Alternatively, the only reason they're doing this now is because they no longer are the ones who have to deal with the fallout from it.

I think most people on the planet realize at this point China is bad, there's also a reason they mostly keep their mouths shut and continue to deal with them.
There should be a amendments to all constitution, that no law is valid, that can not be followed by a citizen with reasonable effort.

The whole copyright violation criminalization started this pattern of laws, that every citizen can assumed to be in violation of.

And if everyone is in violation of such a law, the state is free to choose which violations are prosecuted and which are not. Capriciousness. One of many assaults on democracy, coming in a nice disguise.

It's hard to lift the next generation out of poverty when children are working instead of going to school.
I don't get why people with unlimited resources have such massive houses. I mean it's impressive and all, but I'd much rather have 4000 square feet (still huge) and a nice lot, all that empty space in those mansions is depressing.
No amount of "economic anxiety" justifies an explicitly undemocratic coup attempt where people were running around looking to scalp democratically elected leaders.

There are real ills in society, but - ignoring that republican voters are significantly uninformed about things like the party's support for healthcare, e.g. Efforts to scrap Obamacare largely hurt poor Trump voters - that doesn't excuse them from the fact that they've swallowed the Trump Koolaid and taken part in a coup.

And besides, if you want to talk about society failing them - were there any black people in the Capitol?
Sure, but there are several options that would be zero cost.

Fuel pumps on EFI motors have a supply and return. Return is significantly smaller in diameter and will probably allow the engine to barely run at all. It would probably start and shut off giving the thief the impression the car is junk instead of being disabled.
They were within minutes (reported in national newspapers as “within one minute”) of being in the room with Mike Pence, so perhaps the Vice President was lucky.
> When console games started selling for $59.99 (or more)

So last century? Big single player 16 bit games were $80usd (e.g. Phantasy Star II) and $59.99 was not unusual for run of the mill licensed or sports games.

It's amazing that 59.99 survived as a standard price for games as long as it did.
If not AWS it could have been anyone. This is an inherent vulnerability in the open source business model: there's no particular reason that upstream developers would be the best at hosting or consulting on their own stuff. You can afford to give the client more attention/hardware for their money if you don't have to also pay developers.
They are not terrorists mostly naive fools.

Buy a bootable external drive for your computer. Have all your "work" stuff on that drive. When you reach then end of your work day, shut down the computer, disconnect the external drive and store it in a closet until the start of your next work day.

When booted off the work drive, do not mount your internal drive.
If you have an iPhone and connect it to your car via Bluetooth (even just for music/calls — doesn't require CarPlay), then the Maps app will show "parked car" where you last parked it. Pretty slick!

You feel zero empathy? Good, because developers will also feel zero empathy when they strip away your ownership rights.
My issue with the moon, in particular, is that:

a) it's not hard, it just requires a long focal length.
b) it's not a creative act. The moon drowns out anything else, so it ends up being just a picture of an orb surrounded by black.

Piano is extremely challenging, and playing something well gives you that feeling of having overcome a worthwhile challenge.

Chess is likewise a battle of self-improvement.

Same with painting.

Moon photography? There's zero creativity involved, it's just about whether you've gone out and bought that 150-600 zoom you've been eyeing.
This seems a strange prediction to me. Can you elaborate on why you think this? Do you think the reals will be replaced by surreals in common usage by laypeople, by working mathematicians or in mathematical pedagogy? While I certainly think surreal numbers are really nifty for tying together different number systems into one rigorous foundation, your claim sounds like someone saying that the algebraic numbers would surpass the rational numbers.
Right... but it doesn't have a specific button that can't be used for anything else but going over 70?
Here's something I can only speculate on with the cold chain.

I have mentioned it elsewhere on HN, but I've handle dry ice and liquid nitrogen quite a bit, first in college and then just later for fun. Several years back, I noticed a very large price hike in dry ice, as well as a drop in availability (less available in my city, vanishing from small towns). I was told by someone in my supply chain that federal regulations around dry ice had changed, resulting in only a few players being left in the game and of course the price going up.

I wonder if now, a decade or so later, the law of unindented consequences has reared its often invisible head.

This is a rather spurious assumption, that you have there.

'The system' that you're referring to in most likelyhood is just an aspect of science fiction, as such there is no provable threat from the internet, and it doesn't make any kind of capitalistic sense to turn off the infrastructure upon which rests, for example, the stock market, the banking infrastructure, a small portion of the communications infrastructure.

Now, if there were a provable, tangible threat to these systems remaining, and it was seen to likely be a GH-0 'Dead Greenhouse' scenario[0], then I think it would push people to take action.

But I don't think you can claim that "people will never turn off the internet, ever", simply because as-such they have never done it. With that line of logic the USSR would never have got humanity to space[1].

There have been plenty of extremely well organised, sophisticated and technically competent terrorists. The IRA, the Red Amy Faction, the PLO and Black September, Al Qaeda.

Aside from 9/11 none of them have operated successfully in the US and your domestic terrorism has mainly been perpetrated by individuals or very small one off groups of just 2 or 3.

This is such a spot on comment. I think the trouble is that you can’t pick the way that opposition to very bad things finds it’s moment. We have had decades of horrible abuses and creeping police state totalitarianism. It affects everyone. It permeates life everywhere. I wish the current zeitgeist around changing that was less identitarian, but I will take what I can get and happily support it.
Just checking you know that the US still uses child labour in the US.

https://www.hrw.org/video-photos/video/2014/05/13/made-usa-c...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/28/tobacco-child-...

> Child labor is common on tobacco farms in the United States, where children are exposed to nicotine, toxic pesticides, and other dangers. Child tobacco workers often get sick with vomiting, nausea, headaches, and dizziness while working, all symptoms consistent with acute nicotine poisoning. Many work 50 to 60 hours a week without overtime pay, often in extreme heat. They may be exposed to pesticides that are known neurotoxins. Many also use dangerous tools and machinery, lift heavy loads, and climb to perilous heights to hang tobacco for drying. The largest tobacco companies in the world purchase tobacco grown in the US to make popular cigarette brands like Marlboro, Newport, Camel, Pall Mall and others. These companies can’t legally sell cigarettes to children, but they are profiting from child labor. US law also fails these children, by allowing them to work at much younger ages, for longer hours, and under more hazardous conditions than children working in all other sectors. Children as young as 12 can work legally on tobacco farms and at even younger ages on small farms.
Having watched the January 15th option chain before last week's monthly opex, you could see a significant number of deep ITM puts both being traded and showing as open interest for lots of different strike prices. It's likely this created a short squeeze on Wednesday which caused these put sellers to take a loss, buy the underlying stock, or roll their contracts to a later date. Most of this price action occured on Wednesday, where there weren't volatile swings in either direction on Thursday or Friday.

Github is hardly a bastion of free flowing information. Back in 2018 they removed a repository which listed names of ICE agents, based on data from LinkedIn - https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/21/ice-employee-list-github-l...
Uuuuuuuum, that is emphatically not the parallel you want to draw here. We did fuck all to prevent extremism from metastasizing and set the Middle East on a course to be a shatter belt for our lifetimes and likely that of our kids. We also killed a bunch of civilians and terrorism was used as a pretext for a hell of a lot of pretty racist policies. Having power means you have to be the grownup in the room. It sucks but the choice is that or a kind of repression that strengthens the grievances of the people you’re supposed to be fighting. The way terrorists work, when they’re successful, is by leveraging the overreaction of their adversary to win adherents, resources, and eventually legitimacy. We can’t let that happen again, we can’t let that happen here, and we sure as hell can’t let it happen with white supremacists.
The IPFS component is written in Go and is packaged as a crx, like the built-in Rust ad blocker. Can Brave components like these be created by 3rd-party developers? I'd love to make extension daemons in decent non-JS languages like Go.

I also think that all races/genders/etc should be treated equally but even that has become taboo in progressive circles.

Problem is, it's always been taboo in conservative circles as well. That is the great problem of our day. All these political ideologues espouse beliefs contrary to the good of large numbers of people in our society. They give speeches about how it's not "us" but the other side who are the bad guys, but then they all send their pet terrorists out to riot, loot, and in the case of the capitol attackers gather intel to hand over to our nation's adversaries.

These political extremists are simply bad people all the way around. No matter what way you look at it.

I'm not saying the election of 2016 was legitimate. I never claimed the investigations and claims were bogus, just that they occurred. I'm responding to a claim that this election is called illegitimate by partisans whereas the previous one was not. Whether either election was legitimate or illegitimate, political opponents of the victors put in great effort to paint them as illegitimate. Both sides are playing this game, and to demonize the one doing it now while forgetting that it has been happening for 4 years already is disingenuous.
> The riots were most likely political AstroTurf before an election

I noticed that that the BLM protests happened a few months before the 2016 election and then vanished. Then the same thing happened before the 2020 election.

Thanks. That’s informative. I would be happy with the DNS route only if I had faith in DNSSEC receiving wide adoption.

As far as I’m aware every resolver on every system I use will silently fail open to non-DNSSEC DNS. It feels like that’s going to be the case for a long time yet, so maybe the rely on DNS you can trust route isn’t the best option.

To be clear: I’m not worried about malicious nodes on the IPFS network corrupting data which I’ve asked for. It’s more about how to avoid being phished with ipfs:// links I find posted online whose contents claim to be something they are not.

I hadn’t realised how much I relied on the safety of the padlocked domain name at the top of my browser, and on the domain name in links over which I hover. With plain IPFS every click feels like a new website?

It wasn't a comparison, it was a statement of fact, which I think is true, no? ES was based on OS from Lucene, or it was not.

You're asserting a comparison where none was made.
It seems to me that the unpleasant, but unavoidable conclusion is that a significant fraction of the citizenry is sympathetic to the far right domestic terrorists.

Edit: If you think this is untrue, you have an extremely narrow filter bubble.
If I suspend my disbelief for a second, do you have a link to any interviews or similar with those protesters?

Surely you are not conflating quotes from peaceful demonstrators against (alleged) election fraud, with militants trying to violently overthrow the government?
That's comically untrue. The drug war is a policy coined and handed down by the Nixon and subsequent White House administrations on the rest of the West, and in the US it does have strong racist undertones (see minimum sentences for crack cocaine compared to powdered cocaine).

Not even sure what you mean by laws coming from local communities. To someone involved in the drug industry illegalization is a conundrum. On the one hand, you might get punished. On the other hand, you're incentivized to do it, because you'll make a lot of money filling the supply vacuum left by the formal economy. Add bad socioeconomic conditions into the mix and poverty becomes much scarier than criminal prosecution.
My guess is that it was a calculated decision to allow to allow a poorly organized insurrection attempt to fail as opposed to shutting things down and strengthening their cause.
Life was certainly lost.
So if that's what happened they should have shut it down as it was happening instead of ignoring capitol police calls for support.

GitHub blindly taking down another repo after another dumb DMCA complaint is just giving me the last push to migrate my projects to a self-hosted Gitlab instance.

I've first thought of it after the youtube-dl takedown, and decided to schedule the migration after the company fired a jew employee who called the Capitol Hill protestors Nazis, but I admit that I've got a bit lazy in the meantime.

Thanks GitHub for reminding me that I shouldn't be this lazy and I should move my software ASAP to a safe home where I don't have to worry about my code disappearing from the web overnight because of a dumb lawyer who has no clue of what he's talking about when he talks about tech.

When open-source developers get pissed of how you treat their projects (most of them developed and maintained for free) they don't come down to the streets, they don't take you to courts, they don't harass your employees. They just move their projects somewhere else, update the URLs provided online, and go on with their lives as if nothing happened. And we all know that GitHub without projects and without developers is nothing but a shiny empty box. I wish you guys enjoy your shiny empty box soon - maybe ask one of those lawyers to contribute some code to it.

Apple discovered additional workers as young as 14 years old during an audit just three months later.

Historically, ages 12 to 14 were traditional coming of age birthdays. (I think this is where we get the Jewish bar mitzvah, as just one example.) In other words, you were considered to be an adult by the age of 14, which aligns with what we generally know about human development in terms of you typically develop executive function about age 12 and it takes a couple of years of practice to get meaningfully good at it (though, granted, research suggests additional brain development continues to about age 25).

In the US, it wasn't that many generations back that we routinely had kids in rural areas quit school after the eighth grade to work the fields. That means they were probably around 13 or 14 years old.

My father dropped out of high school when he was sixteen because he was a big guy, it was the midst of The Great Depression and he could "earn a man's wage" because he could work hard like a grown man. His lack of formal education was not stigmatizing at that time. Now the military wants more education, but he had no problem going up in rank and making a good career for himself as a high school drop out.

I've read some pieces some years back that indicate that when first world countries (for lack of a better term) go to third world countries and insist that kids aren't allowed to work, they actively interfere with survival for individuals in that place who are expected to work and do not have a social safety net. When we show up and impose our "high standards" to make us feel morally superior, we do so from a very privileged perspective and don't think about how that interacts with reality on the ground.

There are American teens who work because they are part of a poor family and they need that money to help feed themselves. That happens in the US, yet we think all teenagers in some other country are supposed to have some pampered existence with parents providing for them while they laze around and maybe tend to their schooling.

I don't know what the solution is, but I do know that it's a complicated issue and the headline here and the article aren't treating it with any nuance at all.
Effectively what they need to do is to remove "of external sites" on the bottom of the page and everything would fine and dandy.
very well, who gets to determine that hierarchy and how will they enforce their determinations?
No, Apple pulled it from the Apple store because Parler expressly refused to moderate the violent content even once it was made aware of it while still taking the time to moderate and ban left-leaning posts, indicating that it had the resources to moderate, it simply chose not to.
Most people don't realize this, but libraries are actually very bad for writers. Books are often lent out dozens of times, with no new revenue for the writers.

Why is that bad? Writers need to make money on every single sale. If they can't, books will have to get longer and longer, to make it harder to finish reading them during a library checkout interval.

A lot of those problems go away if you just buy everything you're going to read directly from the kindle store.
