Precisely. The question is misconceived. Formalizing the authority of the government to suppress domestic terrorism would be, not "Orwellian," but necessary in the face of a threat that only failed due to the incompetence of its executors.

To disagree in this moment is to demonstrate that necessity, really.

> unless it builds some of those features

Here's a thing I don't understand - why is everyone obsessed with copycatting?

By aiming for feature parity you, as a business or service, are letting a competitor dictate your roadmap. And what's worse, with features they have already shipped.
During initial containment china welded apartments shut and organized essentials deliveries by dedicated couriers for each city block. And then there's the option of military-enforced cordons. There are multiple levels of panic left untapped.
Oh a dismissive comment on HN upvoted to the top. I'd been getting worried, it'd been 1 post since the last one.
What, the New York Times wasn't objective enough for you? [1] You prefer the Washington Post? [2]

See, here's the thing: because of the way that GamerGate works, anyone who says that they're part of GamerGate is a part of GamerGate. To use just one example, the shooting threat in Utah was by someone explicitly claiming a link to GamerGate.

(And I never said that GG killed dogs, I said they celebrated the dogs being killed. Which is obvious if you read 8chan at the time.)

This is an old fight which was settled (in the other direction) around 1980 by looking at the example of linear string search. Without break the logic is clearly contorted and hard to understand.

Now I don't argue at all that dropping out of a loop with return out of a small method is preferable though.
Do you have a link to the Greenwald article in question? It sounds interesting.

I can't help feeling that what this bowl is really missing is machine learning.

By profiling an individual using their online behaviour, and using only a small cluster, we could produce a prediction of what objects should be sorted to the top of the bowl. Simple IOT connectivity could then tell if the right objects are near the top and send push notifications to your phone. These would warn you that what you thought you wanted next was not what your social network would have wanted.

Altogether a much simpler solution

I don't know why, but I loved this short article. Beautifully written, and subtly raising some metaphors of stone and life and digital... ones that are left quite hazy... to great effect imho, if you enjoy that sort of haze over the things you read :)
Yes, but we of course know it's way more complicated than 'too few or many arrests'.

As to the OP, I would argue the job of police is really to just 'keep a lid on things'.

We don't not run around killing each other because 'policing' - we don't do it because it's immoral, wrong, self-defeating etc..

Solving 'high crime' probably necessitates a whole slew of social things, including policing - and once the situation arrives at something resembling civil, the police deal with crimes that are more or less rare and on the margins. Or more serious things like organized crime.

In my suburban upbringing I barely ever saw police, and I think I had one interaction with them regarding a traffic ticket. It's literally the only time I've had an interaction with law enforcement growing up. I didn't know a single person growing up who interacted with the police in any more than those terms.

If you can get a community to that point of stability/baseline prosperity, policing is something different entirely than 'there are 50 people shot this weekend, gangs control parts of town, kids going to school face real violence'.
It would be nice, but I haven't cogitated to do this before. I write too much personal things, maybe it is boring for other people, moreover I do not know if this is a good idea, once I will be too much exposed. First I would need to check what I wrote.

Totally agree with that. The important time is the one between the disclosure and the fix, not the one between the disclosure and the first response. It could be a bot :)
If your VM is stuck on a GRUB prompt, that's an issue with its GRUB config. You could have the same problem with any VM. Change the GRUB config to stop this behavior and repackage.
Well, for one thing, writing plugins is absolutely smooth in Emacs. This is not true of Eclipse, beyond the thinnest and palest shadow of a doubt. The only way forward for Eclipse to get anything approximating this is, IMO, to build a Clojure front-end for plugins to use.

But design wise, the Eclipse plugin system is awful comparatively. Some of that comes from Java's native lack of extensibility and static nature. Some of it is just plain old design pattern profusion.
What I'm getting here is we should listen to the 0.1% when they're right.

As far as I can tell, there were police officers on the other side of the door (where Babbitt was). Police officer shouldn't have shot her. His life was not in danger.

A good solution to this is using iptables to control what has access to which networks, rather than relying on the OS. AFWall+ is a nice front end for iptables and requires root. Netguard is another option that doesn't require root, but I'm not sure how that one works.

This seems to be a typical feature of "long-form journalism" [1]. This might be a typically American format? (As a Belgian, I also see this type of articles less often in our media.) I've grown to dislike it because it feels pseudo-intellectual: making articles longer with the implication that they must be of higher quality (especially in contrast to clickbait), but in reality, it often feels like the journalist is just fluffing up the text with irrelevant information. I think these articles are supposed to be read like a short story, but nonfictional, rather than as a factual account of what happened.

Handholding doesn’t solve the problem of someone second guessing themselves, and can make this much much worse. Outside of pair programming it’s normally a solitary activity where people get plenty of time to reflect. Interjecting in the middle of this is again very different from a work environment.
This is a terrible take. Reminding readers that something is a lie is not censorship. And just as democracy couldn't survive real censorship, it also couldn't survive leaders being allowed to lie with impunity. Where we are now is proof of that. I will agree though, Trump has brought the US government down to the level of a third-world country these last four years.

This is very welcome, as I've often found the official NASA/USGS tools to be difficult to use in practice.

One thing that I don't understand is why coverage appears to be poor or non-existant at high latitudes (say, above 70 degrees). Shouldn't there be a lot of images here because of the near-polar orbit (i.e. high latitudes should be sampled frequently)?

Also, a graticule would be handy, as it can be tricky to find a specific place with the simple basemap.

But thanks very much for this tool!

Good point about the potential sources for material. I hadn't thought of it from that angle. I hope the writers don't get too distracted, though, and work events into the X Files world, rather than vice versa. (No shortage of ways to spin things, but if they lack confidence, they might try to update the story line to keep it "relevant".)

As for the propaganda aspect - well, of course, trust no-one :D But since I lived from the UK, and watched the X Files as a teenager, that would probably have passed me by. Older viewers in the US might have had a more sophisticated take on it.
I don't know if it even qualifies as "schmuck bait." The Prof's actions are ethically objectionable (and personally disgusting to me) since he actively solicited unethical behavior from gullible students.

I can't agree strongly enough that you need a documented, repeatable, tested process for getting from bare metal to a production system. This is a pain in the keister -- less of a pain these days with improved tools, but still going to take some time to do right. It will save years of your life if you have an emergency, though.
>That doesn’t mean I think she has made any of this up.

She has an awfully weird way of expressing this. The first few paragraphs of her post are dedicated to implying as hard as she can that this blog post is some sort of meat industry propaganda.

For example:

>There is so much that is eerily parallel in these stories—not just the vague descriptions of the health-related experiences but also the evolving philosophy regarding food justice, and some very, very similar language.
A friend of mine who briefly worked for Scribd once tried to convince me that Scribd enhances the experience of working with PDFs online because it offers better navigation features than PDF viewer plugins. I'm not convinced, but perhaps it makes it easier to understand the Scribd users?

The problem then is that the TSA is tasked with protecting an area that also contains people who do not intend to board aircraft - the airport design is faulty - there is no way for people who just need to pass customs and leave the airport to do so without exposing them to the secure departure area.
(That shouldn't be an international airport in my book)
This is quite simply amazing news. The implications are astounding, beyond the mere selfish prospect of one day travelling to space as a tourist.

Considering a loose estimate on the value of the asteroid belt is like $5(10^20), it could literally be a new gold rush. It would be awesome (to the true definition of the word) if one day our manufactured goods are being landed from space rather than shipped across the ocean.

Beyond that, I envy my offspring that could one day live in space as if it were mundane.
I suspect the motivation behind this website is the suspicion that he won't follow through on his promises, thus yielding an opportunity to discredit him.
That's understandable, but doesn't benefit HN. It's purely a selfish reason, and I don't think it brings any public benefit with it.

Besides, these are public forums, not private emails. How does it benefit the public?

Finally, while it's a little point, HN has a pretty restrictive robots.txt file.
The fact that the iPad is the only significant player in this market right now is a pretty doggone big competitive advantage.

You can get an arbitrarily high P/E ratio if you're running a growth company that aggressively reinvests. It's a meaningless metric in this context. Look at gross margin and price to revenue instead.

Tesla is still richly priced by these, but within the realm of plausibility if you make the right assumptions.

Is that why John Sullivan - founder of the far-left organization "Insurgence USA" and BLM of Utah was there filming and participating? Who would have thought he was a Trump supporter.

It's well known that there were many Anarchists there along with Antifa and BLM activists. It's just the media won't feed that story since it doesn't fit their narrative.

You and I will never know the whole story or the truth...
Depends where! The region around Summit Station (the most accessible part of the interior) is not reliably windy, for example:

I wish Bungie and other game companies in the 1990s used CVS or other revision control systems more extensively. (I know some game studios did, but it was rare.) Some of these artifacts like the Marathon beta (with the cool doors and Pathways engine), or even the source code to Marathon itself, are lost. (There is the Marathon 2 source code, and efforts like M1A1, but still.)

Here’s the Marathon beta, with screenshots: http://marathon.bungie.org/story/betasfjan94.html

That’s also not to mention the various defunct game studios. Every once in a while some incredible artifact will turn up, like an SGI Indy with the source code to Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.

Games are cultural artifacts and we should make efforts to preserve them similar to other cultural artifacts.
::fistbump:: The amount he wrote of was surely small compared to what he billed over his career. He also probably booked a loss after the write-off and claimed a larger amount to be returned on his taxes.
This is a fascinating thought experiment.

I think equally as interesting an experiment would be to imagine if an alien race found this drive, instead of a future human.

I imagine, to them, it would be like a modern day auto mechanic admiring all of the analog wonders of an antique car from the 1950's. Even though they may have no experience with the technology they are probably able to recognize the roots of the technology and perhaps are able to quickly deduce how it works with simple observation.
There are private MRI businesses, but not many. When a friend of mine had some hard to diagnose brain malfunction his family drove to NY to get one.
Yup, we disagree here. I still see it as orthogonal.

> An electric car that replaces an ICE is NOT better than an ICE car that's not being replaced at all (be that by using it longer or by simply not needing it anymore).

That's not on the table, though. People who now drive ICE cars will continue to replace their cars. The immediate choice is between buying an ICE and buying an electric, and the latter is strictly better. Over time, this will eventually (hopefully) replace ICE cars with electrics.

> ANY sort of fix or improvement is that it's actually preventing much needed change from happening

It's not preventing anything, as new cars are going to be bought anyway. You can argue that it reduces perceived urgency of reducing the number of cars on the road. That I'm willing to admit.

> Not a single traffic problem will go away with electric cars and the inefficient and destructive suburban lifestyle will be actively supported even longer.

True. But that's exactly orthogonal to the idea that, ceteris paribus, replacing ICEs with electric is an improvement.

> if you actually care about climate change and efficiency, you need to change your LIFESTYLE, not your car.

Yeah, that ain't gonna happen at scale, though. There are three tried-and-true ways to get people to change their lifestyles: economic pressure, religion and new technologies. Just asking isn't going to help.
Pihole works pretty well. I have it set up on a VPN, and the difference between regular internet and no ads internet on mobile is pretty impressive. As a bonus, it blocks ads in native apps too.
No, that statement would simply be false. China's social media & communication services are monitored and the government forces all platforms to apply censorship or identify dissent, they are certainly not free to say whatever they want. Services that don't adhere to these restrictions are not permitted in the country (like Google).

China also pursues dissent beyond its borders. Zoom, a company primarily develops their product in China, actually shutdown meetings with foreign participants because they were related to the Tiananmen massacre. The US FBI has revealed a covert CCP program called Operation Fox Hunt to coerce foreign dissidents into either committing suicide or returning to China's jurisdiction by threatening their family in China.

Frankly the difference between the US & China in degree of freedom of speech, both practical and theoretical, is astronomical. The two could not be further apart and even the most glib comparisons don't track.
A blog about living off the grid seems ironic/oxymoronic (is that a word?).
> - Press the voice command button

Star Trek was an outstanding achievement on so many levels and for so many decades. However it did burden us with the idea that voice controlled computers would be a good idea. They're not and for many non-obvious and non-trivial reasons. But the idea is pernicious and doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.

In fact I bet there's a very similar essay like this one about voice control. Several, posted every few months for the last two decades.

It's not clear how this could be enforced. Most sharply in the case of a hard-fork, and less sharply, but more commonly in the case of competing alt-coins striving to be the NFT of record.

I remember hearing that it's common practice to patent inventions in multiple different legal jurisdictions, to protect yourself in multiple localities. Otherwise, you would find your patents being exploited in a different country, where the registry of ownership that the government enforces is different.

In the world of NFTs, there is no enforcement of the registry. Competing registries are cheap to create. What's the value in that world?
What they're saying is that if someone else is oncall, you tend not to deal with the quality issues of the system (it's a negative externality). If the system you own doesn't require any on-call at all, then great. But for those that do (let's say your a web developer for nytimes.com), the code and system owners should be on-call, not a separate ops team. Ideally being on-call is something you barely notice because nothing happens.
I agree. This is a great piece of writing and presentation. I'm not a developer, have only dabbled in HTML and CSS as a hobbyist, and probably will never use CSS transitions. But I really enjoyed reading the article, and I'm almost tempted to sign up for his course.

When he has time and feels ready, he should write an article about how to plan and write explanatory articles. People in many fields could learn from him.
