My speculation is that the actual phasing means very different things to very different people, and thus the actual nuance of what people believe in aggregate to be useless to discern by their agreement or disagreement with singular phrases. For example, "abolishing the police, with context that they would be replaced with equally strong mutual support systems, social workers, mental and physical health workers" could be a vast majority of that 15%, or it could be the vast minority of that 15%. We just don't know.
‘"the left caused it"’

I agree that this is obvious bullishit.

But it’s also bullshit to say ‘the right caused it’.

How many people are getting a free pass on saying that right now?
I can definitely see that being a factor, but to my eye the NYT in particular seems worse, and I think I’ve heard they made tons of money during the last few years. You definitely do see some great pieces that couldn’t be done without the resources of an institution like the Times, but it seems to be surrounded by a lot of schlock.

1. 4 years on non-stop propaganda by left wing owned mainstream media, amplified by online echo-chambers, will do that to you. Especially if the other side is labeled all shades of evil, like ‘racists’ and ‘fascists’ indiscriminately and without evidence. Slander is a powerful political weapon.

2. "Moronic sheep" is a poetic way to describe people who tend to trust lies they've been force-fed, without questioning. I blame the lack of critical thinking, groupthink, and deep internalized 'herd following' attitude nurtured from schools to colleges. Which, btw, a possible reason for larger Trump support among people who haven't passed through the brainwashing machine of the US college/academia.

I guess anti-individualism is the best way to call it. I always refer to excellent "Excellent Sheep" book by William Deresiewicz who succinctly described just what I experienced first hand during years of Ivy League un-education.

Fluvoxamine has the highest sigma-1 affinity by far. Fluoxetine's affinity is about an order of magnitude lower.

We don't even know if sigma-1 is responsible for the effects observed, but it wouldn't make sense to give someone Fluoxetine instead of Fluvoxamine (which is also widely available), especially when it would require overdose levels of Fluoxetine to achieve similar sigma-1 effects.

And spoonjim and ghaff kicked your teeth in.

Saying that "you don't need to use FB/Twitter, you can write your own blog" is like saying in 1789 "You don't need to be allowed to distribute your pamphlets in front of Faneuil Hall in Boston, you can exercise your free speech on the top of a mountain in Colorado."

To which you said:
>Being able to speak "only" from one's own blog only makes discovery difficult, it does not limit people's access post-discovery.

This applies to a random mountain in Colorado as well. Discovery is difficult, but after people discover it, they're free to go back ad much as they want.

I really appreciate the ACLU stepping up to bat here. The organization once defended the right of Nazis to march.

I write plenty of HTML by hand, for myself. I prefer to omit things like </p>, </li>, </td> and </tr>, because it takes less effort (and I hate text editor plugins that automatically add closing delimiters of any form, because they always do the wrong thing a meaningful fraction of the time in a way that I have to think about, more than if I just type the delimiters myself, though an accurate “insert at the cursor whatever is needed to close the last thing” shortcut might be handy), and reduces visual noise.

I also normally omit quotes on attribute values if correct to do so.

I mostly do these things when working on things of my own, when I know no one else needs to worry about them. When working on things others will touch, I don’t drop quite as many closing tags, and will normally leave attribute values quoted.

CHAZ and and the Minneapolis Autonomous Zone indicate it was far more serious then your post indicates.

On Tuesday night, a cop killed a man in Modesto - it was the 4th person killed by the same cop [1]. As you say, their are serious questions to ask about the police force and militarization. However, the racist/right wing thing is far too reductionary and fails to capture lack of proper training, lack of proper post-shooting responses, etc.

a bit OT, but I have a mortgage, and noticed that my mortgage processor did an upgrade last month, and have included a "what if I paid $x/month more?" live calculator, as well as a 'one time payment' calculator. of course, you can find many of these around the internet, but it was useful to see it baked in to my account dashboard with my exact numbers/dates/etc.
I don't like that kind of mentality much either, but is there a way they can suppress only some of the messages on their instance, while other ones are still federated on their instance? Maybe there would be a way to allow such a thing to work, that admininstration of some instance can program it to copy only the message they want to copy, or to let you to program your instance to only send some messages to their instance, so that some links including only some messages, and other links between instances will have all messages because they allow you to copy all of them.

(I think that the client-based filtering, although with default settings provided by the server (which the user can choose to use, customize, or ignore), might be better, but server-based could be used if needed, e.g. to avoid flooding the bandwidth. If you are using NNTP, then you can filter by From header, References header, Injection-Info header, Newsgroups header, etc. The server probably could still ban users who misuse those headers for ban evasion, I suppose, but if those headers are not misused, and the connection does not waste too much memory/disk space/bandwidth, then a hard ban is not needed and the filtering can be used instead.)
I'm not sure the conclusion that vector instructions are responsible for the speed-up is correct. Both implementations seem to use ERMS (using REP MOVSB instructions)[0]. Looking at the profiles, the syscall implementation spends time in the [xfs] driver (even in the long test), while the mmap implementation does not. It appears the real speed-up is related to how memory-mapped pages interact with the buffer cache.

I might be misunderstanding things. What is really going on here?

Haven't you seen the repeated message:

> We're not saying shoot them like you shot us. We're saying don't shoot us like you didn't shoot them.

The issue is with the double standard, and that's what's at the root of the BLM movement. Honestly I'm surprised that some people still haven't managed to understand what's at the root of BLM after like all the demonstrations that happened around it.

Even the name of the movement: "Black Lives Matters" aka "Blacks are not a lower class to be treated more arshly and with less humanity"

Which is why when someone says BLM nah ALM, it's absolutely missing the point of the movement. Cause how do you reframe that: "All people are of equal class"... Ok but black people aren't treated equally so like that's not true? That's why there are million of black people protesting. It's okay to maybe wonder... Wait is it true that black people are treated differently? Is it because they are black? Or is it more that poor people (happen to often be black) and are treated differently? Yes sure that's a question one can wonder, but you don't have to go very far at least to suspect that whatever it is, in effect, black people do get treated differently (be it because they are black or because they are poor, or because they're less educated, etc.) The why doesn't matter, the different treatment does, no matter what, nobody should be treated differently.

Sorry for the rant, but it's tiring having to explain these basics. Of course left and right can't even have a proper conversation around the issue when half the table doesn't understand what is the issue to discuss.

And I like to remind people, this isn't just the root of the BLM movement, this is literally the root of the United States itself. The declaration of independence:

> We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;

> Is the right-wing not against white supremacy?

Appeal to white supremacists to attempt to build a winning coalition has been a core GOP strategy for more than a half century; that part of the right-wing that isn't itself white supremacist relies on support from white supremacists to advance their agenda. (To be fair, that was true of the Democratic Party instead of the GOP from the founding until the 1960s, but for a couple of breaches between the extreme racists and the rest of the party that were usually healed in short order. White supremacy has always been a powerful enough force in America that it's always been a significant influence on at least one major party.)

It's a stock portfolio manager focused on dividends.

I have been thinking about financial independence and financial literacy for years. How so many of us were never taught about the impact of credit card loans and inflation on our financial situation. So as I've read more about how a brand new car is the worst thing you can do with your money, I dug deeper into how money can make money.
As I started investing right after university, I thought the web would be a better way to track dividends automatically, instead of manual google spreadsheets. So this is my project I work on weekends mostly, trying to visualize dividend stocks and what passive income I can expect. It's always half baked project because there are so many exchanges and stocks that all have their own problems and it's hard to automate from free data sources.
I really like building the project I use myself! Hopefully, it will last!
Harassment by police at traffic stops happens at orders of magnitude higher rate than the capture of potentially violent criminals with warrants.

And it does not matter: in the US and most civilized countries a police officer is supposed to have a reasonable suspicion before they start invading someone's privacy.

The idea of someone running warrant checks on the basis of a broken tail light is antithetical to notions like the presumption of innocence and right to privacy.
Indeed, my warning is about being cautious when making generalized claims.
That's funny, it seems they were perfectly happy to try starting their own country a couple days ago.
I think part of the reason we allow states and cities to operate with their own governments is just so that they can explore, research, and innovate on a societal level. Bringing politics nationally like has been happening in the USA stifles innovation and therefore could make it harder to find better strategies to handle nonviolent crimes.

(This is not a disagreement, this is mostly conversing on the nuances of exploring the policy given our current political setting. )

I've noticed that Tesla tends to get away with a lot of QC issues and lack of some creature comforts because it allows people to feel like they are part of "the future", but also maybe because the ride/drive experience is perhaps good enough to gloss over any imperfections.

some feedback.

1. I saw in the change log that you support IPv6, make it more prominent in the front page as well. (maybe add IPv6 support to pingr.io as well)

2. Your pricing is what I was looking for, per request and per location. but the fixed charge thing is what holding me back. maybe a prepaid option would be better. eg: a person adds $10 credit to the account and uses it at pay as you go pricing.

A little tangential, but are there any ongoing efforts to reduce the incredibly long term of copyright that have a shot in hell of success? I’m pleased that the periodic re-extensions that defined my youth have stopped, but would be saddened of that we’re the end of the story.

I will probably continue working on it at some point, mainly because I want to try out Lambda Layers.
