Do unified backends mean that the government can't enforce antitrust action? That would be quite the loophole.

I asked the MSIX team about code signing at Build recently, they said they will be previewing "Azure Trust Service" this summer which makes code signing easier: https://twitter.com/jvintzel/status/1262794128351322114

The current code signing situation on Windows is painful. It's especially galling how the code signing requirements apply to modern sandboxed Windows applications as well - an MSIX-packaged application with minimal capabilities is subject to the same requirements as an EXE that can do anything.
I appreciate the desire for prudence on emotional topics - however, in this specific case, the description is a reasonable generalization. Maybe not all 110 cases were unreasonable or deliberate, but it's impossible to overstate the importance of the fact that many of the cases were.
Yes. It is time dependent, of course - you could get 11% on German Bundesanleihen in the early 80s. Having said that, Levine’s rule is sound.
I am honestly rejoicing at the sight of Americans discovering they are not really as free or as better than the rest of the world as they think they are. Maybe this will be the kindle that will help make things right for the entire population. I know the majority of HN readers are in the top 10% of the population and don't face the same struggles as others.
Rioters are the competition for police right now, and competition is anything but fierce.

When people are driving cars full speed into policemen, executing officers, throwing incendiary devices at people, covering for looters, and major media outlets are bending over backwards to justify it (which I suspect is, at the managerial/editorial level, naked self-preservation).

This is not grieving, it's a civil war; many journalists have chosen a side and you know it, and there is no moral principle that you will be able to uphold on that matter from your apartment.
@dang are you making an exception for these posts given the current situation? Although important, I do not see anything of technological interest. Any post about the protests are going to incite flame wars and make HN indistinguishable from any other social website right now.
Well... At least it's more than 3.

Still, by then the ship should be somewhat top-heavy and those six landing pinkies do not inspire much trust.

OTOH, the people designing this are smarter than we are and much more experienced than me in rocket design, so they may know one or two things I don't.

I couldn’t agree more. Regardless of how bad he is, it is absurd to Muzzle the president in this way.
I agree with you but why only the President? This gets at the frequent HN topic of big tech censorship vs freedom of speech. Why should we forcibly remove any posts at all? Why should _Insert_Big_Tech_Company_ get to tell me what's right and wrong as opposed to letting me make my own determination by reading it? When we remove censorship, we also invite others to critique and counter ideas that are deemed "incorrect".
This is something people are severely underestimating.

If you slander and dehumanize 40-60% of the population with accusations of white supremacy, you're going to create a white supremacist movement where one did not previously exist.
That's complicated. This isn't what lawmakers are interested in passing. Broad "get it done however" motions is how modern laws are written, with some very notable exceptions due to lobbying.
Where can you find credible, unbiased news coverage?

I've started watching foreign news coverage of the US. It seems better, but I can't yet tell how much; all news still love the sensational stuff.
"Disclosure", not "disclaimer".
No where, I said 'slightly above starting out'. For example in Baltimore where they have a $15 minimum wage (~31k /yr) the advertised starting salary for a police officer is something like $35-38k while they are in training which as far as I can tell lasts for 6-12 months that gets bumped up to ~$53k and after several years you can take some kind of test to become a supervisor where you make up to low six figures. A college degree is helpful but not strictly required.

A doctor on the other hand starts out making 70k in their residency after 4 years of undergrad and 4 years of med school. Once their residency is over they can expect to make well into the six figures. Probably in the 300-400k range. COVID is a few months of increased danger that happens perhaps once in a career for which some medical professionals are even getting paid extra for.

I don't necessarily think police are under paid but to say you can attract people because of the public service aspect of the job and ignore the vast pay difference seems to ignore the obvious difference.
The last time I linked you multiple objective instances showing journalists being attacked by the police unprovoked, you made some strong efforts to try and ignore the context of those videos.

I don't think you're here to actually argue in good faith at all.

Sourcegraph is building Universal Code Search so developers can focus on solving problems instead of struggling to find and understand code.

Sourcegraph search helps developers find and discover code by providing the ability to quickly search across all code using regular expressions and advanced filters. Sourcegraph code intelligence helps developers navigate and understand code by providing hover tooltips, go-to-definition, and find-references, when viewing code on Sourcegraph or on a code host (via our browser extension). Sourcegraph campaigns enable developers to fix and evolve code at scale by automating search-and-replace and running arbitrary tools across massive codebases.

The one major improvement is that you're having to buy just the full game instead of 2 variants. The chances are you already have the original full game, and using that to teach a reduced set makes sense if you don't wanna (or can't) buy the smaller set because it will stop being fun in a year once the kid learns the main game.

There is also the fact that some games won't even have reduced sets (Guillotine for eg), or will have it but it will be impossibly hard to get where I live. I can easily get a copy of TTR in India, but finding a copy of TTR:1st Journey is much tougher.
It's interesting you say that, because most people feel one way or the other.

In my personal experience, even most written news is junk. It just seems like it's not junk because it uses intellectual language and doesn't feature a man in a suit speaking loudly. All news leaves out key details and editorializes.

But some people don't see it this way, and it's scary that we are this fractured because it's hard to reconcile. If two people are reading the news and come to dipolar conclusions, how do they come to an agreement? For the sake of argument, let's say that one perspective on the news is accurate, and the other is inaccurate; the chances that the more correct person will be able to persuade the person with the less accurate view seems close to nil.
So the part of that which isn't paywalled simply says that doing something illegal, or doing something legal in a threatening manner, can be broken up by police.

Maybe it's in the full-text, but where does it say police can attack non-violent bystanders? Because I'm not seeing it in there.
Hypocrisy is a problem too. At some point, a mild improvement over totalitarianism becomes an implementation detail.

Accessibility and What It Means
Ah, but Autopilot is a software product whose marketing suggests it's possible to remove responsibility for driving a car from the driver.
Staying inside was never the actual response to Covid-19. The CDC and local guidelines specifically say that going outside is a safe activity. Where I live I see a lot of people outside, distant from each other, taking walks and hanging out in the park like any other summer.

In fact, one of the only safe ways to spend time with friends is outside. I know of many people who had socially distant gatherings outside - in the past they may have spent this time indoors in close quarters.

I don’t assume that everyone is literally staying inside any more than they were before. It’s not like the office was outside, either. Heck, the 20% of America that is now unemployed might be spending more time outside.

Reducing the risk of contracting Covid-19 is about people, place, time, and space. Sitting in a restaurant for an hour with trapped air mingling amongst talking and eating people is a lot worse than passing someone on a sidewalk. Nothing about the guidelines have anything to do with literally remaining indoors.

Also, the response isn’t about maximizing outcomes once you get the virus. It is about preventing the hospital systems from being overrun. In other words, whether or not staying home helps you survive Covid-19 once you get the virus wasn’t ever a part of this mitigation.

The government can’t make people suddenly not be obese or have heart conditions. They can’t make you eat healthy and get the vitamins you need. All they can do is stop the hospital from running out of beds and staff.

As far as your theory, I dunno. I don’t see anything beyond a very weak link. Humans are pattern builders, and we all want to shortcut ourselves to see a pattern out of very different pieces of information. I’m not going to guess either way on your theory because I don’t want to jump to conclusions.
Of international importance, I would say.
Either that or standing a bit away from crowd filming.

If he posts from the official POTUS account, I'd support that. Anything from his personal account shouldn't be treated any differently at all.
The fact that you're asking that question is the problem.

(Assuming there's some good faith there.)

Governments ought not to "control" protest crowds in a democracy. This is literally written down in the foundational-myth-papyrus of America.

By and large none of these crowds start as "violent" crowds. These are drivers, bartenders, moms, students, butterfly-collectors, tinkerers, teachers, short-order cooks -- they are citizens, calling for a redress of grievances.

The instinct and assumption that you ought "correctly to control" such people is what leads to increased tension and ultimately violence.

Source: I live in Seattle, and for nearly 10 years lived a block off of Pine St. (almost all of the pictures or videos you have seen of Seattle recently would be on the Pike/Pine corridor). I would see protest marches off my porch and on my walk to work, as well as black bloc types. I've walked home on May Day through protests a few times. The participants all start very clearly as protesters or vandals. Protesters have signs and wear their union jackets or their scrubs or their tennis shoes and khakis, or their superhero outfits, or whatever; they are there to protest. There are very, very few proper vandals to start off these things.

But you know what vandals and looters love? The chaos that ensues when forces with an instinct to "control" unleash munitions and other uses of force on the protesters. Do some protesters boil over and turn into vandals when the temperature and pressure turn up? Yes.

By the time you have a "violent crowd", you've fucked up and arguably lost the mandate of heaven.
> unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon

Hundreds of journalists brutalised over the last week would seem to qualify, though for 'interesting' substitute 'horrifying'.
In theory, cops aren’t supposed to use a lot of lethal ammunition either, but here we are.
In Atlanta, our excessive force on Saturday evening didn't literally force a weapon into someone's hands, but several officers have now been charged, and one of the discovery items was common post police incident reports of a weapon, even though no body cam footage mentions a weapon and no weapon was found.

It's a case of officers committing perjury as to the events that occurred to figuratively put a weapon into the scene.

I bet the reason for these journalists ending up in the line of attack is not violation of curfew, but a violation of a lawful order to disperse.

I am impressed so many people on HN do not seem to understand the concept and reasoning behind it.
There is definitely a video from a day or two ago of a cop on top of a protestor with his hand pinned to the ground the cop then moves his baton under the hand of the protester and keeps it pinned on top. He proceeds to then punch his hand trying to appear as if he wants him to let go.

Also who gives a shit if they just got verbally harassed for an hour. I don’t get to lose my shit and delete a project because someone keeps submitting bad code. Why do cops get to lose their temper when their job is to keep the peace and enforce the law. Learn to control yourself and do your job or find another profession.
Infighting.
I had been heartened by the right's recent upswing in fierce support for the first amendment, but unfortunately I've seen little of that support during the protests as freedom of assembly and freedom of the press have been attacked. For example Rand Paul has not tweeted in a week. Sadly, as always, these kind of principled arguments, on both sides, are a sham to advance whatever the partisan battle of the week is.
That was actually a great read, thanks!
Do a google search for German police brutality on YouTube.[1] The German cops have a reputation for getting physical with protestors.

Ah, my error. If you want to see what I was thinking, imagine I'd pulled the "fuller" quote 'insertion sort, which still requires extra scanning instead of manipulation and remains O(n^2), even in real life'.

The point of my comment was just that the complexity of an algorithm as analyzed under one set of primitive operations doesn't automatically translate into another set of operations, even when at a high level it's the same algorithm. It is dangerous to study CS, learn that selection sort (on arrays, on a computer well described by a C-like language) is O(n^2), and then conclude that selection sort (in any context) is inherently O(n^2). That may be true of selection sort in specific -- it's difficult to avoid concluding that the selection step is roughly ϴ(n), and must always run n times -- but the reasoning is faulty, and won't transfer to other algorithms.
Do you know of any projects exploring this space?

Fair points about the response to the virus. However, if there is anything to the sunlight idea then it's going to look questionable in hindsight.
Amazing work. Keep it up.
Devil’s advocate thought experiment: suppose I was a CEO of a large social media company and my personal view is pro-life. Should I remove pro-choice posts (or censor them with violence labels), or should I allow discussion on the topic even though I personally disagree with it?

I don’t think people can have their cake and eat it too. Either the CEOs of these companies start imposing their personal views on their users or they try to make the platform as neutral as possible. In-between solutions are going to make everyone angry.
Any stolen phone can be tracked or barred from networks thanks to its unique IMEI. Doing this as a matter of course would seriously discourage theft.
>>>People trained by the military to police occupied communities should not be allowed to act as civilian police in peacetime conditions.

I've brought this up before: US law enforcement has a long-established training relationship with Israel. Is it any surprise that American police have a "siege mentality" when they are being trained by a country that is basically dealing with a multi-decade insurgency/hybrid war?

https://progressive.org/dispatches/us-police-trained-by-isra...
That is true. On a meta level, that is kind of what a police union should protect interests of the police force. Shows how this, be it unions or any other association, can backfire.
Muzzle is a strong word to use to describe a man who can call a press conference that will be attended by every major national and international news organization at the drop of a hat, and, failing that, can send an SMS to every phone in the USA.

> It's definitely not Lawnmower Man/the matrix/ready player one yet

I think we have surpassed Lawnmower man already. We are only missing the extra hardware, like the full body suits and moving beds/leonardo devices. And even then, not really: Lawnmower man happened at a well funded laboratory, the scientist just had some expensive company hardware at home. We have better quality headsets at home today.

Ready player one was... inconsistent. They handwaved the movement problems.

> if you want the "best" graphics

This will always be true, VR headset or not. If you want the 'best' graphics, you always have to for over a lot of money for specialized GPU hardware. The thing is, it's perfectly fine to use an untethered Quest to play something like Superhot or Beat Saber.

> For me it's hard to go back to "flat gaming" after vr.

This is why I think the market is going to explode. Every single person I've shown it has walked away impressed. Young, old, doesn't matter. Even non-gamers.

Oculus Quest and similar devices are on the right track.

> I modeled the house in Maya, imported it into UE, and was able to put on my oculus and "walk" around the space.

I'll definitely try this!

I wonder when 3d Modeling will be primarily done with a headset. Like, would it be useful to do the initial modelling in Maya itself?

For developers working at Microsoft? How are they paid via? They are paid out of Microsoft profits. If Microsoft stops making the humongous amounts of money of Windows, Office, SQL Server, the salaries aren't going to be paid out of thin air.

Majority of software firms either sell software (Sell fully or SaaS), or make money by advertising. If they are not going to make money by selling, who is going to pay the developers?
> That position being that the IA shouldn't do what the law says you aren't allowed to do?

But does it say that? Their status as an officially-recognized library means they're operating by different rules than most private citizens. Libraries are (sometimes) allowed to make copies of copyrighted works without asking anyone's permission. It's entirely possible that the limitations they imposed on digital lending prior to this event were merely a expression of courtesy—or excess caution—and not an actual legal obligation.
I think the idea that the office of the President confers with it the ability to flout norms, rules & laws is a dangerous one.

Monarchs are above the law: a president should be required to follow every law & every rule to the same degree as any other citizen.

The real difference over a file is that you some intelligence(the manager) running that can offer all kinds of additional security functionality.

A typical deployment might involve placing the manager on a secure host that has access to generate and rotate keys, for example.

The manager can then configured to re-generate keys and vend them on-demand to instances that need require them. You can configure these keys with very limited access, and also make them expiring.

The manager then becomes effectively a keystore that can never export master keys, but only vends out some limited-scope keys to other instances.

Other instances would have to authenticate using some pre-configured host keys or even be authenticated directly though the cloud provider.

If your instances are compromised, the worst someone can do is to get access to a limited-scope key that will expire.

Hopefully you have other measures in place that would prevent and detect someone from just sitting on an instance and sucking up all your data and exporting them.
On problem - the software / template they used was so unprofessional looking I wouldn't be suprised if a fake version looked better than the real thing.
