What happened to George Floyd has happened to white people too. Tony Timpa was one such victim.[0] Another one was Joseph Hutcheson.[1] Hopefully there can finally be change in the police, so that it doesn't happen again to anyone.

Right. Value pluralism says that's not true. That you can (and do) hold many. And that we make compromises between our different values all day long every day -- within ourselves.
One side is state sanctioned, you don't see why that might be important? And I'm absolutely willing to bet that more _people_, not property have been injured by police than protesters.
I used it before Edgium came out. It was okay. I didn’t like some things chrome was doing such as that thing they did that logged you into sync without your permission. Brave was a decent choice.
> Writing also forces us to be more precise and structured than we might be when speaking, which aligns well with our core value of Thoughtfulness. This is why Amazon has its famous culture of writing memos over using Powerpoint.

Not only that but writing (instead of a Powerpoint) levels the playing field for non native English speakers. That in itself is a huge bonus for having a culture of writing, especially when you have folks from all walks of life working at Amazon.
I'm afraid it's not really very interesting - I moved to SD, it was very hot, and I wanted to make frozen treats for my dog (the Cooper of Cooper's treats). I looked up recipes, but they all had ingredients he's not a fan of, so I figured I'd make my own. Had some freeze dried meats, put those in a food processor, mixed with water and froze them. He loved them, but it was kind of a disgusting slop of a liquid at first. I played around with other ingredients to make it look/smell better, and we ended up with the flavors I have.

After that, I thought folks might want to buy these, so I had packaging and logo designs done on 99designs, set up a Shopify site, and here we are.

> Giving a huge benefit of doubt, that barely explains their initial behavior. The guy had two hands full when he was shoved. We can see that in the video.

What does it matter whether he was carrying something in his hands?

> The officers continued to get closer and closer to the man. They were approaching him. They could have kept their distance and instructed him.

He was walking towards them, as well. Even if they stopped dead in their tracks, he would have walked into them.

> But let's assume their only option was to shove him for some reason that repeated examination of the video for sure does not reveal. Now explain why they just continued walking past him, watching him bleed on the ground. Once they were safe, what is their excuse for not immediately helping the person they just injured? In fact you can clearly see that one of the police started to bend down to do something - we could assume to help the guy - and the other officer stopped him.

Because the USA is extremely litigious, and if they touched him, they could get sued. You can also see them immediately radioing for a medic. If they are so heartless and cruel, why would they have done that?

> What's the excuse for lying about the man tripping? If their actions are defensible, why did they lie at first?

There is no excuse for that, but it is understandable. Cops, heck, anybody who does anything physical to someone else, often has to face enormous consequences. Because a split second decision, the police officer was possibly facing losing his job, being sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and even jail time.
> they all walk by the guy bleeding on the ground purposefully not looking.

There's another video, slightly longer, which shows that the police stop after a few more seconds and attend to him. I think they were a bit shocked by severe consequences of the shove and uncertain for a moment (even though it was a predictable result of the heavy-handed approach that the police have been taking that somewhere something like this would happen).

What is absolutely not forgivable, though, is lying that he "tripped and fell" on the police report. And it's even more outrageous that dozens of officers are coming together to defend that egregious lie!
Yes, but the case is officially in national spotlight. There will be careers made on the way it is handled one way or another. Right now the pendulum is not on the cops'side so average politician's choice is obvious.

It will be hard to sweep it under the rug. Not impossible. Just hard.

The public is weary and between Epstein hitting Netflix and current waves of protests with all the surrounding circumstances ( brick pallets come to mind ), I would not be sure what the result would be.
Perfect. Now racists can know exactly which businesses to avoid buying from, thus hurting their businesses.

OTG worked well enough, when I was able to get the right cable (or device - there are some USB flash drives with micro-USB ports that lean on USB OTG to work).

USB-C docking stations are finally hitting the market. They're pricey, but there are some with multiple USB-A ports, USB-C ports (including data), HDMI, DisplayPort, Gig Ethernet, and 3.5mm audio jacks. There are also finally Thunderbolt docks which have thunderbolt ports that connect via USB-C. (They are even more expensive though.)

> Unfortunately, Feynman’s “room at the bottom” is no longer plentiful.

There's plenty of room at the bottom. Another million times the transistors is hardly implausible; a thousand times is practically a given.

> Although other manufacturers
continued to miniaturize—for example, with
the Samsung Exynos 9825 (8) and the Apple
A13 Bionic (9)—they also failed to meet the
Moore cadence.

This just factually isn't fair; transistor density has been on an unwavering straight line since 1970.

The article mentions the "staff’s storied annual trips to far-flung vacation spots" that were paid for by the magazine. I recall years ago hearing an interview in which one of them told the story that one year they vacationed in the Dominican Republic(?), where they had a single subscriber in the whole country. So, the entire crew showed up at his house to deliver that month's issue.
I think the problem underlying “memorize everything” is wanting to always choose the best tool/pattern/solution for the job. I think a better solution is collaborating more regularly or pairing with peers. Collectively you’ll establish tools and practices that will become second nature. I think too you’ll “memorize” what you’re supposed to do, because you don’t want to be embarrassed choosing the wrong thing!
> You clearly have some personal vendetta

How so? I cannot see any evidence.
I agree with your characterization of the police choosing brotherhood. But that setup is a bit of a straw man factory. One can have zero "absolute" moral principles, and weigh between them all with judgment and wisdom.
The issue with this essay, while it is clear in it's wording (as written by a lawyer). It's still has it's fundamental flaw. It's argument boils down to this, which the author spells out

> If the world I was living in had deep, systemic discrimination against latinos, surely I was an easy target. And yet here I am.

So many of these articles are a single person who succeeds and as a result declares racism must not exist. A personal anecdote is always convincing (as many people know), but anytime an actual rigorous statistical study of this comes up it's shows that clear systemic racism exists.

And people love to read anecdotes like this, because it's a very easy way to ease discomfort. The discomfort that shows that deep seated racism exists in the US, and that our country in a number of areas isn't doing a good job of living up to its ideals. But in the end it's an anecdote and data shows it's not the case.
I'm not sure that increasing the punishment would help. They need to actually be punished for breaking the rules. Not sometimes, but every time they break those rules.
Peaceful protests and rallies are generally legally protected by the first amendment. Just because you don't like what some group is saying doesn't mean the police get to illegally attack and disperse them. These rights exists so that minorities can protect themselves from the tyranny of the majority which is exactly what is happening right now.
thanks so much for divulging details about your strategy!

You are not responding to the comment.

It's not surprising that Americans feel 'anger is justified' however, that's very different from saying for example that 'riots' or 'protests past curfew' are supported.

"And by the way, the point of protests is not to leave when people ask you to."

No - it is absolutely not.

Neither you nor I get to decide what is lawful and what is not.

The 'rules' are a 'social contract' that we all get a say in, you don't get more of a say because you want to hold a sign up past 10 pm or block a street.

It's disturbing to read this because I don't think people grasp the real variety in American opinion out there, and what some others might want to 'protests beyond what the community wants them to'. You might find yourself on the other side of the fence.

Not only this - it's counterproductive. Things like 'million man march' do a lot more good than the Watts riots, which are both directly damaging to the community, and probably very damaging to the movement.

If the point is to 'make change' - people are losing tons of allies by stepping outside the bounds of civility. Everyone is fine with signs in parks, and possibly a march through town - beyond that, it's just bad.
What are you talking about. He decides where the money goes even when it’s in the foundation. He gets tax benefits for giving it to things considered charitable by the government.
I think jaffees humor ended up being more timeless due to being more abstract.

As a kid (mid 90s) I remember acquiring some issues from the 50s and 60s. My impression was:

1. The artwork was way more compelling in the 50s into the 70s. More detailed, literally darker, somewhat more inspired by comic books.

2. Most of the humor was absolutely foreign to me. Except jaffees stuff, which seemed timeless.

The fold ins sometimes didn't land, but some of that was too specific to events that didn't resonate.

I was a fan of Dave Bergs stuff for the same reason. His political humor generally could be made current with minor tweaks.

Also can anyone explain the longevity of these Mad stalwarts?
USB-C connector may have solved the problem with USB-A of which side is up, but as a consumer, I don't even want to do that - the 3.5mm audio connector doesn't have an 'up' or 'down', and given the smarts that USB-C requires in devices, it seems a barrel connector like the audio jack could be used for power and usb 2.0-speed data.

I have the feeling that Firefox development is a bit distanced from the real users.

It's bugzilla is quite unfriendly, and pretty much everything users wish for is already there, in a ticket that is several years old with no action taken.

An then, the next Firefox version comes with some crappy UX decision made, and it is not configurable. /r/Firefox comes up with _yet another_ userChrome.css tweak to revert it.

And the cycle continues as the user base grows thin. I wonder why.
I feel obligated to point out that, based on what I read thus far, they did not quit the force; just that particular unit ( supposedly over union not covering legal fees -- but no idea how true that is ).

Bingo, actual tolerance means accepting with people you disagree with, as long as they can do the same with you. Something like "I disagree with what you say but will defend your right to say it"

From a wonderful essay on the topic:

> The Emperor summons before him Bodhidharma and asks: “Master, I have been tolerant of innumerable gays, lesbians, bisexuals, asexuals, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, transgender people, and Jews. How many Virtue Points have I earned for my meritorious deeds?”

> Bodhidharma answers: “None at all”.

> The Emperor, somewhat put out, demands to know why.

> Bodhidharma asks: “Well, what do you think of gay people?”

> The Emperor answers: “What do you think I am, some kind of homophobic bigot? Of course I have nothing against gay people!”

> And Bodhidharma answers: “Thus do you gain no merit by tolerating them!”

I think a lot about how so many police officers are Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. How much has this experience altered departments perception of what it means to police? Or influenced to baddest actors to behave like they do?

You may need to manually tune your configs. Often, people just forget to enable HW acceleration.

Personally, Chromium crashes too often to rely on it.
The US constitution includes a bill of rights in part because social contracts are created by the majority to oppress the minority. That's basically human nature. Certain rights are outside the ability of any social contract to restrict to allow minorities protection.
So police violence is OK as long as it’s less than what the protestors do? That’s an absurd argument.

Our taxes pay their salaries, and our taxes also pay their legal settlements and fees when they get caught up killing unarmed black men and women. They live in a system fundamentally devoid of accountability. They deploy tools like tears gas and poorly tested “less lethal” ammunition that still has the ability to permanently and critically injure targets. No amount of violence against peaceful protestors should be tolerated. The police exist to protect the public, not treat them like enemy combatants.
The history sounds very interesting. Can you share any links to helpful coverage?
I don’t mean to belittle your project -

Consolidated block lists like yours are still important for people who are using the traditional etc/hosts file. I believe the Pihole project would like to focus more on the software and less on the block lists - so they include your list, which has a good track record of vetting sources and responding to issues. I also appreciate that your project has produced its own original block lists (which happen to be included on the Energized list and firebog.net).

I just wish more people would use the original source when possible.

I dislike this Energized list, partly because I had a bad experience using one of their non-primary lists which wasn’t well maintained, and partly because their website (https://energized.pro/) makes it sound like a commercial product.
> don't appreciate the fact that American police deal with people who are violent, disrespectful, and frequently mentally ill on a sometimes daily basis.

Lots of people have difficult stressful jobs dealing with people who don’t have much respect for them. That’s not an excuse for criminality, though. Take medical professionals. In the public mind, there are few things more horrifying and reprehensible than the doctor or nurse who deliberately kills or neglects their patients. There’s pretty much universal agreement that this is not okay, and that it is in fact a morally worse crime than normal murder or neglect, as it is done by someone in a position of trust. It should be the same for police.
This is misleading.

You do not have the right to block traffic, march down the street etc. as an expression of your 1st amendment rights. You literally need a permit for most of that.

If the city puts down a curfew, you don't have any '1st Amendment rights' there either.

"doesn't mean the police get to illegally attack and disperse them."

Much of what we are seeing is not a legal expression of 1st Amendment rights at all, in which case breaking it up is not remotely illegal.

Some of it may be though.

I’d settle for 1x the sentence of a normal citizen. Right now they can literally get away with murder. Not to mention infractions like drinking and driving and speeding, that they let each other off for.
What you are saying does not go against what people are complaining about. No one is out in the streets complaining that the economy sucks or that their education opportunities are too limited (although every single metric says that blacks are very unfairly disadvantaged here across all walks of life) - they’re saying that black people in America are still not treated as equals in one-on-one interactions and in particular when the police are involved. A black kid playing in the street shouldn’t be shot because the cop thought he was a gangbanger. Finding a counterfeit twenty on someone that probably had no clue it was counterfeit in the first place should not result in their execution. And the chances that a cop would ignore a dozen people screaming at them to stop literally killing someone just are not the same when the individual in question is black instead of white.

The fact is, while all the other metrics may have improved, the police force in lots of major cities are still White Boys Clubs, police unions are bastions of corruption, racism is the norm, and incidents are constantly swept under the rug.

This statement seems unfair. It is on par with people pointing out that white people did not start to riot after their guy was killed. It does not help the conversation at all. It is unnecessary race baiting.

TL;DR:

A predatory business model based primarily on large companies exploiting legal technicalities to seek rent from innovators has been rendered obsolete because the large companies couldn't get their act together and the innovators did a better job anyway.

Efforts to co-ordinate those large companies in those exploits are probably now doomed, as are the organisations behind them.

The future almost certainly belongs to open standards and the community, though someone who has built their career around the old business model isn't happy about it.
