Defense money is budgeted year over year. You could give this stimulus payments to people for two maybe three months and would have spent the defense budget for a year, so now where is the money going to come from?
What're the numbers on this? How many interviews? How many conversations? How many applications? How many cold calls?
Overall, the US seems to be doing about as well as continental Europe in ways that actually matter, like deaths. What the NYT did was cherry-picking figures - for example, for a while last winter they kept comparing Spanish cases to Florida cases to downplay the Spanish wave as less bad, even though the trajectory of the Spanish outbreak was much scarier, and then suddenly forgot about that comparison when Spain passed them. (The Spanish press pointed out that their outbreak was worse than the US based on the NYT's metric and described it as such, which is partly how I noticed it happen.) I think that was a replacement for some other, broader comparison between the US and Europe they dropped earlier on after it stopped making the US look bad. It was really blatant too - they kept on reusing the same comparisions week after week as the gap gradually narrowed, and then when it would've flipped poof that metric went away.

Similarly, they stopped comparing the actual per-capita level of Covid testing in South Korea and the USA when the US passed them and not only started using meaningless metrics like test postivity (the two countries had... very different ideas on who to test, which didn't include most people with symptoms in South Korea) but outright claimed it was a lie to say the US was now the country doing more Covid testing using the swapped metric. I'm pretty sure there were quite a few others too which I've forgotten about or just missed. Haven't really been following their reporting so much lately.

> One thing that stood out to me lately is that their readers evidently think Europe did much better, from the comments section - and it's obvious why...

People who post in comments sections are a tiny unrepresentative subset of readers.

In my experience, the NYT comment section is mostly filled with garbage by partisans who cannot tolerate or process anything except that which fits their chosen perspective. For proof, just read comments attached to opinion articles by their token non-liberals. I don't think anything of value can be inferred from such a self-selected dysfunctional group.

Similar thing for me, went back to the office once it was an option. After a few weeks I started questioning why I was in the office at all, and I think it came down to a lack of social interaction in my life. Turns out that working on that completely separately from my job has made me a much happier person. And when I inevitably quit my current job one day, I won't be losing all of my friends.
All of the cloud providers and even VPS services have been dragging their heels on IPv6 for ages and it makes no sense to me. These services could all benefit from having IPv6 only options for people who don't need IPv4 addresses. V4 addresses are turning into real money, you would expect the services to try to optimize their use to save costs.

Even worse is when someone deploys IPv6 but does it in a comically nonsensical way like Digital Ocean[1]. Yes, you read that right, they assign /124s even though the smallest allocation is supposed to be a /64. And if you think this means you're sharing the same IPv6 address with virtually every other droplet in a datacenter, you would be right. Welcome to every blacklist everywhere. It is kind of like hosting an entire datacenter off of a single IPv4 address.

> I have a couple of popular extensions on the line, and I no longer see a way to stop Google without immediate government intervention

As the developer of extensions that are impacted by Google's anti-competitive actions, you can report how this impacts both you, and the market as a whole, to the competition and antitrust divisions of the government. I've posted links to forms and sites that you can use to report to the relevant state-level and federal-level regulators on HN here[1].

If you aren't in the US, the US also has antitrust legislation that applies to US companies operating in foreign countries, as well as a myriad of antitrust treaties and agreements with other nations. It might be worth it to also report it to the government of the country you reside in, as well.

> but their output in paper form is basically unusable

Others have commented as well but I will reinforce: their output is basically unusable for you for the purpose you want to put it to.

Which is fair, but you should also recognize that you are not the audience of the papers and for good or for ill the system is not set up to help you with this.
Blocked under the supposed reason of privacy, but extensions can still see every request, and inject whatever javascript they want, exfiltrate your data, etc. Meaning the reason is pretty clearly not privacy.
Duh! I see that I completely misread your last post, which was quite a mistake, given that it is just two sentences of only ten words!

If your basis for so believing is the same as you expressed a couple of posts back - that "fully automated" means that there is no possibility of human control, because if there is human control / supervision, the system is not fully automated - then you are simply avoiding the issue by using a pedantic definition of automation. It would seem that, to you, full automation of anything is a logical impossibility as there is no such thing as automation (in the usual sense) in your dictionary.

If this is your argument then, by your definition, even the task of governing the speed of a steam engine cannot be fully automated, as someone sets the desired speed. This sort of reasoning is not insightful; it merely turns your participation in a discussion into a statement of your private lexicon, and avoids engaging any substantive issue. Private lexicons are not useful in communication!

Furthermore, I can respond to your pedanticism by rephrasing the question: do you think it is impossible that commercial aviation could ever operate without human pilots either aboard the airplanes or controlling their flight remotely, beyond just setting target routes and schedules?
My life and well being of my family worth more than the worthless lowlives who going around robbing, shooting and hurting people.
It seems to me that the pandemic itself is not that big of a threat to society - after all, even if we did absolutely nothing and went about business as usual, some small X% of the population would die, hospitals might be forced to do bed rationing for a while (leading to more deaths), but the vast majority of citizens would get better in a few weeks due to their natural immune systems. 20-30 years in the future you wouldn't be able to tell it ever happened.

The threat to society as it relates to the pandemic is all due to red vs. blue political in-fighting over how much responsibility and power the government should have for protecting its citizens. That plus the added threat of economic turmoil due to commercially onerous government mandates/policies/efforts to reduce X% (lockdowns, capacity mandates, rent moratoriums, etc.).

I just find it interesting that society is tearing itself apart over a problem that essentially solves itself over time regardless of our actions, meanwhile society is not tearing itself apart over a problem that does not solve itself over time (climate change) and where doing nothing will eventually have consequences of apocalyptic proportions.
Sounds like you should put the manufacturer on a blacklist.
> Hunting is so expensive anyways. What's a few more bucks? Pun not intended

This is not a true statement. I started hunting with a $115 shotgun and a $35 license which in turn provided my 1 deer, dozens of rabbits and countless ducks. If I were to take just the deer into consideration compared to lets say the price of pork at $2.99 / Lb. ( not to mention the cost of beef ) One hundred pounds of pork would cost me $299. The deer cost me $150 and I get to keep the gun. No I didn't need a truck, I walked out the door and into the woods. Yes I had to buy ammo but it lasted several seasons and I got to use the gun for the rest of my life.

My junior and senior year in school hunting provided all the protein for my family.

Of course, just likely anything else, you can make hunting as expensive as you would like it to be.

> Embedded devices are already "game over". You don't own them (even if you paid for them).

Ugh, seriously. I have a Chromecast, and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't play things on my local network (via DNS names set up in my router's resolver). Turns out Google hard-codes their own DNS servers and doesn't allow you to change them.

The fix was to give the Chromecast a reserved IP address, and then set up some iptables rules on the router to redirect requests from it to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 on port 53 to my router. I'm surprised that Chromecast is using old-school port-53 DNS and not DoH.

Take a look at the https://tailwindcss.com/ page and search for "div". Can you replace them all with more semantic tags? If not, can you remove them and still style it the same way?

You need divs all the time for layout (e.g. to group parents/children in the right way for flexbox), to target content for styling (e.g. putting a div around the name of the author to make it blue when you otherwise wouldn't tag it) and to get around CSS quirks (search for "wrapper div" for examples).
I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but I got really tired of using it just because "It's not chromium". Mozilla been doing really stupid and frustrating decisions that made me feel like I'm in an abusive relationship. I've been eyeballing Vivaldi for a long time, and Firefox breaking compact mode finally broke the camel's back for me earlier this year.

When I switched to Vivaldi I felt like it's 2003 again, and I've just switched from IE to Firefox. Every single thing Mozilla removed from Firefox over the years is here, and most of the stuff I used hacky addons that would often break is here too! In the core browser, as first-class features, without the need to fiddle with userChrome.css or look through obscure flags. It really is a breath of fresh air and it puts into perspective how many excuses I've made for Firefox over the years. It's not worthy of being my browser, simple as.

Mozilla took my fundamental addons that separated Firefox from other browsers, they took my RSS reader, they took my cool Torrenting and Email clients that were a part of the browser itself. The TreeStyleTab requires you to go through obscure and hidden config files that often break with updates and the extension itself is not stable and fiddly. On top of that, I had way more Firefox extensions that aren't even different from Chrome extensions in major ways. In Vivaldi, I just get a nice panel with RSS, Calendar, Translator, Email client, Notes, whatever I want! The adblocker is built-in, the privacy features are built-in, you even get to put your tabs wherever you want. It has theming support that is as good as Firefox Colors, and it has custom search keywords that replace DuckDuckGos bangs for me more often than not. It even has the dark mode among other page filters, a screenshot tool, web page tiling! All the things that would turn my Firefox profile into a slow extension pile that barely works and longs for death.

Mozilla's "goals" of removing key features meant for people who actually would want to use a "google alternative" are laughable, and it's as bad on "privacy" axis as Chrome is because you have to use something like LibreWolf to get the actual privacy from it, very much like you have to use ungoogled-chromium with Chrome. If they think that turning the browser into a Chrome clone with some bumper stickers that say things like "Proud not to use Blink" and "We do say privacy a lot", then it's already dead to me.

> Defund advocates dismiss these arguments—not because they can refute them with evidence, but because they’re blinded by ideology.

I don't know how you are supposed to take a writer seriously when they write things like this.

> Even in the absence of a viable alternative, they demand that existing law enforcement structures be torn down.

And this actually just isn't true. The author has time to read academic papers on policing issues but he doesn't seem to have read any of the material that police abolitionists have written.

He also references Michael Shellenberger frequently, a man who has also written "Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All" and "Break Through: Why We Can't Leave Saving the Planet to Environmentalist". I think Shellenberger had to put aside his 'liberal' credentials a long time ago.

> Today, with few exceptions, there is no more involuntary treatment for serious mental disease or drug addiction. But nor is there a humane alternative. There is only jail or the streets.

Maybe this has something to do with public funding for mental health being slashed almost everywhere and also linked to drug laws. So people who are on the streets and self-medicating because they couldn't get treatment can't be placed in the few available options because of their drug intake.

The entire article is a gloss over the issues without any real look at it.

San Fran is indeed a messed up city. So is Oakland. But I really don't have time for white people complaining about a situation that never affects them.

> 5.2. Encrypt, Always: When deployed at scale, encryption can be an effective technique to reduce many inherited centralization risks. ...

The problem here is the word "Always". Encryption is good for just the reasons they say. But only encryption, always encryption, not having an option for plain text is highly centralizing in itself. This is because the current status quo for encryption is to use TLS based on certificate authorities. And CAs are always highly centralized and highly centralizing.

If Lets Encrypt ever goes corrupt like dot Org did it would cause an incredible amount of trouble and that entity would have power over a large portion of the web, if not the entire internet. There's an easy solution to this though. Don't throw alway plain protocls. Plain and TLS wrapped are synergistic. Use both. There's no need for, and it is damaging, to always encrypt without an option for plain text.

A hypothetical downgrade attack is not an excuse for using only highly centralized TLS CA based protocols in this context.

Yes, Jupyter notebook has used CodeMirror for nearly a decade. The official Jupyter notebook has never used Monaco, but the Google version (colab) uses Monaco in order to very nicely leverage LSP support (similar to VS Code). There is preliminary work under way right now to switch from CodeMirror 5 to CodeMirror 6 in the official Jupyter project, but that's going to be significant work (see https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/11638).

It doesn't seem like there is much overlap between Replit and Jupyter notebooks right now, as far as I can tell...
Thank you for sharing this.

If I read this article correctly then the author's point is that simply the passage of a bill to be enacted in the future is the cause of increased crime in the present, which seems like a shaky argument to me.

Also I'm noticing that the ABC7News article says

>More than $17 million will be diverted from the police to violence prevention and other services not involving police. Another $3.6 million will be put into the new MACRO program which will basically be a civilian crisis response program within the Oakland Fire Department addressing those in mental health crises.

This means that even assuming this is a net decrease of $20.6 million to budget, this is still giving back only ~half the net increase from this year's budget. So we should still be up $16 million or so vs. 2020
I think it is that the movement itself has caused crime to increase.

My friend is a police officer and is moving out of my progressive state to a more conservative one. He told me this is happening in nearly every department.

His reasoning was that they use to feel like they were on the side of the community, but in many places it is now the community is opposed to the police. Also they don’t risk certain things because they might have to use force and they’re worried they’ll be charged with a crime f or doing so, (especially if people riot enough and the DA needs to satisfy them).

All that adds up to more crime, even though budgets will probably rise to pay more to try to convince officers to stay.

How do we both protest police brutality when it rears its head, while still treating officers like they’re on the side of the good guys (like most, but not all, are).

I have no answer.

> You realize Firefox only exists because it serves Google's interests right?

Ironically, though, the larger Firefox's market share, the more Google will pay to be the default search engine in Firefox. Yes, it's perverse and a little gross that we depend on Google to such a large degree to keep Mozilla and Firefox funded, but having more users increases Mozilla's leverage over Google.

Anyway, your point isn't really relevant. Unless you believe Google is dictating nefarious things to Mozilla and has subverted Firefox (difficult since Firefox is open source, but not impossible), you should still be using Firefox. If you care about not continuing to give a giant, monopolistic advertising company control over the web, anyway.
