That depends. Are my kids journalists covering a protest?

I don't need bands of state-sanctioned armed thugs roaming my neighborhood. But, yes, if the situation warrants it, and the risk is low enough, I will call police in the situation you posit. I should note, however, that I am white. Were I black, I would have to put some extra thought into that decision.
Two things:

(1) no one's used methane on a rocket before, so there's not a lot of experience in ground handling it, and its properties are rather different than other fuels.

(2) Making large lightweight steel pressure vessels is also rather novel.

Those two account for most of the destruction; the rest are the sorts of errors usual to a rocket test program. It's an industry famous for blowing things up due to low margins and lots of potential energy.
I'd say we're all fairly well aware of it though.
That sounds more like an interpretation issue, than a posto facto.
They should actually call it “8 year old driver” or “learners permit”. Then you’d know exactly how to treat it.
Wait, what’s your math here? Black deaths by police are 4.5/100k and white is 1.5, that’s a 3x or 300% difference.
Short of killing or permanently injuring people or destroying residences, I think the riots are morally justified, but they may not be practically justified. However, even the practical non-justification is becoming uncertain at this point, considering just how extreme and long-lasting the originating problem has become, how desperately severe it is, and how it has worsened.
That sounds like a nightmare. Is there any other way to delay the loading of the gif that doesn't negatively affect your score? Like a JS callback or similar.

As an aside, the other replies to your comment is very telling of the HN audience. Many of which aren't knowledgeable in the webdev field, but "they did it in the 90's", "use bleeding-edge tech" and "everything you're doing is wrong". Also IFRAMEs, hahaha.
Racism is not something that could even be solved with market forces, nor would any libertarian claim such a thing. At best we would say the market gives non-racists the best chance to isolate the push back against racists

History shows that if a society is racist the absolute WORST thing you can do is have a strong government, as that government will likely be filled with racists who will pass racist laws. (See The War on Drugs and/or Jim Crow Laws)

The idea that more government is the solution to racism denies the entire history of this nation. Government is not now, nor has it ever been the solution to the problem of racism (nor any other problem), Government is like it always has been and always will be the problem...

the Classic Libertarian saying "Government: If you think you have problems, wait until you see our [government] solutions"
I visited Jabra's website the other day, browsed a couple product pages and then left. Sure enough about 24 hours late I get an email with a subject like "Come check out some of these products you missed."

How the hell is that legal?
I'm blown away at how trusting of AP and FSD people are. I've only used AP once or twice in the 6 or so months I've had my 3 and it consistently scares the shit out of me.

It's not _bad_ per se, but it drives like a teenager and that has resulted in a fundamental distrust of the system on my end.
I didn't pick the example, but my point was that example along with others come with some warts.
If you have continuous voting it may be better to vote for decisilons instead of voting for people. Because politicians usually happily pretend to support whatever policies they think are popular.

It’s an idea. The problem is that the button has to be trivially pushable by anyone. No payment screen in between cause and effect.

I definitely wish this install method had a good guide. Having figured it out myself and installed Sid in the past, it really makes for a nice rolling-release distribution experience when combined with apt-listbugs. It's definitely not for the faint of heart!
What type of crimes? There is a difference between the ongoing killings in Chicago and tax evasion. Also what is the difference is stats between African American and African immigrants? I am afraid that if all those factors will be taken into account we will see that the police kills more white than black with no reason.

In a side note, I can't stand Obama's wishy washy talking, it is useless and doesn't solve anything while making people feel good as if something is done. Nobody is courageous enough to tackle the actual problem which is the way the African Americans behave. Slavery is not an excuse, people around the world had to endure worst situations since slavery has been abolished and they don't use it as an excuse for violence and disorder.

The reason the police in the US is so violent towards everyone is because of the African American community being so violent and disorderly that they leave no choice to the cops and make it worst for everyone. They should fix their own communities and the way they treat others before whinging about racism.
I'm saying that working on Cryptography can also be a solid math education. You can start with very basic high-school math; primes and finite fields, extend to algebra, formal logic, information theory, codes, probability, elliptic curves, isogenies, lattices. They can build on one another, but by actually building some things. It's a great way to learn.
This is the report for homicides (a different table from the one in the root comment that tracks arrests): https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

Furthermore, this data is from reports not arrests. So selective enforcement is not a factor.
1. I keep a percolating list of subjects -- writing fiction (SF&F), movies/books, philosophy (Zen in particular) -- and whenever I get a seed for a post, I just write down a blurb of it as a draft and then expand on it later. I may have more ideas than I can do justice to at any one time, but that's part of how the gears keep turning: there's never a shortage of material.

2. I started blogging a long time ago -- more than 20 years, really -- but I was highly scattershot for a long time, and I'm not proud of a lot of the material I put out until about a decade or so ago. Focusing on a few topics of deep personal interest helped.

3. See last sentence of #2.

4. My biggest struggle was not feeling like I had nothing to offer anyone in terms of insight or whatnot. Eventually, I decided whatever it was that was mine would be more than enough.

Someone told me the other day that they had investigated the Minneapolis police blotter, after the reporting that the majority of people arrested were from out of state. That investigation turned up that the blotter didn't agree, and shortly after it was revealed the police issued an apology.

Denver made a similar report, but have not made their arrest records public, for some reason...
DDG just gives you Bing's results, while avoiding giving Microsoft information on you. This will necessarily produce worse results, but you might decide that this is worth the tradeoff.
Yawn. Wake me up when the rents plunge 50%.

The market there was already excessively over-valued. The virus proved how unnecessary they actually are.

A real correction is good.
Agreed, those numbers alone don't convince it's safer.

Also, personally I would have a complication: would I be satisfied with being safer than average? I don't know if I'm average. I tend to pay attention and never have driven under influence (alcohol or w/e), or when sleepy. So a little better than average would not bring me peace of mind.

I think some kind of situational statistic would be relevant here; maybe they could have some part of the fleet as controls with AP disabled (and offer some kind of reward), then the overall accident rate can be compared better.
I jailbroke for the first time in nearly a decade when unc0ver came out. It's actually pretty useful. I really love having the ability to use Flex on any app on my device.
The Hertz story reminded me of another article explaining corporate predatory behaviour from 2018.

Have you ever rented a car from a small company? The entire process sucks. Yea it is ok if it is a once a year vacation. But for a business trip it is such a waste of time.
It must be, it's in the Merriam-Webster dictionary on my bookshelf.
I'm in-favor of robots on the moon bootstrapping a fuel and solar-furance refinery of materials construction plant. The speed of light delay is annoying, but not fatal for higher level remote supervision and planning of automated processes.
According to AAA, in the US there is approximately one injury accident per million miles driven, and one fatal accident per 100 million miles:

Somewhere along the line the marketing of Autopilot fell apart. As an airline pilot when I hear the word autopilot I think of a system that generally drives the aircraft along a programmed routing and vertical profile. It is most definitely not a set it and forget it device. Training repeatedly stresses that someone must be monitoring the actions of the autopilot at all times and it’s taken very seriously as it can rapidly place you in a very undesirable state.

Somewhere along the way Tesla Autopilot became marketed as a fully self-driving system freeing us to tune out. I think the criticism about the capabilities of the system could be toned down some but we most definitely should be critical of what capabilities are advertised and what instruction is given for the person operating the system. I think it’s very likely that an Autopilot like system could make driving significantly safer but only if we figure out the human interaction aspects and fully and truthfully communicate the capabilities of that system.
Often, but not always - sometimes the benefits of scale are eaten up by an oligopoly gouging customers. In New Zealand, the big rental companies were much much more expensive than small local companies that were hard to find because they didn't show up on the international aggregators.

And unlike the big companies, there were no hidden costs, no upsells, no attempts to scam, no attempts to extort huge fees when trying to change the rental, ... didn't even charge us for forwarding a traffic ticket which would have totally been their right.

After my experience with Hertz (US) as a customer, the only reason why I'm not 100% happy with them going under is that I don't expect their large competitors to be much better, and less competition means the others can become even worse.
See, I love the Linux environment. I've been using Arch for the past 6 months and I absolutely love it.

I have problems with it though. Watching 4k (or even full hd) netflix on Linux can be an absolute nightmare. I'm pretty sure that's just because of lack of good hardware acceleration support on Linux because I tried everything. Also the battery life isn't quite there yet on my machine :(.

I think I will be switching back to Linux soon, upgrade my ram and just run a Windows VM for those rare occasions I need it.
I love this.

When I was learning to program games in my teens on the Atari 8-bit, one of my favorite passtimes was making fonts and sprites. This takes me right back in time. And I can use it for mini game assets, maybe tiny raster fonts for code (like log windows). Thanks for making it and sharing.
I think most people are in a major car accident at some point in their life. Major doesn't mean death.
Seems like a blatant conflict of interest and misappropriation of company funds.

He not only stole from the Hertz and from the bank, but he also stole from every US citizen because that credit was printed out of thin air by the bank when it was loaned to Hertz... The creation of this debt diluted the value of the dollar for every citizen of the US... Then that credit went to Icahn while he knew perfectly well that he was running this company straight into the ground.

This is definitely fraud.

In my (admittedly anecdotal) experience, I lose about a day a year to weird Linux quirks, and I run an extremely non-standard setup that has accumulated over the course of the last ~20 years. Back when I was using a Mac full-time, (~2010ish), I lost much more than that to things not working the way I needed them to. While I'll freely admit that a large part of this is that I have an unusually in-depth knowledge of how Linux works, my knowledge from 20 years ago is still useful, whereas it felt like every OSX update made a big chunk of my knowledge of the internals obsolete. I barely recognize a modern OSX system.
Well, the Minneapolis police union president has just gone off the rails.

I remember back in the 90s Heise's CT magazine used to have really good articles (only in German). The prose is very heavily German with relatively few English words.

Looks like they're still around today.

https://www.heise.de/ct/

In my experience, Germans are less hung up about borrowing English words as-is, probably because they're both Germanic languages.

Speakers of Romance languages (French for instance) are more hesitant. The French generally insist on localizing borrowed terms -- l'ordinateur (computer), logiciel (software), etc. And these are actually used in real life.
A typical city bus weighs 8-10x more than of a car and causes a multiple of that in pavement wear. There are many cases where a car would be the more efficient option. The only question is what the car is doing when you aren’t in it.
That reminds me... It used to be fun to search about oneself, all kinds of weird references used appear.

Now there is just spam.
Good point. Dig out that old kindle!
Maybe part of the problem is that Facebook and Twitter are positioning themselves both as social networks and as media outlets.

As a social network, they should protect users from obscenity and hate speech, but as a media outlet they really shouldn't editorialize.

In some sense, at least as I see it, there's a big difference between following a friend or coworker versus following Trump or some celebrity.
Loved the shots of PDW rounds silently penetrating the interior of the Roci and then leaving just as silently via the other wall as they'd removed the atmosphere to avoid pressure blowouts in the event of a puncture.

google's frankly arbitrary ranking system

Oh, it's anything but arbitrary. It's totally strategic, which is why people pushing back against them being able to dictate web policies is exactly the right thing to do.

I now see people link these "amp" web links, where the domain you are linking to isn't the domain you are trying to reach.

That's one step away from somebody seeing

paypal.ampstuff.com

and thinking it's ok and then getting ripped off.

No.
Wouldn't Tesla say "you should have had your hands on the wheel, therefore it's not Autopilot's fault"?
The post above cites "arrests (all crimes) a year", not reports.
Amazon did this for a long time. I don't know if they still do.

We can all take a moment of silence to curse at Justice Burger, who while he may have done a good thing in Lemon v. Kurtzman, really screwed the pooch in Milliken v. Bradley
One of my favorites is to build a DRBG; download one of the NIST DRBG specifications and try to implement it and have your implementation's output match the test vectors.

You'll be building cryptography without having to design or build the underlying foundational layers. It's actually a lot harder to compose these things then it first seem. Then as you go, try to understand where every single limit in the DRBG specifications come from. Those will teach you a lot about how security factors are worked out.

Plus it's hard; and it gets you into that phase of making big dark numbers match other big dark numbers. It's a very unforgiving form of programming.

DDG also gives google results. If it grows in adoption it might get better than the two is what I think. If not, some other search engine is welcome, something better than google and bing
Autopilot means automatic pilot to every layperson on the street. It doesn't mean maintain heading at this altitude under these specific circumstances. It means the plane flies itself.

It's like trying to argue that a smartphone is a computer. Technically it is but nobody other than those from a technology background would agree.
I'm very not comfortable with camera-only and no-sensor approaches in self-driving cars. While they can train a neural network with millions or even billions of sample images from real-life tests, I do think they're still bound to fail in some corner cases. Remember FB's face detection that turned out failed to detect faces of people of certain races? I think there's still some possibilities that NN in self-driving cars would fail to recognize some corner cases such as a grandma crossing a street with particularly unique combination of clothes and colors.
Sounds like a solution that fits your needs. The topics you deal with probably fit that idea perfectly.

I would make it more generic. Have the user provide his system specs and give them the option to filter out what is or isn't reasonable for them.

I use: 1) a decent desktop, 2) a phone with reasonable specs, 3) a laptop with shit poor specs

a) 400 mbit cable, b) free wifi (crazy slow), c) my ISP provides wifi hotspots that are reasonably fast, d) a prepaid wireless plan where 10 euro equals 1 GB

Shortcomings/experience is pretty obvious with each combination. The laptop (to pick just one) cant reasonably open a google search result, the duck works just fine, fb messenger works too, it can download and play HD videos. Most significant but not all that obvious, it has a qwerty keyboard with which I can write substantial amounts of text. If the search result was tailored for this I could see myself use forums and blogs (with comment sections) over prepaid tethering. It's webcam is unsuitably poor.

Edit: pay 5 cents to view a clean page in stead of 1 euro bandwidth to freeze my client all of a sudden seems a fantastic deal.

Yeah, no thanks. And much less when you're taking a side. I mean, I know you're a Mozilla project after all, but eeek.
These will eventually bitrot and be completely worthless from a historical standpoint.

>Sure, but that code is generally tied to a license

That's a whataboutist tangent, but let's entertain it for a while.

The copyright law is usually restrictive, in the form of "everything which is not explicitly allowed is forbidden", and some of the openings - like Fair Use - are somewhat contentious. Thus a specially crafted free license is used to make the work legally accessible & reusable in an unambiguous way in such legal environment.

A free license for software is generally used to unambiguously establish the legal status - that simplifies dealing, especially for organizations and professionals. It effectively increases ability to access and re-use the software [1].

A license & copyright information is used to convey authorship and guarantee certain author's rights, like the right to attribution. Some licenses (eg. copyleft) are also used to prevent certain misuses (eg. tivoization), again with aim of increasing availability of the software for access and re-use.

Conversely, releasing into public domain (which is a limited legal concept, not available in certain countries) runs with the risk of somebody else slapping a restrictive license on the code and making it unavailable via legal mechanisms.

Free licensing is not only about improving availability and protecting the author and the reuser, it's also about preventing subsequent yanking of the code via machinations by a 3rd party.

While those concerns are valid and need taking care of, pretty sure they aren't at the stake in the IA vs book authors discussion. They aren't mentioned in the OP either.

>In fact, people here on HN and other communities very much oppose people taking things without permission. I challenge you to demonstrate otherwise with your own repositories.

Ah yes, a challenge to prove a negative. I'll rise to it right after solving the halting problem :^)
> artificial constraints on supply there is on housing

I mean this sounds good and all, but in practice property owners are at the forefront of restrictive zoning regulations too.

Have you ever worked in a distributed system? If not, try one. If yes but you don't feel it hard, try improving its reliability/availability/scalability/performance/latency/debuggability/observability/consistency one order of magnitude (e.g. one more 9 in addition to 5 9s) at a time with one order of magnitude more distribution (e.g. spreading a global service to 10x more clusters/data centers).
Me too, I got my engineering degree in Germany in 92 but moved to the US right after. At this point I really struggle to communicate anything technical in German and even while I lived there CS lingo was notoriously mixed.
