Here is what absolutely boggles my mind: this information is so well know the USA Department Of The Army Field Manual on Counterinsurgency contains:

> Security force abuses and the social upheaval caused by collateral damage from combat can be major escalating factors for insurgencies.

Let's look at the subset of people that vote. If they consistently vote and encourage others to vote,
and yet their candidates never win, they are effectively powerless. For them it is no different than living under a monarchy, except for the vague hope that maybe eventually their candidates will win and their policies enacted. Eventually that vague hope makes things even more painful, since they know that their government will never represent them, despite them theoretically having the power to decide their leaders. Either they will resent the system or they will resent their neighbors who either vote for the opposition or don't vote.

Think about all of the left-wing voters in a very Red congressional district or state. Think of all the right wing voters in a very Blue district or state. They are not officially disenfranchised, but their vote doesn't really matter either, so why vote at all? The equation changes somewhat for swing states/districts, but even then it's often a lesser of two evils choice, rather than any major progression towards policy goals. There are some democracies that mitigate some of these issues (getting rid of the electoral college and first past the post would go a long way in the US), but in general democracy leaves a lot of people dissatisfied.

If your major disagreement with the status quo is the tax rate, or certain business regulations, your dissatisfaction with the democratic process is manageable. If your major disagreement with the status quo is police brutality and injustice that make your life miserable, then what is the downside to rioting and destruction? Maybe there's only a tiny chance that something good will come out of it, but it's better than a zero percent chance of enacting change by continuing to vote and lose elections.

I doubt this works very well.
Bringing in the national guard (and sometimes even active duty) during riots is the same thing that happened in 1962, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1980, 1992, 1999, etc etc (probably missed a lot).

So to the extent that "you've a leader who just turned the military on US citizens" is true, it's also been true for many decades.
It's not "somewhere" it's from Tesla and all other self-driving car companies hyping their eventual product to get stock boosts or get bought. Nobody that I've ever met in industry or tech seriously thought that self-driving was possible en masse. There's just too many unknowns.
I think this one's definitely happening.

The cost of renewing your lease and staying in the bay area vs simply moving out for the year to your parents' house / LCOL area where if it really comes down to it, you can simply break your lease much easier is an easy trade-off.
> I'm curious if you truly think the people that I listed want to see their home towns on fire

When given a choice to protect murderous cops or prevent a fire, they chose to protect the murderous cops. All the cops have to do is go to jail, get a court date, post bail and sit at home. Why can't a cop that murdered someone be that inconvenienced?
The electorate induces fear by holding the ability to give and take power from the government. They make their demands known by being loud. The vast majority of us have been guilty of being silent when our neighbor is desperately imploring the government for change. I am guilty of silence, and I regret it and will make my demands known.

All of this does not mean that the reasonable peaceful path is not effective. It just tells us citizens must take part.

It is yet to be determined if looting and violence can result in change. What is most likely is that the government uses this to justify greater oppression.
The US is unlivable for the folks they’ve killed though.

Many other countries don’t seem to have this problem, why is it unreasonable to ask police to not kill people?

Oakland: 9%

Also, certainly in Minneapolis—and likely elsewhere—the police chief doesn't seem to have nearly as much control over rank and file officers as the union head does. This story gives more texture: https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2020/05/minneapoli...
I once loss most of my taste sense, and only could taste the sweet. It might seem like a cool thing, but it's annoying as hell. Everything tasted sweet. A nice beer turned into a disgusting carbonated drink. Eating a burger was like chewing mushy candy. I didn't feel like eating anything.

Thankfully it only lasted a couple of weeks.
Unfortunately I no longer find NPR credible, they are too reliant on donations from large corporate donors and are openly partisan in their politics. I occasionally listen to their radio shows to get 'the establishment view' but that' about it...

This is how you know someone doesn’t have a spine.
I remeber I was always happy when I lose my sense of taste and smell because of flu, this will help eat more, I don't eat a lot, and my options are limited because of high sense of smell and taste,
I wouldn't want to be an on-call electrician, driving out and fixing ovens and light switches. Most of my tradie mates try to avoid those kinds of jobs too, ideally a job doing fit out on a large commercial worksite is what you want, office buildings and that kind of thing, even better if it's a union worksite.

I've always enjoyed construction work though (electrical and other), sure it's not intellectually stimulating, but it's rewarding. Sometimes I actually regret having such an intellectually demanding day job, after 8 hours of work often I'm too mentally drained to do what I want in the evening. There's also a certain sense of satisfaction from seeing your physical finished work that you just don't get as a software developer.

Working as an industrial electrician would be more my kind of thing, performing maintenance on machinery, programming PLCs, that kind of thing. Repairing equipment requires a lot of the same mental processes as debugging code, I enjoy doing both. It's a good cross between physical and mental work. The money is very reasonable, up to $50 an hour.

The thin one is the x360, I don’t recall the other one — I don’t need more than 16GB.

I’m sure Apple doesn’t care at all — they removed the iMac memory slots and made storage replacement impossible for no real good reason at all as well. That combined with the gouging for additional capacity and the borderline fraud of shipping the defective keyboard for years was enough for me.

I liked MacOS a lot, but the companies behavior is a textbook example of why you need competitive forces in hardware.
I know someone who is in the age range most vulnerable to covid-19 who always says she has no sense of smell, but my impression is it's a long-standing thing, possibly related to allergies or something.
I think younger people (who mostly speak english as well) are less concerned about borrowing or code switching, whereas older people (who may have lower levels of english skills) may have wanted to stick to all-German, resulting in such backporting as “hereunderladen”.

People like to use the terms/style they are most familiar with. (See also: how über/ueber turned into “uber” in english.)

I think the age of the term and the age of the speaker matter a lot.

NYC resident saying police is letting people loot without firing tear gas/rubber bullets in SOHO. That the only way the police could have intervened to stop the riots/protests (a crowd of thousands) would have led to it being more violent.

Sounds right to me. The vast majority of people are expecting the movie rather than the time period, so of course Google would show the movie's length.
The other scenario is whether fully autonomous vehicles out-perform humans in sufficiently many other scenarios such that we will consider the comparatively rare scenario of an overturned truck not that big of a deal compared to the massive numbers killed due to raw human carelessness. Furthermore, autonomous vehicles will likely get better and better at driving collectively, something which I would make a heavy bet against for human drivers.
I share the same discomfort at the idea, but I think if everyone is subject to the exact same treatment, then it should be a lot less so. I would not be opposed to algorithmic blurring as long as the raw, unedited footage remains available via system of approved requests with the appropriate access controls.

For what it is worth, I have not been questioned by a police officer for something I did or did not do. I do think that me having the mindset that I am always being watched in public helps me better police myself, so I think the more obvious and ever-present version might instill a similar feeling in others.

At the same time, I can see that having this footage available has a slippery-slope effect when it comes to privacy and authoritarian control. However, this issue of groups of people using technology to control or manipulate others is fundamentally a non-technical issue to me because these people exist irrespective of that technology's existence.
Being a police officer is a difficult, thankless, dangerous job, yet critical for a functional society.

You don't get the same resources, respect, or pension of the military. If you are let go/fired, you have little chance of finding something comparable close by.

It's not healthy for the psyche to be put into harm's way for an entire career span. There is probably a lot of untreated PTSD going on. It's not surprising that they are very leery of policies that would put them or fellow officers at risk, or be guinea pigs for policies pushed down from above.

People get awkward or remain guarded around police in social settings, so law enforcement tends to fraternize with each other and their families.

None of this makes for an environment that promotes transparency.

I'm not making any judgements for or against any of the events that have transpired. But I have sympathy for everyone involved. I suspect that the police-public dynamic will never be changed without a significant cultural shift in attitudes.

What that ellipsis elides completely changes the meaning of the quote. The pro-police forces referred to don't necessarily include the commander. If the original person was talking about the police, would they not have used the term "police forces" instead? The fans aren't the team.
Nope, same problem.
One issue I had was that I converted a lot of English terms into "italianized" (I'm from Italy) terms, where the word would be still English but with some suffix to change the attributes of the word, that are in italian.
This was even more problematic because now you needed to know both English and Italian to understand what I was saying. A teacher did complain about it.

The majority of the books I was reading on the topic were written in English so the conversion did take a lot of effort.

I decided to just use English if the context is CS (well, now my job).

One big problem is that software developers in Italy write code in Italian.

I figured out early the reasons for not doing so, but this wasn't shared.
I'm in an English speaking country now, so I never solved the problem effectively. Or I did, since I just use English everywhere at work
It could be done differently. The social networks already track engagement with posts and ads, and already use that to recommend new content (eg. engage with fluffy cat pictures, get more fluffy cat pictures in the feed).

The only thing they need to do is that if a post that went viral is debunked, they need to show a retraction to users that have engaged with the fake content.

Deleting the content means some people think that it's a conspiracy ("they don't want you to know"), whereas giving corrective information allows people to revisit their beliefs.

It's my understanding that the Insurrection Act can only be utilized by the president at the request of the state government. i.e., the state has to specifically request military aid in order for troops to be deployed.

Can anyone confirm if my understanding is correct? If so, that eases my anxiety a little bit, because at this point I'm doubting any governors will ask for it. Either way, this whole situation is crazy.

EDIT: my understanding might not be accurate. This is what Wikipedia says:

> It further allows for the president to do the same in a state without the explicit consent of a state's government if it becomes impracticable to enforce federal laws through ordinary proceedings or if states are unable to safeguard its inhabitants' civil rights.

There are only two current versions[1] of the 13" MBP:

1. "MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)"

2. "MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports)"

The two-port version comes only with the 8th gen CPU[2] and the four-port only with the 10th gen[3]. So you ordered the four-port version. That's not the model I was commenting about, nor is it the model this article is about.

This is such a pet-peeve for me. A noisy network service turned on by default where most users won't use it,but all users are exposed to the network through it. (Edit: I mean in most Linux Distros not in this example, of course I have no problem with anyone intentionally doing anything to their own system)

In my opinion, modern systems shouldn't run services in case something needs them, they should be dynamically loaded and unloaded (isn't this what dbus is for??). If Chrome needs mDNS it can ask for it. If network resources are accessed at login, the login processes can request avahi to be loaded and then unloaded once they're done. What really feels like insult to injury is how systemd was forced on unwilling users because of features like this, yet avahi,cups,etc... Just sit there idle even if you didn't start any application that has a need for them.

I think maybe I am seeing it from the wrong perspective?
-- Cars have a thermodynamic problem for society --> a 1500kg car to move 1-2 80kg people is very energy inefficient and resource intensive to manufacturer.

I think there's a good gap in the market to be made by E-Bikes, but it needs regulatory help (Bike lans with barricades) to make people feel safe enough to commute.

My reasonably old and frail father has an E-Bike and he zips around town on it. The hill assist is great (Though i did enjoy the slightest bit of schadenfreude when he's battery died before the return uphill to his house on day) But he lives in a town with a lot of bike paths, so he's not really on the road.

I think if you can break open that market you could make driving safer and make biking safer. It's just right now driving is a wealthy gabmit. Rich people drive tesla's and value signal with them it's not a new issue but getting people onto bicycles would be great for everyone on the road.
> If a reader wants to read what an author puts out

Why would anyone want to read stuff like sponsored articles which are nothing but thinly veiled advertising? Articles that were pretty much written by PR firms? Why would anyone trust journalists with conflicts of interest? Social media "influencers"?

I want real information. Real thoughts from real people. Not some censored, manipulated corporate viewpoint created to maximize profits. People who actually have something to say go out of their way to tell as many people as possible about their ideas. They don't need to get paid for it. I'm not getting paid to post here.

> maybe they should be allowed to be subject to advertising so that the author doesn't have to pay for it.

Allowed by whom? The user is in control, not the author. It is the user who owns the computer that runs the browser. If any ad gets shown on the screen, it is because the user generously allowed it to happen. Most people do this out of pure good will only to end up being mercilessly abused for the sake of someone's business model. Nevertheless, it is a privilege which can be unilaterally revoked and there is next to nothing that websites can do to stop it. After content has left the server, the author is no longer in control.
I agree with a lot of what you said and think you did a good job saying it!

> Every night I've watched thousands of unarmed peaceful protestors march by, demanding action. Meanwhile the NYPD is out in full military gear firing chemical weapons and rubber bullets indiscriminately at anyone who looks at them the wrong way.

I was forwarded an interesting newsletter today from Mark Manson. He talks about holding contradictory ideas in our minds and how uncomfortable that can make us. How much easier is can be to fall back on confirmation bias and fallacies of composition/division.

It’s much easier to think of the protestors as all peaceful and the cops as indiscriminate thugs than to wrestle with the messy middle of some rioting looters causing mayhem and mostly peace loving officers trying to deescalate.

I recommend reading it and I found it thoughtful and basically apolitical until the left learning ending.

The state's autopsy claimed he died of hypertension and coronary artery disease. It never mentioned anything about asphyxiation and went on to speculate about how he may have been on drugs. The police also claimed at the time that he was resisting arrest. The police were fired after the video was released. The cop that murdered him had eighteen prior complaints, none of which were followed up on. Why do we assume #19 would be the one without the video and the protests?
Seattle PD maced a child and the officer who did it faced no repercussions. Is the Chief of Police a toothless position? The only other conclusion is that maybe GP should consider removing Seattle's Chief as a supporting example.

I would consider macing children to be "cartoonishly evil."
I think in high school someone was trying to scare us into not driving drunk or recklessly, and imprinted on me that while you may see in the newspaper someone is no longer in "critical" condition, and be like "oh, good they're fine now" they may have devastating life long effects.

No matter what kind of illness or injury, you don't see how bad and permanent it often is unless you are personally involved or close to the person, but by the time you are an adult, you should know this is generally the case. The outside world, including the keepers of medical statistics write down on their scorecard that someone recovered, but it's not really like that.
It's not unreasonable. It is the right thing to do. Everyone who has been silent must speak up. That is the only way politicians will know they will be voted out of office if they don't comply with appropriate legislation. I have been generally uninvolved and I regret it.

Violence and crime though will allow the government to justify greater oppression.
I am pro-police and I do NOT want mayhem. The ideal protest in my eyes is a peaceful, effective one. One that causes real change -- like increased oversight, accountability, altered training, etc -- in the general police population: one that fixes the very real problems we've seen with police for years and continuously improves law enforcement for years to come.

Claiming "pro-police forces WANT mayhem" paints the situation in a very generalized, unhelpful, us-versus-them light.

There are definitely some pro-police forces that probably want some mayhem, for exactly the reason you state. There's probably others that want mayhem for other reasons. Across the board, however, I'd imagine most pro-police groups of people prefer peaceful protests that don't put officer lives at risk, not to mention all the collateral damage to protestors, buildings, economies, etc. that also could be avoided.

It's entirely possible (and, I'd argue, likely) that pro-police people aren't some homogenous group of schemers. You can be enraged about police brutality, abuse, and misconduct -- and also enraged by violent riots.
Appearances can deceive, which is why we do autopsies in the first place.
