Measures implied by "police abolition" have been given a good voice here: https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2020/06/police-abo...

What I advocate for is a series of measures where trained members of the community, as a job, are in charge of primarily, defusing conflict, secondarily, preventing crime, and as a last resort, enforcing community standards and laws. No arrest quotas, limited jail, no cash bail, no mandatory minimum sentencing. This sounds like what I hear police are like in other places, but existing police power structures are powerful and resistant to reform, so wholesale replacement appears to be the best tactic.
What is PE fueled by? IMO, in large part by zero interest rate policies.

Here's the transcript of the press conference if anyone wants the "unfiltered picture" [0]. You had white supremacist flying neo-nazi flags shamelessly out in public, which while sadly normalized a bit by now, was a huge deal back then. One of them runs his car through counter protesters, killing one. Any other president would have condemned their actions immediately. Instead Trump takes two days to say anything, and then spends most of the press conference defending why he took so long.

The criticism about fine people "on both sides" was that he was equating the alt-right protesters with the alt-left. That's insane. The alt-right was literally flying nazi flags, and one of them drove his car through a crowd. He only says that he's not walking about the white supremacist after being asked about it multiple times. Read the transcript. He's trying to draw a false equivalence between the two groups.

The way you portrayed his response is very dishonest.

That’s the Federal Estate Tax; individual states still have their own estate taxes. In Oregon, for example, the estate tax kicks in for assets above $1 million, and is graduated from 10-16% depending on the value of the estate.

Edit: the tax does not apply to assets going from one spouse to the other, though.
I'm having trouble reading between these lines.

What a few good examples of "abusive" meetings?
I spent from around 2008 to to 2019 carrying a decent camera with me almost everywhere I went. I loved taking photos, and I wanted to make sure I was capturing them in the best format I could.

I also only shared on social media photos that were taken with my DSLR or whatever I was carrying at the time. I received a ton of positive feedback on the quality of the photos, with everyone commenting on the fact I must have a nice camera, asking what camera I used, etc.

Last year, after playing around with an iPhone 10, I made a conscious decision to leave my camera at home for most occasions, and do the best I could with just my phone. The quality was such that I didn't feel I was losing out on much by not using a fancy camera.

Since then 99% of what I post on social media has been shot with my iPhone. And yet, I still, constantly, have people telling me "you must have a nice camera, what kind is it?" They sometimes refuse to believe me when I say it was my phone.

There's no real secret to it, I don't think. I spend a lot of time considering framing, perspective, lighting. I also still post-process in Lightroom (on my phone) most photos I post. Just simple things like some straightening/cropping, maybe bumping the contrast and clarity a bit.

I've come to believe there are really only two things you need a nice camera (or more accurately, lenses) for: 1) nice background separation with a shallow DOF. The iPhone portrait mode is still pretty mediocre, and finicky to use. And 2) the changes in perspective different focal lengths can give you. Compression with a telephoto can give some really nice effects, and you can't beat the wide open sweep of a wide angle.

The fact my iPhone now has 14mm, 26mm, and 52mm focal lengths makes that last point even more irrelevant. And it's so awesome I can quickly toggle through them, rather than swapping lenses or carrying a heavy zoom lens.

Of course phone camera sensors haven't caught up yet with "real" cameras. If you're doing serious night shooting a big sensor still can't be beat. But frankly I'm amazed at just how well my phone does do in low light (just don't pixel peep on a large screen).
What does any of that have to do with curating viewpoints?

I think the main factor is literally the stupidity of managers and the fact that real intelligence has almost no value in our modern economy.
Managers don't get hired because of their intelligence - They get hired because they have connections to capital (the right friends).
It doesn't matter what these managers do because most of the economy is founded on oligopolies which are themselves founded on fiat money printed out of nothing.
Western economic power is an illusion at this stage. The numbers look bigger in the west but they're way more fragile and collectively people have less freedom in how
they spend their money - This is why all VCs just copy each other instead of actually thinking about their investments, they know that the system is too fragile to allow them to actually think.

I have a suspicion that investors in developing countries invest in a broader range of companies and it's more like a free market than in the west.
> and many copyright owners have to file literally millions of requests a day,

No copyright owner is capable of filing millions of valid DMCA takedown requests per day. Anyone attempting to do so is flouting the requirements of the DMCA takedown procedure and committing perjury with every notice sent where a real human has not personally viewed the allegedly infringing material and come away with a good-faith belief that it does indeed constitute infringement of the work identified in the notice.

> Why is a politician endorsing an unproven drug?

Why do we pretend like we've never met Trump when we talk about him? He's endorsing it because one of his friends mentioned it to him. That doesn't give everybody else an excuse to be as irresponsible as he is. The reason he's listened to is because he's the president of the US, the reason scientists are listened to is because of a perception of high standards and integrity. If scientific institutions play the Trump game, afterwards he'll still be President, but they'll have nothing.
Or we could do both?
Trump is not a scientist. He was presenting in terms of an exagerator. Irresponsible, but we already knew he was an exagerator so there was little harm. When scientists present something in terms of science we expect a greater standard.

We should hold science to a higher standard. Politicians lie all the time, and exaggerate all the time.
It depends. If the bootloader is unlocked, they could boot a custom recovery and alter the system image to try and insert a workaround (such as deleting the buggy library and dealing with the resulting breakage). If the data partition is fully unencrypted, they can even delete the offending file straight from recovery. On a bootloader-locked, fully encrypted device (the default nowadays) they'd be SOL and have to use the stock recovery or bootloader to force a factory reset - not only would that involve obvious data loss, but they would even have to deal with FRP afterwards.
You completely missed the point then and are absolutely wrong about what I said. Have a nice day.
> Scientists say warm weather may not slow spread of Covid19

Not sure I like your title there. The actual article's title is "Will Warm Weather Slow Spread of Novel Coronavirus?".

From the article, it's apparent there is no clear evidence yet:
> We’ll obviously have to wait a few months to get the data.

Furthermore:

> there is a glimmer of hope in one of the group’s models. The researchers incorporated the effects of control measures, such as physical distancing, with climate. It appears from this model that such measures, in combination with warm temperatures, actually might combine well to help slow the spread of this devastating virus.

You can cherry pick from this article either way it seems, so I don't think there's much substance here

FWIW, I'm able to just drag the lock screen left to open the camera app. Alternatively, I can press/hold the camera icon on the lock screen.

Hearing about a 5-10s delay is shocking. It's instantaneous on my iPhone 11.
It is not an all-out, miracle cure but it definitely helps. Not trying to work anyone into a political fight, but I do firmly believe the US medical industry is doing active propaganda to prevent use of HCQ for Covid-19.

You miss the point. How hard is to find hate speech which isn't censored?

Out of interest I searched for "alt right" on Facebook, and it took about a minute to find a post that said "Social media has made too many of you comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the mouth for it."

The post is dated Feb 9, so it's been there a while. It's not unusual for that group.

And so on. It's one thing to have community standards, it's another to prove you're applying them fairly.

I see no evidence that Facebook is interested in doing that.
Give their docking simulator[1] a go on a phone or tablet - I was dubious at first, but even on an iPhone I managed to complete manual docking on the first attempt. It turns out flying a spaceship is very different to flying a plane, and rapid inputs just aren't massively important. Generally your edit is probably true as well - in standard flight everything is meant to be on autopilot using predefined routines for the mission, computers are just significantly better at performing a 16 second burn at 82% thrust at precisely T+12:48:16.

Ongoing studies should continue and we can see if there is an provable effect, now that the claim of health danger has been discredited.

My guess right now is that at best it will be as effective as remdesivir, but really until an actual RCT is conducted there is no proof either way.

The only thing I’m sure of it isn’t a “100%” cure as was touted by some politicians since if so, that would be obvious by now as the drug has been tried since January/February and yet patients treated with it are still dying.

It's not entirely clear how they came to that conclusion without any data to back it up. How could they know? Was there an internal survey or something?

Or perhaps Facebook employees generally lean right maybe? Any FB employees here care to comment?
You're conflating the "do what they say" aspect of authority with the "drive them off a cliff without saying anything, when they tell you to drive forwards" aspect of authoritarianism. Too many times have I heard people say, "yes we know this isn't what he wants, and yes, we know that he would change his orders if we provided him with the information only we have, but he told us to do this and nobody will be able to blame us for the resulting fallout."

At least here in the US, Amazon's power has brought a minimum of $15/hour to all warehouse jobs. You just can't get paid this much at smaller companies.

Even if the law was for $15/hour, small businesses would go under because they can't afford these rates and companies like Amazon would dominate anyway.

This is one of the reasons they support a government mandated minimum wage increase and also why the stricter laws we have in place for companies, the more likely we will end up with industries dominated by a few big players for decades and little chance that a smaller company/startup can ever grow large enough to actually compete.
But that is not a complete model of a golf ball. A complete model will include the wave function of all the particles in golf ball. It won’t be simpler than the model an organism of the same size. And in this case I mean by simpler that the number of bits required would be lower.

How does the capacity of the thing you try to model affect the complexity of the model?
Five or so years ago a major oil company around here outsourced to India.

Shortly after someone from India turned off the power to an entire refinery.

In another story that I experienced myself first hand a huge customer we had had outsourced their IT department.

At some point a critical system went down in the middle of the night putting lives and hundreds of millons of dollars of equipment at increased risk not to mention violating regulations.

These things happens from time to time in large systems, but there is a huge difference between calling a guy or gal who knows it versus calling IT support, hear them tell that they will create an emergency ticket, and then get a call back 4 hours later from a smiling technician that wants to help me.

Long story short: by then we had already got someone on the site to break a handful of rules to get it working again.

I have more of these.

People in other countries are equally smart, often smarter than me, but having a bit of mechanical sympathy and a bit of knowledge of what you are supporting, knowing how to recognize an emergency when communicated from a person from another culture, all those things matter.
I'm not sure that your conclusion here is correct - you may want reconsider before you accuse someone of unwholesome motivations ;)

The problem is that you have categorically stated that you do not have racism. Unless you're a one-person-band (and maybe even if you are a one-person-band), you cannot possibly prove the absence of something, especially something as pervasive and insidious as bias (any bias - including racial).

You can say we have no reported bias. You might even claim to have no biases worth reporting.

But absolutely zero bias? That would be an amazing thing to behold, even in an individual. Certainly something to strive for, never something to claim categorically.
Unions are great, but strikes are actually pretty rare. In the short term, they’re bad for workers, too! Striking is always a last resort.

No one in science places 100% blind trust in any paper, even if it is published in a prestigious journal.

In fact, scientists often say, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, "It's published in Nature, so it's probably wrong" (the more revolutionary a result, the more likely it is to be wrong, but also the more likely it is to get into one of the top journals).
A more visible medium where you see this happen is in sports. Average players can go on to become great coaches or even managers.

Hey guys,

I've been working on a resource to help freelancers & agencies get more clients, thought it would be useful in these times.

Whilst browsing around I couldn't find a thorough resource with ideas and actionable tips, just blog posts. Whilst you may have heard a few of them before I think putting them into a handy resource helps you brainstorm new avenues for business.

Let me know what you guys think! Have you tried any of these? Any more you think I should add? Looking to continually update this.
I am not sure if this is misunderstanding, satire, or trying to make a point.

This may have been asked rhetorically, but I will answer it seriously.

First, there are some really good science reporters out there, doing excellent work. I recommend Ed Yong at the Atlantic, Helen Branswell of STAT News, Jon Cohen at Science, Amy Maxmen at Nature. There are others (it's a team effort and those are all great publications), but if you just read all of the articles under their bylines, you will get a good overview of what's going on. They will not let you down.

If you have a little bit more time and energy for this stuff (as I do), then there are many experts on Twitter who freely share their analysis, and among them are some excellent communicators. When controversial stuff comes out, you can get a good sense very quickly what the flaws are and what seems to be the consensus. If you want to dip your toes into these waters, I recommend Angela Rasmussen, Trevor Bedford, and Marc Lipsitch. For critical analysis of bullshit published by seemingly reputable academics, I highly recommend Carl Bergstrom (his takedowns are highly entertaining as well as informative).

It's frustrating for me to see such pearls of knowledge and expertise so freely available, yet the vast majority of people snarfing down huge quantities of information swill.
You can also delete the offending file with a fully encrypted main storage, since twrp supports decrypting and mounting the storage on demand.
Even if it wasn't the majority that felt that way, it's interesting to me that they felt "afraid to speak out for fear of appearing insensitive". The situation is so polarizing and dramatic, we can't hope to find an optimal solution.
That makes sense. Flying a plane is all about responding to perturbations to keep on an even course. A spaceship has literally zero perturbations. It goes exactly as you direct it to go, within the precision of your burns. So its all about carefully issuing bang-bang control signals (burn for 2 seconds) then measuring the response against expectations.
Way to not read the post. You’re perhaps being a little naive. There is more than one way to accomplish things, and your way is not the most effective way.

> master's

A master's degree from an American university is a huge benefit when trying to get a visa. That means there are plenty of international students who want to get master's degrees from American universities because it helps them get into the country.

Americans don't need visas, so most of them don't bother getting a master's degree, because there is not as much benefit relative to the opportunity cost.
