I just want to be clear – I said it is a small, vocal minority on the right. Most of "the right" rejected the MAGA conspiracy theories and stopped supporting the FUD. As I have pointed out, even a lot of the mainstream right-wing media has started to "deplatform" people who continue speaking about this "problem". The Supreme court and other courts have thrown out 98% of all the cases, after applying rules of standing and evidence [1].

After all that money came in to campaign promising to "fight for every LEGAL vote to be counted", Giuliani never even applied to the supreme court. A lot of it seems to have been about taking in massive amounts of money (up to 1 billion dollars) from faithful Trump voters via the campaigns. Giuliani distanced himself from Sidney Powell who actually wanted to go to the supreme court, seemingly in order to not share the large sums of cash coming in from MAGA supporters.

Also, I am not "a dem". You assume too much.

And btw, many people on the right, including social conservatives and fiscal conservatives, are also very critical of the Republican leadership. Here is far more information about why[2].

You're absolutely right, but I'm still happy that someone created a full-size prototype of it outside the lab, and is testing it, tinkering with it and putting it out there so people can also try it and experiment with it.

The way this library works is the data is embedded in a table, which then gets converted to a chart by CSS - so if the CSS is disabled, the data is just presented as a table of numbers.

I'm not sure if SVG can be written so that it gracefully falls back like that. You could generate SVG from the table using JavaScript, of course, and just hide the table with JavaScript.

Well, this is the discussion I'd like to see.

You have people born in the 90s hospitalized in Norway now. Many experience long term physical and cognitive effects. And as long as we're assuming everyone goes unvaccinated, the chance of contracting COVID goes towards 1 over time, while the R-number explodes as we open up society to avoid economic ruin. Not a good scenario IMO.

As I said, the relevant comparison in the real world is versus waiting for another vaccine, where it the choice is much less obvious, and dependent on the disease level in the population.
Woven metal tires are old. And nitinol is also old (it was not developed for the rover, a wiki check would show as much).

But the combination is new. I imagine the conversation went

'well. We need them light, strong and elastic, and you only get two...'
' hol up, there is an option, you heard of nitinol?'

And thus, cool history.

The reason `fib` is a useful benchmark here is not because `fib` is an inherently parallel problem, but because the functionality is obvious and it's easy to parallelise.

That seems easy, set an alarm on 4.30 or 4.45 as a warning, then add a scheduler / cron job to shutdown at 5.

However from my experience, I tend to slack if my tasks aren't urgent, and only productive for 4 hours a day (2 before lunch and 2 after).

IMO it's fine since it feels more like marathon than sprints. If I want to be more productive, I need to raise each tasks's sense of urgency.

Your "standard evolutionary math" still assumes relative birth rate differences as they are right now will stay the same into the future. They aren't stable right now and haven't ever been. A foolish assumption, but useful for certain world views.

And as those relative differences change and even invert in some cases, there really is no case to make for the idea that this supposed evolutionary effect could reverse what we are actually seeing in the real data.

Oh, yes, I agree. I thought about that but thought it would just overcomplicate my point. I just think it is... ironic? humorous?... that ultimately the whole big rush to displace Microsoft was indeed based on correct logic... it's just that I can't imagine how it could have ever worked out for them by, let's say, 2005. The tech stack simply wasn't there and I can't see what would have changed that fact, even in hindsight. The web has nearly killed the Microsoft office suite... with Microsoft's web office suite.

This happened to me in high school. I was taking some of my buddies home from football practice and was pulled over. Me (the one white guy) and two black guys. A sheriff's deputy pulled us over. He asked us to get out of the truck and sit on the ground while he asked us questions, a lot of questions. A few minutes later another deputy showed up and asked if he could search the truck. The deputy that pulled us over was black, the other was white. They thought I was buying or selling drugs. Given the amount of drug activity in the area, and that the area was mostly black and I wasn't gave him reason to pull me over.

If someone wants to say my privilege was not living in that type of area then I guess maybe, though my situation wasn't too much better. This whole notion of having privilege is absurd.

I work in the academic space, and I think this is a great initiative. New ways to get more people more skills are always welcomed, and Google can bring with it a lot of attention and prestige.

Since they're being hosted on Coursera I will hope that they will persist even if/when Google loses interest.

Ask HN: Have iOS app in Swift, stuck between cross-platform & Kotlin for Android
Hi everyone.

I currently have an iOS app developed in Swift, and want to extend my app's reach to Android. Since I plan on sticking to Swift for iOS, is there any benefit to using a cross-platform language (i.e. React Native, Flutter, etc.) over Kotlin for Android?

Some things to note:
(1) I have a good amount of experience in React, Python, Java
(2) I'm looking for the solution with the: best performance; best productivity (i.e. installation, hot reloading, etc.); easiest way to share backend code logic (since I don't want to repeat my backend logic twice between iOS and Android); best ease of use; I have another person working on this with me

Thank you!
Exactly, but you have to go with the tech latest fad as many here seem stakeholders in it. Once you are invested, you can’t criticize in the same way. It’s castles in the sky to me. It has “bubble” written all over it. There is little in NFC or Bitcoin-like technologies that I see as a great benefit to the human species.
