I'm having trouble finding the clip you're talking about (the link next to CNN redirects to AP News and says "PAGE NOT FOUND" for me?), but in any case: the thing is, I don't think (though IANAL, please do correct me if this is wrong!) it legally matters one bit that they had press credentials and clearly identified themselves as such. Being a journalist, as far as I know, doesn't give you some kind of immunity to anything. My understanding is that if they get treated better, it's only because the executive does it out of respect for the press or to steer clear of the line and build a more clear-cut case. But legally, I expect they'll just be treated like any random people. I imagine police will make a case that it's not realistic to negotiate with each person on an individual basis when dealing with crowds and that they have to do things in bulk as much as possible. And if you want to win, you can't realistically argue that they shouldn't have the power to do things en masse, so the only viable remaining argument I can see is that, even with that consideration, their actions were still somehow unconstitutional. It's possible one could make such a case for some of these incidents, but if the CNN case was merely one of being "arrested" as you describe (and not e.g. getting badly injured etc.), it doesn't sound like a winning case. The legal system seems to pretty much treat a mere arrest as a no-op in many situations... treating it otherwise requires clearing a really high bar as far as I've been able to tell.
Ok, I'll bite: would you give a mass murderer a second chance? The financial/moral cost of Enron was stochastically as bad as that at least.
Second chance in running financial operation? Probably never in this case.

Normal job with little power and little ability to fraud would be fine.

I've written this kind of code myself, where you measure a time delta and divide something by the delta. It's always something that sticks out though, that you might divide by zero (especially if you did it in Java!).

The article says it would have been picked up in code review, and I agree. But it just seems odd that it wasn't changed right there. Why not just write to loop so that it keeps looping as long as the divisor is below some number like 10ms? You also want to minimise the estimation error, which is easier to do if you divide by a slightly larger number. Consider a loop that takes between 1 and 2ms to finish, your estimate will be either x or 2x.

"No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." -- Stainslaw Jerzy Lec

If we assume there is such thing as human free will (your quote shrinks the possibility of what we can affect with our free will), Police officers are agents who have the ability to see these environmental factors and {choose to stay officers, ignore employer-provided therapy, vote for the union leadership which negotiates their employment contract, etc.}.

We don't have as much control over our lives as we would want, but police (as individuals and as a voting bloc) have significantly more control over the lives of others than us non-police do.
Regarding 2 the Swedish state economy probably hasn't been in a better shape to pump money into the system in the last 20 years. The whole talk about "spara i ladorna" (save in the barns) by the minister of finance has been widely criticized before 2020,but has left the government in a very favourable position compared to the rest of the EU.

Nr. 4 is spot on, though.

It puzzles me whenever a thread like this comes up on HN, how I either always had reasonable managers or people are exaggerating a lot.

When something is obviously not going to work akin to diesel in a gas car, I have never met someone who wasn't willing to at least take a second look at their "solution".
I have used Windows 98 SE on CPUs up to various Pentium 3s. There was a problem with big (above 512MB) RAM volumes but it was easy to solve.

I was only forced to switch to Windows XP when I upgraded to Pentium M (Dothan) - besides the Safe Mode I could find no solution to run Windowes 98 on it.

I would gladly return to Windows 98 now if my hardware and software supported it.

Parent post did not mention qualified immunity it doesnt seem.

> Right now, convictions of officers for actions done while in uniform are astronomically low. We need to work the other parts of the problem (gathering evidence, getting police to stand witness against other police, getting DAs to actually charge and push for convictions, firing of officers for conduct unbecoming an officer, etc).

it didnt say the low rate was due to qualified immunity

> but the media ...

I don't think you can blame the media here.

They reported on extremely important and relevant scientific research that was credible by any kind of reasonable journalistic standard. How could they have done otherwise?

Contrasting the research claims against the claims of "a certain politician" would be a natural and necessary part of that.

Some commentators went too far -- some always do, often the same ones -- but the failing here wasn't generally the media.

> Did we forget that we should all be rooting for treatments to work?

I don't think that's being forgotten that outside the lunatic fringe. Notice that this story is getting wide coverage, just like the coverage of the original finding.

I haven't played the game, and I don't know if it matters, but I would think that considering the processing necessary for attractive graphics in today's world, doing the physics right would have a cost too small to practically measure.

I don't understand how something that could easily be done on an 8 MHz computer in 1985 could strain a modern machine. Especially if you look up a decent algorithm and don't do the naive one.

Maybe there is some misunderstanding. Like, "n-body" to me doesn't imply a detailed simulation of inhomogenities in the celestial objects, like in real life they talk about mascons and such when landing on the moon. I'm assuming it's just that you calculate the forces of each body on every other body. And while you can do better than a simple N^2 calculation, if you have less than a dozen what does it matter?
What I've heard VPs of Engineering and team leads saying to justify this over-protectiveness when screwing up was along the lines of:

"He/she knows they screwed up. No need to pour salt on the wound."

Which is completely fair. But I've also seen fairly clueless people in responsible positions screwing up again and again and again and never being called out -- and those scenarios are not okay.

Yes, there is a lot of self-referential nonsense out there.

A huge number of overwrought social media posts by [mostly white, mostly upper-class] people not directly affected by police violence are basically an exercise in centering themselves and their own feelings. They are not sincere efforts to grapple with a complex systemic problem.

The tweet you linked is newer than this discussion. And it's also misleading. The major players in the business world aren't E2EE today, so Zoom is breaking ground in that way, but as far as free offerings go FaceTime is E2EE and that's certainly not a niche service. WhatsApp is also E2EE. And there's a platform called Wire which I'm not particular familiar with but claims to be E2EE. And it's also a paid service, which suggests it's targeting businesses. I guess it just doesn't count as a "major player".

What a great link, thanks! I had not seen this before.
That's one reason I prefer live reporting and live streams to the highly curated content the news shared. The funny thing is, every single live stream I've seen (30+) features the police starting violence first. I discount the looters in this, cause thieves gonna thieve given the chance, but I haven't seen a rock thrown that wasn't in response to getting tear-gassed. Maybe cops are just used to absolute, unquestioned authority, or maybe they just have a high percentage of bullies and assholes, but after tens of hours of footage I've watched live, the cops use violence first. Which is a breach of our Constitutional right to protest. I personally swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States against all threats foreign or domestic, and breaching constitutional rights domestically makes these cops a perfect description of that threat.

And "going boom" typically involves those nitrogen atoms setting off on their own to turn back into N2.
this statement by the authors is silly on it's face...

They claim that the US has seen a falling labor share due to the following --- "the decline in worker power – as private sector unionization and union power fell, the real value of the minimum wage declined, shareholder activism increased, and ‘ruthless’ management tactics became widespread"

The authors are either locked up in their academic high tower and out of touch or they are writing to serve a political agenda.

Unions served a valuable purpose when management was truly "ruthless", however nothing in current work culture remotely approaches "ruthless" anymore.

Unions are effective at increasing pay in return for less production. it's sad but true. There are few unions left that actually have anything resembling an ethic of hard work when compared to non-union norms. These remnants of hard working union types are only found in the blue collar "gloves and sweat" industries.

That point aside, America has lost it's blue collar labor force because we have developed a technocratic, first world, entitlement culture that considers physical labor as an untenable acquaintance.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world has to fight and struggle to survive and hard work is a fact of life and a measure of worth. Consequently, Americas blue collar workforce is simply out worked by the rest of the world and if not for the immigrant work force, that bring the drive and desire to work hard with them, American labor would be in an even worse predicament.

Pricing power for the workforce does exist in America and examples abound. However, it is these unionized parts of the economy that have contributed to the downward trend in labor share by offering less production in return for extorted compensation increases.

American born workforce has lost the cultural sponsorship of physical labor and each generation laments the laziness of the next. This is the underlying reason that America's share of world labor has declined.

Academics are laughingly stupid sometimes.

Poor people successfully sue businesses ALL THE TIME.

Besides, just last week a friend of mine told me that the former boss of one of his employees threatened a lawsuit over a non-compete agreement. He simply told the former boss "see ya in court and you'll be paying my legal bill". That was the end of that.

Not only are most of these just bluster, it's not profitable to sue poor people, since poor people don't have money.

Not necessarily a feature request, but a request regarding the website, possibly a nitpicky request at that.

At the top of the page, under "Push-to-Talk Collaboration", it says "Squawk delivers instant team chat".

That line specifically confused me heavily. That line makes it sound like this is the feature your product is delivering. But MS Teams already has instant team chat functionality. What does this mean then?

Aside from this, I love the idea and the implementation of your product. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I definitely have a strong urge to do so now.

EDIT: Looks like I was misled by the title of the HN submission. I thought this was a walkie-talkie plug-in for MS Teams (mostly because of "Teams" in the title being capitalized), not a standalone product (which it, turns out, is). Please ignore my original request regarding the website. Still excited to give your product a try, probably even more now, after finding out it is a standalone product.
Formula is literally the only thing some babies can eat particularly less than 6 months old. You cant just give them cow milk, or chocolate or bread or whatever. Has to be formula if it cant be breast milk.

Not all parents breast feed their babies for myriad reasons - some by choice, some not by choice.

Formula is quite expensive in the UK - no idea how expensive it is in the states, but a 800g tin of powder might cost about £12/15USD. That makes about 4 litres of milk which might last a 100% formula-fed baby 2-7 days depending on how old/hungry they are. By comparison 4.54L (i.e. 8 imperial pints ... we still seem to sell milk in imperial sized bottles for unknown reasons) of cow milk is £2.18, so formula is roughly 5x or 6x as expensive.

Is £12 for 2-7 days worth of food for your kid expensive? For people on HN probably not, but I do know that the formula in the supermarkets often have security tags on them (along with razors etc) so I am guessing a lot of people cannot easily afford the formula/can't afford to feed their kid literally the only thing they can eat. Sad stuff really - this is why I would expect it to be on these sort of discount schemes.
What did they think 12 years ago when Iran was part of the Axis of Evil? If trust takes a long time to build, there shouldn't have been any generated here.

Can you include specific examples of how popular EU opinion has driven policy? Typically the foreign policy of nations depends less on popular opinion than on geopolitical concerns. Your argument might be stronger if it focused on Trump's isolationist military and trade rhetoric, which both pose a much more significant threat to the current order in Europe and are a more substantial break from past USA policy than its attitude towards Iran.
