Tell that to the people who genuinely believe that termination of pregnancies is murder. I don't deny that you see abortion in a different light (and so do I). That's the point. It's clear that the comment above is written without consideration for the fact that people have different worldviews.

Your comment is just as empowering for said activists to say "voting hasn't worked, murdering the unborn remains legal nationwide. We need to use direct action against abortion providers".

The idea that force is justified because democracy has not produced the desired outcome directly leads to a world where might makes right.

How would that fix anything? Look at the numbers of white vs black people who were picked for stop-and-frisks (read: number of white vs black people who were suspected of crime) as well as the innocence ratings: https://www.nyclu.org/en/stop-and-frisk-data

To see how innocent minorities are, look at this article about stop-and-frisks: https://www.nyclu.org/en/press-releases/nyclu-releases-repor...

If 5% of a population ("Young black and Latino males between the ages of 14 and 24") accounts for 38% of the stop-and-frisk and is innocent 80% of the time, doesn't that sound like targetting? If you look harder for crime from certain demographics, you'll find more crime from them. Replace the targetted demographic with another demographic and you'll find way more crime in that other demographic. But get this - once you target people and get stats on them, you now have "statistics" and "facts" that show you were right and should continue to target them - even though your statistics are garbage collected on unrepresentative samples! This is why per-capita is the best metric to use - any other metric is tainted.

> total number of killings for white on white or black on black is roughly the same despite the 15% number you quoted.

What does this have to do with anything? Just because there are a lot of "black on black" murders doesn't justify the amount of black people killed by cops. Honestly, I don't even care if the officers are white, black, or any other race or ethnicity. It's the victims who matter. Just because an innocent black person is killed by a black police officer, does not mean it had nothing to do with the victim's race, nor does it mean we can ignore how disproportionately policing is applied.

It takes just a few rotten apples on the side of the protestors to make it go violent.

It also takes just a few rotten apples on the side of the police to make it go violent.

Protesting is largely a modern witch hunt. It lets people blow off some steam, rather ineffectively in the modern protest case, because you don't get to burn anyone alive at the end of it. Enough people long for that witch hunt finale, and that's why protests turn violent so often, it's the modern day equivalent of burning a witch.

I don't know if protestors realize that it is up to them to come up with ways of fixing systemic issues they're upset about (people in power are fine with the way things are, by definition) - burning down your local neighbourhood or yelling out in the streets can only lead to the powers that be going 'ok fine, go find some witches to burn to appease this mob'. It's never going to fix actual systemic issues, but perhaps burning witches is good enough, given our history, and going in circles indefinitely is the way of this species.
Facebook employees stage a virtual walkout over Zuckerberg's inaction
Sadly it’s expected here. We all know PoC are sorely underrepresented in tech. We are a reflection of the problem at hand - the result of years and years of systemic racism and sexism.
Before it was looting, it was that kneeling at a football game distracts from the game. Before that, it was "no, no, protest will never work, you need to get more black people elected! Try to get a black president maybe!" Before that, it something else equally absurd.

No matter how black people try to get their voices heard about police violence, there will be people who doggedly tear those voices down by any means necessary.

We're talking about the fact that 14% of the US population can't call the cops for fear of dying.

It's NEVER good enough for white america. NEVER.
Not to mention the Malheur Refuge standoff where heavily armed protestors were handled with kid gloves.

Maybe it's to do with having guns?
This is similar to what we do in the spoken languages in North Africa / Maghreb. You take a French or English verb and you just conjugate them the same way you'd do with native verbs. So, "I deployed" -> deployit (in Tunisian Arabic), "pull" -> pulli, "did you commit it" -> commitit-ha?.

We study CS in French. Which itself, uses lots of English words in CS. I'm not sure if there is any country that studies it in Modern Standard Arabic and I can't think of a standard translation for the words above.

It's not really the case when you take into account their violent crime rate, homocide rate, rate of shooting at police and killing police.
And rightly so. That's my point: using force to override democracy is bad, and leads to a world where might makes right. The same scrutiny should be applied to the groups torching police departments.

I am not in favor of rioting/looting but historically, it has been proven effective in some cases to get changes made.

That's... Public info.
There have been a number of anti-protest bills passed in numerous states: ND, SD, OK, and TN; and for consideration in WA, OR, and NC.

Oh, and look at all the curfews imposed around the country on tens of millions of people.

You can bet gathering in groups of more than 20 will be criminalized, as well as talking about the crimes these mafiosos of the police and government leadership have committed.

The police are making the protestors' and rioters' points for them (I don't want to hear any more "bad apples" downplaying):

- shooting pepperballs at people standing on their front porches

- shooting pepperballs and beanbags at peoples' necks, risking killing them

- shooting pepperballs and beanbags at peoples' eyes, causing permanent disfigurement and loss of eyesight

- shooting pepperballs and beanbags at people running away

- shooting pepperballs and beanbags at people who are not involved

- shooting pepperballs and beanbags at journalists live on-air at point-blank range

- arresting reporters while they are live, even CNN and even after CNN

- brandishing and assaulting people by drawing their pistols and pointing them at peaceful people

- slashing tires, breaking the windows, tazing, and dragging-out people just driving along

- using obviously excessive force and immediately getting a pat on the back from their white shirt

- using their vehicles as weapons, running people over

- throwing a small woman into the curb, causing her to have a seizure and a concussion

It's either revolution now or overt totalitarianism tomorrow. People must wake-up or there will be nothing left but a disgusting, feudal dictatorship.
I never realized how importance compliance is.

Isn't that somewhere in the Bill of Rights?
Police brutality protestors should be meeting with the mayor’s office with representation from the police department and internal affairs, but the chief of police is not in charge. That’s the problem. When official channels fail to the point of Protesting in the streets, you can’t use the same channels to address the situation.

And I don’t mean “you are incapable” can’t. I mean, “You are not allowed” can’t.

>Web developers have utterly squandered all efficiency gains of the last 30 years, and

Loading Wired.com with uBlock and no javascript the page comes in below 1.5MB for me, with most functionality seemingly intact (in that the front page looks mostly normal and I can load articles that appear to have their text completely intact). The bulk of that seems to be fonts and images, which are probably unavoidable for a media site.

Some reasonable noscript whitelisting for Wired.com and a few others (out of 12 total that noscript shows me) gives a page size that's still under 5MB.

Looking at the full page with everything loaded and unblocked, the biggest offender here seems to be not web design, but an aggressively downloading autoplay video on the front page. Without that the page itself is - while not necessarily great - at least reasonably bearable.

Truth be told, I'd started this post intending to blame advertisers, and there is still some merit to that since even before the video kicks in the various third party scripts balloon the page size several times over from the minimal functional one that loads with everything blocked. But in this case, it does simply seem to be a wasteful media stream playing without regard to whether anyone wants it to or not.
No OP, but I'd imagine employability reasons. I enjoyed D but it's been around too long with too little adoption. Rust is probably cool, but hasn't seen a ton of adoption yet and Go only seems to occupy a subset of where those other languages see use.
What you're saying hinges on the people never stepping outside the bounds of what the US government deems acceptable.

Consider that the US government deems what we want (no more police brutality) unacceptable, by definition, we need to work outside the system to solve the problem.

It's similar to 2a people I've met that think that somehow the constitution guarantees their right to overthrow the US government if it becomes tyrannical. That's absurd. The US government would never let itself be overthrown. There's no internal system for such a thing.
Peaceful protesters and reporters have been tear gassed, shot, and arrested. They don't deserve to be tret like that just because others decided to vandalize and loot.

This is exactly what extremist groups exploiting the protests want. The extremists want to foment violence between the protesters and the police. The situation plays into their hands, because the police have no way of distinguishing who is who.

The circumstances are not normal. Rule of Law has broken down. By continuing the protests, peaceful protesters are creating cover for looters and violent perpetrators. Those protesters who are willfully exploiting this situation to "pressure" the authorities are having evil done for their goals.

There needs to be another kind of lockdown to prevent the spread of the contagion of violence, the contagion of chaos, and the contagion of injustice.

Can't dismiss it now. Every major corporation and most congressional lawmakers are now pushing for reform.

Especially worth looking at Rep. Joyce Beatty who is a 70 year old black woman who got peppersprayed with the protesters. An elected lawmaker was attacked by the cops. Think about it.
At the risk of sounding like I'm defending a guy I think should have been fired for conduct unbecoming an officer, I looked at the breakdown of his compensation. To be accurate, his total compensation (not just salary, but includes health benefits and probably things like reimbursements, uniform, etc); last year was closer to $230k. The $250k was the previous year. Remember that police unions have strict employment contracts where all of their overtime must be paid (they don't just make salary and work a variable number of hours).

SJPD has been chronically understaffed since at least 2008 when there were large layoffs. The department prefers to hire fewer officers, but work the existing ones longer hours (hence lots of overtime).
> What's even more bizarre is all the people who are cheering on the police brutality, and encouraging more violence against unarmed protestors.

There’s lots of people cheering on the violence. The strangest are the white collar professionals, the celebrities, and the executives. I will say, in a few instances it felt good when these Twitter agitators got spooked as the violence they wished upon others neared their own gated neighborhoods (and I don’t say this lightly as my neighborhood is being terrorized right now).

It astounds me that people persist in this naive, ignorant, and destructive viewpoint even when provided with gigabytes upon gigabytes of video evidence to the contrary.

"Cop" isn't just a job. It's a social contract amongst the police and prosecutorial apparatus.

There are no police for the police. Police rape and murder with impunity. Did you know that cops beat their domestic partners at a rate 5x greater than the general population? Fully 40% of cops are wife beaters.

They can do whatever they want, and taxpayers end up paying the civil suit settlements that follow.

This isn't an issue with some criminal minority. Everyone who wears the uniform is either a criminal directly, or is actively engaged in the criminal conspiracy to hide evidence of the group's criminal activities. The ones that don't play ball are forced out.

Here's one from yesterday: they all somehow had their body cameras off when they murdered another black guy. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/01/867281529/louisville-police-c...

If people didn't stop being willfully blind when it came out that Chicago PD has a whole dedicated black site for kidnapping and torturing people prior to trial, they probably won't ever be.

There are no good career cops. The entire concept is rotten to its core, which was created and established specifically to address the risk of property damage by the poor and escaped slaves.

The first letter of ACAB is by far the most important one.
There's no reason this requires DHCP, or even for the DNS server to be on the router. You could assign static IPs everywhere and still have the DNS server perform lookups to its hosts file.
Instead of optimizing protesting don't kill black people.
There now appear to be police that want violence now too. In my city they’re ignoring looters and tear gassing the protestors. There is no public safety rationale for that.

What I meant is that some people simply don't speak English and still can be productive while working in tech. There is no reason to be "shocked" about it. That is all.

Whether they can learn or not is a different discussion. And I really do not want to get into some "who has it harder?" victimization game, but it surprises me that you don't see the exclusionary nature of expecting people to learn English to study and participate in discussions regarding Computer Science.
Excellent macro forward looking analysis.
Being a police officer isn't a dangerous job, it isn't even in the top 10 of most dangerous jobs in the US. No one thanks the 7-11 clerk for the danger they put themselves into so you can buy a Slurpee at 2AM in the morning. No one thanks the crab fisherman who risk their lives so you can enjoy "all you can eat" snow crab legs at Red Lobster.

There's lots of extremely brutal jobs that are thankless. People who pick your food. Visit central California during summer where people are picking produce in 100+ degree weather for 10 hours day. It's hard back breaking work.

Being a police officer is a well paid job with a pension where most of your day is filling out paperwork.
Rutger Bregman has some interesting comments on Milgram and other similar studies:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXrlYoeMkic
Cars last far longer than 15 years on average. For the average car in the US to be almost 12 years old means they must last on average about 25 years as the rate of car production has been increasing.

Secondly, GDP to CO2 figures are a poor fit. Agriculture for example is directly 10% of US CO2 emissions but only 5.4% of GDP.

Sure, I will - it's a shame that the cops refused to follow the science on the subject and deescelate protests. Instead they chose to fire on peaceful protesters and kick off a riot.

It's not like this kind of shit isn't studied. What article are we commenting on right now? This information has been available for a very, very long time.

So, to everyone that has been harmed by the police, directly (having their eyes shot out, being choked to death), or indirectly (property damage due to an avoidable riot), I think the police should be held responsible.
Yes, it was pretty much bullshit, I am not happy about my role back then.

A "extension" is by definition something they do not require, since otherwise DNS clients written before that extension would not be able to interoperate with them. That's what makes it a "extension" rather than a unconsionable violation of backwards compatiblity.

And that particular extension exists solely as means for DNS proxies to violate the privacy of their users by leaking client identity data to upstream DNS servers. There are several reasons why Cloudflare is evil and needs to die (especially ReCaptcha and associated attacks on TOR), but archive.is is firmly in the wrong on this particular point.

While true, from a game theory point of view you should be making the assumption that they are villainous. Likewise, you also need to assume that every interaction the deal with can result in them being attacked. From that position you can then start to create reasonable legislation and rules to protect both sides.
There's no amount of handwaving that will excuse Apple for messing up their signin authentication, mobile throttling, faulty keyboards being delivered for years despite customer outcry or allowing anyone to login as root with blank password on macos. Those things should get caught in basic QA. It's not rocket science.

I repeat: it's incompetence.
Was everyone wearing masks and practicing social distancing of at least 6 feet? Weren’t we told that the reopen protesters were putting people at risk by protesting from their cars? I don’t disagree with the reason for protest, but if a church can’t be open, even outdoors, and an extended family picnic is illegal in a public park, then I am not sure the rationale for allowing protests now. The first amendment isn’t conditional on the reasons for gathering or speaking. The mayor of Oakland even supported the protests held there while just recently maintaining that “non-essential” businesses couldn’t open. I am just trying to reconcile why a small restaurant in Oakland can’t be open, but thousands of people marching in a massive group is somehow allowed. And it seems, politically speaking that a similar demographic that was just days ago telling everyone to stay home to protect us from the plague suddenly changed their public health tune as soon as something they care about was the issue.

Are the lockdowns optional now? Are they situational depending on the politics of the event? Because it sure seems like it. Georgia got hammered for reopening too early, but nobody had much to say about Atlanta having massive protests over the past days. Either the lockdowns are unnecessary or they are necessary and people are putting public health at serious risk with these “large gatherings.”

I wish we could reboot 2020. It’s a g-damned mess.
> Though it’s still early days, adopting a Zettelkasten has been one of my most productive habits.

If productivity is measured against the volume of notes taken, sure. Otherwise probably not. Notes are an intermediate step to build something else, which is the real output on which productivity is usually measured.
>A little fucking ironic, isn't it, to have the police forcing tens to hundreds of protestors to not be able to breathe at this protest?
