Obviously China is evil etc etc.

But isn't it pretty obvious these people are physically attacking armed officers as they are retreating? And they are beating up and kicking another downed officer in the head?

Whilst I might have sympathy for their cause the kid struck an armed officer with a weapon whilst he wielded a gun as his friends beat another armed officer. I have very little sympathy for anyone who makes such poor decisions in a group delerium of impunity.

Edit: If anyone downvoting would care to offer another option, that would be appreciated
> the minimap is super useful

Is that really something you use all the time? I tried to switch from emacs to vscode in 2017, but in practice the minimap didn't do that much for me. Nor did the graphical file view to the left. The emacs experience is just too fast and good, even though it means I need to carry my customizations with me everywhere to get those intellisense popups and spelling squigglies.

>We will have much bigger problems when it's possible for people to kill large swathes of innocent people and have a high probability of getting away with it.

You have just described every war and oppressive dictatorship in human history.
I'm not sure what you mean by that but there's a limit to how many more people you are going to attract with more money. Quality of the job in rural areas for doctors is pretty low as you don't get a lot of other specialties to help you and you don't have the same tools available either.
I didn’t say they weren’t hiring plenty of locals. But they seemed to import the guys running things. The ratio could be 20:1 Local:Chinese or even higher. Basically a Chinese guy saying where to dig, and tons of locals digging. They definitely aren’t bringing in Chinese labourers.

This is great news. It was always unfair to me that you required consent but people didn't know that they did. I do think companies try to get around it by making the opt in the most logical thing to click for an average user. In the UK the ICO with PECR is already ahead of this (doesn't enforce it, yet). They specifically require opt in from the visitor [1].

We from Simple Analytics [2] see a lot of companies trying to find solutions and we had several calls with companies on how to get the needed information without cookies. You can for example still record a user flow within a Single Page App a long as it's in a session.

I object to the characterization in this thread of all casual coworker interaction a being social and meaningless to the work. This view is just plain wrong. I know many here will disagree and say they are on big projects with remote teams that don't socialize; if that's true and you're delivering work than I've got to believe someone behind the scenes is doing extra work to hold it together.
> It was an era when it was still an open question whether the Wikipedia should have pro-pedophilia advocacy in their entries.

NAMBLA and similar will take every opportunity to push pro-paedophile[1] and pro-abuse positions. Your example just speaks to the nativity of Wikipedia (and a bunch of other US tech companies) around people who commit contact offences against children.

But we need to be clear: this was not in anyway a mainstream position. It was a smallish number of child abusers gaming a system.

The most recent example isn't just about what he said though. It's about how he said it. And it's this that people find unacceptable. The discussion was about how to manage the potentially serious image problem when a high profile member of the organisation has been accused of sexually assaulting a child.

Either he doesn't know that this is the wrong time to say those things, or he does know and doesn't care, but either way it made it harder for other people to do their job - managing the comms of having your organisation financially linked to a high profile sex offender.

[1] I guess we need to say that some people with a sexual interest in children will not commit offences against children, and so some pro-paedophile commentary is acceptable.

At first I was excited because the Sonos software stack frustrates me, but looking at source it just hits api.sonos.com. Would love to control the speakers directly on my LAN.
In my case it was. The washing machine died, the repairman said the circuit board died, a new one is say 120, plus 80 for his work (all numbers approximate). His recommendation was to buy a new one.

I found somebody on ebay that repairs the boards for 35 (same developed country), popped the hood, took the cables off and sent the small plastic enclosing by post. They probably just replaced a capacitor or so, sent it back to me and voila.

So I don't think the legislation is perfect, but I'm happy there's some movement in the right direction. I think it's obscene to throw away the whole thing because of a tiny repair. Everything still depends on having people skilled to do repairs, but that's maybe also part of the problem. Why is a repair person's job these days to take a manufacturer's part in a plastic enclosing and connect the cables? I can do that myself. If it was some advanced technology fine, but it isn't for a lot of things.

Sadly not, I would love to reach out to as many people as possible, but the problem is that developing to two both Android and iOS at the same time makes it harder to focus and grow the product from an MVP into a real useful everyday product. And with the limited resources that makes it even harder.
Is this the first incident of direct escalation to live ammunition being fired?
True, but what about intended consequences my friend. Companies obviously have a vested interest in getting us to buy new products, rather than have us repair the older ones. So, I guess a little regulation will be ok.
>now suddenly "reading" books that have been available in a huge variety of formats in the public domain for years because they show up on Instagram?

I can't speak to the 300k number but an increase in readership is plausible because I saw how reducing friction to consume a book can massively change reading habits. E.g. my friend with the new Kindle finally got around to reading the classics like "Madame Bovary" and "Anna Karenina" because she could get ebooks from Amazon for $0.00 (or sometimes a tiny amount like 95 cents).

The previous existence of those public domain books on Gutenberg Project's website was irrelevant since the HTML or TXT files weren't easy to consume unless one printed them out on a printer.

Yes, public domain books have always been sold on Amazon as real paper books but the shipping would end up being $3.99 even for a book costing $0.00.

The Kindle e-reader was the technology to enable her to read public domain books for free with minimum friction. (Even a trip to the public library to check out and later return a physical book for "free" is too much of a hassle.)

I can see how this NYPL project is trying to make a friction-free book reading experience for Instagram users who already own their smartphones. No Kindle purchase necessary. (In my other comment, I mention how millions of Chinese people are reading books on their smartphones.)

“We don’t want to move [the record archive] to some museum, we want it to be accessible,” Curran told me.

If not in a museum, what does it mean for records to be accessible? If you keep it physical, only a select relative few will ever access it.

Start digitizing it, then, if needed, auction off the interesting records to fund the rest of the effort.
Not to defend what the police have been doing overall during this protest, but in this specific incident you can see the protestors beating a police officer on the ground, and the protestor who got shot was swinging a metal pipe at the police officer that shot him.

I read his biography over a decade ago in one night and it has stayed with me probably more than any other book I've read. It's such a gripping read. His talent and intellect were so clear that it makes his story all the more tragic.

Just one small anecdote from the book. By the time he was like 13 or 14 he was playing in the biggest underground card games on the East Coast. We're talking sketchy backrooms of bars hanging with some of the shadiest people betting tens of thousands of dollars. Not only was he super young, he had a small underdeveloped frame that made him look even younger.

So how was he able to get by in such an environment taking the money of shady characters much older and bigger than him? He was backed by the mob! Yup, his talent was so apparent at even such a young age, that the mafia took an interest in him and backed him both financially and physically from harm.

I really suggest any one interested to read the book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/074347659X/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_v...

Fully agree about Go; however, if you can't move away from Python, github.com/pantsbuild/pex is a pretty good alternative. It's an executable zip file that contains all of your python dependencies; you still need the Python interpreter and any shared objects that don't come with pip (e.g., for whatever reason, the Python graphviz package depends on the graphviz-devel system package and the latter doesn't ship via Pypi). It's still an order of magnitude worse than Go, but it's an order of magnitude better than pip or pipenv. :)

Ask HN: Has anyone here ever built their own PCI device?
I thought it'd be a kinda cool project to do so, even if it's just something super simple like an echo device, but from my understanding many microcontrollers aren't fast enough to support a PCI bus and the general advice I've found is to use an FPGA (unfortunately, which I have zero understanding of at the time). FPGA dev boards seem to be relatively expensive, except cheaper chinese ones which seem to run a little over $100.

Has anyone done this before. Did you write about it? What sort of hardware did you use?
Hey, lovely answer, I will take my time to go through all of this.

I currently research mental representation such as emotions in applied computing which is near-at-hand with ToM and although many of the theories seem intuitive, the replication crisis is something that really bothered me (since I come from a STEM background).

I will read through your post and definitely check the sources, thank you very much!

As for your last point, ToM+Autism might be one of the more interesting aspects of ToM research and as far as I can tell, we are far from conclusive theories.

> These cheap news websites will take some term relating to Boris Johnson, like Bus or Model, and engineer articles that will get clicks in order to generate advertising revenue.

The three websites mentioned are amongst the UK's biggest news websites, reporting on legitimate Boris-related news (ie his alleged affair with Arcuri and his rather farcical claim that he's a model of restraint). The claim in the tweet is that Boris used the wording 'model of restraint' to try to mask the other story, though if this is true it clearly didn't work very well. It's credible mostly because of the prior bus incident; it's actually a fairly reasonable explanation for Boris spouting what otherwise appeared to be contextless nonsense.

> One leak and his career would be over, I mean come on it does not make any sense.

Wait, you think _this_ would be the controversy to sink Boris Johnson? Really? Boris is now so unpopular that the people who still like him are largely almost unshakeable, but even before his recent troubles, this would not have moved the dial.

Entirely irrelevant as there is a video of the kid hitting a police officer with his gun drawn. This is entirely self inflicted.

There is no strategic advantage to physically attacking a police officer in this context. It didn't further a cause in any conflict. If you go and hit someone with a gun pointed at you it is undeniable that the person acted in self defence.

I hate to be defending these things, but the hypocrisy and hyperbole are unhelpful in understanding the truth

Corrupt societies hurt everything they touch. Decriminalizing bribery, as you suggest, would help turn the USA into a stereotype of a third world country - where government officials and private businesses alike demand graft and bribes at every step of a business transaction.

Moving money like that is also, inter alia, going to corrupt the income tax system - if employees are receiving a significant percentage of their income through cash bribes from customers, it’s unlikely they’d report it properly on their income tax.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_bribery

These laws seem quite reasonable to me. Do you also believe an employee stealing or embezzling funds from their employer should be a civil, not criminal matter?

Edit: to add, some of the colleges in the admissions scandal were public, not private colleges - USC and UCLA. So bribery of the officials in that case was bribery of an employee of the state, not just a private business. It should be obvious that legalizing bribery of state employees is a very dangerous path to go down.
