> There is a reason more civilized countries have decided that the state should have the monopoly on violence

There are only two kinds of individuals that argue someone shouldn't have the right to self defense or the right to keep and bear arms: A) someone naive to history and the purpose of that rifle on the labourer's cottage wall or B) someone attempting to argue in bad faith as they wish to disarm them to do evil to.

It's clear here based on your shown bias, wanting to paint certain political opponents as "violent", but then ignore the other side of the spectrum that caused this situation to develop, that was literally burning the town down, we can determine that you fall into group B here. Some of us watched our family trees get erased because individuals like yourself feel that only the authoritarians should have access to firearms throughout history, and some of us are not OK with that behavior.

Not happening, but you can try to come and take it.
Considering Kyle killed people, at a very contentious and politically sensitive time, its understandable that the story was banned.

I've heard some very bad hot takes that basically amount to "he should have killed those people". Advocating for killing people is way less controversial than whatever "nuance" people want to assign to the case regarding legal standing of guns and various self defense laws.

Its not crazy to imagine someone thinking to just ban that whole discourse from a platform, even if takes some "genuine" and not-murderous conversations with it - simply to avoid people advocating death.
There was a clear trajectory toward increasing such aggressive raids. Quarter-century-old details escape me at the moment, but many were quite aware of such things ramping up. The Ruby Ridge incident was comparably violent but on a smaller scale, a high-profile violent raid occurring a year earlier.

While there were no known punishments for agents/managers of the Branch Davidian incident, there was clearly a massive change in attitude toward using such tactics, lasting decades. The Elian Gonzales incident seemed a hesitating/reluctant resumption 15 years after, again avoided thereafter. The Bundy Ranch incident seemed ready to go there again, but was largely dissuaded by armed citizens. Of late, perceived rhetoric pointing toward resuming aggressive raids is increasing, but held back back per plurality of sentiment willing to fight back.

Note that I'm referring to incidents perpetrated by federal agents. Local police, as the lead article depicts, are ramping up aggressive raids faster - with some, as noted, learning by law or lead that doing so is a bad idea.
Mr. Sharp is apparently not so sharp. He carried out the attack from his home network. He connected directly for enough time that his bare IP was logged. The rest of the time, he carried out the attack using a commercially purchased VPN solution that was trivial to trace back to him via the purchase record. He lied to the FBI. (I have yet to understand why people talk to law enforcement instead of staying silent so as to not implicate themselves.) And, for no apparently good reason (meaning, there's no claim of him shorting the stock), after the raid, he seeded fake news that drove the company's stock down 20%.
Hmm. I'm not so sure about the bowling ball. It seems almost straightforward to scale this up as far as you want. You wouldn't be able to use wood, and the hard part would be to find a winch that won't snap, but it seems like one must exist.
Tangential: there's a James Margolin listed as one of the contacts, and he looks vaguely like he could be a parent or uncle of one Grant Margolin, and they're both roughly local to NYC-ish based on James' LinkedIn. I wonder if there's any relation.

Grant Margolin being one of the co-conspirators behind Fyre fest, along with Billy McFarland. I had the dubious privilege of interacting with the two in DC alongside Ja Rule as part of a Magnises event.
I remember a professor with a book he was going to publish in the 1950s and the dock worker who was doing immigration saw it and said “Nobody is gonna read that”. He thought it was very funny that all Americans have an opinion on everything. People also did read it.
It’s unsurprising it was found to be self-defense.

But he’s still a dipshit for LARPing GI Joe.

Would other people have pointed guns at him if he stayed home?

Not violated laws transporting weapons across state lines without an immediate threat to his life?

Escalating a situation like he did should have seen him shot like an animal by police.

Would have happened too if he was brown or mentally ill.

America is a moral relativist wasteland.
I could never understand why people watch soccer or any other sport. My father, kids and wife really enjoy watching soccer games and scream to the TV. Then I forced myself to watch a few games and while I was not specially bored it didn't produce any interest on me. Instead I have played an average of 18 hours daily of FPS/RPG/RTS 2D/3D since young, way less now that I'm older and boring.

I can clearly see a future in which users can sign over all current and future retirement funds and financial assets, and in exchange be plugged full-time into a “facebook disneyland” to live out the rest of their years in digitally augmented bliss as an avatar alongside friends and family.
Thanks for the recommendation! Now that you mention it, I’ve seen similar behavior on Dateline. Wonder if there are other terms for essentially “digging the hole deeper.”
Well the laws are different here. The jury decided what they thought given the laws of the state, not what they wanted to rule. That's the way jury trials work. It's not a morality trial, it's a "did he break the law" trial
This is just business in general though. It's why I am buying toilet paper and IP addresses from the same company. No company is happy just existing and solving one specific problem, they always feel the pressure to expand and grow as much as possible (from shareholders) even if it really doesn't make any sense.

I've been working on a website (and maybe app in the future) to keep track of routes that I've completed at the Rock Climbing gym. I currently have it set up with a list of all the boulders at my gym, and I keep track of which routes I have finished, with a difficulty and fun score, and a description that I sometimes use.

It has some graphs and stuff, mainly to show me how my sessions are going, and if I've been improving over time. Recently I started climbing at a difficulty higher than I previously had, so maybe it is helping? Who knows!

Three of those dependencies are not entirely unreasonable: one is the actual "core" CSV implementation (with one recursive dependency), one is the dependency for the standard "this interface allows you to serialize/deserialize arbitrary data to arbitrary formats", and one crate that adds traits to make &[u8]/Vec<u8> work much more like &str/String (which has 4 recursive dependencies, although two of those are already mentioned). The last two dependencies are crates that provide accelerated routines for serializing integers and floating points, which are IMHO somewhat excessive, but if it's easy to pull in such dependencies, why not? It would be helpful in places where CSV serialization might actually be a bottleneck.

There are two key differences between large projects in ecosystems that have working package managers and those in C/C++. For starters, the basic working 'package' tends to be smaller. Consider something like LLVM (just LLVM itself, none of its subprojects like Clang). This you'd count as "one project" without any dependencies (at least, no required dependencies that aren't vendored, liked zlib and googletest). But if you were to make it in something like Rust, it would likely consist of a dozen or more packages: the core IR, analysis passes, command-line tools, transformations, codegen (with each target likely being its own package!). With such fragmentation, you'd have dozens of dependencies that are essentially nothing more than the 'project' itself.

But more importantly is that, because dependencies are hard to add, code duplication is the norm; it's only when what you want to do is too impossible to duplicate that you resort to a dependency. For any large C++ project, I can virtually guarantee that there will exist some form of 'standard library++' dependency in the code that will contain at least an intrusive linked list, better hashtable implementation, std::vector-lookalike that avoids heap allocation for small lists, replacement for iostream, helpers for process creation, custom string formatting routines, and something to make dealing with segfaults sane. In a package ecosystem, each of those kinds of things would be a separate dependency. Is it really necessary for everybody who wants to write something dealing with graphs to have write their own graph-based data structure, as opposed to just using the ecosystem-standard graph library (e.g., networkx in Python, or petgraph in Rust)? Or to have everybody that wants to use a hashtable to have to write their own implementation of a notoriously tricky data structure?
You omit the qualifications for that exemption, which speak heavily toward good faith and minimal impact, which FB/T/etc are going way beyond and will likely have to defend in court with difficulty.
Yes or if they'd open up the network to third party clients. Then I'd support them.

I prefer matrix but it doesn't feel as ready for prime time. I doubt the masses will ever adopt it. Whereas signal is really just like WhatsApp.

But I want to use whatever client I want. Sometimes I'm in a shell session on FreeBSD, sometimes on a computer. One of many. Rarely on my phone. Signal is too mobile-first for me. Third party clients could fill that gap.

What I'd love to see is for them to operate it as an open network, not a closed network with an open source app. I wouldn't mind at all if it cost money. I rather pay cash than with my data.
If the trade is getting proper memory safety for the 99.99% of code which never has to be built directly on a mainframe without internet access in exchange for the code that does have to be built on mainframes without internet access a bit harder, I think I'm fine with that.

I think the argument would be (and I'm not sure how they could prove such a thing) that they were not omitting facts, but actively suppressing facts and allowing the spread of (what ended up to be) misinformation. I'm not a lawyer, of course, and playing Monday morning QB of sorts.

EDIT: Though, I think this only applies to news sources, which they've been ruled to be not as. Though that ruling may be overturned if they actively suppress certain information.

The article states that they have the manufacturing part solved:

These filings mean Novavax thinks it has licked its manufacturing problems, because getting an authorization requires convincing regulators you can reliably produce the vaccine.

Taylor expects the company will seek emergency use authorization in this country early next year. She says to boost manufacturing capacity, Novavax has teamed up with several vaccine manufacturers, including the Serum Institute of India, the world's largest maker of vaccines.

"So we have a tremendous amount of confidence that with everything we have learned over the past year, as well as the expertise of all of our partners, that we'll be in a great position to produce over 2 billion doses in 2022," she says.
sorry if this sounds dismissive, but I'm curious - how is this different than using google hangouts or facetime or zoom and doing screen sharing?
> has to be quite robust

Absent frequent disruptions, markets do not optimize for robustness; they optimize for efficiency and profit. So no, I don't agree that these supply chains are robust. It's like arguing "life on Earth evolved to be dependent on oxygen, therefore oxygen must be everywhere in the universe" (not remotely true); classic overfitting.
The one thing that keeps reddit going for me is their detente policy with third-party clients and browser add-ons. I can use RES + old reddit redirect on my desktop browsers and Narwhal on my phone, and I can completely avoid ads and scummy behavior that's seeping into the site in general. Unlike, say, Facebook, who literally spent thousands and thousands of (wo)man hours figuring out how to beat ad blockers in the News Feed.

Someone at Reddit is still looking out for power users, giving us ways to beat the system and still use the site. And it's remained the only (non-HN) social media I can stand for years as a result. Whoever you are, thank you!

The grants round that opened today can be seen here: https://gitcoin.co/grants/#match-pools

It includes grants for climate change and grants for longevity.

To answer your question, the difference from kickstarter is that grants for public goods don't produce products - they produce public goods.

It is possible to have many cynical takes, but if you scratch the surface, you'll see that funding public goods really is what this is all about.

The policy that the facts must be omitted might be an act of defamation, or, because it was published, libel.
My point was: This is not really censorship.

They appear to censor, appease their advertisers, but actually they are amplifying. That is in their (Facebook) economic interest.

If you decentralize you will end up with a media for each particular group, and you will have less engagement as you are only discussing with people you agree with.

Sounds like a feature of the porting process. Not a bug. And I’d like to think that BoringSSL would be designed well enough internally to make that less of an issue.

I agree that this might slow down the process of porting the code though. I wonder how much by?

> UBI will do this.

I get where you're coming from but UBI is not the same as funding individuals for the simple reason that funded individuals arrive at an amount greater than UBI funding -- economic firepower that's duly needed when competing for resources whose supply is far outstripped by demand (e.g. GPUs for academic compute competes with crypto miners).

So do I. I just don't think the portion outside of the disengaged part of the commute would stay the same. Same as every other time car commutes to cities were made easier so more cars came in slowing them back down to the point it's too inconvenient. "If anything this would probably increase car traffic delays as cities would become even more inundated with cars once you got off the highway."

Even tripling car capacity wouldn't oversaturate induced demand which is why I say I'd take high speed rail which can actually oversaturate induced demand due to its speed and density. Or full self driving where there is no portion where you can waste time due to increased congestion.

He didn't. He drove out of state to a new neighborhood... with a gun. Thats asking for trouble.
I'm always wary they'll use one of these "improvements" (some people may find this useful, I just see it as useless fluff) as justification for killing old.reddit.com. But perhaps that will be the kick I need to finally give up reddit for good.
> This is not how you run a civilized society. The problem is not so much the trial as it is the events leading up to it and the fact that kids walk around with powerful weapons.

You may be right, and personally I agree with you that bringing a rifle to a partially violent protest should be illegal, and that Rittenhouse is no hero or role model, but nothing you said has anything to do with whether this was murder or self-defense. Even if his possession of the gun had been 100% illegal, that would be a different charge.

It feels like you're conflating several questions: (1) whether Rittenhouse is a good or bad person; (2) whether it should be legal for people to walk around at night with a giant rifle; (3) whether what happened in this particular instance was murder or self-defense. All three of these are actually completely unrelated questions.
Guess he should have bought a VPN with cash or stole someone else’s if Mr. Sharp wanted to be more sharp about it.
> Literally the only people affected by "gun bans" are the law-abiding. Any criminal gets armed with cheap black-market weapons.

Norway has pretty strict gun laws, requiring active shooting club membership and documented activity for being allowed to own non-hunting weapons and strict limits on number of firearms based on competition activity level.

Yet I read recently one can get a decent black market 9mm pistol for half what the cheaper models go for in the gun stores...

There's also been a record number of shootings here in the capital this year. Hope it's just a coincidence...
Would you give 10% of your salary to charity?
Ok. Good luck enforcing that.
> A century ago, buildings were quite dangerous, and likely to kill you in all sorts of situations. Wood burns, and concrete and brick don't. Clearly wood is an "unsafe material". But just changing the material didn't result in safer buildings. Buildings made of brick and concrete still killed people.

This will seem trite, but I think it's just literally easier to figure out how to build wooden buildings that are fire resistant than it is to write memory safe code in C/C++.

> The problem is not so much the trial as it is the events leading up to it and the fact that kids walk around with powerful weapons.

Do you also feel that way about the armed vigilantes on the other side of the incident? Was it ok that Gage Groskreutz was menacing people with his gun, and was never charged with a crime, and never even had his gun confiscated?

There were many armed civilians that night with guns, why are you only concerned about Rittenhouse? Is armed vigilantism if a militia says that it is "anti fascist"
