~~I'm not a lawyer and the citation provided in the article is too much text for me to try to parse, but I have to assume this is a case of unintended consequences. I expect that each individual section of the law makes sense, and it's only when you read them with an eye to finding gotchas that you realize they work together to prohibit this. In other words, congress needs better QA.~~

Edit: I take it all back. It turns out that you only have to read 21 CFR §150.160(b)(2) to see it, and it turns out that that law is just unreasonably prescriptivist.

>(2) The following combinations of fruit ingredients may be used:

>(i) Any combination of two, three, four, or five of such fruits in which the weight of each is not less than one-fifth of the weight of the combination; except that the weight of pineapple may be not less than one-tenth of the weight of the combination.

It's against the law to make a jam with more than 5 fruits because the law only explicitly allows jams with up to 5 fruits. Bizarre.
I wonder if it's just from the force of the propellant at too close a range. Can't be good for the eye.
This is the Noble Savage. There's a grain of truth in there, though, hunter-gatherer societies in a resource-rich environment have plentiful access to a varied diet and are in excellent physical shape. But there is continuous war between neighbours over these resources (just because you can, everyone is well-fed and healthy). So, yes, people lived well and had fun while doing so.
So, how do you feel about the fire-in-a-crowded-theater exception?
Agreed. But a CPAP is only as a good as your usage, too many people "have" one but don't use it.

A lot of it is comfort. So try switching from a full-face to nose pillow-style mask. Or alternative headgear. Or even talk to your doctor about lowering the pressure if it is the noise (better to have less effective treatment, than none at all).

PS - A lot of, frankly, older doctors are still not prescribing Auto-CPAPs for people who may be suitable. If you're currently set on a fixed pressure, and your machine is a common Auto-CPAP (variable pressure) maybe seek a second opinion from a different (younger?) doctor. Auto-CPAPs are medically certified for many Sleep Apnea suffers, doctors just haven't adapted or haven't been re-trained, so they're chronically under-prescribed. Auto-CPAP improves your comfort, not your treatment, which improves adherence.
Sure. We disband the existing police and make a new force based on Peelian principles. After all, maintaining societal peace is valuable.

This is pretty common in lots of things so it's pretty easy to understand. You have an aim you want to achieve (peace), you have a tool that does not achieve that (current police), so you discard the tool and get a new tool.
> If I knew you were good at Python and you were asking for $1.5k a month I would hire you and laugh all the way to the bank.

One way to avoid exploitation like this is to try to develop a number of offers simultaneously. Go in with the plan of getting a couple of offers early, and then let them twist in the wind while you develop better ones. Having an offer is good leverage for getting a better offer from another place without seeming "greedy". (Be courteous and humble, of course, or at least fake it.)

Also, the FAANGs seem to recruit endlessly, even when they're not really hiring. Good place for practice interviews, even if you don't care to work there. My offer from one got me a lot more money elsewhere.
Only slightly. Most of the difference is telcos paying the $$$ to get their antennas up high with line of sight.
It's not a witch hunt if there's an actual problem.
It worked for the country of Georgia. They disbanded their entire national police force, and violent crime immediately went down.
How do you know that the book in question was putting up misinformation on a bad faith basis?

You don't, and you won't, because the decision has been made for you.

You honestly think there is no legitimate information to be added to the equation from outside official sources? And that official sources, are, by definition right about everything?
right? i never ever see right wing content on reddit's /r/all frontpage, but i ALWAYS see left-wing content (including there small subreddits with 10k+ upvotes).

see, i'm not conservative (i'm absurdly socially liberal and a bit fiscally conservative -- i prefer less taxes and less government spending in general) but it's baffling that people call reddit a "right-wing-cesspool".

if you look at unfiltered /r/all right now, most posts are related to the current protests.
8 Euro a month is far from reasonable.
Reminds me of the (very fun!) cooperative game SpaceTeam[0], where you have to complete an ever-increasing set of fanciful space-themed actions on a little control panel on your phone. The fun part there is that some of the actions require you to tell someone else to complete an action on their phone, so games always involve frantic shouting to your teammates. Lots of fun

> That's not what free speech is.

The argument becomes more difficult the more widely used and essential a platform is. Would you make the same argument about being restricted in what you can say over a private chat service? Over the last decades and especially during the pandemic how people assemble and use their right to free speech has massively shifted.

Before you assume that I hold an strong opinion on this: I don't think I do. I don't know where I want the line to be.
Yeah, "fitful" is a word that sounds good but isn't.

Good points. I had read the thread start as having the defense lawyers only present the parts of the video that support their case, not the full video, which as I understand it would not be OK. But yes, I don't know that anything prevents them from not presenting the video at all.
It was pretty cool in its broken state, too, with a rhythmic spark occurring inside the handle (which houses the electronics). But I wanted to kill mosquitoes. Our house in Ponce was built for air conditioning - without power it was miserable, as the air circulation through the small windows was effectively nil. We were forced to keep all the doors open to survive.

That first day I killed over forty mosquitoes. Under the dining room table it was just bzzt-zzt-zzt-ztt. Seriously one of the more satisfying episodes of my life.
Where are you getting that from? Do you have polls you can point to that support the assertion that "Most Americans would say no to this question"?
Unless it's for another good reason.
I would second this, and mark it as maybe one of the strongest indicators of where the zeitgeist is at the moment. It makes the "there are evil fascists at every turn" argument pretty weak, when all the money is being bet on woke advertising.
There was a period in my life (almost a decade ago) when I was sleeping poorly due to unhealthy work habits and excess caffeine. I was in my 20s and early 30s during this time and felt invincible, but the effects on my body were profound. The damage became so tangible I had no choice but to make a change, and have for the last 5+ years been sleeping normally. I miss those days of nonstop work, I was more productive then, but it would have killed me if I had continued.
Yes, that lesson took very firmly.
When in open air, you don't need to wear as strong a mask. A motorcycle mask would be just fine. Like, if riding a bike, unless stuck in traffic, the outside air won't be carrying anything concentrated, plus you'll be passing by it so quickly.

I'm sure it seems very alarming that people are 'demonizing the police' if you're new to this issue -- in which case this week has woken you up to something that's been a problem for people for a very very long time. But it is not a new issue, and people's fear and pain at it is genuine.

To some segments of society (who are not criminals), the police absolutely are more of a threat than criminals. When there are people who are terrified of getting pulled over by a cop in traffic because they know it might end up with them shot, even though they are in every way a model citizen, there is a deep problem.

Also, police as we know them are only a couple hundred years old. No one is saying there doesn't need to be people who fill most of the roles police do in modern society, they are saying the structure the police embody is rotten and can be replaced with better things.

And in my experience, it's the least privileged who take the hardest line on police abolition. Most 'privileged' people have, like yours, a lukewarm "some reform would be good" perspective.
B and C probably both fit - police aren't inherently a net bad, but the policing system in america produces too many bad outcomes to lend blanket support to; it's arguably unethical to profit from such a problematic body of work.
Everyone replying to you don't seem to realize that some of these protests have involved 'well armed citizenry' already, and their doomsday predictions of the result haven't happened. https://imgur.com/gallery/p3LRF1L
Just like good people don't want to work with bad cops and leave the force, good people don't want to be forced to interact with racists and misogynists, and reddit has had a problem with both from day one.
> Look around. Most Americans would say no to this question.

How is it possible to conclude this? There have been polls the last few days where more than half of respondents of both parties support sending the National Guard to quash the rioting and looting, and a significant proportion of Democrat respondents think the Federal government should send the U.S. military to do the same.

If you live in a place where people broadly do not support the police as an institution, you live in an odd place.

Now, given recent events on the top of the national consciousness, there is broad concern that some very bad police tend to be protected in many police departments, but that's an entirely different opinion.
You appear to be arguing against a point that wasn't made.
I found gnuradio companion to be useful for just poking around. Assuming the radio has a gnuradio compatible driver then you can do a lot of basic things like tune it around various spectra and get a feel for its sensitivity and selectivity. You can try out lots of different things quickly with it.

Lately I've been looking at front end selectors and their impact on radio performance. I have been using pysignal to process snapshots of iq data from the radio in my test setup.

> As a young adult, my dad warned me that people are basically honorable up to about $10K.

No way. $10k is the lower boundary to litigation being worth anybody's time. If somebody is going to defraud you, it's going to be for an amount less than $10k.

Amounts of money higher than that may entice people into doing things they otherwise wouldn't, sure, but there I'd submit that they were never honorable in the first place if they can be bought for the right price.

Some people, particularly introverts, may be able to satiate themselves indefinitely with television or the internet. But a lot of people get antsy if they're made to spend even just a single weekend inside at home.
Do not confuse nondeterministic Turing machines with nondeterministic (finite) state machines/automata. The latter are proven to be equivalent to their deterministic counterparts, the former are not.
I agree that police are the last line of defense rather than the first. Many places would be quite peaceful without police, though it might depend on the timeframe. Bad actors can do an awful lot of damage, and you really don't want Hobbesian traps to develop[1]. Once they do, you'll start to have very fond memories of the police.

If disbanding police forces makes it very far in the political discourse, then gun control will be dead as a concept in the U.S. Even felons (who have served their time) have some rights, and without police to protect them, it would be inhumane to deny them self-defense. It's arguably inhumane even with police.

The Elgato Cam Link is worth checking out if you're serious about this - it's an HDMI video capture device which presents itself on the computer end as a UVC compatible USB webcam and will accept the HDMI streams DSLRs usually send. They're expensive though.

There are other similar devices on the market too but not sure how good they are for this situation.
Fluent, inventive and artful swearing is the highest mastery of foreign language to be achieved. If your friend thinks english or any other language lacks expletives or ways to combine them for maximum effect, I am sorry, but your friend knows fuck-all about cultures, languages, and people in general. It is even possible that his mother was a hamster and his father smelled of elderberries (i'm of course, saying that in jest!)
> I feel like this entire movement is really taking away credit from the "ok" and "good" cops.

I feel the response to this movement shows that there are fewer good cops that anyone would have expected. They protect their own at the cost of citizens they should be protecting. They lie. They cheat. They assault and murder without consequence.

> Even if there were 1,000 police brutality related deaths a year (there aren't), police would still be a huge net win for society, no? Am I missing something?

Yes. You're missing the fact that it doesn't have to be this way. That police don't have to work entirely without consequences. They don't have to militarized. This is not required for them to do their jobs. And it can be changed.
Here we are on HN, one of the most censored and moderated forums on the internet. Personally, I find it quite refreshing.

I mean, a quick search of /r/politics, which is liberal, suggests to me that you're over-stating the case. Conservative posts are often unpopular and people expressing conservative views get a lot of downvotes, but it was simple to find posts that go against the culture of the subreddit[1][2]. I wouldn't recommend /r/politics as a place to discuss politics - I agree it isn't representative of the median US voters' view.

I think it's one thing to say reddit is mostly people'd be leftists, which I agree with, and another to say that conservative opinions are explicitly banned. I think conservative opinions are unpopular and the imbalance makes reddit a poor place to understand the politics of the median person in the US, but non-leftists are allowed.

Indeed, but they've had many years in which to deliver and have manifestly failed to do so. Reform should of course be the first recourse when you discover a problem, I don't bulldoze my house if if I discover a leaky pipe or a crack in the wall. If you know there are massive persistent problems and you keep saying 'now's not the time, let's reform this slowly and carefully' then at a certain point you're just procrastinating in hope that the problem goes away.
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said:

“Man.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
Wouldn't these more properly be labeled "relief" maps vs "elevation"?

Regardless of the terminology, they look stunning. Definitely appeal to the map geek in me.
This evokes such a broad array of emotions. Nostalgia, despair, mirth, appreciation, existential puzzlement.
CSV is totally fine, and I don't understand why people have such an issue with the format. It is very simple, here is the entire specification: the file should be encoded in UTF-8, and fields are separated by the , character. Fields may be quoted with ". If a field contains any of [",\r\n] then it must be quoted. The quote process is: replace all " characters in the field with "" and then surround the field with ". I would expect a competent programmer to be able to implement this specification as an interview question!

The existence of software that produces braindead CSVs is beside the point. Don't use that software. Just do the above and everything will work.
With the exception of sound & water cannons, all of these other methods have been used in the last two weeks, with many recorded usages on peaceful protesters.
I remember when I had ~3 years of working experience. We were on the tail end of a fixed price/fixed date contract. There was a bug that needed to be fixed, and it was in a module that everybody had worked on, and the code was pretty bad.

So during the meeting, I said: that bug is just a sympthom, the module needs to be rewritten. And I knew what I was talking about.

No, said a senior, we're just going to fix the bug, no rewriting. I said that's your call, but I sure am not going to fix that bug. I can tell you: nobody listened to me.

So he more or less finished the discussion and said: I'm going to sit down with you, and we're going to fix that bug. And we did.

At that point it was the right call.

Are you asking what is more private than the other? As a FF user, I can recommend it. More than the browser itself, see if you get behind the idea of the organization. There are many FF devs on this forum and I can usually trust mozilla to do the right thing.

You're on the right track, but the wrong problem. What this theoretically renders irrelevant is the halting problem. Ignoring IO (which allows the importing of arbitrary amounts of state from the exterior world), it is in fact possible to take a real computer and determine if a program will halt. It's easy. You just run it and record every state it passes through. It will either return to a previously-existing state in a finite period of time, in which case the program does not terminate, or it will halt in a finite period of time.

The problem is that it doesn't take much computer before the fact that the halting problem is theoretically solvable doesn't matter much. The Commodore 64 had 524,288 bits, which means even ignoring the other hardware that could have its own states it has 2^524288 states, approx. equal 10^157,828 states. You can't fit a record of all of the states that it might pass through in our universe. And it gets exponentially worse with every bit you add. An impoverished computer with a mere gigabyte of RAM would be 10^2,585,827,973 states.

So while in theory our computers are state machines, in practice we are much better suited to using the tools of Turing machines to analyze their behavior.

(I'm pretty sure you could construct an argument using the usual formulation of the halting problem to prove there is no practical easier way to tell that a computer will halt in general, but it would be more involved than I can sketch out. There is more to it than just swapping out "Turing machine" for "Turing machine limited to a tape of size X" everywhere.)

(Edit: Incidentally, I skimmed over the article the first time, assuming it was based on this observation. Deeper reading shows that it doesn't mean this, and in fact I don't actually know what it is intending to say, honestly. But the above still holds. Technically, all computers are state machines, not Turing machines, as Turing machines don't fit in our universe.)
The point is that it's unintuitive, at least from a naive point of view. Kind of like hormesis, where exposure to harmful substances or radiation can actually be beneficial.

My original point was that Reddit is nothing but a toxic echo chamber. So I think you are agreeing with me?
I think the current action of work was "it's bad PR". And just that (no notion of good and bad).

My personal take is:

Police is conceptually good, but in practice can be be anything from net bad to net good. And while you can give a label per country. Differences in the same country (and state) can be huge. If many bad cases exists there is dangerous failure in the system. While for view cases is most often a human failure. Lastly it's currently net bad to be associated with police for PR, independent of wether police is net good or net bad in the US.

Tbh. If I'm not wrong then the problems in the US are much deeper and systematic then "just" degrees of police violence. I still remember that since states used or still user a KI system to decide about bail cost and possibility which had a very clear bias against black people. Not because it was made intentionally with a bias but because the data of all cases of recent years was subtly but consistently biased against black people. And there are many other things wrong. Some not specific to black people but anyone which had not much Mony. Bring them all together and you have defacto systematic discrimination.

Edit: Spelling on a phone can be hard. ;)
My feeling is being in uniform and acting under color of authority without a badge and name tag should be a felony.
With regard to an individual going out and protesting, it is the same. If I choose to do something that I know will result in the unjust death of another I would be morally culpable of murder.

I agree that when determining the best public policy. One has to weigh the risks and rewards. And the difference in life expectancy is relevant to that discussion.
>The human brain is beyond comprehension.

Many things in the world were beyond our comprehension, until they weren't. I see no reason why the human brain's inner workings should evade our understanding indefinitely.
As someone who loves math but always struggled with mathematical notation but can easily absorb code or diagrams this is intensely appealing to me.
> If your city had a ballot initiative to defund and disband the police department, would you vote for it?

It would depend on the specifics. I can definitely imagine a situation where the "company culture" of a department is so corrupt that replacement would be preferable to a destined-to-fail reform attempt.

Some kind of law enforcement is necessary, but no specific police organization is.
