Why is it a far left position to call out what protest leaders stated in their memorandum of understanding?
Play that out. How will it happen?
That's a nice way of spelling doxxing.Remember "it's bad only when the other side does it".

Only in the case where the subject in question is pushing public policy to hurt homosexuals while secretly being one themselves. Public figures are held to a higher standard of accountability, and a loss of some privacy is expected depending on how far your life dips into public policy and influence. The purpose in this case would be to expose the malicious hypocrisy.

Higher level, to demand anonymity when pushing resourced ($$$) speech in a democracy is attempting to subvert the political system while avoiding recourse for bad faith intent and/or actions (my observations from a systems analyst perspective).

Nuance and absolutism are incompatible.
You are right. Let's be real, if you're teaching Python to kids and bootcampers, you're going to only cover a little bit of what's in Python 2, and that's fine.

The other stuff is mostly designed by framework authors to by used by framework authors. And having nice libraries and frameworks is what really makes this language so useful for everyone.

It's trendy to claim Python is meant to be some kind of "pure environment" where the source code of Flask or SQLAlchemy or NumPy should just like a tutorial, but Python has never been that in the 10+ years I've been getting paid to use it.

I thought that was the aspiration of Go. As far as I could tell, Hacker News commenters hated Go and now it's mostly ignored and forgotten here.
Solo web design/dev is an industry that appeared out of nowhere, filled a massive void for a while, and that vacuum is collapsing in on itself with Squarespace and efforts like this one as the once-impenetrable field becomes commonplace.

But Ikea and custom carpenters coexist. Tailors/seamstresses and Macy's coexist. Programmers and designers will have to learn to live in a world where Squarespace and Wordpress are accessible enough that a startup or small business can hack something together that's good enough for a while without employing an artist.

The industry won't go away completely, but the fraction if it which can be replaced by cheap or free mass-produced/general-purpose products will be.
This one takes the cake, for me :D

(It's funny because I used to think the same when I was younger)
I think you can relax - because there is a very high evidence standard in surgery. It’s just not regulated in that traditional sense because there are way too many variations and caveats to everything. There are a million niches and each one is occupied by a tiny group of specialists who know everything about theirs. I know this because I’ve been to their conferences and they invest a lot of energy into collecting statistics, verifying hypotheses, trying out subtle improvements etc. And then they argue for ever and ever about which approach delivers an ever so slight advantage or improvement.

Well I do it already. About 1,000 feet for me right now. Once you have a tractor, it's just fuel and time.
Or ya know, since all these sites want basically the same look you could start a community illustration library the sources contributions from the body of companies that want this kind of look to everyone involved's mutual benefit.

What value are you gaining by having 20 companies pay 20 designers to make the same generic uninspired designs because the clients want it to "look like $every_other_tech_company.?"
Wealthy people are fine. They are mostly screwing over the working class.
LOL, student sabotage!. I think the paywalls would extract a penance that maintains their cash flow - remember, Greed is their mantra, may it never ever cease.
Some of us remember the “mostly peaceful” characterization by CNN of the protests in Kenosha.

We also remember the blockade of the rail in Canada.

We’re also not impressed by the pleas by inconvenienced government bureaucrats who couldn't be bothered to investigate the arson of 40 places of worship in Canada.
I guess it could have something to do with that Gemini is a registered exchange and regulated by the NYDFS, while BlockFi goes the more traditional cryptocurrency exchange route of "Let's see what turns out to be illegal when we get there".

I expected this before they shipped models running Linux, but thought I was safe now. I've learned my lesson.
To muddy the waters, I'd find this super duper weird. I've never had a chain of texts end with a formal "close" to the conversation. Doubly so since texting is async. I'd finally look at your "I have to go" message hours after you sent it and be confused at the update.
I don't think national disasters are in quite the same category of charitable giving.
Why not? Canadian PM expressed support for a protest going on in a foreign country last year which was purely an internal matter of that country.
Not the OP, but I gave my daughter a Linux laptop as her computer running Arch Linux. I guess she got it at around age 7 (she's 10 now).

No issues with it. The (IMO, kind of sad) reality is that almost everything she needs to interact with is either web or cross-platform electron. The only real exception here is Zoom, which has a native linux client. She doesn't really need to understand much detail to use the machine.

She used GNOME before she ever saw Windows. We switched school systems and now she has a Windows laptop at school and her Linux laptop here, which she switches back and forth between without any trouble.

The only usability quirk is the LUKS FDE decryption phase, where she has to enter in her password before the system starts. There's no GUI and bad feedback on when she's typing, so it's confusing. But she understands what to do now and usually has no trouble (you might be surprised at how flexible kids are).

It sounds like their problem at this point is probably travel restrictions.
Yes having to keep the sidewalk traversable sounds like a possible duty as, as you note, you have an easement.

But having to pay for it directly sounds extremely counter-productive.

And even the first part is dubious really: there should be sidewalks most everywhere including non-residential locations or the like, which the city would almost certainly have to clear alongside the roadway. Surely in that case it’s more efficient and simpler to just clear everything uniformly?
Read Blockfi's press release:

BlockFi is first participant in new regulatory framework for crypto sector

They're the first participant. They won't be the last. Police can't pull over every car at the same time and neither can the SEC go after every actor simultaneously. What the SEC has now though is a precedent of cooperation.
I'm confused, is only the truckers convoy data available or was all of GiveSendGo's database compromised? GiveSendGo hosts fundraising campaigns for the full constellation of alt-right, Proud Boy, J6, etc groups that don't get hosted by GoFundMe.

While I can appreciate the complaint about 'assigning homework', we do in fact have epicycles of trying old ideas out again. What's important is to look at whether the constraints have changed at all. Certain software architectures excel when the ratio of CPU to memory to network to storage is just so, and those inequalities shift around depending on what the state of the art is in computing at the moment. Some new breakthrough may temporarily put us back into the same situation we were in in 1996 and so all of those ideas get retreaded. What has generally happened is however is that there are stable states that tend to repeat, and so some ideas are a reasonable default, and others are context sensitive and may need to be backed out if for instance the storage people get tired of being shown up by the networking people and introduce something with 1/5th the latency of the previous solution.

But too often it's just a pendulum swing between two competing options that are both painful, and familiarity breeds contempt. Those glorious moments at the bottom of the pendulum swing are the only time we have any peace. If 1 of something is awful, 100 of them is probably awful too. 3 might be wonderful, but half the team steamrolls right past it without stopping to look around.

Where the technology treadmill concerns new languages and tools, it's in the interest of young people for there to be upheaval because from their perspective, they have a level playing field if we are using a tool that is 2 years old. They also haven't experienced the heartbreak of pouring too much of yourself into a doomed technology and so they are willing to rathole on just about anything. That 'cynicism' they see might just be someone with an advanced case of Same Shit, Different Day. "This didn't work the last three times," is offered on its own merits, but some people put a lot more thought behind it. It could mean "don't try new things just because they're new" or it could mean, "the new thing has not solved any of the problems that killed it the last three times." I think if you mean the latter, it's partly on you that you get lumped in with the former, because you could chose to invest 10% more effort into your reply and sound less like a naysayer. But honestly it's exhausting chasing after kids every time they pick up something new and put it immediately in their proverbial mouth.

Jesus Christ, you can't just leave your S3 bucket open, guys. There are lots of warnings from Amazon before you end up doing that, and it's so easy to not do (pre-signed URLs if you really need a URL).

I guess it's rather interesting to see the reactions from the media and HN comments. Sort of reflects the relative politics:

- Patreon leak. Media didn't go download everyone's data and threaten to get info. HN blamed Patreon.

- GiveSendGo (a terrible name imho). Media downloads the data and threatens to get info. HN blames the hacker.

I think I'm going to choose consistency here. I hate these data breach guys, but it's sort of like I hate mosquitos. If I could cleanse the Earth of them I would, but I can't. So I accept they are just a natural constraint. But if your hotel has mosquitos I'm going to blame your hotel.

This 'hack' is dealing with amateurish security. If you're in a controversial place you've got to do better. GiveSendGo has a lot of work to do (unless this was something weird this specific campaign did). And their security position on this was terrible: https://techcrunch.com/2022/02/08/ottawa-trucker-freedom-con...

> TechCrunch contacted GiveSendGo co-founder Jacob Wells with details of the exposed bucket on Tuesday. The bucket was secured a short time later, but Wells did not respond to our questions, including if GiveSendGo planned on informing about the security lapse those whose information was exposed.
The book has two interpreters. The first one is in Java. The second one uses C. If you're familiar with Java then it makes for a great learning experience to contrast the Java version with the C version. (I think it's worth it to learn just enough C to be able to go through this second version. It makes for an awesome learning experience!)
"Copy the socialists/communists? Over my dead body!"
Have you ever played Stardew Valley? One game mechanic involves managing relationships with members of the town. You need to discover peoples' likes and dislikes, keep up contact, and remember their birthdays and probably a few other rules I'm forgetting. There's essentially a spreadsheet that you manage. It's the strangest thing to me - it feels like the way an autistic person might view relationships, but also like it's common sense. I think it's just that in real life you're better off not keeping score on some things.
> I thought these protests were negatively affecting working class neighborhoods as well by honking horns during the night?

Truckers aren't burning down neighborhoods or looting small business right now. Yet a good chunk of Americans had no problem with all that US 2 years ago, in the middle of a freaking pandemic. But honking is now where people draw the line?

> Blacks have been through much much worse for hundreds of years, so the truckers going through troubling times for 2 years doesn’t really justify the comparison.

How is truckers struggles any less valid than any other? cause the people demonstrating are white or something?
> Wow, I wonder what the goal of that exercise was.

Clearly, to learn to spell words. In much the same way that kids have to practice arithmetic and saying "I just used a calculator to get the results" is fine in real life but not when you want to learn what addition is.
Not an insurrection. Not trying to overthrow the government. Not illegal to send money to people you like or across borders. Not an overtly hostile act. Truckers have rights too.
...and at the end of the day DeFi will be so regulated it will have all the bad parts of DeFi and regular finance.
Or that any less than 100% of truckers are working class.

tl;dr: There used to be a performance advantage when multiple sites loaded common resources from the same place, since it would often already be cached. But cross-domain caching could be used to violate your privacy, so browsers don't do it anymore, which nullifies that advantage.
The first half of the book uses Java, which you might be more familiar with. The C it uses is fairly vanilla. You shouldn't have to be a C expert to understand it.

Also, all of the code in the book has been ported to a large number of languages:

I haven't followed very closely so perhaps I missed it, but is there a source on that?

Only thing I can find is the reporting on Jagmeet Singh comments who is opposed to the truckers.
If protests were popular they wouldn't be protests.
Quite a few of the goon quad types you describe are more interested in their personal freedom than beating people up it seems based on watching the Glasnost-esque live feeds from Ottawa etc

You mean where your support for a controversial political movement would be irrevocably public? If this list had leaked Bitcoin addresses, the next thing you'd see would be a report of everything else those addresses had been used for.
>arson, vandalism, and looting between May 26 and June 8 were tabulated to have caused $1–2 billion in insured damages nationally—the highest recorded damage from civil disorder in U.S. history, surpassing the record set during the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

"$1-2 billion" from the George Floyd protests is between $70 million and $140 million a day, for 14 days. So that data might help you triangulate an answer to your question of "how long."

Looks like they broke the law.
Lol, OK. Sorry but suppress and restrict are very different words with very different definitions.

Restricting content on a single, privately-owned, non-monopolistic platform and total censorship (suppression) are two wildly different things.

Imagine 1984, but the Ministry of Thought requires you to go to the store next door to buy the controversial book you want to read. Annoying yes, but doesn’t quite have the same zing to it.

Censorship is a real problem with disastrous consequences throughout history. It’s definitely worth fighting censorship of ideas, this just isn’t censorship.
GiveSendGo is a crowdfunding site like GoFundMe, made by Andrew Torba and the others behind Gab etc., as an alternative to GoFundMe given that GoFundMe is politically picky about which kinds of causes it allows donations for and which kinds of causes they redistribute the raised funds of to other charities instead.

it could have a better name imo
That's amazing!

In 25+ years of keeping people in my database, and writing plain text all day, I'd never once considered keeping my list of people in plain text files.

Thanks for the description and inspiration.
Your question is answered by literally the first sentence of the article.

In the US, it's illegal to sell securities without registering with the SEC.
Plotly Express author here: yes, seems very similar! I approve! I've been toying with the idea of building what I had been calling "Vega Express" for a while, but now it looks like I don't need to ;)
I see your poll and raise you this one https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/02/12/two-thirds-of-canadia... where 2/3 of canada don't just dislike the protest but hate them so much they want the military to deal with them.
The order finds that BIAs are securities under applicable law, and the company therefore was required to register its offers and sales of BIAs but failed to do so or to qualify for an exemption from SEC registration. Additionally, the order finds that BlockFi operated for more than 18 months as an unregistered investment company because it issued securities and also held more than 40 percent of its total assets, excluding cash, in investment securities, including loans of crypto assets to institutional borrowers.
I've used an XPS 9370 with Debian stable for 3-4 years now. Compatibility has been good and performance more than enough for me, but my dev work doesn't require super high performance, IMO this is the wrong form factor for that anyway. I'm a minimal linux, i3wm type user so ... that's how low my requirements are for a decent desktop experience.

My main gripes:

For first few months wifi driver was unstable and would randomly cause kernel panics, sometimes once per day, sometimes once per week. (yes I tried manually installing newer versions and using different kernel versions)... eventually it stabilised and I haven't had any issue since - Even though this was not unique to this machine, it was annoying considering it was supposed to be built for Linux.

The battery capacity diminished faster than anything I've ever owned... currently at 20% of original capacity. There was a very sharp drop last year from 80% to 60%, then another sharp drop from 60% to 40% which I'm guessing is the controller writing off cells. (Manually calibrating it by draining never gets it above 30%)... Speculating this is possibly from heat damage (sometimes I will play a game which will get it a bit hot) or just crap battery quality - expecting to find some spicy pockets when I get around to replacing it.

Other than that it's been a solid Linux machine and very comfortable lightweight form factor to use. I still don't have performance issues personally, so will replace the battery soon and see how much longer I can keep using it.
You forgot the metric system.
You write on a many-to-many social media website kept up by active content moderation...
I'm not 100% sure, as I don't work for the SEC and don't have any special insights into this case.

But I'll make a guess and say that they probably downplayed the risks in one way or another on their website, compared to statements made to the SEC. Let's say they say "It's risk-free!" on their website while in a statement to the SEC they say "There is a small risk customer lose their funds if X happens".
And where is that lost millions in donations that was supposed to go towards their causes, exactly?

I'm mean first we have those defending hundreds of millions of damage to businesses including black-owned ones and now we have ones defending fraudsters unable to file their financial reports and instead go off with millions worth of donations unaccounted for.

Sounds like a very successful scam executed by the founders to fool lots of people driven by emotion and outrage.
Thanks Jake! I read HN every day, but almost never log in to post.
Nothing decentralized about BlockFi.
> Blacks have been through much much worse for hundreds of years, so the truckers going through troubling times for 2 years doesn’t really justify the comparison.

There’s no way you can objectively back this up. Not to mention you’re saying because some dead people had worse conditions it’s ok to make conditions for the living bad. That type of logic only applies to groups you dislike.
There are no English words of non-French origin for many of these; it's not a marketing tactic: it's just the only way to denote e.g. boucle fabric or chenille yarn.
You can say the exact same thing about law enforcement, and I presume you don't want to disband homicide and sex crimes enforcement.

There's a lot of variety in human brains. What will traumatize one person is comedy for another. There are (or at least used to be) websites you can seek out to look at pictures of grizzly death. It's simply not the case that everyone is damaged by looking at terrible things, and - to cut off that line of thought - the people who aren't are not monsters or sociopaths. They're just made of different stuff. I can't comment on whether Facebook et al are careful enough in their hiring practices, but I'm certain that there are plenty of people in the world that can do this job.

Email lists were popular before Facebook took over that niche. Nobody more than I would rather see the comeback of mailing lists, but that doesn't solve the problem. You can assume that if mailing lists got the kind of uptake that Facebook has, gmail/hotmail/etc would have the same content curation issues.

I'm still not sure exactly what you are proposing. Facebook gives me a way to communicate with my friends. It sounds like you want to take that away.
These protests are a disruption specific to the internal affairs of Canada. The U.S. has long had a dominant power relationship with the rest of the continent. The way that Americans have imposed their views on both sides of this internal conflict is both patronizing and deleterious to the self-determination of the Canadian people. It would be as suspect if one was to donate to the Shining Path, the Contras, the Medellín Cartel, or any other faction.
Because they were not one of those inconvenienced by the protests.
The hell I am. 1 in 2000 UK citizens are infected with abnormal prions. CJD can be latent for 20-40 years. In addition they covered up early deaths from CJD to prevent a revolt, mislabeling cause of death. Seriously pull on that thread
