I think most of what you’re saying is not controversial, but I think you’re missing a lot of context. Those officers, and the protestors, exist in a country that still treats black people as second-class citizens in a variety of ways. Hell, the current President spent years saying the previous (black) President was illegitimate.

You want to see the protesters and officers as equal, but they’re not - the protesters are trying to change the status quo, the officers by and large want it to stay the way it is, and often want to make things worse for minorities (“Make America Great Again”).

Sympathy for the officers is fine, but remember they can quit whenever they want. Black people can’t quit being black.

As someone who has taken part in DC protests, we were gassed, pepper sprayed, stun grenaded, and shot with pellets in order for the president to take a photo at a church. It is incredibly naïve and downright incorrect to suggest that the police are _only_ intervening during "public safety hazards".

I think you nailed it.

It’s tough to say which state will use Trump’s magnanimous offer to deploy the military, but similar to the lockdown, I can imagine a cascade across state governors taking the offer, and even more hilariously - a partisan split of Republican governors taking it and Democratic ones not. Perfect to bait back the base that secretly seethes at the racial undertones of events like this. The collective sentiment will be invisible in pre-election polls, but Trump knows how to conduct the silent orchestra. It seems unimaginable, but beware the hidden vote.

We’ll have to wait and see, but the stage for this to turn into a mockery is mostly set. NYC is on day two of a mandatory curfew.

I think there are two different things here.

I do notice in my area (Paris, France) that many small restaurants hardly have an online presence. I understand some people don't like calling up restaurants to order (I sometimes am one of those people).

Indeed, in such cases, having some sort of external service aggregating information and maybe even exposing some sort of common ordering platform would be great.

However, I think that people have an issue with GrubHub (and/or others) impersonating the restaurants. They don't come out and say "Hello, this is GH, we'll connect you to XYZ". They make you think you're doing business directly with the restaurant when, in fact, they're covertly routing the order through their platform and extracting fees.

For me the actual issue is their not being open about it. I don't often go to restaurants and I don't know people working there either, but I would think that offering such a service in an open manner would be welcomed by both businesses and clients.
I've been in CS gas chambers multiple times over the past 20 years. No big deal. Should be even less of a problem for people sucking a bit of gas in the open air, not deliberately breathing it.

Hi Paul, thanks for Ardour.

For anyone curious, this wiki page describes how to package and run some precompiled binaries on NixOS, particularly the section "The Dynamic Loader": https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Packaging/Binaries

NixOS tries to insist that programs reference only other paths within the nix store (e.g. /nix/store/9rabxvqbv0vgjmydiv59wkz768b5fmbc-glibc-2.30/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 which is a specific version built by a specific compiler, rather than /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2). This is the source of the per-program isolation that enables all the nifty features of NixOS.

NixOS _does_ make exceptions to that though, for example providing both /bin/sh and /usr/bin/env at those paths.
And how cheaply can you create a environment of "1.4 million atmospheres of pressure, and over 4,000 °C"?

A subtle trap when formatting Go time.Time values
Woh, crazy, did you see that cop rush the news cameraman after like 3 minutes of peaceful protests and literally bash him in the face? Man I'd look like such an asshole if I'd just bet that videos of this don't exist! Glad I didn't do that, I would feel just soooooo stupid! Like a real Grade A dumbass, that's for sure!
I agree with you, I think there is a failing on two parts: firstly, police are ill equipped (training wise) to handle this and it was a systematic failure to deploy them like this. Secondarily, police (I would guess their union) have continually pushed to expand their ability to use force, giving the impression that they are well equipped to handle this.

On the first, I firmly believe that you should always deploy people who are accustomed to a more difficult or dangerous task. Managing large crowds of potentially violent people is far beyond the typical danger police face (usually peaceful, or one or two dangerous people). On the other hand, this is one of the scenarios the National Guard is trained for. And the level of force is likely lower than what they have trained for. The current response is like handingba Sev1 incident to an intern. They're just as or more likely to cause more damage as they are to help.

On the second point, handing armored vehicles and body armor to a group that isn't well versed in their use and effects on the opposing force is a bad idea. The outcome is inevitably the "five foot drop". When you your electronics don't work and you don't know how to fix them, people tend to give it a hard smack to see if that works. Likewise when your day to day policing doesn't work, deploying your heaviest armaments probably seems like a good idea.

I do still hold the officers accountable to a degree. The degree of force is incredibly one sided. However, more than them, I blame the system that put them in a situation they are so unequipped to handle.
Is this also true for being killed by a black police officer? If so, please add a reference.

Otherwise it's quite expected that in a segregated society, people are killed by in-group members. This would only be different if there is a huge number of lynch mobs.

That said, there is another issue hidden beneath 'by a wide margin'. It's also bizarre that there is so much more crime among black people, and that blacks are over-proportionally incarcerated. The easy answer is that blacks are so much more violent. But if you look closer, don't you think that's a bit puzzling?
It's apparently enough to have just a few people with visible power. I'm just saying, the reason we see so much snow everywhere is because it's the winter of the human civilization. And no, the winter won't end because some good minded folks issued a decree that from now on its summer.
Does anyone know of something similar for non-ML papers?
It’s not stated as clearly or precisely as I think it could be. I’ve heard it articulated better without giving each epistemic category its own jargon like “unknown unknowns”.

There are things you know, and things you don’t know. Furthermore there are things you know you don’t know. But be aware that there are things you don’t even know you don’t know.
Indeed, that's why I posted. I found it to be an interesting juxtaposition. :)
Then Java arrived and sucked all of the air and mindshare out of the ecosystem. Java lucked into ideal circumstances,

Not only that but Java was free and Smalltalk was $50k/seat. There was a chicken-and-egg problem, no one could learn Smalltalk unless their organisation had already committed to it. It sounds weird to say it now but Java won by grassroots adoption.

Or maybe you think that holding an umbrella wrong is reason to gas and throw explosives at an entire crowd of people.
That is the thing about collectivism though. Imagine one person throwing a bottle from the crowd at the police(something which can be seen in tons of videos). The idea of collectivism implies that the crowd itself is no longer innocent at that point. Not to mention the destruction of public and private properties. The words "rights" and "responsibilities" go hand in hand and people love ignoring that fact.
Routinely assembling in large crowds during a pandemic is an absolutely stupider idea.

I'm not saying there isn't something worth protesting right now, but the timing is far from ideal.
But see, this is one reason I said constitutional changes are in order. But politicians are focuses on the next election so they think they have to have visible accomplishments so they spend their time fixing exterior symptoms. Approval rating would not be good if you spenf most of your term focused on getting traction for a constitutional convention.
You said "stupid and abusive". Not the sort of terminology usually used for "property damage".

And yeah, I read (and just reread) your next sentence, and it still reads as a "shit happens" attitude to me.

As I read it, you're saying there's nothing we can possibly do to ensure that rate of "stupid and abusive" cops is any lower than the rate of "stupid and rioting" civilians. (Or the most optimistic reading of it I can see is that you think we can't do any better a job of ensuring a lower rate of stupid and abusive cops than we have now.)

I think we need to do a _way_ better job of screening cop applicants before giving them a badge and gun, and hold them to a way higher standard that is currently the case.
Indeed. No one likes it when people disagree with them. And this is precisely why the freedom of speech is so important and has thankfully stood its tests in court.

Rewriting implies rewriting legacy code (regressions) and wasting time.

This isn’t necessarily true. A few years ago, we rewrote a large part of a web-based UI. The original implementation was a Java applet, a reasonable choice for an interactive diagram at the time it was first written. However, over time the applet had become a liability because browsers were planning to drop support, and in the meantime some useful alternative technologies had become available. In a situation where you are porting an established system to run on a new platform, rewriting really is the only way and therefore isn’t a waste of time.
> That will never happen. FDR's own party shit bricks when he tried to stack the Supreme Court. He got his pee-pee smacked hard.

It didn't happen then, but that doesn't mean it can't happen now. For several decades, the Republicans have played political hardball to pack the courts in their own way [1]; I doubt that was a factor nearly a century ago.

Categorically false

There are hundreds of videos showing the police brutalising peaceful protest. Watch them.

Single example - How about peaceful protestors at the Whitehouse being tear gassed, batoned and charged to make way for the president's photo op?
we're about to enter a very different phase imo
I believe what we’re seeing in some cities constitutes a police riot, with cops instigating or creating violent clashes out of peaceful protests.
Yeah, I get it. But then you have to define 'fact', and as far as I can tell the only thing that makes something factual is when enough people share the same opinion about it.
During a conference call, Eric Yuan said: “Free users for sure we don’t want to give that because we also want to work together with FBI, with local law enforcement in case some people use Zoom for a bad purpose.” (From the article)

AFAIK, the ISS needs to be de-orbited over an ocean, burned up, and replaced. (like the plan was from the beginning)

There are a number of scary mould patches up there, and potentially other pathogens, with no real way to properly clean the whole thing.
Just a heads-up: before you get angry, bear in mind the situation is evolving and that the context and the timing information are very relevant. Here's why: at least in NYC, I know the protest leaders and the NYPD police chief got together just a day or two ago to have a dialog and try to mend things so they can work together instead of against each other. [1] They don't hate each other, and in any case, both sides realize they need the other's support. They just want to be able to work together to keep things peaceful. And it seems like they're giving each other another chance to do things right, and it's important that they get that chance instead of having more tensions flare again as a result of anger from 3 days ago.

So, before you get worked up about what happened, check the date, and try to see if there's any local news in the city that might indicate something might have changed in the meantime. You won't necessarily see these on frontpage headlines, so it might take a bit of digging. (I've found actual videos from local news reporting on the ground much more helpful than textual articles from national outlets here. It seems to me it's just too difficult to capture all the relevant dynamics, emotion, and nuance in text.)

In fact, if anyone's involved, I would suggest putting this information in the repo here as well. You don't want to add fuel onto a fire that was already under control a few days ago, and you want to know when (or whether) good progress is being made. Ultimately the goal is to find a working model that others can hopefully emulate.

Well all the more reason to quit Zoom.
That $6.42 is what the restaurant is paying to GrubHub due to their flat per-order fee, not what the customer is paying for the coffee. It's not like the restaurant is charging $10 for coffee and losing sixty-four percent of that; it's normal coffee at normal coffee prices at the restaurant's end. They're out of pocket every time it happens.
BTW another brilliant innovation of Smalltalk was incremental compilation.

Actually, Smalltalk compilation to bytecodes isn't incremental, from a certain point of view. The compiler finishes completely with bytecodes, usually instantly from the POV of the programmer. The compilation is complete. However, the binding is late. (Usually termed "late binding." You see, usually only one method has to be compiled at any given time.)

If the VM is a JIT VM, then there's another compilation step to machine code. Arguably, one could term this "incremental compilation" as well. It fits the colloquial definition of "incremental."

Another weird way one could term the features of Smalltalk, is the argument that it's a strongly typed language. Yes, that's right. It's just that the only type is Object. The differing of behaviors of instances of different classes is just runtime magic. (Late binding again.)
Could the latter issue be due to a HVEC codec mismatch? I have an old Mac and it doesn't handle that codec well.
When a Trump rally was protested back around 2016 in Phoenix, an ambulance was blocked.
Direct I/O to the framebuffer may be very, very slow. It usually bypasses all caches and is treated as a synchronous device register access, which means the CPU waits for it to complete. And it may be one byte at a time. It's mostly a legacy mode for debug purposes, boot screens, and such.
Miley’s excuse doesn’t hold water. Is he in the habit of wearing BDUs every single day? He commands no troops, a suit or dress uniform is what he would wear at his job. Why change into BDUs if not for a photo op?

I think he’s using a flimsy excuse to walk it back once he got serious public and private blowback over what he was doing.
It was free beer, while most Smalltalk products had prices on the enterprise ranges.

Then all C / C++ compiler vendors, jumped on the wave by adding support for the free beer Java SDK on their IDEs.

Just like Linux versus commercial UNIXes of the day, free is a mighty power.
Which means everyone is missing the point. It doesn't matter if you personally participated in the riots, theft, and destruction: you are in the crowd of people which is a collective and as such, is treated as a collective. There is no other way around it. It's easy to think about it as an ordinary situation, but this is much like war. Only a handful of the population is actively engaged in a war but the damage is reflected upon everyone.
I don't know about that. Not that it's easy to measure. But I feel that if I go to a restaurant and it's closed outside their normal hours inexplicably... I am definitely less likely to come back.
Good to see more projects using libp2p to do p2p for webapp directly in the browser.

However, in my understanding, you still need some WebRTC/WebSocket server to bootstrap the p2p network right? Without network (router) level of support, like Named Data Network (NDN), it seems impossible to build pure p2p application on top of the TCP/IP network. Especially when not every device are assigned an public IP.

All the "p2p" applications I've seen (e.g. zeronet, ipfs, bittorrent) require bootstrap nodes / trackers, which may be censored by the ISP.
It's okay to use Zoom for a bad purpose as long as you pay?
>When Times New Roman appears in a book, document, or advertisement, it connotes apathy. It says, “I submitted to the font of least resistance.” Times New Roman is not a font choice so much as the absence of a font choice, like the blackness of deep space is not a color.

The author never considers the fact that a writer may simply like the way Times New Roman looks. There's nothing wrong with liking things that are popular or the default choice.
Totally fair. I’ve actually held that opinion for a long time, since wiki articles tend to be random and deliver no value. This one just seemed too on the nose, and I couldn’t help myself.
My point is there is not enough empathy going around and it still stands.

Riots happen when the social contact is broken.

For some people the primary social contact that is broken is long running systemic racism.

For some it's militarization of the police.

For some it's the US seemingly slowly sliding in facism

For some it's the economic Injustice of being told "the economy", i.e. the stock market is doing great while unemployment is at an all time high.

Here in Santa Monica the police ignored nearby looters to fire upon protestors. The two groups were largely unrelated and physically separated, making the police’s actions very hard to justify.
I've never gotten AirDrop to work. I wasted a whole day, once, double-checking software versions and hardware capabilities and reading every manual and specification and forum post I could find. It seems to be one of those features that magically works, at some times for some people, and leaves no clue why it doesn't, at other times and for other people.

It sounds like a neat feature. I wish I could use it.

> Is Feynmanium the last chemical element that can physically exist? That is, what are the chemical consequences of having an element with an atomic number above 137, whose 1s electrons must travel faster than the speed of light?

Just a nitpick, electrons do not travel - they simply exist as a quantum phenomena, with a probability of existing in certain places. That said, as your link also explains, when we take the electron energy into consideration, it seems like there is a limit for "regular" atoms, but beyond that they may simply exhibit weird quantum mechanics. We have no idea.
