American-style "coffee" is harshly roasted at high temperatures and then ground to a powder in a destructive processing machine. Finally, it is diluted with water and even mixed with sugar to make it more palatable.

Europeans prefer to chew on a few green coffee beans throughout the day as a long-lasting source of clean, non-jittery, all-natural energy.
In the context, the "be peaceful" is a dog whistle that screams "war and rioting", because it was padded with hundreds of "stole the election", "unfair", "fraud" and what not.

God. I thought people on HN were reasonable. Even here you have idiots who take one single word out of a barrage of lies and disinformation (for months on end, encouraging violence) and hold it as some sort of beacon of morality and proof of innocence.

It is people like you for whom those words are interspersed within speeches, so that you stay by the sidelines when holocausts and coups happen.

Grow up.
Maybe this?

This is only my American perspective and wouldn't pertain to all wealthy countries, but I don't think it would be fair to categorize the US as having a free market. We have a market that has been increasingly weaponized to continue the old traditions of Jim Crow and segregation. Lots of people will ask "WTF happened in 1971?" ( https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/ ), but I find it impossible to do that without considering its implications around the Fair Housing Act of 1968 or the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974. Modern America uses the economy to make the population segregate itself.
Crowds would have dispersed pretty quickly if the cops started shooting

I totally love it. Being an introvert and a digital-first person this is amazing for me. Even I miss some social interactions now and then, but productivity wise, mental health, feeling useful and happy this is insanely good for someone like me.

I dread the day the world returns to normal from THIS perspective, but of course longing for the sake of business owners, everyone who feels bad in this environment and so on.

At least for a moment my way and preferences has become the norm, and perhaps people who prefer the other normal will somewhat appreciate the constant struggles people like me have in the normal world instead. How they feel now in isolation, I feel every day of my life in regular society that they long for and that is the norm.

In fact, the feds had besieged Ruby Ridge in the first place due to Randy Weaver's far-right connections. They wanted to flip him as an informant on the Aryan Nations [0], a white nationalist group with ties to deadly terror cells like The Order [1]. To this end, they threatened him with the weapons charge that led to the the siege at Ruby Ridge, and ultimately to the shooting deaths of Samuel and Vicky Weaver. So far-right terror was taken seriously pre-OKC, but afterwards it was taken very seriously.

The 2017 PBS documentary "Oklahoma City" was my intro to this subject matter [2]. Excellent film, gripping presentation.

I addressed what happened to the downvote button elsewhere:

---------

I recently went through some old logs and discussions from 7/8 years ago. People actually talked about how important it was to upvote content and follow rediquette.

That discussion died because you have to enforce rediquette and the "honor code" fails when people see that abusing the code goes unpunished. This means that upvote downvote become like/dislike.

To me this implies that if you want to make upvotes work, then you need to select your community for rule compliance.
Or the incident at the white House that had the secret service moving trump to a bunker for his safety. Note that left aligned media considered this a good thing.

Contrasting this to the reaction to capitol hill does not bode well to me.

“It’s fake news combined with people with shitty lives combined with no sense that the system cares.”

I draw you to the last line of what I wrote, where I clearly indicate that there is a lot wrong with America, and that fake news is only a part of what is going on.

It almost seem as though you seem to to be arguing that fake news plays no role in anything.
It is a throwback to the Prosperity Gospel and, before that, the Protestant concept of predestination-- unfortunately prevalent ideas in the early settlers & founders of the US. Basically it says that God favors the faithful & devout with prosperity. Therefore prosperity is a sign of God's favor, and anyone who is not prosperous is therefore immoral/bad/lesser etc. Such things are more complicated than a simple analysis, but it's one of the root causes behind the idea that "poor people are poor by choice"

Perhaps more perniciously, since this doctrine says that the prosperous are those blessed by God, then becoming prosperous is the main goal: the means by which that happens are irrelevant. Cheat/Lie/Con etc., but become prosperous? It must be okay, because the prosperous are blessed by God.

Curious to see how the new administration will handle this. They will need to gather personal identity information to determine if you are a US citizen which is scary. Will certainly enable AWS/GCP/Azure to curtail all my free trial accounts I imagine.

On the other hand, they do not define US IaaS very well, so I am curious if GCP/AWS will be exempt since I think they are technically shell companies registered in Jersey or Isle of Man or offshored on paper.
I guess they will do something similar to CNPM.

"Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) shall propose for notice and comment regulations that require United States IaaS providers to verify the identity of a foreign person that obtains an Account. These regulations shall, at a minimum: (a) set forth the minimum standards that United States IaaS providers must adopt to verify the identity of a foreign person in connection with the opening of an Account or the maintenance of an existing Account, including: [...] (A) the identity of such foreign person and the person’s information, including name, national identification number, and address.

> Not the government. And why should anyone inflict their view of morality on anyone else?

To be clear, are you taking the position of the anarchist here? I mean no disrespect, I only wish to understand your position. I think most people would say, with various exemplars, that the government can legitimately have a blacklist maintained over certain speech, very much in the same way it can have one over certain actions.

This is not an appeal to popularity, it is a statement of the non-anarchist position. You may think it is invalid, but by the same token, I think that consistently you'd have to see laws against murder or child rape to be invalid.
Seems like a really complicated kill switch.
> The theft of your most sacred rights will not be broadcasted to you before it happens.

I’ve seen plenty of people actively working to suppress voting rights, free speech and other free expression rights, due process rights, the right to keep and bear arms, and other rights I and/or many others view as “sacred” who openly broadcast the restrictions they want to impose on those rights and the claimed justifications for them.

Of course, if you want to argue against an occult conspiracy against rights, that’s fine, too, but its better if you provide some reason other than “If it did, you wouldn’t see it” to believe that occult conspiracy exists.

It's because it was an old post.
"We need more than deplatforming" is the literal headline, and they support it in the post:

"Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms. Additional precise and specific actions must also be taken"

Note: More than. Additional. Also.
There is already a huge gulf between how BLM protests were treated and how the capitol protest was. There’s a photo from a BLM protest in DC where the Lincoln Memorial steps (not the capitol building, which is widely-stated misinformation) had lines of National Guard troops stationed on it.

Compare that with the tiny Capitol Police force guarding the Capitol building while one of the most important state functions was in progress, with much of the executive branch succession and the legislative branch in attendance. National Guard troops were denied both in advance and for a while during the ensuing riot, citing concerns about “the optics.”

Any meaningful discussion of protest response and overreach, potential or actual, has to account for that disparity.

As you said, some rioters were “planning terrible deeds,” which increasingly clearly means “kidnapping or executing congresspeople and the VP for not keeping DJT in power.” This raises the issue to the level of sedition (organized incitement to rebellion) and insurrection (actual acts of violence against the state or its officers).

Maybe “terrorism” doesn’t broadly apply here, and it’s better to refer to the capitol invaders as “insurrectionists.” Trump, the other government supporters of the protest, and any private backers should be labeled as “seditionists.” I am less likely to push for a “terrorism” label if I can be confident that the other two labels will be applied and prosecuted as such.

see "how to ?"
3. Since, the product deals only with fundings there are few
principles/templates for every funding stage and would love
to see any documentations for the same atleast from YC
alumni
4. I wish if there were any mandatory templates/steps to cover
in intro till closure.
5. Either way, a great resource for me to keep a tab!
Thanks guys, All the best! :)

I agree with you. I also feel ill after eating KFC. It seems more greasy than something like Popeyes. My body feels like it has had a sucker punch after eating KFC so I try to stay clear. My theory is that it is a combination of something in the breading they use + the method of frying.

KFC uses a Pressure Fryer: https://youtu.be/9ZLKj2a_OPM?t=546

Wendys and Chickfila also use a pressure fryer but notably their sandwiches are not dripping with oil when you order them.

Here is the same pressure fryer Wendys uses but to fry chicken wings instead of sandwich patties, noice that they are dripping with oil: https://youtu.be/7owZz26W1_U?t=176

Popeyes uses a standard fryer plus a thick coating of buttermilk(as seen earlier in the video) and their chicken seems to come out cleaner: https://youtu.be/31dGYRnhS8k?t=113

Seems like Pressure fryers + breading might be the culprit but really, this is just a wild guess. If there are any fried chicken masters here, feel free to jump in.
Beijing[1], as China's richest city and capitol, has a GDP per capita is $38,000. That's comparable to the GDP per capita found in other middle income capitals, like Istanbul[2] ($45k) or Mexico City[3] ($43k)[3] or Bangkok[4] ($36k).

Certainly substantially behind the level of development found in the capitols of highly developed nations, like Washington DC[5] ($85k), London ($74k), or Tokyo[6] ($69k).

I've really enjoyed the extra time with my six-year-old daughter rather than sending her off to school. Having her around the house and able to come into my office for random cuddles during the working day is a joy.

Seems like the goal should be to make games people want to replay for years instead if resell. I’m not a hardcore gamer, but I have dabbled on most platforms and all I still own are my NES, SNES, and N64... and all the games I ever bought for them, because from Metroid to Wave Runner to Ken Griffey Jr Baseball to any Zelda game they are a blast to replay solo or with friends. Nintendo seems to be able to develop games that resonate with people as opposed to being flashes in the pan.

Yeah, elasticsearch making security a paid add on (with no "free" usage level) was a huge misstep in my opinion.

You can however go back in our history to times with lesser and lesser regulation of markets-- 100 years ago, 150... And you'll still see similar problems.
bash syntax is terse enough that it's practical at the interactive command line. Thus once you take it up, you take it up for scripts AND daily interactive use. For system operators who use both frequently, between these two you quickly internalize the abbreviations. I can see it being an issue for infrequent users.

While it's not terrible, I find powershell pretty frustrating. I started off enthusiastic, especially given how archaic cmd.exe is. As mentioned elsewhere though, the advice not to use aliases, coupled with unbelievably long command names that I hate typing and can't always recall exactly - is it convert-to-csv? to-csv? no it's convertto-csv - I can never remember and I don't feel I should need to use ISE to work around this. This utterly prevents me from internalizing.

Even worse, until v3 apparently, iterating over an empty array would fail out (iterate once on $null instead of not iterating at all) and had to be protected with an explicit check. I was on v2, and it was at this point that I completely checked out and decided it wasn't worth learning and that I'd wasted my time. In general I could do what I needed with either cygwin or win32 cpython and those didn't make me feel like clawing my own eyes out.

It seems the situation has improved, but I just don't see any reason to take it up again, ESPECIALLY on linux, unless I _have to_ do dotnet stuff, and even if I do I'll explore every other available option first (ironpython? f#? is there a dotnet tcl?) TBH I avoid dotnet anyways given Microsoft's past (EEE) and current (telemetry, start menu ads, etc) behavior. Fool me once etc etc etc.
fixed costs are sublinear.
I'd say intent to kill is what makes them terrorists. What makes this muddied is the varying degrees of intent from all the people who stormed the capital. Some saw it as a chance to kill people. Others just went to protest -- not really unreasonable since we've been having protests nonstop for like a year.

Calling both kinds of people terrorists feels sort of like calling the passengers of the 9/11 flights terrorists too
Google's getting better at removing spam from SERPS but definitely tougher at removing blog spam. Mostly because blogs are getting better at showing the same information from the competition in yet a slightly different way.

Start a blog for your business. Create content that is true and positive about your business. You probably don't want to directly rebut the post in question as that could invoke the Streisand Effect, but point by point educate people about the facts.

Why would you need evidence to refute the idea that 'a free market can solve all problems' That would be an insane thing to assume in the 1st place. Where would you even get that notion from?
Not really. Not all countries are like the US, UK or Canada where elected representatives claim to welcome letters and phone calls from their constituents. In much of Eastern Europe politicians are perceived as being quite uninterested in hearing from their constituents, and even going out of their way to avoid contact with them after being elected. The average citizen feels pretty powerless, and people resort to other ways of showing their demands and rewarding candidates that try to meet them.
Video – Kenneth Stanley – Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned (ML Street Talk)
Special edition! Professor Kenneth Stanley is currently a research science manager at OpenAI in San Fransisco. His interests are neuroevolution, open-endedness, NNs, artificial life, and AI. He invented the concept of novelty search. His key idea is that there is a tyranny of objectives prevailing in every aspect of our lives, society and indeed our algorithms. Crucially, these objectives produce convergent behaviour and thinking and distract us from discovering stepping stones which will lead to greatness. He thinks that this monotonic objective obsession, this idea that we need to continue to improve benchmarks every year is dangerous. He wrote about this in detail in his recent book "greatness can not be planned" which will be the main topic of discussion in the show. We also cover his ideas on open endedness in machine learning.

He once made this assertion while standing in front of a PowerPoint slide that read "It's pronounced 'JIF' not 'GIF'".

It has to be a troll, because no-one smart enough to invent the format is going to look at that slide and go "yep, this strengthens my argument".
> Curious to see how the new administration will handle this.

Probably just rescind the order. It directs the secretary of commerce to develop regs, and the new administration (even if it agrees with the general thrust) will probably want to direct the parameters for any regulations rather than leave them to the preferences of outgoing administration.
I'm gonna be in the minority here and I feel a bit guilty...

but the last year was really good for me. Remote work became more accepted (I've been WFH for 20 years), which opened up stuff outside of SV to me. I got a new job with great people, better pay and cool tech. And I've had more time for hobbies.

I know I'm lucky, but I really can't complain...
> theft from parked cars is the number one problem in most neighborhoods

You forgot to add "in the USA" (or some other country). Where I live (Japan), AFAIK, theft from cars is practically non-existent. Leaving things in your car visible is not an issue. I don't think I've ever seen a pile of glass from a car window busted the entire time I've spent here (14 yrs) where as in SF, several times, I'd walk by Dolores Park or down Folsom and see a pile of glass every 3rd car space.

Once you get used to it living without such theft it's hard not to see places that have lots of theft from car issues as more 3rd world like than 1st. And it's sad that people get so used to it they take it as normal. I used to. In California had my car broken into 5 times and even stolen once.

You're comparing individuals to departments. There are certainly people in HR who have put coworkers first. Depending on the company they may have succeeded or not in those actions. "The dictates of management" are what departments do.
