To be frank, this is bad advice [EDIT: parent wasn't giving advice, so instead this should read as something like "Talking to police without your attorney present is a very risky idea..."] that probably literally every criminal defense attorney in the United States will disagree with (I am not a lawyer, however, to be clear). A better framing perhaps is that there are two scenarios if you are being interrogated by the police:

(1) The police have enough evidence to charge you with a crime

(2) The police do not have enough evidence to charge you with a crime

They do not have to tell you (and can actively lie!) which scenario you are in, and these scenarios are only loosely correlated with whether or not you actually recently committed a crime.

In scenario (1), they're going to charge you with a crime no matter what you say - they already have enough evidence. And anything you say to the police in this scenario can only be used as evidence against you to further strengthen the police's case, it cannot be used in your own defense in court. So it's better to remain silent.

In scenario (2), if you remain silent, they cannot charge you with a crime - they don't have enough evidence and you're not giving them any (asserting your right to remain silent is not evidence). If you answer their questions, you might accidentally give them enough evidence to charge you with a crime, like contradicting your own story because your memory is fallible. The police are allowed to lie to you, ask you trick questions, wear you down, and in general do anything they can to get a confession or other evidence against you. The things you say here can only be used against you to strengthen the police's case. So it's better to remain silent.

If you are being interrogated by the police, they are not your friends and nothing you say can help you. The only person on your side is your lawyer. Stay silent until your lawyer is in the room, and then do exactly what your lawyer says.

It's been linked elsewhere, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE is a real-life law professor and a police officer both saying exactly the same thing. American TV often includes narratives about the behavior of police officers that do not align with reality or the best interests of people accused of crimes.

I think the question to ask is what created the opioid problem in the first place - I tend to think it's lack of regulation in the pharma space.

I've criticised the author (Chris Rufo, associated with the conservative and intelligent design group Discovery Institute) in his earlier pieces (see https://www.reddit.com/r/SeattleWA/comments/acwqng/podcast_s... ) where he used seemingly incomplete estimates on the funding used in homeless initiatives and suggesting unproven solutions (large tents, sanitariums).

I'm not denying the homeless and drug problems in Seattle. I live in the same neighborhoods where I've seen people shoot up in starbucks bathrooms and on the street, RV camps of bicycle chop shops and filth. The King County complaint Rufo links to ( https://www.krcomplexlit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/King... ) arguably means the local government is trying to take that first step in recognizing "addiction is the common denominator for most of the homeless", right?

Sure I have - and like I said - it's easy to read this behavior from simply having a normal (but let's just say slightly inquisitive) conversation with someone. In fact even in recent memory I can think of multiple occasions where this behavior has emerged, simply when trying to get to the bottom of routine technical matter.
One war? Am I miscounting? There is the Spanish American war, the Mexican war, the war of 1812, the US Civil war (slave war), there were numerous Indian wars during the manifest destiny. Several wars in the Caribbean and Central America.

I’m sorry if this seems pedantic since it doesn’t affect your point, but I feel like it deserves some clarification.

Lots of people don't have support networks of people who will lend them housing. Be very careful with the presumption that anyone on the street must have burned through a support network.
> I find this to match the behavior of the dominant parties in my country

It characterises humans in general. It’s difficult for leaders to admit mistake. Political change generally increments when leaders are removed from power.
The last massive protests that looked like this took place in multiple cities over several weeks. That was leading up to the Iraq war. They were ignored.

Apparently HR did an internal audit and found no evidence of retaliation. Which isn't surprising. It just means that for every decision made by a manager in this case, they had a reasonable business justification that wasn't simply a desire to retaliate.

And that's the rub, because this cuts both ways. On the one hand, it's easy enough to come up with a non-retalitory justification for just about any decision. But on the other hand, when an employee puts themselves in this position by speaking out so visibly, then any negative eventuality is going to feel like retaliation. I honestly doubt there would be a distinguishable difference between retaliation and just the normal churn of business. It'd be impossible to tease out the underlying causality. Especially in a company where projects involving hundreds of people are regularly spun up or torn down with only a few weeks notice.

Certainly Google has a disproportionate number of people speaking out internally about the company, either opposing or in favor too any particular outcome. The company culture encourages and rewards this sort bottom-up decision making, to the point that it's relatively common to see the company change course on one decision or another based on the kind of vocal dissent that at most companies would get you fired.

Certainly plenty of people who speak out in dissent continue their careers as normal. Others leave in frustration. If there's a pattern here I certainly don't know what it is.

From my anecdotal experience living in an area filled with fentanyl shooting drug addicts I've noticed they generally are substance abusers with other drugs, such as meth or heavy drinking, ilegally procured prescription pills, cocaine etc., they have groups of fellow substance abusers they meet with daily to combine resources and when the money runs out switch to other drugs that are cheaper to buy like bags of heroin to snort which they quickly get hooked on and then I would see them on the street shooting up.

Another question is why do some countries not even have a drug taking culture in the first place. Lot's of places I've been to where the population isn't interested in any drug use despite it being decriminalized or readily available.

I agree, but I would add that sometimes addiction is related to people being overwhelmed by life events. If those life events never happened the user never would have gotten this bad.

> These are simple utilities, and I don't see why it's bad for Google to offer is own. In fact for web tests it's more useful to me. Much of what I access is Google services, so testing latency and throughput to their servers is better for me.

Small clarification: Google doesn't own the speed test. It owns the speed test client, but it performs the test against a third-party NDT server (an open-source server for bandwidth measurement)[1]. The servers are operated and maintained by M-Lab[2], a third-party consortium of companies of which Google is a member. The servers are all in commercial data centers and are completely separate from any Google service, so the speed test doesn't measure your bandwidth to Google.

This Ain't No Content
Yes, I program in my own variant in a calculator app ("Best Calculator, IOT edition") that I wrote. The calculator is programmable in BASIC; this is a surprisingly powerful combination.

Writing small programs to automate a calculation is something that should be accessible to everyone; when I created the BASIC editor and overall system the goal was to have as few steps between a user thinking "hey I want to automate this calculation" and having the program be written.

BASIC has a great sweet spot: simple commands, but still a real language. My version, of course, doesn't require line number and has real functions.

Exactly. And for those fortunate enough to have one, it is possible that the entire support network is also homeless, or in prison, or in another country, currently in rehab or a nursing home, or some mix of these.
Nah, the CSI "enhance" thing is "multi-frame super-resolution image recovery", a different (though related) ML technique.

Speaking of, though: you'd think, by now, that security cameras that capture footage at very low framerates for the sake of storage space, would have ASICS in them using those models to convolve together a bunch of grainy input frames into a stream of fewer, but very good and clean frames.

The Metaphysical Club
Yes, I hope it doesn't sound like I am trying to blame people for a situation they are trapped in. I just feel strongly that we need to underline the real issues and not let homeless people be used as a political token to push a political agenda that won't help them.
> from the article: "Everyone has a pet peeve" That is true. I feel the word content has been used and abused over and over but there are valid uses of the term, much like other terms. 'atmosphere', for example, could be used to describe a social setting or the planet's surrounding.

The main problem is when people use terms without acknowledging the context.
Also from the article: the mayor estimates the rate at 1 in 3. Still no word on methodology.
That's not really a valid reason, since not only Apple knew all along where it was heading (from Mantle times, to a common open low level API), nothing stopped them from supporting Vulkan once it became official. With Apple's resources, it's peanuts for them. So it looks like a completely political, nasty lock-in stance.
They're actually succeeding- the government has backed down and apologized. The protests are pushing on for the resignation of the Chief Executive.

A lot of the time, a big function of metering is to avoid wasteful behaviors that "free" can cause especially when consumption can be more or less open-ended. On the other hand, sometimes selling a service for a fixed monthly fee (e.g. Netflix) is preferred by consumers and the costs of heavier users aren't too high.
Cite, please. America went through a painful contraction in tax revenues during the giant recession but have bounced back since then. Taxes have not notably increased.
While this article alleges that addiction is the root cause of homelessness, it makes no effort to prove that claim. That there is correlation between the two is clear, but claiming that addiction is the root cause of homelessness of the west coast is just fear-mongering.

Determining root cause is important to finding the right solution. Further cracking down on homeless people will just transfer them from the streets to jails, where they will cost the taxpayers exorbitant amounts of money (and if they're in a private prison, create profit for private interests), while failing to get people back on their feet when they are eventually let go.

> no city on the West Coast has a solution for homeless opioid addicts

While Utah isn't technically the West coast, how does the author's claim hold up in the face of the resounding success of their efforts to reduce chronic homelessness (down 91% in a decade while saving the government 50%)? Does this proven solution fit with his root cause model?

I agree that’s why the USA was dominant in the late 20th century, but how long until that reason expires? Are we going to be in 2070 still blaming WW2 for holding Europe back?

At some point it becomes less and less about WW2 and more about the USA’s relentless optimization for economic growth at all costs, often over other things that would make this country more civilized and humane.
Regardless of how many stars the repo has on github, why would you expect someone to learn a library just to take a code challenge for your company when the job spec doesn't even mention this library as a requirement? The recruiter specified that "it should only take 2 hours" to complete the task, while thats absolutely false as I would have to read the whole API etc.
Also when I asked for a different challenge in either Vanilla JS or any other of the technologies in the job spec you completely ghosted.

It worked out absolutely fine for me since I got a much better paid job but just warned other people what to expect.
Using Zoom for reading is less ideal for long term use as it generally forces you to horizontally scroll, where as increasing font size reflows the page, so only vertical scrolling is needed.
Seems most likely to me that the public doesn’t know what to do or how to help. The things that are most publicized are often the least impactful (e.g., plastic straws. All we hear is that the house is burning but there’s no discernible authority telling laypeople what they can do about it. And we need an authority to weigh in because misinformation is rife and reasoning properly isn’t possible for laypeople (e.g., what uses more carbon, the shrink wrapped vegetables that stay fresh longer or the ones that go bad sooner but don’t use plastic? What about local organic produce that isn’t shipped as far but has much lower yields than its GMO counterparts? Etc etc). Personally I want to make a difference but I don’t know how and I am probably more in-the-know than the average layperson. I firmly believe that environmentalists and scientists need to build a credible information pipeline—it’s not enough to proclaim fear, they need to communicate what we should do. “Use less carbon is not actionable”.
It’s something the organization needs to decide. If you automate a process it means you are setting it in stone and lose flexibility . Maybe that’s a good thing or not but something people need to be aware of and accept.

uBlock Origin isn't an ad blocker?
I don’t follow your argument from having read the article. It says the original version was against sleeping with young boys, not men. And the 1983 version changed it from young boys to homosexuality. The author argues the original word was Greek and the text was to denounce Pederasty, which was a strange Greek practice. He also argues this change in word was deliberately made by as part of a larger anti gay agenda

I guess "Mechanistic understanding" was meant to contrast against machine learning, not quantum mechanics. To elaborate, machine learning means fitting of a bunch of data by a given model. In science (eg lattice QCD) one often tries to theoretically (or computationally) explore regimes where data is not yet available. As a (former?) theoretical physicist, I am more than happy to admit that this is not immediately useful, though it will hopefully become useful in the long run.
Pretty much every OS, except heavy lock-in oriented ones, where OS is controlled by some entity which prevents providing graphics drivers. In such case it's up to that entity to produce them, and in most cases their lock-in idea is against it.

> Server/commercial data usage is often not metered; bandwidth is charged at a fixed price for the provided line, or e.g. a 95%ile (making off-peak data "free").

That's not so much "unmetered" as it is "metered using a fixed heuristic for expected usage, that results in the supplier still making a profit† even if you're using 100% of what they provide."

† a profit compared to 100% usage with the relative additional costs of metering. (This is why the price is fixed around 95%—that's the break-even where metering the extra usage would cost just as much as taking the hit on the unmetered 5% extra usage.)
In my view, there's some causation running in both directions going on here. There's not ever going to be a clean "X causes Y" in this model. For some percentage of the population, the fact that they were homeless led to their addiction problem. For some percentage of the rest of the population, their addiction either directly led to or significantly contributed to them becoming homeless. Debating about which one "is the one true cause" misses the point, and won't lead us closer to a solution.

Cracking down on dealers does not work. I believe that we should legalize every drug under the sun, but require the “dangerous ones” (e.g. heroin due to risk of respiratory depression) be done under medical supervision.

The only exception being that drugs like Fentanyl should stay illegal, under the hopes that having legal morphine, heroin etc completely eliminates the demand for it. (Often fent is acquired by dealers, rather than directly by the end consumer. Although there are people that do Fent recreationally, god have mercy on them...)

The Influence of Organizational Structure on Software Quality (Case Study)(2008)
Automation eliminates jobs. Period. There is a need for people to build and maintain the automation systems, but those jobs typically pay more. Whomever is paying the higher value person would not be doing so if it wasn't a net savings, so we can rightly conclude that it takes fewer people overall even if the pay were the same. But it's not, so even fewer jobs. You may say that the automation frees up people to do other things - latent unmet demand. But if those opportunities were already present, they must have been inferior from the employee point of view or people would have switched already.
