, example case: the taliban. The state which is the known biggest supporter of militant islamism in the world is a dictatorship propped up by the US for decades, I'm talking about Saudi Arabia.
Nuclear is not orders of magnitude better in EROI, so I don't know what you think you were claiming.
It's hard because so much has become politicized. The dominant item in many people's lives right now is the coronavirus either directly or indirectly, which unfortunately has also become political.
My wife wrote a paper about this phenomenon. This happens in specific policy contexts as well as generally.

In political science, the phenomenon is called the “devil shift”, coined by Sabatier. Similarly, there is also the “angel shift”: you see people who agree with you as having more virtuous motivations.

My wife, Dr. Juniper Katz, wrote about these shifts in the fracking context: https://www.academia.edu/37275520/The_Space_Between_Demoniza...
> People have the right to expect statistical normality in other people.

Except, that there often is a disconnect between statistical normality, and normality. For the longest time, people were expected to be men, despite how glaringly obvious that is false.

Still, people are often expected to be rich (median wealth in US is below 100k), well-educated (more than half have no degree).

Our society is still filled with things we expect to be normal, but it is often unclear which becomes first. Is society starting up at 7am because there are few night owls, or are there few night owls because society starts up at 7am in the morning?
Roundabouts can also be a nightmare for pedestrians.
"expecting the majority of people not to be insinctively disgusted by your sexual practices is anti-social."

You should not make such strong statements, you betray poor knowledge of history.

Ancient Greece, and Rome here were were quite accepting of homosexuality. Hiduis have entire temples with states engaging in various sexual activity, including honosexual, group sex, etc.

Also what is "being anti-social"? Like what does it mean in this context - is anyone disagreeing with 'status quo' antisocial?
Was Ghandi anti-social, are histers and goths antisocial?
for new housing heating costs will be absolutely huge compared to gas

Isn't it more nuanced than that? Don't know UK rules, but since you mention new housing: aren't these required to adhere to some minimum of insulation, likewise for renovations, thereby drastically reducing the energy required in the first place (I mean if I just compare our renovated house with my parent's, energy requirement is 4 to 5 times less per square m)? Moreover depending on climate, cost to produce a given amount of energy is lower for heta pumps than for gas?
I agree, we are all human after all. But that's becoming more and more difficult. The divide between the left and the right is no longer revolving around ideology, politics, regulation, laws, etc. It's now become a matter of "life and death", "racism" and "violence" for a large chunk of the Left (and to some extent more and more from the Right too if I'm being honest). The slogans that are emerging are being sponged by the individuals on the ground, and that is starting to make reasonable non-political discussion next to impossible.

I.e. You can no longer mention in-passing that you support certain parties/politicians/political-beliefs.
It is very sad that the authors of the article either believed in all these accusations against the Russians or are afraid to say that this is nonsense so that they are not accused of supporting the Russians.

I want to note that the Russian government also accuses its political opponents of being foreign agents, using the same rhetoric.
Overcoming Writer's Block
I doubt the phenomenon has anything to do with the US in the ROW.

Here in NL, a NATO member, it has been primarily the 'left' which has been painting groups with different opinions as 'nazis' 'fascists' etc. Vegans describing other people as murderers.

I blame this culture for our last political murder [0] which already happened in 2002.

This phenomenon is not new, I think it has to do with the dissolution of the USSR and with it, the ultimate defeat of the original ideals of the 'left'.

I got the Xiaomi 9T Pro (variant of the K20 Pro) when it was released, it's one of the very few phones that fulfill my criteria for a phone that would last a long time

* Repairable (modular design, pull-tabs for battery)
* Good build quality (JerryRigEverything approved)
* Rootable
* Stable software, with long term vendor software updates
* Active community for ROMs (if the vendor stops supporting the phone)
* 3.5mm jack (with an excellent DAC)
* Relatively compact
* Flat screen, no notch/holepunch. Curved screens are more fragile and are more expensive to replace.
* Good battery life
* Spare parts available (e.g. main camera for $15 shipped)
* Cheap
* Decent processor, RAM and storage

There are some downsides, so not for everyone:

* Comes with bloatware, some of it can only be disabled with root
* Rooting is a pain
* Spare parts in China, so might take a while to arrive
* Launcher is not great, but can be easily replaced
* Camera is not best in class
Peoples willingness to line up behind banners, flags and slogans without bothering to look at what those politicians are actually selling baffles me.
I think if people from both sides were willing to ignore that and just sit down and talk about what kind of county they want to live in they would find they have a lot more in common than they think. I think this is what the article is proposing, and I think I agree with it.

"No, reaching a settlement is not considered "winning" a suit. Companies generally settle when their legal fees for going to court would exceed the amount of the settlement."

I was going to write exactly this but didn't because it seemed too obvious to do so. The plaintiff ALSO has legal costs if they go for a ruling. This is why I said a settlement is usually considered a victory. If both parties already agree on the outcome then going trough the legal procedure is a waste of time and money. Only if sandmann's lawyers didn't agree on the settlement money then it would be advantageous to push for a ruling. Hence this could be considered 'winning' the suit even though there is no such thing on courts. only rulings(Ex, in favor of) and paying the legal fees of the other party.
I agree. After reading a few Tom Holland books (not really historical fiction) like Dominion, under the shadow of the sword, millennium, Rubicon you start to realise how awful ancient civilizations were. Slavery was just a just an accepted norm. Likelyhood of disease or famine killing you was way higher. Worst of all was probably lack of proper plumbing. Until fairly recently, human existence for the majority, was a picture of hell.
Yes unfortunately it's not uncommon at all that certain industries effectively get subsidized for their energy use and/or pay less taxes on it. In an ideal world that could be adjusted as well though but realistically that's not going to happen. Example from neighbouring country how crippled things can be: solar would be subsidized, leading to the ones with enough money putting complete factory roofs full with solar, to the point the time in which they'd gain back the initial cost would be a couple of years only. Don't get me wrong, great that they have solar energy, but there's way, way more concumer roofs out there but with an average income the initial cost for them is just too much.
Hyped to see someone implement this in C#. This is great!

Spanish Flu?

Though yes, it's a stupid name (Wuhan Virus would be "ok-ish" in my opinion though - if we didn't know which virus it was)
My favorite example of a (real) recent selective pressure is lactose tolerance, which is well-correlated with ancestry in regions that a) are prone to vitamin D deficiency (Northern Europe especially) and b) regions that have cows or sheep, regardless of sunlight. So in particular most of Africa is lactose-intolerant, but many pre-modern West African groups were pastoral herders and can digest lactose. It is a bit of a mystery how this happened: other lactose-intolerant groups still used milk to make yogurt and cheese with much less lactose, and it’s not clear why there would have been pressure for adults to drink raw milk - perhaps a water-borne disease caused a bottleneck?

See epidemiology here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_intolerance
Software engineering was life changing for me. I studied cognitive and computer sciences (CMU '03) - and when I graduated I realized I didn't know much about writing software.

Luckily, I found a software engineering course (Berkeley, 2005) after graduating and they let me attend without being enrolled. That professor (Kurt Keutzer) had wisdom! Literally life changing.

These engineering skills are totally different from what you learn in a computer science curriculum. I highly recommend a course like the one OP links.

On some level yes. But the unfortunate side is that it's seeping into the overall culture and previously-benign and relatively apolitical institutions. That makes it dangerous to "ignore" and hope it goes away due to us all deciding to be reasonable and ignore the hateful and prominent voices that use social-media as a megaphone.

Some institutions being actively soaked in identity politics and other divisive elements:

Higher education

Lower Education

United Nations

Local government bodies

It's well known that Russian trolls/bots use fake personas on social media in order to sow discord. Are you arguing that's not done at all, or that there is no evidence it's done in the article specific instance?

Stop buying Apple while you still can. It will not be long before you will not be able to install unsigned apps on your arm MacBook. Apple will have complete control of what you can and can not do which in effect gives a government full control of your device. It is extremely dangerous for democracy.

Security is hard but can be achieved to a reasonable degree without a complete lock down.

If Apple starts to loose market share other will stop copying these horrific practices.
The article goes into specifics, but the general premise is as old as humanity. The subtitle: "The new political polarization casts rivals as alien, unlikable and morally contemptible"

This is tribalism at its core. It's baked into us for evolutionary reasons that helped us survive, but is now a detriment.
A colleague and I used De Bruijn sequences as test input for comparing matches on recursively generated regexes between PCRE and our own regex engine. The sequence was guaranteed to give us a search hit regardless of the pattern so it was a nice way to control for good testing results.
The left (at least, the internet left) do this here in the UK too. Twitter seems to think all Tory voters are rich white men who want the poor to suffer.

Now I don't know if I'm in a bubble, because when I leave the internet and talk to actual lefties in person we always find a common ground. Hell, I have a friend group containing both anarcho communists and globalist one-world government types.
Yup, I read that. I'm sure that's just a journalist that can't tell the difference between a company receiving money from the government and a company not having to PAY the government.

Why am I sure? Because journalist are dumb and get that point wrong ALL the time. Just like revenue and profit. They just don't know the difference.

In my case, as in most, it depends.

For example, they are absolutely correct about "reinventing" encryption algorithms...unless you are a TLA, and want to have something that no one else has (and have some good nerds on staff).

It may also be good for control freaks (like Yours Truly), that deal with fairly sensitive data, and who don't feel comfortable using a well-known framework with a big presence on mitre.org.

I'm really pretty good at designing frameworks and SDKs/APIs. I've been doing it for over thirty years (since before they were coined terms).

Chances are good, that I'll probably be able to scare something up.

I like how it's OK to write a new coding language, but "reinventing the wheel," to write a backend.

Five Things I Wish I Had Known When Starting My Business
Much better than a 300% overspend. Any renewable project that is going in that direction would be cancelled. Not only are renewables easier to build in small modules, but the staged build-out allows any problems (like, bad cost estimates) to be identified and fixed (or aborted).

The modular nature of renewables also allows them to be much more resilient in the face of component failure, or in face of construction errors (with the exception of common mode design failures). This means they can be installed with less skilled labor that makes more mistakes.

Renewable fields are akin to server farms w. large numbers of replaceable blades. Nuclear plants are like mainframes.
I mean in some sense yes, but more importantly, you probably want to practice with a harmony instrument, i.e. one that can play full chords, which probably means piano, guitar... I can't think of any such instruments where it's easy to tune on the fly as with a violin.

> We are not talking about dogmas!

I'm not sure about that. To keep with the examples you stated earlier as being normative (namely being disgusted by homosexuality and being an early riser), for example, I am neither. Which according to your opinion is abnormal and should be shunned by society, because you consider not shunning homosexuals and nightowls anti-social. That sounds fairly dogmatic in these specific cases, and in general the attitude that minority behavior and tolerance of minority behavior should both be punished is itself a dogma.

To be fair, I don't see how dogma is avoidable. My assertion that minority lifestyles should not be shunned as long as they don't harm anyone is also dogmatic. It's just that we all have a habit of calling principles we disagree with dogma.

But if I had one shot to change your mind about this specific issue, my argument would be like this: there are so many opinions to be had and so many behaviors to engage in. Chances are, you are yourself also holding opinions or doing activities that are not shared by the majority. Do you consider those tendencies abnormal and anti-social? You may not like homosexuals or nightowls, but surely there are things where you diverge from the statistical everydayman? Would you then apply those policies of social repercussions to these activities by default because their existence threatens the integrity of the majority? And if so, why do you allow yourself those outlier behaviors, but don't apply the same tolerance to others?

I can empathize. I have had doctors mock and scoff at my RSI related pains, and people who don't understand computer usage-related injuries give me all sorts of well-meaning advice.

I've stopped going to docs and listening to such people, and instead focused on overall strengthening. This strategy is mostly based on what kind folks at HN have shared in various threads as having worked for their RSI, and suffice to say, it has helped (not cured) much more than any other advice.

As a former marathon runner, I tend to stick to the adage "listen to your own body" along with medical advice.
Of course, people can and do jaywalk all the time. I'm told it's different in some places but I am pretty sure that someone actually getting issued a ticket for jaywalking in Boston or NYC would practically be a newsworthy event. In actual life, (most) people do behave sensibly. Pedestrians cross empty streets at will and drivers mostly don't run over people who cross in the middle of traffic.

Whether you like it or not, there are cars in most areas of cities and pedestrians (and cyclists) mostly interact with them without too much carnage, in part because there are rules that most people follow most of the time.
Politics and government are definitely in the class of things we want to be boring. Interesting government and interesting politics were a major cause of death in the first half of the 20th century.

Apple Ordered to Pay VirnetX Another $502.8M for Patent Infringement
There aren’t many (if any) realistic options. It basically boils down to Apple, Android or some extremely niche third party special phone (Fairphone etc.) which are mostly Android anyway. So either you pay Apple for premium hardware and software quality but loose out on repairability. Or you get Android which is a potential or actual privacy nightmare. Or you get an obscure other phone which is less supported and usually not as good value for money.

The only thing that can really fix these problems is proper regulation. That’s the only language these companies understand.
I hear you on not wanting the advice of others. I've also heard the flip side - where people had lived with pain for so long then somebody (my partner is a physical therapist) tells them something or teaches them something that changes their life and they wish they'd pursued it sooner.
