Do note the reverse though. Don’t let everyone who labels violence as unequivocally wrong trick you into thinking that all riots are due to bad people. You’re right in that MLK Jr’s point wasn’t to promote riots. However, if you automatically label all riots as being bad, you’ve also missed the deeper point MLK Jr was trying to make:

listen to your fellow humans

When you see news about a riot, your first instinct should be to ask why? What are they rioting about? What was being said that led to this situation? Were people listening? How did they respond?

Not make a judgement of them.

This is where media has great power in controlling the narrative. If they don’t report on what happened prior to the riots (ex: peaceful protests, calls to representatives for action, etc), then it becomes very hard to see rioters as human beings with a voice.

Edit: note that I’m not making a judgement on OP. I writing this because I often see this reaction to riots and people often take away the wrong message both ways.

This just is not any way to run an incentive system. Prosecutors don't have a lever with which to manipulate future crime rates. Drug use, domestic violence, murders [1], etcetera, isn't going to stop happening.

In fact, the most effective way for prosecutors to improve their crime rate would be to persecute the high-crime racial demographics until they move out of town.

On a purely emotional level, people are not happy about the layoffs (among other things going on in the tech industry) and this validates conceptions of this tech bubble being built on creative accounting, revealing hyper-growth hype to be nothing but lies. There is schadenfreude in calling out the emperor for having no clothes.
Someone did a study on this in SF. You can probably google it.

As you mention, a significant percentage of tenants with rent control would be regarded as "high income" households.

Hell, I know a guy who has a rent control units for a couple decades. He can pay his monthly rent with one day's take-home pay.
I'm out on a tangent, but that is too broad a statement.

There exist constant taxes over non-liquid assets. I am pretty sure we'll people that have been bankrupt over then if we look. They just aren't a problem for people with money (top of middle class or above).
That does not make them different then any other online games. Trying to be addictive is current trend no matter what monetization model.

I believe it is? If a starbucks employee treats you poorly while on the job as a starbucks employee, then starbucks is liable because their employees are their agents. The difference is that the government, unlike starbucks, enjoys sovereign immunity -- they can't necessarily be sued and held liable. There's probably more to it. I'm not a lawyer.
I'm not sure remote work will drive much of that. Most families were already moving out of the cities into the suburbs. And young people want to be in the city for the social aspects and cultural aspects, and proximity to others.

I think what we might see is an increase in demand for bigger units in the city as a young single person may want a two bedroom place, one for their home office and one for sleeping, but still want to be in the city to be near all the cultural and social amenities.

And we'll also see increased demand for even bigger suburban homes as each spouse needs their own home office.

So I think we'll see increased demand for larger homes in both the city and the suburbs.

IMO, you can't really blame a minority shareholder for what a business does. By definition, a minority shareholder does not have the power to force a business to do anything; Icahn works primarily by influence.

If the corporate leadership is weak, incompetent, scared, or any other pejorative you want to dredge up, then Icahn might convince them to make some bad decisions that benefit him.

Apple is an example of a company that Icahn when into full speed, and didn't really change that much. In the end, Icahn sold his Apple stock for a gain, but Apple leadership obviously made their own good decisions despite him. In fact he would have made a lot more money on Apple if he had held his stock for longer.

But "buy and hold" is not how he has fun, and that's what all this stuff is about. Carl Icahn does not need any more money. He likes doing what he does for the same reason Lebron James still likes playing basketball.

(c) The use of force to resist an arrest or search is justified:
(1) if, before the actor offers any resistance, the
peace officer (or person acting at his direction) uses
or attempts to use greater force than necessary to make
the arrest or search; and
(2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes
the force is immediately necessary to protect himself

Zeroconf is fantastic for discovering services, but hardly anyone supports it. Apple removed it from Safari, 3 years ago [1]. It's been an open feature request in Chromium for 11 years [2], and in Firefox for 18 years [3].

The only major database I know which supports it is Postgres (it's disabled by default) [4]. On MySQL, it's an open work item, untouched for 13 years [5].

Last I checked, no major web framework broadcasts its service using Zeroconf.

Zeroconf service broadcast is so easy to implement (really) and such a tremendous help to users that I don't understand why developers aren't falling over themselves to implement it.

GOOG & APPL market capital is basically 1000x larger.

Activist investor shows up with $100M fund that they can throw behind Yelp giving them ~10% of the company, they'll have a major say and in some other public companies they might hold the largest share stake depending on the shareholder splits.

The same investor could show up with $100M on a $1T company, have 0.01% and nobody even knows who they are and they can't really push the company to do anything.

There are not that many funds that can take major voicing stakes in GOOG or APPL because of the capital it would require.
It depends! Sometimes I have to lock a dependency at minor releases because every.single.release from the author breaks something new, and I've already worked around the locked version's failings. Sometimes I have to lock a dependency at a major version and everything is fine after that. Usually when the latter happens, eventually the developer releases something that fits within the version bounds and breaks. Sometimes they fix it in the next release, but then I have to deal with a week of bug reports from users that "I couldn't pip install the latest release!". A big complaint I'll with flask/werkzeug app is that something or other broke because they installed something else with strict version requirements alongside it (because the authors of that program have experienced the same bullshit, I assume).

Maybe I'm spoiled from working with cargo and npm (I have almost no ruby experience so I can't comment there), but both of them have way fewer such version conflicts in my experience. Obviously there are tradeoffs and I don't want the node_modules experience for my users, but often it seems that would be a much better experience than pip for everyone. With either of those, I just "npm install" or "cargo install" and all my dependencies end up there working.

You can generate a requirements.txt file using "pip freeze" on a functioning system, but then you have to figure out a way to point users at it instead of using "pip install myapp". Also you might have to do it for each OS since windows vs mac vs linux can have different package dependencies specified, and even if you don't do that, a dependency doing it means you have to account for it.

You can copy+paste the "pip freeze" output into your setup.py and add quotes+commas, but then you're back to breaking side-by-side packages.

So what am I, a developer trying to distribute my command-line application to less-technical users, supposed to do? Distribute two entirely different packages, "myapp-locked" and "myapp"? Tell people to install from a copy+pasted "requirements.txt" file? I've started distributing docker containers that have the application installed via the requirements.txt method, which is fucking stupid but at least the users of that complain less about versioning issues... until the day someone yanks a package I guess.

On the contrary, thanks for having included Docker in that list. It's the obvious answer to so many problems (developing, running and deploying apps, replicating deterministic Python environments, not installing linux dependencies required by Python packages directly on your machine, and so on).

BTW, to comment one of the point you made in the article, it's not that hard to run CUDA inside a container. It's less straightforward but quite well documented. You basically need nvidia-docker [1] on the host and start your containers with the runtime 'nvidia'. docker-compose still doesn't support it officially but there are workarounds. [2] I'm running it on ~50 instances in production and automated all the setup with ansible successfully.

I care very little about alleged dog whistles these days. You can only cry wolf so many times and all that.

> So it doesn't even matter if the statistics show the police kill extra in proportion to the neighborhoods the patrol and that in turn is proportional to the crime rate, because you haven't Baysianed deep enough to find the cycle.

Maybe you're right, but the conversation as far as I'm aware is still very much fixated on the former question. We are locked on this question and we can't meaningfully "baysian" our way to deeper questions without more authoritative data. If one actually cared about solving the problem, he ought to support this sort of data collection initiative.

I don't know if my situation fits yours. I'm a crazy person.

My wiki (https://philosopher.life) started out as a non-linear letter. That seed grew into a vine and then a garden. I write every day, even when I don't want to. I talk to myself and those who matter to me (even those I've not yet met or never will). I write because the stories we tell and retell ourselves and others are objectively valuable. I consider it my moral obligation and vocation to read, think, and write.
Clarification. VCs invest in startups, not "modern large companies". (Getting a modern large company would be the hoped for outcome, not starting place.)

While it is true that the people working there generally move on after a few years, it is also true that founders and early employees dedicate their lives to the startup.
The entire Alien movie is basically an extended (and, ahem, perhaps slightly darker?) remake of the Pinback vs the beach ball creature scene. My favorite piece of movie trivia. I wonder if anyone stumbled into the theatrical release of Alien knowing about that connection?

Regarding "used space", I'd say that the trend was already present in Silent Running (1972) which happens to link both the clinically clean 2001 and dirty Star Wars in terms of FX crew.
You know how pathlib does for paths and files? Python needs something like that for distribution/versions/import hacking, eh?

> s there ever an instance of power being taken away from armed groups like police or military, in any country?

I struggle to understand this. Isn't this what an election does? One administration controls the military, then another one does. So... the US, every 4 years?

I feel like this comment romanticize "power" in a common (yet, to me, very odd) way. We take power away from police officers all the time: "desk duty". As a group, we give power to the national guard ("mobilize") and take it away ("demobilize") all the time. I understand that police have a lot of political will behind them, but why is this problem all of a sudden a fundamental dynamic of power rather than a policy choice we as society continue to make?
Awesome. Definitely room here now that DarkSky has vacated the premises.
> These aren't feelings. This is about feedback loops.

Then you aren't the group I was referencing. :) Your feedback loop theory seems plausible. Hard to say conclusively without more data, which is my point.
Because the district attorney would have to bring those charges, and he doesn't want to, because it's his homies.
> Pipenv or poetry?

If you used pipenv for a complex project with huge dependency tree, or used it for a long time, you definitely run into a blocker issue with it. That is the worst package manager of all, and probably the reason why Python has such a bad reputation in this area. It's because it's fundamentals are terrible.

Just go with Poetry. It's very stable, easy to use, has a superior dependency resolver and way faster than Pipenv.
There will always be a massive difference between physical copies and digital ones.

Of course, authors miss out on any royalties in either case, but the speed at which their income stream can dry up is oodles faster when there's a digital copy available.

Digital can be copied, replicated and redistributed very easily, but physical books require man handling to achieve the same goal.
Amazon was plowing money into physical assets like huge fulfillment centers (132 of them) and automated systems for them. Uber barely owns anything; they were just buying market share.
> Hell, I know a guy who has a rent control units for a couple decades. He can pay his monthly rent with one day's take-home pay.

It sounds outrageous, but I know someone like that too. Got a rent controlled box in Berkeley as a student, never left. Rent is only about $700 a month now. If you make $180,000 a year, that's a single day's pay.
I'll bet if you could wake up a politician from the ancient world and tell him that the "information age" allows an army to solicit money on its own and use that money to act contrary to the ruling class, such a politician would laugh and say no such civilization could possibly survive.
Docker is definitely an interesting tool for that, but my biggest problems is that I have to teach them Docker, which is a totally new layer of abstraction they haven't seen before.

How do you approach this? How technical are people you prepare Docker images for?
I don't think that explanation is accurate, see https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca9/17...:

> Following the search, the City Officers gave Appellants an inventory sheet stating that they seized approximately $50,000 from Appellants’ properties. Appellants alleged, however, that the officers actually seized $151,380 in cash and another $125,000 in rare coins.

If the receipt was fraudulent, as is alleged here, I don't see how the seizure could be legal.
I came from a java background. Company I started at used an old templating approach using freemarker, and you could say it just stuck with me. I'm not 100% opposed to JSX, and I think it has its uses, but I prefer to keep the rendering layer separate from the functional code behind the component. I'll grant that a lot of frameworks like Angular.js and Vue tend to blur those lines a little bit with their approach due to directives, but in the end, it is still html, at least, and I like that kind of simplicity.
You can't do this here, regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are. You may not owe the object of your dislike better, but you owe this community much better if you're participating in it. Please review the site guidelines and don't post like this to HN again.

Rent control in NYC also enormously important for elderly population, which has been systematically exploited by owners for centuries.

It is absolutely not in owner interests. But cities by and large have been built in accordance with owner interests.
There was more than one murderer. There were 4 murderers. The police chief said as such, which is unprecedented for a police chief to say.
Your “facts” are actually feelings or conjectures, and are demonstrably untrue. Black communities in fact want police (and the criminal justice system) to address high crime rates.

This article collects a number of statistics: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2014/12/black-community-...

> Finally, Atlantic Media’s “State of the City” poll—published this past summer—shows an “urban minority” class that’s worried about crime, and skeptical toward law enforcement, but eager for a greater police presence if it means less crime. Just 22 percent of respondents say they feel “very safe” walking in their neighborhoods after dark, and only 35 percent say they have “a lot” of confidence in their local police. That said, 60 percent say hiring more police would have a “major impact” on improving safety in their neighborhoods.

In fact, even today, a slight majority of African Americans say that the criminal justice system in their area is “not harsh enough” on criminals: https://gssdataexplorer.norc.org/documents/899/download (Table 2). At the height of the crime wave of the 1980s and 1990s, over 70% of black Americans felt we needed harsher punishment of criminals. Half of African Americans today say we are spending “too little” on law enforcement.

Hispanics are even more strongly in favor of policing. 53% of Hispanic people supported NYC’s controversial (and unconstitutional) stop-and-frisk policy: https://www.blackenterprise.com/nypd-stop-and-frisk-poll-rac....

Notions of “defunding the police” are an idea dreamed up by people who don’t actually live in these disadvantaged communities. Poll after poll shows that is not what disadvantaged communities actually want. They want the law to be enforced; they can’t criminals brought to justice; and they want all that done with due process protections, just like police manage to do for white neighborhoods.
They are bad at dealing with customers mostly because they can afford to. What is losing one customer when they have 100,000...
