An incredible masterpiece.
I know your comment was flippant but it demonstrates really constrained thinking. I don't know the path to get there but there are plenty of societies with better mental and democratic health than the US. It is possible to have a society that doesn't allow police to routinely kill people.
> For the past couple of weeks I've been trying to do something like that for DnD. Come up with a system that doesn't have countless intricate rules and tedious arithmetics, but instead focuses on the social/creative aspects of the game, encourages creativity, improvisation, and storytelling.

No shortage of rules-lite RPGs out there, with varying degrees of similarity to D&D. FATE and FUDGE are the two that come to mind, but there are lots of others.

There Is No Spoon, a simple RPG that was big on RPG.net a while back is another good example.

There are in fact a disproportionate number of white supremacists in Portland; Oregon itself was founded as a whites-only state, and it was illegal for black people to live there until 1926. The state's constitution on admission to the Union carried a black-exclusion clause.

Portland itself outlawed black residents in the 1840s and that law stood for many decades. It's only very recently that Portland has developed the reputation for having a liberal populace; as recently as the 1990s it was essentially the white supremacy capital of the west coast.
> I'm sympathetic to the cause of saving money but if the military won't auction something to a random US citizen I don't see why they should be auctioning that thing to a random US civilian police force.

I don't see why it's not clear there's a difference here, in terms of community interest, but whatever

> A civilian police force should have no special rights above any other civilian entity.

What a weird way of looking at the world. I've genuinely never heard this take. Police have power over you, if you break the law; that's the point, no?
> I have enjoyed tabletop games less and less as the number of 'things' has increased

I feel you! There's a niche of complex boardgames where they try to "simulate" things, like a colony or a submarine or a spaceship or a party of RPG characters, and I think... this is what computers are good for. This is a videogame. Boardgames ought to have a different design space. If there are lots of things to keep track of, that's a bad sign for a boardgame. Some even try to have a computer do the bookkeeping, which in my opinion is just a band-aid over inadequate design.

All in my opinion, of course. And I do love "lite" dungeon romps and "lite" RPG-like boardgames. But adding complexity I think is both a temptation and a mistake.
How is malicious interference by exit nodes prevented for plaint-text HTTP requests?
I think that varies greatly depending on the area. Some places you weren't supposed to leave your house, others the parks were still open for walking. Also, some places are more pedestrian-friendly than others.

Pokémon Go: The Principles Behind the Product
1.I usually try to write about things that both interest me and wish I have found when I started learning about subject X, the process is mostly doing a lot of reading and working out the ideas for example the most recent thing I published was a primer series about zkProofs.I did about 7 months of studying (largely sparse about ~1400 hours). I then start by writing multiple drafts, updating as I go, I have terrible writing skills but I try to accomodate as I go.
I also tend to use pen and paper to develop any math that I need to explain.

2. I started following the advice of Andrew Trask, blogged about HE when I was studying the topic first, then a few posts about Deep Learning.I wouldn't stick a difficulty level to it,to be fair writing largely depends on the person,I think, for me it was hard because I was in a hurry to post and get feedback and trying to take my time so as not to do stupid things.

3. Motivation isn't something I feel like I can control but when doing the writing, not the research, I try to do it every morning.

4. The thing I struggle most with is mental illness (Inattentive ADHD, Depression, Anxiety) hardest part is time management and overcoming the fear of humiliation, my fix for the first was to make the writing week a routine, first thing after breakfast I spend a few hours writing and editing the latter I just faced it and published (great insofar).

Although I am not proud of my writing it gives me a tangible evaluation of what I learned in the past X weeks/months, like an exam. I also write things I don't publish such as sort essays, diaries or ramblings these I just put in notebooks.

A few more thoughts, I would say that getting your blogging process setup ready before you even start thinking about subjects helps along the way.This saves time later, I jumped between a few platforms but now I publish on write.as because it has markdown + latex without all the hassle.

I'd also recommend not to think of it as a duty but a creative adventure, something you do when you feel like. I tend to only write about niche topics or things I've been learning and related to tech (for example I've never blogged about physics or mathematics even though I keep studying both subjects).

Best of luck in your endeavors !

Or he might understand it as an organ stop. The 5 1⁄3′ (quint) and 4' (octave) stops just create constant parallels.

The prohibition of parallel perfect intervals is for independence of distinct voices, which strengthens counterpoint. It prevents a voice from being confused for the overtones of another.

When independence isn't necessary, you can find these sorts of parallel intervals in even Bach's music.
I don't know the details of that since I don't live in the US. But I googled and read this

> No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider

I think there is a distinction where this should apply and when not, and that is when the service acts "editorial" and when not. I see editorial as making choices what the user sees and not. I think all social media makes such choices today. They "recommend" you things, and thus I think they are editorial. Compare this with a static blog on AWS S3. All content comes from the writer. Amazon does not making any editorial calls at all. I think there is a distinction to make here.
"The crescent" is another way of saying "land SE of a big lake".

An alternative plausible explanation is it's a half circle because the town center is on the southern end of the lake.

Way too much being made of multiple sets of data points and pins on a map around a lake, without mentioning density, with a lake.

This is absolutely possible. You can distribute your UWP app as an MSIX package[0], which allows side-loading without having to go through the store. The whole experience is actually quite nice and straightforward, UI-wise.

Experiencing audio glitches all the time on my Mac. Never had any issues at all before installing Catalina.

After a recent Catalina update all the streaming video / audio stutters stopped only to be replaced with random dots appearing over my display - almost like my graphics card was dying. That’s now disappeared (after the most recent update) but the stuttering has restarted.

Running console.app As these issues occurred showed a number of errors that came up time and again. Bluetooth seemingly interrupting the audio, graphics drivers failing, disk access halting the system. Catalina is a poor product - probably the version of MacOS where I’ve experienced the most issues.

I would love to see some statistics before discriminating against veterans. My intuition says combat vets would make better police officers because they would likely be better trained, and are used to dealing with high pressure, dangerous situations.

The military's RoE are also very strict with severe consequences for violating. Contrary to what some think, soldiers are not running around shooting every person they see.

A few of the games mentioned don't really need simplification. I've been playing Carcassonne with my daughter since she was 3 years old. She can't do the scoring but she understands all the rules and how to earn points. The only thing we simplified originally was just not using Farmers.

We recently got a game called Outfoxed! which says it's for 5+, she picked it up after the first round. The hardest concept for her was moving diagonally and that you aren't allowed to in the game. It's a great game for learning to read names since all of the Foxes have unique and not trivial names to pronounce.
But how different is that really than bash? Or even command.com?
Those computers could not run a general purpose GUI, so a command-line interface was all you got. The nice thing about BASIC in that context is that it's a clean extension of a desk calculator: it gives you floats and math operations, functions etc. out-of-the-box, which took a non-trivial chunk of ROM code to implement on that kind of 8-bit platform.
> a peaceful protestor might become part of the radical wing after watching their friends get attacked by police when peacefully protesting.

The radical wing protesters are all well prepared. There is no way to identify them, they wear bandanas, cover their faces as much as possible. Peaceful protesters are barely covering their faces - basic face-masks to prevent the spread of the virus.

As for the antifa, they are taking the civil rights movement hostage and trying to create chaos on these protests by framing peaceful protesters and peaceful African-American activists.

A lot of violent protests are organized movements. They "advertise" on websites similar to Craigslist and offer $25/h on average. Police is well aware of all of that, which is why they have to act fast. This whole thing is no longer about George Floyd and police. It's much broader. A shit ton of people see this as an opportunity to reach their own goals hiding behind BLM, police lawlessness and so on.

P.S. English is my second language, so when I say control, what I really mean is to make sure peaceful protest stays peaceful. It's needed because not everyone is smart enough to understand that stealing laptops from stores is not normal.
Since this comes up a lot, I did some digging.

The actual standard, from In Re Walt Disney, is that business decisions aren’t reviewable unless “the exchange was so one-sided that no business person of ordinary, sound judgment could conclude that the corporation has received adequate consideration".

In, Shlensky v. Wrigley, the Chicago Cubs were sued for refusing to install lighting for nighttime games: their president believed baseball was best as “a daytime sport." This is absurdly nebulous (and kind of bizarre), but the Cubs nevertheless won. That decision was based on Davis v. Louisville Gas and Electric Co, which says “the directors are chosen to pass upon such questions and their judgment unless shown to be tainted with fraud is accepted as final. The judgment the directors of the corporation enjoys the benefit of a presumption that it was formed in good faith, and was designed to promote the best interests of the corporation they serve.”

While you can get sued for nearly anything, the legal standard is basically "Did you egregiously rip off the company so that you could make money?", not "Could you have squeezed ten cents more out of the public?"

Civil rights leaders blast Facebook after meeting with Zuckerberg
Same for McDonalds' ordering kiosks. They feel webtechy in the worst way. Plus they're horribly organized, probably to try to boost sales. Unless the line at the counter's over 4 deep I can't imagine the kiosks being faster, even if there's no wait for them.
Yeah, "Woah this site is something else" -> This is hot garbage, why the eff would you make it?
others should have right to efficient self-defence

Interestingly the justification for carrying knives is often self-defence.

The crime figures have been falling in the UK for a long time. There has been a small uptick in knife crime, probably associated with falling police numbers (20,000 less) since the financial crisis.
You may want to check that assumption (particularly if you expand to violence in general).
Everyone gets to say anything in my opinion, I am no-one to stop people. But they should also try to ponder over the question over why authors don't deserve to be paid for their labour.

> “Developers, developers, developers!” was a cry from Steve Ballmer and one of the speeches that defined him as CEO of Microsoft. These infamous words were uttered back in 2006.

The famous YouTube video of it was uploaded in 2006, but my sources say the event in question was from Microsoft's 25th Anniversary Event in September 2000.

I could use a more authoritative source than knowyourmeme, though, so someone else is free to chime in there. There's a newsletter referencing it as early as 2001[0], so that seems to suggest well ahead of 2006.

This isn't true. Modern tools are significantly less lethal, and give police more options on the spectrum of escalation before having to draw their service pistol. This is why protests were much more deadly in the 1970s.
Computerphile is truly a gift to us all
Always made perfect sense to me - I grew up on ZX spectrum, BBC Micro and VIC-20. When I started using PCs on dos, that made sense too. I never thought either approach was wrong...
The OP is complaining about editorial control and bias but traditional media companies have full editorial control and biases.

Whether or not someone can be sued for content created by other people seems completely irrelevant to the discussion. In either case, you can always sue the content author.

> "claiming decades of injustices, such as French boats being allowed to catch 84% of the quota of cod in the Channel, for instance."

This is highly misleading.

France may have 84% of the quota for the (East) of the Channel, but they have only 4% of the quota in the North Sea. Overall quotas are not designed to exactly balance each area but to balance overall and they seem to vary partly based on which area is most accessible to each country.

Let's face it, quotas are hotly negotiated so each country will only give on one side if they can get on another side.
brave browser has a "tor private window". such a great idea, since most people dont realize a private window is only private to their own browser. anyone know how updates to tor affect brave? it seems crucial it is kept to to date
If there are 1000 people at a protest and 50 start brawling with the police, that changes the entire character of the day, no matter whether 50/1000 is a small number or not.
Can you start playing audio, go to System Preferences -> Date and Time -> Unlock the panel -> repeatedly uncheck and re-check "Set date and time automatically" and see if that causes audio glitches? There's a known problem with that series of MBPs, I believe with the T2 chip. I'm still on the 2015 Macbook so I can't test it, but another audio pro I know says some recent Catalina update fixed it, and before that they did their live shows with it unchecked and didn't have a problem.

That's quite elegant.

Application signing is a mafia protection racket, plain and simple.

If you aren't signed by an "authority", every user is told by default automatically that your code is unsafe until you pay money.

It is 100% analogous to thugs walking into your store saying "It would be a real shame if something were to happen to scare people away."

The message is "We Protected You" and "Unsafe". WHY? Because "WE don't recognize" it.

Application signing certificates cost money. Always. And if you're making something for free either out of the goodness of your heart or because you like making things, that money has to come out of your pocket just so the thugs don't stand in front of your door with bats. Nobody should be ok with that. AND FUN FACT: malicious or incompetent actors can and do also pay money.

> Both peaceful protests and wanton destruction and looting were likely organized on social media.

Interesting that in his mind the looting is the dark side of this uprising.

How about the drones the riot cops use to watch the protesters' every move?

My company is too big for me to know about how everyone manages them (my guess would be sharepoint shared folders, with variable degrees of accesses).

My team uses lastpass
There are a few projects that do this, but I think there's certainly room for more. I'd love to see one focused on using the Zettelkasten method.

Here are three I'm aware of:

Scimax: https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax

Emacs Speaks Statistics: https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS

Frontmacs: https://github.com/thefrontside/frontmacs

So long as these approaches expose the full power of Emacs to their users, I can't imagine the UX being as rock-solid as we might expect from modern purpose-built tools (e.g. PyCharm, Overleaf, Obsidian, ...).

It might help to hide/disable most default interactive functions, which provide a huge surface area for non-Emacsers to break things. Emacs actually does this by default for a few functions: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DisabledCommands

The Tor Browser is scrutinized heavily. I know that is kind of a fallacious argument, but they have a routine presence at DefCon and they are really committed to protecting people around the world. At DefCon last year, the Tor project talked about the biggest security concern as countries who monitor the entry points to the network, and the challenges with getting those IPs distributed confidentially and keeping them hidden. (If you don't already know, Tor does require an entry IP address list before the anonymization occurs: countries can arrest people who visit these URLs, so this is the big challenge right now.)

Someone who knows more can probably elaborate, but after hearing them present year after year, and how much global advocacy they engage in, and their transparency, I find it unlikely they have NSA spooks embedded.

I use it when I need to read something objectionable through a VPN. (Still not perfect, because I run a VPN on EC2 and the exit zone is in the US...)

Not trying to be flame-baity here, but with Trump's ranting about making ANTIFA a terror org, and with the recent legislation that allows warrant-less IP tracking, I am legitimately concerned I might end up on a watch list because I visit a website this admin finds objectionable.
We also use Keybase. We wrote an extension to our existing lightweight management script, encpass.sh(https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh), to be able to access/manage our secrets from the CLI and in our infrastructure scripts. The extension is encpass-keybase.sh (https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh/blob/master/extensions/...) kept in the same repo.

The extension makes use of the per-user keys of Keybase. This allows you to manage access permissions using the Keybase GUI client. Once a user is added to the appropriate Keybase team, they will immediately have access to that teams secrets that are stored in the encrypted Git repos.

To use it you just need to download the 2 shell scripts to a directory in your path (e.g. /usr/local/bin/) or you can clone the git repo.
Why not? The publishers win a judgement for a value that exceeds that of the IA's total assets, and all of the IA's infrastructure gets seized and auctioned off in the bankruptcy proceedings.

The data is backed up in many ways (including to some extent in a fully-distributed fashion, though I'm not in the know enough to give you an idea of how vast it is: https://dweb.archive.org/ ), and a non-profit can't be forced into bankruptcy in the way you're implying (which is another reason it's so important the IA is non-profit), so the physical assets are safe:
