If we're being binary, yes, both situations sucked. For some reason, most arguments I see regarding this fail to even see the slightest shade of gray.

I, for one, believe that taking over a city block and declaring it an autonomous zone is significantly less concerning than attempting to stop the presidential election -- arguably the single most important piece of our democracy -- from happening, calling for the death of the vice president while building gallows, and potentially looking for other politicians to kill.

Yeah, CHAZ was wrong and stupid. Yeah, the people who did it should get some kind of punishment. So should the people who destroyed private property during the riots, that's not cool.

But it seems pretty clear to me that the storming of the capital is so much worse than that as it is a clear attempt to undermine our democracy. I believe the response should reflect that.
Too many people here are unable to distance themselves from their ideological contempt for Trump to be able analyze this with a clear mind. There is not much of a case that Trump "incited" a riot. The fact that this was planned for months only further cements that.
USA here. Thank you for the well wishes. That means a lot to me.
To be honest I had almost forgotten about many of these events until you mentioned them again. There are just so many things going on that it's hard to fixate too much on one thing. That said, humans tend to focus on both the beginning and end of a time-frame. In this case, the Capitol raid has a clear advantage over the other things you listed.

The virus is in its own zone as far as memory is concerned. It's been going on for so long that it overshadows Trump to some extent
Neat! Happy to connect here: hello [at] distributed.press

There is literally no chance of that. IT would find this an intolerable burden for them to manage, and I doubt the devs would like it either. Most of them seem pretty enthused to get their hands on a m1.

I’ve known colleagues that tried to run Linux professionally using well reviewed Linux laptops, and their experience has been universally awful. Like “I never managed to get the wifi to work, ever” bad. The idea of gambling every developer on that is a non-starter even at my level, let alone across the org.
I'm feeling pretty good these days. My FTTH ISP has finally had a couple of solidly profitable months in November and December after going through a death march of a project last summer / fall. It's amazing what happens when the stress of being so close yet so far from breakeven is finally relieved.
The proxy should be verifying the cert of the connection it's proxying to so it has to either be malicious or buggy where it corrupts the software.

The proxy won't connect to bank.com with an invalid cert unless it's configured incorrectly (but the same is true of the OS anyway)
Wow. This is amazing! I'm building this using real breadboards and am at the part where I'm wiring up the LEDs to the 6522. While I find the act of stripping wires deeply satisfying, I love how much quicker someone can get going using this, as well as how much more accessible you've made this - it's a really nice intermediate step between just watching the videos and using the physical kit. Nicely done!

you failed to find a negative post until it was so old it was locked, and its hackernews that should change?

If you really care what the internet is saying about your business, you should be checking regularly. If you don't care about the internet (and I know several local businesses that don't), then its not a problem to bring up.
Quite. There are unconscious social dynamics that take place in the office that I rely on to stay on track and productive. Because we're not fully aware of these interactions when they happen, it's next to impossible to deliberately schedule them in a remote work environment.

I am a person who wants to focus, and I've realized that I rely on work related background noise like conversations and other people's whiteboard sessions to pierce my cone of silence so I can come up for air and see which way the wind is blowing. Basically, I find myself working on the wrong thing more often now, and I'm quite sick of it!
Sounds really appealing. Going from a warm tropical climate with affordable food, good transport, relatively good social services to somewhere cold, wet, lower standard of living, and in economic turmoil.
> Prison is meant to punish not reform?

slightly off-topic but I don't think a 58-year sentence will reform anyone more than a 10-year sentence would. The entire American prison system is built around punishing our prisoners.
Friend of a friend did the same thing as GP. I believe it “just” requires visa approval and quarantine.
Oh Man, that can also cause a lot of issues. If you call a function that has a return value but you don't actually need it, like invoke-webrequest, but you use an explicit return statement right thereafter things go haywire. I have yet to produce a proof of concept to illustrate this issue, but I came across this and it actually overwrites my return statement with the orphaned return value from the invoke method. Took me ages to figure out what was wrong, because debugging the application I could see inside the function that the variable I was returning had the expected value, but what was being bound to the outside was something completely different
The permutations you're getting are Cayley's Theorem in action:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayley%27s_theorem

Basically, there's a finite group that acts on the Rubik's cube, and every finite group is a subgroup of a permutation group if you squint at it right. (what's a 'finite group action?' The 'group' is a set of composable and reversible "moves." The 'action' means that the group moves are effectively state transitions acting on a set of states, and that the action is nice and associative: g(hs) = (gh)s. And 'finite' just says that there's only so many states possible...)

Really nice demo, by the way! Very fun to see the squares go flying.
There are a number of apps that display content that is licensed differently for use on a general purpose computer (where the consumer might have one or more 82" monitors connected) than on a handheld device.

BTW, In the not-too-distant future it will be possible to playback broadcast DRM content in apps using the consumer's underlying license to it (that's part of their cable, 5G or dish subscription as opposed to the lowly app developer spending millions) and, at that point, we'll probably see things like Continuity/Handoff work across devices for most content.
You can’t answer this question without both a technical design and projected user behavior/access patterns. And I don’t think you’re going to get data on this from these platforms themselves. Unfortunately, this question is impossible to answer in this format. If you want to build a “clone”, first design it and then estimate the costs of that design.

Are you attributing the comparison in your comment to Larry Wall?
I have heard two theories that seemed plausible to me:

1. The Capitol police are used to dealing with large protests. They happen frequently in DC, especially in and around the capitol. So they may have unfortunately assumed that there is no reason to think this protest would be different, and thus not prepared properly

2. They assumed that a pro-Trump, QANON crowd would be pro-police. This is probably not a bad assumption, some of the people were waving blue lives matter flags etc. If they assumed that, they might have assumed that they would not break the law and were under-prepared.

Another plausible explanation could be large portion of the officers were sympathetic to the cause, but I'm not sure I have seen any evidence of that yet.

You don't always have the choice to delay. Sometimes the sublinear cost is associated with something you really need to do.

Examples of sublinear costs:

- When you pay lower per-unit price by ordering large lots. But you can't just wait a long time and be able to afford a giant order; your first small orders may help you generate revenue that let you buy the later big orders.

- When your team is young perhaps you need 1 new laptop per new hire. A few years later, you need < 1 new laptop per new hire b/c some receive recycled laptops from departed employees. But you can't wait 3 years and then hire 100 people and 80 laptops.

- You're growing some infrastructure which serves/covers some territory. At first, all new customers are in new territory; the ratio of new infrastructure to new customers is high. Later, some portion of new customers are covered by existing infrastructure, and that portion grows over time. But even if you could afford to build everything at once, you may not know where to build most of it until you have a bunch of customers.

- I don't really know if this one is true, but a whole industry seems to believe that a burst of advertising effort all at once is more effective than a marginally greater volume of advertising spread over a longer period. But you can't do zero advertising for 5 years and then take over time square.

This isn’t necessarily something I’m proud of, but at my old C# job I would do inline C# in Powershell as a very hackish “C# REPL” for prototyping and interactive testing. At the time C# Interactive in Visual Studio was unreliable and I found it easier to just copy-paste C# code into a Powershell script.

It seems that C# Interactive has gotten better (and since leaving that job I have switched to 100% F# for .NET stuff). But a more useful application is using Powershell to bundle a .NET class library into a flexible, low-weight, modular command line application for internal use. For instance, a C# library which does serious analytics on large data, and then a Powershell script that deals with easier annoyances like AWS authentication or FTP access, argument parsing, and so on. Obviously a real .exe is a better long-term solution but I found Powershell worked really well for rapidly sharing compiled .NET code into a tool that data scientists on my team could use.

China is committing genocide and crimes against humanity against Uighur Muslims
Sometimes, people write as if the authorities in China really believe they can e.g. cease to teach people how to read and write, and speak a common tongue.

I know nobody here is quite that stupid, (although it bears mentioning the more theocratically regressive nation states we have around the world do actually do this, to women) -So this is at some level only a rhetorical complaint.

People need to understand that the Federated Chinese provinces and national government and the party are in a complex web of relationships, and power struggles have been a constant since before 1949.

Git, and use of open-source models and methods is not deeply alien to the Chinese political system, any more than Samizdat was unique to Russia. Many of the things done during the cultural revolution depended on people passing information, sharing ideas. The chinese fear of information and passing information has a domestic, as well as an international quality is what I am trying to say here.

So, there will be oppositional views on the use of Git inside China, and there will be attempts to regulate behaviour in ways which are a poor fit for what Git expects? Sure!

I don't beleive this is like digital communications as a weapon of soft power, something which was actively promoted by the US department of state, and explains some of their abiding interest in Internet governance, worldwide. I think this is something the Chinese face, and brought into their own situation completely unaided.

Lest we forget, Git was invented by Linus Torvalds, a citizen of an economiy in the non-aligned states.

I also don't use Facebook which is why I was asking. Supposedly after some more research it seems that Facebook has a feature that actually recommends private groups to people, which I was not aware of. It's interesting that they choose to do that, then.
You seem to be falling into the Historian's Fallacy[1]. (decision makers of the past viewed events from the same perspective and having the same information as those subsequently analyzing the decision.)

At the time COVID data was sparse and masks were seeing a shortage so that healthcare workers could not get enough to perform their duties. Was this the correct action, perhaps and perhaps not. You may also be correct with your conclusion but your recommendation is not been vetted by healthcare professionals and so there may be very large gaps in your knowledge (unknown unknowns) that make your conclusion seem like a no brainer to you.

Perhaps what you can do is take down the post and share it with a professional to see if it makes sense and if are any issues they see.

Lastly, medical advice comes with legal implications if someone follows it and comes to harm. You may be opening yourself to legal risk.

I know you've got the absolute best intentions, but it's our responsibility in this age of tech to be rigorous with truth and what we choose to broadcast to others.

Depends on how much physical stuff you need to work.

I'm writing a custom high performance capturing/compression software for a device connected to a tiny computer. The components that gets this barebones computer working have now been a permanent clutter that have displaced where I'm supposed to work on personal hobbies.

It is also a hassle every time we are required to sign paper documents as I don't have a printer (not that I can't afford it, but normally it would be a white elephant). What should take several minutes will now take at least 15 when doing stuff with PDFs and photographs of signs.

As I live alone and am quite picky on food, this also means I have to cook more often. So more kitchen tasks while making sure vegetables are consumed fresh. Not being able to do groceries "just-in-time" has also lead to some inefficiencies.

As work-personal boundaries are blurred, I also decided to pause my work inspired side project. Partly because of discipline (it helped me make work results, so it's very tempting to work on it during "work hours") and partly because it bothers me that my workplace can claim ownership on things they could not have come up by themselves and never knew they needed. Thankfully I was able to shift my mind on another interesting side project.
pretty much, just replace "shares" with "supply".
Null is probably a bigger mistake.

This is such a weird EO, wouldn’t this kill all USA based cloud providers? Or at least limit their ability on acquiring foreign accounts?

So long as I don’t need servers in the USA why should I choose a USA based cloud provider?

I feel like I’m missing a point here.
For what it's worth, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity publishes recommendations[0] for measures that digital services should implement to fulfil their responsibilities under the GDPR. One of the recommendations, K.6 is:

> User passwords must be stored in a “hashed” form.

These guidelines aren't legal requirements for every service, but if a data breach occurred, and passwords were leaked, regulators would presumably point to this recommendation, and the ease of complying with it, and take that into consideration when issuing a fine.

This is how we humans think of our outgroup.

While your ingroup is unique individuals with good and bad traits, your outgroup is an undifferentiated "them" that is selfish, untrustworthy, stupid, the reason for all these problems we're having, and we really may have to do something about them one of these days!
So I tried to see if they let me work from wework or some other shared space but I work with some equipment that can’t be seen in public
Even though I also haven't seen those kind of theories on the left, that doesn't mean that the information consumed is unbiased in the slightest. I mean, you have the sideplot of the Trump presidency playing out on CNN where every time he coughs there are calls for him to be removed from office for being a dementia patient... or something.

The point I'm trying to make with this winding comment is that you can still consume an unhealthy amount of biased media without delving into the levels of Qanon- expand your horizons and try other sources!

I personally even make it a point to read FOX and r/conservative once in a while through a critical lens to see what exactly the right is consuming.
> The thing about radios isn't true. You can remove them easily

Do you think cars still use the old ISO 7736 and ISO 10487 standards for radios? Those standard-sized oblong units where people would replace them with after-market radios? That's not the case anymore and hasn't been more than a decade or two. Car radios these days are an integral part of the cars computers and the infotainment system. They aren't removable or swappable.

If you ripped out a new BMW's computer what on earth are you going to do with that? It won't fit in or connect to any other model.

As others have said the USA is far from a free market. Instead the wealthy use the state to manipulate markets for their benefit, and the rest of us suffer as a result.

I've come to see "free markets" as the economic fabric on top of which we can build structures to support one another. For example we could form large healthcare collectives in a free market, as an alternative to state controlled health care (or insurance companies). I think a big factor is collective control versus minority control of the institutions that provide services like that.

As far as what a person without housing will do with the money - I'd rather offer the help than assume they don't know whats best for them. Even if they use it for drugs or alcohol as is often the source of much hand-wringing - then maybe it will help them get through the day. Of course, giving money to shelters is a good use of money too. And food banks.

this is tricky. Most of those workers don't have better options. Work in conditions that are illegal, or for much less pay elsewhere, and probably still illegal. Safety standards are not as high, but they get better as the companies learn from us. (Even at the least flattering look, cleaning up body parts and training a replacement takes time. Most people are better than that )

But I still avoid slave labor. The workers need to be free to leave for a better option if there is one.
>FTFY: in the US

No, in lots of places. In Scandinavia Facebook is "for old people".

>not everyone shares your opinion

I do and everyone I have asked (and maybe informed as part of asking) agrees. The thing is that people are lazy - it is not that they don't think Facebook is evil - they are just too lazy to do anything about it. Very few informed people sees facebook as Not Evil.
