>>This is before we get into whether we really even want "those people"

this is the key point. I have known many people that would like to have been a "police officer" in the sense that I believe many people think policing should be. After finding out it is more like the military than servicing the community they dropped the pursuit

More recently I have even seen many Former Military people shy away from going into the policing because the paramilitary tactics and procedures of modern militarized policing are in many ways MORE extreme than any rules of engagement that the military employed in their theaters of operation (i.e US Police treat citizens of this nation worse than the US Military does when we invade a nation)

Any Police Reform that does not involve MASSIVE demilitarization of the police force is a waste of time
I don't think China is ahead of the west, they just take a slightly different approach. People have a really short memory, they already forgot about Snowden, prism, Room 641A: that shit never stopped.

Please don't get me wrong I'm not trying to equate China and the west, China is a lot worse but strictly looking at the reaction of those in power to the internet... People in power in the west are definitely reacting strongly.

China is more 1984 and the west is more brave new world.
Gloomhaven is pretty much only playable with a set of organizers in the box, (which lifts the lid by an inch), and frankly it could have been done as an episodic. Fifteen map sections, a dozen monsters, 8 character boxes and half of the obstacles probably covers your first 30 hours playing. With everything in the box day 1, The setup and teardown time is huge, and I estimate it saves us over 20 minutes just having the organizers. But not having a box full of unused stuff also would fix that issue.

Loss of momentum will kill your odds of getting a scenario running.

Munchkin went too far the other way. Do I need deck 3 or 4 next? I can't remember. But at least they sell a big empty box to organize all your sets into. Much easier to stack with the other games.

If you avoid that problem, you then also have to resist 'refreshing' your game look and feel. Otherwise I end up with a base game and expansions that don't match in style, and I am not happy. For instance, I bought a Settlers of Catan addon that barely made it out of the box because it didn't match :/ My friend bought one before the change and we always played with his copy instead.

My comment wasn't quite clear enough I think. I don't think you will see a cap table, but you should see total outstanding shares. And my comment was probably more true for startups in the traditional sense and not the 10-year-old, $10B 'startups' like Airbnb.

That so many American officers choose to represent themselves with "The Punisher" is very revealing.

What's the situation like if your employee opens a company and invoices you like a consultant ? I do this in Europe (admittedly I don't work for a single client exclusively) but it seems like the path with least friction for tech workers.

I think the green line is the sea level after the melting, since it is labeled Final Sea Level. It does not show a fall, only a rise, next to the glacier.
An interesting idea in this space is the concept of a "D&D microsystem," which I think seeks to solve some of the problems you mention above.

Is there evidence to suggest that violent police are disproportionately ex-military? Is there anything less extreme we could do to reduce violence from both veteran and non-veteran police?
To curate a collection is to be an editor, determining what to include and what to exclude. From a curated selection of tools, I expect to see a selection of the best tools, chosen by a knowledgable curator who has evaluated the tools in some way.

So for example, if you said "I want to start a library, donate any books you have at my house" that would not be a "curated" collection in my opionion. If you went through & evaluated the books, selecting only those that you'd personally recommend and discarding the rest, that would be a "curated" collection.

(Strictly speaking any maintenance of a collection even just "dump everything at my door at I'll put it on the pile" could be considered "curation" but to call a list of tools "curated" suggests there's some selection going on, and there does not appear to be on this list.)

EDIT: In fact, all of the definitions of "curate" here[0] start with the word "select," for example "Select, organize, and look after the items in (a collection or exhibition)." This fits my meaning. This definition[1] of "curator" requires one to merely have "care and superintendence of something," so in that sense the list is "curated" insofar as someone looks at PRs and clicks the "merge" button.

The Miriam-Webster definition, however, speaks of curating a more general "something" rather than a "collection." If you "curate" a statue by cleaning & protecting it, fine, you don't need to select the statue. However, when a collection is curated, in my opinion, this necessarily implies selection, not just maintenance.

That's extremely optimistic and I admire you for thinking of it.

Surely though simply requiring all police officers to have their cameras on 24/7, with instant firing for switching them off while on-duty, or taping them. I've seen both during the protests. When the cops killed the BBQ guy, it was like 50 officers on site. All had their cameras off.
Honestly I am all for sandboxing by default and scary prompts for anything that doesn't subject itself to strict sandboxing or that tries to break out of it. That doesn't mean apps necessarily have to come from a MS curated store either, just that by default the run in a sandboxed context with access to dick squat on my system.

I absolutely hate when I install something like Adobe Acrobat and it installs 18 schedule tasks, a startup job to ensure those task exist, a tray icon to monitor it's services and all the other crap. No thanks.

I also don't want to have to worry about installing some random app I found on SourceForge that purports to do what I want but might come with the SF equivalent of News Gator side loaded.

Lock it all down by default in a virtual sandbox by default and if it needs legitimate access to my files, prompt me to grant it access.
Might be an MBR bot as well.
I recently went through this pain for an electron app. Non-EV code sign cert kept throwing SmartScreen warnings for most users. Acquiring an EV cert forced me to register a company and a hefty cert price per year, overall costing nearly $1500. Not to mention overall delay and added costs.

Meanwhile my $100/y Apple Dev subscription was enough to package the app and distribute outside App Store.

At this point I am fairly certain EV certs are nothing but rackets supported by MS.
Maybe commonly, but a) we have a pandemic right now and making people cough feels like an absolutely stupid idea and b) what about people with respiratory illnesses, e.g. asthma? You don't think that could play out badly?
There are tons of simple, compact, good, usually pretty fast-playing tabletop games around, mostly card games but with some exceptions. Love Letter and Arboretum are rightly famous (in board gamer circles). Hive, as a non-card two-player game. Sushi Go has quite a few "things" but you only choose some of them for a given game.

They do tend not to have a strong melding of theme and mechanics, which I think is how/why theme-heavy games can end up being so complex—tighter theme integration implies, if not requires, more mechanics and bits and bobs.
Assuming no knowledge of the process, Yup!

Although it's maybe complicated by the fact that Intel has active development on 7nm, so they might be able to pick up hints from an existing 7nm line.
What Jobs Would You Like to See Most?
The part that is insane to me is the idea that there is no way as a developer to get a "this product was reviewed and certified clean" label to guarantee a clean installation UX, even after buying a code signing certificate.

SmartScreen seems like a great idea for protecting the end user, but without ways to remediate "reputation" problems with some form of prior review, this makes the software ecosystem shitty especially for individuals and small software outfits.
Right, this is important to understand. The use of Tor isn't just about subverting government information gathering. But it's just as important in the fight against corporate collection, maybe even more so.

I'm (personally) less concerned about government spying on me than I am about corporations. That's not to justify government overreach, but I don't like the prospects of corporations like google, facebook, twitter holding as much (or more) of my information as the government does.
Agree about paying for QA. Users shouldn't be glorified beta testers.

I don't think “just hire QA” or “just pay for the telemetry” solves the issues of how you reliably deliver updates, bug fixes, and asses performance issues at the scale of a company like Microsoft, though. Even the best-funded QA department and millions spent incentivizing data sharing could struggle to achieve a fraction of the coverage that metrics baked into the OS achieves.

> Or, alternatively, actually pay users for telemetry

At a _minimum_, people should at least get free software updates based on findings from the metrics they share. By opting out I'm relying on others to provide that data instead, or for the company to spend more to get it from me or someone else like me, or for them to somehow improve the experience for me without knowing what my experience is.

I recognize that some feel very strongly that software should be possible to improve without any form of automated telemetry, though, and I respect the desire for an off switch and the continued drive for opt-out being the default.
Extremely frequently - I love to bash marketing at every given opportunity but books are tough - if I hand you a book you have no way to do a surface evaluation without leaning on associated knowledge - is it by an author you know - is it part of a series you like[1]. If not, then you've got the dust cover summary to go on and those will often be overwhelmingly positive even if it isn't warranted.

A friend of mine is an independent author who self-markets their books and they've learned over years where money will pay itself back and where you're throwing it into a hole - but not investing in promotion at all just means you'll be relegated to obscurity.

When I'm shopping for a broom I have some expectations - I've really grown to appreciate the rubber headed brooms over bristly ones and I am pretty tall so length is a decent consideration... When I'm shopping for a book, what do I have to go on? Cover art and the summary, probably... and those are hardly helpful.

1. Specifically I'm thinking of multi-author series like SW:EU or Dragonlance.
This depends on your company size and security requirements. I'd say use common sense for small companies, where the idea is mostly not to lose access to all of your decryption keys at once. As the company grows and you need to worry about trusting people, you are solving two problems: having an always-available fallback decryption key (that's the easy part, and indeed deposit boxes work just fine, but so does your parent's home in many cases :)), and restricting access to keys to those people who need it. The second problem is more difficult to solve.

My main point was that the use of hardware keys makes many things much easier, and you do not have to worry about your keys being copied and used without your knowledge. That's a big thing. Also, the often-ridiculed GnuPG is amazingly useful with Yubikeys (using the setup I linked to), because you can use the same keys for SSH, thus ensuring access to all resources as needed.
> sums it up with "isn't it great we have cellphones and facebook?"

Well, isn't it? I mean yes, that's not the only conclusion to be drawn here. But without their ubiquity, this would never have become a story in the first place.
It is possible I am misreading your post. Correct me as needed.

US absolutely has had overt lobbying efforts to ensure that slaves remain slaves. There are interest groups in US today that directly benefit from fanning the flames of racism.

I will stop here.
Also why are these certs so much more expensive compared to a normal SSL certificate?

There is some manual intervention, you usually end up with phone calls and emailing documents to and fro before the certificate is issued.

I last renewed mine in 2017, I'm dreading doing it next year as I don't have a public phone number which always causes problems. Sticking sharpened pencils in my eyes would probably be a more pleasurable experience.
I think you're confused about the meaning of "nutrient". Oils, or more generally fats/lipids, are macronutrients[1], as is the case with sugar and "highly processed flour". A diet with a variety of different foods (whether they come in boxes or are "processed" is irrelevant in general) and a good balance of macronutrients and micronutrients is healthy.

I'd say the largest public health issue related to this is that most people eat an overabundance of carbs. The next most important is that people don't eat a large enough variety of foods (or supplements) to get sufficient micronutrients.

This is funny, the other day when Microsoft released the code to GW-BASIC, I wrote this in response to someone saying their IBM PC booted into a version of BASIC rather than DOS:

I've always thought that using BASIC as the default command line was really weird... Like on an Apple II or TRS-80. You could type in a command to load something from a disk or run a program, or type a line number to start programming. How did that make sense to anyone?? To my 11yo self, it was confusing and I've never changed my mind.

To add to that thought, I think there's some things which are worth emulating from the good ol' days, and some which aren't. I think this is probably one of the latter.
> but that SmartScreen window has looked like that for many, many years

It changed a year or two ago. The "Run Anyways" button used to be on the main dialog. Now the user has to click the "More Info" button to see that option.
This seems very risky.

* Exit nodes might be run by malicious actors and unless you enforce always https they might snoop credentials.

* If you login to platforms like google/facebook/twitter/stock overflow it might still be possible to track you.

If you're worried that your employer is spying on you then tor can't help because they already have administrative access on your computer. I personally have a rule to never log into personal accounts from corporate devices.
MAD is for nukes, there's not mutually assured destruction in many conflicts going on today. Least of all for nations hacking one another.

This is closer to calling out nations for spying - everyone knows nations spy on one another, but they call them out to humiliate or other goals. It's not really new.
" It’s a nonsensical idea that they could avoid involvement in political issues given the definition of politics."

It's sensical.

The issues are objectivity and established protocols, independent of executive tinkering or favour.

If some government agency, or industry body, 'very intelligently' and hopefully in collaboration with all the necessary parties (highly doubtful but possible), established a set of 'regulatory protocols for social media' - then FB, Twitter could wash their hands of this.

They set up internal controls, a segregated unit with maybe an 'independent oversight board' based on those policies. When there are special cases, they are flagged to the regulatory body who can maybe provide guidance and a ruling.

That way, instead of Zuck coming out and saying 'this is why it was allowed or not' - you have the head of some FB body making the statement, backed by the oversight board, and why it conforms with the specific, established regulatory guidance.

That said, it would also probably be within Twitter/FB rights to remove anything else they wanted to remove, after all, they are a private company. If we wanted to extend their status by virtue of their influence as 'partial public good' - then maybe they could only remove other content within certain parameters (i.e. advertisers don't want it or whatever).

FYI - the Trump 'Tweet' itself was terrible ("Once the looting starts, the shooting starts") and is easily within any policy grounds to take down - however - the actual FB post by Trump, is not that, rather, it's that sentence plus an indication that the statement is meant to infer that looting causes violence etc. which is actually very reasonably above bar. For example, if Trump made the FB post alone, without having made the previous Tweet, there'd be little said about it. It's not controversial to say "When rioting starts, violence starts because things get out of control etc. etc." i.e. a contextualize statement.

I'm really perplexed at why Mark and Jack Dorsey have any inclination to stand in the world and justify their willy nilly decisions to do this or that on a case by case basis. It makes them seem like they're making it up as they go along, an it's just inviting controversy. It's a no-win.

Get some really cold, boring, intelligent, articulate administrator with a legal background, someeone with the stature and credibility of a judge ... and let them do the talking - the world will appreaciate it.

During Covid - all over the world - we're seeing doctors and bureaucrats take the microphone. It's very refreshing to see people who know what they are talking about, speak in detail. They don't seem political. They are super boring to the point where it's dry, anti-populism, they speaking like real adults.

Then we can argue about regulations instead of personal politics.
Why? The vast majority of people don't live in the USA, don't have any influence over it and just want to get on with their job. Or would you like it if a whole bunch of websites you relied on started disappearing because of some political fight in the EU.
Sounds too harsh for the first, unless $X is very low. What if you learn from the counternotice that they're not going to be able to be able to pay a judgement?

And the second is also too harsh - you should have the opportunity to defend yourself in court, not automatically pay money just for standing up for your rights.
That may be, but not because of a barrier to entry. (the wall around the garden)
Are we factoring in the vastly different requirements for each profession starting out?

Seems disingenuous to compare say Doctors who go through medical school vs people who only need a high school degree and however long training takes.
> Put another way, C doesn't let you get away with the try it and see approach the way many other languages do.

Exactly, and I don't see any upside to this "tradeoff". It seems strictly worse, but maybe I'm missing something.

Is "the norm for the medical profession is high pay where as the norm for police is slightly above minimum wage" overstating things a little?

Looks like NYC cops make more than NYC nurses, or it's close.

From the source, starting $42K, $85K after 5 years, plus benefits:

https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/careers/police-officers/po-be...

New York nursing, average pay (> 5 years) $83K, $89K in NYC.

When you factor in years of medical school for the degree, medical malpractice insurance, and lack of benefits versus police pension, police are generally netting more.
> Wouldn't be legally recognized as a library, which was something the IA spent years clawing to be recognized as.

That's an important nuance that I and others missed.

> No, it couldn't.

Why not? The publishers win a judgement for a value that exceeds that of the IA's total assets, and all of the IA's infrastructure gets seized and auctioned off in the bankruptcy proceedings.
Sure, medical professionals get paid a lot. They also have a lot of tuitions/student loans to pay.

Training and educating medical professionals is not a cheap task.
> But yeah I bet some jazz would be baffling. I wonder how fast it'd take people to get into it

Even without going into crazy experimental free jazz, most people of western cultures are baffled by something like Giant Steps. I don't know how fast they could "get into it", but I don't think it would easy
I believe there was a thread here previously on this topic. It varies across jurisdictions but most police officers are paid better than other salaried workers[1], which is significantly above the minimum wage[2].

[1] https://www.themarshallproject.org/2015/04/06/in-blue-but-no...

[2] The effective nationwide minimum wage, (the wage that the average minimum wage worker earns), is $11.80 as of May 2019. So 40 hr/week * 52 weeks = $24,544 annually. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_wage_in_the_United_Sta...)
I ran into this issue when writing a small automation tool for a friends business.

I'm very glad it's being developed, but it is in no way a GnuPG alternative.

GnuPG is a command-line tool that is omnipresent, keys can be stored on Yubikeys, can be used with ssh-agent, and I can use it to encrypt files in an automated fashion, using both symmetric and asymmetric crypto.
This looks way easier than getting Vault setup! Unfortunately, googling for it returns a ton of info about Apache Knox which is an unfortunate name clash. I would love to see this catch on. Thanks for the share!
wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_bullet

When I was at school they[0] brought round a rubber bullet (I presume it was a plastic bullet actually but they called it rubber). It was a light grey, featureless cylinder, flat at both ends, at least as my memory has it. It was surprisingly light, seemed to have barely any heft at all.

We were told it was the very bullet that killed a protester in northen ireland.

> No, you did not address GP in good faith.

I did. Please don't presume to know my thoughts.

> Anti-fascists calling themselves such in no way means that everyone they oppose is actually a fascist.

This doesn't address my comment, nor is it what GP said. Id suggest you reread their comment. And mine.

I'll break it down:

> Antifa literally exist to use violence upon people who don't share their politics

This is overbroad. Many people don't share antifa politics. I don't. They don't threaten me with violence. Something is missing here.

> which is one of the hallmarks of fascism

So this is only sensical in an overbroad generalization of antifa to mean "violent left wing people who are violent towards anyone not suitably left wing", which isn't antifa under any reasonable definition, and is an entirely circular argument.

So yes, please: explain.
So then how do you manage the secret that authenticates an application's identity? And what good is the logging if after an application has the secret it can do whatever it wants with it?
