> The alternative is to let no-nazis, white supremacists publish articles unfettered about the evils and inferiorities of Blacks and Jews so they can win supporters

Then let them. If you try and censor their views then you give them credibility and people think "well there must be something to this ideology if the establishment doesn't want me to access this information". Better to let them spout their nonsense for everyone to see, and then contrast it with a more logical position.
I think last time I ran the numbers I concluded that Troubles Belfast in the 1970s (troops on the streets, authorised to use deadly force consistent with rules of engagement, versus actual armed terrorists, plus loyalist militias engaging in terrorism of their own) was still safer than 80s Detroit.
> It is in a US legal sense

You'll need to cite that. It is not in any jurisdiction I'm aware of considered to be a "machine gun". "Readily converted" is a legal term that is defined by the BATFE, and AR-15s are saleable to the public expressly because they are NOT considered readily convertible to firing multiple rounds.

If they were, they would be barred from regular sale per the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act. As an AR-15 does not require a tax stamp, it is not legally considered a machine gun. Nor is it fully automatic, easily converted to fully automatic, nor capable of select fire.
> But in a future where robots sound and objects look increasingly sentient, we might be less inclined to seek out behaviors to abate our loneliness. Indeed, one recent study titled "Products as pals" found that exposure to or interaction with anthropomorphic products — which have characteristics of being alive — partially satisfy our social needs, which means the human-like robots of tomorrow could kill our dwindling urge to be around other humans.

So basically Chobits was right all along.

Don't try the "excluded middle" trick on me. Rationality is not an all-or-nothing proposition. Literally nobody is 100% rational or 100% irrational. The question is where the balance lies; "crazy" is an apt term for someone who is only rational in limited ways or for a small percentage of the time.
How small is small?
I'm not sure it's socialistic, I think it's more anti-cronyism and anti-regulatory capture. but hey, I could be projecting my hopes/dreams like so many disappointed Obama cheerleaders before me.

In any event, the party/candidate that comes up and can execute a plan to aid the middle class (or least keep them getting pushed around), should rule the roost.

If Trump/Brexit/France showed us anything, it's that big money in politics has hit the point of diminishing returns and one-man, one-vote may not be completely dead.

> So here's the thing. Social Security (SSDI) is a system you pay into.

SSDI is Social Security Disability Insurance, which part of Social Security but not the same as Social Security (the main part is the Old Age and Survivors part); if you need an abbreviariation for the whole thing, I guess you could use the OASDI that typically appears on paystubs.

> When you retire or become disabled, the amount of benefits you are eligible for is related to the amount you pay in, which is a percentage of your income.

The annual benefits are calculated like that, but rich people also—as even the title of the source article here ("The Rich Are Living Longer and Taking More From Taxpayers") points out—live longer, making their total benefits higher compared to their share of contributions than looking at annual benefit calculations would suggest, and the life expectancy gap is growing, increase the relative share of benefits going to wealthier beneficiaries.
>And why shouldn't they?

Because one person (cop or not, doesn't matter) breaking the law over here doesn't in any way justify unreasonable harassment of another person (cop or not) over there?

Let me put it another way, how is this behavior intended to improve policing in America, and do you think it has a chance of doing so?
His reasons for filming the police are still irrelevant. His methods of doing so are relevant.
Linkedin is really terrible.

You are constantly spamed by career 'advices', recruiters, life coaches and people bragging about their work-related achievements... Its really difficult to find any interesting content there. I tend to spend no more than 10 seconds on it, unless I need to respond to a (recruiter) message.
Feels like the only people getting anything out of Linkedin are those who are new to their respective fields, and need to network a bit and maybe land a new job. Otherwise, it feels like waste of Internet bandwidth.

Frankly I have such a low opinion about Linkedin, that I'm amazed that nobody came up with an alternative yet. Maybe its the whole 'professional social network' concept that feels weird to me? While I socialize with my colleagues on regular basis, I dont want _work_ to be at the center of my socialization. I prefer to talk to people about other things in their lives.
It's often seen as an advantage of React that it's just a view library and not a framework. But if you want to build any reasonable kind of modern web app, you'll need those extra elements like routing and state management. You effectively must piece together your own framework and the cognitive overhead of this is huge. At least for the first time anyway.
Why do you use a year old version of Chrome? You're just exposing yourself to dozens of public vulnerabilities.
Random advice from the internet.

Sit down and discuss the future.

1. Discuss the financial prospects of the company.
2. Discuss future products/business lines
3. Discuss each of your professional goals
4. Discuss each of your personal goals
5. Discuss how you can both help each other achieve those things.
6. Decide if you want to try to work things out.

Pointing to a document would not solve the problem. At that point you're already lawyering up and curtailing dialog and arguing over who gets what share of the present rather than building a bigger future.

Starting to make money is a change and change is stressful and starting to make money is an inflection point for the company and neither of you has experience dealing with that. If the company is successful things will continue to change and this is an opportunity to gain experience in dealing with change together.

Good luck.
I've had highly dosed NBOMe (not by accident) which came on tiny blotters. Size is never a good gauge
Linkedin is a lead generation machine. You can outreach pretty much anybody from any industry. People are usually open and as long as you don't spam them, you can start conversation with anybody and showcase your expertise. I have an account for 10 years and only last year I saw the value of it. I used to get a lot of spam and job offers from recruiters, but it has going down. Also, I recommend creating an email just for it because as soon as you add people they can see your email address.

An offset from a certain point in time without a time zone might be better described as an abstract point in time? Given such Date-s A, B, C you could order them (with potential overlap) and talk about how far apart they were) - but would need to convert via the help of a timezone to get a concrete point in time?

I wasn't trying to take sides. One set of people were doing their jobs, another person was doing something without thinking about consequences. I don;t hold this opinion in general, for example when someone videotapes police in a city street.

Several people were pissed off about privacy violations when Google glass was becoming popular. I'm trying to apply the same principle here. Yes, ideally the guy shouldn't have died, but if I have to take sides I'm supporting the cops doing their jobs over the person doing something without full knowledge of the situation. Shoot first, ask later, was a perfectly good response in this situation, IMO.
Considering the US is one of the only developed countries not to have some sort of socialized health care, I don't believe it's not doable. The US lags behind on critical metrics like life expectancy and infant mortality. Waiting lists are only getting longer with the consolidation of healthcare into large systems. And that consolidation is driven by doctors leaving private practice because the margins are so thin that the business model doesn't work. Healthcare does not work for anyone in the US except maybe pharmaceuticals and equipment manufacturers and it does work elsewhere.
Honestly many developers don't have freedom to experiment with new things on their own. I got web project, I'm thinking, well, it's a good time to try out React, I've heard it's cool. I'm convincing my manager, if necessary and I'm starting to build production project without any prior React or Redux or whatever knowledge. I'm not going to do it step by step, no. I'm grabbing everything and trying to bundle it all together. I know, that my app will need state, so I'm using Redux. I know, that my app will need routing, so I'm using router. And my experience is similar to author's, I had a lot of troubles to even get build setup working. I guess, it's more about javascript development tools, not specifically about React, but point stands still. And if I'm understanding, that I just got buried under pile of things, I'll throw it out, rewrite everything on Angular I know and love and forget about it for a few years, until it matures and I could try it again, hopefully with less troubles.

If you've got a lot of free time and want to tinker a lot, that's a good advice. Pick simple project, make it with simplest setup, introduce additional dependencies, rewrite the project, and so on. But not everyone wants to learn without being paid for it.
Do you have any reason beyond "inequality!"? ( https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-04-20/-fight-in... ).

I found it from one of your previous replies:

> There shouldn't be a 100x factor between the lowest and highest salary. There's no degree of merit that should guarantee that privilege.

> Merit doesn't scale linearly, if I wanted to use your language, but there's no reason income should follow the same model.

Which is interesting, because it assumes pay is based on merit, but that it shouldn't necessarily mirror merit. I believe that's a consistent world view; but, to me at least, it's not obviously The One Correct View.
unfortunately for me, I'm such a cynic that I sort of have an inverted placebo effect. I think it's been coined as "nocebo"
For the other end of the spectrum see the GWT ecosystem. It can be really difficult to find out what's the right way to build something sometimes.
The news article was wrong, it wasn't a machine gun. It was a semi-automatic rifle, hardly different than the rifle that Anders Breivik used to kill scores of people in Norway.

An example of actual machine guns used would be the rifles used by French citizens to kill over a hundred people in the Bataclan theater (AKMs). They also used hand grenades and high explosive (TATP) suicide belts. In the Charlie Hebdo attacks, besides machine guns they also had an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade).
Well the person they were arresting was not quite normal. At least some part of your comparison is incorrect.
Uber responds to report that it tracked devices after its app was deleted
It's very popular, since most Americans don't have anything significant in savings for retirement.

"Eight in 10 Americans think Social Security has been good for the country, with 70 percent of young adults agreeing and almost nine in 10 senior citizens saying the same."

From their privacy policy:

"We collect such commercial transactional messages so that we can better understand the behavior of the senders of such messages, and better understand our customer behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising. We may disclose, distribute, transfer, and sell such messages...." [emphasis mine]

Of course they might not sell your messages, but it's pretty weird that they'd put up a "we totally can sell your vaguely anonymized messages" and then not take advantage of it. What they sell to Uber may not be what they make available to you.

Even if they don't currently, they could start doing so at any time. And even if you somehow trusted them not to, they could get bought out by someone not so trustworthy.
"It turns out that MPTCP sockets are allocated using a slab cache. I found this out early on, but forgot about it nearly as soon as I found out."

The real problem isn't linked lists. It's that the author learned how something worked (the spec), forgot about that, and then essentially coded against the wrong spec. The title might have instead been: "I forgot something and broke a kernel." Much more accurate given people who know they're dealing with slab allocators, linked lists, etc usually use them correctly. They can also sleep a bit better instead of being up until 3am debugging.
They wont. I've microdosed daily for 30 days and the next day was completely normal. Very, very happy and content, maybe.
Rich white women seem to benefit substantially at the expense of middle-income black men, specifically, too.

The racial disparity in life expectancy is bad on its own, but has a financial impact here.

(And women live longer, plus often end up with a superior amount of SS to what they've earned themselves due to spousal benefit, including survivor benefit. That is one of the overt goals of the system, though, and probably broadly supported.)
The official docs are good. Create React App is great for getting started with minimal overhead. This very article is a remarkably restrained and informative reply. The React team is doing a good job.

That's the specific part I guess, not "the AR 15".

Once it has been modified to full automatic fire the ease of conversion also isn't relevant.
Was it Howard Zinn or Noam Chomsky who described these types of arguments as: "fighting over the scraps".

The point being that we are missing the bigger picture - the massive bulk of the money is going to the rich and we need to fix that problem. Then there will be plenty of money for Social Security - and it will be possible to fix it.
Haven't read the work, but it appears that Project Gutenberg has a freely available version.

Here's an idea- give people with a certain income the option to not pay into SS with the obvious consequence of not being able to collect. Make this option available to people at a certain age or less (maybe 40), so that those closer to retirement don't get hosed after having paid in for most of their working lives.
The disproportion isn't in Social Security benefits consumption. The disproportion is in lifespan, and the difference in benefits consumption is a side effect thereof, because of the way Social Security is defined to work.

I'm not sure that it actually helps anything to cast it in the cart-before-horse way the article does.
Nope! I'm still learning to say potentially offensive things in a non-offensive way, so maybe that didn't come across well.

(Unless you are sarcastically saying that I must be trying irony.)
Because police routinely go right into the middle of situations that are already unsafe. That's their job. Additional persons getting involved unnecessarily in those situations is a random factor that is unlikely to make those situations safer.
Because they don't properly escape things everywhere (anywhere?) and the DB update button is a kludge to deal with existing messed up data breaking pages they don't know about.

It was probably less than an hours work to add that button vs. hundreds of hours to track down all the unescaped outputs.
Caffeine is much more similar to Amphetamines–which actually aren't that dissimilar, chemically. That includes wakefulness and positive mood, but also nervousness, rapid heartbeat, irritability etc. Ever worked through a night drinking energy drinks (the sugar helps) and been wide awake the next day? That's how amphetamines feel.

LSD is actually a much more relaxed experience. It's like working on something you really enjoy, on a sunny afternoon with no deadlines in sight, listening to jazz and sipping an iced cappuccino.
I'm afraid I can't do that because of proprietary data. I think I can come up with analogous tests using open data. I'll let you know ;)

A lot of manual work with various perf tools.

What's a bit missing is some production performance monitoring (APM) that gives you such data, with no manual interaction.
> Few irrational people attain position of power and even fewer retain it.

Few overall, but if there were zero the world might be a much happier place than it actually is. Given the effect that such people have, even that small number is significant, and the numbers get larger among children of dictators whose parents bequeathed them a massive security apparatus.

Um, no, it's on the OP and anyone who takes their side. That's how this really works.

> Because Google doesn't use Rust in its code bases?

This is not true. There are even bindings written in Rust for Magneta kernel in fuchsia.

> Is this supposed to be taken as Google engineers have infinite wisdom on how to build kernels and therefore we should copy what makes sense for them?

Main benefit of using Rust (memory safety) is probably not high enough comparing to eventual costs - that's why they don't use it in kernel. You make bold claims about decisions of fuchsia developers.
I've checked your comments but only small percentage of them are technical and only saw that you write about yourself as "javascript programmer".
What's your expertise in building kernels and operating systems that you think we should not copy it? How many kernels and operating systems did you built? I assure you that this team have a lot more wisdom than you and me combined in this space. Have a little respect.

> and there are lots of explanations for why it is in C other than C is better than Rust.

No one proved that Rust is better for writing kernel to this day because there are 0 kernels written in Rust used in high scale production systems today. Until this will change, C is proven to work in this space and considering that - it's better/safer choice there today.
Well on a 64-bit machine each node of a singly-linked list of integers will be 16 bytes (8 byte pointer + 4 byte integer + 4 byte for padding). That's 300% overhead. Becomes 500% for doubly-linked lists.

So it's not surprising that linked lists perform very poorly in such circumstances.
Even if that behavior is questionable, there is at least merit in raising the argument of parity. If it is unreasonable for this man to behave like that, then why is it reasonable for men vested with the authority to enforce the law for the peace of society?

If we can succeed in proving that this man's behavior is contradictory with what we want for society, then it should follow that the same applies to the police force.
A lot of astronauts had a pretty life changing experience when looking at the earth from cosmos. So much so that there a name for this phenomena called "the overview effect" [1]

I've been surrounded by cops a few times when I was younger.

Once I was taking a guy home, plus a couple of his friends. He lived in a housing complex. I got surrounded by cops with guns and drug dogs. They insisted that it was a crack-infested area (public housing) and they found out, "white people do it too". I was let go, but I don't know what happened afterwards.

Another time - I'm not even sure why I was pulled over. I was sitting in a park and a park employee told me the park was closed and I had to leave. Nevermind the dude and his son looking in the telescope or the sign saying it was closed a couple hours later in the evening. Anyhow, I eventually left and had the guy following closely, flashing his headlights behind me. Not knowing the park well, I ran over a small patch of grass. But I left. A little down the road, I was pulled over and surrounded by cops, guns drawn. I still have no clue why this was the case. They pulled the person I was with out and talked to them seperately, but in the end let us go.

My ex tried to commit suicide. One of the cops told me it was part my fault, commented on my messy house, swore there was a meth lab there, and wanted to search my house. The ex wound up being schizo-affective, and years later I still hate that cop.

I've never quite understood this stuff. I suppose racism had a bit to do with it, as I've never really cared what color skin someone had, but it doesn't explain the last story. The worst thing I did back then was smoke pot. I've never even had a speeding ticket nor been in a fistfight. Ever.

In stark contrast, I've had my bags searched coming back to Norway from Amsterdam and got treated like a person. I've never been so relaxed around a cop. It was weird. And I don't feel like a target as much here like I did in the states.
Is that because the term applies to neither, or to both?
