> but shutting down domestic oil and gas production anytime soon would take a shotgun to the economy.

You should watch the relevant answer from Biden[0], the Brietbart article is heavily biased and misleading.

His position is simple and data driven, it is no longer economically viable and the market will no longer create any new coal or oil fire plants in America.

To fact check Biden: "Under the 25-year contract ... Los Angeles ... would pay less than 2 cents per kilowatt-hour ... the lowest price ever paid for solar power in the United States, and cheaper than the cost of electricity from a typical natural gas-fired power plant"[1]. This includes the cost of production and storage.

But what about other parts of the country with less sun? "solar and wind energy will dominate America’s new generation in 2020, making up 76% of new generation ..., while coal and natural gas will dominate 2020 retirements with 85% of plant closures."[2]. And this was 2020 while Trump was helping the fossil fuel industry.

Apple has entered the chat. I am sure you’ve heard the argument before: Google is an advertising company. Using your data to sell you products is why they have your data. The more they can get, the higher their profits.

Apple is a hardware company. They don’t want your data and store it begrudgingly because to them it’s nothing but liability. Whenever they can, they will encrypt your data in a way they can’t access in order to not be liable. Their devices are the product, not you.

Based on the above, which company would you trust more?
This is interesting. I was the technical founder for a data startup that used NLP, elastic and some other stuff for analysis. It's still active, growing and approaching profitability, is used by fortune 500 companies and has had some media attention. However, I've never been approached for a related role and have never been invited after applying for similar roles.

Maybe my resume is bad, maybe my experience doesn't really fit anywhere, but I thought it was an interesting observation in light of this article.
> Neo-Nazi groups often can't find private venues willing to host their rallies

But calling people who are not Neo-Nazis "Neo-Nazis" makes you the asshole. It was the DNC that used antifa goons to burn US cities for 2 months, not Neo-Nazis.

We know this is true because it took Pelosi 2 months to denounce the city riots, while 1 week to impeach Trump.
Just because you have the legal right to do something doesn't mean you should do it or that you should be immune to criticism for doing it.

For example, in an at-will employment state, an employer can legally fire you for looking at them funny. No one would argue that an employer shouldn't have the right to terminate an employee if they were bad for the company, nor would anyone object to the employer being able to determine what is good or bad for the company. Nevertheless, such an act is a dick move and the employer should be heavily criticized for doing it.
Setting fire to a courthouse is already against the law. What benefit is there in calling it Terrorism?

Are there things which are currently legal that will become illegal under this 'domestic terrorism framework' that is being discussed? What are these things which are currently legal that will be addressed by a 'domestic terrorism framework'.

Were the result Church Hearings justified or did they go too far in the restrictions they placed on law enforcement?

One of my favorite science-fictions was imagining the Sea Slice, repurposed as a deployable floating mini-solar power plant. To actually be able to get anywhere, you'd need a gobsmackingly large amount of power storage, or you just take it day by day, charge for a couple hours, go, charge for a couple hours, go.

Sure wish I had a million dollars sitting around when the ship went on sale for $280k. And a couple more friends with free time & well-equipped workshops.

Don't try to understand transistors in concepts you're familiar with, such as cars and bananas. A transistor is neither a car, nor a banana. You have to have a new kind of understanding, one that transcends such mundane, familiar concepts.

Get it?

Feynman explained nothing by saying that particles are "not like" two other familiar concepts. That's flipping two bits in an infinite set of to "false". You can't gain understanding by flipping all but one remaining bit in that infinite set to false! Particles aren't like tiny springs either, or tiny metronomes, or tiny bolts of lightning, or... an infinite list of things they aren't!

Similarly, Feynman's Path Integral method is trotted out as a mental model of how particles "work" at the Quantum Level, but this is literally just a mathematical trick for solving a class of problems efficiently. This is not my opinion, Feynman said so. It's not a "model of the world", it is literally just a specific case of Monte Carlo Integration!
Pretty soon companies are going to start realizing that the 4x DEs can largely replace that 1 DS, and they will be more than happy to do so.

I went into DE because I was kind of forced into the space, but I'd strongly prefer doing full-stack DE. Anymore, I still have the opportunity to build models, they just aren't client-facing stuff, but instead are kind of Data Plumber Bots that help me do my job better so I can waste more time building other fun bots that I can't otherwise be paid for.

Seems like a waste of resources, but my manager could have another DS tomorrow, but my role would take months to fill.

The USA is 330M people. What the journalists and politicians report has nothing to do with whether it is a real concern or not.

There have always been anarchists and these types of people that don't like the current administration. We've had Presidents shot. We have crazy cults. We have unstable people with agendas. Hell, we had a nasty civil war before.

It's not a real concern to the nation's republic despite what some wish.

It seems you aren't a fan of the US. What's your stance on Nazi Germany? Imperial Japanese puppet regimes? And even if a dictator only screws over their own citizens - should they get to do as they please because it's their country?

I don't agree with every regime change. And personally I'd rather let most countries deal with their own affairs. But sometimes it's necessary.

The recent events are a non-issue to our republic. I know that will displease some that would love the US to completely unravel. But it's not going to happen.

Testosterone is linked to violence, in that stronger people tend to have higher testosterone levels and people with higher testosterone levels tend to be more aggressive.

I'm not aware of a lithium mine in California. North Carolina was where most of the world's lithium was mined and refined.

Pretty much all mines for lithium closed in the US because it was simply cheaper to get from either South America brine and then Australian spodumene mining.

While the US stopped mining lithium however there is still a lot of lithium refinement in North Carolina. And more refinement capacity is already planned both there and other places in the US.

The main reason it is in China is because China made EV and the supply chain a priority.

However, most of the downstream refinement of the downstream for actual battery materials actually happens in Korea. So a lot of lithium is mined in West Australia, transported to China and then the Korea/Japan until it is shipped to Nevada where it turns into a battery.

In the next few years you should see the whole supply-chain from mining to battery in the US.

I remember having a bit of difficulty a few years backs too in order to get Wine installed and ready.

According to https://wiki.debian.org/Wine however it should on x86_64 in theory be as simple as the following in order to install both the 64 and 32-bit versions:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update
sudo apt install \
wine \
wine32 \
wine64 \
libwine \

Notice in particular the dpkg --add-architecture i386. This enables multiarch.

So she sets the record straight over 20 years later, only after being appointed by Biden, that she was only pretending to be racist. Yeah... sure..

From your own link:
Later, in an interview with The Crimson, Clarke suggested that "The information [contained in the letter] is not necessarily something we believe, but some information that we think those pursuing a true understanding of The Bell Curve theory should either address, ignore or refute."

So it's false to say she is only addressing the matter now; she responded to questions about it at the time.

While claiming to have been unable to detect any irony in the letter co-authored by Clarke, the Crimson editorial is pseudo-objective at best, and at worst comes off as an example of insincere concern trolling.

Wealthy nations are definitely more likely to engage in war. Especially if there is something to be gained from it.

However, I'm not referring to the wealth of the countries themselves, but the concentration of wealth within them. Both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were desperately poor with a starving citizenry. Germany from paying reparations completely devaluing their currency and Japan from a lack of natural resources. The empires of the 18th and 19th century would be third world states by our standards. Life was cheap and people dying en masse wasn't a big deal.

Modern USA hardly even engages in full scale warfare since Vietnam. Now we have a few limited engagements against small countries without any real backers. Even then the tiny US losses from those wars has killed our taste for them. Even Donald Trump is disengaging from them.

It's hard to send a bunch of people to die when they are the ones holding the wealth of your nation. It's much easier to send the poor huddled masses if they exist.

This is a bit myopic. YC doesn't imply success, and obviously not all YC companies are successful. But I have enough of an "upper-echelon" network (UCLA, Berkeley, USC, Caltech, LA startup scene) to know how priceless a network like the YC founders one would be. Having smart, motivated, critical people willing to give you the time of day is pretty key in refining ideas, reaching out to potential customers, or hiring. Not to mention getting funded (if you need/want to).

IMO, one of the key mistakes of technical founders is not networking enough. Wish I could go back 10 years ago to my early 20s and tell myself to just go out more and network.

If you look at photos from the 90s and from the last couple of years people were very obviously much healthier in the 90s. Maybe it wasn't optimal, but without further evidence I'm going to believe it is closer to optimal than where we are now.
Twitter is helping the argument that platforms are to be content moderators. This kills 230. This will entrench Twitter as one of the few social media services capable, due to the need to moderate at scale.
Again, Apple has a much better track record than Google when it comes to privacy.

My favorite Tcl trick is a single-line template file processing system.

puts [ subst [ read [ open [ lindex $argv 0 ] ] ] ]

(Hint: `subst` applies Tcl's string substitution function, which substitutes variables like $varname and Tcl commands enclosed in square brackets. So, this one line program can be used as a templating system that is somewhat like PHP or eRuby.)
I think a lot of that is the "problems they are solving" and "problems they left behind for the developer". JQuery was built to solve "browser compatibility issues" and left behind things like "component structures of code/code organization", "data-flow organization", and more as out of scope.

Browsers have since mostly fixed "browser compatibility issues" at the standards level, so that problem technically no longer needs solving.

As applications have grown larger those other things that were out of scope for JQuery have become bigger and bigger problems that developers face. (Of the big two I mentioned React solves one, Redux solves the other.)

Some people see JQuery as a "cardinal sin" for the first issue: browsers have already "solved" this, this is a deadweight because it fixes a problem I no longer have. They would have fewer problems with React/Redux/whatever because they solve new problems.

Some people see JQuery as a "cardinal sin" as much for the latter issue: because JQuery was so unopinionated on code structure, data flow, component structure, it led to a lot of real world code that was "JQuery spaghetti" littered with anti-practices like relying heavily on global or might as well be global variables for state information, with no structure to which code might impact which variables and when. Componentizing a JQuery system was often a lot of hard work that JQuery itself didn't help with (and given it's own common usage as a window.$ global with sometimes surprising bits of hidden state inside it, in some cases directly hurt those efforts). Given libraries like React or Redux were designed to solve some of the problems that JQuery once created, it also seems clear why some developers might be very vocally antagonistic to JQuery but have no problem bloating a project with tools that solved those problems and/or have more structure and opinions on building "good" componentized/compartmentalized structures.

I feel this way about all similar licensing changes (Redis, Elastic among many others). It's basically a large company vs much larger company fight, and the losers are the thousands of individual contributors not affiliated with either one who have worked for free and can no longer use their work in the way they want. Moves like this are definitely eroding trust in open source in the long term.

Note I did all the experiments many years ago, on i386, and using NetBSD's venerable bootloader. For the Pi, some things will differ obviously.

Not only does this type of setup give freedom for experiments (which NetBSD really does in general) but it makes expts easier. You can put multiple different kernels on the USB stick and reboot into each of them to test pros and cons of different release versions and/or configurations. Or you might boot one computer with kernel A, pull out the stick, insert into another computer and boot kernel B and run them simultaneously. No HDDs needed.

I might do a writeup; some users have done writeups on "disk-less" in the distant past. I have some simplification tricks no one has ever written about. However NetBSD has such great documentation relative to almost every other project and the developers tend to be "quietly competent" in the best way. It was never a culture of "HOW-TO's" as you will find in Linux. Studying the source and following source-changes and other mailing lists is better than any writeup, IMO.

It is like the old saw about teaching a man to fish. It is worth learning. Things do not change in NetBSD so fast or dramatically that what you have learnt will be later considered "obsolete".

I think you are off base on this, I think there is a small contingent of the far right that are white identity adherents. The rest get labeled in with them, because they have not been vocal in their distancing themselves from that contingent, thus groups like the Proud Boys get lumped in with the white supremacist's and white identity adherents. While the Proud Boy's are a radical alt-right group, white identify is not their binding fabric. The embracing of masculinity is, they have member from all races and explicitly call out that they are not a white nationalist organization. The alt-right is a coalition, of the fringe just like the far-left. Most tolerate each other under enemy-of-my-enemy mentality.

I think your interest in computers was inherent. It was the same for me and I bet same for many others in this sub.

I always felt something was not right with me and took every opportunity to be normal, socialize, blend in.

In the end, I became a lawyer. The only computer skill I use for my job is Microsoft Office. The work drains my energy so I don't have much much left for programming. Even though I try, I still can't fully blend in, people notice something's off with me.

I seriously suspect being a computer nerd is something inherent, we are drawn to computers because we are genetically coded this way. How else could you explain spending tons of hours as a child trying to learn programming without any guidance or external motivation?
