the ethical double standard you are creating exists in your mind and in your mind only. when people see violence excused and ignored for months on end, it becomes legitimized as a tactic in their playbook as well. this is the current sickness in our discourse that we have to reckon with and trying to play 'most righteous cause' is the furthest thing from a solution.
She was talking about BLM protests, whose goal was not violence:

Sadly I've not read those.

I thought the Metaverse and Librarian were interesting takes on the 'web that never was', although I thought the capabilities and limitations of the Librarian seemed a bit inconsistent and arbitrary. It was meant to be a sort of glorified search system with a VR interface, lacking the ability to deeply analyse and reason about subject matter in its database, but it seemed to me that it was essentially a matter of luck whether the Librarian could answer Hiro's various questions.

Typically the crash investigation folks are open to considering every angle. Reputable airworthiness investigation programs will conduct a root cause analysis and compile a comprehensive report that can take months, sometimes even years.

Until more evidence and/or debris is found it's pointless to speculate as to the cause.

It seems that face recognition could be as dangerous as country laws are. China's social credit system is a strong mirror to its government. The Black Mirror scenario with all those people scared to even talk publicly could (if once real) be strongly country specific, if we get to the point, where life drastically depend on ethics of technology laws.

Did I say anywhere that both sides are just as bad? Did I say the things the left does are as bad as starting an insurrection? I did not, and in fact I think the far right is much worse. That doesn’t mean there aren’t parts of the left that are also in the wrong about certain things. And no it’s not just a tiny part of the left.

But why are you so quick to get so defensive? Why can nobody openly acknowledge their own side’s faults?

Going back to the topic at hand about abolishing the police, I don’t understand why I never hear anybody say “yeah you’re right, abolish the police is a bad way to say it. Here are the things we actually want. Wr should tweak the messaging to make it more clear”. Everyone is so insistent on doubling down on the abolish/defund language. And if someone doesn’t understand that this is now just a code for a more nuanced agenda, then we’ll extend our outrage to them too!

Apparently you need to also take into account the frequency of the current.

To cut the long story short, all my early search for a solution was leading me to overpriced "kits" on ebay and the likes.
All you have to do is type "frequency 60hz clippers" to understand what I'm talking about.
The solution, which is cheap and simple is to buy a $18 power adapter with a $20 inverter from Amazon.

That is one of many studies.

It’s sort of built into the profession: medical practice is inherently little-c conservative. Doctors are trained throughly to practice the precautionary principle because it’s easier to cause more harm. Often with good reason imagine you’re a surgeon and a new procedure comes out that’s 92% effective and the one you learned in school and have hundreds of hours of practice in is 89% effective. That boost is worth it in theory but are you going to risk a few patients while you learn it along the way? That benefit needs to be much larger in the aggregate. This is also assuming it’s something reach FDA certification, etc. scientific research is often a decade ahead of the market any way in any field.

Then there’s also the reality that doctors at least in the US are incredibly over worked and keeping up with a wide variety of scientific literature is just not practical. This is coupled to an increased specialization in medicine may mean cross-over research from different specialities may not filter into your desk.

From my experience, `autoreconf -i` is responsible for generating the configure script from a configure.ac file, so I assumed some platform-specific logic was happening.

I always wrapped it up in a autogen.sh script that I did commit. Also, end users generally prefer prebuilt binaries, if one wants to compile the software themselves, I expect him to have autotools installed, and mention it as a requirement in the README.

You are only right to the extent that IQ is indeed a "subjective measure". For example, there are IQ differences between black and white people in the US. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achievement_gaps_in_the_United.... Debates about this take the form (a) of arguing about what IQ measures, and whether it is valid; (b) of arguing about whether environmental or genetic factors contribute to the differences - for instance, if you have worse nutrition, experience more air pollution, or have a less stimulating home environment, all of these might cause your IQ to be lower than someone else. However, there is no serious debate that the gaps in IQ tests (and many other achievement measures) exist.

The debate about whether IQ is "subjective" is ongoing but some things are pretty clearly known. For instance, IQ is highly predictive of many life outcomes, and many different kinds of academic tests all load on a single factor (general intelligence).

This has all been debated up and down the hillsides, and although I don't think IQ is the single measure that defines everything (obviously?), you are premature to dismiss IQ as "subjective". That's far from obvious.
Section 5(2) of the statute establishing this warrant is literally titled “Warrants: general” and explicitly tries to exclude actions under these warrants from judicial review.
Since when is a shut-in an act of terrorism? As far as I'm aware these protesters at the Capitol didn't kill or attempt to kill anyone. Yes, they damaged government property. Many will face prosecution for this.

Supporters of BLM have committed far worse acts in recent years but they are not labelled as terrorists. The only people that died at this event were the protestors - one at least was unarmed and murdered by a police officer. The whole thing is on video.

I don't think the fact that taking hostages wouldn't actually succeed in making Trump president for the next four years is reason not to hope that law enforcement is suitably prepared to prevent emboldened 'patriots' from trying. Indeed it's precisely because such people are largely immune to normal deterrence measures you need law enforcement to be more effective.
I have a hard time taking the so-called “right” seriously about free and fair elections after 8 years of obstructing Obama.

Effectively marginalizing the other side with their media platforms, and political agents in the form of rich Republicans, only to suddenly screech about the same happening to them?

Indeed, as a political party, Republicans have undermined both sides voters. I have yet to see factories growing out of the ground in Ohio after Trumps promises.

I’m unaligned politically, only voted for Obama in ‘08 for the racial symbolism (representation matters).

They show up in Portland, uninvited, pointing guns. They showed up in Kenosha uninvited shooting people.

Why not align with the side that otherwise has largely spray painted buildings and marched for representation?

Human biology will react in kind; refuse to compromise, put boots on necks figuratively speaking, do not be surprised and angry when that’s how you are treated in return.

There’s a parallel here to the story recently about securities fraud. Investors suing a company means the company burns cash that undermines investors.

Politicians undermining and not compromising with the other side is undermining the whole of their own country.

>when they detect he’s going to say something they don’t like.

Give me a break. You act like they have been cutting out on him for years. It's only been recently this year when he literally lying and calling covid a hoax, telling people to do dangerous things like gather for his rallies during a pandemic / actively saying not to wear masks, and finally this election bullshit.

The networks have gone above and beyond his bs for years- there is a time to take a stand and the last few months have proven that.
Isn't "putting money into Bitcoin" the same thing as "bidding it up"? Both actions have the same level of rationality, whatever that might be.
One mechanism we developed was to build a variant of our storage node that could run in isolation. This meant that synthetic testing would give us some optimal numbers for hardware vetting and performance changes.

I proved quite quickly our application was quite thread poor and the costs of fixing it was quite worth it. Using other synthetic benchmarks to compare what the systems were capable of.

I was gone before that was finished, but it was quite an improvement. It also allowed cold volumes to exist in an over subscription model.

None of this excuses good real world telemetry and evaluation of your outliers.

Supposedly more cops died in one day of (presumably Thin Blue Line supporting) riots at the US Capital than did many months of the so-called "anti-cop" demonstrations. Perhaps if the police cleared out the MAGA folks as enthusiastically as they did the peaceful demonstrators for Trump's church photo-op, then a lot of this could be avoided.

And the goal of the BLM demonstration was not violence, whereas that was the goal of at least some (if not many) of the MAGA folks. Quite a few folks walking around with zip ties and more than one noose as well.

Going back to July 27, 2020, Trump tweeted:

> Anarchists, Agitators or Protestors who vandalize or damage our Federal Courthouse in Portland, or any Federal Buildings in any of our Cities or States, will be prosecuted under our recently re-enacted Statues & Monuments Act. MINIMUM TEN YEARS IN PRISON. Don’t do it! @DHSgov

> Clojure people have a lot of insecurity around Haskell

I beg to differ. I think it's the other way around. I rarely see Clojure folk bashing on Haskell - they usually admit Haskell's strong points or any other language. They very often borrow ideas from other languages, libraries, and tools.
I've heard they are figuring out interop with Python and R. They've built Clojure-like Lisp dialects that work on Golang, Erlang, compile to Lua, etc.

Haskellites, however, get sad and defensive anytime someone mentions that it's not so widely used in the real world.
madvise gives you pretty good control over the paging, no? Generally I think you can MADVISE_NOTNEEDED to page out content if you need to do it more aggressively, no? The benefit is that the kernel understands this enough that it can evict those page buffers, things it can’t do when those buffers live in user-space.

I enjoyed Coming Up For Air. I didn't find the description in the article matched the book. The nostalgia in the book is that of the character not of the author. There is a reasonable ironic distance between the two. The narrator is an unloveable middle aged prick really. What works well in the book is how threadbare and futile the social contract is shown to be. The character and their life illustrate it brilliantly without it seeming preachy.

For now it's implements 3 RFC's: rfc6749, rfc7662, rfc7636

That is a fascinatingly passive synonym for "struggle session."
I'm guessing it's going to be more complicated than that. One thing I think I learned during the Trump presidency is that the federal bureaucracy will leak nuggets of information that make them look good or paint the story that they want. But when the full facts and truth of a given situation come out it tends to be far more complicated than far less clear cut than what the initial leaks seem to paint.
Well, obviously not. It was telegraphed beforehand that it would happen on Twitter and Parler by various loons, by the US president, his kids, and his insane lawyer, and no-one did a thing (or, arguably, people did less than the reasonable minimum). And presumably the surveillance that already exists picked up some more than that. The problem was (possibly deliberate) negligence, not a lack of intelligence.

When you do something sufficiently idiotic, like sending a mob of radicalized trigger happy lunatics that believe in alternate reality games (namely Q) to attack the capitol, which is full of elected officials (just like Trump) representing every state, then you fucking DESERVE to be deplatformed.

In fact, not only he deserves to be banned, he deserves to be outed by his own cabinet then sent to jail.

I’ve seen this and similarly structured ideas floated since the Slashdot days, and they resonate with me—but there’s never a corresponding path to actually get buy-in from legislators. Feels similar to, but distinct from, a tragedy of the commons situation—the commons would benefit from supporting something like this, but there’s no organizing to make it happen and insufficient individual incentive to do it on behalf of the general public.

But those mediums would hardly be reasonable given how much content is in the English Wikipedia
I think you make a good point, the internet has kind of brought people together to debate and discuss issues when their personal contexts are very different. This often leads to a kind of stalemate in the debates.

And like you say, nobody is allowed to be wrong or fail in politics anymore, which means we're not allowed to experiment at the local or regional level, or to rollback policies, or just have any kind of rational retrospective. Nope, now it's all ideological, like religion, you can't possibly push a policy that failed, or have a bad idea. That just means you're weak and shall be casted away for the better sharlatan to take your place, he is never wrong, if you doubt how right he is, you shall be jailed or mocked, if his policies don't work, we shall endure them and believe in them even harder.
