>It seems incredibly unlikely that there wasn't some sort of verbal provocation from Rittenhouse's side.

At that time tempers were already flaring nationwide and I find both the above, as well as it's inverse, plausible. Most likely, both sides were clashing, as is oft the case in situations as volatile as this.

Returning to the NYT's video of Rosenbaum, there's a few things to note. One, that he was potentially mentally ill (relevant?), and two, he was directly antagonizing the "militia", sufficiently so that the other protestors felt it necessary to stop him [1].

In the later part, of the same video (note that there's a cut though), Rosenbaum seemingly suddenly pursues[2] and continues chasing. Only after he gets quite close (in my opinion; 18:04 or so), do we hear the first shots. There could be a hypothetical in between to fill in the gap, but given the available evidence that I'd observed, I gave more credence to Rosenbaum ultimately initiating.

>To be honest, I think things started to go wrong a lot earlier than that though. ...

So, I think that while I'd agree with you that yes, the problem started long before the first shot, I would think that it's better to evaluate it at point of firing. Otherwise we'd be chasing this rabbit hole till the end of time.

The protestors and rioters shouldn't have been there earlier as curfews were in place, and the police should have been enforcing law. The side arguments of open carry vs gun ownership and the inherent lethality increase a gun brings to any conflict, all the way to "gun rights". These arguments however are all applicable to the situation but are far more general, and I feel, a too tempting distraction.

I thus divide these into two different questions (or more, if necessary) so they can be addressed piecemeal. 1: At the time of firing, was Rittenhouse justified. 2: All the other bits and bobs about the context of the situation and who should have been there.

For the first, I've continued to make my case above, while for the second (rest?), this comment is long enough as it is, and I'll leave it open for now if you want to pick that one up.

This one is a bit more dear an issue to me, being a question of speech rights. But it's also one of those which I haven't come to anything solid. However, picturing myself in that situation, I'd be aghast to have a whole pile of media flaming me and having whatever scant opposition to that narrative literally blocked.

EDIT:

Oops, I missed your line on Rittenhouse's belief in his immediate danger. I think we've already come to the same conclusion in a different thread in which the government, and it's dereliction of it's duty to maintain order is probably the one who should be most at fault (correct me if I've misplaced your position).

If you win, yes. But perhaps you can find two moves that both draw against best play (overwhelmingly likely in most chess positions you will prepare, though even computers aren't good enough to tell you this for certain). The important thing then is to pick the one that wins against less good play, or perhaps that you won't lose when you inevitably show some less good play.
Which is almost certainly the real point
There is a perverse charm to the worst of the worst instructions too. The diagram shows the item, but then clearly the parts list and the instructions are from (at least) two different things completely. "It's a couch! there are no wheels"

We should appreciate the incredible joy given to the world by such phrases as "Make sure the knob is well before screwing. Do not unclockwise the tread backwards."

One of my favorites is the mystery part. It's clearly the same finish and stamping line as the rest of the thing, but it doesn't seem to have a functional use anywhere in the product. it's not a spare... is it an optional bracket for a different thing? did it fall out of the inside of something? is it just included in my particular package accidentally?

Of course occasionally you get really lucky and its an Interociter.
The issue with what's a 'computer' we could say is a general computing device.

General computing devices enable you to install software freely and use it however you'd deem fit. Desktop computers are general computers. So are laptops. And for the vast majority of people, an iPhone or Android device are general computing devices. However, the Android device allows the user to actually do 'general' things like write code and develop software on itself. While the 'i' device doesn't.

The issue is that the 'i' device is often sold as a 'general computing' device like all other smartphones and computers.

The issue with the 'Tesla' computer is that it isn't a general computer. The purpose of the device is solely to control and manage the vehicle.

Has anyone found out how the mycelium is treated after harvesting it? Does it need to be 'killed' before being used? Is the leather like texture embossed onto it or are there mycelia that develop similar structures all by themselves?

There do not seem to be any obvious drawbacks. Could it actually be that we discovered a new type of material for building things or clothing that had been overlooked so far?
Indeed I would walk that wording back a bit, it was a riff on an oft-quoted famous quip about military officers:

“I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent — their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy — they make up 90% of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent — he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief."

This "clever and lazy" group is distinct from the low cunning of the archetype I was referencing, but I stepped out of the boundaries of being charitable. Your criticism is legit, and I prefer to be held to that higher standard of kindness. Cheers.
Most rules have exceptions and edge cases.
For the US market, have you considered accessibility yet? It’s one of the struggles that one has to deal with in a website builder market. As of now, the structure of the website being produced has both SEO (creating search engine and related revenue concerns) and accessibility issues. The later are severe enough to end up in an accessibility lawsuit in the US, if one is running a business worth any non-trivial amount of money (i.e. you wouldn’t want it shutdown upon lawsuit).

really isn't true. While Apple was one of the companies (see also Commodore, Tandy, ...) that first popularized home computers, it was really the IBM PC followed by its clones like Compaq that replaced terminals in offices.

Agree with you on everything, except frozen foods. I am in my mid 30s. I like to cook and try to eat healthy. I have read at many places on the internet that frozen vegetables in some occasions are healthier than the ones I can at the supermarket- because they are flash frozen, retaining most nutritional value vegetables stay out in shipping and shelves far too long losing nutritional value. Also that they tend to be picked before their time to accommodate for shipping and shelving while frozen vegetables are picked ripe for freezing.

Frozen processed foods like pizzas, ready to eat foods loaded with preservatives are bad as one can imagine.

It was counterintuitive to me that frozen veggies can be better than fresh looking ones from supermarket. Same goes with tomatoes from supermarket shelves versus tomatoes in a tin - apparently the tin ones have better nutrients because they were more ripe when they went into the tin, while supermarket tomatoes were picked well before they were ripe.
Fyi, PulseEffects is now called EasyEffects.
> ContentID seems more like a problem related to issues of capitalism, where a corporation will make decisions to maximum profits at the expense of any human or social impacts.

Capitalism is the thing where there is supposed to be vigorous free market competition and ContentID would have no power. Because even if 70% of the services were getting it wrong, anyone could switch to any of the other 30% with minimal friction, and then the original 70% would fix their shit or lose market share.

Capitalism isn't a synonym for anarchy. It needs, for example, government enforcement of property rights. But it also needs antitrust. Constraints on vertical integration.

The lack of effective antitrust enforcement has allowed markets to concentrate. Which removes competitive pressure, which allows incumbents to make rules that benefit them and their business partners at the expense of customers who now have high switching costs. Enabling the "Utopia of Rules."
Curious how this would impact motorsports. My friends and I like to take our "daily drivers" to track days. The advantage being we can drive home with the AC and music playing.

I don't see any specialty pieces in there that I would be unable to use in another build. The problem is that the ratio of specialty pieces to generic pieces is too high; you would need a lot of generic rectangular bricks to build anything substantially different from what's in the picture.

I wonder how much the ratio of specialty to generic pieces differs between the lego junior sets like the one you linked vs sets intended for older children.

Ask HN: Crypto for Childcare?
What about crypto for childcare? Carecoin? Could this work?

I’m wondering if hypothetically, we could build a successful coin revolving care? I know a ton about childcare and education, but not so much about cryptocurrency, so I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

Basically, the way I’m thinking would work is you could mine coin by taking care of kids or the elderly, or really anyone who needed care and then you could potentially even earn coin by taking care of your own kids, since that definitely helps the economy etc. And then obviously you pay for childcare, elder care, etc with the care coin.

Would this even work? I know a lot of education and childcare but not a ton about crypto.

Famous example of using a coin, scrip for swapping childcare, way before bitcoin, etc. was the Capitol Hill Babysitting Co-op

Said one member (according to wikipedia):
“The currency issued by the co-op, called scrip was in extremely high demand, at least at some points, with a former member being quoted as saying "Oh my God, you would kill for scrip. ... You would sell your children for scrip."

They had some problems and was a famous for going bust because of a liquidity trap. But doesn’t mean this can’t be done.

Good! Now we need a steady 5% surplus, then the surplus steadily transformed into electricity.
I mostly wanted to repeat slimsag's reply, that these days a game's visuals are largely dominated by the talent and time of the art team, not so much the underlying engine.

The recently released Sonic Colors remake should be mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-RnhgZCqn4 (and on the latest Xbox, runs at 4k@60hz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsMAIXVavI4) Apart from maybe using too much bloom, the visuals are great. Using a different engine wouldn't magically make them better, let alone far superior. At best different engines might give different tradeoffs to allow more efficient use of artist time (e.g. less rework like lowering poly counts due to better performance/pipeline, or having certain assets or effect shaders pre-built, or being able to have "more" per frame, etc.).

I brought it up because surprisingly they used Godot 3 for the graphics backend. Well, they seem to have modified it to some extent and have the original game's code in there, but apparently not to such a degree that vanilla Godot couldn't open up scenes. Even though the lead Godot dev doesn't even think v3 is really appropriate for such a game due to its limitations (the "just around the corner" v4 should be more suitable, though), and they've had some backlash with bugs or poor performance (especially on the Switch version) that have necessitated patches, I still think it counts. I remember being excited for v3 in the past, because it brought Godot up to par with physically based rendering like everyone else. It can still fall behind other engines in a lot of other ways (stability, performance, ease of platform porting, pre-built things...) though a lot of indies seem to find it winning in some ways too (like ease of development).

I do agree with you though that the Amazon taint shouldn't really be enough to sink Open 3D. Still, I think it's going to take a few years for it to find its place in the current ecosystem. Though it's a very real possibility that place might be irrelevance.
Funny -- going on a decade ago, Blender had OpenCL support, but the AMD drivers were so bad that OpenCL support was only usable on NVidia cards. Still not as good as CUDA, though. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
It's kind of creepy how you're implying that the fact the CCP created a massive and intrusive system for controlling what information has access to is a reaction to Western propaganda, and not, like, a textbook power grab that we've seen from every other totalitarian regime in the 20th century.
>> For the purpose of this discussion "the goal" is clearly defined, but I'm afraid you missed it.

Like how you apparently missed the other two bullets the article listed?

Fair that your original comment was about speed, but, you're also dismissing the discussion after that (i.e., you had to notice various nuances to the problem that slowed you down, and that this optimization was something directly noticeable just in the example given in the problem discussion), as well as the comment (i.e., mine) that started this thread, that was about the quality of code being pulled from Github and informing Copilot, and NOT about the speed of coming up with a solution on your own under time pressure, which is unaffected in this instance when using Copilot.

In short, you're saying "It's about speed; everything else doesn't matter", and I'm saying "It neither was about speed in my original post, nor is that the only possible goal". You're insisting the place you moved the goalposts is the only place they've ever existed.

the problem with these calculations is that they're based on pedigree, not genetics. If you're only studying 3-5 generations of pedigree, the COI might look REALLY good, but the animal can still be a genetic mess because those 3-5 generations all had a common (or multiple common) ancestors in generations 6-7.

its very similar in goals to postgraphile

as samwillis mentioned, the memory footprint is tiny, which is a big perk for supabase's platform (or if you're self hosting) but its also fully language agnostic which opens up lots of options for extensibility:

For simple use-cases you can expose the graphql functionality over http using a PostgREST as described here https://supabase.github.io/pg_graphql/quickstart/

but, if you want more configuration like adding in middleware or wiring it up to an existing backend application, you can do that from any programming language that can connect to postgres, rather than only javascript

Is it weird that I don't like his stairs? Also, I don't know many people that build wooden stairs with brackets. Usually, you get two pieces of suitably long and wide lumber, clamp them together, and cut them together. So it looks something like this (https://www.lowes.com/pd/Severe-Weather-4-Step-Pressure-Trea...). This solves most of his problems.

Basically, I get his point, but I think he chose a really poor example to illustrate it. All I'm hearing from this guy is: "I've never actually had to build stairs."
Very well said. This is basically what I picture when I think of "mature organizations". You strive to never touch things in production except to restart them or deploy a different version. When you find yourself wishing you had some debug utility, that's certainly a sign that you need better observability. Rolling out a new release with your improved instrumentation isn't a good fit for an urgent problem, but these cases become increasingly rare over time as your observability improves and moreover you can always deploy a "debug" version of your application with various debug utilities compiled in).
