> Of all the investment opportunities available to people, I'm not particular sympathetic to purchasing property to seek rents.

If forbidding renting properties to tenants would solve problems, I would be on your side.

People will always need to rent. A society has to allow them to without allowing them to be exploited. But once you allow renting, you have to protect property owners from tenant caused damage as well.

I'm not saying we're there - we may be far from it. But renting is not only useful, it is necessary.
A tiny tax on each order (bid, ask) entry would cut the total volume of orders by a huge factor, cost them only a small fraction of their takings, and probably fund free college for everyone in the US.
Netflix still has employees in warehouses shipping DVDs, no?
The FCC filings are probably your best bet, 95% of the technical details we know are from them (92% of statistics are made up). I'm not sure if they contain enough information for you though.

>it if the worse case scenario turns out to be true: this treatment does in fact work, and was stalled or prevented due to politics.

There are two worst case scenarios here - Firstly, politicians pushing unproven drugs on the general population, causing unnecessary deaths. Secondly, treatments which may have some efficacy being abandoned because of a reaction against those politicians, potentially causing a failure to bring an effective treatment to bear.

Both of these can be true at the same time.

As others have noted, it may be that the discussion here was spiraling into a negative cesspool of bad comments too quickly, and maybe that's why it got flagged?

I reposted a similar article as an experiment, although it's not nearly as good since it isn't the original source. It didn't get flagged but probably because it didn't gain traction quickly enough to garner comments:

Wrt to the drugs, even if the gangs switch to something else for their income, surely it won’t be nearly as profitable as the drug trade? Still seems like you could deal a serious blow, especially against the cartels.
To directly answer your question, I -- a brown man -- have never had a bad interaction with police. I assume Canadians are also annoyed when given tickets, but really police have been nothing but helpful, and I feel free to approach police officers and ask questions.

My dad -- also brown -- has also had the police called on him (usually because he's berating someone at a store or something), and the cops have only ever diffused the situation, never added to it.
The frequency bands and modulation types are available from the FCC.

The data will probably be encrypted, but I think theres a good chance you might be able to get some metadata.
There’s plenty of video of everything. There’s video police calmly pinning George Floyd down and slowly murdering him, even taking his pulse to make sure that he was in fact dying and they didn’t need to adjust their hold to make it more lethal. There’s also plenty of video of police riding around and tear gassing calm crowds, as well as them standing next to vandalism and suggesting tags to spray. There’s also plenty of video of them attacking journalists, who I’m sure spent hours antagonizing them into assaulting and maiming them. Given that the unrest is hitting the places with the worst police/community relations (Philadelphia has been affected while across the bridge in Camden is perfectly calm), it’s pretty obvious that police are actively trying to discredit the protesters demanding reforms to their occupation, usually by trying to bait them into violence and then refusing to enforce laws to maximize appearance of lawlessness. Hell, they even openly acknowledge it - one officer said that Floyd’s blood was in the hands of protestors who came out after his death.
But you never had to hand crank a car while driving it down the road.
SEEKING WORK | Portland, OR

Hi there! I'm looking for projects working on interesting problems at the intersection of science + data + software. I'm a heavy user of Python and the Anaconda data science stack for data analysis and visualization.

I'm currently the back end lead for a tiny start up, and before that I worked for several years as a freelancer. I've built data pipelines and dashboards for researchers, brought apps to market, done feasibility studies for incorporating ML into a product, built an NSF-funded game. I'm comfortable working with incomplete specs and partially defined needs, and I like building good working relationships.

Feel free to get in touch even if you don't have a particular job in mind, I enjoy coffee chats.
Dang, if I could just say, while I've also noticed an increase in Wikipedia submissions lately I've found a lot of them to be particularly interesting! Some that come to mind were https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23379148 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23358989

It seems to me this was just a bad submission, it's not so much Wikipedia.
That bump was for the April period. May isn't likely to look as rosy.
That's a great idea and something we have in the works!
If it’s not normalized for time worked, then it’s not really pay ratio that represents the value a company sees in an employee, or the economic comfort of that employee. So, what’s it really trying to show?

Some jobs don’t require full time work, like consultation or janitorial services, and these jobs are structured around this, by having multiple clients. Trying to take any direct meaning from these ratios isn’t really possible since another dimension is required for these numbers to have any real use.

I like this, because sometimes I check Hacker New's New section, and honestly compared to every other site I know of, it's a veritable gold mine of terrific, thoughtful content (compare to reddit's absolute bottom-of-the-barrel, pure filler stuff). So I approve of anything that helps me get through it, and see more excellent content.

You don't have much of a choice outside of what your rental criteria is and if you take section 8 due to fair housing laws.
Another interesting fragment:

> Q: Are the interactions that are happening right now between police and protesters something that you think is predictable? Or is this something new that we haven't seen before?

> A: It's not completely new; it's just the intensity of it compared [with], let's say, five years ago during the Eric Garner and the Mike Brown protests. What we're seeing is really an immediate escalation to very high levels of force, a high degree of confrontation.

> And I think part of it is driven by deep frustration within policing, which is that police feel under assault, and they have no answer. They trotted out all the possible solutions: police-community dialogue sessions, implicit bias training, community policing, body cameras. And it just didn't work. It didn't make any difference. And so they ran out of excuses.

> So the protests today are a much more kind of existential threat to the police. And the police are overreacting as a result.
There's plenty of landlords in SF who think turnips bleed. There was a cafe that just closed permanently because the landlord wouldn't lower the rent, in a building bought 20 years ago for $1m where the gross rents are over $60k/month. You do the math.

> So long as their speech remains legal, social media sites should not be the business of censoring elected officials.

With all due respect, I disagree entirely, and elected officials censor each other as a matter of doing business. social media sites should be designated as journals and subject to the same ethics as journalists. I think the novelty of harvesting personal data (as in, "Oh, you mean someone cares about my favorite color? Neat!") can be tempered by holding users to the same standard as journalists.

Social media sites are just journals. I am not going to allow Tinker Bell to sprinkle her magic pixie dust over Facebook and Twitter to give them some "special" status that allows them to avoid their journalistic responsibilities. They are in the journalism industry; they should lead, not beg for special consideration.
This is a great idea and the Google Sheet share is a great format, but there are many flaws in the representation of the data. A great, immediate change would be to add a row at the top indicating some of the flaws, and then start making incremental changes to fix them (e.g. create a column for stock based compensation).

Cause overall this is a great topic, just needs some work so people can focus on the topic at hand rather then get bogged down in the data quality issue.
Is Jack Dorsey paid any more than any other billionaire who owns a few Twitter shares? He could choose to not work for Twitter (some people might say he already has...) and still earn the same from his Twitter holdings, so it seems reasonable to say his compensation for being Twitter CEO is just the $1.40/year. And he "only" owns 2% of Twitter, so it's definitely reasonable that some other rich person could have the same size shareholding as a passive investment.

Im open to lessinging restrictings on accredited investors to allow more access. That said, it is worth pointing out that public investors do have access to primary market IPOs.

That said, I do think this is somewhat beside the point of how capital gains should be taxed. I think that stock appreciation profit should be taxed at least as high as personal income.
I disagree, China seems to fit right into the pattern.

Mao became undisputed leader. His purges were bad enough that the party decided to implement a 10 year term limit.

Xi removed that limit, and now China is swinging slowly towards authoritarianism. We're still in the early years of his rule at this point. Wait till he makes a mistake and his grip starts slipping, then he will see enemies everywhere.

When someone makes themselves ruler for life, it tells you that their character is not suitable for that position, because they lack the humility to hand over their work to a successor. Because they've decided they can't trust other people's motives and competence.
I'm not talking about the article. I have no doubt that NPR will make a very reasonable and completely ignored opinion. I see many people on my social media groups actively fighting for complete defunding. This article just reminded me how lacking the current popular debate is in light of these protests. Not ironically, 100% serious that removing all police and having social services will fix things.
I find it hilarious that people continue to undervalue the skill requirement for programming. Thoughts of Oh I'll just hire someone off shore and make a fortune. Good luck finding someone naive & intelligent enough to write code in poorly developed areas around the globe and have them programming for you while you make a fortune. People expect a decent quality of life, specifically if they're making anything of value for someone else and that requires being around similar peers living an okay lifestyle. Otherwise they will burnout or worse and after maybe a year you will have code that needs rewritten.
I think your parent comment meant that people are trimming their expenses, not that they are sitting on so much income that they can't spend it fast enough.
In this case, simple risk management should have ruled the day. Regardless of research, it seems fairly obvious (though perhaps not?) that mask wearing has effectively zero negative health risks. It doesn't take a genius to realize that blocking just a single sneeze confers benefits.

Given the risk/reward, and the high stakes nature of what we were about to go through, stating "no comment" on masks was pants-on-head stupid, because when medical folks say "there is no evidence to support" the press inevitably spins it to mean "this doesn't work." It highlights just how behind the medical field is when it comes to understanding how to incorporate human psychology, risk management, and other areas mastered by other industries to minimize harm.
The paradox of democracy is that it makes it seem reasonable to say “60 million people agree with me, so my opinion cannot be that bad”, even if that opinion means ruining the other 60 million lives.

It reminds me of a joke by the late singer-comedian-punk activist, “Freak” Antoni: “Let’s eat shit: millions of flies just cannot be wrong!”

This said, I honestly have no answer to the current predicament. We have populist parties collecting substantial victories simply by claiming they are not allowed to say what they are saying, and then use those victories to actually restrict the speech they don’t like. It’s a bit like rappers complaining that radios won’t play them and they are discriminated against, while breaking all sorts of airtime records and flaunting their bling.

Even you - you have a government you agree with, doing stuff you agree with, but somehow... you’re an oppressed victim. How much of this is due to the vagaries of your electoral system (you are effectively in a minority, but still you rule over the majority), how much is rehashing the good old practices of ancient Christianity (persecuted for 2000 years, while ruling the world for most of those same 2000 years), how much is modern weaponization of the democratic conundrum, Weimar-style? And how much is just an excess of visibility of relatively small and intolerant fringes on all sides?

I don’t know, and I honestly cannot see a way to make you happy and progress society at the same time.
I wonder what those numbers would look like taking into account that there has been much more testing online in the last several weeks? (so of course the number of detected positives goes up)

I grant that the worst might not be behind us, but I also keep in mind that the experts said from the beginning that most likely outcomes are that this will become another variant of the common cold or flare up some years similar to a bad flue season [0]

I also agree that this needs to be watched, and I appreciate your realistic appraisal of lockdowns despite the possible remaining danger.

That's not large in this context. It would need to be large enough to cover several thousand pounds of legal defense fees to investigate and argue against the claim. So at least several tens of thousands of dollars.

It must be said that there has been a counter-culture that has been militant in trying to get rid of this. They're enforcing speach codes via code of conducts. (I.e. look at some of the recent examples including Linus Torvald (and the number of people who piled on), donglegate guys, etc)
YYYY/MM/DD or even YYYY/MM definitely tends to be too granular for photos in my experience, but I've been dumping the recent year's photos / videos into a YYYY directory every January (which takes seconds to do), and it's been great. Gives me a fresh new directory for all the new media for the year, without directory fatigue when looking for older photos. I also clear out the photos / videos on my phone at the same time for the same reason.

That said, google photos is where I go to search my photos. I'd love something self-hosted, but I don't care enough to weigh options and implement something, and I especially don't care enough to build my own.

Google's File API sounds really interesting. I personally want a tag-based filesystem that can _look_ and even have interactions like directories and files, but works like a graph.

Anecdotally, I know two professionals in their late twenties who used to live in New York City, but moved home to be with their family during quarantine. Their leases are up in September, and neither one seem likely to renew, since their jobs can be done remotely and their offices are planning on maintaining the status quo for the forseeable future, past the point when many people usually sign leases. I don't have data that this is a larger trend, but I don't see anything particularly unique about those two individual' s situations that would make a similar approach untenable or unappealing to many other people.
I’m just a video rendering code monkey, I have no particular insight into this issue. (FWIW I believe Zuckerberg is genuine in his position, but I also think he’d change it rapidly if the legal environment tilted the other way and it became a genuine business threat.)

I wonder about those different platforms. They already exist — Gab simply isn’t that popular. Revoking Section 230 would expose Gab to a “Thiel vs Gawker” situation: a billionaire could sue them into extinction. That doesn’t seem desirable at all.
I think the point was more that whomever makes the list of acceptable items for the HSA is clearly out of touch and missing important things, and there shouldn't be a person in that role anyway.
> police are violence workers

That's a rather pejorative way of expressing the point. (Thanks NPR.) It would be better to say that policing is about protecting law-abiding citizens from people who are acting antisocially and often violently.

Many of those people are simply criminals. They belong in prison, and often force is required to get them there.

Others are experiencing mental-health problems to varying degrees. Some force may be required, but it's a lot to ask that policemen also serve as social workers, psychologists, etc. The place I live has a parallel organization to provide this, and they work hand-in-hand with the police. It seems to work pretty well.

The lack of such a parallel organization is not a failing of policing, though. It's a failure our elected politicians, and perhaps ultimately ourselves.

Because it must include labor in other countries where the pay scale is very different. A barista at Starbucks in NYC is going to have a different income than one in Vietnam. By making these all US companies, you are comparing the CEO pay of an American against an average of global norms which are far lower.

It would be useful (to me) to include another column that's just the median pay of US-based employees.

Another interesting tact would be to show what a Vietnamese CEO makes versus their company's median pay, or what this looked like in the US in 1950, for example.
The problem is that social media has made it possible for anyone to reach an audience of billions with a click of a button. This so radically changes the dynamics of how we communicate with each other that some new rules are going to be needed.
If politicans want a platform for their speech, they'll have to buy a newspaper / website like every other tech billionaire already did.
Police in the US do now have jobs others used to do. Big cities used to have more social workers to deal with street people and such. There were "the men in the white coats" who hauled crazies off to mental institutions. Political parties had more boots on the ground - in the days of machine politics, you could talk to the block captain about getting a job.

All those jobs were dumped on cops, who aren't that good at it.

Especially dealing with crazies and druggies, and having no good place to send them.

On the other hand, cops are too hard to fire. It's not like they're stack-ranked. The bottom few percent are not fired for underperforming. Bad cops are a minority, but they're not ex-cops soon enough.
Are they employees or contractors?
It’s worth keeping in mind that unemployment benefits are around half or less than what one was making. I know someone who’s job was paying him about $600 every two weeks. COVID-19 hit and they furloughed him. His unemployment benefit is about $150/week.
jcims clearly stated>"I'll wait it out, but if people start attacking my car and breaking windows, i'm hitting the gas till i see daylight."<

jcims didn't say that he would be "Driving a car into a crowd..." as you state.

Clearly, if rioters begin beating a car and breaking windows the driver has the option of surviving by driving to preserve life, limb and property.

jascii says>"mentally training yourself to make that a "valid option" can be extremely dangerous."<

Have you ever been surrounded by a mob or mobs while driving a vehicle? We're discussing it here, so you've now at least considered (and possibly once experienced) such a situation: otherwise how could you claim that such an option can be, as you state, "extremely dangerous"?

Tell us your valuable experiences, please.

Do you have a citation or real-life experience regarding that assertion? My understanding is that all law enforcement officers that go on to carry a firearm undergo a comprehensive psychological evaluation prior to or around when they enter the academy. This information may be unique to Oregon, but as an attorney I have worked with tons of law enforcement officers and they have all undergone psych evals... I know numerous social workers that have gone through the application process but been passed over because of their psych evals. Or so we assume - they are otherwise solid candidates.
