It's pretty clear what's going on. The mass-media elite who dictate the prevailing narrative are telling the masses that it's good to support BLM and Antifa, while it's bad to support the others. Simple as that. "It's only bad if it's not my group doing it".

There is nothing more disgusting than a person who applies ideals and values selectively like this, who doesn't commit to the ideals themselves (gleaned from a related comment which I love [1]):

"I was part of a news and current events Facebook group a few years ago, when WikiLeaks was primarily known for leaking evidence of the US Military's abuses in the middle East.

Most of the people in this group were Democrats or otherwise on the Left. They cheered WikiLeaks and loved that it was exposing the abuses of a group they didn't like.

Fast forward to 2016, and WikiLeaks begins publishing damaging information related to Hillary Clinton's campaign. The same people who cheered WikiLeaks as it published very damaging information about the US Military now condemned it because it was targeting someone they actually supported.

This was a major moment of clarity and realization for me. It showed me that those who are quick to use ideals to defend their positions ("freedom of information is good, it exposes the US' crimes!") will just as quickly discard those ideals when they stop working in their own interest ("WikiLeaks should not be publishing damaging information about Clinton!").

I was disgusted, because these people were so quick to use a moralistic position built upon high ideals to attack the US but they were themselves absolutely bereft of a true commitment to ideals. Within a few weeks the group's attitude on WikiLeaks shifted from gratitude and respect to hatred.

When I pointed this out, I was kicked out of the group."

The bulk of the incidents weren't in this town, my wife and I have only lived here since November. The bulk of the events were in Indianapolis, IN and Greendood, IN. One year in Indy someone even stole a bunch of copper from Gleaner's Foodbank damaging the refrigeration system spoiling 464k USD in food https://www.dispatch.com/article/20070731/NEWS/307319840

Crime is everywhere, crime is random, and just about no person/business/charity is safe.

The bike guy is here in the small town, and on the town Facebook group since early November we've seen a dozen encounters with him, several of which have resulted in property damage. A car alarm is a nice thing to me with this guy pedaling around because it's quiet enough us and the neighbors would wake up to a car alarm, find it highly out of the ordinary, and start looking out windows.
> If Sony prints and distributed TLOU2 for $5 and sells it at GameStop for $60 they make like $40 give or take.

Game dev company makes a sale.

> GameStop for like $20. GameStop can resell it for $55 and pocket every penny.

Gamestop and previous customer engage in a private transaction. Gamestop accepts that the game may not sell at $55

Gamestop now lists it in their supply in _used_ condition and certifies it's playablity.

> Game developers respond with digital, micro transactions, tack-on half-assed multiplayer, etc.

That has nothing to do with the Gamestop's business decisions after they sold the new copy. The studio is trying to milk it for more money post sale. (Also don't forget season passes/online fees etc)

> GameStop is a middle-man that seeks to prevent as many dollars as possible from going to the actual content creators.

They performed that original sell. I'm not sure how this is preventing content creators from making money.

> Sony can print an infinite number of TLOU2 copies for almost nothing. They could let you download the game for less than a nickel. Obviously you can not make a game like TLOU2 if you only charge a nickel to play it.

But they don't. They'll still charge you $60 (same as in store pricing) for the online download. (Even though it's less valuable and more risky about how they feel about you that day)

I still don't understand your point here. Once the content producer/retailer makes a sale.. _you_ _do_ _not_ _own_ _that_ _copy_ _any_ _more_. That's the entire sales transaction. You can't dictate a private transaction after the fact.

There are julia implementations of continuation capturing [1] fwiw. Broadly though, I agree that 'lisp semantics' is a very fuzzy term. I'd claim this family has several strong semantic themes despite their differences. E.g. their approach to meta programming, their approach to dynamism, lexically scoped closures, and the everything-is-a-expression rule. Julia fits all these themes (and others), though it's dynasmism is a bit more restricted than most lispy languages, and it's AST is printed differently, even if it's internally represented and manipulated the same as other lispy languages.

You're probably right though that we wouldn't be tempted to group them together nowadays if it weren't for their syntactic similarities.

> A few cars (Acura comes to mind), do a bit better, in that they have a very soft, more pleasant beep instead of honking the horn

Pretty much all the European cars and luxury cars only use the horn on repeated lock button press and have a chirp for first/routine lock/unlock.

It's really the economy cars that primarily use the horn (presumably for the cost savings of not having a separate lock confirmation chirper)
If anything, the same is true for other platforms like Facebook and Twitter as well.

seasonality - We were getting on top of things at the coldest time of year.

Victorians already had antibodies - absolutely no evidence of this and plenty of evidence to the contrary, if we had antibodies the second wave wouldn't have happened.

we could just be a healthier - Healthy people still get covid.

we don't have subways - Plenty of packed commuter trains and trams, having them underground makes no difference.

Aside from all that, the case numbers correlate extremely well with when the lockdowns started and when their severity increased (https://chrisbillington.net/COVID_VIC.html), there are zero other rational explanations.
I strongly disagree and despise this kind of thinking. Don't get me wrong, OSS is awesome for tooling (shared by many creative professionals) but not for end products. An architect's tools can be open source, but an architect's plan is their own creative output that should not be open source if we make this analogy. Architects can get together and build better tooling for the benefit of all architects - OSS shines here.

This project is a creative output. Stop for a second with entitlement to the source code and just enjoy for what it is and how amazing this project is.

Do you go to museums and ask for what color palette the artist used? It's missing the point, isn't it?
You don't have to participate in the advertising bits of Brave; those are optional. But, they're a privacy-centric way to generate rewards which can be passively contributed to your favorite sites, sustaining their content creation.

I would love to hear more about your privacy concerns; we have excised quite a bit from Chromium. You can read about those changes [on GitHub](https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-...). We also audit our network activity to make sure nothing ever slips out. You can read about our [desktop](https://brave.com/brave-tops-browser-first-run-network-traff...) and [iOS](https://brave.com/ios-browser-first-run/) audits on our blog.

Perhaps more of interest would be an independent, third-party review and comparison. Trinity College's School of Computer Science and Statistics did a comparative review of Chrome, Brave, Edge, Firefox, Yandex, and Safari. They found that Brave was the "most private" in terms of phoning home. You can [read their review online](https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf).

Always happy to discuss any specific concerns you may have.

Part of the problem is that institutions are always highly resistant to the notion of right-wing, white violence being a serious threat, rooted specifically in its right-wing whiteness. See the Columbine shootings and the frantic finger pointing at video games, Satanism, and bullying, all to avoid facing the fact that what happened could be most easily slotted into the legacy of white dude rage in America. The dynamic both aggravates the people involved, who correctly hold that their true ideologies and aims are being obfuscated, and provides them cover.

It keeps happening because these institutions, often headed by white men themselves, are terrified of confronting their family, neighbors, or even their own feelings in a meaningful way. Anything that happens must be done quietly and carefully enough not to indict their personal identity.

Not anarchist. There's another way, as I see it. If you put a liberal, a conservative, a Christian, a follower of radical Islam, an atheist, a Buddhist and a paganist on a desert island together, they could find a way to work things out, and not step on each others toes.

Each does whatever they like, so long as they do no harm to anyone else. Where the least common ground exists, interactions are polite and restrained (to the mathematical extreme of minimizing any information transfer at all, if zero common ground exists); where greater common ground exists, speech and action can be more unrestrained.

If harm is done, then the harm itself is the issue. Hyperbolic example, to make it super clear: it's perfectly fine to shout 'fire' in a crowded building; however, if you cause harm you're on the hook. Not because you shouted "fire", but because you (one way or another, the means is irrelevant) caused people to be trampled.

The difference between that and the similiar position stated earlier is small, but I think there's a bright line: whether the speech is restricted, or the doing of harm is restricted. It's a trivial difference at face value, but the logical derivations are very different.

If one of the desert island castaways attempts to do harm to another, the rest of them might naturally band together to prevent and reconcile it. That's where I see government involved: the banding together, to prevent and reconcile harm done.

In that way, morality is untouched. No one inflicts their views on anyone else. Total ignorance of all moral hierarchies is preserved. Government says nothing about what may or may not be said. The only view inflicted on anyone is the minimum precept, 'do no harm to others'.

You're right, it's not Reddit, and "because you're upset" would take it in that direction. Let's not.

Does it bother you that many people are calling for exactly that wrt Facebook right now? I just checked comment history and saw no evidence of that, but I figured I'd ask instead of pretending to be psychic.

> Will Signal be taken down for refusing to add a backdoor?

I don't think anyone, including Apple or Google, considers Signal to be in the same category that requires moderation. Why not? Because there's this commonly applied but never defined distinction between public and private communication. Facebook is considered public, even though some communications there can be private. Signal is considered private, even though you can form pretty large groups of people who are nearly (but not completely) strangers. I wish someone would codify the difference, and its implications wrt moderation/takedown requirements. The lack of clarity around such issues is why both posters and platforms can claim immunity while toxic content spreads.
That might be in the city, but here in a rural setting you and your neighbors are most likely to go "something is wrong" and start looking outside, if not going outside to investigate. It's quiet enough that hearing 2 cars drive down the road in an hour is out of the ordinary.

I've seen domain experts solving something very niche in their area. Tech was just there to help, they did things by hand to begin with and brought in the tech expertise later. Very YC like.

Sadly, Greenwald is correct.

Absolutely, I figured the argument would stand stronger with 10 years as, even if you're of the mindset that prison works, 10 years is obviously more than enough for the "rehabilitation." If anything, prison seems to breed more resentment for the system that put them there in the first place.

I really think the entire prison system needs to be rethought from the ground up though. It doesn't make sense that excons carry this weight with them throughout their life, failing background checks. If someone's been released from prison, they should be done with their punishment. Period.
I'm not bad-mouthing anybody; somebody wondered if we have engineers on staff who worked at Mozilla. We do. I'm proud of the history represented in our staff.

Mozilla will always be given credit for the wonderful work they have done, and continue to do, for the Web.

> Big Sur is a Big Disaster

I may be naive but that seems like hyperbole. I updated to Big Sur shortly after is was released. It was a little bumpy here and there, but not more than any other update. I'd even argue it has been as smooth or smoother than any of my Linux major upgrades in the past 20 years.

I've lived all over California and it pretty much never happens outside of SF. Smashed car windows and poop on sidewalks are kinda still uniquely SF things, not general California things.

We still have Python, but use few to none of its OOP features. Almost all of our classes are just there to rig up SQLAlchemy (which totally blows, I regret using it). We're moving away from Python in general.
Isn’t that no different than saying, “you can disassemble an exe, so you can still see what it’s doing!” While not untrue, it’s not very helpful.

Although, webassembly is closer to .NET’s CIL. It’s still a form of assembly, but it’s a bit higher level which makes decompiling a bit easier than, say, an optimized (-O3) desktop program.
Code on github is open source, so copying is supposed to and expected to occur. The copyrights of the various projects on github are held by their respective authors, not by the US government. These authors have chosen to permit and encourage copying of their code.

Many of these authors are not even American citizens or residents.

Like it or not, Trump is allowed to dispute the results of the election. He's also allowed to do so openly and to a crowd. Language like "will not stand down" is obviously in reference to the "fight" for his "case" and falls in line exactly with the language he had been using at previous rallies and on Twitter. Was he "inciting" a riot then?

I hate that I even have to say this, because it seems childishly unnecessary, but I am not a fan of Trump. But I feel there is enough to condemn him for without grasping for straws.

I think the issue isn’t just police killing unarmed black people but also an incredibly large disparity in use of all physical force which your stats allude to:

>This paper explores racial differences in police use of force. On non-lethal uses of force, blacks and Hispanics are more than fifty percent more likely to experience some form of force in interactions with police. Adding controls that account for important context and civilian behavior reduces, but cannot fully explain, these disparities.

> It’s like DevOps and CI/CD: more frequent deploys are safer. This happens because each deploy contains fewer changes.

Is this generally true? Deploy as in going to production?

I join a web app project that didn't have any tests and the code was brittle, where changing one part of the app could break a completely different part without you realising. It was much more efficient (and less stressful) to batch up lots of small changes and do one thorough manual testing session of the whole thing while we gradually got the codebase under control.

It likely depends on how much automated testing you have, how bad it is if bugs go live and how quickly you need features live.

I don’t believe that.
