Though I agree the discussion might turn into flame war. I think this too much of an important flame war to just remove or deprioritise from the homepage ... Just my two cents.

Technology has been extremely relevant in this whole ordeal. The fact that we can now create and share videos online that document these human right violations en masse is a thing that technology has allowed us to do.

OTOH We as the 'tech world' play a huge role in both how the narrative of "the media is the enemy" came to fruition and how people are radicalised online to actually believe this.

It is extremely important to recognise what tech's place is in all this
Nothing here shows intent to apprehend specifically journalists.

Wikipedia shows >5,000 arrests overall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests. Which I bet means journalists were arrested way less, than an average protesting folk.
That's one causal path, but I don't think it's the only one.

Crises can also lead to pressure on politicians, who pass laws that have an impact even after the crisis is over, sometimes even good ones. The PATRIOT Act isn't the only bill quickly passed out of fear.

Consider the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which ended redlining, and made it through partly out of fear of further rioting after MLK's assassination. That's a big deal, even if no politicians were voted out.

These discussions are incredibly important - I'd be disappointed if dang removes them.
Some people say police attacking journalists are isolated incidents by a few bad eggs, most of them are doing the right thing.

Some people say protestors becoming violent, vandalizing, and looting are isolated incidents by a few bad eggs, most of them are doing the right thing.

Really similar thought processes go into those two, usually by people you can sort into camps of opposing worldviews. They're both right and both wrong, but it's surprising how similar the lines of thought are and how people can't see the other side is thinking just the same way.

>> Also who gives a shit if they just got verbally harassed for an hour.

This statement is emblematic of the fundamental problem affecting our culture.

I hate excessive violence. I hate excessive force. I can’t take anyone seriously if they argue that bad behavior doesn’t matter. Your 8 hour day in retail or at the office is not the same as working law enforcement during a riot.

It is entitlement or stupidity.

This is in line with my experience. I've worked with cybersecurity in the past and the "attackers" used to be huge black hat companies that had much more money and power than all white hat companies combined. We joked that only the bad guys went to work using suits, since they are very powerful and well organized :)

For what it's worth, Tor has been my default browser for the past 5 years to 'surf' the net and the experience is incomparable from 3 years ago to today, so much improvement specially on news sites with the 'Toggle reader view' or Reddit, Twitter, etc.

In some ways rule reveals/progression is a defining feature of the "Legacy" style of board games. Generally the focus on such games isn't about rule reveals/progression, because the core idea of Legacy as a style is about board games with permanent changes that last through a story campaign of some sort, but rule reveals/progressions/rule tweaks are key storytelling tools in that style.

Some of the games are notorious for having half-empty rule books that you will eventually fill with stickers for more rules.

One particular well regarded Legacy game for it's slow, careful reveal of rules is Seafall (which is noteworthy for being the first non-licensed Legacy game by the Legacy genre's "father" who built the original Risk Legacy and has contributed to many others like Pandemic Legacy). I've got it on my shelf and have been hoping to find the right group to play it with, so I've mostly tried to avoid spoilers, but the way it was described to me is that it is a full 4X (strategy gaming acronym from videogames for Explore, Expand, Exploit, and Exterminate) that starts with only the rules for Explore and expands out from there. (And it is proper exploration with players encouraged to sharpie their discoveries to the board.)
That's because the purpose of SSL encryption changed. It used to be primarily to protect payment information and sometimes also used for logins, but it was considered too heavy for all traffic in the past. Now it's used primarily to ensure all traffic is secure, and payment is along for the ride.

In the past you used to be fairly sure a company was somewhat legitimate and responsible if they has an SSL cert and could supply card information to them without too much worry, as someone had vetted them as a real company (to some degree). These days, that doesn't happen, and whether I'm willing to give a company my credit card has nothing to do with if they are secured with a cert (which is a bare minimum to use the site). That cert doesn't really imply much anymore though. These days, I'll only enter my card into large reputable sites, or if they are using a payment service I trust (PayPal, Amazon, Square, etc), as they've presumably done a lot of the vetting that the SSL companies traditionally did.
It was all sarcasm.
I would like to believe that people have more personal agency than that, and that in fact, calling someone or their actions white supremacist does not make them such and instead causes them to reflect on what caused the accusation.

If merely calling someone or their actions white supremacist makes them suddenly start self-identifying as a white supremacist and they don't see a problem with that, maybe the original accusation wasn't that wrong?
I think it has to be kept around as record and for accountability. Twitter however shouldn't feed it into timelines.
There is literally zero historical evidence of this. Police forces have been attracting white supremacists for decades: http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/402521/doc-26-white-su...

If your solution is to ban lotto tickets, that would likely be effective at achieving your goal. It likely would not solve the underlying issues around poor decision making though.

That may be a great philosophical argument, but in the eyes of the law (which is what we're discussing here), IA was giving away someone else's property, so it really can't be considered a charitable act.

Even setting aside the law, there is a question of ethics. If I give you a license key to my software, and you give it away to 10 of your friends, would you consider your act charitable?
Objective data? Video? Even an account from journalists?
Mark Zuckerberg knows that Trump will probably be re-elected in spite of everything; it would be quite unwise for the CEO of any large public corporation to make an enemy of the most vindictive American president in recent history. His shareholders won’t appreciate the results of that.
>> However, the theory itself is completely reasonable and sound.

Isn't it the same with most conspiracy theories?(plain bullshit excluded) Just on History Channel you can see a lot of such cases about Hitler still being alive somewhere in Argentine, Ancient Aliens etc. Anyone can find compelling reasons to support anything but if you want to be objective you need to analyse the evidence. What evidence does Trump have that the virus was developed in a lab in China? Even with reasonable evidence I don't know who would believe him anyway.
It actually is. While the police have often attacked journalists I don't know that it has ever been so blatant, so well documented, and done so broadly across all journalists, even from the larger news networks that often have the clout and means to avoid such abuse.
Yeah, not sure why that would be pertinent.

My assumption is that the political affiliation of police officers will largely match the ratio of the area.

Majority blue areas will see more Democrat police, majority red (rural) will see more Republican sheriffs.

This is born out by the data I was able to find, but I can't vouch for the veracity:
http://verdantlabs.com/politics_of_professions/

Sheriffs and State Troopers are very majority Republican, police are barely majority Democrat.

I suspect that if we had individual data per region, the affiliation would track with the local politics, maybe with +2 R across the board, or something like that.

I think there's an argument to be made that sandboxing shouldn't exempt you from security restrictions. Unless the sandbox is entirely impossible to penetrate (making apps borderline useless), a malicious app still has many opportunities to trick the user or exploit security vulnerabilities. Revocable signing certificates are a useful tool for fighting back against hostile actors.

The certs should be much cheaper, though, and it would make sense for sandboxed applications to perhaps be easier to sign.
But from the view of the pro-life CEO, abortion is violence against an innocent baby, thus any pro-choice post was advocating violence.
> I wonder when 3d Modeling will be primarily done with a headset. Like, would it be useful to do the initial modelling in Maya itself?

I think the desired goal would help dictate if you use VR. For example, for the Lion King remake the world was entirely cg. To do the rough and final layouts of the environment multiple people (director/art director/modelers/set dressers/dp) all went into vr (sometimes together) and used tools in UE to place/scale/rotate objects. This made a lot of sense b/c they could more accurately place and model the environment within it.

It could be quite useful when modeling but I wonder at what point make sense. I've done a fair bit of modeling which involves a lot of manipulation of points and faces and also involves lots of object tumbling, which might prove tiring in vr. But I think it ultimately makes sense b/c it allows for a 3dimensional view of what you're doing.

It does, because it means the damages (lost potential sales) are low/nonexistent.
VR hand tracking will be better as an input method when the user has little or no expectation of physical resistance. Imagine being in a wizard game where you have hundreds of spells memorized - water spells, fire, electricity, teleportation, telekinetic manipulation, etc.... all of which are activated by esoteric hand gestures. Make it an RPG with UE5-demo level graphics and it will be one of the most mind-blowing games ever.

I completely agree with the theory here, however he is, and has been, treating personal accounts as "official" accounts for a while.

Anything posted through those means should be maintained as a historical record.

I agree with how Twitter handled it; they made it clear that it was in violation, hid it by default, however kept it.

In my mind, I need to consider a situation as if the president tweets out something that _clearly_ violates ToS; such as something overtly racist, or a direct threat.

As a 100% fake example:

> "I am encouraging the Military to use live ammunition tonight in DC. Anyone out after curfew deserves to be shot on site!"

The fact that this was by the president is 100% important, and needs to be available to be seen by anyone that wants to see it. Anything less is a huge safety risk, and in my opinion, if a platforms removes that content it constitutes gaslighting the public.
This is wonderful. I’ve often fantasised about unifying the command line and the desktop into a single UI paradigm and this project could just give me a realistic shot at trying it out.

Anyone who is interested, much of this classic has yet to be tried properly afaik:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Humane_Interface

Another idea: instead of having Photoshop/Excel etc. clones, have a document centric rather than application centric UI and allow features to be installable when they are needed (micro-apps?). E.g. Gaussian blur or spellchecking could be things you’d add from a microapp directory which would add an extra button to your interface for images and documents respectively.. you’ll build up a personalised interface and ‘own’ it, rather than being presented with a sea of unknown buttons/menu-items.
Well the message is now "get off our platform so we can switch it off". Everything Microsoft does goes in the direction of phasing out Windows.

I did not see behind paywall to, but here's a relevant quote:

> However, the second element is more difficult because it concerns gathering for lawful purposes and only becomes a violation when the gathering turns violent, boisterous, or tumultuous.

After it turns violent, police generally issues an order to disperse, and then proceeds to anti-riot measures. If you don't disperse after that lawful order, you are violating the law, which even most educated people don't seem to understand.
What is the point of UBI studies this small? Giving a few hundred people extra money each month will improve the well being, no question about it.

The issues with UBI only arise when it's done at scale. For example let's say you give every US citizen over 18 a monthly UBI check for $1000. What's stopping prices from rising accordingly? How will the ~$3T yearly UBI bill be paid for?

The question of how is this paid for is my biggest issue with UBI. If someone can give a reasonable answer that doesn't require national price fixing, taxing tech companies on their data, or some version of reshuffling the current budget around, I'll happily change my mind. Until then, for me, UBI is nothing more than an economists wet dream.

Grocery stores are public places, homes are not. Homes can be located in gang territory. Police ambushes do happen. I'm not saying they get it right 100% of the time, but serving warrants and bike patrol have way different risks.

It's also entirely possible the warrant was unjustifiably a high risk warrant. In that case, SWAT could serve the warrant, and you get this situation. But that's not SWAT's fault.

> Or do KMS users just take on faith that AWS will always be there?

I don't take on faith that they'll always be there, but I do believe that if for whatever (extremely highly unlikely) reason they did go away that they'd make it possible to get my keys, or give me enough notice so I could re-encrypt with other keys.

Face it, when running a business there is a ton of trust you have to put in 3rd parties (banks, insurers, your employees, the government, etc.) Yes, you should always evaluate the trustworthiness of 3rd parties, but AWS going away and deleting my keys is probably #6327 of things I worry about.
Yes, start building your own local archive with something like ArchiveBox.io or Webrecorder.io.
De-escalation begins at home, my friend. When a group of over a thousand develops, that is something right because they are citizens calling for the righting of some wrongs. A "mob" is something else, and calling a thousand in the street a "mob" absent an existing violent action is itself an escalatory rhetorical step.

In none of the instant cases (the last four days of nationwide protests focused on or around BLM-esque causes) has it been correct for "both sides [to] presume violence with guns." Only the state agents could reasonably be presumed to have and use firearms. These protesters are not shooting at cops. There is no valid presumption there.
> I hope, that both sides, the protesters and police force will find a way, to exit that spiral of violence. But right now it looks like this won't happen. It's a shame.

Is it a shame?

The only way this de-escalates is if the police violently repress the protests so hard that dissent is silenced. Which is what Trump wants. Which will only push the country further into authoritarianism.

And the police have shown themselves completely unwilling to self-interrogate their actions, and truly see themselves as the victim in this situation, justifying their reaction.

Honestly, I think the only way through this is down. There needs to be a violent insurrection from the left. Revolution is the ONLY way to enact societal change at this point.
One of those groups has access to military hardware, live ammunition, and legal (or cultural) protections from prosecution.

It's dangerously to boil down the arguments from both sides and say, "Look, these two things are the same!" because even if both sides were saying, "It's a few bad apples", the implications of that would be wildly different.
Government regulation in terms of how they selectively police their platforms, not in the sense of "don't disparage the government".
> Libraries are (sometimes) allowed to make copies of copyrighted works without asking anyone's permission.

Libraries can make copies for preservation purposes, but that's not the same thing as making those copies generally available. The latter is not something that they're permitted to do outside of special circumstances. So I think your argument is going too far - there are clear reasons why the Open Library's lending works the way it does.

Approaching from another angle: develop/debug a simple script containing your setup commands, possibly using Vagrant (or similar) in your cycle to test.

Then later you can make a video, perhaps using the software you've already tried (or recommended in other replies), by pasting the commands one by one from the script into the terminal.
Part of the rationale is that tear gas and other chemical weapons are indiscriminate. When you aim a bomb or gun, you know what you're aiming at, and if a civilian is in your sights, you can choose not to fire.

Once you release chemical weapons, you can't control them, they go wherever the wind takes them. This could be in the direction of civilians or friendly troops.

Here in Seattle they used so much tear gas in Capitol Hill last night that it was seeping into homes. A coworker reported that his 3 month old child woke up coughing like crazy.
