That's perfectly fine.

It however does not matter for the large majority of people who use those top 100 or even top 100,000 websites or even top 1,000,000 websites, and do not have the education, skill or time to learn about all the alternatives, if there are even any. It doesn't matter for the people living under repressive regimes who want to inform themselves on foreign news sites, access foreign NGO sites, or even watch things on youtube or look and/or participate in social media. And so on...

A large part of the web is not functional without js, and just because you chose to not use that part of the web (much) doesn't invalidate that point.

So I'd politely suggest you may tone it down a little when it comes to calling "nonsense".
You have it backwards.

You are only acquitted if it is 12 to 0.

Anything less than that is a mistrial, and the state can try you again (and you sit in jail until they do.)

Didn’t used to be that way originally. It is now in nearly all jurisdictions.

In any case, for this reason and many others, the system is grossly tilted towards the prosecution in the US. The US has more prisoners per capita than any country in earth.
One example is Pavel Durov. He created VK, which became the most popular social network in Russia. It was taken over by government-aligned oligarchs. Pavel left Russia and started Telegram which became even more successful.
Since he has realized the risk of using Tesla stock to back this purchase - he has acquired investors. Investors will want returns on their investment other than "Free Speech" BS. Some of the things he is proposing will hurt Twatter financially like shutting down bots. It is those very same bots that give the impression that Twitter is influential. Hence he will either not be able to deliver his promises or he will find some excuse not to buy.
This is a great example of an actually productive, comparatively low-cost solution that we aren't willing to do as a society because of right-wing politics.
I use Amethyst and it does a great job at that. Otherwise, you'd have to pay for apps that do that.
The psycho kid waited until he was 18 and then went and bought an AR because he could. He could not have done that in most other countries. And most other countries also have psycho kids. The only downside of this is that normal kids in other countries cannot buy an AR when they turn 18.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongsberg_attack

Wikipedia gives me the Kongsberg Attack, which was only 5 people killed + 3 injured. This is much much smaller than the 18 people killed in this elementary school, + the grandmother of the suspect (who was probably shot before the whole event started).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Las_Vegas_shooting

Las Vegas shooting was 50+ people killed.

Orlando Nightclub: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_nightclub_shooting

49 people killed.

It seems like dropping down to knife/sword fights would cut deaths significantly, unless you can show me some mass-stabbing numbers close to these 50-ish sized crowds.

If we can move this debate one epsilon forward it will be through recognizing that some events have many causes that combine in complex ways.

>I do client-side in-memory caching of videos data, only.

This works only if the user does not navigate from and back to your website or refresh the page, but if they do, you make the same api calls all over again. You should set HTTP Cache-Control headers in your response from the server, so that the browser knows that it can serve that data from its cache and does not need to make those requests again. You would then probably not need the client-side in-memory cache at all.

If I interpret your statement correctly, you're basically asking, in a summarized form, this:

This is a very popular statement on the twitter and all, but I think it comes from their need to support marginalized people, which ends up requiring mental illnesses to make you more virtuous and never less.

So then you have to go around saying that serial killers are the most healthy people there can be and 100% rational. Surely this is a mistake?

Of course we have mental illnesses that describe things like this, like "antisocial personality disorder". If anything, all we need to do is invent "wants to shoot people personality disorder".
Although this article is full of false dichotomies ("far from posing threats to others, people diagnosed with schizophrenia have victimization rates 65% to 130% higher than those of the general public."), the message that we should not allow the damage done by mass shooters to extend to making us treat mentally ill people even more poorly than we already do is an important one and worth sharing.

The way fear makes us do things that increase the damage done to society by a violent attack is an old phenomenon that shows up again and again in our history. We should be careful to avoid it.

The root cause may be bullying and ostracization combined with the media contagion effect. This is a repeating pattern.

Bullying: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05/25/uvalde-texa...

The gunman in Tuesday’s elementary school massacre was a lonely 18-year-old who was bullied over a childhood speech impediment, suffered from a fraught home life and lashed out violently against peers and strangers recently and over the years, friends and relatives said

In middle school and junior high, Ramos was bullied for having a stutter and a strong lisp, friends and family said. Stephen Garcia, who considered himself Ramos’s best friend in eighth grade, said Ramos didn’t have it easy in school.

“He would get bullied hard, like bullied by a lot of people”. Ramos’s cousin Mia said she saw students mock his speech impediment when they attended middle school together. He’d brush it off in the moment, Mia said, then complain later to his grandmother that he didn’t want to go back to school.

Contagion: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mass-shootings-ar...
OK, I'm hoping for a nuanced and civil discussion, but here goes... America (where I live and was raised) does not like to parse numbers, when it comes to these things. Both "mass shootings" and "mental illness" are dividable into smaller chunks than their current definitions and need to be handled in different ways than a "winner take all" approach.

"Mental Illness" is a broad spectrum and cannot be lumped into a giant bin, and should in no way be discussed a such. Of course there are mentally ill people who should not be near guns. I don't think that's a question... well, to most. Anyone who says different is using them as a lever to get things pushed through or has no experience. This, however is not all mentally ill people. The definition is so vague as to be almost meaningless, at times. Oh, do you have a sexual deviancy like being choked?... You might, technically, have a mental illness, but since it isn't very detrimental to your well being, so long as you set boundaries, you're probably OK. Probably.

"Mass shootings" are defined by any shooting that has 4 or more victims. This does get divided, once you dig down a little further in the database, but it's all lumped under the "Mass shooting" header. This is driveby's (sp?), party shootings, drug buys, etc... not that that is better, or should be taken with a cavalier attitude. Far from it. But, if you are looking at it from a preventative stand point, it's a completely different equation. These aren't going to be legally obtained, randomized violence, caused by mental illness. These are generally crimes of poverty, means and lack of opportunity. Gun laws and access to mental health facilities aren't going to stop these, but job programs, education, birth control, manufacturing facilities, infrastructure and treatment services might.
I have been using it on an WSL/Ubuntu instance just over the last few days... for some things its pretty handy (e.g. in the context of k8s I get a more up to date version of the excellent kubectx utility via brew than apt). But for others its bit of a pain, e.g. building Python through pyenv and using OpenSSL in brew, etc.
US Population growth of around 100-120 mil from the 60s/70s onward due to primarily immigration has never been done before. No ruler who cares about their people would attempt such a thing - cultures must be joined slowly and carefully.

American culture started dying right around then. Shootings like this are a side effect. Maybe things will get better, but current trends appear to signal the opposite. I’m genuinely curious if a new “global” culture will come out of all this turmoil or the US will end up like Brazil.
He was on the original Blogger team, too. It was pretty successful until Google bought it and left it to die on the vine, as they usually do.
I don't necessarily disagree with you in general, I do think we're going to continue to see touch screens dominate, but I thought I'd point out a significant outlier to anyone who like the OP doesn't like touch screens: The Mazda 3.

On the latest Mazda 3 (2019+) it does seemingly only use the screen for info and back up camera. There's a big wheel in between the seats to move about the menus. I test drove one recently and it is very nice and intuitive.
That’s like saying food availability is a core component in the obesity epidemic. I suppose there is some truth in that, but the solution it suggests is wholly inadequate.
Sadly the only programming "language" I know is ircII and that's not exactly in demand :)
Last year I pulled an old Mac Mini out of mothballs, installed Linux on it, and started getting really frustrated with it slowing down and temporarily freezing all the time (not even a GUI, just the console, and web pages it was serving). I realized it seemed to be I/O related, and replaced the HDD with a SSD, and the problems just magically disappeared. Was shocked at the contrast; it had been so long since I'd used something on spinning rust. Even Raspberry Pis with ok-ish SD cards were more responsive.

Replacing a HDD with a SSD, as well as adding RAM, can do so much for performance, without even thinking about the CPU or GPU.
There’s a privacy nexus here as well. People seeking private medical advice and services have a shared interest with the general public in their papers and effects not being searched without a good reason.

Unfortunately some of this is difficult to restrict in the face of the third-party doctrine - and I mean the very literal fact that _someone_ can see you going somewhere in public and compile a record of it. In effect you’re restricting _their_ right to free speech if you insist that _they_ can’t talk about what they witnessed in a public space (or a record was created automatically that would suggest that those real-world events occurred).

But some might consider a lack of bodily autonomy to be forced speech or action by the government on behalf of an entity that lacks personhood. So maybe the crux of the matter here is “you can’t make me”.
Are there no Bullies in say, the United Kingdom?

The big difference between UK and USA is the number of guns we have in our country compared to theirs. We probably can't stop bullying, but we actually can do something about the number of guns in our country.

Drew has built himself a reputation of complaining loudly about stuff that most of the general public of users don't care about and generally unnecessarily increasing the burden for Open Source maintainers. In this particular case I think he has a valid point but his history is probably getting in the way of successfully getting people to see it.

The lesson here, is that if you make everyone dislike dealing with you then you'll find it very hard to get them to work with you when you need them to.
Why didn't they just give them RSUs instead of doing this super complicated risky thing?
Great clarification and proposed solution for 61A.

Why was EE16B bad? It looks like it covers some good material in terms of signals, systems, interfacing, and robotics? The labs look like fun also.

Was it too EE or controls focused - maybe a CS-focused hardware interfacing and intro robotics class would be better?
> too easily obtained, to too many citizens who have not been properly indoctrinated with a sense of civic responsibility

Banning guns is not the answer. Instilling that civic responsibility is - the benefits are astronomical.
Do we want policy decisions to be influenced by which side can produce the most emotive imagery, though?

This is just "think of the children" with more steps. For example, if you're going to highlight the scenes from inside ICUs, why not also show images of children crying when receiving their COVID jabs?
1) The travel time benefits are degressive owing to increasingly eccentric heliocentric trajectories - the changes in trajectory length get smaller and smaller as your velocity vector stops being colinear with the planet's orbit upon intercept, so you don't really save a lot of additional time. (But you get the most benefits with even small increases above Hohmann transfer speed.)

2) Intercept velocities, on the other hand, are progressive -- pretty much for the same reason, combined with Pythagoras' theorem. At one point you stop being able to aerocapture, even with exerting downward lift in Martian atmosphere to prolong the braking phase.

Owing to these two things, I'm not quite sure that propelling yourself from LEO to Mars at 15 km/s would be a good idea, unless you intend to crash into the planet.

No, I'm not willing to get derailed and bogged down into specifics that can be argued or refuted right now. Sorry if that's not your intention but it's hard to judge and it's a very common one with this subject.

I am not an expert on public policy, violence, jurisprudence, or legislature. It's not my place or responsibility to design or implement the solution to this problem.

I'm a citizen who is not willing to accept that routine events like this are an acceptable cost to pay for any freedom. There are probably a wide range of policies that could prevent this, it's up to experts to figure it out. My role is to demand that they do.
This has been eloquently addressed by Tor veteran Mike Perry:[1]

Concerns about Javascript are rooted in two avenues:

1. Fingerprinting concerns.

2. Zero-day exploits against Firefox.

The reason we feel that leaving Javascript enabled trumps these concerns
is:

1. We want enough people to actually use Tor Browser such that it
becomes less interesting that you're a Tor user. We have plenty of
academic research and mathematical proofs that tell us quite clearly
that the more people use Tor, the better the privacy, anonymity, and
traffic analysis resistance properties will become.

In fact, my personal goal is to grab the entire "Do Not Track" userbase
from Mozilla. That userbase is probably well in excess of 12.5 million
people:
http://www.techworld.com.au/article/400248/

I do not believe we can capture that userbase if we ship a
JS-disabled-by-default browser.

2. Exploitable vulnerabilities can be anywhere in the browser, not just
in the JS interpreter. We disable and/or click-to-play the known major
vectors, but the best solutions here are providing bug bounties (Mozilla
does this; we should too, if we had any money) and sandboxing systems
(Seatbelt, AppArmor, SELinux).

Ah ok, I hope someone smarter than I will too :-)
Exactly, IIRC you can do policies related to locations. It's an optional feature, you don't need to enable it and the app will overall work just fine.
It is not fair to place the blame for this epidemic of violence squarely on those suffering from mental health issues.

Mental health issues are distributed globally, but the gun violence problem is not.

People who suffer from mental health issues are tremendously more likely to be victims of violence, rather than the perpetrators. These individuals already suffer from tremendous discrimination and hardships in their lives.

Those who would place the blame in this direction while deflecting from the ease of access to firearms are acting disingenuously.

We continue to do nothing, and I wish I could say that nothing continues to happen - but Americans continue to die from this senseless violence with shocking regularity.
Oh wow. That was fast.
Wouldn't that be like really boring? I mean most of the real events (real in the sense of the more realistic possible, ignoring paintings, poems, tales, etc) are nowhere near as fun as is portraid in the media.

People die all the time in the most boring way (illnesses, accidents), battles are not that epic, no monsters or great heros, overall knowledge of the people are very shallow, etc.
Or we could take the spate of teenage psychopathic murderers and develop a plan to combat it sanely.
Bravo to you!!! Most of us have half started, unfinished projects and once more you show to all of us that we should make some time from our daily routines and finally just ship it ;-) I know that for US and other high paying countries 500$/mo is not much but for most countries it’s a very respectable amount. I’m a huge fan of Ben’s tinyprojects and reading his posts, stories like yours and other similar HN posts/comments give us courage and some of the missing determination.
Yeah I'm extra upset about this because I would have chosen TOTP if I was given the option, but only sms authentication was available for 2FA for the longest time (until it became such a big issue with account takeovers including jack's I believe that they had no choice but to change that)
