IIRC there are 25 deaths attributed to the "BLM protests". That includes all of them, across the country, likely a number of events in the high hundreds or low thousands. AFAIK that number does not include any police deaths, though there were a couple attributed to right-wing extremists in the same period.

In a single medium-sized event, Wednesday's riot got 5 people killed. One of them was a policeman, and at least three of them were due to violence. So in terms of fatalities per participant-day, Wednesday's event was probably at least two orders of magnitude more violent than the "BLM protests" taken as a whole.

I think that's a significant difference, and one that exposes this sort of whataboutism as false equivalency (in addition to the other issues with whataboutism).

First native tool for compiling/bundling Vue components in a Deno runtime
"Vno" is a parser, compiler, and bundler and can be easily accessed through an integrated CLI tool that will either create an entire project from scratch, including an example file structure and components, or optimize an existing Vue project with a few simple commands.

In grad school I made a browser-based app to integrate note-taking and reference management as seamlessly as possible, having been disappointed with existing software. Basically, it's kind of wiki-like, except links open in place by default so you don't lose your place jumping between pages.

I got it working well enough to use for the entirety of my PhD but don't really use it anymore just because it's still fairly clunky in certain ways.

I have zero time to continue working on it, but I do still kind of like the idea and would be thrilled if someone else picked it up!
Why Search for Prime Numbers?
Out of curiosity, why do you feel like you're supposed to be supportive of the use of facial recognition in this case?
Those who are downvoting this, can you please explain yourself? Everything in this post is factual and exactly how engineers design products. What specific aspects of what's being said here is disputable?

I want to build a SaaS product for asynchronous communication for remote companies.

"Twitter for companies" or "Slack for microblogging".

Don't know where the journey will take me, but as a remote worker for 6 years that doesn't like these omnipresent chats, I wanted to build an alternative.

Nothing to show for right now, since I just got started.

No one swept up all of the power. It’s insane to say that just because democrats are in control. There’s an entire spectrum of opinions and differences within the party that is being set aside in order to fight for some common beliefs...like ending the war on drugs, the war on the female reproductive system, and the war on education.

There’s a baseline among progressives which, once reached, will create entirely new divisions, trust me.

Given the market cap of 800 billion for BTC at the moment, presumably it should by relatively hard to manipulate.

I'd read elsewhere that there was a tiny minority of BTC holders that own 95% of it, no idea of the authenticity of that.

As a Layman, my assumption is the more liquidity in the market, the harder it would be to manipulate and less reason to dump onto the market if a large stakeholder.
I have a ton of unfinished open source projects, but here's a recent small one I believe can take off:

https://github.com/mourner/tinyjam — a bare-bones, zero-configuration static site generator that deliberately has no features, an experiment in radical simplicity.

Essentially a tiny, elegant glue between EJS templates and Markdown with freeform structure (enabling incremental adoption) and convenient defaults, written in under 120 lines of JavaScript.

I also made a modern EJS implementation specifically for this: https://github.com/mourner/yeahjs
And planning to implement a strict, minimal subset of YAML to switch over to: https://github.com/mourner/yeahml

Will be happy to hear any feedback :)
Creating a data driven 2d vector drawing app. Essentially, a no code d3.

Nobody is suggesting arresting anyone solely based on facial recognition.
“Cancel culture” is also not new.
Indigenous societies were “canceled” by Spanish missionaries and Indian schools, gay and trans people have been “canceled” by bigots, political activists “canceled” by COINTELPRO, and communist sympathizers canceled by Joe McCarthy.

So, “cancel culture” been a matter of fact, at least in the US, for quite some time now. It’s just given a scary name when those who have been “canceled” in the past are doing the “canceling”.

This is a common theme in sci-fi. Authors tend to know enough to make something sound plausible; but it's pretty rare for their inventions to pass the sniff test. I'd say "they're not writing patents, after all" but Salvatore Pais took that away from me:

I'll tell you exactly how: trying to maintain cross platform ITK builds on tons of bespoke HPC clusters and academic workstations using the existing build tools became a nightmare.

Writing makefiles is extremely repetitive and tedious and error prone: precisely the kind of thing to automate. Not just makefiles mind you, cmake is designed to automate all sorts of build parameters.
Exactly, which is why all the capitol terrorists should be locked up for a long time.
PA’s changes were not challenged when they were first signed into law in 2019. That was the time to act if there was a good-faith concern about them. The fact that the GOP waited until it would cause problems with votes already counted / in transit, and therefore undermine faith in the election, is further evidence that that was their goal in the first place.
How do you find your weak ties?
They have hand counted in Georgia, turning up results that matched the machine count. Did that stop the machine conspiracy theory? Nope.
Should it bother us that the solution to a free speech problem in the US under your proposed legislative change can be rephrased as, "hide from the government and piggy-back on another country's better speech laws?"

This strikes me as a solution to the problem of censorship in the same way that "just buy your medical supplies from Mexico" is a solution to US healthcare costs.
Yes but the analogy does not hold, since Google is as close to a monopoly as you can get. If your technological overlord decides to "kick you out" and thus you get ostracized from society it is hyperbole to compare it to getting kicked out of an insignificant building.

>_everyone_

Businesses have incentives to reduce risks. It's not necessarily that they disagree with what they say, it's just that they made a calculated decision to not have them as consumers.

It's not because everyone decides not to have you as consumers that it is a good thing for society to let them not have you (same thing happened for gays, black people, etc. yet we decided to protect those from businesses).

Why is that a problem? This is just the first step to generate a set of possible matches, there will always be further steps to narrow it down further.
Using the T-word as you have is only going to make things worse.

You can be disgusted at what happened. But breaking out that word is an escalation.

Language like this will let a genie out of a bottle that cannot be put back in. And you probably aren't the sort of person who would like the outcome.
As someone who is about 3 years too old to be a millennial, I grew up without the internet, so I just don't, deep down, think any amount of online censorship is apocalyptic.

If you are somewhat younger, you probably can't imagine living differently, so in an odd way, you are more (small-c) conservative.
AvHerald is one of my preferred sources of information regarding airline accidents. Additionally, several trusted aviation youtubers use it as a source of news related to accidents. Simon Hradecky, the site owner, very much sticks to the facts.
Sorry, didn't mean to imply it's easy to lose weight, although I see that I did. Just meant that things to be encouraged (to reduce ones covid risk) don't necessarily need to be drugs that are proven to treat the disease.

> The experience to writing this blog entry is very similar to using a dedicated word processor

Except for the fact that a word processor does more than break lines. For example, when you type ", your word processor will convert this to a left opening quote or a right closing quote based on context. But the " in this article are still ". I guess they could have used a word processor after all.

For such low risk/reward ratio, why aren't more people talking about these OTC treatments?

Yea this guy is clearly radicalized.

Consider this: Trump called people "Very fine" in response to one of his followers committing an ISIS-style ramming attack that killed a girl at the Unite the Right rally. He was meant to denounce the attack but ended up giving his fanatics a nod and a wink.

At least one of those people were present at the Capitol siege, he made it into Pelosi's office. After the siege Trump called these people special. Again with the wink and nod instead of denouncing things outright.

Same people, years later engaging in the same terrorist activity, again supported by Trump during a time when he was meant to denounce.

The guy who was present for both incidents goes by "Baked Alaska."
Started reading a comment full of false equivalences and trying to put all projects and people working on crypto as criminals and yes, of course it is the guy with the inappropriate username.

I am not going to defend Tether, I truly wish they disappeared into a ball of fire and took every crook with them.

However, you could avoid the hyperbole. There are ~14 billion USDT minted, and BTC alone is going for a market cap of 500bi. The top 3 "serious" exchanges are all averaging $1bi+ in daily volume (and if you believe they are doing wash trading, Uniswap alone is in the same ballpark and wash trading there would be very costly). Tether is bad, but to think they are able to prop BTC (and crypto in general) to this bubble is delusional.

Also, it's interesting how you downplay the fact that the Fed printed 22% of the dollars in circulation in 2020 alone with the majority of it destined to bail out banks and surely to end up under control of Wall Street. Also interesting how you seem to be so bothered by the lack of KYC/AML of some exchanges and pull the "enabling terrorism" card, yet you see no problem in the Stimulus Bill having 10 million dollars for Pakistan. Perhaps if the crypto projects start saying that the funds are going to gender studies your worries will be eased?
The CHAZ is a good example that was well supported and well tolerated, even championed. [0]

> On June 18, a volunteer medic intervened during a sexual assault in a tent in the occupied park area; the alleged perpetrator was arrested.[133] NPR reported that day, "Nobody inside the protest zone thinks a police return would end peacefully. Small teams of armed anti-fascists are also present, self-proclaimed community defense forces who say they're ready to fight if needed but that de-escalation is preferred."

Spenser Rapone, who attempted to infiltrate the US Military, received notable support and has gone on to be a speaker at events [1][2]

This gives a better spectrum picture of what's going on [3] and this statement sums it up fairly well:

> According to Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at the California State University, if Reinoehl is implicated in the case, "it would mark the first time in recent years that an antifa supporter has been charged with homicide" as "hard-left violence has generally been less fatal and more directed towards property, racists and to a lesser extent police and journalists" which is unlike "the white supremacist and the far right, which glorifies mass violence by loners and small cells against minorities and enemies". Gary LaFree, chairman of the University of Maryland's criminology department, stated that "the case could potentially be included in the university's Global Terrorism Database as the first act of terror linked to antifa".

Left-wing radicalist groups tend to be self-organizing cells which makes them hard to track, much like the group Anonymous from back in the early days of the internet. This has precedent through history as well. [4]

The way your message and my message differ is that I'm not going to provide rhetorical cover fire for either of your groups. They're both disgusting and you both need to own them, because you all provided the foundation or lack of accountability that gave them material presence and impact.

(2)Civil liability

No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of—

(A)any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or

(B)any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).[1]

Section 230 doesn't protect you from everything. It is a band aid.

Specifically, it says that you have to show that you have tried to prevent malevolent content in good faith. You can't just let it sit there and fester on your servers and pretend that you're covered. Section 230 essentially requires moderation of content.

They knew what was going on. They let it happen anyway. They are liable. They don't want to be liable again.
You'd need significantly more time then 20 minutes to form an informed opinion on the topic of you don't already know basically everything about it.

The only thing you could do in that timespan is reading a single summary on the topic and hope that this includes all relevant information. Which is unlikely and the reason why things are often mistakenly taken out of context.

And as the original comment mentioned: they did benchmark and it showed an improvement. They just didn't stresstest it, but that's unlikely doable within 20 minutes either.

The trouble with that approach is that we don't really know the optimal vitamin D level for human health. There are clear symptoms of severe deficiency. But is 20 or 30 ng/ml really enough? Maybe we should target a level closer to 80?

The issue is further complicated by the interaction with other micronutrients such as calcium and vitamin K. Vitamin D intake has to be adjusted based on those as well. So it's tough to make a blanket recommendation for everyone.

Hipcharts.com is an app I’ve wanted to build for a longtime that allows you to create and share your favourite albums of the year.
I seriously doubt anyone is being convicted based on that alone. Look, once you suspect someone was at the riot, you can then start to look for other things like, license plates coming in and out of DC, or beacon data or phone tower records. Some of these people were shouting their names out to cameras along with the city they were from.

Facial recognition is like watching footage from a bank robbery, and then recognizing the person in it, except a computer does the initial work and a human being verified it before making any moves. I’d be worried if high def cameras were on every corner but this footage was taken at the scene of a crime, by reporters and criminals alike. So what if a private group runs it through a filter?

The short name for the emoji is "pistol".

Apple deliberately and unilaterally made the decision to represent this as a water pistol, despite this being clearly not representative of a typical pistol.

It's expected for individual entities implementing the Unicode emoji specification to exercise some amount of artistic merit, but if they're not at least in good faith attempting to represent the same type of object that the specification calls for, they are saying that they do not care about the decision that the Unicode Consortium made to allow emoji to be used to represent objects of that type, and that they should be the ones with the power to choose what can and cannot be said with emoji.
No, conservative voice that was banned has value. They incited violence in the heart of our country. The same as other companies ban progressive politicians and user on sight. (Looking at you Parler and thedonald.win) Your double morale is disgusting.
Can confirm - i've retweeted some of the recent "hang mike pence" related tweets.

The great thing, that this title doesn't clarify, is that a lot of the trending tweets (at least of recent, and what i RT) are not promoting the hanging of pence, but speaking out against it and the people who say it.

I've never liked mike pence, we have opposing perspectives - but man, i have never even thought about hanging him. But these rioters, who in theory are part of his party, were there and ready to hang him because he didn't do what they wanted, just did his job. Something I have to give him credit for.
