Because there were guard rails in place. Now the Supreme Court has said he can't be prosecuted for official acts and he has a VP in place who is on record as saying he wouldn't have certified an election that Trump legitimately lost.

Things have changed since 2016, go ahead bury your head in the sand about it. Don't come crying to anyone else when the leopard eats your face, though.

Some ideas I'd like to see implemented (in no particular order):

1. Eliminate anonymity by requiring real names and profile pictures attached to usernames. This humanizes users and encourages accountability, as attaching a real name can act as a natural filter for behavior.

2. Introduce a cost for downvoting to make it a more thoughtful action. This could involve a quota based on account age and karma, or my favorite option—having each downvote cost a bit of karma or an upvote on one of your own posts.

3. Discourage bot accounts by requiring a hard-to-obtain token, like a verified phone number, which is straightforward to implement and would reduce low-effort accounts.

4. Higher barrier to entry to join an online community. This doesn't parallel how communities work IRL. You need social credit to join a community.
Give that man a raise.
Trump appeals to "a lot of Americans", sure. That doesn't mean he appeals to all or even most of us.

An election result wandering from 46.8% to 51% does not indicate a huge shift in American culture in general. It just looks that way because of the flaws in our political system.
I won’t lie it’s been really fun to watch. I was so sick of all the self righteous posts they had going before the elections.
Since 1950, the US has increased CO2 output by 102%. In that same time period, China has increased by 5,600%.

Since 2005, the US has decreased carbon output by 17%, and China has increased by 93%. They emit 124% more Co2 annually than the US does.

American manufacturing is not the issue when it comes to carbon emissions, China is.
"Putin and Trump will together"

Joking?

So if Trump forces Ukraine to surrender by withdrawing aid, that is a 'working together'? That is peace?

Russia is still the main enemy, right?
As of your post, several millions of ballots have not been tallied (half of California, for example).

Thanks for the answer. I won't lie, I was half-expecting this to be something about trans issues, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

> young men feel they cannot take care of their family. They can't afford a house, primarily.

I don't think this is particularly gender-exclusive, but absolutely one of the largest problems the younger generations face. How are we going to raise a family, buy a house - hell, just live a decently comfortable life?

> Men go to college at a much lower rate than women. Because of that, those men make less than their female counterparts (who went to college).

Men feeling threatened by women who make more than them or are smarter than them seems like something that needs to be worked on individually rather than socially.

> And one of those things is the dating apps, which for many men is a terrible experience.

Well, dating apps were a terrible idea from the get-go, but hasn't dating always been a nightmare for most men for most of history? I don't disagree that there's aspects of using dating apps that could cause some self-esteem issues (for both genders, I will add again) but wouldn't that also apply to dating 20-30 years ago?
Would you use those adjectives to describe Obama? "People" certainly must have been attracted to those traits if he served two terms.
I don't see that anything went wrong.
> It's pretty clear to me that he did think about the election. That's the problem.

I disagree with your analysis. I think it's likely that Alvin Bragg is not a dumb guy. It is well known that a conviction would not prevent Trump from running for President. He also probably had a number of smart people giving him advice that this was going to do a lot to increase Trump's visibility and in general energize his base. If anything, the degree to which he considered it probably acted as a detractor, not the reason he went through with it.

I think Bragg prosecuted because of the reason that all prosecutors go after high profile cases in big regions. He knew it would bring him attention and he thought he had a good chance to win. In Alvin Bragg's world, that's enough to get you over the line.
Indeed, and now we can sit back and watch when those his voters realize, that Trump will not "fix" inflation either. In fact, if he executes on what he advertised during his campaign, it will get much worse.
That is what I really want to see next from them.
I am not on Facebook, but my wife is. According to her there are countless posts from women complaining that their husbands / boyfriends are wasting their money on sports betting.

So while it's a small percentage of GDP, it is a much larger percentage of their budget.
Since last time, he survived two impeachments for which he was dead to rights and had the SC declare he has near total immunity for official acts. With a senate majority he knows that he can now operate with total impunity. He can cancel Congressional appropriations, cancel investigations, direct prosecutions and it doesn't matter if he does that illegally and he knows it.
> Highly contentious issues absolutely should be left to the states to decide

Alas, if/when the Republican party gathers enough power to finally pass a federal abortion ban (or an indirect Fugitive Pregnancy Act) that "principle" will vanish into the memory-hole with all the rest. The minority who sincerely held the belief will be sidelined, again.

Another manifestation would be if state personnel and courts get conscripted into enforcing federal immigration policies.
Did anyone build a text-to-splat 3D generation model? Seems like it would be pretty straightforward? Should make it really easy to generate assets for video games.

EDIT: yep - https://gsgen3d.github.io/
I agree. It actually looks quite similar to the situation here in EU, with traditional leftist parties losing popularity to right-wing populists. Leftist parties should focus first and foremost on protecting worker's rights, anything else should come second. Supporting open migration policy in particular is problematic, as it drives down wages to the very workers who might want to vote leftist parties. People who are struggling financially also don't particularly enjoy hearing how they are privileged because of their gender/skin color or whatever.

The left should simply recognize that distribution of wealth and means of production is the number one factor affecting equality. It's their job to lobby for things like progressive taxation and social safety nets.
There are over 5000 comments here.

So it's odd that every time I read a (fairly rare) bait comment, it has the same username: yours.

To be clear I don't generally track or pay attention to user names, you just seem to be making a clear and persistent effort to kick off arguments in bad faith.

Then you are adapting your project to the properties of code repository. I don't see that as a benefit.

As well as local multiplayer, there's a feature to sync game updates without an internet connection. So even if people start off with different versions of a game and have no internet connection they can still play together.

I am a little disappointed they don't have anything like the DS's download play feature though.
Quid pro quo
I'm not sure in what respects you are disagreeing with me on, since I didn't mention anyone's level of education or intelligence -- I didn't mention anything about the people who interpret the statement in a benign way at all.

I added my thoughts on why people would take that statement and infer some other meaning than his literal words, since those words are said as part of a broader context. This says nothing about the people who didn't do so.

So, you starting a comment with "No" but then not addressing any point I made is confusing to me.

It’s all in the architecture. Also, biological neurons are orders of magnitude more complex than NN’s. There’s a plethora of neurotransmitters and all kinds of cellular machinery for dealing with signals (inhibitory, excitatory etc.).

Yes, in term rewriting systems the only thing that matters is the lexical structure of the "program" you're running on top of the transform rules. A simple example of running a TRS is a term of a BNF grammar, a less simple one is a symbolically expanding a term in a computer algebra system.

Ask HN: Are MPI implementations simply a wrapper on shared memory for intra-node
HPC noob here: Skimming through Open MPI implementation, it seems like it uses SM for intra-node communication? Isn't one of the points of MPI to use message queues for such communication, which differentiates it from shared memory based approaches?
I can't find anything to back that up.

That said, each link gives a CCD 64GB/s of read speed and 32GB/s of write speed. 8000MHz memory at 128 bits would get up to 128GB/s. So being stuck with one link would bottleneck badly enough to hide the effects of memory speed.
And that point is stupid. because there are audio recordings of Trump saying that he just needs 11 thousand votes.
It's an aftermarket track. I bought it because the track comes in 50 inch pieces that can be connected together. I custom built the three sleds (Circular saw, Jig Saw and Router) to use the track as support. But there isn't anything from stopping you from using the track as a long straight edge and sliding the shoe of all the tools along it. It just takes a little finesse to keep the power tool tight to the slide and not let it wobble off.

The three sleds took about 45 mins to make the first one (fiddle-fiddle-fiddle-some-more-fiddle) and then the other two took about 15 mins each.
> Do I just tell my kids to be successful, jut be like Trump?

Trump is a failed real estate tycoon, his companies went bankrupt three times; banks won't lend him money anymore because he always shafts them. He got a big inheritance and lucky that he had some charisma so could make it on TV. He is not successful role model (well, con-man maybe).
The majority of the population who were eligible to vote, and actually decided to vote, voted for Trump, yes.

That's not "America" for two reasons: "the majority of the population who were eligible to vote, and actually decided to vote" is not the same thing as "Americans", and choosing which option you prefer in a binary choice (where you have no influence on the two options) does not mean you like the choice you made.
The Democratic party indeed got entrapped by its fringe but the same thing happened to the Republican party. It's the result of the system incentives that favour such polarization.

I think what's going on is that trump supporters don't quite take him literally on the details of what he says.

Now, as to whether Trump will or won't do more damage in this term, that really depends on whether this time the people around him will stop him or whether he will choose people who will be more loyal.
> the visual hierarchy inherent to newspaper title design is an important benefit of the format

Agreed. This is also why old-school print design product catalogs often had superior presentation compared to today's web UIs for browsing hierarchically organized products. Everything is given the same visual weight and is formatted the same way.

Anyway, improving on what you did with the tooling that's easily available in 2024 but wasn't in 2009 seems like a fun challenge.
Ah yes, the well known fact that Democrats love using the mail more than Republicans.
Biggest cause is insufficient increase in supply, often due to government regulations.

Immigration can heavily increase demand, and so it can play a big part, depending on the immigration numbers. Anyone moving in needs a place to live as well.
Wild cat, house cat, lynx,...? Sure, they can. They will tell you about proportions, shape of the ears, size as compared to other objects in the picture etc.

For cat vs pumpkin they will think you are making fun of them, but it very much is explainable. Though now I am picturing a puzzle about finding orange cats in a picture of a pumpkin field.

As a man who lived outside western society for many years, I often received comments about my looks and mannerisms.

Did I cry like a baby, no. I made jokes about their looks and mannerisms. It's called banter.

There is a line that should not be crossed, but someone making one off comments on the out of the ordinary shouldn't be classed as harassment.
Democrats actively fought against voter id laws. Instead, they should have supported those laws, but with an amendment to make it easier for people to get an id.
In liberal strongholds (like SF, where I live), many conservatives will hide their political views for fear of social alienation. I've experienced this directly, when someone I'd recently met sort of sheepishly/obliquely brought up that they supported Trump. That fear is warranted: I really had less interest in developing a closer friendship with that person after learning that. It was especially jarring to me that this person was a non-white woman, and I just cannot understand how someone can support someone whose rhetoric demeans her on two axes.

I expect the same happens in conservative strongholds too, with liberals self-censoring. I know I wouldn't be comfortable openly discussing my (leftist) political views in, say, suburban Texas.
This is false. With FLOSS and reproducible builds, you can rely on the community for verification.
As someone who started their career in an office environment, then went to grunt work, and now back in an office and a remote WFH job. I don't think it would be a struggle. Would it be different? Of course... physical labor is the complete opposite of office work. Would it be harder than sitting in a chair pressing buttons?... sure. But it wouldn't be a struggle. It would be more of a struggle working with people that don't understand what context is or what nuances are.

It's not the work or the culture, it's the people. The type that would call you a vagina for wanting water on a hot day to avoid dehydration. Or the boss that will tell you "you think too much" when you come to them with an idea that increases productivity. But ya, the work or culture would be a piece of cake to navigate. For me, often time it's the idiots you have to work with that usually make a place a shit place to work.
It's hard to know what's "truly" in people's hearts, but the list of Rs who have been (re)elected while opposing Trump is short.

Someone made a wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Republicans_who_oppose...
- "For example, if we need a gigawatt of energy (10,000 people at 100 kW each) and space reactors weigh ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilopower ) 150 T/MW, we’ll need to salami 150,000 T of reactors between 1500 Starship flights..."

The example he's drawing on (NASA's Kilopower concept) is a 10-kilowatt sized reactor and it's probably a bad extrapolation to scale from that to the 1-gigawatt scale, linearly.

This is at least a 50-fold overestimate of mass. From nuclear electric propulsion literature [0], the mass budget for space electric power plants at the 15-megawatt scale optimizes to around 3 tons / megawatt. (I couldn't find serious engineering studies at the gigawatt scale).

A very large number of Americans (100 million+?) dont see Trump as a convicted criminal.

It's a reason to vote for Trump, not against him.
> At the time of writing, the largest pool (Digital Foundry) currently has less than 1/3 of the total network hashrate. See for yourself here. https://miningpoolstats.stream/bitcoin

So 2 pools control >50% of the network.

Sorry, but when two entities can collude, push some malicious code, and cause widespread network issues that may result in a fork, you’re not really decentralized.

> When I said that "Bitcoin makes it fundamentally and systemically difficult to exercise force against the network to shove in changes that the actual users of Bitcoin do not want", I didn't mean to suggest that makes it impossible, just fundamentally and systemically difficult

Practically, this doesn’t matter. Who cares if you can’t double spend bitcoin, when your country bans the sale of bitcoin. (Assuming you don’t want to intentionally break laws)

Unfortunately, the real world trumps the crypto world.

> If you think I'm the metaphorical "fool being parted from his money", I'd invite you to take the other side of the trade and profit from my willingness to buy what I see value in. That's how markets set prices, that's how we're supposed to do this.

I’m sorry, but just because you’re a fool, so to speak, does not mean that there’s value in bitcoin.
Just value in separating fools from their money (which I hear happens quite easily)

Market prices shouldn’t be set solely on the speculation of retail investors…

> Monero is a very different idea than Bitcoin

Not with regards to my argument. Implementation details don’t really matter.

> but controlled by the very wealthy, and is also used to coerce and internationally bully, in ways that Bitcoin does not allow.

I don’t think this is true. Most ways to abuse the dollar and bitcoin are similar.
Get someone to believe some falsehood, and profit off of it.

The consensus algo for bitcoin specifically avoids double spending, but other than that, what abuses are you specifically referring to?

What can be abused for fraud in USD that absolutely can not with bitcoin?

> That's not the only utility I find in it

I am genuinely curious as to what utility that is.

> By 'gaming', do you mean like 'gaming the system'

No, sorry. I meant “gambling” but I am typing on my phone, so autocorrect must’ve got me.

I understand the promise of cryptocurrency, but I also understand that, practically, current implementations don’t provide that promise.

I used to see a lot of talk about decentralized internet pre 2020, but that seems to have almost entirely faded away since speculative markets are more viral.

Not only is the technology not solving any problems it set out to solve, but the whole crypto community is infested with scams and those preying on greater fools.

The technology isn’t there and the community (at least the loudest voices) are gross.

That’s why you get such visceral outcry against crypto too, imo.

> I'm familiar with Bitcoin's historical connection with scammers and bad actors

Way to downplay it. I’ve never seen another technology be used solely for scams the way crypto markets have.
But, you can still pair most types of extra controllers to it (including a set of Joycons), and the eShop is aware of games the few games that can only be played on a tv and warns of incompatibility.
Sure, and that doesn't change the truth value of whether or not the 20 million extra votes the dems got in 2020 were real or not.
Selling to other people (cheaper store credit),

selling subscriptions that can be bought with play store credit (youtube music, premium, etc.),

and most notably you can donate it directly to a streamer on youtube, or a channel membership.

Multiply by some depreciation factor and voila its still a lot of money in a developing country.
I feel like that's a mis-reading of the situation here. Yes, there was cultural friction (Russian ATC vs International norms). Yes, these guys were pushing the envelope of operating conditions. That all influenced the creation of this situation. But when push came to shove none of that actually made them crash. Blindly going around is something any IFR pilot can do and they had two pilots. If either one person had just flown the damn plane they wouldn't have wound up in the drink. Trying to incessantly push buttons and turn knobs to make the plane track some imaginary line thorough the sky that procedure said they should follow is what killed them. They didn't run out of flying talent. They ran out of button pushing talent.

Or, of course they could have fully committed to procedure and a) gone home b) gone to their alt airport. But that's kind of uninteresting because if they didn't crash the next guys flying an A320 in on a foggy early morning could have repeated the same mistakes.

> Thanks for the party line, backed by the usual flaggers

The previous post was wildly conflating different things, I think is a real disservice to the actual events that happened.

I think there are systemic issues with the current structure of community governance, but having the events which show that conflated with completely unrelated work makes it more difficult to address these issues, as now there is misinformation floating around and criticism can be dismissed as being uninformed.
