Politics is the mind-killer. Even those of us who wish to be rational and practice rationalism, suck at applying the methods of rationality to politics by default.

I don’t have a magic-wand solution to this (and I’d be surprised if such a solution exists), but we’ve just witnessed what happens if you let people argue endlessly in bad faith without consequence, and what happened was not good.

Perhaps your way is the least-bad outcome overall? I wouldn’t know, but you do not appear to have made that argument.
For CalDav/CardDav there's DAVx⁵. It's on Play if you want to support the developer, or F-Droid if you don't.

There is also ICSx⁵ from the same developer, works against outlook.com.

I paid for both, they work great.
Now this is wierd and interesting...

Basically, the guy makes a thread (basically screws and nuts have threads, but only in one direction) for a "bolt" (for lack of a better term, axis perhaps, two-directional screw?) that goes simultaneously in both directions...

But that's not the point.

There may be some analogy to this structure with respect to Physics...

In other words, there may be waves, or wave-like structures which have dual chirality...

In other words, let's say that a wave is three dimensional in nature, and has a certain spin, and a certain chirality for that spin.

And, that given a revolution, that one revolution gives you a certain amount of forward distance, whether that distance is ultra small or whatever the scale is...

But now, if the substrate (if there is a substrate!) is "threaded" in both directions at the same time, then this would mean that the same spin (depending on where it is placed on the threaded substrate) -- could in fact use the same spin that it uses to go forward -- to go in reverse!

It's a super-weird effect, and would take some time "wrapping your mind around".

Also, we see the same pattern (possibly) but in 2D space in the curves and counter-curves, spirals and counter-spirals, in such things as Sunflowers...

So, there's some connection here to Physics, waves, spins, 1/2 spins, and the like...

Opinion: Worth investigating further...
Thanks for that link. I think I have read something similar in the distant past but read through it again.

> There are [places] on Earth that do have these sharp ventifacts, but we hadn't seen them on Mars and we didn't test against them

This is whats so curious. In their testing on Earth after the fact, they found:

> Bedrock with lots of rocks: ~8 kilometers

> Lots of rocks, not on bedrock: 13-14 kilometers

> Bedrock with few rocks (think flagstones): 30-40 kilometers or more

It's just very surprising they didn't think to test on more varied Earth terrains, looking for worst case scenarios, where they would have clearly found this limitation. It is my understanding that the wheel damage became a major limiting factor of Curiosity's mission.
Absolutely - one of my colleges has an elderly laptop that has a pronounced hum which for long meetings is distracting.

Having a real sound card like an entry level Focusrite 2i2 or Solo, a sub £100 condenser mic and decent headphones would make a lot of difference
This will probably be interpreted by many (and the media) as a downside for Tesla, but IIRC one of Tesla’s stated goals has always been to drive the entire marketplace towards electric vehicles.

In this sense, they have succeeded beyond most people’s expectations.
Well put. This political battle is being fought at the lowest levels of discourse that's barely above animalistic screeching while trying to tangle some of the most complex and nuanced topics; and the results are predictably ridiculous.

It’s half-right, and I won’t comment on the policy recommendations.

If you consider the start of this in late March, and look at late July (a four month flu season) then the US fatalities were about 140K. Compiled from Official State Websites, you can check historical data at

https://covidtracking.com/data

The 2018 flu season was 80K fatalities.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/26/health/flu-deaths-2017--2018-...

So, for the standard four month flu season ending in early August, COVID was roughly twice as bad as a very bad flu season, with per capita death rates varying wildly around the country. So for that period the commenter is basically correct, unless you have a problem with official State health authorities and the CDC. These numbers are right.

It’s now 360K after 9 months and nationwide, according to the same site compiled from Official State websites. With 40 of the 50 States with per capita fatality rates within a factor of two of each other (500-1000 people/death).

So it is back-to-back and twice-as-bad...the very very bad flu season that hasn’t stopped yet and is now pretty evenly distributed nationwide. Not the plague, but not just a very bad flu (for the elderly at least).

The poster never referred to IFR explicitly. I personally prefer old-fashioned per-capita death rates unless I’m modeling dynamics. Neater, cleaner.

From a policy standpoint, deaths still skews towards the very old. Median death age in late 70s in my county. So politics of sending Grandma out of the igloo into the blizzard, and potential confusion of elderly dying with COVID v. dying from COVID still relevant for lockdown policy and the like.
I only watch CNN, they are a beacon of truth in a swamp of compromised and for profit media.
Can't an app ask for a website to be opened, and then that would cause the standard browser to display said website and URL?

It does not sound to me like the Chrome app was infected, just told to open a page.
Sure it does. They're not done trying to burn the existing system down, they think Trump is acting against that system, and they reject the other establishment / system candidates (of which there are few regardless in a locked two party system that just practices flipping sides every few years). They also widely believe Trump would have enacted a lot more policies they view favorably if he hadn't been thwarted by the opposition.

And he did take a few steps to fix issues, including on criminal justice reform and eg his executive order on healthcare pricing (how was something like that not in the ACA?). A pittance for sure. However if you're drowning and grasping at straws, those will do. The way the system attacked Trump for four years also makes them believe even more so that he represents the anti-establishment, that he would tear down the existing system.

Trump voters also liked his economy until the pandemic crashed it. They think he was at least partially responsible for it. Wages for the bottom 2/3 were rising at the fastest pace in two decades. That wasn't courtesy of Trump (it was due to a very tight labor market, which would have happened in that term regardless), however as President he gets the credit for it, that's how it always works politically. Absent the pandemic, Trump would have easily sailed to a second term via the electoral college.

Why did Bernie Sanders voters come back and vote for him so voraciously again after he (maybe) lost last time vs Hillary Clinton? Because they reject the Hillary Clinton & Joe Biden status quo, the never-ending cycle of sticking to the types of candidates and policies of the recent past that have failed.

Imagine an alternative election without Trump as a Republican: vote for system status quo conservative candidate (Jeb Bush clones at best, maybe we'll get some more war out of it), or vote for Joe Biden, one of the guys that put us into Iraq & Afghanistan for two decades, represents everything wrong with the past 50 years of American politics (which he was an important part of), is a pure establishment candidate, represents the entrenched political elites, and sponsored the human rights smashing 1990s crime bill. One helluva choice Americans get. Death by this, or death by that. Besides, people largely vote by partisanship (which is how you get prominent Democrat Congresspersons that will say Biden is guilty of sexual assault, and they still support him for President; or how you get his VP calling him a racist one minute and then gleefully joining forces with him and pretending he's not a racist the next minute; that's the nature of being a partisan). The vast majority of voters on each side will stay on their Republican / Democrat side; so if you're a Republican, your choice is Trump or a likely return to something akin to Bush's various terrible policies (the Bush money machine likely would have handed Jeb the Republican nomination in 2016, absent Trump). So as I said, flail it is.
Wow Thanks Mister!
Thus Autism is not necessarily a disorder? This sounds like the same conclusion as written in the article.
No disagreement, just a comment on what the person you were replying to seemed to be implying
Rittenhouse, an 17 year old, carried a weapon across state lines to engage in militia activities and shot someone. He was not defending his own house or business. He is a bad guy, and what he did was bad. In the modern world, the state has a monopoly on violence, no roving militias are legitimate uses of force.
Oh thx. We’re Station F residents since last week. I’ve already booked a meeting with someone from Noel’s VC to talk next week
Computing will be more heterogeneous involving a mix of datacenters, SOCs, CPUs beyond x86, and FPGAs. There will be even more emphasis on decoupling code from the hardware it runs on. A shift toward functional programming could be a good fit for this. There will also be more virtualization in general and hopefully better interoperability. As the cost of developing custom ASICs continues to drop, there will be more malicious hardware to contend with, rather than just malicious software running on commodity hardware.
For Linux, I agree.
On the other hand, there is a legal concept called Common Carriage - private companies that have monopoly are not allowed to refuse service to anyone unless mandated by courts.

If it was a power company shutting off electricity to Facebok, Twitter and AWS, because they disagree with their business practices, we would have an outrage right now about how undemocratic it is.

(And I say this with all my distaste for Trumpism)
What is your estimation based on? My users sign up with my app and at the moment a free subscription is created for them automatically on sign up, and they can upgrade to a paid plan from within the app. So I would only ask them to pick a plan again once I switch, not to recreate the whole account. Their account plus data etc would stay the same. Do you think it would still be bad to ask them to pick up a plan again, knowing that the previous subscriptions would be cancelled automatically when they resubscribe? Thanks
I don't see an answer to the question I asked. All I see is variations of "It's a joke bro, relax!". (And that's 0/4 on HN when I've asked this question)

Explain the joke, please! I'm not trying to take those words literally. I'm just looking for a figurative meaning of "heads on pikes" that makes sense in this context. "Fire them" makes no sense at all. So what is it?
> absolutely terrifying seeing the scales keep tilting heavier & heavier towards fewer & fewer options

This is just not happening. Except apparently in the minds of many HNers who live in some bizarre alternate reality.
This is the very first step to getting Rust into Linux kernel. I liked that.

I'm talking about politeness and courtesy not name calling. Having a discussion and avoiding snarky comments so this forum doesn't devolve into Twitter or Reddit.

"I assume you have noticed how the majority of the people in the 1/6 "protests" were white, didn't you? "

"You're gonna have to provide more than "could it be," and "perhaps," if you want me to swallow that line."

"Are you actually trying to make that claim or just arguing for the sake of arguing?"

"If you can't deal with that, I'd suggest you avoid internet discussions entirely."
Neither the Senate report nor the Mueller report attempted to determine whether the Russian operations affected the outcome of the election, as your article indicates:

> [D]id those Russian efforts actually swing the outcome of the 2016 contest? ... Mueller's report does not attempt to answer this politically charged issue.

Indeed, that article explains quite clearly how it's not possible to say with certainty ("nowhere near enough") whether the outcome of the election was changed or not. You can't compare the impact of the stolen DNC and Podesta emails with campaign expenditures.
fwiw even before the football game, Notre Dame temporarily shifted to online for half a month after an outbreak.¹

Regular testing is great, but it needs to be coupled with effective contact tracing to curb spread.

Scary. Is there such a thing as a malware scanner on Android? Are they effective or worthwhile at all? Why isn't Apple susceptible to this type of malware, seemingly?
It is difficult to find good videos of the BLM protests, for an event that went global for a week or few YouTube is rather light on videos.

But I found one [0] leaves me comfortable in assuming a similar scene happened at some point over the week in Minneapolis. It would have ben a very scary time to be a police officer, the burning of the vehicles from 2:28 to 4:00 for example looks a lot like a threat of violence. Those protesters wanted to hurt the police.

The US has a pretty high tolerance for violence in its protests. If anything, I'd guess that rather than attitudes of the protestors the lack of police deaths in the BLM protests were because the police knew that they were going to be targeted with violence, and it caught them off guard coming from Trump supporters.

PS. Also your video is a bit indistinct, I'm not sure it does show them beating a police officer who is on the ground
Maybe they are often pointless but I think in this case it would be helpful if we found out the main drivers for these decisions.

Let’s not undermine the significance of techs decision to censor here. The potential blowback could be in tens of millions of users abandoning these platforms for alternatives.

So should we give them credit or was this a political decision? Maybe the DOJ will drop its cases against big tech. Maybe the senate/congress will stop calling the CEOs to testify.
> Is this advice meant to be applied against all people, or just other developers? I certainly wouldn't apply this standard to RIAA lawyers suing kids. I judge them to be worms even though I never worked with them. And don't even get me started on politicians

These developers do not wield power over anyone and they are not filing lawsuits. They are developing code, either as their job, or as volunteers. And in either case, contributing their work as open source.

It might help to take a little perspective before publicly passing judgement on _individuals_ and what you imagine their intentions to be rather than merely judging the merit of their contributions. Those are completely different things.
> But one group decided to storm congress (which I still haven't wrapped my head around, I'm mentally living in the beforefor times)

As has been said elsewhere, this is not about disagreeing with someone’s political views. This is about not amplifying a voice that incites a mob to attack congress and overturn an election.

And they aren’t even banning people for solely the latter! Representatives who continue to support the president have had no issues.
> This is just hate spewing, plain and straight.

Hate is an emotion, it is subjective. You might feel hate when you see or hear something, but it is not an intrinsic, objective quality of other people's words.

Without using these emotional trigger words, do you think the citizens of a country should be able to decide who visits them in their country?
Okay, well, see ya then. None of those are attacks on you in any way. I'd advise you to grow a thicker skin if you want to participate on the internet.
Generally agree, but

> Are you kicking nazis off the platform because you hate nazis or are you kicking nazis off the platform because of the potential for harm?

Where is the boundary between kicking gays out because you hate them and kicking then out because of potential harm by means of god's wrath?
I’d like to suggest adding one positive trait to this list: increased collaboration — via increased reliance or dependancy on others (for certain tasks or types of learning); this is from personal experience which I don't care to describe in detail at the moment.
Yup, but not my problem, anymore...
I was a dev at a live widget company called decentral tv, and we did this using Adobe Flex. We pivoted to live and prerecorded video with customizable presentations, and the occasional poll.

This will return. We just need a "what is a client-host" / "what is a distributed server" + structured data standard for sharing the interaction part, like IDK torrent, and a way to describe dynamic groups / sets of apps which are relevant to a workflow or an experience.

The level of interactivity, the cognitive / attention demands on a user also should be modeled. Asynchronous texting, or live chatting, or even most active: producing an experience moment-to-moment.

IDK - it's possible and clearly this thread shows the interaction / synergy potential. To help keep us together.

For the most part I think the fears over their crypto is overblown. But their behaviour over the years and not being secure by default means people shouldn't be using it just on principal.

Signal's double ratchet algorithm is easily the gold standard for now and there's little reason for anyone pushing a E2EE privacy narrative to not be using it.
Every native app can be hacked, or sold, to a malicious actor that will then make your phone theirs.

Trump still has millions of emails of people to "contact" through his campaign.

A tech platform doesn't have political opponents.

And there were no issues with voting ( there were some on a very small scale where most seem to be an attempt for Trump).

Xiaomi's Android distro MIUI has QR code scanning in the Camera app by default.

It’s inferable if you look at micro-timeline of modern American history.

Sanders coalition is about the only grassroots group that came from the left and was swiftly rejected (twice).

The grass roots movements of the tea party took the Obama era super majority away, and fortified a Trump outsider run.

The boots on the ground every-man on the left is harder to rally, and thus far have not shown any ability to even dominate their own party (their platforms don’t even get taken up by the broader party, just parroted). Plus, if it were possible, there would be a voice in the mainstream media stoking this contingent (as in business has identified an obvious market).
Alcohol makes some people aggressive. The right solution, for those people, is to not drink alcohol. And "but I was drunk" is not considered a valid defense.

Maybe the same standard should be applied to people who decide to join a mob, if we're assuming they're not dumb already before joining one.
We can't even install plugins on ours!

I'm on a 3 year old laptop, and I tried several times to get a keystroke to be dropped after I hit the windows key and I couldn't get it to happen.

I use windows-key and start typing to launch things all the time, and after reading your comment at first I thought I might have developed a habit to pause, but nope. I wonder what the difference is.

My biggest KDE gripe is that popups from the system-tray disappear if you move the cursor outside of them. Maybe pro gamers can manage to keep the cursor in every time, but for me I often take 2 or 3 tries to click on something.
