True, but you cannot leave the court while waiting for the court case which is usually months and having this come up as a possibility is a terrifying thing.

The problem is that it really matters the mood of that border agents. I have probably entered the us more than 20 times, and that one bad experience left me feeling super helpless.
When the military starts shooting civilians, those that are shot become martyrs and the movement becomes explosive. The military will not shoot civilians without extremely good reason - they aren't cops, after all.
I believe the phrase you're looking for is "agents provocateur."
Wanting criminals to be brought to justice in theory doesn't match the reality of the entire community being criminalized and treated as such.
What has stood out to me, even above the violence, is the sheer fear and stupidity in the eyes of officers. They have zero control over themselves. They aren't doing a job, they're just fighting people. It's incredible just how bizarrely amateur they all are. Like it was all one violent LARP to them until they met their first riot
>The article points out that many protests in the U.S. went smoothly through the practice of police and protest organizers meeting and jointly managing protests, but that this practice fell into disuse after the 1999 Seattle WTO meeting in which protesters violated the negotiated terms and police responded with violence.

Beyond the general history, this is a big ask of the protesters when one of the primary motivators for this specific protest is distrust of the police.
>The whole argument also completely ignores the fact that pretty much everything of US politics is far right from the perspective of most other countries.

I don't really mean to offend, but I think you've drunk so much of the leftwing coolaid in the US that you don't notice it anymore and consider it normal. Just try to analyze people like Don Lemon. The few clips I've seen of him are very partisan politics. Look at Time Magazine when they talked about border detention. The images used were there to paint a narrative.

The US hasn't moved to the right politically at all recently. You're getting more government spending on social programs and you're getting a more liberal stance on many social issues such as gay marriage.

If you still don't see it, then ask yourself this: how much has the religious right influenced politics recently? Because Bush cited religion as one of the reasons for war. It's clearly losing ground.
What I should've said is smaller scales. But yes you are right that it's still going to cost a few dollars , but if it was actually legal to just produce your own copies surely we would see tons of printing shop specializing in very small printing runs that minimize costs. Right now its very expensive to only print a few copies because no business model makes sense at that scale unless it's plain copying which is... illegal.
Just for some needed context, here's what IA says about "borrowing a book"[1]. The critical point,

> Click on the book you would like to borrow. You will be taken to the item page and will be given the option to Borrow This book. Click on Borrow this Book. (If the book is on loan, you will be given an option to Join Waitlist)

So, at least before "quarantime", they only propogated one copy at a time of any title.

My questions on this are very simple:

1. Did they legally acquire the books they scanned?

2. Are they only allowing one subscriber at a time to check out/read the book?

If so, then they are doing exactly what libraries do. To argue that there's some fundamental difference between a physical book and an electronic book is exactly why people hate the music industry, and if the publishing industry tries to go in the same direction, they'll get the same results.
An SFPD officer involved in misconduct during the protests was cited as having a salary north of $200,000.

How much do officers need to be paid not to shoot journalists in the eyes?
> The only thing they need to do is that if a post that went viral is debunked, they need to show a retraction to users that have engaged with the fake content.

The difficulty is the latter part. How to make sure the user see the retraction? CTR is hard man.

And China already do that, on Weibo it's a promoted feature. During its course over the years, authorities and private companies are abusing the feature, they provide half-assed debunks without further explanation, or even debunk with blatant lies. Since the retraction is a small text and often read-only, there is no proper way to debunk the debunk. PR firms use this feature to spread even more propaganda and shutdown rival messages. For example company A says ingredient X is bad for your health, company B shut it down by pointing out a tiny non-relevant loophole in the grammar, then says the research by company A is a lie, please continue to buy our product.

What to do at this point? It's a vicious circle.
Thanks! Too bad for now

There’s a video of a cop pushing a kneeling woman and then a black woman police officer yells at him for a little bit, that’s about it. I guess you could count the video of a Seattle cop telling another cop to take his knee off of a protester’s throat.
Unpopular opinion: Anything that promotes (directly or indirectly) less driver engagement with driving should just be banned from civilian roads.

I'm sure one day when everyone is being driven by allsensing selfdriving vehicles road deaths will have massively decreased. Until then, technologist just will have to learn how to get there in much more controlled environment.

A legal waiver or T&Cs should not be the only thing 'protecting' the next self driving victim.

> I have a problem with copyright being transferable. The purpose of copyright is to encourage the creators. If you transfer a copyright or license it out, its term should get shortened dramatically. "Congratulations--you got a payout. Now make something new."

That would devalue the copyright and creators would get compensated less. This also applies to a lesser extent to your other problems. Copyright outliving the author increases the value of the copyright even when the author still lives.

I also have many problems with copyright law as it stands now, but the problems are in the details, not in the principle of copyright being transferable, or of copyrights outliving the creators per se.
Yeah except this crash was on the highway. No one is taking ebikes on the highway. It’s arguably the most controlled environment there is for cars outside of a test track.

Years ago, I also lost my sense of taste for a few days (toothpaste burned my tongue)... I would also describe it as terrifying and immediately depressing. The next day I had pizza and cake with tons of frosting, but everything tasted like soap. I was really concerned that the damage to my taste was permanent. I was in disbelief for a few days. As I ate my regular meals, I just reminded myself that they were things I enjoyed. I can still vividly remember the pink frosting and the texture of the cake, and the burning sensation on my tongue that I thought was just a really effective oral hygiene move

I've found their bias mostly comes through in word choice (which is actually a big problem if you aren't actively questioning it) and stories on certain topics. I avoid any articles by Code Switch or Goats and Soda (they often focus on those topics). They've recently been leaving info out of headlines, which annoys me. Feels like the "click to find out more" behavior on ad-supported news sites.

Otherwise, I still like NPR. They write concisely, interview plenty of experts who provide reasoning, and will often share whole documents. They're very reluctant to post stories they haven't personally verified. I remember during the first few months of Trump's presidency, when so many "leaks" came out of the White House, they loosed this rule by saying the general topic and that it was unverified. They then explained the history of that topic.

Also, because they're not trying to maximize ad impressions, they don't bury the lead.

Could we please stop calling “protesters” all the people looting jewelry stores, Target, Nike, etc? These are not protesters, these are looters. Police should use any means at their disposal to protect lives and property from looters and rioters.
Police are not the only ones who have the incentive to escalate. There are clearly people (likely political anarchists) who mingle with the crowd with the specific intent of escalating and causing mayhem.
I wouldn't take #1 for granted. The Trump administration is still pushing ahead with the idea of limiting the ability of states to waive the work requirements of SNAP (food stamps), which seems like a bizarre thing to attempt at the moment.

If you're willing to halt people's food benefits during a historic recession, almost anything seem possible.
No, for two reasons:

First, no one is forcing you to have an abortion you don't want. Anti-abortion activity is for the sake of others, and never yourself. This makes it no less noble of an endeavor for your personal beliefs, but since other people having abortions don't actually affect you one wit, it's hard to see abortion as having the same urgency as police brutality, where people at random are dying daily, and anybody could be the next target.

Second, because their voices are being heard. Between the banning of funding for Planned Parenthood domestically as well as internationally, and continued restrictions to constructively ban abortion in several states, it's clear that progress is being made, so voting is working. This is not clear at all for victims of police violence, where claims have been increasing over time, not decreasing.

The US is nowhere near the highest death rate in the developed world.

Countries with higher death rates per million people include Belgium, Spain, UK, Italy, France, Sweden, Netherlands, and Ireland.

Also, it seems fishy that you're even using the phrase "in the developed world" because all of the countries that have the highest death rates are developed countries anyway.
When the organization is decentralized, then the police will need to meet protesters where they are -- communicating with many people in parallel, using the same media.
Feast or Famine: Grubhub Needs Uber Merger
I disagree that any responsibility should fall to the protesters.

The right to protest is baked into the first legal document the country as a political entity wrote. For the last 250 years politicians and cops have had the knowledge that Americans care a great deal about their right to stand in front of a statehouse and shout to their heart's content. They should create their own policies to deal with that fact. If that means ensuring no roads go near the statehouses, that there's ample space around popular protest spots, hell that there's guaranteed public restrooms in those areas, so be it. It also means that cops should have 250 years of collective knowledge in how to deescalate... But instead they've always gone the violent route (remember the 60s, when young black people were being shredded by police dogs?)

Now that being said, black lives matter in particular suffers from (in my opinion) a lack of leadership and organization. Over the weekend I wanted to attend protests. I have 100 surplus masks and shitloads of water bottles I wanted to give out. But after a straight hour of searching on every social media platform I could conceive of (as well as Google and just asking on Twitter) I found nothing but out of date websites, with articles from the beginning of the black lives matter movement.

If I want to donate money, I can choose between several different variations of the name "black lives matter," with no way to verify that these are representative organizations, or where the money goes.

During the protest (I just turned up at city hall and hoped for the best - it happened to work out), I didn't see any sort of leadership. Sure some local community leaders turned up, but nobody that represented any sort of modern iteration of a black rights movement.

Far be it from me to tell people how to best accomplish social goals - in my opinion raw, unfettered, and disorganized rage is a perfectly valid outlet for the people against the crimes of the American police system. I just feel like organization could only help.
Unfortunately, the theory does not translate into practice or hiring. The military and militarized US police force seem to actively recruit agents who fundamentally misunderstand principles of de-escalation. Whether that be riot police antagonizing civilians or armed forces provoking people abroad.

The standards for these positions must be higher, especially domestically (police).
Have you ever seen those laser glass sculptures you can have customized for a person?

I've always though those would be a good way to store data permanently
You say “most” which implies that you agree that some police are racist and violent “bad apples.” Why, then, do the “good cops” not speak out against the bad cops? Surely they could use their overwhelming numbers to get rid of the racist and violent bad apples?
There are a ton of heavy, non-looting protests going on as well.
"You're killing grandma!" isn't an attempt to have a discussion. It's at best a primal scream and at worst a bullying tactic - it aims to shut down discussion, to make anyone who disagrees with you look bad.

I saw a suggestion somewhere else that at least some subset of police responsibilities (e.g., general dealings with homeless people as one example) should be shifted to social workers. Makes sense to me.
Also, the general trend of militarizing US police forces is a systemic act against de-escalation.

I'm not sure that I agree with you that it's hard to make users see the retraction, but as you point out there's clearly ways to abuse a retraction system. It would also likely cause all of the metrics that social networks have spent years optimizing to go down.

I spent the better have of my life studying cultures and how people interact within those cultures. Twitter has been a very interesting petri dish for me to see how people interact with each other when they feel like they can say and behave any way they want.

Its interesting to see how Twitter (and social media in general) transformed from something positive where you could find community within a large subset of people and then all patted each other on the back and it was really cool place to hang out but then it slowly became this cesspool of negativity. Twitter just let it happen and now we're at at a tipping point where you have to decide if you want the government to intervene and regulate, or simply let it slide into oblivion.

The even more interesting thing is all of the people I know and worked with in those early days fled Twitter for Mastondon. Now they're saying the same thing is already happening on that platform as well.
Could we please not waste a second of thought on the relatively minor issue of broken store windows until we sort the issue of cops indiscriminately killing black people?

If you care so much, how about petition your local police force to dump their tear gas at the range and stop firing on peaceful protesters, turning a lot of sitting people into a riot.
If tech can be generalized to "tool", tech is the defining feature of humanity. Language, fire, society and even art can all fall under this umbrella.

In many ways, humans exist for tech rather than the opposite. "Tech" in the abstract exists in the collective minds of humanity, and will endure as long as humanity endures, even when individuals perish. When an individual contributes to tech it is passed down through the ages, a small form of immortality.

I speak Indonesian and used to work in Jakarta. Discussions usually used Indonesian language, but jargon and technical terms were always in English. Some terms were just Indonesian-ised English words (like aplikasi - which I’m sure most English speakers could guess the meaning of). I found other terms did have proper Indonesian words, but they were super esoteric and never used.

For those who are interested to hone their skills in translating C to assembly language just for the sake of grokking a C compiler, you might want to read this book:

Assembly language and computer architecture using C++ and Java
Book by Anthony J. Dos Reis

From book's description:

Students learn best by doing, and this book supplies much to do with various examples and projects to facilitate learning. For example, students not only use assemblers and linkers, they also write their own. Students study and use instruction sets to implement their own. The result is a book that is easy to read, engaging, and substantial.

I'm not affiliated with the author though. This book helped a lot in my career as a hardware and firmware engineer.

It talks about not only C language but C++. You'll be able to translate a C++ class into assembly language by hand. The drawback is that you'll learn a hypothetical CPU but the concepts are still the same with the real world CPU. C internals could supplement it as well.
> a 1500kg car to move 1-2 80kg people is very energy inefficient and resource intensive to manufacturer.

Cars used to weigh /less/. The weight is the price of all of our drastically improved safety systems. Either way, you're stuck with a lot of that infrastructure if you want to move food and other goods between cities. All of that is the price of flexibility in our logistics.

The great wonder of our time is that we can do all of that _and_ start the long process of deprecating using fossil fuels. Now, if we can build the cars to last much longer than we currently do, we're really starting to win.

> and better/more public transportation.

I feel like there's a hidden trade off here as well. I think the "better" and "more available" you make public transportation, the less dense your ridership gets on certain lines, and the less likely you are to truly gain any efficiency across the system.
