Heh, my respect for rw media is generally pretty low. Its just that my previous respect for lw media has been steadily getting shaved away. Probably amplified by the way that I'm exposed to far more of it.

Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to get dismantling of extremists. Rather, I see the opposite, further partisanship where one's extremists are ignored and only the enemy should be criticised. The rapid crystallization of the Pro censorship movement on traditionally free speech supporting circles for their political opponents seems to support this.

> If we get a more transparent and verifiable election system in light of (or perhaps in spite of) the assault on capitol hill, then is it somehow justified?

I don't think anyone should be screaming to melt down the government or set up their own, but let's be clear there is a difference in both degree and kind from BLM to the Capitol Insurrection: BLM protestors were driven by actual instances of racism--dozens, if not hundreds of people killed by police--and fundamentally wanted accountability for that blatant police misconduct, and Capitol Insurrectionists were driven by nothing more than lies and wanted to assassinate the legislative branch and install a dictator. We both know that "more transparency" and a "more verifiable" election system isn't going to make the crazies go away. They rejected election results outright because there must have been fraud.

I was going to comment on that medical one. The domain experts I know don't delve into how the tech works from an implementation standpoint. They know the UX that is needed and they are better leaders / managers. They also devote 100% to their company. I've experienced doctors, lawyers, real estate ppl to want to run the company as a side project and have dictatorial control.

Net neutrality has never been about freedom of speech in the misleading manner the article presents. Net neutrality has always been about removing financial motivations for ISPs and other significant parties to prevent you from accessing content. In other words, preventing them from double-dipping by charging you to access certain websites or apps on top of the monthly fee you pay to access the internet.

It's always been the case that you could simply chose to access a different site if you're not inclined to enjoy its content. Parler doesn't change any of that, because it's been booted off platforms that have competition that can nevertheless be accessed by you, as long as net neutrality is in place. In other words, Parler can, and will likely move to another hosting provider, that you might be able to access in the future because of net neutrality, otherwise your ISP could demand a ransom to reach the shady hosting provider Parler is bound to use in the future.

I've been doing basically this voluntarily since the middle of March. I haven't stepped inside a building except a Walgreens once to get a flu vaccine.

My own parents have only visited twice, and we only visited outside my front yard. I haven't seen any friends in person except for two brief times when they dropped something off at the house, and we talked outside with masks on.

But then again, I live in the US, and we just officially crossed 400,000 deaths due to the virus, compared to less than 1,000 in Australia, it looks like. I can understand it would be more difficult to adhere to when the virus is so under control where you're at, but those lockdowns might be a big reason why.
Basically every new lisp that comes out has a big bullet point of features and included in the list of features is a link in the README about static type checking. They all invariably raise the hope of a statically typed lisp for the given use case, then clicking through to the linked heading say “this project isn’t focusing on static types”. It’s Lucy and Charlie with the football. If you’re developing a lisp and you’re not interested in a static type system, not mentioning it is good enough. Making it a big headline only to yank it away in the rest of the text is just a disappointing setup.

I love Julia-the-language, but the ecosystem is... weird. I'm not at all a fan of how some packages try to install non-Julia stuff for you behind the scenes by default as mentioned in TFA. It's a surprising default and it makes a mess of your system that is hard to clean up.

GNU R and Common Lisp (especially Quicklisp) already made these design mistakes, and let's please not repeat them. The initial of friendliness "do everything interactively right in the REPL" quickly gives way to "arggghhh".

Edit: on second thought, I guess there is a fine line to be drawn here. We are already accustomed to R, Python, Node, Ruby, etc. building C stuff at package installation time. I don't have a great sense of where to draw the line, but somehow I feel the Julia convention crosses it.
Thank you; I really appreciated this comment. I’m feeling much the same way, and it’s been in my mind a lot lately. I think the heart of the issue is a failure to see the forest for the trees, so to speak. People look at each thing in isolation and say, “it’s not that big a deal”, but somehow (especially surprising for folks who frequent HN) fail to see the larger patterns.
Wouldn't that be more likely just a large increase in reserves? We know reserves are higher. There also seems to be a shortage of currency in circulation due to COVID affecting the ability to print new bills as old bills come in.
Not necessary, but the source used for the images displayed (there are others on the website explaining what it does) has a bias in that direction which is stronger then the bias you find in e.g. Animes on crunchyroll or similar.

EDIT: It also a very reasonable source as it's very hard to get large amount of anime/manga images which mostly are in color, which more importantly are tagged and you know you will most likely not get in trouble for using them.

New Evidence Points to Riot Conspiracy
Nano, and many other projects, have much better and efficient tech than BTC. The problem with most of them are the screwups in various proportions (premines, developer fee, foundations), and how they are developed.

BTC development is RFC based, and users approve by running own nodes, and miners have to comply in between. Until a project comes along which doesn't try to swindle its user base BTC will stay dominant.
I didn't run outside last week, but that's because we can get a good view of the circle we live on from our front window.

We've had a number of thefts in our city, especially since the pandemic started, so we've been keeping an eye open for our fellow neighbors.

(Thefts have mostly been kids, seemingly using them for temporary transportation, joy riding, and a case earlier this year of a possible ring taking nicer vehicles. One from today: https://madison.com/wsj/news/local/crime-and-courts/18-year-...

I believe earlier today I saw mention of them, or another stolen RAV4 going 120, likely on our beltline.)
Chrome's "Recent Tabs" works like this across platforms. It is a feature I miss in Firefox.

They have both recently put existing tabs in the omnibox suggestions, which is a huge quality of life improvement.
tldr, they think a large portion of the growth is due to a regulation change in April that is causing banks to report savings accounts and other similar accounts in a category that is counted as M1. Graphs indicate that M2 growth is more steady, even though M1 is a component of M2. Which indicates that it is basically just being redistributed from M2 to M1.
>nobody seems to be able to agree on exactly what Terrorism is,

I don't think that's true. Without looking anything up, I'd define terrorism as a tool to advance political goals through the use of violence and intimidation to create fear/terrorize target groups.

That's a very general description, of course. However, I think it sums up "terrorism" pretty well.

I'll now go and look up some definitions and see if I'm right. Please stand by...

"the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion"[0]

"the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes."[1]

"Terrorism, the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective."[2]

As you can see above, from the English language definition of the word standpoint, my definition seems accurate.

That said, legal definitions of 'terrorism' by various governments (as well as sub-classes of terrorism) are not as clearly defined. For example (not including quotes, as they're all fairly long):

US Law[3] Defines "international" and "domestic" terrorism separately.

The UK[4] has it's own definition as well.

As does the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.[5]

However, all of these include the more general definition I and the various dictionaries/encyclopedia quoted put forward.

So, no. I think we all, in general, agree what "terrorism" is. The difference is in how legal codes treat such activities.

It's possible that I'm missing the point here. If so, please elucidate that statement.

>It's not hope; ARM64 is compatible with ARM64 by definition

Linux, mac or windows ARM64 binaries are not cross compatible by definition, thus my question. Is everyone excited to run a Graviton supported Linux distro on these M1s or is there something else?

I would also be surprised if every M1 graphics feature was fully supported on these Amazon chips.

If we're talking about cross compatibility then we can't use any binaries compiled for any M1 specific features either...So no. Its not compatible by definition.
You're right to remind us about the cognitive biases relating to in-groups and out-groups[1], but let's remember that in the context of this thread, the original comment about "idiots" was:

"These people are idiots. Bringing their cellphones, recording video of themselves committing felonies and then posting them online."

It doesn't seem that the commenter was branding every voter for the opposing candidate an idiot, just the specific group of people who shared evidence of themselves committing crimes.

> Very few people are idiots. Most people are lucid.

I would question this. The average IQ is by definition 100. But that's not much at all! And there are 50% even below this line.

If one has a look at for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_the_United_States it get's even more worrisome. A large part of the US population is actually illiterate. In other parts of the world it looks even worse!

We as a species would have solved most of our issues thousands of years ago if the average dude out there wouldn't be so incredibly dumb. And if you think about it a little bit, and judge form "normal" behavior around you, it's frightening how stupid people are actually. (Just put on the TV for a quick recap).

If you're here on this site chances are high that you're smarter than the average. Looking form this position it may be hard to acknowledge all that stupidity around you because "No, they can't be such dumb, nobody can be such dumb". But in fact they are even dumber than you could imagine...
This one is pretty good ;-)

The founders of BLM are “trained Marxists“ in their own words. By definition, they advocate overthrowing democracy. That’s what Marxism is all about.
I mostly agree. However it is a sad state of mind for most people, because web browsers provide an app interface for many purposes. There are so many sites that I don’t want to use the crappy available app for- if the company can’t make a good website, I’m always dubious it can code a decent app.

Then you're not even trying to see any perspective but your own. "Terrorist" should mean violent, radical extremists. If you're saying that all of the protestors are terrorist then you're either loosening the definition of terrorism to mean anyone who commits a federal crime, or you're saying that all of those people at the rally were ready to start gunning people down.

The relationship with the innocent bystanders is the same that I said before -- intent. The people who went to protest outside are protestors. The people who went to break into the capital and steal, march, whatever, are insurrectionists. The people who went with weapons are terrorists.

It's already accurate to call them insurrectionists, why add controversy to it by calling them terrorists?

I agree it would be better as an OS level thing and for me personally I'd want the option to have to grant the permission for an app to access the camera every time. Unfortunately I'm not sure how that would be enforced for most apps. For example a browser, my browser runs pretty much until I reboot so if I gave it permission once it would still have permission until I quit. So it seems like the browser needs a permission system on to of the OSes. OS is per app, browser is per domain/page/tab something.

Edit. I see that you were probably responding to "Are those opinions shared by the scientific community?", in which case yes you make a valid point. However it still holds that this paper was from 2006, we're in a much better position today in many places to accomplish work remotely. Many assumptions are in fact not met. I'll keep my original comment as is below:

It is immaterial that D. A. co-authored that back in 2006. It was a different time, and the measures that he is professing against have _demonstrably_ proven to be effective.

The paper gives suggestions based on many assumptions that don't hold considering the implemented rules. But they're just suggestions. Offering this paper in the face of demonstrable evidence that these measures do in fact work seems a little irrational in my perspective.
What else is needed to make that case is actually incitement. He did no such thing, although the speech was obviously irresponsible. Here in the States incitement has a strict legal meaning and its conditions are nowhere near satisfied by his speech.

Facebook suspended President Trump following the mob attack on Congress. But the platform allowed organizing for the pro-Trump rally, as well as the spread of conspiracy theories and militant extremism that drove the rioters.

Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg made headlines for saying the mob attack on the U.S. Capitol was “largely organized” on other platforms, suggesting Facebook had done better than others at taking down dangerous content.

Not only is that assertion false, according to research by the Tech Transparency Project (TTP), but it ignores the fact that Facebook spent the past year allowing election conspiracies and far-right militia activity to proliferate on its platform, laying the groundwork for the broader radicalization that fueled the Capitol insurrection in the first place.

A few years ago, in an attempt to increase productivity, I used a screen recorder that took a screenshot every 10 seconds and played it back at the end of every day. So I had a timelapse of how I was spending my time -- mostly online. It was very enlightening.

I've worked in facility maintenance since 1985. If maintenance isn't completed in a timely fashion the cost goes up, but also the risk of unexpected failure. In my experience, maintenance isn't authorized because of two main reasons:ignoring the problem or management being afraid to spend the money for the jobs. The money is in the budget, they just don't want to be seen as a "spender" to upper management.
