Alan Dershowitz: “The case cannot come to trial in the Senate. Because the Senate has rules and the rules would not allow the case to come to trial until, according to the majority leader, until 1 PM on January 20th an hour after President Trump leaves office. And the Constitution specifically says, “The President shall be removed from office upon impeachment.” It doesn’t say the former president. Congress has no power to impeach or try a private citizen, whether it be a private citizen named Donald Trump or named Barack Obama or anyone else.”
Industry seems to think otherwise.

That still isn't a match for something like INTEGRITY OS, vxWorks, QNX when human lives are at risk.

Or why despite using an heavily modified Linux kernel as basis for Azure Sphere, Microsoft rather advocates Azure RTOS for real time tasks.

Or why the Linux Foundation, ironically pushes Zephyr for such purposes, completely unrelated to Linux source code.

Thank you, I will.
Fair point. But it has evolutionary disadvantages, too. If food scarcity has been a challenge across evolutionary scales (which seems reasonable), then the utility function might prioritize scarce resources for the reproductively fit.

My point is that it's challenging to make a watertight argument that "we should do X, because evolution suggests that we should."
"Private.SH does not know what you searched for."

but

"your query is encrypted on the client side"

and then

"the client side decrypts and displays the results"

So all this encryption/decryption code, where does it come from?

If the answer is Private.SH, then Private.SH can in fact know what the user searched for and the results they got by feeding the user code that sends that information (or even just the encryption keys) back to Private.SH

Also, I'm not clear on how the search engines are supposed to be able to decrypt something encrypted by the client. What actually happens there?
Yes, moderation. The ideal isn't a system that is un-moderate-able (for the reasons listed, among others), its a system where individuals can choose their moderators based on the differing goals and preferences of the online communities (but within some reasonable bounds/process for limiting rights-violating content like child porn, criminal incitement, etc)
DigitalOcean’s Position on Parler
What is "violent" in 2021? If everyone collectively stopped paying their bills and crashed the economy, is that violent? I would suggest that when (sorry, all things end) America collapses...not a shot will be fired.

Likewise, if I were to advise a foreign adversay on the best way to "fight" the US, I would suggest currency manipulation or information manipulation. Why fire a gun? Someone might get killed!

That's a video of a capital police officer being beaten by the mob. If you have anything remotely similar to show the world from the women's match (that would trigger the Equal Protection Clause), go ahead and show it.

Falsely flagged and no response, that's what I thought. Take your bad faith nonsense elsewhere.
For the basic sequence types (list, tuple, and range), len is definitely not expensive to compute. For custom types, it will depend on your implementation of __len__ (but then, computation of bool(...) will also depend on your implementation of __bool__).
Reawakening Long Lost Habit (Or Forming a New One)
> I use a metal spatula to scrape anything off (after boiling some water in it to loosen it up), or a lodge plastic scraper, and scrub it lightly with a sponge and a bit of dish soap. Don’t put it away wet. It’s simple.

This is pretty much what I do, except I use a nylon brush instead of the scraper – same deal. I think the boiling water and brush are perfect because they leave just the right amount of oil still on the pan.
I find these how-tos boggling. It's not that difficult to season cast iron cookware. Just cook on it. Same thing with soldering - there are countless videos of people teaching others on how to solder. If you can wear clothes that morning, you can solder.

Also, what if I told you its ok to use soap on cast iron pans? The hardened coating isn't prone to soap interaction. It removes all the grime and gives you a clean non-stick surface if you use soap.

I blame all this on hipster culture which is based on nothing but making things more complicated than it should be, getting viewership and generally misleading people into thinking something is more difficult that it really is. In turn, making people spend more money on useless shit that they don't need.
works fine here Europe/Romania
Reddit seems to be having issues, first link is spitting our server errors right now.

My purpose wasn't to cherry pick, it was to understand what your line is re free/legal speech.

The fact the second one isn't a direct call to action but just an implication, and therefore you think it's fine, is useful information. It tells me that your bar and mine are definitely not the same.

I'll bet you also don't think Trump encouraged the rioting the other day because he didn't explicitly say "hey everyone, riot now!"

Which is of course what makes Trump so effective. Decades of litigation have taught him the artform if plausible deniability. Never say what you want. Imply it and let folks put two and two together

Of course, in the case if Parler, there's no shortage of folks who lack similar instincts and therefore say the quiet part loud...

> I can easily cherry pick comments from Twitter, Facebook, etc that have the same or stronger lang around incitement to violence

The difference is the CEO of Parler has ruled out moderating that kind of content, including the examples I've cited here, whereas every other site removes it.

So the situation simply isn't comparable.

> This level of aggressive enforcement does not seem to be present if the target of the incitement is unpopular

Okay, so where are your examples? I'd be happy to provide my opinion if you'd like.
The US's inability to win in Afghanistan and Vietnam are two examples. Also you just watched tens of thousands of people gather on the Capitol and take it over without any weapons. Imagine if millions of people had arrived and they were armed. How do you imagine a militia of millions armed with weapons would fare against an army that, with all of its advanced weaponry, took years to clamp down on ISIS and still hasn't fully succeeded?
But if architected for openness without central censorship chokepoints, such affinity declarations can’t alone prevent participation. Mastodon’s tech is used by Gab, for example.

At best this can:

* influence the observable qualities of the closely-collaborating dev community – who’ll have to outwardly project these values.

* lead to the prioritization of decentralized user-driven moderation features, which still allow the disfavored groups to communicate with other willing audiences, with minimized impact on unwilling audiences.
> Your hand waving is not very convincing. I mean Antifa setup it’s own autonomous zone in Seattle, effectively overthrowing the gov’ts authority (albeit on a small and temporary scale). People were killed there. Is this that not sedition or at least a direct attempt to usurp the gov’ts authority?

Were people actually concerned that this movement was going to blow out into a full-on anarchist revolt? Was this based on an idea of an all-out violent revolution? This is the only example where they may be a slight point and even so I'm not seeing an explicit call to join into this being amplified.

> “Protestors” took over a Seattle City Hall and demanded the mayor resign. Is that not disrupting the legitimate legislative process? Isn’t that attempting to force a legitimately elected official out of office?

Were they coming in with guns? Did they organize multiple days in advance with the idea of kidnapping legislators? This sounds like infrequent but very much run-on-the-mill instance of protesting.

> The point is the left said nothing about about all this violence and rioting and in some cases encouraged it. Said “it was legitimate anger” and therefore authorities shouldn’t try and stop it.

This is not true, and I'm the sort of person that consumes news from people who are not in favor of the current system. The critique was the violent overreaction of police forces and the fact that while they're getting rubber bullets in the head, actually seditious traitors that stormed the Capitol get coddled and kindly asked to leave.

_That_ is the double standard. The US has a history of allowing violence by white majorities, visible and obvious in the favorable treatment by police forces and legislators, while disproportionally repressing other forces. The deescalation is reserved for seditionists and white supremacists.
I don't really see how this is a reason not to carefully consider the type of an object when using truthiness.

Conservatives are getting the teeniest taste of being the wrong color in the only grocery store in town that are mysteriously always out of everything, or trying to buy a wedding cake while gay.

Except they're not.

I would love the perfection of that, but all they're getting is the same treatment on-line as if they did the same screaming at the other customers and urinating in the isles in a grocery store.

They are stinking up the place, not merely by existing, but specifically through their deeds, and so it is not merely allowed, but an obligation, to deal with them.
Let's pare it back a bit:
There's large per-country variation in the data, and many of the more restrictive measures show significant positive effect in some countries. There is no attempt to control for how successful particular countries were in implementing the policies (which one might code describe as 'non-linear effects,' per the caveats section of the paper).

The US does particularly badly with the more restrictive measures, and has a large segment of the population that denies covid is real and/or anything to worry about. Connecting those dots isn't THAT much of a leap, in the context of an internet forum...
Well, that could happen to you on Wikipedia as well (WP:Notability)
Yes, journalists are one of the the most important people that should get this memo. I've been telling them this at any opportunity for years now. Funnily, Trump getting banned hurts my case.
> Money printers are going brrrr all over the world. Bitcoin, gold and equities are all good inflation-hedges.

Inflation has been predicted since (at least) 2010:

> We believe the Federal Reserve's large-scale asset purchase plan (so-called "quantitative easing") should be reconsidered and discontinued. We do not believe such a plan is necessary or advisable under current circumstances. The planned asset purchases risk currency debasement and inflation, and we do not think they will achieve the Fed's objective of promoting employment.

Looking at their commenting history, they have a habit of italicising really often, so it's not specific to this topic. It does indeed make a lot of their comments annoying to read without obviously adding any value.
The most in-depth analysis of the themes in the first three acts of KRZ I've seen was published by superlevel.de. Unfortunately following a change to the website it's now only available through web archive (and a lot of interesting photographs are sadly missing):

I hate that clay pot metaphor it gets trotted out to justify everything and I dont find it particularly insightful. I feel like in software the take-away should be "throw away your crappy previous attempts and keep iterating" but usually people use it to argue "dont plan anything and ship the poorly built prototype"
> Unless I'm misinterpreting this, you seem "not to longer agree" with the merits of free speech. If so, then why do you hope to be wrong about it eventually disappearing?

I still believe in the merits of free speech as regards reasoned good-faith open debate and communication, what has changed is that it is now clear to me that bad-faith propaganda without regard for reason cannot be countered by reason, and that such communication is in fact significantly dangerous.

> Even if I agreed with this [that misinformation can't be countered with reason] —which I don't— the answer to this hypothetical reality is definitely not to start removing actual information.

If recent events haven't convinced you, I honestly don't know what will. I don't see any way around having to remove the underlying (mis)information in order to prevent its spread. Events have shown that merely tagging misinforamtion as such is not effective, and that's without getting into an argument about who gets to judge what is and isn't misinformation.

> Do you have historical evidence to back up this claim?

You mean aside from the increasingly violent divisiveness of politics in the past dozen years? Not really. I'm not intending to prove it exhaustively in my post so much as to say that it seems like it might be the case. I welcome evidence to the contrary.

> All in all, my hope is that we find easier, better ways for people to fact check, instead of removing data wholesale.

People have many methods to fact check right now, but it has been shown that people prefer to ignore information that runs counter to what they want to be true. People can be lead to water but can't be made to drink, it seems. Indeed, the information age has made fact checking more accessible than it has ever been in history, yet we have seen recently that people will attempt to overthrow the government based on outright fabrication and even call for the hanging of an otherwise politically aligned individual for disagreeing with them.

Do they have examples? Because I can show you porn on Twitter rn....
yes, but with wiki it would be filled by people, with better synergy of what people are actually interested about.
This reminds me of the charts of real risks (heart decease, etc..), vs most searched for (terrorism etc...)
I guess your education did not teach you that correlation does not imply causation. The simpler explanation for why people that are educated lean left is that the people teaching them lean left. Why do teachers lean left? Because they are often broke and underpaid. The fact that there is such uniformity of thought in higher education just goes to show the power of indoctrination.

I feel bad harping on common talking points but most degrees do not teach analytical thought.
Localize Shopping Results
Guys, I am building an international e-commerce app using MERN stack and React native

Whats the best way to localize results? So products not listed in US are not visible to US customers. And German users are not seeing American products. UNLESS they choose to see them from dropdown like eBay and Amazon

I have tried using cloud flare but didn't work.

Any feedback and ideas on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
From his other tweets it looks like a call to action to me, although he has clarified that it's not a call for a massacre. This tweet seems to sum it up:

The total cost of healthcare is high and allocated all over the place in the US depending almost solely upon the mercy of one's employer. From a total systemic cost the US has the highest cost in the world per person on every metric possible. What typically happens is many will simply drop from insurance pools and because they tend to be poor make the statistics for the insured look better, which makes our conservatives believe the system produces better health outcomes similar to the statistics for charter schools. I'm quite sure that the actual cost per person for the Netherlands is not actually what the system pays in total because there's taxes whether levied upon income or at the side of an employer or other non-government entity will make up the difference. In the US, unless you're desperately poor or retired (Medicaid or Medicare, respectively), your insurance plan is essentially whatever pricing the market will bear, which means "whatever insurers and health providers charge each other."

Thermal solutions at home to get warm during the winter season
You have certainly noticed that there is a strong cold snap that has started since the start of this winter season. This particular climate requires early preparation to guard against influenza illness, especially with the current existence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
I never season my pans. Use soap, water, and aluminium foil (if food is baked on) to clean them. Dry in the oven to prevent rust.

A couple of times after I made eggs, I let the water sit for too long, and the pan got a bit rusty. No problem with cast iron! Just a bit of steel wool and it was as good as new.

A cast iron pan is the easiest pan you'll ever use.
AAAAH!!!!! [1]

As cheesy as it might sound, I found inspiration in jwz's attitude way back in 1998-ish. Strong principles of pragmatic design, speaking your mind, and being able to walk when the bullshit gets too deep are still a winning combo.

Not to leave out Joel! He's an excellent curator of the software ecosystem, a kind of Steve Irwin of software.

It turns out that proper attitude, pragmatism, and getting results are the most durable skills in software: the rest is just tools and process.
I use only cast iron, always cook on a wood-burning stove. The way I season pans is simple, I just put the thing on a medium fire, dab some canola oil on it, rub it in, wipe it off, repeat this once or twice after which I just use it with enough oil (canola or olive). I clean them by rinsing them while hot with cold water which starts boiling immediately, wipe them with some paper and put them away. As long as they're kept dry they don't need reseasoning. No fancy oils needed, no special rituals, just use them regularly and that's it.
It's MAGA world, they are closing ranks around "violence is ok look what you made us do".

It's the natural last step in any fascist movement. The question remains, how many Americans remain this radicalized. If the number is low enough , the country survives.
I think they mean: "We don't store all your search results for years and monetize you, like the other major search engines. Especially the biggest one, u know what I mean."
I like that they added a lot of plots. They basically explained the plots. The plots are interesting to read. I haven't looked at this kind of climate info for a long time so I like reading this kind of thing from time to time.
>There is a silent majority that is watching and wondering. And shaking our heads.

I am not sure that you are in silent majority. Most people agree that Twitter should have banned Trump long time ago and are relieved that they finally did that. Since the majority do believe Trump incites violence, Twitter and Facebook etc. felt okay going ahead with banning him.

I still haven't heard a rational argument against banning Trump on Twitter. All free speech bullshit, which has been explained (why it is nonsense) for many years.
We also can’t tell what is the death rate of all babies delivered by black doctors from this study
I had similar issues with the AllClad pans I bought, so I called them out of frustration. They recommend Dobie sponges in addition to the Barkeeper's Friend. It seems to help.

What also helps is simmering something acidic in the pan for about 10-15 minutes (wine, watered-down vinegar, etc). The base then cleans pretty easily. It's the burnt bits of fat that splatter up the walls of the pan that are murder to get out.
"owned"
The challenge with living in this world of lies is that eventually reality sets in, and reality can't be lied to. Whether that's the virus killing someone you love, or the Russian army crossing the Vistula, no amount of swearing up and down that it's all BS can change that.
is it built like a tank?
This is common nomenclature to enhance readability in fields that have a large number of neologisms and proper nouns, such as some technical domains, medicine, investment banking, and so on. It's particularly useful when names are in the same language as the base language (e.g. in English "Peter" is easily recognized as a name, but "better fish" means something in the language, but can also be used as a proper noun, so using italics for proper nouns serves to disambiguate the intended meaning).
I would argue that a plan for handing out condoms only with proof of citizenship could be suspect of an attempt at ethnic cleansing. Similarly, if the central government of the Netherlands passed a law to hand out free condoms only in some particular province that may be suspect as well, especially one that has been considered of a different ethnicity.

However, if the local authorities in Frisia were to implement such a plan, that would be closer to the first case of universal measures, since the authorities in Frisia shouldn't be expected to hand out condoms in other provinces. Of course, if it turned out that the measure was in fact planned by the central government and passed off as a local idea, that would again move the needle towards being suspicious.

In general, intent matters - that is why the law can't be formalized mathematically. If a country is targeting some group that it has historically considered "different" (regardless of how questionable the difference is) with some kind of measure which may have negative consequences, that measure should receive scrutiny, and the context should be identified. For example, giving poor people condoms may be an attempt at population control in one country, while in another country it may be a democratically enacted benefit.

We are far away from providing mathematically clear definitions of legal concepts such as genocide, murder, theft, fraud and anything you like. There are always surprising subtleties, and intent and context are always going to be a part of the definition.
Yep should work just like a regular mobile check deposit
one issue is that it would also need some additional UI to allow to explore risks conditional on personal circumstances.
like, it's not that interesting to know the risk of dying in an earthquake, on average, but need to condition it on user's location.
Could something like this be added to your service?
