How much does it matter in practice ? If you personally decide to host your own blog from your house, nobody will probably come after you.

If you get enough traction, you’ll need to host a whole operation that can be managed by a full staff and serve millions of views every day. There’s now in the picture one or more platform providers, and payment processing that you depend on for your income.

A bunch of entities are now allowing you to have your soapbox, that can be swept away at any turn if you’re too much of a problem for any of them. No need to arrest you or kidnap you, “violate your rights”, they just cut your supplies.

High shipping cost? They pass along the cost of your choice of USPS, FedEx, UPS. You're not going to find anything better unless you buy on Amazon, which has a much bigger counterfeit problem.

I'd be surprised if Mali hardware didn't have some sort of inbuilt proprietary firmware. Even USB-C chargers seem to have that:

All the things you said about PDF are true. You can say other true things, like that it's true that PDF gives these nice archival properties and that at the same time it's true that PDF begins with the letter P. Nevertheless, it doesn't make sense to conclude that what you want from an archive format is for it to begin with the letter P. That PDF simulates physical pages (versus not) is similarly beside the point.
How is the view simultaneously eliminated and held by the majority of Americans?
That is fantastic and that man is most certainly a hero, no argument.

That said, my question was about how certain you were that at least some of the heroic acts you read or watched, were not some form of propaganda? Call me cynical but as soon as the conflict started I started investigating claims from both sides and I learned that a significant amount of what we heard early in this invasion turned out to be false propaganda.

Examples:

- Figher Ghost Ace turns out to be a myth https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/03/02/ukraines-figh...

- Israel TV Channel shows Star Wars Tie Fighter crash landed in Ukraine
https://www.nytimespost.com/israeli-tv-channel-runs-live-foo...

- According to Reuters/MSNBC/US Officials - There is no evidence Russia attacked nuclear reactors in Ukraine. https://www.reuters.com/article/ukraine-crisis-usa-nuclear-e...
If a publisher or author doesn't mind, as is the case with the article you linked, that's fantastic. O'reilly is a good business. But it's still stealing. I think if you have the money, you should pay for the product. It's one thing for a teenager to download a bunch of songs on Kazaa in 2000. But I don't understand why so many self respecting adult knowledge workers feel the need to pirate things they can afford just because they can. Seems entitled and disrespectful to me.
Quadruple gas prices tomorrow and see how liberal people are.

Renewables are great, but still out of reach. While it would be great to have a nation of Teslas ran off solar power, that won't happen for decades if ever.

What we really need are smaller cities，and better public transit
I read the article you linked. It says yes they attacked using small arms, but did not attack the reactors themselves. The OP indicated shelling, so you are correct that OP is not accurate. The video I saw showed a flare, which seems to be how the fire started. Firefighters were unable to get to it because of the battle.

Either way, why on earth are invaders within the fence line of a nuclear facility. Completely absurd

... actually conceded the night of the election. Bitched about it later, for sure. But conceded the election immediately. Something that hasn't happened yet for Mr. Trump.
Felt right to me at the time and I'm not able to come up with a better alternative right now so offer one if you got it.

I'm talking about people who are influential but not necessarily close, mostly friendly but I've fought some of these folks too. The people I come from but not my family. My people. Still seems fine honestly.

Satechi makes great products. I bought this usb-c multiport adapter and the main reason i love it is because all the other usb-c hubs have a fixed length cable attached to it that when im mobile or walking around a datacenter, they fall out. With this I can either use the short included cabled or any long usb-c cable to keep the adapter further away from my computer so it doesnt hang off the side and come loose.

At the same time, don't expect everyone to provide access to their platform regardless of what someone does.

I can't speak for Google, and I don't work in that part of ads, but my understanding is it's primarily because of how adversarial fraud detection is. If you give people who violate policy detailed information about what they did wrong and how you know then it is much easier for them to figure out how to abuse the system without getting caught. I don't like it, but I also don't know how to fix it.
Fun tip: If you have an array of RGB you can shorten that somewhat

const color = [254, 134, 29];
ctx.fillStyle = `rgb(${color})`;
ctx.fillStyle = `rgba(${color},0.5)`; // I use this one pretty often

Yup, would love to see more examples how this works!
I do not see how it is “double taxation”. The whole setup of the US is that there are multiple taxing authorities, and they can all lay claim to a portion of one’s income.

There is no law that says two different governments each cannot collect x% of your income.

What reason there is for one to need to be able to reduce amounts owed to entity A simply because they also owe entity B?

Entity A and B can be a retail store, grocery store, plumber, government, whoever.
Citizens have names. There's no reason to try and rely on statistical analysis to suggest whether improper voting has occurred. Provide evidence, not conjecture.
Really? What's the difference? It's not whether it's public or private making the decisions (they are both considering the amount spent in lobbying), it's the degree of control you ought to worry about.

There needs to be an actual free market where people have a realistic set of alternatives.

Pointing out public versus private is IMO misidentifying the problem.
If you've got a better way to stop the spread of malicious lies and misinformation, please share with the class!

If you're Republican, conservative or "libertarian" (riiiight), you need to be quiet and go sit in the corner while the rest of us decide what to do with you.
I disagree. They were using it as sample data, when they should have used synthetic sample data. It's totally sane to check-in a JSON (or similar) file with a few hundred [edit: non-confidential] samples so that you can run integration tests without needing to set anything else up.

Similarly, I keep small pdf manuals in git. I add them in their own commit, which doesn't have a useful diff. In exchange, they're always there and I don't need to spin up some special one-off system.
> Transform your 2D art into 3D Content

One suggestion: The example on your home page, to me, looks fairly three-dimensional (as far as 2D sketches go), with shading and everything. I would suggest a better example might help with capturing potential customers.

No, it's not weird at all that the mainstream media wouldn't publish such a story without multiple sources right before an election

There's Azov batallion, but Russia has its own Wagner group. None of that is an excuse to invade another country and shell civilians of course.

I only learned about this wiki couple of days ago. Obv looking for the elden wiki. Not really a fan of fextra, as someone else confirmed here about their shady wiki origins which I didn't even know about.
Signature matching doesn't really change anything, though. At best, that would allow someone to vote on behalf of someone else, but there is still one ballot per voter. And pretty quickly I'd expect it to make the news when people complain that their vote got rejected because the state says they voted already.

The "ballot harvesting" video was debunked thoroughly in a matter of hours after it was released.
> these types of interactions just don't happen anymore

And that's a good thing! I can't tell you how much of my day was wasted with pointless "lead in" conversation that ended up being just another business meeting. Or "lets get lunch" and it ends up being just talking about work. These are the "hello" slack messages of yesteryear. A frustrating waste of time. If you want my time schedule it, do not come up to my at my desk and ask me anything related to work. SCHEDULE IT. Otherwise once you let people into your work time they consume all of it and you end up working late every single day.

I have absolutely no interest in the personal lives of my co-workers and I strongly believe that if it can't be handled in an email, or a short meeting, then it's a problem that needs to be split up. I've carried this from junior to staff engineer and it's served me well. I zone out during long meetings and regularly work during other "important" meetings. There are very few meetings that matter to me because 99.9% of them are job justification on the part of PMs who want to hear themselves talk.

Remote has been a total life changer for me, and I've done it for the last 4 years. I am far more productive, I have a far tighter reign on my schedule, and the only thing I'm missing is those "little conversations" I couldn't care less about. I want to do my 8, clock out, and go home to do the things I actually enjoy. Remote has enabled me to do this WELL. I was miserable in the office and I enjoy life far more now. I even get the opportunity to pursue continuing education because I'm now rated based on my output rather than ass-in-seat metrics middle managers love.
>seems like Ukrainians are rather attached to their independence.

It's not only independence. They want to live in county that one day might aspire to western standard of life and freedom, and not to live in county where wrong word puts you inside prison for 15 years.

And that’s fine. Not everybody can or has to be heard by everybody else. There no such as a thing as an expectation to be heard by others.

That becomes more problematic and debatable once infrastructure companies such as a DNS provider or a hosting company refuses to deal with some content given that you remove the ability to create your own soapbox.
If China backed a violent overthrow of the Canadian government to install a pro-Chinese leader, and then was working on installing nukes in Canada while selling them weapons, what do you think the US would do?

John Mearsheimer is one of the few voices trying to shield us from the risk of a nuclear war that the arms and energy industries are happy to encourage for their own bottom lines. You are being fed propaganda, but it's not from John Mearsheimer.
If somebody works hard at a working class job, enough to become their own boss by either e.g. starting their own cleaning company, or buying another business like a hotel that they cleaned - are they no longer working class? Can they no longer claim to be of working class background? This seems absurd to me. They were not born into money. They had to work hard to get to where they were.
Consensus is only necessary when one needs to decide between conflicting choices, and CRDTs are by definition conflict-free. Nodes only need to verify that any update to the CRDT is in fact a legal operation on the data structure. Essentially, the paper details how to ensure two properties: (1) All nodes will eventually receive all legal updates, and (2) no node will accept a malformed update, (and crafting undetectable malformed updates is infeasible).
At least she conceded. Has Trump done that yet?
I left it out because I agree with that part, haha.

Unlikely to be the problem. Ukraine just received more Bayraktar drones from Turkey. And they'll receive more after that.
Seems like a fun game but I don't think it'll hit the worldle success because the dividide the middle and aim straigh for the diagonal strategy gets you a win pretty much every time. Mechanic wise I really like it. The delays and limitations would make you want to play it more too. Probably if you improve the algorithm you use to generate the blocks you can make it harder. Also maybe make the board bigger.

Ask HN: Early Development Story of RPi?
I was watching this video celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the RPi: https://youtu.be/eiwm5TMHIy8

They mention how they had to spend multiple years of development before the first release, iterating quite a bit. Does anyone know how they managed it? Like, how did they keep the engineers interested? Were they paying out salaries at the time? If so, where did the money come from?
Chaos and order is another scale for left and right.

It sounds unreasonable. But then again look at how many people complain about being banned by Google or Facebook for no reason and without recourse.

Maybe all it takes is to know a guy who can complain about the account in the right way that it automatically gets suspended and waiting for a human to take a look takes however many weeks.

Maybe 20k a day is still small fry according to Google. That’s only 7million a year. Apparently Coke has a total marketing budget of 4 billion a year. Couple of the big guys on board and 20k a day is just a rounding error.
> But that’s by design to force a consensus at multiple levels.

It is a flaw. Republican votes in California count for much less than Democratic votes in Wyoming. It's a national election, the counting should be done nationally. We did away with states voting for Senators, it's time to do the same for President.
I'm stilling waiting for proper stand-alone "smart watch phones". I don't think the form factor has been figured out yet, but I'm sure there is one.

One way I imagine it being possible is with a detachable watch from the strap via magnets, meaning it can be interacted with without holding your arm up and also recharged without removing the watch strap. The move towards removing ports helps the idea and improve IPS rating (as it did with smartphones).

The only real question is screen size. I'm still not convinced by folding displays, but it could be a possibility. The main requirement for a larger display is an on-display keyboard. A flip/slide-out keyboard could be interesting, especially something that types as nice as blackberry devices did [1].

All the ways in which you will care about how to buffer dimensions of your canvas to avoid aliasing artifacts can be handled with just the window.onresize event, whether your canvas is fixed or proportionally sized.

https://codepen.io/SeanMcBeth/pen/QWOoLNX

Throw a check in there to make sure the native dimensions actually did change so you don't needlessly redraw. Debounce it with setTimeout if you're super worried about people waggling their windows around or whatever.
100% agreed.
It's already fun, but these changes could make it something special. The "adjacent color matching" concept reminds me of an iOS game I like called "Kami 2".

> Having left, I forgot what it was like to be able to focus on something other than Apple. Incredibly toxic atmosphere on the inside. I work at a fast-paced startup and still work on average 10/hours a week less than at Apple.

Maybe it was because I worked there only during the pandemic, but I never really felt the emotional impact of Apple's toxicity. I could of course tell it was there, and if I actually cared about getting promoted or getting higher pay, I might have felt more stressed.

For example, after pointing out some areas where I thought a proposal could be improved, from that point on I just wasn't ever invited to any more design or strategy meetings. It's like I was just cut out from everything because I had the audacity to criticize something from some senior schmuck with tenure, and I wouldn't grovel and kiss whoever's ass I needed to in order to be "allowed" in those meetings from that point forward.

In hindsight I was glad I torpedoed myself right off the bat after I joined. Not actually ever having to be around any of those people in meatspace probably helped, but it was really easy for me to sit in my office at home and plug away undisturbed on the pet projects that I felt were interesting and worthwhile. What I created actually was helpful, but it was totally designed, written, and delivered in a silo. I collected my salary and stock for a year, added Apple to my resume, and then hopped on to another company with higher comp and a much healthier culture.

Now at this new place, everyone is falling all over themselves to have me in their design and strategy meetings. <shrug> Fare thee well, Apple. I hardly knew ye.
Today I learned. Just so we are clear, do we both agree that supporting Nazi soldiers is a bad thing no matter which side?

Also, it seems we both agree that invading another country and shelling civilians is also wrong, whether it is Russia or the US or others waging wars of aggression.
Sorry I wrote something really long but it gave too much information about me.
Oh, my. Please go explain that to the US public/media. They'll laugh you out of the room.
Everyone quoted this in regards to theocracies. It's clearly a way more abstract principle.

> Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.
> Not all voters are equal, but if people dont like you, you won't win

Does that sentence not completely contradict itself?

How often in modern times has a Republican president won a majority of the popular vote? Seems like the will of the people is not consistently respected, and even if people like you then you may very well lose. Especially if the people that like you are urban voters.

Stop buying the narrative that the media is concocting.
Agree on the economics, but I think it's weak to compare these to the purely forensic question of whether the election was stolen.

Economic opinions are generally not that clear cut, requiring an awful lot of theoretical harness and qualifications to explain. Evidence is similar, you can quibble about a lot of things in economics.

Whether the election was stolen, well, where is a shred of evidence? It's not hard to define what we mean by stolen.
I remember I did here in Italy. Seems normal to practice reading or writing.
Youtube kids is just an excuse to put the blame on creators if a video happens to be problematic. For a lot of reasons actual kids targeted content is not there, and a ton of predatory stuff still thrives there.

To your point, Youtube has a strong legal incentive to make Youtube Kids succeed, and they failed. I’m not sure we can expect better for other category splits that are no less controversial.
Before the printing press most people couldn't mass produce their written word. The printing press was a megaphone and a platform. Is taking away someone's access to a printing press censorship?

Not too many years ago no one had the ability to call anyone with a telephone. That service is provided by private companies in many countries. Is denying someone the ability to call their associates censorship?

Times change.
