There is a trilogy of book scalled "The Nameless War" by Edmund Barrett ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074C8KG27?ref_=dbs_r_seri... ) which I highly recommend if you like "Expanse" style technology and combat.

Written by a naval historian and features no super-weapons or other deus ex machina. Just solid strategy and tactics of Naval Combat in Space. There are two accompanying "Janes Ships of the Fleet" style books which detail the ships in the story.

It is 4/4.5 on the Mohs scale of sci-fi hardness https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MohsScaleOfScien... (Jump drives, very limited FTL, and Plasma Cannons which are basically naval artillery in space)

Interestingly, not exactly COVID-19 related, people that lose their sense of taste return to eating normally, but people that lose a sense of feel in their mouth never seem to fully recover their appetite.

I mean, not to say I want to lose my sense of taste, just that losing feel in your mouth seems probably worse.
This is not accurate. No full recount was ever made. There was a widely publicized sample count commissioned by several media outlets, CNN, LA Times, New York Times, WSJ, etc... that was took of about 4% of the votes from select counties that then counted that Gore would have won by, literally, "60 to 171" votes - not a statistically significant result.

That depends. What is the relative risk of injury to my hypothetical children from this random "idiot" versus the cops? What is my risk from said "idiot" and the cops?

Keep in mind that these risks change dramatically if you replace me, a white male, with a black male. Black people literally have to teach their children how not to get killed by police. The only thing my parents ever told me about cops was to go find one if I was lost and couldn't find my way home.
Oh, I see, we're just doing Diffie-Hellman but with elliptic curves? Ok, that makes much more sense... it was confusing for the article to compare it with RSA instead of vanilla Diffie-Hellman.

Even putting that aside, I'm not sure how them changing from one rank scoring system to another on their own search engine is them playing "God" for the web. The whole goal of Search is to rank items per some metric of "quality", and speed seems as good and fair as any to me.
For sure this is going to happen. It's already happening with ridehailing in Europe. Small local players have minimal expenses, still stay afloat, and keep the international player in check.
I feel the need to point out that this is the president who spent eight years promising big-C Change, all while mostly just reinforcing and benefitting from the existing status-quo. I think it's that sunny, vaguely positive but cowardly and ineffectual brand of politics that set the stage for the wave of populist unrest we're seeing from both the left and the right right now. Politicians have been promising change without delivering on it for far too long, and voters are done. I would argue that politicians like Obama are the very reason people no longer believe democracy works.
I don’t see how it’s morally justified except with very narrow scope.

Riots for the most part affect people who had nothing material to do with whatever the complaint is. They’re virtually bystanders. It’s like the guy who has a legit complaint against his boss and decides “the whole office is gonna pay!”

How have things worsened since the MLK days? Of course there is injustice and lots we could do for fellow Americans to give people an equal opportunity at a decent life, but I can’t imagine opportunity has gotten worse?

Instead of rebuilding the Middle East or cruising through North Africa the previous decade, we could have ploughed that money into American citizens’ well-being and progress. We also have homelessness in addition to the above.

The way I've always viewed that quote is to realize that looting or rioting is "assholes and criminals", but the frustration coming out in a violent way. So it's less to justify the rioting but to show that it's source is from injustice.

I find these projects potentially dangerous and for people who have been arrested in a state where the case is dismissed but they cannot expunge because of the type of charge.

I was falsely arrested under the belief of arson. It happened when I was in my early 20s. The charges were dismissed and my expensive lawyer said it was the best deal to end it all. There wasn't even a fire and a cop that made the arrest had no reason to assume I was trying to start a fire. In any case, I still have to wait a few years to even expunge it.

Well, when going through university I was bullied & ostracized for a period of time and eventually found out someone had googled my name. They could see the arrest on some website and just the type of charge it was.
I use a Mac for (backend dev for Linux) work, a Linux desktop at home, and a Surface Go for carrying.

The Surface Go (8GB SSD, not eMMC) and WSL has been great. I'm surprised that I can do just about everything but a bit slower which I don't mind when I'm out--back when there we're places we could go. Even not in WSL, Android studio built and ran an app I was playing with. Used my phone hardware, simulator would have killed it.

I haven't switched to WSL 2 and I don't know it will be better for me. Probably trading memory for I/O speed so it might depend.

PubMed looks pretty much like an official publication of the NIH to me:

A different argument in favor of disarmed police is specifically relevant for the presence of an armed citizen (at least in very urban and central area where reinforcements can be minutes away, not half an hour)

You could say that disarmed police in regular patrols can be safer as it is less of a threat to a criminal. this would obviously not apply to known cases of dangers or cases were reinforcements are unlikely.

If you go back through the Wayback Machine’s archive of Tesla’s “autopilot” page it’s sickening how misleading their advertising of that feature used to be. They even worded it perfectly so they could weasel their way out of it when any average person would have a completely different interpretation.
Taste is highly related to smell, and smell is related to congestion symptoms that are typical for respiratory diseases.

Taste and smell loss happens with cold and flu as well, since they are also respiratory diseases: [1]

> The exact mechanism behind post-viral anosmia [smell/taste loss] isn’t yet understood, but it is clear that the various viruses that cause the common cold, including flu, somehow damage and interfere with the olfactory epithelium

Let's not get carried away with the Covid fear hysteria. This is just an example of a risk that already existed that was never on society's collective radar.

Moreover, it's only been a few weeks or months. It's entirely likely that the taste/smell loss is temporary.

> MLK keenly recognized that this course of action was not on the table for African Americans in the United States

MLK offered a non violent alternative to violence. He was a great leader, but he didn't succeed in a vacuum. He gave a peaceful political way to end the tension that, if ignored, would have continued to escalate in violence. Same with Gandhi. Not to imply that they were threatening this ultimatum or that they wanted violence on the side, but simply that that was the nature of the context.

The sobering lesson to learn is that continued oppression creates violent rage. We've convinced ourselves it is a disservice to non-violent resistance leaders to tolerate the uncontrolled expression of rage, and maybe it is, but it undermines the big picture pursuit of a more just world.

The rioters aren't justified, they're angry. Morality walks out the door when you're angry.

Protests become fertile ground for online disinformation
Better arrests and better prosecution may be helpful, not quick arrests.

For example, the bar owner that killed a protestor in Omaha, NE was arrested right after the incident. Tonight he has been released because the investigation determined the shooting was self-defense.

Omaha will burn brightly tonight.

Since the saturation of the smart phone market, Apple seems to have turned more toward squeezing their customers to maintain their profit margins rather than innovation.

That seems like a poor strategy overall. Personally, I predict radical innovation or decline (although the "decline" of something like Apple still leaves a formidable behemoth like IBM)
Like most commentary from the mainstream press, it assumes that there is strong evidence and reason to believe that police use deadly force in a racially biased way. But the percentage of black people killed by the police is actually lower than the percentage of violent crimes, homicides and police killings that are committed by black people. It's not clear why the the dominant narrative focuses on racial bias for which there is little strong evidence, rather than excess use of force in general.
It's always great seeing tons of HN commenters never really realising the potential completely valid reasons a VC would fund a business like this. It feels in part fueled by the media and general anti-VC thing that's going on.
I think part of your argument about learning from Khan Academy or 3blue1brown is highly predicated upon being in subjects that are widely known and studied, particularly introductory mathematics/physics/engineering. I personally cannot speak for physicists, but I imagine it is similar as follows.

One of the most valuable parts of a Engineering/Mathematics Degree (Both at the BS and the MS levels) is that of the upper division elective courses for specialization. At research universities, these classes often contain lots of information/techniques that can't be found in a textbook, let alone in a youtube video. At best, there might be a very cursory blog post, or a collection of research papers that you really aren't ready to explore on your own. Often, these classes result in final projects which can be expanded into research papers or portfolio projects with the professor teaching the class, both of which are valuable learning opportunities for the student and effective signaling mechanisms post-graduation.

These classes are where the real technical value of a college education is found.

In addition, there a quite a few classes which are offered if not required for such Engineering/Mathematics students which are pretty difficult to approach on your own and surmise in a short period of time. For examples, I point towards Analysis 1/2/Complex, PDEs, Dynamics, and Probabilistic Robotics.

I personally got a lot from my undergrad, I (and this may only apply to me) strictly would not have succeeded in learning all the topics I did if my only motivation was my personal learning in my free time, particularly in the short time horizon I did. The pressure cooker (cough engineering school) I went through was very formative, built a number of professional/personal connections, and taught me almost all the personal and professional skills I have.

This is just my 2 cents though.
This was the worst possible analogy you could have chosen to convey your idea
The unfortunate reality is that parking tickets are just a cost of doing business in any dense city. When you have appointments to keep you simply can't circle the block until a parking space opens up. But that means businesses have to charge customers enough to cover the ticket cost, and then actually pay the tickets rather than letting them accumulate.
How do you reconcile the fact that the US government is as big as it has ever been while at the same time we have made significant progress on racial issues? Further much of that progress was driven by government mandate: The Civil Rights acts, anti-discrimination laws for employment, affirmative action, etc.
Out of curiosity, how did you choose C++ to learn?

> human+autopilot actually performs worse than just humans in some conditions,

This is well studied in the aviation field, and an entire subfield of psychology to study this exists called "Human Factors".

There are many many fascinating results from studies in Human factors in aviation, but one that I can point out is that humans pay less and less attention as you present them with more and more reliable automation, to a point where automation can start to decrease safety, as humans get so complacent, relaxed, and distracted (my instructor called this "flying fat dumb and happy") that when they ARE called upon to take over and act suddenly, they simply are entirely unaware of the situation and need more time to get the hang of it than there is time before decisive action is needed.

What you're advocating for is essentially that the police are justified to inflict violence on anyone as long as they either give you an order or if there was a riot or protest somewhere within a five mile radius.

All of the clips have all of the context you need. Claiming that you're trying to not polarize the situation by making the most disingenuous take you can make is nonsense. Considering your prior posts on this matter, I have all the context I need.

Edit: Since I'm rate limited, let's try a test [1]. In this video, can you tell me what this man did to deserve being arrested? Specifically why it was only him that was arrested despite protesting peacefully and not a single looter or riot to be found.

As mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, RADAR had a hard time with stationary objects. They get lots of false positives from things on the side of the road, overhead signs etc.
> I mean, firstly, no. What you're describing is what we call "Textbook RSA" and that's a classroom exercise rather than a technology you should use in practice - it's unsafe.

? I'm not talking about encrypting data with RSA, but how else do you perform signing with RSA except by using the private key to transform some message that can then be verified with the public key?

I see now the article's trying to describe elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman, which makes much more sense (but makes the comparison to RSA in the article confusing...)
> How about we fire someone for this. There have to be consequences or the system doesn't work.

Why do you think people are protesting or rioting? There are a ton of people who feel like their desire to change "the system" is falling on deaf ears.

Elections and lawsuits are really the only meaningful power the average person has over those in power. Other than that, it's up to people in power to check others in power via "checks and balances".
It's presupposing a negligible effect of racial bias on arrest data. That's a very good reason to not use it in showing a negligible effect of racial bias on another scenario involving police. I'm struggling to think of a better example of a circular argument.
Actually I can't. It would just sound so strange to me talking about branches, trees, traversal, cache lines, threads, forking and killing processes and so in all the non-English languages that I speak or understand.

It would seem to my brain as if I talking about those actual things and not the abstract CS concepts i.e. saying "a tree" in would just make it seem we talking about actual green trees outside so I'd start laughing probably.
Then is it a revolution? What is the plan? The want to secede Minneapolis?

It is either a democratic protest, domestic terrorism, or a civil war. I hope with all my being that it is a democratic protest.
you can verify if Content Cache is working in a couple ways... first, while installing the update, you should see a CPU usage spike in Activity Monitor for the process "AssetCache".

secondly, you can run this command on the machine you want to upgrade, to verify that it can see your Content Caching Server (it should report the local IP address of the machine you set up Content Caching on) "AssetCacheLocatorUtil"
Are you internet-connected? I would normally use Google docs for this sort of thing. I think there's also an offline extension for Chrome.
Actually Hong Kong people is relatively ok In assets, if this is planned exit. The situation is it is not many HongKong people want to go, especially those in the fight. May be some need an exit, like the girl got rape in police station and ... The fight is about staying to have liberty here. For running we have at least 2m already emigrated before 1997. And I suspect we have another 2m got passport that can go. Not to mention 3m.

American role is to provide threat not to move any further. You may be tricked chinese is peaceful. The empire was never. It expands until it was contained or surrounding races all under it.

The conflict would not stop. It will at least cover Taiwan. Once that done, the pacific is in play. The whole region is in play. The claim to South China Sea would mean japan is in play as well.

You look at the ambitious of this empire from virus investigation, human gene modification, space race, ... it would be a welcome if it is humane and just different way of life. But it is not.

What American currently should be worried should be the 85,000 American here instead. If Hker got the killing like Tibet and jail/re-education etc., not sure how they will treat Americans. Like nazi, once they can (and police Abd fireman) call hker cockcoaches, there is no human they saw. It is like the old saying it is the Jews I do not care.

when the first explicit violating international treaty is ok with the international community all could be in play ...
How is it morally justified to destroy a business if the people behind it had nothing to do with the subject of the protest? Collective punishment, which you are endorsing here, has many times been the justification for genocide by the millions and untold lesser injustices. It is one of the most evil and virulent ideologies humanity has ever indulged in. Please reconsider.
Is there even any evidence to support the "black people are being hunted" narrative? Despite the loud and desperate cries, i have still yet to see any. And that's most likely because there isn't any.
Over time, he's right in principle. But maybe, there just hasn't been enough time yet for it to play out. if we're seeing price declines, then it's already playing out.
It’s not always about flexing our rights when it comes at the expense of others. Sometimes it’s about treating others the way you would like to be treated. Even if you’re under no obligation to treat them kindly. Even if you’re entitled not to treat them kindly.

Surely there is a way to achieve the stated goal of the project without the collateral damage of exposing information that individuals might, for whatever reason, prefer not be published online.
