The justice dept definition as updated in 2012 would include this. I don’t know how that plays out in state law, but what I’ve read points to that being the definition for state charges too. Doesn’t help when it’s not enforced, which is clearly the case here since the officer didn’t have to register as a sex offender either.

This is the first time I can remember disagreeing with EFF's take on something. I've read the text of the EO a few times now looking the “threats to free expression” that supposedly should outrage me more than the already-ubiquitous and often-automated censorship of people online. I'm honestly floored to see EFF pull an “I'm not censorious, but…”.
You can't ascribe singular districts to Democrats gerrymandering. The ones in Ohio, Texas, Alabama, NC, Mich were all done by Republican legislatures, some using REDMap. And while Maryland is certainly an offender and they too should be subject to independent redistricting, comparing a single state with a concerted, organized, multistage effort using advanced mapping software designed to maximize your advantage is the kind of bullshit bothsiderism that the right and the apolitical love to use.

Stop punishing one party for not being perfect but striving for better, but letting the other off for the most blatantly obvious destructive practices because that is who they are.
There's a bridge between the two though, they do not exist in a vacuum separated from each other. Perhaps I lack imagination, but I don't see court reforms that could fully address this issue of the working relationship between police and prosecutors
They just need to sprinkle a little crack before making the arrest.
That’s kind of what most pragmatic leftist fundamentally want. Instead of getting wrapped up in melodramatic leftist emotional narratives, a lot of us really just want to push the left wing into the courts and be done with the national political mess.
Of course all of the problems in the black community stem from whites. If whites hadn’t been too lazy to pick their own cotton there wouldn’t be a black underclass in America, just the educated African immigrants like every other immigrant group. Whites don’t get to drag a whole population here against their will and then just say “figure your own shit out.”
On a completely unrelated matter how were you able to reassign your comments to a different username? I did not realize HN allowed that.
First, as a type nerd, I don't agree that Times is a bad font or that it signals "apathy." When I see nice kerning, judicious leading and tracking in a book design or webpage using a Times font - particularly LaTeX documents using TeX Gyre Termes - I'm generally very pleased.

Second, Plantin is not a "Times alternative," it is a variation on Bembo. Bembo is the opposite of Times ... it is e x p a n s i v e. It's like suggesting black as an alternative to white.

Third, I think the best alternative is actually NYT Imperial.
So, if one of those TV shows that ask people in the street about things (say, the old Candid Camera) come to me, and ask me something, and I start saying crap, fuck everyone, I'm going to kill whoever don't agree with me.

Do they have to put it in their program? Are they doing "censorship" when they cut out that part for their program? does the fact that "people have the right to know" what I am saying means that the TV program MUST keep my rant?

Of course not, that program (as twitter and facebook) is a private platform. They are free to put whatever they want. Their algorithms already heavily edit the conversation (like, I have 400 friends on facebook, and I usually only see from 10 of them at most when I load the page).

If someone working at Fox News suddenly does not agree with the content policies of the company, they will quit.
What makes Grubhub/doordash/etc so valuable to consumers, though, wouldn't be replicated by a premade system like that, though, no matter how good it was.

The killer feature is that it is a single market place. I go on the app, I can search through dozens of local restaurants, all with a consistent interface. I can place an order in a couple of clicks at a brand new restaurant I have never tried, and I dont have to enter any new information.

I can scroll through all my previous orders at all the previous restaurants, and re-order in one click.

This service can ONLY be provided by a unified platform. It doesn't matter how good a restaurants website is, I want ALL the restaurants in one place.

Now, could it be cheaper for restaurants? Does GH take too much of a cut? Maybe, but I don't know.... GH and DD both lose a ton of money, and have spent a ridiculous amount of money to get to where they are. Could anyone provide the service for a lot cheaper? If they could, they sure haven't yet.
Now post a compilation of rioter and looter attacks against citizens, especially the poor, elderly, and disabled citizens who can't afford to insulate ourselves from this like you rich SV sociopaths supporting all of this can.
Well, to be able to spot propaganda like the variety you’re spouting right now would be a decent start.

I’m not even sure where to begin worrying about the assets of WALMART AND LOUIS VITTON of all stores over the needs and apparent rage of the local community.
And let cops be gods and decide their demise is your solution? Is this what you want in law? Do you realize how absurd you sound?
Stop punishing one party for not being perfect but striving for better, but letting the other off for the most blatantly obvious destructive practices because that is who they are.

Hang on, you think that’s what I’m doing here? I don’t think we have a thing to discuss if this is really the immediate conclusion you’re coming to, since it frames my entire position as antagonistic to anything but whatever critique you think should be made instead, and there’s no way out of that corner for me, now is there?

How am I even supposed to respond to an assertion about what I’m doing when providing numerous sources for my position only to get boxed in as “letting the other off for the most blatantly obvious destructive practices”?

I’m no partisan hack, Gerrymandering and Senate Procedure are probably the best examples of how both parties engage in pure unabated gamesmanship to get what they want while launching strikes against the other side for doing the exact same thing. Either argue the impact and convince me why the rules are inconsistently applied (as I’ve shown clearly was the case with Harry Reid changing Senate confirmation rules) or don’t, but leave the straw manning at the door.’

BOTH parties deserve a wag of the finger and a volume of criticism for their behavior where warranted. This should not be excused by anyone who pretends to give a damn about the country.

> Looking at the code, I don't see any advantage of using imperative language here. All the conditions used there are already available and don't change during the execution of that code. So the conditionals would be nearly identical in functional language.

Yes, except that I can read this and I can't read nix. That's probably based on background, but more people are familiar with imperative than functional languages.

> Nix advantage here would be that is lazily evaluated, so there would be an additional benefit that only conditionals that are used are evaluated.

Agreed, although that's unlikely to be unique to nix?

> Functional benefit of Nix would be that Nix would know that a package doesn't need to be rebuilt if no inputs changed.

As would anything that can compare hashes. Or heck, make(1) can do as much.
I've had a pretty great experience calling restaurants to place orders. I talk to a human, tell them my order, they repeat it back to me, and tell me it will be X dollars and ready at Y o'clock. I show up at the specified time and the order is ready to go. A couple times I had to wait 5 minutes because they were inundated and couldn't keep up.

No stupid app to download. No account to create. No bullshit fees. No marketing emails. I just tell them what I want and then go get it. It's refreshing.
Does the app, actually uninstall other apps?

I could see that being a problem.
Really!? Wow. I don't see how, will read about it. Do you have any link to read? (any excuse to read about Sid Meier's Pirates! and the C64 is good).

In any case, C64's BASIC "programming" meant that for graphics and audio you were mostly POKEing and PEEKing, since its instruction set was very limited. And when you're mostly peeking and pooking directly at memory, you're barely writing BASIC, are you? ;)

edit: I tracked down a 2014 comment from HN saying the same as you: that Pirates! was mostly written in BASIC. I'm amazed. Now I really want to see the source code and/or read a "making of".
You don't see democrats screaming about it either. Democrats love the police state and their usual trick is to rotate through who has to take the bad vote so that authoritarian measures barely pass while the bad rep doesn't keep sticking to the same people.
And apparently the founders of grubhub made the choice to form a grossly immoral business that _also_ loses money hand over fist
The problem was that electoral system in the US takes no steps to mitigate the issue. Without a preferential voting system of any kind, there's no possible way to have anything other then 2 viable parties, and an attempt to create a third rewards whichever side has a more entrenched voting block.

It also robs the US of a signalling mechanism: there's no way for the Republicans or Democrats to see that they didn't get primary vote share and only recovered it after specific-issue or more focused parties dropped out.

The US desperately needs preferential voting and mandatory voting. The default supposition of the US has to be that there must be exceptional circumstances as to why any individual did not vote.
Freedom can't survive long if people aren't willing to make sacrifices for it.
One of the coolest parts of GH and DD, though, is being able to try a new restaurant without having to enter any new information.

Also, calling on the phone is not always easy; I often place orders on my phone while simultaneously on a work call, or putting my kid down for a nap, or doing something else where speaking is not easy.
Many comments here assuming that we can get out of this hole we've fallen into by changing laws or replacing the administration.

Perhaps things are falling apart because of the massive influx of underdeveloped evil egos: they've got a supermajority mostly everywhere and can ignore the few good people. This is what some Hindi manuscripts mean by kali-uga - the dark age.

With this skeptical view in mind, there isn't much we can do to reverse the flow. It's a flood and we can do our part to minimize the damage, but ultimately we have to wait when the weather changes.
> There are lots of systems that are more or less right in version 1.

While true, in my experience this usually happened when at least one - if not all three - of these conditions were true:

1. The problem domain is relatively static, unmoving, and self contained

2. The systems in question is relatively small

3. The developers in question have written substantially similar systems before, or ground locally, or used version 0.x version numbers first (in any of these cases, is it really "version 1" per se?)

...game development is admittedly weak in all 3 categories, and high on time pressure. Oh sure, there's some solid code that will probably last decades in many codebases, but even the best programmers will occasionally make a system that - while good in isolation - needs reworking when combined with other systems - to say nothing of the content and rendering pipelines that vary wildly by decade.
Awesome, I had exactly this idea.. you should consider expanding (if you don’t already) to direct from the restaurant services (e.g. Yoshinoya is available on doordash but also does their own delivery for way less). And then charge $1 per order and raise $1b!

Speaking as a Smalltalk programmer active in the 1990s we pretty much dropped everything when Java showed up. It had the things we loved in Smalltalk (portable virtual machine, garbage collection, self-documenting APIs, collection classes, etc.) with the familiar syntax of C++ and concurrency.

In a way Smalltalk prepared the way for Java in that it showed how great VMs and garbage collection were.
Hi HN, after trying to research various phases of a startup, I realized there wasn't a curated list or at least I couldn't find any. So I committed to make a list using notion of all the articles I could find (Ideas, MVP, Marketing, etc). It's a working progress but if you have any resources please do share so I can include them in the final product.

Thanks for your support!
"all incidences of violence that I have witnessed either in person or through media has been instigated by the police"

You "witnessed" incidents "through the media"?

It sounds like your perspective is as informed as anyone who is watching videos on the internet. And since you're a self-professed "bleeding heart liberal" you're likely consuming a biased selection of videos that fit into the narrative your tribe has endorsed.

The "bleeding heart liberal" talking point is that police officers are "instigating" all of these riots. This is mental gymnastics and doesn't even make sense. Even children aren't allowed to use the "they started it" excuse. How do police responding to protests justify burning and looting?

Even the very heart of the issue is not clear.

Is it even true that black people are treated worse by police? Do black police officers treat black people worse than white police officers? Is it a racial issue or a class issue? Are poor white people treated better or worse?

These are unanswered questions. Anyone who claims to know is confused or lying. The propaganda on the left is that even asking this question makes you a racist Nazi.

You will hear "bleeding heart liberals" claim that "white people demonstrated with machine guns and the police did nothing to them" as if this counts as proof of something, ignoring the massive differences besides race. The obvious difference being that these weren't anti-police riots...

It's very clear that anyone who cares about police reform should be disassociating themselves with the violent people who don't actually give a shit about the cause. And yet, instead, we see the "bleeding heart liberals" rushing to justify and rationalize it.
Simply because police declare a constitutionally-protected protest activity unlawful doesn’t make it so. The police are an authority to make the call, but they aren’t the last call on unlawfulness, and they don’t have unlimited lawful uses of power to disperse peaceful assembly. The Geneva Conventions still apply to individual and collective police conduct, as treaties we have signed and ratified are equal to the law of the land under the Constitution. And ultimately, citizens have a right to protest. The police aren’t a part of the Constitution. Police in early America didn’t exist as such. The closest we had were colonial slave catchers.

Ultimately, we have direct democracy and direct rule all the time already, right now. It’s just unevenly distributed. Private citizens self-organizing to shield, shelter, protect, and share free speech with protesters, inside their homes, to escape police brutalities outside, all proves that the state needs the people’s authority, not the other way around. The police, private property representatives, politicians, and laws exist as an escape valve, short circuit, methodology, and framework for such a democracy to exist as it was able to be conceived of administered upon its founding. These are not bad ideas or implementations. But we should have more of a say in how our country is run at every level. With current technology, we have the means to enact instant direct democracy with no politicians, only bills, amendments, and voters; with instant implementation, and with instant lawsuit argument and just-in-time adjudication. The question is, do we have the will?
This is really interesting, it is the important parts about local government we don't usually see (RIP real local news). It would be a really good experiment to try other ways of policing. Police have a lot of levers to push government Discussed in the thread, and other things like union bloc voting, etc. Balancing power in government would produce better outcomes for everyone.
My humble security advice:

1) If you don't need it - don't store it. If you need it - but it needs to be encrypted - probably! don't store it.

2) Think one way hashes with salts, think deletion policies, rotations, small disk drives.

3) You will get owned!!

If you had put it to them as a hypothetical scenario at the time, what percentage of 2016 Trump voters would you guess would approve of how his administration is handling the protests? Or what about other issues?

This does not align with my experience. I off 3rd street, right by the La Cienega where significant looting occured. I intentionally walked outside while looting/vandalism was occurring and there was absolutely no police presence whatsoever except for police helicopters.

I walked down third street until I reached the point where the riot police set up a barricade and didn't allow the protesters further. It was really a peaceful scene where the police were setup, and I thought it was being handled very professionally with the goal to not incite violence (There were also 6 police helicopters circling the area) Everywhere the police were not there was looting.

The amount of misinformation being circulated is staggering.

Nobody needs to charge money for me to be able to sign my executables with something like PGP.

And yet the message is very clearly "THIS IS UNSAFE" because "WE don't know the guy". It isn't "Don't run"/"Run anyway thanks." It's "DON'T RUN" in BOLD in an eye-catching bright box in a prominent location where buttons go and "(more info)" in body text somewhere else.
I’d argue that it would be impossible for them to be ignorant of it. The constitutional convention itself had a bifurcation on the issue of slavery from the get go.

These will fail. 1) Not accurate enough; 2) Don’t account for walls/floors; 3) Will have low adoption where anything less than full adoption means fail; 4) can’t account for actually having a virus.

"people of color can’t protest without the president calling for them to be roughed up"

Did Trump call for them to be "roughed up" before or after the protests turned into riots?

A more intellectual honest version might be:

"people can’t riot without Trump calling for them to be aggressively policed"

The splintering of reality is the scariest thing going on in the U.S. Some of us are still trying to stay grounded in facts while others float away on clouds of propaganda.
Most of the 2020 presidential candidates have posted links. I know for sure Bernie has. If you can trust their team, then that seems like a safe bet.

Google's KMS pricing structure is $0.06/key/month + $0.03/10,000 encrypts/decrypts [0].

At $0.06/key/month, that's practically free for most reasonable use cases. For example, if there's 10k secrets that's $7,200/year.

If you encrypt/decrypt your secrets 1 million times per day (~11.6 times/s), the access charges would be $1,095/year (1 million operations/day * 365 days/year * $0.03 / 10,000 operations).

They employed either a very persuasive graduate student, or a chamber filled with pure nitrogen.

From the experimental method section of the original paper: [1]

“A BX90-type diamond anvil cell equipped with 80 μm diameter diamond anvil culets was prepared. A 200 μm thick rhenium foil was indented down to 12 μm and a sample cavity of 40 μm in diameter was laser-drilled at the center of the indentation. Two agglomerates of submicron-sized gold particles, each of approximately 2 μm in size, were loaded into the sample chamber to serve as both YAG laser absorbers and pressure gauges. The cell was then loaded with pure nitrogen gas at ~1200 bars.”
