I think everyone is missing the big point here: they current implementation was in an untyped language and so refactoring was just to hard. Use languages with good type systems and then refactoring is easy, and always the correct technical choice.

Let me say that again, the killer app of type systems is that no mistake can "total" the code.
So just roll the dice that you’re not going to hurt anyone by blocking traffic? Who’s responsible if something does go wrong? That’s going to really help the cause.
Probably a bit of a controversial opinion but in some cases I can sympathize with the police officers. The reality is that the vast majority of them likely condemn the events around George Floyd's death. They are also regular people with families, children and friends they have to provide for. And they have the exact same problems that many of us do. Their daily work involves keeping things in order, which is something I respect. That said, the first video I opened at random[1] shows a small number of people blocking a road in what looks more like a civil war scene rather than a protest. And the authorities are greeted with "F-U" and people tossing objects at them. The people in uniforms are ordinary people. Put yourself in their shoes and tell me: having all the problems you have, seeing all the destruction, which in all cases is no longer a protest, people shouting "f-u" and throwing stuff at you: You can be the most mentally stable human being but everyone has a limit. Many of those men are possibly working overtime, in extreme conditions and I bet they would much rather be with their kids or sick parents for instance. With this idea in mind, I personally can't picture myself being able to remain calm and not overstep my boundaries sooner or later.

Now putting myself in the shoes of the protesters: seeing the same destruction, destroying of properties, cars and businesses, I'll call it a day because this is no longer a protest. I'd go back home and wait for this to be taken care of and join a civilized protest once this has been taken care of. A civilized country should be able to hold a civilized protest. And having spent most of my life in eastern Europe, you can say I know a thing or two about protests. Last large protest I was a part of was in ~2013 irrc and the aftermath was very different. The night after each of those protests, everything was spotless clean, people thew all their garbage in the bins, nothing broken or destroyed. People were coming with their children and pets and being completely comfortable with it. There was a completely unrelated incident of a gas explosion at a Chinese restaurant, which burned a nearby shop. People gathered donations fo the shop owner to recover. Incidents with police? Practically none during ~3 months of daily protest. And we are talking eastern Europe - the police officers are anything but the nicest people on the planet.

Huh? These are private citizens monitoring the police, which is pretty much the opposite of the Chinese surveillance you’re referring to. In fact it’s pretty much an antimetabole (“In the United States, people spy on cops!”).
Considering that police are being beaten badly and some killed attempting to stop
"protestors", I think it's not surprising that many have chosen to do nothing. Better safe than sorry.

Actually, there are dozens of different videos showing police being badly beaten as they attempt to stop vandalism. They just don't make the news as this isn't "progressive".

It's more common than you think though. I know of restaurants that change their menus daily or weekly. Most don't, but you will run into it if you eat at enough places, and I highly doubt someone is going to post a new photo of the menu every week.

This is not quite right.

51% lets you rewrite arbitrarily-deep history, limited only by how much time you're willing to spend on the attack. You have more hash strength than the rest of the network combined! You pick some ancient block and start building blocks off of it, and the very definition of a 51% attack is that your new fork will eventually outgrow the "real" fork.

Double spends are possible well before 51%. Even a 10% attacker has the ability to (sometimes) double-spend. A 10% attacker can try to double-spend transactions and has a certain chance of being able to. The chance of success decreases exponentially, the deeper in the chain the target transaction is. However, for a high-enough value transaction, attempting to double spend it can have a higher EV than the mining revenue you lose out on by mining honestly.

Can somebody articulate why using huawei a bad idea beside it’s a Chinese company and using those equipments gives China backdoor access into critical systems and everything it connects to.

> Editor’s note: St. Paul Mayor and Governor Tim Walz on Sunday backed down from their claims on Saturday that 80% of those arrested for looting were from out of state or out of town. They still stressed that “bad actors” from outside the cities played a significant role in the destruction.

I think this is mostly wishful thinking, by people who are too horrified to admit that their tribe can be doing bad and so blame “outsiders”.

Homicide is the leading cause of death among non-Hispanic black males under 44 (taken in total, it’s not) [0]. In the same year as the CDC statistics above, 223 black men were killed by police [1].

It’s tragic, but many orders of magnitude away from your claim.

It’s not the quantity that makes it horrible, tragic, and infuriating. It is all those things because it’s evidence of a larger systemic issue which includes lots of other awful things that fall short of homocide; and it’s largely unnecessary.

That’s fake news.. The coordinated effort to loot/riot with violent means is backed by Antifa. There is a lot of evidence of crates of bricks “left” at distinct corner locations. More recently, crates of pipe bombs were found in DC.

Canada generally shares the same views on democracy as the US; and, more importantly, is part of the same intelligence alliance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes
Worth noting that there was a pretty obvious policy split between national and state-level Democrats for a pretty long time. Also voters. The stereotype of the white union member who was a galloping racist and a reliable Democratic voter was a stereotype for a reason: 'cause they existed.
It's not vulnerabilities they're worried about. The Chinese Communist Party effectively controls Huawei. For obvious reasons this is much more risky than sourcing equipment from ideological/political allies in Europe.
From the pricing model, it looks like hiring more than out sourcing because it charges based on duration, not the work to be delivered.
Yes. Now imagine my frustration at having been warning people about this authoritarian creep (as in political trend, not an individual person) since ~2010.
> why would the authors generally not include their code?

Decades of "printing out the code listings would cost too much paper" made many researchers get comfortable with the idea that nobody would ever see the code behind their work. That means:

- your code can be shit and potentially buggy and nobody will point and laugh at you

- replication is harder, so you can bluff some of the details

- if key findings are actually bugs, nobody will find out

These are all terrible reasons, but they're comfortable reasons as well. Open access was the first barrier, code included is simply the next.

If code included would've been commonplace, fiascos such as Imperial College of London's possibly-totally-bogus covid simulation [0][1] would've never made it to the cabinet.

The protests started out peaceful but became less peaceful when the police showed up and tear gassed innocent crowds. There's people literally getting arrested for practicing their right to assemble and right to freedom of speech.
Herodotus wasn't known for his slavish accuracy, if you know what I mean.
Yeah you're pretty much right. But this can be solved pretty simply with a pigovian tax.

It's not inconsistent with any definition of rights that I'm aware of to say that you can't pollute our air without consequences. By contrast, the current state of affairs does not mesh with any philosophical system that I've found. Under what theory can some stranger pollute my air? That's no more justifiable than me pouring perchlorate in my neighbor's well. The stronger someone believes in individual rights, the stronger they support my argument.

I think it's a misreading of philosophy (not saying you're doing this) to say that we need to justify restrictions on obvious negative externalities like air pollution. The polluter needs to justify his actions, not the neighbor whose air is being poisoned.

(The science on the deleterious effects of air pollution is of course settled regardless of what anyone thinks about global warming.)

1. I do a lot of shopping on Amazon. Look for "Grifiti" brand. 8" pad for use with the mouse, 17" pad for use with the keyboard. I use them all the time, even before I got the treadmill. Don't skimp on what you need to maintain good posture and ergonomics!

2. This one is hard to quantify. Senses (like hearing) are so subjective. There's definitely a sound to it, but it's not obnoxious. When I am on phone calls, the other folks can hear it, but they say it sounds like the sound of a washing machine in the distance. https://www.dropbox.com/s/diutjkdudu5edq1/treadmill_sound.m4... I recorded about 25 seconds of my walking. When I play it back, I can barely hear it in the recording… so I'm not sure how useful that'll be. Note the position of my mic on the left side of my desk, relative to where the treadmill is positioned.

3. Yes. LifeSpan Fitness stuff is certainly not the cheapest. I wanted to go for durability, and I was willing to pay the price for it. I have had this treadmill for 4 years and use it 5 days a week, minimum. I keep the belt lubricated. I would do some research on brands/models that are in your budget, and focus on the durability factor. The brand doesn't matter. You just want to keep moving and have a treadmill that will last you a long time.

I have an email in my profile. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me! I'm also happy to hop on a video call with you, if you want to listen for yourself.

You're answering the wrong question. The American republic isn't primarily an economic system, it's a political and social one. It can become completely fucked in so many ways without disrupting the currency too badly too quickly.

I know it will be little consolation to me to have the currency remain stable while things descend into pseudo-democratic authoritarianism.
Boris Johnson says 3m people in Hong Kong will get path to British citizenship
The one officer who was immediately involved has been charged; the other three have not. However this case is more of the straw that broke the camel's back. It's freshest in our minds and is the face of the protests, but as a whole the protests represent decades of tensions boiling over.
To expand a bit on this for people not familiar with Nix: the dynamic linker is treated as any other dependency and therefore stored in the Nix store, using the derivation's hash as part of the store path.

The binary's .interp section indicates which dynamic linker must be used. On a regular Linux distribution, you will find that this is a global path:

$ readelf -p .interp $(which cp)
String dump of section '.interp':
[ 0] /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

No global library paths such as /lib or /lib64 exists on NixOS. This is one of the reasons why binaries compiled on other Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, do not work out of the box. And you have to use patchelf to change the dynamic loader's path.

Instead, the dynamic loader of the glibc version that a program was built against is used:

$ readelf -p .interp $(which cp)
String dump of section '.interp':
[ 0] /nix/store/jx19wa4xlh9n4324xdl9rjnykd19mmq3-glibc-2.30/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

OK, so what was the group dressed like that in black who were doing it in the video I posted, in the Trump inauguration? That guy is textbook black bloc. There are hundreds of mainstream media videos showing guys dressed like him burning and destroying in prior protests, from Seattle WTO 1999, to Occupy, to more recent protests.

I urge HNers to read that article you posted and decide for themselves if it's credible.

Then, read the wikipedia article I posted, refer to the sources at the end, google around, and decide for yourself.
Using Huawei will pump money into Huawei pockets - allowing them to spend more on R&D for the next-gen tech (6G), resulting in China cementing technological primacy in telecoms - which just won't do as such proficiencies tend to spill-over into related fields (chip design & fabrication, RF engineering & software chops for civilian and military applications).

I have very minor issues with phone orders that make me prefer online ordering.

Restaurants are loud, add in shitty phone signals and heavy accents - the result is communication barriers are common and you have to do a lot of back-and-forth.

Another issue is the person taking the order usually has more job duties than just taking phone orders, so they can be distracted if it's busy and forget to write something down and/or sometimes you have to call back several times until someone has a free hand to answer the phone.
> Signs of any organized effort or even participation in the violence were relatively rare. “I have not seen any clear evidence that white supremacists or militiamen are masking up and going out to burn and loot,” said Howard Graves, a research analyst at the Southern Poverty Law Center who tracks white supremacist and other anti-government extremist groups.

They are certainly extremely tied to C19, 'nothing to do with' is wrong.

I think the George Floyd killing is tied to C19 in it's extremity. To keep going like they did with vocal witnesses is very unusual.

The lockdown has affected both the police and public in a psychological way. We allowed ourselves to be locked up. At many levels our brains aren't happy.

Wearing masks has created change in protests and the way police act. It's anonymousing attackers and the attacked are also less human.
> With this idea in mind, I personally can't picture myself being able to remain calm and not overstep my boundaries sooner or later.

It's their job to remain calm and lawful under all circumstances.

They have the full force of state sanctioned violence at their disposal.

My argument has nothing to do with policy and everything to do with the asymmetrical abuse of political power by the Republican party and how they are never held to account by their voters, the press, or our institutions for that abuse and how Democrats are held to an entirely different standard.

And no offense to you, I'm sure you believe that you have a consistent idea of what it means to be conservative, but I have no clue what being conservative means anymore.
> In your mind, cops really just see a peaceful protest and just decide to start fucking with them?

Sometimes, but not often.

More often, when there is a gross “overreaction”, it's a calculated attempt to suppress the message of the protestors, coordinated by leadership and instigated by various means including feeding false intelligence to the cops on the line that distorts their interpretation of facts.

But in the case of race-related issues it's often much worse than that, and this is apparently the case now. The infiltration of American law enforcement agencies by white supremacists is long-documented, there is, at the moment, an active white supremacist effort to trigger a race war, and the President of the United States is actively using language invoking historical racist government violence, and directly initiating violence against peaceful protestors. This isn't impulsive police violence, or merely violence as instrumental to winning a political debate, this is a (mostly loosely) coordinated campaign of racist violence where the violence and the harms it inflicts is, itself, a goal, and not just a callously accepted cost of some other end.
That's great; where's your source. Give us something, any kind of specific evidence that points to Antifa; otherwise you're just pissing in the wind like all the other speculators and liars.
Evidence that supports your side gets a free pass?

Being skeptical of claims from any side seems like what we should be striving for. There's no need to treat every story as True/False binary - considering the quality of the data we're working with, the most proper status for most claims should probably be [unknown].
