I don't believe that it simply boils down to "advanced freedom." Although this is a very fraught topic, most sociologists would say the East Asian countries you mentioned generally engage in more "collectivist" modes of decision-making. (To what extent the individuals themselves vs. their cultures are "collectivist" is hotly debated, but I won't wade into that here). To me this seems directly related to the problem at hand: individuals in Japan or Taiwan generally had the freedom to make bad choices, but instead chose not to; individuals in the United States or the UK had the same freedoms but as a whole made different choices.

Just ask yourself - what's the difference between a map and a landscape.
No, the chain of custody starts when the evidence is collected, specifically from where and by what means without that there is no way to establish a CoC.

With these kits there is no way to verify that the DNA swab came from rape victims body or someone’s toothbrush.

This is the problem with these kits, any use of such kit would require a forensic nurse observing the collection, and that each swab is sealed in an evidence tamper bag and then the chain of custody can be established from that point on.

This is no different than any other physical evidence it either needs to be collected from the scene or forensically proven to be connected to it if it was recovered later or by someone else, and in cases when it does the defense will and quite likely successfully get it thrown out.

Law is not like code or math: you don't follow an inexorable algorithm in law to arrive at the only possible interpretation of the law. When you do this kind of analysis and arrive at this kind of absurdity, more often than not, courts will find that the law actually doesn't permit this absurdity.

In this specific case, it's already possible to move jury trials to other districts for difficulty of finding impartial jurors, so it's almost certain that the courts would similarly rule that doing a similar change of venue poses no constitutional issue whatsoever.

How the Moon Landing Was Filmed (2019)
That's what I'm wondering, is there a way to measure how common this situation is? I'd be curious to see
This agrees with what my experience was like last time, thank you!
>How would they have done that?

Kill enough congress members so the election can’t be certified. Elect Trump speaker of the house (speaker doesn’t need to be a member of congress). Since the election wasn’t certified, the constitution declares the speaker (now Trump) becomes President on the 20th.
Congress was sacked while the legislators were in session with the VP. BLM burned down a Wendy's. You really don't see why people would react differently to those events?

These new GCs are amazing technology, but they primarily target pause time, whereas in data processing the primary concern is the “headroom” of extra space in your heap to allow the GC to work efficiently.
Maybe, for a moment, consider that if a lot of smart people are disagreeing with you, and you see the situation as trivially obvious and those disagreeing as having hidden, evil motives, perhaps you should reconsider your perspective.
Your idea is honorable, but do governments have the know-how to do it? It's not only about costs and responsibility, I don't think this could be feasible in most countries, maybe only in China and US.
If you see someone tortured to death, your mirror neuron might experience torture, so does it mean it that a neuron has feelings? Off course not, you're more than the parts of yourself.

D came before Rust and was and is pretty "modern".

Ultimately this depends on what modern means to you, but I'm guessing you can't write the "Tiny RPN Calculator" from the D homepage as concisely[1] - i.e. My point is that Rust isn't the only language that isn't C++

I suppose some people might be surprised that it can be done so easily in Ruby, or seeing that it's a short example gives a reason to check it out rather than if they'd assumed it was a much larger codebase they wouldn't have time to learn from. And all code is to some extent reliant on all sorts of hidden boilerplate - even a simple listen() call in C triggers a huge chain of function calls behind the scenes. And naturally higher level languages have higher levels of abstraction.

> The danger is unreal not because it failed, but because it was obviously going to fail

They came very close to having members in the hands of the mob; I think you very much overestimate what was required for this to succeed. Even if the mob itself was disavowed, simply getting a presiding officer more that would be more sympathetic to the President’s interests int he circumstances (which probably would have taken at least one more removal than “Hang Mike Pence”, but may not have been impractical) would potentially have provided a sufficient pretext for a process in which the Congress would have ended up declaring Trump the winner.

But even if it was “obviously going to fail”, that doesn’t make it not-dangerous (even if the intended violence didn’t have the intended political effects, it still would have been horrific) or not-insurrection.

> If some foreign intelligence unit tries and fails to overthrow your country’s government, that’s insurrection.

No, its a (covert) invasion.

> If it’s the doofus who stole the podium or the guy with face paint and a horned fur hat, not so much.

How about if it is the retired Air Force Lt. Col. with zip ties who was directing action, including efforts at intelligence gathering on members, in the Senate chamber?

Just because the unusual outfits get disproportionate media attention doesn’t mean they were the dominant factor in the insurrection.
If they paid better, sure they could. That would require more taxes though.
I apologize that it appears I targeted you, you're correct you didn't state that and i'm not intentionally addressing you as an individual. My response is by and large to the media and the large population of people espousing that view (including in this thread). In response I'm addressing the same, not you directly so I don't mean to direct ill will or harm, i'm simply trying to project a perspective that is frustrating and often times ignored or belittled.

I watched my friends businesses burn last summer, as well as many other businesses near my home. The common response was "
"we're doing this because we have this right, we're frustrated at the system that did X or Y". None of my friends caused any real or perceived in-equality towards anyone, none of them are racist, all of them as well as I, support the right for individuals to love and marry whomever they want. They were by and large allies, yet someone arbitrarily determined that because their business was there, Insurance would cover and they could loot and burn it. They decided that when they responded in public days later, that they were white males and even if they weren't bad, it was retribution for whatever grievance someone held. Anyone that doesn't believe that those actions, that persisted for months, weren't abhorent and just as destructive to democracy and our country, then you're not being honest with yourselves.

The point is, the media is choosing to doom and gloom this situation when I would argue half of America has had this same perspective for a year. I'm not arguing the merits of either sides grievances, though I think both have many valid points.
Out of curiosity, when was the last time you looked at DataFrames.jl? A huge amount has happened in the last year. Plus, if you want more tidy-like syntax, you can go with Query.jl, (or DataFramesMeta.jl, though that isn't quite finished updating to the the new DataFrames syntax), or of you just want pipes on DataFrame operations, there's Pipe.jl and Chain.jl.

I don't think your comments are harsh, you need what you need and you like what you like. I do mostly data wrangling too, but feel much less constrained with Julia than with tidyr. Sometimes having constraints and one right way to do things is good, but it's not for me.

Also worth noting it's not necessarily on the language developers to do this. Even in R, tidyverse is in packages, not in the base language.
On a sound stage:)
I feel like this explanation is a good step but misses the crux that any combustion process (even with a non-oxygen oxidizer, if that's still called combustion) exists because each broken bond releases enough energy to break the bond of neighboring atoms/molecules with some left over to convert to heat.

The heat is a byproduct of the cascade reaction that allows combustion to occur, which structurally in my mind is very similar to fission processes where neutron bombardment produces excess neutrons to bombard more atoms.

I'm slowly learning the Android IDE. Text editors have the following advantages

- One config for all: no need to specify keybindings for each program, and other settings

- Similarly, multipurpose tool: a text editor can help with most of the programming languages out there, IDEs are generally tailored towards a specific bunch of languages and tools, with little variation possible

- Non-programming tasks: I'm doing an MA in linguistics, and plan to be a researcher; while coding is useful it's only a part of what my text editor helps me with (emacs, in my case, but true even for VSCod{ium,e})

- Can VCS configs along with other dotfiles

- Free software

- Deep customisability helps automate away repetitive tasks add some nifty useful features

- Keyboard first: many IDEs have plugins for this and even embedding but it's never as good as the real deal

Personally I like to pick the best tool for the job and I wouldn't really bother with Emacs for Android or Java or C# etc., but when working with many other environments, customisable text editors are pretty advantageous.

And over that most if not all features you list are possible at least in Emacs (IDK how well they are done in the Vim world but I bet they have some great tools for all that, nvim esp.).

Continuing the analogy: Those coins used to be pure precious metals but whenever a king needed to coin more moneys than precious metals he could afford, he would engage in "money creation" by turning up the percentage of some non-precious metal.

Same strategy, different execution.
I respectfully disagree to one piece of your logic.

The effect. The effect will be strong.

The logic that you posit to contradict this is that for most patients "there will be no incentive to search for better prices". That seems to ignore entirely the dynamics of other established businesses like supermarkets.

Most people go to supermarkets and the vast majority are not looking for the absolute best price or even the median price. However supermarkets battle out in pricing to catch the few customers that they know are price sensitive. Its the minority rule. This is a positive externality by which everyone benefits.

This same dynamic will be observed in healthcare.

I agree in that much of it is unknown and also the time horizon is very uncertain. But the effect will be felt and it will be profound.
Yes, if capitalism didn't exploit the working class I doubt socialists would find it so intolerable.

> We're talking about a bunch of delusional LARPers.

There were lots of LARPers. There were also some groups moving in organised fashion with less expensive and more useful equipment. There were people with bombs. There were some people ready to inflict harm on LE and luckily they didn't carry on to other people.

It was not a homogeneous group with same ideas and goals. That idea is just distracting from what happened.
Building off-prem is one of the biggest boondoggles in the history of our industry.

Unless you stick to S3, EC2, or EKS, you wind up designing your infra for freaky weirdware architectures like Lambda that won't run anywhere else.

Your costs are double what they would be if you just had a platform team imaging and updating servers. Costs can grow unexpectedly, too.

Why anyone is using this trap is beyond me. I guess since folks spend their two year tours of duty at companies before rotating off to some other position elsewhere, they just don't care.

This is Oracle all over again.

If the argument is sound and based on correct premises, any credentials or lack thereof are irrelevant.
There is also a performative contradiction here, i.e. if the attitude of igmoring all arguments from non-credentialed people were held by everyone throughout history, science and modernity never would have developed.
We have states openly talking about secession. Of course they're not serious yet, but it's like dropping the d word in a marriage, it can't be undone. I predict it won't get much more violent than we've seen over the course of the last year. And when the divorce does happen it will seem inevitable.
Working for a third party that provides govt infra, we/my org see it as a license to print money and an opportunity to lock govt in. Really perverse incentives.
High value item economics is different though. You need many fewer people to buy one for the same profit margin, so casting a very wide net just to catch those 5 people a year that would actually want it might be worth it.
You really don't see that dozens of deaths, 7+ Billion in damage, the attempts to overthrow elected officials as well as security institutions such as police departments in the same light? You're selectively choosing a wendy's to try and draw away from the same exact actions.

Guillotines have been present at multiple protests the past year. Breaking of windows of federal, state, and public buildings. Large amounts of citizens storming these same places while staffed. Assaults, shootings, fire bombings, all happened the past year.

How is that different? If your response is because x or y felt a specific way.. Then you get it, it's the same reason these dumb asses did what they did. All of them were wrong and you should admonish all of them equally.

I suspect most of the time that's because you can't justify keeping a team idle for even a week between projects if that's what it takes to ready the next project for them to work on. I'd be surprised if most businesses even allowed a day of idleness to get a running start with a well-functioning team.
I could imagine getting data from tools like Jira, but there is so little consistency on how data is entered and updated, I would have a hard time swallowing any conclusions from that data.
Without commenting on anything else, I don't think there's anything in the gp comment that implies smsm42 is American. (Actually, I read into the explicit "American society" that they are not American)
Your first paragraph and second paragraph cannot both be true at the same time. Trump never called for people to storm the capitol. He did, however, show a disasterous level of negligence that arguably was criminal by not taking steps to prevent it, since it was obviously being planned.

If I’m wrong, I will happily retract my claim if you can provide a quote telling his supporters to storm the capitol, not march to the capitol and remain peaceful, which is what I believe he did say. (And, my understanding is the violence was already underway at this point.) Given your claim to be basing your opinion entirely on his own words and not media narratives finding evidence to prove your claim should be trivial.

> If you take a functional approach, especially using pipes, dplyr and a split, apply, combine style, it is quite beautiful

Sure, but what if you don't? Sometimes, this is the right way to do things, other times there are other approaches that are more natural/beautiful. In many cases, a loop with conditionals is much easier to understand.
>The explicit goal was to disrupt congressional proceedings as part of a plan to overturn election results.

And then what? Once the mob was cleared out, they would have resumed. There's a chasm between disrupting proceedings and actually taking over a country. The latter also almost always involved having control of the military by the way.
> I don't know whether the stories of the legal action had anything to do with the move from .ARC to .ZIP, but I could believe it, on the free BBSes.

That's my very clear memory of what happened: PC Magazine and other trade rags reported that people were so pissed off at SEA that they switched en masse to .ZIP; it became a network effect, in that very soon everyone was using .ZIP because everyone was using .ZIP.

I was a junior IP lawyer back then; it was a real eye-opener that if a company asserted its IP rights in what was perceived as a bullying way, the resulting PR blowback could destroy the company itself as people voted with their dollars. That was decidedly not what new IP lawyers were taught; much of the IP world regarded (and still regards) IP rights as virtually sacrosanct, to be prioritized over practically all other values.

This is possibly the most perfect response I've ever read on HN...hits the nail ON the head. People need to clear their heads, forget politics for a second, and put some more thought into this.

I'm literally dumbstruck as to how so many intelligent people aren't able to comprehend the importance of the bigger picture here. And if you try to have a rational & zoomed-out conversation, they insist on zooming-in on small-picture partisan details which exist on a foundation of misrepresented/skewed/artificially framed information.

College degrees are not a relevant metric. What percentage of the population are being taught fundamental critical thinking skills? How many are taught how to evaluate the quality of data and the quality of sources? How many people have a good grounding of statistics? Or civics? Or logical fallacies? How many people can describe the scientific method?

I don't have many vivid memories of my primary school education but one of them was being taught how to be suspicious of claims made in advertisements. That one class stuck with me for a long time. (This was in Melbourne, Australia sometime around 1988.)
Yeah, I agree, courts are made up of people are designed to deal with the gray area as best they can. Courts deal with complex cases all the time. One thing they often look to in these gaps is intention.

“District and state” was intended to provide a fair trial of your peers. Simply not having a trial would not be a fair trial, however choosing a nearby venue would likely pass the fair and reasonable test.
I think that the right place to protest to the government would be at a government building (such as the capitol) rather than a Gucci store.

That's so fucking wrong, but I bet the government continually falls for this trap.
Hmm, you might want to refine your criteria. I'll grant you Ted Kaczynski was intelligent but well adjusted seems a stretch.
Easily?

Sorry, but that wasn't all that easily, and there are still plenty of people for whom the coin hasn't dropped. Ideals are easy to keep when they aren't being challenged. Then, when they are being challenged and suddenly all those absolute positions don't look so comfortable anymore what are you going to do?

People wouldn't mind risking terrorism, childporn and ordinary crime. But what if the price of free speech absolutism was democracy itself?
