> The commenter is saying that the fact that this isn't a valid lawsuit is what is meant by qualified immunity, I believe.

One idea: If a lawyer brings n invalid lawsuits within m months (where n, m are magic numbers, n preferably under three, m preferably over twelve), the lawyer gets disbarred. The only problem is: who decides whether a lawsuit is valid? Is there an objective way to judge this?
I understood "auto-immune drug war" to be metaphorically comparing the problems with police misbehaviour to an autoimmune disorder. In autoimmune disorders, your immune system which normally defends against pathogens, instead attacks some part of the body. With police misbehaviour, you've also got a system that should be protecting people instead attacking some of those people.
Ideally. Government workers are just more likely to pick up nuisance suits (and legit suits) than the average individual due to the nature of their work. I can see why the concept originated.
That's really simple in this case. The space of expressible opinions has been strictly contracted. If it had shifted in some other more complex way then I think you could have a point. In this case though the contraction was very clear, rapid, and enforced through a variety of visible and prominent site-level changes (e.g., introducing extreme quarantines or bans of many subreddits or re-engineering the frontpage to hide content [like introducing r/popular, which selectively only shows certain political content]).
You're probably getting hung up on the "converting to base-128" part.

Here's my solution. I wouldn't normally post it publicly, but I've emailed OP multiple times over the last couple months to apply for this position and have received no response, so maybe this is actually the best way to get around the spam filter:

from z3 import *
s = Solver()
x = Int('x')
divisor1 = x / 611939
divisor2 = x / 598463
modconstraint1 = (x - (611939 * divisor1)) == 145767
modconstraint2 = (x - (598463 * divisor2)) == 109572

s.add(modconstraint1, modconstraint2, x > 0)
s.check()

email_bin = '{0:b}'.format(s.model()[x].as_long())
email_b128 = []
for i in xrange(0, len(email_bin), 7):
email_b128.append('0' + email_bin[i : i+7])

email_bytearr = map(lambda c: str(unichr(int(c, 2))), email_b128)
print(reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, email_bytearr, '') + '@inpher.io')
Yeah, I’m not so sure about the use case myself...

Input:

UserInterface.model({
name: "children",
method: UserInterface.appendChild,
properties: {
tagName: "div",
className: "model",
children: [
{
tagName: "div",
className: "child",
textContent: "My first child"
// and so on..
}
]
}
});

UserInterface.runModel("children", { parentNode: document.body });

Output:

<body>
<div class="model">
<div class="child">My first child</div>
</div>
</body>
The investors themselves aren't overleveraged, but the ETFs they're purchasing are. Your link specifically refers to the amount of leverage offered to individual investors

So, for example, that regulation does not prevent me from buying an overleveraged ETF, but only from overleveraged my own account (whether it be buying these ETFs or a share of coca-cola)

I think it depends on the use case. If I'm developing my own stuff my peen package management is fine.

If trying to run various existing python programs to analyze biology data, I soon run into various problems. Is this a Conda?/ or can I use my Python environment? which version of python? will let me run the thing and what libraries do I need? This breaks in that version?

Sometimes I feel that one kinda ok way of doing things, would be better than having 6 ways , one of which will suit my use case perfectly.

This problem is not unique to python.

> But breathlessly calling out the headline debt number without acknowledging that vehicle debt is a reasonable strategy for a rental car company is misleading at best.

Shouldn't the conclusion be that it isn't a reasonable strategy if it causes the company to fail after a couple of months of significantly reduced demand? This global situation is awful, but it's far from unforeseeable.
Not sure why Facebook invested in Oculus. They already have one of the world's largest "virtual reality" platform.
I develop Python exclusively on Windows (that then is deployed on Linux) and my experience is identical to the original poster. It's not a perfect system, but it's good enough and I have dealt with dependency management systems.
I think Basecamp is the best company to work remotely right now they offer insane benefits.

A close second is MeetEdgar, they offer almost same benefits as Basecamp, they even have a "toilet paper allowance"
If I navigated a business correctly and maintained control of my company through bootstrapping and not otherwise taking VC money with the good faith intent of a liquidity event (though there have been a few that did VC funding and then told their investors to piss off and stayed private, YMMV), why would I ever want to take a company public? If I'm more interested in running a business in the direction I see fit and don't need the liquidity or the payout then that seems like a pretty big hurdle.

Understandably though maybe you need the liquidity public markets can provide for a giant undertaking, thinking of Tesla here, then look at all the hoops Elon has had to jump through to maintain some semblance of his control.

My point is, I'm sure there are private tech companies worth some multitude of billions but the powers that run them value their control and don't need the liquidity of the public market and so taking the company public would just complicate their interests.

A super quick search shows me there are at least 26 private tech companies valued at greater than 1bn not sure how many of those don't ever intend to go public but I'd guess a few.
"Unfortunately police unions prevent that from being a viable option."

Well, police unions, district attorneys, judges, elected officials, and the political process itself. Oh, and the police themselves. Without the cooperation of the entire system, police unions have little power over situations involving illegal acts.
Police should be required to get private insurance.

Bad police should get priced out of the job as their insurance premiums make the job less and less profitable.

The worst should become unemployable as police when they become uninsurable.

Related question for all debian people I guess will visit this page: Is there a version of this for all the small stuff in debian?

Background: A few days ago I installed debian under WSL. Normally I used to install Ubuntu.

I've set it up to be comfortable (bash completion etc,) but I think someone here mentioned some other guide or something for setting up debian machines, this handbook seems to be more about large systems administration and less about configuring it as a developer workstation.

(I also did some cursory searching on this to see if I could find something about vadh completion in this handbook, but couldn't find it.)

If there was a way to draw a clear line, it would kill the insurance industry. It is one of the reason why you are required to have insurance on everything.
I always wondered why pro sports players would yell at the referee when they got an unfavorable ruling. Apparently they're not trying to get that ruling changed, they're preemptively intimidating the ref so that _next_ time they'll rule differently. Go $sportsball!

Getting sued is expensive, stressful, and time consuming no matter how the case turns out.

If you sue all the commissioners every time they issue a decision that you don't like sooner or later they'll see your next request and think "Can I afford the inevitable lawsuit if I say No like I should?" and/or "Can I take the stress? Can my family?" So next time they'll give you what you want just to avoid that whole mess.

IANAL but it sounds like qualified immunity is intended to short-circuit this: even if you made a reasonable mistake here and there you can't be sued by some bullying jerk.
I fully agree. But I see editing the file manually an advantage. I can pip install whatever I want and then I only need to worry about having a clean requirements.in file.

With that, I know the compiled requirements.txt will only have what I need. Now it is just pip install -r requirements.txt or pip-sync.
The cases would still be evaluated as per the state of the law as it stood at the time the questionable acts occurred. If police were operating under QI and QI is later repealed, changing the law's interpretation of their behavior after-the-fact to find them liable is ex post facto law.

Sucks and is unfair, but it's the same principle that stops the government from, for example, jailing people who used to drink if Prohibition were put back in the Constitution.(1)

(1) There's a carve-out in jurisprudence that if something was illegal in the past, and you're jailed for it, and it is later made legal, your continued incarceration can be re-considered. But that's handled on, generally, a case-by-case basis.

One of the scary things about the George Floyd incident is that resisting arrest might have been the better option. That has some pretty dark implications about rule of law.

I understand the impulse of those on the right to give police officers the benefit of the doubt when it comes to what can very often be a dangerous calling, but I think that everyone (including police officers) will be safer if the police can be legally held accountable to a higher standard.

There was a movement around 2000 to define hackers as the good guys and crackers the bad guys who break into computer systems and cause damage. I believe that movement failed.

A cracker, to me, is someone who breaks software protection. A hacker can be good or bad, and that makes the word more fun.
Thanks for the article, a lot of interesting details. They definitely are not in competition today, and certainly not in competition technically where they are taking very different approaches and currently have very different end goals.

I was responding to the hypothetical situation of the above poster where if Starship comes in under budget and better specced than SLS in the Artemis timeframe for Moon mission lunar lander designs and the SLS teams came in with one over budget (and Sierra Nevada does whatever they do probably somewhere in the middle) ["all three plans"], the SLS is still likely to win in the political competition (for so very many reasons including those for why the SLS is nicknamed the "Senate Launch System"). Keep in mind the whole point of the Artemis "land a person on the moon again in our lifetimes" is a political gambit to curry favor with US taxpayers that their "money is well spent" with a pat on the back that NASA and probably (and maybe even especially) that the SLS have been useful uses of taxpayer money. (Even if NASA has done plenty of things between the last moon landing and today, and even if NASA is just as equally involved in the commercial space projects, Artemis and SLS are as much political symbols as space projects.)
It's not the union, expecting a group to police themselves is just unrealistic, that's against human nature.

In theory, elected officials and journalists should be able to keep police force in check. But in reality, if you make enemy of your local police force, life is going to be very hard for you.

A friend gave up on journalism, in major part due to her stint at reporting on local police issues.

Nightwatch.io | Remote | Full-time | Elixir, Rust, Ruby, Go

This is a fully remote position, full-time or part-time, with flexible working hours and work arrangements.

We’re looking for an experienced developer who enjoys working with server side technologies and possesses a good mixture of DevOps and application development chops, has been around the block a couple of times, and would like to build forward-thinking and innovative solutions with experienced teammates in a progressive-oriented environment.

About the role: You should have plenty of experience in building performant, easy to use, well monitored and well tested APIs, creating and maintaining robust web applications, designing efficient data flows, communicating clearly, sharing knowledge and questioning existing solutions.

If you are a positive-oriented hacker who does not fit the traditional company structure and resonates with the mindset of programming languages and paradigms being just a tool and not a heavy personal attachment and identification, then this role might be the right fit for you.

About the company: We’re a self funded SaaS company that primarily builds forward-thinking tools for internet professionals. We are a bootstrapped company that believes the future belongs to smaller companies that don’t subscribe to the 9-to-5 corporate way of doing things. We believe that the Silicon Valley era is over, and we are building a business that allows us to enjoy the freedom of working remotely where each of us has the autonomy and flexibility to have a high impact on the world with our work.

I don’t have a problem with people deciding they don’t want to hear certain speech. I have a problem with someone else making that decision for me, unbeknownst to me, and on nuanced issues like contemporary politics (not the fairly straightforward stuff that ends up on Gab.)

Even then, I’d still prefer a totally open system that lets me decide what I want to see/not see, because it avoids any potential censorship.

I haven't seen this to be the case. My impression is they found that his speech didn't violate their normal policy. Do you have support to the contrary?

Lol good point. Though my assumption is this is for economic reasons. So technically you're right; that's political. Though I think it's a non-trivial distinction between trying to grease the economic engine to support corporate profits and being political in the sense of pushing for other left/right/progressive/conservative values.

- Infra: Devops, golang, rust, kubernetes, microservices, large-scale systems, all kinds of databases. Have managed large clusters. Used to be an early Apache Spark engineer and was in a database research group in grad school.
- Briefly worked in algo trading (HFT-style)
- Worked at multiple early-stage startups, so I can do other things like full-stack web or app development, but I prefer not to do these full-time. But I can help if stuff comes up.

I'm not actually looking for work. But I figured I would post anyway - who knows what opportunities come along! If there's something at the intersection of my interests I'd love to talk. Not sure myself what that would look like, perhaps something around ML/RL, research, infra, or possibly trading.

I've worked as a full stack developer during my undergraduate and full-time in the private (startup) world. I recently completed a Master's degree focused on AI/ML applications.

I'm very interested in work that can combine these strengths, such as machine learning engineer, applied data scientist, data infrastructure, etc. I also continue to be interested in full stack and back-end engineer roles.

I think code quality is extremely important, and I'll be an advocate for processes which increase maintainability and decrease long term technical debt wherever I go.

Several DOE sites won't even consider Singularity, including NERSC, who created Shifter (aka Docker + patching - networking) around the same time as development at Singularity started at LBNL (NERSC's parent lab). LANL created CharlieCloud (https://hpc.github.io/charliecloud/) because they needed a hard focus on security first.

There is quite a bit of distrust of Singularity places that value security. I'm hoping podman rootless can eventually come through and render all the bespoke implementations moot, but it will probably be a few years.
