> Given the large number of affidavits that their team has provided of a similar nature, it seems reasonable that the case should be allowed to be heard in a manner that takes both sides seriously.

Before presenting evidence, you have to present a legal argument for which the evidence would provide factual substantiation. The vast majority of the Trump- and Trump-allied-lawsuits have failed at that and been dismissed for that reason. The number of affidavits is immaterial if you don't have a legal argument for them to support which, if the facts were on your side, would support the remedy you are asking for.

Is “Midwest behemoth” a common term in farming? I’ve seen two top level comments use it in this thread.

You picked a terrible example, as he did restrict guns on a number of occasions during the terms. The fact that the gun control lobby gave him an "F" rating is because the fact that they want too much and are never happy with just a little.
A look around their site is rather interesting. Amazon seems to spend an enormous amount on their Employee of the Month. For a regular employee that would be bizarre, and a taxable benefit besides. And you soon notice all their phones cost like that. Here is a similarly priced phone with a fragment of the moon. Look at the size of the fragment included: https://caviar.global/caviar-iphone-11/discovery-luna/

I wonder about the wording, too. Not once do they say in the text or video that the mobo piece is that "element" they keep referring to. And it doesn't look like the kind of lines you'd see on those real first editions. It's probably as real as the monitor or keyboard above it - an image on a slice of titanium.

They don't say that it's even connected in any way to the one from the auction, either - just that there was a real one sold for a lot of money. They mention it is a "replica" of that computer often enough, and the mobo shown in the slide show is probably that replica.

I am betting that the "element" you get is a piece of that sticker shown with a replica mobo. And the piece of the sticker is probably comparable to the size of that fragment of the moon.

To follow-up on my own point, once an x86 instruction has been decoded into a micro-op, it gets stored in a micro-op cache, where the vast majority of the frontend spends it's time fetching from. Additionally, "in flight" is a function of frontend width, Reorder buffer size, additional Out of order structures sizes and throughput depends on those plus the retire width. Additionally, IPC alone is a poor metric for performance analysis because run time is a factor of IPC and clock speed. M1 has higher IPC because it runs at around 3 GHz compared to x86 CPUs running at 4 or 5 GHz. Apple optimizes for IPC, they are all different tradeoffs. Lastly, Apple's cores are probably the biggest in the industry. Compare their new generation of cores, they had to jumbo-size every structure (much larger than most x86 cores). So while it is impressive from a design point, from a micro-architecture point their cores have ballooned in size and are on 5 nm. Their architects are very good, but not godly like I see many tech sites ascribe them to be.

Experience: Designed SPARC, ARM, and x86 CPUs
Here's a recent article that describes how Moderna's vaccine had already "been designed by January 13... just two days after the genetic sequence had been made public."

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/12/moderna-covid-19-vac...

Attempts at creating vaccines for SARS-CoV-1 (previously known as just SARS) and MERS apparently made significant headway, more than what I was lead to believe by the literature I read in the Spring. What I read in the Spring was that research money and interest had dwindled not long after MERS, and that the few labs still hammering away at the problem weren't making much progress. Unless it was just sheer luck, it seems what SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 provided was a proving ground for already well developed methodologies.

If you think people are so smart, why should you care if people get banned from Youtube?

Clearly smart people will discover smart videos on any web site they are located on, and there's no reason for anyone to need Youtube to find an audience.
In those same four years where Slack’s user base tripled, Microsoft Teams claims it gained 115 million users, showing the world that product quality can’t save a startup when Big Tech wants a piece.

This is the important point: because of tech monopolies it is no longer possible to compete on software quality. This is why Congress needs to break them up.
On January 21st if Trump remains the enemy of the legitimate 3 branches of government he will be dealt with harshly and surely you can count on that.
I was always intrigued by the Starfire project mentioned here. The concept video from Sun is definitely peak 90s, but some of the things inside have finally come true 20 years later.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9OKcKisUrY
Some things I can think of:

* Read and consider whatever advice the government gives to people in witness protection.

* For the victim and her parents: don't have any sort of IoT at home with a microphone. Especially digital assitants like Amazon Echo.

* Don't conenct anything to your Wi-Fi unless essential. (Yes that means not giving the password to visits at the victim's house)

* Get YubiKeys or similar for the victim and the parents. (SMS 2FA is garbage)

* Tell the victim and the parents to never reuse passwords.

* Have a VM to use misleading social media. Post as if the victim were in a different city, etc.

* Use a VPN or Tor. (lower chances of finding the victim's location through their IP or some sort of data leak)

* Use something like the Tor Browser even if you don't use Tor.

* Don't have any cameras inside the victim's house.

* For victim and parents: don't install anything that isn't really necessary.

* Also for victim and parents: get a decent WiFi router with no known vulnerabilities and change the admin password.

* Pay in cash. (Victim only. Avoid data leaks that might record where you shop)

* Don't let others take pictures of the victim or her kids, much less share them.

* Maybe use codenames when talking about location near the place the victim lives.

* Don't use the victim's real address for anything that isn't absolutely necessary. Maybe set up a mailbox in a different city and use this addresses for most purposes. (Or the victim's parent's address)

* Install a non-https blocker and use only DNSSEC over HTTPS or TLS just in case.

* Use encrypted messaging for pretty much everything, including voice calls.

* If possible, register the car and utilities under other people's names or addresses.

* Again if possible, register utilities in another city under the victim's name.

* Use email servers that use TLS for IMAP and SMTP. (Or just use webmail if through HTTPS)

* Considering hiring a private investigator to stalk the stalker. Hopefully this will make him more cautious and maybe the PI can even catch the stalker commiting some crime.
You can't just say "It's well known" and then throw out some new conspiracy theory that I've never seen before.

You're not even to the "most people are familiar with your theory" part yet, much less the "I can act like everyone else thinks this is true, but won't admit it" part. Build up your brand a little first.

Do you have a source on that? Also what % of websites use an analytic provider not included in those 80? I don't have a source either but my personal experience says it'snegligibly small, probably below 0.1%.

> it's not like I am creating content for AMP and get an audience on AMP.

But I think it actually is. Look at this front page screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/HEjjXqm.png

Google is pushing these stories to their users on the discovery feed, so it actually is all about getting an audience from AMP. Yes, it is still being served from your own site, and while there are some limitation, you still have orders of magnitude more control over the content that you would on literally any other platform.
The only reason I would want more than 16gb RAM is for more room for virtual machines, so without that and it being cheaper than worse machines this is a hard yes, buy.

BUT the possibility of familiar OS' coming out with ARM versions (or just the x86 versions being emulated well), and the possibility of a more powerful M1-style processor with more than 16gb RAM anyway makes me want to wait.

But honestly if they roll out a better processing still with only 16gb RAM I guess I'll pull the trigger on one of the models.
This is an oversimplified statement. Extra decode width only helps if the rest of the CPU can actually process so many instructions in parallel without blocking on other resources like memory. x86 CPUs also have their own features to alleviate the limited decode width such as micro-op caches.

Case in point is the Samsung Exynos M3, which despite its 6-wide decoder is barely competitive with the 3-wide ARM Cortex-A76. The Exynos would fare very poorly against any recent 4-wide Intel or AMD CPU.

The crazy thing about the M1 is that every structure in the CPU is huge - the decoders, the ROB, the number of execution units, even the caches. And apparently all of it is implemented very efficiently.
The author theorizes that this ban will inflame tensions, but I don't believe that's true. Look at Reddit's ban on toxic subreddits. They found that banning toxic subreddits reduced the toxicity in the website as a whole, and that "post-ban, hate speech by the same users was reduced by as much as 80-90 percent." [1]

Reddit is just a closed system of communities; YouTube is one such community in the larger system of social media. I think YouTube made the right calculation that this will in fact _reduce_ tension and slow the momentum of this destabilizing movement.

> Who are these people who feel a need to participate in a community based on their text editor?

Eh, guilty as charged. Why do people participate in a community based on anything? Because they are passionate about it.

There are detailed communities for every single thing you can think of. People collect matchboxes. There are people who make detailed paintings using Microsoft Excel. Why should Emacs be an exception?

And if a survey takes into account people who are passionate about their editor, that's good. Who should it take into account, the people who aren't? That's how you get operating systems that spy upon you all the time and optimize for some silly metric.

> That religion stuff was normally meant as a joke.

Just because someone makes a joke about it does not mean there cannot be an actual community of grown-ups who treat each other with respect around it. And the Emacs community I have seen so far is very respectful and welcoming, even for things like evil-mode that unify emacs and vi editing paradigms.

I encourage everyone who uses emacs or is interested in it to check out r/emacs and associated communities.
Also timely filing (laches); many challenge procedures which were well known long before the election and were delayed for no good cause until after the election results came in.

I did a sabbatical that's coming to an end, ~10 months long.

I turned 29, so I used this time to build a tiny bit of self-sufficiency through side businesses. Still have ways to go but there's finally meaningful revenue coming in -- enough to quit terrible jobs and take sabbaticals, but not enough to quit forever yet. It's so hard.

Have you considered this? Building out multiple sources of revenue? Your story resonated with me, and our upbringings have been difficult.
It proves Jobs' adage that "this is not a company, this is a feature." He was talking about Dropbox at the time, but he might as well have been referring to Slack.

You have a good counter. To add to "don't wear masks" though - WHO, CDC, Fauci all had poor and inaccurate guidance as well. It's like none of these experts have sane defaults when they don't know about something. Kind of hard to believe, really.

Then when they're wrong - they say "oh yeah we lied, we didn't want a run on masks for health workers". Such BS. They didn't know non-surgical/non-(k)n95 masks could be useful.

It's ok to admit when you're wrong. Better than saying you lied. Especially when there's enough distrust of government.

The US administration is culpable. But so are the experts. People need to be able to trust their experts.

Separately - I find it ridiculous we have people that are all about science, except when their agenda conflicts.

We end up with exceptions for religion. Exceptions for protests. Exceptions for filming movies. Whatever. If you have enough influence or can cause enough outrage about something you can get your way.

Nobody has the balls to take hard stances. They create these illogical plans based on who is influencing them.

Is there any official who was consistent and pragmatic with their pandemic plan?
I'm currently building models around high functioning software developers/projects and what I've noticed is, churn can swing quite a bit. Take the following for example:

https://imgur.com/Yb8WvJY

Over 150 days, this developer's churn really fluctuates and that's because they work on different things, that requires different amounts of code. And if you look at the following:

https://imgur.com/oNmsMSV

you can see they still commit regularly, but as the Reviewability section shows, their changes are mainly small ones, which sort of aligns with what Sid (sytse) mentioned, which is mainly focusing on small changes.

If you look at the bigger picture:

https://imgur.com/vmiOtgU

https://imgur.com/5vf3kWj

The churn for the project microsoft/vscode fluctuates quite a bit as well.

Based on what I've learned so far, you really need a good baseline (that can vary greatly from one developer to another) to be able to determine if somebody is more/less productive.
A vast majority of the people who are too stupid to realize these questionable youtube videos are hoaxes(and therefore need to be protected from them) went to public school.

We've asked you before not to do religious flamewar on HN. If you keep doing it we're going to have to ban you.

It also looks like you've been using HN primarily for ideological battle, which is exactly what the site is not for, and which destroys what it is for (thoughtful conversation on intellectually curious topics).

We've warned you many times about this in the past. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and fix this going forward, we'd appreciate it.

I'm more altruistic than average. Regression to the mean says my kids will be less altruistic. And it would be rude to manipulate them into doing anything. I would surely do my best to instill the values I think are good, but in the end, it would be their individual choice.
No, I'm specifically worried about things that coastal California residents tend to support, beyond things like increasing cost of living. Higher taxes and firearms restrictions are probably the two highest among them.

> If you open up your computer and get out your microscope, you're not going to find the pipe.

You should be able to, though. The pipe has a (OS) memory location, which, after a bunch of redirections, is an absolute location in memory, which is a bunch of capacitors and transistors. Now, you could argue that those redirections are akin to metaphors, though.
As I understand it, the difference is that an abstraction is a sign for a computational object. A metaphor is a sign for something else, outside of the computer, and only indirectly related to the computational object it represents.
I blame the carriers of which AT&T/Verizon are major players for allowing of spoofing of numbers on their networks which allows these bad actors to flourish.
> I'm puzzled by the question. My position on wiretapping laws is beside the point.

No, it isn't. Spartan-S63 seem to be advocating [0] YouTube can moderate their platform however they like. souprock suggests [1] that same logic allows the phone company to disconnect anyone who criticizes the phone company. You say [2] that doesn't apply because that would require breaking the law. I'm observing that the law you refer to places limits on the phone company, which is what people are suggesting with respect to YouTube. Section 230 reforms might limit the ability of YouTube to do what they want with their platform, just like the laws governing telecom utilities were written in order to balance the interests of the public and the consumer against the interest of the telecom company to do what they want with their property.

> Again, this is puzzling because it doesn't seem related to the topic at hand. You asked a direct question (why is paying different?) and I gave a direct answer (because contracts).

I'm asking why you think paying or not is relevant to the issue of section 230 reform. People aren't advocating for the reform of section 230 because their contracts were violated. They're advocating for the reform of section 230 because they believe its harmful for companies like YouTube and Facebook to exert this much influence over the discourse without any liability. Payment or lack of a contract is immaterial.

The only microbenchmark I've been able to produce that shows an Intel Tiger Lake as being faster than the M1 (mini) is in atomic primitives. For some reason taking and releasing contended locks is slow on this thing. Unclear if that's only because macOS doesn't have anything that can compete with futex. But all atomics seem slow, not just mutex.

In all other respects the M1 stomps the TGL.
