Funny how democracy works, I recall an election recently not a coup.

Government is not a monolith, this isn’t the action of one single person, but the result of tens of millions people voting for change (that you disagree with).
What about the right? Trump is a champion name caller and garnered sufficient respect to win his election after he pushed our country to the closest it ever has been to an actual coup.
We’re getting fascism installed because a bunch of chuds want to be able to say “retard” again.
That has very little if anything to do with the executive branch brazenly disregarding laws.

Is Firefox more susceptible to RCE exploits?
Wikipedia is useful for reference, but not education. Not sure whether that's intentional.
>> So the pay-per-message economic conditions that caused many Europeans, etc., to switch to WhatsApp back in the day didn't do anything in the USA.

I see this listed as the reason often but I had unlimited SMS then too. In fact I remember visiting the US in 2009 and I was charged to send AND receive an SMS which was a shock.

I think the actual reason is that communication across borders in Europe is very common and those SMS's were not included in the unlimited plans as they were messages abroad. So they were subject to fees (usually high ones). I think this is the reason it was common - especially given how common it is for students to study 'abroad' in other European countries. There were a few competing apps for this at the time (Vibr I think was another but was more call focussed) but WhatsApp won in the end.
> If the SMT components are manufactured domestically say for military purposes it's going to be spread out all over the US because politicians pork barrel contracts for their districts and states.

Or possibly politicians attracting investment to their districts for the benefit their voters. What's the alternative here, a centrally planned economy?

I mean, see, say, South Korea. Or, for a less spectacular example, see Boris Johnson's defeat in his attempts at a bit of tinpot dictatorship of his own: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(Miller)_v_The_Prime_Ministe...

Really, in democratic societies there are three levels; those where the offending politician is actually deposed, those where their unconstitutional action is blocked by the courts or by another arm of government (as with Boris), and those where _they never do the thing in the first place because they realise they can't get away with it, and there'll be unpleasant consequences for them_ (this is by far the most common, particularly in parliamentary democracies, where Dear Leader can be fired at a moment's notice). If none of these happen, then typically the democracy ends.

The US is probably unusually vulnerable to this sort of thing; it has an unusually powerful executive, and a highly politicised Supreme Court, in particular. Though, it kind of remains to be seen how far the Supreme Court will be pushed. Some or all of Trump's appointees may take the view that they got into the job to screw over minorities and aid business, but not necessarily to actually end democracy in the US. They are likely not all that beholden to him.
Women complain about the poor quality of conversations they encounter

We should do a study on that itself, because I think guys are having quality conversations, pulling teeth with an entitled beautiful woman they are prioritizing, and everyone else is waiting for the guy to lead and there is no bandwidth left! so guys spread themselves too thin to procedurally lead every new conversation after accumulating matches

while girls are particular on the matches
Brings to mind the book, "The Banality of Evil".

Seems it would be informative to many of the people posting on this thread.
Is Kagi getting better for places outside the USA? Last time I tried to use them (in Ireland) all of the results were US focused, while Google would realise that I'm in Ireland and prioritise Irish businesses/sources and so on. I needed to include the word "Ireland" in any search phrase like "curtain cleaners Dublin" or otherwise I'd get curtain cleaning companies in a Dublin somewhere else, with no Irish results until the 2nd page.

Also, there was significant latency in searching compared to Google.
You want all scientific research in the US halted, just because the term "pregnant people" bothers you? Look, I think the term is a bit cringeworthy, but ripping up the entire US scientific system over that is psychotic.
I mostly agree with you, but I have to point out something to the contrary of this part you said: "...The minute you have to discuss those things with someone else, your bandwidth decreases by orders of magnitude and now you have to put words to these things and describe them, and physically type them in or vocalize them."

Subvocalization/explicit vocalization of what you're doing actually improves your understanding of the code. Doing so may 'decrease bandwith', but improves comprehension, because it's basically inline rubber duck debugging.

It's actually easy to write code which you don't understand and cannot explain what it's doing, whether at the syntax, logic or application level. I think the analogue is to writing well; anyone can write streams of consciousness amounting to word salad garbage. But a good writer can cut things down and explain why every single thing was chosen, right down to the punctuations. This feature of writing should be even more apparent with code.

I've coded tons of things where I can get the code working in a mediocre fashion, and yet find great difficulty in try to verbally explain what I'm doing.

In contrast there's been code where I've been able to explain each step of what I'm doing before I even write anything; in those situations what generally comes out tends to be superior maintainable code, and readable too.
Yes. Not everything always applies both ways.
Thanks for sharing, great result
A simple mental exercise using analogies, might help explain why the current branch of the simulation should be backtracked asap...

- Imagine if the president allowed Jeff Bezos to reprogram the Treasury’s payment system as if it were an online shopping cart.

- Picture the president authorizing Sam Altman to treat the federal payment system maybe as a live AI experiment.

- Envision the president allowing Larry Page to run the Treasury system.

- Imagine Mark Zuckerberg not only with the power to update federal payment rules, with access to all U.S. taxpayer data. Incredible coincidence Musk runs, privately, a social networking site...

I dont include an example with Palantir...Because some of the 19 years old bros working with the Musk team, were interns at Palantir. So I am just going to assume Thiel has all the info on all US citizens now...

No concerns with conflicts of interest, no vetting, no official role because...People voted for the current president? When did voting become a
blank check?
> my key takeaway is that they should really read the room

I guarantee the pool of people who really care about those issues/are affected by them is tiny. For example, I use my MacBook daily and haven't noticed any Spotlight issues. I have an iPad too - what's wrong with it? This is coming from someone who works in tech, the average Joe isn't gonna care.

I for one am happy to see an app like this. Currently the only way to get my friends together is through a group chat, and it's always a mess.
>> For this reason we use WhatsApp for the core group chat, but there's still a ton of side-conversations and meme-ing in iMessage groups.

I don't understand why you would use two chat systems when you know one is excluding some friends? Why not just centralise on WhatsApp which you're already using? Serious question. I can understand why switching is a big ask but when you're already using the multi-platform option part of the time switching back and forth seems unnecessary and inconvenient.

Not anti Kagi, but..

Imagine Tom Cruise in a variation of Minority Report. As he enters the shopping mall, the onslaught of cognitive infiltration envelopes him. He's not there for recreation, nor to evade or investigate anything. He knows why he's there. Or, he did know, but now finds himself trying to remember as he fends off sleazy desires for strange things. He knows he doesn't need more ugg boots, the unworn pile in his closet and fact that he's never worn boots of any kind a testament to this. He knows a new car won't reignite the wonder of his youth or make the foggy shores of a moribund sea glisten with golden light. He couldn't afford it anyway. Despite a lobotomizing decade of overtime and side hustles, the red queen always stays ahead. It's those damn conversations with the pariah professor.

If I didn't waste my time with her, my social credit score would expand and I could afford the newest virtual vacation to the green place they say existed before Amazon bought the planet. That hag is oppressing me, damn her!

Tom was different though. Somewhere in the vestiges of his mind he knew this was bullshit. She was no hag; she was beautiful and fascinating and wise. It was her and only her that made him think again, to contemplate meaning, to ask forbidden questions, to feel.

"It's just the mall, stupid" he remembered. The enormous image of an inflamed scrotum foisted itself onto his entire being, gracefully rotating to show all angles. That's right... He was just slipping into the drugstore with the sole purpose of buying antifungal cream for the persistent case of ringworm he contracted from that robotic concubine store.

He was becoming disoriented and dizzy. Boundaries were beginning to dissolve and he knew it was time.

An androgynous figure in full lotus hovered before him, emitting a calming hum. In its halo could be faintly seen a scrolling index of the stock market. "Do you want sanctity of mind? Is it time for inner reflection? Do you need focus?". "Buy Now Pay Later!" it hissed.

In a whirling, scintillating carousel of nausea and mumbling faces he lifted his wrist, touching it to the NFC receiver on the hovering being's pulsating third eye.

And suddenly, as if waking from a nightmare, he was human again, with will and self definition.

Compelled to move quickly, he knew there was only 20 minutes, and his balls were screaming.
The requirement for all members of the target group to die in order for it to be called genocide is fallacious and not historically acccurate.

Was it genocide of the Native Americans, since 'they survived'? Was it genocide in Australia when white europeans took the land from the prior caretakers?

The answer: yes of course it was. Genocide doesn't mean total eradication - it means, attempted total eradication. In Gaza today, the lifestyles of the Palestinian peoples have been completely eradicated, and it will be years before they recover.
Is your roof actually made of concrete ? It's very rare.

Metal shutters is also uncommon, it's usually PVC.

What country you live in ?

Concrete is cheap but the steel used to reinforce it are not and concrete not reinforced is worth nothing so I don't know about your estimate.
In other words, the left needs to learn how to love the right (and many people within the left). But I don't know if that's the case. I think there are a lot of people on the right who want the left to love them but believe that the people on the left do not love them.

I believe the problem is that people need to learn how to feel loved. To realize that even our enemies are trying their best and most likely care about us a lot more than they would ever admit. Both sides struggle with this. People on the current left tend to just resign and give up on the relationships. People on the right tend to seek vengeance.

How many people (in absolute and relative terms) from each cohort passed/failed the training program and how long did they take to do so? Did the numbers change with the two policy changes described in the article?

If there was no change (or an increase) in the absolute numbers of passing graduates, that would support what you're saying. If there was a drop in the absolute numbers, it implies that there's at the very least fewer competent controllers. (And changes in the relative numbers tell us about whether the efficiency of the program changed.)

Given the litigation and FOIA requests around this, it seems like this data should be floating around, and should be fairly conclusive for one side.
I think you are terribly mistaken and, if I may, you are the one who seems to refuse to be educated (I don't say this as an insult). It is very easy to say "they are brutes" instead of looking at what exactly is going on and why democrats lost the elections.

As a non-US, I see very little difference between democrats and republicans, except maybe Trump. Democrats are the typical neoliberals: free markets, global capitalism, corporate rule, worldwide patents, etc. There is the famous chart that shows that since around the 80s the productivity went up while wages stagnate. Workers in the US right now are not in a much better position than 20 years ago.

Did the democrats campaign for improvements, raising the wages, improving healthcare, education? No, it was business as usual, "please don't vote Trump so we can keep things like now". Thus, many people said "fine, I'll vote for the other, he says things will be like before, literally".

So it's the Democratic Party who has baked into its DNA that things should not change, no matter what. I would say they could've won easily with some concessions, but those concessions go against their core beliefs.

Unfortunately, and because of this, Trump, a liar and conman, won. If they wanted to win they should've lied better, like Trump did.
I would bet on "Normalization of deviance", such a close altitude separation should probably just not exists (default is 1000ft).

If it had become a norm then a second controller would probably not change anything.
Almost 100% of basic scientific research in the world is funded by governments.

>I personally don't believe basic measures like turning off location services as suggested by the article will make a difference against a sophisticated adversary like a state actor.

The majority of activists are not worth the effort or expense. And for the ones that are worth - those guides make no difference since they don't harden as much. If you want real security - then the least you must do is have two devices. One used for hotspot only.
> Java is a great language because it's boring [...] Types are assertions we make about the world

This is less of a mind-was-changed case and more just controversial, but... Checked Exceptions were a fundamentally good idea. They just needed some syntactic sugar to help redirect certain developers into less self-destructive ways of procrastinating on proper error handling.

In brief for non-Java folks: Checked Exceptions are a subset of all Exceptions. To throw them, they must be part of the function's type signature. To call that function, the caller code must make some kind of decision about what to do when that Checked Exception arrives. [0] It's basically another return type for the method, married with the conventions and flow-control features of Exceptions.

[0] Ex: Let it bubble up unimpeded, adding it to your own function signature; catch it and wrap it in your own exception with a type more appropriate to the layer of abstraction; catch it and log it; catch it and ignore it... Alas, many caught it and wrapped it in a generic RuntimeException.

DHL B2C shipments to the EU are generally held in customs until the duty is paid, which makes it slow but ensures DHL isn't left holding the bag when people decide they don't want to pay unexpected import duties.

That's (historically) not the case for US B2B shipments. For those, DHL pays the duty as the shipment goes through customs and then sends an invoice after the parcel is delivered.
I use Kagi since 6 months, and it's the best experience i've ever had with a search engine.

The plastic feels solid, but I did not take it apart to check if it has decent crimping or electronics.

If you trust your 3d printer, you could do what the article suggested and use your heatbed.
If you don't see how that's relevant to the macro economics discussion, i don't see how the macro economics discussion is relevant.

We're sending in the young guns to save on government spending because trump won partly on "Biden ruined the economy". The government spending leads to the increase of government debt. Or is the debt coming from a separate source?
Vaguely related thought: An Amelia Earhart series that focused on her life rather than her death would tick many boxes for me.
> Hinge has a great user interface

Why do you say so? IMO Hinge obscures all the relevant details of a persons profile into the tiny, horizontal scrolling thing. Age, location, family plans, etc. all crammed in here, and then the best real estate dedicated to stupid prompts that are almost invariably “I go crazy for… amazing food!” “One thing you should know about me… My ig @hotgirl”
> Trump got a majority because the prior majority political party was literally participating in genocide, which was on display for the entire world to see.

Is the argument here that people vote based on what the prior party was up to, while completely ignoring whether the new party will do less or more of the same action?

Because that's really depressing if it's true.

You have some known historians who openly say that Trump fits the criteria for fascism. Republican party? Not really. Trump? Yes.
No Tesla, no Starlink, no Twitter. Easy, and very effective.
The CCP doesn't want Taiwan for the chips, they want it because having a successful democracy of ethnic Chinese off the shore means there are viable alternatives to communist rule, by and for Chinese people.
Anyone who had hope that Trump would avert the catastrophe was clearly ignorant of the facts of his subservience to the greater Israel plan.

Meanwhile, while Palestinians are eating cats, we are free to refer to Monty Python all we like.

What women say online about not wanting to be approached practically anywhere is a vocal minority, and other women don't even see these conversations

Positive interactions with men are not even categorized as the ones that annoyed them, despite the interaction being the exact same. so it remains up to you to figure out where you are on that totem pole
Depends quite a bit on the item. Some items are actually shipped domestically, for instance, and can be sold out within the country.
I agree. Both sides need to stop calling names, but more deeply, need to see the goodness in the other side (and in ourselves).

The problem can be, someone can feel attacked even if the other person is treating them in a very kind and loving way, because they think it's fake.

On the contrary, someone could receive verbal and physical abuse and still not feel attacked because they maintain faith in their and the other person's good intentions.

So I think it's more about changing the behaviors of the person on the receiving end than on the giving end.
Let me be sceptical for a second. This is such a non-feature. A single search a month consitutes usage. You literally have to forget about Kagi for more than a month to have any advantage here. My guess it this happens less than in 0.1% of paying accounts. Wake me up when they announce unused searches rollover.

Well if the left wants to lead, it should never stop doing soul searching. Why not ask ourselves, "What have we done that may have contributed to people in our lives wanting to support such vengeful behaviors? How might have we and other people like us hurt these people over the years?"
