>a situation where segments of the population are advocating killing cops. And, in fact, cops have been killed just sitting in their cars doing absolutely nothing more than existing.
[...]
>They are very concerned that every time they put on their uniform they become targets for maniacs. They'd love to be able to walk around without their guns when in uniform but, today, in the USA, that would be suicidal. And today, in the USA, for a cop to approach contact with a civilian not prepared for the potential of a gun being pointed at them would be just as dangerous.

That comes with the territory of participating in a violent criminal gang. Perhaps if, collectively, they behaved more like police instead, it wouldn't be as risky for them. Unfortunately, the cops have been giving people lots of good reasons to be defensive and/or seek vengeance, and their actions have eroded trust and respect even in those who aren't their usual victims.

It may be a small percentage of cops that are bad while the rest just support them, but because their coworkers don't bother to stop them, and they are unaccountable and immune to any form of punishment for violating the law, and they take advantage of that to victimize the citizens, they (and their fellow gang members) are naturally going to be at risk of their victims fighting back. When their victims can't get justice through the justice system, it is going to be messy frontier justice.

> form follows function

And effect follows cause. We should address the cause.

Stop letting police commit armed robbery under the fancypants name "civil asset forfeiture" and start holding them accountable for behaving properly and respectably. Teach them that throwing flashbangs at babies, shooting at protesters, stealing from people, and randomly arresting people for not being white are not proper respectable behavior. Teach them about the constitution and the laws of our land. It'll be a long and difficult change, but de-escalating (something police are supposed to do) sure beats the alternative of escalating further.

Hundreds of years ago, we had problems with corruption in law enforcement. That's why we have explicit laws against this: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated [...] nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation"

While the police are acting as a violent criminal gang, they will be perceived and treated as such. When they stop doing that, or at least justice occurs, then the problems will be greatly reduced and the police themselves will be much safer.
Was that for pastries? That's super interesting
Once a year, my friends and I rent a cabin somewhere off the grid. Sometimes, those cabins (or small ex-farms) still have working stone ovens. It's not hard, you make a big fire and when the wood has been reduced to embers and the stone has soaked up the heat, you put your baking goods into it. It works great for pizza, bread, pastries, everything. You have to inspect the state of the process from time to time, but as you get more experience you need to do it less frequently.

Personally, when I bake things in modern ovens, I don't use the thermometer either. Sort of, because they still have a thermostat of course. But in general you really don't need a thermometer for baking.
No, it was a chemical plant.
Oh that makes a ton of sense, do you know of any pre thermometer texts about this, thank you for bringing sense to my bar discussion

Justice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_(2006_TV_series) is a legal drama that sometimes the innocent are convicted or the criminal walk free. It is a fantastic show all around in my opinion, but sadly it got cancelled after one season due to low ratings. Perhaps that fact validate your position even more, in that people don't like to face the fact that the judicial system is fallible.

There's this thing, they're called dedicated servers. The reality is that game companies CEO's/execs don't want to pay for quality when they can push it out now get the money and patch later, aka.

I feel that I'm in a fairly related situation myself. A week ago I packed my backpack, and flew out to London to start a startup. Since my parents are not really supportive of me as I'm not "studying or working" in their opinion - I'm mostly on my own.

I've had some tough times recently, especially in the past week. But every time, I just look ahead and see what I can make, what I can build, what I want to achieve. It is _very_ difficult to get anything done if you don't have a clear vision of your future. It's _very_ important to avoid discouraging teenagers and young adults from going on their own path.
>But how did people bake the same thing multiple times

They didn't. The concept of food or beverages that taste the same, no matter when or where they're made is an extremely modern invention. It really only came about in the late 19th and early 20th century when industrial processes, statistical techniques, and physical sensors became well developed enough to reasonably guarantee the same outcome over and over again, for run after run. Prior to that, people just accepted a greater level of inconsistency in their foods, because that's all they'd ever known.

> You are explicitly allowing them to reshare your image via the platform

I don't know if I fully concede that, but it's almost immaterial, because the company ripped it off the platform and rehosted it on their own site.

> the article mentions they did ask for permission before doing that

No. "Crocs pulled the photo and posted it to their website [...] It was only much later that Crocs sought explicit permission from Ms. Way, which she declined." From the NYT source article: "The company had not asked Ms. Way for permission, and she was not aware that Crocs had used the photo until a reporter contacted her on Instagram."

You're appealing to what is "reasonable" to expect or not expect someone to do with your content, but it doesn't really matter -- reproducing someone else's copyrightable work without their express permission is illegal, and hashtags aren't express enough. (In the US at least, and again I'm not a lawyer.)
More U.S. women study abroad than men
Girls, do not open it Leave it to your boyfriend
I can see potential ambiguity in hashtags and wouldn't apply my argument carte blanche, but this specific instance doesn't have any confusion in usage.

My main concern here is that the positions are often reversed -- in this instance a company used an individual's content in a friendly, appropriate way, and did ask permission before any standard commercial use. Usually an individual is using a corporation's content in a friendly, appropriate way and is forced to desist.

I'd rather see more sanity in IP rights and look at specific instances than broadly apply some one-size-fits-none legal interpretation. I'd also rather the discussion be about practical concerns in (public) sharing on social media; any image tagged with popular terms and public is out of your control regardless of IP enforcement. My point is more that the chain of events is predictable and will continue to happen, so rather than attempt to enforce a virtually-meaningless copyright on a photo tell people this is normal and be mindful of what and how you share your content.

I would say by trial and error, although I didn't really experience any bad results yet. When the fire has reached the ember stage, temperature can remain stable for a long time.

In general, you can put in things with a large surface-to-volume ratio at almost any point, like pizza, pretzels, or buns. If you put them in early they just get done faster. With larger things like bulky bread loaves, I would wait a bit until the oven cools down somewhat because they are at risk of heating up slowly on the inside while the outside is already done. Personally, I find the bread variants with larger surfaces more appealing, so I don't have a lot of experience with the bulky ones. With pastries it depends on the temperature tolerances of their components.

Really, I would suggest you try it out yourself. I found that intuition works pretty well, even for me as a city-dweller with a non-agricultural background.

I think any cookbook that predates the electrical oven, or at least its popularity, will do. Also, many old cookbooks tend to be generally vague on such details (I am thinking of Escoffier, for example).

Thanks for your feedback. Now I don't really understand why I thought it wouldn't need instructions.

You can use this to push a webpage to any browser window, with minimal setup and interaction. You can make your tablet or phone a non-interactive external display.

Here are some instructions:

1. Add your device to your "farm" by scanning the QR code or entering the URL on that device

2. Optionally, edit the auto-generated name of that window (in your case "mapy"), to something like: "tablet"/"phone"/"oldlaptop".

3. See the bookmarklet link for your device appear on your computer, drag this to your bookmark bar

4. Visit some website then press the bookmark => the website should now be opened on the respective device. Alternatively, you can use the REST API to send a URL or image to a device

With a simple Ruby script (I will publish that soon), you can watch your Desktop folder on OS X for newly created screenshots, and upload them as they are created, so in effect, you take a screenshot and it instantly appears on your tablet.

While I cannot tell you what niche would be best for you personally, I would recommend making something impressive in the process of learning whatever it is you choose. At least then, if the area of expertise ends up being a bad bet, you would have something to show for it; and this portfolio item could live far longer than the specific knowledge you acquire. Another option would be to make the learning process a teaching experience (if you are not worried about sharing trade secrets), such as by writing educational blog posts in the process.

The sense of your question is very much akin to asking for investment advice. Both have the same problems of being a gamble and being prone to having recipients unwilling to divulge their secrets. If I were to provide one piece of advice on choosing, I would say choose a technology related to a field you would like to learn more about for personal, less technical reasons. That way you enjoy the learning and have a more certain feeling of accomplishment.

Permission from one of several founders at a 10 person company is proportionally equivalent to letting your team lead know you'll be absent. That's not exactly an excessive standard, is it?

Roundaboutly everything a business does is advertising, I'd draw a line between commercial advertising (ie: paid ad placements, physical displays) and content only available by someone actively going to a photo gallery on the website.

Tip: This license is you authorizing us to make your Tweets on the Twitter Services available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same."

That's pretty explicit, you don't have total control over it once you publish that photo, neither according to the policy nor in a practical sense.

Actually, the State government of New South Wales in Australia used to have a Dairy Board that set prices for milk production. It was quite good, milk prices were kept quite reasonable and it stopped excessive production but allowed for it. It was stopped by the Carr giverment in the mid 1990s.

Now there are concerns that dairy farmers are being completely screwed by big dairy companies. It hasn't been a good thing! The Carr government is also the government who brought in public-private partnerships and closed the quarantine service in Paramatta.

I would think that people that were baking all the time would build up so much practice and experience that they could probably be surprisingly consistent.

If you were a professional baker, or you had to bake all your own bread, I'd think you would become intimately familiar with the performance of your oven, with the characteristics of your leavening agent (probably a continually refreshed yeast or sourdough culture that you'd keep going for years), and with the local flour.

Although, since I'm currently reading through the Aubrey-Maturin novels, I wonder if the predominance of all these puddings they are always eating had something to do with them being easier to prepare reliably, compared to baked deserts.

Why do you think that politics is irrational? Because people don't bother to inform themselves what is really good for them and vote irrationally?

I am not going to dispute your points. I'll just say that painting all cops with the same brush is as fair as painting all Muslims as terrorists. Which is to say it isn't fair at all.

Their jobs are unimaginable to most of us, particularly when they work difficult areas. One of the cops from my Aikido dojo is in a gang task force. One day he entered this room (I can't give too much detail) and had a full clip emptied in his direction just as he closed the door. To this day he has no clue why not one bullet hit him.

Not one of us outside law enforcement or military service is equipped to understand what it would mean to wake up every day and go to work doing THAT job. It's far too easy to be angry at videos on youtube from behind a keyboard.

Again, I am not pushing back on anything you said. Your opinion could be exactly on point. I don't know and I won't take sides other than to say, perhaps take the time to go talk to a cop or two human-to-human in order to understand their plight. Buy them a cup of coffee and tell them there are a few things you'd like to understand. You know, they are sons, daughters, fathers and mothers, they are people, just like you and I. And yes, there are assholes in there just like in any other population.

I am not defending the assholes, but, yes, the vast majority of good cops out there deserve our thanks and respect for doing a job most of us might not want to do. Let's walk in their shoes a bit and avoid lumping them in with the assholes you see on youtube.
Perfectly possible, I am not sure.
