> People hate Biden for stances he has in the past and they bring them up regularly.

> People are thrown in prison for decades to keep them away from everyone and then they’re denied jobs on then basis that they were once a criminal.

These two things are related though, are they not? Biden wrote the '94 crime bill, which contributed to this criminalization. Sure it's good that he admits he was wrong, but do we just forgive and forget? People's lives were ruined. Considering he is accountable to the public, doesn't it make sense this poisons people's opinions of him for good?

For instance with gay marriage, Bernie Sanders was supportive of gay marriage much before Joe Biden was. Should Bernie not be credited with being ahead of the curve with this, and should it not give him more credibility that he did not flip his opinion when it became popular?

I think this applies even less to large orgs like the FBI where the is a lot of inertia with regards to cultural shifts
The aliases he’s talking about are all set by default. Most of them IIRC are just simple abbreviations- for example Get-ChildItem is gci.
In my experience, appending "site:reddit.com" to the search terms almost invariably gets me better results.

I vaguely remember having slack time when there was truly nothing to do, everything was humming along, nobody was asking for anything. It's been a really, really long time.
In my opinion crowded cities really suck, during pandemics. I love to huge city I'm living in. But during the last 9-10 months I only had all the downsides of city living and none of the upsides. If I were not that attached to the apartment I'm renting currently for how hard it is to find one with its characteristics for the price, I would have long ago terminated the contract and moved to the country side for the time being as a large part of my colleagues.
You have to be clear that you're talking about developers here.

For the rest of the company, MS Office may very well be essential. In particular, Excel is king for many business functions.

Assuming the imported materials are rare earths, then it would probably be the vast majority of their imports from China. Rare earths are another area where the rest of the world has ceded a critical strategic bottleneck to an adversarial regime.
> This implies that Tesla can view the vicinity and location of your car at any time. Is that true?

I don't think the cars have the bandwidth to stream it in realtime, but they do upload bits of camera and telemetry data to help train Tesla's self-driving software. The car has settings that let you opt out of this data sharing.

Regarding location data: That's true for most cars sold today and it isn't particularly new. How else would cars have turn-by-turn directions? I think it was 2011 when GM began storing GPS data from cars with OnStar. Even if you avoided owning a car with GPS, there's still the issue of automatic license plate readers. These days, the only way to guarantee that your drive won't be tracked is to steal someone else's car.

If you're like most people, you carry your phone with you. That means that Apple/Google knows where you are. Ditto for your phone company and probably quite a few other companies that have apps on your phone. And if you don't have a phone or a car, you probably walk past a bunch of cameras every day (including cameras on self-driving vehicles). These cameras will only get smarter and more numerous.

Privacy is dead. Most people just don't know it yet.
So it’s OK that someone died, because your political framework is aligned with some ethereal goal of CHOP. Based on the definitions stated in this thread, you support terrorism.
> it can thus be surmised as “One has the right to commit legal actions.”.

The whole point of the constitution is to put a limit on the law. The government cannot pass a law forbidding a certain kind of speech as it would be unconstitutional.

> One already has the freedom to do whatever one wish, so long as it not thread over the bounds of the law.

You have it backwards. The law can dictate whatever it wants so long as it does not thread over the bounds of the constitution.
I too have a position and its been such a crazy ride. I started following it around $15 for just the sheer curiosity.

Its funny, I went through all the bear arguments at first, but as I kept reading and digging in deeper, the bull thesis became apparant. RC signing on really sealed the deal for me and $GME is now my largest position.
They do not need their own innovation, that would require pesky freedoms, they can just steal it from freer societies. China has been been very good at keeping their cake and eating it for 30 years.
My son read some book -- he and I can't remember the name of it -- that more or less said "People in less developed countries line up around the block for jobs at multinational corporations because they pay twice as much and beat them half as much...before Westerners learn of the appallingly low pay, have a cow, threaten to vote with their wallet and insist on better treatment for those poor schmucks."

Economic deals are routinely rooted in "It costs less to make it here for some reason. That's the whole appeal." and if you say we can't make those deals, you are more or less saying "We can't do business with those nations and should treat them all like charity cases where we can only send aid out of compassion for how much it sucks to be them while actively denying them the chance to participate in the world economy and improve their situation."

Having been offered that same deal for a number of years as a homeless person, I can assure you that no one provides you a secure middle class life out of the goodness of their hearts and denying someone the opportunity to establish an earned income because of some kind of stated high ideals while also failing to take care of them in the manner to which you believe the entire world ought to be accustomed amounts to a big fat "Fuck you and the horse you road in on. Not my problem. I don't actually care about you. At all. And never will. I just like virtue signaling while being horrible to everyone poorer than me on some bullshit excuse or other."
> As I said before, I have zero tolerance for the violent people at the Capital.

As you spend your entire comment denying the huge amount of violence that happened that day. Man you are really sold on ignoring any of the violence that happened that day, aren't you?

https://d2hxwnssq7ss7g.cloudfront.net/x2GqSN2kAGY3_cvt.mp4

There are a great many more videos of violence happening that day, but really you only need one video of insurrections, in the capitol building after they broke in, fighting as a mob against an out-numbered group of frantic police officers, to conclude the event was violent. You can't have a group of people nearby or inside the capitol building literally beat a police officer to death and "undo" said violence by having a lot of people outside the building standing around outside innocently shouting, "Hang Mike Pence!"

Also, although it seemed like everybody posted every video they took that day, that probably isn't true. It's reasonable to believe that these people had some inhibition from posting videos in which their side obviously looked bad, which would bias the corpus of videos to be that much more "friendly" to the insurrectionists.
Wattpad to be sold to South Korean internet giant for $600M US
Brave is the new firefox...or should I say the old.
A free market has no morals, it's up to the participants to instill some.
That’s a bit loose. Terrorism aims to inspire terror, those violent acts have to be extreme and indiscriminate to do so.
For what its worth I've been thinking about going to a Mac M1 laptop for email/HR plus an small-form-factor Ubuntu box for development (i.e. Intel NUC, Asus PN-50) that I can ssh into and run headlessly locally.

With a hybrid 1-2 days in the office and the fact that the NUC form factor has gotten smaller and higher performance, I could make a case to actually stick it in my laptop bag for the 1-2 days and do email/surf only on my train commute. I was never really that productive working on the train anyways.
> I really do think we have to be mindful of judging other cultures against our rich western values.

Sure, but it's not as if China is in favor of it either. They periodically crack down on the factories doing this.

I suspect you can go almost anywhere in the world today and find most people will prefer their kids to be in school than working.
Anyone would like to try IPFS in Browser, you can use the IPFS Companion(https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion) and IPFS-Desktop(https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop). IPFS Companion supports many mainstream browsers.
I honestly believe that antifa is not an organized entity.
Antifa exists as a vaguely defined concept around the idea of counterprotesting right-wing groups. Its the same thing as the alt-right, an ill-defined idea that can be whatever bogeyman you want it to be to whoever you want to scare.

This is the problem. You asked if people really don't believe that antifa is real. Obviously it is real in some sense since we are talking about something called antifa, but we have no idea if you are thinking of the bogeyman organization that doesn't exist, and I am thinking of a philosophy of counterprotest.

When people talk about 'getting rid of antifa' there's a reason that so many people on the left laugh. It's because there is a false conception on the right that it is some sort of unified organization like the ACLU or NRA where you can literally be a card carrying member. People on the left understand that there is no such thing, it is just an ill-defined idea.
As I said, they did have weapons. Not an overwhelming amount of them certainly, but more than enough to pose a threat if they managed to capture Nancy Pelosi.

And again: if you have the support of the police (and potentially also the armed forces) it’s all pretty moot anyway.
> "Are you building a Serverless Framework app on AWS?"

Nah, my enterprise customers are mostly on Azure. But, yeah functions are useful sometimes.
If this were any company other than Apple, would half the comments here be underplaying the severity of it?
It can be both. Police racism is a real problem. But saying ACAB ("All Cops Are Bastards") is both untrue and hardly improves the situation. That said, I don't believe the majority of the BLM movement is that extreme.
He should declare that America committed genocide on the Native American Indians.

He should declare that Australia committed genocide on the Aboriginals. You have to ask, why are there no Aboriginal politicians in the Australian political class?

He’s just a hypocrite.
Honest question, what are you referring to when in regards to published/public content?

All of these topics you've mentioned are and always have been far away from trending ('amplified', 'normalized') pages. You can't go anywhere on these sites and see these topics without searching for them, and when you do the hashtags are either immediately taken over by the rest of the users on the site or taken off of trending deliberately by administrators, often both. Can you provide one example of these topics consistently being 'amplified' or 'normalized' by one of the major tech platforms? I'm talking public content, not private groups. Posts that are 'amplified', not just present. You can find posts from anyone about anything online, so I don't really see what separates these private facebook groups from something like a mailing list. It doesn't seem "normalized" at all.

I believe sqlite does the same thing.
This thread started with you saddened at folks downplaying the events at the Capitol.

I'm much more concerned with the media being complicit in downplaying what we both agree is domestic terrorism elsewhere.

I suppose that's a "what about", but I fear the current structures of power colluding to form narratives more than angry trumpers.
If you're "below the noise floor" you may well be under Part 15, which is the "who the hell cares" part of the rules, and you're fine.

If your signal is strong enough to interfere with common uses of the band, well, then that's why people care.
Genuinely interested how a sane person can be a communist in the 21st century.
No, other browsers and extensions use a gateway. This is a Go-IPFS local node, downloaded on demand (or you can run your own and connect via it).
I grant that it's nice to have relevant content presented. But I'm not in favor of profit-driven companies controlling social discourse with their secret algorithms.

Couldn't there be a way where users have more control over this? Perhaps recommendations to friends, user ratings, stuff like web-rings, etc.

Even the fact that these algorithms are secret gives me the creeps. The political problems we're seen have been accidental, what happens when someone is using these to manipulate everyone on purpose?
> Yeah, fuck selling products to customers, you've got a bunch of consumer data you can monetize.

I mean, the quote is accurate. GameStop is a middleman in a market where it is completely trivial for producers to sell directly to consumers. That's not a good position to be in, and there's absolutely nothing stopping anyone in the world -- even you! -- from setting up as a competitor and doing a fundamentally just-as-good job. Their business selling products to customers is thoroughly obsolete; it relies on the customers having computers (to run the games) but no internet access (to buy the games).

So it isn't surprising that their business selling products to customers isn't really considered an asset of theirs, and that strategy discussions look for something they can do better than a random guy on the street.
Even with an alarm... our car was stolen from our (detached) garage. If anything, the garage gave them ample cover to work in privacy, actually.

Still not sure exactly how they did it... Our vehicle has physical keys, no wireless fobs or keyless entry, so it wasn't a relay/clone attack. They basically just stripped out the ignition, and busted out all the interior lights, and did something in the fuse box (probably pulled a fuse or something to disable the alarm while they worked on the ignition cylinder). We have them on video driving away in our car... Apparently Kia really sucks at anti-theft.

We still had all keys in our possession, too. Normally, if you unlock or open the door from inside, while it's locked, the alarm goes off. The car was recovered only a few blocks away, parked in an alley, blocking someone else's garage. I got videos of the thieves walking away down the alley after ditching it.

They left actual valuables in the car/garage like tools, sunglasses, camping gear, etc... and destroyed a lot of nonsense things. The only valuable thing they took was the dash cam.

As it stands, the garage, the alarm, the steering lock, key requirement, and video recording did little to stop them. The garage was locked too, and very well lit with motion activated flood lights. I don't know what else we could have done other than have the garage secured with motion/door sensors and a very loud exterior siren/strobes... to protect our shitty 2011 Kia. lol, right...

Basically, thieves gonna thieve, and vandals gonna vandal.

wow. they even copied the contribution map. Is it also cloning github repos and hosting on gitee? Why does US gov put up with this crazy wholesale censorship and copying?
Are the Cython and Pythran codes running in parallel? To do that with Julia: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/multi-threading/

Or https://github.com/JuliaFolds/FLoops.jl
Or they paid exactly the right amount of attention to it and it's only the media that's blown it out of proportion. Had this been a BLM protest it would have been one of the 'mostly peaceful' ones with questions about why a rent a cop killed her when the professionals in front of him didn't think it was a situation to use deadly force in.

The hypocrisy from both sides is astonishing and the reason why cops can kill whoever they feel like: half the country will cheer them on because that {anarchist,nazi} deserved it. I find it sickening that I share a citizenship with blood thirsty savages with no concept of empathy.
Is this meaningfully different from the user's point of view than just subscribing to a set of different subreddits? What does the user or the host get out of using federated servers?

From my POV this seems to be the same issue that has prevented federated social networks or chat services from taking off: there's no meaningful, concrete advantage to it.
Not really sure what such satellites are capable of in terms of communication with ground stations or semi portable clients, but since they seem to offer only leo and sso orbits probably a dead drop for messages or other non real time communication. Wiki like collaboration would be interesting to tackle with low bandwidth and something like a once a week syncing.

A stationary orbit would be much more interesting as in that case you can have more fun with closer to real time communications. Mesh networks over a couple of groundstations and satellites. It would be even more interesting if the satellites could talk to each other and create mesh networks.

——

Some more practical information would be great for people such as my self who don’t really speak space jargon.

What are the technical capabilities of these satellites? Ie. Area of coverage, bandwidth, what kind of hardware does it require to communicate with it, what are the hardware limitations of the cpu/mem/disk, what protocols does it speak, can we add off the shelf hardware to it (pi, fpgas, etc). That kind of stuff.
This was discovered through the supplier transparency reports that Apple provides. Apple tells suppliers what they expect, and then when they audit the supplier they report the findings and work with supplier to clean up their act.

In this case the the supplier violated child labor policies in what looks like 2 successive audits 3 months apart.

The Information is taking the position that Apple should have immediately dropped the supplier instead of continuing with them. It is written in a way that sounds like the supplier was out of compliance for three years, but we are not told. It should be in the transparency reports.
There was an excellent article by someone from a place where a failed coup led to a real one a couple of years hence. Democracy is not 'intact', it is now damaged, and whether or not manage to repair it remains to be seen.

The most dangerous thing you can do now is to think this is behind you and from here on in everything is normal. It isn't and it probably won't be for some time. If you manage the next two transfers of power at the end of election cycles without further mishap I'd say that you can say democracy is intact. Until then all bets are off.

Edit: I wished I could locate the article, so far no luck.

edit2: finally found it in my history, this article was from 11 November 2020, and very prescient:

When it's hard to make a living out of open source software, that's detrimental.
Agreed. I’m not super knowledgeable but AMD just caught up after years of Intel stumbling to get to 10nm. Intel’s 14nm chips are still very competitive with AMD, so it seems that Intel on 5nm should beat AMD on 5nm, for example.

Intel will either solve its process issues in its own factories or, worst case, they outsource production to TSMC - either of which eliminates any process/manufacturing advantage held by AMD and Apple.

On a 5-10 year timeline, I don’t see a reason for Intel to continue stumbling on 5nm and 3nm processes though.
> IPFS, Hypercore or some other protocol available to the mainstream, whether that be in Firefox or by some other means

TIL about hypercore! Looks like an interesting concept based on append-only logs. It reminds me of this work being done at VMware: https://github.com/vmware/node-replication
Not to mention Brave was co-founded by the former CEO of Mozilla and one of the influential people of the Netscape days, Brendan Eich. So it's only logical that a portion of Brave devs are former Mozilla/Netscape people.
Yes, I agree, and tried to capture this sentiment in my edit. It's easy to sit in an ivory tower and sniff about how the masses don't agree with you, and it's much harder to find an intersection point that fires up the masses while also doing some good. The latter is how change actually happens, so I give a lot of leeway to activist or policy groups when it comes to not having perfect policy goals.

BLM 2015 didn't quite meet this tradeoff, and was in some cases explicitly against race-blind solutions to police violence and in favor of pseudoscience like IATs (at which point their detachment from reality points them in the opposite direction from managing to do good). BLM 2020 is pretty different in character, and while it still has its stupidities, I reckon that it's a decent enough direction that it may lead to some positive change.

Do you have a link to confirm that? I thought that Pfizer/BioNTech as well as Moderna used HEK cells solely for testing.
