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?

Yeah, the point is, we are really, really beyond the point where something legitimately real, and not just apathetic, should be done about this shit.

Citizens need to start asking for disarmament: of themselves, and others. We do not need a society which puts the implements of death and destruction above .. well .. themselves.

Nothing we can do on HN will change this. But wouldn't it be an interesting thought experiment to find some real, rational, applicable means of reducing these kinds of incidents?

To me, as a technologist, this is a problem that can be solved, "can" being the key word.
Just hope they sent the local SWAT team to make the arrest :-)

If there is another root cause then it isn't ADHD. As I already said I agree with you that one should be careful in diagnosing ADHD.
In places that allow ballot initiatives you can target specific issues. That's how marijuana legalization has been happening. There are places where majority of the people support it, but they vote in politicians who don't bother to legalize it, so activists take the issue directly to the voters.

Even still, though, it's a small number of people who bother collecting the signatures and informing people about the initiative. The vast majority of people are extremely disengaged and won't bother working on changing things.
Not surprising they say that since many Indians are taking interest in cryptocurrencies due to the Indian central bank being unable to control inflation. It was at 10% just a few years ago! Also it isn't like something that has the potential of ever going up by any significant amount. Every year it drops 3-10%. Who wants to hold on to that to save their money? No wonder the Indians have so much interest in crypto. I don't blame them. Their government has failed them. At least with crypto it has the potential to go up.
> But then, when they guy is trying to comply with everything, almost crying and obviously confused, instead of trying to calm him, they keep scaring him.

This is partially why one of the emphases of British policing is de-escalation (even backing away if you have to), which I will grant is _far_ easier when neither side is likely to have firearms (though the same principles are used by firearms officers). Backing your suspect into a corner, or unduly pressuring them, helps neither side.
It's a broad subject and I'm only interested in software verification. It's specialized enough that you should be reading papers and reading about systems. My favorite systems+papers are:

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.

I guess similar things could be said about gun ownership/self-defence argument etc. I guess if one decides to shoot back at the police one is truly screwed?
isn't that the point? Docker is just the company now, because docker spun out their technology into moby. there's still a binary on my computer called docker, but it seems that docker, inc wishes that weren't so.
I think what Docker the software is doing is great. Try and setup an in house kubernetes cluster that is secure. It’s next to impossible.

Now setup the new Docker Swarm. Takes all of a few commands to be setup properly
Note that this is formal verification of an imperative, C-based program manipulating low-level structures done years ago. I wouldnt say that represents what we're currently capable of in general case. For starters, a functional program or imperative without pointers (eg in SPARK) is much easier to verify than a C program. Plus, the seL4 organization recently reduced effort for filesystems down by a few multiples with a functional language.

Truth is the seL4 team set themselves up for a harder-than-usual job. For good reason but most folks (esp managed languages) won't see as much difficulty.

What's more, are those SWAT teams trained policemen or scared little children?

Because if they are the latter, why do they go with guns and ammo and equipment enough to equip a small army just to arrest some kid who's selling weed or some guy who threatened their neighbors and such?

SWAT teams should be for breaking into Escobar's hideout or stopping angry mobs, not for responding to random phone calls and simple cases.

Aren't they men enough to just send 1-3 people with their fucking guns in their holsters?
> The Assistant now supports "Hey Google" as an option

“Now” as in “since the introduction of Google Home”. (On phones prior to Google Home, it only supported “OK Google”.)
> What's full-disk encryption do if Facebook et al are going to funnel the data off your devices anyways?

We have more-or-less mandatory full-disk encryption at work (outsourced software development) in order to prevent source code and data access in case the dev boxes are confiscated by some third-party agency. I believe it's still a good measure for this case, if you don't blatantly upload the data into the internets. (And have a religious prescription on keeping any work-related data off your personal devices.)

Ironically, at the same time, most of our people use Google Drive to share project docs and discuss most of the work-related stuff via Skype. Though, I guess the disk encryption is there for plausible legal deniability as well.
Like I said elsewhere, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have a similar culture and shared history yet became liberal democracies. They are also much more prosperous.
I think of a lot of the replies here miss the point of why the police are in "such a hurry". Usually, they believe that the person has hostages that are in imminent danger. I'm sure there is a big component of macho gun buzz, but the fact that they're in a rush is an understandable component of the situation. That's why they don't sit in the car and try to have a chat with the "hostage taker".

Obviously, the fact that a random person can essentially order a taxpayer-funded death squad to an arbitrary home is a huge problem, and the people actually making those calls are only a small part of the problem.

The fact that these death squads are on the payroll sitting around bored waiting for "action" is an issue too.

However, I don't think it's as clear-cut as "don't kill anyone". I'd hate to be the guy with my life threatened while they cautiously announce their presence to my attacker.

What's missing is some basic "is there really a hostage situation going on here" step that I don't have the law enforcement knowledge to define.
How often is that idea close to reality, and how often is it a fake call, a no-knock warrant, or some other bs?

And are they actually taking great personal risk? Police killed a bit under 1000 people in the US in 2016 and had around 150 officers die (with lots of this vehicle related). Seems like it's riskier for people interacting with cops than the cops themselves.
In any discrete instance it may seem like that, but what you interpret as "strange ideas and dogma that falls apart when tested in real world situations" to a practitioner is a history of different approaches to a problem that have been tried in the past, a few standard ones that are sort of your go-to, and a huge amount of case studies and research about why different approaches worked or not and what might make it work or not again in the future.

The problem always is that it very difficult for an observer to tell the difference between an educated guess and just a, like, regular guess. So I don't fault anyone for interpreting it like that.
Am I missing something, but do the wordings in this article not indicate that the German government considers it OK for cops to shoot a suspect that is running away?

My German isn’t very good so there’s a good chance I might be missing something.
>The way things are going if a SWAT team rolled up to my house ( I know this is going to sound silly). I'd call 911 and have them on speaker phone coaching me through it.

Who said you're going to get any chance to call anybody? They could just as easily break into your house shouting and pointing guns...
Yeah, that’s not how due process works. You don’t know what happened or what the evidence is. And from your responses, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you have no law enforcement experience or training. Sorry, but the outrage you feel upon reading a few news stories online is vastly insufficient to imprison another human.

You’re talking about simple mob justice, that’s all.
For me I am agrevated with Amazon behavior and the Google home is just a lot better than the Echo.

Amazon removing the twitch app from the Roku after purrchasing Twitch is just wrong. Also Amazon banning any company from able to sell the Google home or Chromecast in their marketplace is also a problem.

Amazon does not need to do this anti competitive BS.
It's been my impression that they're angling for either a VMWare or Microsoft acquisition. They both like buying things that live at the edge of enterprise-y and trendy.
This was disappointing. Not a word about correlations between subsequent numbers, period length, all the things that matter if you’re actually generating significant amounts of random numbers.
It does, the entire point of the last section is that Docker, Inc's moves look very much like they're setting up for the survival of the tech (containerd and Moby) regardless of the company's.
This makes sense to me. If you watch babies learning to walk, they often walk on their toes first, vs heels. He mentions that you are leaning forward, that keeps the momentum up to make it easier.

So if it wasn't for Buster Brown, we would all be able to toe walk easily.

The author offers some reasonably strong evidence to discuss:

1) rapid adoption of Kubernetes
2) shiftless response strategy
3) aspects of the response strategy that imply internal *recognition* the company won't last
4) changes to organizational structure / personnel

(I suspect, as other commenters have pointed out, that you are conflating Docker with LXC. This is understandable! Docker-the-company was/is very good with branding!)
Cool story. Have Indians heard of investments?

they are describing a very threatening movement

Yes, that is what they are describing. Because of course they are.

What we don't have is video.

And what we don't have is the other guy's account of what happened – because they killed him.
No, those are often core problems in ADHD. This is (much of) what it means to have poor executive function.
I am not advocating for police to have a rule that disallows them to fire first. But police officers should be capable of acting cool under pressure and to use lethal force as a last resort not as a first tool to be used in any situation. I'd favor the rule that police should be filled with Army vets that have actually being on deployments and can keep their cool in an adversarial situations. There are plenty of footage of real firefights both involving police and Military
in 80% of situation police looks like they are scared out of their mind and are acting purely out of being in uncontrollable fear which is a horrible situation.
> You’re talking about simple mob justice, that’s all.

Unfortunate turn of phrase, when it's the police who kill over a thousand citizens without trial or often arrest each year.
Oh … apparently we do have video. Off to find it now.
They also don't bleed as much braking power when they heat up from repeated or long braking, which is more common at the high speeds seen in an electric bike.

One difference between ponzi schemes and games of chance has to do with impartiality. Even if casino games are tweaked to give better odds to the house, once you roll the dice, neither you nor the dealer can influence the outcome in any way.

Another difference is that there’s no requirement to bring more and more people into the game, so there’s no risk of widespread adverse effects.
> You do not assume a call is fraudulent in a situation like that. You assume the worst.

I disagree.

Purveyor of fake news says people are falling for fake news.

Washingtonpost is as much fake news as anything.

The entire media market is based on people falling for fake news. Otherwise washingtonpost, nytimes or any media wouldn't exist. Advertisements ( aka fake "news" ) wouldn't work if people didn't fall for it.

It’s insulting to real developers of decent apps and games when obvious trash can make it onto the store so easily, remain there, and make money hand over fist, when other apps have to put up with scrutiny and back-and-forth rejections over trivial non-issues even in 2017.

Right now, their “improved” App Store doesn’t even have what I would call a search engine. I can search for apps BY NAME and they still show up like #30 on the list below a whole pile of stuff that (I assume) only matches due to some weird random match of letters that happen to be in my search term. There is NO way to narrow the search category, NO filters (not even something so basic as “search only apps released in the last month”), etc. And every single iOS store issue is 1000x worse on the Mac store. They need to take that 30% cut and invest properly.

And search problems wouldn’t be so bad if their top-X lists made any sense. Top grossing, really? Great way to see the same 10 apps for like 3 weeks in a row. “Limited Time Prices”? At this very moment on the Mac store, ALL TWELVE “Limited Time Prices” apps are LEGO games! What good is that?
The two motivators in this story: fear and greed.

The people have the motivation of greed, the government has the motivation of fear. Fear that the greed will lead to fear of losses and everyone exiting at the same time. It is a bit sad really as the governments should just let the people wanting to get burned in this harmless bubble lose all of their money.
Another problem is that many of us seldom correct or inform them in fear due to not wanting to antagonize them.
Could be a simple as calling the suspects phone or knocking doors at neighbors. If the suspect answered the phone and said he was asleep and said he would be happy to show the officers around his house, maybe things would have gone differently.

I tried walking toe first like in the video with an anterior pelvic tilt. Surprisingly, it's almost impossible - my upper body locks up. Since your butt is so far back, your steps are stilted, too.

Changing to a posterior pelvic tilt (or just neutral I guess), yeah I felt like I was doing ballet. My posture immediately improved, my core was engaged, even walking toe first made more sense.

But, I dunno. Unless I'm barefoot in the woods at night with feet used to being wrapped in shoes, toe first doesn't come naturally. Landinf on the ball of my foot? Yes.

What do cultures that don't use shoes at all, do?

If anyone is interested in ant. and post. pelvic tilt, the great aha moment for me was the Cat/Cow poses in yoga. Practicing flossing between them gave me a ton of awareness over my posture.
> we had ad-free social networking in 2004.

We had ad-free online communities in 1994... you just used telnet instead of a browser. We had BBSes in 1984. She is totally correct that online gathering spaces of various kinds are not new. The labels change, the tech changes, the scale changes... and that is why the ads came in. Because at some point we jumped from individuals making small systems into businesses making money via large systems.

Nowhere near a lawyer here, but:

Would it be possible to contractually obligate any entities holding these stocks to also adopt tenured shareholder voting power?

Doing so would certainly improve the loophole situation, though I suspect it doesn't fix it entirely... Things probably get weird when you nest tenure effects.

I was under the impression police office training regimes are public knowledge.

Actually, part of the problem is that you never end up in prison for wrongly killing.
I remember a tidbit from the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive loading screen saying that the federal GSG-9 group only has fired shots on five missions throughout their existence. Wikipedia seems to back this up with some reportedly true information[1].

No kidding. And the media is attacking social media at the behest of both governments.
It’s also amusing to see this straw man argument and rebuttal get posted in almost every single discussion about cryptocurrencies.
Well, I like the general idea, but am not sure about their implementation. Obviously have to wait for details, like SPV vs. real-person ownership.

But I wonder about their approach -- couldn't any public corporation, any time it wants, put long-term goals into its "constitution" or whatever you want to call corporate goals? Though perhaps their exchange will eventually put pressure on corporations to do so.
Can someone tell me if this idea is crazy?

I've noticed that fundraising and liquidity are common problems for startup founders, and it seems to me that the public stock market could solve many of those problems. What if all startups were publicly traded entities right after incorporation?

Some of the benefits you would gain as a founder:

- A larger pool of potential investors. You would have access to investment from anyone instead of just accredited investors. For example, it would be interesting if early adopters could invest in startups that they support just as easily as they can buy stock in Apple because they love Apple products.

- Liquidity. You could buy and sell your shares of the company at any point. If you're a startup founder investing 100% of your time and capital into a business, it makes sense for you to diversify your assets at some point and not put all of your eggs into one basket.

- Better incentives. If your company was publicly traded from Day 1, you would still be incentivized to raise the value of your business because you still own shares. Better yet, now you don't have to worry about building a billion dollar business to satisfy the economics of your investors, you can sell shares of your $20M business so you're not worrying about your exit strategy all the time.

There's been a lot of activity in this space with the new crowdfunding bill, the SEC loosening up requirements for small companies, and things like ICOs. Has anyone else ever considered doing this with their startups? Just curious to hear what others think.
You have a single-speed electric bike with a mid-drive motor? How does that work out for you?
That's true. Unfortunately, it's not trivial to add more domains, as you'd need to own them all (to add DNS records for sending and receiving). I wanted to accept donations at some point, in the form of pointed DNS records, but realized that I couldn't do that without owning the domain, as if the domain lapsed or was transferred, Spamnesty wouldn't know and it would keep sending email from that domain, to no avail.
Doesn’t that still achieve the goal? No one is dumping the shares on news cycles.
The obvious answer is: because you think they ARE armed, and if you wait until they start shooting at you, it’s too late.

Extending Python 3 in Go
(1) Having a town house with some wall socket at the entry or a garage and (2) not trying to get into a big city centre might be a use case, yes. Thanks for elaborating your example but I don't think that this use case is strong or ubiquitous enough (maybe in SF) to lead e-bikes to mass adoption. I still think the concept of an e-bike, in particular the charging, is super flawed. If the battery is removable you can charge this thing but you have to carry a fat battery pack back and forth and your bike looks super clumsy (and yes, all bikes with removable batteries look clumsy) or if it's integrated it looks nice but it's hard to charge that thing.

I mean, I see that all bike manufacturer start to produce e-bikes and they form a large part of their revenues because they are much more expensive than normal bikes but if I'd make a mini poll here, how many of you guys have an e-bike, how many a normal bike? I bet the rate is 1:10 (e-bike:bike) or even lower.
It seems like sufficiently clever lawyering ought to be able to prevent this, by tying the voting power to the entity that has the right to obtain the benefits of the stock price going up. At the very least this prevents the LLC hack.
