Excuse me, the armed Michigan protestors who stormed the state capital were “very good people”.

This site is terrible. It is a zero-effort collection of videos around one theme. And by turning these videos into copy-pasta without promoting the original sources of the video they are obscuring the and making it more difficult to fix police brutality.

A much better website would have contact information on it. And it would cite the original people that took the videos. And they could have asked those original people basic facts, such as the exact location and time of the recording.

Stallman said it better:

The Trolley Problem poses this question: if a trolley is about to run over and kill five people standing on the tracks, and you can shunt it to a different track where it would only kill one person, should you do it? Or what if you could save those five by throwing a person near you onto the tracks; should you do it?

Many people feel intuitively that it would be wrong to throw that person onto the tracks, and an argument attributes this to a supposed essential difference between killing someone and deciding to let that person die.

I disagree. I too believe it would be wrong to throw that person onto the tracks, in real life, but not in the hypothetical trolley problems. There is no ethically significant difference between killing a person and letting the person die, if (as supposed in the trolley problems) there is no doubt that the death will occur.

The reason, in real life, why killing someone is ethically different from letting someone die is that real life is full of surprises: the person might not really die. If you kill him, his death is pretty certain (though not totally; just recently a man was hanged in Iran and survived). If you merely don't take action to save him, he might survive anyway. He might jump off the track, for instance, or someone might pull him off. All sorts of things might happen. Likewise, throwing the one person onto the track might not succeed in saving the other five; how could you possibly be sure it would? You might find that you had done nothing but cause one additional death. Thus, in real life it is a good principle to avoid actively killing someone now, even if that might result in other deaths later.

The trolley problems invalidate the principle because of the unlikely certainty that they assume. Precisely for that reason, they are not a useful moral guide for most real situations. In general, difficult artificial moral conundrums are not very useful guides for real-life conduct. It's much more useful to think about real situations. In the free software movement I have often decided not to propose an answer to a general question until I had some real cases to think about.

For real driverless cars, the trolley problem never arises: the right thing to do, whenever there is a danger of collision, is to brake as fast as possible.

More generally, the goal is to make sure to avoid any trolley problem.

This creates terrible incentives, though. Are you going to proactively help with a civil rights case if it means your pension disappears?

If the person suing "dies in a random armed robbery, so sad", are you going to put maximum effort into investigating their murder?

If you see your coworker destroying evidence of misconduct, do you look the other way because reporting it costs everyone in the department money?
I agree with you that "how we got to a point where the conservative commander in chief could repeatedly label the media 'enemies of the people' without any political repercussions whatsoever" is a much more complicated topic.

I'm just saying that I think you can draw a direct line between the shameless attacks on reporters the past few days, and the words spoken over and over again by the ostensible top law enforcement agent in the country.
Almost anything can have legitamate reasons. You can kill someone with a hammer, doesn't make it unethical to make a hammer.

0 extra here where I live. I actually get paid to study (not enough to actually live full time on that). The only real expense I get is that I need to supply my income either by working or taking a student loan (with an interest rate of approx some ten-twenty dollars a year).

Also, when comparing what one would or wouldn't benefit from, I think money should be removed from the discussion. Obviously, you gotta live when you study and the longer you study, the less you're earning through work = time spent in school is a loss of income
But as this is obvious, it's enough to focus on whether a double major is worth your time or not.
I absolutely agree. I have a degree in Business Economics and got a job as a software engineer within 6 months of graduation. I started in the tech support help desk of my university, followed by a programming job within the school. I used that job to get a job doing automation for a large corporation and then got a job engineering for said company. No ragrets

I don't know if Rust can do it (unsafe?) but in C and C++, I sometimes end up writing a custom allocator. It is often one of the most significant optimizations.

For example, I had the "million strings" problem once, literally millions. The solution was to put every string into a single large buffer and the pointers in another buffer. Not only I could deallocate everything at once but I also saved a bit of RAM by not aligning (not needed for strings).
We can assume x% of applicants are actually qualified, instead of "Good enough and we need bodies". If we increase pay, we increase total applicants - which, assuming x stays constant, means we end up with more actually qualified cops.
Looks like the messages can serve XSS payloads. I just came across one. Perhaps self destruction of this codebase wouldn't be so bad.
This seems like many words around "long-existing hosting company hosts all kinds of stuff", which is true about pretty much all of them.
Hmm--that doesn't match my impression. Rather, police would presumably stop and frisk people they pattern-matched as up to no good. (Popular niceties notwithstanding, police generally know the score.) If some group is committing a disproportionate number of crimes, it's entirely reasonable that they'd be stopped more.

I want my police to skillfully work on the crime problem, not carefully spend equal minutes on each demographic group.

Their employee list is...strange. According to LinkedIn, all of their employees are also CEOs of their own other companies? One of their VPs has been both CEO of a lighting firm since 2014 or something, and also full time at M5 Hosting for a decade?

Likely Scenario: M5 is a front company. There just isn't enough care put into the websites / marketing, and not enough evidence on LinkedIn, to suggest this is a real business staffed by people who are working on stuff full time. And a hosting company definitely needs people full time...

And again you're using language dishonestly. They didn't "storm" anything. They had every right to be there, protesting peacefully, and it's legal to carry guns at the Michigan state capital.

I don't know if they were "very good people", but I haven't heard any reason to think otherwise.

And your own source makes it clear that the government wasn't intimidated by these peaceful protests:

> lawmakers were meeting to debate an end to the emergency order... Despite the pressure, Whitmer extended the order, which was due to expire at the end of Thursday.
Fair, but now that we have a standard-ish pattern, there's value in embracing it; quite a number of others have done so as part of their vulnerability disclosure programs.

It's not really a bank.

They give you 15% of your cash balance as credit and sweep the payment out of your account at the end of the period (which the sales guys conveniently forget to tell you. No shit the guy said, after being prodded about maybe getting a reference since they were not being 100% truthful about terms while we signed up "well AirBnb didn't ask, we don't feel a big obligation to say more"). I mean it's fine, but "hey we autopull money out of your bank account" should maybe come up.

So kinda cool company but definitely not straight forward.

Had another sales guy there after we signed up lie about a different product offering. Know a fair bit about the FDIC and kept asking questions and just got foggy and untrue answers.

Slimy.

Wish we didn't sign up.

Edit: they lied about the process around our AWS credit as well. We ended up getting it, but it was nothing like the described. Could have done the same thing with Silicon Valley Bank. This was the most annoying because it was what pushed us past the zone of indifference towards their service, I asked a handful of times for details for how it worked, and they guy definitely told me white lies to get a sign up.
So is discretion. Nobody ever held a gun to my head telling me to deal with Brex.
Ok I could see this except for one thing I found out recently. "Long-existing hosting companies" have traded hands a bunch of times. Wild West Domains, Tucows, etc are like 6 different owners removed from the founders at this point. Sometimes the founders are kept on, but more as a figurehead who isn't supposed to ask detailed questions about what does and doesn't go on.

One of the better documented cases of hosting companies being a proxy for intelligence wars was the 2017 lawsuit Namecheap filed against eNom and Tucows. Long story short, Namecheap was supposed to be US intelligence, and eNom and Tucows were unknown/unnamed other intelligence group/agency [1].

> Worst case scenario it creates expensive pee.

Well, that's one thing you don't need to worry about. Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so any excess isn't excreted in urine (hence the arguments over effective vs. excessive dosage).
> There are upgrade kits available, for example an adapter to add an NVMe disk instead of the eMMC. For the original Pinebook, there has been an upgrade kit with a better processor even.

I didn't know you could add nvme disk to the pinebook pro. The emmc storage was turning me off, but with this the machine seem to be more attractive to me. If it has upgradable cpu as well I would seriously consider using this laptop, just need to figure out shipping as international shipping is usually handled by the awful state-owned postal company here, which for some reason can't successfully deliver anything to my address.

I'll just suggest to you personally and quite seriously that even if you have zero idea what's going on in someone else's head, most other people have an immediate and intuitive idea of what's going on, so intuitive in fact that they often mistake the thoughts and feelings of others as their own. This is my daily lived experience, as fundamental as gravity and atmospheric pressure.
The trolley problem came up a lot in The Good Place, which may be why discussions around it have suddenly become a bit more mainstream.
>Absolutely bizarre to see a philosopher writing at some length that some questions are bad because they are hard to answer cleanly.

It's hardly bizarre. Wittgenstein, one of the most famous philosophers of the 20th century, wrote that most philosophy was incorrect because philosophers failed to clearly define their terms.

"The right method of philosophy would be this. To say nothing except what can be said, i.e. the propositions of natural science, i.e. something that has nothing to do with philosophy: and then always, when someone else wished to say something metaphysical, to demonstrate to him that he had given no meaning to certain signs in his propositions. This method would be unsatisfying to the other — he would not have the feeling that we were teaching him philosophy — but it would be the only strictly correct method".

That said the experiment does deny the always precent uncertainty (or hope, depends how you call it). Arguably the most ethical course of action would be to do everything to prevent any deaths. This might be futile, but it's impossible to know at the time.

And now you wonder why there are riots. Because people excuse police harassing people because of the color of there skin.

Why not make the people really safe and reinstate Jim Crow and laws against interracial marriage?

I’m sure you wouldn’t feel the same way if you were constantly stopped because of the color of your skin. But we should just accept it.

This also explains why minority owned startups get a lot less VC funding than people who “pattern match” with Zuckerberg.

But it turns out that the New York Daily News was wrong about its forecasts, which the media outlet’s editorial board wrote in an op-ed Monday that it was “delighted” to admit. Instead of bedlam up in Brooklyn and hell up in Harlem, as the paper had warned would happen as a result of scaling back “stop and frisk,” the opposite happened: “Post stop-and-frisk, the facts are clear,” wrote the editorial board Monday. “New York is safer while friction between the NYPD and the city’s minority communities has eased.
That's a rather useless sentence if I'm being honest, most people would prefer their code bug-free as well.

In the end, normal programmers don't write 1000char lines and do format their code nicely. Any limits should be soft, pedantic hard-wrapping at some arbitrary character count is just harmful.

In the case of non-code, no, absolutely no hard wraps, people using phones, accessibility features or similar non VT-100 deserve readable text, not some disgustingly formatted column.

The protestors being able to shoot police is the situation now, presently, and has been for a long while. Many, many people have firearms in America.

Police are not generally being shot at.

The situation you describe is not a violent one.

What I think would be a better situation is a much higher percentage of visibly armed protestors. You didn’t see police beating and attacking any of the armed protests last month, and there’s a reason for that that extends beyond their being mostly white people.

People like to condemn the previous protests for being armed, and for protesting for something that was dumb (reopening businesses during a pandemic), but the armed part will become more and more important for any meaningful protest in America, as we have now learned that if you aren’t, the police will just come and attack you with sticks or gas or cars or the threat of their own rifles.

People shouldn’t carry guns to shoot them, they should carry them to indicate to everyone around them that nobody wants a fight, which is generally the same reason police do.

Criminals don’t attack cops in groups because criminals know that if they do, 20 cops have weapons that will be used against them in seconds.

I would love to be able to say: “cops don’t attack protestors because cops know that if they do, 20 protestors have weapons that will be used against them in seconds”.

(Sorry for commenting on you twice in this thread--I promise I'm not trying to follow you around. I'm all about dissecting the quality of a system or toolchain!

But, security tools average people can't use are also meaningless here.)
I've been to Germany and Japan many times, and my impression is that while the Germans tend toward orderliness (rule-abiding), the Japanese tend toward perfectionism (details).

As a foreigner, it was fascinating to observe how systems in each country manifest these attributes.

From what I observed (and I could be all wrong here), Germans have "opinionated" systems where everybody understands and follows the rules, even if sometimes the system itself doesn't always make sense. Deviation is not well tolerated (except perhaps in bohemian places like Berlin -- or that's what I've been told).

The Japanese tend to have systems that assiduously accommodates humans. They drive compliance through coaxing rather than coercion. The systems tolerates, even accounts for, deviations from the norm. It's like they've thought of everything, and try to make things as convenient as possible.

These differences are obvious when comparing trains/subways in Germany and Japan.

German and Japanese cars also exhibit this difference. German cars generally have opinionated designs (the opinion of the designer trumps the opinions of the users). They're fun to drive but generally require the owners to follow a strict maintenance schedule without deviation, otherwise the car will fail prematurely.

Japanese cars on the other hand are often designed for owner negligence and can accommodate all kinds of abuse while still continuing to chug along (especially Toyotas), contributing to the notion that Japanese cars are super reliable, when in fact they're simply designed for variation.
I'm having trouble following your logic.
