I completely agree. Case in point, look at the front pages two most prominent examples of independent tracking of police shootings:

The Guardian's "The Counted" reports "891 people killed this year [by police in the U.S.] - http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2015/jun/0...

The Washington Post reports: "758 people shot dead by police this year" - http://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shoot...

The disparity is huge, but both sources could (and likely are, to the best of their ability) be reporting the truth. But they both have different opinions on what part of the issue should be prioritized.

I believe the WaPo has chosen its limited methodology (which would exclude Freddie Gray, among others) for an understandable reason: police shootings are hard enough to classify, nevermind all police killings. Read the Guardian's methodology to see the pitfalls of their own approach: http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2015/jun/0...

The Dallas PD is one of the few agencies that is actually publishing their officer-involved-incidents in a systematic, machine-readable way [1]...but if you check their official homepage and read a few of the narrative documents [2], you'll be able to see why things aren't cut and dry...and that how you choose to count things has a very strong impact on the numbers you end up with.

True, true, but there are journalists who don't hesitate to paint with broad brushes and push buttons in order to get page views or please an audience and seldom get called out by more reputable journalists.
He clearly isn't saying that, he is not attacking the journalistic efforts, he isn't being disingenuous (at least not in the sense you imply, but he could be grandstanding for political gain rather than saying what he really thinks).

He's using a figure of speech, the meaning is that the current situation where the best effort is coming from the journalists should not be allowed to continue, but there isn't any implication that they should stop what they are doing, it is an acknowledgement that the FBI or whoever should be leading the way.
I believe you have to explicitly state your right unfortunately, otherwise you lose it.

> "Think about your own Netflix experience and how frustrating it is — how long it takes you to find a film that you want to watch," says Cakarel. "It doesn't work. It categorically doesn't work."

I don't really think this describes my Netflix experience well enough to be "categorically" true.
To energise the nitinol requires battery power at least. I would hope that it would be able to do that without being powered up. But yes, that detail is missing.
Having no authority to order the harm, and having no plausible way to realize a tangible benefit from any harm that may occur, I fail to see how that is a criminal act. At worst, that's just a civil lawsuit against him.

And it would be a pretty strong affirmative defense if the landlord did not re-key all of his locks at the time of the eviction.

If this had happened in a physical place rather than on a web site, no one would be going to jail. Someone would be sued in civil court, and be forced to pay no more that the amount that a locksmith typically charges to re-key all the locks on a property.

And if the landlord so much as left a window open, the defendant probably wouldn't have to pay anything at all!

Yes, I was referring to request to provide copy of -noboundscheck. You stated that nobody seemed interested in turning off safety features, so I provided a counterexample.

As a matter of fact, I am interested in -noboundscheck switch. The motivation is so that people can easily confirm bound checks overhead is zero by themselves, because it seems many people find this hard to believe. I didn't submit a pull request implementing this (it is easy to implement) because I thought it was fait accompli. Was I mistaken and you will support such pull request?
The US crime rate is much higher because the priority is declaring people to be criminals and then punishing them, including immediate execution on the street, rather than reducing crime and promoting a harmonious society.

There's also a large political faction who believe that a private right to kill people is important and inherent in gun ownership.
I know it's a little esoteric to ask, but where does violence begin and where does it end? If no one in our society is willing to step forward and give a helping hand, the cycle of poverty and violence will continue, always. It takes very little creative energy to imagine reasons why the police should shoot first and ask questions later. It is much harder to tackle problems like early childhood education, access to jobs and healthy food, and at a moment of explosive confrontation, for the police to show mercy.
> However, with the Surface Pro 4 (and all previous iterations), it seems impossible to actually use on your lap. Granted, I haven't had an opportunity to try it, but the kickstand and attachable keyboard seem like they only work on an actual desk.

I own an SP3. It's definitely possible to use it in your lap, but I don't know if I'd call it comfortable. It's really finicky: you have to set it up just right for it to be lappable. You have to get the kickstand in the right position (SP3/SP4 have a huge advantage over the SP1/SP2 here), you have to put it on the right part of your lap, you have to put the keyboard in angled mode (which, on your lap, makes it much easier to type but harder to hit the touchpad, so you'll end up relying on the screen for pointing), etc.

Why? That was for a movie that I could pay to watch but they don't let me watch it. I wonder how they could be in business. Still they are so it's probably a sensible choice that I fail to understand.
Just to be clear, are you drawing this conclusion because they both can involve flowcharts?
While growing up in the Seattle area in the 70's & 80's, I always thought Seattle was the coolest city in the world. It's still fun for me to visit and I do miss the trees, lakes, and Mt. Rainier, but to me it has completely lost its charm. All that was once cool and unique has been monetized and whitewashed.
If a suspect draws a gun, the officer has already failed.

Now, I don't expect cops to just stand there and die at that point. But, few cops are going to admit they fucked up, and many have planted a gun after the fact.
What should I do with 100 powerful servers?
Hey! I have a big infrastructure of about 100 servers. I can't spend more than a few hours to deploy some cool stuff and it's just for fun. My ideas are adding all of them to the TOR network or running a bitcoin miner (only CPU so extreme unprofitable)

Any other ideas?
Not that I use the local YP much, but it probably depends to a large degree on how often you need local services like plumbers etc. To be sure, even as a homeowner, you tend to compile your own rolodex (to use an anachronism) of local service companies to use but every now and then you need something different that may not be easy to find on the Web. (Web presence is still very [EDIT] hit or miss for a lot of local companies.)
There has been lots of discussion on this topic. Many countries have a multidimensional measure of poverty, and there is also an international measure for it (http://hdr.undp.org/en/content/multidimensional-poverty-inde...).

The biggest problem is measuring it, so one standard income-based extreme poverty line makes sense in order to compare across countries.

Also, like I said in another comment, this measure of poverty is power purchase parity adjusted, so currency changes should not affect.

yes but Nash's point relies on the observation that the process of picking suitable "goods" (or services, or utilities, or stable costs etc.) can be politically corruptible as well. So theoretically the ideal standard lies here, but you have to solve the problem of political power and corruption as well.

Nash's points this out, and then proceeds to propose a different view that alludes to a creative solution.
Doesn't this basically just show that there has been inflation?

Why not use some stuff like infant mortality or literacy or deaths from starvation or deaths from communicable disease? You know, stuff that actually indicates whether someone is impoverished or not.

That surprises me, since I've just had to admit to myself that the ability to manipulate the screen directly is extremely useful.

>Apple has had GPU switching for quite a while (my 2010 MacBook Pro has it, and I don't think it was the first). So clearly MS didn't invent that.

Adding to this: Nvidia has also been advertising GPU switching for quite a while now, under the Optimus brand. I don't think it's a coincidence that MS went with Nvidia over AMD for the SB.
Indeed, since Apr 21, 2015.

I will say I like Lightroom but the way Adobe force updates annoys me. Instead of a new Lightroom offering new features and benefits, you HAVE To upgrade Lightroom for new Camera Raw versions (meaning if a camera is newer than the next version of Lightroom, it won't be supported on the old version).

For example, I own Lightroom 4 (2012), it does everything I need but I cannot use it with my camera purchased in 2014 because Camera Raw doesn't support it (even though the actual format of the RAW files is identical, just the camera's ID metadata has changed).

PS - Disclaimer: I actually have Creative Cloud now. Got it after my Lightroom 4 stopped working. It is the "At Home" deal via work ($10 per year for me for home, because my work already pays for an enterprise license).
For the lazy, murders per death by cop, based on those numbers:

Germany: 83

California: 17

Murders per capita:

Germany: 1/124,000

California: 1/23,000

So California's murder rate is 5.4x Germany's, and its death by cop per murder rate is 4.9x Germany's.

Is it just me, or wouldn't you expect the death by cop rate to be more than a linear function of the murder rate... perhaps even a polynomial function?

A difference in murder rate of x does not necessarily mean a difference in levels of violence/danger of x.
Yeah, easy to predict branches are really cheap. Very non-deterministic, hard-to-predict ones on the other hand are still surprisingly expensive. In such a case, conditional moves might make sense, or sometimes you can also use the result of a comparison in arithmetic operations, something like:

idx = 2*idx + (key > table[idx])

(to move a key down an implicitly-stored binary tree)

I know that reducing violence is a big, complicated problem. Not increasing violence is also hard. I'm just annoyed by this particular conversational gambit: I suspect that, when you say things like "the police are going to kill you", a lot of people read that as "kill them first", and the result is increased violence in both directions for no real purpose.

I would be much, much happier if this conversation moved more in the direction of fixing the war on drugs, the prison complex, and in particular the political attraction to being "hard on crime".

It took me a few looks at this picture to pick up on the fact that it is all in focus, whereas the depth of field of the f/1.8 lens is going to give you one of the subjects' eyes in focus.

I was a little disappointed in the amount of noise and the noise reduction in this pic until I started thinking about how it would look with other cameras. Probably a blurry, noisy mess with cellphone or compacts. To get the same effect as this pic with a DSLR, you'd have to massively stop down that 50mm lens and would end up boosting the ISO so high that even a modern full-frame DSLR wouldn't be that much better.
I believe what he's saying is that 1.02 1985-dollars (PPP adjusted) is greater than 1.08 1993-dollars (PPP adjusted).

Clicking the first two inflation calculators I found on Google and assuming their numbers are right (they both gave the same result), it does seem that if they had inflation adjusted the number using US rates, the original USD 1.02 should have been USD 1.37 by 1993.

EDIT: It's of course important to keep in mind that inflation rates are different across the world, and presumably the world bank at least will insist that they accounted for real term price changes for the relevant goods, so I still don't know how relevant this point in the article actually is.
How does GPG-signing help, when the signature is over a SHA-1 hash?
I completely agree with you. There should be zero licensing cost for patents created by a public agency. I don't know why it's the way it is and I'm going to assume it's just another way for them to make money and fund other stuff which I kinda understand but that can also stagnate things.

I've worked with public agencies before and multiple times we were mandated by freaking congress to open source our work for anyone to use and we were contractors working for a public agency. Charging licensing fees to a public agency seems insane to me.

Where are your references that this, or some similar methodology, isn't how the World Bank arrived at its figures? Don't you think they would have thought pretty seriously about what an objective measure for "extremely poor" is? Perhaps $1.90/day is a statistically valid proxy when thinking globally based on their methodology, perhaps it isn't ~ I don't know and I'm none the wiser from your comment. And where's your evidence that the numbers were "fudged"?
PostgreSQL 9.5 Beta 1
I think Capitol Hill is the most glaring change to me in the past 5 years. One of the neatest and most unique neighborhoods in the city, in a way iconic to how Seattle was seen is now filled with brand new condos and multi-use buildings. For god sakes there have been gay-hate crimes on Broadway.

Yes, tons of new development has happened in SLU, but that area wasn't much of an established neighborhood to live in before, so it doesn't bother me as much.

Seattle is quickly losing any remaining "grit" and that as someone who has always called it home that is seriously depressing. I'm in the Central District which to some degree feels more like a Capitol Hill (except with black people!) but I imagine it is only a matter of time before the condos invade here as well.
I would take it a step further. I used to work at NASA, and I never even thought about a patent. Not sure if we could have even gotten them, but the idea couldn't have been further from my mind.

To me, and what I would guess were most of the engineers around me, the whole point was space exploration. Full stop. Not climate studies, not "science for science's sake", but engineering (not science) to get us into space.

Maybe there is a role for a government organization dedicated to researching quasi-commerical science and engineering, but I would hate for NASA to become that agency. I want NASA focused on putting men in space.

But all those criticisms of prior iterations were valid. My dad tried to use a surface 2 as his main machine. His big complaints? Screen is too small to use as a laptop and the kickstand + keyboard cover suck for using on your lap or in an airplane seat.

SP Book isn't so much an evolution of SP1 as it is an abandoning of most of SP1's key design decisions: laptop-size rather than tablet-size, full-keyboard rather than keyboard-cover, and clearly designed to be used foremost with keyboard and trackpad attached (most of the battery is in the keyboard base) rather than with touch.

It's slowly worked its way towards being a MacBook with a stylus and flexible hinge, instead of being an iPad with full-powered CPU and keyboard cover. And that's probably what it should have been all along.
Whitewashed? I think this is the most diverse Seattle has ever been. Just a smudge above Portland.
Although I do not know why it is successful but you are right; mail is definitely not the reason why it is popular. But I don't think it is for the reasons you think it is popular either. Of all my 25-early 40 year old friends working in enterprises, exactly 0 people like it and they avoid it like the plague when they can. They like it slightly more than Sharepoint, but that's not saying much. To why it is popular still I would wager that's because enterprises just 'have it' and you have no other choice; you are forced to use it. But you were probably going to say 'collaboration' ?

The world literacy rate and trend is supposedly pretty good. However, there are large differences in how literacy is measured and huge uncertainties in the numbers.

In some countries you're considered to be literate if you can sign your name, in others they just report 99-100% without doing any measurements.

I think so. Those are separate distinctions that people fail to make in other situations – e.g. the common online claim to having a First Amendment right to say whatever you want in the comments section – and dealing with them separately is worthwhile, in my mind.

That said, the labels could have been more clear in that situation, and there were a few missing at the end of the whole thing.

After a new controller came into our company we conducted an audit of all existing expenses. Turns out we were paying $277 a month for multiple full color Yellow page listings. The owners set these up well before we had a marketing department and just kept paying for years. We did not even have a copy of the Yellow pages in our building to see what our ad looked like. We have since cut this ad to the most basic listing, but are stuck paying the high rate until the new book is published in February 2016.

My point is that this is how they are still making money, thousands of business customers that are just used to paying them forever.
