Maybe you’re right. I just assumed that people producing and selling illegal drugs dedicated most of their time in solving problems which wouldn’t exist in a legal environment.

> The storage, handling and processing are separate skills that take awhile to learn.

Right, I would assume the most important skill here would be doing all of this without being detected by the police. E.g. you might loss X% of you stash due to spoilage once in a while but you’d still come out ahead over someone who takes much more care over his product but get’s caught.
Being realistic: if your life hangs by the thread of twitter moderation, you should either run and hide, or get your affairs in order. If they really want you dead, even the best possible twitter moderation won't keep you safe. This whole circumstance of people wanting you dead is not twitters fault and there is very little twitter could do to protect you even if their moderation was perfect.
As far as I know, eth.link had never any official status (I could be wrong). Users have been adviced to use alternative web fronts for some time now. What eth.link did or did not do was Virgil's side project.
I am sorry for the responses I am seeing on HN. People with cushy lives who've likely never faced similar danger seem to just not really get it.

I will say that your framing is one that most Westerners will have trouble taking seriously.

It might go over better to document known cases where this pattern occurred and show the similarities. Walk people through it like they are five, so to speak.

I know it's hard to do that kind of objective writing when you are feeling so threatened due to genuine threats, but in my experience that approach works better.

I know you didn't ask for advice. I apologize for my bad habit of trying to be helpful in the only way I know how.

I hope something improves soon.
I'm like that too. I don't think I could actually become a 'real' expert at something that tiny. Way too boring.

I think of myself as an expert at software development. I have broad knowledge I can apply towards lots of 'problems'. I have a past of Linux and network administration which has always helped with bridging the gap of talking to and building for our actual admins and nowadays interfacing with SREs and knowing enough about k8s, I know how to read and diagnose error messages from tools and libraries and stacks I have never seen or built stuff in etc. I can write software in many a language you throw at me though I have ones I use regularly and actually know stuff about. I won't jump on building you a highly optimized trading platform using only Java primitive types as an 'expert' in that might because I'd find that very tedious and boring. Reading about it is very fun though!

Becoming an expert at just one thing in software to me sounds like being a carpenter and all you do every single day is to build walls. Nothing else (i.e. be a framer) or doing dry wall. Sure I'd probably get super fast and efficient at it. But it's gonna be boring as hell. I'd rather learn how to do many if not most of the jobs needed to build a wall, finish a basement, build a shed and roof it etc.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I scratch my itch by just doing the bits of everything I find interesting to some degree. Some I go into more deeply because they are interesting to me for a longer period of time. Others get boring fast and it's fine not to become an 'expert' in. Breadth first search for interesting stuff. If I did depth first I'd only get like 3 things into my lifetime and never know what I might have missed somewhere else.
I said silly, not stupid. No insult implied -- we all sometimes ask "wrong" questions.

Clinton actually was the better choice; in fact, technically one of the most qualified candidates in history (trained lawyer, 8 years in the white house next to the president, a stint as US senator and then as secretary of state).

Versus a reality teevee "billionaire" with a long track record of (likely) criminal behavior and clear narcissistic tendencies.

It was a popularity contest and Mrs. Clinton, whilst intelligent and experienced, lacks the charisma of her husband and has had decades of coordinated conditioning of hate.

Hell, I voted for her and resented her for being the only choice (but could safely assume she'd at least hold to the status quo). I felt like she thought she was entitled to the office....

> rural voters have suffered economic devastation from government policies

I challenge that -- re: the government. They have been decimated but by big business that moved their jobs offshore. Anything the government did to allow that was influenced by same big business that effectively controls the government.

And that quiet part out loud? I see plenty of evidence to support that as a theme (and why I asked about your faith).

We are not rational actors, we are emotional responders (yes, there are exceptions but it still holds). Gods, Guns, and Gays are mainstays of political messaging to instill fear and anger.

Just look at the anti-trans stuff happening now: fear baiting. The party of small government wants to pass laws against people having control over their own bodies. As a nod to the concerns in that realm, I recognize and agree that athletic competition should be able to decide if/how they want to allow competition with transitioned people.

One last thought for this pass: I encountered a Trump supporter who declared she hoped Trump would "burn Washington to the ground". I assume she's not alone in that, and that frustration is understandable.

But.... then you're left with nothing and need to rebuild and no thought is given to what should rise up to replace it. Hating government is stupid, as "government" is inevitable in society and as bad as it is today there's plenty of ways to make it worse (e.g., a Kleptocratic Mafia State like Russia (whose head Mr. Trump appears to be unduly devoted to)).
Sure, but your complaint is that it's punishing the poor.

The reason we need to properly price water isn't to increase costs for municipal use. Those rates can stay the same, or even be reduced.

The problem is that the agricultural sector is paying a fraction of the prices that municipalities pay -- or in some cases they are paying nothing at all.
I have worked for small companies that shared virtually everything. It did not go well when senior people found out their bosses where making n times their salary, among other stuff. The lesson is that you should only share what you can afford to share. If you do share stuff, share it async instead of spamming meetings.
Defamation is a civil matter and harassment is civil or criminal depending where you live. You'd have better luck going through the police or courts. People deal with similar harassment or misinformation campaigns all the time. It isn't Twitter's job to step in unless you can point to some clear violation of their ToS.
My Steam Deck should arrive in the next few weeks and once I use it a little I'm planning on selling (or donating, it's 7+ years old) my gaming PC. It's a tower case that takes up a lot of room under my desk, only serves one purpose and gets used a few hours a week. I've got a list of 20+ games I've been wanting to play but just didn't want to be stuck in front of the same monitors I use for work (I'm remote). I wonder if the Steam Deck and devices like it will change how (or more specifically where) people play PC games in the next few years.
I don't think they were trying to say Arizona is the alternative California people would move to. I think they were saying it's the state that's going to feel the effects of prolonged drought first, because they have less access to seawater to desalinate and fewer resources to try and buy what little water is left compared to California.
To quote my favourite poet, Tomas Transtromer, from his poem "The Blue House"

------

"Thank you for this life! Still, I miss the alternatives. The sketches, all of them, want to become real."

"Without really knowing it, we divine. Our life has a sister ship, following quite a different route".
I’ve had this happen with an Amazon vendor drop shipping another Amazon product. They were able to do this because the original product wasn’t listed in the correct department and couldn’t be found easily.
Still no. Many problems require manual memory management of which custom allocators aid a lot with. Odin has extensive support for custom allocators and many other things.

RAII may not even make sense within the type system of a language too. Languages with RAII (C++, D, Ada, Rust (through Drop), and Vala) all have higher level constructs such as methods, and many have automatic memory management too (Rust's is automatic but at compile time).

First let's take C++ as an example of a RAII language, RAII has numerous flaws to it:

* In practice (but not necessarily) couples allocation/initialization together meaning that allocations are rarely bulked together and are scope-governed (which can be very poor with performance). (And I know placement `new` exists, but that isn't implicit RAII any more and doesn't solve any of the other problems)

* C++ originally only had copy constructors which usually involved loads of implicit allocations everywhere. This lead to copy-elision optimizations and the introduction of move/ownership semantics as a way to minimize these issues.

* RAII is very implicit to the reader that it is even happening, meaning you cannot just read the code and know what is happening.

* Ctors and dtors usually have to assume to never fail, or require exceptions to handle the failure cases. And not everyone wants, or can even have, software exceptions.

In sum, adding RAII is not a minor thing and to make it even useful without too many flaws requires loads of extra things on top. It's not a simple construct.

I also never said anything about memory safety in my comment. You can have memory safety and manual memory management. The question is what level of safety and in what form. Odin has pretty much all the general memory safety features (bounds checking, Maybe types, distinct types, no pointer arithmetic, default to slices, virtual memory protections, and many more). What Odin does not offer is ownership semantics and lifetime semantics, which is an entire discussion itself which I won't talk about in this already long comment.
We should just ban police raids full stop. So it becomes a siege, so what? Arrest them on the street. If they have hostages, give them whatever they want, and then arrest them on the street.

Police won't rush into a classroom, but they'll throw a concussion grenade into a baby's crib.
This is a kind of look behind the curtain that we rarely get from large software developers. Users are often told by someone down the chain in support it works or doesn't and no explanation why. I find this very fascinating and as a saas developer that makes an app that has to work with external hardware that I often don't have to test on very encouraging. Sometimes, there's no fix and it's not my fault.
So... let them use up the water so that it's affordable to stop them from using up the water?
It’s not at all obvious to me that the economy of Rome in 1st century A.D. would have been that much more complex than that of Byzantium in 11-12th centuries.

Is there any evidence showing this?

I don’t see why the argument “We aren’t the worst offenders by a long stretch” would ever imply “we shouldn’t be prosecuted”

I agree they should target the other groups, but I also don’t see why they shouldn’t target people using precious water just to have a green lawn in a place where lawn grass can’t really survive without watering.
Just as an FYI. The audible drm is broken (aax & aaxc), ffmpeg can decrypt your books.
> I am and forever will be a fan of the scheme (and now clojure) convention of saying foo->bar to say foo to bar. I just think that's swell.

In his book—Lisp in Small Pieces—Christian Quienec suggests using a reversed arrow (ie. bar<-foo) so the direction of the arrow agrees with the evaluation order in a function composition. eg. (foo<-bar (bar<-foo ...)), which would have otherwise been (bar->foo (foo->bar ...)).
The one thing I'm aware of is Brave's Goggles project: https://search.brave.com/help/goggles - it basically allows you to set up your own ranking algorithm with a specific syntax (it links to Github repo and, there, to a white paper).

I haven't seen more attempts at similar things, which doesn't mean they don't exist though. (There were mentions of a similar feature being added when Elon Musk was about to buy Twitter, but just gossips)
Prices for municipal use don't need to be raised. Municipal use isn't significant anyway, no matter if you're rich or poor.

Prices need to be increased (or, in some cases need to exist) for agricultural use.
Would also be wonderful if they could use a halfway modern CPU so the monitor didn't take 30 seconds to wake up. My CRG9 takes long enough that my macbook will fall asleep again from the password prompt as I'm waiting for the monitor to light up, if I don't keep hitting keys.
Raising tiered rates enough, intuitively, is effectively the same as a cap.

Yes, it's absurd to think about charging ex. $50k a gallon for gallons over 10k, but that's basically a cap. No one has the money.

(But yes, I'd say we should implement caps rather than being ridiculous)
Genuinely interested, because I hate Amazon also but spend much of my online shopping dollars with them, what makes Walmart preferable to Amazon for your family?
I think we need fuzzers for more uses than file formats, like method fuzzing and in that case garbage data just doesn't work.
Imagine two papers of equal scientific merit: equally strong or weak evidence, equally rigorous or sloppy reasoning, etc. One of them finds that certain races are genetically inferior. One of them finds that democratic countries have stronger economies.

Which is going to have an easier time getting to publication?

If publication is in the Nazi Journal of Nazi Naziness, the first one will be easier to get published. If for whatever reason you're reading journals there, the second of those papers is the one you should expect to be unusually strong.

If publication is in Nature, they probably don't have a lot of Nazis on their editorial team. If that paper got published there, then probably something about it is unusually good somehow despite the unpleasant conclusion.

Caveats:

1. With a conclusion as horrifying as the one in your original question, though, I think it's fair to reason as follows: Even if the paper gave tremendously strong evidence for genetic differences between races, there's no way any sane editor would publish a paper that says the "... and should be culled" bit. Therefore, this paper was almost certainly railroaded through to publication by a crazy editor. Therefore, the fact that it made it is not evidence that anything about it is any good.

2. It's OK for your expectations of a paper's merits to be affected by how plausible you find its conclusions before you read it. Many "socially undesirable" ideas are that way at least partly because most people find them highly implausible, and if most people do then there's a good chance you do too, and if you do then it's fine for that to lower your expectations for the paper.
> The anti-k8s crowd always talks as though the only reason anyone would choose k8s is that they're brainwashed by the hype

Maybe, but the pro-k8s camp always assumes everyone is building microservices or web services that need to scale.
This is for example an incentive for tenured professors in Spain to do research: if you get (Maths here) 5 JCR papers in 6 years of which (this is one of the criteria, there are more) three are in the top tercile, then you get a bonus of 120€/month from that point on (this can be obtained only every 6 years).

That has been a good incentive to date (I insist, this is maths and there are very few possibilities for cheating in my field, but of course there are instances), as I see it, because this way you incentivate academic professors to really do research (otherwise one can have a truly leisurely life in Spanish public universities once one gets tenure, without any repercussions).
What a great and thoughtful response. I really believe too many people — some very ambitious and successful — are being driven by unexamined pathology. I've seen too many examples of people who achieve their goals in terms of money or career or prestige or knowledge and remain miserable because they never took the time to ask themselves these questions.

I’ll admit it’s not clear to me as an outsider to this conflict whether there is clear misinformation or whether this is a matter of political perspective (not because I’m sympathetic to what’s happened in Pakistan, rather because of they style in which you communicated in the post). It is only through discussing this here that I think the tractable request to just remove misinformation is becoming clear. The whole thing about comedy accounts is distracting since parody is allowed, as you know. So I was left confused wether there is factual misinformation, or just a gravely damaging narrative being painted.

If I may, it might help for you to clearly lead with the factually incorrect things being said about you and then dive into supporting evidence to back the misinformation claim.

Still, part of my comment was a serious reminder that Twitter is not a a real authority even if they pretend to be one in fair-weather and if your life is credibly in danger you should seek people and organizations who can actually help you protect it. I truly hope this site can help you find the needed connections.
This goes both ways. Numerous people (companies?) have setup arbitrage businesses. They post products on Amazon at a markup over Walmart and vice-versa. They leverage the APIs to dynamically adjust their prices based on how the prices move on each store. It technically isn't a rip-off, when you think about it. They are taking advantage of people not searching for the best deal. You get what you ordered, they make money from scouting prices and putting at a price you are willing to pay for said product (I assume otherwise you wouldn't order).

Don't get me wrong, when this happens, I get that feeling of rip off, but the reality is, I didn't price shop. And someone did some work to get it to show up for me where I was looking.

it depends on where it is on the fretboard.

the higher you go in frequency, the physical distance between each interval on the fretboard becomes smaller. so if a +/- 5 cent adjustment is 0.5 mm at the first “fret” after the nut, it will be something like be 0.1 mm when you are at the 7th “fret” location (i.e where the interval of perfect fifth, relative to the open string, is played).
I had a very strange monitor bug a few years ago. Dwarf fortress and a weird linux display mode drove my monitor to display a freeze frame of what was going on during the bug at about half opacity with a bit more of a glitchy feel.

It stayed after reboot, mode changes, OS changes, retriggers of the bug etc. etc. etc. to the point where it did not make sense at all how the pseudoimage stayed past power cycles and everything else I could imagine. I briefly, and quite seriously, questioned my sanity trying to figure out what was going on.

Eventually it just went away. Some firmware bug got an image stuck in memory or something, but man it was weird.
There's always the proposition system. It costs several million dollars to hire signature collectors to get a proposition on the ballot. Californians could vote on it via direct democracy.

Frankly I'm astounded some of the municipal water companies or development-oriented industries haven't banded together to make this happen.
That does sound like a lot of trouble. Yeah, "starchy" does describe my experience of them.

Why would you expect Cloudflare to be responsible for policing the internet instead of law enforcement and the government? In the same way that ICANN doesn’t enforce registered domains to that extent or twitter banning everyone who violates an individuals views? It seems like a huge loss for society to fight for individual companies that care nothing more than to make money to also feign some ethical power for the people.

Instead of pressuring the companies, pressure the government, pressure ICANN. You win too little to shutdown an image caching site. Too many logical fallacies in this article.
How do you write your garbage collectors or RC without precise manual memory management?

How do you render billions of vertices and maintain a gameplay loop under 8ms for AAA games without precise manual memory/layout management?

I have done, thanks. R has most of what you need to replicate this, and is also a widely used DS language.
I don't relate to this. It seems like there may be a lack of understanding of or alignment on the long term path if this is a problem. I'm at a very transparent fairly early stage company right now and when I see how much money we have in the bank, I think "that's great news for our roadmap and long term path to profitability or further investment", not "how can I get me more of that sweet cash".
What it is interesting is that the comment never mentions memory safety, only memory management; you just added memory safety into the discuss.

Memory safety and memory management are not equivalent concepts. As I state in another reply (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32629951), you have memory safety and manual memory management. And Odin offers numerous memory safety features as well as being designed around the power of custom allocators.
> Blacking out [...] unplug the power cable, and plug it back again

As someone with a monitor that's prone to blacking out like this (not due to Lunar) and was at one point convinced that the monitor got bricked: the key is waiting ~5 minutes before plugging the power back in. A quick unplug-plug in a hurry might not do it. You need to wait for the internal capacitors to discharge to the point where the controller gets properly reset.

I've done worked with or developed outdoor water use models for almost all water districts in the state of California.

The issues cited in the article are a direct consequence of tiered rates. Districts become disinsentivised to reduce the water use for their highest using customers because thats where they make the most revenue. They need to show water use savings in gallons, but they make far more from high using customers. Its much more cost effective (gallons of water saved/reduction in revenue) for them to target users who only irrigate in the lowest use tier because thats where they receive the least revenue per unit volume water delivered.
