The "amount of human lives cost" is also not a real thing, because we have an incomplete picture of elasticity for market substitutes for energy demand (which is nearly all goods, because they all require energy)

Point is - using your dryer does not actually cause human suffering. This is a simply a utilitarian argument with an incomplete picture, the structure of which is often utilized to promote atrocities like communism, genocide, etc.
So this is spam right.

"Note 2: This experiment is not an exercise in climate prediction. There is no correlation between the consequence chosen and the address entered. Our algorithm applies a systematic transformation regardless of the address."

This website is literally to generate disaster porn under the guise of climate change, with no relation to reality whatsoever. I feel like this is a great example of the Kuleshov Effect and would say a lot about the viewer.
How many units after that? You can sell a 40K units in five minutes but if that 40K = all your potential buyers, that is a dead product.

All that tells you is that 40K people knew about it, wanted it, and had the disposable income to purchase it.

I bet sales slowed pretty quickly after that.
It's funny, those are the exact pages I checked when answering.

But as someone who's not particularly well versed in physics, it's not clear to me how much of a difference 1 gf makes in terms of feel.

Plus, on the same pages, regarding actuation, it says that the Cherry is "light", whereas the Gateron is "medium". But a few lines below, the actuation force is actually higher on the Cherry (37 gf vs 36 gf). Also, the "spring force" is higher on the Cherry, so maybe it's expected for it be "stiffer"?
> The phrase 'threat to democracy' in this context at this time ought to be a red flag that someone's trying to pull a fast one.

Why? I mean it's a common rhetorical move for all kinds of reasons and most of them aren't good, so just by pattern matching sure I guess. But also one of the two political parties in the US is openly contemptuous of the institutions of the state and is blatantly attempting to undermine trust in and power of our elections and legislature. You can't really both-sides that one and it's not hyperbolic to describe it as a threat to democracy.

Your last point I mean yes, certainly. But what do you expect from obama here? He's a millionaire monster war criminal like all american presidents always have been, he's not going to ask us to tear down his own house. That one is on us if we want it to be different, no one with any appreciable power under the circumstances has anything close to a reason to change it.

At that point Russia was choke full of nukes. How can you possibly not "let them live" without being annihilated in return.

Please, calling it a coup is a joke. France has larger demonstrations almost monthly (at least during non-Covid times), I've seen larger riots in the aftermath of hockey games.

Oh goodness, here we go. What country did the US bomb for oil?

We went into Afghanistan because the Taliban harbored the organization that committed 9/11 and refused to turn them over.

We went into Iraq primarily because a group of Neoconservatives were drunk on the unipolar moment and believed the US could spread democracy at the barrel of a gun and remake the Middle East. Haliburton definitely made money in Iraq, but we did not go in for oil.

The invasion of Iraq was based on the fact that Bush and Cheney were neoconservatives, which means essentially liberal Trotskyites. They believed that human rights were universal and it was legitimate to uphold them by force. So in their logic, Saddam Hussein was a bad a guy and Iraq was a good candidate for showing that the US can start rolling into places and giving the people their freedom, just like that.

The basic assumption was that stable democracies grow on their own once you get rid of the dictator. So show up to a country, get the dictator, rinse and repeat. Now you have nice democracies all throughout the world. In that view, not invading is immoral because it means you’re condemning millions of Iraqis to live under Saddam’s dictatorship.

The basic lesson from this is that countries don’t act out of material self-interest as much as armchair cynics assume. Instead they’re frequently operated on an emotional or ideological basis.

It's somewhat telling that this event is triggering such panic among the political class. Currently every meaningful social network has more or less the same policies and content moderation. If something is banned on one network (facebook, instagram, twitter, tiktok) it'll almost certainly be banned on the rest. Why not right?

But now that ownership of one network changes hands, it's causing everyone to panic. At least we're dropping the facade about what the political class is really asking for. It's no longer a "private platform, they can do what they want". It's now everyone must follow the same rules mandated down from politicians. Before now the leaders of these networks just happened to enforce the policies the political class wanted. They just have to drag the leaders in front of Congress once in a while to get them back in line. But now that one network is at risk of breaking ranks, everyone panics.
George Bush won the popular vote in 2004, just barely. Otherwise the point stands - especially for 2016, where the popular vote for the "winner" Donald Trump was only 46%, a margin of about 3 million people. It was the third most disenfranchising election in American history, and the others were in the 1800s.

This is because ARM uses device trees to know what hardware's on the device, versus x86 which discovers it at boot. Every rom has to be specifically built for that exact device model.

That is not possible as it will always find an equilibrium of miners that find it less worthwhile vs the supply. Less miners means less supply means higher price means more miners etc..

You'd have to kill bitcoin completely somehow by the price going so low that it will never recover due to people believing it can never recover. If nobody believes it will ever be a higher price than it is now than nobody would ever buy any.

It passed that point of no return a long time ago.

> One “of the biggest reasons for democracies weakening is the profound change that’s taking place in how we communicate and consume information,” Obama told an audience in a keynote speech at a symposium at Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center.

This is some pretty impressive Newspeak.

The reason Democracy is “weakening” is because people have been lied to by elected representatives in both parties as well as institutions and traditional media outlets for decades.

Social media has finally given the public a chance to learn about a lot of things that would have simply been covered up or ignored otherwise.

What it sounds like Obama is really pushing for here is government/totalitarian control over what speech should be permitted, the exact opposite of free speech.

A healthy representative Democracy requires information flows that are complete so the public actually knows what their elected representatives are doing. Without this, it creates a situation of mistrust and people do not have the relevant information they need when they go to the polls to vote for their representatives.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant as they say.

This is the real fear that most of these people have when it comes to Musk buying Twitter. They are afraid he will remove censorship controls already in place on the platform.

You counter misinformation with better information. If that's a problem your ideas aren't very good.
My first instinct is definitely together, but perhaps namespaced, which will lead to some redundant naming but makes sure there are no conflicts. As a consumer you don't want to run to different endpoints all the time to get different things done, you want one endpoint and change the operation through the GraphQL query/mutation/subscription.
> The log parser is now screwed. I can think of similar examples outside log parsers, too, such interoperability related between different system

Use a sane system, like journald that can dump logs in JSON and doesn't require you to parse dates by hand. It can also deal with binary content fine, and can store stuff like crash dumps in the log if you want to, and provides functionality to make log parsing easy.

In any case I don't think such a problem should happen in the Powershell model. If you have a log object, then your $log.Message can contain any arbitrary garbage you want, and so you can just go and put that in a database and have that work with no trouble.

> This is not guaranteed.

Of course, but there are better and worse ways of doing things. With the object way, you can extend stuff quite easily with a minimum of care. As opposed to the unix model where you have to think whether somebody, somewhere might be using cut on this and fixing a typo in a descriptive text that adds a character might break something.

> Anything that is tightly coupled with precisely defines things is going to break, there is no scripting solution possible, I am afraid.

Not the best example I admit, but I mean in the case of something like Get-NetIPAddress in powershell, so long the user is either looking for the specific thing they want, or ignores stuff they don't recognize, you very much could add a yet new addressing scheme without running into trouble.

Good design helps a lot there. If you make it clear that stuff has types, and that new types may appear in the future, it's easy for the end user to write code that either ignores anything it doesn't understand or gives a good error message when it runs into it.
> I think your three examples are all subjective statements, and not objective knowledge.

They aren't empirical knowledge, which is the point. They are nevertheless knowledge in the sense that is relative to humans.

Another example: I accidentally rear-end somebody at a traffic light. He jumps out of his car hopping mad and storms towards me. I know he is angry, but how do I know that? I know that because of my qualitative assessments of the situational context and his body language. There is no objective empirical analysis going on in this situation, but nevertheless I know what's going on.
I disagree. There are plenty of outlets, multiple TV channels, multiple social networks, newspapers, websites, etc, for Trump to get his message across.

> And it is not easy to start a new Twitter or YouTube in any meaningful sense.

Apparently it is - Trump started his very own, just like that. didn't even take that long.
Build engineers are responsible for tooling and infrastructure around version control, CI/CD, testing, linters etc. — the build process writ large.
Surprised to see no discussion about the supply chain attacks against Russia where devs added malicious code that would computers with ip addresses in Russia & Belarus.

How does one guard against that? Review every patch?
I'm not really sure why this is taking on a political slant from commenters here aside from the fact that Obama as a politician is a polarizing figure. The content of what he said is completely accurate and just about any credible researcher in the field will tell you so. Misinformation and especially Disinformation is a very large problems that will have to be addressed in some way if we're to have an actual functioning democracy.

They certainly aren't the only issues we face, but calling for platforms to take greater accountability isn't and shouldn't somehow be viewed as political. It doesn't matter whether you're for red, blue, putin, Snoop or the Pope. If the places people go to consume information are allowed to become inundated with blatantly false information, that's a bad thing.

There is absolutely an argument that Twitter, FB, etc. should never have become peoples sources for information but the reality is that this is the world we live in and for better and worse and we need to craft policy based on people's actions not what they should do.
This is what I’m worried about as well. Remember those “Works best in Internet Explorer” badges and having to close Netscape and open IE just to have sites function? That experience is about to have a modern incarnation.

It’s bad news for Firefox, too. With Firefox/Gecko marketshare barely hanging on at 3%, WebKit/Safari is the last bastion against a near-Chromium/Blink monopoly at 19%. If devs don’t have to care to test against Safari they definitely aren’t going to bother testing against Firefox.

At this point I think it may be prudent to push for Chromium/Blink to be spun out of Google into a non-profit organization. Its overwhelming majority marketshare makes it too prone to abuse by its owning corporation.
> Does this level of detail regarding feel really matter?

To whom?

This is a very subjective thing and the answer is that it matters to some people more than to others. The point is, that even spending 200 Euros on a thing that you use for hours every day can be justified if this is the thing you spend your life with if it feels better.

Note: it must not be objectively better, it just needs to feel better.
> For months I thought this was a deficiency in my playing, until eventually I discovered some latency setting, read about what latency was and realised what was going on.

It's a good idea for anyone doing things related recording audio: ask someone how to measure the "round trip latency" in the software you're using. Ask on forums, HN, Facebook groups how to do it. If someone responds with simple arithmetic to calculate latency, or responds with the term "latency" that isn't preceded by the words "round trip," or does anything other than tell you a surefire way to measure the round trip latency for that software: go somewhere else and ask again.

This will get you a baseline measurement of your system: one that that you can use to ask future questions and get practical answers.

If you don't do this you'll get spammed with "help" from people who write before they measure.
Lol as if America has a "left"

Wake me up when there's a non-marginalized figure in American politics capable of putting a bill through congress to nationalize a major private corporation.

Or when universal healthcare has more than a snowball's chance in hell of becoming reality (and no, the abomination that is Obamacare is not that)

Then we can talk about the "left." The thing you're complaining about is presumably the liberal culture wars and identity politics, which is only co-traveling with core left wing issues, and is the only part of the "left" permitted in American discourse.
Absolutely! There's no reason why someone paying with cash should be forced to pay 2.5% credit card fee on every transaction (because the merchant isn't allowed to give a discount for cash or increase for credit card use) even though they're not even using a credit card. It just forces everyone to use the credit card in order to get some of the fee back.
What he really means is that unregulated social media could cause his side to lose...

Media regulation is what dictatorships do, not democracies. The left should focus more on what it claims to support (the plight of the working class) if they want to win elections... People are upset about inflation and wages and the left establishment in most countries is doing fuck all.

Average commute time is 28 minutes [1] and if I didn't just mess it up from the raw data [2] the median is about 24.5 mins.

EDIT: median of the state level means. So it's still possible that "most" people are above these numbers, although it seems unlikely given the outlier bias can be stronger in the high direction.

They do. There are locks that are over 100 years old in design that nobody has ever published a picking method or tool for publically (kromer protector comes to mind).

Beyond that most locks that require specialized tooling to pick or are ranked above red belt on the lpu rating chart are more than secure enough for even commercial purposes. The chances of an intruder successfully picking say abloy protec 2, clavis f22, opnus mmxII, assa twin combi, etc are infinitesimally small compared to them trying to brute force entry through another opening like a window
When I was 4, my parents built the house where I grew up. Back then, it was out in the country. For the first year at least, some of the wildlife wasn't ready to admit the space they occupied was no longer theirs. Scorpions were one of the longest hold outs, as they were constantly making their way inside. According to my parents, I was four so don't really remember, but I was very good at chasing them without getting too close to get stung. I'm assuming the parental units told me they would sting and I'd get hurt/ouchy/etc. Guess I actually listened.

The checking shoes by banging them is just muscle memory now.

Now, I like to use blacklights to find them at night.

Outside social media, in the real world Trump is held to higher standards than Talibans because conventional wisdom is that he should be much more level headed given that he went to the best universities in the world and is at the POTUS whereas the Talibans can't even read and control a couple of goats.

People are taking social media rules at face value, whereas they should always ask themselves what would happen to them if they said the same things in a bar.

Would they be kicked out? If you behave online as if you would offline then there are very low odds that you'd be banned.

The report button is the equivalent of people going to the bouncer to have you removed, if he's summoned to remove you it means that you said something wrong or to the wrong demographic.
He didn't try to overthrow an election. He tried to use the same legal procedures to challenge the result that were used in 2001, and that are available to candidates in every election.

And you believe they were lies, you are saying that you are the ultimate arbiter of truth...I don't support Trump, but I am willing to accept that people have different interpretations of events. I am also willing to accept that courts should be the ultimate arbiter of truth, not social media companies. Welcome to democracy.

Btw, the irony of this is unbearable...Hilary Clinton has contested almost every election she lost. She said 2016 was rigged and challenged that result legally. She said that Obama rigged the Iowa primary. Politicians often think their opponents cheat, it is called motivated reasoning...again, that is why we have courts to decide, not you, not me.
That's what I try to do now, but the bullshit always seems to seep in somehow.
Although you are likely highly overrating how irreplaceable ISPs are (the situation is bad but I have switched between several in this one home over the years), that's fine. I'm saying that Twitter being a private business does not mean that it should be shielded from any criticism of its speech practices for the same way that ISPs are not similarly exempt.
Unrelated to the topic we're discussing, I just wanted to say that your website is super cool. Its design is so simple and appealing to my minimalist taste (and I noticed that it's open-sourced). Fantastic job!
Its pretty simple. The political parties are for whatever interest can help them win. O was masterful at social media so it was a great boom. Similarly he raised a lot more money than his opponent so his desire for election financing reform also disappeared. Now the tides have turned and the other political party is using social media more effectively. Something as simple as asking simple questions, pointing out hypocrisy and highlighting some extreme members of the other side would do it. So naturally the party in threat is against a free exchange of ideas.
