People on this thread usually use the Latin alphabet, but in Persian (and some other languages), the righting is from right to left, which is yet another barrier in using English terms in a text. I've had to switch languages constantly to write a message in Persian that would make sense. Doing the same in English would probably be much easier, but not everybody would be able to understand it and respond to it in English. Also, sometimes the platform doesn't even support mixture of RTL and LTR languages. For example, the following sentence is messed up (it's supposed to mean "an example of Linux-based Operating Systems")

مثالی از سیستم عامل های مبتنی بر Linux

In Persian (Farsi), we usually take the English term and add a form of "kardan" (meaning "to do") to make a new Persian verb. For example, "commit kardan" (to commit), "commit kon" ([you must] commit), etc.

However, due to publishing rules, people have to use literal translations instead of the foreign ones in formal situations. Sometimes, those actually convey the same meaning as the English terms, but other times, they're just more confusing.

The Wikipedia page you cite does not support your position:

> Ultimately, a media consortium [...] hired NORC at the University of Chicago[68] to examine 175,010 ballots that were collected from the entire state, not just the disputed counties that were recounted [...]

That's saying that it was sampled from the entire state rather than "select" counties.

On a broader point, it seems pretty safe to say that a 100% accurate tally of the votes in Florida would have given the state to Gore, but it is unclear if any recount would have given that result. Note that in addition to the infamous hanging chad controversy, there's also a decent chunk of votes for Pat Buchanan in areas that don't match up with his demographic base that were probably meant for Gore.

Or put somewhat differently, Florida in 2000 was a case where the margin of victory was less than its ability to accurately record votes.

There's plenty of bad actors looking drum up violence as well. At the very least you get the kind of person who starts fights in a bar for the sport of it. Police can work with organizers to do something about it or they can choose to let it boil over.
> but it does not alleviate us of our civic responsibility.

The protests haven’t worked though for the last 20 years or so. IMO it’s more important to vote and promote change than to block traffic.

People remember how you made them feel more easily than what you actually said. Preventing them from getting somewhere is a great way to just piss people off.
So your solution to "people are evil and violent" is to... give a bunch of people carte blanche to be evil and commit violence with no accountability or recourse available to their victims?

You are trying to sound objective by comparing protests but frankly you sound downright foolish.

You're comparing protests about systemic racism and murder to protests getting hair cuts and lowering taxes.

Of course one side's protests usually break out in violence. They are protesting the very fact that they are inordinately subject to widespread state-sanctioned violence.

I am a (non-native) Mandarin Chinese speaker, and I'm essentially unable to have the most basic conversation about programming. No terms that I'm aware of are phonetic transfers (Chinese does that occasionally, but not often), they're all new terms, and I can't formulate a single sentence without having to look everything up. It's like having to relearn the language -- very frustrating!

(Not saying they should be doing it this way -- in a way I'm glad they are.)

I watched this video and I think it presents a skewed perspective on things to lead you towards a certain outcome. I think it's worth questioning the underlying assumption throughout that video, which is that guns need to be involved in these scenarios at all.

In the first scenario, if someone chooses to randomly shoot a police officer then nothing can be done. This is generally true throughout society. If people choose to randomly shoot others they can mostly succeed. This is not an argument for an officer having a gun, but for less guns to be involved in society in general. Even if the activist or newscaster had a gun drawn from the beginning the outcome easily could/would have been the same.

In the second scenario, there's no reason for a gun to be involved over something less lethal like a taser or a baton. This is essentially a misdirect after people are freaked out from the first scenario.

In the third scenario, again why is a gun involved? Similarly a taser or baton would get the job done. Or actually using other tools like handcuffs rather than shakily pointing a gun at someones back, which is begging for an accident.

All of this to me ironically paints a picture of guns unnecessarily escalating situations, rather than the point they were trying to make.

> conducting contact tracing of people arrested

I'm pretty sure this is standard when police think that more than one person committed the crime. I don't think "contact tracing" in this case is any different than just "investigate the crime and follow the leads".

The 50 states and many large metros have fusion centers that were already gathering, collating, and redirecting national security info. If the NSA was given authority to target the protests (probably, because the president and DoJ are claiming other nations are agitators), this might be happening.

> vscode's remote development UX is really really nice

I'm very interested in this, so looked it up.

For your use case, I think it's just a matter of setting the correct Deployment Mappings. There's a setting when you're creating the remote interpreter to specify your own mapped directory (not the default /tmp/pycharm-foo) and a checkbox to not have it automatically upload what you have on your local machine (since in your case the source of truth is the remote). Then you can manually sync the diffs yourself with pycharm or git.

Your workflow's interesting in that the remote machine is the main and your laptop's the satellite, and pycharm's model has it the other way around.

Also, if you've already got the interpreter set up, you can just change the deployment mapping settings.

From that perspective (and it is a good one to take) that tax half is taken away after your employer takes a much larger percentage of the value away from the profit generated by your work. You get way more in exchange for the taxes at least. How come that much bigger chunk is mentioned so much less often?
Tips for living your best RemoteDevLife
Note: These are stylists and not engineers.

I've tried StitchFix twice and found their stylists pretty lacking in terms of value they add. They don't listen to your requests and I'm sure most of them just have templates of stuff they send out w/o looking at what you liked / disliked. I'm fairly certain it's a role that can be very easily filled regardless of the Zipcode.

In fact, I was pretty convinced until now that the stylists were just algorithms but it looks like I was wrong.
I’ve often been intrigued at the sense of fascination, cultural and technological, directed towards the USSR on HN. I share the fascination. It may stem from an appeal to see engineered works from a system far different than our own both on the technology front as well as cultural engineering/propaganda front; there may be some appeal in the notion that the USSR is historically contained/bounded in some sense and can be isolated and studied; also, the political message of focusing national efforts on progress/technology in some sense would resonate with engineers (though communist policies impeded innovation and no doubt industrious politicians stood to gain more than industrious scientists/engineers at most junctures). Would be interested in others’ thoughts.
And I completely feel where the protesters are coming from. They have every right to be angry and every right to protest. But when there are gangs of looters roving the streets, sometimes our rights have to be temporarily restricted to stop them.
"Let" sounds a bit too passive for a lot of what's happening though.

I guess my point was that at a police brutality protest, you have protestors facing police which is instantly adversarial and a form of counter protest if cards are played poorly. If you have a reopen rally per the example up-thread, you're (very generally speaking) not going to have quite the animosity between them and those securing the area. And combine that with the fact that someone not wanting to rush and reopen is likely to stay at home per state instructions.

We may be entering a new phase of this disease soon. Treatments are coming along.

Stanford is testing interferon-lambda.[1] Known drug, used for treating hepatitis. This has to be given early, within 2 days of testing positive for the virus. A group in the UK is testing interferon-beta.

Eli Lily is testing an engineered antibody.[2] This is new technology, an antibody specifically targeted to this virus. Testing in humans just started; no results yet. Lily is putting this into production in advance of testing, to get the production scaleup problems out of the way, in hope it works.

There are other drugs in development; these are all in human testing now.

Early stage treatment options change things. Advice will change from "stay home until it gets serious" to "get tested and treated as soon as there's any suspicion." Instead of overloaded ICUs, front-line medical care gets overloaded. It really starts to matter than the US doesn't have enough testing capacity.

I have been putting at least 20% into dev/biz learning even when having full time employment. Sorta took a page from the 20% idea at Google and applied it to myself.

I have seen similar results, in capabilities and revenues (income). I advocate for it at places I contract, but, unfortunately, many never adopt and realize the long term gains.

So I would say, to answer your question, self/skill/career development has been the 20% with the best ROI

Maybe, somewhat to the opposite side (and morbidly), I have pondered as I make choices with my time, "is this something, when I'm on my death bed, that I will wish I spent more or less time doing?" So I stopped watching video based entertainment (tv, movies, Netflix, et al) and that may actually be far more significant of the choices, as it gave me the time to use for self improvement. Not sure where I'm going with this, food for thought anyhow.

> between 90 percent and 95 percent—of the civilians shot by officers were actively attacking police or other citizens when they were shot”

Sounds like the vast majority used exactly the amount of force required.

Also, does not anywhere state the types of crimes being committed which would be relevant.
So the arguments against my comment (and downvotes) so far have been about how people are stupid or how they base their reality on action movie knowledge.

I don't think people are that stupid, really. And I don't think they don't understand that Tesla's autopilot is not a chauffeur.

As I said, I do think Tesla can do a better job and hey they should probably consider a new name just to get this over with, but I simply cannot agree with everyone in all these threads going on and on about the name being at fault.

People would find some other thing to blame if the name were drive assistant or cruise control, as long as Tesla is advertising or wants to advertise the more modern features of it. Say Tesla says it's advanced cruise control doing a, b, and c that others don't provide, people will still blame a, b, or c when those linked with driver neglect cause an accident.

Note, I'm also not saying Tesla is great here and not at fault. If their systems don't do a, b, and c properly or steer you into a concrete wall then it's their fault. But IMO it's just not because it's called autopilot.

What I think instead is that the fact that there is a system that let's people zone out in 90 per cent of traffic without annoying the driver about paying attention is the issue. It really doesn't matter what the name is as long as there are measures in place to keep the driver focused.

I think the whole issue clashes though. It's difficult to have these auto-steering features for comfort but then demand reduced comfort. So bottom line for me is that those systems all aren't ready and the naming is simple a bikeshedding topic because it is easy to attack and also brings put this "people are stupid" superiority feeling in people.
I'm quite familiar with Marbury v. Madison; it does not give the Supreme Court the sole ability or power to "shape the boundaries of constitutional law" either. It simply defines a key part of what "judicial power" means.
This is going to be an interesting one. They better hope that they’ve found a way to train a stylist really well, because people paying money for a personal stylist want styles from New York and LA. You can get Pittsburgh style in the on-sale rack at Kohl’s.
This doesn't really make sense to me.

One sentence you're saying the Fed will "press the cost of the debt...lower...and hold rates low permanently." If I'm reading this right, you're talking about the government rolling over its maturing debt into new debt with lower IR.

Then you're talking about the effect of "increasing debt maintenance costs" -- but if the Treasury gets to sell low-interest debt to pay off high-interest debt, isn't that going to decrease its debt maintenance costs?

> The increasing debt maintenance costs rob the economy of dynamism and growth

Hold on a second, I thought we were talking about Treasuries? How does that affect the the private sector?

I get that private IR usually moves in lockstep with government IR (at a mostly fixed offset representing relative risk levels).

But I don't get why a low IR is bad for business. Don't the low rates stimulate companies to build themselves up faster with cheap borrowed money?
