Also Best Buy, which is particularly annoying as they watch you check out at the register five or ten feet from their post, then "randomly" (almost always) demand the receipt.

Who are you checking, the cashier or the buyer? My guess is a deterrent for some kind of collusion.

The best Monopoly is the one on the NES with a four-score adapter :-)

All the standard rules, no-one can modify them, runs the auctions for you, plays very fast. D-pad and four buttons (counting select and start) so even young kids (or oldsters) with no gaming experience can pick it up fast. I wouldn't ordinarily recommend a video game as a complete replacement for the physical version of a board game, but in the case of Monopoly, yes, definitely, find the simplest video game version you can and use that.

They don't care how they're using rubber bullets because there are zero consequences for misusing them, or anything else they do.

They're not penetration rounds, so will likely ricochet off the individual. After which, they'll co-mingle with the rounds scattered around by all of the officers. Except in isolated cases that don't involve multiple officers, but then the serial number is a moot point.

So while a serial number can prove that a particular round came from a specific officer, proving a direct connection between any specific damage and a specific round would be an area of uncertainty and conjecture.

And even if you do keep track of an individual round, the above argument itself would allow for officers/lawyers to argue that case anyway, introducing enough reasonable doubt to weasel out of repercussions.

I agree that both professions have the same sort of "service in a time of crisis" mythology surrounding them but how does the fact that the norm for the medical profession is high pay where as the norm for police is slightly above minimum wage starting out with a shot as average pay after several years of service affect those myths?

Blaming the children in impoverished towns in places like Louisiana for "stealing" information over blaming the politicians who refuse after all this time to make authoring works sustainable or the system that enforces the same is ridiculous. I'm totally sure that twelve year old "stealing" bytes from LibGen over the wire in their rural town without a library worth its salt is just ripping that sandwich away from the author.

More walled gardens. Hooray.

This is why we need WASM and web-first development. If the platforms won't empower us to develop and distribute without levying their tax, we need to take our business back to the open web and spend our money on making it the best platform.

Besides, it's a nightmare to have to develop for every single platform when the web is universal. Platforms should pay the cost of making things work on their devices and operating systems, not tens of thousands of independent developers and engineers paying this price N-many times for each walled garden.

We also need to get Google's claws out of the open web (AMP, standards balkanization, etc.)
We email them around lol. Wish we used istio.

What part of "opt-out" Do you not understand? Contact them, ask them to remove it, they will, on an author by author basis, rather than as a blanket publisher request that everything be removed.
I think the image is trying to convey that there's a rising immediately near the glacier due to the tectonic plate lifting up. Then there's a falling due to reduced gravitation. What's not shown would be (much further away) a rising due to increased water volume.

I agree that the image is a bit confusing.

More vets might be a positive thing.

The rule of engagement in places like Iraq and Afghanistan are significantly stricter than they are for America's cops. No firing until fired upon, limits on use of things like tear gas and riot gear, etc. They're also trained significantly more.

> In contrast, soldiers continuously and over the course of their careers repeatedly train to employ techniques to deescalate stressful, unpredictable, and dangerous scenarios. They also know what steps they must take before resorting to lethal force. Most rules of engagement (ROEs) — the military’s term for rules that govern the circumstances when soldiers are justified using force — contain explicit instructions requiring soldiers to use verbal warnings, show their weapons, and exhaust all non-lethal physical options before resorting to deadly force.
Thanks for the suggestion on My First Castle Panic! Just grabbed it - looks great!

And I couldn't agree more on the "relax, bend the rules" side of things. It's all about fun.
This is a gross oversimplification. I have family members in law enforcement. In most cases it’s very difficult to tell the people apart. People can barely identify a single thief, unmasked, caught on camera, yet somehow they have these god-like powers to identify troublemakers who weave through the crowd of protesters, all masked?

Police were able to brutalize protesters in the 1960s with much simpler equipment than they have today. The equipment is not the problem.
> The taxes from these stores are less and less helping them with social programs etc and go more towards funding police departments that brutalize them.

That sounds like an assumption whose truth is heavily dependent on being in a specific locality.

> How do the looters benefit from having stores in their area that they are too poor to buy from?

Again, an assumption that is highly dependent on geography and specific looting. You're also assuming that the looters are necessarily poor -- forgetting about, for example, organized crime.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. I wonder what's different between our accounts and devices.
The equipment they request betrays their perspective. They see themselves as having more in common with soldiers in occupied Baghdad than police officers.
Donate as usual: the money doesn't stay on the Internet Archive's bank account for long, it won't go to publishers. You can donate more later if the Internet Archive asks for donations specifically for the lawsuit, and at any rate after the lawsuit to accelerate operations (whether they win or lose).
Why should taxpayers who fund the police have to artificially pay more markup, making someone else rich, just so the police have less equipment?
> And I'm supposed to support reform to tie the hands of the NYPD, when they're the only thing standing between us and these terrorists now?

What reform, specifically, are you against? This is a department with a long history of corruption, including serious recent cases, so it's not like no oversight is an option.
I for one can't wait to return to a time where the only people who could afford to be writers were members of the upper class who didn't need to rely on publishing for their income; we might be spared the next Dan Brown.

It's no wonder copyright reform has completely stalled out over the last 20 years when all discussions devolve into the same repeated canards.
Agreed, it’s impossible to have adult conversations about anything other than tech on HN.

>despite how incredibly unethical it is for authors to opt out

Authors sometimes spend years of their lives and plenty of their own money to write a book. They often have no idea if it will even sell, so it can be a huge risk.

Why do you feel entitled to the product of that work for free?
That might have been the official doctrine, but the British Army absolutely used them to kill people, often firing directly at the head or chest at close range.
Preventing scanning one item and placing two on the bag? It's an easy problem. Just have scanned items be placed on a scale. People will be bagging stuff to take home, so just have bags placed on a scale and observe the weight increase as items are placed in the bag.

You probably know the weight of one jug of milk, but even if you don't, it's easy to "learn" the weights of new SKUs statistically.
> In what circumstances would escrowed money be forfeited?

When a counter-notice is filed (and so the material at issue is put back online) but a lawsuit is never filed the $X would be forfeit.

When a counter-notice is filed and a lawsuit is filed then both $X and $Y would be forfeit.

> Or worse - someone could file a suit and dismiss it later just to force escrow to be paid out.

I would imagine $X and $Y being small enough dollar amounts that this maneuver wouldn't be worthwhile.
The reason is actually because orders are not a static resource, they change as new information becomes available.

An email saying "Your order is confirmed, here's what it contains" is very resolute. What if it gets cancelled? A line item get cancelled? One thing ships separately?

They did bad things in regard to endangering their institution. There is nothing objectively, morally "bad" about the National Emergency Library though.
Eh, honestly, that's what getting an SSL cert used to be like 15 years ago. They can knock it all they want, but really, the process functioned pretty much as expected.

Like a lock on your front door, the purpose is not to prevent unwanted people from ever getting inside (no lock will ever accomplish that), but to both make it take long enough the likelihood of being noticed is high, and to put enough hurdles in place that the attacker looks for a more lucrative target.

This is done through time, capability, and money. It takes time to jump through the steps. This presents risk to an attacker as it leaves them exposed for much longer, and susceptible to being tracked down in various ways as they expose themselves. It takes capability to jump through the steps, requiring the attacker having compromised the target in multiple different ways (phone system, employee, etc). This increases the complexity of the attach and thus the risk to the attacker. It takes money. This helps the providing company recoup the cost of verification (and if it's anything like web SSL certs is also about insurance), but money also provides another path to racking down an attacker, and provides a cost to them that isn't just their time. It also makes it less feasible to attempt a bunch of these attacks at once, as it's expensive.

People can complain about the inconvenience all they want, but the inconvenience is part of the point, so I doubt you'll see it change all that much.
It looks like the preprint was published 6 weeks after the study finished (15 April 2020).

It is a real shame we can’t get our science moving faster (maybe slow so we don’t break things?).
It perfectly possible to address the issue of an organization without treating its members as homogenic group. There is however a greater risk here that by treating them as non-individuals, the only group they are allowed to be part of is the pseudo family that the police force develops. If we want to deescalate violence and hostility, treating people as individuals is a crucial step.

Telling organizations to keeping their 'bad apples' in check is an up hill battle, as within a in-group you don't see bad apples as representing the group. They are seen as individuals that did a bad choice, took a wrong turn, and as any individual they are given chances to change and do better. With pseudo kinship this get amplified, as its a fundamental aspect of most cultures that you treat kinship different than "others". Issues get handled and address within the family.

In order to break such patter you need to get cops more integrated into the society that they serve, increase pay in order to increase the status of the job within the rest of the community, decrease the inherent risks so that individuals has to rely less on a "family" to protect then, and increase the training period.

Nothing of that will help of course when governments start to use the military against protestors. Here in Sweden we have had several different parliaments trying to make clever hacks in order to prevent future parliaments from making such decision. At a time they even gave the power as an exclusive right under the king with the general idea beying that since the king does not participate politics and no future parliament would dare to take something from the king once given. Others have written laws forbidding parliament for taking such decisions. Currently it has been 89 years, and the event that caused such heavy opposition against military use against protestors, Ådalshändelserna, is still referenced in modern day politics. No matter what you don't send military against protestors.
> The rule of engagement in places like Iraq and Afghanistan are significantly stricter than they are for America's cops.

Maybe on paper, but in practice they act with little if any respect for the communities they're in. For instance screaming at people and pointing rifles at their heads to "overcome" the language barrier. Or, as apologists phrase it, "use verbal warnings, show their weapons,"

Edit: Here is something else for the haters to consider:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killology

After WWII, the American military conducted studies that determined a large portion of their soldiers were unwilling to kill people in combat. This was perceived as a problem and efforts were undertaken to make soldiers more willing to kill people. Among these measures was the use of human silhouette targets at gun ranges, a practice which is not coincidentally common for civilian police today: http://www.americantargetcompany.com/law_enforcement_targets...

It's not just a matter of whether an individual police officer was a combat veteran, but also a matter of whether he ever received training from a combat veteran (which is extremely common.) Look up Dave Grossman.
Drupal Partners Has Moved to Drupal 9. and We’re Celebrating the Big Move
When you have violent mobs committing arson and vandalism I think bringing out the tear gas is reasonable and not a misuse of force.

But police keep tear gassing people who are not being violent, and were doing this before any rioting and looting. That's why people began escalating in response.
It's also important to distinguish between the protests vs elements using the protests (and pandemic) as a cover for crime. In NYC it least, it seems that the protests & those looting are two separate groups.
That may be true of some people. I don't think I've become complacent. It's impossible to tell what would have happened if the car hadn't helped in those situations.

The car does have advantages over humans, like for example, the 8 cameras mounted around the car, making blind spot collisions less likely.

If someone comes out of their lane into mine and happens to be in my blind spot then there's not much I can do. I do turn my head when changing lanes, but I can't see in all directions at the same time. And I'm human, I will make mistakes from time to time.

The car can also react far more quickly than a human nervous system ever could. In situations when I've needed to brake for someone, often I've moved my foot to the brake pedal and found that it is already depressed.

I think safety features are a net win overall. I'm sure seat belts and air bags have caused problems, but in the end we have decided we're better with them than without.
Before building your own, did your company consider using Vault? If so, what factors led you to go down the build your own path?
To be fair, most of those "obscure" coinages in English were not so obscure when they were coined. Until rather recently, members of "academic society" were expected to know some degree of Latin and Greek.
Maybe that changed recently? I was at many protests in Germany and I have never encountered tear gas.
Sorry but that article is definitely inaccurate. As I wrote in a sibling comment, the NEL is still lending out books with a DRM-enforced "check out". That restriction is very much in effect! And my point is that we simply don't know how far their claim to "unlimited" lending should be taken.
If that were true, I would expect the demographics of the supporters of the current administration to be skewed towards immigrants, especially from Central and South America, and I would expect to see opposition to the current political climate from the demographics most culturally different from those- non-immigrant, white males.

But it seems to me the opposite is instead true. Are you perhaps suggesting the non-immigrant, white males supporting the current political climate look up to the immigrants as role models?
Sorry, I should do a better job at explaining why I said what I said. I'll try to do better at that next time. What I meant to imply is that non-violent forces like the social worker or the man defending his business (using pleading and non-violent force) can very easily be met with violent force. Whereas sometimes even the fear of violence is enough to stop the escalation of force. I honestly don't even know if that black man that defended his business lived. I can agree with you police need to be better at de-escalating they and their departments should be striving for that. Maybe training could help? Also at the same time I feel, and I'm not saying this is something that always happens but it's a thing that always happens under the given circumstances, when something isn't de-escalated without force (such as a failed de-escalation by a social worker or non-violent de-escalation by police) it by nature will escalate, so to prevent loss of life sometimes force can be necessary (such as what the police can do). So, leaving the police completely out of it in the first place could be dangerous to the social worker and other parties involved.
Your second sentence is very true, but not part of the quote I am disputing ("[companies don't] tell you the number of outstanding shares").

All the more reason to not give the police even more powerful tools with which to brutalize people. If the equipment is not the problem, take it away. That's one less thing to worry about.
This is kinda how extension packs work.

For example we got Carcassonne recently and it includes an "extension" (Abbots & Farmers). The rules has an additional sheet, so you can play the raw game and pick up the extension later once you've grokked the normal rules.

Settlers of Catan does a similar thing, they have a slightly more basic gameplay in the rules for people starting out.
