If you can rely on audience being quite technical, IPFS is a pretty good, very censorship-resistant approach. There are some IPFS bridges that make viewing content easier.

If IPFS is out of the question, I'd look for hosting services that talk openly about being censorship-resistant. Won't give any links, but there are a couple, even if slightly shady looking.
I dont know why this gets downvoted so much. Let me elaborate:

i have witnessed Police brutality first hand. Even here where we dont go through much of the authoritarian training americans are used to, i.e christian churches with heavy influence - here religion is merely a nostalgic thing.

I know also that even here victims of Police brutality basically have No Chance of retaliation.

That beeing said, a video that looks ugly does not necessarily mean the Police acted wrong.

Ok i bite, Link a Video and i will come up with a story that atleast explains the police behaviour, If not justifies it.
This abuse of power is the direct result of the militarization of our police force.

I say we take away their guns.

If a suspect is brandishing a firearm, they can call in a separate unit allowed to carry weapons.

Also, no more riot gear. The police can’t be trusted with it. Let the national guard have it, but train them for emergency response, not hunting down crooks.
Thank you for this! Your site might be a good place to signal-boost potential solutions to the problem of police brutality as well. I stumbled across a Twitter thread earlier which has some interesting ideas: https://mobile.twitter.com/samswey/status/118065570127173222...

Thank you, this list is much appreciated.
I don’t understand why we get paid so much here. I’m from the UK but have been working in the US since I got my degree and my total comp - after adjusting for cost-of-living is easily 2x-3x what it would be in the UK for the exact same work.

It’s similar if you compare Seattle with Vancouver, BC - it’s only a 2-hour drive away, but salaries for the same work are around 50-66% of Seattle’s.
I strongly second both of these points will provide some more color:

> 1. Don't assume your CS classes will always be easy.

Easy or quick. Some of my worst college experiences involved putting off CS work that, while still easy, had sneaky edge-cases that took many hours to cover. Don't be lazy with your CS projects and you will be in a comfortable place.

> 2. Try to double major or minor in something completely unrelated to CS and math

Sage advice. I know a few CS/SE majors who minored in psych. Each, without exception, left college with an understanding of what drives office politics and dynamics that surpassed their peers. Computers are easy in that they work in objective ways. It is hard to overstate how valuable a diverse education can be once you are in the real world dealing with real (read: flawed) humans.
Hm interesting
Definitely not a waste of time. Learning to think in a non-CS way can be incredibly valuable. Will it make you a better programmer? Maybe not. Will it make you a more effective employee, founder, or person? Yes.
It would be useful to put together a taxonomy of error modes that a social issue can have when it becomes famous. For example, accusing the victim of faking it ("crisis actors"), accusing protestors of overreacting ("thugs"), claiming that protestors have foreign elements making things worse ("auslander thugs"), and of course claiming that nothing happened to begin with, or the evidence for the claim was faked. No doubt this is a very long list, limited only by human rhetorical ingenuity.
> I really disagree.

Both Bernanke (former chair of Fed) and Krugman (Nobel winner) have called the programs to date "disaster relief".

Many people cannot work because of the lockdowns, but still need to pay rent and food and such, so the checks are to bridge that gap.

> Plus a second wave of infections from premature opening could set recovery back a long, long time. What we need is to stay the course and keep disaster relief in place. Unfortunately, little sign that Trump and allies will do that 5/

> To deal with this properly, however, we need to get past standard rhetoric. The economy is, in effect, in a deliberately induced coma—and necessarily so. So this isn’t about “job creation” or economic growth; we don’t need “stimulus.” What we need is disaster relief on an unprecedented scale, to get people through the shutdown with as little misery as possible.

It could be the proportion of iatrogenic deaths is decreasing. Like, initially hospitals were being aggressive with ventilators on people who were very ill, because "what do you have to lose", and then there were some articles about being more judicious in their use and cutting mortality substantially.
> think also compiling a list of video and photos of the good police who are joining, supporting police

I think this is really important in any scenario like this where it feels like "us vs them".

Outrage shines a light, but that is merely step one. If people really want change they need to imagine what it feels like to be someone in the other "group", and remember it's not comprised 100% assholes. Those other non-assholes need to know they are supported and appreciated - knowing that makes a huge difference to how likely they are to police themselves and lead by example.
I finally get it now. I feel like "public key" is a misnomer. It's really a "public safe". You put something in the public safe and then it's locked. Then only the person with the private key can unlock it.
There is no indication this website is a racial thing. It looks like the op is gathering any videos of police brutality.

>The researchers believe it is possible to exploit this knowledge of turbulence to create a much smaller protective bubble, and have confirmed this belief — first through computer simulations, and then in a laboratory experiment. The latter involved injecting a supersonic plasma into a 1.5 m long vacuum vessel lined with magnetic coils, with a target magnet placed at the far end of the vessel. Using both optical imaging and an electromagnetic probe, Bamford’s team showed that the target magnet deflected the plasma such that the volume of space surrounding the magnet was almost entirely free of plasma particles (Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 50 124025).

Bamford and colleagues say these results show that a spacecraft could in fact be protected using a bubble just some 100–200 m across. This, they say, would correspond to a magnet of about 1 Tesla, which would be light enough to be transported into space."
This is more of an aside, but since you've been coding for some time, please understand that concepts you already know need to be taught to those that do not. Concepts like a nested loop are often one of the hardest initial hurdles for many students. Your first CS courses will spend a lot of time on these types of concepts.

Please be patient and not become annoyed with how "slow" the class is going. Students that struggle with that first hurdle will continue to struggle as the class moves forward [1]. I would say, if you pick up or complete the homework without any issues to reach out to your peers and offer help. You don't need to share code, but something like a small whiteboard to explain concepts would be good.

As always, you have to ask, compared to what? Are the majority of police actions brutality, or only a miniscule fraction? This is the crucial question, and a site like this provides no insight at all. (or so I imagine, since site is down)

If you want to fan the flames, though, add a section for protesters savagely kicking unconscious victims in the head.
This wouldnt be possible in the US, the police don't have the authority to override federal legislation. The FCC has historically been extremely agressive and successful in prosecuting use of jamming devices. I think it's more likely that stingrays would be used to inventory who is at a protest etc and put people on a list for individual targeting.
In spite of having programmed for many years before starting my degree, there was a lot of academic challenge. There's a lot of theory that simply writing code does not teach you. There's a lot of course work that doesn't have to do with programming. Iteracting with people, project design, team management. If nothing else, it's 8-9 hours of work a week per class any way you look at.

Do the work, don't short-change yourself in your education.
Well, not by swimming with them.
If you frontrun a merger or a huge earnings miss, there's nearly a 0 percent chance you will lose money, and you can further leverage with options.
This is similar to when a large company has lots of divisios,where in one only nice people work,while in other they are all assholes. But the problem is that despite these differences, they all sit under the same hat.In this case, it's the police and one bad action resonates and makes it even more difficult for the good people to do the job.In recent events,it should have been other policemen going out and screaming "this is not normal,we don't work like that".

US Robotics Courier modem would be able to do 56Kbps I bet. I used it in Russia in the 90's on the shittiest landlines imaginable, it's the only one that _really_ did the job.
Well, for my project I did partner with someone to make the PCB, as I have about 0 electronics skills (maybe someday...). People like INL or Catskull are usually one-man operations, and they design their own PCB from scratch, so we are still in the "homebrew" spirit ;). But I get your feeling of wanting to build your own PCB on your own - I think you may find some schematics / documentation online to get you started if you want.

During the 80's-90's, AFAIK, Nintendo was the only company authorized to manufacture cartridges. So any publisher / developer would have to buy hardware from them. And you wouldn't be able to make a small lot, but you had to buy tens thousands or maybe hundreds thousands of units - this was a large scale business!

From what I've read, the process was indeed: build the final rom, have it pass a thorough QA session at Nintendo, pay for the cartridges and Nintendo will build them for you.

For the NES era, several companies did manage to make their own mappers. For example Konami designed a mapper to add extra audio channels in a NES cart. But, for some reasons, Nintendo didn't allow third party mappers in US and European releases. That's why only Japanese version of games like Castlevania III have such mappers "not made by Nintendo".

And of course, many unlicensed companies did create their own cartridges from the ground up, like Codemaster and Color Dreams/Wisdom Tree. They were not big companies at the time. So I think even middle sized ones could create their own cartridges and mappers if they had the skill inhouse!
Thanks, that's really interesting

> I also don't view the police force as one identity

I'm sorry, what? They are literally an organization. With uniforms. The entire point is that they're supposed to be one entity. If they can't even act as one entity - much less one that, I don't know, helps people - then why do they get to wear the uniform at all?

> When you talk to a mob, you aren't talking to anyone.

They don't have to talk. They can show through their actions that they're willing to de-escalate the violence. Here's one that did: https://twitter.com/SCr_conserv/status/1266885805328355333
Proportionate force is justifiable in an emergency, and we'll see if it is really "against the law" for police to demand that people get inside temporarily.

My guess? Absolutely NOTHING will happen to those police that paintballed the porch gawkers after very clearly telling them to go inside.

Having seen what happened in Baltimore in 2015 and now Philly, I am terrified of the idea of a city going up in flames when a riot gets out of control. It's been too close the times that I've seen it personally. Historically, it has been far worse.
Jetpens have pilot metropolitan at $20.
Imagine being asked by your boss to implement such a thing and actually doing it. How spineless and unethical would you have to be to even consider following such an order.
How does a reduction in police-initiated enforcement actions square with a rise in homicides? Homicide is, pretty much by definition, not a petty crime. Or is this that hoary old "broken windows" theory of policing that's taken such a well-deserved beating over the last couple of decades?

The article also, despite a clear editorial slant, can't quite avoid hinting at the kind of solution that actually does need to happen: not for police officers to simply abrogate the responsibility they accepted with their oaths when the public makes clear their conduct has been unacceptable, but for police officers to improve their conduct, and discharge the responsibility they took on, to actually protect and serve.

I grant that that lies outside the false dichotomy you choose to draw, between police doing nothing and police continuing in the massive abuse of power status quo ante. But, after all, it is a false dichotomy. You can do better.

I hope you can do better, anyway. For one thing, you promoted the deputy police commissioner, which I'm sure he appreciates, and spun the world clear around on its axis so he got mugged in the daytime, when he didn't, instead of at night, when he did. (cf. https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/20/us/baltimore-deputy-police-co...)

These are very strange errors of fact to go on making with, it seems like, every single claim you've introduced so far. Wherever you're getting your information from, you might consider finding sources that do a better job of sticking to facts, because whatever you've been using up to now seems not much good at anything beyond leading you into error.
I'm not saying I'm very confident of it, but it could be the US policy is significantly better even if by accident.

Look at it this way, people always hate to change jobs. Particularly in a time of disruption. But a time of crisis is exactly when people need to change what they are doing for the good of society. So maybe it is exactly the right thing to do, to provide a safety net for people out of work, rather than try to keep everyone doing what they were doing before.

Because you participate more in the value of the product you produce? What would you prefer, than the executive board should keep all that instead?
Since you asked, here’s my take. I agree with all the issues you have listed. Given the choices I have now, here’s what I do.

1. I pay for nytimes, Washington post, and star tribune. This costs me around $20/month I think. I’ve wasted more on unused Linode servers.

2. I skim the headlines of all of these. Tbh I rarely find something I want to click on on nytimes and Washington post, but I do on star tribune.
3. Then I listen to podcasts. I listen to Minnesota public radio, the economist daily briefing, the intelligence, wsj tech briefing, the journal, up first, and the daily. Even here I look at the description first and see what I want to listen to. The economist and wsj ones are the best, which means I’ll probably be changing who I give money to soon.

I listen to the podcasts that sound interesting while I’m on the treadmill.

I guess I feel like there are enough options that I’ve been able to find something I like, and I give money based on that. Nytimes is a bastion of liberals, and I’m a liberal, but I don’t find it the best for me. There’s definitely some initial investment required to figure out what works for you.

Um, seriously, all effective communication techniques are based on basically the same principles; there's a book by a former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss (Never Split the Difference) where he describes hostage negotiations with terrorists, and it all works in the workplace too. These two are significantly better than How to Win Friends and Influence Friends, which is mostly about sales rather than negotiations.
You're young and your brain is still rather plastic. So, learn everything. Textbooks for a CS curriculum is a great place to start. But also practical programming texts, the Unix classics, man pages galore, lots of math (esp discrete and linear algebra).
>Or simply have your tax agency send the cheques or direct deposit (like Canada), instead of going through banking middle-men:

I don't get it, isn't sending checks/direct deposits still going through "banking middlemen"? AFAIK the stimulus checks are direct deposited by the IRS/treasury, unemployment benefits are paid through checks/direct deposit as well.
I think the issue is that the video files are being hosted on the server so that greatly increases the load that's being consumed for each pageview.

If you host the videos on something like youtube or dailymotion and then embed them it will take the load off your server. Just keep the originals in case they get taken down so you can switch to a different service. Hope this helps! Feel free to PM me if you need assistance.

False. I was a physics/philosophy double and I haven't regretted it for a second. Physics was profound (although somewhat disappointing!) but philosophy is the home of ethics, and lots of writing, and the study of both of those will serve you in good stead.
This is great evidence for sending along to your local police chiefs and mayors. I've been harassing the shit out of my local leaders - look at this evidence. Those cities and towns had almost no rioting, no looting, no violence. All because the cops didn't turn up with spartan armor and kick the shit out of peaceful protesters.

It really is that easy.
> minor in something fun

I agree. I double majored in CS and Acting specifically because I enjoy both topics and wanted to get better. It does take some dancing around with your schedule, but if you take the time to create some different alternative schedules it can be done. There were some semesters where I was more CS heavy, and others more Theatre heavy. I was able to walk out with both degrees in 4.5 years.

> My understanding is cops kill way more often than they are killed.

Well, of course. That's expected isn't it? In an imaginary scenario where police act legitimately 100% of the time there are going to be situations where they have to use lethal force. In the same imagined scenario, there would be 0 legitimate police deaths.

If you're just going for some morbid score keeping, you would need to know illegitimate civilian deaths at the hands of the police vs illegitimate police deaths, as there are certainly scenarios where it could be justified to kill either. Directly comparing raw numbers doesn't say much.
Yes, but you have to prove that if one display considered to be "non critical" shows misleading data, it will not cause harm to the crew. For example, if the Chromium crashed and showed the heading or fuel level incorrectly, would they fly the rocket ship into the ocean or run out of fuel and drop out of the sky.

Yes, it's called software integrity decomposition, and it's complicated and requires much analysis.

Oh, so Trump's supreme court gets to decide this? Yeah, in suuuuuuper confident this will go well.
I down voted the other responder. Because Trump is using public key to encrypt the message. You can share your public key as much as you want and people will be able to send you messages that only you(owner of private key) can decrypt. There is no problem. That is normal use of public key to send encrypted messages to the owner of private key.

You can do it also the other way around, encrypt data with private key and only people who have your public key will be able to decrypt it. Which is a bit less useful but it can confirm your identity. So they can be sure that you sent the message.
