> The Lincoln Project acknowledged they were behind the stunt after VICE News identified one of the people in the photo as a Democratic operative.

Quote above from the article and below the full statement from The Lincoln Project:

October 29, 2021 — Today, The Lincoln Project released the following statement:

“Glenn Youngkin has said: ‘President Trump represents so much of why I am running.’ Youngkin proves it every day by trying to divide Virginians using racial code words like Critical Race Theory and supporting a ban on teaching the works of America’s only Black Nobel laureate.

“The Lincoln Project has run advertisements highlighting the hate unleashed in Charlottesville as well as Glenn Youngkin’s continued failure to denounce Donald Trump’s ‘very fine people on both sides.’ We will continue to draw this contrast in broadcast videos, on our social media platforms, and at Youngkin rallies.

“Today’s demonstration was our way of reminding Virginians what happened in Charlottesville four years ago, the Republican Party’s embrace of those values, and Glenn Youngkin’s failure to condemn it.

“The Youngkin campaign is enraged by our reminder of Charlottesville for one simple reason: Glenn Youngkin wants Virginians to forget that he is Donald Trump’s candidate.

“We will continue to hold Glenn Youngkin accountable. If he will denounce Trump’s assertion that the Charlottesville rioters possessed ‘very fine’ qualities, we’ll withdraw the tiki torches. Until then, we’ll be back.”

This resonates with me as someone going back to get an MD. I’m early thirties and a new father. Working through undergrad science classes is kicking my ass, so I’m really impressed that this guy’s brain was plastic enough to handle the rigors of theoretical physics. Inspirational on many levels!
It was a great disappointment for someone who spent hours during my teenage years reading and re-reading it.
Not to mention the terrible, terrible acting.
I can usually forgive some tech contradiction details, but its really annoying when there is faster than light travel... But to create contrived suspense because no technology exists to make a flashlight strong enough to illuminate a cave for 10m ??!?!

Oh great, that's exactly what we need for meeting engagement and zoom fatigue: distracting sidebar ads.

Maybe it will encourage people to giddy up and finish just to get away from the ads.
That's the shortsightedness part of it. They should have tried to get them license compliant and may be even negotiated with them to keep it compatible with Mastodon network. It would have not only helped both parties but also introduced Mastodon to more non tech users. Instead, it appears to be the typical knee-jerk reaction for woke points. So now Mastodon is liberal, left leaning and want to control what people discuss? Get in queue folks. We already got twitter and facebook for that!
> I hope you're not taking his 2016 electoral campaign statements regarding what his agenda is at face value...

If not that, then ... what?

Not much got done, certainly not in the spirit of lasting change or advancing conservative agendas.
This list is not super “convincing”: Water, pea protein*, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, rice protein, natural flavors, dried yeast, cocoa butter, methylcellulose, and less than 1% of potato starch, salt, potassium chloride, beet juice color, apple extract, pomegranate concentrate, sunflower lecithin, vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, vitamins and minerals (zinc sulfate, niacinamide [vitamin B3], pyridoxine hydrochloride [vitamin B6], cyanocobalamin [vitamin B12], calcium pantothenate).

Why is there a laxative in my fake meat?

“100% free range grass feed beef” is a lot more convincing.
Every government and school meeting I've had to attend over the last two years is on Zoom. We tried to go with someone else but peer pressure made us get a contract with Zoom for all classes.
They're scraping the barrel now for literature to adapt. The studios desperately want another Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. I feel like Foundation and even Dune are just not fit for being adapted. Foundation is so easy to read that people should really just read it.

It's such a shame that His Dark Materials failed as that would make an excellent adaptation and the source material is far superior to Harry Potter.
Would the latches doctrine really apply to separate enforcement cases though? My understanding is that doctrine would prevent me from enforcing my rights against a particular actor if I wait too long to enforce those rights… but waiting too long against one actor wouldn’t be relevant if I seek to enforce those rights against a separate actor in a separate case.

Funny, I use Windows with WSL and the first thing I do when I set up a new WSL instance is get homebrew (linuxbrew) and install everything else through that if available.

apt/dpkg and any other package manager that scatters files all over the filesystem is just an absolute disaster that--if you do a lot of R&D tinkering--eventually renders a computer unusable after a few years. That's what happened to my first WSL instance; no apt command would work anymore because it had broken its own dependencies.
https://bgolus.medium.com/the-quest-for-very-wide-outlines-b... mentions this trick, and provides an alternative approach if you want uniformly thick outlines in screen space rather than geometry space. Also geometry-based and screen-aside outlines generate different results when an object (like a curved roof) partially occludes itself.
I would hazard to bet that most of those people involved in the insurrection only did so because of the number of violent protests that were met with underreaction in the previous year.

Still, america is a nation of extremes, and if something doesn't go their way they're all very quick to jump to "its a conspiracy against us" conclusion. A union bound together by nothing is doomed to fall apart from the slightest push.

We will create many Distributed Permacomputers which will be long lasting, durable, with the right to repair and a right to free speech without being deplatformed.

Rusulting Code will be public domain and easy to setup.

It was never about the code, it was always about the data.

We reject political deplatforming.

We favor right-to-repair

We refuse single-use plastics

We belive in a platform by the people for the people.

My idea is to smash together Remarkbox, MakePostSell, Bittorrent, and Cloudflares R2 to build a durable network owned by the masses.

It was never about the code or the license, it was always about the data.
I agree with you. However I’m not sure about classing them as losses.

If the price now plateaus indefinitely (obviously this won’t actually happen) then the early adopters made some profits and the more recent investors don’t lose anything. Everyone is free to buy and sell as they wish going forward.

Plus, if the crypto offers some people some benefits, such as avoiding large fees when sending money abroad or avoiding inflation, then it’s possible that the crypto invention is a net positive.
I've been working on 2. since January.

All your photos, chats, e-mails, messages, health data (eventually all your data) into a single database, which can be distributed onto multiple removable 'volumes' (disks).

Plug in the volume and the db index is seamlessly merged and queries run on all the connected volumes. No files. No cloud. Data on your disks only.

There are processing nodes that run in the background indexing the content, finding people and locations in the pictures, chats.

It allows you to build up a fully search-able archive of all your data, which you can physically keep in a locker or safe.

But also, if you store and keep all your data on disks that you control, then many of the services that we use could just run as local apps on your server, reading and writing from your archive via an API.

Social apps are just two people's archives sharing content between each other, no 3rd party services required.

I worked a lot on it until about 1.5 months ago, when I got discouraged by how hard and big this project is. Breaking up with my girlfriend around that time did not help either.

But now I see you mention it and it's kind of inspiring, since I've been doing a lot of thinking and gathering strength for another crack at getting a prototype out.

It would be interesting to see what other people have been thinking/doing in this area.

But since there's at least one person who wants it, I might actually jump back to work ;) Thank you !
Yeah, the Genetic Dynasty stuff is the most compelling so far. I'd happily watch a West Wing-style "how the Empire is run" show with Lee Pace.
If your only problem is you don't like it surprise-updating everything, maybe you should set up an automated patching schedule.
Strongly disagree. You have to remember democratic politics is about turning a massive ship in a new direction. Unless you’re willing to start shooting people democracy moves in increments.

I would say the US drastically changed a few ways: 1) the public’s perception of the media [Trump’s antagonism exposed just how partisan it is across the board], 2) the US strategy with regards to China [Biden seems to be quietly adopting many aspects], 3) a significant adjustment of tax strategy and offshoring of profits [it was a major shift in how offshore profits are treated], 4) healthcare regulations [hospital price transparency and drug pricing had some people shitting bricks and it’s just started].

Now you can argue those moves were bad, but to argue nothing changed is short-sighted.

It’s not that dissimilar to a large corporation. I’ve seen leaders (not even CEOs) push in a certain direction and it’s clear years later it made an impact.
Not the person you're replying to, but I've helped process chickens half a dozen or so times. The smell puts me off eating chicken for a week or so, but overall the answer to your question has a lot of nuance.

Broadly speaking yes.

On the other hand, I definitely eat less meat when I don't how it was raised and slaughtered. I'm no saint: I had a fast food burrito last night while traveling, but I certainly try to eat less meat that comes to me by a long supply chain that hides any sense of accountability for the well-being of the animal from the consumer.

Let's also not forget the human cost of industrially produced meat. If there's one thing the pandemic should have taught us, it's that animal processing is a job people do under fairly challenging conditions, for which many of them are poorly paid, and some of them aren't in a good position to advocate for change because of their immigration status.

And this is the problem with industrial agriculture. All of the good or bad practices that go into bringing food to our plates is abstracted away such that we don't have to think about them or hold ourselves to account for them.

Am I comfortable with how those chickens I help process come to my plate? Absolutely, and without reservations. The sausage from the local farm we patronize? Yup! The pork in that burrito last night? A lot less so, but I was hungry and needed a meal quick. The burger at McDonald's? Nope. That's why I drove by it and hit the burrito place instead.
From the first Amazon book I could find on India "Britain held back political progress in India for as long as possible – a policy which led to unimaginable chaos and suffering when independence was granted, and which created a legacy of hatred and distrust that continues to this day. "

Ever heard the saying "divde and conquer" its an Roman saying(?) but the British used this tactic often during their colonialism. Their oppression in the region goes much deeper, you can read up on it since there are many books.
You could argue that instead of using that land for grazing, it should be allowed to go wild again, helping to improve the nature. It is still usable by other species than humans and cattle.

This would likely change the landscape and make the countryside look different. So there is a question about whether you want to change back to the 'original natural' landscape, or keep the cow managed 'agricultural-natural' landscape.

There is a a similar discussion happening in the UK about re-wilding some moorland, should it be kept in it's current tree-less state, for grouse shooting and not particularly economical sheep grazing, or be reverted to a 'pre-human' state of forest. Only it has been the moorland for hundreds and hundreds of years, and it would actually take some intervention in some places to change to a forest due to the grazing by deer and lack of predators (due to humans killing them all).

Personally I think there is room for both keeping some, and letting/helping some go wild.
It's not like they would've complained if they'd gotten some of their policies advanced, but that was not the point.

The point was that he said things like "kung flu" and it drove the bad people insane. Or "I can't call Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas any more because she's not an Indian."
"SF" is not used to refer to the "greater SF area", which is rather "the bay" or "SF bay area", a reference to the San Francisco bay which all these areas adjoin.

Think of all the cities along a river. What they have in common is the river. They are not all called by the name of just one of the cities. The SF Bay is 4000 km^2 and there are hundreds of cities all along that bay.

The east bay has berkeley, and Oakland, the south bay has Palo Alto and the cities along the Peninsula and then Santa Clara county with San Jose (which has more people than SF). The North bay has Marin. These are all independent regions with their own history, economy, and demographics, and identity. They do not call themselves, nor are they commonly referred to, as "SF", nor does the SF muni service these areas, they have their own separate muni and lightrail. BART (bay area rapid transit) is the regional lightrail throughout the bay. Economically, SF is not even the most dominant of the regions along the bay -- Santa Clara county is much richer and home to more businesses and more people.

Back to your point, just because you are aggregating across a very big region, adding up all the people that live in that region, does not mean you can meaningfully compare that 4000km^2 area with a city and then complain about the differences in urban amenities between an actual city and the large geographic region.

The various cities along the bay are quite small - only San Jose cracks a million -- and none of them are dense. It is almost entirely single family homes with backyards, interspersed with very large parks and nature preserves.
> Which is a valid translation for most mythology's flying chariots.

No, that is not true. Your own sentence use the word "most". In Indian there is a distinction between vehicle("yaan") and chariot("rath").

> We use the translation "chariot" because, at the time, the only vehicles we know of in the relevant culture were chariots.

How do you know? If the ancient text itself makes a distinction between "vaayu yaan" and "rath" then that indicates there were more than one modes of transportation.
They win either way. If mastodon pursues the copyright claim, they get a ton of press and probably more money from donations to fight the “woke Marxists”.

It’s a propaganda platform, not social media.
It's just a matter of what you've been taught to believe is important in life (by culture, religion, parents, peers, etc.). What humans need psychologically is something to keep them occupied and their time structured in some meaningful way, but one doesn't need a job for that - you can practice your hobbies, socializing, taking care of family, or whatever one finds fulfilling. People also need a sense of security and, as you mentioned, peer recognition, but having money fixes both of those quite well. In the end it's all very individual, because the sense of purpose, achievement and self-esteem doesn't deal with some absolute predefined values, but it's relative to your own set of expectations and goals.
Who could have guessed a psychic messiah would be hard to control.
"""That could, for instance, be data showing that women in certain parts of the U.K. are more liable to read Covid misinformation, or that certain teens are “hyper-exposed” to self-harming content. Ofcom would then tell the social media firm to tweak its algorithms to change those statistics, or be punished."""

"Lies, damned lies, and statistics" came to mind. I also strongly suspect that the internal research would get outsourced or otherwise far more difficult to discover.

Tech news sites Bit-tech.net and Hexus.net have shut down
I checked and it appears to suffer from the same problem as MacPorts in only making the ancient version of awscli available: http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/net/py-awscl...

I wasn't able to immediately find any issue tracker for pkgsrc packages, and it seems they're a "mailing list and IRC" type setup, which if true means it definitely isn't for me
I wrote a book of fiction (in French) and I self-published it on Amazon (KDP) after some encouragement from someone here on HN; it's just been selected as one of the five finalists of the Storyteller Amazon contest. Sales are slow, though.

I'm trying to get good at EDM but am making little progress. I have watched many tutorials, studied the masters. I am good with tools, and sometimes I come up with 4- or 8-bar loops that aren't that bad, but the songs as a whole are boring. There is something about building expectations, intensity towards the "drop" that I still don't understand.

About a year ago I built a touch-less MIDI controller based on Arduino and cheap HC-SR04 sensors. It's fun to use but I don't know what to do with it. It could be a cheap alternative to a true Theremin but I think the market is too small to pursue.

I'm working on a webapp to teach sight-reading; the market is probably also small but at least there are no moving parts, prototypes, inventory, shipping, etc. There are other apps that do the same thing but I think my version may have an edge. We'll see.
> You know, the US does do peacekeeping, and does at times invade for actual humanitarian reasons.

yes, I too am very smart and unquestioningly parrot my rulers' propaganda lines.
And....what exactly does this have to do with this situation? If your permacomputer hosts something that breaks the licence of the software used, I'd also hope it would be shut down, whatever it's hosting.
If the government of Kazakhstan gets this kind of tool, why not the US? What is this Kazakhstan anyways, to get powers our elected leaders don't?
According to Zoom, they annually host approximately 3.5 trillion minutes of video at 1.2Mbps. That's about $100 million worth of bandwidth for a company that generates $4 billion in revenue. And a portion of those hosted minutes are actually peer-to-peer and not going through their servers.

> A lot of the Ada limitations pointed out in the paper were fixed in Ada95.

I was going to say that as well. I only more recently hopped on the train, but I didn't see anything which would be problematic for Ada 2012. I've had no problems in my projects doing bit manipulation, using function pointers, dynamic dispatch, or interfacing with C code which uses `void*`.

> this is largely an artifact of Ada syntax being more verbose

There's a very negative connotation of "verbose" like it's the worst thing in the world. The better way of describing this is the language is explicit and focuses on describing intent. This means it doesn't take long to learn to read and understand standard library code or code from other projects.
Your comment is more important than the submission itself so should appear at the top, otherwise people may think it's a good idea to use these.
I don't think there's any reason to assume that a "transnational CEO", whatever that means, is any worse or better at time management than other people.

And if they are, there's no reason to assume that their "strategy" will work for others. A lot of CEOs are workaholics. What works for them won't help a healthy human.
There is a lack of consistency and continuity. We had aeroplane in stories but no similar ground vehicle like Car/train, which should have been invented earlier if technology was present. We had vision across space/time but no knowledge of places outside India.

Academia in the US has become a pyramid scheme where faculty lures bright, young, hard working students into doing their chores for poverty wages. It's not the faculty's fault, either; they're often overworked as well.

I don't know how anyone produces meaningful research in that environment anymore. It's untenable.

This si literally why docker exists. I would never install something on a system and then complain it is being updated from time to time. The system needs to stay safe and follow a path of updates in order to cover vulnerabilities and such. Put it in docker and version lock it.
As someone else said, this is superscalar, though these days companies refer to the number of concurrent out-of-order pipelines as Execution Units (EUs).

SMT is a second set of registers that uses the same execution hardware. If a thread stalls waiting for a main memory read then the other thread can jump in after the pipeline is cleared out (or maybe before if you're clever and careful, but idk if this is done in practice). You can also impose some governance over time sharing so threads with low data memory footprints don't lock out other threads.
Code is meant to be read and, occasionally, executed. Comments are usually ignored by compilers and are targeted towards humans.
