Agree with the conclusion.

What is output for eventual review needs to be standardized and consistent. If a human has to nag about formatting or similar nuance, we’re doing something wrong.

IDEs don’t define the output, but code formatters and linters do. That must be standardized.
You can't defend against insider trading accusations by saying "I had insider knowledge but I didn't base my trades on it". Therefore your statement implies that you can't trade your company's stock at all. However, it is an empirical fact that companies sometimes offer it as an option in the 401k plan, which seems like an endorsement that it's ok in some situation.

Nonpublic information about, say, a merger, would be "illicit" in my understanding. But what if you have worked for a company for 10 years and you think management is really great?

You can be guilty of insider trading for not buying something that you'd otherwise have done, too. So if you worked for a company and found it a terrible place to work and therefore never bought company stock, or sold the stock you had, you would in fact have profited from material nonpublic knowledge. Obviously that can't generally be a crime.

Kind of depends on the language. Perl converts the string to an integer if you use a math operator on a numeric string. Python just throws an error.
Apparently violating the Fourth Amendment, I suppose it's not worth much in practice.
Like most rights, the right to peaceably assemble and protest is not absolute.

Here, but for a limited curfew the people can still protest at will.

I am sure you know why there are curfews in Seattle and other places. It is because of the violence of the past few days. It is not to suppress free speech. Cyrus knows that.

I think it sucks, but until the late night violence subsides this is probably the new normal.

An alternative, I guess would be enabling the police to use more force against active rioters/looters, but that isn't going to happen. The man power isn't available. Besides King County (where Seattle is) does not prosecute property crimes or pretty much any misdemeanor (except for domestic or sexual violence and hate crimes).

Not lifting travel restrictions is not realistic unless you are talking about North Korea. If you do not lift restrictions you are also punishing your own citizens (if you let your own citizens travel they can bring back the gift that keeps giving). We will see. And quarantine where? In many countries for returning citizens it just means "please go home and try to avoid contacts for 2 weeks", which is not super effective and gets treated creatively a lot.

I see friends (US and 2 countries in Europe) who are not affected by job losses booking vacations like crazy to take advantage of low prices to visit places they always wanted. So I suspect there will be a lot of travel again in the near future.
I didn't mean to imply that; I meant to explicitly say that.

A key difference is almost surely the prevalence of guns. As you suggest at the end, cops in Australia don't approach every situation assuming there might be a gun in play.
Having spent some time looking at contact tracing app architectures across the world, I realize how conceptually same they are.
Mostly variations are in central or decentral handling of data.

BLE based.
Similar usage protocol.

Instead of 50 odd countries, each making tracing app with ~90% similarity, doesn’t it make sense that there is one grand GitHub repo?
Each country instantiates their own variant of it, by injecting own config, while contributing to the this repo.

Am surprised at the mushrooming effect here.
Finland also only has 300 deaths.

Storing weapons in space is really scary. It's practically impossible to reliably detect when they are "fired", which makes the people with nuclear bombs waiting to fire back antsy, which increases the risk of a nuclear war accidentally starting. I hope no one carries out this idea of yours.

Using starship to launch rods that immediately come down on people instead of loitering in space sounds like a much safer use.

I fully support the ACLU in these lawsuits. However, their last paragraph states "If the government refuses to hold its officers accountable for their unlawful actions, we will." But suing the state doesn't result in accountability for the officers. It punishes the taxpayers. The perpetrators of these crimes never see any fallout from them. If we want real change, police officers have to experience personal consequences for their actions.

Sweden's approach is clearly one focused on long-term results. If Covid sees a resurgence in the fall or as nations return to relative normalcy, we can expect the infection and death counts to be multi-modal in most nations, while Sweden's might be a bell curve.

For this reason alone, we are unlikely to know the effectiveness of Sweden's herd immunity for months if not years.

Non-Australians, don't get too excited. Those satellites are at 340 miles, so that adds 680 miles of latency (3.66 ms) plus two to three Starlink hops, which cancels out some of that "speed in a vacuum."

The way to get almost c on earth is via direct microwave links.

Sweden’s strategy failed on its own terms. There is absolutely no arguing that. Their first goal was to protect the vulnerable, and they failed miserably at that. Fundamentally because Tegnell resisted the fact that asymptomatic carriers existed.

One could argue, like some Iraq war proponents do, that the idea was ok for Sweden, but the failure was in execution. But one can not argue that it wasn’t a significant failure.

If you legalize gambling, adult prostitution, and drugs it is disingenuous to suppose that criminal enterprise will somehow replace all that revenue off underage prostitution.

It would absolutely pull the rug out from under them. If you give most underprivileged American youth a way to have a better life you would further decimate their recruiting.

I bring the below quotes to your attention:

"It would be easy to think that the police officer is a figure who has existed since the beginning of civilization. […] however, the economics that drove the creation of police forces were centered […] on the preservation of the slavery system. Some of the primary policing institutions there were the slave patrols tasked with chasing down runaways and preventing slave revolts, Potter says; the first formal slave patrol had been created in the Carolina colonies in 1704." - How the U.S. Got Its Police Force
http://time.com/4779112/police-history-origins/

"Slave patrols and Night Watches, which later became modern police departments, were both designed to control the behaviors of minorities. For example, New England settlers appointed Indian Constables to police Native Americans (National Constable Association, 1995), the St. Louis police were founded to protect residents from Native Americans in that frontier city, and many southern police departments began as slave patrols. In 1704, the colony of Carolina developed the nation’s first slave patrol. Slave patrols helped to maintain the economic order and to assist the wealthy landowners in recovering and punishing slaves who essentially were considered property." - A Brief History of Slavery and the Origins of American Policing
https://plsonline.eku.edu/insidelook/brief-history-slavery-a...

While most people today believe that they are “free” and “independent” the facts are that they’re still living in enslavement. The only difference is that they’ve been indoctrinated from early childhood to accept their slavery. And in the case of the police, they’ve been conditioned to accept the enforcers of their enslavement as something good and beneficial to themselves, when in fact, the police exist to enforce whatever the masters dictate and to protect the masters and their economic interests from the slaves. This fact is proven on a daily basis worldwide; whenever and wherever the slaves rise up against the current system of enslavement, the police rush in to suppress them. And yet, very few of the slaves take note of the obvious and ask themselves the question: who do the police really serve?
Body armor, perhaps. I still think it creates a moral hazard; if you were in a situation where someone might shoot you, how much does the idea that your vital organs are protected influence your decision to keep yelling commands versus a decision to go back to your car, write down the license plate, and pick them up at home when you're prepared for the situation?

On the topic of armored vehicles, I vehemently disagree with distributing them to police forces. If there is a significant threat of a firefight, we have an existing domestic force that is trained to handle combat conditions. They are the National Guard. If things escalate to that point, the proper response is to call in the National Guard. They are both trained to handle that situation, and they have far more equipment than you could ever hope for. The National Guard has actual tanks, if it comes to that.

I will grant you, there is a very narrow middle ground of things that SWAT is equipped to handle but the National Guard would take too long to deploy. However I would contend that the military attitude SWAT-style tactics cause costs more in human lives than the small subsection of things SWAT needs to handle before the National Guard arrives.

The police should be a domestic force, charged with maintaining law and order among largely non-violent and lawful citizenry. The National Guard should be a force charged with handling violent and unlawful situations.

Traffic stops are well within the police jurisdiction. Standouts can be handled by police, so long as they don't plan on going in to the building. Taking a building full of hostile combatants with at-risk civilians should be handled by the National Guard. If the police feel at risk enough that they need more than a handgun, they should call the National Guard.

The police are not an invading army performing an occupation of hostile lands. They are public servants enforcing democratically chosen laws on a largely willing populace, of which they are part. Anything outside that scope should be handled by another branch that has been chosen and trained for that purpose.
Is everything a lie these days?
Good points, but we still do not know how the second wave will look like in the countries that had quarantine (or in Sweden). We should revisit in a year. And there are other factors -- I personally know people whose cancer treatments were pushed out "because COVID" (for 1 and 2 months so far and counting). It is hard to quantify such things as there is no significant statistics, but lockdowns contribute to deaths, too.

Node with a hat and fake moustache.
> Javascript is great. But... in saying that it has a few quirks and can work in some unexpected ways.

Typescript has just as many[1] (in fact more, as it's a superset) quirks than Javascript. I like using it (and it makes JS type-safe-ish), but it's not really some kind of paradigm shift.

Not sure how I feel about import maps. They are quite literally the same thing as package.json. In fact, converting between the two takes about 20 lines of code[2]. I'd bet my bottom dollar that everyone's going to use them, which is going to lead to exactly the same types of problems as Node.

It is not. They are not "needy." The market, pardon my language, fucked up either their compensation, or the rental rate, or both. This is the failure of an economic system to properly account for a worker's labor and deliver the shelter designated in the social contract, not an oversight or negligence on the worker's part. Especially with unions defanged or non-existent.

It's not charity, it's account-settling.

Then you have limited experience with Japanese bosses.

Under most circumstances, they simply avoid trying to commit to ANYTHING. They will never give you a definite yes or no and will move glacially slowly.

However, when driven to against a wall in which they must make a decision, it is fairly common that they can, and will, spew some of the most jaw-droppingly stupid things, and nobody will ever contradict them--certainly not publicly.

Yes, when things go really bad, they will have to apologize and fall on their sword. However, the failure has to reach epic proportions before that will happen--normally they just shovel the blame onto subordinates exactly like US bosses.

The places where the new cases are skyrocketing are having more tests done, obviously, but they are places where the number of tests (and cases and deaths) up until now was low.

Conversely, the places that were hardest hit in the first wave are also having more tests done than previously, and at least before full reopening, are not yet having cases jump up.
I hope this standard gain traction, used it in place to replace superset based system and integrate an analytics dashboard within a web app.

Altair with Python generates the vega-lite json or a chatr directly. If it’s vega-lite json use web component which uses JavaScript renderer for vega-lite. For react or vuejs based system encapsulated the JavaScript library of vega-lite renderer.

This is much easier to work with than superset which is tied to react frontend and python backend and require use of iframe.

Even if you look at any commercial offering they need to be embedded as iframe with different authentication and authorization, with complex integration in a webapp.

I have heard that vega is a heavy grammar and is complex to implement, also when the data is dense performance is a concern. I haven’t faced those issues yet with vega-lite, may be my data is not that dense for visualisation.
