Against a tyrannical, non-representative government, and it was a last-ditch effort.

We have a democracy. People have opportunities to vote. Police policy is decided largely at the local level, so individual votes are powerful. Imagine if even 10% of protesters voted in their local elections...
Yes you are correct. Use diffing here actually very similar to VDOM libraries. It was more performant(and consistent) than just propagating the change purely through manipulation of a proxy. Especially if you consider things like batching.
Well I didn't say you couldn't fight. My proposal includes confiscation. Assume very aggressive pursuit of criminals with an unlicensed firearms. Like multi-county dragnet with blocked roads. Like we get O(100) cops for one gun. Most criminals will just probably keep it to cold arms.
And for even more relevant comparison.

MacBook Pro 2019, MacBook Air 2020, and and previous MacBook has always charged $200 for 16GB or 512GB upgrade.

And the original $100 dollar upgrade was very non-Apple.

Which makes me think it was an error from their part and they decide to fix it at start of the month due to whatever accounting / operation reason.
> 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 If police were operating under QI and QI is later repealed, changing the law's interpretation of their behavior after-the-fact to find them liable is ex post facto law.

No, it's not: ex post facto is a term of art for retroactive criminalization; QI applies only to civil liability. Retrospective enhancements to civil liability are not Constitutionally prohibited.

If a DMV agent is depriving you of your rights or mistreating you in some tortious way, why shouldn't you be able to sue that DMV agent? I'm not necessarily against government offices providing legal services to help defend their employees (AFAIK that's common for public school teachers and employees), but why shouldn't you be able to sue the person who is committing the tortious act?
I imagine there will be lawsuits on effective rent vs published rent. Imagine paying an official rent of $2400 but you get an extra month free for every rent payment. Your effective rent is then $1200. These types of teasers aren't within the spirit of the law. In fact, maybe they are already prohibited in the statute.

honest question, why don't the funding partners agree to buy-back shares on a schedule while the company is private? it would be an effective mechanic for providing deferred compensation while also providing employees liquidity and methods for VCs, PEs, and other funding partners to increase holdings.
> saying that the police walks in the street killing random black people is also unproductive

It's unfortunately true though. We have seen countless examples in the last few years alone where the victim was murdered by a cop. And those are only the ones that were recorded and managed to go viral.
I would say that the moral hazard introduced by qualified immunity increases the likelihood that criminal violations will also occur.

Weeding out the officers that would commit infractions that result in civil suits will probably also weed out those that would actual commit a more serious crime.
This sent chills down my spine.

We don't have much time left.

We know that global warming is forcing many animals around the world to flee their normal habitats, but now, an exhaustive analysis has shown marine species are booking it for the poles six times faster than those on land.

Drawing together 258 peer-reviewed studies, researchers compared over 30,000 habitat shifts in more than 12,000 species of bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals.

The resulting database, named BioShifts, is the first comprehensive analysis of its kind, and while the database is limited by our own, human research biases, the data we have certainly suggests marine species are following global thermal shifts much closer than land animals.

...

In the review, amphibians were found to be moving up slope at over 12 metres a year, while reptiles seem to be headed towards the equator at 6.5 metres a year.

Insects, which incidentally carry many diseases, were found to be moving poleward at 18.5 kilometres per year.

Relatively, that's a lot, but in the bigger picture, marine species were moving towards the poles at an average pace of nearly 6 kilometres per year, while land animals were only shifting upslope at a mean pace of nearly 1.8 metres per year (slightly faster than previous estimates for land species, but still comparatively slow).
this is something to consider in the future. Why would that be better than a good qualiy pic of the workspace which someone wants to share?
Or a crane?

QI was invented by the courts and should be fixed there if possible.

Hopefully this law passes, but even it doesn't the court should still reverse the previous interpretation.
I wanted to point out that there are more problems with police work than simply that 'bad cops' can't be held responsible for hurting people (on account of qualified immunity). The deeper problem is that people who need help are frequently gratuitously harmed, and that our system of justice is a make-work program for lawyers and prison guards [0].

While I agree that police work attracts a certain personality type, there are plenty of good cops too.

I was pulled over by a friendly Scottsdale cop once. I'd just accepted a fare, pulled out of the parking lot I'd been waiting, then flipped my headlights on. A vehicle did a U-turn right behind me, 'shit that's a cop...' The cop bounced over. Instead of asking for a confession (DO YOU KNOW WHY I PULLED YOU OVER?), he said "I PULLED YOU OVER BECAUSE YOUR HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF." I responded simply, "they're on now." The cop was surprised, walked to the front of the taxi to inspect, found the headlights were indeed on, trudged back defeated, then gave me the standard "license and registration" treatment. We chatted for a bit, then they let me go.

Another time a sheriff was right behind me when I pulled into a bar's parking lot. He gave the standard DO YOU KNOW WHY I PULLED YOU OVER? I said I had a few ideas. The sheriff informed of the stop sign I didn't even realize I'd missed. He gave me a written warning.

> That said, I'm not really sure what you mean by 'auto-immune drug war', as the 'war on drugs' doesn't specifically target immuno-suppressants.

IMHO the drug war is basically a societal auto-immune condition, where our population destructively attacks itself. Instead of recognizing people's actual problems (poverty, stress, genetic problems, etc), the justice system provides imprisonment in a futile effort to motivate people to stop hurting themselves. I remember going to my one passenger's drug court hearing [0]. The judge had done her homework on all the people who appeared before her. She was very stern with many of them: 'I hope 90 days in jail will be enough time to motivate you to get your act together'.

When she got to my passenger, though, she was like, 'you've really pulled yourself together... But you missed court 2.5 years ago, and I have no option but to punish you.' She gave him 30 days in jail, with work release. When I picked him up after his 30 days, all his worldly possessions had been disposed of on account of his eviction while serving the 30 days. "I can't believe I have to start over from nothing, again"

Umm... while they can't withhold your security deposit, squatting someone's in-law unit is obviously immoral. It's not your property, if they want it back, you have to move. Holding them hostage for $10k is scummy.
An inside look into the operation of the Supreme Court is Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong's "The Brethren" [1], which covers the years 1969-1975.

There's a surprising amount of persuasion, negotiation, and coalition-building in order to find the votes to grant cert or hold a majority. It's interesting to see how the interpersonal dynamics among the Justices influence decisions.

An example of this is looking for unanimous decisions to send a strong message, whether it is for school desegregation:

> Since 1954, the Court had always been unanimous in school cases, its strong commands to desegregate joined by every member. For fifteen years, the Justices had agreed that it was essential to let the South know that not a single Justice believed in anything less than full desegregation.

or to reject Nixon's executive privilege claims in Watergate [2]:

> The Nixon challenge had to be met in the strongest way possible. An eight-signature opinion would do it [...] The country would benefit from such a show of strength now.

These decisions required significant reconciliation between the original ideas of the Justices. They don't operate in a vacuum of law study. The Muhammad Ali draft dodging case [3] also demonstrates this, where a 4-4 deadlock is turned into a unanimous 8-0 decision centered around a technical error which would not set precedent - the book describes Burger as considering that "it might be interpreted as a racist vote" if he dissented.

Like the link, I am also curious about why these delays have occurred, especially the most recent one. Wildly speculating, maybe the Court does not want to appear too politically activist in this moment; or maybe the members are trying to find consensus for their preferred outcome before granting cert at all. One other option, though I hope it's not this one:

> [Stevens] said, it was "pointless" to grant cert only to have the majority reaffirm its well-known view [regarding Liles v Oregon, an obscenity case].

SBA backed mortgage payment forgiveness is only for 6 months. Which program offers 1 years of mortgage payment forgiveness?
On a related note, the finance-related apps on my phone all offer me the option to sign in with a fingerprint sensor. Arguably you have two forms of authentication there: the presence of the physical device itself (using the secure element or whatever it is), as well as the biometric identifier (fingerprint scanner).

Neither of those are present when logging into your bank from its website, and I would also suspect that jailbreaking a phone significantly reduces the trust you can have in either.

Also, from a bank's perspective, all they care about is reducing their liability, without inconveniencing too many customers. In that context, it makes a lot of sense for banks to disallow their products from being used on jailbroken phones.
My water heater was out of service for a few weeks (long story) and so I was taking cold showers every day and/or night for the better part of a month.

They were refreshing. I'm not sure I'm willing to bet the farm on their medicinal properties, but they jolted me awake and I felt good afterwords.

The cold shower itself pretty much sucked, and so I would do everything I could to minimize the amount of time in there. Which probably isn't great hygiene-wise.

Nowadays I'll take a cold shower here and there, but most of the time I go with lukewarm-to-warm temp showers.
I've been using pipenv happily for a few years now, but on projects that don't have a huge number of dependencies (Django, DRF, MySQL/Postgres, AWS, Kubernetes, a few other random libraries), and haven't seen too much slowness. I suppose data-science projects with large dependencies that pull in many other dependencies might have more issues.

I've been the person to document setting up development environments for others in macOS (and Homebrew) with a view to deploying in Linux, and pipenv (and pyenv, and Docker/docker-compose for setting up software context/datasets) definitely overall minimized the complexity for those configuring their dev environments.

(EDIT: documenting dev enviroments)
How did Amazon "show" that?

Amazon's bottom line might not have been that great, but most of the difference from the top-line regularly consisted of dumping money into expenditures in areas that were pushing huge revenue growth.

It seems like people are suggesting analysts are dumb and didn't really dig beyond a basic top-line vs bottom-line glance when discussing Amazon's business model.

Ah but if the defendant is later found innocent or charges dropped, who is sued to recover the property? The police officer or the department. Presumably the department because deeper pockets etc.
If it wasn't for social media you would only see what the corporate press wanted you to see, framed how they wanted it framed, blamed on who they wanted it blamed on. We're winning.

(paraphrased from Michael Malice)
> shields police

shields police officers, not police departments.

The part I don't understand is that does QI prevent or chill suing departments (which have more money than officers), who then could sue officers for exceeded their job duties?

Besides the dependency management, another major problem of Python is the deployment. Although Docker is not a dependency management tool, it can be used as a deployment tool which encapsulates the application to be deployed, python runtime and all other shared libraries dependencies alongside the configuration. Another deployment tool that is worth mentioning is Pyinstaller. It can pack the python runtime, the application and all dependencies into a single native executable. Pyinstaller is better for Desktop applications and for building single file executable applications.

> Further, Congress has the ability to move much faster than SCOTUS: a bill could be passed on less than a month in Congress while it will take at least a year for SCOTUS to reach a decision.

Congress has the _power_ to act faster, but not always the ability.

This is a problem entirely of judicial making. While I agree that Congress _should_ clean up the mess, this isn't one for the justices to punt on. They created the problem, they should pick it up as soon as they are able to.
Okay, then why doesn't that happen in analogous non-government situations? Why doesn't every construction company sue a developer every time they don't get given a new contract? Why doesn't every job interviewee sue every company that doesn't hire them? Surely the legal system has some mechanism for dealing with this. I do think there should be some mechanism for short-circuiting preposterous lawsuits, and I think it should be available to everyone.
It depends on what segment of the car buying populace you're looking at. I work in the used car sale industry, and our business has been pretty flat over the past couple months. The companies I work with typically do the no credit check "buy here pay here" subprime financing thing. Defaults and repossessions have always been common in that segment, and the typical customer is working a job that has been part of the essential group (a lot of lower paid food/service work).

Those with good credit and a reliable if not older working car probably aren't buying cars much right now, but these people definitely are.

Good point -- appellate courts have been known to make rulings of the effect "this govt employee gets qualified immunity, but future govt employees are put on notice," but this is far from every case.
I think a word of caution should be provided. The sort of spin-lock used here while may appear to work in the vast majority of scenarios, the forward progress guarantee required doesn't exists on all (or even many) modern GPUs. It's entirely possible for the thread holding the lock to get suspended, and never resume due to another thread spinning while waiting on the lock.

I really like Tobias, and think they are doing some great stuff on The Machinery, but I think he should (and eventually will be forced to) reconsider how he is implementing picking.
Why shouldn't it also be invalid in an analogous non-government situation?
Political ads are a tiny portion of FB revenues, just around 0.5%. In fact, they may be losing money on this as it needs a lot of manual moderation
What an incredible way for a company to signal that they only want sycophants. Good on you for pointing out what probably should have been obvious to them.
Some things to watch out for:

#1 Be wary of late stage private companies offering large ISO grants, these grants are absolutely worthless as long as the valuation does not exceed FMV (fair market valuation) at time of grant.

#2 (ISOs) Start date FMV is not grant date FMV, I got burned by taking an offer at a startup where the implied valuation of the ISO options shot up dramatically after my start date, 400x by the time the board met and issued options after my start date(the companies valuation only went down from this peak).

#3 (ISOs) Make sure that the exercise window is a few years after you leave the company, given alot of large unicorns take 7-10 years to go public you don't want to get into a situation where you join a company, its valuation shoots up, and are either let go or take another job and are forced to exercise 100's of thousands of ISOs(in 30 to 90 days) leading to a mammoth tax bill which gains may not be realized(think weWork and its dramatic collapse) and you are still on the hook for this come tax time.

I'd chalk this up to dependency management and resolution being a hard problem.

Ruby's bundler had these exact same issues 5 or so years ago. I remember attending a talk by on Bundler run by it's core devs and asking about how they make dep resolution faster. Turns out that it was never really a solved problem there either, Bundler just uses a bunch of heuristics to avoid cases like the 18 minute `Pipefile.lock` described above.
China has been interested in forceful reunification with Taiwan for ages. Their military has drafted up plans to retake the island numerous times over the years.

Hong Kong has largely served its purpose as a liaison to the West. So it isn't surprising that China wants to reunify with them as well.
