Most victims (and perpetrators) of shootings in America are black or Hispanic. It's quite likely that America's excess gun violence problem compared to other high gun ownership countries wouldn't exist without those two groups. It may be entirely due to the violent culture they have which white people somehow don't have, despite their access to the same TV and movies.

Yes, I have home owners insurance to cover this. The reason the homeowners brought a lawsuit is so insurance can recoup their money. The insurance co cannot sue as themselves, they must subrogate the homeowner and the only way to do that is by
waiting for a civil suit (and the ins co fulfilling their duty to indemnify)

I’m shocked at the number of people talking authoritatively about this case and yet forget the basics of home ownership..
> So if a shooter sets up in a sufficiently expensive property, the police have to sit there passively and risk being shot because they don't have the money to pay for the damage caused by going in? That makes no sense.

No, you let the police do what they need to do AND you have them pay the homeowner for damages. The government should have some sort of insurance for this.
It’s been almost 30 years and I still don’t understand why browsers exist. Isolated client-server apps were always better. Except that app design now emulates the browser. Soon we’ll have wasm apps that look and feel like windows 1.0 and call it revolutionary.
However in many other countries, in case after case, the police do de-escalate.

What is different?

I will not use Brave because I disagree with the legitimacy it gives to ads on the web. I want an ad-free web, or at least an ads-in-anything-like-their-current-form web. If that means the web is 1000x smaller than it currently is, then fine - most of the web today is total garbage anyway. I don't care about jobs supported by ads, because they're another form of 21st century bullshit job and we can invent some other forms of bullshit job to replace those lost to an ad-free web.
It seems that the risk of complications and death goes up with age. Also kids can be carriers even if they don't fall sick. Imagine kids bringing it home to grandparents. Suspending school meetings is the right call.
Just be aware that you're placing a lot of trust in them.

It is adding a dependency on the Brave developers not to mess up and create security holes, in addition to whatever trust you place in the Chrome project itself. (A browser plugin requires somewhat less trust since it's sandboxed, but the permissions are still pretty scary.)

But I guess it's like buying an Android phone from anyone besides Google? Or installing packages from Debian and hoping they fix more security issues than they add, compared to the original developer. It's usually true, but not always.

They are really unevenly distributed though. Many major cities are short on police, while most suburbs have plenty to spare. This has a lot of effects on day to day, for example in most cities you aren’t getting a traffic ticket unless you do something egregious, the police will see you commit a very minor offense (probably on accident), and just shrug and let it go. They have no time to spare. But in a lot of suburbs they’ll come ticket you with this attitude that they’ve saved the world from a criminal. It’s frustrating.
No need to invent hypotheticals when we’re dealing with an actual, unfolding crisis.

The cost of closing schools, canceling events, etc, for several weeks would have been very disruptive and expensive. But it stood a chance of containing this.

Now we’re experiencing the beginning of the economic impact plus we’re allowing this to become a pandemic — and probably seasonal. It’s hard to see how the cost won’t be astronomically higher in choosing to react rather than take proactive steps.

And we chose this path with Italy and China already showing us the seriousness of this virus.
What went wrong with the coronavirus tests in the U.S.
I’m not sure that things are actually changing all that quickly. Instead, we’re just watching a pendulum swing from one extreme (control) to another extreme (freedom).

And its this repeated movement between the two extremes which are providing our incremental improvements, since we keep the good parts from each end, and use those as the foundation for what the next extreme will look like.

Programming provides an interesting microcosm of this, if you look at overall attitudes towards variable typing.

What have I learned? Nothing new; “this too shall pass” is a phrase much older than I am. But I’m able to accept it, and take advantage of the gains of the wild pendulum’s swing without being caught up in it myself.

Ten Problems for Press and Media in the 2020s
It's somewhat ad hoc. Generally you'll want to find who owns the actual infrastructure, and get as close to an agreement with them as possible.

I.E. There will be some huge Zayo fiber that is resold by a bunch of different carriers. They are B2B only and don't sell directly to end users and have fairly high minimum commitments. Find the closest point that you can connect to it, and do wireless from that point outwards.

Or you can do an interconnect/backhaul type agreement (L3 used to be great at these before they were acquired by Clink). This is where you are only buying a link back to a colocation. From there you can do direct peering or pick from several transit providers at pricing you can only get in that sort of environment.

Fundamentally the problem is:

If the fiber is there, then likely you'll have 50 carriers all reselling it and you are just number 51.

If the fiber isn't there, then you'll have a difficult time providing suitable bandwidth.
In most cases, it is perfectly fine.

It may be different if you develop something which is a library (rather than app) AND it is big enough you consider backporting changes to older versions.

If you don't, release branches (rather than tags) are nothing by a burden.
It’s not inconceivable though that there will be another generation/location combination who will experience this (see for example how entire countries have the internet turned off for longer and longer periods).
The police shouldn’t have any obligation to arrest a perp on the perp’s schedule. They have to be able to go in and attack him if need be. The shoplifter could have de-escalated.

If I print out american dollars that don't represent anything and start trading those dollars in the capital market then I will go to jail for counterfeiting. This is 100% producing currency out of thin air.

But wait, change that american dollar to crypto, then everything is legal. This is because crypto represents high technology and buzz wordy concepts. Everybody knows that buzzwords makes everything legal and right.

I've been in multiple roles over the years, software development, ERP support, internal IT auditor, and now in an data engineering role. I'm a proficient polyglot who has been programming for since junior high (15+ years experience, started out with C++ and Python).

Looking for managerial / senior / lead / consulting roles.
As a new ISP, you're not going to get any peering arrangements. Really, as an existing consumer ISP not in the top 10 or 20, you're not going to get any peering arrangements. Consumer ISPs generate very asymmetric traffic (more down than up) which tampers with the core "equality" assumption of traditional peering arrangements.

You'll need to purchase transit from an existing provider, such as CenturyLink's commercial arm or Verizon Business, there are plenty more. This won't be free but it also probably won't be as expensive as you think. In a city you can get a Gigabit dedicated to you for $2k a month, maybe less. Shop around. Most of these providers will put you on the phone with a network engineer as part of the quoting process and they can be helpful in recommending what service level and equipment you get.

IPv4 allocations are hard to come by unless you want to bid on them at auction which can be expensive. You probably want to get a block from your provider, but they'll be hard to talk into giving you more than say a /29 and they might charge you more for it. Often they don't, though, they just put you in a queue sorted by customer size and you'll never get to the top of it. As a small ISP, CGNAT is probably going to be your only choice for IPv4. This also has the downside of being non-portable since the addresses will always belong to your provider. Maybe save up money to bid on your very own. Once you get one you'll want to start participating in BGP which is complicated anyway, so get to that later, once you have customers.
How about we just learn skill for its own sake and hobby?

You never seem to hear about doomsday sort of things in the same vein from Europe’s news outlets.

American sure have a strange fixation on doomsday prepping for their own family, but not on a societal level. Prepping on a societal level will likely stave off collapse of society as we know it as opposed to living through a post-apocalypse.

Like, we could use a little bit of prepping for a pandemic that we're currently undergoing through instead of being unprepared every time, like investing much more in learning how to make and test vaccines quickly or keeping more masks on hand.
You have to identify yourself to police, though. After that you should find out if you're free to leave / request a lawyer.

Is it me or I see, sometimes regular thrashing of America - which is good if its valid - but I feel like there is some sort of deep bias by Europeans that everything is rosy up in the EU and everything America does is substandard. May be you didn't mean that but I want to mention this bias as part of the HN community as a whole.

The pattern largely is: X seems to be an American issue. We never do X in Europe. It comes off as a prejudice filled opinion - I've met many europeans that come off extremely rude against Americans. Tribalism makes people less pleasant and unproductive in making arguments. We should stop doing this and talk about the issue at hand.
Have you thought about organizing a small group of 3-5 kids to get together and work through the material, under the guidance of a parent? I homeschooled for a couple years and this was pretty effective within that community.
Yeah it is worth money. Similar to how heroin is worth money.

It would've been nice to see some numbers to show the capital required to build it. For the area he's in, just trenching in the fiber from the cell tower would cost $50K / mile on the low end. Then he has to pay for transit. And possibly leasing fiber depending on how he sets that up. That all costs thousands per month.

It looks like the guy lives in Marin County California, which is a pretty affluent area. He has enough money to live there while (seemingly) leisuring out on the ocean, not working for 6+ years. He made it sound like sharing the internet as an ISP didn't even occur to him until neighbors asked about it so he was ready to plonk down pretty hefty amounts of cash for just his own usage (I don't blame him of course, I'd do the same).

So yes, you too can start an ISP out of your garage, if you have a fat bank account. :-)
Saying that police should consider and bear some responsibility for the consequences of a fast and aggressive response and accordingly sometimes avoid it is very different from police "having an obligation to arrest a perp on the perp's schedule".

In civil cases this is used as leverage by wealthy people. The wealthy can sustain a legal battle for as long as they want. They know that if their opponent isn't as wealthy, they'll be forced to settle, even for an unreasonable amount, just because they won't be able to afford defending themselves properly.

Hmm. Every civil case I've been involved with was decided not by relative wealth, but by the strength of the case. In every case, the less wealthy party won, and the wealthy party got stuck with legal fees. In many cases, the less wealthy person was represented by a lawyer who was paid mostly on contingency.
Thanks for the post. It seems that we need a way to set a virtual class schedule where a teacher teaches and kids can ask questions. Reading lesson is too hard for kids. Specifically if you're not used to learning that way.
That is a curious omission. I think the wiki page I linked below or another doc I tried to find something more accurate (than my recollection of fifteen year old medical documentaries) said that the regrown nerves are often weaker. Something is better than nothing.

Now that you mention it, something about the article bothered me regarding rejection too. She said that they told her they had a blood type match to a donor. I was under the impression that there were much more precise tissue matching criteria that reduce the rate and chance of rejection. But second or third hand medical info can be pretty awful. She was likely much more focused on “I get to feed myself again” than medical accuracy.

That guy who got the first hand transplant, I hear they were removed again. I believe he said that they started to itch so bad when rejection started that he took the doctors’ advice.

The thing you're overlooking is financial motive. If there's money to be made selling illegal secure communications software to criminal enterprises, then someone will make that software available and easy to use.

You and I don't use custom e2e software because there are good products already available.

To somewhat counter the point about unencrypted communication between criminals, see the leaked opsec guides of some terrorist organizations. They're fairly sophisticated and it seems unlikely that lack of legally available solutions would prevent them from acquiring replacements.
Browsers were built to distribute information via web pages (not apps originally). They’ve evolved since then (in the name of distributing information and entertainment more efficiently), to the point where they can emulate a native app.

Apps are deployed via the browser today for one simple reason - they’re everywhere, and you can write your app once an run it just about anywhere.

It’s the promise of Java, realized.
Why would you ever want to pay off your mortgage? Mortgages are the best and cheapest way to get debt. Considering the rate environment, the rate risk isn’t a big deal, IMO. Hell, I would even go a step further: dump that 200k into a levered S&P 500 (2x should be good). Unless the world falls apart, you’ll definitely be a millionaire in 10 years. And if you do 3x, maybe even 5 years (that’s some more risk though).

I can’t really imagine a world in which the annualized yield of SPY over 10 years is less than 2.7%. And like I said before, rates are only going down and that’s not going to change anytime soon. Of course a financial advisor wouldn’t tell you to do it but they don’t really care about you in the first place.

Do you need to take phone calls and answer messages while riding your bike?

When it became obvious to me that the scenario described in the article was going to be increasingly common, I started to carry my phone in airplane mode, in an electromagnetically shielded pouch (most of which only work marginally), when in transit from place to place. I only turn GPS on when I need it. This also has a nice side-effect of prolonging battery life.

As far as bike fitness tracking, I have and highly recommend the Sigma BC 14.16 bike computer - it runs for over a year on a single coin cell battery, comes with a barometric altimeter, and even does altitude plotting. And it does not and cannot report you to the police!

I'm 26 and I can't for the life of me understand the appeal of tiktok, my girlfriend who's a few years younger than me likes it, we'll be sitting on the couch and she'll be watching videos and I just don't get it. On the flip side, she doesn't really like reddit which a site I use almost daily - to each their own I guess.

Tiktok is the first app or piece of technology or whatever you want to call it that made me feel "old", up until now I've been able to pick up on new trends and things that are popular with ease, I used Facebook early on, Instagram when it became popular and snapchat too but tiktok just didn't stick. I guess it's a small sign of things to come as I get older.

As soon as the suspect fled, it became a case of resisting arrest and disobeying a police officer and probably several other charges (home invasion too?).

Arguably the police officer did his job, perhaps even bending over backward to protect the suspect's rights. Though, a more traditional "alright, buddy, put your hands up, you're under arrest!" at gunpoint might have forestalled the ensuing situation.

Absolutely agree that the homeowner should get some kind of redress for what was done to his home.
