Sorry but almost all the blame is on the person who pulls the trigger. Swatting is possible because of police militarization. Frankly while the idiot who made the call certainly shares some responsibility, our police policies of shoot first and ask questions later are the problem. When police are trained to respond to citizens, even violent ones, like enemies in war, we get the outcomes of police killings that we have today. Citizens are not enemies or combatants and as such the military style training of police in the US today is wholly inappropriate.

What in this post could lead anyone to that conclusion?

The author established sexual boundaries

> When I became romantically involved with Jacob, I clearly told him that I wasn't interested in group sex, or having sex in front of other people. I told him this more than once, and clearly stated that if we were going to be intimate, I wanted it to be with him in a private setting.

And had those boundaries violated while intoxicated

It seems to me like the biggest problem, if I'm to accept that Adderall is as frequently abused as described here, is the same one you have in sports with PEDs: if a bunch of people are on Adderall and establish the "baseline" level of attention you're supposed to have, then "just" being diligent gets you left in the dust.
The result of printing itself is not discussed and smallest amount of time reserved for showing it off in video at 480p.

I’m saying that if you want to build a post racial world, it’s not enough for the historical beneficiaries of the previous system to just say, “all done now!” A few hundred years of treating people as though they were less than human based on the color of their skin has lasting consequences requiring repair. It’s not enough to simply acknowledge past misdeeds, while benefiting from generations of abuse and marginalization which you have no intention to address.

Of course that assumes you really think that most people are as marvelously rational as you.
The only thing the man could've pulled was a pistol from his waistband. The police were across the streets behind cars already aiming guns at the guy. They should be trained to wait until the person actually raises the pistol to fire before discharging. At that distance and with the cover they had I don't see how the guy could fire a shot and hit a cop before they could. I don't see how anyone can argue the cop was in any danger even if the guy had a pistol. Unfortunately, the cop only has to say he felt threatened and he thought the guy had a gun and he'll get off on any charges.
Lots of things have a boundary, even if the boundary is somewhat arbitrary. In most places there is a voting age, there is an age of consent, and there is a drinking age. These ages differ, because there is no clear-cut boundary.

Do you think there should be no power limit, or that it should be a different power limit?

I don't see why the regulations for electric bikes should be much different from gasoline bikes (aka, mopeds). If your e-bike is powerful enough, then it's comparable to a more powerful moped.

Do you think we prevent people from drive on the sidewalk because they will be reckless? I think the greater the momentum disparity, the more likely it is that an error, like loss of control, results in injury or death. This is a wider brush than "reckless".

Okay, since you're advertising your service here, I think it's only right I give you some feedback on it, as someone who registered an account to test it out just now.

Firstly, it took me a fair bit to realise that the book icon at the top was actually the menu button, and not just a logo linking to the home page. It's a neat idea (having the service logo act as the menu), but it's not at all clear to users, and should probably be replaced with a simple logo link and hamburger button instead.

Secondly, forcing users to log in to view any content is not a good design pattern, and has been seen as a bad idea in the community management world for decades. Scrap it, let people view at least some content as a guest.

Stylistically it isn't too great either. It works on a functional level, but all in all, it just feels very... dated. Like, the site was made in 1995 type dated. That's probably because the colour scheme feels drab and uninteresting, the fonts all staid and the general structure of the pages is all so academic and formal looking. It reminded me of one of those 'guestbook' features Microsoft FrontPage used to have, and not in a good way.

So again, change that up a bit, since the vast majority of the population have design tastes that are a bit more up to date than Lyra's here.

Not sure the tour is a good idea either. Facebook, Twitter and others like them don't need one, and the way it's implemented here feels a bit overbearing more than anything else.

Do like how profiles let you add new fields yourself though, that seems quite useful (especially in an era where new social networks and their respective profile links keep popping up every day).

As for conversations, those just feel a bit awkward at the moment. I mean, are there any groups here? Any tags? Hashtags? Any way of categorising content at all? Cause at the moment, it seems like it's just a list of conversations about whatever random topic that you're somehow supposed to find and wander into. Not sure how user friendly that is myself.

Overall though, it's a mixed bag. There are some neat ideas here, and I admire you for creating your own social media site, but the design aesthetics and general setup just seem so dated it isn't a viable competitor to the likes of Facebook and Twitter for me.

Sorry.
I know that they have fixed version going to the app store, but Password mangers should be risk adverse. The disclosure timeline for this vulnerability is NUTS! And this basic app security stuff.

They're like whatever when he reported this multiple times. They only fixed it when he goes public. This is not how you would expect a security product to handle a security vulnerability, not to mention that the vulnerability was an amateurish mistake in the first place.

Let's take a history of the DSM using trivia here:

1) By context it states still that drugs like LSD and MDMA will lead to psychosis.

2) It directly stated that Marijuana causes psychosis up until some years back (less than a decade).

3) Psychosis NOS (None Otherwise Specified) is used to categorize undesirables when nothing else fits.

4) People were still being forcibly sterilized in California up until less than a decade ago.

5) Modern clinical psychiatry is checklist-based, not evidence-based. If it were evidence-based they'd be basing it on bloodwork and MRI.

6) Recent findings regarding genetics, as well as astrocyte-damage being responsible for schizophrenia trump Freudian-based lunacy.

7) Psychiatric abuse has been common for over 100 years. If you're homosexual, anti-establishment, communist, atheist, Wiccan and more, you've likely been a victim of bias and discrimination. The cold-water baths and ECT to treat such terrible conditions as not being "like everyone else" are true.

8) It's delusional to think that the DSM represents fact -- for instance, the APA has stated that any group of people, large enough, holding a belief, is a religion and thus a protected class -- yet Wiccans, Rastafari and alternative religions are still persecuted like addicts and cults.

As someone who survived the psychiatric establishments in Texas, finally meeting a doctor who started at square one, asking me questions, and rediagnosing me to PTSD and a victim of abuse from the slew of ever-changing diagnoses that my parents lied to the doctors to achieve, I think it's all barbarism, plain and simple. Times are changing, but mental institutions and Big Pharma pushing pills hasn't. Actual therapeutics and investigation are nonexistent. People don't ask the patients and instead rely on testimony from others. Full workups aren't done. Inspection for head trauma, meningitis and more isn't done. And you can pick this apart, and say that "hey those are just isolated possible situations" but the reality is, just like the prison systems, psychiatry is 100% flawed and biased.

For fucks sake, my first doctor around year 2000 had been trained in fucking Russia in the fucking 1950s. You want psychiatry to be true? Give it 20 years for the tech to catch up and doctors to adopt it, then give it to AI to manage rather than flawed, biased humans with motives that aren't in line with the best treatment for a patient.
Not good, though compared to the mainstream media lockdown I grew up under with uncle Walt and its "we've always been at war with eastasia" coverage, we live in charmed times.

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.

This is one the reasons that my undergrad degree is in 'Computer Information Systems' instead of 'Computer Science'. The number of CS classes between the two degrees was nearly identical, but the high end math (anything beyond calc2 iirc) was replaced with business classes (accounting, economics, finance, etc...) and statistics.

At the time I was in school there was a real worry of outsourcing all programming, so I didn't want to be 'just a programmer.' I hoped in the worst case, if all the jobs were outsourced I could be in charge of a remote team. Turns out the outsourcing didn't happen quite to that level (although at one point in the past I was in charge of a teams on the other side of the world), but the business courses have been very valuable over my entire career so far.

I'm seeing this type of split more often in CS, and I think it's great. CS + business or CS + art or CS + media, CS + whatever I think is the future. Programming alone is great (someone has to write the libraries we all use ;) ), but take a competent programmer, add another skill they are passionate about and you have a real force.
I'm thinking next year I might just hire someone to cut it. Maybe having less grass would be good too. Part of my problem is my back yard is very hilly, making it grueling to do (not like you can just run across a few times and be done). I'm pretty new to home ownership.

I think that'd probably hurt large internet forums and other non/minimal profit communities more than anything. I mean, Facebook wouldn't like being liable, but they do at least have the money to fight any claims and to theoretically pay staff if forced to.

Indeed, I was at an activity with my son, and there was a TV in the lounge, showing a cartoon program. The program involved an evil scheming person trying to take over the world, and culminated in a literal war, with cartoon soldiers, guns, tanks, and so forth, killing one another.
This is actually a conversation many parents have with their kids. They teach to always be polite to police, no matter what they are saying to you, and to always, always, make sure they can see your hands.

The blame can be placed on both. The person who faked a police report is guilty of homicide, but this was made possible by an overly trigger happy police force.
To state the obvious, there's a difference between Facebook and email. It takes effort to hit "Forward", select everyone in your address book, and send that email. Meanwhile, a "Like" is input to Facebook's stupid world-destroying algorithm (they put Trump in power, 'nuff said) to "Let's show this content to more people!".

And email is more personal, if I got email with some stupid content from someone I knew, I would probably take time to reply to show them that the mail is full of crap.

At what point does the average citizen look at "SWAT death as an option for what could happen to me today" and think, 'well .. this is okay'?

I'm not trying to be inflammatory, but there has to be real moment of respect for the fact that Americans are living in a "dial-a-death" state of existence.

This is something that many, many social commentators have warned us of, over the decades: the signs of a Police State.

Sure, American. Most likely you are aware of the nature of law enforcement.

But for those of us observing things from places where such actions as this are a real, honest, facet of the past history: this shit is scary.

Like, come on. A rational society allows this?

Please fork, reboot, and continuously deploy these notions of freedom under the protection of violent force. This is a paradox which is delivering injustice, broad and wide, instead of narrow and thin. A moment of disgrace.
This is an experiment with 1 trial. What evidence do you have that another system with the same technological advances would not produce the same or better living standards? (none!)
Exactly. This could have been avoided by asking the neighbors if there was gunfire or if they called. Seems weird that an “active shooter” would result in a quiet street. Surely they’d get multiple reports. This is where better training needs to come into play.
It doesn't take a weapon to kill someone. A rather infamous example in recent years is the death of Eric Gardner. Deadly force is deadly force—regardless of the form it comes in.

I'm fairly severely ADHD, and Adderall does not work for me. As in I was getting psychedelic effects before reaching a therapeutic dose. Ritalin is better, and Focalin better still (same effect as ritalin, lower side effects).
This is true, if you think in terms of "behavior required to win in a fight against someone who ambushes you with intent to kill." Action beats reaction. And there's no way to maintain both your behavior and the situation of every encounter, all tens of thousands of them per officer across every officer in the country in such a way that you're safe against someone like the attackers in those videos. It can't happen.

Most people don't have combat background. They come in a range of IQs, a range of behavioral disorders, of intoxication of various means, of absurd beliefs and paranoias and irrationalities and mental health disorders. They are unpredictable and unreliable and don't use their turn signals let alone follow spot-on perfect form in an unexpected situation with adrenaline pumping.

As a result, almost everyone shot by police will have done something to "justify" it by the standard of behavior you have here. Since police usually are called on someone who is engaged in somewhat unsavory behavior (usually drug related,) it's really easy to paint the shooter in a negative light. A lot of people respond to a shooting incident with - "another lowlife, gangbanger, or meth-head, who cares?"

With cops on a hair trigger primed with videos of trained killers ambushing fellow police, any incident where a police officer gets scared for any reason could lead to your death.
What this video and incident shows is that this is still true for your average Joe with no drugs and no reason to be connected to the police in any way. This is no less true for many people who were shot and killed as the result of a traffic stop or a drug bust - they didn't necessarily deserve to be killed, their death is no less tragic - it's just less evident.

> All I said is that if video games were treated the same as drugs and alcohol they would be banned for minors.

Sorry, I had possibly misinterpreted this as you not just comparing but actually suggesting treating video games similarly to alcohol and banning those to minors. My apologies if you didn't mean that.

If you did - I strongly disagree.

> Video games are just as addictive as alcohol, cigarettes

Sorry but this is nonsense. No video game binds with receptors in the brain and cause physical dependence. Please, let's not equate gaming with substance addictions.

> If you think books or hobbies are as addictive or destructive as video games that is a matter of opinion

There are people who lost their friends, jobs or have other problems in their lives because of their hobbies or obsessions. I knew some hardcore anime otakus who had some personal issues - shall we ban Japanese animation and comics?

But you missed the point, again. Let me reiterate: video games are retreat, not a cause. Banning them won't help the person who can't control their urges a single little bit. You would either leave them empty, concealing the issue, or they'll divert to something else.

Adding games to DSM is a good idea, though. If someone has addiction and it manifests into video gaming addiction, it's easy to measure this. I could be wrong but as I get it, that's the whole point, having a concept of unhealthy obsession - not that games are something undesirable on their own.

I believe you perceive video games as something special only because they're easiest thing available out there, making them the common retreat. That, plus existence of some games that specifically concentrate on abuse of the addictions (see my next point).

> tracking player responses at a minute level and adapting games to maximize profits

Sorry, but if I got you right - you're talking about some specific niche (or several niches) of video games, generalizing this to the whole industry. You'd probably want to complain about in-game purchases and microtransactions (or whatever else this stuff is called).

Upd: Sorry for edits - I re-read my comment and did some edits to it to better clarify what I've meant. Finished editing now.
The original intention was the communist revolution would take over the whole world at once. it was never intended/feasible to be a sole communist nation surrounded by a sea of capitalist nations, but they couldn't admit that failure and pressed on anyway.
I agree that you should keep being paid, but spending your work hours in your own home does seem unusually generous. Compare the "rubber rooms" teachers are sent to under very similar circumstances.
