This really speaks to the problem, though. They've proven to be more than happy to bait the mob when they think they can use it to consolidate their own power.

The GOP has been doing a large scale equivalent of swinging nunchucks around in public. The problem isn't that sometimes it swings around the wrong way and whacks someone they didn't intend to whack. Well, no, it is, of course that's a problem. But the more fundamental problem is that they're recklessly swinging an unpredictable weapon in public in an effort to be intimidating in the first place. And the problem is that people who didn't feel personally threatened by this behavior just sat there and came up with sorry excuses to try and rationalize it. This is deeply antisocial comportment that should have no place in the top echelons of civil society.
> The Capitol Attack Doesn’t Justify Expanding Surveillance

In the sense of paying a few people to monitor public social media sites so that widespread in-the-open planning of a mass violent attack on the Capitol doesn't result in the FBI having no indication that anything but First Amendment-protected activities are planned, it does justify expanding surveillance.

It doesn't justify additional government surveillance powers, or intrusion into privacy, though.
If there were no investor protections then anyone following this “just put a bit into different things” strategy would get hosed by scams. It only works because investment laws keep out most grifters from raising funds.

Bitcoin isn’t a typical investment instrument in that sense, so I’m not sure applying the same heuristic works.

The fact that the DoD time line of events shows it took Army officials in charge of DC National Guard 90 minutes to approve deployment after DC mayoral request (while they watch it all in realtime on TV) certainly lends credence to the sympathy angle.

Yes, you have. The efficacy estimate was based on roughly ~200 confirmed cases, which your link confirms for the Pfizer vaccine.
There is a plethora of similar content to be found on Twitter so that is not the reason.

The mentioned platforms also moderate user content, they just have different guidelines. Both claim to follow the law in that they take down content which violates it. Both claim that only illegal content is taken down. That is, as far as I can see, in line with the expectations for a platform to be considered a "common carrier" and as such be freed from liability for its users' content. Platforms which go beyond this by moderating on different grounds run the risk of being considered publishers and as such to be held responsible for their users' content. If Apple and Google put further demands on those platforms the question becomes who eventually is responsible for user content, this might end up being Apple and Google. That, in turn, should make developers think twice whether they benefit from being on those platforms. The alternative is to deploy to the web without any "native" apps (which often are not much more than rehashed web apps to begin with) which opens their product to a wider user base without needing to bend to the will of third parties.

This would be a good thing in my opinion. The time for "native" apps has come and gone, the time for the web has been there for a long time but this might just be the push needed to convince developers to make it their prime focus. This goes especially for communications-focused products since those derive their usefulness from being connected to the 'net anyway. There is still a place for native apps - offline mapping, offline media players, hardware-interfacing apps like Wifi-scanners, step counters etc - but those tend not to be the ones which end up in hot water anyway.
Jeeze. All kinds of stuff actually. I was a kid really, but immediate memories:

1. Ride bikes around, see if friends where home and go build jump ramps or build forts in a vacant feild.

2. Make a fishing rod from a stick and see who could catch a fish first in the river with it.

3. Play cards, betting some embarrassing or physically difficult thing you had to do if you lost.

4. Ride/walk into town and check out the shops, pawn shops and local ice cream parlor. There was always some trinket shop too that had neat stuff no matter where we lived that I’d go routinely explore. Pawn shops where also a favorite, got my first guitar from there and outfitted my first car’s stereo with speakers from one.

5. Build or dismantle something to do whatever I wanted it to do. One summer I got tired of being on bunk beds with my brother and the trailer park we lived in had a bunch of left over 2x4 wood in a random feild. So I built him and me two separate twin beds. Then took apart the old metal bunk bed and built a treehouse with it sometime later.

6. Head over to a friends and play video games or sit and watch a movie together.

As an adult, I wondered a lot. Would go on hikes or explore new parts of the city I was in. Internet at this time was around, but not as apart of daily life as it is now.

I’d wonder and stop in at a bar, call up a friend and go do something. Often it was us all doing things we needed while also just hanging out together.

Come to think of it, socially speaking, things where much, much more social back then. Additionally, there was always a presence of whimsy or seeking to be inventive. With either your time or with you time+ whatever resource you had. I.e. a whole weekend on paydays would involve bars and buying things to mess with.

It was just a constant effort to invent something to fill your spare time with. Very often involving one or two buddies hanging around too.
While what Trump did here was bad, it's also important to know that others were a bit incompetent in this incident.

1) capital police rejects offers for more support before the event. The capitol police chief resigned because of it.

2) The sergeant arms for the house and senate also both resigned. https://nypost.com/2021/01/07/senate-sgt-at-arms-resigns-aft...

There have also been much larger protests in the capital where they never breached the capital building. No one properly prepared for this demonstration.
I remember meeting some Amazon developers at OOPSLA around 2000 and being pretty unimpressed. Like they told me they didn't really know what they were doing there and were just getting out of the office. Then, 2 years later, they started hiring the best, and the rest is history.

I think hiring top-quality, motivated engineers doesn't just give you good software, it also provides all the idea generation that you're going to need to enter businesses you never thought about before.
Well, with humans it's a lot harder and ethically challenging to take them apart, insert a few print statements, and put them back together again :)
A coup is when state actors illegally overthrow other state actors. Most coups are pulled off by militaries, e.g. how Pinochet got into power.

This would be an uprising; it's being called a "coup" because uprising sounds sympathetic.

Where was the ACLU's handwringing when these platforms were used to disseminate lies and sow dissension?
No, it's not a false dichotomy at all, or the first two pages of Google results on the topic are all wrong, powerlifting competitors are wrong (they should be doing 5x12 instead of 5x3, 5x1, 5x5 and many other rep schemes), Starting Strength as well as Practical Progamming for Strength Training are wrong and Rippetoe is a hack, my trainer (an olympic weightlifting competitor) is wrong, Alan Thrall's entire YouTube channel is false, and someone can make millions of dollars by showing that hypertrophy and strength are really one in the same and that there aren't three types of muscle fibers. This would have a huge impact in the fitness world if you were right. I don't think that's the case.
I don’t care what side your politics are. When corporations can so easily control the voice of the elected leader of a country (one who has genuine legitimate support or about half of the country), I become very scared for the future.

Corporations should not have more power than the elected officials.
Disregarding the hyperbole, rural areas have their own set of problems that seem outrageous in turn to city dwellers. It's easy to scorn the speck in your neighbor's eye; removing one's own is more constructive.

> Let's hope that this time some people will take notice because while everybody seems to be happy that this effort failed from the perspective of the perps it looks like a major victory: they took the bloody capitol with such ease that 10 minutes more planning would have had them hold house or senate members or even the VP or the speaker hostage. Or worse.

Except that... then what? That isn't how a coup works. You can't just take hostages and then make demands about who gets to be the President. It has no effect. Official actions taken under duress are invalid. As soon as you leave the building nobody is going to honor anything you demanded.

It's easy to take a building. Just show up with greater numbers than there are cops in the area. But a building is not the government. Physical possession of the Senate floor isn't what grants the power to do anything. It's purely symbolic.

The fact is that law enforcement operates primarily through deterrence. You can install some bulletproof glass and things like that, but the main thing preventing murders and such is that if you do it then you go to jail for a long time after.
"o-nii-chan" is a great example of translation difficulty because it's very natural in Japanese to refer to your older brother as "o-nii-chan" and it sounds like bad exposition writing in English.

This presentation from the Covid-19 Early Treatment Fund (a non-profit funding over a dozen trials) summarizes the data so far on Fluvoxamine. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1u7resy2bGA1_HIgj6Nc7...

Executive Director Steve Kirsch wrote this post on the most promising early treatments and CETF feels Ivermectin and Fluvoximine are the two most promising which they are currently funding studies on. He's continuing to update this post almost daily. As of now, the data is still insufficient to be conclusive (which he highlights) but I appreciate they are sharing these kind of insights from the front lines, at least for those capable of understanding the nature of evolving research and the associated uncertainties. Of particular interest, he links to Washington University's large-population, remote trial of fluvoximine that's free and anyone can apply and participate from home.

I took him as being sarcastic when saying there was always time to do it over. He's ironically stating the bad logic that people use to justify introducing new technical debt.

At least, that's what I assume, since I've heard this sentiment expressed in the much clearer phrasing "If you haven't got the time to do it right, when will you find the time to do it over?".

That's apparently the title of a popular book by a management consultant named John Wooden, but I'm not sure of the provenance of the quote.

You can't think of them because they immediately failed, and thus you forgot about them or, more likely, never heard of them in the first place.
Was it perhaps a multi-threaded task? Because that would almost definitely crawl.

In general, unmapping expensive, much more expensive than mapping memory, because you need to do a TLB-shootdown/flush/whatever to make sure a cached version of the old mapping is not used. A read/write does a copy, so no need to mess with mappings and TLBs, hence it can scale very well.

Oh uh, IIRC 2004/2005 or thereabouts. Personally I was using PC HW running an up to date Linux distro, as I guess was the vast majority of the userbase, but there was a long tail of all kinds of weird and wonderful targets where the software was deployed.
Last year we were migrating part of YouTube's serving to a new system and we were observing unexplainable high tail latency. It was eventually attributed to mlock()ing some mmap()ed files, which ended up freezing the whole process for significant amounts of time.

I don't think 'mobility' is a factor for squats. If you think you have bad mobility, try the low bar squat where the back is more horizontal at the bottom of the squat. I have a great deal of difficulty squatting with a vertical back, but I find squatting with a more horizontal back quite natural and easy.

It would take a lot to persuade me to move away from CMake and to use something 'non-standard' that few developers are familiar with:

* Excellent support for command-line builds on Unix

* Excellent support for Visual Studio

* Excellent cross-platform package-detection. (Acid test: Can it detect and link against OpenCL without me having to write my own cross-platform OpenCL-detection script?)

* Excellent documentation, including clear and consistent best practices and design patterns

* A sensible language, whether a scripting language or a declarative language. Must follow the principle of least astonishment and be relatively free of foot-guns. (CMake fails tragically on both counts.)

And no, before you copy/paste random twitter accounts, youtube conspiracy theorists, and "sworn" affidavits without corroborating material evidence: such "evidence" is not sufficient.

If it did then we'd have to believe that aliens are real, that lizard people are controlling the world, the earth is hollow, the moon is a space station, Nibiru is coming, and the pope worships satan.

That's the sort of theories your belief shares evidentiary quality with.
