That's not astroturfing/ideological manipulation, and it's not strictly evidence of voting manipulation either: people do legit like meme T-shirts and want to buy them (no, I am not in that category).

Regardless, voting is just one check on bad behavior. The other one is moderation, and at least on the subreddits I visit, moderators are strict on financial self promotion, but it can still vary.

Even on Hacker News comments there's people talking about "hey, I'm working on a startup." and someone asks "what startup?", and they reply "here it is." with a link. I've rarely seen those exchanges get downvoted.
I think AR related murders per annum are lower than the number of pneumonia, which is around 1000/year. Pistols are much scarier and commonly used for crimes because they can be concealed.

So this really isn’t as scary as it’s made out to be, numbers-wise.
This article is simple fearmongering. Yes, "ghost guns", or homemade firearms are growing in popularity, and of course LAPD is seizing them: they're illegal in CA. If you know a weed dealer in the US, I promise it's easier to get a gun through them than by printing one.

The reality is that this is here to stay. The FGC-9 is not a joke, it's a powerful weapon that's impossible to effectively regulate. Let that frame the discussion. You can't get rid of this, how do you work with it?
I do not have ADHD diagnosis but I forget such things all the time. This is why I have reminders set up for all trials I ever start the minute I start the trial.

That doesn't mean I like the practice - in fact, I hate it, but too many providers do it anyway.

False. If you can use basic hand tools like a drill and file, it takes about half an hour. 3D printing makes it even simpler.

Peopling the Americas: Not “Out of Japan”
It's almost like America was a demand starved economy with everyone in debt, as if all the money that would normally flow through the exchange of goods and services and generate GDP and a healthy economy were hoarded by an elite few.

I mean, that's still true, it's just that we printed money for a bit. We'll go back to wage slavedom soon.

The fall of Rome was not a fall and it didn't happen in Rome. The event of 476 AD happened in Ravenna (Rome had not been the capital for almost two centuries at that point[1]) and it was a military coup whereby the chief of the army deposed the head of government.

In a very mild development, even by modern standards, the deposed emperor was given a substantial pension and went on to live in luxury in the countryside for a few more decades [2]. The average citizen saw few if any changes in their everyday life. The Senate continued to function for over a century afterwards [3].

Companies won’t hire if they have backlogs in their supply chain and can’t bring in materials/product.
Those jobs will fill up quickly. Low wage workers are still living off those added federal unemployment money. (Unemployment benefits should be at that level. I never understood how people survive off prepandemic unemployment checks.)

The powers at be (Big bloated alcoholic wealthy boy Senators) will start their low wage worker corporate chant about, "The value of a hard days work is blah blah, and how proud Americans will take any job just to feel like a Man."

All those lousy back breaking smelly no future jobs will be filled. Nothing will change. Companies will get away with having people lease transportation in order to work for non-livable existences, while being called hustlers, or Independant Employees.

Homelessness will just get worse. Multiple families living under one roof will be the norm.

Corporate will make their wad though, and act like everything is rosy.

What bothers me is CEO's, like that tool from Dominos, is all for bringing in more low wage workers from other countries, in order to deliver his pizzas. He claims they go from delivery drivers to millionaire. (Jim Cramer interview him, and Cramer said, "The problem is those low wage employees don't go on to own a franchise anymore. The tool bag acted like he didn't hear that tid bit of info, and kept chanting his mythical road to poverty to success stories. Cramer dummied up, and said nothing.

>There's no way the NRA would let this loophole get closed, right?

They might, since people making rifles at home aren't buying rifles from manufacturers. Licensed FFLs don't use this 'loophole', it exists for private unlicensed people to use or abuse. A common criticism of the NRA is that it prioritizes manufacturer interests. For instance, (from what I've seen, correct me if I'm wrong) the NRA doesn't seem to do a very good job at protesting import bans that harm collectors but benefit manufacturers.
Err...WOW! That was fast...

And I've been unaware that Manhattan had so many skyscrapers at the time. Or maybe not. But one can glimpse that for a few seconds in the video. Awesome.
There isn't really a loophole to close. People are ironically already selling "0% lowers" for ARs, which are solid aluminum bricks [1].

Everything is made of something, and guns are made of things you can't realistically regulate.

> Also very much doubt that the traceability of legal guns is that useful.

This is generally true. Many guns used in crimes are stolen, "tracing" the gun usually means getting it back to the original owner.

Also note that seizures are the metric in the article, not acts of violence. Non-serialized guns are a no-no in CA.
Sealand would be of note here. This is basically that exact scenario. Dude buys an old oil platform, calls it a country and issues a bunch of passports. Debates abound over whether they should be accepted or not.

True, once the mods wake up, the posts are always removed. But arguably the damage was already done, and like I said, if this many obvious manipulated posts slip through the cracks, we can make some statistical assumptions about the presence of more evolved predators.

There are all sort of programmers. I personally am sensitive to the creative side of it. Problems tend to have an infinite number of solutions and I feel unsatisfied if I don't get close to the ideal one. I can feel my solution is wrong and I can feel when I get inspired out of nowhere. I have no control on this, the only solution I found for this is to let the problem macerate for a few hours/days if it's possible. I think it's analogous to a painter artist who leaves his frame unfinished for days/months and comes back to it till he feels satisfied. It's the creative part of the job that's uncompressible. Of course you can have programming jobs with no creative part, in which case you can do 10x sometimes 100x depending on who you compare yourself to

I am from Poland. I am 39. I am male. I have never seen a gun other than on a policeman or a soldier.

There are ways to get a gun illegally, even here. But most people do not have easy access to guns. Neither the Police expects you to have one (so they don't pull their gun on slightest pretext) nor people who are stupid can use them by accident.

There are shootings. But these are rare and usually involve only police and bad actors.

But there are no school shootings, there are no people killed by roadside because they look like they tried to pull their gun, there are no people killed by their children by accident, and so on.

The scariest thing I have seen is US Police officer pulling their gun for a regular traffic stop (because the windows were tinted) and then killing the driver (because he looked like he is "reaching" for a gun).

It is sick and it is not right and it is all caused by gun proliferation.

History is either seen as a circle or as a line.

If as a circle, then history repeats itself endlessly. The world is reborn and dies, over and over. It is seen as the lives of generations.

If as a line, then history has only one beginning and will have one ending. The world is born and will die. It is seen as the life of an individual.

The ones that adhere to the line can in turn be divided along those that see the line going up (toward a sunlit city at the top of a hill) and those that see the line going down (towards a hellish valley at the foot of a hill - Megiddo perhaps). Or rather, it's the same line, and the same hill, but they disagree on the direction they are headed.

Of course, any line is just a circle zoomed-in close enough, and any circle draws a line if it rolls on long enough. History is just another form of story, a way of seeing things. What matters is not the story, but who is telling it and why.
Which makes a lot of sense considering this forum is full of people who create and run corporations.
For me the main thing is, I cannot parallelise easily a loop mid-function. I need to make a pool, separate out the loop body into a separate top-level function, and also deal with multiprocessing quirks (like processes dying semi-randomly).

It feels quite heavy and clunky, is my issue.
If your opinion is going against the mainstream and against the heard mentality you will be silenced without someone having to pay a dime for it.

You can care about it and avoid posting things that irks the herd or you can not care about it and voice it anyway.

You can either derive reward by being socially accepted or by promoting your own views and opinions.
To me it's obvious that the increase in homicides et.al. is very likely rather due to the increased psychological issues due to the covid-19 restrictions on people...

Your scanner likely won’t scan money, photoshop may refuse to edit or print images of money (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Bank_Counterfeit_Deter...), your printer may black them out, etc (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EURion_constellation), all to prevent the easy counterfeiting of money.

Problem, of course, is that, for guns, the exact looks aren’t important. That’s true for child pornography and pirated movies, too, though, and those are being worked on.

So, I foresee tech in commercially bought 3D printers that attempts to disallow printing anything remotely looking like a gun or gun part, and people circumventing that by tweaking models, say by adding easily cut of images of flowers and kittens.

No, typing speed is irrelevant related to content quality. Think of poetry - it is all about finding the right word rather than committing them into writing.

He just plainly typing too much - a thick book fallacy. Truth does not require lots of verbiage, on the contrary, it requires a short, clean, precise, adequate "just right" formulation.

A dude I know is working really really hard on piezoelectric ignition. So far he's had great results.
1) For the "how to get started with formal verification outside academia", I'll first get the case of "in/for production" out of the way:

a) "use Z3[0] with some binary/source-language-of-choice/LLVM -lifting to handle relatively simple situations that need to":
i) guarantee some assert (often, but not always index-out-of-bounds checks, like non-trivial Rust slice indexing) statements are unreachable
ii) some bit hacks compute the same thing as the non-hacked implementation

b) "use TLA+[1] to verify concurrent stuff with race conditions":
i) in lock-free data structures that don't come with a proof that the algorithms do the right thing (in those cases, just verify three implementation truly matches the proven algorithm)
ii) in (network, or sufficiently network-like) protocols that aren't 100% exactly transcribed ports of existing proven algorithms or so simple a finite state machine can (and will) be used

2) For doing it more for fun than short-term gains:
a) For getting a handle on pure functional program design, I recommend going through the relevant track of HtdP[2] (Prologue until just before "Arithmetic and Arithmetic" -> I -> II -> III -> Intermezzo 2: Quote, Unquote -> V {-> [if you want to write remotely-performant pure functional code, follow up with:] VI})
b) For learning how to exploit a proof assistant for fun and applied computer science, I'll refer to the guidance provided by Isabelle/HOL.
Please use the IRC(/Matrix ?)[3] if you are confused on how exactly to best approach Isabelle/HOL in your case.

Fractional reserve banking isn't up-to-date with the modern banking system, where in many cases, like in the UK, and in the US as of 2020, there are no reserve requirements. [1]

> But they aren't just adding numbers to a cell in a spreadsheet without having the money to back it

I disagree; this is the reality. Banks don't have to wait for deposits to extend loans. When creating a loan involves novel financial instruments to hide or offload the loan's risk, this has caused massive bubbles, as in the 2008 mortgage crisis.

This credit they extend to customers is "broad money" that, while not being created by the central bank, is effectively the same, as it is the deposit for someone else, which can be withdrawn.

Guns are the porn of manufacturing: cutting edge production and delivery concepts are always validated by the respective industries before the techniques get used by the wider markets. I think Gresham's Law might have a hand in how this plays out, too.

And yes, cops are being melodramatic here. The police rebellion that started somewhere around George Floyd's murder is continuing well beyond complaining about Chesa Boudin and Larry Krasner and Tish James and heck, Bill De Blasio. It won't stop until every police budget is iron-clad by statute and oversight is one again powerless. Nobody gets an opinion on police patterns and practices other than police, lest they pout.
Instead of trying to craft legislation addressing 3d printed guns directly, it might be more effective for governments to target the 3d printing hobby using environmental rhetoric. They could point to and ridicule the number of "Benchy" boats printed over and over again. A hobby that, at least at first glance, seems obsessed with creating useless plastic trinkets, seems vulnerable to social criticism in this age of environmental awareness.
