You don't really need a full blown retro computer for all that. There are plenty of "modern" (as in "in production and in use") 8 bit embedded CPUs out there.

Arduino/atmega comes to my mind, just ditch the IDE. Instead program assembly and assemble + program the board using their toolchain. Of course, at first the analog part (CRT, old keyboard) will be missing, but these are not needed to write your own little kernel. However, I did a quick search, and it seems the Arduino can interface with a VGA display: On the hardware side of things this only needs some resistors, and software side could be deemed as an interesting exercise ;-)

I cannot believe that this isn't the foundation of autonomous driving: long hauls, highways, no stop signs, semi-controlled circumstances. The economics are more clear and industrialized.

Even if a driver had to be present when they got off the highway, I think 'long haul' should be naturally the first thing to be tackled.

And I'm surprised Walmart isn't leading the way, they should be.

I agree that cis women and trans women (and trans men!) have distinct problems but I've never heard of the concept of "female erasure" outside of people claiming that it exists (usually accompanied by other opinions that are definitely transphobic). Trans people are usually very mindful of the differences between them and cis people of their gender, sometimes so much that it causes them self-doubt.

They did, if you recognize that they're playing the exact same game as Warner.

If Warner's office wanted to most rapidly and effectively ensure records are preserved by Gab, what would he have done? How many steps are there on the spectrum between (e.g.) contacting the capitol police to ensure that they have/will send such a request, and writing an open letter from a senator?

If gab were to respond to the body of Warner's letter, rather than play the game, it would say "Dear Senator: If you think there is any chance we didn't already get this request two days before you got around to sending your letter, you should focus the power of your office on fixing your federal law enforcement agencies."
"We shouldn't" is a very strong statement. If solar and wind are 15% of the cost of a nuclear plant then what's the worry? We just build 5x as much as we need (with the obvious benefit that most of the time we have virtually limitless energy.)

The problems with solar and wind can be solved with scale and storage. Nuclear has a number of problems which require technology that doesn't exist at an economical price.
Really? So people are supposed to plug their phones and laptop to public USB outlets with full USB cables? Given how many USB security vulns there are, I'm glad I can use a power-only cable when plugging to a third-party USB plug even if the USB standard think these cables should not exist…

But what happens in three years when a new electoral campaign starts? How wary will these companies be of the chance of a new republican president? How much of their power will they use to prevent such a possibility from happening?

"Contrary to what people might think, 2020 has not been a good year for bike dealers, especially small ones. "

Well, that depends on who you ask.

Several local stores here saw it coming, and places enormous orders with their distributors when there was still inventory. My local did WELL -- they were aggressive and basically maxed their credit buying bikes from $400 to about $1200 (ie the sweet spot for casual riders), and sold every single one they could get their hands on.

They're now the go-to joint in inner Houston for e-bikes, too.

So there was a play to be made, and a way to surf this thing, but I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that this shop in particular was one of the few to really do it right.

Do you really think Hyundai is going to use this tech for humanitarian aid, or are you just fishing here?

I want a strong US to counter the fact that the number one economy in the world is a fascist state. A state with more engineers than us and that can quickly duplicate our tech sector.

I'm happy that it's our ally buying this tech, but the US needs to be building more of this technology, not less. If we let our lead be in technology like stupid chat apps, that's a frivolous market with no moat.
I dunno.

BLM may claim not to be responsible for the horrendous roiots and crime that has been committed in its name across America.

Trump may claim that he is not responsible for the tiny (in proportion) riots that happened in DC.

(IMO, they are both responsible, thus making BLM the one with more blood on its hands. But nobody asked me.)

BLM may claim that it is in their rights to fight law and order if it causes harm to individuals.

Trump may claim it is in his right to complain about law and order when (in his opinion) it was not lawful.

(IMO, this is a finer line. He certainly can legally complain. Riots are over the line for either right or left)

Stripe processes payments for BLM, and Twitter allows their posts, etc. So IMO the line they walk is fine and biased.
There are 3.5 million truck drivers in the US.

What are 3.5 million people going to do if they're suddenly out of a job and have to change career completely?

I am far from being a Trump supporter, but it would be easy for authoritarian politicians to ride to the White House on the grievances of millions of voters who had their livelihoods taken away from them by automation. Trump's promises to bring back manufacturing jobs were fueled by the automation and outsourcing that have already eliminated millions of positions. So Trump's victory in 2016 was already due in part to a backlash against automation.

No society where an average person - of average intelligence, average skills, average potential - cannot make a good living for themselves, can survive as a civilized society.

We can't all be developers, engineers, or doctors.

The Fracturing of the Human Mind
If someone believes in the principle of "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" they will naturally find themselves defending some pretty odious speech - and gaining the support of people who believe pretty odious things.

After all, a free speech advocate and a neo-nazi would both support the publication of Mein Kampf - but the former might well want to be clear they're not the latter. (and of course, to complicate the situation further, the latter may want to disguise themselves as the former)

As to why you see so many posters affirming they don't support Trump - that's because HN readers aren't Trump's target demographics: Trump only got 12% of the vote in San Francisco in 2020. IMHO it's believable that on HN, free speech advocates simply outnumber Trump supporters.

This is a badly reasoned and well articulated piece that seeks a presupposed conclusion. This becomes painfully obviously when he realizes that the “blue tribe” he defines is actually engaged in a massive quantity of self-critical behavior, and then twists himself around to try to make it fit into his system. It’s far more likely that this indicates a flawed hypothesis, or at least highly incomplete and naive theory.
Christ I hate the word 'overwhelm'. It's SO jarring. It's like when people say "I'm feeling melancholy". NO! You're feeling melancholic! You did something "on purpose" and not "purposely"! And the world is not full of overwhelm. It's full of emotional overload[1] perhaps.

There's two ways to react if an API you're using for authentication type stuff is down:

* Fail and essentially have downtime on the features using the API

* Succeed and essentially have no authentication for that time but no downtime

Parler took the second approach. Platforms that value security would take the first approach.
Interesting explanation at the end of the bug report:

The slowness is only caused by the GIO's G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_CONTENT_TYPE and g_file_info_get_content_type. Wherever they are used, there will be a slowdown because the contents of files, that lack extensions, should be read for finding their mimetypes. Almost all the time is taken by that; the other operations are done pretty fast — particularly, the Qt GUI takes no time in comparison.

FYI an alternative is you can get tiny GPS trackers about the size of the top of your thumb for about the same price as the various Bluetooth LE options (about 20 Euros on Alibaba. Stick a SIM in them and put it on the bike, underneath the seat hidden etc and they are pretty decent, can last up to two weeks without recharging. Plus they are more likely to work and much much easier to track down your bike as you can use various apps to track in real time.
If they were, they could still sell them off immediately.
> Solar averages ~10W/m^2 long term (days/weeks)

That figure surprises me. What I’ve heard before is that full sun is roughly 1kW/m², and that over time you should expect to get 4–5 useful hours (depending on latitude and weather conditions of where you are—some will be outside this range on either side), so if you take 21% efficient solar panels, the total would be 1000 (watts) × 4 (hours) / 24 (hours) × 0.21 (efficiency) = 35W.

10W is a lot less than 35W. I presume I have some incorrect assumption or am overlooking something.

(I’m interested in this because I’m planning to build a velomobile and live out of it while going round Australia for a year. Power systems are something I’ve been putting a fair bit of theoretical research into, but I have no practical experience whatsoever. I’ve been planning to build solar panelling into the body.)
There's probably a gap in the market for bike shops in Denmark (and the Netherlands too). Everyone here already owns at least one bicycle, so there was no need to purchase another. The shops still have plenty of stock, and a quick look a the website shows 10-15% "January" discounts.

However, none of the four online shops I tried deliver outside Denmark.

Yep, there are no good choices here. Parler is an organizing venue for Trump supporters attempting to overturn a democratic election and/or storm the capitol, which also has a rather anti-democratic feel to it, no? So you can think of it as a trolley problem with "democracy" strapped to both sets of tracks. Since democracy will be a casualty, to one extent or another, in both the "do nothing" and "do something" options, the service providers must ask themselves: which scenario will hurt democracy worse?

> This is why Free desktop operating systems are a joke and haven’t been popularly adopted.

I'm at least somewhat with the author in general, but this is a case of "grass is always greener" syndrome. I made a full switch to Linux from Windows in no small part because of issues just like this, I got tired of OneNote completely breaking on my Surface. Even on much more polished operating systems -- Mac's window snapping is still inexplicably awful for, as far as I can tell, no reason at all except that Apple refuses to copy the simple model that both Windows and Gnome adopted. We tolerate it. I purchased a 3rd-party program to replicate the functionality, and it sometimes works.

A more drastic example, my proprietary router won't let me set a custom DNS server at the router level. It has an option to do so, but it doesn't do anything, and this is an open bug that people complained about for years that was just... ignored. And eventually they pushed a fix for it that broke everyone's routers and required manual rollback.

If something isn't a showstopper, sometimes it just gets ignored in general. Has nothing to do with whether or not it's free software, and everything to do with whether or not somebody somewhere cares enough to fix it.

How do you grant a company access to your data but prevent them from storing it? And how does it apply to data a company generates about me? For example, if I listen to songs on Spotify, are they supposed to somehow not store it, but still give me recommendations?
I'm always puzzled by people who see this as somehow a good thing.

If the Rust compiler can figure out what the type should be, why doesn't it just do the cross-function inference, and leave the complicated nested implications which only obscure the intent and effect out of it?

If having the programmer specify types is an important check on the correctness of the code that is written, how is blindly copying, without understanding some 60+ character type specification string from an error message going to help demonstrate correctness? All it does is make two sections "consistent". It isn't something the programmer understands or specifies as a type check.

These companies are not "discriminating" against any particular political view. Calls for political violence and extremism/terrorism have and continue to be moderated on these platforms from both sides.

It is unfortunate that you don't understand the distinction between inciting violence via either direct calls for such or indirectly by repeating the same unfounded lies of "a stolen election" VS political speech/civil rights, which have not been abrogated (there are plenty of conservative commentators on Twitter, some of whom I follow).

As for my background, I am an immigrant from a post-communist Eastern European country, live in the US in the South and finished with political science and journalism degrees. Can assure you my appreciation of civil rights is intact.

As a general rule, even when situations like this occur, I lean on the side of caution, so I understand the slippery slope argument you're making. There will continue to be a national discussion about what the limits are in the still-uncharted world of social media and the limits of expression vs. platform and publisher rights, but your alarmist view is, IMO, over the top.
The lack of police amd national guard response to the Capitol siege is a direct result of the media coverage of the BLM protests- both the mayor and security officials didn't want to look bad, or make matters worse.

It is worth pointing out that, prior to this, right wing protests have actually been very peaceful. Protesting tax rates really isnt enough to rile up the radical elements. "Stop the Steal" apparently was, and definitely caught them flat footed.

As another outsider, I get the impression US conservatives are selective about the groups they consider worthy of those rights and freedoms. They oppose women's choice to abort.

These legal guidelines allow hate speech. Period.

You brought up the Principles but refused to clarify where they ban hate speech, did you read them?

Because they don't ban hate speech or racism...

One is anti-illegal activity (hate speech is not covered here)

One is anti-spam. Hate speech is not covered here.

I didn't make up any quotes, I didn't omit anything that supported your point, if anything the principles I omitted solidify my point...

They have principles as an addendum.

Those are a chance to clarify that while they are pro-free speech by default they reserve certain rights. And yet they refused to call out legal things like racism and hate speech...

You're literally making my case for me.
