Let's go with this. Every domestic violence case may turn violent - and, again just for the sake of argument, we'll assume that this requires the use of deadly force by the police, so we arm them with deadly weapons.

If those cases are extremely rare, and stats I've seen show they are, there is still no need for the weapon in the other cases. We can go ahead and disarm the other officers, and have a small portion maintain arms for potentially violent cases in your given scenario

Of course, I'd argue that you don't need deadly force even to deal with the majority of potentially violent crimes, but that's a separate matter.
Dilemma or not lying erodes trust. Was it worth it? Probably not is what a lot of people are saying.
That's weird, I thought Hangouts became Google Meet.
What hasn't been used as an avenue? The point being, how much is "reddit" proper actually responsible? How much of that burden do they actually carry in policing isolated (by nature) and self-managed communities? I just don't know where that line is, and whether it's fair of Ellen to characterize it this way. And to do it as a response to what he's saying -- that comes off as somewhat tactless to me.
You can only "sort by controversial" on Old Reddit—New (default) Reddit doesn't have this functionality anymore
i do, i think everyone should. its as expensive as you want to make it... can be as low as a few hundred dollars, on up to hundreds of thousands to operate. mine is very low maintenance, maybe 20 hours a year max and adds a bit of complexity to the IRS filing each spring, but well worth it.
Point one is equivalent to saying "masks don't work" when communicated in that way to the general public.
Your first paragraph is a blatant strawman on the argument presented here in the comments.
Seems extremely disingenuous to label it as "...a few cases here and there make the front page of tabloids..."
Yeah but I also wonder how many people filter/read new and vote vs. just asking whatever... if they could average the questions that would be interesting/frequency of mentions... anyway be curious what questions are asked.

You can also press the power button five times rapidly and it goes into emergency mode. It makes a loud sound and calls 911 automatically after three seconds if you don't hit cancel. It also locks out FaceID.

So if you're under eminent attack this might be a better option. It's all configurable in setting though, so test it before you go protest.
Yeah how fast is that compiler? If it's just another compiled language (rather than the kind of wicked fast compiled language like Go), my enthusiasm will be dampened...

A massive point for me missing in this article is the experience of having to wait for Crystal to compile - especially for development, this sucks. Try timing puts "Hello, world" on both:

ruby test.rb 0.03s user 0.05s system 25% cpu 0.312 total
~ % time crystal run test.rb

Brave feels like Chrome, but I feel it's faster and removes Google from tracking the actual browser. I didn't need to add uBlock because the out of the box ad blocker is good already.
You can install Chrome extensions by going to the Chrome web store and click on the 'Add to brave' button.

I now use Brave for my personal browsing. Earning crypto while browsing is cool.

I use Chrome for work because I think their web tools are the best.
Agreed. Crystal looks like it has many positive characteristics, but having similar syntax has nothing to do with having similar semantics. Without constructs like missing_method, you cannot run practically any of the Ruby ecosystem libraries, including everything involving Rails.

Java and C also share a similar syntax, but that does not make that you can easily swap one for the other.
I'd join a community primarily because I'm interested in the same thing, not because I want to find somewhere to sell / market research. Most communities will reject you for too much business unless it's a part of who they are or you've been around long enough to know how this is normal done and received.

I would not say I crafted a community (trying to do that now actually). More that I'm a developer and we hang out in certain places, and that I simply hung out
nobody is "doing" quantum mechanics per se. they are applying predictions from a theory that has been around for a while and those predictions work well enough in narrow domains to be useful.

i know enough to understand some of the fancy math behind it, but one thing to keep in mind is that what people think of when they say quantum mechanics is the mathematical model we're working with, not the real thing.

On the off chance you aren't just trolling: watch the video attached to the story this thread is about. Or watch a hundred similar videos.

There are looters/rioters. But there are countless videos showing police attacking peaceful protesters. These are people protesting police violence and the police are responding with violence. Do you think that will lead to more or less chaos?

Sometimes the violence bubbles up from the bottom, like in this case (but notice the signs of systemic problems: (1) cops stop and correct the behavior of the one cop whose first impulse is compassion, (2) The police release an official statement to exonerate the cops involved which the video prove is a lie. The problem in Buffalo isn't limited to one or two cops.)

Sometimes the violence comes from the top down, like in DC when cops were apparently ordered to violently clear peaceful protestors and bystanders from a public park and church yard (including the pastor of the church!), apparently for a brief, cringy photo-op.

Top to bottom, the problem is that cops believe they are above the law, morality, or even just basic decency.

I wish we could say "cops are on the side of order." That's their job, and the whole reason police exist. The huge problem here is that they so often are not.
I truly believe that it emerged as a bureaucratic screw-up and can see how it evolved to its current state. I think it makes sense that they have a certification process for primary issuance and given CARES act strings attached, I can see how that also got attached to the secondary facility. Requiring issuer certification for secondary purchases was a complete surprise to everyone and the base assumption was that they were going to just follow some sort of index approach. Mentioned before but the ECB does not have any sort of certification process for their corporate program but that corporate program was also not launched at the same time as a huge fiscal program, so politics.

I do agree that buying ETFs is "cleaner" for all sorts of reasons. The certification process for bonds vs ETFs is slightly inconsistent but given that they're not going to participate in the create/redeem process, I don't have too much an issue with it. If they were buying ETFs, redeeming them, and then actively managing the bonds from there, then it would be a little more murky. Besides the fallen angel ETFs, none of the ETFs they've bought so far (and everything that qualifies as well) does not have any real issuer concentration that you could argue tremendously favors any particular issuer beyond reflecting the actual bond market.

To further expand on the overall topic, if all the Fed did was buy ETFs, there's a real risk that would not be enough. During any crisis, in order to be effective, central banks need to make big moves. To use a crude metaphor, individual bullets fired separately don't have nearly as much impact as a single bazooka round and sometimes you only have a chance for one shot. Bond markets aren't as efficient as equities and without secondary purchases, there could have been a real chance that you had ETFs more or less stabilized but several underlying issuer/sectors/whatever aggregate group continue to be dislocated. For another crude metaphor, sometimes the tail (ETFs) wags the dog on this stuff and vice versa. In order to have functioning markets, you need complete control over the entire animal which would be primary issuance, secondary bonds, and one of the more liquid proxies.
> but mass amplification via the platform's algorithm shouldn't be a right.

Right. No amplification is the solution. /r/all and the homepage need to be removed. Left wing subs and right wing subs should exist in peaceful isolation and subs like AHS which try to police what other subs are doing should be shut down.

I'm sure that would negatively impact Reddit's income, however.
Yeah, thats exactly my point. So the MITM who got the PW after client side hash, but before server side salt and hash would have to brute force that hash in order to use it on those other sites. That's the only benefit I see, and a very specific set of circumstances.
Level playing field how? What's the US going to do, regulate other companies in foreign countries? Magically convince China to de-integrate its tech companies in the same way?
I've always been amazed at how when the black community mentions something to do with race, it's always seen as if we are making up some kind of elaborate fiction solely for slandering the United States.
Agreed. I think downvoting is an ugly thing. Most of the time, low stakes condemnation is a cowardly overreaction. That being said, as a sorting mechanism, it's not much worse than an upvote
> Police is conceptually good, but in practice can be be anything from net bad to net good.

I hear this a lot, but I have a really hard time imagining a functioning society with no police. A society can't function (pretty much by definition) without law and order and law and order has never existed apart from some policing apparatus (at least not for anything besides the simplest of civilizations). Our police are surely suboptimal, but I don't see any sense in the idea that we would be better off with no police at all.
How about a body cam system that automatically switches to RECORD whenever a weapon or tool is removed from the belt, and cannot be switched back to STANDBY until everything is back in its place?
When people say the things that you say, what they really mean is "I believe in free speech, except for those opinions that I don't believe are right."

Restricting free speech until it's vetted is literally counter to what free speech actually is. Free speech is allowing everyone to speak, even if it makes you nauseous. If you don't believe in free speech, then say so, that's your right as per free speech. But please don't try to gaslight people into thinking that "peer-reviewed free speech" is anything except censorship.

What if the peers that review it don't agree with your world view and don't allow books published that you agree with? Will you calmly accept it, or will you claim censorship?

Google Dictionary agrees with you, but Merriam-Webster, Brittanica and Wikipedia disagree.
Thanks for fighting the good fight. I have a disability, and it's greatly shaped my experiences. I've arrived at a similar place as you, I think.

So much of mental health advice can be boiled down to "you must adapt to your environment, and if you can't, then your struggles are your fault for failing to adapt." The burden falls on the individual, but not on the systems they live in. The context surrounding a person is rarely acknowledged, and is often treated as an invisible normal.

But, it's not always reasonable to expect someone to adapt. Change takes a hell of a lot of effort! And, as you've pointed out, there are factors that could make it hard or impossible for someone to change. Asking someone to adapt themselves to fit rigid expectations and norms might erase parts of their identity in the process, too. Is that a sacrifice worth making?

That's why I advocate for adapting the environment to the person whenever possible. Providing accommodations, addressing the root causes of stress, and carving out little spaces of safety and comfort. And, if it's not possible, then I think it's important to acknowledge that sometimes things are just shitty. Sometimes your mental health is fucked, and there's not much you could have done to avoid it. That helps stop me from falling into a guilt spiral where I blame myself and get even more anxious/depressed.

But, overall, these days my mental health is so much more community-oriented than it was before. IMO, people deserve to live in better conditions, and shouldn't carry the burden of making that happen entirely on their own.
The campaign or Trump's personal wealth could definitely pay for a social media network for some time, I'd agree. I just think the real money coming into right wing media is based on them being able to get loads of views on Facebook/YouTube and spread things widely, and a pro-Trump social media network is really a dead end for that. Without that I don't think you could make it profitable.
Agreed. Although it's possible to get people to collaboratively agree on priorities. I've had a lot of success with putting stakeholders together at at table, making them write down what they want on cards, and then saying, "Ok, put them in strict linear order of delivery." It helps to give them a bunch of cards with "RELEASE" written boldly on them.

I once did this with 25 people representing a dozen different nonprofits, and I've done it many times at both startups and large companies, so I know it can work. Every time, people try to put things side by side. But if I gently say, "strict linear order" enough times, everybody gets it. And then they start discussing, negotiating, planning.

Another approach, one that works if your teams are established enough that you can give good engineering estimates, was what Rob Fan at Sharethrough used for quarterly planning: https://www.slideshare.net/rfan622/launch-scale-presentation

Basically, they gave out poker chips that represented the available engineering capacity for the quarter. And then had everybody discuss and persuade until they arrived at a quarterly plan.

As you say, the trick is to have some way to make sure people don't overallocate, which they dearly love to do. With that in place, stakeholders stop fighting with engineering and instead wrestle with one another, letting engineers quietly get on with popping things off the backlog and shipping them.

Their fundamental message was that masks do not work. They hedged in their language, but their recommendations were predicated on the idea that they are ineffective at slowing transmission. This is and was disastrously false.

Saying that "there's no evidence that masks work" is tantamount to saying they don't work. There is also no formal evidence that standing next to an infected person is a risk. I'm not aware of any studies that have officially proven that yet. But we still know that it is, and saying "there's no evidence that exposure to an infected person puts you at risk of infection" would be a ridiculously inaccurate thing to say.

For folks with Nikon DSLRs and Windows, there's an app called SparkoCam which uses the your camera as a video feed source and appears to the host operating system as though it were a webcam. Works for Canon as well though Canon and at resolutions higher than are currently supported by Canon's "use your camera as a webcam" software.

The best results require the use of an HDMI capture device... and all of the good ones sold out almost immediately when the quarantine started.

there's a -- critical -- feedback loop problem that you're ignoring. sure, you might work on it with the same priority regardless of characterization. but if it's properly classified as an error in specification, that is extremely valuable information for process improvement.
In the minds of the political elites, when Trump won the 2016 election.

I hate the guy as much as anyone. My wife was crying. It was a shock.

The DNC could have examined why they lost the key swing states by the thin margins they did in a deep, meaningful way. But that would have required acknowledging mistakes made by their highly paid political consultants and their own power brokers. But who wants to be the person to admit they screwed up and lost to a tangerine/chicken strip/cheetoh?

"Nah, let's just blame the Russians. They hacked our emails, they put out ridiculous lies on social media..... yeah, that's it.... the Russians and dumb morons who believed them."

At that moment, the party that has always defended civil liberties, always fought censorship by the right wing theocrats, suddenly decided it was just too dangerous to have uncensored speech. They pointed the finger at Twitter and Facebook, and threatened them. They whipped up the tech employees, making them feel responsible for the tangerine, when it was their own horror show of a primary process that doomed them.

What's really weird is that if you think about it, the people who they think need curated, safe, censored information are the people who voted for Obama in 2012, but voted for Trump in 2016, or stayed home. They think their own voters in 2012 are too dumb to weed out misinformation themselves.
Freiburg 1-0 Monchengladbach – BundesLiga – FootballGH – Video Highlights
I agree with most of your points, and the huge unified, and rather homogeneous market is a core advantage of the US in certain product categories. Since you mention SAP:
clearly, SAP is successful in a space where Europe's heterogeneity should be a problem -- different legal systems, different accounting rules etc ... and yet SAP succeeded.
Maybe it was because SAP was founded in 1972, half a century ago, when European decline was not as pronounced as it is in today?

My business, despite being quite critical (we sell parts for maintenance of machinery, today one of my clients for example was a medical equipment factory) relies heavily on ads, people come, buy what they want, and if I solves the problem, it is over, they don't recommend or talk about us, and often aren't return costumers either unless another machine break...

So our clients often are people googling desperately trying to make their suddenly stopped factory resume work, then they see our ads and buy from us.

It became obvious to us that Google is a threat, they changed rules multiple times in the past to encourage fraud (instead of stopping fraud), our revenue is directly proportional to the Google ads spend, and whenever we find a better ad provider, Google buys it.

Only possible competitor for Google is TV, but TV ads are way beyond our budget and we have no idea of they would work, considering our niche.

So... Google is not only a monopoly, it is an obvious one, and they abuse their power freely.

I have only toyed with it on personal projects. But that is kind of a misrepresentation from what a lot of them propose. You typically will not be writing more than a part of a test, just enough to get it to fail, before writing the code.

It can work good as a built in driver to exercise the code you are trying to write as you go. It also gives you a chance to test the interfaces to the code you are making as you go for usability, because you are coding to it.

There are actually some really interesting videos demonstrating the RED/GREEN/REFACTOR cycle they propose.
You can import passwords at least from chrome to safari and then they will sync through keychain. I assume importing from Firefox would work as well.

The issue is it does not stay in sync, if I use my windows machine and update a password there I would have to re-import where as a password manager (and/or its extension) would just stay synced.
Coming at Crystal from a Go and PHP development background, here are my thoughts:

- The syntax is lovely. No, really.

- I hate waiting for it to compile, especially compared to Go's compile time.

- It's really young yet, and the ecosystem is just getting started.

Asymptomatic spread was confirmed as significant the end of Feb when they tested the cruise passengers, and most of Asia already had some form of mandatory mask order in place. Widespread mask usage was shown in at least a few NIH studies to reduce transmission, though most looked at getting a virus versus transmitting it IIRC.

To me it looks like CDC/WHO hubris caused them to completely disregard Asia's approach until they could "discover" it themselves.

On the other hand, if I assaulted or murdered someone at work I wouldn't expect them to cover for me.

Really the issue is one of process. Was shoving the guy to the ground and leaving him there a normal procedure for dealing with the alleged offense? If so, it's the department's fault and the superiors are negligent. If not, they failed to follow process and caused a death, so they should be individually liable for assault charges.
"Saturated" is a poor description. Police definitely need guns available, but do they need them on their hip all the time? They often have shotguns in their cars because, sure, sometimes it's important. But they don't patrol with a shotgun in their hands. Guns aren't so prevalent as to need that.

I think the EU provides a pretty good example of what could happen. They seem much more aggressive with anti-trust and as a result they aren't very competitive on the global tech stage.

There are a handful a tech companies from Europe that operate globally, but they're usually niche (Spotify, Minecraft, Qwant).
