People are already free to group together, pool their money and persue a common goal and solve an issue, you vote with your wallet.

However, if you intend to use the government's monopoly on the use of violence to force other people to do something or pay for it, you'll need to move to another country which doesn't have a constitution that expressly forbids that and allows its citizens to arm themselves to protect themselves from this sort of coercion.
I know a lot of liberals who think conservatives (especially poorer conservatives) are stupidly voting against their class interests.
I think signal path degradation is thinking that can only be applied to linear amplifiers, and Class D amps are anything but linear. They literally short the power supply into the load with nanosecond timing. The transfer function through all that lossy, distorting stuff in the output path is pre-computed and equalized out by the DSP.

If I had been more clear about what I was trying to say, I wouldn't have said slow and fast. What I was trying to emphasize was that the linear power amps are optimized around a linear ideal of a transistor that never existed. By contrast, the Class D amplifier exploits the characteristics of the transistors we actually make today: high dv/dt, high di/dt, Rds(on) close to zero. There are fifty companies out there trying to outdo each other on these stats and the closer they get to infinity/zero, the better the output of these new amps becomes. There are fewer people out there any more trying to make transistors more linear in the linear region.
> Building up vertically on a x30 multiplier doesn’t mean that city can provide all the services and access resources to service the multiplier effect of said parcel of land.

You're right, all the services are more expensive per square foot of land. But, it's more efficient per person, and per square foot of property, to provide those services in a smaller area. Cities are more expensive because of simple supply and demand: a lot of people want to live there, and there's a limited amount of property.

There's been a general trend of companies being unwilling to invest in workers over the past decades. And after seeing their parents get knifed in the back by believing in the "job for life" concept that worked for their grandparents, the two-way loyalty of that system is completely absent in the current generation. It's been replaced with cynicism and mistrust.

So it's kind of a prisoner's dilemma. If you're a company and you invest heavily in junior talent, they'll probably leave for greener pastures ASAP. And if you're an employee who stands by an employer who gave you an initial leg up, you'll probably get fired after an aquisition/re-org/etc, and you'll find yourself with very narrow work experience.

FAANG companies manage this with "golden handcuff" stock vesting schedules, where you'll leave 6-7 figures on the table if you ever walk, but that's kind of the problem. It's hard for small orgs to compete for decades on pure cash compensation, and they can't be trusted to provide stability for decades.
When my amp/receiver bought the farm a decade ago, I decided to try a 50-watt/channel 12-volt class-D amp after seeing the specs. It cost under $50, and I powered it with a hefty wall-wart (120v-1.5amp to 12v) left over from the 90s. It's been on 24/7 since, never used for over 10 watts/ch. The savings went into a decent pair of near-field speakers ... the most important part of great sound.

I read your link carefully. He never actually condemns white nationalists. He agrees they should be condemned, but never actually condemns them.

There is one exception: A press release he clearly did not write condemns white supremacy.

Again, during the debates (after all the examples cited in that article), he again refused to condemn white supremacy, even when Fox’s Chris Wallace handed the opportunity as a soft ball, and even when Biden reduced it to a simple yes/no answer for him by naming a group to condemn.

All he had to say is “I condemn the Proud Boys” (or any other group he could name).

In the most visible public forum available to him, he chose not to do so, which is the same as condoning them all.
Yeah. The journalist labels Paul Tambiyah as an infectious disease professor (which he is), but also forgets to mention he is an opposition politician who will literally oppose anything for the sake of opposing.
Oh, I'm not saying it would be cheap. The larger the company, the more expensive. But if a CEO can make an extra ~$100,000 of their own money by spending a few $million of someone else's money, at the same time that they can claim it's all some sort of virtuous act, then I think that's a deal some of them will make.

It’s good to recommend that passwords be 12 characters or longer, and the password-strength meter seems good enough. I tested it with CorrectHorseBatteryStaple (from xkcd 936) and it said the password is strong. But what I didn’t like in the suggestions in the demo strength meter site is that it keeps suggesting that the user avoid dictionary words and add one more symbols or one more digits.

> Your password is pretty good. Use it only for this account. (Why?)

> To make it even better:

> Don't use dictionary words (Correct, Battery, Staple and Horse) (Why?)

> Consider using 1 or more symbols (Why?)

> Consider using 1 or more digits

This essentially goes against the advice that passwords should be complex but also easier to remember (yes, many people still don’t use password managers) and also the advice not to force users to add symbols or digits.

I tried a few other different passwords and pass phrases with digits and symbols, but I saw a subtle coercion in the suggestions that would make a lay user doubt the password-strength meter and create extremely long and complex passwords (no pass phrases, since dictionary words and even terms in Wikipedia are flagged). It encourages you to add more digits and symbols even when you’ve already used a few.

In short, the password-strength meter seems fine, but the suggestions are not great.
Trump has the edge over Biden
Given how flawed the polling for this presidency turned out to be, I don't think we should be relying on them as much for argumentation. Frankly, I am genuinely aggravated over how little was learned since 2016.
"If people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today's ideas were invented and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete standstill today"; "The solution is patenting as much as we can... a future startup with no patents of its own will be forced to pay whatever price the giants impose. That price might be high: Established companies have an interest in excluding future competitors" - Bill Gates, cited in https://youtu.be/uH4RskpUFiA?t=1069

I believe what formerly happened with Software patents is currently happening with platforms. Lawrence Lessig (if you haven't read his works, highly recommend) talks a lot about how copyright is used to restrict creativity / culture / innovation. In this talk [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH4RskpUFiA] he makes the case that:

1. Creativity and innovation always builds on the past

2. The past always tries to control the creativity that builds on it

3. Free societies enable the future by limiting the past

4. Ours is less, and less, a free society

What's fascinating is Apple has gone a step above and beyond here to use their control over a platform to control the innovations built upon it. The end-state is that no one can do to Apple what Apple did to other players (leveraging free software--Unix--and open hardware Schemas to kick off their computing platform). This pattern is one we've seen with other players, and will result in more and more people "defensively" building out platforms (what I suspect Google is doing with Android and FB with Oculus; if Apple's monopoly is allowed to stand it's only reasonable that other companies will need competing personal-computing platforms as a bargaining chip).
There were recent headlines on a study done that estimated unnecessary deaths; deaths that wouldn't have happened had we had a reasonable response. Should be easy to find.

Americans for some reason have fixated on FPTP as the cause of the two-party system and hope RCV/IRV will extract them from it.

The basis of a two-party system is actually single-member electorates. Because each seat can only have one representative and the economics of campaigning and organising make it hard for a third party to make appreciable inroads.

Australia's Parliament demonstrates the differences: the House of Representatives is composed of single-member electorates and is dominated by the two major political organisations (and this is for the good, as the government is formed in the House and a two-party system almost guarantees that a government can be formed and sustained easily after each election). The Senate, by contrast, is composed of multi-member electorates, one for each state, elected on a proportional basis. While the major parties typically have the largest share between them, the nature of a proportional multi-member electorate is that it creates more room for minor parties to obtain one or two seats.
Don’t want to be that guy but why is this trending on the front page? This is a very basic rudimentary page a particular transistor - nothing interesting like Ken Sheriff’s analysis or Ben Eater’s videos.
This assumes party identification and party goals are arbitrary.

That might be true in some cases (at least if “arbitrary” includes accidents of biography and consequent trust), but I suspect there are more supporters of both parties who actually identify with the explicit platform goals or projected values than there are people who are only against the other party.

I will go further here: the idea that there is a mass of people out there waiting to support a third party that would somehow better represent Americans is entirely without merit. How can you tell? Simple. Watch primaries. Any spoiler effect should be weak there. You can feel free to cast your ballot for whoever you like most without worrying that the candidate from the party you like the least will win without you supporting your second least.

But in spite of that freedom... we still see third party primary participation that’s multiple orders of magnitude down from primary participation focused on the big two.

I think the most straightforward explanation for this is that a vanishing fraction of Americans are ever likely to support more than two parties.

When you seek the consensus of 150M voters you're never going to get the one you really want. There was a stark difference in tone and policy and voters made their intentions very clear. People who voted for Trump meant it. Look back to 2016 when they elevated Trump above other GOP options. They could have had a generic conservative who would oppose liberalism but govern with at least a modicum of dignity and professionalism and they declined.

3-4 point polling errors are relatively normal, definitely not shocking. That's why the best forecast models still gave Trump a nonzero chance of winning even though the polls showed Biden up by 8+ points.

Polling is really hard. There are fundamental problems with it that are impossible to fully solve. It's frankly amazing that they get as close as they do.

>Slay the Spire and FTL and Bastion. These games are iOS exclusive

FTL and Bastion aren't iOS exclusive. Here are links to pages where you can find their Linux versions. Out of curiosity, where did you get the idea that they were iOS exclusive?

Edit: I hadn't previously heard of it, but googling reveals that Slay the Spire is also available on Steam. The steam page says it has a Linux version. That means that all of your examples of iOS exclusives could actually run on a Linux box, maybe even a raspi. ;)

I will counter with the claim that no major, artistically significant games of the past decade have been iOS exclusives. I might even go so far as to suggest that there are no leading iOS-only productivity apps (by leading, I mean better than what you can get elsewhere to the point where there's a major platform advantage, a status conferred to applications like Photoshop and Microsoft Office which used to be Windows-only). That's a claim that you might be able to refute, but I can't think of any at the moment.

This might be better to look at from a capitalistic / wage-slave perspective rather than a left- or right- issue.

For your argument of ‘left-loyal’ to have any real value necessitates that the employees vote. After all, we’ve long not cared at all about the social stances of prisoners and felons and have equally stripped away their rights to vote. Same thing. You need to be able to defend that the politics of a non-voting immigrant matter.
> The free market is an engine to optimize profit

Agreed.

> Regulation levels the playing field.

Only for the parties playing on that field.

> Otherwise, we would still have child labor, weekend work, dangerous working conditions, etc.

We still do, in countries that don't play on that field.

> If the US government imposed regulations that all business must act in a sustainable fashion (including the supply chain) the rest of the world would have to follow through.

And where exactly is the rest of the world buying its supplies from? Where were the things inside your home, inside your pockets, on your body made? Only the minority of wealthy people buy ethically produced goods.

Disobeying the free market creates inefficiencies in supply and demand which are always taken advantage of. You don't fight the free market, its an equation that can't be changed. You forget the black market exists in which regulations by definition have no domain. Are the goods you bought off amazon suddenly in compliance with US regulations just because you as a US citizen bought them? No, not at all, yet you and millions of americans buy these goods.

Cheaper energy always means cheaper production costs. In the end its up to the side who puts up the regulations to pay for that inefficiency. And we will most definitely be paying for it one way or another whether its through taxes, job losses, currency devaluation, quality of life, meanwhile someone somewhere will take advantage of lower costs to production and put that carbon into the atmosphere. I'm not in denial of climate change, I just don't believe policy will save us from it. Its like trying to put a fence around a forest fire.
I was not aware of this feature. It is REALLY cool...even if I’m struggling to think of a situation where I would prefer it over doing the “joins” in application code, at least for the drivers I looked at when I searched this space. If “smart” drivers already existed for making sense of schemas across platforms (including performance characteristics that Postgres would leverage) then I would drop everything and go all in on this.
I'm no fan of Trump, and I have no evidence, only opinions. But, maybe not all Black people are huge fans of the activist wing supported by many Blacks and other minorities? Seems like that could explain him getting more votes, by more actively pushing back against it.
> Why do you feel a fetus is a human life?

Because it is human, and it is alive.

It is human, in the sense that it is descended from humans and is not dog or a dandelion or a caterpillar. It has human genetic code. It is one continuous line from the merge of two human sex cells to full-grown human. There is no jump, somewhere along the way, from not human to human.

It is alive. A plant is alive, so surely so is a fetus.

> A fetus isn't viable until week 20ish.

Whether it is viable doesn't determine whether it is human or alive. A two-year-old outside the womb isn't very viable either. In fact, some 20-year-olds aren't very viable.

Viability is shaky ground upon which to base legal protection. Just think of the handicapped or those with other chronic maladies. Or any of us can become unviable temporarily through some accident or acute illness. Does our right to life disappear?

> Why do you feel an unviable collection of cells is a human

A "collection of cells" does not describe a fetus any better than an adult.

- At about 18 days, there is a heartbeat

- At about 40 days, there is brain activity

- By the end of the first trimester, it has all its organs. It just needs to grow.

Senate votes [1] are almost never perfectly partisan (52-48 in current form). They are all over the place. Romney, Fluke others have bounced on some big votes for Republicans, and frankly, we don't always see the 'break ranks votes' because they are usually foregone: Senate Whip won't take it to the floor if he knows there are a handful of stragglers so those 'broken ranks' are not as visible.

How does this happen?
Who writes the firewall rules to map these ports?
Ah, you seem to be under the misapprehension that consumer NAT devices act as BGP routers. No, in all normal configurations the “WAN” port listens on one IP only. Any traffic bound for a private/bogon range—even if it matches your internal range is discarded, not routed or forwarded.

This is trivial to prove by placing a NAT router on your internal network (“double-NAT”) and attempting to connect to devices on the second layer of NAT from a device on the first.

But even if that were true, it would be a mere technicality that doesn’t refute the point made ten or so posts ago. NAT does remain an imperfect yet semi-functional pseudo-firewall for stray inbound connections from the Internet at large.
