> A coup attempt includes illegal and overt attempts by the military or other elites within the state apparatus to unseat the sitting executive.

That’s a rather incomplete definition:

—quote—

Threats to democracy involve officeholders’ abuse of the official powers given to—
them within a democracy through the unconstitutional extension of those powers
either temporally or substantively. This abuse is most dramatic in a coup d’état. The
traditional coup occurs when one part of the state attempts to take over other organs
of the state using force or the threat of force. Because the military represents that
part of the state meant to control a monopoly of force,3 the military is the most
frequent – but not the only – culprit. Other kinds of coups could occur if a head of
government uses unconstitutional means to dismiss judges who deliver unwelcome
judgments (what Dr. Mort Halperin calls an “auto-coup”), or to get rid of an
“uncontrollable” legislature in order to rule by decree instead (another form of autocoup). A distinct but functionally similar threat is of the erosion of democracy, where
officials abuse their constitutional powers to take over gradually the powers of other
institutions, as in Zimbabwe.

> There are two key components of this definition. The first is that it is illegal. […] But an even more critical aspect of Powell and Thyne’s definition is that it requires the involvement of elites

And the attack on the Capitol was both illegal violence and with the involvement of elites, who egged it on because they sought to benefit from it, so what’s your point?
It's more like a password reset. When setting up your account, you can specify 5 friends to act as guardians.

If you ever forget your password (key), you generate a new secret key and you get 3 of the 5 friends to sign it. The new key then replaces your old key.
Wrong analogy. If someone got up to speak in Times Square, incited violence, and was charged with sedition, then the owner of Times Square is not going to be named in any charges.

> The experience isn't as smooth as Windows

What is smooth in Windows 10?

The GUI is a chaos in every conceivable way. Have you used it in mixed-dpi fractional scaling setting lately? Even the builtin software is plagued with legacy apps that are unable to scale well and are aesthetically alien to the modern platform. Font sizes range from ridiculously small (file explorer) to ridiculously large (Edge location bar) and there is no font scaling factor that fits them all... that is when they even honor it. Most third-party apps look ancient. Installers are often blurry and unreadable. All Qt 5.x apps show scaling problems also, this is acknowledged as an important issue in Qt bug tracker. The task view (Win-Tab) has many visual glitches: it often flickers and reaccommodates itself after the initial rendering, it's not even smooth.

Some of these problems are often attributed to their compromise to maintain backwards compatibility. Well, it's just the oposite, they are mostly the result of the schism they themselves created with Windows 8 and UWP (that not even Microsoft uses for their important apps). Now they are trying to fix it with XAML Islands, WinUI 3, Project Reunion and whatnot, they throw so many names that nobody really knows what is the platform they are developing to.

There is nothing smooth in Windows 10. There are some great ideas and implementations lost in a rage of hubris and incompetence that started ten years ago and it's yet to see how much damage control they manage to do now.
Genocide doesn't necessarily mean slaughter - the primary method I've heard used is medically preventing women from having children, which then kills off future generations. Genocide also, by definition, relates to killing off a culture - which there's plenty of proof for regarding the CCP's "re-education" camps - where children taken from their parents. And honestly it'd not be hard to hide disposal of human remains, even en mass in systematic way. There are plenty of reports and claims if organ harvesting as well. That your asking these questions makes me think you've not done much research or watched any documentaries on the CCP.
If even you yourself are at the very least implying that you might support the violence, then really it should not be surprising or an out there claim that other people at the riots also supported the violence, is the point.

Feels like a weird thing to push back on. You kinda admit that you personally might support the violence. If even you admit this, then really you should not be pushing back hard on this assumption that other people also supported it.

It should not be an out there claim, that other people supported the violence, when you are kinda implying that you support it yourself.

I just don't think that you should act flabergasted, or surprised, or indignant, or demand large amounts of specific evidence, at someone making a claim that other people supported or wanted violence to happen, given that you kinda are saying that you support it yourself.

> The context we're in is advocation for violence prior to the events

"Nobody advocated for violence before it happened, but now that it did happen I definitely think that the violence is justified!" feels like a pretty poor argument to me.

If you are going to imply that the violence was justified, then really you should not push back on this idea that other people thought it was justified to, and endorsed it prior to the event.
Some of these seem quite strange, probably because I don’t have the right background to infer the proper context. For example, chapter 69:

> Care must be taken that no monk presume on any ground to defend another monk in the monastery, or as it were to take him under his protection, even though they be united by some tie of blood-relationship. Let not the monks dare to do this in any way whatsoever, because it may give rise to most serious scandals. But if anyone breaks this rule, let him be severely punished.

Not enough RAM. 640kB is actually enough for anyone as far as scalar variables in a single app are concerned so that’s what these small single task microcontrollers have.

Stop and take a second to listen to yourself. Is there an acceptable numbers of guns, bombs, and zip ties that are intended to be used on the leaders of this country?

A policeman who doesn't fine anybody is merely incompetent. A policeman who fines only black people is downright evil. You cannot say that his actions amount to "not going far enough" because he fails to fine people of other races. They are actively discriminatory.

The same situation happens with twitter, that only enforces its rules when they go against the mainstream USA mentality.

Twitter’s moderation is so permissive that the only thing left outside is going to be toxic.

Riots are generally illegal by definition. If Trump asking people to go home and respect police officers is your idea of elite involvement, we've reached an impasse.

Take care.
A pile of propagandist bullshit. Of course outlets like Vox and Guardian hate Israel and call it "racist" all the time. It's a bunch of lies, naturally. One is about official language (there's no "right" of anyone to have their language as official, it's a majority decision and majority in Israel speaks Hebrew - as BTW do all Arabic citizens, who learn it at school and can speak and read it just fine, so nobody is dicriminated about anything), another is whining about Jews living on a land as if it was some sort of crime, third one somehow makes low turnout in Arab neighborhoods into an evidence (without a shred of proof) of somehow discrimination. And it's not like it's 5% turnout - it's 49.1%. In 2015 it was 63%. so I imagine, depending on the cycle and attractiveness of the candidate, it moves between 50 and 65%. US turnout in 2016 was 60%. And I am supposed to take this as an evidence of "marginalization"? That's really scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Taking a usual electoral ebb and flow and presenting it as some kind of rampant racism. Of course, that's exactly what haters of Israel always are and will be doing. And this is demonstrating my case perfectly - this is what you are basing your claim that the whole state of Israel (including the very same Arabs that you pretend to care about of course) should be removed from internet on the basis of that Arab participation in recent election slightly dropped and they lost some votes. This shows very prominently how extensive your censorship ambitions are.
It is an FPGA; it can run synchronous logic operations. This could include something like the encapsulation of an entire gate and circuit accurate simulation of an entire system of processors, memories, and interfaces, like say, a Super Nintendo (see MiSTer for more of this). This is a very different domain than a raspberry pi, and while the chip here lacks the resources to run something like MiSTer it will likely be used to run something like a microcontroller SoC with customizable peripherals. The $25 price point for everything and the kitchen sink is just right. The comparison to Arduino is much more apt than to the Pi.

It cannot be emphasized enough how much the recent USB specifications are dropping the ball. I wouldn't mind paying a small premium just for a guarantee that things will Just Work when I connect them.

Instead, USB device manufacturers want to cost optimize everything, which probably forced the standard to become so Byzantine. Understandable from a manufacturer's point of view, but terrible from an end user perspective.
Just so everyone knows, this is the type of stuff that aired of Foxnews days before the riot:

A rallying call like that simply doesn’t work on Democrats, but god does it work on Republicans. I just don’t see any of this dying down at all, and the Republicans are always prepared to tap into this demo around election time (in two years time at the mid terms). They live for this.

Banning them just validated their world view. This is all going to get even bigger now, and they will head into the catacombs.
Why don't you try ensuring that everybody votes? Seems to work for Australia. You end up with politicians who are interested in appealing to the broadest range of voters rather than trying to make it difficult for the people who would vote against them to vote.

If you think people are too stupid to vote, then you're not trying hard enough to ensure that they have the issues explained to them.

How easy is it to go from "you don't understand civics" so you can't vote, to "you have the wrong religion" or "you have the wrong skin colour" you can't vote.
This is very interesting. I would love to understand how cryptocurrency and blockchain will continue to evolve. I did not realize that there are efforts to put them in space, outside of the "big guys" jurisdiction. What is a Space Law? Is it similar to the Maritime Law?

Also from the original article:

"On November 5, 2020, Twitter permanently suspended Bannon after he called for Dr Anthony Fauci to be beheaded in an episode."

It's good they finally pulled the trigger, but considering that Steven Bannon has been constantly putting oil to the fire on every single channel available, that point was very certainly much earlier.
I'm one of those people who has always loathed both liberals and conservatives, but the attack on the capitol went way too far. You guys want to march around and yell in the streets, I actually don't have a problem with it. I find it annoying, but as long as you're not killing anyone, I don't care. However, you want to go into congress and subvert the Constitutional order? Yeah, that's a whole different issue.

I'm sorry if the conservatives can't understand the difference between BLM people yelling in the streets, and Trump people searching the capitol for senators and representatives to stop a Constitutionally mandated vote count. (Actually that was a lie, I'm not sorry. I don't give a mosquito's dick about either of you. I was just trying to be nice.) I'm done trying to explain the difference to these people, and I think these terrorists have pushed a lot of people off the fence with me. People are fed up. You don't understand the difference? You think too much of it's unjustified? Too bad. This is the way it's gotta be. We're not going to live in anarchy because conservatives and liberals want to play out crips and bloods on our republic.

End rant.

I'm not asking for examples of people saying what the protestors did was okay. I agree that there's lots of that. I'm asking for examples of the violence being planned or premeditated. Those are two different things. The "line" appears to be in between those two things, and people (like you!) appear to be equivocating between them when they aren't the same.

> support it yourself.

My (hypothetical!) lack of objection to generic violence is not the same as active planning and encouragement of specific violence. And I find your repeated attempts to equivocate between the two rather confused.

I'm asking for examples of the second, the active specific planning and incitement of violence. You're avoiding engaging with that request, likely because, as I believe, you can't find examples of that kind of behavior.
If you think about it it is even worse. For UX the file picker should be the same software as the OS file browser, not a rewrite. So staying in the example, he actually has two additional functioning toilets on the other levels, but unfortunately the room where they are in does not have a door but 4 solid brick walls.
I had a similar experience years ago. It was not Jira but bugzilla, but you can use it in the same way (I told you it was years ago ;)).

Any engineer could open any ticket for another engineer or team. You could also set the priority to how urgent it was. The receiving engineer could adjust the priority according to their own work of course.

Basically all work that you do was in the tracker. You could even add things for yourself, so you had a central place for your or anyones todo list.

Best work environment I ever worked as a software developer. There was never something blocking that some manager had to resolve, because you would just open a ticket an assign it to the person or team you think is relevant. All discussion was done in the ticket.
> Forgiveness, karma

Oh, I seldom give myself the permission to “well, actually” on the subject of karma. But here we are.

Karma is widely understood in cultures that don’t have a prominent internal representation of it to mean something on the range of “you get what you deserve” to “you get what you put into the world”. But it doesn’t.

Karma means “deed”. As in, any action performed. Its philosophical role is that any action is a cause and has effects. When applied religiously, the idea is not that one’s actions and consequences are correlated, and not that one can use good deeds to cancel bad.

The idea is that one’s actions have an effect on the world. Sometimes bad actions have negative consequences for the actor. Sometimes the bad actor learns from those consequences. Sometimes other people feel the consequences. Sometimes the bad actor learns anyway. Sometimes [all of the above substituting “good” for “bad”]. Sometimes actions are complicated and have unpredictable effects.

The reason karma is philosophically important isn’t to control behavior but to provide a lens to reflect on it.
Not everyone in the mob was out for blood, but the mob as a collective group was. The mob killed a police officer. Anyone who was part of the mob is partly to blame for that.

No one can take part in a group action and then claim they're not responsible for what the group has done. When people act as a group they have to accept responsibility for the group's actions.
True. I made it an exception because I consider checking HN as part of my work. I still need to be well informed with the trends and current technology events because it's part of my job.
I'm confused about what you're talking about.

The Mueller Report didn't "find nothing." If you're unaware of this, you can read about it here: https://www.commoncause.org/resource/read-the-mueller-report...

It only didn't end in legal action against Trump because of the procedural issues related to bringing charges against a sitting president. Barr made that decision, and chose to protect Trump.

Your video (apparently) shows a CNN producer who apparently believed the story was "fake", but that's not consistent with the actual facts we know.
No, there isn't. But there is also no reason to assume that a protestor with no gun, bomb or ziptie is equivalent to one that has one.

Lone wolves and troublemakers out to get Congresspeople exist. There might be a few in the mob. But the mob itself isn't made up of people like that. This is the same logic that was being applied to protestors all through 2020. It is hard to get away from the BLM protests being peaceful even with burning buildings in the background.
