he would've have actually had to consolidate power in any kind of meaningful way instead of simply bumbling through the logical continuation of bush/obama policies while being undermined by the intel community/ his own generals and the the gop itself every time he tried to do anything that broke from neocon consensus. his own justices even repudiated him.
ironically, an actual fascist would've used the pandemic as his own reichstag fire, seized power & curtailed liberties to effectively contain the virus instead of simply mismanaging a dysfunctional, under supplied & under funded federal health apparatus that effectively let the states just do whatever. italy had tanks in the streets, south korea and taiwan created invasive ethically dubious surveillance programs to control movement. the actual white supremacists are mad that trump didn't do exactly that.

aside from the bizarre alternative-universe psychodrama that corporate media has been airing for the past years, trump in reality was basically just unremarkable and incompetent.
Trump basically neutered every single thing you mentioned. It's a total joke, shooting down these bills then taking credit for them.

Use your critical thinking skills.
I think there's a difference between regulations controlling externalities, or protecting the dispossessed, and protecting people from phones that don't have certain games. Do you not?
I think it started OK, just as a VM renting service where you could run games you already bought in any store. But it went sideways when they started restricting what kind of games you can run.

At least Google Stadia makes developers port games to Linux. Geforce Now isn't doing anything like that.
This statement is a valid as: phones aren’t computers.

You can’t have such an arbitrary definition.
Much greater potential to improve the lives of the lowest-paid workers; businesses often threaten to compensate via layoffs but usually don't follow through

The effects come in through other means besides layoffs. The businesses still have to make up those expenses somehow, and non-monetary compensation is a primary target. If the government is telling businesses that it must provide greater monetary compensation, then they'll compensate by offering less non-monetary. This will happen through measures like eliminating training programs that could help employees get off that bottom rung; or eliminating flexible scheduling that, say, a single mom might need to attend to her kid's needs. Essentially, there are many form.

Long term, there are more negative consequences to minimum wage than you can count through just disemployment effects, which are already keeping the very lowest rung of people unemployed.

wow its hard to argue with such things as demonstrative as "substantial daily influence" and "numerous initiatives" as well as being "present at white house deliberations"

it wouldnt suprise me if what he had for breakfast had a bigger impact.
Trump is a racist. It’s a fact: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_views_of_Donald_Trump . If you are trying to mud the waters, maybe because you don’t want to think that you voted for a racist, it still doesn’t change reality.
Heh, I once figured out where most/all the lines came into the city I was living in. Drove out there and was able to identify it: probably all the providers shared a group of fibre there. I'm sure it was a part of a ring, but fun to learn I knew where the internet came into town :)
Because they just aren’t that good? Just because someone calls themselves a software engineer, or had a degree in computer science, it doesn’t mean they can take the place of a strong, seasoned engineer. The market is so competitive it’s pretty absurd to think anyone is being passed over because it’s cheaper to hire people on visas, at least when it comes to software engineers.
Your best time to break up Apple was when Trump was President. Now it is President Biden on Jan 20th, 2021. Biden likes Apple and Trump does not.

Apple would be broken up into Mobile devices, Desktops, Software, MacOSX, and Internet services. MacOSX would have to be ported to the PC then with no owning the hardware the same with iOS.
None. Why waste your money? I eat a variety of fruit, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, along with regular exercise outside.
One of my kids took the Dog from Toronto to Calgary where I had moved. His motivation was to see Canada. He also shipped all his stuff by bus, but we had to pick it up later. I remember losing my rental car keys in the mountains and talking the agency into shipping them to Lk. Louise where I retrieved the parcel and boarded the bus back to West Louise. The driver dropped me off at the turn-off.

Sadly Greyhound dropped their Western Canada services and none of this is now possible. Saskatchewan dropped their rural bus service not long ago; so granny has to hitchhike to see the doctor.
Not GP commenter, but here's one: The "will you support a peaceful transition of power" question is designed to elicit a response which could be quoted out of context in an article inevitably headlined "Trump predicts his own election defeat; already musing about transfer of power to his Democratic challenger". For any politician to answer a question posed this way would be disaster. Trump's unique problem is that he simply refuses to answer the question rather than giving a non-answer with the appearance of substance. Whether this is by choice or because he can't pull off that common trick is perhaps debatable.

(Before downvoting/flagging, please recognize that this answer is not exclusive of other explanations such as "Trump really does have dictatorial ambitions". I take no position on such non-falsifiable claims.)

This is very similar to George W Bush's "fool me twice... I won't get fooled again" gaffe. Had he completed the quote properly he could never have escaped the clips of saying "shame on me" taken out of context (remember this is before the days of deepfakes; now it would matter much less). This was predictably spun as "Dubya is stupid!" but frankly to recognize mid-quip the minefield he was about to step in is a feat beyond the average person. Of course the difference is (again) that unlike Bush, Trump really leaves open the possibility that he really is incompetent as opposed to the 5-dimensional chess that anyone supporting him really hopes he's playing.

I demand open computing. I have it, it's cheaper than ever, like RPis are given away in cereal boxes.

I also have an iPad. I know I lose some software access (e.g. Facebook streaming games) but I also gain software, like Slay the Spire and FTL and Bastion. These games are iOS exclusive in part because iOS effectively prevents piracy, which is another way of saying that users cannot run whatever software they want.

I'm quite happy having some general-purpose computers, and also some purpose-built app-console devices. Why must every device be general purpose?
Nope. No dictionary words is a non-starter. If I tried to enforce this as policy I'd get zero compliance.
> There is no doubt in my mind that decriminalization will make these types of drugs easier to obtain.

I think you're vastly under estimating how easy they are to obtain now. You're probably only a few degrees away and know someone that knows someone already, if you don't then I bet you've got an idea on the sorts of people to ask. Once you've got contacts there's a massively redundant and decentralized supply chain that can deliver to your door quicker than amazon. This is especially true for more common (which varies by location) drugs.
The first rule of medicine is to do no harm. To harm millions of people and kill thousands to save people from a illness (even if you say that these measures help) is a very big mistake.

the whole thread doesn't have a lot of focus, but the OP posted about "The country may be divided. But those divisions are manufactured and exacerbated over the last 4 years by a made-for-TV president." So the context here is about division in the country and investigation of what is either causing that and/or causing people to feel like that.
So now we are at the point that reality is part of an agenda?

Nope. Twitter is a product. If it becomes China’s mouthpiece, you can point your browser to a different URL.
Trump said he would only accept the result of an election if he wins it, way back in 2016[0]; he has a pattern of firing anyone who doesn’t do or say exactly what he wants, especially when it comes to persecuting his perceived enemies[1]; he’s used his presidential power to commute the sentences of members of his personal circle who are tried and convicted of crimes[2]; he’s called into question, without evidence, the integrity of American elections[3], since even before he was the president[4]; he constantly attacks the credibility of the free press[5][6], more recently questioning even the reporting of Fox News[7][8]; he bypasses congressional checks on his appointments[9]; he has deployed the military against peaceful protesters and threatened to violate the Posse Comitatus Act[10]; his White House is being investigated for politicising the FDA and CDC[11]; last month he authorised a new executive order that would enable him to more easily fire government employees[12]; he refused to just say that he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses[13].

If this is not sufficient evidence that Trump is a proto-fascist authoritarian, what more would be needed, in your mind, to meet that bar? Or, perhaps putting it another way, can you explain to me how all of this stuff is cool and normal and not a clear pattern of proto-fascist authoritarianism?

I did my best here to source examples from multiple media outlets in order to try to mitigate against the paradox that your main complaint is that the media is distorting the truth. Once someone decides that, not just one source, but the entire media apparatus is lying, it’s incredibly difficult to source information in a way which is acceptable—which is why a free press is so important, and why it’s particularly dangerous that Trump and his party have been spending so much energy on undermining it.

To be fair, a lot of that harm was caused by the US reacting to the state owning the means of production
It's funny, because if you talk about gun control, most Republicans think the same thing about Democrats. The difference being they've been burned over and over by compromise and the fact once something is passed it never gets reviewed or sunset for relevance.

It cuts both ways. People disagree, and where they disagree is the most likely place for both sides to hold the other side to account for previous behavior.

It's part of why I was so disgusted about fast tracking the Supreme Court nomination after McConnell set a precedent the Presidency before.

In terms of game theory it just cemented that the other side couldn't be trusted.
Not that I disagree with your overall assertion, but without economic incentive there is really no incentive in most cases. For someone who does have economic incentive, it's really business risk reduction 101 to not pin your application to a network of invisible and hidden dependencies that you have no control over.
Your peers might be wondering why the only killings that become high profile, are those of people of color.
Because the polling majorly favored Biden and the results showed far more Trump votes than anticipated could rationally be interpreted to mean that mail-in ballots were flawed in a way that favored Trump.

I'm not claiming this is the case but providing an example of how subjective and spinnable any set of facts can be made.

Comments like these reinforce my conviction that comment threads like these are ultimately useless.

I believe that an exchange of views is possible in a way that will be illuminating to both "sides", but it just isn't possible in a forum like this.

"They literally manufactured a Russia collusion story" is an assertion presented as fact. It obviously has a very deep argument behind it that has convinced the author. But given the context of the discussion, it's impossible for the author to explain why he thinks that is true, in a way for a counterpart to verify and explore.

Similarly, those on the other side who believe the Russia collusion isn't a "manufactured story" also have very deep arguments that can't be included here.

It's the same with "orchestrating a hijacking of the Democratic primary". It's an assertion that comes across as completely ridiculous to people who don't believe it, based off of counter arguments that are also very deep having to do with the intricacies of how the primaries work.

And so then of course the conclusion is that Trump is bad but the media is worse, based off of those previous two assertions being true. And the discussion goes absolutely nowhere.

I am literally highly interested in the thinking behind why the Russia collusion story is manufactured, and how the Democratic primary is hijacked. Yes because I believe those conclusions are false, but I want to respectfully explore where in the argument I think it falls down. But to do it would take a long exchange, probably with time in between to research, that just isn't supported by forums like this.
Ultimately there’s no format that corrects all of CSVs flaws while retaining its benefits.

I'm planning to fix this with https://www.oilshell.org/ !

Eliminating the need for ad hoc parsing and splitting is one of the Four Features That Justify a New Unix Shell: http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2020/10/osh-features.html

I've designed a format called QTSV (quoted TSV) which lets you embed newlines and tabs in fields. It's built on QSN (quoted string notation), which are essentially just Rust string literals:

http://www.oilshell.org/release/latest/doc/qsn.html

QSN is fully implemented, but QTSV isn't done yet. Proposal here:

https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/TSV2-Proposal

However the latest Oil release actually does emit QTSV! The "pp" builtin (for pretty-print) will print a QTSV file of shell function names (procs) and their doc comments (like docstrings).

----

If you'd like this to be a reality, contact me and help out! Useful things to do:

- write a messy CSV to strict QTSV converter (it will need some flags for the heuristics, like Python's CSV library)
- write a QTSV library in your language

This is rapidly reversing as the javascript ecosystem has increasingly adopted typescript in the last two years. I, for one, refuse to start a new front end without it, and the only other js dev I've spoken with recently who disagreed had never actually used typescript and didn't want to "write a bunch of interfaces like java".

Widespread Weak Keys in Network Devices
I really liked the realtime “improve this password” options — you can follow a link in the article to try out the password helper. After playing with it, I believe that it gets better results on the security:memorability ratio than other available options. I think this plus something that queries password databases if made in drop-in javascript form would be a help to many sites.
> The polls were dead wrong, they predicted Joe Biden would win an overwhelming popular vote.

Major poll-based forecasts (which not only aggregate polls but incorporate modelling of non-sampling error in polls, which only report sampling error in the margin of error) were not “dead wrong” (naively looking at polls as predictions might be dead wrong, but the fact that polls don't work that way is why poll-based forecasts like 538 exist.) The low end of the 80% confidence interval (the 95% CI is what is usually used to state a “margin of error” when a CI isn't explicitly identified and would be much wider) for the 538 forecast for Biden’s vote share was ~50.9%. His actual vote share at current count is ~50.7%.

Results a hair outside the 80% CI doesn't indicate that a forecast is “dead wrong”.

EDIT: While I think 538 has made some progress in simplifying it's reporting to help deal with this, aside from deliberate misinformation (which is a substantial factor in the “criticism”), I think the main problem remains that people really, really don't grasp uncertainty even when it's shoved in their face, and are prone to criticize something for not being a precise oracle even when it's expected error range is prominently presented.

> rather than displaying it on the keyboard where you typically not looking

I use a laptop and both the screen and keyboard are in my field of vision. If the most probably key was highlighted, I believe I could consciously (or subconsciously?) take advantage of that information

> When I have them change color, it's a reminder of which keys in my fn-layer are bound to other functions

This sounds entirely plausible but I wouldn't be surprised if it's utter incompetence of government workers (most of them are old and have no idea how the internet works) and fear mongering on behalf of tech companies that if we regulate, we'll lose the tech race to boogeyman competitor country of the decade.

Regulating big tech and keeping all tech under government's thumb are not at odds, so it makes me lean towards incompetence as the more likely culprit.

I predict there will be some government intervention but it'll be clumsy and counter-productive for at least another decade or two.

Depends on what you define as "early-career". The rule is based on junior vs. senior positions. This article explains it well: https://news.efinancialcareers.com/us-en/3004591/h1b-visas-f...

In short, no $208k is not the minimum for junior positions, it just needs to be at or above the median wage for those positions.

Bundling absolutely is coercion. Apple makes some of, if not the best mobile hardware in the world. It would definitely be reasonable to purchase Apple hardware and run third-party software on it, just like on Macintosh. It would also be reasonable to run iOS on alternative hardware. Neither of those scenarios is possible today because Apple uses the compelling nature of individual aspects to force consumers to accept the entirety of their ecosystem.
Yes, but there's no inherent reason why there can't be something similar or even more powerful in GNOME and KDE. This is not an argument about "who is superior", picking camps or "who copies whom". Linux clearly has a higher ratio of power users than OS X so it'd make sense to have UX catering for them.
It's misleading because Byrd renounced his beliefs. The NAACP says: "Senator Byrd reflects the transformative power of this nation. Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country."
Oh that's terrible. You have to pay prospective immigrants the same wage as a citizen? I feel zero sympathy for you.
quick little numbers experiment:

$1M seed for 18mo for luring folks at ~50% below market at 150K fully loaded (120K salary + 30K overhead) => 4.5 people

I'm fixing this with a smooth upgrade to QTSV:

https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=25022836

Each cell is QSN, which can contain tabs and newlines:

http://www.oilshell.org/release/latest/doc/qsn.html

The nice thing about this is that you can import QTSV into ANY program that accepts TSV. A QTSV file is syntactically valid TSV.

You may have to do an extra step to dequote certain fields, but that's better than a completely new format that doesn't import at all.

Let me know if you want to help :)

Taking your question in good faith, it's because the argument isn't that "Russian interference" happened. It's that the argument is "Russian interference in favor of Trump" happened. So clearly, if Biden won, the belief isn't that Russia helped Biden, it's that Biden's victory was able to overcome whatever interference was still trying affect things in favor of Trump.
