Yes, three of the four guilty cops are free with no charges, and the fourth is only being charged due to the protests and would not have been otherwise.

One suggestion that has been made is to not call the cops at all for certain kinds of emergencies:

* Mental health (otherwise nonviolent)

* Animal problems

This alone could reduce deaths dramatically. I witnessed an incident where the cops were called about a stray dog. They shot it. When you have a gun, every problem looks like a target.

I think it should also be made clear who has priority at a 'scene' firefighters, paramedics, or police?

Personally I think it's implicitly assumed that it is police that have that authority. I believe this should be flipped so that medical and fire officials have authority at the scene of an incident, not police.

In the case of George Floyd, then the paramedics would have had the authority to get those three cops off the guys back possibly in time to save him.
If you’ve watched the ubiquitous video footage of protests where the left and right confront each other over the past 4 years, antifa is a clear group and aggressor. I have a friend in the “chapter” here, what loose categories have chapters? They treat it as a group/organization. They seem to be more organized than the Proud Boys, which plenty of people on the left deem a white supremacy organization.

It’s funny to me that now they are a target, people are trying to play down their involvement in the political landscape the past few years.

I’ve watched them shut down speech, aggressively block events from happening, attack people in MAGA hats, there is so much hate pouring out of them that they are more fascist than anti-fascist.

Murdering people in cold blood is part of policing?

Here's the part you're missing: the protests are holding the police to account, and they're the only way available for the community to enforce basic rule of law on the police. If not for the protests, the officer(s) in question would be getting some paid time off to fund a vacation to the beach. Literally. And that's despite the community already having voted for stricter regulations by clear majorities and not getting them because white votes are counted more in our political system than black ones, and that's despite voter suppression disproportionately restricting black voters' access to the polls.

This seems to be a new trend now. I'm skeptical. Many of the most successful people I know don't have complicated systems like this - instead of spending time on optimizing note taking, they actually get stuff done. In fact, many don't have systems at all. On the other side, most people raving about the systems are "productivity gurus" writing articles and books, not people who actually get stuff done or would be considered "successful" in the economic sense.

I see a similar trend with org-mode users. It's great and all on a technical level (I've used it myself in the past) but it's easy to fall into the elisp and customization rabbit hole. Over time, the few hours spent here and there to optimize the system add up to thousands of hours that could've been used to get stuff done.

These complex systems are the perfect excuse for procrastination because they make you feel like you are doing something productive while you actually aren't. Just get stuff done.
>> Just in Chicago at least 17 people were killed during the protests.

> And how many by the protestors?

We don't know if they were all "protestors" but at least not the police: https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/16-dead-at-least-30-pe...

From your article: "the police and National Guard were shot at first and that the shots that killed McAtee were fired in response", and that they weren't part of the protests.

It seems rioters exhibited a disproportionate amount of violence compared to police though.
As an example, when I first looked at AT&T syntax, I saw

movl 8(%ebx,%eax,2), %eax

What does the 8 mean? How does the stuff in the parenthesis work? Why is there a type suffix? Here’s a general definition of AT&T syntax’s indirect form

segment:offset(base,index,scale)

But the equivalent in Intel syntax (for the above two is):

mov eax, [eax*2+ebx+8]
segment:[index*scale+base+offset]

Idk, but the Intel syntax is just clearer to me.

eax = *(eax*2+ebx+8);

Like pseudo code almost. It honestly seems like AT&T syntax was created to facilitate easier parsing by computers, not humans.

No it's not. Fascism uses violence to coerce people. Pretty much every ideological system that is in power uses violence to coerce people. Liberals uses the police to coerce the majority of the population to not take their stuff. Conservatives do the same thing. The great western democracies used violence to coerce the nazis to not occupy their states.

Your definition is meaningless and imprecise.
I have invested a lot of time and thought in organizing my notes, including writing an Evernote mini-clone in Clojure and Clojurescript (with a Javascript Firefox plugin for capturing stuff on the web) many years ago.

I settled instead on Google Keep because at the time I didn't have a way to backup Apple Notes. I then saw a reference to the macOS Exporter app, it works OK, and I moved to Apple Notes because I slightly prefer Apple's privacy policies.

Now, on any device (use web app for Linux) I can get to my notes and search them. I especially like the interface on iOS and iPadOS: doing a global search on everything on the device shows results for the Notes.

I do a lot of research, writing, and development and I really need an extended digital memory. I also need the process of saving information to be as fast as possible so I don't avoid doing it.

If you leave some task processing overnight, that's probably not your 'core hours', unless you set it that way and not in the day. But then what if all your work is lost when an update is installed in your lunch break? It's ridiculous that there is (or was? Not sure if it's changed) no way to never automatically install an update.

Remember when Windows 10 was released and there were reports that Windows 8 would literally automatically update to Windows 10 without user intervention [1]. My mother's laptop did that and it bricked her install.

The OS taking over control of updates is totally user-hostile. 'Core hours' is just giving a little bit of that control back, it's not a solution.

That bit is correct. Yes, it does work -- for some. But the masses that are angry are whom it didn't work for. When it starts working for the other 90% people wont be as angry.
43 is a reasonable number to start with (it gives you some power wrt sample variance, but you have to pay attention to randomization).

It might give you some information if the intervention were really, really bad for patients or really really good. (So it could be used to establish possible harms). But definitely not useful farther than that except to justify larger studies.

Hey everyone!

We have been working on Remote Tools for over a couple of years, trying to speed the growth of remote working.

We built The Remote Clan, a community for remote workers to build a strong career with the help of those who are pursuing the same goals.

This is why I always come back to Apple's humble Notes app after trying the others. It's simple and dumb enough that it gets out of the way and just lets me write notes on my mac or my phone and everything is quietly synced for offline use.

Once I start thinking about how I'm going to use the note, I go down a rabbit hole of style / format considerations and it gets in the way of the idea I was trying to capture. So now I give myself permission to just write a note and if it does need to morph into something more structured, it's only a copy-paste away to a fancier tool.

This is actually very concerning. We have significant evidence now to suggest that asteroids in the past have caused large earthquakes. Sometimes on the other side of the impact zone (the antipode).

More scary though is what comets can do. They have a highly elliptical orbit, so they are much harder to spot than asteroids as they come out of nowhere. The elliptical orbit gives them much greater speed to. Comets tends to generate enormous levels of heat too, they explode shorty before impact as one did in Tunguska in Russia in 1908. Anyway it now seems that these "bursts" have happened during ice ages, vaporizing massive ice sheets. We are talking perhaps the entire northern hemisphere in some cases like the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis.

The crust floats like water and is as gooey as pudding when suddenly trillions of tons of weight just "disappears" above it. We have no idea how this unfolds currently except to say it is destructive and chaotic at the least.
I've definitely experienced the loud and completely socially-unaware older conservatives as well, but generally not at work. Is your career in danger if you disagree with these people? That danger is where it goes from an undesirable work environment to one that is genuinely bad for society.

If so, that seems like the same dynamic, just with a different hegemony. It's a horrible pattern for a workplace regardless of which view is the orthodoxy.

Curious what kinds of problems you used to run into here that made you give up on Windows guest/Linux host. I've been running my daily driver that way for the past 3 months and haven't hit any issues aside from 2 nits:

- Windows 10 basically requires an SSD to get reasonable responsiveness. You could maybe get away with putting a disk image on an SSD, but for serious use it's best to dedicate a whole disk or partition to it.

- QEMU's default display adapter started "leaking" pending IO requests at one point, which grinds the VM from full speed to a halt over the course of an hour or so. I ended up disabling the display adapter and moving to just RDP, which is basically an even trade since the RDP client can do everything the SPICE client can.

Parent is writing about Antarctica, the ice sheet is not floating but would be replaced by air which is a lot less dense.

And the land rising effect is certainly there, its well known from our norther hemisphere where satellite measurements have tracked for quite a while now how i.e northern Europe still rises in comparison to the southern parts due to the not being covered by the ice age glaciers anymore.

At a distance of 100 km, the gravitational acceleration caused by the greenland ice sheet is .019 m/s^2 or ~0.2% g. Doesn't sound like a lot but it's still 524 times higher than the effect of the moon's gravity which creates the tides. The ice sheet has the same gravitational effect as the moon at a distance of approximately 2300 km.

You’re missing one of the effects gravity and ice have. From the article:

> The second thing that happens is that this gravitational attraction that the ice sheet exerts on the surrounding water diminishes. As a consequence, water migrates away from the ice sheet. The third thing is, as the ice sheet melts, the land underneath the ice sheet pops up; it rebounds.

The land underneath the glacier or ice sheet (and it has to be on land, because ice displaces it’s melted volume when floating) pops up and increases in altitude (from the centre of earth) due to the drop in weight.

This popping up effect will of course affect surround land not under the ice because rock isn’t that flexible.

The arctic ice sheet floats. Greenland is an island and Antarctica a continent, both of them surrounded by a little floating ice.

Melting that ice shifts a km-deep layer of ice from a fixed position above nearby sea level to being part of the liquid ocean. This means that it doesn't exert any gravitational pull on the ocean nearby, so the water-covered part of the globe becomes a little bit more spherical. Not much more spherical: The article says 30-50m on the coast of Greenland, which is a very small fraction of the earth's radius.

The 30-50m column of water is distributed elsewhere.

> Kuesa™ 3D is a complete design-to-code workflow solution for 3D in real-time applications, centered around the open glTF™ 2 format, supported by Blender, Maya and 3ds Max.

I see, i see...

WTF does that mean? "Design-to-code"... does it generate source code? "solution for 3D in real-time applications"? Is it a 3D engine?

The supposed explanation doesn't explain anything:

> In short, Kuesa provides a workflow that simplifies work for both designers and developers.

Simplifies what sort of work? What are you supposed to do with this program?

> It is centered around the glTF 2 format.

Ok, but this was already mentioned above and of everything mentioned that is the most concrete information.

> The idea behind Kuesa 3D is that changes made on 3D models shouldn’t require much, if any, work on the developer’s side.

Like pretty much every single 3D engine out there that has a model loader?

> As a consequence, you can iterate more frequently, get feedback more often and release on time.

As opposed to not being able to change the data because it is a part of the source code? I mean, yea sure, that would make iterating harder, but it is something you learn how to do pretty much after managing to render a rotating cube when starting 3D graphics (and some even skip that bit and go from rendering a single triangle directly to loading a mesh).

I'm most likely missing something but i can't understand what this is all about. Even from the main site, ignoring any marketing bullspeak (which seems to be about 80% of the site's content) all i can understand is that they made some sort of glTF 2 viewer which can be compiled with (the "studio") and without (the "runtime") an interface made in Qt.

Is that it?

Where are you getting the numbers for flu? As far as I'm aware the best guess for flu IFR is 0.04% compared to COVID-19s 0.4% IFR

Note that CDC data on the flu is not on the IFR, they only have an estimate for the symptomatic fatality rate which doesn't include asymptomatic flu cases, while their COVID-19 IFR is including asymptomatic cases too.

(This seems to be because really caring about the true IFR of a virus is a recent development spurred on by this pandemic)
You sort of address it here:

> An extra person will die this year (beyond the usual 3 who die every year). It could be anyone, but you're told its most likely to be somebody who would die in the next 5 years.

The death rate is not an equally weighted distribution over the whole population. In fact, it's very weighted towards middle age and up, with younger people dragging it down. So in your example it's likely to be more than an extra person in the typical age of older parents and grandparents.
> Couldn’t you just install Debian, choose sysvinit and uninstall systemd?

Maybe, but Debian policy reserves the right to break your programs in future updates, right?

If you just want to use the most common thing with everything being easily packaged, why would you be using Debian rather than, say, Windows? The things that traditionally set Debian apart from Windows are the same things that set something like Devuan apart from modern Debian, IME.
An idea cannot be patented, only its specific execution. You'll notice patent claims always contain language such as, "In one embodiment, the so-and-so is a doodly-doo." These are the specifics of the execution. So, if you have a new and better way of doing something, it could very well be patentable. Its easy and cheap to get a "patent pending" status (provisional app) even without an attorney. The real thing will cost significantly more and take longer.
