The requirements of society are to practice restraint and portray ourselves at our best. It’s manipulation, mutually agreed upon and without negative connotation. Being able to observe extreme and moderate things at the same time doesn’t make them completely different actions that aren’t at all related.
> The situation you sketch is not comparable to the school bus case.

So what? The argument I responded to didn't use any aspect of the school bus case. It was "You don't get to make the call. A stop sign means stop, so you have to stop."

And that argument is obviously bunk. A red traffic light also means stop; it is perfectly comparable to a stop sign.

Happiness can come from many sources not on that list. For example, you could hire cheerleaders to entice your male team and make them happy, but that is unlikely to make them more productive. Sounds ridiculous, nobody would do that right? But a company in China did.

The parent isn’t discounting male on male crime, in fact quite the opposite. He was responding to a comment about maybe men need more protection than women.

So your analogy to the police discounting black on black crime isn’t correct.

There is ongoing support for React Native for Mac.

http://www.reactnative.com/build-os-x-desktop-apps-using-rea...

You got me there on GNU/Linux support, which doesn't mean it will not come later. They just need to decide which flavour of Linux desktop one is supposed to support in React Native.
Even if the law is fair in 99.9% of the cases, if that 0.1% means you're on the hook for more than you can afford, it's rational not to risk it.
That might be the case economically, but this isn't the future that I or end users want, look where this has gotten modern desktop development, you now have sluggish, slow, bloated applications vying for end user's resources.

e.g. An end user using Discord and Slack has to download 2 Electron applications (~500MB of disk space) and this is for a chat app, Ripcord [0] can do both with less RAM resources and disk space.

> The alternative to electron is not always a leaner different framework.

You can have both, there are newer frameworks popping up such as Flutter, React Native and Reason Native.

Back when the bosozoku were more active (even 2012 was interesting compared to now), there were certain main streets that had a near-constant police presence between midnight and 4am on Saturday nights. The police would use those big staffs to knock the bikers off of their rides sometimes.
Actalis is a major Italian CA that works mainly with big banks and the public sector, like (from the bug report)

- the Tuscany Region (e.g. O=Rete Telematica Regionale Toscana, etc.)

- the Piedmont Region (e.g. O=CSI Piemonte, etc.)

- central public government (eg. O=Bank of Italy, Ministry of Transports, etc.)

- major banks (e.g. O=Unicredit S.p.A., FinecoBank, etc.)

- large private companies (e.g. O=SNAM, Terna, Wind, etc.)

- chambers of commerce
It's similar in Poland. It's against the law to cross the street on red light. Even if the street is completely empty of cars. So what police and city guard often do is hide somewhere in the bushes near universities and catch students trying to cross the street 'illegally'. It's an easy and safe way to bump up statistics and make some money off tickets. Unfortunately, in many cases, performance review for police is done on number of cases and money made off tickets rather than severity of crimes. As a result you have police bothering low hanging fruit in form of teenagers and avoiding the tough crimes like murderers and drug dealers.
Most of the companies actually don't mention Brexit in public communications, because they are trying to avoid alienating the government (as much as half their UK customers). They were hoping to have the public purse cover their trouble and continue with business as usual.

In the end, only Jaguar-LandRover (arguably the more "British" manufacturer) seems to have partially managed to pull that off with a 500m loan; everyone else (even Nissan, who supposedly got some guarantees in writing from the previous administration) decided it's not worth the trouble and is in the process of slowly divesting.
I assure you having taken a 8hr class has approximately no impact on whether one sanitizes combs and the desire of management to provide the resources necessary to sanitize combs is the determining factor.

The unlabeled vertical axis makes it difficult to tell how these are perceived, given the very nonuniform spectral sensitivity of the human eye.

>presumption of innocence is on the individual, not on whether there was a crime or not

This is still wrong. A crime is an act of a person, which fulfills rather strict criteria. Both the legal theory and typical legislation [1] requires, among other, mens rea - guilty mind. Without a specific person convicted, you can't say with certainty there was a guilty mind. Thus indeed, before conviction we can't tell with certainty that there was a crime committed.

In your example of "murder", all we can say with certainty is that a person is dead. Evidence may establish a 3rd party was involved, which would indicate killing (as opposed to accident, natural causes, or self harm). There still remain three distinct possibilities: criminal murder, or the lower culpability of homicide (for example, a negligent homicide), or justified killing (for example, act of self defense). Those possibilities span the whole gamut from culpability to innocence, and warrant much different end results for the alleged perpetrator.

In case of the DieselGate here, investigating & prosecuting is the correct & practical option. We all suspect there was a crime, but there's a reason justice is dispensed via a deliberative process, rather than via mob rule.

Moreover, white collar crimes like the DieselGate usually don't have evidence as clear cut as an official memo saying, "I, hereby undersigned, order my underlings to break the law by doing X, Y, and Z.". A more realistic scenario is a series of emails & phone calls saying, "make the new engine meet the target parameters by this quarter's end", coupled with tacitly ignoring a footnote in an engineer's memo saying, "However we recommend against leaving the high performance mode enabled for production vehicles", along with a nod to a mid level manager who asks, "should we match the high performance mode to that of our competitors' car models X, Y, and Z?". In which case establishing responsibility & culpability will take some thorough work.

One of the reasons I think, is that the bbc app has a "popular" tab which I think is all most people bother with, and that never has gilets jaunes news.

What can appear to be a suicide can still be murder if the suicide victim had been exploited and sees no way out. Until someone has been in that position, its easy to believe the world is not run by criminals. The UK's NHS don't involve the Police when people attempt suicide, in fact in my experience GP's will give the suicidal person advice on ways to make the suicide work in a painless way. It will never get to court because of patient confidentiality and a GP will almost always be believed over the patient. Its a no win situation for the suicidal individual.
Do you breed flying pigs too?
Over the years my friends and I have come up with some variants, with varying degrees of fun/sanity.

1) Start with all pieces off the board. To make a move, you can either put a piece onto your half of the board, or move an existing pieces. Captured pieces cannot be reused (or maybe they can, if you want some sort of bughouse variant).

2) Put a sticker under one pawn on each side. These are the 'assassins'. Be sure to randomise your pawns without looking at their bases. During the game, as a move, you may turn over one of your opponent's pawns - if it is the assassin, you may choose to reveal it. If you do, you now control that piece as if it's your colour and may move it immediately. This of course means you have a 1/4 chance of the opposing king being in check, in which case you can capture it and end the game right there.

3) Ghost pieces. Whenever a piece is captured, remember the square on which it died - it now haunts this square. Any time during the game, a ghost piece may make any capturing move from its square, but instead of capturing the opposing piece, it merely frightens it. Frightened pieces can't move during your opponent's next turn.

4) Tunnels! Cut out some cardboard or paper in a randomish shape to overlay any number of squares in the middle of the board. This represents rock, into which pieces cannot move. The first move a piece makes into the rock weakens it. The second clears the rock out of the way (keep a pair of scissors handy).

Some of this seemed like a good idea at the time.

Practically all LED lamps have current regulators, either a resistor or capacitor, and in practice this works quite well and is reliable; the flicker is due to a lack of a reservoir capacitor, either because the manufacturer was being cheap, or the lamp doesn't physically have enough room for one.

I'm guessing their LTS is whatever Google's released to an extent. Google Chrome is the basis for Electron, it would be a bad move to be over a year behind Chrome, which would lend to poor support from Google Chrome's dev team. At least that's my take on it, I'm not involved with either project. Maybe someone else here has better input over the matter.

Your point about urban planning is an important one, and one I often point out when trying to explain the difference between being poor in the US and e.g. in western Europe.

Urban (and rural!) sprawl makes the economic burden of car ownership universal and unavoidable.

No, they're pointing out that the French protests have been covered in depth. There's no particular reason they should have equal coverage. Hong Kong was a British colony until 1997.
They were also predominantly more computer-savvy users back then. And it would probably be very difficult to convince users that it's somehow better to type "facebook.com" instead of "facebook". The extra letters appear completely redundant. Indeed, from a technical perspective, I fail to see why the "big names" shouldn't just be hoisted to top-level domains.

Not sure for Linux, but Mac has a fork of react native, and things are a bit slower now until we see what happens with UXKit.
Lazarus is easier than the first two by far and you get self-contained native executables (no runtime requirements or extra DLLs, at least on Windows), native widgets (on Linux you can choose between Gtk and Qt, though the latter does need a "bridge" .so), very low memory consumption (think a handful of MBs for a very simple application and memory requirements do not grow much outside of your own use - to give a ballpark, i just opened Lazarus itself with a simple program and the task manager reports just 36MB of RAM use for the entire IDE) and very good performance.

From the development side you get WYSIWYG UI editing, an IDE that has deep understanding of the code and updates it "live" as you make modifications to the UI (and other "managed" components), very fast compilation times, a very mature and rich framework (which is also very stable as the developers almost never break backwards compatibility meaning your code will compile for years to come) and recently the IDE got an online package manager and installer (repositories existed for years but they were manual to install).

Also the entire IDE can run and be usable even on a first generation Raspberry Pi (though for comfort, especially with the UI designer, it is a better to use something slightly faster).

The negative side is that as it relies on native widgets, it is much harder to create custom themes. Though there are themeable controls available (especially if you are not against paying for them as there are a few companies selling commercial components for Lazarus). Personally i prefer native controls anyway.

Which is, why there should be more, not less information available to the user (without clicking the TLS icon and probably proceeding into a sub-dialog.) Just establishing "any TLS" as the new normal doesn't especially help in a world, where you get a certificate for free with a new domain.

Edit: E.g., have a dedicated status bar, displaying to whom the certificate was issued by what CA and what the security level (level of identification) is, possibly color coded. (Your bank must have a red certificate issued on its name, otherwise, run.) Prefetch certificates for links and display them side by side with the link target in said status bar, etc,...
>This contradicts scientific findings.

That's pretty vague. You keep saying that things are "well-established" by science, but don't provide proper citations. The literature on Kenyan athletic performance is mostly pretty speculative and inconclusive. The article that you yourself cite in an earlier comment (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4037248/) has a very tentative conclusion:

"A critical analysis of this unique phenomenon has shown that these athletes do not descend from a single isolated genetic profile.4 The data suggest that the genes most studied and associated with performance in aerobic endurance running (ACE and ACTN3) do not seem to fully explain the success of these athletes. It seems unlikely that Africa is producing unique genotypes that cannot be found in other parts of the world. So far, the evidence shows that the subjects’ phenotype (molded over time by several factors) seems to have greater influence than their genotype in their long-distance running success.4 While recognizing that this field of study is at an early stage of understanding, the available results show that the identified candidate genes for human performance neither determine nor exclude the possibility of athletic success. Although, the right choice of parents can help in the search for athletic success, this is not the deciding factor between success and failure in sport.4"
No? I'm not suggesting that.

I don't believe they merit equivalent courage today, in nearly August 2019. No news organisation is covering the protests in France now as fervently as they were when the protests were at their zenith.

I got an offer to do ML on video data recently, but turned it down to do some non-ML software eng. instead, for double the money. The ML work would be way cooler, but it would at a startup (=stressful) and double the money means half the time to reach FIRE.

The caveat is that I've worked on ML in the past and I think that the work is maybe less intellectual than software engineering - with complex enough models they become impossible to understand and you start to just try out ideas based on random intuitions. The thing I mostly like about it is the ability to use math and more independent style of work - no scrum, less need for cooperation with other team members etc..
Wasn't this 14 countries and about the "lesser duty" rules?
However some articles do paint different pictures with the same facts - for example https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/apr/01/steel-crisi... makes it sound like it was all the UK's fault based upon opinion. However, reading non-left learning media upon the same facts yields a different picture.

Though I may of missed something - please could you point a source that shows that the UK was the only country to vote to keep cheap Chinese steel imports? Asking as I thought this was actually 14 countries, and about some import duty rule that covers many things above and beyond, cheap steel.
So the issue is that no other country in the world will take them? Even if we assume that’s true, that’s reason enough to be grateful. People are literally dying to break into the country for the opportunity that these folks are complaining is inadequate.

Anecdata: a female friend of mine was beaten up by her boyfriend (who was a pimp at a "soapy") and sent me pics of the bruises. I told her to go to the police. She said they would do nothing, something about her dad having a bad reputation (I didn't fully understand her Japanese text messages). I said go anyway and at least try, she's got clear evidence.

She did. They did nothing. And I've got several other similar stories from other women I've known. There is a LOT of unreported domestic violence and sexual assault in Japan.

I tried to "AWS for meal prep" once. Basically, I predicted people would be doing more meal prep startups like Blue Apron.

The problem was that you had to own the supply chain to do it. Sort of like how websites used to have to set up their own servers, load balancers, and so on.

If you were doing meal prep, you'd have to look for boxes/packaging, negotiate (cold) transportation or look for riders, source cheap/clean food, kosher/halal, food storage, economy of scale, etc.

I wanted to set something up where someone could just tell a service to deliver a box with 50g of spaghetti, 2 cans of tomatoes, fresh basil, etc.

But it was too ambitious. Investors said to simplify it. Or that there was no market. Eventually me and my partner chickened out and just did foodstuff that we could deliver by mail.
It's a good thing if it would scale, but I would like to see kits to reduce NOx emissions. It should be far easier to do and scale. After cheating scandals people, like me, are left with the cars that increasingly can't be driven in city centers. What will happen with those cars? They will head east. If such kits would be available one could dream about governments forcing car companies to pay at least significant part of the bill. However with current lobby it seems impossible to get a penny from car companies.

From what I understand those kits would need to tank adblue as trucks do. But whatever, I prefer that to breathing NOx.
Not sure how they want to get out that. VW committed to be guilty in the deal they made with the EPA if I remember well.
