Also keep in mind the limitations and biases of the CanIUse stats themselves - last I checked, their data was from StatCounter, and so based on people who visit websites that use the StatCounter service. The country-wise sample sizes [1] make the geographic biases clear - China is pretty underrepresented for example, presumably because Chinese websites don't use StatCounter as much. There may also be other kinds of biases in the data that are not so easily visible.

This is not to say that the stats should be disregarded; just that like any other data source, it should be treated as one view of (some of) the data, with its own shortcomings.

The legislative branch (congress) isn't supposed to be law enforcement. Law enforcement is squarely executive, as is presidency.

Unfortunately, I don't think even this is supported. The Android app can't seem to act as a secondary device in any configuration.
I think if a Democrat came around and said “no abortion is a good abortion” and created a policy to reduce abortions not through prohibition but through funding research of new contraceptions, family planning, and education, that could make for a widely popular platform.

I doubt that. Republicans would still hate everything else about them. Some Democrats would agree, but for many abortion is incredibly important -- because even many Republicans agree that there are some abortions (like for women who have been raped) that are acceptable.

how about we let States determine how many migrants are allowed to live and work there

Because the Constitution guarantees that people can freely move from one state to another. There is no Constitutional way to enforce those borders, and I don't think either party is going to like anything in that direction.

People are not missing simple solutions. There are difficult problems of living together that aren't solved with a one-liner.

They're also not the real issue. Living together is genuinely hard, but it only becomes impossible when the individual people have made hostility a fundamental goal. Our disagreements about the issues have become almost completely subordinate to tribalism.

I won't hide that I consider some people more responsible for that than others, but it doesn't really matter who. Any solution won't come from ratcheting down tensions on individual issues, even if that were possible. Some powerful corporations and leaders have profited from it, but at this point it's self-sustaining, and there is no easy solution.
What's the science behind claiming that conservatives prefer authority over fairness or caring for others?

Sounds like unscientific terms used to demonize an large group by choosing favorable characteristics for one group and unfavorable characteristics for another.

Conservatives do it also by characterizing liberals as emotional and irrational and bleeding heart and impractical and incompetent furry avocado toast eaters.

I don't know how accurate these labels are for large groups of tens of millions of people.

Sounds like the kind of thing people want to hear to feel a moral superiority over a group that they differ from, exactly what the article describes.

It's like saying all Arabs have terroristic tendencies.

I would love to see Book sales of that specific book broken down by political region.
In the US the term “Professional-Managerial Class” or PMC is catching on in certain circles to try to represent this. There’s also the term “upper middle class” which really just means middle class in most cases.

One difference in the US and a lot of European countries, to be fair, is that our tax/retirement policies encourage you to acquire significant amounts of personal capital. So there may be a big qualitative difference between PMC members here and elsewhere in terms of actual wealth.

We are too far gone to relabel middle class though, it’s a lost cause. Lots of working class people (even on the low end of incomes) see themselves as middle class.
The problem here is that you forgot that asyncio gives you cooperative multitasking. That means you need to hand of control periodically whenever you're doing anything CPU intensive or you end up starving everything else. That happens when you do things like an I/O operation or sleep. Either that, or you hand off the CPU intensive stuff to something on a seperate thread.

Now, I'm used to this stuff from doing GUI programming on RISC OS back in the day, and got to know instinctively when I should be using WIMP_PollIdle there. For asyncio at work, I've some wrappers around range(), iter(), enumerate(), &c., that will periodically hand off control with a zero length sleep occasionally in CPU-bound code.
Because there's been an uptick in domestic terrorism? As in not from foreign nationals (eg Islamic terrorists). The richest country in the world with the biggest military almost failed a year ago. Something should be done about it.
Possibly in order to prevent social engineering they have simply sought to make it impossible.
The entire thing is a bit odd, as we’ve always had an agency that investigates domestic terrorists. It’s called the FBI.
Those flash blindness goggles are a terrifying reminder of how much effort we have put into delivering weapons of mass destruction.

In 2062, US healthcare costs continue to rise. Congress gets together to discuss a bill to fix it. Increasing healthcare funding would put them 5% in deficit.

They could reduce the military budget which takes up 50% of the total. Afterall, the US hasn't had a war since it pulled out of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan 40 years ago. Yet, funding has continued going up. The Cabinet chief of domestic terrorism argues that funding is needed for domestic efforts.

Those in support argue that the National institute of Domestic terrorism's (NIDT) funds are key to academic research in the sciences, meta verse and improved AI sentience.
Those in opposition argue that their funding breakdown is a black box, and they need to be audited. The NIDT must be held accountable to the constitution.

Compromise is struck. The Congress approves another 10$ billion for an audit and accountability department in the NIDT. Another $10b are allocated to an exploratory team on healthcare policy. President XÆA-12 calls it a historic moment.

The power output of the Kafka and Orwell grave-power-plants is 10GW higher today. All is right in this world.
> Pretty sure everyone working inside the Capital that day felt terrified.

that's exactly the point poster is making; there was a distinct disconnection between the terror that 'everyone working inside the Capital that day felt' , and the actions/personalities/feelings/emotions portrayed by those considered 'terrorists' that day.

I can't think of any other 'terror' event ('event' chosen in an effort to be non partisan) that took place that way, even when considering suicide bombers and hijackers -- there is clear evidence that the 'terrorists' in those respective incidents felt fear and terror themselves during the act.

the 'terrorists' involved in the Capital event had big smiles on their faces, posed for pictures, texted with friends, drove together in large groups, got together on social media publicly and invited their friends and families to come join them in (what they called) protest.

I have no doubt that those in the Capital were afraid -- but to view this as just the same as any 'terrorist' activity in the past is, too, missing nuance and context.

I don't know what happened, and I don't know what it was -- but I know it wasn't anything like 9/11 or the Oklahoma City Bombing , two events that stick in my head as 'terrorism' , writ large.
The world would be a better place if more politicians and their ilk were terrified of the people.

More walls, security, and protections for them means less freedom for us.

They've had walls up for just a year and what do we have? Federal mandates for medical procedures, 9 supreme court justices deciding whether or not 30% of people will lose their jobs or have a forced medical procedure.

fairness and caring for others have zero negative connotations.

those are universally respected and well received attributes across time, culture, and space.

purity and authority have many negative connotations. I don't even need to say them.

I feel like it's disingenuous of you to claim otherwise.
That this is essentially a low-key Stasi that can and will be used to improperly go after political dissidents under the guise of "domestic terrorism."

The entire campaign/programming around "protecting our democracy" was the precursor psychological operation so the population goes along with single party rule.

NBC News was running this last year (more priming): https://ww3.bongino.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/dhsadviso.... It's all clever wordplay designed to manipulate the public into thinking people who disagree politically are terrorists (absent any actual proof that they have intent/motive/etc to commit acts of terror). It's the same logic that's held people from January 6th in solitary confinement without charges of insurrection (despite the media parroting/programming that it was an insurrection).
Some: weather, ratings, topography, dictionaries and encyclopedias, sports scores, market prices, some other stuff. All public knowledge, but not necessarily publicly available (easily) in raw form.
I don’t understand this argument. Obesity is one of the leading causes of death in the US and one of the biggest comorbidities even with Covid, for example. It’s entirely preventable in nearly all cases. Should we tax obese people more? What about old people who use up the majority of resources? Parents who knowingly give birth to children likely to have genetic diseases?

Do you really, really want to start taxing people and dictating behavior based on their medical expense?
I share your excitement, but there is a problem. How can you get hired and paid in those innovative industries?

If you are 20 - you are in a good position to get appropriate degree and start building your career. If you are 35+ with family and wrote backends and microservices - it is not that easy to move. How can you get into robotics, space travel, VR - will anyone hire you based on some pet projects? How many current engineers are able to go back to a school and get an MSc in Robotics and then start again as junior engineers?
What I mean by "naturally free" is that if I was alone on earth, I could park anywhere, for free, without having to work for it. Gold? I'd have to dig it up, I'd have to smelt it; a lot of work there, not naturally free. Parking? It's a free resource.

The "scarcity" is largely manufactured. Go to Google earth, take the street view dude, plunk it randomly anywhere in the central United States - and there will almost certainly be untapped free parking space as far as the eye can see.
Modern malware is so often quite boring. Like this one, it doesn't actually perform any interesting attacks on its own, it just uses bog-standard autorun for persistence and generic names to obfuscate its presence. Nothing particularly sophisticated or technically impressive imho.
Actually, the reason WalMart has free parking is because it is always placed far from where people live so everyone has to drive there, and because everybody has to drive they all have to park eventually. Then, to accommodate all this parking cheaply, the stores will have to be placed on cheap land which is far away from residential areas and you get a vicious cycle...

The notion that parking is somehow a necessity is only really because of crappy public transit and sprawling cities. In a dense city with good transit options, point-to-point driving wouldn't even be among the top options for getting places to begin with.
This is another cool tool: https://leonardocolor.io/

You can compare monochromatic scales between various color space interpolations and order them by contrast (great for accessibility work). Lab is from the 70s, the newest one there is CIECAM2 from the 2000s, also looking most natural to my eyes.
"The Future of Hardware Is Software" ... says everyone that wants to sell you AI software on commoditized hardware.

Yet here I am, I recently won an AI competition by reviving an old 2005 algorithm and just using the fact that compute power has 7000x-ed since then (from 5 GFLOPS on a P4 to 35 TFLOPS on a 3090). No AI was needed.

And now I'm building custom electronics for a new type of 3D camera because even after years of AI and deep learning research, structured light and/or stereoscopic 3D depth estimation is still unusable. Try training a NERF from "only" 3 UHD images and you know what I mean.
An argument for making it the developer's responsibility is that buildings should last a long time, so should be designed with flexibility to deal with future neighborhood and city developments.

Take the building in his example, with 42 units and only 5 parking spots. That means 37 units are only useful to people who either don't have cars or who can find their own parking such as on street or at nearby paid lots.

Now imagine that other building are built nearby with similar ratios of units to lots, which might lead to a neighborhood where there is not enough street parking or nearby lots, and most units are only useful to people who have no car.

If the neighborhood has good public transit that might work. If transit is not great through you could end up with a lot of units that are only useful to people who can spend most of their time within walking distance of their home.

How well that works depends on what else is in the neighborhood.

By building buildings with only parking for a fraction of the units, you are making a building that only works in some plausible evolutions of that neighborhood.

If on the other hand you make it a requirement that the developer provide parking for all or most units, so they then include a parking level under the units you end up with a building that works in a much larger range of possible futures for development in the neighborhood and for changes in public transit.

If at the time you build the building a mix of 37 units without parking and 5 with parking would be fine for that neighborhood, build in the parking level but partition it into 5 parking spaces and and 42 storage. The storage units will make the units more attractive, and if future needs change so that what you need there is a building with more parking you can change the partitioning of the parking level. You can even configure it back and forth as the neighborhood and city evolve over the lifetime of the building.
Like Matrix. Signal can't even be installed without Apple or Google.
I used LastPass for a while too, but I then switched to KeePass, using syncthings to have a single db. At first that was great, but after a few save mistakes, and a slight change in need, I've switched to a hosted bitwarden (using vaultwarden).

I've not had a single issue with it since, it's fully compatible with the official bitwarden app (which works rather well), and is much easier to use when other people in your household also need to manage their passwords.

Point of note : the android app syncs the database locally, and can be accessed/used/exported even offline, which is very, very reassuring in case of server/network failure

Casual readers not confronted with a wall of text also don't feel compelled to accidentally drown in scrolling through all of it just in case there was a juicy morsel buried somewhere down below. Both approaches have pros/cons.
I disagree, Google and Apple are the ones that have locked these devices down. They have the keys and the technical abilities -- they have an obligation to keep them up to date or unlock them.

There might be a business rationale to bend to reality, but no obligation. In this case it appears to be a volunteering organization, so I guess they might not be as motivated to solve niche problems.
Yes, and if you read the article carefully, it's not really an issue. Sure they say "A single becquerel that gets into our body is enough to damage a cell that will eventually become a cancer cell," but that's like saying the only acceptable risk is zero, so at odds with reality. The fixation on nuclear waste is amazing, considering we get more radioactivity in the atmosphere from coal and loads of people die because of coal every day. People seem awfully chill about that.
> So I tend to disagree about "don't be a jerk" and "respect is earned" being opposites.

Would it make sense to not respect people one doesn’t know anything about, and at the same time, not be a jerk?

Respect is not “earned”, as it is one of the basic pillars of society.

If the author used “respect” in the sense of admiring someone’s achievements, then the statement is a truism and thus useless anyway.
They milled around enough to kill cops in an attempt to subvert a fair and free election.
Man, I'm glad I snuck a 1080ti purchase in a few years ago when BTC was crashing hard. Of course, being Nvidia means it'll suck if I have to transition to a Linux Desktop before the next cryptoshit market crash, but if it takes that long then they've probably managed to kill of high-end PC gaming along with the environment and I'll have bigger problems.
It's irrelevant as to whether they could have seized power or not. What matters is the attempt to do so.
Same, but I switched a while ago to using Syncthing for the database instead of cloud storage.
> we need a new standing paramilitary force?

Where do you get "paramilitary" from? This is the Justice Department, not the FBI. All the article says is:

> the new unit will be part of the National Security Division and will work to "ensure that these cases are properly handled and effectively coordinated" across the department and around the country.

That seems to imply a bureaucratic effort, nothing like what you're claiming.

> those people actually got inside and just milled around. there was no plot, no mission.

Some photos suggest otherwise [1].

> isnt it established fact the fbi had agents actively provoking the mob? known persons on video involved, not being prosecuted?

No. Care to provide sources?

The data don't get stale, so scientists will be able to make inferences based on that data for as long as they'd like. A lot of it will never stop being useful.

If a much better telescope comes along or an especially dynamic phenomenon is discovered there might be a temptation to take more pictures of something that has already been captured, but otherwise, why would you? This data is expensive and will probably remain so for quite some time, for the obvious reasons.
With all the lock-in and connectedness of Google owned systems, they cannot complain. And it's not Apple's fault that Google can't build long term successes in most products it creates. That's a management/strategy problem.

How many messaging systems has Google had over the years?

Their shotgun approach works financially, but it means that only a few of their projects really stick (win). The rest just trundle along until they get discontinued.

The hypocricy is tiresome. When there's a regulation that threatens them, they make a lot of noise about "free market", and "let the market decide". But when the market decides against them, they want some government intervention.
95% of the land isn't used by any launch infrastructure, only 5% of the land is used, so please, how is this routinely abusing the area?
Agreed. Terrorism charges against antifa and affiliated "black bloc" extremist groups are long overdue.
Middle class in England used to mean wealthy but without any actual title. Since the US lacks entitled people (meant in a literal way) there was no one for the term upper class to apply too, so I think everything else just had to move around to adjust for that.

Minus the whole forced entry thing.

Also untrue (or at least equivalently untrue. People were charged with crimes, although afaict all misdemeanors because there was no forced entry or threats of violence)

> and nobody claimed to being terrified that day

Probably because they weren't the same.
Why does Apple need to do anything at all? It's not like there aren't a gazillion iMessage alternatives, so you can't argue monopoly. There is no lock-in, there is just lock-out. The lock-in that is being described is literally the result of building a good product that people don't want to get rid of (for whatever reason, including social pressure). But there is nothing actually locking people in to iMessage from a technological perspective.

Apple built a superior service, and the price of using that service is an iPhone. Does it suck for Google and Android users? Yes. Is that the whole point? Yes. Is there anything wrong with that? I don't think so.
That's too bad, but a living wage and universal health care should be the bare minimum. It's a broken system and people are restless.

To be fair, the "global war on terror" is trying to tackle a problem that can easily move itself and spread to countries that often have barely functioning or extremely corrupt governments.

It’s a real challenge - you can try and do more pre-processing on a submitter’s device to try and avoid mistakes or malicious use of the system. The big limitations are:

1. How much processing time can you put on what might be a mobile phone - it’s using MD5 for Videos, but StopNCII did also try other things that were just too slow for phones.

2. StopNCII chose to do verification on platforms after a match rather than do it up front to prioritize the privacy of the user. This decision came after a lot of feedback from victims and experts who represent them. There are all sorts of techniques you can use to process server side (thus saving the person’s phone’s CPU), but it deliberately doesn’t retain enough context to make them viable.

At least the wood is definitely being useful - it's keeping you warm. Same for cooking a meal (it's eaten afterwards, was it useful?), cleaning your room, etc.

Can you or can't you provide evidence that your claim has been "established"?
With a meagre extra 4 lanes
It was a protest turned aggressive, it was in no way an insurrection, no evidence has been presented that was the intent of the group what so ever.

Also why would you even bother doing it that way? You could use far fewer people who are coordinated and go after the politicians at their homes where there is much less security.
