The aerial video doesn't help at all. If you're being unkind to the protesters then the ground level video shows a protester shoving an umbrella in a policeman's face which is the start of the entire thing. The policeman reacts as anyone would when someone shoves something in their face, they grab/bat it away. That causes others to reach over the fence which would appear threatening and then the spray starts.

If you're assuming good intentions on the part of that protestor then the umbrella being over the fence and in the face of an officer was just an accident of being too close the fence so that their umbrella ended up in the police officer's face. The result is the same, the protester is crossing the line like the "I'm not touching you" meme. The officer has an umbrella shoved in their face and they react.

From the officer's POV this (https://pasteboard.co/Jbm1UXn.jpg) is a protester trying to intentionally block their view or just annoy them.

I know you won't accept that interpretation as remotely valid because you've already decided there is only one correct way to see it.

I'm not placing blame and I'm not defending the police. I'm just pointing out your interpretation of what happened is just that, an interpretation. There is at least one other perfectly valid interpretation.

Malaysia is probably one of the few countries with actual successful protests. We've had multiple government changes from it, including the British. And peaceful measures worked better in getting rid of communism than violence.

What's important is to show that everyone agrees on a policy. Politicians are social creatures. Colonists care about cost-benefit. Politicians only care that they'll hold on to power; nobody wants to be backing the guy on his way down.

I think most protests are not consistent enough. Protests are a marathon, they need to be done over years, consistently. We had tear gas and chemical sprays for the first years of corruption protests, but as time went on, the protesters became more peaceful, and the police started to have sympathy for them.

A good modern example is gay rights. I'm not sure if 'protest' is the best word, but it has been done over many years and non-violently.

That said, it's not for all situations. Protesting Japanese occupation resulted in rape and torture. Violence didn't work either.
You literally think you are making a coherent argument that doesn’t collapse in on itself?
> If there were do you think we'd be having these discussions

Yes, even more so.
They might be long away from stasi now but you don't get there in a big leap you get there slowly, justifiable inch by justifiable inch until the surveillance is enough you don't have to justify it anymore because people are too afraid to protest.

If you want to discuss surveillance then yes of course it's a matter of degree. Putting cameras in a bank vs putting cameras in a pub vs putting cameras in your home. As you can tell in the real world it's clearer when it's a step too far. In the digital world we need to be more careful because it's unmapped territory.

You need to think hard about why it's an invasion of privacy to put cameras in your home. It may seem obvious but it's not. Once you understand the reasons why that is an invasion of privacy then you can start to draw analogies to the digital world and understand what is going too far and what is not. The problem is people don't have a deeper understanding of the reason we need privacy so they are easily sold security in the form of digital surveillance without understanding the eventual consequence.

Ask HN: Approved” for SBA EIDL loan, what should I use it on?
I finally got [pre?]approved for the EIDL program - I originally applied nearly 2 months ago, more interested in the "free" grant portion of it, which was immediately exhausted and I haven't seen a peep about it since.

Anyway, I am approved for $18k at 3.5% for 30 years ($88/month payment) with first payment due after the first 12 months (it looks like the first year nothing is due.)

I'm curious what ideas people would have for how I could use this? I am just a freelancer with a day job, so I don't need a loan to survive, but if there was something worthwhile that I should be looking into, I am all ears. Using it to bootstrap a new business, or purchase an existing business/idea, etc?

When I see people see double-quotes following a block quote, they're there to indicate that the following sentence(s) is about that specific portion of the larger quote... not to indicate deliberate misquotes.

In any case... every alteration he made to that quote resulted in a substantive difference to the thoughts and tone of my message. Including the sarcastic exclamation point he took the liberty to insert at the end.

It will take a long time, generations, to fix this. I remember the 1981 race riots in London.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Brixton_riot

There was a public inquiry afterwards that led to the creation of a Police Complaints Commission. But that was largely ineffective for at least 20 years afterwards.

Ultimately I think integration and education are the only solution. My parents didn't meet a non-white person until they were in their late 20s. At my school there were a few black families. At my kids school there was a lot of diversity; and differences in race, sexuality and religion seem to be "old people's problems" to them now.

1. Is feels pretty elite. Exactly what you mention - some new language that is pure and beautiful and not burdened by those dirty systems of the past (thats how i felt when they were discribing it).

2. The elitism i guess makes sense because it's core philosophy of the original author. The fact the original author is prick doesn't make the project bad but there is lot of ideology tied to it. It then makes sense then that part of the solution is buying finite namespaces. The richest have the most power because they are the most capable...

3. There is just huge contradiction in secure private p2p system funded primarily by Thiel. So it's Palantir money. Now I don't want to say that it's not secure. Quite the opposite i am pretty sure it is highly secure and verifyable.

But it feels like it's aiming to be the closed off gatekeeped part of the internet for rich and powerful that is secure and not spied by companies. While the rest of us gets the regular data mined, survailence network... regular internet.

I still do not understand, why you folks with Nvidia hardware expect it to work out of the box in Linux, when there have been two decades of experience that Nvidia doesn't care about that and won't allow anyone to do anything with that.

So no, your RTX won't work as nice OOTB as Intel and AMD GPUs do. It will continue to be the case while you continue to give them money for them ignoring you.

That's what you get when you are a MITM-by-design solution.

In short: Zoom E2EE eventually will encrypt corporate conferences, but will not solve the privacy problems they have, because their structure stills the same.

Ubuntu has been plug and play for me the last 4-5 years.

It even supports devices no longer working on Macs and windows without any user interaction.

Of course, high-end nvidia boards seem to have all kind of problem. Stay away from Nvidia if you are a Linux user.
No, I'm aware it is. Most of the problems is people trying to use it to distribute binary source code. Using it for source builds and debian/rules is a lot saner and straight forward.

These types of debs cause problems with system upgrades and I groan whenever I see something that uses checkinstall or similar; there are add-on deb sites that basically do that, and you get a mess in the resulting system. A lot of this is why snap got made.

I'll admit that the Debian package format could be better in this regard, but the packaging format is primarily for use by dpkg-buildpackage and building the distro.

Disclaimer: this is my own views and not those of either the Debian or Ubuntu projects.
I tend to come down on (1) in many cases, eg., social psychology.

I'd be open to more of this sort of modelling if (4) was a realistic and completed project.

The reality of (4) however is saying, to the public, things like: there may either be very limited climate change, or the entire world will be destroyed as we know it.

I don't see the current public understanding of science, esp. via journalism, as fit for such realities.

There are no legal implications of not respecting do not track. I don't know definitively, but a search tells me many major companies (including Google) don't respect Do Not Track.

In fact, Do Not Track can in itself be an extra datapoint websites can use to track you, so it's best to leave it off.

I believe that if a smaller company broke criminal wiretapping laws, the individual people involved with the criminal activity would be going to prison.

Why is Google, which cannot break the law, only being sued in a civil action? Individual human people at Google broke criminal wiretapping laws.

(I know they’re not mutually exclusive, but I cannot see a future in which the DoJ brings criminal conspiracy charges against Google PMs and SWEs/SREs.)

It’s almost as if once you hit a certain size, the penalty for a company’s staff breaking federal laws becomes “the company writes a check for some percentage of your ill-gotten gains” and not criminal prosecution/prison time.
I beg to differ at some point.

In physical world two people are talking.

If police has suspicion that they are commiting a crime it can request a warrant to install listening device and only then they can listen.

In Zoom like scenarios any third party (like technological companies using law as excuse) can listen without warrant (and they will say something like "no one is listening" as training AI is not considered "someone")

As such communications should be encrypted with asymetrical cryptography where only warrant giver can decrypt them (not warrant giver giving the private key to law enforcement, but decrypting the symetrical per session key and give that to the law enforcement). And this goes as phones too.

And quite frankly I dont care if police with warrant is listening to my conversations. I dont want to any company listen to them as they are not doint it for law enforcement but for profitting on my data (quite possibly against my interest) and this is something completely different.

This is the scenario where technology gives people MORE privacy, prevents police illegal wiretaps (without warrent giver consent), prevents technology provider wiretaps and on the other side still allows legal wiretapping based on warrent-giver.

But interesting, no one has any interest doing it, guess why?
He neither had Smalltalk-76/80, Simula 67, Java, Python or Ruby in mind. What he understood by OO is rather "object based" in todays language.
There are none; the do-not-track flag was a proposal and standard that is lacking any legal requirements to respect. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track

The closest thing to legal is the European GDPR legislation, making it mandatory for websites to have consumers opt-in.
Exactly, which makes it worse. Real bad actors will just switch meanwhile normal people get surveillance.

Nobody says that Hitler is still alive. The theory is that he was still alive after the war/was seen in Argentine (i.e he didn't commit suicide) which can be supported/may be "possible".

My point is that without hard evidence anyone can provide "reasonable" arguments for almost anything. That's why we have protocols and run clinical trials instead to rely on what "makes sense"(i.e inject disinfectant to kill covid-19) in our more or less sharp minds.

Now if someone talks bullshit all day long it is very hard to figure out when he says the truth so without evidence it would be safe to assume that whatever he says it is very likely to be false or at least partially false.
I like the commented out print statements all over the place. It make the code seem alive somehow.
My approach to Linux laptops:

* Buy Lenovo

* Have integrated graphics (i.e. Intel)

* Run Fedora

This combination has, for a few years now, given me excellent reliability 'out of the box'. I don't have to do anything and everything from the fingerprint scanner to the wifi Just Works. There's still a bit of a battery life penalty compared to Windows, but it's not enormous.

I love this idea. I've been jury-rigging this functionality in Affinity designer for a while: I can never remember where particular commands lie in the menu system so I click on the help menu, search and activate from there. If this can do the same thing with a couple fewer clicks/ key strokes then I'm in.

Aside: My first computer job, back in the 90's was working at a "computer drafting" office. We'd take engineering drawings and architectural plans (hand drawn of course) and convert them in to digital form (using Radraft on SPARCstations). After the first couple of weeks everybody ditched the mouse/ digitising tablet and did all the drawing using keyboard input -- this was partly a reflection of how crappy the mice were (early optical things that had to be used on a metal mouse mat) but more to do with the speed and precision offered by keyboard input for expert users.

I'm all for GUIs but having a way to drive software -- even design software -- from the keyboard is something I really miss.
As Zoom now owns Keybase, I am really worried about the future of Keybase, especially after statements like these.

This also makes none or very little sense - if this is actually just to cooperate with law enforcement, why would encrypting corporate (or paying) calls be any better, the bad people that are referred to in the statement could just get a paid plan?
Lack of access to headsets is a massive issue for the industry. I do think if people could 'try' XR easily somewhere it would help with adoption but I struggled to find anywhere around London months back where you could do that.

What is worth noting though is the Qualcomm release* last week on their XR plans. It is interesting because they are tying it to 5G. Mobile network operators who have spent billions on the infrastructure and now need to find compelling use-cases for customers are partnering up with them. This could mean you get a XR headset with your next mobile phone plan.

Dirty hack, like bumblebee? Well since driver 440.44 this kind of thing is incooperated into the nvidia driver itself. You can use it on demand. It idles at around 1w and is used for some physics and other decoding capabilities if i recall correctly. If you want to run a game or an app using nvidia you prepend it with an environment variable, otherwise intel gfx is used. It's not dirty, and works quite well imho... To make it more convenient:there are even extensions for gnome to say use nvidia with this and that app... Sure, to have the nvidia card kick in triggered by the OS somehow when really needed would be the non-plus ultra, but come on, this is science fiction :D
Do you think the french revolution happened peacefully ? Do you think the 2nd amendment is there to peacefully do thing ? Do you think slavery would have ended with peaceful protests ?

Nothing of importance is accomplished peacefully when the other side doesn't have to follow the law and is making the rules on the fly. "B-bu-but the rioters, they're bad =(" yes they are, but they're not the root cause, we have to stop shifting the blame on the very last link of the chain.

> Your right to protest, assemble, and speak does not include setting buildings with children inside on fire, murdering pawn shop owners, killing federal officers.

So what ? What's the biggest issue here ? A system rotten to the very core or people burning stuff because they are fed up of being fucked over and over again. People don't go out and get beat, shot at or tear gassed for fun, if you think they're the issues YOU are the issue. You play the exact same card as most medias, hiding the insanely huge systemic issue behind a "hey look there people are breaking stuff, how dare they!".

I can link a dozen twitter videos showing all kinds of people getting badly beat up by protestors - none of which ever made the news as it doesn't fit the progressive narrative - but I don't think its worth it. And frankly, it's not hard to find these by yourself.

Everyone now considers general violence and looting as legitimate actions in response to a crime committed by one police officer.

Floyd's death was a tragedy and Derek (the police officer) responsible must pay heavily for it - a 2nd or 3rd degree murder conviction should be handed down to set an example. That case should be scrutinised heavily - and it will be.

But I really don't understand why other people must suffer for one person's crime. The larger focus should be on the US police needing remedial training. Call up congressmen, call up senators. Rioting on the streets doesn't solve anything.
