> He ran after Rittenhouse to attack him instead of fleeing.

And yet when Rittenhouse turns and shoots Rosenbaum instead of continuing to flee, that's self-defence?

> We are not debating Rittenhouse self-defense [...] You are derailing the conversation and I do not want to repeat myself or extend my time on this.

No, we were debating Facebook's response. I said that I thought it was reasonable for Facebook to act with an abundance of caution around the killing of two unarmed men.

Someone objected to me calling him 'unarmed'. My contention is that although a skateboard can be used as a weapon, that wasn't how Huber used his skateboard.

I'm not sure what I'm 'derailing', or what you think 'the conversation' is, but you're welcome to stop commenting if you don't want to debate further.

Using it mainly because of the paranoia of just exposing RDP to the internet. Http(s) is very convenient to add more layers of security, in my case via NGINX (both as LXC containers in Proxmox). I'm using a wildcard domain *.myhome.tld pointed to my static IP. Guacamole is hosted at try_guess_me.myhome.tld, with NGINX basic auth same for all subdomains (further protected by fail2ban). So in total 3 tokens are required (subdomain and basic auth username and password) just to get to the Guacamole login page, where additional username/password + 2FA are required. I used to expose RDP directly for years, but after a chat with a colleague before vacations and a purchase of a NUC for a homelab server decided to strengthen the security slightly.

RDP is still much better user experience, so once when I needed a longer session I used Guacamole to access my router admin interface and temporarily expose RDP directly via a random port and a very strong password. I'm still not convinced that the latter combination is not enough, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

If you're ready to wear mask all the time for the rest of your life, would you agree that we need to start wearing hard hats all the time? That will definitely save some lives. Same for motorcycle helmets for bicycles - why not? Hazmat suits for shopping - why not? They must be much more efficient than just masks. Why wouldn't we ban motorcycles and mountain bikes? They are not "useful" and take lives every year. Safety is number one priority out of one, right?

> there are more real estate agents than there are houses for sale

I'm not surprised. I'm sure there is a long tail of realtors with licenses but who aren't very active.

I know who the get-up-and-go agents are in my area. There's no way to not know, as they make sure you know :-)

Becoming a realtor is not a good choice for someone lacking get-up-and-go, or someone who needs to be managed.

I talked to one a year ago, wondering how on earth he thought he could get $3m for the house he was showing. He said the other realtors all thought he was crazy.

He got it, and the 6% commission. Ka-ching!
The real site is https://1fichier.com , works for me and always has, check any blocking things you have? People use them for somewhat sketchy things, but they’re a legit if somewhat eccentric French company that’s been around for years (and is specifically supported by rclone: https://rclone.org/fichier/). Sure, don’t put your critical data there without a backup, but at the price, it’s a nice option to have.

There’s a .info that shows up in search results that I think is an otherwise unaffiliated reseller that they haven’t bothered to go after.
> The taxes said it wasn't even worth the amount these people bought it for.

In some areas, tax assessment values are supposed to be the market value and in some areas the tax assessment has no clear connection to market value. Looking at tax assessments to say someone paid too much doesn't make much sense.

The market is a market, and that a seller and a buyer got together on a price is prima facia evidence of the market price. Assuming it was a arms length transaction. Especially if there were several similar bids, that's strong evidence of the market value. For a purchase mortgage, an apprasial is kind of confirming the price is somewhat reasonable, and should only come in low in case the buyer, the buyer's agent, and the inspector (if any) missed something big.

For a refinance or similar, there's no direct evidence of the market value, so an apprasial needs to more closely gauge condition of the house in question as well as that of comps and it's more subjective.
US govt is far too incompetent to reign them in. We would need to fix that first. Essentially, tax big tech to fund regulating them and improving the tech literacy of our laws. I think this list would be helpful in order to get there:

- Term/age limits for congress

- Eliminate first-past-the-post voting

- Some kind of voter weighting system. Normalize a zoomer's vote weight to match a boomer's based on voter turnout demographics.

- In the same vein as the previous point, maybe account for the duration of a law's effects. If a law is going to destroy the planet 50 years from now, why should a 90 year old have equal say as a 20 year old?

In rare cases I pull out a real debugger, but most of the time the right prints in the right places are just as good. I can also iterate much faster because I'm not jumping between the code the the debugger, or pulling the debugger out of the loop it's stuck in.

Can you tell me why MPC + K-Lite is better?

I've been gone from the Internet for 8 years. Before I left I used VLC for everything. When I just got a laptop I was convinced to install PotPlayer as "being better". Having been gone for such a long time I assumed there was a tectonic shift in the media player space. Perhaps I was wrong?
I see this as a defense in depth. It can buy you time until attacker figures out how to exfiltrate and you maybe notice via monitoring that something fishy is happening. It also prevents you participating in a DoS or other attacks.
this is the second one of these that hit HN this week? other was a post deleted from reddit. seems like possible explanations here are:

- standard 'loveint' at support depts (many companies with personal data have stories about abusing system access to look at personal info of SO / randos)

- illicit group operating within or adjacent to goog doing some kind of espionage or ransom model

- google-haters inventing or amplifying a pattern of behavior? (but with what motivation)

- not obvious if the phones are passwordless, or if insiders are using a 'universal unlock' feature to decrypt pixel devices -- if the latter, is that a bigger story than the stalking?

if this is only happening to passwordless phones, still an abuse of trust, but I'm okay with 'don't send passwordless phone to support' as a consumer best practice.
It looks like this is the closest thing, thank you.

I personally subscribe in part to Professor Bruce Ames Triage Theory
http://www.bruceames.org/Triage.pdf
TLDR, is when a limited amount of nutrition in ingested, the body triages the allocation of nutrition. Now some of this will be caused simply by chemical chain reactions that have developed due to evolution but there is also some element of control by the body simply because the body can control things like blood flow, so when exercising, less blood goes to the gut and in extreme, you will see some athletes experience diarrhoea when exercising.

A cancer study I read by a Swiss Uni used radioactive B12 for thyroid cancer because the thyroid takes up B12. Its radioactive so it can show up on the scanners and they found the B12 was distributed throughout the body, it did not exclusively go to the thyroid. So yes Professor Ames is correct with his theory but it is not applied to every part of the body, otherwise how do you explain the Sodium Potassium pump in cells which dumps nutrition out of the cells with too much sodium? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na+/K+-ATPase

There is a saying, "you are what you eat" which is largely true, and whilst legislation in some countrys prevent some supplements from being sold due to the fact they have a pharmacological effect on the body, there are also external factors at play as well, like the domestication of our food, pollution and modern day living in general.

Anyway you could argue we already have that Elysium two tier society right now, but I think its possible for most westerners to afford what's necessary to increase their lifespan substantially. Developing countries are a different thing. However your point about death by natural causes being treated with grace is important. Its quite likely many old people will be dying with a lifespan in their 70-100yr range, but people in their 40's or less could well if the right interventions were made, live to be 150+. That's because of things like the internet improving communication, silicon chip, improved manufacturing processes and the ability to use search engines to read the latest studies from any part of the world that have been published just last month! It seems like something out of science fiction, but increasing lifespans is just one of those things that could be happening right now.

It also increases other problems though, namely if everyone were to live a US lifestyle we need 4 planet earths, 2.5 planets for a UK lifestyle and 2 for a European lifestyle, so people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and others trying to get into space more efficiently and explore is like the olde worlde sailing ships setting off to explore the unknown.

Whats sad is knowing your parents wont enjoy the rude health the younger generations could be enjoying and many will have struggled to bring you up even though their conditions were even better than those before them, but that is probably best summed up as human progress.

int is signed and signed int overflow is UB. If you use an int as a loop counter, the compiler can optimize the loop assuming the loop counter will never overflow because, surely, a programmer would never invoke UB. :) If the loop counter does overflow, then who knows what bad things will happen. For example, a simple loop like “for (int i = 0; i >= 0; i++) { … }” might become an infinite loop, crash, execute random code, or never execute in the first place.

Epic Games Login and Rocket League Are Down
> and most notably the opening lecture from Charles Brenner had a great take-down on all of the reasons why longevity genes are unlikely to exist (TL/DR – genes only propagate if selected for, and there’s no selective pressure for longevity after reproductive age).

I mean, we don’t just drop dead the minute we pass reproductive age. One would expect there to be genes that affect aging (including past reproductive age), either due to different environments creating different selective pressures or just genetic drift or genes with an adaptive function for reproductive life having a side effect for post-reproductive life.

Consider particularly that women have a shorter reproductive window than men, but live longer on average.
Some people decided to differentiate someone that “happens to be black” from someone “that is Black”. The idea is that being Black is political and why a conservative person that happens to have black skin is not Black. This type of codes language also helps people determine if you’re an “ally” or outsider.

In essence things like race have been vertically integrated into every facet of culture outside of traditional politics possible. From elementary school to media companies to corporate diversity statements to Hollywood movies - an efficient (and remarkable really) propaganda machine. It is integrated into institutions which gives the most radical and militant a safe place to retreat to for cover.
A short note about the content - the step of creating an out-of-bounds pointer is UB, and the step of dereferencing the pointer is also UB:

int *x = j + 32/4;

*x = 40;

Thus, you can argue that if UB were to be banned, it would be better to crash at the point of creating the out-of-bounds pointer, instead of accommodating the out-of-bounds write by always reloading every read from memory in case of aliasing.

In chess ACPL roughly works like goals scored (conceded) in football. Goals are made when the defending team makes mistakes. A team that is a master of defense will concede few goals. But will also score few goals since defending well requires playing cautiously. Its the same with attacking, aggressive teams. They both score and concede more goals than the average.

Total Revenue is $4T, Total Spending is $6T, and

> Social Security will be the biggest expense, budgeted at $1.196 trillion. It's followed by Medicare at $766 billion and Medicaid at $571 billion.

That is $1.35T spent on healthcare just for old people (over 65) and poor people. And it is not even the whole amount, since most 65+ people still have to buy insurance. Even if you cut out the 5% profit margins of managed care organizations, or even 15% assuming their function is wholly unnecessary, it still seems unlikely universal health can be offered without increasing tax revenues.

In 2019, total healthcare spend for all of US was $3.9T.

Using currently proposed models, this might be true. The facilities and reaction apparatus don't scale well, so power generation plants would have to be massive, and using tempermental, super high precision, enormously complex equipment means huge infrastructure, operation, and maintenance costs.

As materials, theory, and science in general improve, designs will get better, and someone will crack the puzzle of scaling, but that's 10 to 30 years out, as always.

A funny story (among many other) related to the traffic cone chosen as the VLC icon.

Before we get too over-excited and carried away, a market crash is needed first, along side with proper regulations for crypto to be taken seriously. Then these predictions make just a tiny bit of sense.

The bottom line for this is, as long as one cannot pay for their groceries using (some, but not all) cryptocurrencies due to volatile prices, slow and very high transaction fees along side complicated multi-layer switches and contraptions to do expensive swaps, then these predictions are not 'impossible' but more like very unrealistic and highly unlikely.

I would expect these predictions to take more years rather than next year.
