They’ve all become hyper polarized in the last ~10 years. Go find some footage of BBC or CNN or MSNBC from pre-2010. You might be a bit shocked how, well, boring it all is.

I apologize for my American-centric view of politics, but something fundamentally changed about the world around the time Trump, Bernie, etc were making waves in 2015-2016 in US politics. It’s almost like we entered a parallel reality. Shortly after the media has gone extremist, not only in the US but globally.
OFF: But octonion just made a post, that I (and other people?) can see? I don't understand.

OFF2: I wish for a functionality that could make my own post gray/collapsed, if it is offtopic. I must risk points, and being actually banned (or just don't be offtopic) this way.

edit: I am just asking for some explanation about how things work, e.g. why GP said "you are shadowbanned", and what's happening, really.
Yep; the AP cited similar motivations (https://apnews.com/article/archive-race-and-ethnicity-910566...). I think CJR's is a better explanation; that many Black folks in the US have no idea which country their ancestors came from, and thus don't have the Irish / Chinese / German / etc. identifiers of origin many Americans honor and celebrate.
Perhaps a more important factor is that university administrators are being constantly bombarded with various demands, requests, accusations, and threats regarding diversity issues. By students, pundits, even accrediting organizations.

A law school dean once told to me that for years the ABA was constantly demanding, privately, that they increase the number of black students. The problem (as I saw it, we didn't discuss it much) is that this university had a reputation for being libertarian, which in the broader political climate translated (especially back then) as conservative, which translated as potentially hostile to black students. There were black students, but they deliberately chose the school for its somewhat unique curriculum which in many respects absolutely did lean libertarian. Most black students, like most students generally, wouldn't have strong enough preferences to override such a negative impression.

The woke crowd is far more vocal and fervent, and they're that way because they know that, at least in the short-term, being forceful can be effective, at least superficially. People with more reasonable sentiments and preferences, OTOH, aren't eager to put themselves in harm's way to defend those who are being targeted.

For all I know, the ABA was applying pressure because the ABA was being pressured by some other interest groups. And perhaps the ABA pulled their punches, keeping everything on the down-low, precisely because they believed the demands were less than reasonable. As the saying goes, "shit rolls down hill."
I switched from the sculpt to the Logitech and I'm pretty happy with that choice. It helps that I also have the ergo max trackball and they both run on the same transceiver.

Good old formmail! Takes me back to my middle school web master days. I spent a lot of time in frontpage and invested much time in figuring out how to make my own custom animated gifs.
I don’t think there is much doubt that traditional media companies put profits over reporting and facts. It is difficult to critique war when defense contractors buy up much of your ad space. Likewise, it is difficult to critique big pharma when pharmaceutical companies buy up many of your ads, etc.

The problem with the proposal to make the news publicly funded is that that just replaces one set of incentives with another. If governments dictate when media outlets receive funding and how much, then it is unlikely that said media companies will be overly critical of the government. This same kind of thing has started to creep into other parts of society like the public education system where standardized test scores are often considered more important than a well-rounded education.

Personally, this is why I like the business model of places like Substack where you can find specific journalists you trust to actually hold people in power accountable and can support them directly. Finding truly unbiased information these days is not easy.

Speaking of Substack, I highly recommend this three part series about conflicts of interest and media companies:

Ah, Thanks, I actually looked at the chip earlier.

The datasheet says it's programmed with "SWDIO" + "SWCLK" pins. Those names normally refer to ARM's SWD standard. If - and that's a big if - they actually implemented proper SWD, the lower layer protocols would be known and it might be possible to get OpenOCD to work to program the chip.

(Debugging is a much harder question though…)
One of the things that strikes me about this story is that it took six grand juries to indict Woolley. Now, I don’t know what the grand jury selection is like in Texas, but I’ve served on a grand jury in Oregon. And I gotta tell you, it is not hard to get a grand jury to indict. We were basically a rubber stamp, confirming that it was reasonably possible that the DA had a case.

For five grand juries to refuse to indict, there must have been a serious lack of evidence.
There are 4 buttons in the center columns that have no use on the default layer — they are simply bound to 1, 2, 3, and 4. You could use two of them for dedicated volume keys and one of them for print screen.

They do also offer a base Advantage 360 that is wired and the two pieces are connected with a usb-c cable. The downside is it does not have ZMK, but their own smartset firmware.

My own anecdote: I took my most recent gig because of them self-hosting their Git forge and preferring open-source and indie tools to the ones put out by megacorporations.

I'd see lock-in to GitHub as red flag instead of an “industry standard” requiring its employees to give away data to Microsoft, and making all of their code feed the Copilot machine.
No mention of tactile or auditory feedback for the writer, which I suspect matters. A space between sentences is read differently, with a slight pause, compared to spaces between words. Writers should write that way too, and double spacing would support that by providing subtle auditory and tactile cues, full stop.
In the future we'll determine that the Pleiades[0] cluster has contained enough earth material to be a functioning hot backup of our own home this whole time. ~400 light years away, Pleiades aka Messier 45 can carry us until it disperses in 250 million years.

It's likely we are the apes in comparison to our brothers in the Seven Sisters area. The suns don't set there, they just move to make room for the others.

I see this problem a lot where a powerful company has the $$$ to do SEO and basically push your search results in a way that is advantageous to them. For example, I moved to a place with black widows. Wanted to check the mortality rate. First post I find is one of those blog posts by a pest control company claiming a certain mortality rate. Search further for official resources and that number is wildly lower.

Same thing with Jerusalem bugs. Wanted to check how careful I should be (I hike at night). First post a pest control company claiming that a bite can cause a fever. Further research into trusted sources mention no such thing.

I hate what Google has become. I miss the days where the first result in Google was valuable.

Pro-tip: if the post explains something and end with ‘conclusion:’ they’re pushing a product.
Then it's a question of holding those specific journalists on Substack accountable.
Lots of papers are in death spirals regardless. The long-term strategy for many is becoming non-profits.
The people professing the need for it need to be willing to as aggressively fund journalists as much as the ardent supporters of a cause.
I don’t think you’re necessarily wrong. PBS generally has been some of the best news / reporting I’ve seen.

That said, it’s still driven by ideology — “good” being defined by someone. You can see it in the titles of their documentaries and programming.

If you go through their programming objectively and put yourselves in the mindset the opposing side it becomes rather clear. This includes things like portraying nationalism as bad or Christianity as evil (see some of their frontline documentaries)

While the bias is there. PBS is generally one of the least bias in the space, I think that’s what makes it so frustrating. A slight improvement in breadth and depth would make it amazing.

I also have to give credit to pbs for often releasing full-length interviews. I’ve really appreciated watching hours long interviews with various people about a specific topic. See “Putin files”

Er, definitely no fake weapons either, that seems like a massive unneeded risk and stress factor. Tell them that there is a drill and they're supposed to work with the red team to the same extent that someone might if being coerced with guns. They're not actually on the red team since they aren't working as trusted team members, but they are also helping the red team/not working against them. It's more like they're part of the environment and their job is to help run the simulation.

The adversary for the red team is the rest of the company that isn't being occupied, not the office that they did "occupy".
When have defense contractors ever bought ad space in national news? That seems like wasted ad dollars targeting a lot of people who aren't in the market to buy arms.
I thought you were going to say you built a tool for sharing any list of websites, although I guess that might take a little bit longer than a day. This is still cool though! Congrats on overcoming your perfectionism.
> because I am so used to single spacing, the two-spaced writing feels awkwardly spaced. I can't easily parse where sentences start and end.

That can't be common, can it? More space making it actually harder to tell where sentences end?
Somehow poor immigrant kids in NYC find time to study.
According to AllSides, AP Politics is definitely sided[0], but it doesn't affect the AP outside of the politics section[1]. A lot better than nothing, especially since anyone more centrist would not publish anywhere near the volume of stories.

This. The main goal of news organizations may involve profit motivators, but ultimately they want to be able to influence the population.
Whether I 2-space or not, the more important thing is, I would never try to tell you what to do over something so trivial.

Whichever way I prefer to write, or read, it doesn't make enough difference as a reader to justify even mentioning it, let alone screeding about it.

Anyone writing, complaining, even merely picking a side out loud and trying to defend one side in forums like this, are all automatically wrong because of that, regardless which side, regardless what their arguments are.

The far worse crime than being in the wrong about double spacing, is feeling that you even have any valid place trying to dictate something like that to anyone else.

It's not like the Oxford Comma. ;)
PD is pretty popular and also has the distinction of being first-of-its-kind in many respects, so a major UX overhaul would automatically attract approval. Also the front page on HN is a lot less 'competitive' on the weekends.
Nothing, because also PostCSS is a specific program, while there’s a ton of ways to compile SCSS… Ruby, node-js, built-in compiler in the IDE, GUI frontends, etc.
The only anti-bot thing I see is the confirmation after you submit a form, which seems to be just clicking a button. Having run some ecom sites with contact forms before, I'm skeptical that's enough. Do you have some plans to improve the anti-bot measures?
Honestly, I've gotten promoted ads on Twitter for Lockheed-Martin and Boeing's military hardware. No idea why, they must be targeting fairly broadly.

They definitely advertise in all sorts of media, especially stuff heavily read in Washington. https://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/20/us/nation-challenged-sale...

> James Fetig, a Lockheed spokesman, said that Lockheed resumed running print ads for its own Joint Strike Fighter model in The Washington Post and trade publications on Monday, and only after it saw that Boeing was pressing ahead with radio and print ads.
> Had you provided links that showed that kids in poverty have less time to study than their rich counterparts by some non-trivial margin, that'd be relevant, but all of your links just point out other places in poor kids lives that they are disadvantaged (less parental supervision, less childhood vocabulary, less childhood free social time, etc.), which are all definitely problems, but I fail to see where college administrators can use those to inform admissions in any meaningfully objective way.

If you can’t see how a leads to b, there are no words I can write here to convince you of anything, about anything.

I can’t make connections for you, you need to figure this out for yourself, which is why I never expected you to do anything but stick to your “let’s have an Internet argument about an obvious fact” strategy.

Seattle is definitely out of the norm. Even Northgate, which doesn't have sidewalks in places, has roundabouts on the collectors to discourage speeding. I grew up in a poverty-level suburb and you were walking miles away on cramped sidewalks even to get to a grocery store. When I grew up cars couldn't accelerate that quickly so it wasn't that scary, but these days cars can travel at > 60 mph on collector roads between lights.

Glad to hear you're happy overall, and I want to add that we're working to address the things you mentioned. We also have paid 24/7 support with response and uptime SLAs: https://render.com/pricing#support

I'm surprised to hear about the service dying once a week: in my experience this is typically an application issue. Happy to help debug if you'd like to shoot me an email.
I’ve definitely seen the inverse to be true.
Very consistent with Madison's thinking. The U.S. eventual became less fractionated, and fell into large parties, but different unions, for quite different jobs, might have more persistent differences.

> it's ok, everyone else is down too and we have no idea when it will be back.

AWS has never gone down across all regions at once. So we can do something about going down. You build the system to be multi-region and be able to evacuate traffic from one region to another, so when us-east-1 goes down again, you simply route around the damage and use resources in us-west2 until us-east-1 comes back up. People don't appreciate how much backend engineering goes into keeping something like Twitter up at all times.

Put it another way. Little guys go down when us-east-1 goes down. The big boys stay up no matter what.
This is the mindset all young people should have. One works for what one owns. It doesn’t matter how ‘hard’ the times are. We are Americans: we “beat the odds”, just like we did from the start.
> Olympic, which has stabilizers and a sight

The first time I saw that killed any interest I might have had in 'serious' archery (I was into it as a kid). It's like watching a weightlifter use an exercise machine.
I learned about two-spacing only in my 20s, initially thinking that it's interesting but not very useful. Now it just looks like a cute topic to argue about and to have a strong opinion on, or to speculate about conspiring two-spacers, while being generally harmless. Unlike tabs or inferior text editors. As if all the important issues are solved, tabs are eradicated, and it's left to argue about the number of spaces.
This is an issue only the state can prevent. This should be treated like robbing a bank, wire fraud, or any other such crime.

A browser add on won’t end this, jail time might.
Sometimes, when things don't make sense it's cause no one in the room has any idea what to do.

They don't have the time, skills, resources or experience to produce a good outcome. And so whatever they do produces either no outcomes or creates more issues.

There are only two know strategies for such scenarios

1. Find a simpler problem - refocus everyone on something simple, within their abilities to solve so that atleast outcomes are produced how ever simple they maybe.

2. Exit the room and disconnect from the people trapped in there (cuz they want to pull as many ppl into the trap hoping it will solve the prob)
That my employer continues to pay me is proof that my work is of sufficient quality. Perhaps if I were more passionate, the quality of my work would improve and I would get paid more. But if I'm happy with my salary, none of this matters.

The movie "Dersu Uzala" from Kurosawa speaks of harsh winters. You do need a real roof, and to stop providing details about family etc. that could be compromising later.
It's hardly just the media that's seen a change of tone; go look at a Presidential debate from 20-30 years ago. Look at how Bush and Reagan debated the issue of illegal immigration in 1980; it's a short clip, but it feels totally foreign these days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixi9_cciy8w

Much appreciated. I'm sure we can do better on builds; stay tuned.

Thanks for sharing. Thats indeed broken. I see people complain about Linux breaking on updates (not just about pop but almost about every distro), I was wondering what it means for the OS to actually break.
Three theories,

One, your ad profile is similar to people who may be in positions to make decisions about weapon spending.

Two, maybe the "look at this cool tech" ads are meant to attract talent to build them, not people to buy them.

Three they cast a wide net to influence voting decisions of Americans in regards to military spending.
Cynical me thinks the ad spending is not specially for viewers, but rather to gain favor and influence on coverage, especially when it comes to justification for conflict.
I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure and adding additional protection features as necessary.
Now make this but a smart watch, and use the small screen as another way to access features. The current smart watches are either too complicated trying to add all features of a regular phone, or need a phone to be paired with. I thought this wearable tech would go in the direction away from smart phones like this one.
The U.S. Libertarian Party does a better job of representing libertarian values in general than the two major parties, but the Libertarian Party platform does not encompass all of libertarianism, just like how there are conservatives who disagree with parts of the Republican Party platform and liberals who disagree with parts of the Democratic Party platform.

Since the first-past-the-post voting system used in most U.S. states makes it difficult for third parties to gain traction, most politicians who prioritize winning elections run under one of the two major parties. A libertarian candidate who focuses on reducing taxes is more likely to become elected on the Republican ticket than the Libertarian ticket. A libertarian candidate who prioritizes legalizing marijuana will stand a better chance on the Democratic ticket than the Libertarian ticket. The goal is to push for changes that would advance the libertarian agenda on specific issues while maintaining the status quo party line on other issues, since it is easier to enact targeted changes than to fight on all fronts. Political candidates who choose to be affiliated with the Libertarian Party need to be sufficiently radical to reject the two dominant platforms that are much more likely to win them elections.

Voters know that third parties including the Libertarian Party are disadvantaged in U.S. elections, and in races that Libertarian Party candidates are certain to lose or do not participate in, many libertarian voters select the candidate from one of the two major parties that they believe would do the best job advancing or preserving the parts of the libertarian philosophy that they prioritize. This is the most effective short-term voting strategy when voter prefers one of the major party candidates more than the others. In the long term, libertarians in the U.S. support ranked choice voting and other reforms that would empower third parties like the Libertarian Party. If the Libertarian Party does manage to gain traction, its platform would adapt to become more moderate, mainstream, and pluralistic to accommodate its larger voter base and encompass more of the libertarian philosophy.

There aren't many surveys that focus on libertarians, but this 2014 one from the Pew Research Center shows that self-described libertarians tend to be more diverse and less radical than you perceive them to be:
