You may be taking too rigid a notion of CS...a lot of CS programs at least in American Universities are math programs...I got a minor in Applied math merely by declaring my desire for it without any extra classes. I would have gotten a double major in Applied Math and CS if I was willing to spend another semester in undergrad...point being Math and CS are not as far off.
It’s really sad but a lot of things went wrong here. I really hope the person who called in the swatting goes to prison for murder. The person who gave the wrong address, I think they should also get a prison sentence for what they did. Giving an address to someone who they know is trying to do harm, should be illegal, but I’m not sure which law would cover this. Finally, it’s sad how things went with the cops. If cops fear for their life they are going to protect themselves. They just want to go home to their families.

I have no numbers to back this statement up, but one would assume that cops draw their weapons often, and of course we hear about the times when they have to discharge them in stories like this one. I’m not saying all cops make perfect decisions all the time and there are no bad apples in the force. But I’d assume that cops just want to get home to their families safe every night.

One thing the articles references, which I don’t think people grasp yet,is that young people are inclined to create the music in the vein that they listen to. Nowadays, that means music that is entirely synthetic in its sound sources, and production methods. This music is not “performed” it is “programmed.” The expressiveness of music is no longer tied to some kind of real-time activity, generated by human muscle.

The music that dominates the charts simply cannot be performed. A concert of this music is more akin to a pantomimed multimedia presentation.

Because the care and feeding of an actual musician is quite high, I think we are undergoing the end of musicians, as a category. This is the end of an ancient practice. It’s a kind of singularity, of unknown outcomes.

This is not to say there won’t be some musicians, but the cultural weight of this activity is being drastically marginalized.

Performing music with others is a wonderful activity, that provides rewarding connections with others unlike anything else I know. Soon, people won’t know what they are missing.

They lost, what's the big point of discussing them? But I'm pretty sure the numbers are off. During the war you will see similar numbers, but the bulk of Red victims were when the war in fact ended.
You also have two parties, the "government" and the "opposition". They are created after the election. At that point, the voters no longer get any say. The voters don't even know what they will get.

Consider a situation that starts with 12 parties. One gets 45% support, and the others each get 5% support. When the 12 parties merge into the 2 that will actually govern, that party with 45% may be the loser. The other 11 can merge to become a party with 55% of the power. The party which is most popular by far is thus locked out of power.

> There is no such thing as a 'do not SWAT' list

Well, to be fair, most of the world is a 'do not SWAT' list. I know that's not the point you were making, but let's keep things in perspective.
> really, in almost all cases in the US, "assault officers", and we should separate the two concepts, stop hiring new assault officers, and start hiring a new class of less-armed police officers

I don't see police accepting this, and it is hard to not feel kinda hopeless about the situation, since it is linked pretty tightly with the 2nd amendment.

An incredibly difficult - but more possible - response is to raise accountability for police officers and their actions. As it stands now, it is virtually impossible for a police officer to face serious repercussions for shooting someone, no matter how bad it was.

Seven years ago, in Detroit, a SWAT officer threw a flash grenade into the wrong apartment and hit a sleeping seven-year old girl with it, then shot and killed her. He was cleared of any wrongdoing and is still a police officer. In the case of Michael Slager murdering Walter Scott, there was video evidence of him shooting an unarmed man who was running away, then planting evidence on him - jurors refused to convict him, and it wasn't until he pled guilty to other charges that he actually had to serve time.

It feels like these things happen on a weekly basis, and judges and juries are perfectly happy to side with police no matter how egregious the shootings are. We, as a society, have basically said the police can do no wrong when it comes to shooting someone, and the consequence is that a lot of innocent people are getting killed. Until that changes, I don't see how the police will change their practices at all.
My last ICE car was a Mini Cooper JCW 6-speed. Still have it.
I love it for it's power-to-weight ratio and it's "go kart handling".

Besides being a daily driver it's been autocrossed and tracked plenty of times.

I have Miata friends and listen to the way they describe how tossable their cars are with a glimmer in their eye. I've driven their Miatas and I'd take my Mini's handling any day.

My current daily driver is a Model S 100D (not the P100D) and it is insanely fun to drive.

As far as daily drivers go I'd choose the Model S over the Mini 99 days out of 100.

It's over TWICE AS HEAVY as the Mini but that weight is about a foot off the ground, the suspension is more than up to the job of handling 2.5 tons, and it has a near 50/50 weight distribution.

The Mini might corner like a go kart, but the Model S corners like its on rails. I have just as much "fun" driving the Model S around town as the Mini but the effort put in to doing so is a mere fraction.

You present your Miata as a "balanced and good handling car", and I assure you; a competent electric car is 100% both of those things while also being effortless in traffic.

I grew up as a "driver" which is why the Mini is never going anywhere and other enthusiast ICE cars have made their way through my stable over the years. It's why I still choose a manual transmission car where I have to spool up the motor 1 day out of 100. And I don't foresee electric cars being realistic choices for a track day any time in the next 10-15 years.

But anybody who truly believes they aren't already sufficient for 99% of the car-buying public's needs* because they aren't "fun" either hasn't given one a shot or is in irrational denial.

* - Trucks are a different matter, but Musk hopes to change that soon, as well...
Yeah, I go ta segfault when I tried that.
You can't be serious. I hope the swatter spends several years in jail for this.
You'd still feel that way without the money. Don't blow your money.

> For example, while SWAT is gearing up, the operator could ask who is calling and how they learned of the issue.

How exactly would that help? Swatting is by definition fraudulent callers claiming to have firsthand knowledge of an issue -- in this case, he pretended to be a hostage taker.[1]

Better hoax detection training is a fine idea but swatters are determined adversaries. It's going to take more than just asking a couple basic questions. And since real emergencies are often signaled by imperfect and limited inbound information, there is only so much that can be done to filter out false positives. I agree with Krebs that this is primarily a matter of police use-of-force training and stronger action against swatters.[2]

as with software development, people will benefit the most by working with the most experienced, capable, and intelligent teams that they can join. junior and senior is fairly meaningless, it is all about what knowledge, technique, and resources are available for long-term exposure as a motivated 'student' will be able to gain the most from that and achieve greater success for themselves and their organization. I recommend also looking for clues as to how much friction (impediments) there is in how people go about their work on a daily basis.

What is possible?

What is likely to happen?

What is desirable to have happen?

In a sense the first is Science — what is possible.

The second is Engineering — what are the human factors which chose the one future that does happen from the ensemble of all possible futures.

The third, is ethics, morals, or what ever other word you wish to apply to value judgments.

It is important to examine all three questions, and in so far as the second differs from the third, you will probably have an idea of how to alter things to make the more desirable future occur, rather than let the inevitable happen and suffer the consequences.

I found this juxtaposition unsettling:

“I was watching the content of deranged psychos in the woods somewhere who don’t have a conscience for the texture or feel of human connection,”

"...If the managers noticed a few minutes of inactivity, they would ping him on workplace messaging tool Slack to ask why he wasn’t working."

The texture of human connection is severely diminished when you are managing what is essentially a drip-fed trauma survivor remotely using a metric of trauma exposure per minute.

Out of curiosity, what university did you go to? I attended the University of Texas and there was very little overlap between the math and CS curriculums [1].

The classes in common were lower division calculus (8 or 12 hours, depending if you took the condensed accelerated version), linear algebra (3 hours), and probability (3 hours).

Students could of course take more math electives, but you could get a CS degree with just 14 hours of math [2] [3] [4].

[1] https://www.cs.utexas.edu/sites/default/files/images/16-18%2...

[2] Discrete math is a requirement for CS, but not for math, so I didn't count it. If you include it, that raises the number of hours to 17. Either way, that's only a semester's worth of math.

[3] CS students are required to take 24 hours of upper division electives, many of which are math oriented, but based on this list, it'd still be possible to fill those 24 hours with non-math related topics: https://www.cs.utexas.edu/undergraduate-program/academics/cu...

[4] I realize that many classes in the core CS curriculum are math oriented, like algorithms, however this would not fulfill a math requirement. One couldn't pick up a minor in math based on the core curriculum alone and would need to deliberately add math electives.
> should it matter whether you caused harm (and I'm assuming that means physical harm for this argument) using fraud or whether you paid someone to inflict it?

I think it does matter, for the simple reason that people who are willing to commit violence, up close, with their own hands, have a very different psychology than people who are willing to do harm but still (presumably) have the normal human instincts that make them not want to do it personally.

It's one thing to kill; it's quite another thing to be willing to (or take pleasure in) literally get your hands bloody. The latter is the mark of an dangerous psychopath.
Its "easy" because VoIP providers are not held accountable. Force them to "KYC" and it would not be so "easy".

If the act of SWATing someone is a felony, then 'felony murder' could apply here. And if the act of SWATing someone isn't a felony, it really should be.

From the video seen online, it appears that the victim made a sudden movement when blinded by the lights after being confronted by SWAT. I think it was too trigger happy, but we have the benefit of hindsight. I feel terrible for the victim.

I once did a thought experiment on what it would take to replace the paper scoring sheets for horse competition. It was fairly daunting. It needs to be simple enough for a lay person to use well. Recording, corrections, and commenting all needed to seamless. Since there are multiple riders on course, the user needs to be able to react quickly and potentially out of order. Paper is really hard to beat in that case. Corrections are just using the pencil eraser or crossing out. Field selection is just where you have the pen at that moment. Communication sucks in that the sheets are picked up by a runner. But even on that count going digital adds it's own complications. I assume that someone will do it eventually but for such a seemingly simple case the constraints are deceptively tight.

I am not one for regulation but if there is on place in tech that should be considered for regulation, then I think this is a good place to start.

These workers need paid more, access to therapy and much more time off. I also think there are technical solutions to help ease the work needed, but that cost, and nobody seems to want to pay with human workers left holding the bag. This would also include stricter rules to make filtering easier.

I am okay with 100 good post being automatically removed it if means 1 bad post is also removed.
Agree with the strange profession. However, to accountants defense: the rules are pretty open and in any industry, most professional insiders easily know most of the loopholes. It's the layman / politician / civil servant that might get fooled because their common sense does not hold up. In the case of Uber, not a single investor will not recognize this.

Where does this go wrong? SME where the accountant has to expect less questions, since there are no professionals watching the stock. That's why banks do their own due diligence (and p2p lending is more risky). Investing in individual stocks based on your reading of an annual report. No way you are more savvy than the leeways an accountant has.
