Holy shit your arrogance is off the fucking _CHAINS_.

Not only have you failed miserably at that goal (this site is comically predictable with it's politics; and it's also trivially easy to game); but your head is so far up your ass that you think you did something that nobody else did.

Wow.

You are a much worse and much stupider person than I thought you were; and I already thought you were nothing but an absolute fucking useless sycophant who is hoping that moderating this site will eventually result in pg/sama giving you a role that has carry.

Trump turned military on their own citizens after dissidence, instead of trying to calm shit down.

Someone told you, not on paper of course but it's not a stretch to believe.

Whats easy to believe is the insane underlining racism that exists in the US. Leader of the world ? I think my Grandfather who was a lil racist (innocently enough in my upbringing. Wouldn't shop at a chinese store etc, never would act on it. Never. I imagine he'd turn his grave at the US.

The US is probably up there with the most racist country on the planet. That's insane. Might be a close cut though with Russia.

All that said, let it sink in, you've a leader who just turned the military on US citizens.

The America of the land of the free and brave.. Kinda doesn't apply anymore.

Well done America. You destroyed the ideal of what you sold everyone (that works better elsewhere).

Been nice knowing you. Enjoy.
I work for a company that provides software and hardware for police agencies across America.

I have been trying to think of ways to help. Some thoughts:

1. Publicly track the FOIA status of video evidence at a given agency

2. Verify the authenticity of videos floating around on the internet

3. Create a way for citizens to verify the identities of officers in an area who use our technology

4. Put out a public portal on the capabilities of body cameras by agency: what exactly they record, how and when officers can disable them, and more
Fun fact, I was born without a sense of smell. Texture is a huge part of my enjoyment of food -- probably obviously -- and what caused the OP revulsion are things I enjoy, as another first-hand anecdote.
I see where you, the parent, the grandparent, and the article are all coming from. Initially, I thought that it might have been a confusion about the word riot, but a riot requires violence [0]. Instead, I think the point of contention is whether or not peaceful protests can continue to be held once rioting starts. Within a specific time and a specific place, I can see the answer being no if the group of peaceful protesters do not separate and move elsewhere to continue protesting peacefully. However, I disagree with the notion that violent outbursts by others disqualifies or disallows the peaceful protestors from continuing to protest overall if the reason for their protest remains ongoing.

If that sort of disqualification is allowed, then what would stop others from performing violent acts in an attempt to derail the peaceful protests? The G20 protests in Toronto come to my mind [1][2]. One person found that some people who were arrested had the same boots as the police arresting them; however, this source might be biased [3]. This sort of operation is known as a false flag [4].

To be fair, Tesla has for years now been pushing the fact that Autopilot doesn't mean you can sit back and let the car drive, and "Full Self Driving" is the term for that. Now that Full Self Driving doesn't look like it will live up to its name (not saying Teslas wont ever be fully self-driving, but the product they marketed as FSD to the first buyers of FSD are clearly never going to enable L4), they are saying FSD is just a collection of features in that direction, and "robotaxi" is the next word they seem to mean "really really self-driving." Given the nonsensical timelines Musk has been giving, they'll have to find a way to subvert the expectations of that word too.
Not anymore. Was for a while (and also other platforms) but hasn’t been purchasable in IIRC several years. Though I’d forgotten it was for a while. Still, aside from iOS even those consoles are old enough that I’m trying to find new platforms for all the games I play in them, so I can get rid of ‘em.
Looks cool, but the market around godot is rather very small now and all the games made on Godot tend to very small, hobby-ish, not very monetization ready, thus make your potential customers are a very minority.

Of course someone may want to show case his games and host them on the platform, all in all a cool project and hope one day it takes off!

Why should they have to not "sustain themselves?" If a reader wants to read what an author puts out, maybe they should be allowed to be subject to advertising so that the author doesn't have to pay for it.
Perhaps we are all being loose with terminology, but the article used the term "why" not "how".

The question is why, not how.

In hindsight, we can question the decision-making.
> You don't need to go to university. We will always need garbage collectors and street sweepers, and remember, anyone can write bad software.

A couple of points:

- going to college has nothing to do with whether you can write good software. Even CS grads do a ton of learning on the job, and lots of great developers started as hobbyists or came in from unrelated fields.

- Going to University doesn't guarantee you a good job. When I waited tables, I knew busboys with masters degrees.

- You can get hired (even for senior / principal level roles) without a degree. The degree doesn't mean you are good at what you do, and so it's often not a factor in hiring.

The exception is junior positions which are easier to get with a degree, but this discrepancy vanishes after you break into the industry.
They also need to maintain resale value when they decide to let the property go. These are investment vehicles first. Homes second.
I had another question, somewhat unrelated - how do you do naming if you're programming? In German you can just build a long word without spaces in between, so do you still do camel/snake casing to split them up?
This is pretty reductionist and dismissive. Being an utterly pure pacifist is awesome, but it's hard to believe you actually think the violence question is a solvable problem that can arrive at a place where there is never another argument.
I don't know why you single out white business owners. ALL business owners should be looking into social media history and criminal history of every person they want to hire. There's nothing racist about figuring out if your potential employee has previously taken part of riots and looting to make a hiring decision. It's fucked up indeed, but hey...they made their choices. Jordans and gucci now, future on hold.
its an interesting problem.

remove the digital aspect, how would we the community or the law react to someone organizing mass pamphlet drops saying the same inflammatory things?

I suspect we wouldn't do anything except put a sign up individually saying "no pamphlets...

Yes definitely. They collect the IP address and a browser fingerprint at the very least.

I'm not sure if this is doable by proxying through the server, so only custom events (with an unrelated IP - the server's one) are sent.
It is hard to believe that 100mb of payload is needed to show me same amounts of ads on a page. Merely optimising that without even changing your ad volume /model would go miles in establishing the trust that had been lost.

Pretty much - I started work before even internal email was a thing, so everything was done on paper. And often hand-written paper at that. Hell, I made the first Word template for a work-item ticket! Before that we had custom forms to fill out.

Even better, the developers worked in a different building to our users, so there would often be a couple of days lag to getting a response. If you needed a quicker answer, you had to phone them, or schedule a meeting if you needed to explain something in more detail.
I do not see programming language as English. Sure it may use alphabet and borrow some english word but to me it still hardly english.
It's different to dislike it from a tactical perspective and to morally condemn it.

"They asked if our own nation wasn’t using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted.

It's cheaper to ship materials to Low Earth Orbit from Mars, than it is to ship those same materials from earth. Can you imagine our current space industry (worth billions of dollars) could be operated from Mars? If there was a settlement on Mars, they could do it for approximately 2/3 of the (fuel) cost of doing it from Earth.

Of course, an industry established at a moon settlement could do it for even less. :-P (1/4)
Let's leave the political jabs out of HN and keep this civil.

Realistically, the US isn't trying to kill their grandmas.
The right uses 'Antifa' as a catch all term for anyone on the left doing anything they don't like. It's a meaningless label, but not enough people get that.
The problem is that people seem to want Facebook and/or the government to decide what is real information or not.

It seems like there are two major hurdles. First people need to be informed about history and reality to really see why having Facebook and the government decide what is true or not is a bad idea.

The second big hurdle is, we actually do need to do _something_ to reduce the amount of wanton spread of disinformation and propaganda by many groups online. It's not as easy as many people think it is, because unfortunately all governments and large companies do it quite a bit, and having those types of institutions simply dictate reality is just as bad as for example, having Amazon have complete control of the product listings on its site when they also market competing products. It's the fox guarding the hen house.
Yes I would say so if it’s something you’d avoid. It’s one of those things where if you’re going to ignore all of the warnings and agreements when you get the car... how is that not negligent on the drivers behalf? Normal ACC doesn’t always stop either but no one yells at those cars. My Passat and egolf would all the time fail to stop when traffic was at a stand still.
Exactly this.

FBI doesn't want to investigate LAPD. They need LAPD, down the line, when there's some case for which they'll need cooperation.

What's needed is a Federal policing agency tasked with investigating and prosecuting police misconduct. That's the whole remit; police misconduct is their alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.
People are already moving out of places like NYC and SF, buying up houses in the surrounding burbs. It would be nice to believe that people will just forget this in a few months, but unfortunately that's just not going happen. You couple that with companies' newfound comfort with remote work, and you're looking at a long-term slump in investment in urban cores.
"But still, on most of the local systems, we don't have a DNS server and we have to remember the IP addresses of the systems."

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding this, but why would your systems not have access to a local DNS server? My routers respond just fine to DNS queries for "hostname.local"-like requests without using something like mDNS.

Well that's a very rude comment. You are also using false equivalence to halt any discourse on the matter. Doesn't seem very safe.
There's a notable time gap between the time when the autopilot should start braking at a reasonable rate, and the last possible time when a full-strength brake will be sufficient. That time gap should be sufficient for an attention-paying human to apply the brakes.

I am however, doubtful think it's really reasonable for humans to have this expectation of 100% attentiveness given an autopilot that 99.9% of the time doesn't crash into things .

That's like saying humans have consciousness, so strong AI is at least very plausible. Possible, sure? Possible in the next decade? Probably not.
They don't oppose fascism. Antifa is literally fascism and differs only in its mandate of which speech is allowed and which is not. Indeed the mechanism which you see in all totalitarian movement, from Nazis to ISIS. It's completely at odds with democracy and free speech.
No, it's not tautological.

QI applies if the government employee shows they acted reasonably in exercising discretion in performing their job. It doesn't matter whether or not there's no precedent.

Cases saying where QI applies, like the pepper spray case, exist because nobody knew beforehand if it applied to the use of pepper spray. And if you read the case, it was the policy of that police force to use pepper spray. Thus, the question boiled down to whether it was reasonable the officer to use pepper spray in that situation. The police force is the proper defendant in that case, not the individual officer.

Which is likely how Gauvin will walk, since despite killing person being illegal, there are no suitable court precedents ruling with sufficient specificity that a government agent killing a person is illegal

That's both ridiculous, wrong, and clearly FUD. Within the past year several cops have been found guilty of murder or homicide for the illegal use of force resulting in the death of someone. It's very likely that Gauvin will plead guilty to avoid a trial and secure a reduced sentence, because if he risks a trial he would be sentenced to life in prison if he's found guilty. (To walk, he'd need to convince 12 people that he isn't guilty; a hung jury would just result in a re-trial.)
The President of the United States still has a Press Secretary who still presents press releases to journalists and takes their questions. They probably also manage the official Twitter account for the White House.

Edit/Update: one thing we do have to remember is that the President is tweeting with his own personal Twitter account.

I've been using Debian for about 4 years now. Before that I was a Ubuntu user. Before that, Windows. Never looked back. Great distro. Highly recommend it.
I keep hearing this from the mainstream, while at the same time politicians keep going on TV saying things that aren't true, or are misleading. I think the politicians are using tactics from the "how to stop riots" playbook, but they don't work in a world where information flows freely. Probably the best example of this is how the authorities in Minnesota lied about 80% of protestors being from out of state, and when someone went through the arrest records they found this was entirely false, and that in fact the vast majority were from MN, and most were locals[0].

They've been trying to use this tactic elsewhere (I've been hearing it from de Blasio and Cuomo), but I don't think it'll work anymore. Politicians don't want to acknowledge that the riots are the result of angry citizens acting out in the only way they have the power to act, which is through disorderly conduct, because the system doesn't work for them.

As I write this, I can hear concussion grenades going off outside my window (I live in the middle of Manhattan) for the 5th or 6th night in a row. Every night I've watched thousands of unarmed peaceful protestors march by, demanding action. Meanwhile the NYPD is out in full military gear firing chemical weapons and rubber bullets indiscriminately at anyone who looks at them the wrong way.

I guess my point is that the disinformation is coming from the officials too, so everyone needs to look hard at real evidence before jumping to any conclusions. Please don't fall for the appeal to authority fallacy.

Yes, but police are functionally just wannabe soldiers, without the actual training.

They want to beat people up.

They want to be tough guys who have no consequences.

Talking about how to fix policing means nothing until:

* police go to jail

* officers who do not report other officers go to jail

* bosses/chiefs etc who are aware of abuses of power and brutality and do not arrest those officers go to jail

* police are tested regularly to ensure they actually know the law, and psychologically tested to ensure that they can still be safely an officer

* restrictions on officer IQ are made illegal

* police union members who are aware of misconduct and fail to report it go to jail

* all lawsuits are settled with funds from police pension funds

* dismissal or jail due to misbehavior bans the former officer from ever being part of any law enforcement, body guard, or security position.

* police officers are required to get malpractice insurance. The tax payer should not be paying for criminal behavior.

Talking about training when the entire police system is designed to ensure police have no culpability is pointless.
But it was true. They were protesting on Melrose and in Santa Monica in LA and also doing some looting and property damage, and on the news there was a black protestor saying that previously rioting had been occurred in black neighborhoods, but now they were deliberately targeting upscale white neighborhoods so they could not be ignored.
