I can't find his original post on X (although that's probably for the better because his feed is filled antisemitic garbage, and he's pretty clearly at utter idiot).

But yes, some people really do think that way: They never think about the results of their proposals, and getting back to the topic at hand Bernie is the same way (although unlike that other guy Bernie really does seem to care about people), but he never thinks about the effects of his proposals, how people would react and change behavior.

This would make him a terrible President.

And I would remind you that despite being in congress for 34 years Bernie has never manged to get even a single idea of his passed.

In the grand tradition of sysadmins having to diagnose everything from a misconfigured router to a plugged toilet, I think diagnosing medical problems might as well be in the skill set.

First, I'd check the cooking oil and seasonings for common allergens. Then, if they had visited the US recently, check for Alpha-gal Syndrome.
Nonsense. Twitter is a scam porn cesspool.
Looks like the numbers are from the 2020 election (https://www.brookings.edu/articles/biden-voting-counties-equ...).

Red counties tend to have smaller populations, but there are more of them. Those factors balance out to each of the groups having roughly 50% of the total voting population (contributing to close elections). If we assume the proportion of non-voters is the same in both groups, then the blue counties are over twice as economically productive per capita, which shouldn't be surprising given that the red counties tend to be rural and agrarian.

I'm not sure the turnout assumption holds, but I'm also not sure which way has lower voter turnout. This 2016 map of voter turnout by county (https://abag.ca.gov/sites/default/files/maps/motm_10_18_18_L...) suggests urban areas (e.g. bay area, NoVA, new england) have higher voter turnouts than rural areas, so the per capita numbers may be even more sharply skewed towards blue counties.
> Harris and Walz campaigned specifically on addressing the issues raised by this article.

No, they didn't. They campaigned on a vague anti-"price gouging" promise while pretending they didn't even know who Lina Khan, Johnathan Kanter and Rohit Chopra were.

Harris never made it clear if any of their jobs were safe, her advisor and brother-in-law Tony West was Uber's general counsel, and Mark Cuban, a proxy for Harris during the campaign, screamed from the rooftops how much he hated them all and how they would be gone if Harris won (until the campaign told him to stop saying that.)

The only people mentioning antitrust during the campaign were on the Republican side, all the way up to Vance at least, and they continue to engage even after winning. Democrats were campaigning on companies "doing better" and not "taking advantage" and on anything else that wouldn't be definable or enforceable.

edit: it's important to mention that this is the second avian flu outbreak since covid to kill an enormous (but not as enormous as it sounds) number of birds, the previous outbreak was used as an excuse to raise the prices just as high, and egg profits skyrocketed. This happened entirely during the Biden administration. I don't know how Harris would have differed, but we have already seen the Biden response and it was to let everyone get away with whatever.
If cr is old tech any keywords for what is new/current tech?

I’m not sure your second point is true. The vast vast majority of classified information is very boring, or operational like frequencies of radar, etc.

Both sides know the basics, it’s what frequencies the radar comms and aircraft work at that is classified.

There’s very little “OMG this one algorithm changes everything!!”. Unless proven otherwise
It's not anything like Python. The language that it is most like is probably F# or OCaml.

Python's type checkers are optional. They only verify code with annotations.

Gleam's type checker is mandatory, so it is impossible to compile code without type checking being performed. Type inference and checking are always fully performed, and adding type annotations doesn't make the compiler perform any extra checking.

> How do you even know the inferred type of your function is what you really think it should be? (I’m familiar with inference gone crazy from Haskell.)

Gleam doesn't have subtyping so this is typically trivial, but idiomatic code has all functions annotated for clarity. You can also hover in your editor, or read the documentation Gleam generates and publishes from code automatically.
> The compiler only includes the stuff you actually use anyways.

Goodness, no. The compiler can elide unreferenced symbols, that's not at all the same thing as "stuff you actually use". Just build a static glibc binary someday around "int main(void) { return 0; }" for a reference as to just how much stuff can get sucked in even if you think you aren't using it.

In fact "unexpectedly included feature" was part of the xz-utils attack last year! The backdoor leveraged the fact that the openssh daemon linked against libsystemd for authentication, which links against liblzma (for some reason, I don't know why), despite xz not being required for anything in the ssh protocol. Boom.

And in that case, the two dependencies (systemd and xz-utils) were inarguably in the "complicated" category that apps can't be expected to reimplment. Think how much more complicated this gets if every bit of junk logic becomes a "dependency".

People need to be thinking about this as a problem!

Look into something like flexwatt tape. Maybe run it during the day when your not sleeping. In my mind, they probably use something similar inside heated blankets with some kind of limiter/thermostat.

Do your research though!! I'm not sure if flexwatt tape could ignite your mattress, but you would definitely want to know for sure yourself beforehand!

There are ways to control heat though; I'm familiar with using flexwatt tape with reptile enclosures, hooked up to a thermostat with a probe in the habitat for temp control. Maybe some math, like desired_temp = watts_supplied * feet_of_fw_tape, where the watts_supplied is the independent variable you adjust based on the required feet_of_fw_tape for your mattress to get the dependent variable desired_temp. Probably include a fail safe, but I'm no electrician, proceed at your own risk.

They do sell self contained fire extinguishers you can hang on your ceiling that deploy automatically at a certain temperature, ideally putting out fire sources they are hung above. Nice to have around for things like this.
Step 1 would be for the medical establishment to acknowledge that there are risks and potential problems with vaccines. Jenny McCarthy is a symptom of the decline in trust of the medical establishment, not the cause. The medical establishment's response to vaccine hesitancy is to discount potential harms, and refuse to honestly engage with the potential draw backs. Any hint of skepticism is met with articles like this one. That isn't the way to build trust. Also implying anyone questioning whether they're being told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, is a dummy, is not the way to build trust.
Maybe, this whole issue is trending on a 6 year old reddit thread where gen 2 randomly started failing world wide today. Hope we can get a response from google on how to fix this or if they are completely gonna axe the gen 2s.

If they invest elsewhere, they will have limited access to the U.S. market—that is Trump’s policy it seems.

If the U.S. has one thing going for it, it’s the strength of its market, characterized by high consumer spending and strong potential for growth. Contrast this with the Japanese consumer market, for instance: in real terms, salaries have not increased over the past 10 years, and consumer spending is below what it was a decade ago. (Note: I love Japan, but this is the reality.) European market is between these extremes I believe. The U.S. market may be significantly more attractive to most companies.

SAMP/T exists and is allegedly better than Patriot.

I don't think there are any particular weapon types for which there is no qualified European alternative. Very many systems are however designed around some amount of American components. Even if there are locally produced, reasonably equivalent versions of those components, you can't just swap them out without major redesign work.

For example the license-manifactured jet engines used in the Saab 39 Gripen. If Trump/Musk pulls the plug on support for those, it will be an epic headache to rebuild around some other engine. Not quite designing a new plane from scratch, but very major rework.

I appreciate the honest response, I really do.

But right here is where I’ll have to go back to my original comment about imagining problems.

You imagine he did something Nazi like. You imagined there are big swaths of right wing people supporting this imagined Nazi act. You imagine a big Nazi problem.

And it could be all in your head.

Listen to Bill Maher: Focus on becoming a viable alternative, rather than chasing crazy things. The world can only benefit from more viable options at the next election.
Of course power is given. If enough people decide to ditch YC and HN tomorrow because the CEO said something stupid, it will sink into meaninglessness.

Obviously that depends on the amoount of people and how far something has to fall, but it can happen. Other things will fill the void. Same goes for nations if you look at former superpowers like France, Spain or the UK. Everything can break.

I know you (rayiner) know how colonialism works, and you know the belligerents in Korea and Vietnam and which side of the imperialism coin they fall.

I do not believe equating Vietnam with Ukraine is something you can do in good faith.

Edit: America has remained an empire through a willingness to meddle far from home unde the banner of "protecting American interests". Watching a so-called conservative president dismantle the American empire is startling, seeing the rank-and-file fall in line with narry a dissention is almost unnerving. Anti-imperialist Americans must be having mixed and conflicting feelings right now.
Indeed, it seems there is something about the SG2000, maybe I should have a look at the various boards with it. I don't really mind about the vector extensions right now as I do code RISC-V core only assembly (not even compressed) with near 0 pre-processing (as it should be for all system software, and yes that includes the kernel).

EDIT ---

It seems the SG200X includes an ARM block and this is a definitive nono for me. I want to buy a SOC free from ARM royalties. I tolerate HDMI/mpeg royalties though.
Of course DRM proponents will never stop this garbage themselves. But people don't need to oblige these crooks and their corrupt laws. As above, nonsense laws are self defeating either way and proponents of 1984 style thought police can move along.

> He’s pro Israel and want less government regulation. I’m no expert, but to me that seems anti-Nazi?

Elon obviously does not tick off every box for "Nazi", but he gets so many that a lot of people are understandably horrified.

The salute was, physically, a Nazi salute - as any video comparison clearly shows. And he did it twice. Maybe he didn't "mean" it - maybe it was ironic, maybe it was for kicks, but it obviously was one.

Add to that his support for far-right parties around the world. That includes Germany, and, yes, Israel - while historic Nazis were antisemites, but some far-right people today find common ground with the far-right in Israel, which is exactly who is in power there now.

And Elon is allied with Trump, who got elected after a campaign in which he demonized immigrants as "poisoning the blood" of the nation, said that (legal!) immigrants were "eating the cats and the dogs", etc. etc. Those are classic lines from far-right, fascist governments. Demonizing gay and trans people as well, and Elon has done plenty of that himself.

So, is Elon just "far-right" and not "Nazi"? I'm not sure it's worth debating the difference. Obviously literal card-carrying Nazis are in the past, but the overlap between the modern far-right and historical fascism is enormous.

Go on youtube and watch NTSB / FAA investigation reports. If you think that a pilot's license demonstrates that someone is a competent pilot you are very very mistaken, and there are scores of counter examples.

Airlines very strictly test pilots and insist on check rides regardless of what official qualifications pilots show up with. They do this because they are professional organizations with decades of experience and it is necessary for safety. Giving someone the benefit of the doubt because they manage to meet the absolute minimum standard that makes operating an airplane legal is insane.
Agree, let’s build direct democratic simulated multiverse.

Or at least make a digital back up of Earth.

Or at least represent an LLM as a green field with objects, where humans are the only agents:

you stand near a monkey, see chewing mouth nearby, go there (your prompt now is “monkey chews”), close by you see an arrow pointing at a banana, father away an arrow points at an apple, very far away at the horizon an arrow points at a tire (monkeys rarely chew tires).

So things close by are more likely tokens, things far away are less likely, you see all of them at once (maybe you’re on top of a hill to see farther). This way we can make a form of static place AI, where humans are the only agents

I've always thought of 'continental Europe' as meaning 'mainland Europe'. In other words excluding the disconnected parts like the UK. Regardless, the UK is in Europe.
The EU needs to build arms to defend itself that the US can't interfere with and knows less about, and so does China.

The US has so many options to bully Europe. What about turning off cloud providers and other services like word, excel etc. Or restricting hardware like GPUs or other consumer stuff. There are a thousand options to bring europe to its knees. And there is nothing Europe could do.

I wouldn't presume to understand the bananas ideas of Trump and his kindergarten kronies, but I imagine they're looking at an inaccurately large landmass on a mercator projection map and hearing about the oil underneath and seeing dollar signs.

On a map, it looks to be bigger than all of North America, although in reality its only about 1/5th of the size of the US.

(although granted that's still a very large area that they probably see as 'up for grabs' since Denmark is small and far away and the US already have airbases there)
