> Isn't the east precinct a government building?

Yes, but your framing isn't genuine. Some protestors did wander into an abandoned building. I'm not sure whether any of them were armed. That's a far cry from "Armed protestors took over a government building."

> Raz the Warlord of CHAZ giving out assault rifles:

Again, your framing is clearly flamebait. I obviously don't deny that Raz was there, and that there appears to be a video of him giving a long gun to someone. (Singular.)

But calling Raz "the Warlord of CHAZ" is needlessly biased and inflammatory. Just say Raz Simone, or if you feel you need to clarify, add some factual clarification.

> How many people were shot within the protest zone by occupants of CHAZ versus police over that time?

Again, your framing lacks nuance.

The first shooting in the protests was by someone driving into a crowd who claimed to have a brother who worked in the east precinct.

The second shooting does not have a clear connection to the protest occupants. The Police chose not to help the shooting victim (and the reason for the shooting is unknown). This may have been protest related violence. It may have been non-protest related violence. It's unclear if the victim would have survived if the Police had made any effort.

The third shooting (which occurred outside of the zone) appears to be racially motivated, and according to the victim was allegedly at the hands of a white supremacist. It's unclear if this is related to the second shooting.

The fourth and fifth shooting (which occurred outside of the zone) have no details beyond someone getting shot in the arm.

The sixth and seventh shootings were of two teens who had reportedly driven an SUV through the crowds overnight, including through the park. Details are hazy, and it's not clear whether this was an act of self defense or something else.

So, on my counting there were seven shootings:

2 appear to be against protestors or racially motivated.

3 have no clear details that link them to the protest, and 2 of which did not take place in the zone

2 are allegedly in self defense, though the veracity of those claims is TBD.

> were about to have breakthrough in lightweight CRT

Never heard of this. There's a limit on how lightweight a CRT can be, compared to what amounts to essentially a large chip. Maybe that wasn't so bad. Also, unless this breakthrough no longer used an electron gun, they are power hogs.

> to force the usage of HDMI cables

What's preventing one from driving a CRT with a HDMI signal? You can generate the analog signals the CRT needs quite easily. This is in fact done by dirt cheap dongles today.

> where the game would raytrace the audio, calculating it reflecting, refracting and difracting around the 3D models, allowing for sound simulations that let players to figure out the environment by audio alone

Why can't we do this today? This can in fact be done by GPUs. Possibly even in the CPU.

The way I understand there are a few reasons why people stopped buying sound cards:

* Capabilities such as MIDI and pre-loaded instruments were no longer used. Games had more space to burn so they just used digitized waveforms

* The built-in audio became "good enough". Any built-in cheap can output audio at high sample rates. Decent audio can be provided even from the analog outputs, not to mention digital signals carried by optical outputs, HDMI, Display Port. Some of these may not even be routed through the audio card

* Similarly, many people use USB headsets. They have their own audio device. In fact, many computers have multiple - in my case, my camera has one, the Oculus has another, so does the monitor. All through USB or DisplayPort

* Most sound processing tasks are not really that taxing on a modern system. Thief might be an exception and even then, given some AMD and NVidia offerings, this is probably doable without dedicated audio processing hardware

* Also Creative had a chokehold on the industry as a whole. Lots of libraries and products were purchased or killed. They still make audio cards today, but I can't understand why.

Are those institutional gatekeepers the so-called "elites" that the populist demagogues constantly complain about? (To be clear, I'm not being argumentative and I think the premise of party gatekeeping helping to prevent extremists from seizing power is probably accurate)
I would recommend dropping coffee for tea. Switch to tea... (sorry for mocking ;) ). Honestly, while real bean coffee includes caffeine, which energizes you for 30 minutes, it also includes theobromine, which would put you to sleep after 30 minutes; tea (black tea and earl gray) has caffeine only. Instant coffee with milk (like Nescafe decaf) is a good beverage to drink before the bed time, since it contains theobromine only

Why is the conversation always "abolish vs keep as is?" The EC seems like a good idea that brings equity to a diverse nation but needs some updating as things have changed dramatically since its creation. There are other possible changes that might help, like removing the winner take all situation. But just basing on popular vote alone creates the same problem we're in but from the other direction. We need cities but we also need the rural areas (like our farm lands) and we need to represent both. But rural areas will never have the population size/density of cities. We shouldn't let fly over states decide the elections just the same way we shouldn't let California and New York decide them. There's got to be a better solution here that provides good equity.
Yes, the IP economy rests on a bunch of fragile international treaties the US has with its partner states. The government provides the court system that enforces IP claims, but the costs of litigation are mostly carried by rights holders. So when you are sued for patent infringement, the court's costs are fairly minimal and paid by both sides -- but the court's power is just an externality of state power.
The Politicization of Unhappiness
I think there's a subtlety in the way Amazon as a company markets what they do and leverages the brand that's important here.

Take for instance Amazon RDS which is a family of managed relational database services. I don't think "Amazon RDS for MySQL" is an unfair use of the "MySQL" trademark, even if Amazon haven't asked Oracle's permission. The reason here is that it's much clearer in the way RDS is branded that it's not endorsed by the database engines it supports, it uses their trademarks to describe the engines they integrate with which seems reasonable in my view. Amazon RDS is still its own independent brand.

"Amazon Elasticsearch Service" crosses the mark in my opinion because it blurs the line between the two brands and in many ways implies that Amazon actually made Elasticsearch themselves.
There is an option under "Display options" to change this.
I don’t fully understand your statement, but I spent 5 years in Canberra and regularly deal with government. I think the stereotypes are exaggerated, but do exist to some eccentric (think: ABC’s Utopia, as opposed to bogans muttering ‘the gubbament don’t do nuffin’) to be fair I think our gov gets caught in big organisation syndrome.

Canberra people are in general, awesome. Little art/fashion culture compared to other cities, but per capita are the most educated people. That doesn’t fix the nightlife situation though :P

> I have a MBP, as do all of my engineers. Within a few years all of these machines will age out and be replaced with m1 powered machines. At that point the idea of developing on ARM and deploying on x86 will be unpleasant

Is it not at least somewhat possible that at least some of those Apple laptops will age out and be replaced with GNU/Linux laptops? Agreed that developing on ARM and deploying on x86 is unpleasant, but so too is developing on macOS and deploying on Linux. Apple’s GNU userland is pretty ancient, and while the BSD parts are at least updated, they are also very austere. Given that friction is already there, is it likelier that folks will try to alleviate it with macOS in the cloud or GNU/Linux locally?

Mac OS X was a godsend in 2001: it put a great Unix underneath a fine UI atop good hardware. It dragged an awful lot of folks three-quarters of the way to a free system. But frankly I believe Apple have lost ground UI-wise over the intervening decades, while free alternatives have gained it (they are still not at parity, granted). Meanwhile, the negatives of using a proprietary OS are worse, not better.
I totally agree with you but do you think there could be other companies who might compete with apple in designing powerful chips that could compete with apple besides intel

Well now we have an issue where Facebook's unwillingness to moderate has blown up into large-scale domestic terrorism, so big in fact that it created a market for Parler to cater to.

So why are we still discussing Parler's ban (which I don't disagree with) but completely ignoring the core issue that Facebook initially caused this and should be banned too?

Exactly, that's how this works. They take all of our freedoms away while you cheer them on.

You know, this isn't the first time it's happened. People aren't just pulling this out of thin air. There's a very long history of these things playing out that way, time after time. We are currently in an era, since 2001, where every time the government or corporations decide to do something to "protect" us, they end up pushing us further into serfdom.

What I don't understand is how people still don't know their history, and think this time it's somehow different.

RedisLabs is probably the vendor that foot the bill for Redis software development end-to-end.

While I understand that some people viewed a successful OSS project is akin to Wordpress: lots of hosting providers, rich ecosystems, _and_ Wordpress main company is still making good money out of it; this is not apple to apple comparison (can't compare Redis and Wordpress).

Redis belongs to the group of MongoDB, ElasticSearch, etc.
At the very least it's mashing them together in such a way that about 50% of the time they form anatomically correct humans. So at the very least it is rotating and shrinking limbs in a three dimensional way and internalized that.

The other 50% of the time it goes wrong, and the result is either a human that is not anatomically correct, or something that doesn't even seem to be a two-dimensional projection of three-dimensional Euclidean space.

> I'm sure that a GOP candidate could pull the right strings to get a plurality vote

There was a bunch of hubub on the Right in the fall about a Democrat win leading to Democrats tilting the tables in all sorts of ways that would lead to a "permanent Democrat majority".

I always came back to the same point as you, two-party politics will naturally self-balance at a pretty even split.

At a city / state level, you might be able to maintain one-party control through various levels of corruption / influence, but the nation itself is way too fickle to put up with that for long.

The weak link in the current majority will always tend to switch sides as soon as it appears that they might gain an advantage by doing so.

The trademark has to do with licensing insofar as if a major reseller of your OSS licensed product will infringe on your trademark, the easiest solution might be to modify the license. Especially when the alternative is lengthy trademark disputes with a huge company with a lot of lawyers.

At the end of the day offering an OSS license becomes less viable when it seems like major players aren’t playing fairly.
> This dichotomy between the two types of states along with constant usage of the terms "divisive" and "divisiveness" by the media (and now the politicians themselves) promotes the notion that we are splitting apart along political lines in ways that we've never witnessed before.

The penalties in these cases have historically been pretty disproportionate:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_misuse

In Lasercomb v. Reynolds, and Practice Management Information v. American Medical Association the existence of an abusive licensing agreement allowed third parties to simply violate the copyright.

So, assuming misuse of copyright was found, precedent suggests the copyrights that were being misused would be rendered unenforceable.

A case finding that bad faith DMCA take downs amounted to misuse of copyright would be setting a new legal precedent, but, based on the facts in multiple recent DMCA takedowns, such a finding wouldn't be a huge logical leap.

>Right, thankfully no one is doing that

You seemed to do that further up this thread. When confronted with questions about the violence on 1/6 you responded with references to the violence perpetuated by BLM protesters. However I can't find a single instance of collective violence at the BLM protests that comes close to a mob beating a police officer to death like happened in DC.

As far as I have seen, there were no murders committed by BLM protesters as part of any protests, riots, or whatever you want to call them. Even in this post you are still referring to "BLM murders". In a previous comment a few posts up I directly asked you how many murders occurred at these BLM protests and you didn't respond. Is that because you know that the person to person violence that occurred at these events was routinely instigated by the police, other right leaning people, or people using deadly force in response to looting?

And like I said previously, we are already comparing millions of people protesting over months in cities around the country to thousands of people in one city protesting on one day. There were vastly more opportunities for violence at the BLM protests and yet the only person to person violence seen appears to be in response or initiated by people on the other side.

I appreciate the complement and agree with most of the second half of your post, but it isn't just the origins or motivations for these two groups that differentiate them. One was much quicker to instigate violence against people.
Many popular subreddits are quietly operated by moderators with industry connections.

Some of this occurs naturally. People who were deep enough into a niche to become moderators of a subreddit in the late 2000s and early 2010s are also likely to end up working in that industry or starting business in that industry.

However, many companies have realized that being in the good graces of subreddit moderators can be very good for their business. It's becoming common for brands to reach out to subreddit moderators with offers of free products or even paid job offers to bring them onto the company's side. I know of several companies that routinely send free gear to relevant subreddit moderators. The arrangement is "no strings attached" but it usually results in a favorable moderation outcomes for the company. Moderators have a lot of power to influence conversations on Reddit in non-obvious ways.

In some ways, having a subreddit that champions your products while maintaining an appearance of being impartial is better than explicitly spinning out of Reddit. People know not to trust positive Amazon reviews, but Reddit conversations are generally assumed to be authentic.
Some banned political subs have spun up their own sites as well. I wouldn't call it unbundling. I guess maybe forced unbundling?

Technically, they are judges at court and should rule according to the law not their political leanings.

I am aware that is not necessarily true, but it is also in the self-interest of the judges to be perceived as impartial, otherwise they loose their authority.

Police, military and intelligence agencies are government agencies, and are part of the executive. They should do their job irregardless of who is in power. A lot of high ranking people have worked through several administrations because they simply do their job, irregardless of their political leanings.
Partisanship is harmful for those people, as it threatens their job security.
