It's pedantic, but we do that here: it's certainly not the case that nobody is ever held accountable, at least when speaking of criminal behavior by the police. If you want people to listen, speak carefully.

Some police acts enrage me, for sure. Really. At the same time, the rioter behavior we've seen in the last three days might be worse than the sum total of all of that. And I know that the police have to deal with this shit day in and day out. It's an impossible job, and yet we cannot survive without them.

Maybe someday we can have AI robot policemen instead, programmed to very careful protocols. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Maybe this is true, but we can address the bigger issues while also making sure people are comfortable in the meantime :) it's really not a big deal to just avoid using a certain word if people don't like it.
"The psychologist and linguist Steven Pinker has an idea called ‘the curse of knowledge’.”

He didn’t have the idea originally, it is a generally accepted idea that predates him and should better not be associated with Pinker’s feelgoodery bias.

Gads, with all the OP, no actual modern,
actionable recipe for Vinaigrette!

[Uh, safe to say that currently
Vinaigrette is not a stew with all four
stomachs of a cow!]

Here's my current standard: In a bowl of
1+ quarts, combine all but the oil and
with a French style wire whip mix:

2/3 C (cup) red wine vinegar

1 1/2 T (tablespoon) finely minced garlic

3 T Dijon mustard

1/2 T dried basil

1/2 T dried oregano

2 T dried parsley

1/2 t salt

pepper (to taste)

2 C olive oil

While whipping, dribble in the olive oil
to make an emulsion, held together by
the mustard.

For a more delicate flavor, for the herbs,
use only thyme.

Use on green salads, cooked, cold
vegetables, e.g., green beans, artichoke
hearts, sliced cold meats, maybe some
more.

What can be somewhat better, make a
Vinaigrette for a Caesar salad by
including with the above and before the
oil:

1 egg boiled 10 seconds (to sterilize the
outside of the shell), make a better
emulsion, and add some flavor and
viscosity

1 T Worcestershire sauce

One 2.0 ounce can flat anchovies packed in
oil, minced, with oil

Toss with washed, dried, chilled Romaine
lettuce and top with croutons (flavored
with garlic and olive oil) and grated
Parmesan cheese.

Can serve both with French bread, maybe
also with curls of sour cream butter.

Either can be good.

Indoors can show off a nice table setting.
Outdoors can just make a big show!

For still more, can serve the Caesar salad
with chunks of, say, grilled chicken.

Since recently moved, have not done either
Vinaigrette in a while. Have accumulated
nearly everything needed. Sooooo, time to
do it again.

Ah, "One of the good old-time flavors left
to enjoy!".
Damn you really dove in. I respect that. Maybe I was being hard on you, but I still don't really understand or trust your motives here.

I do still believe that, yes. The institution of police is filled with inherently good people, who somehow get corrupted - probably by power-aggregators desperate to maintain power.
See, I actually agree... it's the originalists who have a problem.

If you want to talk about the press, and having rights abridged by not having ink then you better actually be in the business of printing (or maybe a potential member of a well regulated militia?). Waiting periods have been deemed perfectly constitutional so it's a lot harder to argue that those so horrifically unprepared and unwilling to wait for their mail order ammo (yep that's legal!) to be delivered are really having rights infringed more than my free speech is being infringed by being forced to wear a shirt and shoes (or even pants) to be served food.
Don’t know why you were modded down; you’re absolutely right. WRT self driving cars, I would never buy or knowingly ride in one which had programming which did not in all cases act to maximize the safety of the occupants. ML is stupid; the last thing I want is for a computer to try to make split second ethical and value judgments about people outside my car when deciding how best to save my life. I don’t want a car driving me off a cliff to avoid hitting a school bus, for instance. Are those kids or dwarves? How many kid lives add up to more value than my own? What if my kid is in the car with me? It quickly becomes obvious that the problem isn’t relevant to self driving cars.

I hate the touchbar. I am a professional programmer and need all the keys I can get. The touchbar removed a number of keys that I used with Emacs, and in return I get little tiny picture that I have to look at before using. Right now the Touch Bar is mostly showing the three words that my Mac thinks I might be typing next based on the prefix that I've already typed. Really? Does it think that after typing D followed by o as I start this sentence that I want to look at the touchbar to see it's guesses and then press 'Does' to save typing the e key followed by the s key. Its a totally stupid feature on a keyboard for people that know how to type.

Dear Website,

I wish you would put the "Read a message" button above the content so it doesn't jump around vertically each time I click it.
From what I have seen, the cost of Internet-based courses is generally pretty high. Seems like you would be paying a high per credit cost minus the on-campus costs like room and board. There are going to be exceptions but that seems to be about the norm. There are a few places where State Universities give free tuition to in-state residents.

I remember paying about $12 a credit a long time ago and that was difficult. These days, I don't know how normal people can afford to go to school. You get yourself deep in debt for student loans you can never pay off. I don't know how that can be workable.
Out of irrational fear. Those armed white guys didn't beat anyone up, throw rocks at police, loot anything, or burn anything. If Democrats have an irrational fear of "rednecks", they need to work on that.

Whereas these "thugs" today doing all of the above aren't protestors, in fact I've heard many protestors speak out against them too, and they seem to include quite a lot of young white leftists just looking to cause trouble.

The remark you're referring to was specifically about looters, so I think it's a bit dishonest to compare that to a group of peaceful protestors.
This is wonderful. How is content moderation being addressed? That's always going to be my primary concern with this sort of thing.
I don't really care. I sat down with protesters myself in Oakland, and while we were sitting, cops fired into the crowd.

I don't think you can blame Soros or Murdoch for that. That crime is in someone in the cop's chain of command - as well as each officer that decided not to call in sick yesterday.
Simple and effective like a charm
These are the big points I see for servers, I am sure there are more though!

* Less resource usage for users

If you do mesh signaling every user connect with each other via P2P. This means if you have a 4 person conference call everyone needs to upload their video 3 times. If you have a media server each user uploads only once, and then the server distributes the video. This means a lot less CPU and network usage for each user.

* P2P Connections reveal details about the user

If users are connecting directly to each other they are able to figure out details like their public IP. If you route everything through a server you can anonymize more things.

* Protocol Bridging

People want to view RTSP/RTMP/$X via WebRTC. A media server is the only way to make it happen.

* Less variability to deal with

When doing P2P connections you will deal with a lot more variables. It will be harder to figure out which user's internet is causing issue, or debug encode/decode issues. A few times running a SFU has come really in handy because I was able to debug something that would have been impossible when just doing P2P.

AU media face defamation liability for comments on Facebook
You're totally striking on exactly how I would frame thought experiments. They're a tool that helps further a conversation and discussion, to challenge what might be a preconceived notion.

Once you shake out enough thoughts from the thought tree, you can hopefully discover what they're all pointing to in order to find what might _actually_ be driving an ethical decision.
I also saw this advice in “How to make friends and influence people” but I found that following it alienated people: they often felt like they were being interrogated instead of enjoying a conversation.
No, it does not. A policeman acting like one of these rioters--kicking an unconscious person in the head--should be charged with attempted murder. And in my opinion, never breathe free air again.

> if you spent your whole life getting treated as a second class citizen and peaceful protest did not work, and voting did not work, and nothing changed, could you not see yourself getting a little tired of living a lesser life?

That describes me pretty well. Nonetheless, I obey the law. And I certainly don't beat people, especially when they're unconscious.
> why do they treat their customers who make them their money with such disrespect

Because "respect" in this case costs money. And because they can, since precisely the transaction is so tacit. It might take a few more decades until we can make explicit the nature of data and surveillance based transactions. Imagine if your grocery store's loyalty card was used in a way that required saying "do you want to sell the information of what you bought today for $x.xx?" or "you are paying %x more today for this product because we were able to calculate it with the data you or people like you provided in the past, which shows you would pay for it".

I think it is obvious the billions of profit ads businesses are making is not matching their value to the humanity or the productivity of the company. It is a monopolistic game with economies of scale on these little externalities, unpriced transactions that creates that sweet margin. In that scale, you are almost nothing, while "respecting" you doesn't work well. Unless there is PR pressure or a reduction to product usage, there is absolutely no incentive to be better in that regard, while there is all the incentive to grow the userbase, grow the margins, grow the surveillance.
> It's not so different from liking certain genres of music that strike the rest of us and just being borderline-offensive noise.

As a fan of certain avant-garde music, I've talked with a fair few fellow concertgoers about what their "origin story" is, how they got into this music that appeals only to a niche. It never had to do with discovering a community of fans and wanting to fit in with them – discovering like-minded people only happened later. Rather, the exposure to the avant-garde music was something random. Often it was seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey and being bowled over by the György Ligeti pieces in the score.

In my own case, I owe my discovery of this music to listening to one of the new-arrivals CDs in the classical-music section of my local record shop (remember CDs and listening booths?). What I heard made me hooked for life, and it was some years before I ever discovered any kind of group that I could even be in with.

The same is true of visual art. Vastly more people like Vasarely or Bacon because they stumbled upon one of those Taschen volumes in a bookshop, than hang out in art-gallery circles and actually talk to other art lovers.

So excuse me if I take offense at your post, which seems to dismiss music that authentically gives us pleasure (and initially a purely solitary pleasure) by tarring us fans as disingenous frauds or peacocks. There is almost always someone who posts the same thing as you in these kind of discussions, and it never ceases to disappoint me.

Judging from this thread full of compassionate people, it's pretty clear to me that they should be the ones being cops, and not the current cops.

So we should compensate cops the equivalent salary of a software developer, to create incentives for a career change, and then we can train former cops as software developers. We might end up with more bugs in software, but at least there will not be any police abuse any more.
If you train a chicken to pull a trolley lever, does it weigh on the conscious of the chicken whether they killed 1 chicken vs 5 chickens?

I don’t know if that’s quite what they meant. I understood it as an “intuitiveness.”

I used to work with young adults on the autism spectrum at a ymca camp and the higher functioning folks lacked the ability to intuitively interact with others- the same way I might not intuitively understand engineering problems. I get frustrated by them and don’t know what to do. Imagine if that is how you felt interacting with people on a very basic basis.
Not sure if this is what GP meant, but I guess it can be understood as "since what matters is the content, just use React".

Could this be due to the rise of pure mathematics in influencing philosophers? In pure math, counter examples play a very important role: show once counter example, disprove an entire claim.

The violinist in the article is clearly trying to be a pure math- like counter example, but to me, misses the emotional aspect of pregnancy (at the least) - a fetus is not a random person, it is you (partly), and furthermore, many would say society (and the species) depend on having babies, whereas the society and the species do not depend on violin players.

Not saying I agree with these arguments only that the real world is substantially messier than pure math, and thus, pure math thinking may stumble when applied to real world problems.

Tl;dr: humans are not rational in our beliefs and the continued attempts on all disciplines to assume we are, are well, irrational.
> For the latter, it can take a few hours of labor and a lift to do the swap-out

Only if it's a giant monolith. Smaller modules wouldn't have this issue, especially if accessible from, say, removable floor panels or somesuch.

(Hell, you could have both - a giant monolith that you could replace all at once from below, or individual modules you could replace one-at-a-time from above)

> for something that will only ever happen once.

Will it, though? Like, battery technology will (hopefully) continue to improve, in which case there will always be a desire to upgrade to the latest-and-greatest, preferably without tacking on a bunch of labor costs (or else keep said costs to a minimum; user-swappable batteries make things easier for the repair shops, too). And damages could still happen, necessitating replacement (particularly partial replacement; it would suck to have to remove, replace/refurbish, and reinstall the entirety of the car's power storage just to fix one cell).

> just like most ICEs don't ever have their motor/transmission/etc replaced.

Usually because most people write them off and sell 'em to Pick N' Pull when that happens, not because internal combustion engines last forever. Personally, I'd prefer my cars to not be disposable.
Disagree here, myself and many many peers considered ourselves "experienced" programmers before college (starting at 7 years old etc), and we were barely intern material in reality. Push yourself every day and learn tools (there are always new tools to learn) to be relevant--this goes for students, new grads, seniors, etc.
I think there is selection bias in number two here. I am really skeptical that taking psychology classes really would help many people's interpersonal skills, at least not very much.

I would be more inclined to believe that the kind of person who is interested in signing up for psych classes is already more interested in understanding how other people think in a way that naturally benefits them socially.

I agree Java streams and concurrent collections are great.

I agree Go cannot offer similar things due to a weaker type system.

I willingly code Go day-to-day. I miss Java streams, and sometimes the codebase is slightly worse due to the lack of Java streams (or equivalent).

I accept a weaker language because I spend less time debating the Right Way to do things (Go is too inexpressive to support a Right Way), and because I can widen my hiring pool from those that know Java, to those that any language, knowing that they can easily pick up Go.
I, myself, have been wondering where the "free speech" crowd is this week. A common theme I see here is outrage about censorship by private companies. In the last 4 years, we've seen Trump railing against the press, encouraging people to assault members of the press, etc. In the last 4 days, we've seen members of the press getting maimed, falsely arrested, and assaulted by the police. This is overt suppression of the press by the government, plain and simple violations of our constitution (and quite relevant to this story). This kind of treatment of the press is something that's been used as a partial justification to invade other countries in my lifetime -- that it's happening in the US with hardly any commentary by the "free speech" advocates is a great disappointment to me.

But the "reactionary" crowd is still here -- looking at their patterns of posting on [1], it looks almost tailored to get the story flagged (accounts got banned, but that page only lasted on the front page for a few good minutes). The truth of the matter is that folks are uncomfortable discussing race, because our community has internalized a lot racism. Discussing our society's painfully visible race inequity is "flamebait" because racists gonna show up and drag the conversation down.

>Yes, deliberately preventing anyone from providing care or defense for a person who's being murdered makes you an accomplice to the murder.

Are we in agreement that this was documented as happening, and the other cops present were accomplices in the murder of George Floyd? If so, why do you think they aren't being charged?

>Who should the city of Cleveland have charged justly to prevent this?

I assumed GP meant Minneapolis, which I feel is reasonable given the context. But okay, random US city accepted. Let's see if your city has a history of letting cops get away with killing innocent black people... oh yeah, one of your cops killed a 12 year old kid who was playing airsoft in the park and was subsequently hired by another police department in the same state without facing any charges.[0] So maybe charging Tim Loehmann would have helped make your city less sensitive to this pattern being repeated elsewhere in the country.

I don't think violence against businesses is helpful, but I do think violence against the government is helpful; it seemed to get a cop charged. They need to stop this pattern of violence ASAP, and they need to face time for crimes committed.
