> It’s the violent assholes on both sides that need reigning in.

Agreed. However, a lot of the aggressive, confrontational rhetoric on both the left and right implicitly pushed the more action-oriented folks into making bad choices. So many of the "peaceful" protestors and even folks at home ramp up the rhetoric to the point where some confrontation is almost inevitable. Trump's rhetoric is a great example, and obviously extremely influential on the right. But while they're not as individually influential as Trump, there are firebrands on the left who do the same (AOC, Maxine Waters, Rashida Tlaib, many more on the state and local level).

And then even partisans who weren't engaging in aggressive rhetoric often excused it as understandable, which creates a nice cover for the folks engaged in violence.

Legal responsibility, of course, ultimately rests with the rioters who did the deeds. But moral responsibility is more diffuse. Many, many more partisans need to examine the role that they've played in creating the conditions for conflict, on both the left and right.

Twitter just does not have anywhere close to monopoly control on the flow of information. Only 20% of the country uses it at all.
Very true, but the effects will be muted as compared to the 37th of December (because 2020 didn't stop), I feel. The leaders of the movements have been identified and are pretty isolated as compared to federal law enforcement. The incoming USAGs are more than ready to make names for themselves in the prosecution of the insurrection. Combined with plea deals that can help expose their networks, I think that armed insurrection in a mass scale is not going to be as threatening. However, McVeigh style attacks are still a very very serious threat, I think.
No police were killed by BLM protestors. And considering the vastly larger amount of protests with BLM (more than 9000 protests), it's a wonder more violence didn't happen.

Had every BLM protest been as violent and unhinged as the capitol protests, we would have had thousands of deaths.
Worst case a few politicians and a lot of the "rebels" would have gotten killed. Basically nobody wants to die for trump, there is no risk of a huge armed uprising. It would have been a tragedy but on a grander scale it wouldn't matter, it would be like just another school shooting.

I'm building an unauthorized web interface for a car share service I use. They discontinued theirs in favour of their terrible mobile apps. I just finished the API client in TypeScript, now I'm on to the UI.

Over the last 9 months I've been learning Swift/SwiftUI and have been building a simple, well-designed (at least that's my goal) app for tracking your stock holdings. Ideal for casual investors that may use multiple brokers or already track their investments in a spreadsheet and want a better way to keep tabs on their holdings that's not some some clunky broker app/site.

I've been maintaining a thread of my progress on it on Twitter (Scroll up) https://twitter.com/Stammy/status/1346273355306037250

Have a few more things to build but here's my landing page for now: https://stocketa.com

Given the cost of market data APIs (and other services I use) this will likely be a monthly subscription product.

There are poll watchers from both parties - it's a role/position you apply beforehand to become a poll watcher. Their arrogance of the system, where in fact they all themselves could become poll watchers to make sure there isn't fraud, isn't a valid reason for them to be angry - though it's understandable that they would be angry with the propaganda they've been fed, when instead of they were told that there were Republican poll watchers at ALL of the polling stations - then their reaction would be "oh.. okay." Maybe if they didn't believe it then they themselves could work as a poll watcher to see for themselves. Likewise there were people saying exactly what I have - however it's highly unlikely the people watching Fox News (or other) would be putting that messages out, so who's at blame? Arguably the treasonous Republicans trying to start a civil war and mainstream media channels who are inciting themselves. In this circumstance, yes, it's predictable - but please do tell how you reach the ignorant people who will only listen to very specific sources and have primed for years, decades, to think Democrats are evil - and that the election is rigged, that is it's only rigged if their pick doesn't win.
Yes, the accident rates do vary by country and airline, with factors like how experienced (in hours) the pilots are required to be, how well-trained they are, how old the aircraft are, how well-maintained they are, whether there is a robust safety culture in which people feel they can speak up against unsafe behavior both while in the air and on the ground..
History is written by the victors. I’m sure Trump would not have been banned had he won. SV has four to eight years to cozy up to the Dem admin.
> determined by a big company (or by a standardization committee for that matter)

In practice the big companies are more in charge. Apple changed the pistol to a water gun (mentioned in the article and at [0]), and now all the big emoji sets from Google/MS/FB/Twtr/etc. also have a water gun instead of a pistol.

Apple also succeeded at preventing the rifle emoji and the Modern Pentathlon emoji (which contained a rifle) from being included, apparently with support from MS.

[0]: https://blog.emojipedia.org/apple-and-the-gun-emoji/
[1]: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jun/20/apple-rif...

It's pretty stupid how every other big tech company follows every single bad decision that Apple makes. Removing 3.5mm jack, removing pistol emoji, notches in screens, and now getting rid of chargers.

I personally do everything I can to boycott Unicode emoji. Some platforms like Slack/Discord allow for adding your own emoji which is nice. Language should not be controlled by a single entity.

I don't mean it as scapegoat- I mean it's more effective than people realize, and at a large financial cost to public companies.

These groups have been calling for putting principles over profits for years.

When they finally start doing it, it's not fair to also point to lower profits as a reason the industry might be in decline, when it's at least partially result of voluntary behavior done for appeasement.

But fracking isn't a long term investment activity. If it's actively being done, it's because it's profitable, short term and real time.

The profits just get shifted elsewhere and to other companies.
It's different because the blogosphere was all about posting blog posts whereas social media, which started out being called "microblogs", is about posting other types of material and doing other kinds of social interaction.

In essence the indieweb enables posting all of those types of content, and making all of those interactions, through ones own site, in a way that can give a user experience comparable to eg. Twitter.

It's the classic pendulum of innovation – Twitter and friends spearheaded new interactions and UX that once proven can be standardized and implemented in the open, just like the blogosphere was an open implementation of the pattern of news sites.
Clearly you haven't been here. There are plenty of areas in San Diego County that are rural and quite conservative. Despite Duncan Hunter being a literal felon, the 50th district still didn't flip this election.

That sounds like it would cause engine failure. If your engine fails at a reasonable altitude soon after takeoff, you don't suddenly nose-dive, you glide back in to land at the nearest airport as every pilot regularly trains for.
OK, no it is not. I worked as a mechanic for 6 years at an off-road shop, and I never heard of this being normal. You would need to provide some sort of citation for this being a normal phenomena.

E: the only times I have heard of glass shattering like this for enthusiast vehicles is the people who compete in audio competitions, but if you have 10k watts of subwoofers in a car then windows shattering isn't exactly spontaneous.

Sound about right. I know a former model 3 owner. The factory paint job was absolutely terrible. I mean really bad. You could see runs and patching. About two months after getting it he finally acknowledged this and it hurt. Posted a complaint about it on one of the forums and everyone jumped to Tesla’s defence and said he was making a drama out of it.

Eventually all the stupid little QC issues add up. He’s not a Tesla owner now. Bought a Citroen C5 aircross.

I like the idea a lot.

I've been thinking about something similar: An explanation/notes "wiki" for exemplary open source repository snapshots. With the goal to document everything you can see in a repo so beginners can understand and catch up with structure, conventions and understand algorithms and common problems IRL. Imperfections and errors are part of the game and need to be explained as well, and because of that infrequent snapshots are sufficient.

Something to overcome tutorial hell and lower the threshold for participation in FOSS projects.

> Just because it would have turned out good in hindsight doesn't mean it wasn't a stupid idea.

The evidence confirms the the accuracy of my predictions. It’s not empirical to brush aside evidence because it’s inconsistent with your prior. If you don’t sharply revise your prior with new evidence, it might be that your P(X | ~A) term is too large. You might be overestimating the probability that I would be right when your prior said it was a stupid idea. Instead it might be very unlikely for me to pick the best stock out of 3000 when you don’t think it’s possible for me to do that, so your idea that it’s not possible for me to do that is off. Your prior was off, and if you’re a Bayesian you now need to update your prior sharply.

My argument, expressed repeatedly to my brother over the course of 2018, was that the American stock market regularly turns up stocks that increase by an order of magnitude or two, and in a subset of cases it’s reasonably possible to spot that ahead of time.

Pop quiz: name 3 stocks that have gone up by an order of magnitude, over any time frame in history. Pretty much anyone familiar with stocks could do this. Follow-up, out of those, name one where you think you could reasonably have predicted it in time to invest. Most people will readily come up with one where, yeah, reasonably, you could tell at the time.

My strategy was based on taking these facts seriously. It was further based on the observation that it’s easier to make one good decision than five or ten. My brother’s and my situation with an inheritance, where the money was not committed, where we could afford to lose it without dying, gave us an opportunity to make one good decision and thus end all personal financial concerns forever.

> If you had invested and lost it all, how would your brother have treated you?

We discussed that contingency. If we’d invested it all and lost, my brother had a solid backup plan where he’d be okay, and I did as well. This inheritance was available to invest.

> Why blame and be angry on him?

My brother repeatedly expressed his support for this plan. I blame and am angry because he consistently expressed support for this plan through most of 2018, then failed to act in 2019 when he needed to take concrete action in support of the plan.

> And you never know if you would have sold earlier. Like all people saying "wish I bought bitcoin back then I would be so rich now!". No, you wouldn't. You would have cashed out when that $1k was $10k, not daring hold to $1M.

The stated plan was to hold to a pre-split price of 3800 or 6000, based on Elon Musk’s commitments to meet specific market cap goals laid out in his 2018 compensation package. We were prepared to hold til 2028. TSLA is now at a pre-split price of 4400, in the range of our goal price, so we’d now be trying to figure out the exact right time to sell.
Legal reforms are unlikely, but there have been some voluntary efforts.

Creative Commons used to have a "Founders' Copyright" [0] program that emulates the original U.S Copyright system. You enter a contract and delegate your copyright to CC, CC adds your work to a maintained list. After 14 years (or 28 years if renewed), CC grants permissions to allow unrestricted uses of your work by others. Tim O'Reilly was a prominent supporter, a few O'Reilly books were supposed to be published under this program [1]. Unfortunately, this program is no longer active. I'm not sure why, but I guess it was due to maintenance cost.

The new experimental Copyleft Next License [2] also includes a Sunset Clause. It's a strong copyleft license, but 20 years after the initial publication of a work, the copyleft requirements no longer apply, it automatically degenerates to a MIT-style license. I like the idea - If nobody cares about a long-obsolete version of a copylefted program, you may as well to maximize its remaining value by allowing unlimited uses (as long as new code is still being written, the copyleft of the current version remains in effect). Perhaps not good for all programs, but suitable for many.

AFAIK, a general license suitable for all works doesn't exist yet. But it should be easy to write one, for example...

It would be valid, but wouldn't Google penalize it for being poor html?
Yep, I keep a hash of the incoming number and associate that with the path. The path itself is not based on the hash, so it can't leak information that way and as a pleasant side-effect it wouldn't be hard to make customizable.

I think some kind of command over SMS is a good idea for setting settings. I guess if the settings got too complicated, maybe a command to send back a link to a settings page. But I think I'd rather not let it get too complicated.
No, but it's pretty normal to think that the people attending domestic incidents to identify whether a crime has committed and the people guarding the legislature should have different rules of engagement, training and quite possibly uniforms.

I'm the first person to argue that 'defund the police' was a terrible slogan to adopt, but that's precisely because everyone jumps to saying "but we don't actually mean have no publicly subsidised law enforcement". Even if the rafts of related reform proposals are still far too idealistic for the real world, it's not a position comparable to the Q faithful having the numbers to win primaries.
This is BS, with all due respect. Are people not allowed to express strong, lucid, and well-reasoned opinions on existentially important topics?

I don't think that's true is it? YouTube could continue to operate exactly like today EXCEPT they couldn't moderate beyond the legal minimum (no CP etc). That would mean they were still shielded as your options WITHOUT s230 are Hard Moderate (and accept liability) or Not Moderate.

I'm making an open source Chess game, mostly to learn Unity: https://github.com/herval/OpenSourceChess

I'm forcing myself to work one hour a day on it (at least two Pomodoros) no matter what, which is a nice change of pace to my day job (in management), and really adds up over time. I gave up on starting games many times in the past, because it always felt so overwhelming to start from a blank page, and I'm already starting to build up the understanding to tackle on some actually more original game next :-)
> You spent a year working on a 'project' to invest your entire inheritance in a single stock, while refusing to monitor the market itself?

This was a difficult project. After two serious runs at buying TSLA in 2018, where we got to the brink and then backed off, I made a strategic mistake. I was concerned about the risk of me overreacting to trivial events, so I restricted my intake of stock market information to reduce that risk. My mistake was, I put in too heavy of a filter.

My mistake is what created the opportunity for my brother to substantively contribute. He could have ridden to the rescue of our joint project by mentioning it to me when TSLA hit 200. I had repeatedly opined in August 2018 that it seemed possible for TSLA to fall as low as 200 before climbing to the hoped-for 3800 or 6000 in a decade. My brother saw TSLA hit 200 in May 2019, but he didn’t see fit to mention it.

> Your brother sounds like he wasn't really on board with the plan,

Yes, in hindsight, you’re right that my brother wasn’t really on board with the plan. All I can say is that he gave every indication that he _was_ on board. It appears to me that he lied in my face. This speaks to family issues that aren’t going to be of interest to HN so I’ll say no more, except to note that missed investment opportunities are a thing that can foreground classic human problems.

> which is the prudent, sensible course of action.

Bold action when opportunity presents is a component of that, in a broader view.
I don't think O_DIRECT makes any guarantees about zero-copy operation. It merely disallows kernel-level caching of that data. But the kernel may make a private copy that isn't caching.
