It's already hurting them greatly.

If the US hadn't retreated from diplomacy in favor of acting more like a mob boss, China would have been hurt far more. Most countries are looking to move away from Australia, but the absence of a countervailing power is what's stopping them.

Alternatively, the CCP got more aggressive with their suppressive tactics because of the US's diplomatic retreat, but I dont think this is the case. I think the CCP's behavior is a natural consequence of Xi Jinping basically giving himself a life term. With no opportunity to ever lead the party through a peaceful transfer of power, all the leadership hopefuls will probably be looking for alternative solutions. And even if they aren't, Xi is almost certainly gonna be paranoid that they are, and that would mean increasingly severe crackdowns on the people of the country.
> Not my problem. I don't actually care about you. At all. And never will. I just like virtue signaling while being horrible to everyone poorer than me on some bullshit excuse or other

I feel it's more like:

"I want to care about you, honestly - but I just saw the price tag and now I don't want to seem like I'm being committal while making awkward conversation and trying to find a way out of here, oh, would you look at the time!"

Groupthink-led virtue-signaling is real, but I feel lots of people are being earnest and well-meaning when they talk big, but are ignorant-of the costs of walking-the-walk.
Most folks that I know in Seattle didn't think that CHOP/CHAZ was a good thing, and one of their leaders Raz Simone was heavily criticized for being... well, dumb to put it lightly.

It's okay to criticize both things here. CHOP/CHAZ was clearly wrong, as is throwing a molotov at a police officer. No question about that. The capitol was wrong as well.
How is it that this fictitious bogeyman group has managed to take over portions of Seattle, get two people killed in Seattle, and spend months burning down neighborhoods in Seattle and Portland?
besides commercial aviation, Boeing (which swallowed Douglas and McDonnell Aircraft, Rocketdyne, etc.) is the second largest defense contractor in the world. It's too critical to be allowed to fail. Intel and Global Foundries have the only nearly state-of-the-art foundries far from China.
> I was thinking something along the lines of using a wireless keyboard (I mostly use Vim) with something like Google glass, but not sure how realistic it would be to get a pair of those.

A split keyboard with each half in a pocket to type while walking might not be too impractical. The pockets would have to be big, maybe like the ones in a track jacket.

First you had a decentralized internet, anyone with a computer could put something online, but sharing IP's everywhere was not easy to remember, and some weren't static... So they created DNS and Top Level Domains...

There is a difference, and all the html rendering code being written by google is centralization not standardization.

I don't think the linux comparison makes any sense for this situation. Linux has very little to do with the web experience, where the rendering engine is the core of it. Linus's ability to change world wide web standards on a whim is close to non existent. Google is literally replacing the WWW network stack (a good change mind you, but nonetheless demonstrates the level of power)
Save for heavy lifting in Adobe products those other apps don't meaningfully benefit from higher clock speeds as their operations aren't CPU bound. The high speed Intel chips see an advantage when there's a single CPU bound process maxing out a core. Office and Slack don't tend to do that (well maybe Slack...). Also if you've got multiple processes running full tilt Intel's clock speed advantage goes away because the chip clocks down so as to not melt.

So with a heavy desktop workload with multiple processes or threads the Intel chips aren't doing any better than AMD. It's only in the single heavy worker process situation where Intel's got the advantage and that advantage is only tens of percentage points better than AMD.

So Intel's maximum clock speed isn't the huge advantage it might seem.
What a sad story.
I’ve read that, yet he kept on walking the line. His initial statements always seemed to need clarification later. As I said, he always managed to denounce later after prodding.

From the summer:
https://www.snopes.com/ap/2020/06/28/trump-tweets-video-with...

And this:
https://www.npr.org/2020/06/18/880377872/facebook-removes-tr...

And then stuff like this:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-condemn-white-suprem...

When asked to condemn “white supremacists and right-wing militia groups,” Trump verbally articulated a willingness to do so (“Sure, I’m willing to do that”), but also prevaricated, delayed, and bristled at the request, for example asking “Who do you want me to condemn?” when the terms of the request had already been made clear, and saying “Give me a name, go ahead.” He also swiftly shifted focus from white supremacists (the subject of the moderator’s question to him) to a condemnation of “the left wing.”

While it can be argued that Trump did not unequivocally refuse to condemn white supremacists, he undoubtedly demonstrated a reluctance to do so, one that will be very worrying to many voters. When Trump ultimately got around to issuing his version of the condemnation requested by Wallace and Biden, it was shrouded in ambiguity (“Proud Boys? Stand back and stand by”) and followed by another rapid shift in focus to “antifa and the Left.” Whatever Trump did say, he did not condemn white supremacists.

Unfortunately, because of the pandemic I’ve probably watched, read, and listened to more Trump than his supporters. The only echo chamber I’m in is his own material. His hesitancy around the white supremacist topic has always been alarming.
The article freely mixes "alien civilization" with "alien life." But these are very different! It would be spectacular to find an alien civilization of intelligent robots, even though they would not be alive.

We are alive so we know life is possible. We don't know what other things are possible. But why should the universe need to repeat itself?
Thanks for sharing your point of view.
It is the right thought, aligned to the spirit of open source.
Mine only honks if it's fully locked - i.e. all the doors are closed.

If you leave a door open and lock it it's silent, I guess to tell you it failed.

So it's not a useless feature, although it doesn't have to be an annoying honk, a quiet chime would work as well.
I know this is probably what most users want but I hate the why Chrome's camera/mic permissions work. Your options are

(1) block a domain from camera/mic access

(2) give a domain camera/mic access forever

2 is what people pick. From that point on, that domain, in an iframe, can turn on your camera/mic. That means if messanger.com or meet.google.com or zoom.com wanted to make zoom.com/embed/this/url/as/iframe/to/spy/on/people.html they could, and then sell that service for ads to embed in their ads. They have the permissions needed to turn on the mic/camera whenever they want at that point, no more questions asked.

That bugs me.

Firefox at least has "allow camera access once".

I don't know what a better solution is. One might be mic/camera permission per URL instead of domain. I supposed that's not really any different if you can just append ?dothespything=true

Another might just be that it always asks. It's not like the phone feature of a smartphone has the option to just always answer immediately. Instead you choose whether or not the take the call. Does it need to be any different on a webpage?

PS: I like that webpages have this feature. I like that I can video chat/conference in a sandboxed environment instead of having to install a native app that can spy on me in other ways too. I just wish this permission issue worked differently.
What control?
There's no control, else deadly attacks to the capital no less should not occur.
>So, the original idea there is police in the United States are killing black people for stupid reasons, which is true.

Is it though? Seems to me you're advocating feelings matter more than facts. I believe it would be more accurate to say "police in the United States are killing people for stupid reasons, which is true." while keeping in mind that those incidents are the exception, not the norm. The police shot 28 unarmed people in 2019. On a population of 320 million.

>This paper explores racial differences in police use of force. On non-lethal uses of force, blacks and Hispanics are more than fifty percent more likely to experience some form of force in interactions with police. Adding controls that account for important context and civilian behavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities. On the most extreme use of force – officer-involved shootings – we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account.

https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/fryer/files/empirical_anal...

>We create a comprehensive database of officers involved in fatal shootings during 2015 and predict victim race from civilian, officer, and county characteristics. We find no evidence of anti-Black or anti-Hispanic disparities across shootings, and White officers are not more likely to shoot minority civilians than non-White officers. Instead, race-specific crime strongly predicts civilian race. This suggests that increasing diversity among officers by itself is unlikely to reduce racial disparity in police shootings.

>In 2019 police officers fatally shot 1,004 people, most of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous. African-Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops last year (235), a ratio that has remained stable since 2015. That share of black victims is less than what the black crime rate would predict, since police shootings are a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects. In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African-Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the U.S. and commit about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population.
The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database, down from 38 and 32, respectively, in 2015. The Post defines “unarmed” broadly to include such cases as a suspect in Newark, N.J., who had a loaded handgun in his car during a police chase. In 2018 there were 7,407 black homicide victims. Assuming a comparable number of victims last year, those nine unarmed black victims of police shootings represent 0.1% of all African-Americans killed in 2019. By contrast, a police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.

The average life span of a light auto is 12 years. That’s great if you’re stretching passed that, but there’s no reason to design EVs that last decades when most won’t be in service that long. Better to optimize for making as many as possible, as fast as possible, to crowd out combustion vehicles.

In an accident of sufficient severity, the vehicle will be written off, insurance will pay out, and the owner is off to buy another (probably newer) vehicle. Whatever remains of value will be stripped by salvagers and rebuilders.

TLDR Don’t over optimize for longevity.
> I don’t think Irish or Jewish terrorism was a problem in the US

Both international terrorism (directed at the UK, but sometimes involving direct conflict with the US military) and organized crime-linked terrorism were very big things associated with the Irish in America in the 19th C.

And, on the Jewish side, more recently, Meir Kahane’s Jewish Defense League was a real thing.
Hm. I don't think I was lecturing anyone. I saw a statement that wasn't logically sound based on my thinking i.e. that what Congresspeople said matters in this discussion.

and then I read the speech, and quoted exactly what was "inciting" or could be considered such.

I am sorry if I offended you.
>Far-right terrorism in the US has never really been taken seriously. No one took them seriously.

The FBI, hardly a bastion of left-wingers, has been warning for decades that white supremacists have been attempting to infiltrate police and the military.

When polled 25% of active-duty military personnel say they know at least one.
Thanks for that clarifying link! I still wonder about this, though. Relevant section (c)(1) says:

>No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

I'm hung up on the words "provided by". Facebook's algorithm controls what is presented to each user. They are providing a view of some posts, and not others. Facebook is creating the wall for each user, right?

Or would all this still considered moderation, allowing them to do what they want? Section (c)(2)(B) mentions not being liable for allowing users to control what content is accessed, but doesn't mention when the provider makes decisions like this.

At an extreme, could facebook use their secret algorithm to promote all posts saying "stolen election" to all republicans, demote contrary posts, and still claim claim section 230 protection because they didn't create the posts even though they could choose whatever they want to go viral amongst millions of various posts?
Well, for one, almost 3000 people died in the September 11th attacks. Kind of an important point.
No, Charlie. For the hundredth time, Jewish people were not sent to vocational training camps for violent extremism during WWII. Uyghur are also not being killed. Nice "backbone" tho.

I've unfortunately had the opposite experience with FF send, I still use it all the time (or try to) when I find links on mobile that I want to read on a big screen, or when I have an image url on my laptop that I want to send from my phone via SMS, snapshat, etc. But the delay is just unbearably long and inconsistent. Sometimes (most often when sending desktop to phone) the delay is 15 minutes or more. I've found it a lot easier to use a bookmarklet that uses DDG to generate qr codes, but that only solved sharing in one direction.

I've wondered how send could be so slow but maybe something in my setup is just killing it. More than anything though, I would love an easy way to access my phone's sharing options from my laptop (perhaps an addon button that shows a list of app intents that can receive a url/page).

This is one thing I'm hoping to hack at when I get my Librem.
While that is an interesting article about differing opinions before Pearl Harbor, it conclusively states that public opinion was essentially unanimous afterward. It did not mention anything about censorship, so I’m still a little lost.
My impression was that Republicans were only half-hearted about China as that issue made it's way through President Trump's administration. The general tone I felt was that things like tariffs were tolerated in support of their party's leader, not the tariffs themselves. And the backtracking on sanctions on specific Chinese firms indicated there was little/no significant GOP support pushing President Trump to follow through. The requirement that TikTok sell off its US operations was watered down into a nice lucrative contract for Oracle, though all that's in limbo and the whole issue has lost steam, its fate possibly resting in the courts, or with a new administration that will be dealing with many larger issues.

The molehill -> mountain issue of Hunter Biden's association with a Chinese private equity fund will raise lots of loud rhetoric, but more for partisan in-fighting than action against China.

Meanwhile the US, the West, Corporations will pay lip service to decrying human rights violations and labor conditions. China will accept this as the need to save face, while any stronger action will be avoided to prevent China from flexing its economic muscles against the corporations or countries that rely on their exports. No company wants to be the next hotel chain forced to temporarily take down their website & issue an embarrassing apology. No country wants to be the next Japan, cut off from rare earth exports.

Just look at Hong Kong: Sure the US has receded from such issues in the last 4 years, but it's not like any other country did anything more than express their displeasure in various diplomatically acceptable ways.
At some point, looking good and doing good tend to part ways. You know someone's real values by which one they choose at that juncture.

Far too many people double down on the looking good option wile being actively horrible. The degree to which I get downvotes instead of assistance for trying to make my life work when I talk about my firsthand experience is evidence of how common this is and it's gone on a lot of years.

It's gone on long enough that I'm all out of patience for sympathetic explanations about how people mean well. When push comes to shove, far too many of them only want to be seen as good people and don't actually give a damn about anyone but themselves. That's the entire point of spouting nonsense they don't personally back up and walk the walk on.
On the policy/enforcement side, NY had indoor dining open until wayy later than CA did in early winter, despite having worse numbers and a much worse trajectory. (CA overtook NY again and now SoCal is screwed, but this was before that).

I do think that there's some non-trade-off potential here via the micro-targeting approach they started while I was there. I was living in Soho around the time that Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn were having outbreaks, and I really appreciated that neighborhoods super far from me with relatively little cross-travel (esp with the low subway ridership at the time) didn't unnecessarily fuck up my ability to go for dinner with a friend. By contrast, LA/CA tends to shut things down at a much higher level, so outbreaks in East LA affect policy in my parents' neighborhood on the Western border of LA County.

Easy, my friend. All it has to do is deny its existence, and ensure that this denial is reflected up and down the stack. Under such cover, it can do anything, and blame anything that goes wrong on its opponents.
PowerShell is simply inverting the defaults: Linux/Bash scripts output formatted text by default, but sometimes have options to return objects (often as JSON text strings). PowerShell cmdlets by default return objects (in a custom binary/in-memory format, but convertible to/from JSON, among other options like CSV and XML), but might optionally return formatted strings. (PowerShell also offers tools out of the box similar to but different from jq for exploring/converting/navigating objects.)

In general when working in PowerShell you don't have to look up if there is a command with a --json flag (or equivalent) that does what you need to do, you can assume that objects are the default response and move on to working with them with PowerShell's jq equivalents. (Obviously, that makes discovery generally easy.)
There's a lot more to come out on this part of the story in the coming year.

I missed the part where BLM advocated overthrowing democracy. At worst they advocated to defund police and held obnoxious signs. And despite the right wing narrative, the people carrying signs and doing sit ins were not the ones rioting and looting, but rather getting their ass beat by police.
The one thing that DIDN'T happen in a widespread fashion, as far as I can tell, was the threat of militant groups "backing up" police as election security. Of course there are always isolated incidents, but my impression is that election day itself was surprisingly free of incidents of physical intimidation.
