I find them harder to separate in the capitol incident. The event they were attending was named "Stop the Steal". At some level people there were invested in a tenuous narrative about how functional our elections are.

It's obvious they did not all commit crimes, but they somewhat tacitly encouraged what brought it about. I generally don't feel the same way about BLM activists. There were situations in BLM events where the boundary was overstepped, and inexcusable mob behavior took over. Perhaps I give a big pass because I am sympathetic to the overall aims of the movement, and for the "Stop the Steal" event I see a lot of malice in the lies that caused people to deny (not just question) the outcome of the election.
I found it by hovering over the buttons that were lit up. It makes no sense to me, either.
24/7 365 support is a less obvious sub linear cost. At 4am one person can be vast overkill, but you can’t get away with zero people. The same is true as you keep scaling support, having level 1 vs level 2 is really about filtering problems ever more efficiently and having enough work where that’s actually needed at 4AM on Christmas takes scale.

Which is what economies of scale mean, just a huge range of sub linear costs all lumped together.
Those are slow burns. The attack on the capital was a severe jolt to our national psyche. You may not want them to be different, but they are.
BTC in itself is not a scam the same way the internet is not a scam, but almost all scams are now internet based. A lot of the altcoins had good intentions, but when money comes in and the incentive of doing good work is not much, but everything else brings in money, means that money starts to corrupt.

Calling something "wasteful" is merely philosophical. What exactly is wasteful? You eating anything that isn't absolutely required, maybe just some IVs, is that not wasteful? The USAs entire meat chain, is that not wasteful? Transportation when online meetings are fine, is that not wasteful? The universe itself burning out one day, is that not wasteful to existence? Wasteful is not an argument at the end of the day.

"The bigger your market, Montag, the less you handle controversy, remember that! All the minor minor minorities with their navels to be kept clean. Authors, full of evil thoughts, lock up your typewriters. They did. Magazines became a nice blend of vanilla tapioca. Books, so the damned snobbish critics said, were dishwater. No wonder books stopped selling, the critics said. But the public, knowing what it wanted, spinning happily, let the comic- books survive. And the three-dimensional sex-magazines, of course. There you have it, Montag. It didn't come from the Government down. There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, to start with, no! Technology, mass exploitation, and minority pressure carried the trick, thank God. Today, thanks to them, you can stay happy all the time, you are allowed to read comics, the good old confessions, or trade journals."

I still have a pair of Sony MDR-1RBT; in their prime they were £400. I've had them going on 8 years now, they still work perfectly after daily use outdoors, in the rain, thrown in bags etc for ~7 of those years. Battery still lasts 2-3 weeks with ~2 hours use per day and the only "damage" is the faux leather on the headband and ear cups peeling.

I replaced the latter and it's like having a brand new pair of headphones.

Now granted that the codecs are old and audio quality will be better on something more modern, but I'd love to see if the air-pods last as long, particularly if given the same abuse my Sony's have had.
Can you expand? Would love to hear what issues you have so far with the existing work.
Exactly.

If you need to make changes to the design of an injection molded part, you'd better make them all at once, because the cost of a new mold is $100k whether you make one change or seven.
I don’t see these as comparable. If Microsoft packaged up Linux and started selling Linux licenses, maybe? Elastic search being used in a product seems different from elastic search being the product. It’s not black and white, but there are real differences.
> Parler has been, for all intents and purposes, killed.

Parler wasn't “killed” because planning took place there, but because they were openly at least unable if not actually unwilling to take action against a huge backlog of specific problem identified to them; the problem was current and forward, not retrospective.
Good question. I would imagine it records the last known GPS location before you disconnected from Bluetooth. But it would be great if it did something smarter, like using accelerometer data to dead reckon the location. It could even try to use data from both your incoming trip to the underground parking spot and your exit from the parking spot to wherever you’re going. Probably too optimistic to think this is what’s happening through.
Czar.

Czar, by the way, comes from Caesar, which was both the name of Julius Caesar, and more importantly how the Roman emperors were referred to ("Give the Caesar's what belong to the Caesar"). In other words, Czar is a word for Emperor.

When Peter the Great took the name of Emperor (1721), there were lots of princes and kings in Europe, but a single Emperor - the sovereign of the Holy Roman Empire (i.e. Austria), which at the time was Charles VI. It was quite an audacity, and lots of monarchs did not recognize the title, including obviously Charles VI himself. In time they came around.

The point is, for hundreds of years following Peter the Great, the Russian Empire has perceived itself as the successor of the Eastern Roman Empire (which had the Orthodox Christian religion).

So, maybe it's not official, but Putin sees himself as a Czar, or an Emperor, not as a mere King.

Wait a month or so: more arrests are coming, and it’s quite possible that members of Congress will be prosecuted for sedition.

The Capitol insurrection was a culmination of 4 years of POTUS cultivating a rebellion. You’re right that those other events had broader effects on the world, and Americans in particular. I’d add leaving the Paris agreement to your list. But people respond to symbols, and the last capitol building breach was two centuries ago in 1814.

The historians will take everything you mentioned into account—though Khashoggi’s murder and probably the tax cuts will get short shrift—and they’ll frame it all as pointing to an inevitable coup attempt.

Though honestly, Jan 6 is probably only the beginning, given how many Americans are so invested in Trumpism. I expect more violence to come, so while his part is ending (he will likely be in prison soon) the fractures in the citizenry that he exposed and deepened are going to be with us for a while.
I don't think you understand my stance. I'm all for used video game retailers. GME happens to be a pretty crappy one. But they are one that has availability of used games when a console isn't fashionable anymore. Got max payne for $4 and vanquish for under 8 a few months ago. (PS3) Sony is stopping their online store for the PS3. (Go figure)

> Also, GameStop would sell a used disc for $55 while a new disc was $60. Because they get 100% of $55. Then their associates HEAVILY pushed used on gamers who don’t give a shit and just want to save 5 bucks.

Where's the harm? Their ability to sell it for $55 is capped at the total stock they have. Dev companies can print near unlimited amounts of copies for a low price.
So with all this evidence of large volumes of abuse and contributions to the Capitol riot, why aren’t Apple, Google, and Amazon banning Facebook and Twitter? It’s because banning Parler was a move for public relations and appeasement to the incoming administration. After all, the first politician to call for the ban of Parler was AOC, who is a Democrat.
Yeah, the trick/moat here would be getting big enough uptake on delivery companies to have drivers with whatever's needed to authenticate.

But everyone just totally ignores car alarms, so they don't function as any sort of deterrent in practice. Thieves will still take your shit even if an alarm is going off.

Most Likely Fake News invented by the CCP to have us believe it was simple mistakes that led to the pandemic - - rather than intentional laboratory construction of bio weapon viruses.
In non-pandemic times, it would not be unusual for a company to blow more than that on a laserquest outing or an escape room or something. Seems in the right ballpark for a teambuilding budget.
The thing is, the argument I outlined earlier wouldn't have been very compelling a decade ago. As you have shown, there are examples of speech restrictions that aren't that big a deal. Some people might indeed debate the finer merits of free speech such as genocide denial in such and such countries but in the end it rarely affects the entire fabric of society beyond a few individuals getting convicted here and there. So to answer your question, I do think Germany is still democratic despite my own argument because whatever restrictions currently exist aren't that important in the bigger picture of how the state functions.

But now with social media misinformation, we are moving from the tutorial of shouting 'fire' in a theater to the boss level whose final form we can only speculate on. That's what in my opinion ought to motivate some fundamental questions about what democracy is actually supposed to be moving forward.

Essentially, I'm totally on board with your failure mode idea: it's just that we diverge on the definition of what democracy is. If the future of society consists in heavy manipulation of information feeds for the purpose of maintaining a specific equilibrium, I believe it is better referred to as a technocracy especially if that manipulation will mostly be done by tech companies and other unelected officials. In this case, if Germany were to regularly curtail certain forms of speech with fundamental consequences on how the broad masses of voters behave (a path it is already on in my view) then it will eventually cease to be meaningfully democratic as the years go by. But I accept and understand that there are other ways of evaluating the situation.
The warning applies to GMRS walkie-talkies too. I doubt folks were using HAM bands.

Same. I've been doing this voluntarily since March. Does this suck? Yes. Is it better than dying or killing somebody? Fuck yes. I don't understand how it's even a question.
Exactly. Every fuel pump has a ground that you can put a switch on to kill it. No need to run it in reverse.
Alternative take: Maybe DC Police and others learned some restraint in the ~6 months in between and tried to avoid escalating the situation in the earliest moments.

Even if it was misplaced, isn't that a better opening mindset?

That is true; but since the aliases and parameter names are discoverable with introspection, if you are writing a script you can have a tool which expands them all to their full name if you want that.

That said, the PowerShell team do care about breaking backwards compatibility, so this risk is more likely in a 3rd party module than in the PS main cmdlets.

So to sum it up, the view from the HN crowd is that the fascist police corps were on the unarmed insurrectionists' side, but the cops didn't want to shoot at the rioters because they were overwhelmed, and the terrorists, who had been planning the coup for months and were incited by Trump's violent speech on Jan 6, decided not to use their guns because they didn't want to risk starting a bloodbath, as they had only come to the Capitol to hang Mike Pence and kill Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the democrats, and take selfies.
Im pretty aure they meant programming from the radio itself, without using a computer.
>Where was this rhetoric when Antifa and BLM burned and looted for months with the blessings of all corporations and the mainstream media? Surely the Capitol Hill has an insurance policy? Or does that moronic point only apply to the common folk?

Blessing? The blessing was for peaceful protests, the rioters were universally condemned.

>Susan Rosenberg literally bombed the Capitol in 1983 and now serves as vice chair of the board of directors of Thousand Currents, a "non-profit foundation that sponsors the fundraising and does administrative work for the Black Lives Matter global network, among other clients."

And served 15 years in prison for it with a 58 YEAR sentence. Clinton faced plenty of criticism for the pardon too. That being said, are you suggesting someone who has served their time should... permanently be ostracized by society? Prison is meant to punish not reform?

If you're suggesting she's still supporting violence, provide the evidence. Her book seems to indicate she has a different world view after spending time in prison. Literally the outcome we SHOULD want from people being arrested and imprisoned.
On a lighter note: when I joined.. I found out that I had a contact who has over 1000+ Clubhouse members in their phone contacts.

Turns out that it was the cab company’s number in SF that I used to have on speed dial. This was from pre-Uber days when we still had to hail a cab or call for one while at the city by the bay.

The cab company guy is hands down the one with the most Silicon Valley/Big Tech (phone) connections.

Data is awesome. But sometimes it’s just noise rather than signal.
>which doesn't sound like a great policy for freedom of speech or fostering a competitive marketplace.

It's entirely possible and reasonable to argue that the current limits on freedom of speech are insufficiently broad, and that the "competitive marketplace" of ideas has very little going for it empirically.

>we all know China is the one who make all the troubles with military threat and flying aircraft over Taiwan, day in and day out.

As they are fully well allowed to as Taiwan is their own territory. You and I might disagree but out of the 195 countries on earth the only ones who recognize Taiwan is a country are these few:

Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Paraguay, Nicaragua, Belize, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent And The Grenadines, Marshall Islands, Saint Kitts And Nevis, Palau, Tuvalu, Nauru, Vatican City.

Comparing that to the 139 countries that recognise the State of Palestine (where Israel can still do as they damn well please!) and it is quite easy to see that while some might pretend to care about Taiwan (like the US) all they really care about in the end is the money to be made from trading with/in PRC.

>China will think twice about invading.

PRC doesn't invade. It isn't the US. It gains influence in much more subtle and intelligent ways than bombing people but if they wanted to they could do to Taiwan what Israel does to Palestine and no one would do anything but talk talk talk.
I think you probably came into this with a profound disagreement with the politics of Victoria, and more naturally aligned with NSW. If you actually didn't and would in more normal times vote labor, I'd be interested in that because what you say very strongly speaks to me, of a prior dissent from the Andrews government. You are using libertarian language in a way which implies you are not a statist, and do not believe what Victoria did was legal, let alone justified

(btw in case it isn't clear, I categorically disagree on both fronts)

I say this as a queenslander, where the overwhelming majority of the state backs what Labor has done, and thinks NSW can go jump, regarding who determines what happens at the borders.

I doubt any Westralian, or Tasmanian, or any of the aboriginal communities (who self isolated day #1) would agree with you over lockdown btw.

I disagree. The things that happened at the Capitol stick out in your mind because they are the most recent thing that happened. Every moment I posted was hailed as "the most important thing to happen in our lifetime" when it occurred. This is one of the big problems with our society now: sensationalism rules and our collective memories are short.

It's just hard for me to believe that in fifty years I'll be saying "oh boy you remember those dudes that broke into the Capitol?" as I stand in line for my bi-monthly mRNA booster shot that the newly appointed 99th Supreme Court Justice (after the Court has been packed, of course) has ruled is mandatory for all citizens.
Medieval peasants worked fewer hours per day than we do now, an average of 160 hours fewer per year (~8%). This is of course averaged over a pretty wide range of circumstances that we’d describe as “peasant”, including poor land owners and literal serfs who owed labor to their lord in exchange for rent.

Most peasants would find our work schedule baffling heavy and consistent. But they would certainly envy our health and relative comfort. So, mixed bag.
I think its the combination of the extremely high number of short shares (71M) vs shares outstanding (69M), the stock hitting an all time low in March ($2.57), poor public sentiment ("its the next blockbuster"), and then the addition of Ryan Cohen (a "Rockstar" entrepreneur) all making for a really epic turn around underdog story.
