From what I've seen is everything is peaceful during the day time, but after the curfews or when it becomes an unlawful gathering (i.e. blocking interstates etc.) is when police intervene. Which is what they job is supposed to be. The methods used for crowd control are acceptable when things reach the above mentioned criteria. Protests during daylight hours, and not breaking other laws is fully protected by 1st amendment, and I have seen no sign of police missteps in my city during these lawful peaceful demonstrations.
Get out of here. You whine about people putting words in mouths after saying

* We're calling Floyd a saint
* We support looting
* We don't take covid seriously

And you say a whole slew of accusations that you KNOW aren't widespread (and likely untrue) and don't post sources. And you'll say something like it's a liberal media coverup, but you won't have shit to back up your claims.
There's a reason rent-control is almost universally despised among economists. That said, of all the rent-control policies I've seen, I think the least-bad is what they've been using in Spain: no rent increases for 5 years after move-in, then increases are only allowed every 3 years after that.

They've implemented a time-based stabilizing mechanism, instead of an arbitrary percentage-based cap. Moving is a huge cost for a tenant, so if a landlord raises rents every year, expecting people to be able to move every year to a fairly-priced place is insanity. But, I do think most people can handle a move every 5 years to a cheaper neighborhood if they need to.
Many people have said this many times, but love him or hate him, Steve Jobs did a good job of keeping this kind of stuff from deteriorating. (Sure there was AntennaGate and "You're holding it wrong", that wasn't Apple's or Jobs' best moment for sure...)

You're assuming this is in the US; some countries have different requirements and it's much easier to set up a business fraudulently. Not to mention, given the current situation with fraudulent covid-related unemployment/benefit claims in the US I am pretty sure there are ways to set up a business fraudulently in the US too.
Well actually...

guns tend to have an amazing return on investment. Every time a gun law passes, my buddy's gun collection goes up in value.

But to be more serious. I hadn't really thought about it before, but the majority things in your list, while often considered trashy in american culture, all tend to have the potential to have big negative externalities. This could end up being a real problem for things like UBI. As an economist, I have some pretty severe reservations about UBI mostly at a meta level regarding unavoidable inflationary pressures that may all but negate the value of an UBI. But it could end up being even worse than I imagine if an UBI ends up flooding neighborhoods with an excess of high negative externality goods and services.

Still, I've heard good things about the effects of direct cash transfers in very poor regions. They seem to be no more destructive than, say, giving cattle, while having lower overhead so more of the wealth is transferred. I understand much of the money ends up going towards things that more money conscious people might considered wasteful, but many indicators suggest there's still a general life improvement for those who receive the cash, even if the effects may be short lived. So I'm a little open minded about the concept in general.
Are you suggesting > .6% (31/5000) of the protesters were journalists? That seems implausible.

It's not that clear cut fortunately. There are people who do this because they really believe it should be done. Even without large org support, they'll be out there.

Thanks for mentioning it. I gave up on Redis because I had a lot of trouble sharding it / distributing it years ago and I kind of forgot about it and stopped being interested in its features.

But what you mention is very interesting and I'll have it in mind for the future. Thank you.
This is so frustrating to hear. A lot of comments mention the IA "overreaching" with this. While I agree from a legal perspective, I don't agree morally. The IP lobby overreached when they got life of author + 70 years / 120 years corporate copyright monopolies passed into law. Is there any individual who argues that 120 years of monopoly is reasonable?

The worst part for me is the lack of agency I feel. I see something so vehement being enforced globally, and it makes me feel like I'm being ruled by some enemy mafia, not a representative democracy. Similar to the war on drugs in the US, I see this as actively sabotaging society for the benefit of a few.
I think it would be fair to say that UBI causes inflation and to also say that taxation lowers inflation.
Thanks for joining the discussion. Do you think the authors' association figure, that about 3 % of publishers' revenue goes to authors, is correct?

In what kind of weird and twisted world do police officers need to push cars to the side on a daily basis?
You could scrape Twitter and Facebook to compile a list of everyone who has attended and been involved with the protests/riots and provide this to employers/hiring agencies.
I never realized that but we have exactly the same thing in French : three categories on verbs, the most regular and sensible is the first one and this is where all the imported words fall into: débugger, rebooter,...

Of course Unix actually operations on streams of bytes, which often represent text, but not always.

At one of my past jobs there was a fingerprint reader system to enter the office.

> Too long have abhorrent actions by Donald Trump gone completely unchecked by major platforms

Why blame the platforms? What have the society, people, leaders done about it? He is the elected president after all. Hint: maybe there is a very large chunk of population that agrees with him. This might disgust you but I don't know what the fix is if a huge number of people are "backward"
Just because you don't die, doesn't mean your job is safe. Most of the time, getting shot, stabbed, punched in the face, or hit by a car is not lethal. That doesn't make it ok or mean that you're safe. I'm pretty sure that if every time you went into the office, there was a good chance that someone would try to strike you, you'd quickly conclude that your workplace wasn't very safe.

It reminds of me of all the people still referring to Covid as a "bad cold" or "not a big deal" because the fatality rate is only 0.5%, completely ignoring any and all concern around morbidity, as if being stuck on ventilator or having permanent lung damage was just fine because it wasn't fatal.
It wasn't excluded. "If an officer wouldn't fire a gun, they shouldn't use tear gas." I was examining the case where a cop could fire their gun, but instead chooses a less-lethal means first because we've given them a continuum of force.

Imagine a scenario where a small group of cops is watching a peaceful rally. You and your family are part of the rally. Now, a subgroup of the people near the rally start to pelt the cops with bricks and rocks. The cops are surrounded and wildly outnumbered. If de-escalation does not immediately work and the cops have a less-lethal means of response, they should use that initially. If you deny them all the less-lethal means, they're going to use lethal means to defend themselves. You and your family are now in the area where copper bullets are flying because you didn't want the cops to have tear gas.

I'm sure being tased sucks. I know tear gas sucks. I'm also pretty sure both suck a lot less than being shot and that the Taser company and police use of tear gas have saved lives.
> It's hard for me to imagine what use case the current behavior is optimized for.

I think the current behavior is optimized for people who use the mouse for everything and don’t feel confident enough to edit the URL of the site they’re on. Such people aren’t comfortable with learning new keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl-L or Alt-D, so they will notice an increase in speed because they only have to click once to select the URL. I imagine before they were either triple-clicking or clicking once and hitting Ctrl-A. Then those users type the name of the next site they want to visit, completely replacing the current URL, and press Enter to visit it.
Distributed Locks Are Dead; Long Live Distributed Locks (2019)
Yes I think it the economic issue has eclipsed the race issue due to the strides we've made against racism in modern times (of which there is still much to do).

I find it very hard to talk about this issue concisely but I'll try. Other races were poor 50+ years ago just as they are today and I believe these poor people suffer many of the disadvantages many African Americans suffer because they are indeed the same.

Edit: that wasn't very concise it seems after rereading it. I failed to mention that I don't think any other race (in the US) has been as totally economically disenfranchised as African Americans were and that is why this is predominantly an issue that affects African Americans.
I suspect that gesture input adoption, categorically, has emergent properties. Many different things have to "go right" for the input category to take off in a way that is hard to grok.

The use of gestures has to appeal to hardcore gamers (in this case). The motion tracking needs to be sufficiently advanced. There can't be a swifter, dopamine enhancing alternative (like mashing buttons on a keyboard). A critical mass of developers need to make games with gestures as a core mechanic. Etc...

I offer Pavlov VR as an example. Pavlov is like Counterstrike, except many of the mechanics are gesture based.

- You grab your gun off your back

- You actually need to look through the scope for zoom, physically bringing your head and hands into alignment

- You have to reach over your left shoulder to activate the walkie-talkie for remote communication

- Reloading is a multi-step process and varies from gun to gun

You might say that I'm proving your point about gestures mapping to real-life, but that's not why I bring up Pavlov. I'm using it to illustrate the aforementioned emergent properties, because all of those gestures add up to something unexpected: even with subpar graphics and a low budget, it is fun. Not only that, but it is fun in an unexpected, novel way for FPS games. Suddenly, your kill count, headshots, etc...don't matter as much. The immersion as well as the social element of the game are huge. You are so zoomed in, so in the moment, when you are in a firefight, poking out your head out to snipe the sniper before rushing back below the barrier, in a way that you wouldn't be in a 2D game.

Microsoft could technically have made a Pavlov Kinect, but who would play it? Almost no one. People would complain that traditional controls make much more sense, and they would have a point. It's simply awkward to squirm around in front of a 2D screen. There's a disconnect between the input modality (3D gestures) and the display modality (2D screen) when using the Kinect. In VR, both the input and the display are in 3D harmony.
Both of these are true, but I find that the second, at least, isn't as much of a problem as you'd expect. Most modules that configure services give you the ability to specify complete config files, which you can build whatever higher level structure you like on top of.

For example, the built-in firewall is fairly basic (at least for running on a router; it does nearly everything you'd need for most desktop and server applications). I run NixOS on my router, so I needed something more. So, I wrote https://github.com/thequux/nix-zone-firewall (note: the readme is slightly out of date, but it does give you the gist of it). First, I built a way to declaratively put rules in different chains (core.nix), and then I built a zone-based firewall on top of that. I then have another layer of configuration options in my router's config (not that repo) to be able to spread configuration across multiple files.

Even though this was the first significant bit of Nix that I wrote, I still was able to put the entire thing together in a single evening after work.

I'm trying to find the pattern in your bad examples. It's not morality, they're all luxuries? Would a gaming computer be bad?

UBI should incentivise other income and would still be available even to the wealthy. Some of the extra will go to industriousness, some will go to frivolousness, but would we expect anything different from general economic prosperity? I guess we need to find a control group that gets more money on their own?
Thank you for your feedback.
Say there is no signup, would you be interested in being part of this community to share your micro goals with others and see what people are trying to achieve?
Thanks - I knew all that, but I guess I expected those semantics to be implicit rather than explicit. I guess because we're not really looking at an "AST" but an intermediate executable representation. Certainly this is good for understanding what Ruby is doing, but not so useful for understanding what fib is doing - trees vs. forest. I guess what you really want is to be able to zoom into IL-semantics only if you care about such things, otherwise you show only enough detail to get across the algorithm being expressed -- possibly with the addition of declaratively showing additional constraints that have been added by the runtime without showing how the contraints have been satisfied.

No, the police do not have a monopoly on the lawful use of force. Not in the USA... or, at least, not in most areas of the USA.

It's ironic that the people trying their best to change that are also the ones who are most closely aligned with the victims of police brutality, politically speaking. One of many things I don't understand.
In most US states it's very easy and inexpensive to register a business.

Mage knight has also one of the most thick books I have ever dealt with.

To me the problems are the "micro rules", those that apply to very specific circumstances and are very hard to remember.

These kind of games get also obliterated by those with a short ruleset but same type of depth.

I'm thinking of Azhul, 7 wonders duel, century. Those 3 are very deep, but the rules are barely a few pages comoared to the 40 pages of mage knight.

Granted that i do like mage knight, committing to it is problematic to say the least. And I have a board game table to keep it out!
Now do one with code that actually delivers the same output as the papers.

Federal government's purpose is international relations, trade, and defense. Everything should be handled by the states, counties, and towns.

Part of what makes federal debt dangerous is the fact that we can't possibly run the country without issuing large amounts of debt at this point. If debt continues to grow at the rates that is has been, eventually tax revenue won't even cover the interest on said debt. At some point the US will have to be issuing debt to pay off interest on other debt, assuming we aren't there now - haven't checked in a while. Even assuming that investors never realize how much of a house of cards this is, this continual increase in the money supply will eventually lead to a large amount of inflation, which will devalue the currency, increasing debt required, which feeds back into the loop.

Currently, we don't have a major problem manifesting, but judging from pretty much every other country that has run massive debt for an extended period, it is just a matter of time.
You can assert copying isn't stealing, but the part where "I have something I didn't have a minute ago, and would normally have to pay money to acquire it, but didn't" is pretty clear-cut.

Just because someone wasn't deprived of the thing you now have doesn't mean they weren't deprived of something of value, and pretending otherwise is a juvenile see-no-evil defense.

Well I would hope that many BHLs or similar, I am a Libertarian, as asking themselves, how did blue cities get to this point. The Democratic Party has been pretty much in control of politics in most major US cities for decades; it is only common rebuttal here on many stories that cities are losing out to rural suburban areas at the national level to Republicans.

The question they should ask is, why did the party turn from the people who put it into power and become beholden to public employee unions which encompass police, fire, education, if not regular government employees. Easy answer, the support where the money comes from. People decry corporate money in politics but this money is more poisonous because of its out sized influence because of pressure they can put on any politician who tries to stand up to them; just go google stories of these unions protesting in the streets of the homes of politicians making moves against them, they have bought billboards and even homes nearby to put pressure down.

TL,DR : This is all about money. The politicians have been more than willing to turn a blind eye to police malfeasance; if not problems in fire departments and education; because the money is too good and the groups involved have very big influence over the citizenry.
You're quite right; this is another aspect of the same sort of problem: Police being trained by the military or by military veterans (be they American or foreign.)

When the matter of police training is raised, much consideration is given to the training police aren't receiving but should receive. I think too few consider the matter of training the police are receiving but shouldn't be.

Car chases? If, when they stop the car, it’s in the middle of the road, you can’t just leave it there until a tow truck comes; that’d block traffic for longer. So, push it to the side.
Unfortunately, outside of most popular tasks it is much less populated. But it's community driven, so I encourage researchers from areas for which leaderboards are not populated to fill them and try to keep it up to date. It's not hard to choose a single task and update the tables and can be very profitable for the community.
