I know it's not your intention, but don't allow these people to control your perception of free speech advocates such that you're making blanket statements about them that might in turn color someone else's perception. They're hiding behind real free speech advocates, and powerful people are counting on stochastic comments like this one to help confuse the public.

I think what we know about disinformation shows people don't have to actually be bullied, they just have to think they're being bullied. Disinformation is cheap and apparently yields great returns.
Okay, so ignoring a lawful order is unlawful. It's still not 'disappearing' someone if you know where they are. There are also some people you could argue are being disappeared because their whereabouts aren't published. That's assuming media outlets simply just aren't reporting on their whereabouts to then create that narrative. Surely US media has never done that in recent history. It's all case-by-case and it's clear that ICE is probably breaking the law at a large scale. Still:

I've been and still working on code input (https://codeinput.com). A merge conflict resolution tool that integrates with GitHub. I'm close to move from an alpha to a beta and hopefully it'll be ready to launch in a couple months time. If you dread merge conflicts, or currently have a Pull Request stuck in a conflict state, give it a try. I should re-mention it is still in an alpha state and might bug out during the process.
"It's a leaked copy of the Windows source code from a long time ago that has been hacked on."

That's a claim that... at best it seems that hasn't yet gathered behind it enough motivation to clarify anything, and at worst is just a plain malicious FUD. It doesn't even matter, when you think about it. Even if we'd assume a legal accusation of leaked-resembling code in all that pile of modules, all that ReactOS team needs to do is to formally contract reimplementations by independent teams for any of those allegedly guilty modules. In this light, such an accusation is very unlikely to happen, and probably there won't be even a half-baked effort to officially demand clarifying and putting any potential issues to rest. So, about those people out there with an interest in painting ReactOS as plagued by leaked code, entertaining this uncertainty is all they'll do, nothing more.

People didn't vote for trump because they were afraid of kamala.

People _didn't_ vote for kamala because shes a milquetoast unqualified candidate that represents a party that has lost touch with it's base. It turns out, "just vote (for whoever we decide on at the dnc)." Is not a viable strategy.
Where’s the due process? Executive orders for this stuff are not the way forward for a democracy to exist. We have laws, we should use them and let the judicial system work. You’d want the same for yourself if the roles were reversed.

As a wise man once said, there may not be anybody you are excited to vote for, but there is almost certainly somebody you would like to vote against.
But do you need to do a memorization with a separate step, with flash cards and dedicated time? Or do you naturally memorize stuff as you work with it - after 3rd time you read up consistent hashing, you just remember it when you see it the 4th time? For me it's very much the latter.

(Note this does not mean I don't read boring books - for this to work, one has to read about related topics too. So if I am trying to troubleshoot code which uses consistent hashing, I'd read some texts on it, plus related topics like DHTs and maybe weight assignment strategies)

As an American, I agree - I'm pretty surprised at how nakedly transparent the whole thing has been. One basic example - I thought pretty much everyone agreed that at least some level of due process is just inherent to the rights of everyone in the US. When I hear administration figures arguing that flying the Venezuelans to El Salvadoran prisons is a good thing because "they're really bad dudes", I think "OK, and we're just supposed to trust that you and you alone can make that determination?" It has already been reported that multiple people had no ties to the Tren de Aragua gang, but were solely imprisoned due to their tattoos. When I took civics in high school this is exactly the type of stuff that we learned that basically "the US does not do", and there was an inherent pride in that fact. So like you I'm surprised at how quickly and transparently it all got washed away.
> I’m not claiming there was no civil liberty violated by any previous administration

Well. There you go. We can argue about degrees between the red and blue ties but where would that get us? It's a ratchet. I can point out the many problems of the past administration and you can point them all out in this one, and in 8 years time, it will be worse.

I'd rather have more than 2 parties.

You can vote against people. To me that's a tacit admission that you're accepting the proffer. As there's no way on your vote to indicate that it's a vote of protest vs. a vote of support. The candidate you vote for will see no difference. You'll have reduced your already meager position even further.

I do not accept this.

I mean if you want to get into the anti-democratic nature of the Unit Rule next I'd be happy to oblige you.

Your position is not automatically "good" just because school and MTV told you it was.
It's a little surprising to see the reactions. It's some sort social phenomenon. It's as if people are awakening to the real world for the first time. Yes, the intensity and the breadth is new (for recent generations anyways). However, almost all of these actions have precedent in prior administrations. It would be nice if we can strengthen protections against abuses, but my guess is that as soon as we get a new administration, the fervor will be lost and similar actions to these will quietly continue.

Well, it didn't start in a vacuum.
One of Trump's major political strengths has been his consistent stance, in contradiction to the Republican mainstream, that Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid should not be cut. That's why he does so much better with lower income voters dependent on those programs than McCain or Romney could. I definitely think voters will turn on him if he changes his mind and cuts them anyway.
While I think many of us here abhor political content on HN, Brian has taken a data driven approach to this post and provided an excellent roundup of facts and events.

I don't really agree with the sentiment of "be nice to people doing stupid stuff" that seems to permeate around here, so it's not really a "gotcha" to point out that I'm being a judgmental asshole.

> I take it you think no one could judge you for your position?

I don't give a shit if people judge me. I have my opinions. You're free to think that position is stupid if you want. There's eight billion other people on this planet, there's always going to be people who think my opinions are stupid. I think yours is stupid. It's a beautiful system.
The only free speech absolutist in America is Noam Chomsky. He's the only one.

Whenever conservatives talk about "free speech" just substitute "hate speech" because that's what they mean. Elon Musk has called himself a free speech absolutist while banning people from Twitter for hurting his feelings, for being journalists who are remotely critical of him, for making fun of him, for reporting ATC public data on the location of his private jet and for making jokes.

The media is absolutely complicit in not challenging the countless lies told by Republicans.

What didn't get a lot of attention is how Trump sued a bunch of media outlets (eg ABC/Disney) to defamation. These are cases he absolutely could not win on the merits. ABC presenter George Stephanopoulos made the on-air claim Trump was "liable for rape" after he lost the E. Jean Carroll case. Disney agreed to pay ~$16 million in what has all the apperances of a payoff.
I find these modern web page layouts, with peek-a-boo sections, independently scrolling columns, and other unnecessary fancy features to be frustrating to read, which is somewhat ironic since the story is about a difficult to read 13th century manuscript.

Elevated CO2 in submarines absolutely impairs performance. One example: there was a guy on my boat who got migraines when CO2 got too high - he was useless. Luckily the fix is simple - just turn on another CO2 scrubber.

There's nothing special about a submarine that makes CO2 somehow different than anywhere else.

Trump is obviously attacking free-speech, but the attacks have been going on by both sides. The examples I gave are _very_ prevalent and common, and not coming from the Trump camp. Very few people seem to actually believe in free speech, when it comes to protecting their political rivals... which is the only place the principle actually much matters.

Conditional on “the study being published and getting attention” the real effect is likely smaller and not larger.

Eg if you assume there is a real effect plus a lot of noise, given the study has been published etc the noise will have more likely acted in the favourable direction.

IMHO given the relatively large size of the effect it seems quite likely that the noise part is in fact potentially large (this is much more subjective) which makes is less clear that there is measurable signal at all here. I’d have to see a lot of replication or a very strong explanation of the underlying mechanism to believe the magnitude of the effect, but will very easily believe the sign (with a small magnitude).
Yeah a lot of what this essay called out seems bad to me, but I always felt like professors thought their lectures were more important to the learning process than they were. Most of my courses had more workshop like class periods where grad students and/or upperclassmen would be there to answer questions, and those were universally more valuable uses of time than the lectures. Office hours with the professors, and of course textbooks, were also great. But lectures? Pretty skippable, honestly!
> It is the reason why the standard purposely leaves some areas undefined.

No. It is _one_ of the reasons, not _the_ reason.

For example, signed integer overflow. If all you were worried about was the behaviour of the underlying hardware, you would declare this _implementation defined_. (With the vast majority of implementations today picking twos-complement.)

Instead, even compilers that target two-complement machines leave this deliberately undefined, so they can target exploit this corner for performance gains, without actually have to properly prove that leaving out certain checks would be sound under twos-complement.
As dataflow says that site has an agenda. I've used rooted phones continuously since Android v4 and I've had no trouble. Moreover, I'd posit that much of the crap I remove from phones lowers the attack risk which to some degree offsets the risk of rooting.

Granted, I'm not suggesting that everyone should root their phones, in fact in recent years I even stopped suggesting it to my tech-savvy friends (that is unless they approach me for advice).

I don't need to lecture about these things but all those who've rooted their phones know the huge advantages—power and control one has over one's phone is enormous.

For example, some apps contain so many trackers that normally you'd never use them except they're the only apps suitable for one's purpose. Rooting allows you the user to take control and have them do what you want and not that of the developer.

Yes, rooting has its risks but for my purposes its benefits far outweigh them.

The raw data was whatever came from the individual source systems. Mostly these were external systems. As we are talking large organizations, there are always various kinds of problems with the source data. So the aim was to bring it all together under a single, shared data model. It was very helpful to use internal DSL for defining clean models, we called it the canonical data model.

Yeah quality of clothing and price are completely disconnected now. It seems the only solution is to get advice from a textile expert if you really want the clothes to last. Or just hopes and dreams.

It's also why I'm very particular about how I do my laundry. Low spin, cold water, laundry sanitizer and the lowest setting I can get away with for drying. Air drying for things that are particularly delicate.

People have contradictory expectations of healthcare. They want it to be more efficient and avoid waste, but when the healthcare company institutes systems of accountability people complain about paperwork.

They've made clear cases where they refused government requests. Which cases ended in some kind of enforcement? It's hard for it to be selective prosecution when none of it ended in prosecution.

eh, I'm not going to cast stones at people who will voice support for the right to reprehensible speech and will fight for a system that makes sure even people with reprehensible speech have recognized rights and can get legal representation, even while they personally do not want to represent nazis etc. That's not a moral failing.

Suggesting a group is in some way a failure now because they don't use their speech how you think they should is, of course, at least a bit iffy while we're talking about this :) but FIRE is probably the group you're looking for today.

> Their interpretation of the statutes is secret

Their application of the statutes to facts that remain classified are generally classified, sure.

> The charges related to these warrants are secret if not adjudicated by the court.

There are no charges directly related to the warrants because they are not criminal warrants. If there are criminal charges indirectly related to them, they are not secret, and are pursued in normal US courts, by normal process.

> To be more direct, the existence of this court is an abomination in the context of a democracy.

There may be ways to improve the processes of these courts, but given the functions they deal with and the facts that in other democracies (as in the US prior to FISA) there is often no court oversight of foreign intelligence surveillance, I think their existence is actually a positive thing.
I am building "Scharf", a blazing-fast security scanner for reporting and hardening third-party GitHub actions.

For whoever aware of recent `tj-actions/changed-files` security incident, I built a mutable-reference scanner that performs a deep scan across branches to identify all third-party GitHub actions used in organization Git projects. The output report can be exported to CSV or JSON (default).

Using mutable references (version tags, main/master/dev etc.) is a security vulnerability that can result in supply-chain attacks.
