Don't be so sure about that, the first amendment is to categorically prevent any discussion of which speech is appropriate. Saying hate speech is restricted or that pornographic images of children are restricted is starting the discussion that was not supposed to start because it always ends in tyranny.

In the latter case, is child pornography probably indicative of a crime? Absolutely. But banning the images and their dissemination is clearly an infringement of free speech. In the former, banning hate speech is also clearly an infringement of free speech. If someone's actions result in violence or death then punish them after, and divorced from the issue of speech; do not place prior restraint on speech.
You have it backwards. Fitbit was already dead before Google bought them. They couldn't keep up with the competition, they laid off hundreds of employees, and their stock crashed 90%. Google is mopping up the pieces. Spending $2B for Fitbit is chump change for Google.
I believe the case in question was about a pretty narrow situation - travel nurses whose last case of the day took them particularly far from home, or something like that. It's not as simple as clocking in when you leave for work.

Also, how would you implement this in practice?

"I would rather target the legislative branch who can actually do something about this. It doesn't make sense to worry about the promises of a politician trying to get elected into the executive branch."

Presidents have a major influence on what lawmakers do.

First, they're the ostensible leader of their party, and to the extent they actually can and do lead, they can influence the rest of the party, including the legislature.

Second, they can also greatly influence the relationship with the opposition party, as has been made eminently clear from the polarizing effect that Obama, Bush Jr, and Trump had on their opposition.

Third, they have one of the world's biggest megaphones that they can use to push for their agenda. Witness the galvanizing effect of Kennedy's call for a space race or the Peace Corps.

Fourth, they have veto power over legislation. While legislation can still pass over a Presidential veto, it has to have a lot more support in Congress, which means that controversial reforms will have a much harder time passing.

Fifth, they can sign executive orders, which (in lieu of legislation) can also have a great effect.

But look at the car chase procedures that a lot of police have adopted - non engagement.

Some realized that putting everyone on the road in danger is not worth popping some ticket skipping asshole

Obviously with car reg and helicopters this could be mitigated, but the police could have just waited the guy out.

The crime did not warrant physical violence or disruption to third parties that eclipsed the crime itself by several orders of magnitude

The police should be punished.

Nobody would agree to have their house destroyed to catch a guy who stole their own two shirts and a belt, and it makes no sense that they should bear that burdern on behalf of a business that have an accounting column for such events.
Yes, but then it will run into that ol' leverage chestnut that will go something like: "If you allow Netflix to screen your film it will not be allowed in ours". Plus the upkeep on a theater is probably considerable, with building maintenance, rent, other expenses and so on. Would Netflix even be able to make a profit from that kind of overhead?
>The PEP process is decisive. Once a PEP is approved, it is too late for developers to give feedback. The feature will happen regardless of user feedback.

That shouldn't be the case. There should be a PEP-re-evaluation stage, once the feature is available.

It might not affect major parts of the PEP (that should be handled in the original PEP discussions), but for things that are found to be problematic in actual use, once the feature is available in beta, changes should be considered before the final release.
I'd be careful here, you have to _very_ carefully assess the domain of the subreddit visitors. My own anecdotes:

r/miata - Useless for the entire subgroup that takes their car to the track, and will very likely still give advice, it'll just be bad or outright dangerous.

r/cigars - Totally jump on bandwagons, and generally are "new" to the world of cigars.

To highlight another point, a lot of more niche subs largely cater to those new to the niche. Those are the same people commenting and giving others advice, whether they really have the knowledge to or not. This mechanism over a few months seems to turn everything into an echo chamber, and you end up with new people jumping onto a bandwagon without enough info.

Same goes for Amazon reviews, to a large degree - That $50 set of sockets might be great for someone who wants to change their oil filter, but will literally shatter for someone doing more involved work.

I think this is where the traditional forums are much better. I want my info from "serious" people who hang around the community for years, not from someone who came into it a few weeks ago, and really just want some upvotes/points/whatever.
> Keeping comment sections civil is hard and a lot of work, which would distract them from their primary purpose.

I think that's a fair point. But paying for forum accounts (ex: SomethingAwful forums) is certainly a possibility.

Before the days of the internet, clubs came-and-went based on "membership dues". The recognition that the members had to pay for the various costs of the community: the space they rented for and meet up in, ongoing expenses of equipment (ex: Yacht Club may have to pay for dock fees), etc. etc.

In a few years, when enough other people understand the importance of 3rd party financial independence, maybe this old-school club methodology (except applied to the internet: to pay for moderators, forum hosting, etc. etc.) could become more mainstream. The time isn't right yet, but I think people are beginning to wake up to the importance of an independent financial stream.
I know what you mean when it comes to OpenVPN and macOS. But any insight on why you'd prefer Algo over OpenVPN? I've been using the latter for years but would be interested in revisiting that if there are compelling reasons to do so.
One strategy “trick“ up Google is start a film studio like Amazon and Apple and they all will look alike cannabilizing each other.
I think I'm somewhat in the same pattern. My background is that I quit my position as a team lead because I wasn't happy with the day-to-day experience. Now I work for myself (consulting, remote contract work) and I'm much happier. Establishing good practices with my clients has been key, and it makes me realize as an employee, I didn't have the right leverage to work effectively with my employer.
That's funny, it didn't cross my mind at all. I said your president because I'm not from the USA, that's all.
This is the trap of equating "work" with "make money". Not all work is economically lucrative, even if it may provide real human value. Consider artists, for example. The arts don't pay very well, to the point that lots of people who would like to be full time professionals cannot afford to do so. But it adds tremendously to our social wealth.
I didn't knew what is an Electromotive force and still doesn't really understand what you meant, can you ELI5?
It's fine to vent; it's half of what the internet is for.

Since the internet is also for acting like you know what you are talking about and offering unsolicited advice, I'll also drop some here. Feel free to ignore it, and I hope you situation gets better, either at your current job or a new one.

I won't speak too much to your work skills, because I don't know you; but feeling like and worrying that you're terrible at your job is a pretty normal experience. You pretty much have to rely on whether other people think you are doing a good job because people in general are garbage at judging their own skill. It's pretty hard to tell the difference between "I think I'm doing poorly and am" and "I think I'm doing poorly and am actually doing fine", without a lot of feedback from people you trust (ideally, your coworkers).

If your coworkers think you're doing fine, well, you can't stop worrying about it, but you'll at least have some evidence against your feelings; if your coworkers think that you're under-performing, they might at least be able to offer some advice on how to do better.

The burnout advice I have to give is in three parts: first, focus on making some small, incremental progress every day; second, avoid the temptation to overwork; third, make sure to invest time in your life outside of work.

The first is both about positive thinking and also about developing good work habits. The second is because it doesn't usually work (you end up doing less with more time, which is even more depressing than feeling like you aren't getting enough done in 8 hours). The third is because you will feel better and be more resilient if your entire identity isn't invested in your job. It's easier to both to avoid burnout and to recover from it when it does happen if your job is only one part of your life.

I like a more stately release process for a language (compared to applications where I do love frequent releases).

Stability and predictability are important. Porting code to new versions is not something I want to be continuously working on, and increasing the number of OS/language/library combinations to debug is painful.

Once a year sounds about right, with important bug and security fixes being pushed out when needed.
omg how is http://answers.google.com/ still up and running with a 2-generations obsolete UI framework.
I don’t know anything about your case, but the general rule is that ideas are worthless, it’s the execution that matter.
> Growth implies

But what is growth? Making more money? More users? Happier users?

After attaining profitability I wish companies would focus on making existing users happy, instead of making more money by any means necessary. If they did that then more users + more money would follow naturally.

The sibling comment about cancer is so apt. When does "growth" become cancerous?
Hi, it's both. There's 'local' scraping where the results of what you selected is ready to download as soon as you click results - no signup or server needed.

I think overall it is still very immature, I wish there was someone more competent who lead the project. Its not just a lack of resources to blame for its many shortcomings in my opinion.

* the syntax is obtuse and limited on a completely arbitrary restriction of not wanting to extend the parser. (The idea of decoupling type annotations from the type checking implementation is completely insane)

* in most situations you will not know if mypy actually does anything on any given line of code or silently ignores it. There are some options to enable more strict checking but that is almost completely useless because...

* most/all libraries (even standard library) packages have none or very few type annotations (stubs) available and this will likely never actually get better due to its aforementioned incompetent design.

* there is a huge amount of tiny little annoyances and mistakes in the design of the type system you will stumble on when working with it on any large scale

* the mypy type inference (or lack thereof) is terrible, compare it with type inference in C++ (auto) or Rust to see the difference to a competently done type system.

* the mypy software itself has a history of a huge amount of bugs and regressions speaking to its immaturity (1,130 open issues in github at the moment)

I feel most people who will defend mypy no matter what, have probably not had the "pleasure" of using it in a significantly large codebase.

But... I still use it, people should still use it, shitty static code analysis is still better than nothing.
Because people depend in Python for real work, and are not used to the platform play havoc with them and change under their feet every few months...
So, if by some feat of governmental magic, my city were able to eliminate the homelessness problem, I might be less happy because I wouldn't see as much suffering around me?
As a beekeeper I can tell you that Neonics are a very bad and serious problem. I’m surprised that people are not much more outraged by poisoning themselves and their children.
Twitter really screwed up by shutting down Vine. What a crazy thing to think that by doing so they may have generated a national security issue? Wild.
Simple question: why is the stock up so much considering the sentiment that it is bought up by Google?
Carrier based tankers will be dependent on underway replenishment for the supply of the said fuel, and they will be insanely expensive to run. You will need a whole carrier battle group with it's escort and stuff to replace about 1-2 KC-10s (depending on the mission radius [1] - and yeah, the top mission radius of this thing will be abysmal, not even 1/3 of KC-10 and at best half of KC-135).

This is just to increase the range of carrier based aircraft. Avoid putting carriers too much in the harm's way.

I am an American-born man of Western European descent. My girlfriend is a Chinese passport holder here on H1B. I am an anarchist.

I absolutely do not understand why there is so much hate for Chinese people, Chinese companies, or the Chinese government. Literally everything has flaws, and Western Europe and USA have plenty of them.

If you are not willing to say "China does xyz but actually also my country does something similar to xyz too, and it's definitely bad"...

...then at the very least, please do not act as if your statements about Chinese nationals are 100% true for every individual. Humans are humans, they differ in meaningful ways but they also deserve dignity and respect.

Which is odd, given that we produce more stuff than ever before.

We have a couple of problems - a lot of the things we need most (dedicated time from doctors, teachers, etc.) are affected by Baumol's cost disease and in other categories, like housing, we have legally mandated shortages (it's illegal to create enough homes near transit, amenities, and jobs) so we will, by definition, never have enough.

seems useful for the types of support we recently provided the saudis in yemen. this tech would lower the marginal cost of providing that type of support significantly. doubt taxpayers will claw any of that back, though :|
Can you explain in more detail what you mean? I literally know nothing about this
You know what they say about assuming things...
hopefully other states start to do this as well, it's honestly sickening that this is still a thing to begin with.
The status quo was already established by a very qualified majority. Changing it should require a qualified majority too.

It's the same reason a thermostat is not constantly switching on and off when you cross the set temperature. Heating will start when you go a couple of degrees below the desired temperature, and it will only stop when you reach a couple of degrees more. Else, you have an unstable system (this is not my opinion, it's very basic control systems theory).
Probably. But we have entered into an arms race mentality--especially since 2016. The "if we don't do it they'll do it" makes this an unlikely scenario.

Did this change? Android-wise, I've always interpreted "sideload" as the adb method... just installing an apk in the UI isn't "sideloading", it's "install from apk" vs "install from play store".

I would go to a Netflix theater for a selection of Star Trek episodes and similar. Who needs a big fancy movie when you have narrative arcs peppered through a pre-serial normalization series?
> Your proposal only works well for US ASCII users.

No, and I explicitly mentioned UTF-8. My suggestion is that str holds arbitrary immutable binary data and that you have a method which can interrogate whether that binary data is valid UTF-8.

Yes, real world text is messy and there are lots of encodings, compression schemes, and exceptions (UTF-8 with byte order marks, overlong encodings, or surrogate pairs, as examples). If your main task is converting text between outdated or broken encodings, I don't have any problem saying you need a separate library and shouldn't burden the rest of the user base. Despite it's flaws, the majority of the world has settled on Unicode with a UTF-8 encoding.

Other than working for my own two startups a long time ago, my current job is 4 years. I think one should go elsewhere on a regular basis just to see something different. No matter how fun the work might be, it can still become too routine or similar.
Does your rpi4 have proper cooling? Unlike all past rpis, the stock cooling on the rpi4 is easily overwhelmed by even slight load, and it drastically slows down in that situation.
That was exactly my point, capability of the software, from a technical standpoint WearOS is miles ahead of anything Fitbit will have for 5+ years, but lacks the user count and apps needed. (though by using existing Android notification reply functionality they are still really far ahead in some ways.) From a user quantity factor Fitbit is miles ahead. Mix the two and you get a great (and difficult to make popular without breakout products) WearOS platform with the great user base Fitbit brings.
