That first chart says that black males are at more than twice the risk to be killed by the police in there lifetime vs white males. Given that black males are 7 times more likely to commit violent crimes than white males (2013 I think), I wouldn't say there is necessarily a bias regarding police killings.

Restaurants want this service, they just want it at a fair price.

The argument isn’t so much “grubhub charges a fee” more that “grubhub uses its monopoly position in a local market to further monopolize distribution channels and thus charge monopoly prices“
What you are describing is a legal process problem opposed to a police enforcement problem. The courts are a whole different set of problems that also need refinement, but is a completely different beast.

Running a small business is having lots of loose ends to manage by only one person. The restaurateur spends all day doing kitchen and front of house, closes the restaurant, and then looks forward to bookkeeping. They’re responsible for HR, payroll, scheduling, and marketing. They have to supervise repairs to the physical plant. Often, they forget which service you need to update to change the hours, they don’t realize that Yelp has changed their phone number to a GrubHub number until they’ve been receiving advertising bills, and even then maybe aren’t sure why it’s so expensive, etc. There are hundreds of companies trying to take advantage of you depending on the limited time you have to dedicate to everything. Why do I get so many “ads” that look like invoices? It must be an effective technique.

That makes sense. The NG goes by in their vehicle and the people firing the paint guns are wearing what looks like police armor.

Do you have a link to cite though? I haven't yet read a statement from the National Guard about it and some brief searching on Google brings up a lot of useless noise.
To begin with the searcher never indicated they are interested in actually buying a mattress (for example by saying 'mattress price' or by clicking the shopping tab).

Now maybe Google infered that for them, right or wrong.

The problem then becomes that what is presented is not mattress-buying information which could for example consist of information about different mattress types, reviews and discussions (how many of you would be forced to actually type 'mattress reddit' in this scenario?). Instead it is a page full of ads. It does not help the searcher make a buying decision. It actually makes their job harder with so many options to choose from and very little condensed information to help with the choice. All those brains and AIs at Google "organizing the world's information" are nowhere to be seen as literally all the cognitive load is transferred back to the searcher.

What is wrong with that is that Google's mission states "organize the world's information" (and this was a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate that) while what Google actually did was "organize the world's ads". Sad thing about it is that there was a point in the past when that was not the case.
> We need to address both police brutality

There's a bigger legal+cultural problem if people are cold-blooded executed by police and the officer is tried and acquitted. The investigators, prosecutor, and jury are complicit.
This is a very fun-looking project. However, in the GNU/Linux world, "user space" is a very broad term referring to everything running outside of the kernel. In order for this to be a "Python user space", you would need to implement or include a lot python equivalents of standard user space tooling. Python grep, python awk, python top, python vi, python gcc (lolz), and even python CPython (lolololz), etc. In the README, you say you want to get it to boot without Busybox. Busybox is currently the thing filling this void for you now. It is providing your actual user space, including it's systemV-inspired init system.

What you have here is basically a very simple pygame template with an embedded application build tool chain. Which is totally cool, and potentially fun and productive. But it isn't replacing the GNU/Linux user space, which is C heavy, but very language diverse.

I would focus not on replacing the user space, but interfacing with it where reasonable. To that end, you may even want to consider shedding pygame and interfacing with X11/wayland. Identify the surfaces you want to control with python and implement that. It will perform better, and be more true to what makes Linux "Linux".

Extraordinary enough? A birds eye view, of a protest that was peaceful for hours, until police grab for an umbrella, and start attacking the crowd.

Here's an ant's eye view of the same event, by the way. @26:30 - the gas masks arrive, @28:20 - the gas masks take their place in the line, @30:00 - the umbrella gets grabbed, and the crowd gets attacked.

How you’re kidding yourself, the police force+friends would do anything to hold onto that psychological power, they would not let a fellow cop who may even be a cold blooded murderer face justice, that would dent their projected power and would make being a cop a lot less glamorous and more like a regular job. It would be ideal but you’re forgetting this is America, a police state, more and pronounced lately
Agreed. Blaming one another isn’t constructive. Framing it as a needed cultural change goes further.
I feel like they did, but a quick Google can't turn it up - strange. But I agree they could have been more clear about it. Just one of many issues with how they've handled this situation.
Have been thinking of doing something similar. The sad reality is that social distancing and WFH also impose huge barriers because nobody has a headset and sharing them is now both inconvenient and unsanitary. Hoping that post-COVID it doesn't form a permanent setback for headset market growth.

No, I just said that what the police did is wrong. But I don't understand why you (or rather the poster I was replying to) think that his death is a tragedy? From a 10,000 foot view it is a win for society that he is now gone.

I don't think it's obvious either way. Reading on paper vs. high-DPI screens isn't that different.

Text-oriented software like Kindle and Medium default to serif fonts, but I don't know if they have any research to back that up. I suppose Amazon's usability people might have even bothered to look into that.

Of course a large part of this is simply that you read fastest what you read the most.
Summary of maxims: You can print out these two pages, fold than up, and keep then in your pocket. Well, maybe not, since nobody is really interested in writing MS-DOS-based games, anymore. But if you did, this would have been a handy guide to ensuring that your game doesn’t run on Windows 95.

1. The more confusing the error message, the better.

2. If it doesn’t run under Windows, then it’s Windows’fault.

3. Detect Windows, and crash.

4. Manuals are a waste of time.

5. Words in boldface don’t count.

6. Just because you’re a Windows application doesn’t mean that you have to be compatible with Windows.

7. Performance degradation is acceptable in the greater interest of not running on Windows 95.

8. If you’re going to do something wrong, do it wrong in as many different ways as possible.

9. Find a rule and break it as blatantly as possible.

10. The weirder your code, the harder it will be for the operating system to detect that you are about to do something stupid and rescue you.

17. If you’re going to fail, do so as subtly as possible.

18. Do something that is supported only under Windows, and do it wrong.

19. Second-guess the specification whenever possible.

20. Knowledge of the English language is optional.

32. Don’t bother testing the error paths. The game is already over.

I expect nothing except of myself that I am adaptable to uncertain circumstances. Certainly collective bargaining will allow me to extract a greater portion of the value should things go poorly for everyone. I think a union would be a useful tool to ensure that, say, the needs of the majority of participants are met as things fall apart. But that's for the majority, which given the ability will rent-seek over their sole control of employment by harming the minority: new participants, immigrants, those with relatively little power through ethnic/cultural/historical accident.

Of course, one could attempt to construct an organization that doesn't have these flaws, but I suspect the greater part of possible participants desire these things I call flaws. So, given institutional oppression vs. the natural oppression of the markets? I choose the natural oppression. We will both swim in the stormy ocean and luck and strength and perseverance will choose one of us. So be it.

Sometimes you can produce tests (not unit, but integration and such) from the existing system by treating it as an oracle. That's what I did once, it worked really well and in the end of the differences between it and mine (where mine technically failed the tests), we found out the old system had dozens of critical bugs and mine hand a handful (old system gave many false negatives, which was a major no-no, mine gave some false positives which were tolerable; manual inspection can clear up the latter but not the former).
Yes, it's disappointinly hard to use the whole UI with hands compared to the controller. I guess it's a mix of improving the tracking and getting the UI right. But even from where we are now, projecting forward to perfect tech I am still not sure that I want to use hand tracking over controllers for most things. A few types of games and other applications could clearly benefit, but mostly controllers >> hands.

Yep - there is way to grab the depth data from each Street View pano along with the image data. I plot each point 3D space and grab the corresponding color from the image.

Google charges me for the privilege of them placing an ad at the top of the search result when people search for the exact name of my business. Or if they type my domain name into a search box. I pay to win an auction to have my business be the first ad when people search my exact name.

Yelp adds value by putting my competitors above me when people search my exact name. They then offer me the deal Google gets.

GrubHub is spending VC money to win the google auction and then they offer the restaurant the great deal of handing over the profit margin to them. They’ll continue elbowing out paying restaurants after that to keep the money flowing, so the restaurant is paying for the privilege of paying GrubHub.

What a great time for small business.

USTW are an inflammatory noisy bunch, but their influence- even the public's awareness of their existence- appears to be pretty limited. I've only encountered them before on Twitter because their name is so generic; your comment is literally the only result for "USTW" on this entire website. The current administration's protectionist policies likely do not stem from their lobbying efforts, if any, but from the general nativist attitudes of the incumbent. The U.S. Techworkers is also a very different organization:

https://twitter.com/techworkersco/status/974352480740847616

> Not a one is convinced by TWC ending up ultimately different.

Are they even aware of the existence of the TWC? Or that they're very, very different from the USTW? It's not exactly as if those who might support the latter aren't already vehemently against the latter:

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2010/10/08/anti-immigran...

> I'm not a political wheeler-dealer. I know where I fall short and I'll be easily bypassed in any attempt to put these safeguards in (even were they possible) by people with vastly more experience and skill at this than me.

The whole point of a union, or a democratic republic, or any sort of participatory organization is that you can join like-minded people to influence the future of the organization. That way, at risk minorities can have their voices heard and participate in a larger project that can protect their interests.

That said, all of this academic because the libertarian/atomized individualist current of the tech industry makes the prospect of a tech worker's union more or less near-impossible, so your hysteria is largely baseless. Even if your opinion about U.S. software engineers being largely xenophobic is correct- an assertion that is complicated by the fact that SV SWEs include many immigrants, and an organization like the TWC welcomes H-1B workers into its ranks- it would seem that the USTW's almost complete lack of presence, xenophobic MUNI ads aside, would seem to indicate that individualist instincts trump xenophobia.
You lunatics actually think you're going to get MORE INTEGRATION, after all of this? Good luck with that.

And if you really believed whites were evil and oppressive towards blacks and were responsible for all of blacks' dysfunction, you would be the staunchest supporters of segregation. That you unwaveringly oppose it proves you don't believe your own BS narrative.
I usually try to understand all sides of an argument, even if I disagree. But I just don't see what the reasonable police position could be here, apart from the police forces that actually engaged with protestors (ie their employers) about their concerns. The hostile police would seem to insist on asserting baseless anti-American top-down control without reason or responsibility, similar to Trump, which explains the sympatico.

Constructively, maybe if the protestors do "overrun" the cops, then the protestors could setup a new justice system, arrest the criminal conspiracies, and try them under RICO. If there were enough protestors willing to work this justice system, it could even be a good time for cities to say farewell to the incumbent union and hire the new system to keep order instead.

But practically yes I agree things will get ugly if we keep going down this path. But since the police are over the line by aggressing against basic American values, the only peaceful resolution is for them to simply stand down and stop attacking protests. I don't see any other option that wouldn't be bargaining with totalitarianism.

Google has been criticized by some experts for implementing the feature in Chrome by default since the feature can have some privacy issues. Here is a tweet https://twitter.com/pes10k/status/1229835239565905921 by Peter Snyder Security Researcher @ Brave and another comment from David Baron from Mozilla https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/194#is....

And it looks like Google is now automatically adding Scroll To Text Fragment to Featured Snippets in Search results, this basically means that if you are on Chrome and click on the Featured Snippet they can automatically scroll and take you to the section of the page where the snippet was lifted from.

Try searching for https://www.google.com/search?q=Will+emojis+and+HTML+tags+wo... on Chrome Desktop. I was able to trigger them from Australia.

Another interesting thing is that it only happens in Chrome, Edge and Firefox did not show them and in some cases, the Featured Snippet did not appear as well, kinda makes the SERPs on other browsers feel quite inferior IMHO. https://www.google.com/search?q=faq+page+Structured+data+typ... – try clicking on different browsers.

Even when the Featured Snippets are shown in these other browsers they don’t get the Scroll To Text Fragment treatment. https://www.google.com/search?q=scroll+to+text+fragment – try clicking on different browsers.

Obviously these other browsers don’t support Scroll To Text Fragment so it’s pointless to show them right, well in the case of Firefox yeah but Edge runs on Chromium and Scroll To Text Fragment actually works on it. Try clicking on https://tldrmarketing.com/about-us/#:~:text=Does%20Konami%20... on Edge.

From what I can see all Featured Snippets are getting the Scroll To Text Fragment treatment on Chrome desktop, would love to see examples when it’s not.

Oh, so if you implement rent control on some irrelevant city it'll have the same effect than on the Bay Area?

C# is my goto language for productivity. If you want to lure us in, show a stereotypical example of go routines with channels solving a problem that would take significantly more effort with .net threads or .net tasks. We'll be intrigued enough to look further, and most won't stop to ask if channels seem like a recipe for deadlock/panic that's usually not the right abstraction. Don't mention the lack of generics; you'll scare us away before we get addicted to go routines.

Personally, I prefer actors over CSP. Async concurrency is less predictable, but race conditions don't generally happen when threads aren't synchronizing, so it doesn't matter if you're not making satellite firmware.

C# allows dynamic code compilation at runtime based on reflection. The cool part of LINQ is the 'Expressions', which allow you to analyze/rebuild the AST of code and take actions based on code structure. It's kind of like having runtime macros, except you can only make your own if you're willing to spend an hour doing something that would take 2 minutes in lisp. Keeps the DSLs to a minimum. I would miss this if I switched to go. Rust on the other hand...
