> Making their life financially more difficult just pushes them more into clickbait and yellow journalism.

Clickbait is explicitly caused by advertising - it's right there in the name, it's there to drive clicks, the content itself is secondary.

If advertising becomes unsustainable then other business models will take over. At the moment subscribing to news websites is too expensive because 1) we don't have an easy to use micropayment system and 2) they are greedy and charge way more than what they would get in ad revenue.
Here is the previously mentioned billboard for reference:

Now that I've seen the billboard in question, I'd say I was spot on. Especially the parts about design and placement.
This is what I find most troubling.

I don't mind if there's a disruption. But I do mind needlessly inciting chaos for the purpose of creating mayhem. We don't know this person, yet, but as AG Ellison said in his tweet he looks like he's just there to provoke.

That's where the message gets lost.
That sounds nice to radicals and perhaps functions well as something they tell themselves to excuse violent tendencies, but in reality it just disgusts the vast majority of law abiding people, as is the case with the current protests. Public opinion is quickly turning from sympathy to disgust.
Apply that same question to every other type of police surveillance. Why is this materially different?
> ruled that Twitter absolutely may not remove his account

I just skimmed through that ruling, and couldn't find this. Could you cite where she ruled that twitter couldn't remove his account?
From my experience having been arrested and held like this before: No. They don't even have to attest to probable cause until the 24-hr limit hits, in which case they will then formally arrest you by taking you to be fingerprinted, a reading of Miranda, etc along with paperwork containing the attestation of probable cause, or let you go, again, with a pile of paperwork, and sometimes both, in which case they arrest you formally, give you paperwork, and an issued summons to appear in court before sending you on your way.
Debian (especially the main branch, 'stable') is as the name implies highly stable, secure though? Definitely not! Outdated kernel, outdated libraries, very long release cycle: you can't backport every security fix for 3 years while the rest of the ecosystem is rapidly progressing.

Industry wants Long Term Support, but rolling release (or for increased stability 'short' (< 1 year) release cycles) are the way to go when it comes to security.
What does "history" mean? The suffering of innocent bystanders in past riots is history. In a year the innocent bystanders of these riots will be "only history".

Many of the immigrants who have created new businesses in the US have experienced terrible histories themselves, but they have been able to put these behind them, because their antagonists are not in the US.

I don't think historic injustices should be simply ignored, but the problem is even more severe when the systemic abuses your community is experiencing is not only in the past, not only occurring in the moment, but there is realistic prospect that conditions will to improve.

Private companies militarizing police forces never face liability, and sworn, armed officers belong to unions, and neither of those seems on a course to changing.

It is a completely untenable situation for American citizens to be extra-judiciously killed by government employees. Rioting doesn't help, peaceful protests don't help, you can't even respectfully kneel during the national anthem without being treated as though you're rejecting everything about the country. Petitions? Hunger strikes? Self-immolation?

Yes.

> I actually wish that our own PM had done the same.

That would be bad.

They are also bad.

What is better is to have a functional police system that responds proportionately.
I think it's because the only really meaningful experience you have with a mosquito is when it kills you via malaria.
I'd be curious to know a little bit more about what exactly you're referencing here. This does not in any way describe my experience with Twitter, though I understand that's a single anecdote.

"In the next couple decades", oh, a couple million would die, until maybe we'll have something else (or not). You have no right to make that choice.

The only reason people are even thinking about it, is because it doesn't affect the West. That's callousness masquerading as environmentalism. %$#@! the ecosystem* . People are more important.

> It's just temporarily prohibited for the duration of an emergency for the products related to that emergency.

How is a Nintendo Switch related to the COVID-19 emergency? If it counts because "people are bored" then what wouldn't fall under related to COVID-19?
Whether administrators are considered underpaid or overpaid relative to industry depends on what industry jobs you consider comparable. Readily available comparisons tend to be prepared by administrators themselves. There is an obvious bias here.

If the comparisons were fair, then I would expect to see university administrators switching back and forth to industry, with salaries going up and down, and for them to offer reasons both ways as to why they did so. That expectation is based on what we actually DO see happen with professors in employable subjects like computer science and engineering. However we DON'T see it happen administrators.

I therefore conclude that administrators are worth less to industry than they think they should be. Which fits with my opinion that they are worth less to education than their pay suggests. And fits with my further opinion that the current growth in number and salary of university administrators is unsustainable and is a luxury that our society cannot afford. Particularly the part of our society that is university graduates with crushing loan debt - which are the people who paid for those administrators and did not receive sufficient benefit from it for the debts that they bear.
> It seems like everyday the country is falling further into the pit of becoming an authoritarian police state.

Let's be honest, the country is voting to become an authoritarian police state. US voters have historically had a flirtatious relationship with strong authoritarian style presidents. Trump just more openly so than others. When you look at voting patterns over the last 40 years, it's pretty clear we've been trending in this direction for quite awhile.
And justice was done in that case. In the next Minneapolis case, Philando Castile, a black man, it wasn't.

Again, the rioting isn't a good thing, but it's understandable.
> Police helicopters don't have hellfire missiles as standard optional armament.

I mean, they could. And firefighting planes could be rerigged to disperse chemical weapons, doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them existing.

>Also police helicopters are operated by local/state forces. This is a federal agency which is way out of its jurisdiction.

I'm guessing it's on loan. It's hardly unusual or questionable for the feds to provide assistance to local police during periods of extraordinary crisis. However justified the people of Minneapolis may be in reacting this way to yet another police homicide, what else are the local police supposed to do now except try to restore order using whatever tools are available? Including drones that can provide immediate information about hotspots, crowds, fires, etc.
When you arrest or kill a drug dealer, many others come in and fight for his place creating more violence. This is known and shown by studies and every cop's experience ever. They know this and yet they still do it, causing more violence and chaos on the streets, more deaths and more imprisonments. They support keeping things criminalized because many would likely be out of a job, or certainly out of an easy, low-risk job in favor of more difficult, actually useful police work. Police knowingly and intentionally increase violence in the communities they police.

Until we stop criminalizing normal activities, this won't change. The stupidity of the drug war is now clear for all to see. In Colorado and other states you can peacefully walk into a store and buy weed. In a state like Alabama you might spend years in jail for a joint. The stupidity, inhumanity, and cruelty is glaring and disturbing. And the system of violence that is perpetrated by this situation in non-legal states and as regards to other illicit substances starts and ends with the police. They arrest people for breaking windows or some other such nonsense, then throw them in prison, give them a record, and basically turn them into real criminals since they no longer have a chance to contribute to society. The less involvement the police have, the better off society is.

Does it make sense to criminalize jaywalking? We're giving the police a reason to potentially kill someone for crossing the street at the same time. That goes for every petty crime out there. Every single crime that police enforce might require that police use deadly force. Do we want to use deadly force for weed smokers, jaywalkers, and single cigarette sellers? Because that's what the 'broken windows' policy of idiocy advocates. Then we wonder why cops are kneeling on people's necks or choking them out for selling a single cigarette? Because as a society, we condone this and we especially encourage it be done to minorities through the laws we pass, the police we hire, and the rules and procedures we approve for enforcement.
Replace your current emulator install; delete $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator then unzip it there so theres $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator again.

$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT, if not set, should be set to the SDK location in Android Studio > Preferences > Android SDK (SDK path will show up there).

Set it in your ~/.bash_profile too so it's there next time for running the emulator from the command line.

The AVD config.ini can be found in ~/.android/avd/nameofAvd.avd/config.ini .
Yes, that is the whole point of the markets in fact and the reason we allow short-selling. You want information from both sides to be incorporated because it will give you much better price discovery. You want people to figure out that companies are frauds and to tell the world about it and to get people to do that you incentivize them financially by allowing them to go short.

Look at recent private fundraising and VC to see what can happen in markets with no short selling.
I'm reminded of the movie American Animals, where four college students attempt to steal some of Audubon's drawings, and realize that the fencers themselves want a valuation before they're willing to buy.

> They have a fixed life, some number of months, and then they end and, if you still own them, you have to take delivery of oil.

so far so good, this creates stability for companies depending on oil.

> You can build a perpetual strategy around them—buy next month’s futures, wait, and as they get closer to expiry sell them and buy the following month’s futures, etc.—but then the thing you are betting on is not quite the thing you want. You are betting on the relative value of different futures, the shape of the curve, the cost of rolling futures, all this technical stuff.

this looks more like gambling than real economic activity, how does this create new value?

in any case in the end, this is not what the market actually has because "that product is actually impossible to manufacture"
Fair point about my religious-war comment, and I apologize. I was probably deserving of the Smug Lisp Weenie label at one point in my career, and for whatever irrational reason your comment sparked those memories. (For what it's worth, while I don't use Clojure any more (and stopped before the CIDER days) I'm fairly familiar with the language -- I was even a core contributor for a brief shining moment. (I think my contribution was the :as clause in (use) statements. The old (use) clauses used to be horrendously long. No doubt that my code has been replaced 10 times over by now.)) At any rate, it was foolish of me to try suppressing a religious war by inciting one.

As for my argument, I think it was in two points. First was to challenge what evidence you had to support your claims. From your reply, I'm confident from that you're speaking from knowledge of many developers' experiences. Perhaps I am more of a special snowflake than I realized.

As for the second point, I'm basically restating Norvig's argument, as I think it's a good one. I'm not terribly concerned about distinctions between different REPL-ish tools. I do take your point that the distinctions can muddy conversation, e.g. when trying to relate experiences of (say) Jupyter users vs. `python-mode` users -- or worse, Lisp vs. Python.

But to paraphrase (co-opt?) Norvig, I think these are second-order differences. Important enough in a few contexts, but distracting in most. My thesis is simple: everyone should experience interactive programming, and should ideally incorporate it into their development process, because it makes development faster and more effective. Whether that means Jupyter, CIDER, SLIME, ghci, etc. is a local decision, based on where you're at and what your community is; I don't think "REPL" in particular is a special shibboleth of the Enlightened. The difference between the Java/C++/Rust set and the Python/Ruby/CL/Clojure set is far greater than any minor differences we might have within the interactive camp, and "internal" disagreements in front of the unindoctrinated tend to distract from the greater good, IMO.

Any way that we can help new developers to experience interactive programming is a positive step. Personally I think that's the first-order problem, and I think our collective, repeated failure to recognize that is a source of much pointless and religious argument. Perhaps that's why this conversation reminded me of those wasted days, and why I responded with more aggression than I should have.
This is a great suggestion! One of my friends started a Discord server for 50 or so acquaintances and it's been nice to talk to each other even if we aren't seeing each other in person. It feels much more real and personal than most social media sites since it's all people that I know in real life.
Honestly, out of all the things I've been paid for over the many years of my career, the one that gives the the most pleasure, thinking back, is being paid as an extra for The Blues Brothers.

Its basically an opinion of so many people that 1776 was a nice and pleasant meeting between locals and British Government.

The locals sat down and said: "sorry we do apologize but we do not want you here anymore; please kindly go". And then Brits responded: "sure! we spent centuries conquering the whole world, hundreds of thousands of our brothers and fathers died in the process, but since you so peaceful and ask so politely, we have no problems to give up on this vast land of minerals and opportunities, pack our belongings and sail home. See ya!".

In reality the 1776 happen pretty much the same as you watch the riots today, other than they didn't have tear gas and there were no cellphones.
It also applies to the underemployed or underpaid, they will top up earnings you might already have.

Not it's not.

They're saying that 1,000,000 is the number for mosquitos, not because they kill people but their a carrier of disease.

What they are asking is do we consider other animals in the same capacity, such as, does the number beside humans include human transmittable diseases (HIV for example).

Seems like a reasonable question.
Way to miss the forest for the trees. This is a discussion about how someone feels about the prices being charged. The argument is the poor old Amazon deserves slack because they haven't raised costs.

My point is that their prices could have gone down without them even feeling any pain because their costs have gone down. They don't deserve slack for keeping prices the same. Keeping prices the same just means their competitors either suck or they sit in an oligopoly together.

That is something I considered. Many partisan sites love to point out the errors of the other side. I know Fox News loves to call out CNN all the time. However, if every site did it, I fear that would just lead to more confirmation bias. And why report that the other side was right? That hurts your viewpoint.

What we need is a non-partisan non-profit to do it. But then there’s the problem of funding (which results in conspiracy theories).

I couldn't agree more. Well said!

The [Ethical Open Source definition][1] does include three general points on behalf of the end user: accessibility, safety, and privacy. But it does not address the relationship between developers and end users: how do those who will use the software have a voice in what gets developed? And how could it - as you say, it's time to move past licensing as the sole focal point.

Well, first I can almost guarantee that the surveillance tech being employed on a predator drone is substantially more advanced and wide ranging than a simple human operated video camera, but I also don't think it's a good idea to have guys with video cameras in helicopters recording protests either unless it's to film illegality. It has a chilling effect on the exercise of free speech. Peaceful protesters really shouldn't be getting surveiled / data gathered during protests shouldn't be getting mined, and unless authorities can guarantee that isn't happening then recording makes me uncomfortable.
The article you linked to was over 8 years ago at this point - it was years closer to the founding of Twitter than it is to the present day. I don't think that can be considered relevant to their current enforcement regime.
You are correct, and you should be more worried about pervasive surveillance than about the government taking your guns.

It's more likely than you think. You need some end delimiter, it doesn't matter what it is as long as there is one. Just like list literals end with ] and dict literals end with } and str literals end with " or ' etc.
Ah, I see.

It is probably fair to count TB deaths in the "human kills" category, but I think we usually make a differentiation between human to human disease and disease caused by contact with an animal. It's just the way we see ourselves as separate from the rest of the animal kingdom.

Although I get what you're saying, I don't think that human deaths caused by TB is necessarily what people are interested in when you aggregate all of the of humans at the hand of other humans, which may be why those deaths are omitted.

The fears about GDPR when it passed, if I remember correctly, were mainly around arbitrary draconian enforcement. This article seems to only be talking about under enforcement. The causes of this under enforcement seem fixable. Ireland, putatively afraid of the big tech companies choosing to put their Europe HQs elsewhere, has been dragging their feet on privacy investigations. But the investigations are happening. Then there are some countries not putting enough money into it. The rest seems to be the various countries not being in alignment. For a sweeping, two-year-old regulation that has spent about an eighth of its life in the time of a major global crisis, this doesn't strike me as all that shocking.

Does anyone have any actual examples of draconian fines being handed out for good-faith misunderstandings of the regulation? Big Tech has professed confusion over how they're supposed to comply, but it seems to me like like they would simply prefer not to.
Other people are doing a good job pointing out the theoretical and moral objections to this, but let me also add a tactical one. Libertarians, if you want to swing more people around to your way of thinking, let this issue go. Price gouging during emergencies is not the hill you want to die on: it pisses people off at deep, fundamental level, and validates the worst stereotypes of libertarians as people eager to sacrifice (other people's) lives on the altar of the free market. Pick your battles and don't push on this one.
Why would that be bad exactly? Anyway, I am glad that you did not have to survive through something like that.

> What is better is to have a functional police system that responds proportionately.

In times of mass-looting? I doubt that even the most functional police system could be able to help.

That being said we are talking about the extremely dysfunctional American police system. I doubt that they can change it into a functional one within an hour. What would you suggest for right now?

What I don't understand is why many of these small businesses — which have items of value to many people — were targeted. To me, that's burning to burn, damaging to damage, and looting to loot.

https://www.startribune.com/these-minneapolis-st-paul-buildi...

This is my home. I visit many of these businesses. I do business with two owners on that list. There are groups of people out here who, yes, are looting to loot and burning to burn.

I understand burning down the precinct though. I'm not upset about that.
