As someone of mixed ethnicity who, if I was there could easily be victimized by a senseless mob to whom I owe nothing and have committed no crime against.. yea I am not happy with how the mainstream media promotes and covers this story, downplaying the victims of the chaos and sympathizing with outpourings of anger even if illegal. To clarify, looters should not be shot, law should prevail, and the policeman involved in the original incident should be investigated.. but the mainstream media is to my mind basically behind the looters, and I know if by chance I or someone like me were to be caught in the crossfire and killed, the mainstream media, posturing as champions of justice, would just implicitly shrug. So yea I can't help but feel disaffected by this coverage, no matter how vile the originating incident.
I'm pretty conflicted on this issue overall, but I don't think it's entirely nuts to hold the President of the US to a higher standard than many other accounts.

You don’t prioritize your personal focus, you prioritize an objective. Most often these objectives are very clear to the rest of the team.

Also I can’t believe you “know” something is “important enough to interrupt them”. I work for a place in which the most “junior” dev is worth a quarter of a million dollars a year. I am not going to tell some dude who is probably figuring out a new way to pack data to save us thousands of dollars a day, to take a minute to listen to me. It better be a fire.

I work as a developer in the European public sector, we already took privacy and security rather serious because the laws governing it had always been and are still tougher than the GDPR.

I actually like that the EU is doing something, and I guess this is the best you get from a bureaucracy, but what it’s changed is that we document everything. Whenever I build anything that moves privacy data, even if it’s just hooking up a new system to our ADFS which accesses employee names, I need to fill out 4 forms and write a risk assessment. It all goes somewhere I suppose, I’m not sure because once I file them I never hear anything about it unless my wording wasn’t good enough.

As far as security goes, it hasn’t actually changed anything. I guess it does if you weren’t taking security very serious before, but the idea that we as developers will think about security first or design better systems if a bunch of lawyers force us to fill out forms and write essays on what can go wrong... I just can’t wrap my head about why anyone would actually believe that stuff.

Like I said, it’s a great idea, on paper, but the bureaucracy that is enforcing it is just so clueless. Passing inspections is more about having the right answers and documentation than having actual security, so it’s no wonder that the outcome is full of mixed signals and weird enforcement.

Still better than nothing, in my opinion, and it’ll probably get better with time.
I will definitely try to keep this up running for the longer term. Also I have not planned to make this monetary and keep it free from advertisement. I know initially things are slow, but I have jumped in to the game with long commitment. Also the source code is completely written by me and the motivation was to learn spring boot. I have not copied it :)

The restaurant can sue you for libel.

The restaurant can sue all of the other users for libel, and if it's a coordinated effort or the apparent facts behind each libelous act are sufficiently similar, they can get them joined into a class action imposing joint and several liability imposed on the named defendants (i.e. the few they are able to reasonably identify), meaning that it is now the named defendants' responsibility to find the other users if they want to avoid paying the full damages out of their own pockets.

Only accounts with a large reach get fact checked. Unfortunately, leftist lunatics don't have the same reach as him, so they aren't ever going to get fact checked. (Just banned for violating the TOS.)

Edit: Don't understand the sentiment. Are there any radical left accounts with as much reach as the POTUS, that engage in similar behaviour that I am not aware of? If they exist, they should be trivial to link to. Looking at the top Twitter accounts, they consist of Barack Obama, YouTube, Modi, Bill Gates and a bunch of celebrities. Are any of those folks radical left? Will Lady Gaga or Katy Perry be opening the 2021 Superbowl halftime with "Internationale?"
> Note that hunter-gathers didn't just eat meat, they almost certainly ate berries and fruits (both of which contain sugars and are thus excluded from Keto diets).

One can safely eat berries and fruits on Keto, just not too much of them. It's entirely possible that those hunter-gatherers were in ketosis even if they sometimes at berries and possibly other fruit. Not to mention fruit wouldn't have been available all year, which means they were likely in ketosis for most of the year.

> by definition the goal is to place your body into ketosis

You say that like ketosis is somehow a strange state for your body to be in. But given that fat is a more efficient fuel source for your cells, it seems that ketosis might be the normal state for your body to be in, and running on carbs the uncommon state.

> but I wouldn't call removing an entire class of macronutrients "balanced".

You're not necessarily removing it, you're reducing it so that it's no longer your primary fuel source. It's also the only macronutrient humans can survive without consuming. Gluconeogenesis provides enough glucose for the parts of your body that require it, and everything else runs on fat, which is more efficient than using sugar.

> Rice has been a food staple in Asia for the vast majority of human history (having been domesticated in at least the Neolithic Period). And bread has existed in the Middle East and Europe for even longer.

Human evolution is much much longer than human history, which is just a blip in comparison.
I fly WWII combat flight simulators (mostly the IL2 Sturmovik series) and there is some very serious research going on both by the developers and by the community. Many of the people that fly these sims are serious enthusiasts, and a scant few even have direct experience restoring warbirds and fabricating parts from vintage drawings.

AutoCAD has a web version. I wouldn't be surprised to see an Electron version sometime. (One wonders how feature complete it would be though.)

In any case, I personally embrace Electron due to its development value. I can use the same codebase on all platforms, using technologies that my colleagues and I are already very familiar with (TypeScript/React/etc), with a supporting cast of a mind-shatteringly large ecosystem of FOSS packages. The speed at which I can turn out features in Electron just vastly outpaces anything else we've worked with. And that seems to be worth more to users than the 200MB footprint.

Regarding general change in music in the US over time, this study looked at ~50 years of US pop songs and found changes. I wonder about the rate of other countries pop song subject change is?

See link: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/03057356177482...

"As in 1960, the predominant topic of pop music remains romantic and sexual relationships. However, whereas the proportion of lyrics referring to relationships in romantic terms remained stable, the proportion including reference to sex-related aspects of relationships increased sharply.

"References to lifestyle issues such as dancing, alcohol and drugs, and status/wealth increased substantially, particularly in the 2000s. Other themes were far less frequent: Social/political issues, religion/God, race/ethnicity, personal identity, family, friends showed a modest occurrence in top-40 music throughout the studied period and showed no dramatic changes.

"Violence and death occurred in a small number of songs, and both increased, particularly since the 1990s. References to hate/hostility, suicide, and occult matters were very rare. Results are examined in the context of cultural changes in the social position of adolescents, and more specifically in light of the increased popularity of rap/hip-hop music, which may explain the increases in references to sex, partying, dancing, drug use, and wealth.
Not sure if the story has fully made the rounds, but there was a whole panic during all this rioting about a kidnapping that took place. The police had just fled from the police station, and suddenly the same people who were burning down the station were desperately trying to contact the police to save a kidnapping victim.

We absolutely need to reform the police, but I really can't understand people who think we should abolish them. What is your plan to handle these situations?

My conclusion is that HN's default search results are not very good for checking if something has already been submitted. Searching for "twitter" doesn't show any of these submissions, presumably because the default search shows only "popular" submissions.

Being the lions’ share geographically means nothing out of context. HK Island is the urban and financial center of Hong Kong, so saying that it would never have survived with NT ceded to the PRC is like saying Manhattan and Brooklyn would never have survived being ceded to the UK because they didn’t hold New Jersey. Sure, it’s impractical to have a hostile mainland neighbor but if the place you’re occupying is one of the worlds largest harbors with all that entails, and you have the military capacity and will to defend it, it’s far from “untenable”. The main reason HK was ceded at all was because of the total decline of the British Empire, it’s not much more complicated than that.

Trump isn't moving to Facebook, regardless of Zuck's attempt to pandering to his childish outbursts. Twitter is precisely suited to Trump's micro-tantrum thoughts, where Facebook is orthogonal. I would argue that the brevity of Twitter, and the adversarial nature of it, made Trump and the imbecile-right (e.g. not conservative -- it's a bunch of flag wavers who have close to zero political lean of knowledge...they just want to hate).

P.S. I know this comment is auto-dead, and that's okay.

You seem to be arguing throughout this thread that the President's comment is akin to saying "red sky at morning, sailors take warning." As if he's predicting a rain storm. But he's not just some guy at the marina, he's the President. It's also useful to look at what he isn't saying. He isn't calling for an investigation into the death or the lack of prosecution or the racial divide in the country or acknowledging the rage and anger of the non-white community that keeps being treated differently from the white community. His followers will hear this statement, "when the looting starts the shooting starts" as a dog whistle call "it's OK to start shooting." Or further, "I expect you to put this slave revolt down."
Which is violence: Doxing, or using the information to call in a swat team? If the swatting occured, it was the Doxing which directly led to it. It's a loaded gun.
I think my comment has already acknowledged that.
This is basically doing what compiler engineers call peephole optimization: optimizing small windows of code, which is a standard part of the optimizer pipeline.

One advantage of peephole optimization is that pretty much all code is amenable to it, so it doesn't rely on their being one key, hot loop to optimize to see performance gains. The main disadvantage is that gains in peephole optimization tend to be quite small, so you're combing for single-digit percentage speedups.
I'm happy to see this as the top post on Hacker News, though would wonder if anyone would be able to provide me with a summary of the article since $399 is a bit steep for me (as in, I can afford it, but it's obviously WAY too much for what's promised by the title).

I'd also be interested in case anyone has any thoughts on what the short or long-term outcome of the situation would be. Come to think of it, I'd like it if someone could give me a rough outline of GDPR at all.

I'm a software developer working in Britain, and I reckon the local consequences are "the lawyers make lots of money", but am always keen to hear other viewpoints.
In certain areas contractors earn good money, at times more then FTE. Like $300+ an hour and much higher.

With that pay comes the risk of a less strong connection to the company. Which is expected and wanted by many contractors.

Of course, this is for everyone, and not everyone does it voluntary - not getting a gig during the current situation can suck badly.

> Police == violence, we might want to pretend that's not true, but it is.

I disagree, and point to a distinction that I learned from an essay of Christopher Hitchens. He described this as (paraphrasing) the distinction from the worldview of Hobbes versus the worldview of Locke.

Hobbes was of course the author of Leviathan, which viewed strong government as the barrier between an ordered society and a brutal state of nature ("the war of all against all"). Entrust a monarch with very strong authority, because the alternative is civil war at all levels of society.

Locke, writing somewhat later, advocated for separation of powers and constraints on the power of the state in general. In particular, the need for the entire state, including a possible monarch, to follow the law.

So, I would argue that the function of the police is to enforce laws, which are arrived at by a social negotiation, and that equating police with violence is mistaken. The threat of police violence is not what holds people in check. Rather, people are held in check by their recognition of the value of the system of justice and laws.

This viewpoint can explain why people have such a strong reaction to police who break that social contract.
I grew up in an okay neighborhood abutting a bad neighborhood (in the 80s and 90s the sounds of automatic gunfire were noteworthy but all too common). We didn't lock our doors (car or house) and 30 years bygone, somebody's car finally got broken into a couple of years ago.

The going logic is that the gang violence was isolated to their turf, and the property crime happened in the rich neighborhood on the other side of the housing projects. So there's sweet spots out there.

The link you've characterized as an admission discusses internal bias, and doesn't say anything about bias in moderating.
The majority of these aren't actually compliant.

Tracking should be opt-in and consent should be freely given. If your notice is annoying enough that most people click accept (or if clicking decline is harder) then you are already in breach.

A lot of websites also consider analytics cookies as essential and don't provide a way to decline those which isn't compliant either.

These websites can be detected very easily by running a web scraper and looking for one of these non-compliant "consent management" solutions (looking at you TrustArc) and fining every single company that uses it.
Boycotting a vote is nonsense. If you want to have your voice heard, then vote. They were just trying to undermine the voting process because they knew they would lose.
Yes, double standard to protect Trump. Who has for years twitted violent stuff, racist stuff, and Twitter had let it slide. I don't get this weird victim mentality of Trump folks. Trump has been treated with kid gloves by Twitter. Meanwhile, the largest broadcast network is literally Trump's state media.
Yes to both, and doing so also makes it non-free per the FSF. Here's what they say about the Anti-996 license [1], as well as about this concept in general [2].

Caveat to the second point: while it is indeed incompatible with copyleft licenses like the GPL, pushover licenses like the MIT license unfortunately are compatible with it, so there probably will be some degree of proliferation of that sort of thing.

> we find that civilian complaints of major crimes (such as burglary, felony assault and grand larceny) decreased during and shortly after sharp reductions in proactive policing

This is based on a pay-walled article that would be interesting to read. One major question that is unanswered in the abstract is whether a reduction in complaints is a useful correlate for reduction in crime. That is just something I don't anything about.

Another question, that I would bet is answered in the article, is if civilian complaints of petty crimes increased or decreased after reductions in proactive policing.

Lastly, the results suggest that proactive policing may not deter major crimes as it is meant to. Do the authers (or others) think this is because proactive policing causes an increase in major crime? Or does it just distract police from major crime? Or is it something else entirely?
If the contractor does the job well but can't pass the usual interview, then either the contractor got unlucky or the interview process is broken. If the interview process is broken, then I should fix it for everyone, not make a one-time exception (e.g., realize that my front-end developer doesn't actually need to know how to balance binary trees on the whiteboard or whatever).

That leaves the possibility that the contractor was unlucky, since even the best interview process will generate some false rejects. I believe the extra familiarity that a quasi-internal candidate has with the group's work (and thus the kind of stuff we're likely to ask) should more than offset that, though.
