This is the interesting question to me. I mean not one line or the other but the idea that both instances of "drawing the line" are just positions on the same spectrum. If you imagine a continuum of societal scenarios from blissful idyllic peace to total dystopian chaos, on the one end murdering someone as a mechanism for accomplishing something is clearly unwarranted, and on the other end it's pretty clearly warranted. So the question is where are we on that continuum and where would we have to be to justify this?

In my view when police are kidnapping people off the streets for expressing political viewpoints, when government power is nakedly being used to benefit the individuals wielding it, and so on, we're moving pretty quickly towards a situation where there's not much rational basis for believing the system will hold wrongdoers accountable. That's setting aside the fact that the wrongdoing by the health insurance industry has been going on for decades with little accountability.

I wouldn't say we're at the point where a killing like this is justified, but we're a lot closer than we were a year ago.

The particularly frustrating and worrisome bit is that there are obvious moves forward that I think would greatly reduce the likelihood (and perceived acceptability) of vigilantism, but the people in power are unwilling to make those moves. These are things like passing laws to make large swaths of current health industry behavior illegal, with specific penalties against executives, board members, large shareholders, and others who profit from the bad acts, and then rushing in to prosecute and imprison those people and confiscate the majority of their wealth. No more mister nice guy, no more dithering, just direct, forceful, unstinting action against everyone who has gotten rich off other people's suffering --- but doing it via the mechanism of law and justice to demonstrate that it is an implementation of the will of the people. That would make people feel like the system is working. But when those in government are unwilling to do that, it makes people feel like those in government would rather have the occasional vigilante killing, and that they are on the side of the executives rather than everybody else --- and that in turn makes a small minority of people more willing to give those officials what they asked for.
Is that due to all the roundabouts switching direction relative to the Coriolis effect? Hence the relevance of the UK?

Presumably without roundabouts it's all random directions and balanced?

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Voting is not a civic duty. I have every right NOT to vote. It's my voice and I can use it as I please. Forcing me into a ballot box to pick between two awful choices is not civilized.
But the 22nd amendment forbids being elected to the office more than twice. Eligibility to serve as president may not be the same as eligibility to be elected president.

I like it. I wanted to cycle through a bunch of games. I added a player, so essentially 2 players. The animation of confetti slows it down something awful on my machine though.

If someone wants to cycle through games very quickly maybe giving them an option to disable anything that might slow it down.

For someone trying to learn the math quickly and look at the odds, being able to cycle through each game and aspect of the game might be the most important thing.

I'd make an option that's as barebones and quick as possible.
Can you elaborate? This article is talking about the threats posed by the Trump administration not by the Democrats who have no real power in the federal government at the moment.
I think it starts with undermining the values: Note the disparagement of freedom, of knowledge, science, and education as ways humans can make their world better - even the idea of making the world better and of truth itself; of the rule of law rather than the rule of power, and the embrace of violence, athletics, etc. Notice the contempt for the enlightenment and embrace of ancient Rome and other sub-democratic or dictatorial government.

I don't think it's accidental; I think people have a plan to bring down institutions, and it's working so far.
What are these violations of the constitution committed by democrats you speak of?
I'm still working on my newsletter: https://ciamweekly.substack.com/ , all about customer identity and access management (CIAM).

Recently added a free tier, so working on making sure both the free subscribers and the paid ones get value out of it. I've asked people to pay for my time as a consultant and books I've written in the past, but it is pretty scary to ask folks to pay for my knowledge via a newsletter.

Finding the balance between technical dives, standards reviews, interviews, and CIAM use cases while doing this as a side hustle is an interesting balance as well. And, the weekly cadence can be brutal. But it does keep me on my toes.

A study published just yesterday [1] showed that just two airborne diseases [2] were responsible for approximately 85% of all sicks days in Greece during 2023-2024. Disregarding the common-sense argument that reducing collective suffering is a good thing overall - even by the cold hard logic of capital, being able to reduce company sick days by up to 85% is a huge opportunity.

Imo we're way overdue standards and controls for clean indoor air that are on par with standards for drinking water and food. Like this article shows, we have the tech to provide clean air today. All we're missing is policy to uniformly deploy it.

Wrong question.

The question is "were peoples civil rights ignored because of that?"

In both cases: YES.
What Brian and a lot of the commenters here need to realize is that online outrage does not help progressive causes in the slightest.

While the examples in his article are valid & concerning, especially as talks of a third Trump term have started, I truly can't see anyone changing their mind because the response to it has been completely ineffective and tone-deaf:

Instead of a solid, modern, coherent plan to keep the democratic party alive in a time of populism and radicalization in response to a crumbling economy and cronyism, it has solely been a "look at all the bad stuff Trump is doing!" and "oh me oh my how outrageous!" which does nothing but fall on deaf ears after 2020.

This is because most of the people writing these "why you should be outraged" posts are in a bubble of educated, traditional-news-consuming, upper-middle class skilled workers -- all groups that are very quickly falling out of power and favor with the majority of the population.

I hope the democratic party finds a way to become a real contender again. While not everyone on the right is a boogeyman, there are plenty of Project 2025 supporters, much worse than anyone we know about, who will steamroll this country if left unchecked. If the right doesn't have a viable opposition party with strong messaging, we're in for a bumpy ride.
Withholding federal funds from colleges for not cracking down hard enough on speech the government doesn’t like isn’t related to the first amendment? Or it is but it’s ludicrous?
> that plus a bit of culture war drives them into the populist right

And the establishment refusing to run new candidates. If there is a single person to blame for Trump 2.0, it’s Biden.
I feel bad that wikipedia (I contribute and donated to it long ago), has forever been a text and photo based encyclopedia based on web.

I do not think MS Encarta's budget was more than $50 million, while it obviously had no more than 1% of articles. But the content they had was top notch. It was a very good multimedia encyclopedia.

Wikipedia's budget is about $170 million (based on quick search). I don't think their software has any major updates, all the contributors work as volunteers. But they have 700 employees! And needlessly spend money on conventions.

If someone needs to create content for wikipedia, they need to create something like Encarta that can be fun to use for kids, and available from school libraries. I have fond memories of teachers playing encarta videos when explaining topics like resonance and why sodium is so reactive.

To be honest, I don't think I buy this. I'm from NZ and we have a number of introduced species (possums, stoats) which have a dramatic impact on the native wildlife.

A lot of bird species in NZ are unique and only found here. They're almost all critically endangered or at risk [1], as they evolved with no natural predators.

I'd rather we try and control these introduced species so we can keep (at least some of) our native birds.

That plan fails the requirement that to run for Vice president you have to be eligible for president. But sure, Trump trying to pull what Putin did with Medvedev in the 2000s seems about right for a wannabe dictator.

Technically illegal due to the Twelfth Amendment: “no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States” [1].

It has started. The Posobiec book (foreword by Steve Bannon) makes the case that anyone to the left of Mussolini is a "secret communist revolutionary" and rationalizes doing anything to "crush" us.

This is a popular book. I found my own mother reading it. I took the title at face value at first and found the skull disturbing but not threatening what with not being a communist or anything close to it. But then I started reading and I realized that it's not a matter of if they pull the trigger but when, and when they pull the trigger that they would be completely comfortable calling my mild liberal beliefs communist, and that my mother would probably believe them as they stripped me of citizenship and sent me to a labor camp in El Salvador.
You've confused absence of comprehension for absence of argument, but your lack of counter point is abundantly clear as you've resorted to projecting a lot of hot air. Do YOU even care about privacy? I think you're just self righteous contrarian, arguing from feelings, not facts.

My message is clear and consistent, here is your chewed food:

I care about privacy. I don't care for privacy enthusiasm, which means using products like VPNs and Signal that pretend to give you privacy but really don't. It is impossible to have a modern internet experience and real privacy at the same time, and I don't pretend otherwise. I have yet to see a real solution - not a made up hope-based idealism - to this problem. You either use internet and accept it (when i say i don't really care) or stop using the internet and go live in the woods.
Benefit of the doubt is relative to both the item and setting though. What prior evidence do we have that would cause us _not_ to extend benefit of the doubt to the US government in the specific context of disappearing people?

I can think of plenty of examples of shady things various official bodies in the US have done within the past century, but regular occurrences of "extrajudicial kidnapping without a paper trail" isn't one of them.

If you go through proper channels and leave a paper trail then regardless of whether or not you agree with what's been done it can't reasonably said to be "disappearing" someone.
This republican form of government was explicitly created to insulate law and justice from the direct will of the public.
I know home schooling is a really big thing in America but it always gave me creepy child abuse vibes.
If that piece of paper isn't being followed, what are the rules of the game? And are you agreeing that force does settle it? Should it?

John Adams might agree with you though. He said the constitution was intended for a moral (and religious) people. Maybe Americans are simply out of virtue, and don't deserve the Constitution anymore?

Sounds pretty expensive.
I'm still scratching my head at how some people are surprised by this overreaction. It seems a lot of people think the current fawning over authoritarianism came out of a vacuum. All of the sudden a majority of America came out of stasis and flocked to the polls to elect a dictator.
clickhouse-local is similar to duckdb, you don't need a clickhouse-server running in order to use clickhouse-local. You just need to download the clickhouse binary and start using it.

clickhouse local
ClickHouse local version 25.4.1.1143 (official build).

:)

There are few benefits of using clickhouse-local since ClickHouse can just do lot more than DuckDB. One such example is handling compressed files. ClickHouse can handle compressed files with formats ranging from zstd, lz4, snappy, gz, xz, bz2, zip, tar, 7zip.

clickhouse local --query "SELECT count() FROM file('top-1m-2018-01-10.csv.zip :: *.csv')"
1000000

Also clickhouse-local is much more efficient in handling big csv files[0]

The attitude of "you won't make it better so we'll make it much, much worse" is the reason we're past the point of no return.

Actually making things better is hard. A lot of people legitimately disagree with Bernie Sanders. He simply does not have majority support.

For the rest of my life, the Democrats' policy is going to be "trying to get back the rights you lost in 2024”.

I’m aware; I’m mostly saying the third term of FDR is not really “precedent” given the degree of popular support FDR enjoyed and the lack of the 22nd amendment at the time.

Trump seeking a third term will be out of the ordinary, and if he were to “win” the election and be recognized as the president, it would mean the end of the constitution. And that could happen.

Yeah that's fair - I don't think he'd be elected via a popular uprising of support. It's a very different scenario that has my worried.
The study itself is pretty explicit that it is just one encouraging case study which the authors believe merits follow-up research, rather than something conclusive. Matt Y's reporting isn't as forthcoming about this as it probably should've been, but he does also say the same thing at the end. He sort of buried the lede but didn't lie or anything.

All research is met on HN by people who know better and will tell you why it's flawed. There isn't a greater collection of expertise in the history of the world than on HN.

Edit: I meant to add: What value can we find in this research? It wasn't published as scripture, the perfect answer to all our problems. It's one study of some interesting events and data; what can we get out of it?
Given the severe whiplash that all the billionaires have had towards Trump, don’t assume that:

A) the Trump administration isn’t doing the exact same thing

B) the media companies are painting a totally honest picture of the kind of government pressure vs showing loyalty to Trump by supporting his narrative.
Example (using “a modicum of research): MSNBC -> NBCUniversal News Group -> Comcast Corp (and Vivendi) -> The Vanguard Group (largest shareholder).
So we aren't using mmap (but we are using WAL), so for one thing there's a lot of buffer and cache copy work going on - I'd expect it's the old classics from string.h. WASM is a high level VM though so I'd expect (provided you pass the relevant flags) it should be using e.g. the VMs memory.copy instruction which will bottom out in e.g. v8s memcpy.

we also don't use a common driver, ours is here https://github.com/tailscale/sqlite

sqlite in general should be mostly optimized for the targets it's often built with, so for example it'll expect everything in string.h to be insanely well optimized, but it should also expect malloc to be atrocious and so it'll manage it's own pools.
