I saw that video. The guy clearly shuffled in place. He did not step back, and therefore did not obey the cop's order.
Censorship is now widespread, banking and communications are now under total and constant surveillance.

Dissent groups are immediately infiltrated and quickly disbanded or redirected by the state (Tea Party, Occupy, Wikileaks, and presumably soon BLM).

All new vehicles and telephones come with surveillance and tracking technology (for the phones, by law) that the state has declared authority to bulk wiretap and store forever.

The US is in the longest war of its history, and support for these large-scale mass murder efforts, as well as the ubiquitous surveillance both domestically and abroad, is widespread and bipartisan.

Finally, and perhaps most depressingly, the US is now running a set of concentration camps in the south. Several of them are holding children by the hundreds.

There is no way out, as I see it. All of the meaningful methods of dissent have been outlawed or will result in violence being immediately deployed against you.

As far as I can tell, the only peaceful method of coping with it is to immediately move to another country.
I see this as a passive aggressive question, not a question to promote discussion. You ask a question to which no one would answer NO. Yet you imply that by not making a public statement, YC's default answer is NO. Hence tricking them into follow suit like the firms you listed to do the same.
Yeah, that would be interesting, no doubt, no doubt, but thankfully that's not the standard the parent poster said. "...the US forces use" refers to the unique militarized "warrior" ethos and the cast-off military equipment found in US police departments.

I think the directive came to not use Huawei, and the telecoms structured it as “ok, we just won’t select Huawei” instead of “Gov bans Huawei”.
> But the vast majority of these altercations come from after a group has been declared a riot

This is typically after police have antagonized the situation and created it through tactics like kettling and surrounding protesters and then throwing grenades of tear gas and misusing rubber bullets in potentially lethal ways on nonviolent crowds.

"declared a riot" is political speak for when the police don't like a protest and begin attacking.
As a Canadian, we have shared values and programmes between our nations in addition to us being neighbours. China on the other hand is a known enemy of those values and seeks actively to undermine our values. That's enough reason for me to support not having Huawei or any other chinese organization controlling any part of our infrastructure.
This is simply untrue. When you look up the topic on the posession of stolen goods, you'll quickly find out that you have to know that they've been stolen for it to be illegal[1]. If you don't believe me, take a good look at the US law[2]. Notice how it contains the phrase "knowing the same to have been stolen."

> Just FYI, the menu photos on Yelp are not guaranteed to be up to date, either

That's true, but rare. If there are no recent photos of the menu, then there's a good chance not many people eat there.

In any case, Grubhub menus are probably more likely to be inaccurate than those photos.
I only realized this late, but they were careful never to say they worked for the hotel. I called again, almost like I had understood the end of a movie, and replayed the conversation with a new call.

Me: "Hi I'm trying to reach Marriott at Fisherman's Wharf, do I have the right number"

Them: "I can help you with that" (note the evasive answer)

Me: "Great, I have an Accenture corporate discount and this is for work, can you use corporate code XYZ123"

Them: "I dont see that on my system" (not a lie I suppose, but definitely not the truth)

Me: "OK well i have a client engagement Tues-Thurs and I need to book ASAP, what is your best rate? Do you have a AAA rate?"

Them: "You're lucky I can lock you in at {absurdly high price} - can i have your credit card"
Some packages use git for maintaining the packaging, but the Debian archive and build servers are still based on Debian source packages (.dsc files).
What do you think would be a better price point?
there was no internet or social media back then. Different times.
Some rewrites can be easy because a better technology exists that makes it easy. For example, you might have a NoSQL DB with lots of hand-rolled queries, and then you get a query language for it, so now you can rewrite a great deal of code. You still hand-roll transactions because eventual consistency, CAP, and all that, but then you get a SQL DB that... gives you all of that anyways but with good ole SQL (with eventual consistency, not ACID, but hey, CAP), so now you can rewrite the queries and the transactions, and maybe that's the lion's share of the app, so you've essentially rewritten the app. What about the REST layer? Well, you get inspired by PostgREST and write a similar tool for your new DB and there's nothing left of the original.
Oh, so you're giving up on that first piece of propaganda you linked to?

Let's see what you've linked to this time ..

Ok, the video starts, and the very first frame of what you see is police going hands on with people. The very first frame. Absolutely zero context of what led up to it.

This is a good start! It's not selectively edited at all, with absolutely zero context given, no rationale given to explain why the police were doing what they were doing, just the message that "police bad! look at police hurt people!"

Now let's look some more .. there's a group of cops dispersing a crowd that was obviously declared a riot, ordered to disperse, and failed to do so. The journalists are some of these people that are refusing lawful commands to disperse.

The cops have no idea who they are, even if they do have a camera, they're dressed like rioters, have nothing that identifies them as journalists except a camera, and lots of people have cameras, and the main one that's "attacked" is hiding behind a pillar and refusing to disperse as cops go by physically removing people from the area.

Man, that's so horrible. A guy that physically refused to obey lawful commands, and stuck around and didn't move when a riot was being dispersed, got physically kicked out. Man, that's the end of the world right there. There's nothing that any of them could have done to prevent the situation. The police are just dehumanized power hungry murderers.
I believe black lives matter in the grand scheme of things. I don't care about the group, if anything they've only done harm to their cause.

Due to recent events and seeing all the footage coming out, I can say it has all proved the value of the 2nd amendment. So many cases where innocent bystanders are simply at the mercy of rioters and looters and cops not being allowed to act due to fear of racism accusations and sparking more violence. On the other hand, there are also cases where people with guns were able to defend themselves and their businesses from these streetwalking ghouls.

Just wanted to know why protests are still continuing? Aren't Police involved with the incident are charged?
> They may have overreacted, but

No. They overreacted. No may have. No buts. Police agencies must have greater accountability, not less.
That's if you want 4 lines.

Check out the top div on that page, you'll see they conveniently want to sign up both you and everyone you know to qualify for that rate. I priced it for a single line in both the US and Canada. With that in mind TMo is a huge outlier in the US, too, and John Legere is responsible for singlehandedly dragging AT&T and VZW kicking and screaming into the 21st century of pricing over the last 5-6 years.

They also have far and away the worst network in the US, trust me, I've used them for years -- and love them. Their network is still hot garbage though. Frankly the best TMobile network you can get is when you roam onto Rogers, Bell or Telus in Canada.
> the bulk of the injustices against the Indians were done by the states

Maybe, and maybe that means that the Japanese internment was worse then anything the federal government did to the Native Americans.

I mean, it's not like native Americans were forcibly relocated from their homes into federally designated lands for a handful of years like the Japanese... oh, wait...
Most Grubhub and Doordash restaurants don't do delivery.

When I say "they don't do delivery", I mean the restaurant doesn't do delivery. DD or GH provide the service to you. But if you call the restaurant directly, they'll tell you they don't do it on their own.

Which was the context of this conversation ("Why don't people directly call the restaurants instead of using GH?").

It's called abuse of power. Police should be enforcing laws, not their own will. Police 100% cannot tell people to do anything. The issue is the law is not good at defining these things, leading to this exact issue of mass scale police brutality. If you think the police have that much latitude in their power, you're missing the entire point of the protests.
Absolutely. It's great hearing tales of people who used and loved Smalltalk.

I'm pushing back against anyone repeating the received wisdom "zomg genius! it was too good to live in this fallen world" without having ever used it.

I don't pretend to be a sample size greater than one, but I think it's worth noting that, in this batch of comments, if you only count the people who used Smalltalk, and not the people who saw an old Alan Kay interview on Youtube, you're likely to be somewhere south of n=20.

The cops seem to have a low threshold for using it.

There was a video where a bunch of riot police were riding on the outside of an SUV. One fell off of it to the ground, got back up turned around and pepper sprayed behind him, even though there was no one behind him. There was no one moving towards him or even near him.

> Protest is legal, and ignoring a "lawful police order" is also legal. The police can't just tell people what to do.

This is a pretty thin hair to split. The police can’t ‘tell you what to do’, but the law can and part of the job of the police is to communicate and enforce the law.

Anyone going to a protest is definitely advised to understand their rights at the local, state and federal level so you can differentiate between the two.
Logical Components in Blockchain
I respect your opinion but...

If the police were not there my life would have been at imminent risk. And if the police show up their lives are at imminent risk. So the cops have to show up and they have to wear riot gear.

I've had to live with months of protest downtown. People protesting to release prisoners because of coronavirus. People protesting to lift the coronavirus lock downs. In those cases there was no riot gear. Minimal police presence. When Friday's protest came around it immediately felt different. The people were much more angry and much more hostile.

People were looking at the Minneapolis riots with envy. People were shouting about the righteous cause of riots and looting. "Its the language of the unheard." Despite noble protestations that they were only going to loot the wealthy corporations with fat insurance contracts, they ended up looting everything. They ended up shooting each other far from police lines. They ended up burning police cars that were parked far away from police lines. They lit buildings on fire that could have very easily spread to neighboring apartment buildings.

You said:

> nothing about CPDs behavior looked like "keep people safe"

I disagree. "People" are more than just the rioters. They are rioters. They are residents in the immediate area. They are residents outside the immediate area who were spared the carnage by virtue of CPD's actions.

You can talk all you want about "subtle escalations". But truth be told anything the "authorities" do will be considered an escalation because the mob is not rational. It is primed to perceive anything and everything as a reason to execute its collective will.
> Is keeping this stuff up to date actually difficult.

They usually have a zillion things to do, and this has a very low ROI. The impact to their bottom line is negligible whether they update or not. Not many people will refuse to use their business because they can't bother to update Google/Yelp/etc.

They usually do it if there's a permanent change in hours, though.
I would be curious about the underprovisioned thing... that's very possible. I travel to the US frequently (well before the world turned upside-down) and I would say in 8/10 US cities I visit I experience frustratingly worse cell coverage than I do at home. Slow speeds, call drops, etc. This isn't just on my personal phone but also on all of the cellular devices we bring with us. (we provide equipment for trade-shows, etc. and much of it runs 4G). I hadn't considered network provisioning as a possible cause of this.
In my experience you can find plentiful examples of similar behaviour among people in general. Take any culture-war-themed thread here on HN and marvel at the extensive collection of knowledge and facts people have on the subject, often extending well into unknowable regions that require omniscience, mind reading, future gazing, etc.

Human beings seem to be highly intuitive thinkers, but you may not notice it much in environments with low variance in core values and beliefs.

But just so I'm not misunderstood, I don't disagree that conspiracy oriented communities seem to have an unusually high percentage of people who are highly open to new and speculative ideas, and are mostly extremely tolerant of diversity of thought. I don't think it's necessarily as bad as it's made out to be, I think they provide some legitimate value to society, although whether it is net beneficial I'm not entirely sure.
If there's literally hundreds of videos out there (which is probably an exaggeration for the time period given, but regardless there are plenty), there's no need to publish lies or Twitter hearsay. Sticking to publishing solid evidence makes criticisms like the GP's totally irrelevant. I'm on the side of the protests, but really to change minds you need to be concise and accurate in reporting. Quality > Quantity if quantity means you're not filtering garbage.
Intro to Ps Command
Yeah, I can't find anything like that on google scholar. The specific claim I find surprising is that it's possible to make a futures market that is resistant to manipulation at all, even in only one direction. I kinda suspect it's going to come down to a non-standard definition of the word "resistant", but if that's not the case it's bound to be interesting.
That's not taking into account geography, though. The entirety of the coverage in Iceland is along a thin ring of highway that encircles the island, and a big dense infill in Reykjavik. It's not the same at all.

I'd bet pricing would be comparable if Bell's network just extended along the Trans Canada Highway, and in each major city. Even that's not a fair comparison since Iceland is literally encircled, so you never need to drive more than half the length to get between any two points.
Do you really see cops like this?

The Coming Collapse (2018)
Not really. CS is banned by a technicality. An irritant gas is hard to distinguish from a lethal one and easily swapped if chemical delivery systems are already present on the battlefield.

CS is quite useless against a conventional force because all modern armies are equipped with protective masks in case the other side does use chemical or biological weapons.
Who cut out the context? Who is this 'they'? Is there a conspiracy to cut out the video context when there are a large number of individual people recording things as they occur from multiple angles?

It seems like you're the one conveniently leaving out facts while behaving disingenuous as all get out. 'Context' in this case doesn't exist for arguments such as yours, because the goal posts will always be conveniently moved backwards until some shred of evidence is found to justify the police behavior.

This isn't a case of looking at a map and population count whatsoever. It's an incredibly moot point when you look at where 95% of people live in both countries.
Great question! I considered it, but I wasn't able to find a clear answer whether it was secure or not. If somebody had access to the tracker backend or were inspecting the DHT traffic, would they be able to download the files without the original .torrent file?

Not really sure what your point is regarding 'vast majority'. How many people's lives are acceptable to endanger?

Many authors are their own publishers. Writing (and most arts) pays so little because society values their work so little. We seem to value a decent novel at about $5. An author already sees about $0.50-$1 of that. Respected, well reviewed, award winning (but not best selling) authors I know would still be hard up earning a living wage even if their income increased tenfold by them getting 100% of the proceeds.
> How do glasses form?

Reminds me of cool paper (i think) from one folks I worked with describes in the abstract[0]:

"We describe numerical simulations and analyses of a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) model of glassy dynamics. In this model, hard rods undergo Brownian dynamics through a series of narrow channels connected by J intersections. We do not allow the rods to turn at the intersections, and thus there is a single, continuous route through the system. This Q1D model displays caging behavior, collective particle rearrangements, and rapid growth of the structural relaxation time, which are also found in supercooled liquids and glasses. The mean-square displacement Σ(t) for this Q1D model displays several dynamical regimes: 1) short-time diffusion Σ(t)∼t, 2) a plateau in the mean-square displacement caused by caging behavior, 3) single-file diffusion characterized by anomalous scaling Σ(t)∼t0.5 at intermediate times, and 4) a crossover to long-time diffusion Σ(t)∼t for times t that grow with the complexity of the circuit. We develop a general procedure for determining the structural relaxation time tD, beyond which the system undergoes long-time diffusion, as a function of the packing fraction ϕ and system topology. This procedure involves several steps: 1) define a set of distinct microstates in configuration space of the system, 2) construct a directed network of microstates and transitions between them, 3) identify minimal, closed loops in the network that give rise to structural relaxation, 4) determine the frequencies of `bottleneck' microstates that control the slow dynamics and time required to transition out of them, and 5) use the microstate frequencies and lifetimes to deduce tD(ϕ). We find that tD obeys power-law scaling, tD∼(ϕ∗−ϕ)−α, where both ϕ∗ (signaling complete kinetic arrest) and α>0 depend on the system topology. "

But yeah, so much amazing things out there, I could read and think about stuff forever lol

1. You are never going to agree because your beliefs are fundamentally misaligned. Since you believe police retaliation is warranted when targets are breaking the law, you will simply excuse violence upon protesters when:

>[Protesters] physically refused to obey lawful commands.

You may or may not be aware, but that’s typically what protest via assembly means.

2. You are replying to a different person. If you’re going to be so condescending and rude at least employ due diligence in identifying who you’re replying to. Or, preferably, just stop being so rude and condescending.
Seeing US police act almost make me believe French BAC is a peacefull police force trained for violence deescalation.

The police have limited powers to uphold the law, including things like arresting murderers. They don't have the power to arbitrarily order people to do whatever they want. If an officer asks you to do something when you're not committing a crime or endangering anyone you are allowed to say no.

For all Americans talk about having rights and freedom you do seem incredibly quick to give them up in the face of authority.
