Ok but when they saw him, was he a threat ? Are hearsay enough to pull the trigger ? That seems irresponsible too.

Let's not conflate human worth with value to society. I hope we can all agree that all human lives are of equal worth. We all have different strengths and weaknesses though, and some of us will have strengths that align more closely with what society needs.

We're lucky enough to live in a society that's (more or less) set up so that people are rewarded proportionally to how much they can contribute to everyone else. Of course it's not perfect, and of course there are assholes and corruption, but in context of history, it's the best deal we've ever had, IMO.

No, we shouldn't put down people who aren't very smart. We should help them. But I think we need to take a step back before we start saying that the (rough) meritocracy we have set up is some kind of dystopia. Can anyone actually provide a better alternative?
The alternative perspective you're presenting sounds to me utterly cavalier about the prospect of ruining people's lives. It's like Equifax's attitude towards identity theft: it doesn't affect their profitability, so why care?

It's because such blithe dismissal of the damage caused by data gathering is so prevalent in the industry that the likelihood of devastating compromise is so high and the costs borne by the populace are spiraling upwards.

Ok then. Politicians? Citizens who don't force political change to prevent it? Over-militarization of law e.... oh, right, I'm not allowed to blame them.
The murder is definitely law enforcements fault. If they go in wanting to use deadly force without any proof that is on them.

Of course the guys who made false claims should also be in trouble, but just because they were wrong, doesn't mean the law enforcement wasn't ALSO wrong.

Modern [edit: American] law enforcement training puts so much priority on the safety of officers that it results in the deaths of unarmed innocents in this manner.

> The reality was that Finch was unarmed and that nearly every officer on the scene never saw him raise his hand with a gun in it. Several reported that they didn’t fire because they didn’t see a gun. At least one officer said that when he saw Finch dropping his hands to his waistband and pull them back up he remembered thinking, “that’s not a good idea. . . don’t be lifting, tugging at your waistband.”

Because nobody hires them on positions that have "minimum wage, paid holidays, pensions, protection from discrimination, and trade union rights" because these things cost money and the value they can deliver is below the cost of those things?

Or because flexible hours and flexible employment schedule is worth for them more than trade union rights?

"the pedestrian was at least partially at-fault for not crossing at a crosswalk"

That should be irrelevant. Even if the pedestrian is jay-walking, it's still not legal to hit them. Further, having solid evidence that the car detected the pedestrian and did nothing to avoid her mitigates the pedestrian's responsibility, no?

Also, the "center median

It's not about what you want to call them, it's about producing a meaningful map. If you want to show where disasters regularly occur and you want to use the costs of the damages as a proxy, then you have to normalize it, otherwise you may just produce a map of the value of assets.

1. The author is unfortunately misguided. It is not the society, but market/economics of today that value intelligence more than anything else, mainly because it is directly correlated with economic output. (conscientiousness being the other major factor).

2. On the other hand, Sport teams value speed, strength and agility, eye coordination, height, etc... . basically physical prowess.
You can't blame them, nobody is willing to pay to watch a bunch of average out of shape people playing a sport, but they are willing to see peak performance.

3. Same with music, film/movie, and theatre, we are naturally want to see great performances, art, and/or beautiful things.

#2 and #3 have been historically more important than #1, and now number #1 (intelligence), is becoming more important due to its economic output and not because society started valuing it more.

-- Seems like it was written by a luddite, with no concept of economy output. It like someone from 1910 saying: "We should ban automation in farming and tractors and other machinery should be banned, as where all these farmers will find jobs"...

"We must stop glorifying intelligence and treating our society as a playground for the smart minority. We should instead begin shaping our economy, our schools, even our culture with an eye to the abilities and needs of the majority, and to the full range of human capacity. The government could, for example, provide incentives to companies that resist automation, thereby preserving jobs for the less brainy. It could also discourage hiring practices that arbitrarily and counterproductively weed out the less-well-IQ’ed. This might even redound to employers’ benefit: Whatever advantages high intelligence confers on employees, it doesn’t necessarily make for more effective, better employees. "

I live in one of these areas (Huntsville, Ala., the red blob at the top of Alabama).

Here, it's tornadoes. But the thing about tornadoes is that they are incredibly localized. While the big mile-wide wedge tornadoes are can destroy a lot of property, most tornadoes are small - a few dozen to a maybe a hundred yards wide. And even the big ones affect, relatively speaking, a small area.

A tornado could destroy your neighbor's house and leave yours almost totally undamaged. The real danger is when you have an outbreak of a bunch of tornadoes hitting the same area. Even then, though, any individual person's chance of being impacted are pretty low.

That said, I haven't had any problems getting insurance. Although, after the 2011 Super Outbreak [0] my insurance went up about 20%. Which sounds like a lot but was about $200 a year increase or $17 a month. Hardly breaking the bank for me, but I can understand how it might for some.

How much training is required to effectively distinguish between a real threat and a hoax? Do police even get this training or is Swatting a relatively recent phenomenon that hasn’t made it into police training curriculum yet? “Evil police” is a nice pat answer, but rarely are such answers correct.
Agreed. Although anecdotally I agree with the statement, I agree with the pretense that those who consider themselves bright but are actually not are in reality the most likely to mock others for being less so. I've never seen a college professor, or a doctor, or an astronaut (all kinds of people I imagine to be actually intelligent) openly mock anyone.
But that existential psychological suffering will ALWAYS be there. No matter how we move lines and curves. Some people will always be missing out, and giving them more won't fix it if we provide the same benefit to all their peers as well.

There are other better ways to resolve the vicious psychological cycle you describe, but they're not material.

It would be so much less overhead to require adult sites and user content driven sites to simply add the RTA adult header and put the responsibility on parents to use parental control software.

It looks like this:

and it can be sent via http headers, or embeded in web pages.

Requiring people to register with PII is just asking for trouble.
I agree with your TL;DR
To my knowledge, no one has ever said ratings do not count.

In the article, there was no evidence to indicate that anyone at Netflix had made the claim that ratings do not count.

All they said was that they didn't release ratings, but everyone seems to know that ratings count.

So the article's title is misleading. It should say "As we all know, ratings determine whether a show is renewed."

Meritocracy doesn't seem like too bad of an idea at face value. It's far more fair than inherited wealth or class to base a society upon. Yet meritocracy does have some serious problems, as described in this article (and plenty of other places).

But it's a false dichotomy that these two are the only options.

Egalitarianism is an option that the left strongly advocates for. And I believe it to be the only real moral option in the future.

There's some talk about SAT scores here and how they relate to intelligence, and it reminded me of a truly interesting article I read the other day. It presents the idea that perhaps we shouldn't be ranking college applicants by SAT or any other factor at all for determining whether to admit them. Instead, admit qualified (TM) people based on a blind lottery: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/03/admit-everybody
Ask HN: What are the best tools to add a charity donation feature to my app?
I am thinking of building a mobile app that will have a feature where the user picks their favorite charity and donates to it in the course of using the app (similar to how smile.amazon.com allows the user to pick charities and donate to them seamlessly while using amazon). What tools are available for this use case on different platforms? Ideally I want to avoid onboarding charities one-by-one, and instead use some kind of intermediary API.

I am not experienced with payment-related tech, so apologies if this is a simplistic question.

Currently GDPR is news and there's a lot of hype around it and Instapaper is getting some attention because they failed to prepare AND, by the looks of it, decided to implement some unnecessary measures.

I'm sorry to say that this looks like a PR stunt. Are they going to block EU users for months? I think any legal action against them was very unlikely, they could have solved the situation quietly.
That was my impression as well. While hurricane prone areas are highlighted well, once you move out of those areas, the map seems to start correlating to population to a large degree. Granted there are some cities missing and and some rural areas as red spots.

Hmm... living mostly in France I see at least one person wearing a muslim or hebrew head-thinggy on the street almost every day. Is the law actually unenforced? Or are these people clerics (Imams or Rabis) going to/from work and they are exempt from this? ...just curious, gonna ask around.
Swatting is a lot less effective in other parts of the world for the simple reason that in other parts of the world the results are super boring. Two officers will come to the door, ask if everything is ok, perhaps ask to look around, and then leave as calmly as they arrived.

There's something unique about the style of US policing (perhaps training? perhaps military backgrounds? perhaps it being styled as militaristic?) that means these kind of incidents are always escalated by the police themselves.

If you want example just look on YT for "Police Bootcamp" videos like this:

https://youtu.be/0LC6FTXAxo0?t=2m12s

To Americans this might not seem odd, because you've been so conditioned to view police like the military but to people from elsewhere that's uniquely military style training and conditioning and has no place in a civilian police force.

Plus the length of training in the US is unusually low[0]

My Comcast went down yesterday for about 18 hours (I have zero other options at my apartment for high speed Internet) and I tried tethering on Verizon LTE to play some games. Latency was between 60ms and ~900ms with some random disconnects. This is in TF2, which runs on the Source engine. Anything above about 400ms is pretty unplayable.

Bandwidth caps are yet another issue. 4G is NOT a suitable alternative for me today, and won’t be in the foreseeable future. Maybe if I had a dedicated antenna transceiver on the roof (also not allowed at most apartments) and they massively upgraded tower capacity had a 10-100x increase in bandwidth caps, but....I’m not holding my breath. If Verizon can keep getting >$100/mo ARPU providing 5GB of data with Comcast getting the same for providing 1TB and both have monopoly / duopoly conditions, they have no incentives to compete or upgrade their infrastructure.

A lot of the responses to the GDPR shutdowns have been like this - "you don't need to shutdown, because you won't be fined yet."

But I have to ask, isn't shutting down a better alternative to knowingly breaking the law? Weather the fine is $2 or $20M, shouldn't following the law be most important?
Swatting is just a new twist on the long-standing pattern of high-strung police officers getting jumpy and killing people who were never a threat. There's even a famous Richard Pryor bit about it.
as a "sapiosexual" under this definition, i find it very hard to believe anyone of that orientation would turn to tinder to look for kindred spirits.
That's not how that works. If you are a police officer in the United States and you've been told you are going into a situation where your opposition is armed and has already killed at least one person you will be very nervous.

"Barriss allegedly then called the emergency 911 operators in Wichita and said he was at the address provided by Viner, that he’d just shot his father in the head, was holding his mom and sister at gunpoint, and was thinking about burning down the home with everyone inside."

That's a situation where if it is true somebody is likely going to end up hurt and I suspect the police officers tried very hard to make sure that wasn't them.

And so innocent people paid the price for a bunch of idiots duking it out over a $1.50 bet.

The part that makes no sense to me is that swatting is even possible, there are enough indicators that the call is not originating from the location indicated by the caller.

I still think this should not have happened but there is at least a little bit of leeway on seeing how this could have happened. Keep in mind that the swatters had a lot of experience in tuning their story for maximum effect on LE. This or something like it was their intention all along.
