I'm not asking for "perfection". I'm asking for an avenue to reprimand bad cops.

We all know bad cops exist. The problem is that we cannot get these bad cops fired or otherwise thrown out of the police force.

> I am certainly no fan of no-knock warrants though. There are processes than can be fixed.

I'm not even asking for no-knock warrants to be banned. The underlying issue is far more severe. We need JUSTICE. We need someone to accept responsibility for Briana Taylor's unnecessary death.

Who issued the no-knock warrant? Who was the Lieutenant in charge of the operation? Where is the police body cam footage? Why were the officers in plainclothes instead of their uniforms? Why is so much information seemingly missing about this botched operation?

--------

The best the family of Birana Taylor is able to do under these circumstances... is file a "Wrongful Death" claim against the police department. If they win the court case... the taxpayers of Kansas will pay for the death, while the officers who were in charge of the operation will be let onto the streets again without any real repercussions.

THAT is the problem. There's no mechanism of feedback what so ever. The "bad cops" remain on payroll, and will continue to make the same mistakes in some future case.
A subreddit dedicated to a figure that is radicalizing and openly suggests violence it goes hate, violence, and racism can come from there.

And freedom of speech need not tolerate death threats.
Recently I was thinking about how my brain answers the question "What's your favorite movie?" and how I can easily answer that question, but it's harder to answer a question like "What's your favorite movie where a gun is fired?"

It seems to me that whenever I watch a movie, if I really liked it, I check my perceived quality of the movie against the quality of my current favorite movie, and if the new movie beats the old favorite, I update the "favorite movie" pointer to point to the new movie. When someone asks "What's your favorite movie?" I just return the name of whatever the favorite_movie points to.

The question of "Favorite movie where a gun is shot" is much harder, I think, because my memories aren't really indexed that way. I can't query by "gun is shot" so I can't get the subset of movies I've seen with gun shots and pick my favorite.

To me, it seems like my brain, at least for movies, has something of a key value store, which I can scan, slowly and imperfectly, but not query with complex questions. Or, maybe, if the queries are too complex they timeout and I don't get back any results.
> TD was always an explicitly pro-Trump subreddit.

Are you saying "smear campaigns against survivors of a school shooting" is explicitly pro-Trump?
KIA is undeniably vile. If you don't consider it vile I'm not sure what that word even means.
Radical dietary change can lead to huge differences in experiential quality of life and sleep as well.

Chronic dietary inflammation (which just means foods that your body doesn't like) can have a whole host of subtle effects you would never notice until they are absent.
This is possible in Linux using v4l2loopback and gphoto2.
A rite of passage.
Can you facetime with it? or skype? :)
Or posts and content that have an agenda behind them are popular and naturally end up on the front page. I see a lot of speculation about reddit being manipulated and no evidence of such manipulation being posted.
Thanks -- I've been really bummed that they left 6D Mk. 1 owners out in the cold on this one.

Does anyone know of a similar linux app that works over USB rather than HDMI?
I really enjoy hearing all the old Windows 95 sound effects again.
The black panthers had several armed marches.. and one reason why they took up arms was because they kept getting (illegally) arrested for marching unarmed. They actually sat at the California courthouse while armed.. and everything that day was peaceful. That did inspire Reagan to pass significant gun control laws though, both as Governor and President.

And yet in Vallejo this week a Latino man was shot for suspicion of having a gun in his pocket (not a crime) which turned out to be a hammer (also not a crime).
I've wondered that, too. Between my insurance company and me, we spent a combined $1000 on deciding whether I should get one. That's more than a low-end unit costs.
Power to the Protest
Statement from Chief Investigators of the RECOVERY Trial on Hydroxychloroquine
I had been excited about the iCE40 and was planning to get a dev kit, entirely because of the toolchain. Now that they are intentionally crippling the ecosystem the community was so gracious to create for them, there is no reason to even look into their products. I already have other devices that are locked down to all hell, and im not going to invest in using a new vendor unless they can be trusted to be better at a fundamental level.
The argument by most seems to be not "get rid of all police and then nothing", but rather to replace it as much as possible from the ground up. Which might very well mean re-allocating resources and removing responsibilities from police, e.g. around mental health, but not getting rid all law enforcement. Phrased this way and not as a "reform" because they believe attempting to reform the existing system slowly won't work.
Usenet was the original "reddit."
I have a report to work on, and this just took over my life.

Thanks!
IANAD, and this is just what I do:

PM:
Magnesium (multiple forms), melatonin, l-theanine.
AM:
Vitamin D (from sun preferably) in the AM, moderate exercise 5 days/week

Diet: keto / low-carb

Also:
Get checked for sleep apnea.
Use Oura or a similar sleep tracker, preferably find a good one for SpO2 (Oura does not)

Good luck. Finding good sleep in modern society is hard.
> "we don't need police, abolish them

I think it's important to not conflate this movement with the defund movement, which merely points at the for example 6 billion dollar NYPD budget and says "is this really necessary?"

Furthermore, the "abolish" movement comes with its own subtleties, that don't necessarily mean "all cops gone tomorrow." An easy exercise to illustrate this to yourself: you can imagine that an alt-right 2a gunsrights activist wearing milita patches, body armor, and holding a rifle, while chanting "abolish the police," has a very different idea in their head of what that means from a liberal social-democrat holding a "black lives matter" sign and chanting "abolish the police," can't you?

Here's a good article: https://bostonreview.net/law-justice/derecka-purnell-what-do...
Zoom is a verb.

sorting by controversial is usually much more interesting anyway. top comments on reddit are almost always a meaningless quip that echoes the message of whatever is being shared.
Thanks for this, very helpful. I had no idea Ohanian was the root cause of that incident.
The pandemic won't go away in a few months, but cases are trending significantly downwards. I think it's fair to predict that mass gatherings will be much safer in August than they are today.
It's definitely a hard problem. I definitely don't agree that companies need to host speech. Freedom of speech also means freedom from compelled speech.

I think a good boundary is to define whether an entity is actually hosting speed or providing general communications services. Platforms like facebook are the latter. Comments and photos exist on their servers, and they have a right not to host speech they don't want. But things like DNS providers are more akin to paper produces in your analogy.

And things like banking services are a whole different story. I see no reason why they shouldn't be regarded as utilities like telecoms, mail carriers, etc. I think banks have to honor checks. Maybe there's a startup idea in letting people send paper checks through the mail via an app?
Thanks, Jeff.

There's a weird trick that our brains play on us when the light comes from somewhere other than the north, the ridges and valleys look inverted.

There's been some research on this and the consensus is that sunlight coming from the northwest is best for making the terrain appear "natural".

If you rotate the map 180, you'll see what I mean. The deep gully coming down Shastina looks like a ridge, for example.

While we are printing these on-off, there is a fair bit of work involved in generating the source images: generating hillshade layers, photoshopping the results, etc, so I'm afraid we can't do custom lighting and colors right now.
A 128 bit random plaintext is more than secure enough...

If you're trying to argue that the user puts in, say, 60 bits of entropy, and that the hashing algorithm is going to accidentally throw out 10 of those to result in 50 bits of entropy, I believe that any hashing algorithm that did that in a way that anyone can exploit with realistic computing power (a computer smaller than the size of the solar system) would be considered irredeemably broken.
It helps them sell the deal. Like a secret weapon,as opposed to a liability.
Is that one any good? Trying to find satisfying VR games after play Alyx is tough.
The approved comments are actually the extreme ones. Eg.: Post: "After 10 years of marriage, today my husband didn't say good morning back to me. Is that normal?". Comments:"OMG the monster is probably planning to kill you, you must leave him at once and ruin his life."
Working in Jira and (especially) Asana always feels like working on a VNC share of the person in charge's cluttered desktop-covered-in-folders organizational system. Everything's hard to find and I'm afraid to touch anything for fear I'll accidentally drag something somewhere then not be able to find it again to put it back.

Except it's that plus 1.5GB of memory use and a few tens of a % of a processor core.

[EDIT] and I've found that to be true when working for people so good at using the software that they made popular training videos for it, not just morons who don't know how they work.
i know it to be truth. if you go down deep enough (talking elementary particle deep) everything is discrete.
The intro to deep learning using tensorflow is great. It made a lot more stuff click for me than fast.ai.
No, it suggests the masses are idiots. Nothing more and certainly nothing new.
This is an interesting idea, but I wonder to what extent this view is only possible for people who aren't explicitly persecuted for their identity. How can you keep your "identity" small if it's written on your skin or on your marriage documents? Should these people simply disassociate from their identities?

I think as a general principle it's probably good to minimize your public-facing identity, however, the reductionism and broad generalization make this argument much weaker and misses the point about why people get so upset about identity.
And even if you're young, if you find yourself waking up at night with your heart racing, excessive snoring, etc, get it checked out. I got a CPAP machine at 20, and it's hard to overstate the impact. You can even just straight up buy them these days and adjust the settings yourself, sometimes the insurance premium on the sleep study is as high as the cost of the machine.
This is 100% what would have happen, and Fox News would air this endlessly.

This would make the SV and "the left" look worse and more political, including in the eyes of fairly moderate people.
Reform and abolish seem too nuanced to me in this case. You want the police to be something completely different from what it is today.

Tearing down a house and building a car with the materials doesn't make a new house.
That the police are more of a threat to criminals to specific subsets of the population is absolutely, unquestionably, factually true. There is more than enough personal attestation to the experiences of black and queer people (including those who otherwise have privilege in some ways) in the US with police to say this with confidence.

They aren't to you perhaps.

And again, when people call for abolition of the police they are not talking about leaving a complete vacuum of every function they serve in society. They are calling for dismantling police departments completely and replacing their functions in society with other, more directly capable, social systems. You may want to actually read some of what's been written on the topic instead of having a knee jerk reaction that assumes the worst.
I genuinely thought this was about controlling the cameras zoom function remotely.
Wait seriously?

If you don’t mind can you share what the disease/effects are and why you think it’s caused by lack of sleep when younger?
It seems to me that there is a higher correlation with living in poor densely-populated areas than there is with race. E.g if I move to one of the areas more harmed by pollution I wouldn't be exempt because of my lighter skin color. I've always thought it's odd to call it environmental racism when race isn't the causal factor.
If TLS is broken, the world has bigger problems. And then they could simply intercept the session cookie either way.
Along these same lines, I've heard from clients that during the pandemic they started to magically hit their diversity hiring numbers now that they judge applicants on their performance rather than how much they "like" them.

Remote interviews have leveled the playing field and forced them to make more objective decisions about who to hire. Suddenly there is no "pipeline problem"...
James Nestor’s new book ‘Breath’ may be useful to you if you suffer from fitful sleep. His research into and experiments with breathing may give you some easy fixes to help improve your sleep.
There are upsides to being on the right side of history. One of which is that people and organizations who are decent or want to appear decent will support you.

Objectivity is fundamentally at odds with "political balance" in the sense of equal time or space being given to left- or right-wing content, because reality has a liberal bias.
The more obvious lever here seems to be money.

What you are suggesting is very round-about -- somehow slack is so useful that, by denying police its use, they will see the error of their ways?

Where does this end? We could also make them wear boots that are 5 pounds each, and use cars that randomly refuse to start 10% of the time. What is the point?

As for my own thoughts on top...

In US-ASCII, case insensitivity is easy. Outside of that, your operating system kernel has to have opinions on "Ö" being the upper-case "ö" and so on. But why stop there? Should "Ö" be considered the same thing as "O"? How about Ø? Or O with diaeresis[1], which looks exactly the same as "Ö" but is in fact a different character? How about Cyrillic O vs Latin O?

But that also means that your kernel now has to have opinions about filename encoding. Maybe someone will come up with an idea so obviously superior to UTF-8 that it'll supersede it just as UTF-8 ate everything else, or maybe nobody will. What I am glad about, is that filename encoding wasn't baked into Unix in the 1970s, or indeed at any time prior to about 1993.

So, your operating system needs knowledge of all of Unicode and to care about filename encoding for...what gain? It's only weird if your previous experiences with operating systems tell you that it is weird, and calling it weird is not the same thing as being an actual usability problem.

In fact, as witnessed by the fact we're capitalising the first letters of our sentences in our comments, I would argue that case sensitivity is the default in normal writing (the word "it" being a fine example; if I had said "IT" you would have read the sentence differently), and so if anything's weird and counter-intuitive it's treating case as irrelevant.

You see this happening constantly on Twitter. You see unverified accounts with one or two followers having tweets that are trending within a few minutes with tens of thousands of "likes" and thousands of "retweets" and Twitter doesn't even blink an eye, but its so blatantly obvious what's happening.
Is there something like this but for GoPros?
Can you provide some references to the more egregious articles?
Well you won't exactly become Kottke overnight. Blogging requires that you build the habit of blogging. I like to write on an airgapped machine to trial out some posts before they go live to the masses.

If my post looks good, then I move it off the airgapped machine to my main device where I upload it to my Ghost instance and then seen by thousands, or even millions if it gets picked up by other bloggers/news outlets who would amplify your message and spread it far and wide.

Providing you have monetized it, you can generate revenue, although to really earn properly from it you would need a small staff of writers and master Commission Junction / Amazon Associates and you would need to consistently churn out well written high quality posts and also build your audience organically over time.
All the examples are just "sets represented as circles". Quite basic.

Oops sorry. Was referring to the above about mobile operator politics, and lobbying power. Mobile operators like to think of themselves as the only ones owning and operating services on IMT spectrum.

The idea of being able to deliver a full mobile service to mobile phones is "sellable" - operators like to think of themselves as being the only ones able to provide the service people expect to a mobile handset. Then they can bundle handsets with service provision.

If you are interested in this topic, it's worth looking at the fraught relationship between mobile operators and WiFi. Operators historically rejected WiFi from handsets early on - WiFi was a rival to their high-price, high-margin mobile data services. Until perhaps the mid-3G days, when the idea of using WiFi for offload, due to the limited spectrum for mobile data started to become a tempting idea for operators.

Even that's controversial - the "enterprise" market around WiFi wasn't hugely keen on that either, since they felt the mobile operators were just trying to snap up and freeload on the license-exempt spectrum for extra capacity, and use up (finite) WiFi spectrum capacity while providing an operator-badged service.

In my view, Multefire hasn't taken off due to the general high complexity of the tech stack people would need to understand to use it (fine for me with a telecoms engineering background, less fine if you are from the pure IT world and just want something quick - it's a lot more effort and complexity than setting up a couple of WiFi APs), and the lack of pressure from mobile operators to support it. Handset support for features comes from operator demand/desire. Multefire isn't something handset makers will add, unless operators demand it. Absent that, it risks alienating or upsetting them, by opening up the handsets to competition, and since operators are the main route to market for your handsets, market dictates the rules...
Circulation of pro-inflammatory compounds, I'd assume.
While I decline to specifically endorse that logic at this time, I don't think it is necessarily is in conflict with your observation. The crowd dynamics of protestors protesting after curfew and of that of looters may be quite different: one crowd, versus many smaller groups dispersed in the city, spreading out, with a mix of protesting and opportunistic looting (sometimes in the same group and sometimes not).
Newer iPhones support band 42 TDD, which is 3400 to 3600 MHz. The amateur radio 9 cm band in the US is 3300 to 3500 MHz, so you could have a setup contained in single ham band. However, the open source eNodeB products typically don't support TDD.
That's the one consolation to those of us in the maddeningly expensive US system. You can usually find someone who will get you scheduled in very short order.

Don't let the wait deter you. If you do need the machine, it can really improve your life.
There are plenty of similarly moderated subreddits on Reddit that no one complains about. It’s easier when you can just ban all political content that gets out of hand because the forum is not focused on politics.
Sure, throw your money in near all time highs with all this going on. Good luck with that.
Where is the line between driven and desperate?
I’m sure there’s truth to it, but there are 800k police officers in the US. Are you ready to condemn the entire profession because of a handful of bad experiences?
You're never gonna solve it with 100% veracity. But look, if irjustin smart contract got created in less than 24 hours and posted the fake photo or video with no prior reputation and also the video lacks hardware signatures then you've got the markers to establish trustworthiness. That should give people enough reason to doubt it.
In which way is banking behind? Within EU, you can transfer money for free. You can automate your monthly payments or let companies draw the money. What else is there to offer?
That is a very succinct summary, yes. I’ll add that certain applications are more amenable to one kind of use or another.

I find the possibility of re-interpretation utterly bewildering. I have never re-interpreted my data in Clojure application, at least not in any way that I understand that word. Rewrite algorithms, yes, but you can do that in any language.

The only time I think of re-interpreting data in a different context is in a data lake or similar, which is a wildly different thing, IMHO.

I haven't tried it yet but this could be an absolute godsend for people like me - in my head I can "see" a diagram, but I can't draw anything more than a cube.
Not in the standard regime of finite state machines. If you allow for infinite continuous state machines and infinitesimal steps, then it’s no problem. Every classical mechanical system is fully specified by positions and velocities. Transitions follow Newtonian mechanics. Every non-relativistic isolated quantum system is specified by the wave function and the transitions follow the Schrödinger equation.

That makes the hash of the user's password equivalent to a plain text password. And that means all those leaked databases, which previously only contained hashes that needed to be bruteforced to be reversed, suddenly function as a source of plaintexts.
