Yeah, it drives me insane, once someone used my email to sign-up on eBay and started buying sex toys. Can't believe eBay didn't do email verification. I was at work and started getting emails like congratulations, your dildo is on its way, with pictures.
Indeed I have. I just don't want to party like it's 1976.
If union rules delay the arrest of an accused officer for any amount of time longer than a civilian charged with the same offense and same facts, it seems reasonable that that union rule should be abolished.

I suspect it's not actually the case and there was some amount of calculation of the ex-officer's risk of flight, the likelihood that he would further offend, and the need to get some forensics, autopsy, and preliminary tox screen results.

In other words, if a civilian under the same set of facts would have also been arrested 4 days later, I'm fine with it. One criminal standard for everyone. Union rules don't have any place superseding criminal laws (and I haven't seen anyone presenting credible evidence that they do).

I think the author made it very clear what they were aiming for, so I fail to see the issue in providing multiple, actionable pieces of feedback that I had when reading it on how they could meet their goal better and consider for next time. Unless your specific complaint is that I didn't include anything specifically positive, to which I can only point to the many other comments that said they enjoyed Aphyr's style and were glad that there was more work being done to emulate it which I didn't care to rehash in my response.

Personally, if someone consumed something I worked on, actively felt that there was something they felt could be improved, and didn't mention it to me, I would have felt as if they had done me a great disservice. I don't have to agree or even take their input into account, but I would very much like it to exist.
Watching live streams from the protest informed me a lot about who these protesters are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eZaOGehK6k . What surprised me is that they were mostly pretty young. They also looted a liquor store across from the police station and you can notice how everyone seemed to get drunker and drunker as the night went on. I think they are venting a lot of built-up frustration and honestly have a pretty good time doing it.
There was more than enough probable cause for arrest, and after the perp has been arrested, prosecution has 72 hours to build a case and press charges. This is just more of the usual, also because the career of the prosecutor depends on the goodwill of the cops.

Right -- I think it's wrong to pick and choose who should be punished for terrorizing communities, and some only believe the police should.

This is not a question of 'valuing human life'. It's about appropriate responses to violence. It's a basic principle of justice that those who commit violence no longer deserve to have their full set of rights respected in the eyes of the law or society. This is how we justify all sorts of things, from basic fines, to jail terms, to full-scale war.

To be clear... I also think no one else should be shot and killed, which is why no one should be lotting or setting things on fire.

Yes Carter had a larger margin in some souther states, he was also a souther politician. But this is not what I said. Close GOP victories relied on the south. These are the close elections after this period:

Different side of the coin. They often spread lies to persuade people to vote for them. Almost everyone in politics is full of it.

If you believe your side is the good one and the other is bad, it's probably because it's part of your identity. And that prevents you from thinking about it honestly and results in more polarization. Once you accept they're all full of it, you will think more clearly. And you'll have better dialogue with opposing viewpoints.

I would have expected that for a 2-drive system, a RAID rebuild would only be writing to the replacement drive. What data would be written to the old one?

Under that assumption, my strategy is to isolate these drives in their own 2-drive RAID volume until they fail.
My question is: Why is only k8s so popular when there are better alternatives for a large swath of users? I believe the answer is "Manufactured Hype". k8s is from a purely architectural standpoint the way to go, even for smaller setups, but the concrete project is still complex enough that it requires dozens of different setup tools and will keep hordes of consultants as well as many hosted solutions from Google/AWS/etc in business for some time to come, so there's a vested interest in continuing to push it. Everyone wins, users get a solid tool (even if it's not the best for the job) and cloud providers retain their unique selling point over people setting up their own servers.

I still believe 90% of users would be better served by Nomad. And if someone says "developers want to use the most widely used tech", then I'm here to call bullshit, because the concepts between workload schedulers and orchestrators like k8s and nomad are easy enough to carry over from one side to the other. Learning either even if you end up using the other one is not a waste of time. Heck, I started out using CoreOS with fleetctl and even that taught me many valuable lessons.
What I'm getting at though is that it's a distributed problem and that I frankly don't care if everyone gets it right.

Shut off the money first. Some of the universities will make their cuts in academic and research departments. That's fine. I don't expect we'll hear too much from them after a while. Good riddance.

For any system, one can always construct scenarios where resources are allocated sub-optimally or unfairly.

We don't have to like capitalism, sometimes even its proponents refer to it "the worst system except for all the others."

But usually the alternative to capitalism isn't perfection, it's something worse. Like a political boss who abuses his power to seize the goods and hand them out as political favors.

The big mistake with COVID-19 was telling individuals to boycott masks and that it was wrong to buy or wear them. We could have opened whole new factories for producing them by now, if only demand had been encouraged rather than suppressed.
One thing that I think would hugely shift godot's market share is a standardized asset format, similar to what Unity and Unreal have, so asset developers could offer assets in Godot-compatible format. It would be even more amazing if there was an easy way to import Unity resources. Maybe I just needed to do more research, but last time I tried, I had to pull out individual files, mess around with them in Blender, then import the model and the mesh into Godot separately, where I needed to arrange them together afterward. I think if the asset management was as simple as Unity's, Godot would be a no-brainer in many projects, especially smaller ones.
Defining an 'order of magnitude' as 1024 seems a little odd to me. I would consider this to be closer to 3 orders of magnitued.

You made a much broader point than what you've retreated to:

> Current party lines blur to to the point of falling apart in the context of the 1964 Act, because it was a huge precipitating event for politicians switching parties (particularly Southern Democrats becoming Republicans). You can't directly map "Rs voted for the Act" onto party membership today: there was a very different mix of platforms at that time, only loosely comparable to what we have now.

In the 1950s and 1960s, as today, Democrats were the party of social welfare, regulation, big government, higher taxes, etc. And republicans were the party of big business, tax cuts, religion in schools, etc. Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the Bronx haven't voted for a Republican since the 1920s.

Apart from that, the way you phrased it makes it seem like southern democrats defected to the Republican Party because the democrats supported the 1964 civil rights act. That misleadingly implies that republicans didn't support the 1964 civil rights act (even more strongly)--otherwise, why would southern democrats defect to the Republican Party? Standing alone, it's an assertion that makes no sense, and it subtly tars Republicans as somehow having opposed civil rights.

What happened instead is that the issue changed. "Civil rights" in 1964 meant eliminating discrimination at lunch counters and on busses. That victory was won decisively. By the 1980s and early 1990s, the front had moved to things like affirmative action and racal quotas: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1991/01/15/q.... That triggered a realignment, based on pre-existing ideological lanes. The same republicans who supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964 could, entirely consistent with their ideology, oppose affirmative efforts to eliminate racial disparities.

I'm not sure why they are trying to tie an experimental engine test so tightly with the crew launch. I know the two events are temporally close to each other but seems a bit alarmist to start the article attempting to connect the two. They do continue to say they are unrelated but why even bother bringing up the crew launch at all?

I'm sort of surprised they went ahead with the Starship test, assuming they knew it had a likelihood of failure, given the temporal proximity to demo-2 and the inevitable bad press if the Starship test ended in an explosion.

Now that's your problem right there. _Don't_ use Gmail. You're not just giving up your own privacy, you're hurting the privacy of everyone who corresponds with you. There are plenty of non-US free email providers, and many/most of them are at the very least much better than Google in this respect.

Ya way fewer.

The scene file is actually _readable_!!!!

The node and resource systems are vastly more accessible than Unity IMO.

Workflow feels so much better in Godot than Unity.

Godot's problems are in it's 3D renderer. It's not very performant nor good looking and has some shadow bugs...

Godot 4.0 should fix all that stuff.

The renderer is fine for my indie/low poly style, but is pretty limiting for advanced post processing and realistic designs.

The particle system isnt very good in godot 3.x so far either.

Godot has some a noticable lag spike when shaders compile as well.

So, there's lots of issues related to rendering and advanced stuff, but for my purposes, godot is way more productive than Unity for me. And thats because:

- the scene hierarchy has a superior design

- the keyboard hotkeys are better

- compilation time is non existant

- hot reloading works

- gdscript is faster to write than C#

- scene & resource files are more git friendly

- documentation is local and in-editor

- gdscript has opinionated & accessible apis for things that other languages make hard (string manipulation, encryption, file system access)

Godot is the future. I promise you this.
It helps going from the bottom up, IMO. It's a multi-agent blackboard system with elements of control theory, which is a mouthful, but it essentially builds from smaller blocks up.

Also, after OpenStack, the bar for "consulting-driven software" is far from reached :)
I think this will boil down to:

a) What did the college promise?

b) Did the college deliver it?

Since there's unlikely a formal contract involved, they'll have to make a case with the public marketing and value prop which includes peers, access to professors, dorm life, state of the art labs, extracurriculars, a beautiful campus, alumni network, job fairs, etc.

Most of these colleges have spent years devaluing the content itself by putting it online for free and now that's one of the few things they're still offering.. for the small price of $X0,000/year.

Looks like total cost of attendance is much higher than $9k/year: https://admissions.unc.edu/afford/cost-of-attendance/
Even if you only paid tuition, you'd still have housing expenses, since most students don't live at home for a school like UNC. So overall I think it's disingenuous to say it's only $9k/year.
For certain things like layer 4 and layer 7 routing or firewall policies, health checking and failover, network-attached volumes, etc you have to choose software and configure it on top of getting that configuration in that tooling. So you are doing kernel or iptables or nginx or monit/supervisord configurations and so on.

But basic versions of these things are provided by Kubernetes natively and can be declared in a way that is divorced from configuring the underlying software. So you just learn how to configure these broader concepts as services or ingresses or network policies, etc, and don't worry about the underlying implementations. It's pretty nice actually.

I'd argue the situation has gotten significantly worse since '92.

Post-9/11, especially in the early to mid '00s, there was this fetishization of the military and military aesthetic in American culture that had changed the public's appetite towards militarized police.

It is important to consider that a significant portion of the public thinks "the troops" aren't going far enough to end the protests in Minneapolis.

Privacy policy, yea. I gotta get one of those up. Incredibly important things like that and terms of use should be sorted right away. This is one of the things I forget about in my personal projects (like FormKing) that I really should stop forgetting :)

As for monetization, that's not my goal. One thing I don't think I communicated well is that this isn't a business. It's a personal project that I intend to open source shortly. The cost for the service (hosting, domains, etc) is super low so for right now I'm not looking to monetize.

Form King was literally just something I built for use with my websites that I had a lot of fun working on. So I made it public

I think this part is interesting:

> Most of these ideas aren't new, but in decades past you might have heard about them from a conspiracy-therorist neighbor, a low profile website, or an alternative magazine with little reputation of its own.

> Now, these ideas are spread on the exact same platforms as objectively truthful / scientifically sound media. Your Youtube conspiracy theory channel is right next to the BBC's videos. Your viral Facebook post could be from the New York Times, or it might be from a propaganda organization - or worse, an account that looks like a normal person but which was specifically created to spread misinformation that seems plausibly truthful.

My intuition tells me that knowledge of conspiracy theories is now mostly (in terms of awareness) spread through mainstream media articles asserting that "conspiracy theorists believe <x>". Now I don't spend all that much time in that corner of the internet, but I spend enough time in /r/conspiracy that I have a half decent feel for what the general consensus is on the topics covered in the media, and the way the media describes the "beliefs" of "conspiracy theorists" is incredibly untrue, at least as far as /r/conspiracy goes.

Think about it: do you think all the reporters that write on such topics, and in turn all the people in forums like Reddit and HN, actually know what they're talking about? Or might it be more likely that heuristics in their subconscious mind are feeding information up to the subconscious, that was not once fact-checked?

Pay attention when reading the news or forum comments, observe for yourself how many people speak as if they know things that are literally unknowable, such as events in the future, or the contents of another person's mind. Go through each comment in this very thread and see how many you can count.

There is something very interesting going on, at scale.
Exactly this. It's a self-fulfilling law, and unfortunately, the plebs suffer. Only for the government "saviors" to swoop in to save the day whilst at the same time blaming "capitalism" because it failed to stockpile enough demand without any way to recoup the costs.
