Wow, "U.S. police have attacked journalists more than 120 times since May 28", that sounds serious! I'm sure there's actual data to back that up, let's take a look!

Hmm let's see here .. "—131 assaults (108 by police, 23 by others)". Oh wait, only 108 "assaults" by police. But the headline says over 120? Oh well, let's give them the benefit of the doubt, they're not being shady with numbers intentionally, I'm sure.

Now, let's see here, where's the data to back this up?

Oh, there it is! A publicly editable google docs spreadsheet which links to Twitter posts as evidence. None of the ones I looked at even had any video, just a random person saying they were assaulted in under 100 characters.

Oh wow, that's really solid. The same groups of people stirring up dissent and violence for political gain, are the same ones that can just say they were assaulted, with no proof other than their word.

And what's this? A journalist getting arrested counts as "assault"? What part of being arrested is assault?

If I go out and murder someone and I'm arrested, do I get to report that the cops assaulted me?

Man, this is some rock solid reporting right here! Time to destroy our country and riot in the street!
Mine can. (-: In fairness, so too can some of the others.
Huh, they completed a loop in time.
A complementary repo which would be interesting to make to give a more complete view of the situation is one listing the destructions, lootings and physical agression made by non-police forces.
I have a bunch of keyboards. My daily driver is a shitty Alps clone switch boardswith modified click leaves to provide better tactility. I understand going down the rabbit hole of building your own.

However: I want tactility, and with regards to tactility very few switches actually beat good rubber domes. Not rubber domes as in topre, just generally. The switches that do provide tactility (I would say that the matias switches are a good example) have been less reliable than a good rubber dome for a lot more money(at least outside matias' own keyboards).

Also, with a lot of these non-cherry switches I have found binding issues, and as we all know binding is the keyboard antichrist.

The only solution to getting a properly tactile switch I have found to be to buy increasingly expensive switches and build your own board, which I have no interest in whatsoever, or just buying a buckling spring board, where you will get a lovely 2KRO for non-modifier keys (unicomp is updating their process and releasing the "new model m" btw).

After all this, I don't understand the craze for mechanical keyboards. For linear boards there is really no good option, but for typists a good dome board (with slider) will be just as good and cost less than half as much.
No, it wouldn't require a constitutional amendment.

Not really. You shouldn't have to audit network traffic and de-compile an app before you can trust it.
Or so the captains of industry could strike break without fearing the same?

Just because you don't like the particular use case doesn't detract from the fact it is generally not desirable to be throwing around your military at your own people at the drop of a hat.

AirDrop is nice - I understand Apple’s business reasons for keeping it Apple-exclusive, but the lack of bog-standard Bluetooth file transfer in iOS is just being mean.
We knew years ago that the DEA has cameras all over the place. They do things like hide them in traffic control devices and read license plates with them. They analyze the traffic to look for drug mules and pass off tips to local police so they can execute parallel construction and hide the real source of the evidence. We all talked about it and, like most big brother shit, no one cared and we all moved on. Glad the kids are rediscovering it.

Are the courts powerless too? Can't citizens sue the government? I don't know how exactly the 3 powers work on US, but over here you can also petition courts (including the Supreme Court) to judge whether a given decree by the executive is inconstitutional or not. How does it work in the US?
I watched that video. You have clearly mastered the application of Newton's third law, by pointing out that when someone pushes you away with their hand, you are also pushing against their hand. We only disagree about whether it's correct to pepper spray someone in the face when this happens.
Ask HN: Does Y Combinator support Black Lives Matter?
Netflix recently stated on its Twitter account: “To be silent is to be complicit. Black lives matter. We have a platform, and we have a duty to our Black members, employees, creators and talent to speak up.”

Stripe: "Racism is antithetical to Stripe’s mission. We stand with the Black community against discrimination and police violence."

Google: "We stand in support of racial equality, and all those who search for it."

Amazon: "the inequitable and brutal treatment of African Americans in the U.S. must stop..."

Intel: "Standing on the sidelines is not an option. Today we are pledging $1 million in support of efforts to address social injustice and anti-racism. #blacklivesmatter"

Does YC? Do the views of members of the HN community reflect those of YC? These are honest questions intended to promote discussion.

I feel there's room for something in-between (reimplementation? resurrection?): start with a clean slate, and bringing in large swaths of functionality and code and then rebuilding other parts. I think this is useful when you have a lot of work to upgrade an older version of your core framework or many dependencies, you're changing a large piece of your infrastructure (like a database), or you have a lot of work to "fix" your test suite.

I think I am smart but I am lazy, and I have this unquenchable thirst for knowledge. I rabbit-hole into things and never completely finish a project that I start. I have so many abandoned GitHub repos that might have panned out if I had put focus and effort into them. So I think my lack of motivation and interest could be a factor in me not getting rich.

But I am happy with my 9-5 job that provides enough to take care of the people I love.

In Firefox: Options – Language and Appearance – Fonts and Colors – Advanced… – Disable “Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above”

It's what I've been using for months now (and I also block web fonts using Firefox Focus' extension in iOS/iPadOS Safari). And that's even though I'm a typography geek, and have bought fonts from Matthew Butterick (the author of the submitted article).

Looks weird for a day or two, after that you never miss web fonts.

Make sure to select a nice default font (for example, Verdana is nice, but I'm German, and Verdana does not have a closing quotation mark for German – it's another one than is in use in English).

My setting is Constantia as default font and serif, Segoe UI as sans-serif, and Consolas as monospace.
Hmmm would have expected you to say source or link, rather than citation, which makes me think of something else, but fair enough, don't mind me then
That's a lie and always has been. The South was strongly Democrat until after Reagan (who won 49 states by the way, and basically created the modern Republican party), well into the 90s, as evidenced by Clinton and Gore, both southern Democrats. Sorry, the attempt to pin the party "flip" on Civil rights is bogus.
interesting idea; I know prices for SaaS are hard to get right but somehow I find your pricepoint a bit too high because I feel most podcast uploaded to youtube always listen in the background
> Restaurants and mom and pop grocery stores/convenience stores are very low margin, super long hours, and stressful.

Sorry to hijack off of your comment - none of what I say is meant as a negative about you or your parents.

I've seen two types of people start these:

1. People from low income backgrounds who don't have many other options and don't have the means to gain good knowledge. I sympathize with them.

2. People who are somewhat wealthier (have a good degree, work for an engineering company, etc) who complain about how poorly people are running restaurants and how poor the food is and know for certain that they can run a restaurant that makes the food really well and everyone will come to their restaurant and business will be good. Very common for this to be about ethnic restaurants but doesn't need to be.

I have little sympathy for this group. They really should know better. I've talked to them about it before they put a huge chunk of their savings into starting a restaurant. They typically do no background research. They don't ask other business owners. They have no idea about the margins (hint - the other restaurants who make food poorly do it for an economic reason - not because they can't find good chefs).

Recently one of them opened a restaurant near my home. And their food was great - I would put it in the top 2 of their category in the city. But their prices were too high. Normally I order this type of food once in a while when I don't want to cook or am busy. But the price was beyond that threshold. I went there only when special friends visited me in town and took them there.

And not many people went there. The reviews everywhere (Yelp, etc) were awesome. But people didn't go there. Partly because of prices, but partly because of the location. Why did they pick that location? Because there's a big company in the neighborhood. Surely there are plenty of well paid people there who would come for lunch? Yes there are and no they won't. Over the years living there I know this plaza well. It's a graveyard for restaurants - most of them likely relying on employees of that company eating there. All these guys had to do was spend time in the restaurants in that plaza prior to signing the lease to get an idea. "Ah, but they don't go to those restaurants because their food is crap!" Yes, the food is crap. No, that's not the reason.

And then there's the food. Great food they made. But they weren't making a profit. So did they revise their menu to focus on items that would give good margins? No. They raised the prices. Fewer people came. They raised the prices again. Even fewer people came. This spiraled out of control. Within a year they had shut down. One of the co-owners told me there wasn't a month where they made a profit. I asked "Did you talk to any restaurant owners for their advice prior to opening?" Nope. If the food is great, people will come.

These guys work (or worked) pretty good jobs prior to opening the business - sometimes in senior management roles. Is that how decisions were made at their companies?
I actually like the quote. But there are a couple reasons Rumsfeld deserves to get raked over the coals for it:

1. The Bush Administration lied like war criminals to lead us into the Iraq War. So even though he may have been referring to technical operational complications of winning the peace in Iraq or whatever, it was easy to construe it as more bullshit gibberish to justify a crime against humanity.

2. Related to 1. There were plenty of known knowns with Iraq that the Bush Administration treated as some variety of unknown. It sounded a lot like he was using a clever philosophical aphorism to make excuses for stupid blatant errors of judgment.

You didn't like Smalltalk. It didn't work for the way your brain works, so much so that you failed a class twice. I'm not quite sure how this adds to the discussion. Clearly IDEs and having to "mouse-around through the available classes and methods" works for many people since this is how documentation in Xcode/Android Studio/Visual Studio works. If the documentation for one Smalltalk implementation was bad, that doesn't mean that others were bad. I don't quite see your point other than that Smalltalk (and one specific implementation of it at that) didn't work for you, a sample size of 1.

>You don't seem to attach much value to the lives of the elderly and those who have underlying health conditions. I presume that's because no one you care about, including yourself, is in that category. That's a pretty callous attitude.

My parents are in that category, but I attach a very high negative value to using violence (or threat of it) to control people's behaviour. From my perspective it's extremely immoral to say to a huge swarth of the population: you can't work or meet your friends for the next few months, or else we'll throw you in jail if you're caught. I.e. human rights (free movement, association) are human rights; they're not compromisable just because somebody decided it's an emergency or there's some greater good that needs to be enforced. Yes it's reasonable to argue that those at risk have a right not to be infected (e.g. to require potential carriers to stay away), but this doesn't extend to requiring people they have no proximity/interaction with to stay at home and not interact with each other.

> 10 years thrown away so some people can go on a march because they're angry about someone dying.

10 years lost by one person, vs 2-3 years lost by 10 people due to the permanent negative effects on lifetime outcomes of poverty resulting from the lockdown-induced depression. Not to mention lifetime reduction in standard of living. In terms of measure that actually account for this, Quality-Adjusted Life Years, it's like the intervention is probably not a net positive: https://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/economic-cost-o....

>I presume that's because no one you care about, including yourself, is in that category.

Also, in general, making decisions based on their emotional effect on you is a selfish and unprincipled approach to any kind of public policymaking.

What about "protesters" brutality? Now they shooting at cops, so what about that?
> Is there any possibility of a backdoor?
In a transceiver, I find it quite unlikely. Usually the main question is to ask, what would the benefit and cost of that backdoor be (and the risk of discovery).

So if Huawei managed to backdoor that transceiver, what could they accomplish with it? Chain it to exploit some vulnerability in the router the component is plugged into. Include a bunch of extra hardware and a capacitor, to allow it to surge the port on command to try and burn out your router? Try and sniff intelligence on that 1.25gbps connection, using some tiny low power embedded processor?

If your worth investing in an attack against, their are probably far cheaper ways to attack you specifically, instead of backdooring every transceiver and hoping you end up getting one.

Now, if you're the government your threat model might look a bit different, although, a transceiver is still a hard component to do something useful with a backdoor.

No it didn't. The South was split in 1968, with deep south voting for Wallace, a Democrat, and most other states going to Nixon. Finally, after Ford, in 1976 you had Jimmy Carter, a southern Democrat who carried the south entirely: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/El...

> Get out of here with this nonsense.

Being wrong is fine and being snarky is fine, but both at the same time is generally a bad look.

Others have added comments with links to specific videos, so I won't copy and paste them here, but it's clear that police officers are continuing the age-old tradition of punitive violence.

Please reconsider why you think this behavior is justified.
Agreed. Which is actually an upside to an automated, but imperfect solution as reinforcement.

I've just been generally surprised at how often I see an ML solution implemented the complaint is "it isn't perfect", when perfection was not the goal metric. I think people just expect robots to do everything exactly right.
I would imagine the lead in the clothing poses more of a threat to their health than the radio waves.
Seems to be overreaching to me. They have put themselves into a position where they are likely to be sued into the ground, and force others into a position where the only choice is to lose their income or sue them into the ground. They weren't forced into creating this standoff, so at least share the blame.
I don't know why you're being downvoted.

The party flip happened due to single-issue voting on the topic of abortion. It became the Republican platform during and after Reagan. They've since co-opted a host of other issues that cater to their base, but abortion is still at the heart of it.

Abortion changed the Republican party.
Those paintballs are filled with oleoresin capsicum (OC) which is a far more persistent and "persuasive" substance. Getting hit with a CS paintball would be ineffectual due to the small amount and the fact that it wears off quickly.

What "long term side effects" does CS have? The US Army (at least) routinely puts all soldiers through a CS filled gas chamber as part of chemical warfare training and has done so for decades.
A lot to process here and I can't help feeling like we're overthinking it when we resort to these psychoses.

Being that one ought to believe in people over processes we ought to examine what in the process is causing these outcomes rather than assigning blame to the people?

Of course people have responsibility over the processes but by the same token they must be freed from the blame and given the chance to improve the process.

There's gotta be a game theory approach that allows for good and bad actors to coexist given the right incentives?

"The police can't just tell people what to do"

What world do you live in? I could just go on a murder spree and when police come to arrest me I can just tell them "you can't tell me what to do", and they'll say "shucks, he's right, guess we'll let him on his way".

By the way, you're being doublespeaky when you say "protest is legal". It sure is. But the vast majority of these altercations come from after a group has been declared a riot, a public safety hazard, and ordered to disperse. They're no longer peaceful protesters when the cops have to use force to shut it down.
Sorry, if you are pointing towards Presidential politics as evidence, that actually supports the OP's point that the roots of this party flip began in the 1960s.

I was a Windows developer back in the day.

After a certain Windows release, Microsoft had a Windows App Certification checklist of features you had to use if you wanted various levels of support, or sales to brick and mortar stores (they required that to reduce support calls and returns.)

At first I found the checklists irritating, as they required essentially a major application release for each Windows version - your application bit-rotted essentially.

But in the end, it was worth it as the application was more polished, with standardized paths, help, etc.
I never said anything about being entitled to anything, please don't put words in my mouth. I'm just pointing out something that should be obvious - a bookstore isn't a library. And telling people who have already paid their taxes to go use a bookstore is offensive.
