The problem with getting "all sides of the issue" is that that process itself is highly susceptible to bias. If there was an article about vaccines, should the news organization solicit opinions from antivaxxers? These are mostly uneducated fools who reject scientific consensus because it makes them feel a modicum of control, not because their anti-vaccine stance has any medical or societal merit whatsoever. Where does the value in seeking "all sides of the issue" come from?
I would argue no person can know "the law" unless they have read it. All of it. Constitutions, statutes, case law / jurisprudence, common law, HOA bylaws, etc. for every jurisdiction they are in.

I have no expectation that the average police officer "knows the law", but that same problem should not be used against civilians.

It does stand, however, that an officer should be reprimanded for trying to enforce a law where they don't know the law.
I'd hire this guy in an instant over a rando with a degree and no experience. Engineering degrees are by themselves not very useful, but they are an indicator that you can learn and to an extent teach yourself you need to know to solve problems. This guy has demonstrated that he would probably be extremely successful in most any engineering role I can imagine having a need for, with the possible exception of needing consultation on some really bleeding edge theoretical stuff that would normally be best served by a PhD.
Careful what you wish for. The GPUs in the Pinebook Pro or RasPi 4 can drive a 4k display. But they don't have the pixel throughput to composite a real 4k graphics scene or even desktop. It would be misery.

The application for those resolutions in mobile chips is to take a picture from the hardware video decoder and display it.

Right, but what I'm saying is this is the best choice we have right now. You are trying to choose a fantasy choice that does not exist. You current choices are:

1. Let the news die.

2. Pay for the news, suck up the fact that it has advertising.

3. Don't pay for the news and hope the rest of us pay for it so it doesn't die.

Your "option 4: news without advertising" does not exist. It may in the future, but only if ENOUGH OF US PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO RELY ON ADVERTISING.

TIL. Thanks!

edit: Hmmm, the gesture was sincere. I was aware of the principle but not the name. It's going to come in handy in these times.
I agree. I read the same passage and had the same complaint.

I just finished a Great Courses lecture series on the Norman conquest of England, and the professor makes this very comment. And also argues that the melding of Norman--not 'French', Norman was a sister to Old French that looks more like Vulgar Latin--and Old English is what gives modern English its vast vocabulary, roughly twice the size of Spanish; as many words have the Germanic and Romance varieties. You can 'meet' someone or 'encounter' someone, etc.

Ironically, "Norman" comes from "north men", as Normandy was settled by Scandinavian invaders who "went native" in France. Then they "went native" again in England, forgetting their original Norman.

CSSZengarden is mostly forgotten. True, it is just a demo project, but there were some prominent redesigns, and some people even had fun doing "CSS Swaps".
That's interesting. In the UK, it's pretty much standard. In fact I think (IANAL) that employment law mandates that the company has to pay for your amusingly-named "VDU" glasses if the majority of your work is in front of a screen and the optometrist says you need them. I got some recently and it's changed my life after several uncomfortable years of peering at odd angles through varifocals.
I use Blendle for this very reason. I read from a variety of sources and don't want to pay subscriptions to all of them, since I don't read all of each paper and wouldn't get my money's worth. Happy to a few dollars for a good handful of articles, but not north of $100-$200 when I only really read one section or selected articles.
Sorry, I was not very clear on that point, I didn't mean to imply they are doing it all in New Zealand. I meant to say that with hiring and support they get from U.S. aerospace industry (NSA, SpaceX , ULA etc) they have been able to launch out of New Zealand, for a small private country to that is remarkable and sign of lowering barriers of entry.

Schön Scandal
It has USB-C charging as well. I think that's sort of the best of both worlds, it's not like a barrel connection adds much to the board, and it means you can run it from a much less complex power supply.

It does mean it has an extra port that you might find unnecessary, but at the kind of prices they're selling this at including a usb-c charger would actually add a fair bit to their costs, and you can buy an aftermarket one pretty easily.
This is a really interesting problem; I feel like there's a range of solutions. First thought would be to take some sort of sensor checkpoint if you have full motor cutoff. Also wondering what the options are for soft-reboots that don't drop telemetry connections to your control hardware.
How does the validation of the stories work ? I hope it will not end up as the next place to fuel unnecessary violence like in Toronto.
Such a timeless quote. I believe this is the source:

Two things others have mentioned:

- It's an open device so you're not locked out of or into anything (Android devices don't cut it on this front)

- It's ARM-based

One thing they haven't:

- You don't pay for a Windows license you'll never use

That last thing has annoyed some of us for decades: funding (even in a minor way) a company that has been actively hostile to the platform we want to use. Plus it adds some amount of cost to the device. Believe what you will about their recent change of stance, some of us still don't want to send money their way unnecessarily.

Police act like laws don't apply to them because of Qualified Immunity
I actually agree with the protestors, not just in their goal but also in their methods thus far. Like I said in my earlier post, I think this helped get the police officer fired and arrested.

I hope this doesn’t get me labeled as “white” or “moderate” (I am neither).
I emphatically agree. Very few programmers are so talented that their soft skills don’t move the needle. For the majority of programmers, soft skills will be the single greatest differentiator between being a middle of the road software engineer or excelling and being _the_ engineer people adore.

An average programmers job is 90% writing code that anybody with a year of experience could write, it’s the 10% where you’re bridging the gap between technology and business that can realise a whole new world of value — and that depends on soft skills.
I'd be super interested in seeing what you've got! Is your implementation posted anywhere?

I really like your Stylus project btw!

I mean, I'm with you 100%. I don't know why the news doesn't do a better job of presenting both sides of the story. I get around this by getting news from a lot of sources. It doesn't take very long either. My morning news intake:

- minnesota public radio (my local)
- economist news briefing
- the journal (from WSJ)
- WSJ tech news briefing
- up first (NPR)
- the daily (nytimes).

I would LOVE to add a more conservative one into the mix here. I'm just saying, there's a difference between people updating wikipedia vs people who have a full time job that involves covering the news, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. That is worth paying for. FWIW I also pay for wikipedia. But I also pay for nytimes, washington post, and the star tribune.
Why GPT-3 Matters
Currently, I'm having to watch the videos and verify them personally. Not the way I want to spend my evenings but sadly something I feel I have to do.
College is a place to learn social skills as well as technical skills. 75% of your effort should go to technical college work, 25% of your effort should go to socializing. Conversely, 75% of your leisure should go to socializing and 25% to non technical yet brain stimulating work.

I shouldn’t have to state that this rule is better taken figuratively than literally.
For me (as a European) it is mainly exceptional because of the SpaceX effort. It just appeared to me as if it was something America was proud of, because they invented space flight or something, which they didn't. It's just never "celebrated" anywhere when the Russians fly to space over and over.
In the context of the riots going on right now, I’d rather have their faces be ID’d so they can never find a job again, assuming they had one in the first place.

Nope. I bought Wahl clippers on eBay for $60 and started cutting my own hair. Each haircut I gave myself improved, and now I'm really happy with the way it turns out. Its almost as good as what I'd get at a barbershop, and I imagine after a few more cuts I'll stop going to the barber completely. Nothing beats the cost and convenience either. The clippers have already paid for themselves, and I don't need to schedule an appointment weeks in advance or drive anywhere. This is definitely something I'm going to continue doing going forward.
hahahahahaha May you continue to go down as an accessory to fascism.
I'm interested to hear more of your ideas around this
There's only so much we can do to prevent atrocities committed by isolated psychopaths. The only possible cure -- strict universal gun control -- is not part of the conversation right now.

Can our police be trusted with all the rights, all the privileges, and all the guns? That may be a tough sell at the moment.

We use Janus for a few hundred clients all spread out over a few instances. It works great for us. We tried kurento and it was just soooo hard and complex to setup. The Janus JS client library is pretty good and makes it really really easy
Actually, I would LOVE to see this information.

My understanding is cops kill way more often than they are killed. But I'd love to stand corrected.

My understanding is the thin blue line is a myth. The real terrors are the cops. But again I'd love to be wrong.
DevOps SRE, how can I help?
Because that’s not parenting? This may be an unpopular truth in today’s world, but sometimes you need to make your kids do or try things they are resistant to in hopes it gives them skills to better succeed when they are adults.

SpaceX is the most amazing demonstration of can-do spirit coupled with simple and good ideas. Elon Musk is the epitome of the can-do, unafraid, business man, but combined with great engineering chops and vision.

And think of the fact that all of this is nothing compared to what a fully-deployed StarLink will do, and what weekly or daily launch capabilities would mean for the U.S. armed forces. The number of satellites to shoot down in a war is going up, and the rate at which they can be replaced is also going up. Moreover, the cost of sending up new interesting military sats is going way down, which means we'll see greatly upgraded capabilities in many areas. Civilian science too will be benefiting greatly.

SpaceX's commercial and non-commercial competition is hobbled by subsidies. Ahhh, what a great demonstration that subsidies are dangerous to business. Otherwise, if they really wanted to, the competition is not that far behind SpaceX, and could catch up, and pretty quickly if they want to, but in the meantime, SpaceX continues to innovate and get ahead.
I suspect the police already spend a large amount of resources tracking down instances of abuse and violence against police. Do you think there is a shortage of records of these events, or that there is a concerted effort to coverup these events?

Ask HN: How to make a difference in the elections as an engineer?
I'm an engineer cooped up in side my NYC apartment trying to figure out what I can do to best help my party (Democrats) win the election this coming fall. I know of opportunities to get volunteer to help races in other states (since we all know NY always goes blue) by making calls and sending texts but it feels like there should be a way to utilize my skills as an engineer to make a different kind of difference. Are there groups I can donate my time to as an engineer or programs I can build to support my party? I am not looking to quit my job but I have a lot of free time.
I absolutely agree with that but this view is limited to a subgroup who can empathise. The reality is in multiple modes, competition and all for oneself’s interests is generally a frequently met philosphy to a quite large subgroup and thats a human nature thing. Only when we all realize that it’s better for all of us if we’re not predominantly ruled by psychopaths and narcisits maybe things will turn around
FWIW I'm happy to donate to you, or if you find a way to pay someone to do the sorting I'm happy to chip in for that as well.
When I hear things like this it sounds the same to me as "We're focusing on teachers who sexually harass students. Can we make sure to also focus on the students that sexually harass teachers?" In both scenarios there is a power imbalance, even more so for police. Those who have power over others must be held to a higher standard during their work in that capacity.
I do WebRTC on Edge/IoT devices (mostly MIPS/ARM devices running Linux). Customers are mostly teleoperations (robotics) and security cameras.

Most customers run an MCU/SFU on a server, but then just a WebRTC client on the device. We do simulcast on the device to an SFU, and then distribute from there. Happy to answer questions here or directly.

You know where the expression "bad apples" came from, right? A few bad apples spoil the bunch. In other words, if there are a couple of rotten apples in a barrel, it spreads quickly to the whole barrel. In other words, it's important to find and throw out the bad apples immediately or you'll have to throw out the whole barrel a few days later.
Y'all killed it
yes please add also a section of brutality applied to the police. what comes around goes around

haha the police have already brutality attacked your website..
I did some digging around for this info, and I think this is important. In 2018, 55 police officers were murdered in the line of duty [1]. In the same year, police officers shot 995 people to death [2].

It probably comes with any job that requires a gun.
Police brutality is a Bad Thing. There is also much lower hanging fruit in terms of saving lives and improving the world. About 1,000 people die in the US each year through encounters with the police. Over 400,000 people die in Africa each year from Malaria and we have very effective tools for combating it[1]. Police brutality is a big issue but the current media attention doesn't make "boring" causes less important or deadly.

Arguably the #1 exportable skill you gain from college is metacognition - learning how to learn. So that the next time you find yourself staring into a "I have no idea" moment, instead of being stuck, you'll be able to iteratively expand your mental map of the territory; form and test hypotheses; sketch out needed or missing tooling, etc.
