> What rhetoric is that?

It is rhetoric that tries to paint the picture that his supporters must be racist and transphobic, or at the very least tries to create a chilling effect where people are afraid to come out in his support for fear of being labelled as such.

> He questioned Harris' racial identity during the campaign.

It was an obvious jab at the identity politics of the democratic party. Besides - regardless of how stupid it is - questioning someone's racial identity does not make one a racist.

> He claimed at numerous rallies that boys would come home from school as girls without their parents knowledge.

I'm sure he means that literally and there's clearly no explanation for wanting to ban the promotion of sex-reassignment to children other than being transphobic.

Look, I don't like the man either and I'm nowhere near what he represents politically, but these attacks are ridiculously transparent to me and anyone who isn't so overjoyed to swallow them as truth they've become completely blind. It's fooling nobody but the already fooled. To everyone else it's actively off-putting.
What if this year it came out that a politician falsified business records and was criminally convicted for it? Why you'd make him President, of course!

There was certainly a fad when social media was new to get all worked up about finding out about something someone did in the past, where people were even losing their shit over something that would normally be innocuous like a photo of a teacher enjoying a beer at a party. But, I think we're kind of over it at this point. Fashion trends don't last forever.

The same way you guarantee that a person manually typing the data never makes a mistake.
Also because of the Lunar Gateway part of the plan. That pretty much just serves to waste fuel and funnel taxpayer money to the companies funding several congressmembers' election campaigns.
The US was already unstable in 2000. Once courts get involved in determining the outcome of elections, it's a sure sign that the system is no longer functioning properly.

Instability does not mean that a collapse is imminent. It means that further shocks may cause a collapse more easily than in a stable system. It makes a collapse more likely in the long term, which in this context means something like a human lifetime.
Yes so I'm saying let's change it, Johnny.
I'm not really talking about while debating. I just mean general attacks, both at rallies and in social media.
you’ve convinced nobody not already convince. all you’ve done is further the divide and hurt your party. good job.
This raises the lowest rung on the ladder, reduces the set of contracts that adults may consider or consent to, and can eliminate entire jobs and threaten entire sectors such as the old apprentice mechanic / gas station attendant and now fast food.
This attitude, your attitude, is the problem with our country today.
A tip for 10 years from now: take the picture with diffuse backlighting and you can easily blow out the background completely. For example, a sheer curtain in front of an outdoor window is just about perfect.
I’d like to learn more about all of the Hunter Biden laptop-related details that you’ve mentioned. Do you have a link to a reputable and credible source?

What happened was not an “accounting classification” issue. The jury, selected by both sides, unanimously agreed on the 34 federal felony counts because after hearing and seeing arguments, testimony, and evidence from both sides, they found it clear that this was not an “accounting classification” issue, but rather an issue of an entity exceeding legal limits on political contributions and attempting to conceal it by committing financial crimes.
any leftists that aren’t hateful are trying to leave the party and create a new one. or attempting to save the existing party. there is no non hateful democrat doing nothing

> Reform is not a serious political force in the UK. They only renamed themselves from The Brexit Party, but they remain a single-issue party that appeals to a tiny minority of voters.

In the 2024 UK general election, they got 14.3% of the vote. I don't think that's a "tiny minority". And if that's a "tiny minority", then the 12.2% of the vote Lib Dems got is an even tinier minority.

The problem that Reform has, is that 14.3% is spread too thin geographically. Reform got 5 MPs from 14.3%, Lib Dems got 72 MPs from 12.2% – because Lib Dem support is more concentrated in particular constituencies, mostly in southern England.

This is a side-effect of first-past-the-post. If the 2011 Alternative Vote referendum had succeeded, then Reform would have likely ended up with more seats in 2024; although even with alternate vote, the seats-per-vote advantage that Lib Dems have over Reform due to their greater geographic concentration would have still existed, albeit somewhat attenuated. A more fully proportional system, such as those used by the devolved legislatures of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, would have attenuated that advantage even further–although those systems are still region-based, so even they may not completely eliminate it.
Are we supposed to deal in good faith with people who believe things for which there is no evidence? Some people also believe in a flat Earth.
> Australia will probably be the first "western" country to block Tor.

The Australian way would be to "ban" tor without any particular concern for enforceability or technical feasibility. Any actual blocking would be pushed onto industry somehow, which would then proceed to half-ass it, doing the absolute minimum possible to demonstrate they are complying with regulation.

I like Australia a lot, but a lot of the time it feels like political priority is to "make it look like something is being done". No one would actually care if the blocking worked or not unless the media made a big song and dance about it.

I also wonder how much of this ban is about "punishing" X and Meta in particular - Meta for it's refusal to pay for news and X because they didn't jump to immediately remove stuff the government wanted taken down.

> What even counts as social media?

Anything the government needs more leverage over or wants to shake down for money.
Yet your rhetoric has caused two attempts at a presidents life, and likely more will come.

sorry you’re wrong.
Sales of stick on mustaches will skyrocket
All of them because now he's using those funds to help Trump.
I think if you looked separately at white GenZ men, you'd see a much higher lead for Trump. White people are a shrinking portion of the overall population.

And yes, there's a huge gap between the sexes in political leaning, and according to articles I've read, has a lot to do with young men being sexless and angry (not that this is the women's fault). Basically, GenZ men are turning into a bunch of angry incels.

And yes, college degree attainment is inversely correlated with Trump support, in general. I never said otherwise; I was just making a side point about the country being "more educated". Sure, more people these days have college degrees than 50+ years ago, but on the other hand, 50+ years ago the US didn't elect anyone as vulgar as Trump into its highest office so it doesn't seem to have helped that much.
If you’re on Romney and McCain then you’re showing your age. Look back further.
Then why do the people he hand-picked say it is? Should I ignore the words coming out of their mouths and pens? Should I ignore the words coming out of Trump's own mouth? Then what should I use to determine whether it's fascism or not?
I don't see how a foreign government or any foreign interest is worse than domestic interests (or governments).

The us is already one of the most propagandized nations on earth and our own government only benefits from this, despite ostensibly being criticized from sanitized angles.

I don't know what life is like in canada, but what i surmise from friends is that the experience is similar.
I'm very serious.

> US Government likes US Government control because it's themselves.

I know. That doesn't tell me why China controlling a social media algorithm is inherently any worse from yours or my perspective.

> They don't want an adversary to have control.

Is the "adversary" claim not undermined by them being a primary trade partner?
that's a good metric to aim for... creating a full local index for 600k lines is pretty expensive but there are a bunch of huristics which can take us pretty far

- looking at git commits
- making use of recently accesses files
- keyword search

If I set these constraints and allow for maybe around 2 LLM round trips we can get pretty far in terms of performance.
I don't have a horse in this race. I just think it's easy to find stuff online to back whatever you want to back.

do you know how many of us want the last 4 years of policy reversed? yea we want “revenge”, or rather a reversal of policies. sorry you feel attacked.
They seem like a random collection of people I’ve never heard of before.
That would make sense if there was an actual argument for the process being compromised. But there isn’t. You can rebuild it and be accused of inserting back doors. There’s no win - the whole argument is that the process is sound if a certain party wins, if that party loses, then the process is corrupt.

Notice how there’s no cries of election integrity problems for this election? Because the “right” party won.
The "fine people" and "drinking bleach" hoaxes objectively showed us what side of yesterday's election is for the large part egregiously gullible.
No idea what this means. Who is paying $20 to want to be a dem? is it a club or cult?
I think you're misreading my comment. I find the threat real and probably already in action. My key point is that hard-banning a popular resource in a country without a DPI-like firewall is just a national security theater with no effect.

Take an example from Russia - instead of banning youtube, they just make it crawl and stutter, so fully controlled rutube/dzen/etc start to seem more viable, but it's not too bad to decide to go full VPN. Non-technical people don't even realize that it happens and write it off as some youtube-related network issues.

Of course that is an awful attack on freedom, but you can get real or get rekt.
No, from yours/commenters' perspectives. What about US-governed control is functionally better for consumers?
I understand that, and I get that this study doesn’t show that 75% of ALL cases are within 7 days of a vaccination. They found that of mortality that occurred within 60 days post-vaccination, 75% happened within 7 days of a vaccination.
The secret system behind every call you make is about to change hands
The current status quo was unsustainable. Crimea was indefensible without a land bridge through the Donbass. Ukraine was attacking Crimea by cutting off its water supply. Ukraine was also being trained and armed by the US. Time was against Russia in terms of a conflict with Ukraine being on favorable terms. NATO in Ukraine meant that Crimea would be lost eventually. Control of the Donbass gives Russia control of Crimea's water supply while allowing a proper defense.

Everybody's favorite "anarchist" himself, Noam Chomsky, promoted just such an idea.

(Proving that he's not really an anarchist.)

Of course, he couched it terms of plausible deniability but anybody with the ability to read between the lines knew exactly what he was saying.

This was during the environment in which small and family-owned businesses were being destroyed (yes, in America) and people were losing their jobs as well. It happened to a number of personal friends.

There were far worse excesses in other Western nations too, not just in China. The only reason things didn't go further in the US here is because Americans have fewer vulnerabilities than citizens in other countries do in the face of this sort of oppression.

And it was all cheered on by those who believed themselves to be on the right side of the establishment at that time. It was a regular thing to see and hear people fantasizing about the idea of forced injections, online and in real life.

And we learned about all this on, yes, social media (which was heavily censored at the time too).

The legacy media outlets were not telling the truth.

All this was only three years ago.

Things are a little different now, I'm sure you will find in many cases that forgiveness is possible in light of true apologies, but there will not be a forgetting.

And these things need to be honestly discussed if we are ever to achieve anything resembling national cohesion again.
Not just stock holdings. Any investments. Except for your primary residence, if you sell it before leaving. So e.g. you're not safe just because you didn't own stock and instead created a real estate investment empire :) If you keep your primary residence and rent it out for example (presumably because you do want to come back and retire in Canada?), then capital gains will accrue from the date you leave Canada.

Fictitious sale = deemed disposition. Same thing. If you can't pay the tax from cash you have lying around you will have to actually sell some of the investments.

Now I do get that selling a business might not be as easy as selling (part of) a liquid stock. But take the real estate example again. Selling your real estate empire seems much harder than selling some of your NVDA shares to pay the tax. If you aren't prepared to sell your business though and you want to hold onto it, why would the government be inclined to believe that you really want to leave and never come back so to speak?

Trump stated his plan to lower food cost was to lower the cost of the energy inputs that he says are driving up the food costs; lower diesel cost for farmers and transportation and lower energy cost for fertilizer production.

If this will work or not, no idea. But it did play as a better soundbite than "I will hold the grocery stores who are price gouging you accountable for it" because that soundbite says "We have been letting them get away with charging you for 3 years and now that we have an election to win we promise to do something about it".
> Trump is literally a convicted rapist.

Stopping here because this is a blatant lie. He was NOT convicted of rape but instead sexual abuse. They are not the same and if you need further evidence then consult a lawyer.

Remember that disinformation the left claimed the right was spreading? guess what you’re doing now?
Not a single mention of the "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act"?

Shielding from the sun only happens when it's dark on that side of the moon. So half the month, effectively. But shielding from Earth can be constant, thanks to tidal locking. Particularly nice for really big radio telescopes.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Trump admin's primary goal of tariffs to increase domestic production?
It’s a solution that “just makes sense” only if you are ignorant of both the problems it claims to solve and the problems it creates.

It’s kinda like the DNSSEC of politics.
come back in two days and explain why you’re wrong. you’ve lost complete. you may get the house, very unlikely at this point, but that’s the only one not confirmed. dems have no recourse here, the attacks didn’t work, the hate speech didn’t work, and now you can’t accept the results.

ready for voter IDs yet?
Sorry you dont get to make up your own definition. He was impeached twice. These decisions cannot be undone or removed or acquitted, he is officially formally and forever impeached. Being impeached means being tried for crimes. He was completely tried, and therefore completely impeached. Only president to get impeached twice. And only three presidents have ever been impeached at all. Super embarassing that he is president again.

"If the House adopts the articles by a simple majority vote, the official has been impeached."

And higher income can lead to increased spending on businesses that are paying their employees more. I’m not saying it’s a silver bullet but you can poke holes in anything. The point is, one party is proposing “something” and not just posturing.

The cost of ingredients for a burger doesn’t radically change if a burger flipper gets paid more and the price of the burger isn’t going up drastically either.

Clearly companies with billion dollar market caps can also be held to higher standards because no one is going to pay more than they are required for labor. Maybe the minimum wage is a percentage of the business total profits and minimum wage at $7.25 is just the floor?

A lot of wealth is locked up in the wealthiest people which could be circulating in the economy instead of being in a Swiss bank account.

There are multiple layers, multiple solutions instead of hoping wealth trickles down. Poverty wasn’t solved under the last Trump administration as I recall nor do I expect it in the upcoming one.
HN is very left for sure.
Half the population has an IQ below 100.

On another note: Winston Churchill: "...it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time..."

But I am increasingly of a mind that Churchill may be wrong: perhaps we should re-investigate alternatives to our current form of government and possibly to democracy itself - perhaps there is something better for us b/c today:

- We know more about ourselves (e.g., the IQ note, above),

- The rules have changed (e.g.,we have diluted the requirements to be a voter), and

- we now can simulate group behaviors based on large populations of different individuals.

I was recently surprised to learn what "sortition" is. This possible enhancement might have some beneficial value in reducing corruption but was apparently rejected by the USA's founding fathers. OTOH they weren't interested in building a democracy but wanted a republic instead, which requires an educated voting class, which we no longer have thanks to our changes in suffrage.

So, in a way, the Founding Fathers set up a system where most voters had higher-than-average IQ. Succeeding generations inherited that system and, among other things, diluted voter requirements. Now we are possibly paying a price for making changes. Perhaps we're moving in the direction of a literal idiocracy.

Also, Matt Keeter has some serious skills.

I always thought his Antimony CAD program[1] was neat, and sad that it seems to have died. I've yet to figure out how to get it to run on newer versions of linux (The last time I tried was about 3 years ago, and I was just using a raspberry pi.)

You're probably thinking of this paper: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004PatRe..37.1311O/abstra...

They were running a massive neural network (by the standards back then) on a GPU years before CUDA even existed. Even funnier, they demoed it on ATI cards. But it still took until 2012 and AlexNet making heavy use of CUDA's simpler interface before the Deep Learning hype started to take off outside purely academic playgrounds.

So the insight neither came from Jensen nor the other authors mentioned above, but they were the first ones to capitalise on it.
Sure, but if they’re not pulling their weight then they’re a detriment. Have you served next to a foreign NATO soldier? I have. I wasn’t impressed. Step up your spending or gtfo.
I mean they’re making the code public and inviting external auditors. There’s literally nothing else they can do as a private company. What evidence of the integrity could possibly satisfy you?

And again, the benchmark isn’t “theoretically perfect”, because I agree this isn’t. The benchmark is “other cloud providers” and they are either lying through their teeth or categorically better.
In a way it shouldn't be tied to size either, it should be tied to results. If a social company is clearly only interested in profit to the exclusion of societal benefits then they deserve to be regulated.

The funny thing these days is that all porn is tailored to appear as far from "tame" as imaginable.

The average PornHub user's history will be full of weird incest shit at the very least, not because of any specific interest in the genre but because so much generic heterosexual porn is labeled as such. Looks really bad for you if it makes the newspaper.

So even "tame" leakage is 100x more embarrassing than it ought to be, and thus snooping on bf/husband's devices to humiliate them over their porn usage is normalized on relationship subreddits. Same goes for them plugging your email address into the password reset form to try to verify whether you have an account on any given site.

I like that now it is states that decide the abortion rules. I think that's as democratic as it gets. Besides, even Ginsburg was against the Roe vs Wade ruling. She said using privacy as the reason makes the ruling vulnerable, and she turns out to e right. Another one is that ee pulled out of the Iran Nuclear deal. Iran was contained and didn't have money to fund Houthis.
so stop, protect yourself. how far do you think you’ll get?
That's a lot of words just to say nothing of substance. If you want to make a substantive point--feel free. But I have no interest in engaging with this kind of mindless slop. And regarding the subreddit, if you don't know anything about it, you shouldn't draw any conclusions from the snarky comments you happen to see.
> Keep going though, that’s clearly a winning topic with even women voting against it

Results in Missouri, Kansas, Montana, Arizona, Ohio, Nevada either yesterday or in the last year, that voted for trump but also voted protections for it say otherwise.

National ban is on the cards now, controlling the courts, Senate and presidency and likely the house it is quite within reach. There is nothing further to say, predictions and warnings have no clearly no effect, perhaps lived experience might, or we keep blaming healthcare workers or immigrants for everything, whatever works.
No comment on the implementation, but I wonder if there's some value in just allowing parents to be able to point to this and say "No, little Fred, you're not allowed to have an Instagram account until you're 16. It's the actual rule."
