Much of this is only from the perspective of the consumer, a developer.

What businesses want is a way to be able to track progress and communicate priority.

The difficulty for the the business is how they communicate their priority to you, that's what the priority field is for, it's a way for the person raising the issue to supply a way to communicate how important an issue is to you.

The position in the queue is how you (and presumably your team) should decide what order to tackle the work in.

The final point is the solution to the problem is to create another system for issues, which goes against the point that says "every team must have a single ordered queue of tasks".

I find it interesting that the solution to, in their own words, "One of my life’s traumas" is to add another issue tracking tool.

Are we trying to fix the right problem?
Well, yes, in that way nothing that happens today can be in any way, shape or form similar to something that happened 50 years ago. After all, they didn't have cell phones and Twitch back then.
Indeed. It might be evidence that there are simply way too many guns in the wild in the US; and that statistically, the likelihood of violent conflict is therefore higher in the US than in other countries.

Or you could, you know, protest police brutality and misconduct and support police reform. Respect the reality that police are public servants, accountable to us, whose job is to keep us safe, and who have been endowed with great powers to do that job. The second they stop doing that job, they become incredibly dangerous because of those powers.

I've always been amazed at the law and order, respect my rights, follow the Constitution types seem to have so much trust and demand so little accountability from the single greatest threat to those rights, the police.
Very interesting!!

I wonder if through the course of the investigation we finally get a definitive reason why Alphabet was created.

The ACLU confirms what you say:

https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1268588997829410816

"When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police."

"Police may not confiscate or demand to view your photographs or video without a warrant, nor may they delete data under any circumstances. Visual records are fully protected, but some states have tried to regulate the audio portion of videos under wiretapping laws."
Escalation is still an issue with protests. Police respond with tear gas, protestors respond with bleach (like in Austin). Police respond with rubber bullets, protestors respond with bricks. Police respond with batons, protestors respond with baseball bats. Etc.

Eventually, this tit-for-tat ends up with lead bullets and dead people.

Tactics like those used in Denver, ones of deescalation, have been far more successful in keeping protests calm, coordinated, and predictable: https://coloradosun.com/2020/06/04/denver-george-floyd-prote...

> Looting and Rioting are not the same as Protests despite the media conflating them.

Looting or rioting may be protests, depending on whether they're performed in protest or for some other purpose.

> Antifa equates capitalism to fascism as something that must be stopped, the governments and police of included. And that violent means are acceptable to those goals.

No, it doesn't. You will certainly find some folks who have the believes you're describing, but antifa does not inherently take any of those positions. It only takes the position of opposition to fascism. It leaves the definition of fascism ambiguous, and there are quite a wide range of definitions people use. Antifa takes no position on violence whatsoever.

> Who paid for the stacks of bricks conveniently placed throughout the protest areas?

In some cases, cops. In many other cases, the stories are completely made up.

> Who is ambusing and killing cops in various cities?

No clue.

> This behavior should not be encouraged or excused.

Not sure where you got the impression I was encouraging or excusing this or any behavior other than understanding that antifa is not an organization and its only criteria is opposition to fascism.
Don't bring a knife to a gun fight. The US is saturated with firearms so it would be foolish for the police not to carry. In the UK the situation used to be different and to a certain extent still is, the police used to be unarmed (are they still?). It should be noted however that the number of knife crimes there is high - people tend to use the weapons at hand. This has led to a call for a ban on pointy kitchen knives, as if that would change much (if anything).
It's like announcing you're quitting your job but all you've done is leave a project's agile squad.
I'm inclined to agree with you there. Anyone that wanted to do it could figure it out anyway from the standards docs and broadcast the right data in the SIBs, but it is probably better not available as a "click and run" type setup.

Although in saying that, this is unlikely to change any time soon, as the idea of CB/PWS is to provide an emergency message that can be highly time sensitive in some scenarios (earthquake, tsunami, etc.) without delays due to authentication etc. Failing to show the message could be higher risk than showing a false message in a very localised area (based on what someone with an SDR can send.)
my answer to that is, yes that is how every other industry operates, which is why every other industry is painfully slow. Tech was the rare exception of having the advantage of starting from a blank slate a few decades ago, and it was insanely innovative. There's no excuse to let it calcify into the state of every other industry, and I'd take your point and go further, go to every other industry and do the same.

Go to telecommunications and break the big players up and create marketplaces in which small players can innovate. Do it in news media and undo that awful communications act from 96 that led to industry concentration.

We need to take an activist attitude to anti-trust that actively seeks to create rabidly competitive markets which is what fuelled early tech's growth, instead of letting tech slide into the status quo.

And of course all of these companies will still have access to capital. They'll just need to convince investors that their product is better.
I'm not sure what you mean by "open source orgs" or why you felt you needed to create a throwaway account to leave the comment. But, in general, "internal communications channels" on open source projects are something of an anti-pattern. Certainly, private board member (or other person-to-person) communications can be necessary but what you're describing sounds like an unhealthy atmosphere in general if there's a lot of contentious backchannel comms.

Google Ads will run on Google's infrastructure and pay a lot enough to subsidize all the other products. Basically, there will be some financial impacts but I don't expect any kinds of significant impacts on their business, which proves this attack to be pointless.
Bombs exist in society too. Should every officer be trained in defusing a bomb and walk around in a blast suit? No, because that's ridiculous and an uncommon situation. Just like the vast majority of police encounters don't require lethal weapons.
Why? What do you hope to achieve other than to possibly inflame the situation? I can't possibly believe that you think the cop is going to think "gee, that's a good point citizen, please carry on".
No, that's not correct.

A while ago we had (these numbers keep changing as the organisations merge).

207 clinical commissioning groups (CCGs)
135 acute non-specialist trusts (including 84 foundation trusts),
17 acute specialist trusts (including 16 foundation trusts),
54 mental health trusts (including 42 foundation trusts),
35 community providers (11 NHS trusts, 6 foundation trusts, 17 social enterprises and 1 limited company),
10 ambulance trusts (including 5 foundation trusts), and
7,454 GP practices.

The CCGs take money from NHS England and they commission services from local provider organisations. Those organisations don't have to be NHS Trusts (I think it's still law that CCGs are forbidden from having a preference for NHS Trusts).

NHS Trusts and NHS Foundation Trusts are independent organisations. They have their own board of directors and non-executive directors. Foundation Trusts do to, and they have additional responsibilities to their members.

In Gloucestershire we have one CCG, one acute hospitals trust, one trust that covers MH, LD, and community care, we have an ambo trust that covers the south west, and we have a local authority that commissions drug and alcohol services from non-profit orgs, and then a bunch of GP surgeries on top.

This means they all make their own decision on software packages to buy, and a lot of that info is locked up in their system. While there's some commonality in software packages used (eg, lots of use of SystmOne) it's not always easy to get the information from one organisation to another.

If I am diabetic and see me GP's diabetes clinic, and then I am admitted to mental health hospital, it can be hard to get my diabetes clinic notes into my MH hospital notes.

I posted a twitter thread just today about an NHS organisation who employ someone to print out one database, and then to enter that information into another database. Have a read of the twitter thread, because there are a bunch of people who agree. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23426262

I snored so loudly that when I was in basic training that they made me sleep all of the way at the opposite end of the open-bay barracks we were in.

I was 18 and near the height of physical perfection.

As far back as 10 years old I remember feeling miserable every single morning even after getting a full night's sleep.

While I understand the thinking here, it's a bit sad. It seems quite likely that very useful medical advancements could be made by looking for correlations in large databases of a variety of medical data. Or correlations between health histories and genetic data. If we gained understanding that led to improved healthcare for everyone, wouldn't someone doing this kind of work be a "good guy"?
I liked the old Slashdot moderation system. I wonder how it would scale to Reddit's traffic. My gut feeling is that it wouldn't scale well at all, but I could easily be wrong about that.

The biggest problem would be bad actors. Internet discussions in the late 90's probably had more good faith participants. People chosen for moderation would be more likely to take it seriously. In ways both good and bad, the culture was very different then.

I (possibly naively) still think the majority of people online are acting in good faith according to whatever they believe. But, with the massive online population increase comes an increase in the absolute numbers of people acting in bad faith. Even if they're still a small percentage of the whole. A Slashdot moderation system would give those trolls, bots, and astroturfers some considerable power to shape the direction of a discussion. Probably would increase the number of bot or sockpuppet accounts in order to snag a greater percentage of the randomly assigned moderation slots.

But, that's just my assumption. Would be interesting to see it tried as an experiment. Maybe for the next Reddit April Fool's project.
NPR is not state funded or controlled. They receive a tiny amount from grants from organizations that are federally funded amounting to around 2% of their budget.

Probably a lot less than some of these large private media corps get in subsidies and tax breaks on both state and federal levels.
By refusing to even acknowledge what others have said, and refusing to clarify what you mean, it's clear that you believe that somebody who is protesting within 30 minutes of their home can be justly corralled into a corner, beaten, prevented from returning to their home by curfew, and then arrested because the police unlawfully detained them in order to force them into a curfew violation.

You even say "most" and not "all" so you are explicitly acknowledging that violence is occurring to people that are being prevented from complying with law.
It's not censorship you can buy the book if you want too just not from amazon. It's like your german jewish bookstore didn't want to feature "Mein Kampf", until the Reichskristallnacht they had every right to do so and so does now amazon.
They could very well have been lying to you about failing the polygraph test too. They are legally allowed to lie to you.

Of course, they can arrest you even if you don't talk to them. It's ultimately up them whether to arrest you, not to you. You don't necessarily get out of getting arrested by not talking to them. (If they say you can get out of getting arrested by talking to them, they can be lying!). But you make it much worse by talking to them.
He's not asking a lot of money for it, and he put in the work. People still gotta eat man. Maybe not this guy with his backing and work and I'm sure he has plenty of money, but to answer your point, other people who have been censored have released their materials for free. Take for example the book "Nobody Died at Sandyhook"
There is ample public video evidence, available practically in real-time, that disproves this point. I think a slight effort on your part to look at the evidence would dissuade you.

There has been looting, but to imply that protestors are "causing chaos" is a dishonest comparison given all evidence publicly available.
yeah once they decided to remove something from their platform on their own accord the implication is they endorse everything remaining.

Please take care when using your DSLRs for video. Often the sensors are not adequately cooled for long term usage as a video camera (>30m). You have the potential to damage the sensor if it is not designed for continuous use and doesn't have proper thermal protection. Newer cameras will shut down if they get too hot, or have limits to how long you can run in video mode.

Ok but it's a pretty hard job and mistakes are unavoidable just like with any job.

I'm pretty fine here, when I make a code mistake I can fix it, and I'm paid so much more than a cop.

I suppose that would be a good reason for me to bitch about cops in general right ?

At least, that's what it seems when I read comments on hn the last days.

I can't really blame them for nondeterministic builds.

The ethics are the issue. If protesters were unable to stop the extremists, that would be one thing. They're unwilling and uninterested in stopping them, and that is the ethical issue.

This is exactly the same reason police officers are ethically in the wrong. They could decide that "enough is enough" and push out the "bad apples" among them. Instead, they do nothing. That is their ethical failing.

The protesters (and their supporters) are doing the exact same thing, ethically. They refuse to even attempt to push out the extremists, as evidenced by the widespread rationalization and minimization of their actions.

These are very basic ethical dilemmas. Do you or don't you call out and punish bad actors among your group?

Ancient tribes were generally okay with anyone of their tribe committing any atrocity as long as it was against a member of a foreign tribe.

Civilized people condemn and punish even members of their own tribe and do it even when the victim is a member of a foreign tribe.

I'm not sure.

They did sell cars in Israel. They did have battery replacement centers.

They failed because they we're too expensive.

That's mainly because they had really large fixed costs - cars, selling them , deploying charging centers through the country and holding all that battery inventory.

Maybe if they'd target a single city and instead of manufacturing cars with citroen , put some effort into converting, cheaply, pickup trucks to taxis(who will replace batteries every day and spend a lot on fuel and maintenance) they could have had a working business model and go from there.

But for that, one has be humble. I wonder, what's the correlation between humility and startup sucsess rate ?

Extreme right-wing(and center-right) are countered by the extreme left moderators and administrators. I assure you, if left-wing posts started being vote brigaded, Reddit would ban all those involved. They can already detect and ban vote brigading, they just don't care to stop it.

> "Who said masks don't work? What I recall people saying is:

> * most masks provide marginal protection to the wearer

> * the masks that provide effective protection should be saved for those in situations where they need them (and can be knowledgeably used)

> * most people probably don't need those masks"

yup, moreover, masks are marginal on top of other measures, most notably distancing. masks can make a difference if you're in a situation where you can't distance when face-to-face in proximity of strangers for more than a short time. distancing requires less "expertise" and cognizance as well, so is a better principal measure all around.

that's a more nuanced message than "masks don't work". the opposing "wear masks at all times" is similarly dogmatic and incorrect.
Awesome, give a it few days to adjust to. Its common to wake up and find your tore it off on your sleep and its suck on your pillow or forehead :)

Just keep putting it on at night, and before you know it you will wake up in the morning and have completely forget you still have it on.
Plenty of departments in other countries do routinely carry guns, including in Italy, Spain, France and Germany. The first time I ever saw a submachine gun was at a train station in Germany, it was shocking to see cops walking around as routine so heavily armed like it was no big deal, despite an obvious lack of threat anywhere.

You have to solve both sides of the gun equation for a disarm to work in the US, because violent criminals have very easy access to guns here. If you remove guns from the cops without doing so on the otherside, you're going to unleash hell.

The Vanity Fair piece on her and her husband is a good read. It was written before she became CEO, or really got that much attention. I have no idea how true her allegations were, but she's the sort of person who would take advantage of situations.

The best commentary I read on her case with Kleiner Perkins was it was an imperfect case with imperfect parties. The press presented it as representative of gender discrimination in the valley, but it was really bad actors on both sides. While I didn't have any personal issues with Ellen, I know people who did, and I can absolutely see her taking advantage of the situation, so it was pretty appalling to see people who don't know her making her a champion of women in tech.
