> Either you say that Covid was a natural occurrence or you are a conspiracy theorist (and probably a racist too).

Interesting how media coverage completely changed. Under the previous administration it was considered racist to even mention the theory and it's proponents were considered racists or conspiracy theorists. Why such a sudden change? China certainly didn't change its position on the issue...
We had political parties long before we had primaries. Presidential primaries were only introduced in the 1970s. Primaries for state office were introduced in the 1890s, died out, and were introduced again in the 1920s.

But we had parties going basically back to the beginning of the country, and the current two parties crystallized during the 1850s -- long before primaries. Primaries were introduced as a way of reducing the power of party bosses over the parties.
I totally believe that. I guess what I really want is high-performance Python. On the other hand, Nim has some years to go before it's mature.
>leverage the power of the government

Because people get paid to do those jobs, and the government mandating that they do it for free, or for some reduced price is theft of labor. We've already fought that war.
Sorry, I don't buy this concept that hordes of (or any, for that matter) predatory trans women are queuing up for the chance to prowl round changing rooms. Do you, really?

Say you're right. What stops them sneaking in right now? It's not like there are mandatory ID checks at the entrance.
Plenty of TERFs consider it a slur and negative. JK Rowling, for example, wrote: "...activists who clearly believe themselves to be good, kind and progressive people swarmed back into my timeline, assuming a right to police my speech, accuse me of hatred, call me misogynistic slurs and, above all – as every woman involved in this debate will know – TERF."
No, it isn't.

ACH fraud was 1% on 21 billion$. That's 210 million in total, way less than the 4 billion from the article with 1 Bitcoin scam ( of an exchange, again).

None of the ACH frauds were the exchange/bank running away with your money fyi.

And probably a lot of them, if end users, was even insured.

Edit:
Sorry. Made a mistake corrected below by a comment and follow-up.

0,08% fraud on 51 T. Is still way less than this sole scam vs. BTC market cap.
NFTs alone don't do anything special, other than enable trading of NFTs.

The NFT basically has a "memo" field where the issuer can put a link to a website that says "This NFT represents the source code for the world wide web", but that's it. You don't actually get or own anything beyond the NFT.

You can think of it like a digital baseball card that represents something. The advantage is that it's digitally unique and can be traded on the blockchain.

It's likely that these high dollar auctions come attached to contracts with additional stipulations beyond the NFT. I wouldn't be surprised if those contracts included clauses that allowed re-issue of the NFT in the event that it's lose or stolen, for example.
This begs the question of why it is acceptable for men and trans women to be raped, but unacceptable for cis women to be raped?

There is no justification for accepting any prison rape—or, for that matter, sexual assault, which cis women are entirely capable of.

(And, to be clear, sexual assault is not inherently a lesser crime than rape, rape is just a specific form of sexual assault, and depending on jurisdiction, may be defined in such a way as a cis woman can be a rapist).
I'm sorry, but this is a classic example of what I'm talking about.

> People don’t like their identity being debated.

But this is reframing. I'm not debating that someone is trans or should be treated with respect or anything like that.

> Bringing up trans women in sports as a talking point would be pretty upsetting to most trans women as it is likely to feel like you’re invalidating their personal experience of being trans.

Ok? Feelings might be hurt. Feelings are subjective. That's not an argument. It's also pretty upsetting for the women who are now competing at a biological disadvantage. Particularly in combat sports where there's potentially dier consequences for losing. What about their feelings?

> Trans people’s existence is not for you to challenge or debate.

Again... That's not what I'm challenging or debating at all. I'll be honest, I fucking hate this debate switcheroo. I'm not challenging someone's existence. Listen to what I'm actually saying. This is so annoying to me.

> The best thing to do in situations like this is to let the marginalized people figure out what they need and then quietly listen to their conclusions

No, it isn't. Not when it affects more than just the marginalized community. If their actions affect others (e.g. women) then it's not primarily up to just them to figure out what they want to do.

Again, this is nothing to do with hate or bigotry. I'm not "debating their existence". I literally don't know how much clearer I can be here.

Sorry, I can't respond anymore since my account has been rate limited.
The thing is, the "fully-funding" issue has completely vanished from the agenda. It is never discussed anymore. It's back to the same old "we need more funding to make a difference" rhetoric.

In fact, I recall the very day the legislation passed, the same advocates were demanding even more money.

I've lived in Seattle for over 40 years now. Long enough to see innumerable funding increases based on demands that "this time it'll fix the schools". Nothing has moved the needle.

One of these is wrong:

1. the way the school system is set up and run

2. our expectations of what the schools can accomplish

Money is just not the problem.

It's a cultural thing.

For example look at this footage [1] where Chinese police are using umbrella's to try and block filming of Tiananmen square.

In western culture you try to keep up the appearance, in Chinese culture you try to obscure or bury it.

So I don't think they fully realize how this looks to the western world.

those "prices" are misleading and are tantamount to wind and solar propaganda figures.

There is a major cost that is not accounted for here - the cost of balancing the grid. When wind turbines aren't spinning and solar PV is dead, the grid continues to function. The generators doing that have a cost and that cost is paid for by the customer. The source of the problem is the variable generator i.e. wind or solar but the LCOE figure does not account for this because that charge is not passed on to the renewable generator.

Those costs must be part of the LCOE figure else it is like saying that email costs zero.

The reality is that DRF documentation can fail at the edges because it's a big framework, however it's ridiculously well documented compared to 95% of frameworks or libraries I've used.

For the edge cases, you can read the source code; it's very clear and well commented. And if you fail to understand a feature, it's relatively easy to drop to a lower level of abstraction without losing too much.

Ex: don't like nested serializers in a read-only method? Just write a serializer method and return your own JSON. Can't grok ViewSets with mixins? Just use a regular API view and override what you need. Don't like routers? Use regular views, and so on.
The safest course of action is to avoid scrutiny, align with the recommended authorities and remove anything else. The context of their being under the microscope on a number of issues plays into this

Moving containers between hosts is not a use case that is well supported by docker. The tenor being that you should rather delete and recreate.
While not a replacement for docker, with LXD moving containers between hosts is a single command. In many aspects I find LXD's UX more polished and its capabilities more complete, so I often do recommend it to people. Even if just to containerize docker itself to gain some of the missing functionality...

This is a great comment. It seems to me that some in the US far right and left wings have an analogous view of using the political system as a way to garner publicity rather than governing. It's less obvious in the court cases. Many of the people associated with the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol folded pretty rapidly once they were indicted.
Without doing a deep-dive into the way you communicate I'd recommend that you broadly reconnect on shared values, like the importance of human dignity and compassion, before trying to proceed further in a conversation where it is starting to feel like other parties are treating you like a faceless adversary.
> I still don't understand why this went all the way to the supreme court. It's such a clear-cut case of free speech.

The previous Supreme Court precedent (Tinker, [1]) was from 1969, and it wasn't clear how it should/would apply in the case of digital speech. For example, a student can be off-campus and tweet something that is instantaneously seen by hundreds of students who are on-campus. It wasn't clear how Tinker's framework would apply to this, since twitter and other platforms for remote speech didn't exist at that time.

I second that. My family runs on Debian/KDE and evrybody is happy. Now to be honest, 99% of their computing stuff (ie tiktok, instagram, youtube) is done with a tablet). But for the rest (occasioanl browsing, text editing,...), it works perfectly.

Except for one or two bugs (mainly, using kde with several user sessions sometimes fails and one grub update that failed (but my setup has multiple drives and partitions)), they can handle it themselves.

But there are some things Linux has that makes it much better imho :

- only security updates (I run Debian stable), so you're not constantly reminded of rebooting your computer
- you're not constantly pushed to install this or that
- you don't have notifications about useless stuff
- applications , while admittedly scarcer, don't install stuff all other the place (more notifications) and behave well
- when I update Debian I don't have to update my computer
- endless support for some hardware (got a scanner for 20 years now, doesn't work anymore on Windows 'cos the drivers don't exist anymore)

For me it leads to a much quieter work environment and that counts a lot.

But sure, it's less polished than Windows or IOS. But, well, while "being in control" was a political stance for me 20 years ago, now it just feel so much better.

Sometimes I compare my Linux to TV : it's much better when you can watch it without the commercials.

I am not making specific claims about where specific individuals are classified in terms of sex, because I am not an expert. I am implying pointing out that the idea of sex as a discrete variable with two choices in humans is wrong. It is usually bimodal, in the vast majority of people (including trans people), where the chromosomes are XX or XY, and the gametes are eggs or sperm, and the external genitals are vaginal or penile, ovaries are present or not, testosterone is low/high, etc. However, there is no law of nature that these dimensions of sex agree with each other, or that there aren't intermediate states for any specific dimension. You seem so proud of the fact that "Klinefelter Syndrome are male" (failing to specify exactly why they are classified that way), but that doesn't help you deal with the fact that there is not rule that will classify everyone neatly into two categories, even if the rule in your head is "obvious" with "Klinefelter Syndrome".

I'm sorry but Evelyn Beatrice Hall first wrote those words in 1906, as a description of the beliefs of Voltaire, who died in 1778 and whose ideas were extremely mainstream at the time the US was founded.

These ideas long predate the internet and the Libertarian political party and to box them in as such and dismiss them carelessly is extremely intellectually dishonest and bordering on flamebait.

Additionally, if your best evidence against freedom of speech is Reddit, I suggest you retool your arguments from scratch.

Sure, my point was that, as far as I understand, even Haskell code that performed IO would have a well-determined order, if it was doing normal IO; whereas C++ code that does something as simple and safe looking as foo(i++, i) may produce different results in different runs (it was even UB before C++17, and still us in C; and even other common idioms, such as function chaining, had undefined execution order).

I never got too into C where I heavily used macros. I've seen some magic in C where you define function tables for objects and recreate object oriented programming but to be frank it's painful mimicry as well here. The best mixin I've seen is where you use function pointers to help de-duplicate code.

I would say C taught and learned correctly can teach you the memory model computers use and the concept of pointers. Other languages do other things better, like Java can teach you about memory management via garbage collection and references.

Hello! I've been a fan of the work both of you do for a while (fraidycat, etc.) and have been pretty excited about multiverse ever since you first started talking about it. However, one thing that has always rubbed me sort of wrong about your stuff is that, as far as I understand, you're employed by Facebook Labs (https://usesthis.com/interviews/kicks.condor/). This interview was the only place I've ever seen that mentioned (and granted it was Nov of last year), so it may no longer be true, but I've always found myself reticent to engage with some of your social experiments because they may be a veiled Facebook R+D project/something that FB would take over if it ever got "too" popular.

I'm hoping you could clear up your relationship to Facebook here and the stuff kicks does - I do truly love all the things you two come up with, but want some peace of mind that I'm not directly helping Facebook build it's roadmap. Thanks!

As Gun Ownership Rises in the United States, Black Imagery Shifts
The fascinating thing is that the "well the bad guys could form an army" argument sounds logical, but really isn't. You can't secretly recruit and train several 100,000 people.

The closest we've ever come to seeing this happen in real time was probably with German rearmament in the 20s and 30s, and they were telegraphing for decades what they were doing.

It does however raise the other problem - if people are willing to stand by and ignore obviously bad actors skirting closer and closer to the line, you'll have at some point a fairly big problem, and it depends on how long you waited.

That is the bigger problem of global demilitarization - the fact that non-action in the face of a violation usually plays better to a domestic audience than actually doing something. (This is a pattern that has and will play out repeatedly. That's the actual question that needs answering)
What exactly is extreme speech? I don’t recall for advocating for illegal speech.

Everything up to imminently calling for violence in the US is protected so if that is what you are saying then I’d agree with you.

However what is “hate” or “intolerant” depends on the person and identity group. E.g. “All lives matter, marriage is between a man and a woman, men can’t get pregnant, Muhammad was a pedophole, flipping the bird to a police officer” all would offend different groups of people but are protected speech.
Substack author Branko = HN user bko (aka submitter). Geez, what a weak unintellectual article, it's basically an FB or reddit rant from someone missing the point, but placed on substack instead.

I'm too lazy (lol) to refute your rant point-by-point, because like every other internet argument I'm sure you're certain you're right, but this part irks me:

> Sometimes people point out someone performing a grueling menial job and wonder why he isn’t “successful” despite his hard work. But they never stop to ask, what would his life be like if he stopped working hard? Would what little “success” he has now carry over, since you know, hard work won’t lead to success?

Oh well, I'm sure that underpaid menial worker appreciates it very much that you got to define what "success" means for him, "Hey don't worry about 16 hour days for $5/hour and still worrying about food and shelter and never having time for your kids, in my book you're successful!".

"Hard work alone won't bring success, you need a bit of luck" doesn't mean "just be a slacker", it means, well, I think it means, "Work hard and hope the cosmic dice lands correct a lot.".

Besides, the view that "hard work always equal success, let's not worry about luck" has the terrible flip side that you view unsuccessful people not as unlucky, but as lazy. And we just need to see how much this has shaped policy in the United States, like that imaginary welfare queen Reagan invented.
There's truth here, feels-over-reals is very much a problem in US politics. That said, feelings/perceptions have consequences if left unchecked. A few hundred people being "made an example of" by the police each year can functionally oppress an entire ethnic group in a country.

All that said, in light of the previous example, it makes the abortion fight seem particularly...whimsical...given the stakes. The evangelicals believe they themselves are going to heaven regardless of what the non-evangelicals do and those getting abortions don't care so it's rather hard to point to a group being oppressed by their beliefs here.
