My crazy ideas to stop this and violence/law-breaking in general. This should cause a huge reduction in these issues we claim we're having.

1. Body cams mandatory for all police inside & outside of the station, and they stay on 100% of the time and batteries should last the whole shift. No ifs/buts/maybes. If the need arises, bathroom breaks can be edited out after the fact.

2. National ID card, in all states and mandatory for everyone over 13/16. Put all biometric, facial and possibly DNA data on file, encrypted and only available for searches. Be creative.

3. Remove the need to arrest people for any non-violent crimes. People are positively ID'd via some tech (insert something wild here if you want). Cop files a report, includes evidence of positive ID, person needs to appear in court as they will be notified by SMS/Email/letter/lawyer-visit because that stuff should all be on-file and up to date. Send them warnings if they don't appear in court, meanwhile block their access to everything like cell-phones, bank accounts, etc. Start pro-actively messaging their family, or them, and let them know about the additional time/fines they are racking up by missing court dates. 3.a) Assume they're guilty if they don't show up for court and don't have a valid reason.

4. Disallow police from forcibly cuffing people for arrest. Procedure should be to throw two pairs of cuffs at the person while they're being pointed at with gun/taser, and they have to put it on themselves. Procedure allows for x minutes of that, then by default they have to taze this individual into submission and just arrest them. Once they're cuffed, just carry them in a car/van, or wait for support.

5. Punishment for disobeying orders by a policeman to do the above.

6. Very strict guidelines and sets of laws being broken that justify physical arrest. The default should be to just tag the person and tell them to appear in court. If it's a grey-area, just block their cellphone, bank-accounts, cards, etc.

7. Track all cell-phone locations, strongly-linked and verified to individual identities, and store permanently. Store it securely and allow court-orders to open for case investigations. Allow anonymized access to information-based researches that are told to investigate crimes. This one alone could solve so many crimes in my view that I am saddened to no end that people prevent it from happening safely at the recurring expense of innocent lives.

One could go on and on. But guaranteed the above sets of actions/laws are very unpalatable for the majority of people, and it would cause "human rights lawyers" to salivate at the potential for litigation and for "human rights activists" to salivate in protestual anger.
It's possible Facebook has taken this position to further them into the safe harbor of Section 230. Then again, maybe what social media has taught us is the superiority of our opinions.
please don't presume a state of mind. a lazy response might be "obliviously complacent" and then we get nowhere. you could leave out the direct reference, such as "I think disillusionment is a bit dangerous, because..." (although you still need to tie in the relevance of such a statement) and still make a similar argument that better elicits a charitable response.

but that argument is presumptuous and fallacious as well. being disillusioned doesn't lead most peole to support single-party, state-controlled communism. being insulated and comfortable does lead to complacency and being out-of-touch however.
No, I'd call Netflix a rich client for Netflix's OpenConnect appliance network.

Change the company? Is this an amateur hour? I do not know at this point that is FB fooling its employees or its employees are fooling the world.
Aren't you trying to act as a courtroom, though? The main issue I have with your site is that your fundamental premise involves a presumption of guilt. You declare this behavior "brutality" (which implies a forgone conclusion of injustice and the misuse of force) before a fair system of investigation, testimony, factual analysis, and so on, can be performed.

I'm not saying these videos aren't showing an injustice and a misuse of force, I'm saying that making a fair conclusion is complicated and should be done by a complex process that you can't hope to do yourself. And if you simply aggregate videos of police using force and label them all as brutality, frankly you are abandoning the ideal of justice in the pursuit of it.

Your site should present these videos as acts that warrant investigation, not as a wall of shame for (assumed) guilty/bad cops (even though many of them are guilty/bad).

There is deep, systemic injustice in our society, and there are murders and brutalities taking place all too often, and this does demand action and attention. I applaud action to that effect and I honor that you are motivated by the pursuit of justice. But you need to recognize that it is a challenging task that requires a measure of elevated ethical discipline in order not to backfire or undermine itself. The principle of "innocent until proven guilty" is a core precept of a good justice system, but not one that your approach seems to embrace.

Also, the US doesn't have enough poor people to make most human-staffed service businesses viable. In India someone earning a Top 5% income can have a domestic staff of 10. That's just not true in the US.
Well, i think the main factor is Ubers cost of operation.

Why does Uber need 20k employees (this does not inlude drivers!) to keep the platform running? Even if you want your fancy data science team, have 100 people PR team and the usual nonsense i don't see how you need 20k people to make this work

Are you more worried about the content being targeted for takedown by the government or DDOS by people that don't like it or your identity being tied to the website either through domain registration records or records at your hosting service?

It might be worth checking out registering and using a Handshake name to use as there wouldn't be a centralized entity associating and storing your IRL name with your internet name.
That’s not an axiomatic truth. Binary diff algorithms exist (ask me, I’ve written several) that can identify and isolate changes across versions even when content is changed at non-block boundaries, non-contiguously, etc and while they are computationally expensive patches to create, they are trivial to unpack/apply.

But generally the software industry has moved to a model where diffs are shunned and “recreate from scratch” is embraced for reasons that range from reproducibility to speed of development to architectural purity and everything in between.
yarn. fast and correct. every package.json is a virtualenv, but you still have a global cache and it just symlinks. (sort of like the global wheels cache for pip, but even more deduplication.)

cargo is great because it manages the build flow, it's extensible (clippy) - the global cache thing is a bit harder, because of rust package features (and other knobs like RUSTFLAGS), and it's not done by default, but it's as easy as setting RUST_TARGET_DIR as far as I know.
I somehow forgot to type that in and now added it. Second point was to make use of the arch wiki as general non-arch linux reference.
Unless you’re on macOS where you have to manually edit the pyinstaller package to comment out or point to an updated Ntlk data dump.
Who is disagreeing with this? The issue is that people disagree on what the facts are, so when twitter does a fact check some people would disagree, what if it's a close call?

I'm not going to agree or disagree with their assessment I don't really care. I'm saying I don't give a shit what "twitter corp" thinks about X persons tweet. I want to read it and see for myself.

Don't turn to Twitter for a medical issue... Who would do that? If you're looking in a textbook as mentioned you will find well referenced established science, or speaking to a medical professional. That is not Twitter and was never it's strength

> I think the only way you can make door-to-door food delivery financially viable is with A) delivery drones, and B) massive centralized kitchens.

The tech driving Dominoes would discredit your entire argument. Most are privately owned franchises that use the delivery software and Human based drivers. I personally prefer to make my own pizza as I have a stone, a kitchenaid and a decent oven, but when I do order out I prefer to pick it up and tip the cook staff not the driver as I think its an ancillary service that bares no relation to the end product I'm consuming.

82% capacity retention after 450 cycles is nothing to write home about.

Besides those are lab tests. Show a thousand cycles of a hundred cells at various temperatures and vibration loads and there will be something to talk about.
This is stupid and doesn't work. Whats the point?
I used to be in favor of this but now I think it's in precisely the wrong direction. We need more ways to educate individual voters of the complex tradeoffs and compromises in policies, and teach people to appreciate the complexity of system effects. We don't need more ways for people to capriciously offload their civic duty to whoever seems most willing to responsibly accept their proxy.
Of course there's no equality to that arrangement. Police officers are just professionals who handle a lot of cases with no skin in the game (except their own safety). If your tax agent doesn't know about some loophole and doesn't save you some money, they are not automatically liable for paying you the difference. If your doctor doesn't know about a brand new life-saving procedure and you die, the doctor is not also killed to make it even. A police officer who arrests you with a reasonable belief that you've done something illegal but who is mistaken due to some complicated detail of case law should not in turn be convicted of false imprisonment.

But the flip side is also true. Just as a doctor can absolutely be arrested for intentionally harming a patient, a police officer who arrests you for clearly wrong reasons should absolutely be sued or prosecuted for their crime. But describing the line between those two cases is hard.
Doesn't this create a perverse incentive to increase income inequality? And more so it is self reinforcing: if the entire economy was built on ubereats there would be an inescapable difference between the service provider and consumer. Maybe this is at odds with the idea that these schemes can scale.

People are different, and some types are more frequent than others.

Another important thing is social skills. If you have poor social skills, you will have problem connecting even with your type. If you have good social skills, you can find "harmony" with your type, and "cooperation" with other types.

The problem is that no amount of social skills will translate the "cooperation" into "harmony". At best it will make you a perfect social chameleon.

Therefore, people who belong to a frequent type need to learn social skills, but people who belong to an infrequent type need to learn social skills and then spend of lot of time searching for other people of the same type.

This is further complicated by the fact that people of the infrequent type often need to pretend to be someone else, in order to avoid social punishment. But if they pretend to be someone else, and the people they are looking for also pretend to be someone else for similar reasons, that makes it even more difficult to find each other.

Also it takes some maturity to understand what exactly your type is. Meanwhile, people of the frequent types will keep telling you "actually, all you need is to start doing things that I like to do; look at me, I have plenty of friends and social success!"

The other thing I keep seeing is a "leak" of a court filing by "Anonymous" alleging that Trump and Epstein committed various sexual offenses. I think it's unfortunate that the disinformation attributing this to Anonymous is spreading because the court filing has been publicly available since 2016. It seems that two Twitter accounts are parroting this around under the guises on Anonymous which really discredits the actual group.
It's funny how rarely you see a reasonable response to a question about "why doesn't my software do X" on a site full of software developers.

> I feel the complete opposite of “hopeful” when I see these riots, when I see people so angry they will destroy their own cities.

I am confident that this reality check for people who are somewhat blindly supporting their ideologies will benefit everyone. Beginning with the wealthier people who supported these protests and are now seeing their gated communities burn and their "progressive" newspapers destroyed.

((4x^2-4x+1)/(x^2-2x-15))((2x^2+7x+3)/(4x^2-1)) => (2x-1)/(x-5)

I've said this before but I really don't see any reason whatsoever why UberEats has to be a nationwide, or heck, even a statewide thing.

This market can benefit a great deal from local players who serve just one or a handful of cities. Keep the tech simple to keep costs low. Don't need to invest in any $250k/year data scientists since you won't have a great deal of data to work with anyway (given the small scale).

Lower costs means you can give restaurants and drivers a bigger cut as well.

Most people who will use your app will be local residents. They don't need an app that can help them order in 500 cities across the world - they need an app that can help them order in just their city.

The cynical view is that the government just wants to tax you more if you're making bets; 15% on capital gains is nothing compared to the taxes on lotteries and gambling.

https://handshake.org is the only good use case I know of, but their success is still widely unknown. It largely depends on how they play with ICANN

I also understand that Hyperledger is having some success, but the cryptokiddies really don't like that (realistic) implementation.

The biggest issue with blockchain projects is that they want to create some new order rather than participating in the existing society, and by doing so, artificially limit themselves.

I really don’t get this argument that it’s impossible to do delivery without losing money. Takeaway restaurants have been doing delivery for decades now, and don’t seem to have any problem making that work, the problem here is the middleman, and the unrealistic approach of having every order individually delivered.

Actual takeaway shops don’t do that, they have one guy go run round 10 orders at a time then come back for more. You have to wait longer for your food to arrive, but people seem to have coped with that in the past.
My primary question, as always with Uber, is with ridiculously easy switching costs, and almost no lock-in, why will Uber be the one that benefits when the profit making $EPOCH happens?

Why wouldnt another well capitalized business that hasn't lost tens of billions of dollars not be able to do better, since for $EPOCH + x years, that other business can actually afford to lose dollars while Uber needs to maintain its profit margin to recover the billions it lost in the pre $EPOCH era.
The Republicans on HPSCI found what they wanted to find, and avoided finding what they didn't want to find. See the HPSCI minority report for the specific details on this.

Much of the HPSCI majority report is also contradicted by:

- bipartisan Senate reports
- the Special Counsel's report
- the Special Counsel's indictments
- the FBI, as well as the intelligence community (in toto)
- the DOJ and intelligence Inspectors General

IOW, it was contradicted by everybody else

I demand the right to take unplanned time off to protest even if it disrupts operations. Facebook: Sure

I demand to post my feelings on my company email autoreply so other employees and customers are informed of my opinion via company resources. Facebook: Sure.

I demand to get paid for my time off. Facebook: Sure - we give you lots of generous PTO and don't really track you that carefully in terms of hours worked.

I demand to get paid for my unplanned time designed to disrupt operations to protest my employers actions and post my feelings on company email including communication with customers / partners and get paid for this WITHOUT using PTO (but as regularly working hours). Facebook: Sure!!

Sure, but the threat right now is a fork of Qt that would encompass commercial features and be developed by the KDE community, the free software community as well as companies such as Bosch, Autodesk and so on.

That is a big threat to the bottom line of Trolltech.

While Blackberry, Nokia and so on contributed a lot of money, KDE contributed a lot of the product and to the technical system. That poses a unique threat of replacement.
Haha how delusional do you have to be to think the US is worse than a communist kleptocracy that dabbles in death camps?
You misunderstand the law completely in your comment and your edit. Congress (with good reason) doesn't get to shape the boundaries of constitutional law (for example the doctrine of qualified immunity we're discussing here).

That is specifically and only in the hands of the court, unless you want to amend the constitution.
As a young conservative, I vote and my President has fulfilled all of the things I wanted.

To me, Democrats have been going way too far left and the left wing extremism leaves a bad taste.

If you want change you have to research your candidates, hold them accountable with questions, and most importantly, vote!

Thanks for a few of these! You should try Choicy, which lets you prevent tweak from loading in certain apps or daemons. Specifically, you can disable tweaks for the daemon "powerloghelperd" (which is what powerlogHelperdFix does) but it also becomes super useful to load certain apps without the substitute engine. It adds a "launch without tweaks" option to the 3D touch menu of each app!
But that calculation is affected by the commodity prices of lithium as well. If demand for batteries increases (i.e. if most people started driving electric cars) then a technology could go from 5 to 10 times as cheap very quickly

I was just thinking about the Dabbawala industry a few hours ago. I'm mainly wondering how to reduce all the plastic waste from food delivery. See some thoughts and notes here: https://www.evernote.com/l/ACoza00i6aRGT48ylqD7ylr5fkziGJbQC...

I think the main problem to solve here is that the drivers and kitchen staff barely earn a living wage. Personally, I would be very happy to pay much more for a service that uses reusable containers and pays everyone involved a living wage, plus a decent profit margin for the restaurant owner. So I think this might need to be a very niche service for relatively wealthy people.

Unfortunately, I think history shows that there isn't way to convince the average consumer and restaurant owner to take part in a system like this. It might work in Australia or New Zealand, where they already have a reasonable minimum wage. But these countries generally have a very low population density, and also a very different attitude towards food delivery. (Most people cook most meals at home, so it's not something you order 2-3 times a day.)
