> People take fruit and vegetables, and put the money in the box--or if the farmer is tech-savvy enough, through their phones. And even if a few people don't pay, they still get more money from their inventory than shipping it to a wholesaler or a grocery store. (As far as I know, direct to a local gourmet restaurant pays best.)

It does.

> The employee would likely have to stop $200/day of petty theft. That doesn't seem impossible, but the problem is that if you pay your employee minimum wage, they don't actually care that people are stealing from their employer, because they have no actual incentive to do anything beyond what is the bare minimum requirement to avoid getting fired, which may be just catching one shoplifter per day.

> And then, after all, if one caught every shoplifter, every day, people would stop trying, and one might miss quota on later days. The person whose job depends on shoplifters has a perverse incentive to encourage shoplifting, just as cobra-catchers have an incentive to breed and release snakes.

You just explained the the broken window type fallacy of LEO and Police in general. When the crime no longer exists, you create it... by force. Oddly enough, it also applies to loss prevention.

> So the problem is more that it's too expensive to hire someone at a rate high enough to make them care about doing their job well, instead of just keeping it indefinitely while gaming the right metrics.

Agreed. And again, it applies to more than just shoplifting prevention.
Just wanted to say I appreciate how candid and direct your answer is, even though it might be displeasing to some people to hear.

"This doesn't happen"

(shows a video of it happening)

"This isn't widespread"

So how many videos do you need to see? 2? 10? 15???
You are right about the problem of leaking metadata - just by asking for the file reveals to the world that you know about it.

However, this is something that can be fixed on IPFS itself, and I believe it is even in their roadmap: the idea of adding "friend peers". Your IPFS node could ask for sensitive files to this privileged list of nodes only.

So, your client can have a simple logic: if you have e2e encrypted message with IPFS-linked media, ask only the group member peers about the contents of the file. Messages that are not e2e (or marked as non-sensitive) can be asked to the global IPFS swarm.
The looters take advantage of the chaos. The chaos seems willingly and knowingly caused by the police. I would at this point consider the police atleast somewhat responsible for the conditions that lead to the looting.
I want to be clear that I'm not intending to make a value judgment, like scientists are better than engineers or vice versa. And I agree that it's not about degrees; people with engineering degrees work in science and vice versa.
But they were already violent, just to the peaceful protesters. So why was there a massive police force at a peaceful protest, where they were already willing to brutally engage with the protesters, but not in soho where there were looters two days in a row?

Your argument can't possibly be "Because they didn't want to escalate" or "They didn't want people to think they're violent" when they did escalate and were violent elsewhere.

I am in full agreement that it was tactical - it allows them to punish a neighborhood and to shift the story.
He is insincere so any conversation he has is meaningless. For everyone including Mark Zuckerberg look at what they do not what they say.
In all seriousness, what is incorrect about that statement? Take a look at all the video taken since Saturday, then compare it to, say, the protests against lockdowns just a few weeks ago. Surely you see the very notable difference?
Just wanted to say thanks. I've been running my own homeserver for a little over two years now without any real issue.

I somehow managed to convince 4 of my friends to use Riot and it's been great. We were originally using Group Me.

My friends are not tech savvy and couldn't care less about software freedom or privacy, but I was able to convince them to switch by luring them with the fact that they could post unlimited size videos. It's actually the easiest way to share high quality videos between Android and iOS users.

The only thing that annoys me is when you release updates to the default configuration file and I have to manually resolve the differences in the middle of an APT upgrade. That's not a big deal though.

Might as well start somewhere.
> So a lot of people that use conda write software that assumes those libraries are always available e.g leaving them out of requirements.txt or setup.py.

How is that any different than using python.org python? You'd still be unaware of what versions to use.

> you're getting a subtlety or maybe not so subtlety different version of it using standard pip, which creates the worst kind of hard to trace bugs.

That's way more of a problem with pip. You have no idea what versions a pip package is pulling in until install and then what binary actually gets installed depends on your compilers.

> certain installations of Anaconda overwrite the system python version with it's own (so you can just use numpy or whatever anywhere) causing a huge headache with other system software and making using the standard distribution tools even harder.

That's impossible unless one is actually copying binaries manually overtop of system binaries. You'd have to be root or use sudo to overwrite the system python manually. The whole point of isolation is to keep system python isolated and stable for system stability. That can happen if someone installs python from python.org and copies it into place.

> but if you're creating any kind of collaborative software, especially if you'll be working with SW engineers down the line, avoid Conda at all costs.

If you are working with SW engineers, you better know what versions you are pulling in, because you are going to be in serious pain using pip and trying to understand the provenance of your packages. Conda is way more powerful here for serious engineers to specify exact versions and reproducible and exact builds.

The copyrighted translations are not thousands of years old, which kind of defeats the original point. I mean I understand it was a kind of exaggeration for effect, but excepting a very few 'evergreen' titles, the value of a publisher's back catalog tails off very rapidly with age.

And they don’t feel strongly because they don’t have to care. I know I don’t. I could never open a newspaper or go to a protest and live quite blissfully. I’m white, I’m a man, I’m an engineer. So I’m safe. Everything seems to work just fine for me. I have friends struggling to pay rent, my girlfriend has trouble finding peers at school who will treat her like an equal, but I get an inbox full of emails all the time from companies begging to pay me amounts of money that boggle even my mind. I’m 27 and I make more than both my parents combined, of course you don’t see me fighting for a union. I can barely keep up with all the perks I already get! It’s rare to find someone willing to step outside their bubble and do work for someone else when they won’t benefit.

Were you able to observe whether the police instigated the looting too?
Text from webpage:

Reddit has harbored racists as policy for years /u/spez. It has led to battling racism constantly, increased by the kneeling that encompassed Black Lives Matter’s message. We are closing for 24 hours with these requests:

A reddit policy against bigotry,

Deplatforming heavy participants in hate subreddits through their main account and alts,

A way to report subreddits based on the content of their sub, and

If these cannot be met, we call for the resignation of Reddit leadership.

Thank you
Instead of dismissing it all as “bullshit” it would be more helpful to elaborate on what you deem to be inaccurate.

For example, in my limited opinion, “the police willingly complying” is an overstatement as our country does have many responsible law-abiding police officers who would not heed incitement from anyone including the president.
A while back I bought a baofeng handheld on amazon - it's not ideal as a scanner, but good enough. I've been finding plenty of crazy shit during these protests.
Wow this is a new low - using the George Floyd tragedy as a marketing opportunity.
I guess since Microsoft through GitHub controls the build process, couldn't they also include the signed source as well as a combined signature?

Idea being that one could, in theory, download the git repo, check out the relevant commit and verify that this was the source code and this was the resulting binary, and that matches the exe file I just downloaded.
> Sure, clearly the cops handled this wrong, but what got Floyd there in the 1st place?

What? Seriously, what? Are you suggesting that the police should be free to pick and choose who they kill based on whether they are a "model citizen/saint" or not?

"Do not kill a person unnecessarily" should be a universal rule the police work to. It doesn't matter one bit who they are interacting with.
Unrecognized item in bagging area!
It all started with the media, as in, police crime was documented. Now when police already uses questionable methods, cameras will point at them. Since they can't be identified in full gear, they can shoot at press without anyone stopping them, so I guess why not? They're already shooting at random people so there's a lot of aggression built up.
Mostly, US based remotes, but there can be an exception.
It's a very reasonable explanation.

I wonder what they had thought their chance of winning was at GHG height of the panic, and what is it now.

I also wonder why would they risk their other, very valuable and unique work, knowing full well that the chance of turning bankrupt is definitely nonzero.

The United States needs to take a long, hard look at the current culture of dumping the elderly into a nursing home. From what I understand, there are many cultures that instead take in the elderly into their own homes or try to keep them in their own home. I remember reading a good book on the subject, _Being Mortal_ by Dr. Gawande, a few years back. It was an eye-opener to the realities of how we treat end-of-life care in the U.S.
> That looks very suspicious, but if this were really a widespread technique by the police

Giving your comment the benefit of the doubt, that does not address the fact that a while platoon of police officers witnessed a fellow police officer vandalize public property without any reason or justification, and they didn't even flinched or complained or even frowned upon that brand of unprovoked abuse.

That's pretty much one of the central points of the whole protest.
For that to work it needs to be one person one profile with real identities. No bots.
I suspect what you're saying could definitely be a phenomenon. However, in this case, I think it's just a matter of domain and context.

I speak both English and Spanish natively, however, I'm more comfortable in English when talking about e.g. technology and music. On the other hand, I'm more comfortable in Spanish when talking about math, feelings, etc.

As you can probably already tell, it's not like math and feelings are very related. It's just that I've probably been more exposed to those things in Spanish than in English. Same goes for technology and music topics, I've just been exposed to them in English a lot more than in Spanish.

Btw, I also had to write a dissertation in Spanish and I, too, had trouble with it, hah.
> Your local police department...can help point you to some

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but to put it lightly, I do not plan on asking the police for suggestions.

That said I think the rest of the ideas are valid.

> Data can be a positive tool to keep everyone

I agree, but data solutions are tricky because there's so much misinformation going on right now. It's really easy for data to be fabricated (other than video (kind of)), and even if it's not, people would (rightly) be cautious to trust it. Data validation might be an interesting problem to tackle but I don't know how you solve that with tech.

Beats the heck out of me. But sales tax, at least in the beginning, was a way to generate state revenue for the sale of new items. It had no baring for private sales between two persons for a used item which already had its tax paid when it was originally bought.

this is the very problem with censorship. messages aren't exact so on some level you have to be subjective.

the very fact that twitter interpreted it as bigoted enough to sensor, and you didn't points a red arrow to why any censorship is bad.
The looting is giving them political cover to attack those who directly threaten their identity. It's quite clear from their other actions where their priorities lie.

They have no (personal) reason to stop the looting, and at the same time, occupying their attention, the opportunity to strike out at that (very personal) threat.

I did that weighing in a store and it was an absolute disaster. Cumbersome and error prone, especially when you have larger items etc. I think that has huge hidden losses in people choosing manual checkouts or worse - avoiding the store all together.

Self checkout without that works well in many supermarkets, IKEA etc. There are losses but with random checks they are lower than the staff costs - so It's a win.

Sure, if IPFS gets that feature, maybe it's worth it. (Although maybe not - at that point IPFS is just an overweight tooling for downloading files from a list of known peers block by block.) I wouldn't hold my breath though.

I wouldn't recommend an RPi for product development. There are better SoCs, like i.MX, with documented graphics pipelines and graphic/video/camera overlays that are easy to use.
It was a better situation when anything would just run. Defender scans for known malware and that should be enough.
This racket and Microsoft's hostility to independent developers (and apparent attempt to force them to use their Windows store?) is one of the reasons that I just can't go along with people who think that Microsoft is a "champion of open source" now or benign actor in the business world. They are fundamentally corrupt and cutthroat.

I recently wiped Windows and loaded up Pop! OS. It works great. And I never get a message saying "this software is suspicious" just because it's not in an official Deb package or something. If I add a PPA or download a binary or whatever I do, there are basic permissions required, but it does not automatically say "this is probably dangerous so I stopped it" just because the distro doesn't recognize the software. That is ridiculous.
so what? rioting is still against the law.

Destroying businesses and property of fellow citizens to get your point across will always fall on deaf ears. The only possible way to achieve your goals by rioting is completely terrorizing everyone into submission. Good luck with that.
dev.ionic.com is in particular an answer to, "how do you back up your encryption keys, or even put them in escrow somewhere?"
Pretty sure some switches (to this day) can be tricked into doing similar. eg send them a few specially crafted packets, and they fall back into broadcasting ~everything like a hub for some period of time.

Not from the point of view of "legal intercept" stuff, more like "switch gets confused and doesn't know how to route, so broadcasts as a workaround".
words are never exact and therefore the message is always subjective.

censorship is bad.

I believe the "1 in 100 odds of dying in a car crash" is during your lifetime, not per annum. If you look at the likelihood of death from an auto accident in a given year its more like 1 in 8,300. [1]

Because COVID will (hopefully) become less threatening over time as the pandemic resolves the lifetime odds of death from it will be lower.

I agree that banning trump would be a major news event. How does that relate to my statement that you quoted?

The president can announce war, policies, and executive orders. Normal individuals can not. Preventing individuals from seeing these announcements is obviously more impactful than whatever the typical citizen is saying.

Even if the speech is violent, hateful, or racist, it valuable to see it. Perhaps even moreso because of the content,
Note to FB employees: ask your boss Zuckerberg to fire the former police officers fired for using excessive force who work as his personal bodyguards.

Yes, that's right. While he's busy pretending to feel bad about the situation with bad cops, he recruits and pays them to protect his family.

In a small suburb of San Diego the protest stopped traffic. Police forced the protesters off and then riots started and two banks were burnt down.

Two weeks ago a San Diego police deputy was released from jail after serving only six months after sexually assaulting (why forced oral sex is not rape I’m not sure) 16 women that had called the police for help. He does not have to register as a sexual offender.

Protesting is legal and a protest without a disturbance is not a protest, so arresting people causing a disturbance while shutting down non-violent disturbances is disappointing.
