The founders idealized the Roman Republic and sought to create a system where the central government would never have the power to seize control as Julius Caesar did.

But I don’t think turning out to the streets with AR-15s is an appropriate response to the government forming an ineffective propaganda office (ministry of truth). We’ve seen the awful cost of civil war both here at home in 1861-65 and recently in countries such as Syria and Libya. Violent revolution should be the absolute last resort especially in a world where total war is practiced and not the relatively civilized and small-scale warfare of the American revolution or the 1688 English Revolution.

In practice, the US government has committed atrocities throughout history against citizens and the 2A did little to help (genocide of native Americans, discrimination against Germans in ww1, Japanese internment in ww2, Jim Crow and slavery, the civil war itself where armed citizens just joined whatever side they lived on, etc.)

> Huge tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy without cutting services would be the first thing I'd ding his administration on.

Agreed. The lack of accompanying service cuts really kept this from being as effective as it could have been.

> Abandoning Puerto Rico after a devastating Hurricane.

Yea, that was really bad.

> Engaging in a trade war with China without an apparent exit strategy.

I was actually pretty happy with how that went. A lot of progress was made, including stopping China from being able to abuse our own postal service to undercut local vendors on shipping. Before Covid hit, I was most looking forward to seeing continued progress there.

> Sending bad medical advice and politicizing response to a national healthcare crisis with COVID-19.

I'm not going to go deep into this, but suffice it to say it was an election year and everything was politicized by everyone.

Everything below here is just maintaining the status quo. I wouldn't call any of these Trump specific.

> Not stopping the family separation at the southern border.

This is admittedly horrifying, however, the amount of people coming over the border without any identification combined with the potential for trafficking makes it a complicated problem to solve. Not solving it was also just maintaining the status quo.

> Not offering a replacement for Obamacare as promised, instead only gutting the process to make it more expensive for people who still try to get insurance. Especially for not implementing a single payer healthcare system like the entire rest of the civilized world uses to offer much more efficient healthcare to the populace.

Agreed and disappointing. It's also an incredibly hard problem to solve without turning the entire country upside down. Dangling the carrot is easier (for both parties).

> Not fixing the Social Security deficit.

Been a problem for years that neither party is willing to make the hard decisions to correct.

I wouldn't say it's terrible but prometheus & grafana have a learning curve for sure.

It's a question of do you want a pull-based architecture (prometheus) or a push-based one (influxdb). Grafana is just a frontend that supports either, although influx also has its own frontend.
The disk you can usually replace.

Otherwise just restore the backup to a 5 year old laptop.

If you laptop server can run for 5 or 10 years, there is a good chance that during that time, you spilled coffee in the keyboard of another laptop, making it a good candidate for the new server.

Right! My point is that there are good aspects to the Effective Altruism movement, but historically they've done a disservice by also embracing some fringe stuff under the Effective Altruism banner.

Like I said in my comment, I'm hoping this blog post is a signal that they're going to start maturing the organization a bit more and hopefully distance themselves from some of the weirdness that tries to ride the coattails of the Effective Altruism movement.

Go ahead and spin up all of the AI think tank and Harry Potter fan fiction distribution under a different name, but forcing it under the Effective Altruism banner only drives away donations from people who go into this expecting an organization focused on doing charitable acts in the real world, not funding additional think tanks.
Yes please. Or when I'm driving and there are roundabouts where I'm just going straight through. Just tell me my final turn, I k is how these roundabouts work.
For whatever it's worth, HPMOR introduced me to Effective Altruism and lesswrong, etc.

Though I found it online and not from the $30K distributed, I have since as a result of being introduced to Effective Altruism there donated much more than $30K to highly effective charities and caused hundreds of other people to get into donating to highly effective charities too. I also started a company inspired by the EA concepts of working on "neglected problems" - https://80000hours.org/articles/problem-framework/#definitio...

I might be wrong, but I suspect there's a decent chance there was at least 1 person like me of the people in that $30k distribution.

Lithium batteries have an approximate 10 year shelf life under optimal conditions. Possibly less when heated consistently by a laptop running 24/7.

If your laptop is already 6-8 years old then if you want to keep the battery in as a UPS system it may be worth considering purchasing a new replacement battery and installing that (if it has not already been replaced)

Most computers will only need a small screwdriver and 10 minutes of work to swap the battery, although you will want to check youtube/ifixit for your specific model first just to make sure the battery isn't glued in or otherwise difficult to remove and replace.

This seems to be in an exploratory phase with many questions still on how to implement. I do see this as positive in general that big car makers such as GM are recognizing the benefits and willing to partner with IBM on building open source solutions.

I recently evaluated several cars for purchase and had real difficulty with all of them because of the mysterious proprietary operating systems that I know are collecting data and sending to somewhere. Cars have become Iphones on wheels which sounds great to some people, but not to me. I ultimately decided not to purchase a new car and stick with an older more analogue one until an open source modern car would be available. I might be waiting a while, but I don't think I am alone in this predicament.
I don't think it's actually just arms and equipment. It means 'well-ordered.' It's the ability to call up organize and elect leadership from the people at need, among many other things.

For example, Article I Section 8 provides Congress the power

"To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;"

It's in a similar manner that the 2nd should treat 'regulated' militias.

Yeah my first choice would be a car that doesn't have a display or lets me project what's on my phone's screen. But if manufacturers insist on some OS with a screen as an output device, and they do, having an open one would at least have the potential to stimulate innovation in available software. As it is, everything I've seem is just an afterthought or lazy attempt at a revenue stream. And it will stay that way as long as manufacturers can lock in car buyers to a proprietary closed system
The major thing is that the FAA loves to approve what someone at the FAA has already previously approved. So if you have parts of the aircraft, avionics, pilot operating manual, performance values, etc that have previously been approved by the FAA then it is much easier to get them approved again because the precedent exists that it is ok. Someone else did all the heavy-lifting to get that first approval signature.

By classifying them as the relatively rare "Powered-lift" category they have created a huge bureaucratic hurdle to overcome. You've gone from thousands of approved airframes to a handful of approved airframes. You can still work through it but there isn't a precedent for them to easily point to for fast approval.
I beg of you, for your own good, when you try to characterize someone else, and they tell you that your characterization is inaccurate, pay attention and try to do better.

No one has a "civil right" to discriminate in the United States. The default law in the United States is that discrimination is illegal. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 spells out protections against discrimination on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin.

Sexual orientation is not explicitly protected, but that does not mean you have a "civil right" to discriminate against gay people. You just... have a right to be an asshole.
You can't take a survey question about support for Roe and turn it into "some number of people who strongly disagree with Roe must believe that America is collapsing". A survey question that measured that would be worded something like "Do you agree with this statement: the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v Wade is evidence of America's collapse" (although this is pretty much a push poll question). You're extrapolating, which is another way of saying "using evidence of thing A to assert thing B, for which you have no evidence".

>What the baker was not willing to do was bake them the exact cake that they wanted, claiming that fancier cakes were artistic expression and not the same as the standard priced on their menu cakes, and that forcing them to create an art piece cake they didn't want to make was the equivalent of compelled speech

This is just semantics of a legal argument. It is not some universal truth that ordering off menu puts any additional ethical strain on someone. If the baker would make those customizations for a straight couple and not a gay couple then the civil rights of the gay couple are being infringed.

Ok, so I guess Apple Maps is the new DDG. By this I mean, every DDG related thread immediately descends into anecdotes about "Google Search is terrible, DDG is much better" that always leaves me wondering "Are you using the same Google Search I am? Because it doesn't appear you are".

Google Maps' integration with, say, various forms of public transit APIs (in paritcular) is second to none. Like, it's not even close. It's true Apple Maps is a lot better than it was but most of those improvements, in my experience, have been very US-centric, meaning the gap is much, much wider in other countries. Google Maps listings are still way better.

What I suepect is that the same people who have decided they hate Google have now let that define their opinions on Apple vs Google Maps just like they have with DDG vs Google Search.

I can only recall two current complaints I have with Google Maps:

1. I've come across a listing that claims to be a supermarket chain. It's not. It's a local market. I've filed corrections about this. A year later it still shows the wrong supermarket chain. No idea why. You can see it on street view; and

2. Maps decided to hijack the Menu tab on restaurants to use an ML pipeline from someone who really wanted to get promoted by classifying photos tagged at that location into menu items instead of, you know, just showing me the menu PDF on the website.

Oh and while I'm airing complaints, there's a standard for showing exchange rates. Google "GBP to USD" and you'l get an answer of 1.23 (as of this writing). By the standard the entire finance industry uses this should be shown to 4 decimal places. It used to up until about 6 years ago. Someone changed it. It's clearly wrong. It's annoying. And if anyone from Google reads this, please fix this for God's sake.

Unrelated to Maps but you have to try.
I haven't seen ads popping up while navigating, but I have been getting what appear to be ads in the direction read-outs, e.g. "In 500 feet, turn right at the Wendy's."

Which is, honestly, one of the least-annoying types of ads I get on a regular basis. Sometimes it's much easier to follow than a street name anyway!

My family owned a water company the whole time I grew up until my dad passed...

I personally find water to be best at what I refer to as "buoyant".

The water should be the same, subjective, temp as your body. So when you drink it, you feel only the physical properties of the water, not warmth, nor cold.

I can drink a LOT more water this way - and it helps with hydration, which is different to cooling or warming the body.

Only rarely do I like ice, but when I do ; crushed.

But body-temp water is ideal.

Some people like clicking at things.

For me, if I have the browser already open, it's control-L type a few characters enter to get to most of my usual destinations.
I do as well, I have about 10 key binds and a couple functions for using tabs, and a couple plugins for linters/language servers which I can do without.

I have in my past done quite a bit of work out on prod hosts with vim so I don't like to get too out there from stock.

everything works in vim with the exception of the server:

When I start tmux I create a window:

new-window -n "Code" 'cd ~/working; NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS=/tmp/code nvim ; bash -i'

then split the window with my file browser:

split-window -t 1.0 -h -p 20 'cd ~/working ; EDITOR="$HOME/bin/ranger-edit.sh" ; ranger ; bash -i'

ranger edit is just a command that opens a file as a tab in the server and then switches tmux panes:

FILEARGS="$@"
nvr --servername /tmp/code --remote-tab $FILEARGS ; tmux selectp -t 0

Thats about it. I guess you have to have nvr installed. Other than that, I have a pretty sparse config all around.

I do a similar thing where I set a global nvim_listen_address variable when I log in and I can use that to pipe to a different editor for things like logs and such. I don't generally want my ops work opening a bunch of tabs in my coding window but I could set it globally and use the single editor if I wanted to.
Nah, you're just making things up and haven't provided any valid evidence to justify restrictions on free speech. Stupid people have always believed stupid things since long before social media. Remember the days of forwarded hoax email chains?

Words are not harmful, unless they're a specific and credible threat or incitement to violence. People claiming otherwise are defining down "harm" to such an extent as to make the term meaningless.

Just a bit more info on free services - when we were starting out AWS were offering $10k credits a year for 2 years or $100k credits for one year. I believe we got access to this through one of our investors, but most VCs and incubator programs will be able to do this.
Netflix also tried to be more PC than PC and drove a lot of mainstream viewers away. Perhaps they thought being over the top in culture wars would be their moat? Or perhaps they were just drinking koolaid?

That’s exactly what I do. Having all the music is essentially the same as having none of the music. I buy an album a month, usually (plus more on my birthday and at Christmas), and have my iPhone set up so that the music is the 32M of least-played music, plus anything rated 3 stars that I’ve not heard in two years, 4 stars that I’ve not heard in a year and 5 stars that I’ve not heard in six months. It gives me a nice mix of fresh tracks and favorites.
I'm not sure I agree with you that this is a levelheaded take. The individual identified with 2 different groups and defers the individual's personal beliefs. It's hard to see if the reason why he/she believes in these things as a personal stance or to maintain membership within those groups.

Associating with groups, esp like these, means alignment to the groups priorities. I see this tribalism as part of what has really destroyed the modern political landscape.
