> Nobody was going to kidnap and murder anyone. And there wasn't constitutional breakdown - nothing broke down.

This is contrary to what some of the people who were in the capitol claimed in advance, and their recorded actions, and their equipment. Seeking out particular officials (Pence and Pelosi), having previously made threats to harm them, with equipment to do so. What about that makes you so certain that no one was going to be killed? So certain that you're willing to reject it outright without even considering the evidence? That rings much more of preconceptions than objective analysis of the evidence.

> but nobody tried to change the constitutional government of the US

The intent of the people who attacked the capitol was to prevent constitutionally mandated transfer of power.

> Pelosi's desk, or steals Pelosi's podium, and now he's the king of the USA and we are all his loyal subjects? There's literally no imaginable way one could perform an actual coup - i.e. take the power into one's own hands

That's not what anyone is suggesting. This wasn't a coup to make baked alaska president, but to keep Trump in power. That's still a coup though. And I think centering your objection to "coup" on that makes it pretty transparent that your argument isn't particularly strong. So yes, stop talking nonsense and get on the same page as everyone else, participate in the discussion others are having, or bow out, but playing semantic games doesn't make you look good, and isn't interesting.

> You mean like being shown a picture of the horned guy in the Capitol, as opposed to actual war

No, but then you knew that already. I'd encourage you to read up on the HN guielines, because you're currently breaking them. And on that I'll disengage, because it's clear you aren't interested in a good faith discussion.
It seems like his biggest problem was alcoholism. I don't know that addiction is over-represented among smart people or people on the spectrum. It looks like it can be a vicious cycle though. Abuse alcohol or drugs, make bad decisions, bad decisions have negative consequences, abuse alcohol or drugs again to forget about negative consequences, rinse and repeat. It's a hard cycle to break. Many people can't admit that they have a problem to begin with.
Got it. I guess I was thinking like bundling an AWS AppSync type option here so you could easily plug CRUD functions behind it, where Divjoy continues to take care of auth and permissions.

Depends on exactly what "average" means in this context.

The most naive of interpretations (e.g. averaging each of the R/G/B values) is generally not what we want.

Would be super cool to add some different averaging schemes to this.
> what makes you prefer SolveSpace to FreeCAD or programmatic cad like CadQuery?

I prefer GUI apps over CLI/scripting.

SolveSpace is my main 2D/3D CAD since SolveSpace 2.0 became[0] FLOSS. (previously used KOMPAS-3D, but it is proprietary)

Now I'm QA (tester) & i18n (localization) contributor to the SolveSpace development for 6 years now, so you may ask me anything about it.

Itself I'm a teacher of design and technology, with a bachelor degree in technical drawing & CGI + master degree in PM, so really like to take part in FLOSS development as UI/UX QA & PM, see my profile on GitHub[1]

In last 20 years for curious reasons also I use OpenSCAD QCAD/LibreCAD, FreeCAD and a lot of other FLOSS CAx & GIS apps from-time-to-time (mostly for testing & bug reporting).

> What do you use it for?

For all CAD-related works (see my #DailySolveSpace[1] resources): solid 3D modeling & producing 2D drawings, simple CAE analyzing, etc.

Really interesting idea! I was thinking this might be a neat color name-to-rgb tool, but the resulting color deviates substantially from expected colors (which, given the algorithm, is to be expected):

I don't believe just switching from average to dominant color will actually fix this.

No, he's right. The secret service took Trump to his bunker. What you're describing happened the day after the attempt to breach the White House and it was to prevent another attempt.

A couple things:
1) Shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater isn’t protected speech, so why should explicit calls to violence be?
2) The government hasn’t silenced anyone. The 1st amendment doesn’t oblige anyone else to broadcast hate speech or plots to subvert a democratic election process.
You're being super nit-picky. It should have been assumed 100K "visitors" meant uniques, but I knew someone like you might make this comment. 100K * 12 = 1,200,000 visitors. I added a 20% margin to account for return visitors.

Twitter and Facebook aren’t “free speech,” as the wags remind us all the time. In fact, they’re machines for hyper-self-reinforcing echoes of the national id.

More speech leads to truth, unless you can choose to wall yourself off from all critical speech that offends you. Then you just self reinforce and self radicalize. The Twitter/AWS response is a larger version of the same American reaction that got us here.

I’d like to see social media designed to get at truth, not just dopamine. It makes no sense to me that you can’t get a retraction tweet sent to THE SAME people who view a false tweet. And yet you can’t.

> unauthorized Whitehouse tour.

This is awful, and I can't imagine the thought process that leads to this kind of rationalization. MANY members of the crowd are known to have been armed. Five people are dead. Congress had to be evacuated. Had an escape route not existed (many nations don't have cold war fortifications in their legislative buildings!) we could very easily have been looking at a hostage situation.

This is how real governments fall, in the real world. And even failed coups are often repeated successfully. The Beer Hall Putch was about the same size, equally unsuccessful, and yet...
Indeed, and I think we can also make better use of the "lesser" medical degrees as well. For instance I get most of my primary care from a nurse-practitioner or physicians-assistant. My parents' most beloved primary care "doctor," who is an absolute superstar, is a nurse-practitioner.

Maybe there could be some kind of a continuous work-and-training ladder, where you start as a NP, and move your way up as you get more training and practice. Or you can stop whenever you think you've reached your desired level.
I've done ok as a foster child, so I thought I would share why. This is a throw-away account because I'd rather not be identified.

First, my foster home cared for me. Somehow there is this idea out there that you shouldn't form an attachment to your foster kids, but I think that advice is plain wrong. I know because years later I attended foster-parenting orientation out of personal curiosity, and this is more or less what they told prospective foster parents. For me, that change made a massive difference. My foster home parent made sure my teacher, my school principals, my coaches...etc knew of my situation. They even went as far as letting me stay in my school district despite living outside of it.

Second, because of this community-awareness, I had allies at every turn. Teachers spent extra time getting me caught up during tutoring hours. My school counselor sent me email reminders about college application due dates. My AP & SAT tests were paid for. My school lunch were covered...etc.

Third, and perhaps most importantly, I wasn't a pay-check to my foster parent. I think that somewhat ties back to my first point, but you'd be surprised at how many folks do this for the money (at least in the state were I was based).

How to fix the foster system:
This is a really tough one, but I think more emphasis should be placed on putting foster kids inside existing families, if possible. Maybe more outreach is needed to find such folks, and maybe the economic incentive of it should be held back until a kid has been successfully placed for more than a. year inside a family. Furthermore, the whole notion that no attachment should exist is flawed. Lastly, getting the community involved. It really does takes a village to raise a foster kid.

I've never heard of that trick and would never have thought of it on my own. It takes a moment's thought to see why it works, and I like it.

Bit twiddling is a bit like symbolic integration. There isn't a systematic approach, it's just an accumulation of formulae that people have stumbled upon over time. You can buy books of them. (These days, of course, you just use a program that has them all hardcoded into it.)

The other aspect you’ve failed to notice is that many companies are eschewing offices now. They’ve proven they can work without them; Docker, for example, is now going fully remote.

To be honest, the above comment is exactly why Brexit happened: a refusal to see the bleeding obvious while chest-thumping and saying “we are the greatest”.

It’s why trade is basically avoiding the UK and new sea routes have opened up between Ireland And Europe — because the UK has made trade inefficient. No amount of chest thumping is going to change that dynamic, and England will be poorer because of it.

Reality doesn’t care about Brexit ideology.

Estimation is hard if you are stuck in the mindset that you have to make a point estimate.

It's not hard at all if you are willing to be (and are allowed to be) honest about the uncertainty of the inputs and calculate the uncertainty of the final result based on that.

It's true that people may demand precision that you can't give them. But at the same time, you know something and it is simple to compute what you know.

It's like Fermi estimation, that everyone hates so much and claims is so useless to interview for.
Disaster recovery was a hot topic. Most transformations kept DR within the cloud. A few architectures wanted to fail over to another public cloud (AWS->Azure). The issue of “de-platforming” still exists. Most wanted to get rid of the on-prem costs without keeping a rack around for DR.

You’re absolutely right that the real meat of discussion needs to be how a cloud company like AWS makes these decisions? What criteria? What protections does a consumer have? What about data?

There’s a lot of unknowns there. AWS’ Business Agreement you can get their legal and your legal to agree upon, doesn’t really touch on all those points. Further, AWS’ has a canned agreement they use and don’t make concessions even if you’re a Fortune 500.
I wonder if one of the big issues is that lately control of government is so flip floppy that no one gives up anything because they figure they'll have control soon enough. From the mid 30s to late 70s, Democrats had full control of congress for all but 4 years. The national Republican party had to change A LOT in that time to be relevant. Since HW Bush the longest period has been I dunno, 4 years? 6 years?
For what it’s worth, I’m convinced that whoever can make this a $99 box with a great app interface is gonna make a fortune.
Instead of returning the mean rgb values, a better idea is to cluster the colors (e.g. using mean-shift algorithm) in a perceptually uniform color space [2] (such as CIELAB).

California would, in practice, need a variety of permissions from the feds to do approximately single-payer, which still wouldn't be actually single payer. Both the ACA and Medicaid would be major federal issues (in principal, it could opt out of Medicaid, but that would lose a lot of federal health care funding California is being taxed for). And it would still have the interface-to-other-systems problems single-payer is designed to avoid, because Medicare and VA would still exist and require coordination of benefits.

No European country would have similar problems, because they are independent nations.

How would they have done that? Nobody would listen to a bunch of hooligans pronouncing orders from the House rostrum. In a coup, someone like a general is waiting to hear the signal to throw in with the coup leaders, providing actual institutional power to the usurpers.

There was no institutional power behind these people -- do you think some general at Andrews was waiting for the phone call to signal his support for the guy in the viking hat?

Can you clarify "explicitly for-profit"? I don't think that's true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_(package_manager)

Snap is practically the opposite of that. It's a package manager that is almost entirely out of the hands of Canonical, which was one of the criticisms of apt.

If you mean to criticize that some of Snap is proprietary, that is legitimate, but that doesn't seem to be the aim here.
Erich Schmidt's audacity is both telling and shocking. This is pretty much the equivalent of an armed robber saying that everyone can still be save from harm, as long as you just stay home and don't go outside. Probably the biggest shame here is how people like Schmidt still have platforms to suggest these kind of things unhindered, without any punishment.

I do not know how this particularly works in the USA, but in most reasonable countries I know of, the ways in which anyone (company/government/etc) can interact with anyone who isn't a legal adult are limited. For good reasons too, I believe. I think it even is dictated by signed/ratified international treaties/declarations, but I don't recall any details right now.

I'm pretty sure that the tracking of minors (or the unborn), essentially surveillance, is actually in violation of the legal protections those are supposed to have. I've heard plenty people argue that this tracking is somehow admissible, if their legal guardians sign off on it. Often based on the assertion that legal guardians are responsible for those under their care. However, the legal protects of minors are a thing on their own. As far as I know, guardians can not "give away" the legal protection of minors. No more than any person can "give away" their inalienable human rights (also not by consent), which is what makes them inalienable.

So here we have an industry that in all likelihood is seriously violating the legal protections that minors (and arguably unborn too) are supposed to have. Instead of demanding that governments address these rogue corporations, which considering the systematic nature of their violations probably even warrant to be classified as criminal organizations, we instead listen to what key people in this industry say in an attempt to justify their actions, or suggest as remedy for their behavior.

I'm not really all that shocked about people like Schmidt saying such things. About as predictable as a politician talking any kind of bullshit that will sell their agenda. However, I am appalled that this industry gets away with what it currently does. To me, that says a hell of a lot about the system, and how it apparently prefers to protects these interests instead of protecting the people it legally is supposed to protect.
to some degree a social safety net, but surely also a daycare in the most literal sense for a single parent who can't take their kid to work. Having school closed can be disastrous for people who are barely hanging on with joe jobs, fickle employers, and a rent to pay. Tough problem, because it shifts a lot of burden onto teachers to proxy as parents/wardens as well, which must undermine the mission of education.
What’s happening in Assam with the NRC is why I’m not surprised about what’s happening in America. People don’t like it when people who are different from them come to their country, especially illegally, and then vote in their elections, take advantage of their public services, etc. The last couple of hundred years of geopolitics has been people fighting each other until they can have a country with just the people they can stand. The global backlash against immigration is just the other side of that coin.

Now I have my thoughts about granting legal status to illegal immigrants who are already here, from a purely intellectual position of cost/benefit etc.

But let’s not kid ourselves and say that the cost/benefit is what people are disagreeing about here. What this is about is 11 million people from a different culture who didn’t come here legally, but will soon be able to vote in US elections. That’s going to piss off a tremendous number of people, for utterly predictable reasons. If Biden goes ahead and does it anyway, that’s fine. (If he can get the votes.) But that’s why we’re in this position today. We as a country disagree about very fundamental stuff, and every time one side gets into power, they govern without regard to what will piss off the other side. (And I’m not just blaming Biden—Republicans just did that with the Supreme Court appointment.)
There is an evolution of the soul ashwini to Bharani to krittika.

The soul is untethered and wandering in ashwini...in Bharani it’s bound in the womb, hanging upside down and dependent on the mother for everything. It is undecided and while everyone awaits the arrival...the birth..the fetus chooses when to make its appearance.

In krittika tho’ ..it’s the nakshatra of individuality..the soul is born and possesses independence. It is demanding and curious. The symbol is the knife. It’s the knife that cuts the umbilical cord of the baby to step from a metaphysical existence to a physical existence.

For Krittika prominent charts, the best remedy is to give unselfishly to others. Without calculating. Like agni who was the deliverer of the sacrificial offerings to the gods and humans..his duty being that he has to give equally and fairly to everyone their rightful share. Krittikas will overcome challenges by sharing and being fair.

Another one of my favorite stories to read is the story of Nachiketa and Yama from Katha Upanishad. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nachiketa It is the archetype of Krittika and Bharani. (Nachiketa and Yama respectively)

Something beautiful happens in the stories. I started reading all the Puranas and Upanishads with a different perspective after I started studying astrology.

I think ..with enough time..I can map all the stories to make sense of a kind of progression of action and karma. It’s all there...only thing tho’.. it’s coded.
