I've suspected for a long time that Insulin resistance is going to be one of the next big areas of focus for public health, but I thought that it was going to happen the moment Apple finally figured out blood glucose measurement through the skin. I did not see a pandemic being part of it.
Come to Maine. Billboards are illegal here! All of the surrounding states talk about how beautiful it is here, I think that a huge part of the beauty is the lack of forced exposure to advertisement on our highways. (though the beautiful and well preserved landscape and coastline doesn't hurt either)
Insulin Resistance is the start of (all?) metabolic disease. So easy to resolve using fasting, intermittent fasting, keto, carnivore etc diets.

Unfortuneately it slowly builds up over decades and only once disease has progressed do Drs move on to treat the resultant disease (and mainly with cholesterol lowering drugs).

Instead of measuring fasting glucose levels (which indicate diabetes), insulin levels should be measured as they are the leading indicator.
I haven't seen a Duck billboard yet, but I heard its sponsorship notice on NPR earlier this week.

Good to see another tech company realize that off-line ads are just as valuable as online ads, if not more so.

It's like that article on HN a few weeks ago asking why Warby Parker succeeded while its competitors failed. To me the reason was simple: Traditional advertising. Warby Parker fully embraced television ads, radio ads, print ads, subway ads, even put up brick-and-mortar storefronts, in additional to social and digital.

The others spent money on Google ads and went out of business.

It's interesting that the short term solution of not giving refunds will likely cause long-term pain for universities because they are then admitting that remote is "the same as" in person. Most of the university value is in the experience. I'd predict that if colleges don't admit in person > online and don't offer refunds, then many students will decide to save the $150K over four years and just take online courses, then live in an interesting city to get that life/social experience.

I'll wait for a working interactive model before blindly believing these statements. GPT-2 was hyped through the roof, but when inspected with a bit of criticality it demonstrated glitches that told us more about how it actually works than "good" examples:

https://medium.com/@VictorBanev/interrogating-full-gpt-2-10a...

ML models should be pushed to their limit, because that's where you gather most useful information about what they actually do. Their results need to be critically examined with both exploratory and hypothesis-driven testing. And yet this is never done in initial papers and rarely done afterwards.

What was the last AI paper you've read that that said "and here is a list of things out model failed at"?
Colleges should just open up. Young students are low risk that they're unlikely to be very sick if/when they contract disease. There will be some old or unhealthy staff members that can be protected.

California and NY have stronger lock down rules, but people should just transfer to Texas, Florida places that are more open.

I wonder if this difference in jargon has origins in different sub-fields. I recognize that concept as "checkpoints" across different companies but I also remember seeing the term from data science folks and thinking that I just don't know the concept.
Broken windows policing is an abuse of power because it takes resources that should be used on solving serious crimes and focuses on what is easy to enforce. This route is taken to extract money from the population and feed the police budget. There is no correlation between broken windows or speeding and rates of serious crime.

As a manager of remote teams, I can assure you that not all engineers are adept at working remotely.

It’s fairly elitist to declare that engineers are good at remote work while assuming that students are not.

You can’t make blanket statements about engineers while simultaneously arguing that students are too diverse for the same treatment.
Sorry, claims without evidence? I am not arguing with you. You asked questions. I shared what I knew, made clear that it was my own understanding, made clear that you should do more research, and suggested where that might be fruitful. It's not my responsibility to do that research for you.
To be clear here: it's not just "stuff." In innumerable ways, the looting and rioting is resulting in loss of material items that cannot be replaced. Case in point: https://twitter.com/wakiyan7/status/1266350546249629699
I do not want to sound flippant, but does that mean that crime did not happen, because it sounds like we are now deciding that 'broken window' is not an issue worth pursuing.

> We've seen multiple murders by police happen on camera in the past couple years, with little to no action taken.

I don't doubt this, but I don't see how you get from there to "there is no liability at all".

> 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.

I'm not sure what you mean by "anyone from inside the government is called for an investigation"; do you mean you don't think police officers in these situations are never or rarely investigated, charged, etc? Or are you speaking about some other government official (and if so, I don't know what you're talking about specifically or how it relates to this broader conversation about liability).

> 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?

Your premise is wrong. A quick Google search turned up this collection of police department settlements[0] and this collection of police officers[1] charged in recent, high-profile killings.

Note that there is a middle ground between "there is no accountability" and "the system is working just fine"--we absolutely should increase police accountability, but "there is no liability/accountability" isn't accurate or helpful.

The valley being an echo chamber doesn’t necessarily mean those implementing this have their heads in the sand.

It can’t be all perfectly achieved, but to do nothing, as they were before, could be now determined to be a worse case than providing these annotations to flagrant misuse by the highest impact profile that they can’t do away with entirely.
Community policing is the solution to the problems that broken window policing attempts to and fails at solving.
It involves building rapport with the local community so that the community and police can work together to solve the problems in the community.

The original.
It's interesting that when they arrested the team, the arrest happened after Jimenez showed his card. Then, as Jimenez was being led away, a police officer handed the mike to another of the staff. So at that point it doesn't seem like the officers had any intention to arrest the rest of the crew. Only after did an officer return to arrest the rest of the crew, perhaps after realizing the optics of arresting the sole colored of the crew and the only one who identified clearly as a reporter.
The key word is "general". The idea that one should avoid contact in all circumstances no matter what the hazards of a given communicable disease are is myopic and bereft of prudence. There are other concerns and constraints the neglect of which may result in greater harm.
While equivalent to a proper approach, it feels like hooks are an unnecessary hack.

What could be done is to have the component function return a closure that returns the VDOM nodes instead of the VDOM nodes themselves, and then the hooks would be run only once, since rerendering would only run the returned closure and not the whole component function, and there would be no need for the magic or rules.

Like this:

const Component = component((comp) => {
const [show, setShow] = useState(comp, false);

return (...props) => (
<div>
<button onClick={() => setShow(!show())}>Show Menu</button>
// Mounted with show = true and unomunted with show = false
{show() && <MenuDropdown />}
</div>
);
});

Where the changes are that the hook takes the component as an argument, show is now a function rather than a value and a closure (that takes the props) is returned rather than returning the VDOM nodes directly.

The React Hooks API is essentially equivalent to this, but inelegant, unintuitive and somewhat inefficient.
What do the designs look like?

Billboards are an interesting form of marketing. Forget everything you know about audience data collection and careful targeting of ads with Google, FB, etc. These target virtually everybody in town, it's the giant hammer solution. The highest bidder typically goes out to the company providing a product or service that averages the highest profit per person for the ads, weighted more or less equally regardless of what group you're in.
I appreciate your nuance.

I'm skeptical about claims that the overall bill (i.e. de-regulation) and §230 (i.e. liability shields) weren't intertwined.

My lay understanding is that §230 came about because (i) telecom providers and ISPs were getting sued for trafficking third-party content; and (ii) they started running to pro-business legislators for protection.[0]

Again, my initial reaction was to the claim that the anti-trust controls would be effective in order to police things. That seems like a last resort; and requires first UNWINDING a lot of other legislation that appears to shield the formation of trusts.

Same at a neighboring city. They want to lay off workers due to COVID while they have doubled administrative staff over the last few years. And none of the administrators is going to get laid off.

The plan is to have parks being cleaned by unpaid volunteers instead of city staff.
We need stronger whistle blower protections, laws and incentives. The only people who can police the police are the police. So society needs to create the situation where the incentives to police themselves reward them greater than the current corrupt, immature and racist rewards they reap today.
That's true but I'm not sure it would've been the same if a woman did that. The main difference is how the public would react.
> Police don't defend normal people or communities, that's not their job. Their job is to enforce the law, no matter how unjust the law is.

That's the difference between calling them "police" or calling them "law enforcement".

I think that it is no coincidence that Americans were "trained" to say "law enforcement".

Call them police, because a police officers first duty is to the community.

I don't think the Khomenni tweet is a valid comparison to Trumps (for other reasons) but lets be honest — This tweet is anything but a "vague statement about Palestinian independence", since it directly references and advocates for Jihad and Martyrdom.

This sounds strikingly similar to what's going on at my school, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. President has a 5mm+ salary and took only a 5% pay cut while laying off (not furloughing!) 60 faculty members.
Of course. That's the point: creating new accounts and getting 51 karma is not hard - there are no requirements to be "different people", just different accounts.
His feed has been getting worse recently, and the publicity of his misbehavior has been escalating. Maybe he's acting out more because it's an election year. Bit of a chicken/egg issue that I wouldn't want to get stuck defending either side.

But the fact of the matter is that the Citizens United ruling grants private corporations the right to free speech. He can continue to use Twitter, but they've literally got the right to campaign against him, editorialize, shadowban, or straight up ban him. He could choose to follow the site's rules, or run off to Gab. But he's doing it for attention and his tantrums and Twitter's non-enforcement actions are getting him a lot of that.

> being mugged

Mugging is a violent crime and should be policed - but studies also show that people vastly overestimate their risk of being mugged. It definitely happens, but I am very skeptical that "broken window" policing addresses these sorts of violent crimes.

A better move would be to de-densify poverty with mixed income housing, provide support resources, and build trust with police so people will report violent crimes.

> having their car broken into

Cars being broken in to? That's a different matter - I really don't think we have the capacity to police this in any meaningful way, it's a problem endemic to urban neighborhoods and is incredibly hard to police in a way that isn't super disproportionate.

Don't leave valuables in your car, don't lock your doors - they'll just open, rifle through, and leave. I've had my car rifled through tens of times and the most they ever got was some quarters I left in there.

The utilitarian in me feels like being exposed daily to random patdowns and harassments and having people jump out on you is much worse than that. Nobody should live in a neighborhood where the law enforcement doesn't treat them with dignity, just because of the color of their skin or their class background.

You can't cleanly separate what crimes you choose to care about from the policies in place. When voters tell elected officials "decrease car breakins, that's what impacts my vote" that'll translate to these disproportionate policies because the communities being policed do not have the power to sway the policy and it is easy to hide the impact of the policing from the voters.
Think "most restrictive", when he says intersection. You can only do things allowed by all of them.

Really interested in behind-the-firewall options. Nobody should punch a hole in their network exposing their DB to the Internet. IMO you should offer VPC peering for AWS & GCP so this can work entirely on private networks.
My guess the tuition will be similar in price. However, if it were me going to college at this time I would seriously consider skipping a year/semester if they did that. Get a small time job somewhere and help get ahead of the loans I already racked up. But that is just me. It became crystal clear to me a few years ago that these schools had gone off the rails price wise. My wife was taking 1 class. The book was more than the class and the previous semester you could not buy used. Ironically the class was micro economics.

Do you have examples of places where broken windows does not come with a big helping of abuse?

Sure broken windows sounds reasonable. Show examples of where it has worked. Show example of how the poorest folks have benefited from broken windows policing. Your mind will change when you become the target.

I'm not advocating for lawlessness. While obeying all laws I've been abused by police. I'm advocating for police that take time to understand a situation before they start busting heads. I'm advocating for police to follow the law too and not hide behind 'I smelled something', 'this person seemed suspicious', 'this person was resisting' - where all of that leads to my word against the word of a crooked cop who was trained to beat me up and then lie about the reasons why.

It was not a live broadcast of the "whole encounter" it was a live broadcast that started in medias res after the reporters were clearly surrounded by multiple officers of the law.

Not to mention that for the hour preceding 05:00 CDT, the National Guard and Minnesota State Troopers were announcing over loudspeakers that anyone in the area was to disperse immediately or face arrest.

So, it begs the question - what happened in the minutes leading up to when the camera started rolling?

Is it possible the crew had already been told to leave or they would be subject to arrest, and the crew did not follow this?

Good question. It's not like IP protection is practical in China--this software WILL be used in China against license. It's also basically impossible to hold Chinese companies (often entangled with the communist government of China) accountable for things like fraud or IP theft.

But then unfortunately, even then some companies do not provide their Electron app on Linux e.g. Notion.

Yes, cron is a bit undervalued in that for one off (well locked) tasks it's perfectly fine to create a crontab entry. And simplicity is king. I feel people throw frameworks at problems where a simple shell/go script in a cron would be just enough.

As for the pipeline definition. One goal is to have a notion of pipelines that is both comprehensive and declarative.

As for a database, what would you store there? Container image to run? Past execution data (e.g. output path, time, errors)?

The software world has many pipeline-y things, such as CI definitions and these definitions usually live in configuration files.

What is difficult at time is the tracking of done tasks. Is the output a file or a new row in some database or many files or many rows or anything else?

Anytime a police officer tries to fight the system they are a part of, they always cease to become a police officer. They're forced out. The system doesn't allow "good" police to exist.
