“In that briefing there was a slide that talked about the Proud Boys,” Cannon said.

The slide was intended to characterize the potential for violence from individual members of the Proud Boys, according to Cannon, and not to address the group as a whole.

“There have been instances where self-identified Proud Boys have been violent,” he said. “We do not intend and we do not designate groups, especially broad national groups, as extremists.”

generally speaking i tend to assume that feds have and always have keep a close watch on pretty much any sizeable right-leaning organization, most especially ones that are frequently involved in street violence with other organizations. maybe this is the legacy of ruby ridge and timothy mcveigh, maybe it just looks good on a quarterly review.
but even aside from that you can find plenty of accounts over the years from BLM and occupy activists about being surveilled. how many of these are credible? it is hard to say. we do know that there has been a large injection of funds for the purpose of increased surveillance following months of blm related riots

Short answer: Lisp! - I mean, been using "Sublime Text" some years ago, and "Sublime Text" is scriptable / extendable in Python, and although I am fairly familiar with Python, it never occured to me to extend "Sublime Text". - I can open a scratch buffer in Emacs, hack away commands, put them together in a Lisp function, put it in my `init.el` file , bind it to a shortcut very easily and keep extending my Emacs setup.

This wasn't easy in any editor I used. And none of these editors were meant to be used like that, because their main purpose was / is to edit files, not control Spotify with it, write emails, read rss feeds, and whatnot.

Yes, VS Code goes in that direction, but I don't know many laymans who extend VS Code. They are rather devs with a focus on JS.

This unsupported argument that it had no problems is nonsense. You want to introduce a system that disenfranchises people? Then explain why it’s needed. That’s on you.

And yes, voters in areas with ID laws are disenfranchised. Voter ID laws can routinely be observed to disproportionately affect people who are otherwise legitimately able to vote. You may, in some clear and well-scoped circumstances, be able to make an argument in support of them when they solve some problem. NI might even be an example of that. Since electoral fraud does not appear to be a problem in the rest of the UK, it does not seem possible to avoid a net negative impact.

Here is information on their Ion cleaning system, which interestingly is ozone free (unlike many typical home ionizing air filters). If just ion generation is enough to reduce viral load so effectively, then that is a big boost to reducing indoor transmission rates (effectively reducing R0), and would be comparatively cost effective next to HEPA filtering large spaces (think: a Costco warehouse).

ION TECHNOLOGY

MORE IONS, MORE DISINFECTION

Clean Air System’s certified ozone-free ionizers generate tens of thousands of ions per second, safely eliminating airborne and surface pathogens and resulting in fresher, cleaner conditions. The ionizers’ precise integration allows for maximum ion production and delivery throughout your space.

DISTRIBUTED BY AIRFLOW

Our fans’ airflow amplifies not only the number of ions that are generated but also their effective coverage areas. Aside from disinfecting air and surfaces, our fans’ airflow improves occupant comfort, HVAC efficiency, and energy savings, providing real benefits for business owners.

KILL VIRUSES WHERE PEOPLE BREATHE

An ion’s lifetime is only about 30 seconds, so it’s essential that ions be delivered to the air your people breathe and the surfaces that they touch. Rather than concealing ionizers within ductwork, Big Ass Fans integrates ionizers into our fans to distribute ions directly to your people.
That's a fair point. Thanks for the feedback!

This article is a long-winded philosophical musing that misses the core point:

You can only not care about politics if you are incredibly priviliged. Period.

If one of the main parties running wants to prevent you from marrying the person you love, you can't just be apolitical. If one of the parties running wants to allow police to disproportionally harass, arrest, and kill people who look like you, you can't just be apolitical. If you're poor, struggling to pay your bills, and one of the parties wants to add new hoops to jump through to claim any welfare or healthcare, you can't just be apolitical.

If you have any empathy and care about any people in those positions, you can't just be apolitical.

The only way to truly "not care" about politics is both to be very privileged and very selfish.
It’s not ok, to not care about politics.

Everything that happens in the public space is political. As citizen of most countries, you have political rights and options. It’s ok to not care whichever label match to you, but you should care about actual policies, about changing values and who best represents you.
I’m not sure if they were anomalies. Trump advocated not to use mail in ballots, Biden encouraged everyone to stay safe and use ballots. So it’s likely that ballots would overwhelmingly have support for Biden.

At this point, all we can do is speculate. Unless someone produces hard evidence that holds in court, there isn’t much substance to going down the rabbit hole of speculation.

I've always felt the concept of leadership is looked at the wrong way. Whether in the workplace or even in politics.

Leaders are not at the top, they are the foundation of everything. A good leader is the base of the team. The foundation the team is built on. They hold the team together from the bottom. Bearing the weight of responsibility and direction.

A good leader understands, their team's success is their success and their team's failure is their failure.

Anything can only be as strong as the foundation that holds it together. A leader who tries to stand at the top leaves no foundation for the team to work off and instead expects the team to bear their weight.

A leadership role is something that should be taken on with trepidation and the understanding that you're taking on responsibility for the people working with you.

It's up to you to guide things and yes it's you that takes the blame if things don't work.

> You were suggesting not conducting an audit so they could not be prosecuted if we don't know who they are.

I think there may have been a misunderstanding here. Up the thread I was explaining why systematic auditing isn’t done at the time of the election when the margin is large.

Audits are done systematically in the time between elections, to run down irregularities like the ones linked above, and to ready the registered voter rolls for the next election. Audits are also done during recounts, which happen if the margin is small enough that fraud could have tipped the election result.

During the election itself reliance is on validation. Ballots are mailed out only to registered voters, USPS mail-tracking tracks each ballot to ensure that it was delivered to the voter’s registered address, returned ballots have their signatures checked, and duplicate votes are detected.

There are definitely many other ways to defraud the election other than committing voter fraud. Hacking voting machines or the tabulating process itself is a concerning possibility. But this election I haven’t seen any accusations that this occurred, only accusations of illegitimate ballot submissions.
I use Premiere for just occasional hobby purposes, really mostly just appending clips to each other which, yeah, Premiere is overpowered for but I happen to own it anyway. The point is, it is so prone to crashing even in such a simple use case. I have lost work multiple times to Premiere just collapsing because I clicked the timeline in the wrong way or something, so I've turned the autosave frequency way up which makes it unresponsive.

I guess I should try learning Resolve.

Website is down - anyone have a mirror?

My hot take just based on the title: politics has a return on investment like anything else. And engaging in politics, especially to the degree the general public has in the last several years, can be unhealthy in many ways. It can hurt your mental health, damage relationships, create emotionally charged echo chambers, etc. And being a political junkie can be problematic for society in other ways, like driving partisanship and viewing everything through extremist lenses (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/20/opinion/polarization-poli...).

So the positives of being politically engaged have to be weighed against the negatives and also against the time input it requires. For those whose lives aren’t drastically affected by election churn (which is a lot more people than you might think), I understand why they may choose to be disengaged or not vote.

I feel one should take a moment to think about why we've been so political for the last 200 years and why it started during democratic revolutions. Before then the vast majority of people had little power and thus no need for politics. Those with power (lords, kings, court members, etc.) were very political all the time. The rest did what the king and lord said or died. Ones opinions and thoughts and desires didn't directly matter. Then democracy came about and your opinions and thoughts matter. You can influence policy without risk of death, you can change the forces that drive a decent chunk of your existence. Political decisions impact your life and the lives of those around you so it is logical to try to shift them to your benefit if possible. It's simply that in the past that wasn't possible or risked your death.

I'll take being political over being a slave any day of the week.

edit: Also, in the past I'm sure people were political but locally within the scope they were allowed to influence. They couldn't tell the king what to do but maybe they could get their local parish priest to help them instead of the neighbor they hate. It's just like how HOAs are political nowadays.

That's a good point. Less feeling that your vote was wasted. Of course the first past the post system does mean in many ridings it still effectively can be, but I still agree with your point. The lack of divided government also largely removes the blame game. Government governs, and the people either like it and keep voting for them, or vote for change (and get it). That's actually the one thing that gives me pause about a proprtional representation system (despite having voted for in in two BC referenda now). Would regular minority governments bring in more of that uncertainty? Maybe. But it would further improve the situation you described, which seems worth trying to me. (From my perspective it would be reasonable to agree to hold two elections under a PR system, then automatically have another referendum on whether to switch back.)
Of course not. If you modified your device, and if that broke it, you've voided your warranty, doesn't it already work this way?
It seems like you have an opinion about whether or not Ken Jennings should get past it. Why else would you post something that is sure to spark a conversation about "cancel culture".

Hot take: it’s ok to not want to be an activist and to engage in politics primarily by voting. People should vote.

The counter-meme is something I’ve seen a lot lately in both left and right wing circles. This idea being that if you’re not an activist, you’re the enemy. It is bullshit, and depressing to see on HN.

Does the person dying of cancer have time to care about politics? What about the person with crippling chronic disease?

What about the person who is just trying to make ends meet and comes home every day exhausted?

What about the person taking care of a relative, or recovering from an opioid addiction?

Being an activist is a luxury for people with a surfeit of money and free time.

Edit: the rapid downvoting of this post is actually a great example of how badly this idea has infested the meme-space. HN consists primarily of unbelievably privileged people, to whom the idea that someone might not want or be able to tie huge aspects of their identity to their politics seems to be unacceptable or at least controversial.

> 'pretend X doesn't exist' is in my mind 'speculate that X isn't enabled'. It really means the same thing doesn't it?

Not when you're talking about needing "dynamic analysis", which is what made me not understand the way you were using that word.

> It does make compilation more complicated because you need to be able to restore the full debug state of the application, which means storing some results you may not choose to do otherwise, and storing extra meta-data.

You don't need to, in the general case.

> Debuggers can be a formally or informally specified part of the language, and their behaviour may have to follow rules about which intermediate results are visible which may constrain your compilation.

> My argument is: if you do treat debugging as speculation then your model is simpler and easier to work with and you don't need two kinds of deoptimisation. Real languages are implemented this way.

I suppose, but that's only one option. You could make the deoptimization for debugging much weaker or nonexistent, and that would be a valid option too, without having to give up simplicity.

And separately, wanting to change the value of a const while debugging is a valid use case too. But once you support that, there's no reason a never-written let needs to be optimized differently from a const.
Autotools vs cmake is just no contest from a developer’s perspective. I set up one project with autotools a few years back and the experience was horrible: lots of weird incantations, obfuscated syntax, piles of m4 macros to do what feel like straightforward things, and just a general feeling that I was being forced to learn obtuse technologies for basically no purpose.

Cmake isn’t always the easiest thing either but it’s a vast improvement over autotools.
