"education, it shifts people to the left, as analytical thinking starts undoing idealism."

True; college students are noted for their lack of idealism.

Conversely right leaning occupations such as veterans, oil rig workers and farmers always have their head in the clouds with high minded idealistic notions that don't work in the real world.
> Saving grace is most are probably too stupid to read hacker news.

I wouldn’t make this assumption. I have seen plenty of modern conservative opinion around here, and some of it really does align with ideas of white male supremacy and support for fascist authoritarian leadership. It’s easier to find on “new” on posts that aren’t strictly technology related. They are definitely here.

Of course, people are entitled to their opinions. 99.9% of normal liberal or conservative Americans aren’t going to get violent or take part in an insurrection. Nothing wrong with a having and expressing opinions.

But to me, the concern here isn’t even what happened a few days ago at the Capitol. My concern is the mass radicalization of the right wing of politics, and therefore people, in America. This radicalization is mainstream because the media outlets pushing the ideas are themselves mainstream, more mainstream than you think.

E.g. my family members, who are not deep down anything truly radical like the Q rabbit hole, but still believe it’s okay for Trump to be “joking” about 12 more years, running contrary to elementary school civics lessons that were supposed to be universal common ground. They got these ideas from America’s number one cable news channel, not some obscure Internet forum.
Nope.

Definitely not buying that was the original population mentioned: it doesn't follow your original claim and it doesn't follow your reply.

> All of the major social media companies blocked a significant portion of the population because of the attempted subversion of democracy in the country.

Parler users are not a significant portion of the population.

They were not blocked by "all social media companies", their app was removed from an app store.

If you're trying to implicate the people who were using Parler... again small population and the over lap between banned from social media and using Parler is far away from a "significant portion of the population". And many are of a certain political leaning, they are not representative of that population.

This while comment chain was built on an event "banning a significant portion of the population population" that doesn't exist. End of story.

I'm not interested in discussing doomsaying based on made up events.

Nothing said in this thread is a novel thing, it's the same tired what-ifs that ignore the "what-happened". When your argument doesn't even stand without leaning on made up events and slipper slopes, it's not worth much.
Well I was running it on a 2GB VPS, I have since November switched to a 4GB VPS, no issues since then but it's still early days. I haven't benchmarked either VPS, the 2GB I had a single dedicated CPU core, some 3.5+ghz xenon. I didn't check what my cpu allotment was on the new VPS, it was a $65 a year black friday thing. Moderation is not an issue, I only have 5 users other than myself.

At least on this climate policy simulator built by MIT, planting trees is indeed not a big winner for achieving climate goals. And actually, neither is limiting deforestation. (But we should do those things for other great reasons like preserving and restoring habitat.) This simulator doesn't address wetlands specifically, unfortunately.

If you really want to see what gets emissions down, move the carbon price slider.

According to tons of leading economists, we can make a steadily rising fee on carbon emissions economically sustainable and politically viable by returning the net revenue from the fee to households as carbon dividends.

Just dump $X/month into that blended target retirement index/mutual fund. It's not perfect, but it will give you reasonable exposure to a broad class of assets and will make you rich slowly while you focus on your life and career.

Ethereum ‘Might Well Go to $20k This Cycle’, Says Former Goldman Sachs Exec
I'm not the fittest guy around, but I do include some exercise in my daily routine. When it is warm outside, I go on a 2-3 mile walk every day, often carrying a 30 pound backpack. On cold days, I find a TV show to stream, and just run in place and do calisthenics while watching.

Typically, I do this first thing in the morning as soon as I roll out of bed, so nothing has a chance to sidetrack me from getting it done.

To be honest I think alot of my frustration was with the OpenCV build scripts rather than Cmake itself, but I don't love Cmake either.
from the readme :

> The developers of the project are keen “Rustaceans” with a desire to give back to the Rust community and to learn what GCC is capable of when it comes to a modern language.

So what's the answer right now ? How does GCC measures "against" rust ?
The problem with no moderation and NOT deleting obvious misinformation and fake news is that social media platforms would then be overrun by bot accounts. Because of the strong capabilities of automation on the Internet, protecting free speech on the Internet does not have a clear solution. What is clear is that deleting obvious misinformation such as this tweet is in the public interest.

I did not create a throwaway to troll, but for safety. People have tried to harass me out of my job for being a conservative (not Trumper) before.

> I find it mind numbing that the same people that want to live on Parler because "freedom" simultaneously think a private company shouldn't have the freedom to choose who they do or don't want as a customer. Meanwhile gay people can't buy a wedding cake and that's A-OK because freedom.

There's plenty of hypocrisy here, I agree -- but the real issue is scale. Just a handful of companies in SV control the free flow of information, globally, and they're using that to suppress a group of people.

I'm not saying we should overturn their property rights, but that I disagree with them from a moral standpoint.
People are migrating en masse from WhatsApp to Signal and Telegram. I am pretty sure it's ruffling some feathers considering the vocal people defending and promoting Matrix and federation in every Signal thread and considering this informal poll: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25669864

Last I read speculations were that Signal had something like 10 millions users/downloads and Matrix 25 millions users (take that with a boulder of salt).
Considering the substantial and increasing government/military usage of Matrix, I don't think this is a realistic scenario, but I guess only time can tell.
I think I'm agreeing with you, at least in that I think our fundamental problem in many cases is precisely that we're already not operating in a free market; I would abhor regulation on ISPs if they were actually competitive, but when they operate as monopolies or duopolies I'm not nearly so opposed.

Should there be such rooms (that still fall short of being removed for "abuse") you're not forced to join them. No different than you not joining Google Hangouts full of people you'd rather not talk to.

Chat systems like IRC/Element don't force you to join and speak with anyone you don't want to unlike social media sites which try to have literally everyone in the same pool.

If your standard is "people I don't like are able to use this service" you will find no service that will have 0% of said people.

Sorry, there is always fake news in the world until we have a journalism uprising and awakening.

Man half the task of using Yelp is looking at the reviews and deciding which ones are legit and which are either a 5-star review that was paid for, or a 1-star review by some tourist who is annoyed that their feet were not immediately kissed upon walking through the door, and that they were served an authentic example of the local cuisine instead of the bastardized version from a chain restaurant in there Homeland Of No Spices.

Which I guess probably goes back into the thesis that "the platform is the enemy" in some ways but geez, people just stop at the star ratings on Yelp and don't go any further before eating?
A guide to running IRIX 6.5.22 in MAME
There's a guy, PlanB (with the bitcoin B) who created a formula for estimtaing Bitcoin's price based on its emission, by correlating it with the price of other assets (mostly gold), called stock to flow. Here's a chart for it: https://www.lookintobitcoin.com/charts/stock-to-flow-model/

As a TL;DR, the price should stabilize around $100k after the current bullrun.
I looked at this earlier in the year, and my personal view at the time was that actually other electric cars were a bit cheaper but you get a lot less car.

The price difference just isn’t that big in relative terms (the starting prices are all relatively high), but the difference in what you get is huge. And I think that’s part of the allure of Tesla - can a 2010-era-supercar be built for $25k? What about less?

I ended up getting a 2nd hand diesel BMW because I got the feeling that the market would move a lot in the next 5 years.

I'm not sure if what I'm asking makes sense, but since it's written for a new backend, would the authors have to bootstrap it using a different toolchain? I guess what I'm asking is, could they use the LLVM Rust to build the GCC frontend or do they have to start all over with a different base language to get a first working version of a rust compiler?

Places That Don't Matter Fueled Populism (2018)
Not sure where your source comes from, but the term came into popular use in the year 1947.

It was most likely first used after Kenneth Arnold's famous report where he described a "saucer-like" shape. That story blew up, and people started reporting "flying saucers" everywhere.

It even got into the heads of some government officials. For example, the initial press release given by the airforce for the Roswell incident was that they had captured a "flying disc". They later made a correction that it was a weather balloon, but you can see how the government making such statements would cause confusion and add to the mania.

On the Wikipedia page for the incident you can see the original news articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roswell_UFO_incident

It then takes a step in the wrong direction by presenting the hypothesis as a scientific conclusion. Everyone has a hypothesis. Having a hypothesis doesn't make it special or science based. Every anecdote driven article is presenting a hypothesis, and an awful lot of them Couch their anecdotes in potential scientific explanations to sound more credible. Theres not a need to do "more" science - there's a need to do basically any science. I'll grant that the societal context means that someone has to do more work and then present their findings in an equally engaging way (with the necessary anecdotes etc), but science based?
I'm arguing that freedom of association is a non-starter as an argument from the modern American left.

We carefully select and use PaaS and managed cloud services to construct our infrastructure with. This allows us to maximize our focus on what our customers are paying for: creating software for them which will typically be in use for 5+ years.
We spend close to zero time on infrastructure maintenance and management, we pay others to do this for us, cheaper and more reliable. Having to swap out one service for another hasn't given us any trouble or unreasonable costs yet in the past 5 years.
Unlike the article is trying to convince us of, it has massively reduced complexity for us.
This also claims that the more restrictive measures actually increased the spread:

In none of the 8 countries and in none out of the 16 comparisons (against Sweden or South Korea) were the effects of mrNPIs significantly negative (beneficial). The point estimates were positive (point in the direction of mrNPIs resulting in increased daily growth in cases) in 12 out of 16 comparisons (significantly positive in 3 of the 12, in Spain and in England compared with Sweden). The only country where the point estimates of the effects of mrNPIs were negative in both comparisons was Iran (-0.07 [95CI -0.21 - 0.07] compared with Sweden; -0.02 [95CI -0.28 - 0.25] compared with South Korea).

I had zero knowledge of what any of this was (Sia, Skynet, etc), tried looking it up on the page but the technical terms were too many and there was no glossary I could find. So I started searching, read the Readme on Sia's project on Gitlab, and then came upon this website [1] which harshly demonizes both Sia and Skynet due to maintainers banning a critic, and allegedly being generally toxic.

This is very much not a good look at all for the whole thing, and I suggest the developers should both solve this problem amicably ASAP, and also add very clear 'WHAT THIS IS AND HOW IT WORKS' links on every page related to the project, with many real world examples of how/why use this and with nearly no use of specific jargon that's not introduced clearly during explanations.

I'm looking for the plant tree apache module.
I tried the iOS client yesterday but could not log in (to a well-known third-party server) and the app just did not work at all. The error stayed on the login screen no matter what I tried, and it did not offer any debug info or help, and I just couldn't get past it.

I've been developing software for 20 years so I know something about buggy software and different stages of completeness so I usually give open source projects more slack but after 30 minutes I just gave up and uninstalled the app.

I really hope these kind of projects get more funding and wind behind them to get a bit more mature so there would be serious alternatives for the likes of Whatsapp.

why does federation not work for the average person?
how would they know the difference?

what does cause friction is if clients expect the users to enter their own server details beyond their email address.

i find that very annoying in irc clients for example, where i have to know the details for the network to connect to. jabber/xmpp clients generally did a bit better. and i don't know how well matrix is doing it. but making this easy for the user is a matter of interface design.

there is nothing inherent in federation that makes this hard for users. the only thing is having to choose a server. but for my family for example i would choose the same server as myself, and i'd want to send them a link to sign up. that link could then provide a way to open the messaging client with proper settings in place.

if it is more complicated now, then that's a problem, but one that can be fixed
