1) Despite your preamble, this is the only linked instance actually from the last day: Unknown persons tagged DC structures during the protest, with the same single person spraying messages on the WWII and Lincoln memorials.

2) Memorial Day: Unknown persons damaged two stones on a monument to Puerto Rican veterans for an unknown reason.

3) Memorial Day: Unknown persons painted an obscure reference to Peruvian communists on an unrelated WWI memorial.

4) This is the same news as (1).

5) May 4: Unknown persons tagged the wrong monument for not counting soldiers of color.

6) February 8: A counterdemonstration against a KKK rally (not mentioned as such in this Fox News article) found itself aimless when the Klan was intimidated by them into late-canceling, with some becoming restless and opportunistically tagging.

This is clearly a desperate search through Google News looking for any vandalism of war memorials other than the high profile reported ones you obviously had to make an effort to exclude (because you definitely didn't want to mention them now), blaming them all on "antifa" even where literally nothing is known about the vandals or their motives and concluding with "this is all you need to know."
> You say violence is violence, yet I bet you have no problem with criminals being put in jail, i.e. their freedoms being violently removed from them.

When you commit a crime and violate someone's freemdoms (the primary being right to life, liberty, property), you forfeit your own. When you kill someone and take their life, you steal or destroy property, you are now in debt to society. By living in a society you agree to its rules and when the rules are broken a price must be paid to deter others from breaking them.

Just because someone broke the rules, doesn't mean that everyone else gets to. The police officer was in the wrong. He was arrested, and charged. He will pay for what he did.

Be the change you want to see. Protest in a way that doesn't harm others. Many lost business and their livelihoods due to the destruction. What did they do to deserve that?

2 out 4 people I know who owns Tesla boast about Autopilot, and think they can do everything other than focussing on the road. One knows very well that Autopilot is marketing bullshit. 4th person wants to believe in Autopilot, but hasn't trusted the system after looking at the aftermath of horrible crash on 101 in the bay area.

Tesla is definitely not making any effort to not misled people, and there are enough tech-bros who are willing to fall for any bullshit in the name of technology.

No. The Gandhi movie termed that, "An eye for an eye, making the whole world blind."

How about we condemn evil, and try to make sure there's less evil in the world? Just because you say you're fighting evil, that doesn't nominate you to commit evil, especially if it's in the name of others without their consent. Especially if it's so you can coerce others into seeing things your particular way.

Isn't that what sparked the protests in the first place? Someone who committed evil, in the name of fighting evil?

This is my experience as well, and that also is the conclusion drawn from this article we're all commenting on as well lol.
Even with adblocking it downloads 30 MB almost instantly, and while typing this reply it's now up to 48 MB. Oh wait, it's at 50 now. It keeps going up.

Looking at the requests it seems to be downloading a video from Cloudfront. And yes, in the middle of the page there is a video playing. I'm sure people with metered connections will love that.

That said, with adblocking at least the design looks clean enough. I'm willing to bet that this is what their designers see, and then another team adds all ad overlays on top of the existing design.
That would still be a biased data. Minority populations are often disproportionately targeted for similar crimes.

Cryptopals strikes me as a very good way of scaring people from not only inventing, but also implementing their own crypto.

Now that's very useful.

The real way to learn cryptography is to go through the National Cryptologic School at the National Security Agency in Maryland. They used to start everyone out with paper and pencil cryptanalysis. They classically emphasized that most cyphers are broken because someone made an error in key management. (See Venona). That's probably still the case.

"No new cypher is worth looking at unless it comes from someone who has already broken a very hard one" - Friedman.
Agreed, the worst is after you restart Firefox and have dozens of tabs from the same site open (like reddit or HN) and each one of them requests your master password over and over until you reject each tab's plea for you to authenticate or finally give into the software you're supposed to be in control of.

If anyone at Mozilla is reading this, please fix this, it's incredibly obnoxious. I'd also appreciate it if you styled your master password prompt better than a javascript alert dialog so I know I'm typing in my most valuable password in the world into the browser and not some site pretending to be you.
Roam looks neat. I wonder if anyone has tips on how one could use org-mode to achieve some similar results?
Thanks! No plan at the moment. The frontend is not very interesting. The backend is basically a "giant" database with all the events. I think the interesting part would be the way I collected the events, with a language model.
As I read it, the Posse Comitatus Act limits the scope of the Insurrection Act. Also:

"The general purpose of the Insurrection Act is to limit presidential power, relying on state and local governments for initial response in the event of insurrection. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of the United States Army and Air Force (which has also been extended by executive direction to the Navy) for routine law enforcement."

What that statistic shows is that even if some white people can't bring themselves to get angry about police murdering black people they should at least be angry about police also murdering white people.

What that statistic definitely doesn't mean is that people shouldn't be angry about police murdering black people.
But this suit alleges that even when they were, it was illegal.

What I tell my mom, who also drives a Tesla with AP, “If the AP isn’t driving better than you could at that very moment, if you think ‘Oh I’d rather be just a bit further over there’ - that’s when you disengage it. Don’t wait to see what will happen next.”

Turns out that driving is 99.9% utter monotony and AP actually drives better than me during all that time.

Here's an idea, for whatever it's worth: Address the incentive to riot instead of attempting to assign full control and liability to one element over another.

For all the obvious, on-the-nose proof that reactive states differ from proactive states, I find it very odd that people are still folding their arms and brandishing smug expressions for their equivalently useless ideas as soon as someone else's idea yields a critical failure.

Critical thinking is not an art, nor a science, nor difficult. It just requires someone to maintain a consistent curiosity and skepticism for the utility of information. If someone tells you cats climb trees, you should automatically think, Not all cats can climb trees and How useful is this to me?. And if you have a cat, you might sequentially think, Do I have any trees that my cat could climb? and How much of a tree should I trim to prevent my cat from climbing it? and maybe Do I have a way to retrieve my cat from one of my trees? and so on and so forth. So, someone please explain why, given the seriousness everyone attributes to the lockdowns, to police brutality, etc. Just... why are you doing the equivalent of hearing that cats can climb trees, and then you think, My cat would never climb my trees, because my trees aren't cat-climbable trees, so that makes my cat, my trees and myself better than other cats, trees, and cat owners?
(Disclaimer: previously worked at Google search)

I think some commenters are attributing to Google an ulterior motive, whether ill- or good-intentioned, separate from its core business. But in this case no such motivation is necessary.

Basically, Google wants its users to be satisfied - otherwise it will lose to, say, Bing. So it measures user satisfaction - e.g., if a user clicks on a Google result, and immediately hits back button in three seconds, it's a strong signal that the user was not satisfied. And Google tries very hard to increase this "user satisfaction" (and other similar metrics), because not only does it help Google's business, but it also improves the service itself.

And, guess what? When a page takes fifteen seconds to load, lots of people hits the back (or close) button. Showing such a page is giving the user a bad experience. Unless there's literally no alternatives, it makes sense for Google to "penalize" such a page.

Of course no metric is perfect, so it will occasionally backfire and penalize a great page that takes thirty seconds to load. But that's life.

It is because they are lying. They are trying to obfuscate the truth to hide a racist agenda.
I highly recommend checking out Trevor Noah's recent video on the protests - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb4Bg8mu2aM

He mentions how society is at its core a contract on how to engage with one another. Everything we do is in some form conforming to that contract and when this contract is violated (like the stores being looted and vandalized), it angers you.

However, to the people who're really affected by this issue at the very bottom of the society - they feel they're being ripped off in the contract and are being cheated every single day. After a breaking point they can feel like they don't really have to adhere to the contract anymore themselves when no one else sticks to it in their oppressed world.

PS - Please note, he's obviously not justifying the lootings, mainly tries to make sense of it and how we got to where we are right now.

I run this on my forms. I include a hard to follow disclaimer that says your entries are saved in real time "for your convenience"

It freaks people out when we reach out on the partial fill, but since I sell lead generation, it's a nice trick that they appreciate.

I see. For a regular gas car, the 4 miles per kWh is wildly optimistic -- 134 miles per gallon. The kWh per mile (just from tank to wheels) would be something like 4 times higher than that. (1 kWh per mile = 33 miles per gallon). So that 8.5 kWh per day from manufacturing would be on top of something like 41 kWh per day of driving, not the 10.3 from the post up there.
This is just false though. Sometimes violence is all you have left. Without violence, we wouldn't be a country. Without violence a black person would still be worth 3/5 of a white person. History shows us that violence is sometimes necessary. We arm police specifically because violence is sometimes required.
It’s a different link? I’m not sure what it is you are saying. They are not duplicate articles as they are different urls, different sections (this is a technology post from CNBC), and different editorial teams. I’m open to discussing this link with you further.
I like to share this video with critics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfi3Ndh3n-g to show how police have to be ready to go from 0 to 100 within seconds in order to not be killed.

No, I used both definitions. As you can clearly see I stated:

> Congratulations, you are now a hacker in every sense of the word:

> 1. You broke into computer systems.

> 2. You needed to be curious in order to do it.

There are multiple ways to get to 2. This is one of them. There are multiple ways to get to 1. This is one of them.

I simply leave it in the middle as to who gets to decide what the definition of a hacker is. I simply took both definitions that I know to be defined by hackers themselves (point 2) and the media/general public (point 1).

Subverting computer systems to let it do other things that you want is very very much a part of the definition of 2. Which is how breaking into computer systems and following your technical curiosity can overlap.

But I would totally agree with you that we'd live in a sad world if my path was the only way in which people became hackers.

Also note that Hacker News is on there as a bonus and if it wasn't as distracting as it is, then I'd put it there as mandatory. HN stimulates purely the curiosity part of hacking.
> I find it very odd that the police still cannot after all these years and with all development in surveillance tech distinguish between peaceful demonstrators and rioters. One could almost believe that they have no interest in making that distinction.

I have been in the middle of protests when I worked for Reuters and the difference between peaceful and violent is very tiny. I was in the no-man’s land between the KKK and the New Black Panthers in the wake of the James Byrd Jr. lynching and it went from frenetic but peaceful to riot in 8.3 seconds. Actual combat is a a lot less ambiguous and disorienting. Not defending police or condemning them, but when an airborne brick heads your way, it’s a pretty tall order to expect immediate and accurate identification of friend or foe.

It is fascinating to me how left wing protests seem to frequently degrade into violence. Recent case in point was the reopen protesters. I don’t think a single shot was fired by the crowd, nor were any buildings burned or looted. The Charlottesville, VA protest by the extreme right wing however is a counterexample — but it’s an exception that proves the rule. The Tea Party protests were never violent. In almost every large-scale protest that has left and extreme left wing elements, looting, fires, and violence is a foregone conclusion. It’s historical record.

It’s really tragic because pretty much all Americans were outraged about Floyd’s death, but as soon as looting, fires, and violence starts, then a large portion of the population now starts discussing and being angry about that rather than the core issue.

You don't understand the power the government can wield if there is "justification" for it. The only way to have the government serve us instead of control us is to be loud, in the majority, and peaceful. At least in a country like the US.

You are arguing a completely different point than your parent/thread.

You are saying "there exist police departments which are friendly with the protesters".

The thread you are replying to isn't talking about protests; it's discussing the absence of evidence where police officers actively intervened and stopped the excessive use of force by a fellow officer.

In the USA, a civilian doesn't have the right to defend themselves from an officer under any circumstances in most states. A very few states allow you to shoot to defend yourself (even from officers who don't present themselves as officers) under very narrow circumstances. Any way you cut it, police are given benefit of the doubt when interacting with suspects but the cheaper internet-connected cameras get, the more evidence that we should probably revisit that long-held doctrine.
The use of AT&T syntax here is unfortunate. When the processor documentation and every single other toolchain out there uses a different syntax, you should use that syntax too.

The Long Game #2: Centenarian Olympics, Normalcy Bias, M.J, Walks, Irrationality
Police brutality is a systemic issue. Peaceful protest over the years haven't changed the system. Charging that one officer doesn't solve it either.

The Police reaction to these protests clearly shows systemic reform is needed. Peaceful protesters and reporters have been tear gassed, shot, and arrested. They don't deserve to be tret like that just because others decided to vandalize and loot.
Definitely not excusing any behavior by the police. But if you lump all officers, departments, and cities together you are never going to get anywhere with reform.

I only have a vague idea what police officers make. Generally, I avoid begrudging anyone's salary.
A dordy affair, then?
> murdering black people with no consequences.

Can you elaborate? All four of the police officers were immediately fired. The primary officer that was kneeling on him was charged with murder and manslaughter and will go to prison. Likely charges will be brought on the other three.
> A universal problem with "leaderless movements" is that they quickly devolve to the lowest common denominator level. Anyone can put out their slate and call themselves an "activist"...

I appreciate this part a lot. It helps me realize that movements also have brands they need to manage and have similar struggles to companies that are trying to manage brands at various levels of centralization—e.g., the challenge of maintaining brand alignment among distributed franchisees.

> A "leaderless movement" has all of the biomass of a huge national organization, but none of the immune system and command/control to counter such organized exploiters.

I wonder how well leaderless movements can create things. It seems as organizations and movements become less coordinated, less structured in how to resolve internal conflicts and align, that they would be more suited to attacking things or ideas, rather than building them.

Any thoughts on this?
There are many corners of this country that offer what you describe but they aren't on a map.
