Hybrid engineer & recent grad (December 2019). Happy to work on product or full stack. Not afraid to flex sales/ops muscles either. Growth mindset. I was working on my own venture but pandemic resulted in a loss of funding. Hoping to join a team where I can have an impact, learn + grow, and add value to people + product.
Why the fit ?
Of course not- and that has nothing to do with the situation I was talking about.

I was giving an example where the worst case was still "good" overall.

You are giving an example where the worst case is "bad" overall.. so, duh?
Doesn't any difference then become a way for websites to detect if you're in incognito, which is something browsers have been fighting back and forth every version?

According to this article [0], more than 20 were killed over the weekend in Chicago, when the previous max in one day was 10. Average people killed per day is about 2. I think it's safe to say the majority of those were due to the riots. That doesn't count numerous other cities where deaths occured.

> I'd hope that you would agree that the Government cannot unilaterally execute people, and that just sitting there while it does so is... completely immoral.

No of course I don't want the government executing people. But the death of George Floyd was the result of actions from one man, not of the entire government. I think you would be hard-pressed to find any member of the government that didn't see an issue with what happened.

This is important to introduce into the discussion. I have felt that in the vast majority of controversial police shootings, especially in the mistaken identity cases, they were likely the result of a hair-trigger reflex and being on high alert, with your conditioning telling you that if an adversary either gets the jump on you or even gets into a strategically advantageous position, today is the day that you are going home in a body bag.

Part of the training also drills in the fact that an untrained opponent with a sharp object like a knife is at a strategic advantage versus someone with a holstered firearm if they are closer than 21 feet away. Failure to maintain strategic dominance is a potentially fatal mistake.

Nobody is interested in empathizing with the mental state of the cop in these situations, and if you try to do so, you’ll be shouted down for not empathizing with the family and friends of the deceased. This is not only a false dichotomy, but it precludes you from arriving at possible solutions. The goal of this exercise is not to feel sorrow for the officer, but to discover the root cause of this pattern. Only after doing so can you expect to find solutions, and ultimately, save lives.

It is not acceptable to have a non-zero casualty rate, and what most people fail to understand is that the average human, even with training and experience (and often, experience is actually a liability, not an asset - people with PTSD are further compromised) cannot accurately assess and process a potential threat 100% of the time. This is the simple explanation for why these incidents seem to happen so frequently. Yet the general public thinks that police are somehow different from the average human, and that their brains do not work like their own. Or perhaps more accurately, they don’t understand how their own brain works, so in their mental re-enactment of the scenario, they make the correct decisions, and conclude that the only remaining explanation is hate, racism, or some other evil that only police seem to have.

If anyone wants to get a glimpse into what this environment does to a person, next time you go for dinner with a veteran, take note of where they sit at the table. More often than not, they will prefer to select a position that does not leave their back exposed to an entrance. Even in a harmless restaurant, their brain is instinctively on high alert for potential threats. That’s also why many of them cannot sleep.

IMHO, the way to prevent these errors is to prevent the number of opportunities to make a fatal mistake.

None of this is to suggest a complete lack of malice in all cases - but most of the time, people are people, and they will continue to do what people do, uniform or not.
You know how some people are quiet in real life but are more open online? I think Trump is like that. IMO Without Twitter he wouldn't have the guts to spit out the stuff he's tweeted, he'd not have the balls to go before the press and actually say some of the vile things he's tweeted...
> system is absolutely insignificant.

TBH I don't know. How much money is spent determining whether or not someone is eligible for welfare? How much is spent on sourcing vendors and distribution?

> have a neighbor

Ehhhhhh lot of things going on here and lots of ways to look at it. I can think of a bunch of ways to make this work out, but ultimately, it's a Chesterton's fence issue: without understanding why things are the way they are - which you'd only get by engaging with the person - any solution is both likely to fail, and likely to result in disempowerment; contributing both to an immediate failure and, I'd expect, many future failures.

If UBI resolves, to pull a number from no-where, 90% of the issues social workers are needed for, now you've got 10x the social workers to do that engagement with your neighbor.
Very few people understand fascism because it's a very context-specific and loosely-defined ideology. Unlike Marxists, fascists rarely wrote books. So if you read any book about fascism, the first chapter typically struggles with even defining what it actually is.

The Wikipedia page on 'Definitions of fascism' is almost as long as the page on fascism itself:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism

Today, it's used by both the left and the right to just mean "bad people", as far as I can tell.
While I think Cotton is a jackass, I can’t help but notice how your first paragraph is about Oakland, California, and your second paragraph is about a guy who is a Senator in Kentucky.[1]

Oakland has had a Democratic mayor since 1977. California routinely has a super-majority of Democrats in the state legislature, and the last Republican Federal Senator from the state left office almost 30 years ago. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that the second paragraph after mentioning the “fraught” relationship between black residents and the Oakland PD should have something to do with those Democrats who have direct executive and legislative control over the city and state, who are directly in charge of hiring/firing police chiefs and operating the state level internal affairs bureaus, and who set police department budgets and make the laws. And maybe the (admittedly deplorable) coded language a Republican Senator thousands of miles away uses belongs many paragraphs below that.

[1] Interesting fact. Oakland and Louisville are ranked similarly (188 versus 194) on Urban Institute’s “economic inclusiveness” index: https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/97981/...
> The US has a doctrine of first sale which says there is no right to control distribution. There's a right to control copying, that's it.

Leaving aside the long running issue that despite some people's claims here that US copyright law is evil and run by megacorps while the reality is that the US is in breach of many of it's treaty commitments on copyright (and has been for a long time), the doctrine of first sale absolutely does not say that there is no right to control distribution.

I'm not German, but as far as I know they have similar system to the one we have in Poland - you can transfer exclusive financial copyrights to another entity but you cannot transfer personal copyrights (so that you can say that you are the author of particular work even if you cannot license it to 3rd parties).
In practice, even though personal copyright is not transferable, many employers require you to sign additional civil contract in which you declare that you will never exercise your personal copyright.
Are you sure of that or are you just talking out of your ass? A 10 second google search would say you are wrong.
If that's your concern, fine. Then just ask for evidence for the lie. That takes 10 seconds, and costs the liar the 10 minutes. Don't just say "you're wrong". Even if they are in fact wrong, it's still really weak. People aren't going to believe you. (Nor should they, based on what you've presented, which is nothing but a bare denial.)
What other parameters should be prioritized while developing websites before compromising accessibility for minimalism?
Maybe I implied this too subtly: If you've got a phone camera pointed at police, there may be a legal definition difference, but effectively you're media or the content provider for them.
Right now I want the police to have all the weapons they can get their hands on, to protect themselves and their collegues.
I was originally responding to the claim that "it's still 524 times higher than the effect of the moon's gravity which creates the tides" - that's why I mentioned tidal forces. If the ice creates that much direct, local gravitational attraction[1], then my point is we shouldn't be comparing it to the moon at all (because the forces involved are not the same as those involved with the moon and tides).

[1] Even the claim about the ice sheet (and its melting) contributing significantly (via gravity) to global sea level change seems dubious since, as noted elsewhere in this discussion, the Earth Gravitational Model appears to be affected much more by factors other than ice sheet thickness or surface features.
He lists only three 'flaws' with Times New Roman. The first is:

> It was created for a newspaper, so it’s a bit narrower than most text fonts

yet all the alternatives are almost exactly the same width. Plantin is even a bit narrower. How do they "avoid its shortcomings"?

The second flaw is "italic is mediocre", which I'm not in a position to judge.

The third (and main) complaint is "it connotes apathy", and one of the suggested alternatives is:

> EQUITY (designed by me).

I'm all for artists promoting their work, as long as they're honest about it. This page is basically an ad, right?
That’s some kind of systemic problem but is it systemic _racism_? If a white or Indian etc. was murdered would the police union stonewall any less?
That is just evil. That's police using their power as a protection racket. It should be illegal, and the officers involved should be put behind bars.
SARS spilled over naturally, not from a lab.

After it spilled over naturally, it became the subject of intense study, sometimes in labs with poor procedures. Huge amounts of SARS-CoV were being cultured by people with little training.

That's an entirely different circumstance from now. The lab where they study coronaviruses in Wuhan operates at a much higher standard than poorly run Chinese labs in 2004. The lab in Wuhan wasn't even conceived back then.

It's essentially proven that SARS-CoV-2 was not under study before the outbreak, because the it's not in any of the standard databases where all known coronaviruses are published. But even disregarding that, the idea that huge quantities of a virus that nobody has ever heard of would be cultured is implausible.
No it doesn’t. Because the computer is still exhausting heat that makes the AC work harder.

29 Genetic Variants Linked to Problematic Drinking
I agree with you on the formatting of blogs. For my new philosophy blog[1] I went for hyper-minimal HTML and CSS, statically rendered with Jekyll, no JS at all. As part of that, I had to select a really nice font, since that's basically the only actual styling on the site, so I went for Literara[2], which I recently discovered and am totally enamored with. Besides Bookerly (I have a Kindle), Literata is the hands-down best font I've found for reading on screens.

I'm talking about protesters. Deflecting to looters isn't really that helpful when cops are attacking people who are peacefully demonstrating and kneeling in the street.
>Why would I believe that Americans are any different?

We don't have violent riots after every election, for one thing.
Take this example build file in Mozilla's custom, Python-based build system: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/gfx/skia/moz.bu...

The language is imperative, and the result is fully declarative. A pure functional description of this logic would worsen understanding instead of improving it, I believe, because when your conditionals affect multiple output variables, you have to duplicate the condition in multiple places.
Hello everyone,

We made an extension for organizing tab mess in our browser. We wanted our browsers without dozens of tabs.

Here's what you can do with extension and online library.

You can save articles, videos and more to your online library (Click the heart icon)

You can create collections to organize your tabs (eg. best repos and resources for Go)

You can search them on your library

You can share those collection with community and friends.

You can create learning paths, newsletters, favs lists with your collections.

You can discover hand-picked curated lists of other users. (If they are public)

Waiting for your thoughts, what do you think?
Not a protest, but this exact thing occurred during the Fort Lee Lane closure scandal, when people intentionally created road closures in New Jersey. This was national news for awhile [0]

Also, a lack of media coverage for a thing doesn't mean it doesn't happen, nor does rampant media coverage mean a thing is common. Remember the summer of the shark? [1]

Not any more BS than the lab theory is.
Honestly? No.

No police union contract includes a statement that the officers are immune from criminal investigation and prosecution, and most of the egregious events would clearly result in investigation and prosecution (if not necessarily conviction) if done by non-police. That these cases don't get that far shows the effects of a general cooperation between police and the judicial and political system---DAs don't prosecute and courts won't convict---all backed by a social system that encourages that behavior: you won't get elected on a police reform platform anywhere in the US.
If you wander a bit through the Practical Typography site, you'll realize that its whole shtick is being minimal while not looking like it was made in '94. Even the ‘Introduction’ chapter says pretty much this.

The somewhat-recent slew of ‘This is a website’ pages don't come close to PT in terms of just being nice to look at.
Not just unrestricted usage, exclusive unrestricted usage, which is why it could be a problem (instead of just being a simple case of dual licencing) if the contract claims rights to off-hours work.

German law has a clear distinction between authorship rights and usage rights. Usage rights, including reproduction, can be sold, rented, perhaps even taken illegally at gunpoint, I don't know. It's just your run off the mill intellectual property. But authorship rights cannot be transferred at all except through inheritance, it's simply impossible for A to pay B to relinquish the right to state that B is the creator of X. But outside of literature and music where special compensation schemes exist this is only about recognition and has zero economic relevance.

This authorship right is also only available to natural persons, so it's clearly not the reason why SAP and T-Systems are still claiming copyright. It just wasn't something the state buyer cared about and given that they apparently did care to get the code under Apache 2 I can't fault them, the result is almost like a reimentation of the recognition part for companies instead of natural persons.

Refactor is a good word to use if you don't want to upset the coworker who's code you completely replaced.
I’d add that price rises for bread are less to do with the fact that more people have purchasing power, and more to do with the fact that bread today is of higher quality than bread in the 70s.

Ditto cars, appliances, clothes, etc.
Well, efficient is hardly the right phrase. When it comes to heating using electricity then 100% efficiency is on the low side. A heat pump could be many times more efficient.
I'm not sure whether you are talking about the regular Matrix network on purpose, or not.

Regarding the p2p app (https://p2p.riot.im), yeah, that's a proof-of-concept they bolted onto an existing client. They could have adjusted the login page.

I need to click "Create an account" for it to work, give or take one page refresh. Then I can open the room directory and pick a room.

However, I tend to like some of that hand-holding. Plus, when someone joins a chat system, they're generally introduced to it by acquaintances that already use it, so the next onboardings are easier. Not saying it shouldn't be improved, of course.
Well that's a flawed question, as no one ever designed instagram, it evolved through iteration to its current state.

If you tried to clone instagram now, it would take years to replicate every feature (for a single dev).

A better answer is to say you would design instagram the way they originally did.... Start with a simple photo sharing platform and add features based on user feedback and demand.

That way you're solving problems people are having, not copying a solution that already exists.
Using the font menu in the address bar to change the scaling should increase find size and reflow the text to fit in that size. Currently it just zooms in a. la. pinching. It works correctly on the home page, but not in a comments page.
You can inject misinformation directly into the radio waves in many jurisdictions.

In Chicago this weekend someone was spreading a rumor that a caravan of protesters were coming from Indiana such that the police diverted resources to check it out.
I tried them out for 4 months. I kept one garment per delivery on average. I buy my clothes from thrift shops all the way to Barney's/Neiman Marcus. You can find quality at any price point. However, when their internal brands began showing up more and more in my boxes I started suspecting they were offloading "junk" on me at a premium. I thought about whether the stylists make a commission or have flexibility in pricing the garments. There were many items that I thought were overpriced for theor quality. They sent me a "flannel" shirt that had the feel of paperboard.

I thought about applying for their ML positions, because it's definitely an interesting business problem. But I got a strong feeling they don't actually use ML in their product. They're just a retailer after all.
Looks quite nice, its a bit confusing on your site though that the tooltip just always displays, I think you should add a toggle so it works as a tooltip there also :)
Federation is sending events between servers.

You could not simply replay a message as events, which contain messages, are:

* Signed by the sending server
* Reference one or more parent events in the DAG
* Have an event ID which corresponds to the hash of the entire event

So simply replaying a transaction from one server to another will result in the receiving server either dropping the request (but still returning a 200 for idempotency) or soft-faoling the event, in which the server will accept the event, but realixe it's fishy and not relay to clients.
The Supreme Court has ruled on religious freedom during a pandemic and found that the 1st Amendment rights of religious organizations were not violated as the restrictions on gathering in public applied equally to everyone.

You may disagree with the ruling, but it’s case law and reality in the US now.
Somehow Facebook managed to do to this to me despite having no FB-owned apps on my phone, using Firefox with the Facebook Container addon, and not having exposed that information on Facebook directly or through group membership or search history.

Unless they're reading my facebook messenger messages, I have no clue how they would have discerned that piece of information.

Some do, but thankfully most don't. There's really no need. It's a matter of keeping the police transparent. News orgs put up a big stink when they do go encrypted in some places.
