There is still the question of why so many people are deficient in B12, D, iron, and magnesium. Is it because they don't eat enough of those specific vitamins/minerals or is it because their kidneys/livers/other organs have been damaged by a modern diet or by stress or through environmental pollutants. I'm willing to bet that in developed nations, it is less deficiency of vitamins or minerals in diet and more a defect of the body.

I am a wargamer too! Are you familiar with Arty's "Crossfire"? That's a marvelous wargame (the best WWII game in my opinion) with a very basic set of rules. The complexity comes from scenario design and gameplay itself -- the rules are trivial.
I'd rather stick with "dark pattern", which on its own literally means nothing (abstract notions don't have physical colors or brightness), and so can be safely assigned a specific meaning in a specific context without risk of ambiguity or even deception.
> It ran totally without judicial oversight or legislative charter.

Funny how they later added 'judicial oversight' and things didn't change much. Secret courts are not proper oversight. The FBI should be handling all domestic cases, period (NSLs are another matter).

That said, automated keyword search at that volume in the 1960s is extremely impressive.

This is probably the 1990s-2000s equivalent of doing keyword search for every single 'foreign' phone call coming into the US or across pipes the US controls (one side or both having some international signal). Considering one of the first NSA technology releases was around voice parsing this is likely old hat by now.
You do get the fallacy here right? You can say that about anything. Shouldn't we also put severe restrictions on sugar consumption since that kills more people than malaria and covid19 combined? You can use your argument about literally anything that kills people and has a greater than 0 chance of happening. Have you looked at any statistics yourself aside from reading articles?

If you have to put up money to file a counter-notice but you get it back when the content gets restored, you're only out that money for at most 10 business days, and only having to put up money for at most one notice at a time per work you've uploaded. That's probably still a bit unfair to the victims of DMCA abuse, but it's hard to financially crush an accused infringer this way. And if the accused infringer gets part of the accuser's fee when the accuser declines to take the dispute to court, then users have a chance to make money off insincere copyright trolls.
For a PKI, you can also afford relatively more complexity with respect to the root CA key if you use intermediate CAs for most things and are careful with their expiration.

Walmart are scumbags who will pursue shoplifting charges with no evidence and try to collect from innocent people.

Is it possible to use the runtime with glTF2 files exported directly from Blender[1], i.e. without involving Kuesa 3D Studio?

If so, are there any features of the runtime that can only be utilized in combination with Kuesa 3D Studio?

For the features which could be utilized on on their own (if any), what are the advantages of working in Kuesa 3D Studio rather than exporting straight from Blender?

The entire point of authnicode wasn't to protect users, it was to make sure software wasn't modified in flight (ala what SourceForge did), and to make those binaries accountable.

Now we're getting to the point that this feels like a protection racket. It, at least in theory, is possible for individuals to get EV certificates for websites. Worst case scenario, you can get a one man business for the paperwork.

A lot of viruses can hit via either remote code execution, or exploiting a bug when loaded through a data file. Neither of those scenarios is stopped by SmartScreen. At best, it stops someone from clicking "WannaCry.exe".

MSFT is basically doing everything to make you use the Store, and it reeked back with Windows RT, and it reeks even more now.

Unfortunately, it seems MSFT is incapable of creating a version of Windows that doesn't have live tiles, constantly tracking what applications you run. I switched to Linux years ago, but I realize that most people live in a Windows ecosystem, and that they're subject to the whims of MSFT.
Relative to industry size?

From what I understand, assaults on health care workers is a large issue, but they are also much more numerous than law enforcement. It's hard to find exact numbers, as I really don't know the US government industry names very well, so I have no idea whether "Police protection" in IIF contains all LE and "Health care and social assistance" is the appropriate other category, but HE has slightly more deaths (138 vs 111) while employing a lot more people (16m vs <1m).
Just posted this to a different adjacent thread but since you're asking for this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30281075/

Study suggests ex-military cops are 2.9x more likely to be involved in a shooting if they had been deployed, and still 1.9x if they were ex-military but not deployed.

It's worth considering that people who leave the military to join another high risk of violence job may simply be violence seeking individuals, and that a randomly selected solider who was required to be a policeman would not show this effect. But given we can't really control that, we'd likely be better hiring fewer ex-military vets.

Another search suggests vets are over-represented in police jobs by about 3.5x their baseline rate

> But my small city police department recently got a grant for 450 high powered assault rifles and armored vests, on top of the hundreds they already had.

What always confuses me (I live in a country where the police don't generally get guns, even) is what they're preparing for with this sort of thing? A full-on war? Like, if they need hundreds of assault rifles for police work, then arguably society has already collapsed and the police are probably surplus to requirements anyway.
Just do what Apple does. Own the certification and recognize trustworthy developers. Allow new devs to easily distribute and ban/block them if they turn malicious. Its not a perfect solution but is in the right direction IMHO.

The wetware component enforcing some line length - some old maintainer stuck in his ways. I don't see what you're trying to achieve ignoring that?

> Hardwrapped text is only a problem for displays that cannot display lines as long as the hardwrapped line length

You're incorrect, it's a problem on wider screens as well.

> Mobile email clients are not suited for reviewing patches due to the fact that they typically use variable width fonts and do not provide a way to post replies inline with quoted text.

Again, that's an issue caused by non-HTML e-mail that's currently enforced in way too many places. It's not a problem with any e-mail system that is even somewhat modern.

Here. Linus shut him down nicely though. :)
No it doesn't, there are tons of countries, and plenty of US states, with single-party-consent laws. Just like everything about a phone call can be recorded if a single part to the call consents (which is true by default because the recording party counts as a consenting party), everything about website interaction can be recorded for as long as someone is "doing things" on that website if whoever owns the website is okay with that (which we can be pretty sure of they are).

That might sound horrible, and it is, but it's also entirely legal in many, many jurisdictions.
> it does seem they need some sort of up-armored police cars given how many of them have been destroyed in the rioting

Develop longstanding community relations as other western countries do so that you can exercise the tools of trust and patience. When a mob of over a thousand develops there might be something really wrong.

If de-escalation fails with a large crowd in an urban setting and both sides presume violence with guns, how are police supposed to maintain control? Military tactics?
Yes. Best fix (when possible): switch to 5 GHz WiFi.

When the MBP with USB-C first came out in late 2016, I noticed this issue and documented it and brought the machine to Apple, and they offered to exchange the motherboard. However, work and travel prevented me from bringing the machine in, and when I brought it to the shop next time to have it fixed months later they said it’s a known issue that can’t be fixed. Use WiFi, plug in an external HD - choose one.

Edit to add: I even asked HN, but it didn’t get answers:

(I assume this is posted because of the preamble on legal realism and George Floyd, which I'm addressing.)

I just finished _Team of Rivals_, an excellent history of Lincoln and the Civil War. Specifically, the political and administrative side of the war, with a lot less focus on the military aspects.

Something that really popped out at me from the book is how often public opinion is in a feedback loop with the law. Both the formal bits and the realist bits.

I think Levine is right when he says that the law is, more-or-less, what the people with tear gas do. But what the people with tear gas can get away with is partly determined by where public opinion is. And even if the laws about restricting police and military actions are often worthless, other laws matter. Like budgets, and procurement rules. Police can't fire tear gas if they can't buy it.

There's no shortcut, but not all is hopeless. Don't give up.
Except the police don’t actually have a license to kill. They are just particularly dangerous to black people. Even if your claims that US police are a trigger happy paramilitary force, they definitely do not affect non-black races as much. I mean yes any given white criminal may be subject to similar risks, but there’s profiling done on anonymous black people and just in general the rate of non-black criminality is lower so such problems will affect the average non-black person much less. And if you don’t fit into the profile of a criminal by a cop you’re pretty low in terms of chance of getting harassed.

Across suburbia stores closed early and police patrols were increased amid possible rioting. Imagine an SUV full of black men drives up to a suburban strip mall during last night in such circumstances and imagine one full of white teenage girls. If just due to the fact that a police goes by their gut On the job, they’re more likely to profile the SUV full of black people as potentially suspicious. Best case they just follow them and give them undue attention; worst case they harass them or more.

I get where you are coming from, but I also think the cause is worthy even if doesn’t affect one’s own race at any given time. I think it could happen to any race which is why it’s important to stop unequal treatment. I mean I’m sure other groups get profiled too such as Muslims (as terrorists) and that probably didn’t really start until 2001.
This implies that a riot was the intended goal of the protestors. I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure, but I can't imagine militarized police showing up gave the protestors warm and fuzzy feelings. The implied threat of violence amps up adrenaline, and it only takes one person doing something dumb for the police to violently swoop in and for everything to fall apart.

At the very least, there should be a parity in force used. The current police strategy seems to be overwhelming force, which is both not working, and a moral failure in my opinion.

True but modern weapons have made it possible for a single officer/small group to brutalize people much more efficiently.

That was fascinating in his non-verbal cues even as the question was asked. You could see him take a deep breath and let it out as soon as he realized that it would be a a difficult question. He took the time to think through how he wanted to respond, and gave clear indications that he was thinking it through. He looked like he was struggling to form an answer, but was not in a panic over it.
FYI: hashtags don't work on HN.
That's a "gotcha" question and it tells me that you are not interested in the subject - only in trying to expose me as a hypocrite. But I never expressed support for the idea that the police should treat everyone exactly the same at all times.

> I don't understand how so many people here are commenting as if giving out books for free was a good idea.

I'm not sure how many people are thinking that. Some must be, but not necessarily many.

There's a difference between "giving" and "lending". The IA have never given away copyrighted books.

I've used the IA's lending library in the past and the copyrighted ebooks were protected by Adobe DRM. You were allowed to take out a few books for a few weeks (like in a real library). You were required to return the books before a given date. And if you didn't, the ADOBE software wouldn't let you read the book anymore (because of the DRM).

According to the article, until recently, the IA would scan a book and would lend out the created ebook only to a limited number of people at a time, based on how many copies of the physical book that they had.

What changed recently is that they began lending out to a potentially unlimited number of people at a time. But, you still didn't get to keep the book for more than two or three weeks (I forget the exact number).
Notices should also be free by that logic, since by sending one you're also standing up for your rights.

Everyone likes to imagine DMCA senders as large companies and trolls, and it's true that that's a large section of them, but not all.

There are also individuals who have had their blog articles copied, independent photographers who have had their photos used without permission, videographers whose videos have been copied to other YouTube channels.

In some situations DMCA can help the little guy too.
no, see that's exactly the misestimation afforded by insulation. we've had protests and rebellions recently and for millenia without social media influence. it's just not a required feature of masses of people being angry at injustice.

Eh, it's okay, but thank you. :) If you have to lose a sense smell is the one. It's a genetic abnormality that you'll find in some Appalachian families so I'm not even particularly unusual among my kin.

> I have an issue where I have these crazy, unusual "allergic" reactions (doctors I've gone to actually say it's "hypersensitivity" rather than a normal "allergy"), and one of the weird "symptoms" is that if I'm out and about while reacting to something I ate, my sense of smell gets severely heightened. I'll smell food cooking at restaurants and feel more disgusted than not, even for stuff I'd generally enjoy all the time.

> Pretty crazy how human biology works.

Wow, now that's wild and I'm sorry to hear it. I'd say being disgusted by stuff you normally enjoy is a rougher burden than just being short a sense!
The interviewee is talking about ice on land (Greenland and Antarctica), not about ice in the ocean. If the ice on land melts, then those water molecules migrate away from Greenland because they drop to sea level. That loss of mass would happen regardless of the gravitational pull of water 200 km away and would change the gravitational gradient of the water 100 km away.

Another way to think of it: there's not an "equal" weight of water above Greenland because it's raised above sea level by the land. The weight of rock underneath the ice sheet needs to be included as well.
Sounds incredibly simplistic. You have to assume everyone starts from the same spot and has equal opportunities, which is definitely not true. External locus-of-control may very well be an accurate assessment. There are probably people who are also "dumb", but even those are likely a product of their environment.

So really the solution isn't "don't buy lottery tickets", it's "solve systemic issues that lead to poor goal planning and wishful thinking, rather than goal planning and realistic thinking with achievable goals that result in better quality of life". That is a lot harder than just calling lotto players stupid.

Stop. Reasons for doing it at all are bullshit. If you want to evaluate the software, do that.
