> The Charlottesville, VA protest by the extreme right wing however is a counterexample — but it’s an exception that proves the rule.

It's not any kind of exception. Protests involving the klan and the Nazis have often been extremely dangerous.

Aside from that, the point you're making is trivial in an obvious way that you really ought to understand. Violent right wingers are not typically on the protesters' side in American demonstrations, Nazis and KKK notwithstanding, because they are on the side of the police.

Think about what these ideological categories mean for a moment and you wouldn't normally expect leftists to put on riot gear and bust heads for the man, or for conservatives to go out and violently oppose the status quo.
There isn't, but that's a good idea. At a very high level, the v2 engine is "Skyframe but using async Rust". All filesystem access, snapshotting, UI, and networking is in Rust, and we use the Bazel remote execution API to allow for remote execution. The v2 plugin API is side-effect free Python 3 async functions (called `@rules`) with a statically checked, monomorphized, dependency-injected graph connecting plugins (ie, we know before executing whether the combination of plugins forms a valid graph). Unlike plugins in Bazel, `@rules` are monadic, so they can inspect the outputs of other `@rules` in order to decide what to do.

This file contains a few good examples of `@rule`s that collectively partition python targets to generate `setup.py` files for them automatically: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/5e4f123a1dbc47313fe...

I've heard this rationalization before but it falls down on closer examination. If propensity for outrage at "controversial figures" is asymmetrical, then factions that exaggerate outrage get to control the conversation.
I think what OP is getting at is the inherent hypocrisy of our government implementing policies to severely limit emigration from impoverished nations desperately in need while encouraging fleeing citizens from Hong Kong to bring their economic resources here instead of losing them to China's authoritarian regime. We're preventing people trying to escape China's authoritarian rule from immigrating to the US while at the same time welcoming some of those people trying to escape China's authoritarian rule. What's the difference between the two? Politics and economics. If this were motivated by altruism all things would be equal.

I agree with you that organized crime is not a US-only problem. The example I shared is not in the US - so you have at least one counter example to your statement about other countries. Concerns and awareness about issues with policing in the community where they live isn't isolated to just a few individuals.

You seem to easily dismiss someone else's experience - why would you think that you have enough information from a short anecdote to judge their difficult decision to uproot their entire family, as useless security theatre? How effective something like that is depends completely on the specific circumstances, people involved, and the nature of the threat. I assure you that the decisions they made for themselves were done with appropriate advice.

My point was that organized crime changes the nature of policing and the relationship with police and their community. Organized criminals have a much greater sense of power and immunity, so they are more likely to be involved in confrontation with police and to take things further past the line (threatening family is just one example) than an 'average' crook who commits crimes out of desperation (for example).

> Trying to get web developers to change what they design to only use a small fraction of what Chrome and the user's computer can do is far more difficult, if not outright impossible.

This is not only improbable to happen that web developers will change their malicious behaviour, it's also the user agent's fault for allowing that.

Why is there no connection speed detection in the browser? Why does the browser allow media playback by default? Why is there no mechanism that reflects the expectations of the user? Is the user expecting videos on the news website or just to read text and images?

I personally think that user agents are not really user agents anymore, as there's not even the idea of offering the user a choice like this.

And personally, I do not agree with the concept of trusting random websites on the internet - by default. Any website on the web should be distrusted by default, with the user having the choice on what to load and what to expect when navigating to that specific resource.

If I visit an i.imgur.com/somename.jpg, why am I redirected to an html page with megabytes of files just because the user agent accepts html then? Should this not be outright impossible?

But please take my comment with a grain of salt, I am building a web browser concept that allows filtering and upgrading the web (which is superhard to build) [1] and it's still a ton of work to get anything working in a stable manner.

I lived in Mexico City downtown for 15 years. If you don't know if there is a problem anywhere in the country, people would come to Mexico City main plaza to protest. Many peaceful protests never really achieve anything, others utterly violent neither. I witnessed farmers being beat up by the police, women and kids fighting riot police and building destruction. One common element is that certain police officers are aggressive by nature and suddenly get a free card to hurt people.
I agree with the article, communication is key. In many protests I believe there is a lack of miscommunication in all parties, and others are not well planned or are infiltrated to diminish the reason of the protest. Some groups advocate for violence as the only way to be heard (which in some cases is a valid reason, e.g. fascism) but destroying normal people business vs government Infrastructure I don't think should be permitted

cynical tinfoil hat, i think thats the end game

i predict these riots will only get worse, and will be met with military enforced lockdowns
The premise "many assholes are cops" doesn't need a lot of new evidence. There is more than enough existing evidence.

But what do you honestly expect riots to lead to? Concessions? Or loss of the moral high ground and even more riot gear and tear gas and escalation?

It's just handing the cops a free pass to justify arresting you. And not just arresting you, but charging you with something that could actually stick. Its hard to advocate policy when you're serving a decade in prison for arson and conspiracy.
I was replying to, "I wonder how they feel about actual libraries, which make published works available for free to many people as well." I know first-hand of several books that have inappropriately been present on the IA as stolen copies of books written by independent authors. Those authors filed DMCA notices to remove them. So, no, the IA is not the same as an "actual library" regarding copies of books.
the opcodes are listed as well so you can look for voids in the set of opcodes and find opcodes that give something other than a crash or exception error, this allows one to sleuth out hidden or redundant operations
I think that your definition of "NP-Hard" is incorrect. It would be better to instead say "Exponentially bound in required training data size"

I say this because having a solid model of these terms is required when making "intuitive conjecture" about what is and isn't feasibly possible. Driving is NP-Hard? It would hint that humans have brains capable of computation more powerful than a turing machine. Which... suffice it to say we probably don't. I'm not aware of any proven algorithms that humans can compute which computers cannot.

In images free of distortion and noise, computers were outperforming humans in image recognition 2 years ago! [0]. Since then, with advances in GANs (which specifically addresses the noise/distortion issue), I suspect we are close to achieving super-human image recognition. The last missing piece is "context" or prior knowledge. If you only see a whisp of hair sticking out from behind an object, you have prior knowledge that hair grows on humans, and that there's probably a person there. This last piece is being addressed by multi-modal networks [1].

If you have any doubt of the power of computer vision, my last hope is to link you to this paper from 2017, look at the "regions-hierarchical" results:

It's a big ask when politicians have been acting like they can ignore protests which is what the past, hell, decade or so has really been like.

The political class had collectively decided they understood protests, that people would turn up peacefully, shout some slogans and then go home.

But that's not what a protest is. A protest is a clear and specific message "this is how many people took time out of their day, free time, time off work to come and represent themselves for an issue - do you think it's wise to ignore them?"
As a step towards answering my own question I view culture something like a complexity issue or a proof by induction. Call it a question of human calculus.

I could be completely wrong, but the number of potential rioters (actual rioters + protestors) likely outnumbered police. The scale is so much larger and potential for damage and destruction is huge (over 200 businesses looted/destroyed in Minneapolis) that it is I believe of the highest priority to disperse the crowds as quickly as they can.
At a recent start-up like situation we paid licensing for a monitoring and metrics provider that provided out of the box tracing infrastructure for us.

It turned out that the licensing was quite expensive for what we where getting (couldn't even get outlier traces), we didn't have much control of our infrastructure (couldn't control the sampling rate in such a way to keep all the traces we needed), and ultimately the learning curve for making the infrastructure scalable was a challenge as well.

Even after setting up tracing in our entire system successfully, I ultimately found it of minimal value and we ended up relying on ELK and log aggregation for more insight.

Tbh, it was a disappointing experience and just reading how much custom dev was required in this post to make tracing work for you guys makes me disappointed. Given the frame of work I do (consulting), I doubt tracing will ever prove more valuable than spending money on log aggregation and other monitoring efforts and tools.
What I'm talking about is "ACAB", Boogaloo, and other dehumanizing thinly veiled calls for violence against $PICKAGROUP. It's ramped way up recently:
https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=ACAB&geo=US

That's pretty unusual to be mainstream. This will be used for enacting policy, who knows what it is at this point, but it's not going to be "Oh you're shadow banned, kicked off a platform, or discredited by association". I'm talking about the lines of China; you can't say something against the powers that be, if you do, we'll ensure you are financially ruined or sent to jail kind.
Just because you disagree with someone's point of view (even strongly) doesn't mean they can't have admirable qualities. On the topic of Luhmann, perhaps if you were more versed in sociology literature you would have heard of him. I can't say I have, but I'm not a sociologist and am not particularly interested in the field.
> aggravated assault rates.

You actually can't, because such studies are based on arrest rates, not the unstudied "amount it actually happens."

Furthermore, something like that can't be pinned on "race," which is already a nebulous concept that exists only as an ill-defined cultural construct, whereas "cop" is a defined entity.
I'm not sure it works that way. I'm no landlord, but property tax is not subject to rent control reductions as far as I know. The primary beneficiaries of rent control are the people who are the renters, and are often able to extract value out of it from buyouts in the tens of thousands of dollars to as much as hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In a city like SF, vacancies is not a thing. Actually for that matter, in any market the market price is some equilibrium price that gives a certain vacancy rate.
Why not? In that hypothetical, ramming every overturned truck while avoiding all other accidents would be a massive improvement in safety. What about the truck scenario makes it so bad as to outweigh avoiding the other accidents?

Ask HN: Using data to enable near-realtime response to looting and Rioting?
Do we have the system in place to trigger law enforcement in near real time? For example - unexpected gathering of mob at an odd hour, or many folks driving to the same destination in a map? Or, same phone number seen at multiple riot locations?

Do we have the working system in place? Or is it paralyzed by privacy concerns, or simply no one cares because there's no $$ to be made? My question is obviously because of concern from recent activities.

How are you going to fix police brutality with more brutality? What is the end goal anyway, the state won't be defeated and the #1 group suffering are the people who lost jobs, homes, and loved ones.

Is the idea to make a mess and then police will be "ok guys, we get it now, we will be nice". Obviously you will have to change the laws and this could have been the initial objective through peaceful protests only.

You're conflating being able to afford a car with having a car. Ideally more people would choose not to have cars. Or, easier, a household could only have one car instead of multiple.

And a good transit system can beat many car trips, even for people that do have cars. Especially if parking spaces stop being subsidized.
Personally I believe we should have fail safe back ups. A radar/lidar would have prevented such an accident from happening. You can't prove that a controller based on a neural network wont collide. But you can prove that a simple lidar based backup will not collide with a stationary object. Neural networks are great for complex decision process, but they cannot 100% gaurantee safety. Given the tesla pricepoint, and the falling price of lidars I don't see why one cannot be installed. Personally, I think it should be mandatory in all self driving cars to have a provable failsafe.
This is useful for anyone whos life goals are a little more generic. If all you use it is for learning a new programming language, it's probably limited in usefulness. If however you use it to not just note interesting ideas in a language but whatever you learn about tech in general, it will become more useful. I intend to use it to keep track of interesting tech notes, my project ideas, potential things I want to learn and read further, and some other life activities as well such as house hunting.

It's getting off topic, but it's worth pointing out that all the examples you're about to drum up may not have rule of law, but they certainly have "law," in that they have someone holding a monopoly on violence and the willingness to use it to meet their ends.

I think that's an important distinction to make between such a place, and a place of anarchy or a commune, which aren't necessarily places that don't have "rule of law" and aren't necessarily hubs of raw violent chaos.

You only need one use to justify germanium: Fuzz.
You are correct about the numbers in absolute, but this is one of those cases where the stats are lying.

Once you go to university, it is relatively easy to get a job making around 2.5-4 lakh a year. The total cost of university stays under 4 lakhs for most people, which is an acceptable percentage of projected annual wage.
It is also a lot easier to live under your means in India, where a single person can easily live under 1.5 lakhs/year.

On the other hand, a university degree in the wrong major in the US can mean a $30k gig at Starbucks, with saving being nearly impossible and student debt worth $200k.
