Where facts are debatable, the responsibility to accuracy would include a description of their basis and the limits of that basis.

Where there's less room for debate, responsibility includes an obligation to avoid "shape of the earth: views differ" approaches.

If individuals and institutions don't take up this kind of responsibility, then there's no such thing as discourse, only speech as indulgence.

And the value of popular opinion is directly related which one of those is used in constructing it. Individual and institutional responsibility, however, will remain orthogonal to that.
That's also not true, at all. If you think most jobs can be automated you clearly have no idea what an average job is.

In Britain the Tazer is considered a firearm (after all you can't have one), and so only trained officers can carry them. A great many officers are so trained, especially in some urban areas, but not all of them by far.

They do all have extensible batons and training in how to use that to defend themselves against somebody who is a bit handy with their fists or waving a blade about while they retreat, as well as training in how to de-escalate.

Even when there's an armed suspect retreating is very often the appropriate thing. Because you've got time and numbers on your side. Why risk getting stabbed (or shot) to make an arrest now, when in the not too distant future the suspect will be asleep and you or your colleagues can trivially disarm them?

There are scenarios when police need an immediate armed intervention, but they just aren't (and shouldn't be) common enough to justify giving every single cop a handgun and the training needed to use it effectively.

Of course the Americans seem to have largely skipped the second part of that, which doesn't help at all.
Many police departments still use unencrypted radio to be interoperable with other police / agencies who may not have received funding for fancy radios.

That's a fair point, and definitely something to keep in mind. Thank you for highlighting that.

I know you're not debating NC, but looking again at the state, it was mostly the last few weeks that looked flat. If you compare to the peak in positivity 42 days ago, they've gone from 16% positive to to 7% positive, using rolling 7 day averages. So, if I were in NC I wouldn't be overly concerned.

Usually the encumbent/older ISPs still have IPs from the age where they being handed more freely, so they have more than enough to give every customer their own public IP while the challengers have fewer IPs and have to resort to carrier grade NAT. Smartphone plans usually get carrier grade NAT even at the older ISPs.

I think you either have to find scientists you can trust (which presents a chicken & egg process) or study the field yourself.

That said, there are some good heuristics. Good scientists are able to show their reasoning process and explain why X is bad/good science. Bad ones handwave everything and push credentialism or rely on fallacious reasoning.

For example, I remember long ago when Ars Technica posted a detailed explanation of both what homeopathy is and how we know that it's completely bogus, why "water memory" doesn't and cannot exist, etc.

Meanwhile, in another failure of peer review, Nature published nonsense on "water memory" back in 1988:

This was the real eye opener for me over the past 5 or 10 years. I used to be firmly in the "no censorship" camp, but it seems an alarming number Americans (I'm American and can't speak for any other nation) are not capable of using critical thinking when it comes to political issue that they've already made up their minds about.

I think it's a combination of a few things:

1) Institutional and culture view of policing, vs say other western countries that are more community policing based.

2) General brotherhood of law enforcement and protecting each other. There is a lack of holding each other accountable.

3) General protection afforded by law, either explicitly or implicitly via half hearted attempts at prosecution / investigation etc.

These combined gives law enforcement as an organization and individuals a sense of normalcy in what they do, and also feeling of invulnerability.

This doesn't apply to all police officers of course, and I actually believe the majority are law bidding and trying to do good in a tough environment. There are probably also a non trivial amount that gets into law enforcement to wield power over others. Law enforcement needs to be held to a higher standard, and because of the power they wield must be scrutinized much more closely.

I'm with you on this. In the past 150 years, pseudoscientific disciplines like eugenics and phrenology have directly led to the deaths of millions of people. Geographic determinism and 19th-century racial "science" directly led to the subjugation, abuse, and exploitation of tens of millions of people.

The price of a stock is whatever someone will pay for it. The stock indices certainly have no obligation to reflect the current or future conditions of the overall economy. Some points to consider:

1. Stock prices follow trends. Increasing stock prices make stocks more attractive. These are the foundations of financial bubbles. History repeats itself.

2. Most of the valuation of an index like the S&P 500 is derived from a few stocks. 17.5% of the S&P 500 is the valuation of FAAAM.[0] Take a look at other members of the top 30 like Proctor & Gamble, Johnson and Johnson, Visa, Mastercard. The S&P 500 is mainly composed of companies essential to the daily functioning of the average American's life.

3. The stock market is essentially an unknowable process. Even the most profitable trading firms making billions of dollars a year make countless unprofitable trades each day and will go for years without turning a profit.

I just did what it felt right

I'm inclined to say that racism in Italy is different from the general notion of it: I mean, there are certainly racists in Italy, no point in denying that, especially towards some ethnicities (Africans, middle Eastern and South Americans in particular, they are considered too loud and unreliable - coming from us it's really something - and often also worse than that) but Italians are mainly suspicious of what they don't know (yet) until they know them, like we still live in small state cities, surrounded by walls, that don't trust each other. But it's mostly a trust thing: still people from the north usually don't trust people from the south and vice versa.
In Rome I've seen many times that Romans prefer Romans like them, just because it makes them feel safer.
Until they realize they really don't like each other.

Think of it as "the evil you know".

I must also say that they are often wrong and that there is a good chunk of the population who really doesn't care where you come from and just loves being with others.
Bad policing has been going on for a very long time in America, and as you say, this didn't just happen overnight. It's precisely for this reason that protests are happening.

However, the police deliberately targeting journalists who clearly identified themselves is something we haven't seen before in America. And yes, many of these cases were deliberate as you can see in the video embedded in the article. Just in a week, there were over 120 confirmed cases, many of which were live on camera. This is an attack on the free press, and takes police brutality to a whole new level.

I don't think anyone is claiming to totally eradicate it, or did I miss something? Because as long as people travel, it will still exist, e.g., we still have SARS and MERS and ZIKA, just very low numbers.

I thought the mindset was minimize it until we have a vaccine. I could be wrong.

@riknos314 and @groby_b, can you guys describe your pouring process? Do you guys agitate your coffee? Do you guys continuous pour or pulse pour? If the latter, what's the amount of water used for each pulse?

I do 25g, 1:14 w/ a bit of water to taste at 205 F, coarseness at 21 +/- 1 on an Encore with a V60. The reason I'm asking about your pour is I seem to get a sludgy sediment for my final pulse if I do anything < 20, and even then my extract time exceeds 3m unless I agitate with a stick.

I'm fairly certain nothing is wrong with my grinder (in fact I had an unrelated reason and got it back from their repair center last week) and it's still doing this so I'm betting it's my technique that's flawed.
> They don’t even carry firearms any more.

That's certainly not the case in Victoria. Aussie cops might be better than American ones, if you're respectable looking, but they still have the same attitude that comes with carrying a gun and being willing and able to use it.

Victoria and NSW police have a bad track record when it comes to abusing their powers and unnecessary violence. Just look at the recent case of an NSW police officer slamming an aboriginal kid to the ground because he'd had a "bad day", or the multiple cases of unlawful strip searches on minors, or the vicpol officers who pepper sprayed and verbally abused a disabled man who they were called to do a welfare check on, or the gay man who's arm they shattered when they raided the wrong house.

The way the police treat you here is highly dependent on how they perceive you. If you ever have the misfortune of getting in trouble with the police, they'll grill you on all sorts of irrelevant shit trying to get a read on you: what suburb you live in, what you do for a job, whether you have a girlfriend/boyfriend. If you're a single man living in a western suburb (in Sydney/Melbourne) with a blue collar job, they'll treat you like dirt. I ended up getting arrested a while back, and when they found out I'm a software engineer living in a more affluent suburb, their demeanour changed instantly.
Obviously I can't say for certain Amazon has an agenda here but I could see how this would benefit them.

[puts on additional tin foil hat]

I don't think Amazon would be targeting the big players like Google and MS. All of them can easily afford to take the loss. But this could affect the smaller VM providers (DO, Linode, Upserve, etc.) with less capital. Losing even just a few percentage points of CPU performance would cut into already thin margins. If there is a conspiracy here, I think they would be targeting the smaller players in the industry.
Is anyone (except govt employees and people making PPE/in healthcare) really fine? The economy is so intricately connected, I feel that everyone will eventually pay the price.

Another possible takeaway:

- Being excellent becomes a baseline expectation if you do it long enough so it's best you never put out your best possible work in the office?

Pretty interesting story, thank you for it! Seriously though, my main takeaway is that you can be a genius and not an ass -- at the same time. But in your particular example the guy was completely in his right to mock them.

And sadly yes, pride overrides a lot of other, supposedly much more important, factors. Learned that over my career as well and it's not one of the lessons that I enjoyed receiving.
I was discussing browser tabs with others.

I usually middle click a bunch of articles on HN, then go read all the tabs until there are none left. I close by browser often.

But one of my friends, he keeps every tab forever. He always has everything at his fingertips, but a reboot or power loss is a crisis.

So I discovered talking to other that MANY do that too. hundreds of tabs is not as uncommon as you would imagine.

And so is this desktop piles-o-files pattern.

I wonder if the answer to all this is to adapt to human nature. Allow hundreds of browser tabs. Allow everything to be thrown on the Desktop.

and help people cope with the madness somehow.

(oh and the Desktop method is my method too, except periodically OLD and OLD/OLD and OLD/OLD2 get migrated from my SSD Desktop to my hard disk old-desktop)

They added sunshades which should make the satellites nearly invisible from the ground, but they are only effective once the satellites have assumed their final orientation and orbit. They start in a much lower orbit and will likely be very visible in the first few days after launch. Then they enter a phase of orbit raising during which they deliberately rotate to be less visible, though they can still sometimes be seen until they reach their destination several weeks later.
Nope, not large.

A friend had an Aston Martin that caught on fire. About a $120k car. It took months of investigations to close that claim. Insurance pointed finger at AM, AM wanted their own investigator, fire inspector involved, etc.

That kind of attitude assumes you're law-abiding, civic, and righteous enough to never need one. Or you're not one of those people but nonetheless choose to reject second chances (even though there's a risk it will be used against you) in the spirit of self sacrifice for the common good.
