Georgia's a pain in the butt. Apparently, their official court documents site wants $.50 / page for the PDFs of filings. That's not happening.

Many of the court records can apparently be found on democracydocket.com, but my browser is complaining about the site. Sorry.

Trump v. Kemp, 1:20-cv-5310 (N.D. Ga.) (https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.gand.285271...) (from https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/court-cases/voting-ri...) is interesting, though. The plaintiff's first claim is that the election was not conducted in accord with election laws established by the GA legislature. The court decides "Therefore, Plaintiffs Electors Clause claim belongs, if it belongs to anyone, only to the Georgia General Assembly" and since none of the plaintiffs are members of the assembly, they don't have standing. (That's rather fine logic chopping, but....)

The rest of the ruling seems to be that the governor and secretary of state of the state are not the ones legally responsible for verification of ballots, so the second claim cannot apply to them.
You sure make a lot of assumptions on my behalf, don’t you?

Let’s address them. I’m not left, I’m not even American. I’m European, which is why I’m speaking about which direction the EU is taking on this. We’re going to regulate big tech, because it, as I said, has no public mandate to silence elected officials.

We’re also going to regulate social media platforms, that do not moderate their content. We currently do a pretty decent job of censoring Islamic terrorism. Right wing terrorism is going to join it.

If someone creates a social media platform, that is used to plan left wing terrorism, then that will be censored as well. Riots running amok, isn’t really comparable to attacking the government though. I think in both cases, American law enforcement completely failed in its primary duty of keeping your country safe.

Whataboutism isn’t necessary though. You can be against both the BLM riots and the MAGA insurrection. And I’d argue that anyone reasonable would be.
It's the context. Even ignoring what issue she was talking about, it's one thing to mention an uprising in general. It's another one to mention it when you know there's lots of people just waiting to actually do it, and you were warned multiple times that you're causing a real threat.

Same reason you don't get the same treatment for speeding a little bit which is a danger to people, as for actually speeding and running someone over.
What's with all the dogwhistles? Just call it facial recognition. The extra bait is just going to derail the conversation into arguments about the role race and gender actually play in the system.

That makes sense. But if gcc doesn’t expose the AST (like clang does), why does it matter what its parser does? This “comparison” even says such:

> GCC is built as a monolithic static compiler, which makes it extremely difficult to use as an API and integrate into other tools.

Obviously, if gcc exposed the AST with an API, changing "x - x" into 0 would be bad for refactoring, but they don’t (at least when this was written a decade ago).
There should be a market for people who will pay extra for SD cards that:

1. Absolutely don't lie about their capacity

2. Have a reasonable MTBF

3. Are reliably fast

But instead we're all dealing with an industry that raced to the bottom years ago.

I'm concerned that the same mentality will infect the eMMC market eventually and it will become impossible to find quality parts after a couple of years.

So, lets not speculate.
I think we're going to have to wait for the base to get over him, and for that to happen I think we're going to have to wait for more continued Dem control of everything before the core voters like the idea of beating the Dems more than they like the idea of Trumpism. Might not happen for a while either given how narrow the Dem control of congress is.

Going against the base in your area is increasingly just asking to get primaried, on both sides of the aisle.

Sure, they can. But the restrictions that come with being a prisoner don't particularly aid a campaign.
Programming does this for me too. I think it's as important to make space for this in your life, as it is to make space for other things too.

I believe doing work at that level of immersion is actually hugely beneficial to your life and mental health. There was just an article on HN the other day about a 104 year old submitting his PHD thesis. Super cool!

> Though it's cliché and often listed as a negative, emacs really gives the user more than just a program to edit text.

I would not recommend emacs as an editor these days to most developers, but it absolutely still remains one of the most visionary and well thought out pieces of software ever written. It is both hilarious and depressing how emacs has been literally decades in the future over all of its 45 years of existence, without even the most obvious clearly superior aspects diffusing into the sea of idiocy surrounding it at a rate faster than one or two decades per feature.

Not everything about emacs is great, or even were great, without downside (for example the extreme malleability and customizable bring a raft of problems as well). But a couple of things really were and in some cases still are just obviously, massively, better without the rest of the world being in any seeming hurry to adopt them.

Incremental search is the prime example. It has finally become ubiquitous, and yet Emacs was basically the only thing that had it for well over a quarter century. As Raskin quipped in The Humane Interface (2000), search is either incremental or excremental (unfortunately he seemingly also tried to steal the credit -- he had an interesting mode-less variant of incremental search in Copy Cat which deserves notice, but it still postdated emacs by quite a few years, and I've never seen him acknowledging emacs as prior art). So I would really love to understand why neither netscape or basically anything else in the 90ies had incremental search, despite often being written in large parts in emacs by people living and breathing emacs such as JWZ.

And to this day emacs remains one of very few programs with a proper (i.e. non-linear) undo system or a clipboard not suffering from severe dementia, or the ability to actually ask "what happens when I click here?".

Beside the pandemic, I think the performance in the first debate was disastrous. If he’d faced it like the second debate, he might well not be in this position.

Of course I think he was upset by the initial impeachment. And he probably was under the mistaken conclusion that he needed to rattle Biden to win the debate.

He was like an unbridled bronco when he needed to be more of a showhorse for the undecideds.
From the article:

> it’s a simple feedforward network with... a single scalar output to give a numerical score for the position, indicating how favourable it is for the player about to move.

The search algorithm proposes moves, computes the board state resulting from them, and evaluates each state.

This may seem like a trivial distinction, but it's important. The Stockfish method requires knowing the rules of the game; networks that output a move directly do not.
How is that meaningfully different than a product which can be copied?

> I wonder how much that speeding ticket would cost.

I once got one for going at about 3x the speed limit (very nice road in Brazil, broad daylight, nobody in sight, short run, and very unfortunate radar gun positioning). The policeman was impressed and joked that he would like to, but couldn't give me 3 speeding tickets instead of one.
I'm down - I 'd rather see a broader -"Personal Data Provider Union" though. Since our personal data is supposedly worth money, it seems reasonable to least attempt collective bargaining as way to negotiate some protections around it. I actually proposed this "Data Union" concept a while back on the Andrew Yang subreddit, since data ownership is a part of his platform. But unions aren't super hot in general right now. I still like them though, and am an IWW member exactly because I think they still have potential.
Is there any way to see a demo ?
While Tether may indeed be a fractional reserve, that doesn't seem like an existential threat to bitcoin.

At any given time, a small scale bitcoin holder (<1000BTC) can liquidate their entire position on Coinbase and withdraw USD to their bank account within a few days. A large holder would have to be more careful, but the market is big enough to liquidate 10,000 BTC over a week or two with minimal price impact.

Given this, we can see from revealed preferences that most small and large bitcoin holders are not liquidating their positions for USD. Whether or not Tether is a fractional reserve doesn't really change this.

That said, if Tether is revealed to be a fractional reserve, it would almost certainly be a huge short term shock to the system for bitcoin. Liquidity between exchanges would be shot, and the news would scare many investors away from the market. I wouldn't be surprised to see an 80% short term drawdown in that scenario, similar to when Mt Gox crashed. But again, this doesn't really change the long term dynamics I described above, since holder's ability to liquidate BTC for USD was never an issue.
I dont understand that:

1. So someone sells (potentially) worthless Tether for Bitcoin, ok.

2. But who is selling his Bitcoin for Tether in these volumes? Miners need to sell for cash to finance their operations.

If I had to guess, and this is just a guess, so take it with a grain of salt. I'd bet most storage devices these days are just thin wrappers around PCI-Express lanes, most of the hardware in the silicon running that stuff is on die for AMD/Intel CPU's and you likely run into cost/power/board space limitations in a device like this

It was one of the "scan a planet" type side mission things.

I just remember that that particular planet didn't have much of an atmosphere, so it wasn't good for dumping excess heat from ships.
Thanks! Those explanations seem reasonable. Certainly more reasonable than extraterrestrials. I was under the impression that the radar data that concluded insane speeds was aggregated from multiple sources. If that's not the case (as Mick seems to suggest), then I suppose it could be a radar glitch. And since the speeds and maneuvering of the object is the only thing that made it seem not man made to me, that falls too.

My point about "something was there" still stands though. I've heard other debunking comments that simply dismiss it as a video issue, and that is what grinds my gears.
There can be legitimate use cases why a network maybe have a very few amount of prefixes not signed or even invalid: canaries and beacons.

For example, running tests to a signed, unsigned and invalid prefix can provide insight into how other networks are routing to them.

One example is a beacon to probe to determine if a network has enabled origin validation. Failure to connect, or a change in the routing path can provide insight into which networks on the internet have enabled origin validation.
It's to exit your crypto positions without the costly process of going into fiat.
Funny, as a kid I felt the opposite. Getting to eat McDonalds, or fastfood at all, was a rare treat because it was expensive. On road trips, my parents packed cold soggy sandwiches for me and my brothers. These days though, I associate McDonalds with 'no other option' and don't care for the food at all (probably because I never developed much of a taste for it in the first place?)
If you're an insurer, and you find out your client has never implemented basic safety measures that have been industry standard for 30 years (i.e. an immobilizer), I guess denying the claim takes probably minutes.

We're in a world where nothing means anything anymore. Stock valuations are meaningless. Take Alibaba for instance. What exactly are you getting when you buy a share of BABA? Voting rights? Dividends? Liquidation value? Nope, none of that. You're getting a meaningless piece of paper that hopefully everyone else agrees is worth something in the future.

How about Chewy. 30 billion market cap for a random ecommerce site running a multibillion dollar loss for 5 years? Sure why not. Or Quantumscape. 20 billion for a battery company with zero revenue that doesn't even have a factory? Of course. Money is a complete fiction now. In this environment, if the investing class agrees that Bitcoin is worth $35k, then it is.
This is probably because the RAM is internal to the FPGA:

> A complete J1 with 16Kbytes of RAM fits easily on a small Xilinx FPGA.

I'd guess the CPU itself would easily fit into an iCE40 (given that RISC-Vs are fitting and the J1 should be simpler) with the RAM external. Several of the iCE40 boards have external RAMs
The argument I've seen for outsourcing is that everyone uses machines from ASML et al anyway, so retooling to run a different company's silicon may not be as impossible as it seems.

I think there's an issue with helping Intel temporarily, because if you're TSMC you'd rather use your capacity to serve long-term partners rather than helping Intel bridge the gap to 7nm only to get dropped a couple of years from now when they get their chips in order.

I guess I’m just saying I don’t think it’s a reasonable request, and this was my way of politely explaining why. It’s okay for users to express anger over something like this. The fact that devs are doing volunteer work is great, but it doesn’t exempt them from certain responsibilities (see my food analogy).
Moore's laws has nothing to do with how fast a chip is. It deals with how many transistors you can fit in a given area.

This can equate to a faster chip because you now can do more at once. However, we hit the frequency limits a while ago for silicon. Particularly, parasitic capacitance is a huge limiting factor. A capacitor will start to act like a short circuit the faster your clock is.

Moore's law has a little more life, although the rate seems to have slowed. However, at the end of the day it can't go one forever you can only make something so small. One gets to a point they have so few atoms to constructing something useful becomes impossible. Like current transistors are finFETs because the third dimension gives them more atoms to reduce leakage current, compared to the relatively planar designs on older process nodes. However, these finFets still take up less area on a die.
Why is converting to fiat any more expensive than selling for Tether?

[edit]

Maybe I've figured it out: It's essentially a way of moving a sum of fiat between exchanges without going through a bank. If you withdraw to a bank, then you have to wait a while before you can move that money back into an exchange. At least that's my experience.
>Not only that but the WHO recently released a statement saying that PCR testing for COVID-19 is not suitable as it detects many forms of respiratory problems including the common cold.

From what I read in the WHO link, they are mostly saying that users should read the manual and check the cycle treshold to make sure no false negative results are seen.

The board I have has only 4GB of MMC on board which wasn't big enough for the later versions of the OS, but you could boot off of the SD instead if you held down a button on the board while powering it up.

There was a way to tweak it so you didn't have to hold the button down, but it was kinda involved IIRC so I never got around to it.
I quite enjoy Tailwind, and have used it in several production projects.

When using Tailwind, don't forget that it is not only to be used as a utility-like CSS framework, but is also intended to build your own CSS systems. You can customize it and build your own classes using the `@apply` directive and other tools so that you don't copy/paste the same utility classes all over the place, but instead use CSS as we used to back in the good ol' days, with custom classes. :)
I’m referring to Middle America salaries in most mid sized cities. If those same people went to NYC or SF it would be another story. Likely 2x at least.
The title is very misleading because it states a causation whereas the article talks about “links” and “associations”. This is a serious error since correlation is not causation.
Another fact is that if the statement were made in 1994, there were five years to publish it while Ehrlichman might still be around to dispute it. Oddly enough, another fact is that this didn't come out until Ehrlichman was dead for seventeen years. Stake your reputation on such things if you like, but I think there's better material to use to make the point. Ehrlichman had a lot to answer for, but I'm not willing to pile on in this case based on something someone remembers from twenty years prior.

They got where they are by raising from investors on the premise they would 10x the money, and also hired top talent with stock options that are only worth anything if the company similarly increases in value. If ambition wasn’t in their DNA, they never would have gotten to the good state you liked in the first place.

The payoff if the growth attempts work is asymmetric, so it’s worth the risk.

> Working for a small European startup sucks. The company will ALWAYS find a way to shift the blame

Start-ups across ~50 countries? Always doing the same thing? I think you may be generalising quite a bit... It's not like an SV company would ever shift blame on the customer, right? :-)
The fact that Tether has gone on for so long is proof you can do these kinds of things on the year-long scale and have plenty of time to plan an exit well before the cards collapse. People have been calling the risk of Tether for a while (self included) but it just hasn't been realized. It's entirely possible it survives a significant amount of time for it to become a necessary part of BTC, whether that's ultimately good or bad.
