I'm a co-creator of the NASA Wikis and I wrote that 5 Year Wikiversary page. Early on we thought creating one wiki for every group was the way. We were wrong. It's better to have as few wikis as possible. We now structure our wikis based on the level of data protection. I think the intelligence agencies do this too.

See https://mediawiki.org/wiki/EMWCon_Spring_2019/Creating_the_I... for a talk about why and how we merged wikis after learning the hard way.

I need to start exploring the stats again as we're celebrating 10 years this coming November.
Specifically, the report stated there could be no accusation that any sitting President committed a crime because it would be unfair. Mueller knew the Justice Department would not charge a sitting President, meaning the President would've been effectively denied the right to defend himself in court.

Sadly, Barr took the opportunity to put a different PR spin on the lack of accusation.

I think Skylark (the language for Buck/Basel) represents an interesting compromise here that I like better, even though in the past I was a huge Cmake advocate.

The majority of rules are declarative and easily understood. Python (or at least a dialect extremely close to Python) is how you extend and write new rules. The two live in very different files (declarative rules are in BUCK/BUILD files, .bzl files contain the imperative definitions of rules, and various other conventions control how you deal with platforms (ie select rules).
You are 100% correct. The attitude on display in the parent comment is the same type of rhetoric you see everywhere, and it is not winning over anybody “on the other side”.
If we make the right own their extremists in terms of rhetoric, action, and ideology then I think the same standard is appropriate for the left. The only people that complain about "both sides" points are people who can't introspect their own ideologies.

All you've done here is ask that people on the right ignore your fringe groups, but would you do the same? Or would you do what they're doing and engage in hyperbole to make you deal with them?

Both your parties are junk to me, so I'm happy to keep saying "both sides" until you all get your bad behavior under control.
All of what you wrote is bullshit. Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

You are using language to evoke an emotional response to manipulate the reader into feeling that there is a problem, rather than identifying a specific problem in order to mitigate that specific problem. The language you are using is indistinguishable from anti-democratic propaganda.

This is reliable material about the voter fraud myth.

Have you actually read what the average twitter user posts?

Almost all of what I see on there is magnitudes worse than anything I've seen Trump post, and yet there's no action against those users...

This is clearly partisan politics. The ban hammer is not applied equally.

I see unbelievable insults, direct calls for violence (from both sides), acrimonious, spiteful and hateful posts - with zero consequences.

But Trump posts "go home peacefully" and he's banned?

I don't know about you, but I've actually spent a lot of time reading Trump's Twitter feed. While I'm personally embarrassed about his lack of executive poise, and I disagree with most of what I've read, I've never seen anything that would come close to a call for violence, or many of the other things he's been accused of.

Happy to read examples if you have some and I've just missed it.
Ah, I see it's confusing, but I really meant decentralized.

What we currently have is centralized in the silo-sense.
Agreed. I find it incredibly frustrating that twitter invents its own emoji, which aren't even emoji, but images. So they don't copy+paste properly. They're also miles behind slack and discord in terms of not offering a nice way of searching emoji.
The generalization is a good principle to uphold, wouldn’t you say?

Should newspapers be forced to publish the presidents tweets for those who are not on Twitter?
You said the opposite.

No, Apple is trying to ban the alternative product that has been created.
Vitamin D is still being discussed quite a lot on HN. My understanding is that it boils down to "It helps those who are deficient but doesn't do much, if anything, if you aren't deficient."

Now, a lot of people are deficient -- probably more now than usual due to the lock down because people aren't getting out much, so people are getting less sun exposure. So I tend to get downvoted when I say things like "If you are deficient, you should redress that. If you are not, extra Vitamin D seems to do nothing and is potentially bad for you (because it is fat soluble and you can hit toxic levels in your system if you overconsume)."

I think there may somewhat less excitement about it because it helps if you are deficient but not if you are not, so it fails to serve as a drug substitute. People tend to not get excited about the idea that treating nutritional deficiencies helps shore up your body's ability to fight disease, even in cases where that deficiency is fairly widespread and the disease in question is fairly deadly.

Hoomans: Not the most logical species.
If you try to set a google alert for "Clojure jobs" and "Haskell jobs", or just go through "HN: who's hiring" of the recent years and compare search results for Clojure and Haskell, you'd see that it's not "just slightly above". Clojure currently is the most widely used FP lang.

The author suggests creating a fusion reaction well behind the ship, but channeling the useful parts of it in an electromagnetic field tunnel to create thrust while dissipating the heat more effectively. Vaguely like Project Orion, but with a more-or-less continuous external fusion reaction instead of a series of nuclear explosions. I am not a physicist, but they seem to have done their homework.

The fact that this was incited by President of US for whom about 70 million voted for despite him showing all these tendencies for pay 4 years would mean that this is intact a huge event. How the hell can any sane person call this a trivial event?
Yeah, I think it could be quite useful as well!

Just like how some view Trump as dog-whistling support for the riots, even though semantically he's supporting their right to protest a fair election. Carlson views reallocating funding for the police to social services as dog whistling support for violent crimes.

160 years ago, Lincoln and Douglas were able to hold civil debates about slavery, which gave Lincoln the popularity he needed to win the presidency. I'm not sure how public discourse has decayed so significantly when we're more educated than ever.
You probably may want to use Bazel. Buck’s Windows support at Facebook was fine (most all the PC oculus stuff is built with Buck) but I don’t know what state the OSS version is in (maybe technically has support but the internal pieces that make it work well don’t have OSS equivalents that are decoupled from other FB-internal things).
mmap has less deterministic memory pressure and more complex interactions with overcommit (if enabled).
Yea. No one is complaining that the "Parler" website has been banned. The issue is can a competing product have a comparable offering, including a proper native application with notifications, and all of the features only allowed to be used via native API calls.

Fine, you disagree. But statistically, Trump has overwhelming support within the Republican party, even after this.

Vast majorities of Republican voters believe that Biden stole the election. Scarily huge majorities of Republican voters believe that something approaching Civil War is possible. Similar numbers exist that believe Democrats were trying to invalidate the 2016 election with their calls for impeachment before Trump even took office.

If San Francisco had any diversity of thought at all, it would understand how damaging their petty bans and disclaimers have been. But it doesn't. The perverse reality is that San Francisco has become an echo chamber.

100% going to use this. Was trying to pick out SMD parts from the JLCPCB inventory just a couple weeks ago, and it was definitely a giant pain. This looks great!
Acceptable to some, still not frequent enough though to be normalized.
I should have clarified - I was referring to net margin, not gross, as net margin is what you'd discuss in this context. While gross margin is useful in some industries, it isn't useful for many companies discussed on HN, and you can't compare gross margins across industries. When people say "Walmart has a thin profit margin", they're not referring to Walmart's ~25% gross margin, they're referring to their ~3% net margin. (Apple's net margin is ~18%, gross margin ~38%)

If you're looking deeper into a business's financials, gross margin can be a useful metric, but for the layman gross margins are usually used for misleading purposes. For example, gross margins can be easily Tweeted to make the point that "this evil business is making money hand over fist by selling xyz", or to indicate that a business is doing better than it actually is (Uber and WeWork, for example, have positive gross margins.)

If you want to know the number representing how much Walmart paid for that chair vs how much you paid, you want to know the "markup". Markup is the difference between the cost of something and the price it is sold for. Confusingly enough, this is represented in different ways in different industries: some represent it as a fixed amount, some as a percentage of the total cost, and some as a percentage of the selling price. If you buy widgets for $4 and sell them for $8, your markup is $4: either (8-4)/8 = 50% of selling price, or (8-4)/4 = 100% of cost.

Markup as a percentage of cost can range from several hundreds of percent (luxury goods) to ~15% (grocery stores.) Restaurants usually mark up food around 60% and drinks around 75%-400% (markup 300% of cost = $6 beer that cost $1.50.) "Keystone" pricing is when the markup is equal to the cost (meaning the ring on sale for $10k cost them $5k) - and is common in many industries including the jewelry industry, although fancier jewelers charge far more and budget sources charge less. Car dealerships, funny enough, have a lower markup than people might expect, between 2 and 5% of cost for economy base-model cars and 15% for high end cars. You can add in a few more % when you start to additional features to the car. (Dealerships these days often make most of their money through financing, service, accessories, warranties, and selling used cars.)

It's very interesting to see historically high markups evaporating with direct-to-consumer sites like Aliexpress. But I've rambled enough in this comment already :)

The perception that disagreement is bad.

Seems to me that if two people agree perfectly on something; there's nothing to discuss and no reason to communicate.

Where people disagree, then a discussion can happen, and others can be entertained and informed even if the original parties aren't.

If I feel the need to say something, and can't stand the thought of contradiction, I'll go shout at the trees some more. They may not agree, but they don't talk back.
When you have so many people talking past each other because they're bucketing groups of people and assigning to them beliefs and behaviors while dismissing concerns with the casual "do all x believe y?" with on-going violent results, I don't think it's pedantry at all.

In less heated times when people are engaged in good-faith debate, we can be more lax with our language. From the discussions of the past few days, that's clearly not the case right now. We're unlikely to get past this without first being more nuanced ourselves.
That doesn’t seem at all obvious. There were guys with zipties looking for elected representatives, and the electoral college votes could easily have been seized and destroyed. With hostages, a siege could easily have played out. What would Trump have done in that situation?
There are some key differences: Facebook/Twitter/YouTube don’t just send messages, they also chooses which ones to promote to a wide audience. SMS only spreads if I know your number and think to add you. IRC only spreads if I choose to connect to a server and join a channel. In contrast, Facebook will promote things to you unprompted and will use your friends’ names and pictures to promote them. YouTube will suggest videos and start playing them automatically (there was a time where almost any gaming related video would get unhinged anti-feminist rants next because the guys who were outraged by Anita Sarkeesian’s existence showed high engagement numbers and the ad maximization algorithm suggested other things they liked).

This is why Trump et al. are so outraged like this. He’s a millionaire and could afford his own copy of WordPress but that won’t come with a free recruitment machine.
The Right Wing victim complex is real.

Brooklyn? Everyone knows Montreal bagels are the real deal.
> It is extremely bizarre to me to watch the left cozy up to corporations.

The Left opposing the Right’s efforts to commandeer corporate resources to serve right-wing political agendas and demonize (and incite violence against) those insufficiently subservient to right-wing interests against the will of the corporations involved isn't “cozying up to corporations.”
So? Hold a press conference or something. These platforms aren't even close to the only communication tool they can use why should one tool be forced to suffer them. My life is certainly better without seeing Trump's asinine and sometimes dangerous commentary on Twitter if I want it I'll go check my NewsNation app.

This right here is part of the problem. It's the government they can post commentary on a us.gov twitter clone or blog or whatever. I don't even agree that outside of government funds we should provide special treatment for our elected officials. We certainly have the resources to establish any communication tool they could possibly conceive of outside of private business.
> The rate of murders of police officers matches roughly the rate in the general population.

And they wear body armor, can call for backup, and can engage threats with deadly force. I would imagine a job with those tactical advantages would have a much much lower murder rate than the general population.
What’s the alternative? Force private companies to do business with people they don’t want to regardless of their behavior? Should an ad agency have to work with every client that walks in the door?

The deplatform calls might be targeted at the hosting company, many instances will block his one, and the Mastodon ecosystem will split because many LGBT people use it and they don't like him.

I don't know about the load capacity of the activity pub protocol, but Mastodon is built on elixir and it might help somewhat.

If you play the market sure, you should expect a hefty risk to get burned.

But to me, a birdseye view of bitcoin is a currency that's created by design to be deflationary, that found a niche as a value store. Sure, there are ups and downs, and also considerable risks long term (regulatory first of all), but it should be noted that pretty much anybody that ever bought btc has lived to see a higher price, regardless of ups and downs. That's what makes it very good for what it does (long term value store).
not deleting something allows it to be shared, or at least show up in search results. it allows it to be seen by people who otherwise would not see it- this is amplification.
Dunno about the term rednecks. Many of these people were from San Diego. Hardly any rednecks there.

I don't think you answered the questions in good faith, and I think I responded to you in good faith.

If a sheep is someone who: "tends to trust lies they've been force-fed, without questioning." Then what is a good measure of who is a sheep or not? I questioned your beliefs, and you gave me back lines from your echo chamber verbatim.

Here's some good questions for you:

"What are some of the weak points of my belief system?"
"What might I be wrong about?"
"What is a good faith summary of the other person's argument?"

If you're acting in good faith, those shouldn't be even remotely hard questions. If those are hard questions and can't be answered directly, you should re-examine who is a sheep.
If you think being against white supremacy is “far left”, you might be a little too far to the right.
