Given that there are 6200 National Guard members currently in DC, with 10k expected by Saturday and 15K by Inauguration day, I have a feeling that at least the DC government is more than taking it seriously.

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/01/11/pentagon-auth...

Specific state capitols are a different story, but the consensus seems to be that they are taking these events very seriously, though response if quite varied.

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2021/01/11/...

As for the future, I would assume that local officials are very concerned and likely to take seditionists and insurrectionists just as seriously as they had the Women's March previously, if not more so.
I suppose that takes "blitz" out of consideration.

I see your point, though.

Generally, I don't like the idea of componentizing a compositional concern. It's not that you have a space, you just want to express what the composition looks like. But by doing it in this way, the description is happening inline within a larger context.

Here's an analogy to illustrate what I mean: Imagine you were writing a story, but every time you wanted to mention a character, you instead had to describe how they looked, inline in the middle of the sentence. This is kinda the same thing.

> Semantically, it feels weird to me sometimes

If we're talking about semantics in the way that people used to talk about semantic web, neither the space nor the image have semantic value. The vanilla version might be:

<button class="back button">Go back home</button>

Translating that to React might look like this:

<BackButton>Go back home</BackButton>

where `BackButton` is a specialization of `LinkButton` that uses CSS to add the icon (or not, if, for example, the mobile version doesn't have the real estate for it)

The tweet says:
"The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable.

Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows.

To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... that’s the point."

This all depends on your philosophy and definition of reality. When you get into stuff as far from everyday life as electrons, our intuitive definitions don't work very well.

Most scientists, I think, use some definitions along the lines of "Reality is whatever appears in our best models/explanations of our observations of the world".

If all observations of electrons we have ever made obey some law, we say that's the real behaviour of electrons. If we find out it doesn't always work, we realize reality is something more complex, and at some point hopefully we find out what it is.

To me it's not much a stretch of the imagination that this is what they're already doing, and the time between the scheduled task triggering and setting a new one up might take that much to begin with. The whole setup feels like systems with atd scripts that often rescheduled themselves (possibly based on some condition or using intervals with some variability depending on system load or other such state).
The problem is always who decides what’s a lie and what isn’t. Fake news was a mantra for the left before Trump coopted it and started calling everything he disagreed with fake news.

> The people who stormed into the capitol believe that they were doing so as a part of a fight against fascism

This is wishful thinking. These people are deeply angry and frustrated because they think an overwhelming election win has been stolen from them. They're deeply mired in denial, and in a totally self-serving way. This is crystal clear if you look at what they actually write on their platforms.

At some point, they need to get a clue and realize that further radicalization along these lines will not be helpful to them, and that the worthwhile battle against the new "fascism" they decry should be fought elsewhere, such as by working to restore the values of constitutional, limited government and protection of fundamental freedoms.

This also means actively de-escalating and stepping back from many of their most populist and most irrational political stances - but that's only to be expected.
Heh, that quote reeks of postmodernism - reminds me of the whole Sokal affair. Good old days...
>Oh, and to call that invasion of the capitol an attempted coup is a real stretch. What were they ever going to do other than get arrested??

This reminds me of far-leftists refusing to admit that Islamist terrorism should be counted as terrorism, because, after all, what was killing a few people in an LGBT nightclub going to accomplish for ISIS?
It's awesome to be optimizing for less bias, I am just curious what news streams you draw from. Do you have a list of publishers, like NYT, WaPo, NY Post, ... and/or do you draw from YouTube, or do you tap into AP and Google News.

It would also be awesome if you could post a few examples of news you consider 'minimally biased'.

I'm a little perturbed by the disproportionate reaction of the media and online communities to the Capitol Hill raid event. Particularly in relation to the muted reactions in the mainstream media to an entire summer of riots and protests related to the death of George Floyd, under the collective banner of 'Black Lives Matter'. These protests left at least 19 dead[1], and could cost the American economy up to $2 billion in insurance claims alone[2]. Not to mention enormous damage to small businesses and local economies, or the knock-on 'Ferguson Effect'[3]. During these protests, amid calls to 'defund the police', actual anarchist groups took control of a small area in Seattle and declared it their own 'Autonomous Zone'. They then repelled law enforcement from the area and extorted local businesses for protection until they were disbanded[4]. Not once did I hear anyone in the mainstream media, nor on this site, refer to them as 'insurrectionists'. Even though they were insurrectionists by their own words. The amount of violence and property damage in the Capitol Hill raid event were paltry in comparison to the widespread looting and arson that occurred in BLM-related protests.

You're all missing the point.

How these people feel when they are committing violence in the streets, (and especially in the capitol), is no more relevant to our response than the weather being 'clear' or 'partly cloudy'.

Maybe I need to explain it another way:

Is it relevant how a BLM rioter feels when he's looting a store?

Sure, the black grandma who's at the peaceful BLM protest in the morning? How she feels is important. I definitely have a tendency to listen to that type of protester.

The armed BLM protesters that come only in the dark of night to loot and burn? No. How they feel is irrelevant to my response to them.

Same with these self proclaimed 'patriots'. The ones at unarmed peaceful protests matter. But, quick question for you: How many do you see at unarmed peaceful protests? That pretty much tells you all you need to know.

I'm only ashamed I that I had to see the Capitol fall to realize that how these violent people feel shouldn't matter.

They're not 'hiding behind it'. They believe that suppressing speech makes extremism worse in the long run.

Speech has limitations, but banning an entire social media network at the decision of tech oligarchs instead of the actual legal limits on speech is a precedent many see as escalation of the conflict. I do. This is a giant mistake that will breed resentment and do nothing but confirm to Trumpists that there is, in fact, a conspiracy against them.
True, but I was talking about the future, not January 6.
All you really need to do is to beat the trade you just saw enter the system so you can buy the trade out from under them and mark it up while their bits are still stuck in glass. You know, "provide liquidity".
Whereas I agree, it is never so easy. For example, Oregon banned many single use plastic shopping bags. They went away briefly; however, a workaround has been found by stores. They are now using much heavier plastic bags and calling them "reusable". But most people seem to just treat them like the old disposable ones. So a well intentioned, but heavy handed law has put us a step back. We are now using more plastic per bag... The market is very creative, and bans must be made carefully to avoid making a situation worse.
Your comment really could do double duty, describing the last four years, where we've been told ad nauseum "Russian Hackers" armed with Facebook ads, kept Hillary Clinton out of the Whitehouse. Essentially, stealing "her turn".

The violence is not ‘genuinely novel’. We certainly saw many instances of creative ways of violent destruction in protests by the other side in 2020.

Because insidious connections between government and big business is called "fascism", and free market people are opposed to that. Those who don't acknowledge/comprehend this issue yet are claiming to defend a "free market" are called "vulgar libertarians":

"Vulgar libertarian apologists for capitalism use the term "free market" in an equivocal sense: they seem to have trouble remembering, from one moment to the next, whether they’re defending actually existing capitalism or free market principles. So we get the standard boilerplate article arguing that the rich can’t get rich at the expense of the poor, because "that’s not how the free market works" — implicitly assuming that this is a free market. When prodded, they’ll grudgingly admit that the present system is not a free market, and that it includes a lot of state intervention on behalf of the rich. But as soon as they think they can get away with it, they go right back to defending the wealth of existing corporations on the basis of "free market principles."" -- Kevin Carson
If you want to browse the web with JS enabled, you'll be making lots of requests to Google and Facebook whether you want to or not (analytics, like/share buttons, etc). The most convenient way to stop them is to run something like a Pi-Hole so that those requests never reach Google/Facebook. An ISP offering that as a service sounds like a nice feature.

that's exactly my point. we should never allow a mob to influence our democracy; whether it is confirming a new president or a supreme court justice.

I disagree since political opinions aren’t a well-defined class or even an idea. At least with religion you can restrict it to religion federally recognized by the IRS. With political opinions, literally every conceivable declarative statement could be considered a political opinion. It’s a degenerate case.

How do Snowflake (and Redshift, mentioned above) compare with CitusDB? I really like the PostgreSQL experience offered by Citus. I've been bit by too many commercial databases where the sales brochure promises the product does X, Y, and Z, only to discover later that you can't do any of them together because reasons.
Probably because Facebook and Twitter provide maybe about an ounce of utility for every ton of pure, unfiltered garbage.
Well, Google rewarded the bug bounty, and as far as we know - didn't sue him.

> If it is raining outside, and there's someone who says "it's raining outside" and someone says "it's not raining outside", how is anyone's life improved by the idea that they should both be given air time?

Let's say for sake of argument that the people denying the weather in your metaphor are Trump supporters. TFA's thesis is that Trump (and thus his supporters) are a symptom of the media's rejection of neutrality (and indeed, the pursuit of truth). I would go farther and argue that it's not just the media but epistemological institutions in general. Presumably if someone's viewpoint isn't represented in a debate, but rather outright maligned, then that person isn't going to trust the moderator and is going to feel free to find his own moderator. If rejecting neutrality is the cause, then it stands to reason that we can cure the problem in part or in full by embracing neutrality again.

Of course, Trumpism isn't the only ideology that has prospered in this post-truth landscape, so embracing neutrality is probably a pretty threatening prospect for a lot of people.
It is an appropriate take. For years Parler was shared person to person as an alternative to Facebook, and even liberals who were upset at Facebook tried it out.
> Telling 150 million people to sit down and shut up because their party happened to lose an election

What country have we shifted to talking about, because no US party has 150 million people, and the one that recently lost a national election—if you apply the percentages from Party ID surveys to the whole US adult population–has about half that many who identify with it.

MSM, including Facebook and Twitter, empowered this monster and profited from it. This joke of a candidate was propped up and put front and centre instead of being ignored. They fed the Troll and moments before he turns to stone, they take credit for cutting him off.

The final straw for me was in 2016 when he was nominated. I deleted all social media and actively avoided US news--even then I'd hear conversations about it everywhere--even outside of the US.

Good luck America, you'll need it.
Facebook isn’t really a participant in a free market they’ve been crushing competition for years
I would agree with you with the caveat of their PS4 (console in generaly really) release. It's one thing to release something buggy and promise to fix it later... but that console release was more akin to a bait-and-switch. It was not playable and any product released that like deserves regulatory action. You can't sell something for $120 that does not work out of the box and take a "we'll fix it later" attitude.
If there is competition, one could think it's okay.
But if they are allowed, I imagine the competitors ask why they can't do that either. If they can, they'll block sites too.

Then what? Residents won't have any choice guaranteeing free access to all websites.

I don't see that working.

That wasn't the claim being made. There were two charges

1) The Phone Call
2) Obstruction of Justice

The investigative report, you know the evidence, was needed.

Your version of how this went down doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, 3 years of fake Russian collusion and peepee tapes and a waste of a special counsel, followed by months of BLM riots where over 30 people died. And a literally insurrection in the CHAZ/CHOP where they actually tried to declare separate sovereignty from the united states and annexing land...I don't really take liberals opinions that seriously.
Oh I didn't know about Morgan Stanley - that's interesting.
Not grandparent poster, but what's the other option? If somehow we could give everyone god-esque knowledge and wisdom (e.g. make them able to be able to travel through time and space and check all those claims of voter frauds so they can deduce themselves, that, well, maybe there were fraudsters here and there, but not enough that it flipped the states from Trump to Biden; or to show them that no, there's no basement in some pizza parlor where the Democrat cabal are hiding Epstein and all the missing children), it would be great to be able to make the insurrectionists realize that they've been lied to.

A lot of the mob on 1/6 probably really thought they were taking back the country from some corrupt Deep State and that Trump was this great guy who tried to fix the world, but has ben thwarted (although, saying all the non-Christian and non-Whites are not entitled to live here is not defensible). Like the lady who was shot, if you check her Twitter, she really bought into the whole QAnon brainwashing.
> I'm just showing an example where a Presidential candidate

No that is not the right example, do you have proof that Biden call the violent protestors that they are special and that he loves them like Trump?
The freedom of individuals is more important than the freedom of corporations.
