Everything is analog, your rise time, your standing waves, your sensors and everything has parasitics. My rule of thumb is that anytime you tell yourself you will avoid learning something in electronics you will eventually have to learn it. That said, you can get a very long way by knowing almost nothing at all beyond high school science and playing lego, and I'm not talking about arduino at all. Need an Analog Front End? Take one from a reference design, take their code while you are at it. Want to know what is messing with your circuit? Learn and understand Maxwell's equations, or put it on a scope and google about. If you want to get products manufactured there is a lot to learn but if you do normal well understood things you don't need to be brilliant or talented.
There's a mutant strain in South Africa that could potentially be vaccine resistant. Let's hope either it isn't or that turnaround time for a modified vaccine is pretty fast.

There's two versions of barkeeper's friend, a powder one and a liquid one. The powder one is the one to use to remove caked on residue.
Hopefully you realize the hypocrisy of graying out my comment in the name of promoting discourse, but I doubt it.

Ideas should absolutely be judged on their merits; here we agree. Too bad that's not how humans work. Instead, they tend to choose whichever truth they like best based on how it makes them feel; politicians know this, which is why they don't bother crafting logically sound arguments backed with evidence. They play on peoples' emotions.

Moreover, the university is not a public square. You attend as a student, which means you are there to learn, not to share your thoughts like it's a real-life HN thread. Don't want to learn the material? That's completely fine. The solution is to not sign up for the class, not to whine about how "discourse is gone" just because the teacher doesn't want to waste time on every edgy kid's opinions. People didn't pay massive sums of money to hear you talk. They paid to learn from experts.
A lot of the debate seems to be over what oil results in a scratch-resistant coating. Scratch resistance tests can be purchased for less than $500:

It would be interesting to see the results for different oils, temperatures, bake times, number of coats, etc.
That is a non-sequitur right? Twitter , Google and Apple via their app stores, and now stripe are refusing to doing business not with a political party. They are refusing to doing business with people who have committed alleged(?) crimes.

The _actions_ by a group of people are resulting in these bans. Not the group's affiliation. Am I missing something here?
Really neat idea, a little awkward to navigate in this v1 prototype. I'm imagining replacing the vertical scrollbar with a 90 degree rotation of the flamegraph. Call it a flamescroll widget, it combines scrolling/zooming/folding into a single interface action. "Zoom" here refers to changing what depth of the comment tree is displayed, not the font size. Kind of a next generation of the minimap in Sublime.
Gee. Nobody would criticize antique car repair or collecting. Nor pretty much any other historical recreators.

Lets be honest, republicans (including trump) fought hard to allow companies to do this and much worse. They just though only cake companies in the bible belt would do it to gay couples, not to republicans.
I don't support the insurrectionists but they are far from being a tribe. If you listen to interviews with them there was a huge diversity of motivations. The crowd included anarchists, neo-nazis, rabid Trump supporters, constitutionalists, revolutionaries, people who honestly (but wrongly) believe the election was stolen, etc. The whole scene was chaos with no real organized tribal leadership.
By "overseas," don't you really mean "China?" I've seen some hefty shipping fees from other countries. China is almost always "free" shipping.
A bunch of idiots walking into a government building that they are not supposed to be in does not constitute a coup, it's trespassing. Meanwhile BLM burned down the Minneapolis police station over the death of an innocent man (who happened to have covid while being on meth and fentanyl at the same time) and they basically got away with it without any political backlash
That’s just it. A lot of people of all political persuasions are reasonable and rational. I don’t think the current administration is at all. I’m a generally middle of the road guy that has a general viewpoint of live and let live. The problem is we are letting fringe opinions dictate the narrative.

To me, this sounds a lot like "both sides, both sides". Politics is going to be messy. There's a lot of fait-accompli-as-fiat. But while there are two parties, there is no inherent need for the parties to be symmetrical. There is no equivalent person on the left to Giuliani, because he's meaningfully facilitated illegal insurrection against a peaceful transition, while in power.

I hear things like this, and I think it would be great if corporate policy in general were appeal-able to the government the banned person resides in. People get put into corporate jails and excluded from service wrongly all the time. That's a conversation I'm willing to have. But the like of Bannon and Giuliani have just been fleeing from platform to platform as their detestable ideas and statements finally catch up with the strong stomachs of advertisers. The government shouldn't be overriding private corporations who make an ethical objection in the face of boycott, without a very clearly laid out due-process.

I'm 100% in favor of criticality examining on a deeper level. I'm confused about how you disagree with me or how my comment is wrong. I'm trying to encourage people to listen to both sides.
Not a comment on to the ban, but trying to gain perspective on the overall heated environment. I wonder, if there are more than 2 political parties representing different view points in Congress will that help in decreasing polarization?
Electronics has a short life, especially 1970s electronics. Phenolic boards from the pre-FR4 era were just too fragile. By the 1980s, the PC board manufacturers had that under control.

I have five working Teletype machines I've restored, and they were manufactured between 1926 and 1950. All the wiring in the 1920s models had to be replaced, but by 1935, Teletype had that solved, and later Model 15 machines just did not age. Especially the WWII models that not only got the factory Parkerizing for rust prevention, but the Army coating for the tropics.

Annual maintenance involves 600 oiling points, though.
Well, they saw that over the past 4 years and then voted for him again, so, I have no sympathy, and neither should anyone else.
I was recently speaking with a medical friend of mine who spends a lot of her time reviewing clinical trials. She had an interesting perspective that made me rethink my attitude.

She didn't go into details, but she feels that the usual safeguards have been bypassed in an unprecedented manner when approving the covid vaccine, which in any normal situation would be considered completely unethical by the medical community.

She noted that this is an extraordinary situation and rushed approval was almost certainly the right move, but cautioned against judging anyone who refuses to get the vaccine and simply dismissing them as antivaxers. They have reason to be uncertain.

One. And you saw this guy on the tv and monitor you were glued to? Or you didn’t see this until after the fact.. on Twitter?

Further, staying inline with the thread.. This is how we define “mass armed people storming the capitol”? Contrast to the three blazes that were going on around dc in may. Did those controlled fires mean dc was burning down?

I am challenging the narrative. Dc was not burning in may just the same as a large mob of ARMED people didn’t storm the capitol...

You don't have an inherent right to a megaphone. Freedom of speech means you don't get in trouble from the government for saying things, not that you have the right to broadcast your message.
The fairness doctrine never applied to cable channels, nor did they have FCC licenses that could be revoked.
>A more benign framing of the conspiracy is that the tech companies desperately want to avoid any trust-busting activities by Congress so when the right is in power they don't do anything about right-wing extremism letting it grow & conveniently when the left is in power they deplatform right wing extremism that has grown, making legislators more anxious to enact any kind of regulation (just like the BS that MPAA played with ratings to avoid getting regulating).

If we accept the 'private company' argument as it has been recently presented, then even this falls under it as an acceptable outcome. I am not making an argument saying we should either reject or accept it was presented, only that if we were to accept it, this is a conclusion of the argument.
Berrian My Debt
Uh, the Russia investigation had credible evidence and resulted in multiple arrests and convictions. It turned up multiple cases of collusion with russian operatives. They did not, however find enough evidence that there was an overall conspiracy to collude or that Trump had any clue what was going on in the larger scope.
Legal counsel != a specific law firm.

AWS is one service. YouTube is one service. Twitter is one service.

Yes, they are big services - in most cases, the biggest service among their competitors.

They have stakeholders and financial incentives to not be associated with - or worse, seen as condoning - deeply unpopular or controversial political positions.

Why is it so easy to understand when it's a baker refusing to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding or a Christian-owned company refusing to provide birth control for their employees?
That said, you can't do that with windows or macosx.

I'm not as sure with Macs (and the surrounding culture isn't really eager on such things anyway), but there's a long history of people modding Windows in various ways, that goes back to the DOS days. Of course your customisation is highly unlikely to make it back to MS, but things like WindowBlinds were extremely popular.

There is no issue with alcohol in Catholicism. Indeed, some during the middle ages would live off beer alone during Lent, when they would abstain from food entirely. It is simply a question of moderation. There are many medevial images of monks drinking.

Is there any proof that the rioters wearing Auschwitz Tshirts, carrying Trump and Confederate flags who were told by the President that he loves them were Democrats?
This funny. You expend a lot of words on something which you say has no proof. If you didn't fear these ideas to be true, why spend so so much effort defending they can't be?

That comment asked for how, that's not a challenge, nor a refutation.

You don't want to face this idea, so to try to avoid engaging with it, you pretend you need to see more to merely consider it. But you can consider it immediately, and relate it to the world you see.

I understand that's not something you want, and it's hard for you, and I don't want it to be hard for you, so you could try just not believing it. And you can do that, without pretending you've disproved it. Why are you unwilling to disbelieve without pretending you've also disproved it, yet at the same time refusing try to disprove it by addressing and criticizing it? No wonder you seem upset, it must be very hard to be stuck in such a bind. But it's no one else's responsibility to get you out of that except yourself. It's your responsibility what you choose to believe or not and it's your responsibility to convince yourself or not of ideas, no one else's.

You work it out. You can think and use your mind.

You say it's condescending to note you own your own beliefs but it seems more condescending or arrogant or immature or irresponsible to try to incorrectly put the responsibility on other people, for what you choose to believe and how you choose to believe it.

If you are open and curious I'm sure you'd be willing to engage with an idea and criticize it but it seems from your comment that you've already decided that whatever other people write here will be nonsense, which is similar to how you decided that other ideas are nonsense without engaging and criticizing them, you don't seem open and curious at all. it seems much more like denial and psychological avoidance. which makes sense because these ideas are challenging and they threaten the worldview and the associated sense of security and stability with that.

So this problem where you shut your mind off and refuse to consider and critique the ideas and instead of this project onto others to demand that they solve the problem for you, is a common pathological projection pattern, but you can fix it, accepting you got yourself into this place and owning your own beliefs and the responsibility to convince yourself or not of ideas that you encounter.

Best of luck, hope this helps!
I suspect the secret service detail is in that travel budget.
A couple of states have had vote-by-mail for years, and Oregon at least has had it exclusively for decades.

The Republican Secretary of State ran an election audit in 2016 and found that, over 2+ million votes cast, around 50 or so were "fraudulent," most of those being cast by people who voted in Oregon and elsewhere.

Vote-by-mail is not problematic, if you consider the historical evidence provided by places that have been doing it for a while.
Do you think you would still have the same opinion if you were black?

For what it's worth, rental units (apartments & condos) across the bay have record vacancies due to remote work. That being said:

1) Single Family Home rentals are more rare, due to former SF dwellers seeking more space. (if living with roommates is preferred) SFH near campus tends to be particularly scarce / pricey.

2) Rental terms less than 12 months are rare since landlords prefer stability and want to avoid the financial and temporal cost of re-renting.

3) The commonly available units will likely be pricier than Stanford dorm rooms.

4) The friction involved to rent a regular off campus housing unit (paperwork, security deposit, etc) is more burdensome than the turn key nature of on campus housing.

I imagine virtual-learning college students still prefer to live off campus but in the general area so that they can meet up with classmates off campus?
I suggested to the folks behind pop.com, which does not show your face to you, to implement some form of indirect feedback mechanism when your face is aligned and centered. I thought maybe a small face+camera icon that turns red/yellow/green depending on whether your face is not visible, sideways/non-centered, or centered and in focus. That way even if you don't see yourself, at least you will know that others can see you fine.
Do you have reason to believe that it’s harassment that is stopping these people from getting legal counsel? Many of these people, Trump especially, have shown that they refuse to listen to legal council and will lie for no good reason at all, then throw their legal council under the bus if it seems like it will advantage them. There are many good reasons lawyers might not want to touch the current situation with a ten foot pole besides harrasement.
You work it out. You do your thinking yourself for yourself. That's your responsibility
Business people love to think that their knowledge is somehow on a plane that others can't approach, but we see how many dumb decisions are made on a daily basis. The business would be comprehensible and steerable to everyone in the company, including the janitor, if education were institutionalized.
I think you just described my current employer.
Instead of fixing old problems that the entire community agrees with wild consensus, they insist on spending time creating new problems.

Perhaps we should stop whining and start fixing them. And then if the developers refuse to accept things people have been wanting for well over a decade then we can fork it and simply abandon them like any other archaic unusable thing of the past. We've all asked very politely long enough.

This is open source, we don't have to put up with this, that's the whole idea behind it. Closed source solutions from 23 years ago shouldn't still be running circles around the current stuff. We should all be embarrassed.
As a NZer this is something I feel like we got very right. It has always just felt like an incredibly sensible and mature approach. It's a lot safer for everyone and it's not a big deal. The sky didn't fall down and the country didn't go astray. It all just got safer for everyone and things continued as normal.
You're comparing covid deaths with the countermeasures you're arguing against to flu deaths without them. This doesn't make any sense.
It is very saddening to see "modern" and "progressive" thinkers promote the idea of choice and freedom, while condemning those that choose particular lifestyles (monks, housewives, etc). Some of the happiest people in the world are the ones that choose a simple yet rewarding lifestyle. The unhappy ones, as I have invariably found, are those that are never happy with the choices of others.
They just vented all over the Capitol. It was far from harmless, and could easily have been much worse. Continued appeasement makes little sense.

If you can provide something other than hand-wavy speculative justification for your theory, I'm all ears.
100%. I’m worried we have a sort of Patriot Act overreach response to this event, rather than a recognition and diagnosis of broad institutional failure that led to this and a set of reforms of those institutions, be they private or public.
No offense but this is a pretty creepy comment. And who's this "we" anyway?
Nix is a powerful package manager. I can confidently compile and run multiple incompatible versions of software simultaneously. I can build projects from years ago. I can package large projects from different ecosystems (python 2/3, c/c++, go, Javascript, Octave, Rust) and be confident they will not interfere with each other. I can try bleeding edge software with no risk to it interfering with my system. It is faster and less hassle than juggling various Docker containers and VMs. It protects me from dependency hell. Using Nix to manage an operating system (ie: NixOS) then gives me those benefits for my entire machine. Then I get even more benefits when using Nix on any other (not even necessarily NixOS) machine by pushing around package closures and managing a simple binary cache.

But overall: it makes me more productive. It is my secret weapon to manage the complexity of software development.

I agree with you that counterfactuals are hard (and often pointless) -- but it is worth noting that it would have only taken a small shift in public support for Republicans to have kept control of the Senate -- for example, ~50K votes in the Ossoff/Perdue runoff, or alternately ~14K votes in the same race in the general election. That's an incredibly tiny shift, and one that could have been geographically isolated to a single state.

Additionally, I'd imagine a shift toward Republicans that fell short of Trump winning the presidency would have led to more unrest on Jan 6, not less.
