"I don't think that I could do it. Do you think that you could?"

This is a misunderstanding.

'Hit songs' are like 'viral videos'.

Could you create a video, that by accident, went viral? Possibly. If you set your mind to it, there would be a better chance, but still no guaranteed.

Nobody writes what they think will be guaranteed to be a hit song except for Max Martin. People 'make songs' and then hustle and market - some go viral, some require more support.

The 'barrier to making a song' is considerably lower than it was 20 years ago, and much lower than 40 years ago.

Making an album in 1985:

- Spend years learning to play an instrument
- Learn to write music, lyrics that are least on some level passable.
- Find other musicians
- Practice for a while
- Rent a major studio, producers, engineers
- Master
- Market etc..

The barrier to entry was high, the people pulling the strings generally wanted to see 'talent' in some form: entertainment, musicianship, popularity.

Many acts were manufactured, but that process still had to be followed:

Making music in 2020:

- Some music (Ariana Grande) is made roughly the same way (though with more people, different release cycles, margins etc) but it's comparable.

- A lot of music is made in tiny little studios. Mac Miller was always a tiny production, he made and produced stuff often in his basement, due to the power of tech and simplicity ultimately of what he was making.

Mac, and many other small artists are talented, so in some ways the 'low barrier' is good - but - for every Mac Miller there are 1000x fools.

>>>> It is as easy to make a song as it is to make a little video animation. Some of those video animations will go viral and get big.

- This 'basic approach' can be made by people with big creative talent, I guess Drake would be an example. Drake doesn't make his music or write his lyrics. Think of Drake as the 'head of a fashion label' but this label is not clothes, it's music. What Drake obviously has is 'really good taste'. Drake, is the 'art Director' of Drake Inc.. What is required to make a Drake track is very minimal, but there's creative talent ... much like making a marketing video.

- In the middle, and even with some of the more 'respectable pop artist names' like Ariana Grande, Dua Lipo ... you still have quite a lot of production and commodification, which turns out really generic, boring, derivative, music.

'Jazz', however popular, nor not, or controversial it was - is going to be around for hundreds of years, because there's an intense amount of creative legitimacy in it. Jazz musicians love Jazz for the sake of Jazz, they are amazing. It's very pure in that sense.

The origins of Hip Hop are really authentic, which helped it rise to the fore. Some aspects of HipHop are going to be around for a while.

The flavour of 2020 will not be around in 2 years.

> Because shooting looters is disproportionate

Debatable

> You arrest them and charge them for burglary, and then determine mitigating factors

This is not possible to be done in scale in a mass-looting situation.

> The looters aren't shooting people

The looters are looting while using the threat of violence.

> As for why it is bad to kill someone that isn't a killer, we have to go back to general moral philosophy and common law

You say that as if it is some form of universal truth. I do not share your personal morals regarding this.

> Yes, in times of mass-looting, it would be better to have a functional police system that would be able to arrest, charge for burglary, and then determine mitigating factors by looking at the overall context

Certainly, but my argument is that no police force on the planet would be able to handle mass-looting in scale and in the way that you propose. This is like saying "just stop putting bugs in your code".
Anyway, this whole thread is about trump saying that he will send the military if the governor is not able to handle it his own way - which is likely similar to the way that you are proposing.

> the aim is to re-assert control in a non-escalatory fashion

How are you planing to do that? Especially in a way that has the least amount of looting happen.
The only reason housecats aren't at the top of the list is that they are so small.
Absolutely, I am someone who always reads comments (yes, even on YouTube) because they often serve as a poor man's fact check. However, Twitter apparently has plans to sabotage that: https://9to5mac.com/2020/01/08/twitter-limit-replies-feature...

I'm confused - people usually love it when I give them unsolicited and lengthy reviews of their work, framed in a way they didn't intend it to be, but that lets me roleplay as someone who has authority on the matter and is talking down to them?
Amusingly it looks like Twitter's report system contradicts the hiding by saying there's nothing wrong with the tweet:

President Trump has also clarified his remarks, which is a welcome move.

We have zero context for why they were being detained. We can assume they did nothing wrong, but it's just an assumption. It would be great if CNN released the video that preceded the detainment.
I can more easily change grocery stores than I am able to change colleges. Credits aren't often 100% transferable, also a degree from another school may be less valuable but also less costly, therefore the money I already spent on the more expensive degree may be lost.
Lambda also provides this functionality — they call it "provisioned concurrency": https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-c...
So why do they forward those emails to someone in the first place? Especially to those who don’t want them? You’re pretty much suggesting that “helping others spamming people isn’t spamming”
Agreed, it was not an accident. He hired Miller and Gorka. Also not by accident. Gorka left after Bannon, but Stephen Miller is pretty knowledgable as well as open about his views on race and fascism, and often seems involved in messaging strategy.

This.

Keeping a warehouse full of water bottles and generators doesn't cost much more than the interest on the capital costs. Ie. A few percent per annum.

If an emergency occurs more often than once every ~40 years, and you can sell for double the price, you walk away with a profit, and you seriously help a lot of people.

I think we just keep going back to the same issue -- people agree that administration is too big. But if you break it down to actual positions or administrative units, it's not clear there is any agreement. There is no such thing as "right cuts" because that implies it's clear which parts of administration should be cut.

Same with government. Government waste is bad? Of course! Trim unnecessary government spending and pork barrel? Yes!! And which branches and positions should we cut? The Right Ones!! [cue nothing actually happens]

Part of the problem with the GDPR is that although many people believe that what you wrote is roughly what the GDPR says and although much of what you wrote is probably more true than not, almost nothing there is strictly correct and in a few places it is wildly misleading. It's not just about collection of data but also about how you process it. Consent is only one of several possible lawful bases for processing, and in practice it's one that many experts have advised against relying on any more than necessary. The right to erasure is actually quite limited in scope. There are multiple mechanisms by which data may be legally shared with other parties, and there's a whole controller/processor system you haven't touched on in relation to that. There are grey areas and ambiguities all over the place, and there are widespread misunderstandings even on points where the GDPR itself is reasonably clear, not helped by media reports often getting the facts wrong themselves around two years ago.
For a mostly empty flight? A lot.
Pet peeve alert: not distinguishing between "IEEE-754 type" and "real number".

> System.out.println(5.1+9.2);

> We ask to add 5.1 to 9.2. The result should be 14.3, but we get the following instead: 14.299999999999999

That's misleading. You put the characters "5.1" in a Java source file, which in Java (like many languages) means "the IEEE-754 64-bit binary floating point value closest to the decimal number 5.1". It's not equal to the real number 5.1. 9.2 and 14.3 can't be represented exactly in binary floating point, either.

The number 5.1 + the number 9.2 should be the number 14.3.

The Java double 5.1 + the Java double 9.2 should not be the Java double represented by 14.3.

The addition isn't really what's hurting you. The representation is. You're confusing the matter by changing type systems in the middle of a sentence.

> It is a small difference (only 0.000000000000001), but it is still wrong.

The answer is "wrong" in large part because the question was wrong. The error in IEEE-754 "14.3" is only slightly smaller than the error in "5.1+9.2".

The sum looks more wrong than the literal "14.3" because Java's Double toString() truncates its output according to some specific rules [1] designed to guess how those 64 bits got there.

> CPUs are poor at dealing with floating-point values. Arithmetics are almost always wrong

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say they're "wrong" at addition 50% of the time? You picked two numbers whose IEEE-754 representation are both just below their actual value, and whose sum is just above its IEEE-754 representation. Had you added "5.1+5.2" (which happen to be just below and just above their actual values, respectively), the representation errors would have cancelled, and you'd have gotten "10.3" as you expect.

People are choosing to give him plausible deniability because he's white. If Obama sent a tweet calling for Republicans to die, all politicians whether Democrat or Republican would forcefully condemn him.

He's really not a mastermind genius playing 4-D Chess. He is openly calling for violence, and has already inspired terrorists to mail bombs to prominent politicians, and people are choosing to play dumb about how evil he is.
I'm afraid not. I haven't seen anything other than PureDarwin that runs at all modern versions of Darwin. A Hackintosh on a relatively basic system (integrated graphics, nothing strange that isn't in an actual Mac) might be the easiest way for you to do this, although you'll still have to deal with the other things you mentioned.
reminds me of a time someone with my very uncommon last name and same first initial had signed up for skipthedishes.com with my [first initial] [last name]@gmail.com and started ordering takeout from various places local to them, halfway across the country. the website doesn't send a validation email when creating an account. this went on for months, getting a food order confirmation email with no charges on my credit card. finally I got so annoyed that I reset the password, logged in and found their cell number. I sent a polite text message describing what happened, assured that the website obscured credit card details properly and that they should change the password from [generic password].
> What gouging does in an emergency is allocate the needed supplies to where they are needed the most

This statement is disconnected from reality.

The concept you're thinking of is that the supplies will go to the people who will pay the most for them.

Who will pay the most for them is unrelated to who needs them the most. It has more to do with who has disposable income.

If everybody is panicking, then the goods go to the panicking people who have the most disposable income. This has absolutely nothing at all to do with where the goods are most needed.

E.g. the ultra wealthy can easily outbid hospitals for PPE. You are free to argue that the ultra wealthy need PPE more than hospitals, but it's going to be a hard sell.
It's not a huge leap from "we have systemic problems" to "both sides are equally to blame", and the latter is too often used as an excuse for bad behavior.

They don't eat as much rice as you would think as a proportion of calories. Rice portions in most asian cultures can fit in the palm of your hand typically. Lots of veggies, fish and meats too.

While americans typically have a much higher proportion of food as carbs & fat vs protein & veggies.
For my undergrad thesis I studied “Fibinary”, or Fibonacci coding. You can think of it like “base phi”, using Fibonacci numbers as the place values, and only 0,1.

The “normalized” representation, called Zeckendorf representation, perfectly packs error correction into the binary, as it ensures no number will ever have consecutive ones.

It also has applications in data compression.

For me, and many others: infrastructure as code.

Kubernetes is very complex and took a long time to learn properly. And there have been fires among the way. I plan to write extensively on my blog about it.

But at the end of the day: having my entire application stack as YAML files, fully reproducible [1] is invaluable. Even cron jobs.

Note: I don't use micro services, service meshes, or any fancy stuff. Just a plain ol' Django monolith.

Maybe there's room for a simpler IAC solution out there. Swarm looked promising then fizzled. But right now the leader is k8s[2] and for that alone it's worth it.

Attacking police officers (or really anyone, at all) shouldn't be encouraged, in my opinion. Ever.

Is an eye-for-an-eye the type of justice that's needed? I don't like it.

These are actual quotes:

"Fuck police, shoot the pigs!"
"Innocents are gonna die"
"This is just the start, you ready? You ready?"
"We're going to burn this fucker down"
"Kill the white folks! Kill whitey!"

Whatever. I've been labeled racist for not wanting to watch my city burn. Can't we have justice without violence?
So, more expensive, slower, and less convenient. You are basically buying from your local bookstore for charitable reasons only.

It makes me really uncomfortable. Bookstores are businesses, subject to the market, they should be able to make money by their own merit.

I can only see these solutions:

- They will disappear, not a pleasant outcome, but it is not the first time such a thing happen. Movie rental stores suffered this fate for instance.

- They become public or subsidized in some way. I don't expect this to happen in the USA.

- They find some way of staying competitive. The way it is usually done is by creating local communities and events. Maybe host a variety of nerdy activities, like tabletop roleplaying. But they can also focus on the used market, or partner with schools to offer convenient "school year" packages, which could possibly also include used books.

While I think suffering in order to support local businesses is a noble thing to do, it is not sustainable, "pissing in the ocean" as you say. I am curious to know if there are local bookstores that managed to be successful against Amazon, and how they did it.
I'm in California. In our state, it's part of the Vehicle Code, but courts regularly construe it as applying anywhere in public. I have personal knowledge, unfortunately, that violating the California Vehicle Code is in many cases a criminal and not civil matter. The statute doesn't include any qualifier that the order be lawful. I suspect that "and was performing his duties" is meant to cover that question, representing a legal fiction that cops would never issue an unlawful order.

For those who are interested in reading beyond Galpern, some other relevant classic cases are Terry v. Ohio and People v. Cohen.

When I visit a news site, to read an article, I get a video that scrolls along with me and autoplays. So I disable video autoplay.

This breaks some video conferencing apps. It's a choice I have to make - some broken apps or a bunch of annoying websites.

Some websites use my cookies and localstorage to track me across properties. They do this so they can harvest my profile data and habits and sell them for profit without my permission.

Again, it's a choice and I think it's a fair one to make.

As engineers, we don't exist to punish our users for making choices different from ours. That's a great way to end up without any users. We should make their experience as good as we can and give them value. Sometimes that isn't possible - I can't make a video conference app that's immune to blocking autoplay. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
Gosh, at my next union meeting I should remember to ask for barriers to being arrested. That's a thing, right?
Yup, even monoliths can benefit from certain k8s tooling (HPAs, batch jobs, etc).
First, looting doesn't imply imminent harm or threat to someone. Majority of looting involves destruction of property but not harm or death to people. If you think someone should be shot because they stole / destroyed some property, then I don't know what to tell you.

Second, we're not talking about individuals protecting themselves or their property. We're talking about the police / military shooting looters, and again not specifically in protecting themselves or others from harm.

Third, this is calling for summary judgement and execution without trial. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

I think it is entirely different to handle reports of misdemeanors by the public with integrity and to attempt to catch misdemeanors in progress with active surveillance.

My entire point of my facebook comment is that GDPR gave us nothing, and people paid by losing news site and lawyer salaries.

It is definitely true as to maps; terrestrial maps include streets that don't actually exist. (Nautical maps don't do this.)

I haven't heard of it for phone books, but it could be true.
The point you're ignoring in your haste to indict everyone you don't like - due to what I suspect to be your complete ignorance of, or at least disinterest in, the millions of dollars annually spent on research aimed at eradicating malaria worldwide by the very same "West" for which you cannot find enough opprobrium - is that we can't know what consequences will come of these kinds of broad, blunt methods.

Nobody expected DDT to drive large birds of prey nearly to extinction. Nobody expected neonicotinoids to concentrate in ecosystems and have a very similar effect on the insects we depend on to pollinate our food crops. It's not about predicting that terrible things will happen. It's that we aren't able to make sure terrible things won't. Neonicotinoids already have us at non-negligible risk of worldwide famine through agricultural collapse as a result of consequences we were too stupid and too hubristic to predict. How many millions do you think that will kill if it happens?

Because that's the kind of risk you're proposing - and, just as with that famine, it's a risk that will hit worst on the most vulnerable, least privileged people in the world. You know? The same ones in whose supposed defense you're making such a performative display of contempt?
