>> Actual homicide is just the tip of the iceberg, of course, but if this doesn't qualify as "significantly and often" then I'm not sure what does.

Mainly because police departments do not keep these kinds of statistics, so the data is horribly incomplete. And as anybody knows, you can massage the data to show anything you want when you don't have the complete picture:

Officials with the Justice Department keep no comprehensive database or record of police shootings, instead allowing the nation’s more than 17,000 law enforcement agencies to self-report officer-involved shootings as part of the FBI’s annual data on “justifiable homicides” by law enforcement.

That number – which only includes self-reported information from about 750 law enforcement agencies – hovers around 400 “justifiable homicides” by police officers each year. The DOJ’s Bureau of Justice Statistics also tracks “arrest-related deaths.” But the department stopped releasing those numbers after 2009, because, like the FBI data, they were widely regarded as unreliable.

The other problem with your data is that there is no firm evidence how each of these scenario's played out. Did the person being shot pull a firearm? What about brandishing a weapon or charging the officer, or attempting to assault the officer? We don't know because this kind of evidence is never taken into account. All people see is a cop who killed a citizen, nobody knows the exact circumstances around every single one of these instances - which makes ALL the data that much more suspect.

So yeah, when you look at the raw numbers, they look bad, but when you add in the circumstances by which these played out, you'd probably find out a lot of these were justified - which is why cops tend to get a lot of leeway in these kinds of scenarios, and are rarely charged.
When it is done because of content, and particularly to suppress content (as opposed to the domain owners rights to particular content), there is a pretty good argument that it is a form of censorship.

> 1 defect in 10,000 is not arbitrarily 'good'

No, I'd argue it's pretty awful. The average person probably interacts with the police ~10 times during their life. If 1 in 10 000 cop interactions ended up with you getting killed, police brutality would be in the top 10 causes of death in the US (on par with suicide).

being a student is a near universal experience, so its an industry that nearly everyone has some degree of experience with

also there is at least some degree of connection being the education industry and being perceived as intelligent, so a lot of people's self identity is connected to their relationship with the education industry

for a lot of people their education is one of the 2 or 3 largest purchases they'll ever make in their lifetimes

>All of that is known, and they've been trying that for half a century with not much success (besides the occasional report for a "cancer vaccine"). What makes you think they don't know the logistics involved already?

No it hasn't tumor antigens are a fairly recent discovery, the epigenetics of cancer as well as it's relationship with the immune system are also quite new fields.
MUC1 was only discovered in the mid 80's it's expression initially linked to cancer in the mid 90's since the mid to late 2000's where we actually started trialing this out and started developing immunologic therapeutic processes.
If we are talking about cancer specific therapeutic vaccines then there are already several on the market some of which are classified as orphan drugs and can be sponsored most of them are currently only life prolonging treatments for cancers with no other treatment course.

And again it's not like overall vaccination is a closed book there are only a handful of diseases we can effectively vaccinate against and those are ones which are immune system is pretty damn good in dealing with the begin with.

I really don't understand your argument anymore because at this point you are arguing about the logistics of vaccinating against chickenpox vs developing new cancer treatments which is asinine.
New research is done everyday doesn't matter if it's into vaccines for new viral diseases or cancer the logistics of the research are the same. And if you are talking about delivery logistic than cancer would win every blood day of the week.
> it's a window to employment conditions that techies would never accept.

I absolutely would accept those employment conditions if I didn't have any other options and needed to make money to survive. I would also spend my free time learning a skill so I could get a better job at some point in the future.

> It's a good reminder of privilege.

It's not a matter of privilege, it's a matter of ability. In tech more than any other field, because you don't need a college degree to get a good paying job. You just need to have the desire and ambition to learn.

The federal circuit's opinion concerning the copyrightability of APIs is only binding precedent on the federal circuit itself and only when interpreting 9th circuit law. The FC's usual jurisdiction is over patents, not copyrights, and they only got involved in this case because Oracle originally asserted some patents that failed to find traction. In particular, the real 9th circuit would be free to draw their own conclusions should they hear a future case concerning the copyrightability of interfaces.

> I'd argue that the myth of "Vaccines causing autism" was not just manufactured by media, it was manufactured by a crook doctor who i) had developed his own single dose measles vaccine and needed people to stop using MMR and ii) was paid by lawyers to find a link to autism.

Of course most of the time media sources don't invent stuff like this - but tell me, without the widespread publicity, would anyone even hear about this guy?

Now one can say that it's only fringe outlets that go anti-vaxx nowadays. But mainstream sources do exactly the same type of reporting - omitting or not doing the math, blowing things out of proportion by literal orders of magnitude, etc. - when it comes to GMOs, or e-cigs, or immigrants, or terrorists, etc. The feedback loop between readers and publishers can turn just about absolutely anything into a nation-wide scandal.

Testosterone Boost Tuesday – How to Boost Testosterone Levels Naturally
As far as I am aware DoE can discharge any loans they originate (subsidized, subsidized and PLUS loans). Between sub and unsub that covers up to ~$18k/year, meanwhile only 1 in 10 student end up with over $40k total. PLUS loans are probably closer to private loans in obligation as parent loans can cover multiple children.

In my client's case it was >$100k of parent PLUS loans, discharged under TPD. Statistics suggest TPD could apply to as many as 20% of borrowers. Again this number will only increase as baby boomers get older. I don't know if "small fraction" is a fair description or not of 20%, but that would still mean >$12B of parent plus loans alone are eligible for discharge under DoE TPD.

One problem I experience first hand as a lawyer is potential clients who actually are eligible but they don't believe it. Worse they think it is some type of scam, because they believe it is impossible to discharge student loans. Something tells me if I discharged >$100k in student loans for a parent as a SV startup rather than in my capacity as a lawyer, I might be hailed as disrupting student loan debt rather than lucky.
The problem is that then you need to force customers to be on Google/Facebook/whatever.

There was (Still is!) something very similar in an organization called CAcert[1], which was a predecessor to the current Let's Encrypt project (free SSL certificates) that hasn't succeeded dramatically because it hasn't been able to get its root certificate into browsers.

Basically they host parties, usually alongside a Linux or BSD conference, where trusted members will look at your legal documents and then affirm on their website that you are who you say you are. Some amount of "you are who you say you are" was then needed to get a free SSL certificate.

But imagine that in this context: everyone keeps one secure CAcert account, and then when you need to reset your password, some sort of OAuth handshake with CAcert proves it. You have one secure account with CAcert, and all of your utilities and cell phone stuff and PayPal will only reset your password with a handshake with the CAcert servers.

I'm more confused now than ever.

Is it true that all Windows 10 SKUs have full-disk encryption turned on by default?

And this automatic full-disk encryption is called "device encryption", which is really the same as BitLocker but without any way for the user to control it? And you can't get BitLocker on the Home edition?

If you immediately set up BitLocker, it allows you to save or print your key instead of sending it to Microsoft. But does it use the same key as the default "device encryption" that was already sent to Microsoft? BitLocker doesn't create a new key and re-encrypt the drive?

And the TPM automatically loads your key into RAM when the device is powered on, so it's still vulnerable when the device is not in your possession?

Are you safe if you (1) create a local account instead of a Microsoft account, (2) use BitLocker instead of device encryption, (3) save your key locally instead of sending it to Microsoft, and (4) require a separate PIN or key to boot the computer in addition to the local Windows account??

It would be helpful to describe exactly how to create a local account, because the Windows 10 setup procedure hides this pretty well. It looks like the only option is to use an existing Microsoft account or create a new one during setup.

And it would be great to explain how to create a secondary PIN or key since that doesn't show up in the BitLocker UI until you edit the local policy[1].

No. The prevalence of crime should not in itself be an excuse for the police to use lethal force.

Or maybe you meant to argue that crime rate is an indicator for general lawlessness of the population, in which case crime rate and police violence are two sides of the same coin?
Except the point of the article is that PayPal's 2FA is pointless, since password reset bypasses that and relies on easily-obtained information.

Oddly enough, While flying back from Shanghai in 2006, the Caucasian woman next to me had a son that worked on the line in one of their sweatshops and had done it for over a year. They were from a prettywealthy family that produced things in China and the son decided he wanted to start at the very bottom. She said he insisted on sleeping in the dorms, would not take a special AC unit offered to him, ate with the rest of the workers, and even had a girlfriend. I asked how long he was going to do it for and she said she didn't know. That he seemed quite happy having such a simple and hard working life.

As I understand it (I don't know much about guns) a weapon is a measure of last resort. The officer should only discharge the weapon if someone is about to die and all other efforts have failed. And when they discharge their weapon they must shot for "centre mass" - shoot to wound is a myth.

So if that's true why isn't information gathered about every single round of ammunition that's fired? Because every time that trigger is pulled is a time when someone (the officer, a member of the public) is at risk of death, and pulling the trigger carries a very real risk of killing the alleged perpetrator. (Or innocent bystanders).

It's baffling to me that statistics like these are not kept.

Maybe this would be too high a burden. But at least they should keep numbers on how many people they kill, and what the precise situation was around that death.

Most of the time they ask you for some four digit number, name, address and etc. I think the first two steps would be 1) send SMS message to the number, alert issue and have user read back the code, 2) access code sent to user's email address.

I remember there are banks give you biometric reader and only then you can log into your account. Cpatial One's mobile app allows you to use fingerprint to auth the app, great for convenient but we can probably make the app even more secure by demanding the same fingerprint used throughout. Of course, there have been some attacks on iPhone's fingerprint device, but first, you need to have access to that fingerprint, so most likely targeting at some big fish.

#TeamAngelWolf Tia and Rio
My nephew worked for Amazon in Kentucky and during a snowstorm they refused to let him stay home. He didn't feel it was safe to drive (and it wasn't). They told him he is fired. Someone even called to apologize later, but he already found work some other place.

On the "good" part of Amazon at AWS, I had a laughably terrible hiring experience (I know I've told my story multiple times, sorry). They forgot to call me back on the scheduled phone interview day, my future manager who was supposed to interview me wasn't there the day they brought me in, they forgot about me during lunch, sat in a conference room for an hour, then went wondering around, thinking, nah, this can't be happening. After that I got a little snippy with them parroting back leadership principles. And then later it took them 3 weeks to call back (but at that point I wasn't surprised).

However, I like them as a amazon.com customer. I guess to make things awesome on the outside, those on the inside have to suffer...

Interesting but if your code is open source a lot of people will be contributing to it bringing in their own style.

Depending on how popular the code is your fingerprint could be completely hidden amongst hundreds.
The real problem I see is: A lot of places are still using SSN (and sometimes address) as a "password". And it's not just PayPal. It's the "something I know" that was never a good idea in the first place. I never understood how just your SSN was a good authenticator of who you really were.

Required as in mandated, perhaps, but certainly not required as in necessary.
Banks allocate real resources in the economy, and the instrument by which they exercise this power is making loans (printing money) for projects they deem appropriate. I think often people get the causality backwards: banks don't have more power than other institutions and people because of their ability to loan money into being, they have the ability to make loans because of their existing power. That is, loans are merely the mechanism by which banks exert their power over resource allocation in the real economy. This Swiss referendum may put the kibosh on this particular style of loan generation, but I see no evidence that private banks won't just create a new system of loan accounting and money creation for the central bank to implement which will accomplish the same outcome within the parameters of the new referendum.
