Harvard Rated Asian-American Applicants Lower on Personality Traits, Suit Says
I believe you are under a mistaken assumption. It's never ok to kill the suspect. Still, one can be justified in using lethal force. It's a very subtle distinction. You never shoot to kill. That's simply murder. You shoot to stop the attack -- even if that's very likely to result in the death of the person you're shooting at. It can be justifiable to shoot somebody running at you with a deadly weapon. Shutting down the circulation is a fairly quick and reliable way to stop somebody from taking actions that threaten your life. But, once they stop running at you and crumple to the ground, you have to stop shooting. If you continue shooting, that's murder. If somebody turns to run, a civilian must stop shooting or it's murder. (In certain circumstances, the police can and should continue shooting.) Again, it's subtle.

So, it's not ok to intentionally kill the suspect, but it can be ok to use deadly force. I'll assume you're really asking why deadly force might be acceptable. A pipe in the hand is a lethal weapon. If a police officer is duty-bound to apprehend a person who is using lethal force against him, it would be insane to use anything less than lethal force in response. If an officer attempts to use less effective non-lethal means, but fails and is killed, then he is not only dead, but also has failed in his duty to protect the public just as if he had run away.

It's important to remember that these situations can happen extremely fast, under enormous stress. A routine encounter can turn deadly serious in a fraction of a second. The whole thing can be over in under three seconds. There is no time to think or reason. To think is to hesitate, and to hesitate is to die. You must have a trained reflex: if they use deadly force, then I shoot at center-of-mass. Seeing a pipe in the hand of an approaching person might be the trigger for that reflex. It's not quite so simple, though. It's best to prime the reflex by thinking it through before-hand. Police officers must constantly maintain situational awareness, thinking through possible scenarios and priming their reflexes based on who is around and how they're acting. It's a very difficult and dangerous job.
That phrase means "can I look for things for your car?" which a Spanish speaker would only use to say "Can I shop around for decorations for your car?".

I would laugh at an officer if he said that to me.
This is a gross generalization. I've stayed at many properties where the person was truly into hospitality and created a much better experience than I would get staying in someone's spare bedroom that they've never rented out before. People who host regularly often tend to leave things stocked in the house that come in handy, have maps of their favorite local restaurants and attractions, etc. whereas a small time host simply hasn't had time (or often inclination) to do those things.

Professional hosts also often have much better systems for key handoff, people you can call if something goes wrong, etc.

Personally I think these ideas are great and it's hard for me to see your post as anything more than hand wringing. I'm guessing you are hinting about something like FindFace?

If so, that train has largely sailed. Same advice as before holds: curate your social media presence and have the guts to turn down contacts that you don't want.
You left off a pretty important qualifier. If you're willing to entertain the fact that tech jobs exist outside of Silicon Valley, finding another equivalent job after winning a discrimination lawsuit against a former employer is no problem.
I like them. I use Netflix through my TV, so when I sit down I'm dedicated to watching something but I don't know what.

The promos help me figure out what is good with a very low amount of effort on my part. If I had to play the promo manually, it'd add friction to the experience. They used to do that and it was 2 button presses to find a trailer, then two button press to back out from the trailer. Now simply scrolling displays the trailer, which is perfect for someone using a TV remote control.

Data Pollution
You don't get any advantages in the selection process, but you do learn how the procurement process works in government. And yes, state agencies are great references... government entities do talk to each other, often. Your reputation with one will be known by the others. Which can be a double-edged sword if you don't have your act together, but can be the heart of your company if you are service-oriented.

However, the idea that federal is somehow a step up from state is a bit odd to me. There are 50 states, and 1 country. Targeting the federal entities is putting all your eggs in one basket. Sure, it is a big basket... but a federal budget change could crush you.
Or, and here's an idea, we can enact sane regulations like licensing requirements to prevent the negative externalities from happening in the first place.
As fun as the template contraptions can be, is anyone realistically compiling C code with the abstract C machine from the standard as their target ?

All other things being equal, I guess it's a plus to conform to the letter of the standard, except they are not.

It's much more productive to pick a few practical compilers/architectures as your target and allow yourself to work within the assumptions they provide you.

I'm sure some people will disagree but I'd much rather enable no-strict-aliasing and be on my way than trying to figure out if I actually abide by the convoluted standard rule, since, after all, it does not mandate the existence of this option.

I didn't understand the bit about being fortunate to live in a multilingual society

Here in India we have so many languages, I don't consider myself to be more fortunate than people in other societies because of this fact. If anything, I see it as a potentially massive inconvenience. It has been the root of so much conflict between communities. Entire states have been split into two because of language issues.

Feels like diversity has an exaggerated sense of value in the west. Probably not a politically correct thing to say given the obsession with race.

Do you have a link to the study? I'm curious what "relevant" means in this case.

From the beginning I've not denied that dialect can have an effect, only that I believe it to overwhelmed by a sea of countless other factors that cause someone to succeed or fail at getting into college, and I haven't seen any data that shows that it is the prevailing factor and one that truly matters.

The subtext to my comments is that this a debatable point, and I interjected because others were throwing veiled insults and calls of racism at anyone who tries to discuss this, which is an unfair way to shut conversation down.

Ah, I know WhatsApp warns you about setting up backups that it's not subject to encryption, but I guess I took that to be the entirety and not just media. Which is still a big gap, since in 2018 we share lots of media in chats.

In any case you are right that if you can restore an "encrypted" backup onto a fresh phone without any info from the old one, then all the bits necessary to do are held by parties who can be legally compelled to give them up.
If Amazon ever faces a reckoning or crisis of some kind, it will because their marketplace product is totally out of control. Sellers have completely gamed search, ratings, reviews, everything and Amazon, by design, makes it really hard to tell if you're buying something "shipped and sold by Amazon" vs some other shady seller whose products are only being fulfilled by Amazon.

I would say I'm more dissatisfied with things I buy from Amazon than almost any other merchant, and now I only buy things on Amazon if it's 1) either sold directly by Amazon (which is increasingly hard to find) or 2) really cheap and where questionable quality is not a concern.

Egregious example: Type in "wireless headphones" and the top results look like what you'd find on a corner in Chinatown than a legitimate electronics store.

Unfortunately, what you described applies to people on the spectrum too.

But I think the key is the difference between sociopaths and psychopaths. Sociopaths are usually really good at using their charisma to move up:

>Psychopaths are dangerous. They’re violent and cruel, and oftentimes downright sinister. They show no remorse for their actions, usually because of a lesion on a part of their brain responsible for fear and judgment, known as the amygdala. Psychopaths commit crimes in cold blood. They crave control and impulsivity, possess a predatory instinct, and attack proactively rather than as a reaction to confrontation: A 2002 study found that 93.3 percent of the psychopathic homicides were instrumental in nature (meaning they were more or less planned), compared with 48.4 percent of the homicides by people who weren’t psychopaths.

>Sociopaths are a different breed. They, too, may suffer from their mental illness as a result of lesioned brain regions. Upbringing may also play a larger role in a child becoming a sociopath versus those that are diagnosed as psychopaths, or the slide into dementia on the other end of the spectrum. Sociopathic behavior is manifested as conniving and deceitful, despite an outward appearance of trustworthiness or sincerity. Sociopaths are often pathological liars. They are manipulative and lack the ability to judge the morality of a situation, but not because they lack a moral compass; rather, their existing moral compass is greatly (yet not always dangerously) skewed. Pemment, for one, says this could point to both a social and neurological component.

Cities simply cannot continue having living space rented out for tourists, increasing rent for the residents and worse, removing properties entirely from the residential market.

I will be SO glad when AirBnB'ing an entire apartment as a business is shut down: I try and use it exclusively with private rooms and where it is clearly the host's usual home, or it's a property that is created specifically for tourism. I also find that in areas where city tourist tax is applied, AirBnB apartments aren't much cheaper than hotel rooms: at which point I usually look for a hotel instead if I can get better amenities. In a city like Chicago, where weekend hotels go for $250-300 a night on the low/mid end in the Loop, you are still looking at about the same with an AirBnB apartment, once you add service and cleaning fees.

Can anyone prove to me, that this isn't pushing up rents because landlords and tenants can now afford higher monthly rents knowing they can AirBnB a few weekends or more to cover the higher costs?

"Most (all?) large systems developed using Erlang make heavy use of C for low-level code, leaving Erlang to manage the parts which tend to be complex in other languages, like controlling systems spread across several machines and implementing complex protocol logic." (quoted from the Erlang FAQ).

If you don’t like a law or regulation, and so you lie about or misrepresent something to get around the law or regulation, that makes you sketchy and possibly undeserving of trust or business operation privileges.

You can vote to change the laws or regulations, speak out about them to convince others to do the same, lobby Congress, etc., all while not operating outside of the law in the meantime.

It’s absurd to defend the property owners who are doing this, as if a city having suboptimal regulatory policy just means free reign to violate the law or fraudulently avoid regulations.

> “Meanwhile the same people will instead now go to Craigslist or a local equivalent and rent out 50 properties without the need to create any accounts or earn superhost status. They won't report that income, it won't be taxed, and they probably won't have a legitimate business. Somehow this is a win.”

No. This is a ludicrous counterfactual to compare to. Operating a huge ring of short stay rental units is not just automatically profitable or worthwhile. There isn’t just huge liquid supply of renters willing to do it through some untrusted Craigslist contact, not at all.

It is specifically the Airbnb certification and the tacit endorsement that comes with being part of a mainstream booking platform that makes it attractive for someome to pay to operate a ring of units like this skirting city regulations. This is only enabled by the platform, which is why it is the right point at which to enforce regulations.

The more likely counterfactual is that those units would have been purchased either by people intending to live in them full time, or landlords looking for standard leasing opportunities for longterm tenants, both of which might be a net more productive use for the city overall.
