He violated campaign finance laws, but there was not enough evidence to support the charge of misuse of office in a treasonous manner.

You may personally be convinced of the President's wrondoing, but to try a sitting President for what is a grave offense, there are much higher standards of evidence and procedure.

The whole impeachment was an exercise in power from day one, but Democrats made a huge fuss about a similar exercise in power by Trump: appointing a Justice t the Supreme Court in an election year. Both were actions that where the actors were entirely within their rights (The lower house has the right to impeach, and the upper house has the right to try the President; similarly, a President absolutely has the right to appoint a Justice of the Supreme Court for as long as he is President.), but the President made no bones about what the whole thing was, while the Democrats tried hard to couch their act in moral and ethical terms. Judging by the way the election went (razor thin margins at almost every level with 70+ million popular votes for Trump), the public were having none of it.

This is how most critical articles of crypto end. They criticise the algorithm or system, and then don't offer much in the way of solutions.

They _do_ suggest using ECC, but in practice ECC support is super sporadic, and a lot of products charge extra for it.
> It’s crazed...

I hear you, and I know what you mean.

...but, I don’t think you can reasonably claim that now, even if, perhaps, you could previously.

I’m not trying to convince anyone; I’m just saying, for me, looking at what is happening right now, I cannot argue that the behaviour Trump is displaying is a) inappropriate for the potus, and b) scarily like what you would expect from a “fascist dictator”.

I can’t disagree with you more strongly than this: regardless of what has happened in the past, what is happening right now is NOT a continuation of the last four years of leftist media agenda.
Direct kills are probably pretty marginal, but Singapore employs insecticides in prodigious quantities. It's almost eerie how eg hawker centres have no flies and outdoor gardens are almost entirely devoid of insects (whereas if you cross the border to Malaysia, both can be found in abundance).
Obviously, or he wouldn’t have gotten 12% of their vote. In 2016, he got a statistical 0% of the black female vote (not sure about 2020), so that percent is probably a lot higher for black males (eg 24% if he got 0% of their vote again this year). I’m not sure what to make of that.

Edit: according to https://www.vox.com/2020/11/7/21551364/white-trump-voters-20...

Trump gained 4 points each for the black male and female vote, that would put him somewhere around 16, though I’m not sure what that article’s basis was. Still, those are starting from really low numbers to begin with, a lot of it could just be noise.
The division was created by all the media (social included) manipulation of reality perception. I bet that in 2016 a much higher percentage of votes were against Hillary. In 2020 the "against" was very likely higher.
Division will likely keep increasing as everybody's media feeds become more and more tailored to the individual looking at them
To stop the virus, we need to treat it as a bigger enemy than we do each other. And it may be too late now, the easy time to stop it was at the beginning, when it would have taken far less mobilization and resources. Now, no matter how hard we clamp down it will remain in pockets.

I do not believe that Biden is capable of enacting any policy that will lead to the (simple) social behaviors that can stop the disease in its tracks. He can do some policy on the edges.

But if we do stop the virus, it won't be because of Biden, it will be because of the actions of a huge number of people, across the political spectrum, and a grand unification of people. We will need to build a massive virus stopping machine, and such projects are never the result of one person, anymore than the space shuttle being attributable to a single person.

I think it's possible, but I do not think it's likely.
I've seen this explanation, but it's gaslighting. It says:

> No ballot for the 118-year-old Mr. Bradley was ever requested, received or counted.

Yet, the voter registration site clearly showed that a ballot was requested, sent to, and received from the elder Mr. Bradley. I'm skeptical that they would have detected the error had this particular case not gone viral. If they had the means to detect the error, then why didn't they do it before sending the ballot? Or, even better, remove the defunct registration in the first place?
If they're "reaching into the edges of their vocabulary" they're doing it wrong anyway. People are terrible random number generators. Don't do that. Use an actual random number generator to select a sequence of words from a list.
Growing up in a country where I was in the ethnic majority, I went through a period of right-wing political bent as a teenager. Then I came to the US, where I found myself in the minority and leaning left.
So I feel that I have some personal insight into the mindset that pushes people right. But... maybe it’s that my past right-leaning self was a teenager with half-baked ideas about the world, when I reflect on what drove me that way, I cannot point to any coherent, constructive thought, mostly feelings of entitlement and an unwillingness to put myself in the other’s shoes. And that’s what I see in the right-wing of today in the US. I guess I empathize with their fear and anger better because of my experience, but I don’t buy that their arguments are just a “different” way of looking at the world; a narrower, myopic way, maybe.
When you look at countries that are unified and act as a cohesive state such as Switzerland, Korea, Norway, or Singapore, what they have in common is culture.

Los Angeles is nothing like Wichita. Beverly Hills is nothing like Miami. Multiculturalism produces many great subjects such as art, food, music, dance, poetry and great looking kids. But with amazing advantages comes equal disadvantages. These include racial tensions, religious tensions, political tensions, and gender identity strife.

Biden will probably fail at unifying our country though I hope not. How do you unify those who appreciate civil war monuments and "Dukes of Hazard" reruns with BLM supporters and Cardi B music videos?

The only way the United states would come together would be by way of a terrible unifying threat that scares the hell out of the nation or a "Grand White Swan" payout like universal basic income.
I bet there are a similar number of pitfalls with ECC, but (depending on the specific weakness) we just have a ~50-2000 year head start with RSA because prime numbers have been studied for far longer.
this is absolutely incorrect. there is literally 0 reason to dispersing your family for economic reasons. It is always cheaper to cohabitate and long term care facilities are extremely expensive.... Especially in the US.
Your own reference proves it’s anything but fake news. That link states right off the bat that banning travel was virtually useless. He’s on record with Bob Woodward talking about how he knew the virus is serious but he wanted to avoid ‘panic’. If Trump spent a fraction of the energy he’s devoting to without any proof undermining our voting he would have been re-elected free and clear.

It's not useful to cast this in terms of standards. If your users use a non-standards compliant browser, you fix your website, not the browser.

Frankly, I think open source needs to embrace the idea of 'no commercial use' as a viable license choice.

I'm not keen on the idea of a million/billion/billion+ dollar company taking code I've written for my own enjoyment and using it to disproportionately enrich the company's shareholders or abuse its customers by denying them control over their devices.

Code that can be used in closed devices shouldn't be available for the manufacturers of closed devices to use.
I suspect you're lying because Pew research shows the vast majority of Republicans don't even know what QAnon is. More Democrats know about QAnon than Republicans (28% vs 18%).

Funny. The K&R book implements this program if I recall correctly.
Okay, I forgot that side of IE to be honest, and we have encountered some weird bugs (real bugs, Safari was out-of-spec). It just didn't dawn on me that maybe what they meant on Safari is the new IE in terms of the workarounds (which were harder because there is no conditional comments unlike in IE). I have said that Chrome is the new IE because not of the bugs but more of the very Microsoft way of apparent EEE (but otherwise they tend to try to implement specs in a more tested way).

I should have worded it in a better way, and when someone said "X is the new IE" I should view the context of it. "Chrome is the new IE" is a very valid opinion, but not in all contexts, and so is "Safari is the new IE".

Yeah... because Biden and Harris are retracting on bad policy, while, _at best_ Trump became an outgoing racist out of political convenience.

He explicitly said it doesn't suffer from identical problems, notably not having padding requirements and not having to select primes: users select random keys instead.

Anything can be badly implemented. ECC can be badly implemented. Two specific, often repeated problems are not shared by ECC
There is some truth to what you're saying. However, regarding your non-partisan voting argument, I can say - and that's what I meant in my previous comments - that non-partisan voting was pronounced during previous congressional terms. Unfortunately, the current Congress, with some notable exceptions (like the ones you mentioned as well as the CARES Act), almost always votes across party lines~. Let's see what happens in this regard after January 20th.

~) Also consider @Steltek's point (comment below): "it's hard for Senators to break ranks if bills are never brought to a vote".

The people's freedom is not restricted by Apple deciding to include or exclude certain features from their phones.

If people don't like the phones, they don't have to engage with the ecosystem at all. Many diehard anti-Apple (or anti-smartphone-in-general) people do just this today.

You also have this freedom if you don't like Apple products.

I, for example, have just purchased my last iPhone.

Trump made allegations about the last election as well, then followed up with his own investigation which found no evidence. Then he spent the last few months ginning up distrust of mail in ballots and instead of offering help to states to scale up their voting infrastructure he instead appointed DeJoy to head USPS who destroys sorting machines and slows down the mail.

Now he throws as many lawsuits as he can about the voting process with zero evidence. His suits are being thrown out because they are frivolous and lack credibility.

Doubt with regards to the voting process is being sown by a single person and we shouldn't doubt our institutions just because someone is screaming loudly with no evidence.
Sounds like that'd be Redox (Rust) if it ever gets more funding.
I would _love_ to abandon RSA, but Azure DevOps requires my SSH keys are RSA and no matter of fiddling with my public key on input seems to change that. At my home, and on our infrastructure, I only use ECDSA, but when providers _require_ RSA it's hard to stop using it.

Some of us remember the good old days when a (Democratic) president almost got impeached for lying about getting oral sex from an intern, so I'm not really convinced about your argument here.
If you want to do fun things with ffmpeg as a cli, most roads end at filter_complex[0]. You can get some truly impressive results at the cost of maintaining really intricate commands. There's also added value when onboarding a new teammate and seeing their eyes open when they find some of the commands you maintain...

Once you grok filter_complex, it becomes a lot easier to understand how people get very complex results out of ffmpeg.

Of less renown but worthy of a mention is the tee[1] muxer. It lets you take the same resulting input and pass it to different destinations. Incredibly handy, ie, for outputting DASH, HLS, and a regular ol mp4 from the same command WITHOUT having to redo the scaling or anything else that was in the filter_complex.

This is exactly the apathy that threatens democracy.

What do you suggest? Give up? You have condemned democracy itself.
That doesn't seem to track what I have seen with real societies - people will do all sorts of horrible things for petty advantages to non-advantages. Look at the sheer damage corruption does as they sell government resources for pennies on the dollar because it isn't their money.

Also even if you somehow made the worker economy (which seems to have become less likely since the end of literal cottage industries) given productivity's linkage to capital investment that would still result in resources to exploit a government. It is called a voting bloc. Coal miners don't want to give up mining coal despite the negative health effects and other mining jobs being available. The uncomfortable truth is 'a more democratic government' and 'a government that does everything you specifically want' are not compatible.
At my last company, we tested tons of combinations of class D modules with various power supplies, and the best sounding results tended to be with linear power supplies. Don't get me wrong, there's tons of tricky stuff when it comes to the subjective side of audio, so it may be at least partially placebo effect. But we pretty consistently found that off the shelf switching PSUs sounded worse subjectively, even if they measured the same on the bench.

I haven't been doing audio for a while, so I don't remember more of the details. But audio signals tend to need all their power in short bursts all at once, when a low frequency bass note hits for example, and so the transient current tends to be much more important than a stable voltage rail. A lot of switching supplies do not optimize for this. Well designed versions can both sound great, but a cheap linear supply is going to sound much better than a cheap switcher. Audio is stuck with 1960s technology for the most part anyway though.

Acting like the conclusions of the scientific community should act as the end-all-be-all of policymaking is wholly irresponsible. Just because you, and most of us on this website are capable of working remotely to feed ourselves during this pandemic does not mean that most of the population is. It’s easy for you to spout “trust science” when “trusting science” doesn’t lead to any detriment in your life, like the permanent closing of your small business or the loss of your income.
Wine is an (imperfect) emulation layer. This runs Windows apps inside a VM, thus avoiding potential compatibility issues that are common with Wine. Downside is that running a VM requires more system resources, of course.
I tried to go CLI only at one point but never quite got there.

It did, however, teach me a healthy appreciation for the benefits of pushing parts of my workflow into the terminal whenever possible. The terminal is distraction-free, highly scriptable, and your mode of interaction is always the same (type things!). Afterwards I ended up switching to Xubuntu + i3wm and never looked back. I've still got a copy of Windows 10 on a random machine and I interact with Macs occasionally, and it really seems like little of importance has been introduced to the graphical desktop paradigm since at least Windows 2000.
Taxes work beautifully as an incentive by changing people's utility gradient. "Don't smoke if you want to raise your utility!" "Don't drive a gas-burning car if you want to raise your utility!"

I suspect that taxes work less well when the whole point is to lower people's utility. "Lower your utility or we'll do it for you!"

It was not campaign finance laws that’s incorrect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Donald_Trump?wp... Charges were abuse of power and obstruction of investigation. That Democrats were itching to impeach him doesn’t change the reality that he abused his office to advance his own political interests.
Makes me think of San Francisco Bay Area politics, where progressives have become so progressive that they in one breath say that all minorities should be accepted and that the environment is precious, but in the next espouse policies and weaponize environmental legislation to prevent immigrants from entering while simultaneously destroying the environment, as though there's no internal contradiction in those actions.

It's like people don't recognize what they truly think and do, but instead imagine themselves as a reflection of some ideological group they associate with and apply that image to their ultimately selfish motivations.
> Leaders across the world are congratulating Biden and accepting the results. All of the US media is accepting the results. Even Fox News accepted the results. Most of the GOP is accepting the results.

Regardless about how you feel about this election, consensus does not determine election results, the law does, and the result of the application of the law is decided by a handful of people, none of whom you just listed.

I personally find it hard to look at the right as anything but poison.

I can disagree with you on economic ideologies, I can disagree with you on military spending, how to treat the drug epidemic, how to solve the incarceration problem, etc. However when one side literally empowers those that executed my family in WW2, it is no longer a disagreement, but a fight for my life.
1. Yes, agree, but this just depends on your opinion of what is "correct". Nature selects for survival, not correctness. I think rigid hierarchy is more advantageous for overall survival, but I am not advocating for that. I think there is something significant about the fact that humans almost always tend towards hierarchy (Lord of the Flies illustrates this).

2. I agree that large scale beauracracies are not in the best interests of humanity. I would argue for hierarchy, with less power the higher up the chain you go. E.g. Local governments should have more power than federal/national governments. But that doesn't mean there shouldn't be a national government.

ASCII-based windowed UIs were things, especially Turbo Vision and the like for DOS. The game's UI reminds me of certain old DOS programs that predate even Turbo Vision, notably COMPRESS (actually a disk defragger, not a compression program) which would put up a text-based "graphical" representation of your disk and animate the blocks being shifted around, in a format that was legible even on an IBM MDA monitor for true monochrome cyber goodness.
