One thing with all of this which puzzles me as a non-American, how does the "acceptance" of people getting killed by the police fit together with the whole anti-gorvernment thing which seems fairly common in the US as well?
One would think that if one does not like the government, one would be extremely upset about the gouvernment randomly killing people. But for some reason this does not seem to be the case.

It's a good question. As a half-American with something of a background in political science, let me offer the following.

The free market liberal ideas, mixed with a sort of pioneer spirit that historically existed here (and still in much of the rural areas of the U.S.), carry with it an arguably consistent ideology:

- Independence from government in the realm of strong market regulations, price controls and so forth, particularly property rights.

- A government whose role is to minimize taxation but to protect said property rights.

It's a logical fact that you can't protect property rights without violence, due to the unequal nature of property ownership and the class system that comes from it. Historically, police start to make an appearance in such societies, as it makes more sense to have the State perform this activity than have each individual hire or join their own private militias or pay protection money to some organization.

That's the best way I can think to explain this discrepancy, which to a European sounds totally contradictory. You say you don't like the State's influence, but when the State does the worst it can do, kill citizens, you do nothing?

It has to do with free market capitalism not existing without a state having basic functions: protection from external threats at the national level, and enforcement of property rights via a legal system and an enforcer of this legal system. I.e. Police.

I know what you meant, but I think it's helpful to talk about "trendy" in the context that matters: something popular that will either widen the competitive moat for existing customers, or bring in new customers that are soon to graduate into wanting enterprise support from a VMWare or a Microsoft.

VMWare is an interesting possibility! Docker seems like it would cannibalize too much of their existing product line, but VMWare's existing products are already kind of self-cannibalizing. (This is why many engineers find the enterprise market so confusing. Nobody differentiates products well, because past a certain size, networks of human relationships [sales, support, etc.] matter more than branding.)

But from that "good for us" perspective, VMWare looks as bad as Oracle these days. I would still "vote" for Microsoft.
I see a lot of deliverymen around here with beefy e-bikes who never pedal. The question of whether you can pedal seems academic if you never do. These e-bikes I'm talking about are functionally identical to electric mopeds (same power and speed capabilities); they just have pedals that go unused instead of a footrest.

The law recognizes this too, which is why e-bikes are primarily regulated by power output or top speed.
Urban biking is certainly much much scarier and stressful for me than driving is. While I have to vie with cars, I’d rather be a car.
Having seen the video, it looked more like he was trying to shield his eyes from the light the police was shining directly at him _from across the street_. I don't know why this isn't reported more accurately, they shot the guy from what looks like a good 20-30 meters away.
Right, most of these calls are designed to provoke no-knock forcible entry... "hostages actively being threatened", "domestic violence in progress", etc.
This is useful.

Isn't there a registry where you can opt to not be disturbed there? We have it here and I signed up, and calls eventually stopped. I also love terrorizing spam callers with "give me your name and company name, this call is illegal". They usually get flustered and hang up.
> There is no way Facebook can satisfy the competing demands of different political factions and their own users so the more they capitulate to political demands the more users they will drive away and the more radical the demands on them will become.

Yep. This is why FB, GOOGL, etc needed to be "neutral". The day they caved in is the day their "promise" ended. The demands of censorship will continue. FB is deluding themselves if they think this is a one time deal. And not only that, other countries will start barring FB/GOOGL/etc when it becomes apparent that they are essentially biased political tools.

It is a travesty of the Rule of Law.
Despite the rise of Kubernetes, it's not for every use case and far from it. Docker Swarm and Docker Compose are extremely valuable with small deployments and development. It's by the far the easiest and simplest way to get a cluster up and running.

How do you even measure it. What's the metric. How do you classify it as good or bad. It was clearly short-sighted and the government even failed to account the size of the new currency notes and the inconvenience caused by it. All that was achieved was dip in the GDP and the loss of lives.

Contrary to the popular belief that BTC purports money laundering, it can actually mitigate the problem of black money and money laundering. The governments all around the world should try to keep up and they should themselves establish a separate think tank/research arm/department for blockchain and cryptocurrency space.

"Programmers", sure. But for a professional, degreed practitioners let's have some proper education please. What the heck is so hard about a bit of 17th C. mathematics anyway? Or are we talking about more advanced topics like "Analysis" (19th C.)? Either way, I don't want a dumbed down low wage profession.

By the way, I am wondering if you had some bad teachers who themselves failed to fully understand calculus. Good teachers make all the difference.
What does "brittle" mean that "risky" doesn't? I don't think we need a new word here.

It mystifies me why you believe anyone thinks the shooting was justified. Literally NO ONE has said that. Please try to engage with the actual debate instead of making up strawmen to attack.
The argument is Docker is the company, and that company is in the best case going to be acquired (go away gracefully) or melt away. The technology is immortalized in Moby.

The article doesn't make a concluding prognostication about Moby vis-à-vis Kubernetes but very clearly thinks the momentum is behind Kubernetes because of the incoherent strategy behind Moby (other than as a means to throw the technology a life line beyond the fate of Docker).
Don't forget overtime pay.
I'm not pretending that it didn't do anything to connect people. It did. In my anecdote the friends who stopped calling around started using Facebook to organize our activities together. But therein was the problem for me: nobody had to actively maintain relationships that way. Socializing became a spectator sport. Passive. It became anti-social.

But prior to its existence I still had plenty of friends and we socialized quite a lot using existing technology. It just seems like the Facebook hype-train carried us along and abandoned protocols for services. And the centralization brought along everything with it: the need for users and stickiness sucked up a lot of effort that could've been spent elsewhere but wasn't.

So I wonder what the Internet would be like today if instead we had developed the protocols to work around their short-comings rather than went on the path we did, that's all.
I think people are biased towards things that required (or contain some form of) some input from their side.

Robert Cialdini, in his famous book - "Psychology of persuasion", talks about an extreme version of such an effect in the case of Fraternities and Hazing where the members of fraternities display a greater commitment and respect towards their respective fraternity even though they might have had to go through a harsh and humiliating initiation process.

In this sense, IKEA effect, "find" effect, "my kid is the best" effect etc can all be traced to a common ancestor phenomena.
Can I just say, it seems weird to me that that bike doesn't have disc brakes given its intended uses for bike camping? How does it handle long descents and/or rain? The serious bike camping bikes that I've seen have both disc brakes and caliper brakes, for redundancy and ability to handle long declines under heavy load that might burn out just a single set of calipers.

The purpose of the shoot was to determine whether a galloping horse ever lifts all four feet completely off the ground during the gait; at this speed, the human eye cannot break down the action.

That’s ridiculously interesting, but is it really comparable to a walking speed human? Sounds more like an issue with the human eye than older paintings in general
Yo! This is what I'm talkin' about! Replace directories with self-consistent neural nwots [neural blackbox thingie of weights and activation vals]. It's cool, but for every convenience we take in the direction HD space we backpeddle in processing [meaning, although the dir structure could be super condensed this way with a learned index, this approach is less flexible to cold or not-cpu-related analysis]. It's very cool actually to consider the three branches of processing, hdd, and memcache ... You want to have a balance but in the ideal computer we do no calculation, and that is something worth mentioning.

Reading again of the abstract, allow me to add that it's an optimization beyond structures such as Btrees which are already not really decipherable datasets to the naked eyes. So any optimization in a space that's not designed to be human-legible can take whatever shape, and this is certainly a welcome achievement!

The police, particularly in the US, seem to be quite fond of shooting people who are laying face down on the ground, or otherwise clearly not a threat. It isn't so clear how we are expected to act in an effort to reach the goal of avoiding death during a police encounter.

The nature of clickbait titles is that they instill a misleadingly false, exaggerated, or ambiguous narrative that is not matched by the content. This title is ambiguous, and has lead many of us on with the more enticing (controversial) narrative that containerization is dead. It doesn't matter what is in the content.
Somehow police in the rest of developed world are able to resist shooting a great deal of suspects on the spot. Find what's different in America and fix it.
> So you are saying the event horizon for police brutality is closer than that of the citizens willingness to move the goalpost for how violent things should/could/can be?

I would say so yes, if you mean that I put the "police brutality" bar lower than the "citizen on citizen" brutality (assuming levels go up).

> To me, as a technologist, this is a problem that can be solved, "can" being the key word.

Of course it can, other countries have done so in the past, the issue has never been about ability, always will. And in the US specifically, the ability to shoot other people has always been a privilege, only to be relinquished if the "wrong" people move towards accessing it.

Every time that subject comes up, I wonder whether the fastest way to get nationwide gun buyback & control in the US would be to have a program massively train and (legally) arm black communities. After all, that's pretty much how gun control passed in Cali, authored by a republican, with support of the NRA, signed by a republican governor who stated

It is, but I don't think I did here. I'm saying it's bad for the planet because of the ecological cost of making an iphone being artificially pinned to that for a battery, in spite of their having very different lifetimes. If people in general thought those lifetimes should be equal, there would be no uproar to this revelation (the slowing down thing).
For what it's worth, this is the first time I've seen it. Not sure it's fair to call it a strawman though.
> Isn't there a registry where you can opt to not be disturbed there?

There is, and I signed up for it. When I did, I got an order of magnitude more calls. I eventually had to change my phone number.

> I also love terrorizing spam callers with "give me your name and company name, this call is illegal". They usually get flustered and hang up.

That doesn't work on bots.
"better than a computer" isn't really a superlative position in human interaction.
The chapter is not about writing and then testing new PRNGs. A uniform PRNG of sufficient quality for one's purpose is assumed. The key bit:

"Most testers will be concerned with the second step of the grand strategy: testing code that transforms uniform random sequences into sequences with other distributions. Although very few people develop their own uniform generators, many people have reasons to develop custom nonuniform generators."
It's mentioned on Wikipedia that this is more or less the reason, FWIW: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tranquillizer_gun#Military_and...

I'd also add there's the complicating factor of tolerance depending on the agent used (even if it took effect fast enough). Opiates would be a good choice (due to being relatively easily reversible by naloxone), but obviously would have diminished/unpredictable effects on a heavy opiate user. Likewise, benzodiazepines can have a huge range of active doses - a few hundred milligrams of, say, Temazepam could be bad news for a non-user (especially if they've been drinking), but I'm aware of people who have been awake and active despite having double that in their system.
And that’s a horrible problem, but the answer isn’t more senseless violence as payback.
> The amount of willful ignorance displayed on HN regarding law enforcement is staggering.

Speaking as someone in Fire/EMS who has friends who are on SWAT teams, and as someone who has personally trained with SWAT teams for active shooter situations, going into unsecured scenes to remove patients while under the cover of law enforcement... I'm still going to disagree with you, and with the assertion of wilful ignorance. Speaking of which,

> when it is clear there is immediate danger

It evidently wasn't that clear. Even when I go to a structure fire, one of the confirming criteria is "multiple callers". To be clear, "one of", not deciding, or otherwise.
Of course there are scenarios out of our control. In this one particularly the victim walked out of the house and then was shot after he slipped up on one of the commands.

Not to blame the victim, but his mistake lead to their over reaction. My point is even us citizens aren't experienced these situations and some guidance could help.
Nope it doesn't not, requires Edge or Chrome. Feels like IE wars again.
I'd hope we can get away from both armed government and armed citizens
The key fob (or equivalent application on one's phone) is a better option compared to email/SMS based 2FA since the latter is not secure [1] [2]). The latter is still a lot like the half-baked security measures I mentioned in my earlier post.

I still think having certificate/private key imported into my browser as a one-time (or periodic) task more convenient compared to having to use a key fob or soft token from a phone app everytime I have to log in.

If you are a cop in this situation, not the lead officer, a grunt among other grunts. You are told the basic situation is that shots have been fired and women and children are in danger...as are you and your team. There is an ARMED individual in the house. Your police training also tells you there is a split second between you and one of your team getting killed as well. Your team members are also husbands and fathers. Your version of deescalating the situation is to remove the suspect as quickly as possible before anything REALLY bad happens (wife gets killed, kid gets killed, you get killed). These aren't "rage-monsters", they are afraid of what could happen.

Also, it is good to remember, the worst case situation, is what cops often have to deal with. But those cases often don't make the news. Even in my small city, these worst case situations happen.
>It’s counter to everything we’ve been teaching the masses up till now, which is to respect authority, because it’s easy to control them that way.

Wait, what? I see this sort of opinion expressed a lot here and similar places, but it seems to be entirely the opposite of actual reality, at least in the USA. There has actually been a precipitous drop in respect for experts and authority, and the general teaching has been more towards "trusting one's own feelings" and "everyone's opinion is valuable" and other such "self empowerment". There are remaining reservoirs of trust amongst the public for certain classes of experts, but even then it's common that the public doesn't actually understand what the opinion of those experts is (ie., global warming denialists amongst the public may genuinely think scientific opinion is divided).

In modern society what I think what might be strongly helpful for every citizen beyond a base level of knowledge (like probability and statistics, economics and political theory) and their own specific area of expertise is not general "skepticism" so much as more training in thinking about how to evaluate what authorities are trustworthy. It's impossible to move through a world where the total sum of human knowledge is going into or well into a J-curve without extensive use Argument From Authority, which remember is not a logical fallacy so much as the weakest but also most scalable form of argument. Any tech person should be very familiar with this because it's ubiquitous in our field, we have to depend on trust up and down the stack, but that doesn't mean there aren't ways to test that. We use trees and webs of trust, sample verification, transparency, and so forth. That same sort of thinking though applies elsewhere.

It's not about "control", respecting good authority is critically important. What's needed is to help people with techniques to figure out what is a "good authority", how to continually reevaluate that as necessary, and how to hold authority to account and how to swap out mistaken or degraded choices with superior ones.
Data warehousing is one obvious application: data is immutable; have a sort key. So NN as a builtin once index structure is perfect for such case. It is only a matter of time for commercial analytic DB to pick up this idea, I would presume.
No, technology is "docker." Containerisation is a family of technologies, but things like runc or - especially - LXC are quite different.
I like how quantifiable these are!

Not a great comfort when you are trying to get to work.

And in my experience, after several hours at work, the wind dies down or changes direction by the time I want to go home.

I would expect the greater mass of the motorized bicycle to help the rider stay grounded.
I could not find the information directly, but I found some historical figures for GDP[1]

The figures I quoted above are in 1946 USD.

The figures quoted in the spreadsheet referenced are in "million 1990 International Geary-Khamis dollars" (IGKD)

So the spreadsheet in 1946:

USA: $1,305,357 IGKD
Den: $23,690 IGKD

So Denmark's GDP was 1.8148% of the USA's.

Or in reference to the USA's GDP of 1946 being $228M, Denmark's was merely $4.14M.

$100M in 1946 would have been a staggering amount of money, especially in the context and aftermath of WWII. It should also be noted that Denmark was largely untouched by the war, and in 1946 their economy resumed prewar output. This is probably what the leading factor was in turning down the purchase offer, and I generally agree that it was the right decision.

Yeah, some people don't realize that what you want to electrify is more akin to a hardtail mountain bike. You want big sturdy tires that can handle hitting an imperfection in the road at high speed, and front suspension helps for the same reason. Bigger tires allow for better braking, too.

Riding an electrified road bike at 30 mph all the time sounds terrifying and potentially dangerous.
