well, I'm not a state actor and I am a developer. So, I'm not working for state. I wouldn't come here to speculate if I were a state actor.

I'm here to tell you my opinions as a Turk and my comments should be considered as a part of freedom expression which is one of the core values in western societies.
It would have been bloodless had the Union just said "okay let's have slavery."

But they didn't do that. They laid down their lives instead.

Like I said before, picking out only the things we dislike and overlooking positives isn't productive or honest to ourselves.

> I'm sure if you took the people that hung that banner and made them hold hand with one of the students as they died, their enthusiasm would quickly fade.

Maybe this has a tendency to happen in larger group-think situations. Those bloodthirsty individuals weren't at Kent State, they didn't experience any of this first hand, but they were part of a group that was, on some level, afraid of the students, and hated what they represented. They lashed out based on group-think.

I blame the scale of our politics for this. The federal government should not be able to start a war without a referendum and a super-majority. Instead of real democracy and "power to the people" everything is becoming a federal issue, covered by a couple dozen national media companies, with everyone in a country of 330 million people lining up behind a thousand career politicians and talking heads, funded by the rich and multinational corporations. So much group-think. No less in the 1960s, I assume.

>I can hear past 25kHz

That is incredible and astonishingly rare. I must assume you under the age of say, 25?

At my young peak I could hear around the 20-something kHz mark, measured at college. I'm a bit older now, the peak will be far lower, but still, my ears are my living, they serve me well.

Have you noticed anything about your higher hearing range in day to day living? Irritations from electrical hum? Sleep? First to hear the door bell?

There's more to unpack here (such as anonymity being somehow an enabler of aggression) but hey... Let's arm everyone and see what happens!
Github does just fine. It's true that continuous rebasing works poorly in the Github UI (though I still do it anyway), which tends to forget ancestor commits if they get orphaned (you can end up with comments hanging off of stale commits that it forgot). Github's review UI prefers that changes to the PR be presented as new patches and not reworked versions of old ones.

I agree this is a poor choice, but it's not about merge strategy. In fact Github, when you apply a pull request, rebases it linearly by default and it goes into the tree the same way a "stacked diff"[1] would, preserving the linear history feature that is the whole point of that strategy.

[1] I hate that term, FWIW. The value being provided is a continuous linear history in the main archive, we should call it "branchless" or something instead of naming it after minutiae about how it's implemented.
I said it may belong to Apple, not that it does, and frankly, I don't see this bug with any other software so really it seems iffy, moreover, Apple is still part of the 'old guard monopoly retrograde cash-cow' which is my point.
The thing I don’t understand is why she was never formally charged. How do they go 20 years and never let her know in any way she’s charged with a felony. I could understand if it was a parking ticket, but not a felony.
the answer is, unfortunately, obvious.

though, it could also be the case that prosecutors need an excuse to drop cases like this, and negative coverage in the media is a good one.

I'm optimistic that it will decrease over time, because frankly it has been, if you look at history. I mean, I remember reading up on the "bog bodies" and they figured out that pretty much the whole lot of them died quite brutal deaths.

It feels like they're dropping the charge because there's no reasonable prospect of a conviction. After twenty years all the employees, and records, for the video shop have gone. There's no evidence.

This does make me wonder how many other similar cases are floating around.
Wow. Just wow.

Two times genocide awareness for the price of one, so to speak? I'll take it. Erdogan wouldn't have noble motives if he'd bring it up now, that much is clear -- but for once something worthwhile may stem from his ill intentions.
I don't think that's necessarily fair. There are expenses on each platform and paying a dollar or so to pay for those seem fair to me.
Oh yes, I am not disagreeing with you, on the contrary.

Well, apart for the "Apple apologist" bit. I would hate to be forced to install third-party app stores when they are allowed. We know the second they can get away with it, software from Adobe, Microsoft, and Facebook will be distributed only through their own app stores. I trust these companies far less than Apple as far as my personal and payment information is concerned.

But the points you alluded to are important and often overlooked in these discussions. The CJEU won't use the Sherman antitrust act or any legal definition from US laws. The EU has put competition as a supra-national religion, but they don't care about consumers in the way American courts do, and they definitely won't wait until someone has a monopoly.

I expect them to take the narrow view and ignore all security and safety aspects and force competition.
Any sources for that. I did a quick web search but didn’t find any conclusions to the saga.
The story here is an age-old struggle of East vs West, and more specifically of Christianity vs Islam.

The parallels with the past, centuries before the Genocide, and the present, are clear. This is a battle that will continue.

I support the US's long overdue stance on the matter. It is important to remember what it symbolizes. I wished we lived in a kinder, gentler world. But we have atrocities occurring all over the globe, even in 2021. The US should standup for marginalized people, wherever they are.

Show HN: Electric – A fast, futuristic Package Manager For Windows
Hey guys I'm Tejas a 14 year old.

Say hi to Electric! Website: https://electric.sh

Built over 9 months, Electric (Open Source) is the easiest and fastest way to install and manage software on Windows.

Electric allows you to install, uninstall and update any software using a simple command. Just open your terminal, and type `electric install s/w-name`! Boom, in a few seconds, the software will be installed on your PC. Electric is one of the first package managers which can install multiple software in parallel!

Electric runs the installer silently - you don't even see the installer popup! It goes through all those complicated menus so you don't have to and voila! Just like that, you've installed the software. Electric does the downloading, virus checking, installing and verifying if the software is installed correctly – with love, speed and accuracy.

Today electric has support for the 300 most popular software and it's growing each day. You can view all package electric can install at https://github.com/electric-package-manager/electric-package....

Electric is open source and it's built with a combination of Python and Rust. Some of the more performant components like the tab completion module and the installer (setting up web registry urls etc.) are written in Rust. Majority of the software however, is written in Python 3.

Here's the repository : https://github.com/electric-package-manager/electric
It doesn't look like a hardware implementation of ADA, more like a computer optimized for running ADA programs.

That is, you still need a compiler, with optimization, register/stack allocation, etc... before you start outputting machine code that is run by the hardware. However all the tricky parts of ADA, the task model in particular, are implemented in hardware.

So it doesn't make ADA an assembly language.

Maybe FORTH and LISP could be considered assembly in some circumstances. I don't know enough about these and their machine implementation to be sure but it looks like there can be a 1:1 relationship between these languages and machine code.
>The high compute cost of VP9 makes it computationally infeasible at scale in software.

I felt this pretty much sums up my thought on the paper. It was specifically designed for VP9. Given how the VPU Encoder Core ended up having the same speed in encoding both H.264 and VP9. Despite H.264 using around one fifth of time on Software CPU encode.

And also the reason I think why AV1 is widely deployed on Youtube. Although Google and Youtube repeatedly refuse this claim.

@jsnell Please Tell me you saw this paper on Doom9 :)
Hi, I'm one of these genocide denying trolls. Let me tell you a story.

In 1915, my father's family was living in Erzurum. While the men of the house were leaving for the mosque after the law passed, they warned the woman at home about not opening the door for whatever reason.

Their neighbors were Armenians for 40+ years and my father's family were their landlords. They never had anything unpleasant, but they wanted to be cautious nevertheless.

After they left, their neighbors came to say farewell. They opened the door. They killed everyone at home. Then the Armenians went to the mosque, killed all men there. Then burned the mosque down.

We recall this incident as war times, shit happens and never make a big issue of it. I personally had Armenian friends (we've grown apart, just life happened, nothing else). I never had any problems with them, and never will, but this "you planned and executed an ethnic cleansing" stuff is one-sided.

It was war, it was ugly. There are other factors at play, but I don't want to dig deeper. It's a big ugly hole which burnt everyone, and as a planet we should leave this ugly thing behind, because it became a political weapon of sorts.

We can discuss if everyone leaves the hate aside and talk over it. Unless that time comes, this is my only comment on that issue.

Also, I want to re-iterate that I don't hate any human being just because they've born under a certain flag, and I don't want revenge or anything. I just want to be able talk about this without being labeled this and that.

Have a nice day.

Edit: Downvoting won't bring my family back, thanks.
Wow... That TrustArc cookie preferences thing on their site sure is a piece of work. It takes 30+ seconds to completely load such that you can alter the preferences (or you can click allow all immediately), and then after you change it to turn off advertizing cookies, it goes through a slow percentage calculation. I gave up after 3 minutes, when it was at 64%.

It's quite obviously delaying as a dark pattern to make you give up and allow everything, but I wonder how legal that is?

Update: I left it running to see what would happen. Once the artificial delay completes, you're presented with an ominous warning:

"This page transmits information using https protocol. Some vendors cannot receive opt-out requests via https protocols so the processing of your opt-out request is incomplete. To complete the opt-out process, please click here to resubmit your preferences."

Clicking on that link brings you to another page on their site that basically does the same thing, except with the following warning:

"Some opt-outs may fail due to your browsers cookies settings. If you would like to set opt-out preferences using this tool you must allow third party cookies in your browser settings.""

All preferences are of course set to "Yes". Changing them to "no" and submitting again does the same artificial delay with percentage that slows down the closer it gets to 100% (and then sticks at 100% for good measure).

After this 5 minute process, it finally says my preferences have been saved, but with all these caveats, I wouldn't be surprised if it's tracking me anyway, using those warnings about browser settings as a fig leaf to hide behind.
Maybe but maybe it wasn’t him either. Maybe a kid did so or maybe another patron overheard her name and used it.

I think the article uses an odd way to frame it. To me, a rate should be measured in "people per year" or "people per year normalized by population size". Meanwhile the article is using the word "rate" to refer to what is actually the ratio between two different rates.

The FBI stats seem to back up the above commenter (however one would expect policing biases to be reflected in their statistics). If you compare a random white person[1] and a random black person, the black person is ~5x more likely to be murdered by someone of the same race[2]. Even though the absolute number of murders is about the same, the population sizes are very different, which lines up with one group being disproportionately represented in arrests[3]

1: It's worth noting that the FBI stats lump most Hispanic/Latino people under 'white', I'm not sure if the numbers would look different if you used the colloquial definition of 'white'

2: 0.001% chance of being murdered per year vs a .006% chance

3: If anything I think that's proof of of institutional racism's impact. I'm guessing the disparity is really just showing income inequality

I think you are kind of overlooking that the situation is a bit more complicated than just some of the defectors telling conservative pundits what they want to hear. It seems to me from a little digging that detainment of former citizens of the North by the NIS is indeed a coercive process that happens long before the defector even has opportunity to speak to the pundits. How can this be simplified so much?

PirateChain (ARRR) Crypto Up – Privacy Matters
PirateChain (ARRR) Crypto up massive - Privacy Matters
It's interesting how some genocides become more politically charged than others. Japan has trouble acknowledging their genocides, but they rarely complain when other countries do. America is generally similar. Germany has conducted a massive campaign to root out genocidal sympathies.

But it's particularly surprising with Turkey, because, unlike Japan or the US, the Republic of Turkey replaced the Ottoman Empire by a violent revolution. They have more of an excuse than most countries to claim they are not the direct political descendants of the genocidaires.

So it seems reasonable to infer that Turkey's rationale for denying the Armenian genocide is not to save face, but rather is rooted in resentment for what Turks see as a long campaign by France and England to weaken them and constrain their influence in the Mediterranean. Turks point to the discrepancies in how we see Christian genocides of Muslims in the Balkans and the Caucasus vs the reverse in Anatolia. For example, nobody mentions the Circassian genocide 40 years earlier, even though it occurred on a similar scale. The original version of the Treaty of Sèvres, which cut Anatolia into pieces, is a particularly sore point.

The truth is: No one cares. I mean, very few people really care.

Mobile phones have been able to bring computation to the masses, including poor countries. PCs were a luxury item even in the Western World.

Accessibility and standardization have been the driver of this change, not customization.

After all, mobile phones are now sort of a mass product like TVs back then. No one really "owned" a TV either.

You can call these masses ignorant, but I think most just want to live a good life with a handy tool that works.

No, because that’s what the Union said—that preserving the Union was more important than abolition. The South declared secession and attacked federal facilities anyway.

The South’s overweaning fear of the distant future possibility of abolition backfired and accelerated it.

That's already a pretty big difference by itself, but in addition to that the Play Store is much more permissive about use of third party payment providers. So e.g. Apple can (and does) sell Apple Music subscriptions on Android without a 30% tax. The converse is not possible.

> In college I took a class on Turkish / Ottoman history that was incredible, except for when we covered the genocide. The professor clearly had been thoroughly educated on the subject, but had internalized a very different understanding of the sequence of events, and of course never called it a genocide. What I took away from that class was how ingrained the official Turkish version of events is in the historiography and how even experts in history of that reason don't believe, or want to believe, that a genocide took place.

How had the professor been educated, and what was their perspective? Were they Turkish?

(A bare sequence of questions can seem confrontational, so let me be clear that I don't mean that—I'm just curious about what the teaching looks like from the "different understanding" point of view.)
