I just wanted to come here and show some respect for religious communities that work very hard to help people and the world become a better place.

Why specifically religious communities? As long as someone is doing good in the world, what difference does it make? People deserve respect so long as they themselves respect others.

That said, if they provide charity or other services while pushing their religious beliefs on folks, as is often the case for proselytizing religions (I'm looking at you World Vision), then they lose my respect. My spiritual beliefs should not be held hostage in exchange for charity.

In many (most?) US jurisdictions, bodycam video is cloud-hosted by Taser.[0]

I don't have direct experience, but I'd bet Taser doesn't let podunk police departments really "erase" video. And given the volume, you'd think it's got to be built on AWS or another big cloud provider, with pretty good forensic tools.

Your claim about fractional reserve banking creating more Bitcoins is wrong. The banking system doesn't create central bank money it creates a claim to it.

Fractional reserve banking oesn't create coins or notes, it creates credit (or bank money). These credit (IOUs) are liabilities of the bank that are denominated in central bank money (central bank liabilities). When a bank makes a loan this does not in any way affect the central banks balance sheet -there are no changes in the liability side of its balance sheet.

When the loan is withdrawn, this still won't cause a change in the liabilities of the central bank. Other than what bank owns what liability at the central bank. (But even this isn't necessary. It depends on what type of payment the customer made with the loan and what payment system it was cleared through: if it went through a gross settlement system or a multilateral net system,etc.).

The supply of central bank money is dependent on how central banks implement monetary policy. Everywhere in the world (and what has probably always been the case) central banks will supply as much of central bank money as is demanded from the banking system.

Fractional reserve banking will when the bank credit is denominated in Bitcoin doesn't create more Bitcoin, it just creates more claims in Bitcoin. The supply of Bitcoin is independent from this.
Yeah, the fundamental question here is if we really want, given the current state of technology, to have these massive-scale automated operations.

I'm fairly ambivalent about many aspects there. Fake news is nothing new, it's at least as old as pubs and people in them spreading false rumors, but what's new is the expectation that there'd be a channel that would somehow protect people from it. But I do find the desire to disclaim responsibility for helping propagate malware, fraud, and certain types of content to be very distasteful.
Again, no. I reject your absolutism. To say that someone is not a proponent of free speech because they don't believe those things are part of it is completely inane.

We will never agree on this topic. In the example you give, I do not see why either is acceptable, and I don't see why both are not a threat of violence. Someone being bombarded with messages like that is not going to see much of a difference.

You're also ignoring the silencing effect the speech you're defending has on other groups. Few people are going to stick around somewhere that those things are commonplace. Thus, that community is censoring and silencing other groups.

Not in the case of rents.

That's a key reason they're so markedly different from other goods.

Incidentally, your username and curiosity prompted me to check to see if Hazlitt's infamous little book makes any mention at all of either rents or monopoly. It doesn't.

I find that quite interesting.

The problem is that the Atlantic publishes very selective data.

Yes police officers have higher rates than the average, but you know who has higher than even those wife beating cops? Men that work in "demeaning jobs" or professions that are attributed traditionally to women like clerks, secretaries, teacher/classroom aides and maids/helpers.

The vast majority of those articles boil down to a handful of studies the one linked below is probably the most commonly referenced.

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1741-3737.2002....

And yes most police officers are decent and professional people, but there isn't such thing as being universally decent and any person is capable of the utmost indecency.

And you know what they say about so many intimate partner abuse cases? he/she was the nicest person in the world I would never think they would be capable of it....

People that abuse their partner more often than not do it as a release mechanism rather than their normal pattern of behaviour.
> I think people get a skewed perception of the police force from a relatively small number of highly publicized incidents.

What is this statement based on? Can you provide any data? What about people - whole communities in many places, over generations - who claim to be persecuted continuously by police. Are those people making it up? The people protesting in St Louis - what are they spending all that time and energy on if there is no problem?

This issue has been discussed heavily; I think more 'IMHOs' don't add to what we know about it.

I don't know how to be an orthopedic surgeon. The closest thing I've had to medical training was a first aid and CPR class. What I do know is that if an orthopedic surgeon, upon first seeing an overweight patient complaining of hip pain says "lay off the cheeseburgers and your hip will be fine, you fat slob", that doctor is doing a bad job. Not only is it hostile and rude, it fails to attempt to adequately understand the situation before rushing to judgement.

I do know a little about how to be a police officer. I went to school for it, but decided that wasn't what I want to do with my life. Accusing a complainant of lying right off the bat without any investigation when the complaint is anything more believable than an alien abduction, then having the evidence of your rudeness deleted is not how to be a good cop. I don't think it really takes much training or experience to reach that conclusion.

Don't forget: Google etc already gets a ton of criticism for their use of manual screening as it is - it burns people out, gives them 'PTSD', is exploitative, etc. So to account for turnover, psychiatric healthcare benefits, extra salary (remember overhead is as much as salary), and figure you would have to double that cost to eliminate criticism (not that it would but let's say it did). That actually would be larger than Google's total profits.

Musical notation is really interesting, a bit like mathematical notation. There's really only one standard way of doing it, both relatively recent, and both having histories going back thousands of years.

There's a few oddball variants that survive, and almost all ancient systems just used strings of characters from whatever the local writing system was to represent the music, but did so imprecisely. Few of the systems even provided absolute pitch guides or timing and provided more of a sketch of the tune than a high precision description.

For fun, try to come up with your own system from first principals without arriving at something that's kind of like what we use today and can still compactly describe just about any kind of music. Try the same with math notation. It's both hard and fun!

I'm glad that they put in the avant guard entry, but a few musicians also have various kinds of shorthand. Here's an entry on Yanni's.

Curious what you mean by eaten alive. Historically manufacturing was a sign of power and prestige, but now it's been commoditized in favor of financial markets and real estate, which is going fine in Oz. Countries that make things sell them for pieces of paper (or electronic bits) that aren't backed by anything except their and their countries marketability.

The next wave of AI-driven manufacturing will decentralize things and you may well see this plant re-opened, albeit without people.

It's also possible though that I'm getting a selection bias of the kindest Christians who are the type that not only go to church but go volunteer with Habitat because the church is doing it

Yes. You are.

I also think that there are relatively few institutions that promote virtuous, pro-social behavior with the effective and long-term viewpoint that a church can.

You mean, aside from, you know, the family unit, schools, the boy and girl scouts (yes, I realize there's a light religious component to those organizations but they are not, themselves, religious institutions), secular charity organizations...

Frankly, being blunt, your entire comment reeks of bias against atheists... which shouldn't be too surprising. In the US, atheists and rapists are seen as equally trustworthy.

The idea that a secular society can't "promote virtuous, pro-social behavior with the effective and long-term viewpoint" is patently absurd. And that religion unquestionably does so is equally absurd.

It's ironic, as Canada and Europe are far less religious than the US, yet far more "virtuous", providing far more in terms of support for the poor, the elderly, and the family unit, among other things.

But yes... religion, clearly that's the way to build a virtuous society...
The problem is with situations like where our President tweets gifs promoting violence against people and news organizations, or attempts to instigate nuclear war via Tweet. Trump is obviously a gold mine for Twitter right now from both a growth and ad revenue standpoint (not even getting into the bot side of things), so they have a very vested interest in looking the other way.

There's also a lot of dangerous precedent that could be set if they were to block the POTUS.

So do we just say "no violent speech unless you've somehow managed to get elected"?
Because based on every study while police officers, soldiers and other people that are put in stressful and life threatening situations do exhibit higher rates of abuse men that work at jobs that hurt their ego are even more prominently represented and unlike police officers, soldiers and emergency services personnel they don't have a PTSD just a small dick problem.

Is it a mistake though to think of people as machines?

Our muscles and joints and bones and tendons and stuff that move us around, even though biological in origin is very much a mechanical machine.

noun:
an apparatus using or applying mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task.

I don't get why would we suppose our cognitive functions to be any more than the result of physical phenomenon at some level. Especially when we know a little bit about the specifics (i.e drugs, brain surgery etc.).

Just because a machine is complicated or of personal interest doesn't make it any less a machine so I'm not sure this is a mistake.

Perhaps thinking the machine is simple enough to understand or that a frame of reference for objective understanding is possible may be mistakes though.

Ask HN: How do I find a freelance graphic designer?
Hi HN,

I'm currently in the very first stages of founding my company, and I need some graphic design work done.

If you google for "how to find a freelance graphic designer", the results are either all noise from freelancer.com/99design style shops, or blog posts from designers complaining about the former.

A little math suggest the expected value of entering a design contest is sub $10, so I can see why designers may have a gripe.

Then occasionally I stumble across a blog of a freelancer, but the art work doesn't fit the style I'm looking for.

Ideally I'd find someone to work with longer term.

Is there some aggregator of designer portfolios somewhere?

Thanks.
The linked article is about errors in facts that were part of the Court's decision making process.

The criticism you are making is about how the Court interpreted the law, which is a fundamentally different sort of error.

There are multiple theories of constitutional interpretation, and there is no broad consensus among Supreme Court Justices for which to use . Only some of them involve trying to discern the authors' intent.

In Wickard, I can't find any reference to the intent of the authors of the Constitution, so I don't believe this is a case of a factual error.

Note that I'm not disagreeing with your conclusion.

There's also `cd foo bar` in zsh, which substitutes foo with bar in the name of $PWD. I rarely used it, and when I do, it's usually for a well known pair of lengthy named dirs, yet it also shaves off a couple of keystrokes pretty much daily for me.

> to get us all to collectively act like the constitution says something different than the plain words on the paper.

That is itself an interpretation; those words aren't nearly as plain as you're pretending they are, they're intentionally vague, that's the only reason the constitution is so short. Legalese developed precisely because it's not at all simple to write something that's plain, clear, and not open to interpretation.
I'm not entirely sure if mastodon.social has published any policy clarifying how and under what circumstances they apply instance bans. There are two ways administrators can block other instances on Mastodon:

Silence: Posts from users of these instances are only visible to users following that user directly, but not in public timelines.

Suspend: All posts from users of these instances are always removed, even if you follow them directly.

I would suspect that most admins stick with the first option for almost all bans. That said, users who are concerned about this should stick to instances with a broad interpretation of free speech.

For whatever reason, this reminded me of Catch-22

“His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce. Major Major's father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbours sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counselled one and all, and everyone said “Amen.”
>There is a decent privacy argument to be made against body cams. Not just for the officers themselves, but also for the people approached by the officers. In many cases, when police need to get involved people aren't showing their best sides. Recordings of that kind of stuff are rather sensitive.
