Well, they have posted many times on their position on Trump, which is a left leaning position. Then, rather quickly they throw this fact check on one of his tweets. Regardless of what their actual intents were the actions to me look a bit shady. Especially since the fact check comes down to “no evidence”, which is completely different then proven false.
you know, hypervitaminosis is a thing...
So, your defense of these actions is that the cops can't discern the difference between press and rioters, so best just arrest them all "one by one"? What part of that is reasonable? Just because it's "standard procedure" does not mean it's justified.
Submitted with the hope that it can be discussed without too much vitriol, although honestly I'm not expecting it to last very long.

We don't get a lot of content from the viewpoint proponents of things like the "ethical source license" (A license that explicitly prevents groups like ICE from using the code). I don't think this article was written with the intention of being divisive, and I'd hope it could offer some insight into the mind-set of that particular sub-culture.
My apologies if I am repeating what others have said, but just yesterday I chose to give a 404 for an operation that could not be concluded because a resource is not available. A 404 is not about pages but about resources. It is perfectly legitimate that a resource is not available anymore or is temporarily down in a non internal error kind of way.

A REST request on a IoT device can return 404 if the device is not available at the moment. Any redirect is meaningless and actually breaks the semantics of 404. My understanding is that 404 has been so connected with the file like persistent resources, that people forgot the elegance of the wording in the standard.

I can understand the popular usage change, but I think then the standard actually becomes incomplete because it only fits web pages or document type resources when an HTTP status code is about Hyper text Transfer Protocol.

Alternate view disagreeing with what postulated above is that, actually HTTP has been abused and is being used in scenarios that have nothing to do with Hyper Text, looking at you JSON REST :D
I think the Obama-Trump voters were a result of 8 years of partly empty promises. (He did a lot, but people hoped for much more. Yes we can / yes we scan.)
Is the POTUS clearly inciting violence or is it another instance of people having a wild interpretation of what he said? I'm so tired of this dynamic that I don't even bother anymore.
POTUS is not saying they should be shot, no.

A lot of contractors are incorporated, so the contract is not between google and the contractor, but between google and the contractor's corp (sometimes another agency in between google and corp). So the contractor is not an employee of google and employment laws do not apply. Termination rules (typically a few weeks notice) are defined in the contract.
Proper riot control has non lethal methods of force
How it played out was interesting though. Arrested reporter first and only after some time came back and arrested the others.

If the intent was to arrest them all, they would have said "you're all under arrest". This smells like they arrested the guy, went "oh shit lets arrest the others too so people don't say we're racist"

Twitter already does hide NSFW ("objectionable") content behind a click, removing it only when it violates the platform rules of conduct.

They evaluated and rejected hiding "violates Twitter policies" content except in the rare cases where they deem it necessary for the public interest to retain that violating content behind a click barrier.

https://help.twitter.com/en/safety-and-security/offensive-tw... has more details about the current policy, and you can read their blog posts from the past couple years about these policies to gain more context and background.

Do you feel the same way about engineers working remotely? Is someone working remotely and communicating over Zoom delivering significantly lower quality work and therefore deserving of a lower compensation?

Your assumption that there’s “no doubt” about the quality of education being worse is not a good assumption. Educators are working overtime to make the most of the remote learning situation.

> It's become clear time and again that they never open themselves up to actual liability.

I understand that the criminal justice system is very often lenient on police officers, and I'm strongly in favor of increased police accountability; however, there are still many cases of police officers going to prison and departments/municipalities being sued for police misconduct, so to say that there is no actual liability is hyperbole.

Well, in political science and sociology, one of the most common definitions of the state is that it possesses a monopoly on legitimate/lawful violence.

Violence conducted via the military or police, according to regulation, is lawful.

But violence conducted by citizens, or by members of the government or military that is not according to law/regulation, is not lawful.

I'm not saying Twitter's drawing the line exactly right, but it's somewhere in the right vicinity.

The story likely got reviewed and unflagged. Yet, it just went puff few minutes after making it to top 10 or so while it still had quite massive (140+ or 160+) points. It was gone for quite some hour.

really? wild interpretation? it's a weird construction that's widely known to have been used by the police chief during similar circumstances? how big does the donkey have to be before you pin the tail on it? i wager there could be a video of trump composing the tweet with a biography of the police chief in view and open to the page with those words and you'd still claim to doubt the intent.

it's exhausting having to take this kind of bad faith skepticism seriously.

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

Indentured Servitude

> However, advocates of ISAs contend that since students have no legal obligation to work in a particular industry, and since it is illegal for investors to pressure them into a certain career, students are no more “indentured” than those with a student loan. In fact, someone with a traditional student loan has less choice than someone with an ISA, because the student with a loan needs to be in a career where they make at least enough income to cover their monthly payment, whereas someone with an ISA can choose to never make any money, and would never owe the investor a dime.
Even after reading that page, I didn't understand that this was a suggestion to start regularly archiving old versions of the site and only sending visitors there if their link didn't point to anything on the current site. Instead, I thought the idea was that, for software reasons I don't understand, web developers commonly changed the subdomain name for the main site and this was just a method for reducing the number of broken links when such a change was made.

4042302.org definitely needs better explanations.

I don't have an issue with this.

Both the police and the reporters were calm and polite. The police told them they had to clear the street and instead of obeying the order they asked to let them know when they were going to actually walk down the street. Since they refused to obey the order they were detained and escorted out of the way.

Being a reporter does not give you a free pass to disobey orders, specially during situations like that. Being a police offer also does not give you the right to mistreat people of course, but in this video everyone actually behaved very well.
>> all the rest of the police stand idly by as one of those in their uniforms commits acts of violence against peaceful people.

That seems to be the problem. It's not so much that one gets out of hand, it's that they don't police themselves. If they want to stop it they'll have to begin with the smaller digressions - like speeding or illegal parking when there's no reason for it. Stop your bro from thinking he's above the law even when it's not a really big deal.
As the article stated, many of these universities did give partial refunds. The students are demanding even more refunds while still collecting the education.

I’m curious: Would you consider the same argument valid for workers forced to work remotely? Would you be upset if a company decided to cut workers’ pay in half during COVID19 remote work under the assumption that some workers can’t be as efficient remotely? After all, the company paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for in-person work, but now they’re getting potentially worse remote work.

There’s such a thing as a peaceful revolution. Portraying this as similar to the President calling for shooting people is disingenuous.

Actually no, he doesn't have the capability to threaten institutionalised violence against US CITIZENS which might have or maybe want commit a crime which is not capital and don't even lead to to much jail time.

If he would have the right to do so he would be an authoritarian leader and the US no longer a democracy.

Even if the national guard is dispatched they can just arrest people, not shoot them down (except if that people try to shoot down the national guard, which they don't).
> I like the idea of one "base model" that represents language and many different context models on top of it (finetuning the core model)

This is an entirely different concept of computer language than the current GPT style models. These systems don't "represent language", and cannot. The whole reason why GPT is so exciting right now is that it fundamentally threw away the entire concept of "representing language". That has some upsides ... and some downsides.
Yes, I really wish they made it clear they're a search engine. If I didn't already know better, I would probably think they're a security consulting firm or some kind of native app for my computer (like antivirus for trackers).

Regardless, I hope this at least makes them more recognizable to the general public. People often put more trust into names and brands they frequently see.

I'll admit that fermented food was also a common factor among all traditional societies, and yes its a good source of K. Price simply theorized K was the important factor, didn't prove it. But it almost doesn't matter what the single factor was (if there is a single factor), if we just eat an ancestral diet then we should get the benefits. Also animal fat has other benefits that Price was not aware of at the time, like inducing ketosis etc, which is why I mentioned it specifically.

Also perhaps the Japanese have long life spans in spite of eating lots of rice. Wheat grains seem to be harmful, whereas rice is a neutral carb, and Japanese get plenty of animal fats from pork in ramen, raw fish, etc.

Because I read what you said. You are saying it’s okay for the president to say that looters should be shot, it’s just “in bad taste”.
You seem to suggest "broken window policing" has to come with abuse of power. But it is in fact the abuse of power that breeds mistrust. The broken window theory itself seems quite sound to me - if you let small crimes slide without appropriate, lawful and proportionate response and punishment, it does indeed breed contempt for the law and does indeed lead to increases in more serious crimes.

I think the same is true with upholding traffic laws, for example. My home province of Ontario loves to create rules that sound great (and sometimes overly strict) on paper, and then proceed to not enforce them, ever. Municipal police services have essentially given up on speeding unless it's truly outrageous, like 50kmh over. But what they fail to realize is the causal link between small offences and large ones. Hypocrisy about "small" offences breeds general contempt for rules of all kind.

Machine Learning Articles (April – May 2020)
People do not pay to get only the education. Yes, it is a prominent part of it but more important are the facilities, the community and the networking capabilities. With remote teaching, everything else except learning is lost.

There’s no reason to pay the sums the universities are charging considering you can get the same education from almost any university.
I don't know about the legal question, but I think universities are setting themselves up for pain by arguing that the online experience they've been offering isn't substantially different from the in-person experience they had been offering. It's easy to imagine people calling their bluff on this, choosing to do remote learning even after COVID-19 goes away if it will save $100k+ over 4 years, and a subsequent contraction in the number of universities we need to educate people.
Telegram have said that you can’t trust Signal because the developers live in the US and something something the CIA, which is pretty ridiculous.

We've seen multiple murders by police happen on camera in the past couple years, with little to no action taken. The present one is the first case I know of where anyone from inside the government actually called for an investigation, and it was probably because they were afraid of the very riot situation we now find ourselves in.

When they can kill someone who isn't a threat, on camera, and face no consequences, why would we expect them to face consequences for something like a frivolous arrest?

Again, you are conflating rights granted by the constitution with legislation that dictates how businesses must operate. Racial discrimination in public accommodations, like those that you mentioned, was outlawed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964[1].
