There was an even more interesting question raised on r/NeutralPolitics about whether the pardon has to even be made public. It seems there's an interpretation of the law where the pardon only becomes public when the recipient makes use of it in a public court.

Him facing an impeachment trial does remove the pardon power, but only for things related to the impeachment.

Incidentally, that building maintenance graph showing why an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is also useful for illustrating why poverty is such a drag on the economy - if you barely have the money to survive short term, then you don't have the money to invest into even slightly long term things like maintenance, health or education, which ends up costing you even more in the long run. It's an incredible waste of resources (and that's not even counting the human suffering) and it benefits nobody (except maybe the company granting you the emergency loan you use to repair your car when it finally breaks down, but you might never finish paying off).
I'm a bit lost in the discussion here - is your first line a correction of the GP and you used the > mark 'wrong', or did the GP update his post and is the quote not in there any more?
This reminds me that because array access is just addition, in C you can also write 2[a] to access the third element of a.
Are you sure 3) is on that list?
There's a difference between accepting the costs of progress and actively wanting to be indirectly responsible for death.
Taiwan, the Republic of China beaten by the communists on the mainland, does not make it easy for people from Hongkong (a territory claimed by the Republic of China and arguably under repression by communist forces) to relocate, quite the opposite, that's why the numbers are small. Make that what you will.
With 1-based indexing, you can't index the last element of an array that occupies the entire domain of the index type.
A vo-coder is probably the best off-the-shelf technology. Of course a challenge with making invasive changes to the audio (in order to defeat watermarking), is that people may claim that the audio is fake/misrepresented. Vocoded audio will not sound like the original speakers, and may have artifacts. Lipsync may also be slightly off. So one would have to be careful to communicate these limitations. Which the general public may not have much interest in understanding... Adversarial opponents may latch on to these things and use it to discredit the recordings.

An more conservative approach would be to transcribe the audio into text, and only offer the audio to (more) trusted parties for verification.

I've seen some legal opinions that the pardon doesn't matter that much since he could apparently be tried on a state level anyways.
One was in asciidoc (the publisher's tool of choice), the other was in pages (only a 10,000 word book)

Surely! I sent you a message on Keybase.
Amazon literally started an open source distribution of elastic search and kibana in 2019, one that has been adopted and contributed to by other companies and clouds because it includes feature that are only in the commercial variant of elastic’s offerings. This fact is included in elastic’s blog post as a third party contributed a plug-in to Amazon’s version that Elastic believes copied source code from their commercial product.

The existence and usage of “Open Distro for Elasticsearch” is not debatable. Whether it infringes trademarks is in court and whether a third party infringed elastic’s copyrights is also in court.
the editing itself wasn't even the problem, but i realized that i want to track changes as the story evolves, and while i know that libreoffice can do that, there is just no comparison to text based version control systems.

if i had accepted that i would be comfortable enough with libreoffice, that would have been fine, but having to face switching back and forth, and continuously reformatting, made me dread the whole process.

so yes, switching is really the most difficult aspect.

fortunately, as discussed elsewhere here, there is a way to automatically convert from plain text to the format required for submission, so i should be able to continue writing without this roadblock now
Our counting is 0-based as well - usually when you start by saying "one" it is implied that 1 second has elapsed. So while we don't pronounce zero we still count starting from it.

It's important to note the reason the President has the power to pardon anyone for any reason is it's one of the checks and balances, the Constitution is full of them. It's meant as a check to blunt overzealous prosecutions.

Note that the President does not have the corresponding power to convict anyone.

An interesting set of pardons was when Andrew Johnson pardoned all the rebels in the Confederacy, including Jefferson Davis.

As far as I know, the only Confederate officers convicted and hanged were the ones running the POW camps. The crime was the brutal way they ran them, not rebellion.
The first paragraph is a good assessment of the current state of affairs.

That said, it's not a given that it be all or nothing. In fact, my complaint is specifically that we don't often ask such questions.

There might be ways we haven't exploited yet to disincentivize certain behaviors. Whoever invented Bitcoin, for example, had to take problems with incentives into account that, at first glance, seem intractable.

Given the way the internet turned out, we should think seriously about how people wind up using new tech in practice, rather than assume everything will just work itself out for the best.
In general you may be right, but stealing code from one employer to give to your next, and explicitly being paid for this and advancing your career, is not a good example. His actions were clearly wrong, and this is just an example of the way white collar crime, even when it causes massive damages, is not practically punished as badly as blue collar crime.

So what are the better choices? Do you think that if someone were to liquidate the CCP top members, plunging the country into chaos, that the Chinese would be better off?

It's easy to say "X is bad" when you don't have to care about practical consequences, like whether there are better alternatives, why we're in a suboptimal situation in the first place, and how to get to a better place.

1) It also affects runtime, when addresses need to have a subtraction, and maybe a multiplication, in the offset calculation.
2) You may need this often in certain network or protocol code, for example.
My issue with the term "dog whistle" is that it's being abused to attribute nefarious meaning to just anything you want irrespectively of the actual content of the message- by definition the "dog whistle" is something that the message doesn't obviously contain. It's a free interpretation license card.

I think out-of-context interpretation is the major issue of our times: we got used to the idea that it's perfectly fine to report the most damning combination of words in a sentence as if it were the original full sentence; that a joke made on twitter is the same as a political manifesto sent to the press; and that a hand gesture can get the meaning it would have in its worst possible case. This has to stop.

Circular buffers?
I don't think it's a question of it being more powerful than bash. Why does it need to be? I'm not going to use shell script to write apps. There are better scripting languages like python and node for scripting non-trivial apps.

This was just a proof-of-concept using the smallest lambdas available. I definitely would opt for a EC2 instance. Though lambda would be enough for something like a configuration service.

> No it doesn't. That just gives you the last element, which is not a "based indexing".

I never liked that feature, it has chance to hide bugs in more complicated code where indexes are calculated...

I'd prefer a 'reverse' indexer instead.
These are such weird arguments. The origins are irrelevant because it wasn't just a trick pulled on normies; white supremacists also fell for the joke. Once they started genuinely using the gesture it did become a symbol of hate. The Wikipedia article you linked says exactly that a few paragraphs below the paragraph you quoted.
I just finished read my first fiction novel in about 10 years: Dune.

> The normal response (for a variety of good reasons, including legal and ethical ones) from a company on a matter like this when asked by the press when they haven’t completed an internal investigation would be to decline comment on personnel matters. Google’s behavior is grossly unethical here irrespective of who reached out to the media first.

To give a counter-argument to this: If party A makes a claim or accusation, and party B just says "no comment for now", it'll be near-impossible to reduce the (potentially unjustified) fallout of the premature verdict made. Public opinions matter, and stories told one-sided should not be desired by anyone interested in an objective discourse.
Try Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age :)
Your assertion doesn't even apply in Western culture, let alone generalization across cultures you probably know nothing about.

Most people would consider Elon to be eccentric, Paul Graham to not look like traditional VC, and these superficial aspects are frankly irrelevant. So why is it ok to use that to insinuate stereotypes and hand-wavy assertions of malfeasance.

Perhaps for you there is no consequence, but much like calling the coronavirus the "China virus", you're doing cultural damage by spreading negative stereotypes via fabricated or insinuated purely speculative assertions. The stereotype here is that China is associated with as some dystopian backwards society that has done no favors for its citizenry, which may or may not be true, but is definitely not defended by any objective evidence presented by the OP.

To flip the scenario, imagine if some random people from China commented about how the US elections seems like there was rampant fraud, without much supporting evidence. By lending credence to something without any concrete evidence you give it some air of legitimacy. When you do so by purely speculating on non-important things you've entered the realm of purely pushing an agenda with no substance.

If you are worried about deplatforming, why move to an app with the same issue? They should move to xmpp and then Trump (or whoever the thought leaders are) could pay for their own server.

There's a similar thing shipped in Chrome now called Tab Groups, you just have to enable it behind chrome://flags.

In my view it's nowhere near as nice as it is on Firefox, with site isolation (Facebook, Google, Twitter, reddit), temporary containers, and a myriad of other add-ons that improve managing them (keyboard shortcuts and transition rules are the two I use the most).
yeah, I believe it should be something like that. Anyways I think the author created some anticipation of giving an explanation about the reason of all those chips and the conclusion was just something like "there are many ICs because it uses TTL and each TTL IC doesn't do much so you need many of them". Ok... but why does it use TTL? that's the interesting question, isn't it?

It has always been the case that watching any broadcast TV as it's broadcast requires a license.

Now it's also the case that you need a license to use BBC's streaming platform, iPlayer, to watch video on demand.

Note that "live" isn't the qualifier -- so long as you're not watching a feed of something that's being broadcast you're OK.
In San Francisco, those types of property crimes were going up before Prop 47. That is not to say 47 didn't exasperate the problem. The city also had diversion programs for non-violent crimes, both misdemeanor and felony, before the proposition was enacted. SF has had an epidemic of car break-ins for the last decade and the organized shoplifting rings have been a thing for generations.

I never experienced drug or grocery stores locking up merchandise until I was visiting a friend in SF in 2007. Then again that was also the first time I saw used condoms and needles in the gutter, a person taking a dump between two parked cars, and two men humping in the bushes of Golden Gate Park.

> They’re not doing this if the press reaches out to them for comment with the specific details first.

The press didn’t have the specific details until given them by Google, which is the “naming and blaming”.

The press had a report from another party of an apparently nonfunctional corporate email address. Describing the existence and basis of an internal investigation that had not been completed from that is grossly unprofessional; I’d be mildly surprised if it was done by a small outfit where media inquiries were regularly fielded by someone with no corporate PR, HR, or legal training, advice, or guidance, but for anything at Google’s scale it is unimaginable as anything but a conscious, deliberate breach of norms with the intent of harming the subject employee in public without developing a full picture of the facts, and that’s assuming Google’s statement is completely truthful as far as it goes.

My clocks all start at 00:00:00 every day, and that seems entirely logical to me. It's also how all programming languages that I've worked with represent time.
> The x86 atomic operations are fundamentally expensive. ARM’s new LSE extensions are more flexible and can be faster. I don’t know how much this matters in practice, but there are certainly workloads for which it’s a big deal.

There's also the RcPc stuff in ARM 8.3 and 8.4 that could make acquire/release semantics cheaper.

Luckily for ARM servers we have SBSA that adds things like UEFI and ACPI to the ARM platform. :)
Although my current day job is very professional about this, I’ve seen the other side, too. «We have some code from 5-10 y back, can you compile it?» and only half the files are there.

It would be great if HN had some content on «moving from random files on a network drive to git and basic automated testing» - it’s not an easy job and others would benefit from such writeups.

Is there not a risk that GME issues more shares to raise money, and so everyone gets diluted?
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this possibility. Sure code compilation (and LTO) is going to filter out a lot of the signal, but you still have potential unique patterns in the structure of the system and in the data flow.

At least it can still be used together with other methods to compute a probability between different authors and organizations.
It sounds like a shell injection vulnerability [i have not actually checked though]. Attack scenario is somewhat realistic ("friend" sends you an image in a manner that preserves filenames, you run command on file)

Being blatently vulnerable is not the same thing as being not production ready.
George hotz said that Anthony Lewandowski was a real leader and the problem with real leaders is they do first and ask questions later. I don't know Anthony Lewandowski but I agree with the sentiment. Disruption is disrupting, and tends to be illegal. Its pretty hard to stay in the right side of the law, if you think you have not done anything this is because you are not big enough for someone to try find something.

I wish it was an ongoing thing a president did every night before bed - get presented with a curated list of deserving prisoners and a rubberstamp. Far better than a splurge at the end of term.
You can increase the page size [1]. That will increase the size of the B tree nodes [2] (and other pages too but that's probably what you want):

> The upper bound on [the number of keys on an interior b-tree page] is as many keys as will fit on the page.

I think a tricky part of this idea would be the locking. Usually SQLite relies on the locking of the underlying filesystem. You could add your own mechanism that causes a lock to be assigned to a single client connection, but what if it never unlocks? (On a single machine you can tell if the client process has crashed.) You could add a timeout but what if the client process then does respond?

I'm a powershell user for about 7 years now, or more. Have a lot of bindings, helpers in my powershell profile, and use it everyday for work.

That being said, I'll never use it on Linux as my shell. It's just too slow to start. Fish, nushell, bash, all start instantaneously, powershell (legacy and core), all take more than a second to start, on beefy machines.

I've been looking at the powershell core repo in hopes of fixing this with .net core ready to run profile, but they seemed to have something like that in place, but was disabled at that time.

Anyway, PowerShell is good, probably the best you can get on Windows(nushell also takes a bit to start, and it's still new). But, on Linux you can do much better, even if that means having to struggle with Bash/Fish scripting.

For more complex scripts a full language like Lua or Python are most likely better.

Also, last time I checked the docker container for PowerShell Core was easily over 100MB, if I remember correctly. Might work well for a dev machine, where you set it once, but for a CI, it's not ideal.
Yes, a fire brigade needs to put out the fire. The analog to that in the social realm are non-profits, democratic policies, and grassroots activism. But fire brigades would be really bad at putting out fires if we hadn't studied them scientifically since about the 17th century. We would not know the difference between electrical fires, fires involving oil, and bush fires. Today, woke academics declare some social 'fires' to be bad, others to be necessary, and some to be underrepresented, instead of asking what causes them. I doubt this will lead to a coherent and ultimately actionable understanding of reality.
