The US government will also never fall to external forces, unless we are nuked. Their power far exceeds what most of the general population can imagine. The only way to change life as a citizen is to get the majority of the population on your side and to be loud. And if you get criminal or violent for no reason (there's a difference between directly fighting against police brutality and beating a small business owner senseless because he doesn't want you robbing him) the government will easily squash you.
> They're either murderous

Which is the whole point of the protests. If an officer is on a riot line and is murderous but the other officers on the line don't take them out (send them home or prosecute them), then the officers are just selectively enforcing the law (which I realize is a concept in US law enforcement) to the point of being corrupt.

Absolutely, that’s exactly why 2nd amendment is important.
> Just using common sense tells me that if you can name off the victims it means the problem isn’t widespread or systemic across the country.

> Name the police officers killed in the line of duty in the last ten years. You can’t there’s way too many.

First of all, the number of people killed by US police is an order of magnitude higher than the number of police officers killed in the line of duty. I have provided sources about this here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23373468

Of course, not every death caused by police is unjustifiable. But let's keep the whole picture in mind.

Second, I don't think any reasonable person is arguing that police officers nonchalantly murdering random black citizens is the systemic issue. What is systemic is police misconduct and brutality, as well as bias towards minorities especially black people. In extreme circumstances, this can result in loss of life; but most of the time, it won't.

You may have heard of Heinrich's law. If you have not, please take a look at the Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accident_triangle

The gist of Heinrich's law is that for each accident causing serious serious injury or death, tens of accidents had occurred previously causing minor injury. For each accident causing minor injury, there had been tens of accidents causing no injury. For each accident causing no injury, there had been tens of unsafe acts. To give an example, a drunk driver killing someone had probably driven drunk hundreds of time before. He had scraped the paint on his car a couple of times, and the rest, he had driven without any accident of any sort.

For every death on that list, how many people have suffered life altering injuries and permanent disabilities at the hands of the police, e.g. blindness [1] or paralysis [2]? For every person suffering life altering injuries, how many have suffered serious yet healable injuries, e.g. broken ribs, ruptured spleen, etc.? For every person suffering serious yet healable injuries, how many have suffered minor injuries, e.g. broken nose, broken teeth, bruises, cuts, etc.? For every person suffering minor injuries, how many have been harassed, targeted, unjustifiably arrested or carded?

This is the systemic issue people are protesting against.

This is a terrible idea. I don't want policy decided by which proposed law has the most "feel good points" or "best intentions" or best marketing campaign to get people to vote for it.

Popular vote is a tool for demagogues and populists and will quickly lead to tyranny of the majority type situations.

Whenever I vote in local elections there are some ballot initiatives, and it's ALWAYS feelgood shit like "give elderly widows whos' husbands worked as a teacher a 25% property tax cut". I vote no for everything out of principle.
They are, however, a little bit out of date in 2020, and the promised follow-ups never materialized for about 6 years now. Some things never changed from 2014 though, so it's a good start
Protests are an opportunity for those in power to fix things before the protests escalate. They were fine with things as they are now it has escalated. Burning witches might not be enough this time.

Eh, Korea had its own share of awkward attempts. It's hard to predict which terms will be accepted.

E.g., in early 90's, some people tried to use daramjwi (literally, "squirrel") for mouse. I'm not sure what they were thinking - a (computer) mouse doesn't look like a squirrel at all.

The term didn't survive.

Even worse offender was the Hercules graphics card, which was widely popular at that time. I think the same group of people tried to "translate" it into cheonha jangsa (something like "the strongest man on earth") - because, you know, Hercules the son of Zeus was known to be the strongest man on earth! (Never mind Hercules was a brand name here.)
> Only after a police station was burned down.

I feel like that's more coincidence than anything

> This happens all over America, all the time. Thread is full of links or a quick hop on google will serve you in this regard

I bet there is tons of anecdotal data to support any claim. There needs to be aggregated data that shows it's happening in high enough rates to be a "systemic" issue.

> Would you merely "lose your job" if you watched your buddy murder a guy and stood there throughout the whole thing?

In most countries bystanders are not obligated to assist. So nothing would happen to you?
These brick drops are being noticed all over the country. It's definitely being intentionally escalated by some group.
> You do realize cops kill just as many whites as they do blacks

Normalized for population, in the US the rate is 3X for black people, and a white person's expectation to be killed by police is less than the average.

Yeah, we're both playing chicken I guess, and they're good landlords and I think the feeling is mutual; plus they really lucked out to rent to someone working at a very stable company with low risk of layoffs at the moment. So I believe I have better leverage at the moment, but if there are two things I hate, they have to be moving and negotiating.
This is a very nonsense comment.

What does "pro-police" mean? In this context it means you're pro-murder. In any sane context it means you would like regular law and order. What do you think it means?

Are you kidding me?
Facebook employees walkout in disagreement against Zuckerberg
> violent rioting

All of the videos from the last few days is still being sorted, but from what I've seen the violence from police against protesters far outstrips that of protesters against random people or cops. I'm in fact only aware of several incidents, and all of which were easily justifiable - a man firing a bow at protesters, an idiot screaming the n-word at protesters, and a man charging at protesters with a sword.

So whenever people say "but riots!" I can't help but question the priorities - can't that wait until after we figure out the police brutality thing? You're only hurting our efforts here, and helping the cops justify the unjustifiable.
You can bring in new safety features without having full self-driving. I think the safest option is to have human drivers, with the car always monitoring to avoid any serious accidents. People will still be attentive, since they are in full control, but you avoid just as many accidents as you would if the car was driving itself.
> I think that in many, if not most cases, you're jointly liable with the corporation

Probably depends on exactly where you are, but in the US the "LL" in "LLC" is "Limited Liability". (The same concept applies for a C-corp, and Europe has equivalent constructs AFAIK.)

One of the main selling points of a corporation is limited liability. If you are acting on behalf of the company you are very explicitly not "jointly" or in any other way liable for its actions. There are very specific things you have to do wrong to become individually liable; this is called "piercing the veil":

> The civil rights movement is an excellent example of civil opposition done peacefully and effectively

There were 150 riots in the USA between 1965 and 1968, when LBJ was gathering the votes for civil rights.

The Selma march involved police using attack dogs and water cannons are peaceful marchers. It's damned amazing that (perfectly justifiable) violence against police didn't break out. The tools police use now would (and do) make it far more damaging.
and you could do the SAME thing with black people and homicide and aggravated assault rates. Then you would go on to say those particular rates are racist to say. Are you ready to stop rationalizing away the deaths that everyone is facing and stop arguing over skin color and start talking about police brutality?

or do you want to keep arguing about something besides the point? if so, why?

I have three:

1.) Over 1 million lines of T-SQL that ran the entire application. VBScript backend that was a light wrapper around calls to the database. I was working on that system last year.

2.) ETL process done completely in SQL. When requirements changed instead of using existing columns they would create a new column using the same name but purposely misspelled. For example 'Member Responsibility' would be 'Member Responsability' and the original column would be ignored.

3.) Company used Entity Framework for database access. When somebody was running unit tests they ended up dropping a production database. Luckily it was a database with low volume of writes so backups were not very out of date.
LOL An 8 year old would have at least yelled there's a fucking thing on the road first before driving head-on into it.
Well, yes. It is important to clarify the purpose for note taking. Zettelkasten-like approaches are useful when you're trying to synthesize knowledge into a framework/perspective, sometimes as a way to find and contextualize new ideas. If one doesn't care about that, and ones notes already have a well-defined taxonomy/structure then the linking feature of Zettelkasten is not particularly useful.
Do you know Vannevar Bush? Most note taking tools/systems are an approximation of a memex. I think it's worthwhile to develop a system along the lines of a memex because sharing knowledge effectively is how we all become more effective.
This is off topic for the overall thread, but important for this thread.

> "Mayor Eric Garcetti's 2020-2021 city budget gives police $3.14 billion out of the city's $10.5 billion. That's the single biggest line item, dwarfing, say, emergency management ($6 million) and economic development ($30 million)." (In fact, LAPD is getting pay raises while LA teachers are getting a pay decrease)

The Los Angeles Unified School District boundaries don't match the Los Angeles city boundaries, so comparison is tricky, but the most recent budget available (2018-2019) was $13.8 billion. [1]

In California, school districts are not connected to city government, despite like all the mayors ever always talking about them. Zero of the LA city budget goes to LA schools, because school districts get their money from the counties they're in and the state. I don't know if San Francisco has a county government separate from its city government, so it may be an exception.

> In that situation, how are you to quickly separate the two groups?

You're not to quickly do anything. Most countries claim to have the right an assumption of innocence for a reason - they believe, very strongly, that committing violence towards an innocent person is worse than letting a guilty person get away with whatever they were doing. Property can be rebuilt, for the most part; people's lives, not so much.

To put it bluntly - if a group of people robs a bank in the middle of the business day, you don't tear gas and shoot at everyone inside it.
You’re seeing something I’m not then. I’ve kept my eyes on the peninsula market for years and there is no 30-50% drop. Most single family homes I’m looking at are experiencing no drops at all. Condos and apartments - nothing too out of the ordinary either.
This summary is really interesting. Thank you for laying out an explanation for me.
This way of notetaking is the first time I feel the "actions that feel like work but isn't" overhead is below a critical threshold. I don't plan anything, I don't do reviews, I spend no time working with or around the tool, I just stick to a couple simple principles and jot things down, curating connections as they arise.

Police escalating a peaceful protest to a violent one is part of the plan. It's a feature not a bug for police.

They do this to scare regular folks from not participating in protests. Because good and honest people will stay home if they worry about getting hurt.

The goal of the police is to make protests undesirable and that's what they do.

Undercover cops, for example have been video taped in many instances of breaking store windows abd starting fires. The goal being to give ab excuse for police to disperse crowds.

I know many don't believe me but veteran protesters under this. Go to a protest and find out for yourself.
It would have to be proven that you assisted in some way.
My main reason for wishing to be able to switch to Vscode instead of Pycharm is because vscode's remote development UX is really really nice and works a lot better for me compared to the Pycharm way of SFTP-ing files between your local and the remote.

My use-case where Pycharm feels a bit deficient is that I have an Ubuntu deeplearning box at work that I can VNC into and develop on whenever needed. I have all my repos cloned locally and work on various projects locally (and Pycharm is my IDE of choice on the Ubuntu box). But when I work from home, VNC feels a bit too sluggish and remote development would be much better for me. The vscode experience is pretty fantastic. I can setup SSH access to my box and have an open project for the same repos that I have cloned locally on my Ubuntu box and it's as if I am working on it natively. Everything is super snappy and even my bash sessions have the correct remote venvs activated correctly.

In contrast, every time I tried mimicking this in Pycharm (the paid version), it seemed like there was no way to link my already cloned repos on the Ubuntu box to my local version on my laptop so that work I did locally would always also be "live" on my Ubuntu box so that were I to VNC into my Ubuntu box and open the same project in my local Pycharm IDE, it would exactly mirror the state of my Pycharm IDE on my laptop. Is what I want possible? Everything I tried seem to result in my laptop Pycharm setting up a new project somewhere on my Ubuntu box where it would SFTP my project files to, but that resulted in a duplicate of my repo in some other location, which is not what I want. Hopefully this made sense?
Wow, imagine being able to drive wherever you want.
That one perception may be just cultural or regional. It may be just cool to be lazy, and emit an air of condescendence if one uses one's native language consistently.

Pullear, deployar are ridiculous and lazy.

For instance, deploy has its roots in the military term: to place and equip troops in a battlefield. The Spanish words desplegar (v.) and despliegue (n.) have existed for ages with identical meaning, and in common use in the 90s in IT.
Yes, and what I find even more worrying about a densely connected graph is that it is not easy to extract information! Lack of connections (factorizing knowledge) is as important as noticing connections. Otherwise you'll be swimming in connections of marginal relevance (i.e. distractions). IMHO a sprinkling of connections, resulting in a relatively sparse graph is quite easy to make sense of. It's not easy to foresee where the optimum might be.

No one is arguing we don't have a police brutality problem. I'm not sure why you hear that.

I think a large rate difference between white and black is meaningful information. Why do you prefer that information not be added?

That didn't happen either. Your expectations are off.
It's not just about what the US government deems acceptable, it's about what the US people deem acceptable. There's a breaking point where the general public will start demanding that looters be shot as a matter of pure self-defense - and as you can see in right-leaning media outlets, some people are already there.
I can’t improve upon your recommendation, but I’ll second it, from the point of a firmware / security / reverse engineer-er.
The published California LEO pay is in "total compensation", which includes benefits and maybe retirement contributions. Police work hourly, not salary, so probably not too difficult to have a base pay of $100k and some overtime to get to total comp of $200k.

I'm not defending sociopaths with badges, but the $200k doesn't sound outlandish to me, especially if the department is on a hiring freeze. It's expensive to hire talent (which is what a trained officer is) in California.

I was watching someone stream the protests near the White House last night. The police were being hit with water bottles and sometimes fireworks, but still they mostly just stood there. The police did not escalate at all until the protestors lit two fires. One completely took over a small building and another was like a bonfire in the middle of the street.

So the question is how many fires should you let them light? After that they became very aggressive and used the year gas and batons and rubber bullets to take over the area and force the protestors to retreat back a few blocks. Later on the looting a few blocks away from the police escalated and it does seem like it could have been partially motivated by the violent tactics from before.
But if you look at the amount of arson and destruction in Minnesota recently when there was no real police presence, it seems like the result was worse.
