I agree with most of your post, except police mandate part (at least on paper, implementations vary). Prevention is explicitly in public mandate of Edmonton police (first thing I found). If you look at other programs police departments sometimes have (like public outreach about securing belongings and so on), it is mainly about reducing crimes of opportunity before they happen, and only partially PR.

And that bait cars are in the same category with civil forfeitures and other things you listed.

We have police exactly so we don't have to grow slimy toxic spines ourselves. Places with weak rule of law can get by with Honor culture for example, but that has a cost.

Anglers might not be out to protect worms, but they can destroy fish populations just fine nevertheless, most lakes need to be stoked in fact.

As for not pursuing real property crimes with digital evidence, that is often a question of not having a process and infrastructure for that and balancing time spent with likelihood of getting enough for convicting. Standards for admissible evidence are there for a reason, and relaxing them would give much more power to police than to private citizens. This is going to be much worse soon, when deepfakes become popular.

NDB in the US is almost unheard of anymore. I don’t know a single pilot that willingly flies an NDB approach. I am not sure there are any NDE approaches still published in the US. And VOR in the US is being slowly phased out as well. As a side note, HIWAS is being ended in January. I don’t know of any GA aircraft that are manufactured in the past 20 years that had NDB as standard equipment and DME in modern aircraft is pretty rare (true DME, not the GPS substitute.)

I wouldn’t say “most aircraft” rely on NDB — at least not most IFR-certified aircraft actually flying. It’s pointless to use it. ILS and RNAV are by far the most common. NDB approaches aren’t required anymore on an instrument checkride.

I keep training equipment in my car which is not allowed in my workplace. Unless work changes to allow them, not having a car to keep them in just isn't tenable. I was informed in an earlier HN discussion that in some states, they would not even legally be permitted to make such a change.

1. Aren't there already lots of unionized workers in Tech?

2. If you need it, you need to set it up. Unions created from the outside are weak at best and collaborationst/employer-controlled at worst. I suggest considering the IWW as a framework:

https://www.iww.org/branches/US/CA <- story was about workers in California
https://www.iww.org/unions/dept500 <- Relevant industrial branch of the IWW

they're much smaller than UAW or CtW - but their organizational tradition is more decentralized-power, grass-roots-based, and not trying to find accommodation and common ground with employers all the time.

This only works in bigger cities, where there is plenty of heavily subsidized public transport such as Berlin. Most smaller towns that went car free killed their businesses or made them move to shopping districts on the outskirts which are still reachable by car. Leading to "dead" inner parts of town and very unhappy citizens. Oh, and skyrocketing rents in the subsidized cities such as Berlin...

Same but I've also been in places where they do look over your shoulder and I ended up fighting the tide. Everyone around me was in a constant panic mode, so I slowed my work output for 2 weeks (most I could get away with without ending up in a room talking about my work performance) where I studied and optimized the tasks consuming most of my time. Then automated them (this involved working what felt like two jobs at once pushing well over 80h a week)....

When I finished I had so much free time I could finally start doing the interesting projects and my work output was consistently 2x my co-workers. I considered explaining this to management but they had just admonished a co-worker for not doing the thing they asked and trying to improve process. So I kept it to myself.

Obviously this was a bit of a toxic work environment (early in my career) and I was luckily switched out of this group.

My point is that you can fight bad management to make a better working environment for yourself but it takes a lot of effort and you need to be strategic in what you tell them as it can backfire.

It also as dashundchen leads to isolate elderly people and people with disabilities.
As I said, if it compiles it means that there should be no bugs other than logic bugs. No null pointer exceptions because there is no `null` in Rust, for instance. No passing a wrong pointer type because doing something like `void *` in Rust only works with unsafe code. Same with mutable pointers, which only work with unsafe code. No concurrency bugs due to shared memory because passing data between threads is not possible without specialized data types.

Basically, if you've programmed in unsafe languages such as C, C++, Assembly or any language that has `null`, you know what Rust brings to the table. The Rust compiler does prevent very large classes of bugs all the while being non garbage collected. That's quite a feat!

And I'm far from being a Rust fanboy. I work with PHP, Javascript and devops tools in my day job. I'm not doing PR here. Just sharing my experience. Feel free to share yours.
> A worker without a union is like a defendant without a lawyer.

That's a bad analogy, but good unions are about self-organization of workers, not being assisted by _external_ factors.

It's also a bad analogy because unionization is, as its name suggests, forming a collective from individuals. The represented defendant is still just one person facing the justice system - and can thus hardly ever challenge its bounds.

So - unions are important, but think bigger! Take over the playing field, don't let it continue being controlled by management/capital.

I agree with others saying it seems plausible, and almost self-evident. Didn't they tell us that the Earth rang like a bell after the big Indonesian and Japanese earthquakes (where "they" are scientists being interpreted by journalists). All that dissipated energy can impact other faults. This seemed like a popularization of the recent science behind it.

Edited to add: there is also the speculation that the massive volcanism of the Deccan Traps in India were triggered by the Chicxulub impact event, because they were antipodal and roughly the same time. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps]

My issue with the content is that it's not clear whether the author is a scientist, nor whether all statements are based on scientific articles. It starts off sounding like popularizing established science, but then makes some claims without giving sources, even informal. For example, the graphic with the "+ pattern" says it is based on analysis, but doesn't say whose. Is it from a scientific article, some other article or the author's own speculation, any would be fine if it were explained. There is a "Methods" section at the end, but it isn't clear from that either: " The Sumatra data was limited to M5.5+ earthquakes, and was collected worldwide." There's a reason your English teacher told you not to use the passive voice!

In general I found the graphics and animations to be clear and informative, and the multi-media aspect well done. But there were some annoying distractions: first, the vertically scrolling text sometimes covered the key part of the graphic, like I scrolled past the right location without knowing where it was. There needs to be "sticky" places where the scrolling stops to present the next piece of information.

More critically, when the dots representing the CA quakes are moved from the map to the timeline, they loose their size. Since the whole point is to count significant quakes over time, this is a net loss of understanding and source of confusion. The fact that the one key 5.5 quake later has to be highlighted (and I almost missed it in the scrolling), shows how important it would be to keep the size. And here the argument is weak because the 5.5 quake was nearby and the next day, so not really different from an aftershock--it's like the change of graphic is used to hide the weakness of the argument.
MCAS was required to keep a linear relationship between the force applied to the flight stick and the pitch-up control moment.

There is nothing magical about this linear relationship; it is an intuitive configuration for pilots, but many other aircraft do not follow it. The requirement makes sense for single-certification, but we must be clear in understanding what is actually happening with this system.

The system counters the hazard of pilots experienced in 'regular' 737s getting close to stalling without realizing, due to lighter stick inputs not having the intended effect. Any MCAS malfunction would direct their attention to this issue.

Actual anti-stall systems (MCAS is not anti-stall, nevermind some shoddy reporting) would still function if a pilot were to approach this flight envelope. This includes cabin alerts, stick shakers, etc.

The scenario where MCAS cuts out, and it's in the envelope of conditions where it actually functions, and the pilots fail to notice this, and the MCAS inputs were needed to avoid approaching a stall, and the pilots fail to correct and avoid the stall .. it's a contrived hypothetical.

MCAS is not a system that activates on a normal flight. Only in relatively extreme circumstances does it even function, and then it only seeks to make intuitive pilot behavior less likely to approach stall conditions. A good pilot monitoring airspeed, trim angle, AoA, etc. will be able to avoid a stall just as well without the system.

This isn't me, this is the whole concept of net neutrality - the internet is a utility where all access is equal access, at least in terms of priority. (obviously we have rate limiting and people generally don't have protests about that - it's priority that is a problem)

Many of the complaints in the reaction to the article is that the article is using the language of net neutrality to argue for the opposite (pay for access, which includes the ability to pay more for privileged access).
The problem is, that the large unions in the US are terrible. They keep selling out their members instead of organizing struggle! And very often their leadership is corrupt; and their structure is centralized; and they bargain over your head etc. Just look at what Fiat-Chrysler workers are saying about the UAW these days:

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/12/10/fiat-d10.html

but nobody said it has to be _those_ unions.

It's a bit like saying that since the Republican and Democratic party are, on the whole, corrupt and subservient to corporate interests (which they are), then political organizations are a bad idea.

It isn't - you just need independent, uncorrupted, accountable, distributed-power organizations. And it's the same with unions.

Some informed person can probably tell us: are there any technical developments on the horizon which could plausibly make stingrays unviable? From a lay perspective, it seems like cell tech hasn't been designed to meet some criteria that ought to be achievable.

- Are there future cell technology standards being planned which would make it harder for a 3rd party device to impersonate a cell tower? (e.g. the police would actively need the cell network to help them sign something)

- Why can't we encrypt calls and texts in a way which doesn't let all this stuff get read? Like (handwaving) either trust the network and encrypt with a key they provide, or else some form end-to-end encryption (where maybe generating keys is part of what happens when you activate a sim card or something)?

Like, sure the lawsuits are important, but why did we end up with a system where these tools are possible?
