The dictionary definition of violence seems to include meaning the use of physical force to damage or destroy.
I mean we can say this is different here, but I'd imagine we'd feel different if it was like right wingers smashing up black owned businesses. Maybe I'm wrong though.
I suspect it is more a factor that Apple lost their ability to diversify modem suppliers, so they are planning to bring things in house. The more strategic something is and the more they have to depend on one other party to provide it, the more they try to bring it in-house.
I don't see much difference between BBC and CNN
Do you mean "common" in the sense of "normal operations", or in the sense of "we're in financial distress and need to skimp on payroll for a bit"?

That's what I don't understand here: is Wistron in distress, or is this a routine abuse of employees?
That should definitely be the first page you see. Instead, I never even found it. Thanks.

The steam explosion would have resulted if they were unable to prevent the core from melting through the floor to water below.

> Well, closer to 250k were actually sent to the site.

"According to the WHO, 240,000 recovery workers were called upon in 1986 and 1987 alone. Altogether, special certificates were issued for 600,000 people recognising them as liquidators." Perhaps you may just now be getting the sense that nuclear disasters don't just last 2 years? The clean up was long and dangerous, and you didn't get the certificate unless you were somehow exposed.

> ... No, that's ridiculous. That's at the level of an engineered disaster, where you take all the fuel and light it on fire and then let it continue to burn...

You have no clue what you are talking about. I literally gave you the source and it was from a report by the Japanese government. I'm sorry if you don't like facts that don't agree with your precious world view. Spent fuel rods remain radioactive and hot for years to decades, if they are not constantly and actively cooled, they shortly get hot enough to ignite their casings. Maybe you are just now learning that nuclear power is dangerous? Do you know how many thousands of spent fuel rods are sitting around in cooling pools onsite with reactors around the world? Better hope nobody has an OOPS.

I'm done.
> They're saying the Citizens United ruling was of the first type, not the second.
You seemed to miss that, so I was trying to clarify it.

I did not miss that. I was responding to it. Perhaps you are not understanding what I am saying.

How did they determine CU was of the first type? Did they interpret it to be of the first type, or is there an objective view of it that simply makes it so? And if the latter, where is this objective view located that all can see? And why did 4 of the 5 justices not have access to see the objective view?

In other words: deciding something is unconstitutional and interpreting something as unconstitutional are exactly the same thing. There is no such thing as unconstitutional outside of interpretation.
> Some people seem to find success in art and innovation operating in the same repressive environment, so maybe the environment is not the problem.

The environment is still a problem, it's just that these people found a way to work past it (through great privilege or uncontested personality)

I find it funny you chose Steve Jobs, a renowned narcissist in what could reasonably be called an argument warning against embracing narcissism.
But the challengers have not proven themselves to be honest/trustworthy players so far. They go on camera and claim to have seen "massive fraud" but so far have presented no compelling evidence to the courts, just rambling confused arguments that judges have thrown out...
This is very often misinterpreted to mean that you should use exiting stuff even if it doesn't fit your purpose. Obviously there need to be products that fit your purpose BUILT by someone for you to buy one. Several times I've been in a position where people around me pushed me into using something that remotely looked like it solves my problem. Since I was the one doing actual analysis and work, I knew I'd spend a lot of time digging through internals of said product to bend it for the use case. They also claim that they don't believe that there's not some existing software that exactly solves my problem and I'm creating something just for the sake of it. Let's be honest, these people are full of crap thinking about software engineering only superfluously. There's no silver bullet.
Yes, the script that generates the website was written in one evening when I was not entirely sober, and it has some weird behavior around linebreaks that I triggered by typo. Somewhere on my todo list is to add markdown parsing so I can do cutting-edge things like indented block quotes while still having the text reflowable for the RSS feed, but then I'll have to decide how to represent headings and links while still keeping to my 80x24 video terminal aesthetic.
The property being destroyed belongs to people, so you don't have any basis to claim that burning cars and stores doesn't cause "psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation".
The World HEALTH Organization? Not someone I would look to about whether destroying property is considered violence.
Don't try to live your life serially. Some people speak of being 30 is like the "rush hour of life", because that's a typical age for academics for starting a family and a career (at the same time). Don't overthink it. If you feel to want to have both in your life, do both at the same time. This especially applies for women, who have a shorter biological window of reproducability.

Also try to live "outside your comfort zone". Regularly try new things. For instance: Don't like sports? You might be right, but try different kinds of sports in order to find something which will keep you healthy for a long time. Same applies with many causalities such as food or living standards.
We've all paid dearly.
> It would go a long way towards public trust if they released this information.

No, it wouldn't. The goal posts would immediately move.
It doesn't translate very well to English. The word for "duty" has way more weight attached to it. It's things you ought to do from a sense of righteousness, not things prescribed to you by some random corporation.
There is an important distinction between malevolent intent, even malevolence, and violence. In the event that a city was destroyed without physically or psychologically hurting anyone even indirectly, which would mean material restitution, and as long as the intent clearly wasn't to threaten human harm, I don't know that it would be considered violent.

Take this scenario, for example. Would hacking a factory to damage some sensors be violent? Of course not. If you think that some cases of property damage are indeed violence, you'd have to find a reason to draw the line, and I'm not sure you can without referring to human harm.
Looks like brew install gettext works.
The GNOME Xorg session is still available if you need to use it.

It would be nice if it were possible to avoid the compatibility issues with Wayland, but the design of X (and the reliance of applications on X11-specific APIs) is what makes this not really feasible.
What a load of BS. At what point is a block of billet aluminum, CNC machines and / or STL files going to require "government oversight"?

Technically a felon could sharpen a stick and stab someone. Is the tree at fault for not serializing the fallen branch?
In case where it clearly did, especially if done so on purpose, maybe you could call it violent. Do you think smashing the wares of a company did, or breaking insured store windows qualifies?
Mostly daydreaming about how to do it
>I mean it's at least technically quite possible that someone like PG would have a very good intuitive understanding for what works and what doesn't

Fair point

>you can be either "earnest" or jovial and funny and not both strikes me as a particularly false dichotomy

I'm looking at the essay and I'm not seeing where it says this? Maybe I just forgot.

>people who are actually good at bringing people together

From the essay (in a footnote):

>It's interesting how many different ways there are not to be earnest: to be cleverly cynical, to be superficially brilliant, to be conspicuously virtuous, to be cool, to be sophisticated, to be orthodox, to be a snob, to bully, to pander, to be on the make. This pattern suggests that earnestness is not one end of a continuum, but a target one can fall short of in multiple dimensions.

The closest thing on the list to "bringing people together" in my mind would be being cool, which isn't very close IMO.

>In a world where we increasingly realise the dangers of big tech companies making decisions that impact all of us, including people completely outside of the original tech bubble, I don't think this is a very good position to take.

I don't trust the general population to make decisions either--see our current president for an example of what they can sometimes go for.
For a discussion on the intersection of Hegel and technology Zizek's recent book, Hegel in a Wired Brain is pretty good.
It's funny how a team develops their own common vocab not only for the stuff they work on (Ubiquitous Language as in DDD) but also to describe people.

When a few teammates and I interview folks, other than the usual official evaluations, the best we understand each other's feedback is through this common language. A language that got unconsciously developed while interviewing and working together for years and our experiences with other folks in the organization.

We are no YC, but what PG is referring to as earnest would be in our language simply "good energy". The opposite of it would be "looks tired" i.e. for someone showing completer lack of interest in what they do. Another ones would be "fighter" (one who doesn't gives up on hard problems) and "pacifier" (one who stays calm and composed that's good for handling production incidents and help team through with difficult people).

To further muddy the waters, I think if the job descriptions came up with more details about the personality traits required for the job, that could help people have better job matches and satisfaction. I know it becomes too subjective if you overdo it but perhaps things like StrengthsFinder can help. On the other hand there's a risk of going too further on altogether a wrong path as it happened with Myers-Briggs.
Maybe a notification of what it is doing. "We are using your computer for machine learning" or "Currently upgrading Chrome". Or some sort of documentation on what the program is supposed to do.
The title shows a huge lack of understanding of how human knowledge works. Never was "everything wrong" with contemporary theories on any field. If existing (applied) theories were 100% wrong then people wouldn't use them at all. New theories (even groundbreaking ones) usually build upon previous ones and/or become a more complete version of them, a superset. Thinking one can erase 300 years of thought on a field is veeery small minded.
Very cool. This reminds me of another HN post where someone made an E Ink frame to display the New York Times front page everyday:

Crimes in general are often considered through an epidemiological lens, and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime is under the purview of the WHO.
So I guess countries bombing (unoccupied) hospitals, infrastructure, etc. isn’t violence?
I went hogwild with this at the beginning of the RTLSDR era of SDR. I just started picking it back up after getting some better hardware and was kind of bummed at how little the quality of the voice decoding has progressed despite what appears to be a ton of energy invested.

If I recall correctly some of it is licensed and/or patented and people are just having to reverse engineer the protocols. I’d pay for a commercial demodulator to snap in.
> You can't have uplift the poor without human rights in tandem.

China. The people in China are undoubtedly economically uplifted. They have ever fewer rights though.
I thought body painting and other "artistic" displays of nudity where allowed. Am I wrong?
Wearing a mask is a great way to make yourself less approachable in public. In Japan, it's been normal for a long time to wear a facemask to signal you don't want to talk to strangers. Now that mask wearing has become normal, it will likely be more acceptable to wear masks like that in the US as well :)

>I'm willing to bet a good chunk of them felt just as safe as you.

Except, I don't care if I test postive or not. If I get sick enough i'll go to the hospital i'll deal with it the same as I would any other disease that puts me in the hosptial. Until then, i'll keep doing what i've doing wearing a mask when I need to and respectfully maintaining distance from people.
These are great questions. Another one since we are talking about editing the programming “code” of the human body is: what if we got it wrong? What sorts of “bugs” might occur in execution or through unforeseen interactions?
I've got the same device and can second it's really great. Being the first Thinkpad with an aluminium device, it really feels wealthy. It's also very lightweight but robust and has great I/O.

Considering the tablet mode under Linux, I'm not that happy. I had the X1 Yoga 1st gen with Ubuntu and now have the 4th gen with Arch Linux, and auto rotation etc. never really worked well. However, I have to say that I spent very little time to improve this and I'm pretty sure there are many low-hanging fruits.

Would definetly recommend this device :)

If you are talking core technology then I disagree. My example is Oauth. There are lots of libraries that make it easy to use Oauth, but then what you have learned is not Oauth, but some library and how to use it. Libraries can also add a layer of complexity because they are generalized. And finally, what if the service you buy and don't build needs to be modified for some use case that is particular to your application? While I agree that all of these points should be considered in the general case, core technology for your business presents a very different set of considerations.
Not sure if this solves it in all cases, but foreign key constraint checks can be deferred until the end of the transaction.

Mind blown. I never thought of that.
Postgres allows for deferring constraints, so you can do an alter command at the start to defer them, then upon commit all of the foreign keys are checked. Makes it hugely easier to load when you don’t need to do it in dependency order.
>People are flawed.

Sure. But it's not random flaws. Liberal people are flawed to believe rules are written as a liberal would interpret them. And conservatives just the opposite. Because the rules do not exist outside of subjective interpretation.

I may be the only person using the word objective in this conversation, but that doesn't mean everyone else in the conversation is not building their arguments on the existence of objectivity in regards to a judges interpretations.

>I often read opinions I don't agree with, but I can see where the justice just had a different life than me and sees things differently.

That's right. Their opinion is nothing more than their interpretation. A couple of people had the opinion that something was unconstitutional. That doesn't mean it is, just that they believe it is.

Justice is supposed to be blind. And the Supreme Court opinion that CU was unconstitutional helps corporations just as it helps pro-choice non-profits just as it helps pro-life non-profits. But at the end of the day, it was 5 people who interpreted it as unconstitutional. They did not make the discovery that it is unconstitutional.

I think the poster you're replying to is just regurgitating the common right-wing talking point that Obama was a war-monger, and that Trump did not start any new wars. (Counterpoint: Under Trump, air strikes rules of engagement got loosened, and more civilians died: https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/files/cow/imce/papers/20... ).

On the topic of foreign policy fuck-ups, another consequence of Trump is that countries about to do deals with the USA under Biden will ask, "So, will this deal be undone in when the next administration comes to power?" and will be more hesistant or they'll manage to get a better bargain because of the US's loss of reputation.

"GOOD TIMING!"

My friends and I used to get piles of old Okis at First Saturday in Dallas. We'd leave Austin at midnight and drive 3 hours to get all the pre-dawn good deals. I remember we got a hold of some mobile data terminals and tranceivers too, though we never quite got around to the mischief we dreamed of using them for. POCSAG decoding was another good time. Ah, to be young again!
>...excess light at times of the day when the Sun don't shine messes up our evolutionary psycho-biology, causing issues with sleep.

That is folk wisdom in the IT field. At best, it is blue light, but there aren't enough long term studies to conclusively say this. BMJ Open Ophthalmology published a study in 2018 that said blue light could be a factor in eye tiredness, but it also stated dry eyes due to lack of blinking for long periods a more serious cause of eye strain. It also noted very small fonts, low contrast, and medical conditions like uncorrected astigmatism and presbyopia as factors.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6020759/

Human eyes don't have good night vision, we see best in daylight.

Black text on a white background is best, since the color properties and light are best suited for the human eye. That’s because white reflects every wavelength in the color spectrum. Because of the reflection, our irises don’t need to open as wide to absorb the white light. That leaves our irises in a neutral position and allows us to see with better clarity. This is especially true when white light is contrasted against black, which absorbs wavelengths instead of reflecting them.

Light text on a dark background makes the eye work harder and open wider, since it needs to absorb more light. When this happens, the light letters can bleed into the dark background and cause halation, which makes the text blurry. Our eyes focus better when the iris is narrow.

Additionally, most people are born with some form of astigmatism, a misshaped cornea that blurs vision. For people that have the worst forms of astigmatism, light text on dark backgrounds aggravates the condition. When looking at a light display, the iris closes more, decreasing the effect of the deformed cornea. When using a dark display the iris opens to receive more light and the deformation of the cornea makes halation worse.

On the flip side, dark mode helps with floaters, tiny fibers or spots that appear in a person's vision. These are caused by changes to the fluid in the eye which cause shadows to be cast on the retina. Floaters distort vision in light mode. This condition tends to increase with age.

Also, people with light sensitivity might be better served by a dark background.

Both light and dark mode should be offered for accessibility reasons.
> enriching people is fairly effective at eliminating human rights abuses

By what mechanism does it do that? Everyone who is motivated to make profits has incentive to pay the least possible on payroll and taxation. Human rights empower people to demand higher wages, and any government-sourced provision of quality of life increase taxation. People who's talents align with in-demand skills may have some leverage to increase their wealth and provide a better life for themselves, but without government intervention, that means little for everyone else.

Edit: Do agree about unionization - but once again, the right to start or join a union is something that must be enforced by government policy, and voters need to care about human rights for that to occur.

>The supreme court doesn't make a law unconstitutional. It already was or wasn't.

No. If the Supreme Court is asked whether a law is constitutional or not, they form an opinion on whether it is or is not. The law exists as law up until the moment the Supreme Court is asked and interprets it one way or the other. It does not exist as one or the other until that moment, even though it is the law, and after that moment it only exists as one or the other based upon the majority opinion of 9 people. Laws are not discovered to be constitutional or unconstitutional, because interpretations are not discovered, they are formed.

>A law can be so blatantly and obviously unconstitutional that everyone can see it and refuses to arrest or charge people for breaking it.

That doesn't make the law unconstitutional. It just makes it a bad law. Bad laws can also be constitutional.
My main point is that the spin is so strong that if they had instead written "workers who believe they are being taken advantage of riot and destroy factory" it would be a heck of a lot less inflammatory (and is more accurate) than "the workers were violent".

Maybe I'm being overly legalistic, but I think if no one is in the hospital and no one's life was put under direct threat the crime was not violent. I am definitely not saying there shouldn't be a civil suit involved, or that it is okay. If said right wingers were rioting over unpaid wages and abuse over many months and years well, I would likely have a different opinion right? These are people acting in a way that causes financial injury in protest over financial injury, not out of racial bias or desire to cause physical harm.

It is not about violence to me at all; calling breaking a machine violence really dilutes the meaning and clearly is intended to make the reader think the the people doing this are hurting people.
You'd be wrong if you think that. We're all using Uniden SD200
