> the maintainer was not happy with my approach

This is the absolute CORE of the problem with open-source software. Someone becomes the "maintainer" of a project, often through no skill of their own (they just showed up at the right time), which effectively makes them BDFL with infinite veto power. Hard-forks of popular projects are politically unpopular (for good reason), so that isn't an option. Instead, the whole world of software that relies on a package is broken or fixed at the whim of one dude.

No one is saying there's zero fraud, it happens every election on very small scales, but its only ever at the scale to affect elections that are within a few hundred votes. None of the states were anything close to that.
> The Bay of Pigs is a good example of an actual coup attempt with military training and small arms.

The Bay of Pigs wasn’t a coup attempt, though it was an attempt to replace the government. It was an invasion, support for which was cancelled when the expendable, superficially deniable spearhead force did less well than planned.

And, yes, there are lots of differences between it and coup attempt at the Capitol, which is why I didn’t say they were similar generally, only specific, identified points.
The belief that Hillary won the popular vote overall is pretty widespread. But isn't that true and uncontroversial?

Beliefs about Russian interference are also widespread, but they are also true/well documented and unconnected to the actual voting.

There was no movement that I know of, like we see now, saying that the swing states that went to Trump had subverted elections.

Once or twice recently I may have seen someone idly saying "hey, Republicans tend to project, I wonder if we should investigate the 2016 and 2020 elections to see if they were up to something".

I ran across the claim that Republicans won in almost all of the states that don't have proper paper trails for voting, which could be suspicious. I don't know if that's accurate, and I don't know of any movement pursuing that.
It's not as if anyone even uses it. It's not even supported in the desktop clients.
Americans didn’t Weimar-Republic into a fascist regime this time, thankfully.

The prevailing idea on HN is however “let’s have no regulation than bad regulation”... Guys, there’s such thing as good regulation.
Banning things left and right is inciting more violence than the content itself. They're making a lot of people desperate who were already extremely distrustful of authority. They don't need Steve Bannon to tell them that tech companies are trying to silence their movement, all they need is Hacker News.
Yea, 6 months of coordinated riots and the "right" is the problem https://fukkot.com/riots/all/

Oh and Biden won less counties than Hillary, which was already low for her (hence her loss). Biden under performed in every state except for 5 key swing states and even then it was only a "win" because a never before seen amount of mail in ballots were used. Perhaps they were fake, or perhaps people that would never set foot in a voting place were fine with circling "biden" on a mail in ballot and dropping it back in the mail box. Still against state law either way.

Oh and very few ballots were contested due to signature mismatches. Funny because Obama won his senate seat in the 90's by having a team canvas all of his competitors primary ballots and had them whittled down until he was the only one running for the office that year.
This problem is assumed to be common knowledge among graph theory specialists.

nazis should not have platforms and private enterprise is well within its rights to decide that this time they will side against the fascists instead of making the completion of the holocaust more efficient, like they did last time.

i understand the form of this argument, but parler was literally a place where the primary purpose was to discuss how to rid america of people like me. i don’t know why my existence is up for negotiation in society.

whatever parler’s initial intent it became primarily a place for disaffected right wing radicalization up to and including advocating the eradication of my family from the earth.
The people who should complain about this are the advertisers. It amounts to fraud on the web site's part.

> Will students be required to take in-person classes or be present on campus?

Students will NOT be required to take in-person classes or be present on campus for the spring semester. Almost all academic offerings, including those with in-person instructional activities, will also be delivered remotely.
Courses that will be offered in-person if public health conditions allow will have remote alternatives so that students can continue to make academic progress.
I think there are two ways you can go about incorporating this.

1. You can look back on projects you’ve done or projects you’re working on and try to see how they fit with your work.

2. Trim the list down and add the remaining items to a list or documented ordered by what you work on. Keep the remaining items in a handy place you can reference when you’re in appropriate steps of your project.

For example, the rules in the article can possibly be grouped as follows: 1. Project timelines, 2. project accountabilities, 3. Engineering requirements and design. I would then refer to these in the corresponding phase of a project.

It would be nice if there was a store attached to each law. Knowing the source of the law would be helpful in knowing how to apply it.
Do we placate them by refusing to acknowledge an obvious win? I'm sorry but it went way too far. The president and everyone who went along with his BS were writing checks they couldn't cash and so their followers go all worked up because of it.
A government sponsored media outlet giving justification to the victimization of innocent civilians is much worse.
> In general Wikipedia does have mechanisms to deal with this sort of thing, but admins don't always catch on early enough.

I'm not convinced that it works, but regardless, 'not early enough' is effectively not at all. It's like the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust suit against Microsoft - Netscape and others were long out of business. 'Justice delayed is justice denied.'

The comment below by arp242 demonstrates it: There was a massive campaign on the lacrosse players' behalf and if the campaign succeeds, it becomes circular: That becomes the truth that arp242 believes.

There's no evidence that the accusations were false (last I knew), they were just never brought to court; she never had her day in court. (What was the defense so worried about?). You know what they tell victims like the person allegedly raped: 'Nobody will believe you. You're nothing, we're powerful. We can do whatever we want to you.'. Duke University is a powerful institution; some of the lacrosse players parents were Beltway PR consultants, IIRC. Their position was all over the news; the U.S. Attorney General took a position in a local county DA's sexual assault case of no other merit but its publicity. People in power (and on HN) identify with Duke students, not strippers. What will a stripper do in the face of that? Call up her friends in the CNN newsroom? Look at the things DAs do and never get disbarred. What it takes is bringing charges against the powerful. Wikipedia was part of that.
See my response above; thanks.
You've convinced me to play Outer Wilds.
There is some advocacy to provide public defenders in civil matters. The reasoning is that financial damages can effectively deny liberty, even though the method differs from criminal.

That of course would not mean pressing private firms into public service.
There is clearly a large disenfranchised segment of the population. They have all kinds of reasons with varying degrees of veracity. Lots of people are trying to ignore it, sweep it under the rug, etc. But the real problem here is that a lot of corps+people are trying to "fix" it by stamping it out. Nearly half of the U.S. voted for trump - so I don't think stamping it out is going to work - but it might lead to worse things.

I mostly keep it plugged in and have a charger for each room in the apartment.

I've replaced the battery in a 2013 Macbook pro. It is very similar to the 2015. If I don't buy a newer laptop when the time comes, I'll gladly pay the Apple store to replace the battery for me.
Your advise is very good and I have gone through the exact steps before I could cook decently. I am a hardware enthusiast and working with my hands was a big outlet from my day job as as software engineer.

Being Indian and Doing Indian cooking I learned a lot by going through the basics of Spices and blends. I have a list of recipes from my mother and grandmother and understanding why they were blending the way they were was very helpful.

Also I learnt to meal prep for the weekday on the weekend. Most of the foods is more of preparation (creating batter, dough etc) and the cooking on actual heat is simpler.
Nowhere near enough to actually influence the election.

These are genuine reasons to be angry but these people are angry for the wrong reasons. While their candidate, Trump, promised to change the political landscape he actually prooved even more incompetent than the former. There are 100s ofreasons which im not going to bother to mention here. He lost the elections for those reasons and also because he was not tearing down the establishment but the nation. I see people comparing BLM with the proud boys and that is the most dishonest thing to do. BLM were protesting about police brutality which affects us all. Proud boys were a rebranding of a radical group who was directly following Trump’s orders.
yeah, yeah. programming contest problems make better programmers, sure. OP is arguing that developers should be more involved in product design though. although in a large enough shop that will likely cap out with a single service...
Surely if anyone's pushing an agenda of the Taiwan issue it's the geopolitical entities that have extremely strong financial incentives to do so.

If you define "country" as being an entity recognised as a country by some percentage of other countries, then sure, you'd exclude Taiwan. But Wikipedia worked out pretty quickly that this is a terrible definition when a thousand microstates all recognised each other but didn't recognise any "actual countries", and then claimed that Belgium no longer existed. So instead they use a policy of "does this geopolitical entity operate in the way that humans typically understand countries to operate". Taiwan passes that check.
I'll give a few quick links, but a quick search turns up dozens and I think you're competent enough to search for yourself. You have public statements of "Yes, going after Trump’s law firms is fair game" and then you have the expected harassment and law firms pulling out en masse. Maybe the client's toxicity is a factor, but that should be the only factor.

Usability is not about how many features a program has. Usually more features make it harder to have good usability.
Are you suggesting it is not in a society's interest to limit hate speech against minorities? Because that is what is being discussed.
I think you might be catastrophizing, it's definitely positively voted now, a mere 2 hours later. In the short term, votes are a Brownian process :)

Edit: this post itself has swung between 3 and -1 over just an hour!
Your narrative is so false, it isn't even funny.

The most liked and tweeted content on Twitter and Facebook skews heavily towards the right.

Fox news is the most watched news show in this country.

Your spin on the whole situation is a gross distortion of what is happening.
Those challenges weren't based on lies and charlatanry. Voter suppression is real and significant.

All figurative language that politicians (and non-politicians) use all the time.

Joe Biden literally expressed a desire to physically harm the President, and dramatic, ecstatic portrayals of his death have been shared for his entire presidency.

I actually think the model works well for Apple and matches my observation. I was more just commenting on the usage of "Apple's Framework" in the title. It implies this is something that Apple uses.

> Silicon Valley engineering practices can look very non-Agile to a lot people from traditional companies that are doing Agile.

This is of course because the thing that traditional companies call "Agile" is really just the same business-as-usual top-down manager-controlled garbage software process they've always used but with the cool-sounding name "Agile" slapped on it.

Whereas what SV companies do is much closer to what Agile is really about, regardless of what they call it.

We could say there is a strong argument Joe Biden and his family broke the law, and indeed there's a criminal investigation into Hunter and associates.

However not only did all the big tech companies not withdraw support for Biden or prevent his campaign from using their apps, they doubled down and censored the story so most voters would not hear of it before the elections.

Again, big double standards at play here from a moral sense.

The larger issue here is that the internet really isn't so decentralized as it used to be.

There's like 10-20 major companies that control the majority of services people use, or the underlying infrastructure that powers the whole internet. This goes against the original design of the internet which meant it to be fully decentralized so no single entity or small set of entities could prevent the flow of information.

We should try to go back in that direction, either through competition and free markets or by enforcing it via existing or new regulations to prevent situations like this from ever happening again.
Dark Crystal [0] is such a social key management system. It utilizes Shamir's secret sharing over a variety of distributed protocols (like scuttlebutt or briar) to allow you to break your secret (i.e. private key) up into "shards" and share them with your friends. Then when it's needed, you can retrieve it by having a subset of those friends submit their shard.

This is true, but I've also seen "product leaders" in organizations not articulate a clear vision, requiring the engineering staff to do a Socratic-like process to pull tangible requirements out of said "product leader". It's a tedious process so I'm not surprised engineers throw their hands up and just have a PM do it.

I do think SV puts more trust in their engineering teams to produce polished software, whereas other companies will burn through tons of dev resources over nit-picking or implementing speculative edge-cases.
Next up: I am angry, nobody hears me.
And product owner and scrum master need to be highly skilled people with a lot of responsibility instead of whoever has nothing better to do at the moment as is so often the case.

I still can’t figure out how line managers and architects fit into a well run scrum environment. Seems they would be losing a lot of power.
I use pcmanfm but there's no thumbnails in file picker still. They are separate programs it seems.

And yet they didn't, the Women's March following Trump's election was far larger and didn't lead to this.
All fair points, and yet even in the midst of this we saw white privilege at work this past week when the protestors were, for all intents and purposes, allowed into the Capitol.

These people have been told that their trouble is caused by brown people coming to take their jobs, by affirmative action. They are told that the government is the problem, when in reality so many poor people in the South rely on government assistance just to survive. They look for a cause for their troubles and the right wing media hands them a false narrative.

A mathematician here. The problem is that both 0 and 1 are useful in different situations: when dealing with sequences and series, especially ones arising from discrete models where the important thing to consider is going from one term to the next one (as is always the case when dealing with series), or when sequences are used as discrete approximations of a continuous process, it usually makes much more sense to start indexing with zero. On the other hand, using zero indexing with matrices and vectors leads to madness.
GMO's forecasts, and really the backbone of their entire investing philosophy, is that valuations will revert to historical averages.

Valuations are a non-stationary process with no defined mathematical mean, so the entire concept of "mean reverting valuations" is nonsensical.

Their entire investing philosophy isn't based on some deep understanding of the market but is simply an "end of history illusion" that the past (in this case the era in which the principals of GMO came of age) will continue unchanged indefinitely into the future.

It isn't just they they've been wrong about US valuations and US returns. They've also been wrong about Emerging Market valuations and those returns. It can't just be handwaved away as "US investors went crazy for FANG and Tesla" because that only addresses half their failure.
It's one thing to make a run at a pair of jeans when police are distracted to sell on ebay later. That's common petty theft. It's another to force entry into the Capitol when both chambers were in session along with the Vice President to certify election results. That's terrorism.
Out of curiosity what do you agree on with Bannon and Guiliqni? Can you elaborate please?
HN is largely pro fascism, and pro white supremacy at any cost.

This is an extremely bigoted place, and as such there are a lot of people who ar quite comfortable with a civil war which they feel might benefit them. These people do not care about democracy.

This is a deliberate result of long running mod3ation decisions.
Nice piece. I don't know anything about Chinese organized crime outside of GTA: SA.

Can the surname Tong itself signify any sort of association? I'm wondering because the San Francisco musician Winston Tong (most famously of Tuxedomoon) used it to his advantage, even though he was definitely not a gangster:

> "In early March ’79, Tuxedomoon played their first two dates in Los Angeles at Madam Wong’s, where they were supposed to share a bill with Noh Mercy! (Esmeralda Kent’s duo that had released a single, "Caucasian Guilt" on Tadlock’s label and with which Tuxedomoon shared a manager). Unfortunately Madam Wong didn’t appreciate the quite punk lyrics of "Caucasian Guilt" and refused to let the pair play. Peter Principle: "She and her Chinese mafia henchmen were threatening to force us off the road on our way back to San Francisco and that they would be following us for years. The actual quote went: "Years from now, after you have forgotten this event, you will look over your shoulder and you will see the Tong." To cut a long story short, Winston told them that he was Tong and negotiated for hours with Madam Wong in Chinese to get her to reinstate the gig. She would still have nothing to do with Noh Mercy! though, so we had to do two sets per night"." (Excerpt from Isabelle Corbisier's "Music for Vagabonds - The Tuxedomoon Chronicles")

Tuxedomoon also had a song "Joeboy the Electronic Ghost" with lyrics lifted from gang graffiti painted somewhere in the city.

Believe it or not the elections law wasn’t created in October 2020; they’re a well-regulated and secure process. As evinced by no one being able to present any evidence of widespread fraudulent behavior even in states with GOP legislatures and Secretaries of State.
Democrats tried to disrupt the electoral college vote in 2016, and there were many faithless voters.

They failed, but they tried.

Not to mention four years of telling their base the election was stolen or hacked, followed by a pointless impeachment.
