Still a question remains that why the military went there instead of just the police? Generally the military is trained in killing people and the police in deescalation and keeping order inside the country.

I’m still very optimistic for the US. I’m not a Joe Biden fan, but the people who he selected so far look knowledgable, which is a big improvement over many other countries.
There is a more standard way of doing that with a blocking channel.

I'm using Papyrus Autor because I write in German [1,2]. It's expensive but superior to everything else for the German language. They're expanding to English users, but only offer a super-expensive subscription model for them [3]. If I wrote novels in English, I'd probably use Scrivener [4].

I'm very familiar with markdown, pandoc, and LaTeX, but none of these are relevant or important for writing novels. As a novelist, you need grammar and style correction features, pinboards for ideas, databases for characters and sources form the Net, easy snip management, advanced typography (especially quote correction and automatic quote conversion), name generators, non-continuous selections, selection by font, search & replace of formatting, automatic backups over network and advanced data integrity features, excellent ebook and PDF export, different views for writing/editing/correcting, etc.

>Comparing a deadly coup attempt and a direct attack against the representatives and the VP himself in the US capitol the day that the election results were certified by the Houses with random protests?

No, comparing some random people getting into a government building in protest, being basically tame inside, and business continuing as usual the very next day (or same?).

That was a "coup"? What was the plan to establish the new government? Who was the leader? The guy with the horns? The ex-president who didn't care less about the incident, and called for people going home?

And it was only deadly because in the US people are trigger happy, and even getting out of your car, unarmed, to a traffic cop, can be deadly. Even so, from what I read a guard was killed in an altercation with the mob, and a protestor was shot by police. A few others had "medical emergencies".

Pearl clutching aside, I wouldn't even call it a "violent protest", much less a coup...
I can kinda understand people who get paid to talk joining but why would anyone else? I don't 'get' the format I guess. I see why it exists but don't understand why most people would use it.

EDIT: I went and watched a video on the functionality after making this post. After seeing how it works I do actually see some value in it. I thought it worked more like a group voice call.
Their license literally says they have the right to use this code as they're doing, shouldn't be mad at them for that.

Imagine putting a sign on your lawn that says people can walk on your lawn and are even allowed to poop on it if they feel like it and then getting mad at them when they do so.

That being said, I support their right to change their license to whatever they like if it helps them survive as a business or for whatever reason they see fit obviously, more power to them.
Your argument only works under the assumption that money=speech, a belief that doesn't hold up to much scrutiny.

AFAIK, it's perfectly legal to speak in support of, say, an active terrorist organization. I doubt it is legal in many places to donate money to support an active terrorist organization.

If you believe that money=speech, the law is inconsistent in this matter. Assuming you want the law to be consistent, there are really only two ways to resolve the inconsistency:

1. Speaking in support of terrorist organizations should be illegal, or
2. Donating money to terrorist organizations should be legal.

I disagree with both these statements, so to me, money /= speech.
No doubt.

What does it have to do with you wanting to get rid of all of crypto, calling useful only for extortionists and scammers and with your certainty that PoS is never going to become a viable alternative?

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the pointer. I was too quick to dismiss, however a link to the one from @jacquesm does not hurt this thread.
Elastic's other blog post with a clarification about their recent license change is also interesting: https://www.elastic.co/blog/license-change-clarification. Apparently, they're considering further license changes such as MariaDB's Business Source License in which code is usable for anything other than offering the product itself as a service but becomes fully open source (including SaaS) after 3-5 years. That makes it pretty clear that it's meant strictly for competition with AWS.
Markdown is "rich text". What distinction are you trying to draw here?
Laws protecting against insulting of government institutions exist in most countries of the world, but nowhere I heard about 43-year sentence. This conviction carries penalty that is over twice as long as maximum mandatory imprisonment for high felony in European countries.

It shows the difference between law system based on terror of penalty, and law system that attempts to resocialize offenders (see over 1000-year total conviction here: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53003685).

Well I got down to the part where the author said that AMD never threatened Intel in the data center market and I closed the tab. AMD won entire generations of data center orders while Intel was flailing with Itanium and NetBurst.

I'm super confused: if this is a feature for corporate zoom accounts, surely someone on Hacker News (or at The Intercept) has access and can mess with recorded audio to test what sort of manipulation can defeat the watermark. Unless you have to ask Zoom to process the watermark every time?? (If this is widespread, why has no one with knowledge of the process commented?)

> I believe the premise of the title. But the main question should be: why? And the article does not really answer that, well beyond censorship.

There's two types of articles around politicized topics like this:

1. Those dealing with Why: for the unconverted

2. Those dealing with How: for the converted

Both types are necessary, but I feel often articles that are being read by "the converted" spend far too long trying to deal with the "Why" (preaching to the converted). So this article is refreshing in that sense.
Use the code yes, but not use the trademarks. And also not publicly claim to collaborate when they actually do not give back. That's what they complain about.
Okay, so this looks incredible, congrats on the 1.0!

Something a bit interesting but entirely unrelated: around 2018-06, I started a shell repo for a project named 'NovelWrite,' [1] (unrelated to this project, but a markdown novel serializer) then promptly forgot about it.

Seeing novelWriter (this post) surface to the top spot was pretty interesting because, despite similar names, I was unaware of this project until now.

1: I'm not going to post the link to the repo as I'm not trying to advertise it; it's really quite a horrible project. I just found the coincidence mildly amusing.
How Money Laundering Works in the Art World
Yes that's a fair point.

I think what I would argue is that if it were not for social media/flash news and parties interested in sensationalizing fringe views, the situation we face now would be less dire. I also doubt that without these interests fanning the flames that these parties would dry up and disappear, and I don't pretend to have a solution to this complex problem. I would merely maintain my point from above and that the solution, if there is one, may be partially represented in acting upon this variable.

I agree completely with your last point, that the number one way to avoid civil war is to foster an environment of dialogue. When conversations are impossible, violence results.
I really disagree with the Why of this article.

I think there are good reasons to move away, or at least consider reducing dependence on Google, and the last point about the change in Google Photos policy hints at that (but even there it creates a kind of conspiracy theory where none is needed).

For me, the Whys would be:

1) Far too much dependence on Google. It's probably not a good thing to have so much dependence on any single entity if its avoidable.

2) Google is extremely unreliable in maintaining their services. We have all seen them randomly discontinue services, even successful ones, because their standards for success are also Google scale. This means that anything you're using is at risk of being discontinued and forcing you to find an alternative in a rush, as opposed to doing it ahead of time when you can pick the time and choosing of finding the alternative.

3) Constantly changing UX. Based on HN comments, it appears Google has an internal culture that rewards constant churn. PErsonally, for example, Google Maps has always been untouchable for me. Until their UI changes have started hiding so much data, that just this weekend, it was almost impossible for me to find the address to a destination so I could enter it in my rental car's Nav system. After a few minutes of fumbling around I switched to Apple Maps, for the first time ever, where it was trivial.

That is not the point. There is legal and there is good - and simply reiterating that something is legal is unproductive and pointless.

Great idea, great design! As I think markdown is good only for write simple texts (AND NOT FOR ADVANCED BLOGGING), a novel writing software would to be a choice; because authors don't use richer text format than markdown, as Nick mentioned.
Someone controversial once called some country a “shithole” and was mocked as racist. Well, after reading this, I can safely say this falls under the same “shithole country” category. Call me racist, I don’t really care.
I now have the sudden urge to go find “wild eep” and set it as my alert sound.
Yep, it technically does. If there is a live channel on Youtube showing say a football match, then yes, technically you have to pay a TV licence for watching it, since the same match is broadcast on a TV channel.

I don't think the policy is that ridiculous, it's just that it's one of these where certain edge cases like this one can be safely ignored. You will be tracked and found if you use the BBC iPlayer without having paid the licence, you will not be found out for watching some random live youtube channel. It's an imperfect rule for a complex world.
Not the OP but as ex-designer, the pay is mediocre and the best clients most designers would like to work on (i.e. creative, interesting) don't pay very much. I know a lot of small studios that produced beautiful work and won awards, but didn't make amazing revenue, which resulted in having to keep the staff small and the pay for themselves relatively low. They always have to take giant, boring and sometimes difficult clients to keep the lights on.

All in all, the vast majority of my friends switched to FAANG so they could earn good money after years slaving away at agencies. They don't love the work but the pay makes up for it.
possible reasons:

1) concern about the neutrality of the BBC, esp. if you don't think they are currently neutral. It also might change the incentives of the BBC if funding is either guaranteed, or controlled by government.

2) the principle of general tax without strong reason. The government isn't trustable, they already privatised much of the railways. consent to general taxation give more power to government.

3) I don't have a television, and more people are choosing not to have one. There are shifts happening both wrt to media is consumed, as well as how laws are changing to adapt (e.g. requiring any device with a screen requiring a licence). Would be better for the situation to stabilise before deciding if a general tax is a good idea.

4) The whole TV-Van issue sours the issue. Public Libraries (AFAIK) don't send people after you for paying fees. The issue of censorship and management of publicly available information are also hot topics in libraries, but there is (arguably) a greater degree of "self serve" in a library, as opposed to planned/programmed broadcast - libraries don't generally create the majority of their content.
> If someone nefarious wanted to MITM my web site, the easiest would be to spoof DNS so it went to some other host, and do the MITM that way. Your ISP could do that to you, no?

That's what certificates are for. While certificate authorities can also be compromised, most ISPs don't run their own so they'd have to get a separate organization to cooperate with them to do this.

> They aren't injecting ads into my blog. They are injecting ads into your transfer of files from my site. Why are you using an ISP which does that?

This seems like a very strange semantic argument. From the customer's point of view they are injecting ads into your blog. Many people are not technically-savvy enough to understand that it's the ISP that's putting the ads in and not you. And for many people in the US and I'm sure also around the world they may not have a choice in ISP for a given level of service (would you choose dial-up or satellite over broadband if the only broadband provider that serves your area injects ads on non-secured pages?).

> Again, what's the threat model? I'm pretty sure simple traffic analysis would be enough to figure out, based on download size and number of additional requests made, which pages are downloaded.

The threat model is pervasive passive surveillance. The IETF recognizes this: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7258 HTTPS greatly increases the costs of such surveillance (you can no longer just look at the bytes on the wire, you need to closely examine the site the user is connecting to to correlate the amount of data transferred with specific pages on the site; for dynamic sites or sites using HTTP/2 this can be much harder).

> Does it make a difference?

Not to my argument, but I was genuinely curious what 10-year old phone anyone can consider usable today and the use-cases they have that still accommodate such old hardware. (I could see a basic non-smart phone still being useful, as long as the networks it supports are still active (which in the US will probably not be for more than another year or two)).
I've made the same switch and had the same thought. In response I just unsubscribed aggressively from most everything. Much cleaner mailbox now, and I really never took any action on almost any promotional/update style email anyway, so less noise overall than Gmail now. It's actually been a good switch.
I don't think the person you are replying to is making any kind of argument about legality.

I think they are saying that when you tell people something is acceptable, then they can only assume it actually is acceptable to you.
They never stopped being useful, but at some point CLI was hidden by a lot of popular tools, like Visual Studio, Delphi, Xamarin, Xcode, Java IDEs, etc. So it was possible to program and rarely see a console.

Today, even some of those tools are embracing CLIs.
Online Service Providers and the Fight Against Child Exploitation
Yea, the reasoning isn't bad and try to be user-focused. It's just that the end result might not be real-life optimal, for most users or most use cases. You see this alot with UX. Sometimes it breaks new ground (iPhone), but it can also make things really hard to utilize properly (mobile interface for everything).
That's true, but the chances of quite a lot of things happening over 100,000 years are fairly big.

Almost everything we do carries a small but non-zero risk of something which, if you stretched it over a hundred thousand years, would almost certainly be realized.

On the other hand, the average damage from a collision in space within 100,000 years is also pretty small.

For that use, I think "proselint", as zx321 recommended, is probably a perfect start, as it references the source of the recommendation.

(in terms of cost, though, you can get a decent editor for closer to the ~$300 mark for up ~60k-70k words, but of course if you're not intending on putting in a lot of effort - and more money - to market and sell it, that may well be too much too)
Is applying to 11 medical schools considered a lot? Where they all like A tier med schools or were you willing to settle for something less prestigious?

I’m just asking because I’d imagine you’d be able to get into _a_ med school with your academic credentials but maybe not the best one? I’ve also never applied to a med school so I could be talking out my ass.
These things seem like Amazon went beyond just selling their hosted version of Elasticstack:

"When the service launched, imagine our surprise when the Amazon CTO tweeted that the service was released in collaboration with us. It was not. And over the years, we have heard repeatedly that this confusion persists. NOT OK."

"So imagine our surprise when Amazon launched their service in 2015 based on Elasticsearch and called it Amazon Elasticsearch Service. We consider this to be a pretty obvious trademark violation. NOT OK."

"When Amazon announced their Open Distro for Elasticsearch fork, they used code that we believe was copied by a third party from our commercial code and provided it as part of the Open Distro project. We believe this further divided our community and drove additional confusion. "

> Imagine putting a sign on your lawn that says people can walk on your lawn and are even allowed to poop on it if they feel like it and then getting mad at them when they do so.

I mean, sure. Someone can poop on the lawn.

There is a difference between that, and some business coming along with a dump truck full of shit that they then dump on the lawn, and I'm sure you understand that.
That’s absolutely not the right tool for indexing large volumes of text. It’s a time series database with very rudimentary labelling support.
I had that installed by default though. Weird.
>We just witnessed that you actually cant do any of those things (build your own platform that has real reach), there is no free market.

I am witnessing the reality that it’s never been easier and cheaper in the history of the world to reach almost everyone in the world within seconds.

It’s extremely easy to build a website, host it, have people type in a few letters and numbers, and “reach” each other. It’s never been easier, or cheaper. It’s as free market as it gets.

Insufficient amount of people may be interested in that, but that has nothing to do with the mechanisms in place that can allow you to reach people, which don’t need to include Amazon, Google, or any other host.
It's incomprehensible how anyone would not shudder from anger seeing such injustice or how anyone would be clueless enough to argue that centralized, uncontrolled power of any kind has the right to exist in our time. We should all be working hard on dismantling these barbarian relics of the past as soon as possible, even if only to let their innocent victims to stand in the shambles and breathe the sweet air of freedom once again in their lives.
