If you mention the Beer Hall Putsch, let's consider how Weimar Republic actually had fallen. Read about the Reichstag Fire and the Reichstag Fire Decree. It started with a stupid and pointless act of violence - a communist (Marinus van der Lubbe) setting a fire in the Reichstag. But that fire didn't kill Weimar. That has been used by the Nazis to claim the communists are preparing a violent coup (which they in theory might not mind - violent revolution was the part of the Communist theory - but in practice hadn't been preparing any) and prosecute Communist leadership. It wasn't a violent putsch - despite considerable support and frequently using violence as tactics, they never felt strong enough to just take over the government by a violent strike. Instead, they combined occasional violence with massive propaganda, scaring the public about possible communist uprising, and presenting themselves as guardians of order, and slow takeover of government institutions, while suppressing their opposition (especially communists) under the mantle of preserving law and order. That's one of the reasons why they got handed considerable power without having to seize it violently - and were in position to pass such decrees as Reichstag Fire decree and the Enabling Act - that ended the Weimar Republic.

That's interesting. One of the first things many cults do in an attempt to wipe out a persons identity is to force them to choose a new name for themselves and to put some kind of penalty on using their old name. This conveniently cuts them off from their whole support network which might question the grip the cult is exerting on the new recruit.
My question is... where is the due process?
I like that. Basically it puts meaning into prima facie provisions in laws, plus it focuses law enforcement on TARGETING ACTUAL UNSAFE BEHAVIOR, not simply raking it in with numbers-based enforcement.

For a valid reason. The government isn't a tech company or an infrastructure provider. You wouldn't ask the government to build their own roads or bridges, so like everything else software and services need to be contracted out as well. Of course that doesn't mean they should use AWS by default, but asking every single government agency to build their own data centers and CDNs is foolish.
From the end of the cold war until 2014, I don't think Americans thought much about Russia.

Then when Putin invaded Ukraine and then hacked the 2016 US election, his interference in the West and specifically our democratic institutions (which were considered somewhat sacred to many Americans), the threat of a Russia became much more present in Americans' consciousness.

Thus, I don't think it is without cause. Also, the Mueller investigation and then Ukraine extortion impeachment trial both brought Russia into our daily thoughts.

That being said, this news isn't anything specific to being Russophobic. Instead, it is more about how it would be naive to think that the website being hosted outside America makes it inherent that the NSA will hack it. Parler being hosted in Russia means Russian intelligence will certainly have an easier time surveiling a site that was certainly already a target. Both of these intelligence agencies hacking and surveiling Americans without any due process is concerning regardless of which political party you belong to. Russia will certainly use any information it learns to aid its agents in the US in further manipulating the Republican party. And the NSA, even if it has less nefarious motives, still will be conducting such surveillance without any judicial oversight. Thus, I don't think this amounts to an obsession with Russia as much as a valid concern and topic of discussion.

As an Aussie, I'm over it.

OED says that -ize is equally "correct" to -ise. Australian spelling guidance has dropped the U in "color", "honor" etc.

I keep the "e" in axe, I spell metric measures (and centre and theatre) with "-re"

I still differentiate between advise and advice, practise and practice, defense and defence.

And I'd spell "check" as "cheque" except no-one outside the US still uses those. /s

I currently am working on a typescript + react + redux application. The number of times I have had a developer on my team tell me that a change will be hard is disturbingly high. In vanilla javascript it would be a simple sixty minute change.

I actually really like typescript but I am unaware of being able to use it without very obnoxious things like webpack being involved.

You say “ So I built something people wanted. Consumers wanted it, doctors wanted it, I wanted it. Where did I go wrong?”

The fact that the people giving you the money I.e doctors / hospitals didn’t want to pay for your product proves you built something no one wanted. Wanted enough that they were willing to pay you money for it. Or go out of the way to find the budget for it.

To add to the recollections, this was also the time that "look and feel" lawsuits were going around -- Lotus suing Paperback Software, Apple suing Microsoft, etc. Most of the BBS community was against look-and-feel and patent lawsuits ("The right to code"), and there was a court injunction preventing the parties from discussing the sea/pk lawsuit. But the pk side leaked, so that was the only side that was heard (and I remember believing at the time that sea was the "bad guys", until I learned a bit more of the nuances of the case, and now think that both sides were both right and wrong).

So that was a major driver for the "arc to zip" conversion, just like the "burn all GIFs" day.

But how would they rule on the defendant's rights? If the law says that the person has the right to be tried by a jury in the same state and district, then it seems to be a blatant violation.

Just because a crime may be universal, doesn't mean tha people can have their rights violated.

The easiest fix for all of this is to have the legislature do their job and amend the law.
That's because neither of these things you mention are acts of constructing something out of the void. Something unique that will have to be maintained afterwards. Software Engineering has it's own challenges.
I feel that you definitely could say this of art like drawing or writing, but not software. Programming is a tool I use to meet an end. I decide I want to have this program, spend a week writing it, and have the program. That's using the skills I already have. I don't care how much I improve, because to achieve the result I wanted I didn't need to hit the books and practice for a month, improve, and come back again.

Maybe that's why I find it so hard to get into art.
This agrees with my experience as well. Stop giving point estimates.

I did give you a reasonable answer to your reasonable question: no. But this device is pretty much going to not be reliable by definition.

As for getting more complicated, and "can you in general build an SDR into an end product" it's my understanding this is not a settled question. I don't see why not, but the FCC can more or less make laws and has previously shown it does not like the fact that you can put OpenWRT on your router.
> Your statement would imply that the massive support for Trump is only due to people wanting to protect their privilege

No, I was addressing a claim about why people are becoming violent in the context of the Capitol insurrection (which, while a large mob, is not a large or representative share of Trump supporters).

Why that narrow group is getting violent and why the much larger group of Trump supporters support Trump have no necessary relation; they are different effects and different groups of people, but if you want to change topics from the violent fringe to Trump support mother generally...

> You are denying reality by ignoring the vast swath of poor people that voted for Trump because he claimed he would address their needs.

Trump lost most decisively among the poor, and won the better-off. This is an undeniable fact.

It's census data, so it's measured by what each person in the country states is his/her primary residence. So if Sue Aikens wrote down her river camp in her census form, it should be included in census data.

Although I'm not sure about a place that is a perfectly legal primary residence (the resident owns the title to the land, the resident lives in a permanent dwelling on the land), but that lacks a postal street address.
A better headline would have been "Amazon merges Prime Pantry > into regular .com site".

Not exactly. The products for sale are still for sale on the site, yes.

But the "pantry" product including a volume-based flat rate shipping. You entered products until you were told that your box was filled and then they shipped it to you flat rate. I used to fill it with kitty litter, dog food, cans of stuff and other heavy products.

Now kitty litter is covered by prime free shipping so why pay extra for pantry?

OTOH, one should not ignore conspiracy theories if one is trying to explain the actions of Q cultists.

That much is true.

On the flip side, I run Mojave and High Sierra in a QEMU/KVM and give it 8 cores of my 16 core Ryzen ThreadRupper, along with 32GB of RAM, and the result is a lot faster for non-graphics-intensive work than anything I can reasonably get from Apple at an even remotely comparable price. This means that the "build your app" case is actually way better than "native".

> Commercial and industrial areas are also likely to be green on this map.

IMO this is a big mistake by US zone planning. Having lived in Japan for a while, the ability to live in any zone and let the market figure it out has big benefits. Rents are comparatively low, even in Tokyo. We were able to live 10min from my campus as a family of 3 for $1k/month. There are small commercial centers everywhere in walkable distance, even 1h away from the center by commuter train. Everywhere you go there is life, people to meet, things to buy, festivals to attend, conversations to be had.

Carole Baskin Reveals What She Thinks Happened to Her Missing Husband
I actually prefer amazon fresh because they only show you items that are in stock. If something is out of stock, its out of stock. Where as ordering through instacart to a regular grocery store, or even the equivalent through kroger, safeway, HEB, etc, you have no idea if items are in stock. Half the time they are out of a pretty significant number of items and either are substituted or just not included entirely. Entire dinner plans can be ruined by a single ingredient being out of stock and you have no idea until after you've already ordered.

Since there are no shoppers going into the physical stores, amazon fresh can actually keep track of what they have.
When the local first nation wanted to be recognized as the traditional land owners in this part of BC, Canada, one of them would shoot en Elk every year illegally, then goto the Police station and try to get them to charge him.

He and they knew it would go to court, and the whole "land ownership" debate would finally come to the forefront. It went on for a decade before they did finally charge him, and of course it was his land (he knew that), so the charges were eventually dropped and that first nations tribe is now recognized as the traditional owners of the land.

> And it is decentralized. No central authority told Amazon to drop Parler; Amazon decided on their own.

Actually, Amazon didn't decide on their own—which is why none of us are surprised by their "decision". It was made for them, somewhere else. But where? By who? How?

You'd think on a site supposedly interested in computer science that people would be aware that distributed consensus is a thing. You don't need a literal monarch (or a conspiracy—same thing), there are many ways to achieve consensus in a distributed fashion that are extremely robust.

In fact, distributed consensus (as everyone here already knows) is substantially more robust overall. (Cockroach is more robust than Postgres, etc.) With a monarch, you can simply replace them—it's no harder than swapping in a new CEO. But with distributed consensus, the entire apparatus has to be torn down simultaneously. Yikes!

So ask yourself, what institutions are involved in forming consensus in the US today? Are they government, private, or both? Are they democratic or oligarchic? Etc. We know it can be done, the only question is: where are the nodes? How do they communicate? What's the protocol used? Etc.

The US today runs a distributed consensus algorithm that made Amazon's decision about Parler for them, i.e. the values and decisions made by that consensus filter down to supposedly "independent" businesses like Amazon, who implement them. And if Amazon disobeys that consensus, everyone else in the system (especially the press) will gang up on them until they do….

tl;dr There's nothing independent about what Amazon did, distributed political decision making in the US decided their actions for them.
I suggest you drop lifetime pricing for a pure SaaS model.

Both push different incentives and product paths. Recurring usage will give you more growth avenues than 1 time. Not to mention this is a product that actually needs constant updates, as well charge for it.
This sounds like a classic Solution In Search of Problem (SISP)". I think the author has a great idea but it just took so much effort to find the problem. When nobody jumps out of the chair and starts writing a check, then it is time to start iterating the MVP or pivot. I'm pretty sure there's a problem in the world that needs this solution, but it just take inundated effort to find product market fit. Instead, when you start with the problem it is somewhat easier to get to the point of the product market fit.
I think this is what people mean when they say "pain is inevitable, suffering is optional".

Estimating in terms of units is mostly for internal teams with a fixed payroll. It can work really great in that context. But imagine that you are asking for project funding. The person across the table logically wonders: how much do you need? You yourself logically wonder: how much do I ask for? In that environment, can either party really accept “who knows” or “5.5 units” as the answer unless money is not a concern for anybody?

The aversion to build tools is strange to me, for two reasons:

1) The pain points usually come when you're configuring things from scratch. If you're always doing solo greenfield projects, you can just carry around a boilerplate project and you should be able to largely avoid messing with configuration after the first time

2) "I optimize for performance and quality" Well, doing a JS build can help a lot with asset size and therefore performance, especially compared to doing a transpile at runtime which is what it sounds like this person is doing instead
> Household disposable income in the US is about 36% higher than France

I've seen the prices of procedures and drugs in France and in the United States (that is, before insurance, because no-one really worries about the price of healthcare in France given you get reimbursed more the more expensive your procedures are, which is how things are supposed to be), and it's definitely not 36% more expensive. Everything is at least 10 times more expensive.

> You wouldn't ask the government to build their own roads or bridges

Bad analogy, because we're not talking about the building of bridges (software), we're talking about where they are built.

In your example, the government surely wouldn't pay to have a bridge built on private property where access could be rescinded immediately if the land owner was so inclined.

Also, people with sensitive, itchy eyes tend to avoid contact lenses: this is a two-way relationship.

>the president asked his supporters to bring violence against his political opponents

This did not happen. Trump asked his supporters to march on the capitol, and then when shit got out of hand, he asked them to go home. Anything else regarding his words is a "reading between the lines" that's going to involve a lot of loaded, partisan-biased, and worst of all unfalsifiable claims.
