It seems entirely possible for the department to verify the whereabouts of one of their officers in 2.5 hours, especially if malicious lies which will put him in danger are spreading.
I think in a high margin business like software, "$200-400K" is "egalitarian", actually. Otherwise you need to redefine "egalitarian" to mean the opposite of what it means today.
I wouldn’t go that far. The US has so many guns it would be suicide for police not to have them.
Biggest regret in college/HS/right now is not getting good at competitive programming.
>Are you auguring about licensing here? macOS's obviously not open-source so you cannot just download it off their website for free but you can absolutely boot in on your PC, there's an entire Hackintosh community around it.

Yes. But that's not from Apple directly and not really the point here. macOS on PCs is for the hardcore, the 1%, the people who like to tinker with their system. Not as an alternative to Windows. There is no guarantee that the next update will survive a reboot.

>If you're telling me that in a world where 99% of PCs are Linux preinstalled, kids are familiar with Linux from school and nonetheless people are going out of their way to manually install Windows on them, I think you're selling me a bridge.

Ideally there would have been no OS preinstalled and you had to chose yourself. But again, hypothetical example. Would Winodws still be dominant in this example? My guess is yes, based purely on how GUI friendly the OS is.
You're right to be skeptical, as I am. In any case, since we can't change people, the best we can do is change laws and create systems that disincentivize bad behavior. Starting by taking away Qualified Immunity seems to be a good move.
Ignore 90% of the advice in this thread, although well intended is just unrealistic.

Work on yourself, your knowledge, start creating things, no matter how shitty at first. Do not drink the Kool Aid of any professor, company, open source leaders, youtubers, etc. Remember they are for themselves no matter how altruistic they sound. You are an adult so you can have all the rights of any person, dont get intimidated by older/more experienced people.

If you sell your soul to the devil it is OK, but please dont pretend it was because of a noble goal. It is OK to like money but it is rarely if ever compatible with making the world a better place, no matter what the Zuckerbergs and Gates of this world say.
None of the 9 points in the 'Australia should' list mention the Australian economy at all.

Australia is in a 'lose-lose' situation. If it goes wholeheartedly with the US, it loses the 30% of its economy that makes China its greatest trade partner. If it goes wholeheartedly with China, it loses out financially and security-wise (and very likely, plus sanctions) without the US's backing.

At some point or other, and very soon, Australia will have to choose whether it is on America's side or on China's side.

In the long run, Australia would be much better off to choose the ascendant China. But racially and ideologically, it will choose the US and join the general collapse of the West.

It's all arithmetic. Figures don't lie the way you want them to. Two plus two always equals four. China alone has a greater manufacturing capacity and a greater number of men of military age than the whole of the West ('Five Eyes' plus Europe).
If there's more than 1 fact, there has to be an order to presenting them. If that's lying, how can there be truth?

I see did not get that from you original comment but please enlighten me on how demanding ethical behaviour from software engineers leads to a eugenics program.
No worries, I probably wasn't very clear. I wish that someone like John Wiegley would give us his thoughts on Haskell/Lisp/C++. I have a lot of respect for him; he's made big contributions to Emacs and wrote a Common Lisp version of ledger in addition to his C++ version.
Don't put words in my mouth. I never implied in any way that I think the situation is improving. I'm not sure what part of my post you're actually agreeing with.

I cannot see any downsides to systematically documenting instances of police brutality and demanding justice for each instance. It seems entirely just to me.
I got to see the gates in central park, he will be missed.
Is this something that we can't change? If police have no duty to protect the public, we should make it be.

Why do we pay for police with our taxes if they aren't obligated to protect anyone?
For black on black crime or police assassinations, in what ways do they make you feel the same or different?

Since I cannot reply and you flagged because your world view now has internal doubts and you need time to settle down and contemplate these new thoughts...

A police officer killing a black person, is a smaller subset of the racial injustices. For example, why does black on black crime happen, why is it strongly geographically correlated to poverty and police brutality, why do we not talk about it when it accounts for more homicides than the police against minorities, how are retaliatory killings for police brutality not related to the discussion?

In what way is asking these questions changing the subject? Is it rather an attempt to enrich the conversation's context to move away from biased and blanket statements?

The answers highly depend on your willingness to open your mind.
Such a constitutional claims court would certainly be amenable to wrongful death lawsuits by the family, since no more QI is an obvious prerequisite, although one would obviously prefer to see a criminal prosecution in such cases.

American cops already seem to murder with impunity, it’s hard to see how more accountability could possibly make them worse.
It might be a good demonstration of that if the engineers had spotted the safety problem. As far as anyone can tell, they didn't - the press took some internal e-mails worrying about other safety problems which turned out not to actually matter, spun them as proof that their employees knew that the 737 Max was unsafe, and confused people like the commented you're replying to into thinking the problem was actually spotted internally. To give some idea about how overblown this was, the really juicy-sounding email comments were about problems with the simulator, not the actual plane. The fact that Boeing had a culture where people could speak their mind and those comments were recorded left us all less informed.
I agree with you. We as a people have eyes that cannot lie and remember everything. We are no longer in a time when things can be lied about or twisted. It's time that we started using that power to make the world a fairer place
That is a very unusual speculation. Do lower paid people have less compassion? Do high school teachers have worse understanding and appreciation of ethics and morality than bankers?
This is not true. Only their interpretation of the Constitution cannot be overridden by legislation (requires a constitutional amendment). Here, where the Court is interpreting a federal statue, namely 42 U.S.C. § 1983, Congress could in fact change the law to make it clear that the qualified immunity defense the Court made up does not apply.
TTPP seems to be suspension of disbelief.

If the audience cannot enter into the problem, then its value as a tool is diminished.

Case studies are also fraught with peril, but the analysis of where the particulars end and the general principles begin seems the bulk of the exercise anyway.
Almost like the LEM plates in WA
I did 4, but the people OP will want to be compared with will have done 5 or 6. 2 is a bare minimum.
Do you think the police would just like, abuse their power? Surely not.
I don't want to excuse the abuses but I think in a sense the cops are the victims of bad politics and management. Obviously shooting innocent people is not acceptable but on the other hand they are being thrown into a bad situation and don't get much help coping with that. I know a guy (very nice guy) who started as a cop two years ago. Since then he had to shoot somebody in the leg who attacked him with a knife, had to deal with a teenage girl hanging herself, lots of domestic violence and a lot of other really bad stuff that's very tough to deal with. They don't get any psychological counseling so a lot of the old-timers are either alcoholics or have some other kind of psychological damage.

In the end politics needs to have the courage to address the underfunding and also address the training and management situation. They don't want to do either because it may cost money so the bad situation just keeps going. Reminds me of the healthcare situation where even the most blatant problems go unaddressed because it's more important to do partisan fighting instead of addressing issues. I think it's well understood that the drug laws are damaging so it would be a good start to clean them up.
Sadly this was one case. There are many others across the globe that happen and nobody is ever held accountable
How do you know how much money I paid? I was a bit of an overachiever and took a lot more units per quarter than average.
> According to video captured by TheBlaze's Elijah Schaffer, violent protesters descended on the man after he chased looters with a large sword. The man did not, however, attack the looters.

In my world, "chasing someone with a large sword" sounds like initiating a fight, no? Is the complaint that... he lost it? Because it seems clear that he started it.

A meta point: this is why you need to stay away from sites like The Blaze. The guy with the lethal weapon was "beaten", but it's the protestors who were "violent".
If the owner of the example.com website creates the CSR and send its to the user, then the result is not "faked up". I use the term "faked up" only to refer to a scenario where the user generates a CSR for a domain name that is not under her control.
Exactly. HN caring more about wanting government to force Apple to allow side loading than police misconduct shows why you basically need rioting to make people pay attention.

A football player kneeling peacefully as a stand against police misconduct and being called a son of a bitch by the President doesn’t get a peep from HN. People start rioting gets attention.
Only required if SCOTUS’s opinion is on a constitutional matter, like 1st amendment rights.

If SCOTUS writes an opinion on a law like DMCA and then the legislature repeals the DMCA, it doesn’t much matter how SCOTUS interprets it because it’s not a law anymore.
Think about getting a helicopter to the hospital. It's probably pretty serious, right? You're more likely to die if you get a helicopter evac than if you don't. If all you have recorded is whether they got to the hospital via helicopter or not, and whether they died or not, then you're going to see that helicopters are associated with death. If you could control for what's wrong with the person, you might see that helicopters save lives. If you don't have that data, then just having more observations of (helicopter y/n, died y/n) will just look like helivac is murder. No matter what you do with that data, you just can't control for what you'd need to, because what you need was an unobserved confounder. When you're trying to establish causation, you have to rule out unobserved confounders, which is tricky. There's always something where someone might say "well what if it was X?" and the data doesn't contain that answer.

In this particular case, that commenter said that conference dates are independent enough from patient health to say that aside from the important things, everything else is equal. As in, the only difference between the treatments is who is doing the treatment. I disagree with that assertion, but that's the kind of argument you need for causation: Once we've dealt with/controlled for XYZ, the only difference left is the one we're interested in.

It's very difficult to demonstrate that the only difference left is what you care about when you can't even see certain variables. Someone says "what if people in group A are more likely to be left handed and it's patient handedness instead of doctor quality that's causing death here" but you didn't measure left handedness. More and more observations of group A without measuring handedness can't rule out that maybe they were lefties. So you either measure handedness, or argue that your setup will even it out (via randomization for example), or argue that handedness just doesn't matter here. And not just for handedness, but for everything imaginable.
We will stop glorifying narcissists and psychopathic systems after they make the world burn. Their positive traits turn destructive in excess.

Most people abroad are friendly. Makes one think why we hang on to old conceptions and limited beliefs, and instead meet people "as new".
Lack of generics just means you have to copy and paste everything, like any time you want to reverse a slice.

for i := len(a)/2 - 1; i >= 0; i-- {
opp := len(a) - 1 - i
a[i], a[opp] = a[opp], a[i]
}

Actively hurts reading code as you have to credentialize in a code base to begin to be able to file entire code blocks into copy and pasted "idioms".

Without generics you have to hope the stdlib gets a blessed generic function like reverse() one day since you can't build one without rolling your own monomorphization code-gen or a goofball interface{}+cast hack.

For people who supposedly prefer the lack of generics (which seems more like cargo culting or Stockholm Syndrome), no problem. We can just add a config option to golint that prohibits you from using generics. That way you don't need to hold up the rest of us. win-win.

Really nice idea of about the half life fed coin.

Is that some research paper? If not, have you considered doing real research on it?
Om was the first attempt by David Nolen, to see if it could be done. There were probably some ideas in Om that helped create Reagent and Fulcro.I haven't used it myself, but I heard it influenced libraries that came after. It's also not fair to compare longevity of a binding library that needs to be kept up to date to the lib it binds to, but Reagent has been around for 7 years, with all the changes happening in React itself. Sure there are changes in Clojurescript ecosystem, but certainly not as frequent and tiresome as in Javascript land.

I am sure you could find someone doing Clojure stuff if you searched for Clojure on meetup.com
> Can you imagine how these protesters would be treated if most of them were carrying a rifle?

There are 2 outcomes here:

1) You get shot immediately by the police, chaos ensues but at the end of the day you're still dead.

2) You shoot them, harm/kill them and if their colleagues don't shoot you back there's still more than enough proof out there to bring you a lifetime of legal troubles, especially considering "self defense" laws don't apply when it's against police.

In both cases, you're either dead or in the shit and nothing gets fixed. The US already proved that they couldn't give a shit about police brutality (otherwise we wouldn't have these protests to begin with) so more civilian kills on the leaderboard is just a drop in the bucket at this point.
I'm not sure if you're trolling or just very misinformed, but the position he was held in violates every single rule of police training on restraining individuals.
Make sure you get out often, have fun every week, meet people. I wish I'd have come out of college with a group of close friends and more people to talk to about jobs.

Also, go to the career fair every year and attend other employment events. Having interview experience and a couple internships under your belt will help a lot after graduation.
Average salary of police in Minneapolis appears to be about $60k. I don't know why you're just picking the highest salaries to talk about. https://www.salary.com/research/salary/alternate/police-offi...
That's the part I personally cannot wrap my head around with all of this. These people are the people they are paid to protect. The people who live in their own communities. Yet they are carrying out these acts like they're in a foreign country.
It may not be intentional class warfare, but it has the same consequences. The rationale for lowering taxes was to make it possible for corporations to invest more and produce lots of better-paying jobs. Instead they took the money and invested it in stock buy-backs, which benefit only the stock-holders.
This experience was in itself, reflective of the fact that “always on” internet was not considered a necessity or normality

...and now that it is, companies are taking advantage of that to make nearly every new application phone home without your knowledge. The amount of network traffic produced on a clean install of an OS like Win10 is disturbing to see.

Aside from this, direct connections from the browsers to secure HTTPS websites was impossible due to the difference in cipher suite and SSL/TLS protocol support, so I decided to use an Asus Tinkerboard running Nginx web server to serve a miniproxy page that allows us to visit HTTPS sites and serve them back as HTTP.

You can use something like Proxomitron which uses OpenSSL in MITM mode to get TLS 1.2 and all of its newer crypto.

Another thing I miss about that era is the relative efficiency; computer hardware wasn't as powerful, but on average, software seemed to be far closer to its limits than it is today, Now, despite the increase in computing power, software feels less efficient, and it leads to some very visible comparisons. My "daily driver" machine is rather old now, but will happily do things like play 1080p video or render a complex PCB layout in 3D with resources to spare; yet struggles, straining the CPU and RAM, when loading a JS SPA whose functionality should seem to be far less demanding than the former tasks.
Generally, in longitudinal analysis, three data points are the minimum required to fit a line while guarding against reversions to the mean. The lead author is currently assessing data with a third longitudinal timepoint of the ADOS severity measure. That said, the research article tried to guard against this problem by defining the minimum amount of change to be considered a reliable change i.e. a Reliable Change Index statistic (RCI; Jacobson and Truax 1991), which is, in Latex: RCI_{{Z\,SCORE}} = \frac{{({\text{ADOS}}\,{\text{CSS}}{\mkern 1mu} {\text{Time}}{\mkern 1mu} 3 - {\text{ADOS}}\,{\text{CSS}}{\mkern 1mu} {\text{Time}}{\mkern 1mu} 1)}}{{\sqrt {2\left( {SD\sqrt {1 - r_{{xy}} } } \right)^{2} } }} which takes into account test-retest reliability correlations.

Roughly speaking, this meant the the change groups ended up changing dX>+2 or dX<-2 on a 0-10 ADOS severity scale (4 is usually the clinical threshold for ASD diagnosis), while the no change group was defined roughly as between -2<dX<+2.

Furthermore, in data I did help analyze which is currently included in a journal submission, the change groups defined here exhibited altered longitudinal trajectories of white matter fractional anistropy and diffusivity, suggesting biological relevance one might not expect with a statistical reversion to the mean.
To clear up a minor confusion judging from replies, I wasn't describing my own views. I was summarising some facts, in response to the person who said they are already under arrest and asked what else did people want.
> Can you imagine how these protesters would be treated if most of them were carrying a rifle?

Can you imagine what these 'protests' would be like with Antifa thugs bearing rifles instead of the usual clubs, slings and other such paraphernalia? You'd have shoot-outs between them and other militia, often equally fascist in nature but being less dishonest about it by not stating that they are 'anti' fascist. No, this is not the way to solve these problems.
From my (limited) understanding of the role of police unions in cases like that, they basically threaten local governments and demand no prosecution for their members. They hold the keys to more public oversight and accountability.
Do the large visible pixels not bother you?
I'd like to point out that even when police officers have their hearts in the right places, they don't do themselves any favors by going after those in blue who abuse their power. We have heard countless stories of police officers that crossed the blue line to do what was right, only for extreme retaliation to occur, to the point of getting fired, harassed, assaulted, stalked, and even murdered.

And the idea that people can just join the police force with good intentions is fatally flawed. The police is a hierarchical organization with a culture that is characterized by its top down command structure. In order to have any influence at all, you have to be at the top...and by the time you get to the top, you're assimilated into the culture. It is self perpetuating.

Absent of firing all the police and starting over from scratch (an option I'm oddly not opposed to), I think the only way we can accomplish this is with strong carrots and even stronger sticks. Taking away qualified immunity is just the first step.

We have laws that punish doctors and lawyers and even commercial truck drivers more harshly when they commit crimes that directly relate to their jobs, under the premise that they know better and should be held to a higher standard. No such laws exist for police, but they should.

I think most importantly though is that we need to protect those who break ranks for good reasons. Retaliation, in any way, shape, or form, by police officers for enforcing the law against another police officer, should be a Class A felony with sentencing in the double digits. And we shouldn't just stop there. Good cops that enforce the law against bad cops deserve our protection, much like how we go out of our way to protect witnesses and whistle-blowers.

And not only that, but there should never be investigations into criminal misconduct by a police officer by other police officers of the same jurisdiction. Once it crosses the line from department policy violation to criminal violation, that investigation should be handed over to a superceding jurisdiction, and any local jurisdiction on the matter should be voided.
What would a "normal keyboard with eink key caps" imply? Like, a mechanical one? You'd still have to wire up power and data to each key-cap, which doesn't seem like it'd be a simple modification. And the lower movement distance of this format would make [whatever] simpler and last longer too.
It's basically suggesting that 'if you don't like the status quo, you should leave the country'. Firstly it's ridiculous - you are entitled to live in the country of which you are a citizen and not love everything about it. It's still your home.

It's anti-democratic because it's suggesting dissenting or minority views should be pushed out and not have a voice.

It's nationalistic because it's sugsesting there is one political view which is associated with belonging to the country, and anyone who doesn't agree with it is not part of that national identity and doesn't belong there.

I admit my penchant for democracy might have coloured my language when I called it 'disgusting', though. I wasn't engaging in any way with the substance of their comment.
