But they aren’t the part of the problem that is accountable for it. In a democracy you should expect that everybody will be appealing to the government to protect their own interests. The NIMBYs quite obviously do this. But it’s the local governments that implement the NIMBY-protecting policies. The local governments are the ones accountable to the people, not the NIMBYs. I imagine the delinquent politicians are quite happy when people point the finger at landlords instead of them.
Okay, yeah, this was before the timestamp the earlier link started, so I hadn't seen this bit. Looking at this segment, I can't tell if the officers heard or understood what's going on properly with their masks on and with everything else going on... and I can't really hear what the officers are saying either, so I don't know what they might've been thinking.
I figure it's for the same Microsoft×Intel mutual-back-scratching reason that made Microsoft try to charge $35 for the fix: https://www.theregister.com/1998/11/26/amd_posts_windows_95_...
Still not clear what is being discussed as "self-referential". No offence, but maybe you are confused between self-referential and self-centered?
It can't hurt to expect companies to actually troubleshoot their own policies. We don't have to expect that it's the only recourse (eg. government regulation, civil suits, public brand shaming, etc).
Social workers are very often sent to help people experiencing mental health crises,
including those with a history of violence. Particularly in countries other than the US it’s very much the norm.

It’s not a theoretical situation. It sounds like you’re speculating but you could read about it or talk to people about it.
This is cool. I was less interested in the ratio and more interested in the median pay at places. Some places I’ve never heard of have a significantly higher median pay than my company! And I’m pretty surprised at how high median pay is at FAANG
It's true that police are asked to be solutions for social problems for which they are unsuited.

However, the reason this interview is topical has to do with someone paying for cigarettes with a possibly counterfeit bill and refusing to give them back. That seems to me to be an entirely reasonable reason to call the police.
Here in Czech Republic there is a program where government pays 50% of busines rent as long as the property owner agrees on a 30% discount and the tennant pays 20%. The program covers March to June (three months) with most businesses having to be closed for about six weeks from that and restaurants fully reopening only recently.

IMHO this is a really good idea while not giving money away due to each party covering a part of the deal.

Or you lost a sports game, let's not pretend the bar for rioting is very high...

EDIT: Sorry, I missed "you just won a sports game" as a reason for rioting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_riot

I think what is looking more like a solution I'd like to see tried, is:

1) Replace 90% of police with community officers (unarmed) and social workers. Have them working their 'beats' regularly, pro-actively monitoring their areas and checking in with their charges. Again, unarmed.

2) Keep 10% for old style police work, that are only escalated to when specific conditions are met: approved by a municipal authority, wear bodycams, and have the permission of the caller to appear (within reason). Make it a real pain in the neck to bring them out, so they only show up for truly dangerous situations, not like some guy reselling cigarettes that ends in death.

A lawyer recently made an observation that really stuck with me: Only call the police when you're okay with the person you're calling about possibly dying. Sounds pretty strong when you put it that way - but it's just making explicit the implicit idea that the police will show up, the police are authorized (expected, even) to use force, and if there's disobedience or even just misunderstanding, the person could end up dead. See for example this story.

If peace officers did most of the work, that could be a game-changing improvement.

Civil disobedience is encouraging the state to use violence against you, but not all protest is civil disobedience.

Getting large groups of people together to chant in common cause can easily be just about showing solidarity around a common cause. People out in the streets today aren't trying to get police to abuse them. They're trying to show the world this is something they care about.
Nice service, thanks.

Might I suggest an international-friendly date format? YYYY-MM-DD is much easier, as an American, for me to process than DD/MM/YY.
I haven’t. My Windows use is limited these days so I haven’t kept up. Good to know about it, I try to take a look next time I’m on Windows.

Last time I checked it was possible to factory reset the device from the bootloader menu thing. It causes the device to go in to an anti theft mode where you have to log in to the last google account the device was used with but it should be able to solve this issue.
You're right. "No factual basis" might be a better standard. The claims Trump made had no factual basis. Twitter's addendum highlighted that fact. Nothing more.

I can't believe that people are criticizing an organization for exercising it's right to free speech. Like this wasn't even a case of removal of content. It was literally taking a sign and sticking another sign below it. It's something that the government would be allowed to do to a private citizen. It's that far away from censorship. And yet.
It'd be fun to operate a nuclear-thermal rocket for decades, heating the ice and piping it through the reactor and out the nozzle.
There are also tax concerns that might affect a decision on whether to write down a loss this year versus some time in the near future.
The amazing thing to me is phone cameras are still getting better. They've reached a stage where I've given up using an SLR. In the future there will be very little need for a dedicated camera - yes weddings maybe excepted.
If the actual economy (gdp, not equities) doesn’t make a v-shaped recovery then it’s inevitable. I think the shakeup of who gets rehired for which jobs is going to cause some personal bankruptcies regardless. Basically if Acme co laid off 5k people, the 5k they rehire to resume operations may be a different set of people.
Being smug and sanctimonious in response to having claims of lacking empathy being debunked isn’t a good look.

All that proves is how deeply underpaid those jobs were.

Say that $1600/wk is perfectly livable for her. That means formerly, she was working at a job that did not pay her enough to live, but she was forced to because the alternative is worse. Arguably, for many people, they could live on even less than that.

Countless people who are forced to be in the job market, slaving away at crappy jobs at the threat of poverty and homelessness. They are forced to be at jobs they hate, propping up industries that survive only because of exploitation of human labor, and they don't even get a proper living wage from it. Human life is very limited. Time is the greatest asset we have and it goes away even when we do nothing. Yet we force so many people to trade their time for a pittance.

If these people were provided a base amount of money they could live on and do something else, then those jobs would either be unfilled (and the industries die off) or the businesses will be forced to raise the wage, thus providing more money to people who are willing to work for it.

A World of Absolutes – Where Is the Middle Ground?
To pull from fiction, my idealized vision of the perfect police force would be a “Starfleet”. Someone like Picard who is more than capable of defending themselves and others if it comes to it, but who goes in with phasers on stun, and a primary motivation to diffuse a situation through psychology and diplomacy.
> Defunding seems much less important and farther down the road than making their jobs achievable, and the rest of us safer.

There are secondary effects too, though. The police force competes for funds with other public infrastructure like schools. Defunding the police means we can allocate that money to more productive and less violent causes.
To preface, I'm a PhD student in computer science. I spend about 50% of my time reading, 25% writing, and the other 25% coding, so my organisation is highly focussed around that workflow at the moment.

1. I follow BSD guidelines where possible (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/dirstructure.html), with the extension of a portable ~/.local/bin directory of scripts that's symlinked to my dotfiles.

2. Projects (mine or otherwise) live in ~/Repositories, with reverse domain name. E.g. ~/Repositories/gitlab.com/harritaylor/project name. I am a heavy user of z (https://github.com/rupa/z), so the big nesting doesn't bother me at all. I found that if I tried to organise it into some ~/work ~/projects directory I would spend time messing around with it/organising and sometimes even kept two distinct versions of software projects going. Oh, also: I use `git grep --line-number -e "TODO"` to keep track of what I need to do in a project. I really tried with stuff like org mode, but in the end I found it was so much easier to just drop a "TODO" in a comment within the context of the code, and use a high level description of the problem in my separate notes.

3. I keep a ~/Notes directory for https://obsidian.md, with a subfolder of ~/Notes/pdf/ for papers. This is synced via git to my iPad with working copy to markup notes, as I find it a lot easier to read and process papers on the sofa rather than at the desk. For each paper I make a markdown file of notes with the name of the reference (author:year.md), and keep all my citations organised in my ~/Notes/references.bib file.

4. I use bookmark OS for anything found on the web that is not immediately useful (usually from hacker news and twitter), rather than cluttering up daily notes or git cloning it. I used to use pocket for this but I've recently split "to read in downtime" and "to research" into two different services to avoid burnout. I dedicate around an hour a week pruning this after I have worked through my reading list.

5. "Working documents" such as current presentations or paper drafts live on the desktop for quick reference in meetings, as well as immediate reminders that they still exist.

6. I haven't figured out a useful way of organising my documents otherwise: I currently treat ~/Documents as an archive, organising by context (freelance, phd, private), and the folder prepended by the most specific time `YY_MM_DD-name`. It's super clunky, it doesn't really work, but it's the best thing I've found so far.

This setup is totally portable by design, and I have reproduced this working environment between my work mac (boo, I know), a linux VM on a windows PC, and my remote linux workstation. The biggest revelation for me personally was the ~/Repositories and `z` combination. No more remembering where I cloned a project in the spur of the moment!

Now, to read everyone else's solutions and figure out my (6)!

The common-signal would just be the general stock market performance. S&P is one way to approximate "the market". The idea being that you want a plot to show you how well they're doing in terms of market performance, not in terms of absolute share price (which is kind of meaningless here). Otherwise every shock to the general market ends up getting rendered in every line in the plot which is pretty distracting and makes it hard to see what's going on.
The government could build affordable housing and rent it out at a reasonable price. "Council houses" as they are called in the UK are built very well. They are often ugly, but I'm sure that these days they can be built well, cheaply and made to look OK.

One of the comments on the link indicates the actual situation - Truck sales haven't increased, but are now relatively even more popular to other vehicles which have dropped in sales considerably. Most likely, as you say, by the good deals - 0% financing.

How long this keeps up is hard to tell.

This requires a wipe in most cases to unlock your bootloader (if that's even possible for your phone, not all can be). At that point, you might as well just wipe your phone.

EDIT: Some phones also require you to unlock it in settings too don’t they?

I ran multiple side projects in the past years, including SaaS. In my opinion you should stop when you're not happy with it anymore and also not excited enough to continue building it until you're happy with it again.

But don't give up easily! Don't expect you should grow as fast as the popular startups you've mentioned. You can allow yourself to grow slow and steady and still be extremely successful. Growing fast is what investors want, not necessarily what your customers want. Focus on working for your customers, not your investors (or potential investors).

If you're delivering value for those 8 customers, get closer to them, get into their shoes and then find more customers just like them (maybe they can even help you with that).

Then automate your operations as much as possible, and focus on getting your SaaS really stable for them. Then, slowly, deliver the most critical and important features for those customers, always focusing in high standards for quality and security.

Be a strong business, even if a small one. Run your business in a profit first approach. You might grow slow, but you grow healthy and strong this way, and if you persist, you may eventually find yourself grow really fast later.
I think cellphone cameras can be good when couple conditions are met:

- mid range focus length

- normal, good lighting conditions (for example, no huge dynamic range where you have to be able to choose part of dynamic range you are working with)

- fast exposures in good lighting

- static targets or slowly moving humans

- conditions where you can't or won't take large camera

I use my full frame for things that can't be reliably or at all captured with smartphone:

- dramatic, wide shots, or super sharp telephoto. It is not possible to replicate extreme wide shots or super sharp telephoto (mine is 70-200 f2.8 VR),

- isolate specific targets with shallow focus depth (cellphones are only good at isolating human faces because that's what algorithms are trained)

- smartphones are useless in dark conditions -- and not just because bad image quality but also because they can't focus and because you have to stare at the screen which blinds you

- I can work with extreme dynamic range (think dark church with one ray of sunlight lighting couple people). Smartphones can try to guess what you are doing but what if their guess isn't what you want?

- framing lots of photos in short succession -- I use full manual mode and can reliably frame lots of interesting photos in short succession (think a wedding) which the smartphone isn't really built for. With DSLR I can spot interesting target, fix focus point, frame and shoot every second or two.

- I can track moving targets and not just humans

- I can shoot wide open in good light to get shallow depth of field, using ND filters

- I can use polarizing filters to get dramatic sky or crystal clear water

- I can trigger additional fill lights to get nice pictures in adverse conditions like shooting into sun

I will say one more thing. People are drowning in smartphone-made photos. By choosing full frame camera I can make photos that instantly pop up and are interesting to the viewer exactly because they have some uncommon aspect (like extremely wide shot). I don't think DSLRs are anywhere close to death. There are some aspects of photos that are not possible to replicate due to physics and geometry that will always be tempting for photographers to use to make their photos interesting.

Yes, in the US police is trained to act with brutality. Especially with people from the black community. But to be fair the police is not the only culprit, that is how laws and the economic system have been designed.

You do need some people to be in charge of violence. If you make that their only job you'll be in a situation of hammers seeing nails wherever they look. You'll be much better off assigning that unavoidable violence duty to people whose main responsibilities and qualifications lie elsewhere.

Seems like a bad way to measure. You're heavily penalizing CEOs who lead companies with low median wages.

If I wanted to see if CEO wages were unjustifiably low or high, I'd look at things like total revenue, profit, stock price growth, etc. Then you could at least tell if pay is linked to performance.
This an excellent short explanation for group decision dynamics. If this subject is of interest to you I strongly recommend: How We Decide https://www.amazon.com/How-We-Decide-Jonah-Lehrer/dp/0547247...

This subject, at least to me, calls into question the behavior associated with recent events. The subjects of police brutality, civil rights, systemic racism, and so forth are much older than two weeks. I appreciate there are people and groups who have been actively working for years to raise awareness of these concerns, and then there is everybody else. Many people in that second category are crazy impassioned about these subjects as seen in both HN activity as well as the protesting and riots seen in the media. If this segment of people are honestly that concerned and these subjects were clearly concerns for more than two weeks ago then were these peoples’ level of concern then? I suspect this sudden call to concern is more the result of contagious group behavior dynamics and social psychology than a premeditated cognitive concern of independent consideration.
Marine cloud brightening. You are just lofting salt into the ocean air. Put some lofting turbines on the back of cargo ships and you have a massive and (probably!) controllable effect on albedo.
There are also HSA plans, which are not "use it or lose it", but require high deductible insurance plans. I consider the two options targeting two entirely different audiences. If you have high or very predictable medical costs, you only contribute to an FSA what you will use in a year. If you are young, with no pre existing conditions, and generally take care of your own health, you can save some money on premiums with the high deductible plan and HSA, you are unlikely to need to make any claims so the high deductible never comes into play, and you get to keep the HSA through retirement when you are sure to have more medical costs and you get to benefit from the triple tax advantage.
Exactly. Also, Broadcom on this list seems to have one of the higher median pays of $354k. Paysa seems to disagree https://www.paysa.com/salaries/broadcom
It would be great if there were a clear definition of what "pay" means. Sundar Pichai's pay includes his $240m stock package granted in 2019. That's a truckload of stock but is that to be considered pay?

If you start from the axiom that Google should be broken up, this is a reasonable conclusion. But punishing a company for keeping separate products separate would actually undermine most anti-monopoly law.
Are you that worse off if they burn it down? You won’t have to worry about them resisting eviction and you’ll get an insurance payment.
Just to throw my anecdotal experience on the pile: When I get home from a trip, I dump my Nikon D800 photos into Lightroom alongside with the pictures from my partner's M4/3s and both of our recent-model iPhones.

When picking and scoring pictures in Lightroom, all I see is a stream of interleaved photos from all of the cameras, without labels clearly indicating which-is-which.

In the end, I typically choose 80% of the keepers from the Nikon, 15% from the m4/3s camera, and maybe 5% from the two phones combined.

Everyone I know compliments me on "how good a photographer I am", but I'm really not, and I know it. Not one artistic bone in my body. The camera and the lenses I have are incredibly good though! I just press the button, and out pops a fantastic image.
