Now Morgan Stanley appeared that they already bought over 5% of CDP stocks and I'm waiting for hostile takeover and gamers to cry again - or maybe not cause they are already blinded by their nice beloved corporations - and say goodbye to another independent studio. Well we'll see. Everyone believed that CDP is big studio yet if you see on CP2077 credits most of graphics / QA work was outsourced, 3-4 people were working on AI and only 1 on R&D software. They managed to make game on their own engine and launch it on 5 platforms at the same time that's impressive to me based on number of developers I saw in credits.

At the end it's always people fault. I don't say it's all ok with CP2077 game but people were so much depressed at the end of 2020 that even if this game worked they would be angry cause everyone demanded different things, probably 90% of people who bought the game are happy cause the story is solid and you can go trough story without problems - all major main story related problems were fixed before Christmas. If you focus on dialogues and don't try to destroy city like in GTA the game is great. I see that most of those who are angry wanted GTA in future and are now pissed that they can't play it like GTA and they're trying to make it GTA using various mods. You can just go and see what mods are most popular - those are mods that mimics GTA game. They're probably even not target group of this game and shouldn't play it but they're like junkies and even if you tell them that they don't have to play this game and they can refund they're be angry about it cause they want to play this game how they like it and they want to play it like GTA. That's insanity.
You can get S2500-24P from eBay for 125 US or so each.
Everyone is responsible for knowing if their actions are legal or not. If you shoot someone on the street and use the defense that you thought it was legal because a court didn't tell you that it wasn't in advance, then you're going to have a bad time.
I don't think the entire movement is showing up to storm government buildings. Clearly this is a small minority of supporters. The riot at the capitol was maybe a few thousand people.
Those are nice, thanks a lot. Will have to see if there is something like that for Safari, thou I doubt it.
Ah, another hot take that a summer of protests, mostly peaceful and at times violent, happening across the country against a history of government agents killing and abusing (mostly) minorities, is the same as a group of conspiracy theorists rallying together at the behest of the lame-duck president to invade the capitol building during a session of Congress to certify the results of a fair election.

If we're whatabouting, the capitol-invaders got off mostly scot-free in the moment, compared to hundreds of more-peaceful protesters who were maced, beaten and detained by cops for much less.

The No True Scotsman defense.

If the Republican Party isn't conservative you are going to have a tough time finding representation in government. Although I guess by global standards the Democrats are pretty conservative, maybe try there?
Personally I find that Berkeleyside and Oaklandside are full of “personal interest” type stories that are interesting but usually aren’t too important. Some new restaurant opened, a new indie movie is showing. Whereas the SF Chronicle has recently become an excellent source for local coronavirus and wildfire news.
Dozens of judges across half a dozen states, many of whom were appointed by Republicans and some even by Donald Trump himself, looked at the cases brought by Trump and Co. and handled them as they saw professionally fit. That is the job of judges. I'm not sure what more "voice" is expected to be given.
well stated
I wasn't blaming anybody for anything. I'm trying to provide some perspective to help understand the problem, instead of immediately cast blame. Honestly, your knee-jerk reaction is part of the problem.

To be fair, what’s stopping someone from blowing the fuse and putting on some “fake” (patched) software claiming it’s not blown? (Asking hypothetically here; I doubt anyone would, but it would be a “valid” concern for Apple)

This is feeding into a false narrative that Fox News largely created out of whole cloth. Fox staked out a conservative position, but claimed they were 'fair and balanced'. To suggest that other news outlets, like CNN or the Washington Post must have a liberal bent is to serve Fox's agenda. Articles like this show how one media outlet has managed to shift the Overton window.
Yes, there are some explicitly leftist news outlets, some, like Mother Jones, long pre-dating Fox news, and others, like MSNBC that pivoted in response to Fox. It is wrong to claim that there are no unbiased outlets because they used the term 'insurrectionists' to describe an organized group that broke into the United States Capitol with the intent to keep Congress from functioning. It's an objectively accurate description.
Just curious. Does anyone know, what is a 35.295 Mhz used for in the Bay Area (Sunnyvale)?
The DC Mayor does NOT control the Capitol Police.

I know its a confusing situation. But your story has nothing to do with the DC Mayor.

EDIT: For yall who are downvoting me. The Mayor controls the DC Metropolitan Police Department. A COMPLETELY different set of officers than the Capitol Police. Furthermore, the DC Mayor has no access to a National Guard militia for backup, and relies upon the President for that. That's just the facts in this matter.
This is completely unacceptable.This is the USA not North Korea!!!!!
> lofty expectations

Well there's your problem right there - don't accept lofty expectations ever. In terms of games that have been decade defining I can draw two examples: Skyrim and Age of Empires 2 - the first game came out after a real avalanche of negative PR around Oblivion being unfun at a basic level (the leveling system in that game was so horrible) and having the first exploitative DLC (see horse armor)... and the second game was mostly a dark horse that has somehow grown over the past two decades to have an incredibly strong e-sports community.

Don't let yourself have lofty expectations for games - realize that a game costs about six or seven movie tickets and make sure you're not dropping 70$ on a game that you shelve after thirty minutes.
Free speech approved by media giants. Everything else will be blockaded.
Maybe you were originally misunderstood? I agree with your point. Getting a mob whipped up into riot level excitement is a completely different situation if the mob all has guns holstered and shouldered.

Storming is just a term for what they did. It doesn't come from any particular movement.
If you host user-generated content, you will have to decide on community standards and do your best to enforce them. This will be expensive. You are legally obligated to police things like terrorism, child pornography, money laundering and even DMCA violations. You are morally obligated to do more than just that, not just by your conscience, but also by the global zeitgeist.

Of course some absurdity lies in making believe your corporation has a conscience. You may have a conscience. But ultimately, no matter what corporate culture you instill, your corporation is a psychopath.

So your corporation will be Dexter and you do your best to operate it like it cares about people and issues and is a good citizen (since after all, it is legally a person.) If you do this poorly, it is revealed to have no soul and punished. If you do it well, you get a brand.

If covering for a psychopath whose only motivation is money and whose opinions are the amalgamation of half-formed thoughts from hundreds or thousands of different individuals isn't your idea of a good time, then maybe running a business isn't the best idea.
People complain here on HN that public or semi-public telegram groups are not e2e encrypted.
Yes, your HN comment isn't either. And there is no point in encrypting it if its mean to be read by others.
Telegram isn't just a messenger. Its a social media like platform with millions of groups and channels you can find trough telegram or they are linked form other places.

Would there be a use case for a fully private e2e group chat? sure, I have a family chat which probably counts as fully private. But even if it could be e2e it would not be because my family wants to have backups and seamless switch between devices. They are also unable to reliable protect they devices form third party accesses trough malware/spyware etc.
All my other groups are public or semi public (means link can only be found if you are part of the right internet community) The messages there are no other than the comments here.

Here is some kind of internet poll:

>one in five voters (21%) say they support the goings-on at the Capitol

So much closer in magnitude to half than to 0.00001%.

https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/20...

>Republicans (45%) actively support the actions of those at the Capitol

43% (of Republicans) are opposed.

>survey was conducted on January 6, 2021 between 5:17 p.m. and 5:42 p.m

Got it. Any and all concerns about the election process should be withheld until further notice. Which is when, exactly?

I do not believe widespread election fraud invalidated the results of the 2020 election. I condemn anyone who participated in or advocated for the violence and other illegal behavior at the capitol last Wednesday. But I also have many criticisms the US election system. When am I allowed to discuss them without "inciting violence"?

It has been five days now. The people involved in that riot are long gone.
If it is not a competitor to your employment, then you should be able to tell your boss. If it does compete, then are you leveraging your work to help your project? If so it is not appropriate.

I have a friend who worked on a project. The company dumped the project, and with the company blessing he continued it in his spare time.
This is communist behavior. Very very upset that I know live in North Korea
Who decided that Twitter does a "good enough job" at moderation? The platform was used to organize riots all summer, unchecked. I can find MAGA insurrectionists talking about violence with a simple search right now.

Was Parler shut down simply because they don't moderate at all? Signal doesn't moderate at all, either. Because they can't. It's by design. Why don't we go after Signal? Out of sight, out of mind? Is that it?
I disagree that this is getting worse. Every game of this magnitude of complexity has shipped broken, even way back in the nineties. The Elder Scrolls series in particular comes to mind. Back then, you'd get patches from print media.

The games that didn't ship broken simply weren't that complex. Console games never were that complex. PC gamers gamers accepted this in order to be able to (sort of) play through an experience that was at the edge of what was possible. There was no Digital Foundry to count pixels and analyze frame drops. If you hit 20FPS most of the time, that was considered "playable".

If a game like Cyberpunk 2077 can't ship broken, then it can't ship at all. It can't even get produced. Nobody is going to put hundreds of millions of dollars on the line to maybe ship next year, forever. Nobody except maybe the Star Citizen community.
Calling it free speech when an authoritarian government heavily restricts what can legally be said feels a bit disingenuous

Which consoles would you have launched it on?

You can't actually launch just for the PS4 Pro or the Xbox One X, you have to support all versions of the PS4 or the Xbox One.

Also the game doesn't run natively on the current gen consoles but through an emulation layer for previous console games.
Might be worth mentioning that there's a small Mandalorian spoiler at the end of the "Bringing them back for more" section.

Northrop Frye analyzed biblical stories[0] and considered comedies to have a U-shaped structure(starting high, falling to a low-point, and ending on a high-point) that's comparable to Wadge's "La-di-da; oh shoot; la-di-da."

Tragedies have an inverted U-shaped structure (rising to a high, crisis, and then decline). There are lots of formalist structures of this variety: Freytag's [1] five-part pyramid structure is another one, but focused on tragedy not comedy.

I'm Failing at Building a Startup and Here's Why – Part 1: The Problem
> No one had firearms at the capital

I assume you mean among the rioters: are you sure? I saw video of a guy pulling up his jacket showing a handgun stuffed in his pants.
Trump/parler is being de-platformed for "inciting violence" but what exactly does that mean?

Obvious case: "Go and hurt that person"

Trump's case: "The election was rigged"

Trump created a (wrong)conspiracy theory that was believed by enough (radical)people to cause real violence and death. I don't __think__ he ever actually said "Storm the capital and break down the doors".

So if I say on Twitter that Google is hiding Elvis in their Mountain View office and people break down the doors of Google to go see, did I just insight violence? If any idea leads to violence, should the author of the idea pay the price for the violence created by others?
Just because something has benefit, doesn't mean the benefit outweighs the cost. Specifically we are talking about the opportunity cost of other valuable things these people could be creating. Obviously this can be difficult to measure.
Please read the post. My ISP already confirmed the problem, and told me that they expect to roll out a fix this week.
I live in Denmark, and here it is fairly common that ISPs do Carrier-grade NAT.
I didn't type that, so I'm not sure what you're referring to. systemd is fundamentally tied to Linux and thus needs to implement workarounds from time-to-time when kernel facilities are lacking. This is complicated by the requirement that systemd continue working on older Linux versions.
I see the nomination process becoming an even greater circus than Supreme Court nominations.
Excellent points I agree that this sets a dangerous precedent.

> What are the best mitigations here, both technical and social

We are witnessing it now on HN. There's a huge uptick in deplatform-proof p2p mesh networks running web applications.

How do you take down a mesh network that will simply regenerate and absorb most external shocks?

I believe that the future of the internet would be fragmented into a conventional centralized server like we see with AWS dominating the market which will still serve useful purpose for most applications and another for the rest.

With Moore's law and 6G we are heading towards a hyper connected world that will facilitate the rise of robust, secure, mesh network based software that runs on our phones.

It will not be without trouble, people will find ways to poison the well. The mesh network would evolve into essentially islands where you physically travel to in order to join that private network to minimize DDOS, MITM attacks.

It would be a cyberpunkesque reality where to buy a bag of weed in a non-legal state, you simply head towards a dark alley, connect to the mesh network, find the drop, and head back to your tiny apartment occasionally poking your head out the window to take in the sights of foggy neon-lit streets with flying cars and spiky haired gender-neutral entities shouting "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it no more!"
But how do you know that? Who's to say that 35 years from now, someone won't have this exact same sentiment when comparing a (then vintage) iPhone 12 to whatever people will use in 30 years?
This is way out of line. 5his type of control is scary.
But it becomes systemd's job to fix/compensate for hardware bugs if they explicitly access the hardware directly instead of going through the kernel, no?
There was an insurrection last week. What caused it?

If you took the beliefs of the people involved in the insurrection to be true, you probably would join an insurrection as well. They believe that an election was stolen and that democracy has been destroyed in the United States and replaced with some form of a deep state dictatorship.

Trump supporters believe this because they have been lied to repeatedly for years without corrections they found to be believable. How do we correct these firmly held (but false) beliefs?

We need to hold people who lie accountable. If a talk show host makes a claim that an election was fraudulently stolen, that host needs to be able to provide real evidence to support that claim in a court of law or face civil / criminal penalties for disseminating false information.

Many people on HN hate the removal of Trump from Twitter and Facebook, and the removal of Parler from AWS... but private companies always have the right to choose who they do business with, barring a very limited set of protected classes. "Big Tech" are private businesses that most conservatives would support being able to exercise their freedom to choose who to do business with, and Big Tech made the right decision in removing people and organizations from their platforms who have repeatedly tried to promote harmful lies.

Beyond holding liars accountable, we do need to do a better job of making the truth more easily accessed. Perhaps holding elections in some sort of open source / public format would help... then you could look up your own vote and the votes of your friends to confirm, and also double check the counts across the nation.
Where are you getting an Urbit ID in 3 minutes? I am not super familiar with Urbit. But my understanding is that even getting a temporary Urbit ID (a commet) takes hours.
Because your considered opinion leads to poor results.
The reason not to trade something that cannot be hedged is because it is impossible to replicate. Of course if the future cash flows of the security are known in advance this point is moot, but for options the idea is that you can replicate the option position by holding a dynamic hedge (this is basically what the black-scholes pde says).
Imagine for a moment that you agreed, as a matter of objective reality, the conservative media did stoke baseless election-fraud claims and that those claims motivated D.C. rioters. Would that headline still seem outside the bounds of centrist, fact-based reporting?

Sometimes there is not a clear both sides.

> which de-facto absolved him of any Russian shenanigans. It doesn't matter that he lies about election results - he was not colluding with Russians.

This is quite literally the opposite of the stated conclusion of the Muller investigation. It's not clear to me how you get "absolved him from any Russia shenanigans". There were clear links between the campaign and Russia (up to and including Trump Jr. meeting with a Russian Lawyer for "dirt" on the Clinton campaign), likely in return for changes to the Magnitsky act. That's all plainly stated in the muller report.

He ultimately didn't charge them because while there may have been intent to collude, it didn't pan out.
This is a bad faith argument, or at least just a bad argument in general. Denouncing transphobia has absolutely nothing to do with said transphobe's religion and everything to do with denoucning hateful rhetoric. It's a leap in logic to assume otherwise.

What's that common Christian refrain? Love the sinner, hate the sin? By your same logic, "love the sinner, hate the sin" is hate speech despite not attacking the person, but their harmful views and actions.
Did we lose the Senate? What about the house? Do we have an enemy force occupying our capital? Are our nation's leaders kidnapped? Are there insurgents fighting in the streets?

All three branches of the government are whole (and save the executive, functioning, but the executive wasn't functioning before the coup either) and business is moving on. That doesn't mean we shouldn't respond with physical security, press charges appropriately or react - but calling it a coup attempt is something that not even the NYTimes supports: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/world/americas/what-is-a-...
do they make it country specific - ie. would the posts questioning the integrity of elections in another country, say Russia (not that i personally question it, Vova, mind you, just a hypothetical), be allowed?

Ok, fair point. I think you convinced me that Amazon had a moral responsibility to terminate their relationship with anyone they believe is breaking the the law. I suppose that if the customer sues and wins they can try to recover damages.
Speaking of security... I fell for their marketing and slick Apple-like design and decided to add a UDM-Pro router and access point to my pre-existing network. I thought I was doing something wrong when the UDM-Pro ignored everything on my network that wasn't connected directly to a Unifi device. I asked about it on the Ubiquiti subreddit and basically got blackballed for "whining". Opened a support ticket with Ubiquiti and they confirmed that you can't work with any clients on non-Unifi hardware.

So basically all you need to do is plug a laptop into a non-Unifi switch on someone's Unifi network and are able to breach the firewall.

Needless to say I was flabbergasted at the vendor lock-in strategy worse than Apple, and asked for a refund. Thankfully they complied.

I now have a hand-rolled OPNsense router that does everything I need, and with MUCH more configurability.
The CM4 can hit up to ~3.4 Gbps for one interface over PCI-E, and 4.15 Gbps if you also use the onboard Gigabit interface. Use a 1, 2, or 4-port network card and you can do some interesting things at 1+ Gbps: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/#network-cards-nics
