Nah engines are able to turn off after ignition. Thats what the Raptor safety is. Usually the blow or moment is when it lifts off the tower with one notable exception that I know of.

Technically the Shuttle go or blow moment is when the SRBs are turned on.

But yes, otherwise in the spirit, it will either blow up or be generally sucessful.
If your best example of a "corporate" that got so big and powerful to the point of enslaving a nation is one that was financed and supported by the largest Empire at the time, we should really re-frame the debate.

Which regulations do you think would've stopped East India from becoming what it did, and what democratic institutions do you think would have effectively restricted their unchecked expansion and abuse of power?

Agreed. My note on times wasn’t to brag, but to say that I never thought I’d run that far or that fast. Before this whole ordeal, my fastest mile was in fourth grade and it was 9:12.

And my favorite part of running is waving to other runners running the opposite way. I assume it’s the same way motorcycle people feel when they wave to each other.
> I don't agree that anyone is trying to "steal an election". President Trump is being a sore loser, but I am certain he is leaving the White House peacefully come January 20th. His attempts to challenge the result in the courts have always been half-hearted. Back in 2000, each of Bush and Gore made sure they had the brightest legal minds of their respective parties on the case. Trump has not signed up the brightest legal minds of the GOP to challenge the result. I don't think he was ever really serious about it, he is just putting on a show. He can't steal an election, he doesn't even know how to pull that one off. But I think a lot of people – his supporters and detractors alike – fall too easily for Trump's shtick.

This line of reasoning doesn't jive with me, for the same reason a person trying, and failing, to commit a crime like murder is still guilty of committing a crime. If I attempt to kill you, and fail, a defense of "I was just putting on a show" isn't going to go so well for me in court. In short, his ineptitude doesn't make him any less guilty for what he's actually attempting.

Too many people - his supporters and detractors alike - give him too much credit when it comes to his abilities, and not enough credit when it comes to what he's actually capable of trying.

I'll add that, "Trump has not signed up the brightest legal minds" is an absurd justification for the opinion that this isn't a legitimate attempt to steal an election. At what point during Trump's presidency has he EVER selected the "brightest minds" for any post. This is Trump being Trump.

People pretending like this isn't happening, frankly, should be ashamed of themselves. And if it ISN'T happening, pretending like feigning an attempt to subvert American democracy to steal an election isn't a big deal, is also a shameful act in my opinion.
> “I don’t know, though,” he added. “I’ve never rolled in horse manure.”

Apparently they researched this question for a decade. Maybe they could have saved some time if the researchers smeared themselves to see what the effect is.
Singlow isn't talking about blind both-sidism, though, they're talking about skeptical reading of both (or many!) sides to zero in on the truth.
So then people who have built wealth completely on their own (self-made) and built great US companies did so because they were not marginalized? That's nonsense.
LOL, ongoing court cases!

The fact that politicians and private actors choose to beclown themselves in front of state and federal judges shouldn't prevent businesses from being able to see the plain truth that is staring them in the face. This is farcical.
>I see this argument a lot, but it fails to address the clear distinction between beliefs and actions. If people are actually violent, we have clear laws to deal with those actions.

Why outlaw threats and fighting words then? They aren't violence.

Some of us want to stop easily predictable violence before it gets to the point of actual violence.

>If the argument is that certain beliefs shouldn't be allowed because they could be construed as "inspiring violence", then I'd love to hear about how tolerant you are towards Islam's idea of jihad or countless others who believe violence is justified in circumstances that you disagree with.

It is curious that you use Islam as your example here. Various religions preach violence. The Old Testament establishes the death penalty for people who break the Sabbath. What matters is the actual practice and how likely they are to inspire violence. The QAnon conspiracies are more dangerous in this regard than thousand plus year old religions.

If anyone is interested in this with Greek Manuscripts, Peter Adamson has an interview with Oliver Primavesi, who created a critical edition of De Motu Animalium that fixed quite a few old errors and is currently working on one for the Metaphysics using some newer manuscripts that the previous edition didn't use because they were considered too 'young', about it in his 'History of Philosophy Without any Gaps'. The episode right before the interview discusses Greek manuscripts during the Byzantine Empire and how they were copied and such, and various other historical aspects of manuscript design. Two of the more interesting episodes in a podcast filled with interesting things. Episodes 317 (manuscripts) and 318 (interview with Primavesi).
I think it's a decent start to get through the chicken and egg problem (there are not enough linux players so devs don't bother and people don't switch completely to linux because there are games they like which don't work) and if proton brings enough people to linux slowly we might get through this hurdle. If let's say 30% of gamers are linux users the devs might care to do a native port even though they don't right now.
I only use linux and mostly only play natively supported games but sometimes also through proton also I think if you play using proton steam reports as a linux user.
My bias and hypocrisy - if that was your goal you have failed. All you have shown is that you have an ax to grind. I haven't talked about lockdown measures at all, only in response to you bringing them up. And at that I haven't even said anything. Like I said before, you have an ax to grind and aren't reading what I am writing.

I will wade in here. Lock down measure do restrict the spread of covid - that I won't refute - and that is scientific in nature and if you are of scientific worth you can't deny that. It's merely physics - if people don't see each other there is no ability to transmit the illness. The debate that you are referring to is whether the severity of the lockdown measures are worth the cost. Thats a political calculation. I haven't waded into that in any of my comments and don't intend now.
I willingly gave Facebook information about me, although at the time I had no idea what they were going to do with it. However, I did not willingly give FB my phone number (they asked my friends to give that to them via the contact list in their phone). I did not willing give FB personalized training data for recognizing my face; FB weaponized my friends into doing that.
I don't buy the safety/security line as the reason to disable the webRequest intercept capability is a bit silly. They still allow extensions to inject arbitrary javascript, which has all the same safety/security issues.

If you think of an ad blocker like anti-virus, you're basically hobbling any ability to do heuristics, and limiting blocking to a fixed identifier. Getting around this sort of hobbled ad blocker is pretty straightforward, just lots of random domains that change.
Have any democrats been implicated in voter fraud?

You are completely ignoring the high level of coordination that has been proven, between the Trump campaign and the Russians.

It's impossible to know what the effect was, but we know for sure they tried, which is illegal.

Can you find any example of a "voter irregularity" that has the same level of intent and coordination with an official of the Democratic party?

It only "goes both ways" when you are blatantly lying and discounting reality.

Many of the states in question are run by Republicans. Are you saying that Republicans conspired to steal the election from Trump?
It's not something most people want to admit

I think it's pretty well known and understood. Not only a successful jobs program: a training/education one too, and the prime social ladder.
I don't think that case is an example of the legislature being bypassed. That is an example of the legislature taking an unconstitutional action.

The question in the Texas lawsuit doesn't challenge the actions of the legislature, it challenges the actions of the other officials.
It’s always been a challenge in rails but I feel since rails 3 using assets with simple //= require file

Syntax is pretty easy and using a template language like mustache to organize via hogan.js works really well...

I’m sure I’m an outlier but you can even use es6 classes now making this pretty nice IMO...

But I do remember writing deployment scripts with rails 1-2.4 to combine files together and it was tricky... sprockets has its issues but works...

I’ll attempt to “not flamewar” but you are being rather sensitive about this. A decent moderation is necessary but i fail to see any reason for the watchdogs to hate on my post.

Fact is Chicago is very much underwater because unions have gripped the city’s pension to the point that they cannot pass meaningful budget resolutions.

Unions had a place at the beginning of the industrial age for worker safety and reasonable wages. With OSHA and a long list of other laws, unions are largely outdated.

Please contribute something useful and not rules that are hardly being bent otherwise you are cluttering “curious conversations.”

There's a difference between silencing dissent and silencing disinformation.
1) an online platform should be moderated (and it is moderated by humans and machine - anybody that tells you otherwise is delusional).

2) the content moderation is up to the owner of the platform. they do whatever they want as long as they operate within the laws of the country/state where they are running their business. an online platform is not a democracy. the owner decides.

3) see 2) moderation is up to the owner. You don't get to come into my house and tell me what kind of dishwasher I should have. If the owner of the platform does a bad job, he will go out of business. If its interests are not aligned with something that happen on the platform I think its reasonable to ban that activity.

side comment: in what world do we live where a freaking pandemic is politicized? This alone should make a lot of people scratch their heads and wonder what is wrong with our society.
I thought it was a good comment. I don't know why the left fears a legitimately impartial press instead of one that leaks debate questions to the Democratic candidate.
I believe this is mis-stating the extent of redis re-licensing.

http://antirez.com/news/120

> Today a page about the new Common Clause license in the Redis Labs web site was interpreted as if Redis itself switched license. This is not the case, Redis is, and will remain, BSD licensed.

> What is happening instead is that certain Redis modules, developed inside Redis Labs, are now released under the Common Clause (using Apache license as a base license). This means that basically certain enterprise add-ons…

That is from a few years ago, but I believe it's still true, and basic redis is still FreeBSD. This isn't a slight of hand where "basic redis core" is open source but not really useful by itself, I think the majority of redis installs have never been using those "enterprise add-ons".

I don't think this is necessarily a problem for the author's theory in general, which I am generally sympathetic to as accurately describing something going on in the software world right now, but I think it's misinformation about redis.
Very fast and interesting, but I couldn't figure out how to search for ingredients like lime leaf. If I search for "salmon lime leaf" in the title section, none of the top hits have lime leaf in them. If I search in the ingredients section, I get variations on limes (juice, zest, etc.) but no lime leaf. Curiously, if I just search for "lime leaf" in the title (without salmon) I get things that have lime leaf in them.

I was specifically referring to people less fortunate, usually given far less opportunities, often due to their race, religion or something similar.

Careful there comrade, the Hunter leaks never happened. If it did then you'd seen it on Twitter and Youtube, same as for the CIA 'whistleblower' and anything questionable around "the most secure election in history".
About the blog platform, I honestly thought the author was being sarcastic or joking when they out it there.

It is not even vid JSON response to begin with (it's served with text/html), and if the fetcher is configured to ignore that, you might as well configure the origin server to serve the JSON response based on the accept header.
amazon never had their money run out, they have been incredibly profitable for a long time, they just put it back into the company. Building up patents and technology is the not the same as not showing a profit on your balance sheet.

Tough. There is more at stake than FB recovering its investment into IG.

Besides... they will get to sell it, probably at a profit. They got to own it for 8 years, enjoyed the benefits of lowered competition. They will be fine. I agree that this should have been prevented in the first place, but we are where we are.

Controversially, I don't think ordinary rule of law can apply to FAANG-scale monopolies. There's no way to generalize rules, laws or industrial policies when the industry is "social media." Social media is (economically) mostly FB. Any rule, law or policy is basically regulating FB specifically.

Anyway, the danger of a hammer coming out is low. Even if prosecutors succeed, a cost-of-business fine is the most likely result. Even if they do spin out whatsapp & IG... that leaves facebook mostly intact.

I'd also note that the worst case scenario for overzealous trustbusting is basically nothing. At worst you kill FB. This isn't steel production or auto manufacturing. FB could be swallowed by a demon tomorrow and by next thursday any shortage in social media will be filled. We're not exactly short on the stuff.

FB bring in $80bn pa, but that's totally arbitrary to the cost of doing social networking. It could be done for $40bn or $8bn and I doubt the consumer would notice a difference. Again, this isn't auto manufacturing. A car company can't make as many cars with half the revenue. If one dies, we actually have less manufacturing capacity and we'll make fewer cars for a while. None of this applies to social media.

The post I replied to addressed conspiracy theories in particular. Race riots, or more specifically riots over perceived racism in criminal justice, are not so historically unusual, nor tied to conspiracies. I have made many comments on that topic too, just not in this thread.
I'm glad that the HN consensus is against government censorship.

I also really wish we collectively put more effort into solving the underlying problem of mass disinformation in the internet age. It's a real problem, and while ham-fisted censorship isn't the right solution, clearly _some_ solution is necessary.

Working on how to solve the problem without censorship is more likely to lead to a successful outcome, and is also more suited to technologist's capabilities than just yelling "censorship!" as if the disinformation problem is just going to go away on it's own. It's not.
Has anyone ever tried to top that?
This is a gross violation of the right to free speech. Youtube is no longer just a private company. They're more of a public square where masses of people from all over the world communicate ideas. Now Youtube is stating that many of those ideas are not allowed. This is a fascist action by nature. Big Tech needs to be regulated if they are going to be so blatantly political and partisan.
nope. if youtube was the only way to post/watch video online AND it would be owned by the government this argument would maybe make sense.

but youtube is not owned by the govt. vote with your wallet and make them irrelevant if you disagree with what they are doing.

IMO it really has not changed much even from the 1.x days it’s just a bit more polished with AR having where syntax now instead of only find and better solutions for organizing code that isn’t strictly model/view/controller. But if i opened a rails 6 or rails 1, it’d be pretty easy to find my way around...

Avoid too many after hooks and before filters(er actions) and the code will be easier to follow and maintain
Taibbi in this article mostly pushes the conspiracy theory that market makers are trading manipulatively and screwing retail investors on execution, when the opposite thing is mostly true: retail investors get mostly better prices from market makers, who pay for the order flow because it's safer to trade, and thus cheaper, and the savings are being chopped up between the market maker and the brokerage.

Taibbi has had years to figure this out, but seems utterly uninterested in how any of it works, despite any number of entertainingly readable Matt Levine posts that will explain it in a matter of paragraphs.

While the Electron is cool, the comparison is pretty far off.

The Electron can put 600kg into low Earth orbit.

Falcon 9 can handle 15,000 kg. Starship is expected to handle 100,000 kg.

The Falcon 1 is a good comparison to the Electron. If it had been fully developed it was expected to lift 600kg to leo by 2010 or 2011. 10 years ago, basically.
You are also using that annoying tactic of reframing the discussion into a question for which the answer suits your own opinion.

That is why you choose to ask “is there _organized_ and electoral fraud?”. What about the question of whether there was enough non-organized fraud to swing the results? Seems just as important to me.

Let’s be patient until that there is an answer to these questions. From the courts please, not from YouTube, or CNN, or FOX, or John Oliver, or Tucker Carlson.
Nice. Flashbacks to highschool chemistry. I'm assuming this isn't something you want to have happen ...
A lot of modern business/popular psychology books are rehashed ideas of older books and concepts. For example, almost every book on mental toughness is based on Stoic philosophy and being present/mindful. Almost every book on effective learning is based on deliberate practice. And so on... When you understand these fundamental concepts, you only need to read the best 1-2 books on the topic to grasp the idea so that you don't need to read the other 20 popular books that all repeat the same idea using different words. Unfortunately you have to read a lot to figure out the underlying concept of these books in order to figure out if a book you haven't read before is based on the same thing.
For me personally, the takeway is that both GTK and QT are getting old.

React (and Svelte, etc.) have completely changed the way we build apps, and typical QT & GTK apps are still being written in a retained mode approach with signals & callbacks like 20 years ago.

QML is quite interesting but it doesn't feel immediate mode enough like React & Svelte.

Flutter, JetPack Compose, Crochet, Fidget, Revery, MakePad, Svelte, etc. all those bring so many new ideas. GTK or QT feel so complicated and hard maintain in comparaison
This is the very definition of a conspiracy theory. So many courts would have to be involved that the coverup would be impossible to manage.

> You do know that the companies that make the name brand cereals...also make the store brand cereals...

It's the same with Amazon. They may not be using the "name brand" manufacturer all the time, but Amazon doesn't own factories that make Amazon brand products. They use OEM's like everyone else. They don't own farms and dairy mills for their grocery products.
