It is not often that I read a post that illuminates and informs the way your comment has. Everything you said should be obvious but I only came to that after reading your comments. Yet again another validation of the value and wisdom of listening to different perspectives. My thanks.
I'm not sure it's that simple. Or, Qualified Immunity is just one aspect of why cops are not prosecutable.

One reason is the close relationship between police and the judiciary. Both work closely together and need to preserve that relationship for various career and practical reasons. In theory a branch is designed to act as a check against another branch, in reality, this is not the case in our justice system.

Another reason is US voters. We vote "hard on crime" people into office and then are surprised when they give Police complete immunity. If we want justice, we've elected the wrong people to give it to us.

It's also not clear if any of this is politically viable. The US is politically farther right compared to Europe and some other countries. Is a more liberal "European style" justice system palatable to US voters? For some, definitely, but overall, I'm not sure if some parts of the US are culturally ready for some of the reforms discussed. There's a lot of "eye for an eye" syndrome here.

I don't have any answers to this, just adding some context.
Facebook employees walk out in protest of Donald Trump’s posts
I agree. This will go nowhere, because established interests don't want to end qualified immunity for cops. I have mentioned in other comments [0] how police do not serve "the public," but, rather, property interests. Until that changes, we won't see any movement in this area. The incentives simply do not align.

Edit: added citation to one of my previous comments.

How AV Safety Engineering Is Like Covid Public Health
There's lots of precedent of officers being charged and arrested. Not often enough, and they are especially acquitted too often, but the public perception that they aren't charged is a function of media narrative, not fact.
Even worse, they sometimes rely on C++
Okay that’s great for my developers now what happens when they download some malicious script modified their doh queries to use their servers instead of my corporate wins?
I’d rather find a world where humans do have that right than stay in the ruins of this one.
Clarifying your point because I didn't get it at first: parent is saying that discarding nominees who got more than 50 nominations is harmful.
Every QI case the Supreme Court has taken in the past few years has only made it stronger. There is no chance that Trump's SCOTUS is going to change their tune.
You guys lie so much I cant believe this. I trust reporters more. You also took down an Ad critical of Trump, but leave up his calls to violence. "Credibility" eh.

That's not remotely what EEE is about, which is my point.

EEE refers to a specific business practice that is not related to this story at all.

You can use other words in the language to convey that this particular move from MS is a dick move without having to use EEE. And reserve talking about EEE when it is actually relevant.

Using it all the time just completly dilute it until it becomes totally meaningless.
To be clear, you're saying something akin to: bakeries and florists refusing to make wedding cakes (or arrangements) for gay couples? Good.

Facebook not giving unpleasant extremities a platform on which to peddle their beliefs? Bad.

Now, if you think the religious baker should be forced to make a cake? I disagree, but I at least applaud you for the consistency of your convictions. Note: "they should go to another baker" isn't any more applicable than "they should go to another web host/platform".

If however you do believe that Facebook should "have to respect free speech" of a political variety, but the bakery should have a religious exemption, I'll ask:

Why, when freedom of association (politics), political beliefs, and religious beliefs are all held on the same pedestal in the Constitution, why are you singling out only some?

And in either case, why do you feel an Executive Order by way of Presidential tantrum is an appropriate way to manage what is certainly a Constitutional legal principle, if not worthy of an Amendment?
Voting? Anyway, there's pretty broad agreement that the riots are opportunistic violence, not connected to or motivated by a concern for justice.
As an individual that probably works just fine. In a team setup, it takes a lot of training and effort for everyone to consistently follow a manual pip/venv workflow, so it becomes valuable to minimize and standardize it.
First off, such a small mistake that I don't think most people mind, so no point in making a comment about it.

Secondly, HN automatically does that with titles. If you put NASA when you submit, HN will correct it to Nasa. Then you can change it back to NASA if you edit the title.

Thirdly, The Oxford Dictionary of Abbreviations lists NASA as "NASA (or Nasa)" so seems correct at least somewhere in the world, but probably not in the US.

Funny how that happens. In 2006 I was taken a grad-level Intro to ML course. After the first (and only) lecture on neural nets, I asked the prof on recommendations for learning more - since I had mostly a cogsci background, I was pretty interested because of the "neural" part. The prof essentially said the same as yours (I don't blame him -- it was a common sentiment of the time). And of course, these days he's doing deep learning!
Weirdly, I put my place up for rent in South Bay in April and got 10 applications in 5 days without any tours. So there is still underlying demand in the market

Seems to be very localized ups and downs. In the core of cities prices are crashing and people are trying to get out. Meanwhile in surrounding suburbs prices are rising and people and getting into bidding wars.

It seems that many want to stay in region but not right in the core of things, especially if their companies are shifting to WFH where daily commute is less of a deciding factor.
So you want the GOP President to convince liberal strongholds such as DC, NYC and Minneapolis to be less racist? They've made it clear the do not respect him as a leader from day one. Don't really blame him for focusing elsewhere
To the contrary, the prosecutor had this to say about why he had not pressed charges:

'But my job in the end is to prove he violated a criminal statute - but there is other evidence that does not support a criminal charge.'[0]

This quotation is from a tabloid, but the quote--and the DA's failure to say unequivocally that he would prosecute Floyd's killer, Chauvin--contributed to the riots.

And then Chauvin was arrested the day after riots started.

This seems to be missing the point (maybe my wording is at fault). If somebody I know has 49 people voting for them, they might be selected under this system. If I nominate them, because I also think they might be a good candidate, I stop them from having any chance of being selected. The only time my vote is definitely helpful to somebody is if most people they know definitely wouldn't trust them.

(Not to mention how easily the system is gamed by a membership groups orchestrating nominations. Pick 10% of your membership and get the others to nominate them and you'll have a lot of people in the hat. To be sure these candidates will be in the lottery, they'll want to select people who aren't well respected outside the group....)
If you use functions DOM/JS can become really powerful. You are only limited by your imagination. If you are into functional programming (FP) you can combine a function that returns an entire app.
Yup. The evil empire had big carriers and giant battleships. The good guys had their fighters hidden in caves. It is a WWII metaphor. Abrams continues this subversion in the opening of Episode VII: The bad guys come at night in their helicopters to search a desert community for rebel terrorists. Credit where credit is due for sneaking that theme into an otherwise apolitical film. (And king bad guy carries a flaming cross.)
I'll repeat the question then - where are they going to go? Unless you think all of them could transition to SaaS companies I'm not seeing how it's relevant that they're senior execs.

Rents IN SF other than downtown actually seem stable or marginally lower except for downtown and SOMA coz people are running away from downtown due to homelessness among other issues.

Also colleges are closed so when colleges open in Aug/ Sept, many students will be back who left this year due to the COVID crisis raising the demand. This summer the demand is lower than ever due to COVID and homelessness.

The loss Hertz was producing wasn't outrageous compared to their sales and operating income (2019: $9.8b sales, $759m operating income, $805m in debt interest expenses). If you're Hertz you can make a very good case that that is a situation that can be managed, as they had been producing some growth over the prior years as well. Operating income had gone from $167m to $442m to $759m. It looked like they had a solid shot at climbing above the killer debt interest costs in 2020.

They were clearly in trouble, however the pandemic is what buried them. Lenders didn't see that coming.
It's not inevitable at the time when the debt is raised that it will be unserviceable. The creditors will have a view on whether the firm can service the debt, but typically that doesn't incorporate a complete cessation of business due to a global pandemic.

Whether in the larger picture the creditors are getting paid enough to take on the risk is an interesting question. My guess is that they don't take enough account of a scenario where many bankruptcies happen at once.
My co-worker who once worked in an Amazon fulfillment center, said that it was the most diverse place in terms of groups represented that he had ever worked. Conversely he said it was the most segregated environment he had ever been in, with different groups strictly regulating their interaction with other groups, say at lunch, to what they were required to do by work. I know it's anecdota, but I still don't know where I can square this information with the interactions and conversations we are having today. Maybe one-on-one interactions are the way to go, no group tribalism going on.

IMO they are much cleaner—plus you only need one of rvm and rbenv anyway.
The riots are also a way to maintain pressure on the DA's office to not drop charges or fail to fully prosecute Chauvin.
Of course it is in the Constitution.

tldr;

Summary:
The US Constitution authorizes the passing of laws.
The US Constitution authorizes the regulation of taxes, duty, imposts and excises, and the general welfare.
The US Constitution authorizes the regulation of Commerce with foreign nations
The US Constitution authorizes penalizing violating the Laws of Nations (International Law)
The US Constitution authorizes the President, with the Senate, to make treaties.
The US Constitution requires the US Government to protect individual states from invasion

So, whether you want to treat this as commerce, foreign nations, invasions, naturalization, international law, or just general welfare, it is in there. Do keep in mind that the US system of Laws is based on English Common Law in which citizens held certain rights not granted to aliens, or foreign powers.

The US Constitution authorizes Congress to pass laws

Section. 8.

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
...
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization
...
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations
...
Article 2, Section 2
....
He (The President) shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
...
Article 4, Section 4
...
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Nuance is such a rare commodity online these days.

One telling sign of that is that few, if any, media sources that criticized Facebook's decision even bothered to publish the rationale.

Think about that. Imagine perceiving yourself as journalist and intentionally not reporting the rationale of a point of view you disagree with.

Once I heard Facebook's logic... I actually found it compelling. I think it's good we have social media companies that don't all agree with one another and act as a single entity. That would be scary.

> In my opinion, this is worse for the renter than the landlord as the landlord can choose not to accept your month-to-month rent offer at the last minute leaving you stranded.

This is definitely a possibility. In practice it doesn't happen because it's a pain to find new renters, especially if you don't list and show the property ahead of time. Unless you're trying to get rid of a tenant it's unlikely to happen.

Also the tenant has other protections. If they won't renew your lease, they would have to evict you. A process that takes 30 days at least, and requires a visit to a judge. The judge would most likely side with the tenant on this one.

Their current CEO spent 28 years at Walmart, and Walmart (as well as several other retailers) has had great financial performance recently.

Or many of them could probably afford to sit on their butt at their beach home for a few years and ride out the recession.

I don't see any reason why they couldn't work at a SaaS company though. It's relevant that they're senior execs because their job position is so far removed from the actual product that they really only need a general understanding of it.
> Unfortunately police unions prevent that from being a viable option.

Exactly: this should really be in the realm of criminal prosecution, not civil suits, in which case the positives of qualified immunity could remain in place. But we have such a toxic, broken, in-group culture in our police force that we cannot rely on self-directed justice to happen. So I think we have no other option but to open the floodgates on civil suits.
