This is one of my main reasons why I quit Russia in 2015. Now, I still have toxic Russian citizenship and my primary task is to get rid of this citizenship. Unfortunately, it's quite challenging task.

Two main reasons/concerns which motivate me quit Russia:

1) Possibility of unexpected ban of Internet (restriction of freedom of information);

2) Possibility of introducing exit visas (restriction of freedom of movement);

If not these two concerns, I wouldn't bother to quit Russian citizenship no matter how poor and corrupt country.

Don't get me wrong, I have friends living in Moscow. I have a lot of warm memories about this city. I may be even return to live in Russia ... as foreign citizen.
My wife is black, speeds a fair amount, always tailgating, and sometimes gets pulled over. But, she never gets a ticket. Cops always let her off with a warning.

I am white, and perhaps not the most cautious driver. I was in the military for 8 years and never got a ticket. I had a big AFG sticker on the back of my car. A month or so after I got out I received three tickets in the space of a week for speeding and illegal uturns, one on an abandoned road (except for that invisible cop) late at night.

So, while cops do profile, it is a little bit more nuanced than white/black.
That indeed seems like a better idea.

I wonder if the %age of infractions (across a range of severities) tend to be the same across all races.

Because if it is, the white people should be pulled over at least 3x times more.

Another thing I dot understand: when a cop pulls over a vehicle, how is it possible for the cop to know if the car is being driven by a black person or not? so, it is possible that of all those pulled over, a greater %age of black drivers get ticketed for smaller infractions.

> As a European, I am sometimes shocked that people in the bay don't know about OVH.

Where would you get that impression? OVH is clearly well known in the tech world of the bay area / SV. They've been regularly discussed on HN for at least ~5+ years that I'm aware of.

One problem has been that they only have one North America location and it's in Canada (not necessarily ideal depending on what you're doing and where you're located in the US).

That's the problem I intended to solve by 'grouping', as I called it: Don't delete the similar items, but group them together (see my GP comment regarding the functionality).

Also, it might not be as hard as it seems with this data. There would be maybe thousands of records (though you'd want it to scale higher); how many would have the same sets of proper nouns, for example, and not be about the same topic?

The moment you say "reliable messages with UDP" you really are saying "we are implementing TCP on our own", which quickly turns into question "why?".

By its own admission, the project says: "The reliability layer is a pretty naive sliding window implementation". A bit scary if you really want to have guarantee message is delivered.

Also scary part: "Our use of OpenSSL is extremely limited; basically just AES encryption", "we do not support x509 certificates". OpenSSL is difficult, coming up with your own key exchange is likely problematic.

So I'm still searching for the answer as to why we need to do this? What's the market for this?

> Further, in states like Colorado and Texas, where the chart shows white people are stopped more, they also have high latino populations (maybe a racial mis-profiling by the police?).

"Hispanic or Latino" is a separate question from race in most US government statistics. As far as I know, it's usually the case that lighter-skinned Hispanic people are categorized as "white" and darker-skinned Hispanic people are categorized as "other".
> Using refcounts to get around an overly aggressive borrow checker seems to be an ugly developing pattern in rust, and I feel they are giving away the performance many are fighting for by adding all these little inefficiencies to idiomatic rust. Add some refcounting here

The performance hit isn't as it bad as it seems, because you only adjust the reference counts when you actually take an extra reference. This is different from shared_ptr in C++, because C++ automatically calls the copy constructor and so it's easy to end up with lots of reference count traffic.

Observe that, if we assume that the time spent in malloc() and free() dominates the time spent to adjust one reference count (which is a safe assumption), then the additional time overhead of Rc with a single owner is effectively zero.

> add a Box or other indirection there

Why do you ever need to Box unnecessarily in Rust? This is more of an issue with C++, where shared_ptr has an extra indirection and interior pointers and "new" encourage heap allocation.

I actually think that Rust in practice has the opposite problem: people are afraid to Box when they shouldn't be, causing unnecessary memcpy traffic.

> a chained monadic interface that can't short circuit and has to continually do error/null checks

How is this more overhead than in C?

> Edit: Forgot about handles. Ugh. Completely unacceptable when you want to grow your tree data structure and you have to do a realloc and basically copy every node. If your tree is complete, then you are copying the whole tree every time you start a new level. The conclusions sound more like ugly hacks, than what you would properly design.

Yeah, I would like to make a crate with an interface similar to petgraph but that actually mallocs every node separately. This should be readily doable.

I think the reason why nobody has made this crate yet is that copying the nodes on growth isn't as big of a concern in practice as it might initially seem, because the time spent in the growth case is amortized and made up for by extremely fast allocation of new nodes.

sure, but how often does a traffic stop lead to the discovery of evidence that justifies a charge for a white collar crime? the person would have to be driving around with incriminating (likely very technical) documents and do something that gives the officer probably cause to search the vehicle. the papers won't even look bad unless the officer already knows what to look for.

on the other hand, traffic stop -> suspected intoxication -> field sobriety test / drug dogs seems like a very common routine.
I work from home a lot. I don't like shaving. I enjoy comfortable clothes. I go to the gym on the days I work from home. I also have what has been described to me as the male version of "resting bitch face" - which I take to mean I look angry, even when I'm not.

The net net of this is that I'm often running errands in public, during the middle of the day, with a scruffy beard, wearing sweatpants or other grubby clothes, scowling to some degree, and sometimes smelling of sweat and BO (if the store I'm going to is on the way home from the gym)

I will get plenty of suspicious looks from store proprietors and other customers. Oftentimes cashiers are surprised when I address them pleasantly. Obviously they are judging me by my appearance. Most likely they've had other interactions with people who looked like me that did not go well.

The thing is - I don't blame them. I know I look "suspicious" by the usual definitions. It's not really fair of course, but I believe this "pattern matching" behavior was probably part of our evolution. An ability to perform quick judgments based on past experience was probably useful historically. It still is in many cases not involving discriminatory practices. I guess my point is - cops are humans too. They should be held to higher standards, but if the people who commit crimes are often driving shabby cars, they are going to start putting those things together (fairly or not)
> Is there any protection for non-atomic ref counting in a multithreaded environment in Rust?

Of course. Rust is memory safe. The compiler will prevent you from sharing non-thread-safe reference counted objects between threads.

This is a significant advantage over C++, where the compiler offers no such protection and so the typical solution is just to use atomic reference counting (shared_ptr) everywhere.
It's a shame you're being downvoted. I fear people get married to their preferred explanations about causes, even when you basically agree about the effects.
then at least force the user to set this. I don't care if the traffic is 'malicious' whatever the definition of that is.
The other obvious question I think is why all of y'all had access to live ammunition at eight years old.
> Are Rust ref-counts atomic? (I'd assume so).

No, not unless the object is actually shared among multiple threads.
Won't help. There will always be surprises. Debris on the road, or snow drifts, or something.

Any system that works by not interpreting the world outside is bound to encounter nasty surprises.
Sure, but their products were killed off. Their ~20% APR rate of return is decent, but not stellar. And you have to wonder if Nuance really go $100m worth of value out of the acquisition; in retrospect it looks like buying at the top of the market

Regardless, I think it's inarguable that they would have been worth a lot more had they not been killed off by the platforms they did so much for.
As if criminals are stupid. A drug smuggler is more likely to drive a van than an Audi. Probably hire some white college kid to drive it.
> That is not very surprising since according to the census, whites made up 87.8% of the Montana population while blacks made up 0.4%

I'm not sure that going by overall population is useful. There are at least two problems with it, when looking at being pulled over while driving.

1. Age distributions need to be taken into account. I don't know if this applies to Montana, but I believe that in some states there are noticeable differences in age distribution between races. At the very least, you want to limit it to just people who are old enough drive.

2. Wealth distribution needs to be taken into account. In most states blacks are on average less wealthy than whites. I would expect that means that white families are more likely than black families to have more than one car. I would expect that to result in disproportionately more white driven car trips than black driven car trips.

You really need to go by what police are seeing on the roads: what percent of the cars that a police officer sees are white driven and what percent are black driven? That's loosely correlated with general population race distribution, but there are several filters including those described above between that and cars on the road that change the distribution.

Would be great for TCP to better address the reliable transmission of messages for games, these “reliable UDP” code bases in game engines don’t address all of the other issues such as bandwidth sharing fairness and avoiding saturation of networking links, which ultimately will just make networks slower than faster and more reliable for everyone.
This module makes it impossible to detect and handle IPv6 /64 subnets. Perhaps the first and last 64 bits should be hashed separately.
It's pretty easy to see. You park on the side of the road during the day, and you can see every car that passes by. You get plenty of time to see the driver as they approach you.
Free speech is indeed very important and I am definitely not suggesting something to prevent it. The concept I object to is the intention of extra judicial punishment in order to punish criminals and and using it as an example to discourage others. When we celebrate that then what we really are doing is rejecting the legal system for its intended role and using a trial by media as a substitute.

A big part of what make the legal system better than extra judicial punishment is the concept of fairness. Every victim and criminal get the same treatment. If we want accusations like the one in the article published then why not change the law so that the legal system must publish all accusation and the details online and have it available publicly for anyone to read? Have the legal system scale up what this article represent so that every similar victim get treated equally by society?

If buzzfeed action here is intended to be part of the legal system then bake it into the legal system. Some nations actually do this with sentenced criminal and the details of the crime being read out on national broadcasts. The main difference to this case is that the national broadcast should then focus on crime in which the accused is not sentenced, or the crime is past the statue of limitation.
> Something needs to be done about this before too much legacy is accumulated with this pattern.

Do you have any suggestions?
Yeah. Add to that the paperwork and limitations associated with being a 'currency resident' if you decide to step into Russia for even one day a year. Ugh. I meet my family in other countries now.

That said, what's this about exit visas? Is it being seriously discussed?

I don't think that is being overly worried.

They are just talking about long-term disability!? I have it as well, for mostly the same reasons. I worry that if something were to happen to my hands, eyes, or brain that I wouldn't be able to provide for myself or my family.

I don't think having disability insurance is "that much worry".

A Tough-Love Letter to the Left (2017)
Ask HN: Is there a subreddit works like ShowHN?
When I was doing my military service another conscript fired his rifle down into the ground as we where standing close together without any hearing protection on. Seconds later our captain orders us to put the hearing protection on and leads us down to a completely dark cellar with beds in it.
We then had to lay there for 48 hours in complete silence with noice canceling ear protection on with only breaks for toilet visits and quick supervised snacks.
Two weeks later we all took hearing tests that got compared with the tests we took when we joined the military and none of us had any permanent damage.

Not sure the complete silence helped with healing, but the science behind the decision to have us do that was that the little hairs in the ear heals faster if it’s not stimulated.

To this day I still think about not exposing myself to too much sound after I have heard some high noice, like someone dropping a metal weight in the gym.

More than a decade ago, when I started listening to podcasts during commuting, I was worried I was cranking the volume too high to compensate fot external noise - trains, buses, traffic, etc.

So, I decided to buy a Shure sound-isolating phone. These are monitors for musicians in stage to hear to what they are doing while avoiding the extreme PA towers next to them. They're expensive, but high-quality and isolate noise VERY well.

Before, I listened to the podcasts at literally eleven or more (sounds like a joke, but that crappy MP3 player went from 1 to 12 or 15). After that, I listened at level 2, and even when the podcasts were over I left the earphones for ear comfort and protection.

Sadly, the model I had did not had replaceable cables and eventually, the cable worn out. Now I'm back to JBL earphone, which does help a little bit, but nowhere as near a Shure monitor. After reading OP and the comments, I'm considering spending the extra money on a monitor again.
Seventy maxims of maximally effective mercenaries
What you're saying, it's all effed up. The whole "white privilege" thing is bs. I grew up kinda poor and I can tell you that the cops treat poor whites the same as they do poor blacks. It's the system of domination that is the problem, not skin color. Sure, there are racist cops, I've known plenty of them. But overall, the system does not care what color you are, only that you are part of the underclass that needs to be kept under control/dominated/coerced. That's what the police exist for. They sure as hell aren't there to uphold the law when we see every day how the elite break major laws and get away with it constantly.

The US is a dramatically unjust country, but it's not because of racism, it is due to elitism and oligarchy, the same old song. They keep us divided in order to dominate us, keep watering down the currency, causing distractions, and on and on. It's not racism, it's control. We need to bring our elites under control before they start yet another war to whittle us down.

The word "integrity" may have a different meaning inside a tightly-knit corporate culture[1] than on the outside, just like "honor" means something different inside the Mafia, where it means "you can steal and murder, but above all, keep your mouth shut".

A corporate code of silence that insists on the absolute privacy of internal communications is similar to the Mafia's code of silence, in which it's considered bad form (punishable by death) to blab to the authorities:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omert%C3%A0

"Omertà is a code of honor that places importance on silence, non-cooperation with authorities, and non-interference in the illegal actions of others."

It will be interesting to see what kind of documents this and other whistleblowers will decide to leak in the future. Facebook needs its own Snowden to expose its inner workings.

[1] I suspect that the corporate obsession with secrecy we're seeing here is not unique to Facebook. What's unique is the irony of a privacy-destroying company insisting on its own right to privacy.

Just a guess, but because the base of the toilet needs to support users of all body weights, a sturdy material like porcelain (or clay) is used.
