Uh, guys. Fifth Amendment. Double jeopardy. No person shall "be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb." In plain terms, you can't (in general) be tried again for the same crime after you are acquitted.

It wasn't a felony murder, so it can't even be tried in a different jurisdiction (federal). The protection isn't altered when new evidence comes to light.
My hunch is that "what gives black people a 'back accent'" is continued segregation into the "black part of town".

Not legal segregation (at least not anymore), but unbroken feedback loops that keep them there.

As a non-politically tinged example, look at black expats in China. They dis-proportionally go into the entertainment industry. Why is that? They usually come over as students (Sino-African friendship and all). Now most Caucasian foreign students find jobs as English teachers. However, many Chinese parents want white teachers as a bragging token, so most schools will not hire black English teachers. With the easiest option out, most of the circle of black friends you'd acquire as a black foreign student partying is involved in the entertainment industry, and suddenly you're a promoter too.

There's a barrier to entry in that example (for English teaching), and a self-perpetuating feedback loop (if you have predominantly black friends in China, your network is mostly in entertainment or leaves after finishing their studies).

Now back to Compton. Worse barriers to entry, and most of your network has shot someone. What color is your parachute?

I would say a developer who writes good code is one who:

1.) Uses comments & documentation as a last resort.

2.) Tailors the complexity of their code to the intended audience. There's nothing inherently wrong with 'being cute' or utilising the full feature set of a language if this will make future developers' lives easier. Conversely, if the project is to be maintained by someone that is fresh out of college, KISS is best.

3.) Prefers tried-and-true over bleeding-edge for production-level projects (it's called bleeding edge for a reason, 9/10 times you'll bleed).

4.) Produces code that conforms to what-is rather than what-should-be. Blindly sticking to ideology will perhaps produce more 'beautiful', but not necessarily more maintainable, code.

5.) Is aware of the expected lifetime of the project. No need for defensive programming if this is an MVP that you know will be scrapped in six months time. If this is the backbone of a major banking system then extra checks and being paranoid makes sense.

6.) Follows the conventions of the project and ecosystem. Consistent code is more important than personal style.

7.) Perhaps I'm in the minority here but: is not over-reliant on IDEs. Tools like IntelliSense encourage you to offload part of your mental model to a program; I feel like this inhibits your reasoning abilities.
* You perform business in a country? Pay the taxes for all revenue factually originating in that country, not technically based on loopholes. If revenue originates from a customer/client/subsidiary in country X, you pay taxes in country X; you don't get to have customers in country X, but pretend like your business in country Y really took their money. Simple as that.*

You seem to be wanting a consumption tax rather than an income tax. This is known by economists to be the least distortionary tax, for the exact reason you argue.

It's also highly criticized by left wing types since it taxes people in proportion to the benefit they receive from society rather than what they produce for society. Typically poor people consume more than they produce, while rich people produce more than they consume.

Large companies that threaten to abandon doing business because state X or country X makes them pay tax? Farewell, we don't need you.

Except that very often, we do. Just look at Austin - as a result of their little feud with Uber/Lyft, they are now providing below sub-developing world level services.
What happens if Google doesn't pay the fine? It seems like it would be a huge negative for a nation to ban all Google services in their country.
Not necessarily. It could be that, say, poor people are more likely to get fined. If more black people are poor, then it could look like discrimination against blacks, when it's just discrimination against the poor.
The first time I was researching this some time last year, because a client wanted this, I almost fell off of my chair.

The recommended "solutions" all of which were being used at least somewhere in the mortgage industry were convoluted processes around people either drawing their signatures with their mouse, uploading a scan of their signature as a picture, or, the most ridiculous, just typing their name and then (optionally) choosing a cursive font so it looks like a fancy signature.

This, of course, is robbing the signature of all of it's original intent of reproducability by just a single person to, you know, prove that you signed yourself, and replaces it, usually, with the ability to receive mail to a certain email address and might as well just consist of a "secure" link to the document and an OK button.

All of these solutions were claimed to be legally binding according to the ESIGN act [0].

I am really glad we ended up not integrating.

If you had spent a small amount of time and energy propping up the general sentiment that your rock collection was the next big thing, yet had bountiful positive results in the the rock hype cycle, and the rock hype cycle regularly paid out considerable profits on such investments, I would indeed consider buying one of your rocks had I the $15m.

People regularly spend millions on sculptures which are indeed just special rocks. The Guennol Lioness comes to mind.

Then, if you made the rock cost a negligible amount of money given the regular payouts on such ventures, I would really start considering it. Don't be a boob.
I'm under the impression that farmers consider it a valuable risk management tool. That is, they plant Roundup Ready crops because they like how it works. There's other seed available, so the ones that plant them are choosing.

There are a lot of unsolved problems in the world, and computers are a great place to explore their potential solutions.

I like what a friend of mine who went from Ruby to Python said... "Python is easier to understand, harder to love."

For me personally:

* I like Rubygems & Bundler more than Pip

* I find the split between Python 2.x and 3.x to be obnoxious

* Python whitespace indentation bugs me a lot

TL;DR -- Python isn't much different than Ruby in terms of what it can and cannot do. Personally, my new favorite language is Elixir, which does a whole bunch of stuff neither Ruby or Python does particularly well.
> You can spin this all you want but let's face the truth gaming on Linux isn't "better than it's ever been" it's pretty much the same as it was because the ~2000 or so titles on a closed source platform like steam is still a drop in the bloody ocean, and it's really not how one would want to do gaming on Linux. If you are going to champion closed source and DRM then what do we even need an open OS to begin with? SteamOS is a black box running on top of Linux it's not any more open or free than some high end appliance you buy that uses some GPL software. Heck the PS4 and XboxOne probably run some GPL also.

You are mixing tons of different topics that are unrelated to your original point. So, Strawman tactics I guess.

The key point is, can a Linux gamer play more games now than 5 years ago ? The answer is clearly yes. That's all there is to say.

Actually there was also another platformer (can't recall the name) from UbiSoft released back in 2015 or late 2014. Outland maybe.
The name is somewhat unfortunate, as I assumed historical software (like archive.org does with its old BBS collections, and such), but the roadmap looks very promising.

Specifically, they're planning search across their entire collection. I just watched a talk by Yegge about Google's internal code search (for their gazillion lines of code), and it struck me that if we had something like that at web scale, it could potentially be a force multiplier...maybe not quite comparable to the Internet itself or to the Open Source community (both of which are likely 10x or 100x or even bigger multipliers to productivity), but certainly a productivity booster.

That doesn't appear to work:

Post.where(id: 1).or Post.joins(:author).where(author: { name: 'John' })
ArgumentError: Relation passed to #or must be structurally compatible. Incompatible values: [:joins, :references]

It appears that only the filter clauses are allowed to be different (similar errors if :select, :order, :group, :limit are different), in which case it's no more powerful than Sequel, just more of a pain to use. You can easily implement ActiveRecord's behavior in Sequel if you want to combine filter clauses for arbitrary datasets:

ds = Post.where(id: 2)
Post.where(id: 1).or(ds.opts[:where])

It's also interesting what happens if you mix where and having clauses (I'm not saying it doesn't make sense, but it may bite someone):

Post.where(id: 1).or(Post.having(id: 2)).to_sql
# SELECT "posts".* FROM "posts"

Selective memory? Keystone XL pipeline didn't care about color of property owners when using things like eminent domain. US Fed runs highways through while farmland. Your deceptive when you imply that its blacks only.

Entertainment, not lifestyle.

>If all you do is look for black criminals, yes that is exactly what you will find.

Or if all you are doing is looking for a troubled part of town, that's exactly what you will find.

>¿Wait, what!?

Acting offended doesn't negate his point. The "black accent" is lazy, low lexical density, hyper masculine and caustic. It's the core of a culture, communication. Be white, get pulled over and talk like you normally would to the officer. Get pulled over again and adopt the lingo and "snap on a fuckin' racist ass pig trin' to hol' you down tho'" and let me know how it goes.

His point is strong - act like an animal, get treated like an animal.

"Oh, they find out soon enough, when being pulled over for "XXXXing while black""

Ok while we are making stuff up - I guess whites will find out soon enough that they are racist for "XXXXing while white". Nobody's concerned with a white males problems, hes probably privileged anyway so fuck him, right?
In which case you need to delineate your channels of access more clearly. Move your main communication to something more asynchronous (email, text, wechat/whatsapp, slack), set a time where things will be checked, and perhaps offer an emergency line over real-time messaging (phone calls fit the bill best).

Most things are not time critical, and a sizable portion of the things that are, are not mission critical.

That isn't a problem in Sequel, as you can pass a complex expression to #or, in which case it works as you would expect it to:

Post.where(id: 1).or(Sequel.&({:id=>2}, {:name=>'Foo'}))
# SELECT * FROM posts WHERE ((id = 1) OR ((id = 2) AND (name = 'Foo')))

It is like that documentary that caused waves recently, about the guy whose original rape conviction was overturned by DNA evidence only to get convicted of murder. It's not that there's no evidence Adnan had something to do with the killing. It's that the burden of evidence wasn't met.
In some sense, digital cameras do the same. They have a different channel for red, green and blue, that are composited to provide something similar to true color. (Even old film cameras do something similar.)

Sometimes you can get surprises. Most cameras can see some of the UV and infrared light.
> Open carry laws in Georgia are not meant for dark-skinned Muslim men.

Funny you should bring that up, but not only it's true, there's some considerable history there. Few people are aware of it these days, but historically, South was actually very restrictive with respect to right to carry arms - most of it prohibited _all_ forms of carrying outright (look at this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Rtc.gif - and note where the red color is concentrated in mid-80s).

These laws mostly date to the post-Reconstruction era, and during Jim Crow (and later, but that's when it was most prominent) were effectively enforced or not enforced on the basis of race, and, to some extent, political affiliation (say, if you're a white dude who's travelling around the state to help blacks register in the 50s).
Crime statistics for black people are high, therefore black people are criminals.

Tesla sat on this for two months and then released it on the 30th of June.

Why is that date important? It is the end of the third quarter in the US which runs from the 1st of April until today. It is also a holiday weekend.

So while, unsurprisingly, everyone here wants to defend Tesla's tone it is hard not to look at the date of this release with a lot of cynicism. They've waited for a great day to bury bad news, and to hide any financial costs.

No doubt all the replies below will claim this is coincidence that Tesla announced this at the end of a quarter on a holiday weekend late in the day.
I would definitely buy this book, and (Army vet here) a lot of my former platoon members probably would too. One of my former squad leaders is a cop now, and another platoon member is at the police academy.

I spent a day and a night in Tonopah, NV, in the clown motel, but not by choice. It was a story-packed 24 hours. I never thought I'd see someone writing about being a tourist there though. Tonopah's economic collapse is written starkly across a landscape of rusted out industrial equipment, as well as the flat affects of the locals. It's the kind of town you nervously wait to leave while you're filling up your gas.
You can mix and match your own queries with Thinky helper functions. I do it all the time with .getJoin. Do some more advanced REQL query, getJoin it into your other Thinky defined models. Thinky is great for the modeling/relationship aspect, setting up default values based on returns from anonymous js functions, ensuring indexes, and dealing with referential integrities when you want to recursively delete related documents. Managing all of that manually, while it's doable, would be a giant pain in the ass. Point is, Thinky and raw REQL work together.

Yes, "documents and references" and "nodes and edges" is where things become fairly synonymous which is why I asked about RethinkDB supporting relational documents. I honestly think they are doing themselves a disservice by calling it a "JOIN" since that sounds slow and scary. If they wrapped it in a nice API like ".navigate()" or ".traverse()" I think it would be reasonable for them to advertise as a graph database! Tip to anybody at RethinkDB in case they are listening.

For all the people in this thread who don't feel like they have solid ground to stand on one way or another (more specifically, other me's, middle class white dudes who are bothered by this but don't even know how to start approaching the situation), this book is single-handedly the best resource I've ever come across - "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

This is what I've now said 3 or so times in various autopilot threads. It has to be an all or nothing thing. Part of responsible engineering is engineering out the many and varied ways that humans can fuck it all up. Look at how UX works in software. Good engineering eliminates users being able to do the wrong thing as much as possible.

You don't design a feature that invites misuse and then use instructions to try to prevent that misuse. That's irresponsible, bad engineering.

The heirachy of hazard control [1] in fact puts administrative controls at the 2nd-to-bottom, just above personal protective equipment. Elimination, substitution and engineering controls all fall above it.

Guards on the trucks to stop cars going under are an engineering control and also perhaps a substituion - you go from decapitation to driving into a wall instead. It's better than no guards and just expecting drivers to be alert - that's administration - but it's worse than elimination which is what you need if you provide a system where the driver is encouraged to be inattentive.

User alertness is a very fucking difficult problem to solve and an extremely unreliable hazard control. Never rely on it, ever. That's what they're doing here and it was only a matter of time that this happened. It's irresponsible engineering.

edit: My source for the above: I work in rail. We battle with driver inattention constantly because like autopilot, you don't steer but you do have to be in control. I could write novels on the battles we've gone through just to keep drivers paying attention.

> the term "organic" is regulated by the USDA.

I think the point the previous poster was making is that even though it's regulated, there are so many black boxes that it's rather easy to sneak in a violation and no one notices (whether the company is doing it or it's accidental). Just look at how many organic product recalls happen in any given year due to various causes.
