One would be causing red states to vote their Electors for Big Bird or whatever, thereby ensuring that “no Person have a Majority” of electoral votes [1], thus punting the Presidency to the House. (That or having Vance just throw out “bad” votes, again, throwing the election to the House.)

The cheaper service more than offsets the cost of electricity, I just prefer to use an OpenWrt router, and it bothered me to burn more energy on a worse modem that spews WiFi for no apparent reason. If xfinitywifi were on the list, I would at least understand what it's for.
American voters are insulated from a lot of that, which is one of the reasons the misinformation works.

Think about the number of moving parts between a federal job cut and most private-sector individuals feeling it. Or between research and the years before the dried-up pipeline slows down the country's progress. And most Americans don't attend, nor are interested in, town halls.
They're already pitching the idea that the 22nd amendment only prevents someone who had two consecutive terms from running again. Looking at the language of the amendment, I have no idea how they can justify that. But stranger things have happened recently. :-/
Thanks for trying it! It's not open source, but it is a single-page app. You could download the source and run it locally.

The web app is calling Jina Reader under the hood. If you needed something a little different, it wouldn't be too hard to write a CLI tool to call Jina and achieve similar results.

It's cheap to host, so I'll be leaving this up for the foreseeable future.
Tesla takedown is not about damaging property - it's strictly peaceful protests to discourage people from buying Tesla, and to raise awareness of Musk's role in DOGE and breaking the government.

Editorializing: A lot of folks bought Teslas because they wanted to do good in the world. Most of the Tesla drivers out there are allies of sanity. Except maybe those ugly trucks. :) :)
I think in this case it will require the non-voters picking up the scent of a monarch. This is why I believe that point is yet to come (though I do believe that the belief that we are passed it is also very rational, only history will know).
And the resulting backlash 10 years down the line ? I don't think science should be used that way: who would trust it eventually ?

Would you support a small study saying a medicine or a vaccine produces a 20 year life expectancy increase, all that to end up 20 years later with no improvement, everyone on that medicine, and the anti-everything yelling on every platform that the big pharma lobby poisoned our children ?

Even when the studies are on large samples, double-blind, long time range with a clear explanation as to why there's an effect, we have people trying to kill the resulting health campaigns. Don't encourage fake ones !
I was wildly disappointed in that series. A great premise that fizzled out about 3/4ths of the way through the first book. I powered through, and started the second, and gave up maybe five chapters in.

If the concept of world-hopping intrigues you, Charles Stross's "Merchant Princes" series does it better.
You're not supposed to forget it happened, you're supposed to have principles and oppose it all the time instead of going "well now it's OUR turn!", which just invites more escalation and retaliation and helps nobody.
I personally also found taking upper division CS courses extremely time consuming. Like 80hrs/week outside of class by the end of semesters.
Any references to the United States.. which is where the First Amendment applies?
If the screeching were actually oppressive you wouldn't have heard the disinformation.

Disappearing people from the streets in broad daylight, on the other hand, will probably have a chilling effect on discussion of the topics they got disappeared over.
Industry Voices Alarm as Peter Marks Departs FDA
It's very interesting that insurance companies take so much of the blame for healthcare costs in the US, given that they are essentially the only player in the entire system, (alongside the patient), that is against price increases and overbilling by providers.

I recently had an endoscopy done. Simple 15 minute operation where they look at your insides with a camera. They put you under for it. I got the itemized bill in the mail and the anesthesiologist alone charged $738 for the 15 minutes. Of course they probably also did some work pre/post op, but the fact that there were 4 people in the room and one charged $738 for 15 minutes makes it very hard to imagine healthcare costs going down without pinching providers. AKA doctors. My insurer isn't even for-profit.
That's at least 50% on you guys for bundling it with a lot of other conspiracy stuff.
The scotus would need to strike down the 22nd amendment. Even with as horribly morally bankrupt of a scotus as we have now, I don’t think they’d sink to the low of striking down the 22nd.

Government censors and preferential treatment are no match for a social network deciding what to allow on their platforms. Not even close.

One is a free market and free association (you know there are many alternative platforms these days?). The other is serfdom.

I think a large part of the problem is the debate I'm seeing here:

There are a very few people trying to engage with and process the philosophy in their own terms, but most people are discussing how to weigh and measure the author and how they would do things differently for their own self interest.

Our voices online are disconnected echos of our own basest selves. In real life, over a glass of wine I think most of the conversation here would be, naturally, more empathic and questioning and interactive.

Our digital shadows are very poor representations of our better selves, but they are and will continue to be used to measure us with each echo and each measurement straying farther from who we are, and who we were.
I'd guess somewhere dry. Swamp coolers don't really work in humid climates.
I can’t remember anyone respecting mainstream US news for the last 30+ years. Aren’t most news agencies, directly or indirectly, owned by BlackRock, State Street, or the Vanguard Group? That’s a real question.

It's an issue we're seeing all around the West - previously centre-left parties unfortunately were cowed into supporting 'soft-neoliberalism' over the last 30-40 years, and now that's shown to not improve the living standards of the many (but works amazingly for the wealthy), voters are looking for anything that looks different than the status-quo. Unfortunately that plus a bit of culture war drives them into the populist right.

Obviously that's a worse choice (at best it's just corrupt crony-capitalism under a veneer of caring about the little guy, at worst outright fascism) but we all have to admit that parties like the Democrats (and Labor in the UK and Australia, etc.) haven't had policy platforms to make changes that really and substantially help the struggling working-class for decades.

It's hard for us to see, because most people commenting on hacker news are in the professional class and the status-quo works quite well for us.
The people fawning and the people rejecting the Founders' intentions are two separate groups of people.

Media is the practice of including and excluding voices, and there are distinct trends over time of representing one or another set of voices.

They’ll first raise rates. If those get rejected, they’ll leave. In the meantime, private equity will extract a payday [1].

But then, what about being protected from sickness from a young age, to end up sick all the time as an adult ? You had a better education, we can agree, but your body got weaker as a result and now you can't be as productive as an adult.

I exaggerate a bit, but I found that during covid, where the mask was mandatory in my place, I was never sick. The only few years in my life where I was actually healthy continuously for YEARS, I and my friends could not believe the impact of the mask. But then we were stuck at home, living in constant misery and stress.

Once the masks disappeared, finally we could live again, and got extremely sick the first few years... Maybe a more normal balance would have been better ? Sick a bit continuously ? I think trying to avoid sickness is like trying to swim against the current, nature just works that way.
The reason Linux has poor desktop market share has nothing to do with a fun themed distro someone created as a side project.

> You don't see Windows creating a new OS for a single theme. You don't see macOS do it either.

I'd also consider the behavior of both Windows and OSX to be a warning to avoid, and not an example to emulate.

But the line doesn't always have to go up with every breath everyone takes. It's ok to do stuff just because it's fun. Not every single action needs to increase market share.
Similarly, expanding executive powers benefits whoever has the position, not just the guy who is in there right now.

The self-defeating behavior of the legislative branch, across both parties, for decades led to the risks going up invisibly. And it turns out, risks usually go up without people noticing.

This happened a bit faster than I expected! Super exciting. You'll have an easier time selling this if you can attach it to accelerating revenue, vs. saving money or reducing risk (the core value primitives). It sounds like you're focused on building internal tools vs. building customer facing products - is this correct? Curious why, if so.

I'm also curious if you've automated maintenance and support - those will be big questions.

I would go out and talk to lots of people and do open-ended interviews. Ash Mauriya has a great article on this but there are tons of other great resources. Your goal is to figure out who cares the most about this and why.

This isn't some obscure conspiracy. This an open and known practice of the CCP.
They were barely more than half of the voters, and did not represent a single unified ideology. This doesn't mean they won't vote against their own interests again.

What a great interview, with an unusual perspective … the son mainly knows Orwell secondhand, but understands him in a way that no scholar or fan or friend or journalist ever could.

I happen to be re-reading Burmese Days at the moment, which I think is his best after 1984. The movie 1984 with John Hurt is also very powerful - I watched it with my teenager a few years ago and he was transfixed.
To try to answer your first question, coming form someone who is also not an expert in Haskell or monads.

"apply a function to a box directly; no need to perform all the steps ourselves."

The box doesn't change, and it also doesn't matter what's inside of it. You are attaching the function to the box, who later knows how to apply it to itself. If you were to open the box, you would need to know how to handle all the possible contents. It's key here that you are only handling a box and nothing else.
A bunch of papers related to the JFK assassination that say Lee Harvey Oswald did it and acted alone. Who cares?

This certainly isn't something that means you should ignore the fact that people are being abducted by plainclothes agents who refuse to identify themselves, and sent to Salvadorean prison camps without any chance for appeal.
The necktie of today began in roughly the early 1600s. There were far earlier examples dating back to ancient Egypt, and examples in ancient China. I don’t really think ties are an imperative for being “dressed up”, but they’ve been around for quite a long time.
Do you not get massive amounts of dust?
I mean, a lot of very smart people told me that you shouldn’t be allowed to say things like “masks don’t work”. They also said hate speech isn’t free speech. Who am I to argue?

Personally I found everything in the article to be ludicrous and to have Jack-all to do with the First Amendment, but I am not very smart.
I never went to class myself unless I was required, had an exam, or loved it. Sometimes I would skip my research advisor's class to do research in his lab. Even if I wasn't in class, I was there though. I'd get notes from someone.
> Aren’t most news agencies, directly or indirectly, owned by BlackRock, State Street, or the Vanguard Group? That’s a real question

It’s a stupid question easily dismissed with a modicum of research. (Most papers aren’t public.)
"jawboning"? Really?
> It gets monotonically worse from here, and there is no longer anything we can do about it.

For decades now, government policy has had approximately nothing to do with the will of the public. (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-poli...)

This situation is now being corrected. Anyone who sees this as a catastrophe, as getting "monotonically worse", is no fan of a republican form of government
Turns out you don’t need FOIA when the participants free the information by accident.
Supreme Court Judges have careers that outlive Presidents.

I think people consistently misinterpret the overturning of Roe (a calculated, focused effort that took decades and overturned specific judicial precedent that basically had created a right-to-privacy from whole cloth) with "Trump has SCOTUS in his pocket." He doesn't. The GOP got the two things they wanted from tilting the SCOTUS in their direction; there's no reason to believe this SCOTUS is about to start looking at the bare-face text of the Twenty Second Amendment and decide there aren't any words there.

The incentives just aren't there. Especially because it's pretty obvious that if they do ignore that text, it becomes pitchfork time and their necks are no less vulnerable than the President's.

(ETA: And that's ignoring that individual states are not obligated to put him on the ballot if he's inelligible to run for a third term, and by-and-large, Americans do not vote for names not on the ballot because they don't know their own civil rights).
This is where we get to goals rather than facts, but I'd argue that trying to second-guess gay people's sexuality is a distraction. The moral principle is to let consulting adults do what they want, as long as they're not hurting anyone. Nothing after that needs to matter more than a bar conversation.

(Yeah, that probably sounds like moving the goalposts. In a lot of cases the goal will be implicit and you can just talk in your debate partner's languages of "supposed to", and that's the situation I was imagining in my first post. But if it gets messy, then yeah, you'll need to get explicit about is-ought.)
Do you expect earnest discussion when you accuse people here of screeching?
One of the fun things about Clojure that reinforces this "trivially true" perspective is that maps and sets are functions:

;; "maps" the keys to the values
(map {1 "a" 2 "b"} (take 5 (cycle 1 2))) ;;=> '("a" "b" "a" "b" "a")
;; acts as a predicate that tests for membership
(filter #{"a" "b" "c"} ["a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f"]) ;;=> '("a" "b" "c")

Once you get used to this idiom you naturally start thing of other functions (or applicative functors) the same way. The syntax sugar makes for some very concise and expressive code too.
…what? If I tell the PM the info needed, and he sufficiently produces the PPT without error, then it’s done? Why do I need further back n’ forths to make it consequential?

The number of passes/reviews is directly tied to error rate. If the PM/AI is able to produce my impression at 100% success, then great, there’s no further work to do.

The only thing learning matters for is with sufficient learning, they might reach a state where they no longer need to be reviewed, because they’ve sufficiently learned to not inject their own interpretation of things into it. They are now a straightforward extension of my own being, and have generated their documents as I would have done (had I the requisite mechanical time/skill/interest for producing whatever is in question).
Are Democrats constantly in violation of the constitution, and openly hostile to the first amendment? Yes.

Yeah, I ended up spending a lot of time messing around with Linux, etc. Then I got bitten by the hardware bug and am off to school for EE instead.
This is a really good compilation that should make any "free-speech absolutist" reconsider their support for the current administration.

In my understanding, the commonplace interpretation of the first amendment is largely due to a series of landmark cases through the early to mid-20th century. A lot of expansions were provided to the amendment that have been taken for granted since then and we are now going to see challenged. We'll see how many hold in due time but I wouldn't put good odds on it.
> The people fawning and the people rejecting the Founders' intentions are two separate groups of people.

The same people supporting Trump, from national thought leaders like Heritage and the Federalist society, to Murdoch publications (Fos, WSJ), to everyday people on social media have long pushed hard for expanded Second Amendment rights, expended freedom of religion which outweighs all other considerations and rights, and freedom of speech, etc. for right-wing hate speech (including their focus on social media moderation) - just as examples.

I went to a talk at the Computer History Museum once. It was a rainy day, and I and many people were hanging our coats on a long rack. The guy next to me asked me "doesn't anyone wear hats anymore?" as he looked in vain for a place to put his hat. It was Vint Cerf. I was speechless. How do you tell Vint Cerf that no one dresses like him anymore? He must already know...right?
