Why can't both be true?

The "other guy" said this: Affidavits are not evidence until they're presented to a court. [emphasis mine]

There have been so many court cases tossed out (50+ if some accounts are to be believed, but that's just hearsay) , one of two things has to be happening:

1) The affidavits never made their way into court as evidence, likely because the plaintiff lawyers didn't want to put them forward as such, or

2) The affidavits were presented in court as evidence and got discounted because they're too weak as evidence

But the common thread appears to be that these "affidavits" don't stand up to any strong scrutiny, and amount to "random person alleges they saw fraud happen", which then quickly changes to "random person alleges they believe they saw fraud, but couldn't state for sure" when under penalty of perjury.
Java has had static linking support since around 2000, for embedded deployments.

C#, yes it has been mostly dynamic.

PHP, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, don't count, they are scripting languages, bundled with an interpreter.

Still, Python and Perl bundlers exist since around 2000 as well.

Compiled languages like Basic, Pascal, Modula-2, Ada, Eiffel, Modula-3, C, C++, Haskell, OCaml, SML, .... all started in days where static linking was the main option.
My original post was about The Division 2, which is a Ubisoft Game.

Also, Gambiting is right, the blocker was Ubisoft Connect (Formerly Uplay) as it uses a lot of Microsoft technology internally, it would have to be completely rewritten to support linux.

Ironically; I had raised this concern when I started working at Massive. I am a heavy linux user myself.
It's a circular argument and a false dichotomy tbh, they both have their place.

Ex: I maintain an 'old' PHP / JS application while building a new Go / TS one. With the old one, I change a file, it gets automatically ssh'd to my dev server, and my changes work instantly. I'm sure that if the PHP and JS had to be comp/transpiled, it would take a minute or so (it's just under 100K LOC, some files 13K LOC).

For the new application, I get the same fast feedback because Go does incremental compiles and create-react-app with TS also does incremental compiles with live reload (without requiring a full page reload).

For production builds, the old is pulled through tools like ioncube and uglify, the new one churns out an optimized binary and webpack-flavored .js files.

I mean if you zoom out enough there's no noticeable difference.

This was posted a couple of months ago, and I still stand by my comment I made at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24745789 . The biggest problem with Artvee is that they don’t link to the source of the image (and even claim that they themselves are licensing the image to you), which means you need to take them on their word that it’s public domain. For most scenarios that’s not good enough, and means a bunch more discovery.

Apart from that, MDMA was used in couples therapy before it was banned, because it just makes sense when you try it. For many people, they can talk about stuff they otherwise can't, they can process it, which is why it's also used in PTSD / trauma therapy. It can cure PTSD where there is no other known cure (there are already studies for that) so why not try it for couples too?

US politics has become so tribal that it's pulling new issues in. Anything that makes it into the media will accordingly have two opposing stances on it.

I think the real question is, why is US politics becoming even more extreme than it already was?
Regardless of the dismissive comments from other HN posters, I'm still shocked at how incredibly inept the US has been at containing the virus.

From the president down to the people, there's a fundamental problem in the US society in how people view this as a 'non-issue'
Jobs was also a hypocrite, like Apple is for most (every?) business decision they present as a win for the consumer (https://stratechery.com/2013/strategy-credit/).

There are good reasons to hate Flash, but that decision was an obvious strategy credit: they were going to kill Flash anyway because they wanted to prevent cross platform runtimes and toolkits on iOS, in order to fully control the platform and not be commoditized. Same reason why they banned JIT, in order to prevent Java/C# being used (it took a long time for these platforms to adapt and even today they are not widely used, maybe except for Xamarin, but even that is marginal compared to Objective-C/Swift).

As an Australian it has been extraordinary to witness the end of the American hegemony in this particular way. The pandemic was not a black swan by any means, the American response to it was.

My American model of capability and competence turned out to be horseshit. I had a view of Americans as brash, somewhat obnoxious but generally genial, certainly industrious. The incredulous, self-centered and fundamentally deluded zeitgeist that seems to define current American society was a surprise to me. I think many people were sensing the decline of American society, certainly Americans, and MAGA perversely tapped into that.

America's decline is already affecting Australians with China signalling its disapproval of Australia's current 'republican' rhetoric with the current trade war. I suspect this year was a turning point for geopolitics and it won't favor western style democracies, not as what used to be the ultimate model of those turned out to be the way it has.

The trend was already there and it has to do with the Trump administration not caring about it

2. No, it doesn't. If you look at the data many count as homeless the refugee seekers Germany for example Includes "around 375,000 asylum seekers and refugees in temporary accommodation"* it's 60% of the total homeless population.

But again, as someone said before, you are arguing about the others, while the problem has been brought up by one of yours. In Europe nobody says "that city is bad because homeless", nobody!

It's a social issue and over there society sees them as a nuisance.

That's the big difference.

3. That could be true. The largest homeless population is in NY, not surprisingly, like 10 times larger than SF, and is doing better than SF.
The problem is that it can't depend on the town administration, it must be handled at a national level or the homeless will move where there are better conditions for them or less controls.
IIRC there was a tool years ago (by Google?) that could convert flash to html5. I'm sure it was targeted at Flash advertisements.
The article deserves a good reading especially the middle part (look at the many comments in the article to understand different perspectives).

Gist of it is

People who are focused on doing good work and performing well in an effective organisation are promoted to serve the goals of personal power and authority by higher ups. They are deluded into being loyal to the organisation so that more and more work is extracted from workers below. Effectively rendered clueless.

While the enlightened ones at the bottom either just coast along to pay their bills or look for opportunities to seize power and take control while those working hard have less time for thinking about such plans because they are busy doing real work.

The central premise of the article is that this is the most effective way to manage most organisations.
Seven ICU Nurses Tell Their Stories
Futures have nothing to do with better management of a resource, it's strictly a bet traders can place. If you are in favor of financial instruments to steer demand, a simple tax would work.

Creating water futures is completely tone-deaf. All it will cause is outrage and a backlash, a lot like trying to patent human genes.

I'm assuming you haven't been to Singapore hawker centres, because they're nothing like the crappy corporate foodcourts in Australian office towers.

First, the food quality is much, much better and considerably cheaper.

Second (and I assume related to the first), the stalls are much smaller, meaning they can be properly independently run.

Third, they're regulated (after a fashion), so ma and pa stalls aren't competing with Subway.

Fourth, the majority of people here don't cook, so eating hawker food twice or three times a day isn't just normal, it's probably common.

Fifth, they're generally stand-alone buildings and smoking/drinking is permitted.

Sixth, they're usually open from 6am until 9pm (some are even 24 hours).

Seventh, they're a staple of literally every neighbourhood, not just CBD office towers.
Solved? If you mean by energy-intensive, billion dollar solutions, you are correct. Look at the UAE, Saudi Arabia; no rivers, no lakes, and the aquifers were long ago exhausted.
I think the root question is actually political. It comes down to:

What's the correct tradeoff between an individual's right to life/liberty vs. well-being of the whole/society?

People fall on different sides of that tradeoff all the time, and that question is at the core of almost all political disagreements.
I know that you've decided to take a gap year but my advice for next steps is actually to take undergraduate courses in single variable calculus, multivariable calculus, linear algebra and probability theory.

A gut feeling is absolutely an argument. It may not be a well-reasoned, evidence-supported, or persuasive argument but it absolutely 100% is an argument.
More things traded means more information and better prices. Runaway prices can function as a clear signal that there are problems in the water supply that need to be addressed. On the other hand, a stable market will be an indication that the infrastructure works, and prices will reflect that trade-off between speculators and market participants bearing risk, versus commercial users hedging to get stable future costs.

Markets are a wonderful creation and should be welcomed.
How is that an unpopular opinion though? Even the right-wingers keep hammering about fake news, which implies they care about fair, neutral and 'true' news.

The terrorist attack was an act of murder - controlled, planned, deliberate, malicious, vindictive.

Yeah, but for non-embedded deployments i.e. 99% of Java code out there?

> Still, Python and Perl bundlers exist since around 2000 as well.

I don't know the Perl one, but the Python ones definitely aren't mainstream. They're finicky and relatively hard to use and definitely not distributed with the Python distribution, which would make them ubiquitous and well supported.

> Compiled languages like Basic, Pascal, Modula-2, Ada, Eiffel, Modula-3, C, C++, Haskell, OCaml, SML, .... all started in days where static linking was the main option.

Every language in the olden days had static compilation support :-))

The only people with "goodwill and nostalgia" about Flash, are either wearing ridiculously rose tinted glasses, or have zero clue about technology.

I for one am not comfortable with Youtube and the likes of people like that controlling what is allowed to spread on the internet. I also seriously doubt any competitor will ever outdo them, due to the nature of their monopoly.

I did not vote for the people at Youtube to control anyones election. Even if what they are doing now is good, this kind of control over media and information will be used for catastrophic consquences in the future.

When the political climate swings from it's current position to another, the people in control at Youtube are going to have a very hard case to make in court at what they are doing right now.
I don't really see the relationship between futures and patent on human genes..

However, futures are NOT only for traders as you suggest.

Of course, a residential home will not use them, but when you become a big player in the field (see an Almond farm for example), then your water usage starts getting important and you can use these products.

Take a look at potato futures for example, they're used and useful. Some farmer's cooperatives don't hedge their prices and had some very bad news this year with covid and the impossibility to sell their yield.

There shouldn't be any private data to steal.

We grant these companies patents so they can be open about their tech.

If they have secret data, that really ought to be a reason to withdraw their patent.
> Also you need citations for you claim that it would have been possible to stop the spread.

There's plenty of countries who stopped the spread early on. With a concerted, worldwide, coherent effort, we could have done much better and, likely, have stopped the spread months ago.

Unfortunately, this all breaks down in the face of rogue states like the US.
I'd add that the UK history curriculum taught us about interpreting sources from the age of 11. Which also goes to show that teaching has its limits.

(I'm not sure how much this has been eroded since 2010 by the Gove reforms aimed at teaching history as chronology)
Next time you use some proprietary technology because you don't care about open source values, think about that:

"and it will block Flash content from running on January 12th, 2021."

This is a good example of the lack of respect tech companies have for their users!

After so many years, you learn suddenly that in 1 month of time you will not be able to open existing content anymore.

I would have understood if they had only EOL it and also displayed a warning of obsolescence and risk alert for someone using the plugin that will not be updated anymore.

But imagine the huge amount of content already existing that is lost forever? Even worse, if you had created some yourselves and would not be able to see it anymore.

Imagine one day Microsoft saying that they are deprecating Office documents (docx, xlsx) as now everything will be done online with office365 and so existing office installation will be remotely disabled to not be able to open documents anymore in 1 month...

I feel like the average HN poster sits in a pretty air-tight STEM bubble and doesn't realise how bad life for most people in the Bay Area who are not in STEM. To them, tech workers can leave and the industry can tank and it would be a welcome change. The tax revenue the cities have made during this "boom" have not affected them at all. Building more houses just means more traffic, more crowded hiking trails and beaches, more crowded and trashed natural parks, and for what?

Why should I name a "browser-embedded technology"? I can just point out browser vulnerabilities.

If anything, they're not that great against Flash:

You can't help me, I think no one can. For now we can still kind of run ad blockers, even though Chrome is working hard on stealthily removing them.
