More specifically, the problem is that public transportation is public and therefore can't or won't enforce the standards for ridership that any sane private company would--the violent, the antisocial, the mentally ill, the people who believe personal hygiene is optional. When my girlfriend of a few years ago was forced to take the bus to work regularly, she was harassed on a daily basis. Public availability doesn't have to mean no accountability, but somehow it devolves to that. And as long as that holds, folks who have the means will pay to avoid it.

That's quite surprising to me! Because it used to be the case that some reading ability in German was required for the serious engineer or scientist.

From memory from around 1850 up to 1920s.

(I'm not that old heh, but I know people who have done serious
historical research in engineering that required German)

Show me your local department's statistics on police brutality, and I'll let you know what I think. If you want an even better opinion, tell me your race and the races of any victims.
You can run many old operating systems including esoteric one using virtual machine. Modern computers use very little overhead for virtualization.
Rioters are almost always young. Especially now, when many young people are unemployed (Corona) or out of school for the summer.
No, people are quoting MLK to point out the destructive and counter-productive nature of rioting and looting.

As to how long—given that the issue is logistics and not morality, indefinitely. Absent dissolution of the United States, there will never come a time when violent resistance becomes a more pragmatic solution than non-violent resistance. It’s a grim observation, but it’s worth noting that Jews lived peacefully alongside their neighbors in Poland for centuries, only to have their neighbors turn on them when Hitler rose to power. That is not to say we can’t make it better, but how much better it can be and what means we can use to make it better are circumscribed by the parameters of the human condition.
According to Donald Rumsfeld, looting is a normal step on the road from oppression to freedom.

Funny how your call statistics/number racist. Godwin's Law in action.
In Romania we are used to have praceful protests turn into vandalism, it’s a known thing already: agitators are brought in, chaos starts, police ram onto peaceful protesters, including moms, kids , some grandmas and grandpas, some disabled. They thus end the peaceful protests and more vandalism takes place. This is a classic tactic form soviet opression and control manuals, since we’re in their sphere of influence. I shouldn’t be surprised if Amerika has mighty methods of control and supression, sure, not like China and Russia but in an perverted way nonetheless
This is what worries me most about being a mid 20's person during the pandemic.

I know its unlikely I'd die if I contracted but if it left me with significant long term health problems, that's what keeps me inside.
I think this is a smart way to introduce C.
I'm not sure how you read my comment as not wanting fair compensation. But there is a difference between fair compensation and everyone paid the same. Equal access to opportunities doesn't mean everyone makes 400k, it would mean everyone starts with the same opportunities to get there, and their choices determine where they go. That said, we're not an egalitarian society. We may aspire to it, we may be closer to it than we were 200 years ago, but we're not there yet.

In anycase, perfect egalitarianism is probably not possible. But for an excellent work on the subject, see John Rawls' work Justice as Fairness. As political philosophical texts go, it's fairly accessible to outsiders to the field, and it is comprehensive on the topic.
> I know of the localized versions of StackOverflow but they hardly are worth visiting.

Portuguese is my native english but I never use the portuguese version of StackOverflow. The english version content is just so much better that I don't bother looking at the portuguese one.

Wikipedia is an interesting case as well, since it's also available in several languages. I tend to favour the english version when looking for content that is somewhat culturally neutral.

> It's not an issue, it's awesome.

If you're a native english speaker it's really awesome. If you aren't and don't speak the language it's yet another barrier for learning. Even greater if developers that speak your language decide to dismiss it and adopt english at all times. I believe that's the point "rglullis" was trying to make.
Glancing at your comments, it does seem like you're conscious of US politics. Do you think it shouldn't be posted because it doesn't seem relevant to the current situation, or because you disagree with the connotations of a legal restriction on this particular use of force?
I don't have the ROE cards anymore, but generally there was a 'wartime' and 'police or peace keeping'

In war like operations you'd still follow the rules of war, but generally you were shooting first to take objectives, there was a lot of latitude.

In peace keeping and non warlike, everything was about a force continuum.

- Ie we will patrol with weapons slung over our shoulders, with the weapons at 'action' (cocked but safe) and hands by our sides.

- If things change we actively patrol with our weapons (Still at action)-

- then you get to pointing weapons (action)

- cocking weapons (for direct crowd control, kinda silly because you lose a round at with this action but it makes the point you ain't stuff about)

- Then there's pointing with safety off, and closely followed by firing at people. (A lot is happening to get here in 'police' or 'peace keeping' scenarios)

Also our ROE had specifics such as, if your are engaged by IED or Ambush you can fire when fired upon but you can't fire at suspected targets (Like anyone on a cell phone), you have to confirm the threat. Which is pretty reasonable but in war like operations you may just fire at positions of cover because there could be enemy waiting there and you're generally trying to suppress an area. You don't want to do that in a heart's and minds kinda fight.

Anyway, I can't remember them all and they have probably changed over the last decade. But those are the main points and generally we didn't make the first move. we just waited.

I remember being shouted at by some kids and young guys for like an hour and just waiting them out. It was very frustrating but my rifle and grenades would have just created bigger issues.

> Your motorcycle isn't your shelter

Not seen news come out of people's homes destroyed. If we're going to participate in a damages competition, though, let's do that - the cops shot out a couple people's eyeballs, but only after of course kicking off this whole thing by murdering black people with no consequences. There, that settles that.
In this particular case, maybe it was possible to avoid it, but in general, small changes in trajectory in a car can cause big consequences. This tractor trailer may have been huge and crosswise, but many things you are supposed to come within inches and so long as you miss it by millimeters, there's no problem.
What's the gross margin on iOS and macOS?
It'll definitely fly once, but probably not more than that.

The first rocket, scheduled for an unmanned flight in late 2021, is ready-ish. The second flight is currently scheduled for 2023 and I would agree that one will never fly. With both Starship, and to a lesser extent New Glenn flying by then, it would be sheer lunacy to continue with it.
If enough protests go on for long enough, there will be a much worse recession. Hard to profit off of that
It's old-fashioned, but branch does have a Korean equivalent: 분기 (literally "branching", or a single branch separating into multiple branches). E.g., 무조건 분기 (unconditional branch), 조건 분기 (conditional branch), 분기문 (branch statement).

(I suspect it was imported from Japanese 分岐.)
Loss of smell is special because it tends to happen to mild cases more than severe cases.

The idea seems to be that SARS-CoV-2 can infect both the upper and lower respiratory tract. Lower infection attack the lungs and are typically much more severe. Presumably that's what makes SARS classic so deadly. Upper infections are typically milder but spread more easily, that's what the flu and common cold do.

Loss of smell would indicate a upper respiratory tract infection, and therefore a higher chance of generally mild symptoms, more like the flu than SARS.

I don't know what the latest scientific literature has to say about that though, everything is so recent. Loss of smell wasn't even recognized as a symptom 3 months ago...
They’re arguing that the whole idea behind the web is that different people can try different things with different priorities and constraints.

The priorities shouldn’t be dictated by a single company.

I don’t fault Google for what they are doing (besides the AMP stuff). The problem the author is talking about is largely because google is the de facto way pretty much the entire world finds new stuff.

If website discovery was driven by blofs and the like wns people then added the stuff they liked to their RSS readers then the authors issue would be resolved.

Unfortunately that world doesn’t exist anymore and Google’s preferences end up dictating what all websites prioritize.

There's also a device consisting of an electrode array for the tongue to attempt to provide an additional sense:

"Tactile Vision Substitution (TVS) was the initial motivation for designing the TDU. With TVS, a user-controlled video camera captures a real-time image from the ambient environment and provides a spatially-corresponding tactile stimulation to the user’s skin."
If it's doing a disservice to language and logic, why are you engaging with it talking about what would be "thus allowed"? Because it's fun, is why. I'm not confused by it, I'm taking their word as literal and asked a non-serious question that would go well with a thinking_face emoji.
In this case, the knee was there regardless and the colleague recognised the "bad optics" (as they say). Looked like natural behaviour from the first cop rather than "I'm trying to prove we kneel on all necks" too.
Etsy does this too, albeit in a more sophisticated way, if you are logged in and abandon your cart within 12-24h there's a high chance you get an email offering you a 5-15% discount code for that product.
> The taxes the government collects don't actually get recirculated back into the economy.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Sure a small percentage of taxes go towards expenses in foreign countries or to foreign companies. But social security? Medicare/Medicaid? All those defense contractors? The roughly 2 million federal government employees? All those expenses are going straight back into the US economy are they not?
After adjusting your statistics to take into account that black people are 14% of the US population, I have come to the conclusion that black people are murdered by cops at a terrifyingly higher level than white people.

Why didn't you come to the same conclusion? Is it a lack of knowledge of statistics, or is it an irrational value system that depends on confirmation bias to continue to exist, i.e., racism?

It certainly doesn't help that the same people I've seen post that exact page with no context whatsoever on twitter were self-avowed racists. Any particular reason you find yourself in their camp?

I think we've encountered a vocabulary black-hole.

And after reading the actual article, Norimaki doesn't quite roll of the tongue but I see where the author was headed.
Probably a mix of different people with different motives: agent provocateurs, looters, politically motivated property destroyers, struggling business owners seeking to cash in on the insurance, thrill-seekers.
The legality of antifa as a terrorist organisation aside, there are numerous examples since the civil war of presidents using the military outside the scope of posse comitatus act.

It's ironic that you can burn down a business and the political infrastructure says it's fine, yet try to open your salon or attend a church mass and your arrested.
Hasn’t Stripe and others cannibalized the POS market? I figured that market would be saturated. Being another software/hardware guy the various POS systems Always seemed an interesting market. Do you do lot of custom work building custom POS?

Ah, fair enough. I agree with this. They call this epistemology right?

In any case, I always thought this type of stuff was a bit pendantic. And in some perspectives, I still think it is. Such as the "I need to get stuff done" perspective.

However, when I took truffles in Amsterdam (that's legal), this is exactly what I went through. And from that experience I can truly only know that: I experience therefore I am.

It's a spin on Descartes, but suffice to say I couldn't really think (not logically anyway), but I could still experience. It's really unsettling to be corrupted. You have no clue what comes next really.

Other than that, the idea that I assume reality to be true is already a leap of faith. It might all be a fantasy world or a dream. It also might be what we think it is: real.
Seems like to claim "Virtue Signaling" you have a.) "show of caring" but no evidence of b.) "wanting some benefit from giving the appearance".

And without any attempt of evidence or justification for claim of B, just dropping the accusation of virtual signaling comes across as merely trying to describe "openly not being an asshole" as if it were a bad thing.
Perhaps the Justice Department has discovered foreign ties to Antifa that makes the designation legal.
The police and police wives in my family were the loudest mockers of the kneeling protests, which were perfectly quiet and peaceful.

"Blacks commit crimes at higher rates than others."
"It's not a police problem, it's a crime problem."
"I don't want to hear this crap when I get home from work."

> Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. -- John F. Kennedy, 1962

The inaction of police to reform themselves and elected officials to reform the laws that govern them is incentive to make it much easier for domestic terrorism to thrive.

Looking for a fulltime or contract position (even smaller contracts to add some bandwidth).
I believe Reply All did a podcast on 'services' that essentially blackmail you by taking arrest records and placing them on the first page of google. So an arrest can become a black mark on your record. Or, you pay up. Pretty scummy stuff
Either:

- you know "antifa" is not an organization and therefore isn't one that can be designated as terrorist, or
- you don't know that

If the latter, you just sound like a really big internet tough guy. If the former, you also know that "antifa" is short for "antifascist" and your clear designation of that as an enemy is also clear signaling that you're in for fascism.
Imagine being born into a society that brutally enslaved your ancestors for centuries. And after that ended, the society continued to severely oppress those who look like you in countless ways -- through savage violence, terrible government policies, and pervasive racist cultural norms both blatant and subtle -- even to this very day. Years of living in such a society must take a serious toll on them.
Statistics can absolutely be racist. Numbers might not lie (except when they do), but they can use some odd definition, use different metrics, or scale different populations differently/unevenly (as is the case here).

When you use any misleading technique on a statistic that obscures the truth, you are lying. When you put up a number to proof a point about a minority that is absolutely not true, that is a lie, and this number is racist.
Right wing groups posing as antifa.
Happens in Europe too.
Blaming the boogy man of White Nationalists, Russia, or outside outside agitators is a way to shift blame by politicians and an easy scapegoat.
Amusingly the governor of Minnesota, and a big city MN mayor blamed vandalism & lootingrioters as being the work of people who were all from out of state, thereby parroting Trump's same line (or he theirs).

They (not Trump of course) had to walk it back when it turned out not to be true.

Is there some outside groups posing as others, possibly, but to blame a majority of problems on them is just BS.
> Sure, but that code is generally tied to a license. Very rarely are people releasing things into the public domain.

That's only to work around the fact that relevant governments are incompetent to send corporations and executives to prison for source code fraud. (That is, providing software exclusively in a form - such as a service like Office 365, physical device like a shitphone, or build artifact like a .exe file - that is not fit for use due to the practical inability to perform maintainance and further software development on it.)
He was on fentanyl, right? Elephant tranquilizer.
Insightful reply. I marched yesterday and police fired rubber bullets into a peaceful crowd because we were blocking a non-essential intersection. On a Sunday.

We refused to leave and fortunately they left and let us have a peaceful march.

There doesn’t seem to be an interest in separating out the extreme minority that protest violently. There had been zero violence or destruction that day. A very well-behaved crowd exercising peaceful civil disobedience met by violence from police. In 2020.
Blog is perhaps too weak a term; it is far more than that. I'm sorry that it's not intuitive or polished. It really isn't everyone's cup of tea. In a way, it is difficult to navigate because it's huge (much larger than most people would predict). There are currently +12,000 different pages inside the html file. Even the questions of what I think is Good, what is good in the wiki, and what it is good for, are core problems I wrestle with quite a bit inside it. I suggest that if it were to be useful to you, it would be in virtue of your patience and curiosity. I'm not trying to be obscure here, and it's not a mere game. I just don't know how to say it any better. I recommend wandering the entrance.
If you adjust by per-police encounter you've already shot yourself in the foot - we know that police stop black people at a far greater percentage than white:

That's a video of George Floyd being murdered by cops. Do you even know what we are talking about? The cops are violent. They could de-escalate instead of use violence. The agenda is talking about this article https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/de-escalation-keeps-pro...
Didn't Donald Trump retweet this fact as well? That's where I first heard it.
Foreign ties like 75 years of postwar philosophical resistance to fascism around the planet?
