The Mueller Report documents that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump meant with Russians multiple times to coordinate political activities during the 2016 campaign.

They weren't indicted because AG Barr, Donald Trump's personal appointee, has refused to indict them.

It is very possible that they could be indicted within the next year.
Exactly. Could even add a doctype of some kind to indicate nothing follows the "data" key to help with streaming (though I'm not familiar with streaming json and this may not really help in practice).

Apples and oranges, right? You need ten thousand hard drives to match the IOPS of one SSD and even with the 10000 disks your service latency will still be three orders of magnitude worse. The other advantage of an SSD is in terms of bytes per volume, in case rack density matters to you.
No. Biden is likely to win across multiple states by a large margin, notably in PA where he is above the point that would require a recount.
Has anyone paid attention to the Middle East lately? Quite a lot more peace achieved there recently.
I already have all that. Like I said in the part you trimmed out:

> Photos are the only things I don't have backups for due to their sheer size

The bottleneck here isn't storage space. It's bandwidth and transfer time, given Android's crappy file system interface. (iOS, of course, has none.)

I kept up with Google Photos backups for almost a year. But ain't nobody got time for that.

> How much does having the sides separate help?

All the difference in the world.

I'm currently on my second Matias Ergo Pro [1]. I love the thing, it is one of my favorite tools I've used in any industry. I put it up there with VIM, the hydraulic press, and Snap-On ratchets. I'll be honest, I prefer Cherry keys to these Alps clones, and the build quality is absolutely excellent in some aspects yet atrocious in other aspects. But a split keyboard with actual F* keys (used heavily in Jetbrains IDEs, plus I've got a bunch of KDE features on them) has become a necessary tool for me.

I'm now considering a Raise keyboard, which like the UHK is missing the F* keys. I'm right now prototyping some F* keypads, not unlike an independent numpad, but in truth I doubt that I will approach the level of comfort as the Matias boards.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have about mechanical or split boards. I've had quite a few )).

It seems you think "debt" is a bad word. To me it's a neutral word
From your article, the tax contribution amount for Germany, Denmark and France are 53.6%, 67.8% and 35.5%. If we take those numbers to get the pre-tax price it becomes 13.7, 12.8 and 11.4 cents per KWh respectively.

So while France generates electricity a bit more cheaply than the other two the difference is not massive, and could be explained by economic disparity (GDP per capita is higher for both than France).
> It's still on our todo list to have some form of karma sharing for situations like this, to make it be less of a race and/or lottery.

Just disable karma on topics like these. They are going to be submitted multiple times and very quickly anyway, nobody "needs" the karma and it doesn't matter if nobody gets it.
Yes, I'm pretty sure everybody here understands that AP doesn't officially decide who wins the election.

It still has significance.
Analysis is more complex than just what percentage of ballots remain. It was widely expected for Pennsylvania to have a decisive swap when Trump had a seemingly huge lead and Georgia a very red state was predicted as being a vastly closer race. North Carolina could have also been called as leaning Trump much sooner, but overall it was a fairly close race.

Voting by people in large groups are predictable and people spend a lot of effort getting this right. Out of 50 states exactly one was significantly different from predictions based on a significant shift in a specific group which is easy to miss in statewide polls.
what an obnoxious way to rain on a parade. everyone is more than aware of how the electoral system works.
And that is why you used gql codegen and typing to limit their capability to do so.

Part of the benefit of gql that people often overlook is its self documenting nature and when tied with automation tools its ability to provide a lot of flexibility for developers without compromising you db.

The gql server is ultimately what is responsible for this, and we use schema introspection to ensure the searchable / sortable fields are only exposed if indexed.
"Dewey Defeats Truman"
Well... you did ask.

Bottom line: it's a leftover from the 1980s. In the 1980s it was probably quite good. So was the Commodore 64, but you wouldn't use it to write your thesis on in 2020, now, would you?

It's a mess of multiple command line tools which run each other. None of which I understand or want to learn. tex, xetex, latex, xelatex, biblatex, texi2dvi, latexmk... What?

Its error messages might be very useful if you were running them by hand in 1985, instead of via 5 other tools. Literally these messages say things like "just type ? now", as if I'm doing this shit manually. No, I'm not, because I desire to use a computer to automate these tasks.

It's a mess of multiple packages which redefine each others' macros. Namespacing? Ha ha ha. Look at this crap: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/420448/error-illegal...

It gets in the way. If I open my article in a text editor, I want to see the title, author, abstract and first paragraph. Not 100 lines of backslashed computer blah. If I want to insert a picture, I don't want to have to write a paragraph of backslashed computer blah.

It's ugly. I don't want to see backslashes everywhere. I don't want to write `` to open quotation marks. I don't want to write \'e for é. I want to look at something nice when I write English.

Its model is that the markup specifies semantics, not syntax or layout. So you write \emph{} to emphasize something. This is bullshit. There are 100 reasons to use, e.g., italics: emphasis, foreign language, technical terms, etc. etc. Are we going to have a keyword for each of those? No. Just let me use italics. (Of course, they have that as well. Congratulations, you timewasters.)

Its culture is toxically up its own posterior. Oh, it's pronounced techhhh? Thank you for informing me, neccccchbeard. And if I have to read one more time "oh, don't use vertical lines in tables, just use \booktabs" in response to a question about HOW TO DO something....

Its toxic culture has infected academia. I've got referee reports saying "this wasn't written in TeX" as if that were a legitimate critique. PhD students are forced to learn it and spend nights crying and trying to make their tables work. Then they get Stockholm syndrome, become vastly proud that they know to write \ldots when they mean ..., and pass the filthy disease on to their students in turn.

tl:dr; Use HTML. Use Markdown. Use Microsoft Word. Hell, use RTF. Don't use TeX. Don't let your friends use TeX. Stop the madness now. Just Say No.
I think this is all anyone is really asking for.

TSV is a lot better, but still isn't great for tabs in fields (rare) and line breaks in fields (more common). One nice characteristic of tab-delimited is you can typically copy all the text from a text editor and paste right into a spreadsheet.

I'm not advocating for censorship, I'm simply pointing out that it's not so simple as to say that if there is no direct incitement to violence, that said speech is "acceptable".

Ongoing dehumanization of "others" is dangerous territory and needs to be acknowledged as such.

I think the closest solution is "cancel culture" (hate that term) where the general market rejects the offering but it's still allowed for "fairness".
but it's easy to understand why when the Republicans made it so difficult to count absentee ballots before election night,

In Pennsylvania, the Republican House passed a bill to start counting three days early but it died in the Senate under threat of veto from the Democrat governor -- https://apnews.com/article/2396bbdd1617a82c4919127726778711 The Democrats had a separate bill that would have started counting much earlier, but the Republicans opposed that for fear there would not be proper oversight over the counting process.

> you make the black market thrive and basically sponsor organized crime

You aren't "Making" a market, it exists already. The difference is we are no longer severely punishing the people who are getting victimized.

> Full legalization is the only moral and practical approach.

Full legalization for most drugs, I agree (weed, LSD, shrooms, plus a few others). But I'm not sure I'd agree that all drugs should be legalized. A measured approach as we have done with MJ is a good idea.
Media has not been neutral ever.

Any choice in publishing one news is simultaneously an active a choice in not publishing another. Furthermore, there is not one singular truth to report in the vast majority of news, in particular of political nature.

The solution is not to find another news outlet that feels more like truth. Instead, find a few different news outlets and understand their biases.
The show stopper here indeed are "modern" websites and electron apps, which telegram is iirc. They eat up all your ram quickly, and are are CPU hog, no matter how light weight the rest of your OS is. Linux doesn't magically make your hardware faster than it is.

But in other more traditional use cases, lubuntu can make quite a difference to Windows 10.
> You'll likely never be in a situation where over-querying via a non-granular REST call will ever be an issue worth optimising around.

Sure, but that's only one advantage of GraphQl. Personally, I'd use GraphQl even for the smallest of apps. With statically generated sites, you can forgo a back-end server and just setup a GraphQl instance. It's a one-time cost to learn, and then you easily setup your APIs and if you are using React/Vuejs, it's even easier to integrate with your API.
> for some reason

The reason is Excel.
They and their base are not operating in good faith. Trump and other high level GOP very publicly stated that doing these sorts of things to improve voting would only help Democrats and that's why they're opposed. The Us vs Them mentality that increasingly and openly permeates through politics is a cancer to the US' future.
If you've got slow HDDs, the usual solution is to RAID them together. At that point your limiter starts becoming how fast you can slurp data down the line. RAID-0 would sort of emulate what you're talking about here.
I don't disagree with you. I think the question is, how much will the Republican party be willing to compromise on (immigration [1], abortion [2], social safety nets [3] [4] [5], drug reform, income and wealth inequality, discrimination) before they're no longer Republicans in order to gain enough votes to remain relevant.

As you said, neither party is going away, but they will both have to change to accommodate an evolving electorate. As someone said upthread, both parties need to stop taking their voters for granted and go out and listen to them.

The Electoral College: A 2020 Presidential Election Timeline
There's an argument to be made that not making the call when the result was already certain, even if the margin of 0.5% hadn't been reached yet, was irresponsible in the sense that it allowed Trump more time to promote this idea that he has won, everything's fraudulent etc. (Just look at his last tweet: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/13250998450450718...)

I disagree with that argument FWIW, but I can certainly understand it. Though I think people were just impatient to hear "Biden has won" be made official, even if they already knew. I certainly was.
A lot of the draconian laws and mandatory sentences trace back to the late 1980s/early 1990s when crack cocaine hit. If you were too young to remember or not born yet, it was absolutely devastating. At least the equivalent of today's opioid crisis if not worse. Entire neighborhoods just fell apart. Politicians and voters freaked out and demanded harsh new drug laws and penalties. Lobbiest support from those who benefited helped perpetuate this, but it got started at the time with widespread public support.
Are you happier with locked-down devices that you cannot modify or even inspect that invade your privacy as long as they don't use your code?

Anyway, I certainly think the MIT license is political - I also believe in the political position of free education for all people, even if they're billionaires (or children of billionaires), and in the political position that I should be taxed to provide these services for people richer than me. I donate to charities that help people who do not repay me. And so forth.

If some billionaires want to profit off of unpaid labor, don't think you can stop it by using the GPL, which relies on the legal system and copyright laws that made them billionaires in the first place. If you sue them for infringing the GPL, you might have a great strategy to win their game, but you're still playing their game in their courts. There's a saying from a totally different context that applies here too, I think: the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. We've had the GPL for decades now and the result is there's a lot of billionaires whose fortunes were made via GPL'd software like Linux.

If you want to get rid of billionaires, or of freeloading billionaires, or of locked-down devices, or of invasions of privacy, take action against that thing. Do not fall into the trap of "Something must be done, and the GPL is something."
> > I have yet to see any good faith efforts to govern on the part of Republicans

> That sounds super partisan.

Can you provide any evidence to the contrary? I'm willing to believe that my news are partial...

Is there any indication that the GOP is going to seek consensus with the next administration?
Completely independently of who won/will win this election, I find it massively irresponsible that media outlets are calling it before actual states are. The media should report the news, not make it.
Yes, quite easily: you don’t want election results leaking and being reported early, while the polls are still open. This can spoil the results of the election. If you don’t count the votes until Election Day, that’s a lot easier to guarantee.
>The media was way too cautious in making the call here, but it's easy to understand why when the Republicans made it so difficult to count absentee ballots before election night, likely to benefit their candidate through the confusion of swinging red and then blue.

I'm curious about the efficiency of this strategy. I'd figure they'd gain more by allowing early counting, leaking the pro-democrat results and thus lowering democrat turnout on election day. After all, why bother voting when it's already in the bag and so on.

Yes, because I am the only person on the planet advocating for gql, and more broadly advocating against allowing individual developers to drop data into "buckets" or whatever point you were trying to make about how freelancing in production systems should work.

I am glad you understand now.
It's nice not to have someone so clearly and purposefully antagonizing everyone though. That is an awful trait in any president.
As Hamilton famously wrote in Federalist Paper #85:

"It's not official until it's Facebook Official."
Well except that most neural network are not deep, they have a very low number of layers but each layer can be tremendously wide.
This should have been called wide learning.
But we could imagine some learning algorithm that exploit more depth than wideness.
A more correct naming would take into account both dimensions: depth and wideness.

Note that this is hortogonal to sparsedness vs density
What really afraid me is that if such an idiot was able to become president and was finally so hard to beat. There is room for a much smarter populist.
It will be then very hard to remove him/her.

It is. The longer it drags the longer you can feed fodder to conspiracies. Calling it too quickly would have been bad as well but not as bad as not calling when the end is clear. I think calling it now seems appropriate even though I don’t think Arizona should have beeen called.
Republican Party violent? LMAO, it’s the leftists burning stuff down. Trump was doing a good job, as he is despised by both the left and establishment Republicans. Too bad he lost (or subject to fraud).
Interesting project although the drawback seems to be that the maintenance is pretty high since it uses the hardcoded memory addresses to dump the key for each Spotify version. I understand it requires from the maintainer after each update, which are frequent since Spotify has a well-developed Continuos Delivery [0], to reverse engineer the memory address and commit it to this repo.

> pressure your red representatives to stop demonizing mail-in/advance voting, and stop destroying the postal system

You can pressure them all you want on that. It won't change a thing because making it easier to vote via mail will possibly result in them being voted out by making it easier for minorities to vote.

SaaS Content Strategy: Should You Build a Funnel or Just Educate Users?
If your SaaS content strategy follows the mantra "just post something and they'll come", you're probably in the same situation as the startup in this story.
It's important to remember that "unproven" and even "disproven" are not equivalent to "unsubstantiated". Otherwise, it would be impossible to make any reasonable criticism of anybody for anything. The Russia question was a criticism that came from something. Trump's various claims come from nothing.
I think that there isn't anyone with that sort of name recognition who would want to do it.
The ideas are simply not discussed on corporate media, so most folks don't think about them.

I don't follow politics too closely, but I keep hearing Trump is the first president who started no new wars. He also supposedly brokered numerous peace deals and had 4 Nobel Peace Prize nominations.

Is there a lot of violence I'm missing that warrants calling him "violent and authoritarian"?
This happens every election. States always take days or weeks to certify their results.
And what was the thing you were building?
> There's an identically titled one for Trump from 2016.

It would probably be flagged today, too; the tolerance for mainstream political content has dropped since 2016.
Do you realize no one thinks it has legal significance?

But it is a marker that people use as shorthand. There is no getting around the fact that Biden will have 270 electoral votes.
