When police willfully break rules, there's a very high likelihood that they'll harm an individual, because the police officers' job is (frequently) about use of force against individuals. When pilots willfully break rules, there's a very marginally increased likelihood that they'll cause an aviation accident or incident, because the pilots' job is about safe aviation.

If you're a passenger on a plane whose pilot is doing something unsafe, you'll probably never know, which is different from if you're a victim of abuse by police (because you'll directly experience the consequences individually directed to you). Nonetheless, the pilot's unsafe behavior also has a real potential to harm you, just in a way that doesn't feel intentional or personal, and in a way that's almost always invisible except in case of an after-the-fact investigation.

There are lots of ways that the analogy breaks down, but I see one where I disagree with you: policing does also have "lots of very complex and nuanced situations [...] that require judgment calls" alongside the situations that are best described as willful abuse and crime.
Not just USA, even it's difficult to practice as a doctor in UK and Australia.

I also don't understand the difference between two doctors coming from two countries. The underlying principles are the same and the science behind it is the same.

We also read the UK textbooks at universities. I feel it just sucks to be a doctor. I would not recommend anyone to take this route.

Back in the day before I got to know these things I used to tell my mom who is a lawyer that it would be difficult to be a lawyer in another country because the laws are different.

But I guess it's just same for doctors insanely difficult even though most of the things are the same
Just a few bad apples /s
footnipple never said that protesters are "causing chaos", there is a difference between looters and protesters, and there is A LOT of evidence online of looters taking advantage of the protesting.
That's not an actual retort to the critique.

Apple cripples third party password managers on purpose. Pointing at Apple's worse product, a product that only works within their confined ecosystem, while claiming it is better than it was isn't a retort, it is a polite middle finger.

On that note, I recently set up a new iPhone & Watch. I had to enter my Apple Password six separate times, and 2F twice. And not once was my password manager allowed to populate it, even though it is saved in there.

Sure, I could use Keychain, but it lacks common & basic features and doesn't work on PCs, non-Apple mobile devices, or on the web. Maybe if Apple competed fairly on quality rather than abusing their anti-competitive silo(s), they'd have a better password manager.
True eventual consistency.
These are not "mistakes". The police are unwilling to disambiguate between peaceful protesters and looters. I live in NYC, where looting has largely stopped and every single protest I've been to has been peaceful — yet police begin indiscriminately assaulting protesters as soon as curfew ends, and threatening reporters who dare document it.
They only resigned from the task force, because their union would no longer pay the legal fees related to the protests.

"The union representing Buffalo police officers told its rank and file members Friday that the union would no longer pay for legal fees to defend police officers related to the protests which began Saturday in downtown Buffalo and have continued on and off, according to one source. The union is upset with the treatment of the two officers who were suspended Thursday."

How much is your salary?

One reason EU salaries are so low is that everyone is afraid of discussing their salaries.

I mean, what industry is not consolidating at this point? It feels like just about every conceivable area is served by a handful of gigantic players, with the rest competing for scraps.

It's now at the point where new entrants don't even attempt to start small. They explicitly dump massive sums in a bid to break in. It seems that this is happening even in areas where it's not warranted (local food delivery???).

It's as if the culture of every business has become captivated by the idea of becoming an oligopoly. My guess is because it's extremely attractive -- once you "make it" you don't have to compete any more.

It works, right up until it doesn't. I hope at some point, we make a big change in the level of corporate consolidation we allow.
I would argue that "de-platforming" is the platform owner's use of speech/protest.

Platforms shouldn't have the power to completely squash voices but monopoly power and such is a different issue.

I fine tuned my CPAP based on what I learned and it really improved my AHI. You say "<10" but if you mean AHI that's not good enough. Even doctors want <5. Mine is <1.
Overall violent crime is not much higher in the US versus other developed nations. Various prominent cities in Europe have serious violent crime problems for example, such as London and Amsterdam. The Netherlands has a higher rate of crime than the US does, and their violence is a lot less lethal. The US rate of lethal violence is higher than its peers and the very easy access to guns is the problem:

I think it's a hard call. I've seen a lot of articles recently that are interesting and germane, yet clearly written from the perspective of fighting some political battle. I think it's appropriate to flag such posts even if a lot of people upvote them.
Google+ has been a wasteland for years. If nobody uses a product, how long should a company support it? Isn't pivoting considered a good thing?
SageMath takes 3s to load for me (sometimes a lot more if my systems administrator has updated it recently, which seems to happen a lot).

I therefore use Pari/GP for my personal choice. I like the symbolic nature of Pari/GP over Sage or Julia, even though I spend nearly all of my life programming in Julia, and love the language a lot.

However, for computations of trivial things that I want to run really fast, I put them in a function in Julia (so that they are jit-compiled), since nothing will come close to that, by some orders of magnitude.
Of course. And that's a very valid want.

You're at this point because you came to an understanding about yourself and that you don't have to let those issues define who you are. At the same time, who you are today is very much someone who faces this challenge, and this is intrinsically a part of your identity. This is neither good or bad. There's no judgement or value attribution here.

The observation here is that you wouldn't be who you are today if your life took a different road, either by your own choice or by circumstance.

My point isn't that life is pre-destined or pre-determined. Each moment is an opportunity to do something that pushes your life in one way or another. But the opportunities and the choices life hands you? Those aren't infinite and neither are you in complete control over what will cross your road.

Sleep, eating, stress management, exercise,... those are all good habits that will help open doors to other sets of opportunities and choices which you wouldn't have if you didn't mind them at all.

But in my view, the author overstates their importance to the point where he simply ends up disregarding many other factors that determine one's mental well being which often have a larger impact.
Police unions are the #1 problem with the implementation of policing. They aren't even a union in any traditional sense, and have virtually no affinity with other unions. It's more like a protection racket.

You have some weird and contradictory views here.

You admit that medical bracelets are a good thing. But then you go off and say stuff like "it's unlikely they would be able to access my medical records regardless". What? It's not "regardless". We can fix that. That's the point of this thread branch.
You are making a good point, and yet...

> For those who are customers of AT&T - how do you like your service? Is it as good as Google?

Since you asked... AT&T is way better, here in Oakland and also in Austin (fiber). It's always up and there's actually decent customer support you can call. Their cellular service has been great too. Meanwhile, Google's search has turned into a content marketing delivery machine, and Google Drive web UI still cannot catch up to Windows 95 File Explorer features&performance.

But if you asked me which company can ruin my life or my company's future due to a glitch in an algorithm, the answer will be Google, not AT&T. I worry that Google is allowed to control both the search and the web browser everyone uses. I also worry that as Youtube is becoming increasingly more important for video, they'll control the "future of TV" as well. I am less worried about "dumb pipes" which is what AT&T is to me, especially with the latest migration to encryption for everything, even DNS.

Lockdown Lunacy
Your story is carefully tuned for "No True Scotsman" in advance. What are you going to say when OP spends 3+ months of their limited runway and ends up in the same place? "I said a real project, you didn't contribute to a real project" or "I said be smart with your choices, you must not have been smart", or "I said be professional, you must have been rude" or "I said network with experienced people, you must not have done enough networking"? "Worksforme"?

> I don't really see why this is so controversial.

This is you strawmanning. "Commits to Numpy or Rust are going to look better than a todo list" never was the controversial part, that is not controversial. "Be world class and people will want to hire you" isn't controversial, even.

The controversial part is "win the lottery - anyone can do it if they just try". Picking an appropriate project is a gamble. Becoming friendly with the core developers is a gamble. Picking the right issues to work on that people might notice you is a gamble. Being good enough that they actually do, is a gamble. That it translates into a job offer, is a gamble. That some people can do it isn't surprising, that everyone can and should prioritise that, is controversial.

That you should give away months of full-time equivalent work to profit-making companies, in the hope that it results in a job paying high above national average household income in first world countries, instead of spending that time elsewhere, is a huge gamble.
How about we talk about real, actual documented cases of abuses, and then coverups by police instead of veering off into hypotheticals?
Yes, sorry, I was imprecise. Cases in the US are trending downwards and deaths are trending even further down, but there are many sub-areas of the US and other areas in the world where this isn't true.

You're asking the wrong person: Sites shouldn't do that. But they do, often.

Because it's a hard job that doesn't pay well we should expect mediocrity? And mediocre is probably a good outcome, considering that bad policing often ends in death. Being president or a member of Congress is a hard job, yet we expect, rightfully so, a damn good job done, or we find someone else. Sure we should pay them better, and I suspect salary increases would be plentiful if you took them out of the military equipment fund they all seem to have.

The police unquestionably have a hard job, and are granted immense powers to do it. We all know what comes with great power. But if the single group of people endowed with the authority to deny you your rights is not held to the highest of standards, can anyone be surprised that so many are having their rights, and even their lives, taken from them?
Which is why other countries have gone full in on local loop unbundling

In the UK the last mile is either OpenReach, Virgin Media or KCOM. Because OpenReach has a virtual monopoly in last-mile infra across the country they are regulated and must provide access to other ISPs, in the old days through colocated DSLAMs in local exchanges (LLU) and now by having a set maximum price they can sell wholesale VDSL, FTTP and voice lines.

As a result, you have the gamut of ISPs from niche who focus on having amazing backhaul and customer service (AAISP) to "pile them high" ISPs like Vodafone, TalkTalk and then people like Sky who bundle talk, tv and broadband into relatively affordable packages.

As a result - there is a lot of competition almost everywhere in the country, and I can get a 384Mbps down 37Mbps up connection with unlimited usage and no traffic shaping for £50 a month.
Pepper-spray is not just capsaicin. The capsaicin is emulsified in propylene glycol and then mixed into water and pressurized. Other emulsifiers in the past have been ethanol. The capsaicin for law enforcement use is ~2%, personal pepper-spray is about the same, though it varies more. Propylene glycol is mostly non-irritating to the eyes, even in pretty high dosages times, barring allergies to it.

Likely it was the pressurization issue that just blasted the person's eyes. Meaning that the pepper-spray had to be right up in there. I would not want to take a hist from a garden hose at full blast to my eyes, let alone something like that.

Not with video, though.
policing does also have "lots of very complex and nuanced situations [...] that require judgment calls

I completely agree, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I just meant to point out that this situation was not one of them.
I think we’re making different assumptions about how the challenge/response would be implemented. I agree that if there’s a shared secret and the nonce is simply appended to it and hashed, it’s a poor design.
Uber had training that said you could never call a driver an employee or anything related to that, they were 'driver partners' or some such with words that imply a platform user
This is not even a drop in the bucket if you think this is some sort of publicity stunt. Outside of the tech bubble nobody knows any of this stuff even exists, and inside the tech bubble there's a much, much higher percentage of incel/redpill types than the general population, so it wouldn't even make sense as a way to change their perception within the tech world.

It may or may not be useful to anyone, I have no idea. But to characterize this as a "heavy publicity push" doesn't make sense. It's not a push, there's no publicity, and there's nothing heavy about it.
The law can set the speed limit whatever it wants. If there's no police officer there enforcing the speed limit, I'll drive at whatever speed I care to.

The most important part of law, is law ENFORCEMENT. If you do not assign someone to enforce a law that is written, then it will be ignored.
Fair criticism, I didn't tackle that head-on. The following doesn't actually make a cogent argument either, but I'll elaborate that my intuition is that qualia (conceived as something nearly tangible) are more like "the soul" or "spirits" and that, as such, thinking they exist in the brain or a turing-machine is nonsense. To the extent they are more like some combination of memory and emotional-stimuli, then they just represent a particularly interesting set of internal states, but are still something that can be mathematically modeled.
If you know Python, your background is perfect for a role with my company Hummingbot (https://github.com/coinalpha/hummingbot), an open source project for crypto algorithmic trading.

We have devs from Nigeria, Malaysia and Phillippines on our core team, and we work with extended devs all over the world.

Even if it's not a fit, I can try to help you find gigs. Because most crypto companies are remote-first and maintain open source codebases, we tend to work better with remote devs in developing countries.

Please go see a sleep doctor, not a GP. I was diagnosed in my late 30s, and I was definitely not overweight at the time. In retrospect, many things that I thought were normal (or even positive) turned out to be very clear symptoms of chronic sleep deprivation.

I don't disagree with anything you said, except for conclusion.

That's because you seem to operate out of an unspokem assumption that if government can change something in society for the better, it should.

This core assumption is the only thing I disagree about. Every additional little thing that government gets involved, brings unseen debt of increasing power of monopolic beurocratic apparatus with absolute authority and very ineffective oversight.

I believe that government should be involved only in things that can absolutely cannot be resolved without it. Being able to merely do some good is not a good enough reason. Yes, the phone situation is probably better with such legislation, but it's not a good enough reason for people to give up more of their power to the state and state-like institutions.
BMI of 19 with severe sleep apnea checking in. Never woke up gasping, never struggled staying awake, but I did feel like I enjoyed the occasional afternoon nap, and my partner reported snoring.

Police Unit Resigns in Protest
Add to that the fact that people would typically use the toilet paper in offices and retail much of the day, but now had to supply their own at home. It's a whole different supply chain that was suddenly burdened with a situation it wasn't prepared for.

People used to make this exact argument in the 80s when it came to Japan, and even when it came to the Soviet Union[1]. There were countless of people who had already written off competitive markets in favour of supporting domestic industry.

In the car industry people actually listened and enacted domestic protection, what did that get the US? Two lost decades of shoddy cars. Have Japanese conglomerates overtaken the world? Nope.

I think it's an absolute smokescreen and such a blatant attempt by Facebook to use nationalism to protect their status. In the long run we're better served by trusting in innovation than trying to protect domestic business. It was always the right bet. And if China continues to prop up giants they'll just stagnate. The reason they caught up in the first place is because, for at least a short time, they allowed free-wheeling fierce competition.

They can do that? Defense of people having legal trouble while doing their job is the central purpose of a union!

The police union should be ordered to pay all legal fees related to excessive force incidents until they are bankrupt. Police unions have been amongst the biggest enablers of police violence in recent times.
The problem is not all people in the public at large will apply that same logic and just take the statement at face value at first glance. Masks don't work. Don't buy masks. When you ask them the question of "what did they initially tell you" later, their response would be "masks don't work."

With someone in such an official position, misinformation can do great harm for people that know no better. Anyone who doesn't do their own research might think they're supposed to trust these people when worst comes to worst. And when they find out the advice is contradictory, that trust is lost, and might not be rebuilt for a very long time. It breeds doubt.

Personally however, I couldn't for the life of me believe that having no mask is better than having one.
IANAL, but the law takes this into account by requiring mens rea to be convicted of many crimes [0]... for example, 1st degree murder. If it's an accident, it's not 1st degree murder because intent must be proven. At best, an accident might result in some lesser charge that carries less time in prison. So I doubt your scenario (a mistake results in life in prison) would ever occur.
