That sequence of events is a pretty run of the mill fishing stop. Cops learn how to do that "20 questions" (as I like to call it) routine in training as far as I know. It's designed trip you up into making conflicting statement. Good officers don't tend to make those kinds of stops and when they do it's pretty much a "oh no visible drug paraphernalia, here's a warning and be on your way" and the bad ones don't cut you a break for being white.

That said, it's well documented that blacks get singled out for fishing more but the officer probably treats everyone that way.

With that in mind, this is almost certainly a driving while black stop. The fact that he was stopped without a traffic violation as a pretext for fishing (usually they at least wait for you to go 5-over or touch the yellow line or something) leaves no other plausible explanation for why the officer pulled over a clean late model car and then proceeded to act like a jerk.
Why not use null as a separator?

Sadly, global corporations seem to be mostly able to choose which laws they want to comply with by shifting jurisdictions at will... "Oh no, for _tax purposes_ we're an Irish company! For privacy purposes we're European. For Intellectual Property purposes we're a Delaware C Corp. And, ummm, that department that doesn't exist is officially deputised by the Saudi Royal Family."

> Nothing good comes out of reddit that is not put into reddit from the outside.

The good that comes from inside Reddit is the curation, as much as everyone likes to complain about it.

They have become more proactive about banning hate and grief subreddits and have a system for reporting and shadowbanning bad faith individuals. If anything one could argue they come down a little too hard on borderline controversial subs but it's such a tough line to walk.
How is PHP becoming like JS?
The issue is not with "first-past-the-post", the issue is about the huge divide between North/Northeast and Southeast/South of Brazil. I'd dare say is even worse of a problem that what the US has with Coastal States vs flyover country, or North/South.

The southern, richest states complain about the federal government taking out more than what is put in - which is not always true: a lot of the problems from southern states is that they can't manage their finances and are constantly asking the federal government to bail them out. The people in the poorer northern states complain about not getting money and help even though the they are the biggest beneficiaries from the Union - the problem ends up being that most of these resources are diverted and go to the pockets of the powerful families in those states.

And still, every election cycle everyone gets riled up over who is running for president when it would be better for everyone to look first to their cities and states. And while it certainly would be better for everyone if we could just reduce the power concentrated in the federal level, we have no single practical provision to do that. All that people can do is to root for their dog and realize that nothing ever really changes in a positive way.

Aside: Lula is no saint. Worse than that, he is the devil that fools you into believing his kind soul and uses it to rob you blind. He is the one that brought this polarization to 11 with the goal of consolidating more power. He is the one that was making the state ever bigger during a few good boom years. He talked loudly about "working for the poor" but his (and Dilma's) economic policies were favoring always a few exclusive group of an elite that was interested in keeping him in power. Cronyism was rampant. It was under his tenure that the endemic corruption became systemic: every government contract job had a kickback scheme which would fuel his party and his allies.

It was no conspiracy that put Lula in jail. He was the leader of what was essentially a kleptocracy who subverted all institutions to work in his favor. And none of that would be so easy to do if the people in the states had more control over what happens in Brasilia.
It's not like Amazon is bad at AI. The problem they're solving for is legitimately hard, which is why it's so frustrating that it's been put in production in a way that can really harm people.
Nice! I bought a (new) Rancilio Silvia, precisely because it seemed that it should last: simple, spare parts availability, community of people modding & repairing; but I'm still impressed at nearly half a century!
Agree but disagree. In the context of police, the union brings a sort of solidarity across local borders. If individual lots don't want to be generalized as police, they should voice dissent (as some have done of late).

Suggesting that you can fix ethical issues in a company by putting a civil rights expert on the board, is a bit like saying you can make a software company secure by putting a bouncer on the board!

It doesn't make a lot of sense! These issue issues are structural, and run a lot deeper than board representation optics.
Get YouTube premium. You won't regret it.

The added benefit of listening to audiobooks on YouTube while doing other things on your phone make it worth it.

YouTube premium = no ads, Spotify + audible + supporting creators + more productivity on mobile (pip mode). Also you can download videos for a flight/later.

Ask HN: Ways to make a small amount of extra cash during the pandemic?
I thought it would be interesting to see how people have made a bit of extra cash on the side during the pandemic.

I am not talking about SaaS side projects, more exchanging time for money kind of thing. Or anything that just makes money straight away without weeks of upfront 'investment':

Here are mine:

Got invited to trial out some software for Microsoft, got a gift voucher $150.

Did some mentoring on mentorcruise.com, about $160 in total. Stopped as I didn't want to spend the time anymore, so stopped taking on new mentors then let the current ones leave once they were done.

Did some mentoring/coding on codementor.io, about $300 in total. Stopped as I didn't want to spend the time anymore.

I don’t see how the current treatment of the police in the press is any different than other life-and-death professions.
It is not complicated. Like any espresso machine it is necessary to clean the water reservoir, the shower screen, once a month or so.

I made some changes. The most important was the replacement of the thermostat for a digital control with LCD (PID).

I've also changed the seals a few times.
> Just because some existing process requires expertise, doesn’t mean that we cannot come up with a new process that will not need that skilled operator as a step.

However, completely wiping out a process (replacing sheet metal fabrication with plastics) is not particularly "automation" of said process. You've just changed where the expertise is rather than automated it away.

Replacing injection molding machine operators with 3D printing machine operators is automation because it makes some people go away/requires less expertise.

Most of us will wind up with some form of mental or physical degradation… that may mean Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's, or psychiatric conditions, or horrific cancer (eg. prostate, breast, uterine, COPD/emphysema, etc.) that weakens us for months or years at end-of-life. The fact is, there are so many things that can go wrong regarding health in one's mid-to-late years, that expecting to manage a complex identity/password system is unrealistic.

Not for me. old.reddit.com flies while the new ui is a stuttery broken mess that requires more clicks for the same actions.

Unpack the RAR file somewhere, open the configuration tool inside, configure as desired but ensure the "Show details pane on the bottom" is enabled. You'll then get an explorer that looks very similar to the Windows 7 style, complete with the exact same Win 7 details pane which frankly is a lot more useful than the basic one in Windows 10.

If you find a better one that is not absolutely arcane and frustrating to use, let me know.

Until then, Jitsi is "good enough", even if it's still pretty rough in certain parts.
A big problem is that novices don’t know which parts need to be copied and sometimes don’t even notice what they are missing, so without either (a) getting a decent amount of expert feedback or (b) extensively reasoning things out from first principles and then doing a lot of trial and error, it’s easy to copy extraneous elements or skip essential ones.

A lot of methods and devices that we end up stuck with today in various contexts are just watered down copies of things that were once great, because all of the superficial features were slavishly copied by multiple generations of people who didn’t understand the original constraints or think about which ones have remained constant and which have changed.

I'm talking about direct retribution over prevention i.e. people visiting the sites without touching anything aren't directly impacted by those who do touch, however they're directly impacted by putting up glossy glass over those same sites.

Those visiting the sites who do touch that which they're told not to face direct retribution and serve as a warning to others not to do the same.
Does anyone know how exactly is the Police integration done with Rekognition? I mean, they must have it integrated into their IT systems, right? Who did that integration? AWS itself? Or some consulting companies? Or the PD's Tech Department?

If there is even a slight incline, and I put my foot on the floor, it will not hold 60mph.

Without an incline it will physically not go 80mph.

It'd be a bit ironic if we go back towards curated search engines (i.e. catalogs of the 1990s) due to the algorithms making a mess of it.

There was something magical about diving into a hierarchy of arbitrary classification and finding links to new sites you never knew existed.

Nowadays I never discover new gems on Google. Only Pinterest/Quora/fake-Instagram junk.

Not that Edison wouldn't have included DRM if he could have done.
"using nuclear now" is part of the scenario. Any technology that has brought more efficient, less co2-intensive energy thus far has been used to increase the energy usage at a limited impact, instead of decreasing the impact. Only a policy focused on reducing (or at the very least, stopping the increase) energy usage can have positive final results.

À significant part of the population accepted a drastic and sudden lifestyle change over the last few months. Suddenly remote work and visio conferences are acceptable alternatives to driving 2tons of metal through 30km of asphalt 2x a day. Change is possible.
So you are capable of writing a script in Python that always catches SIGINT and SIGTERM, exiting gracefully without an exception stack being thrown by core code? No? Right… no. Python is literally the only language I've used that cannot do this. Even PHP can do it. For real, PHP is overall a shit language (it has zero async/threading support), but it still handles signals according to POSIX (eg. it doesn't override signal handlers unless userland code does it, preserving default SIG_DFL behavior), unlike Python which breaks that simple contract. The "KeyboardInterrrupt" exception being thrown by core code before userland code is parsed and executed is such an extreme bastardization of POSIX standards that Python is simply, inexcusably, broken.

I stand by my opinion that Python is not well-suited to applications written by a professional entity, intended to be shipped to 3rd-party clients. Python plays too loose with the fundamentals provided by the operating system to be a professional language.

I'd be interestd to see how much faster Laravel is compared with Rails and also how they compare in memory usage. Last time I looked on Techempower I was surprised to find Laravel performing more slowly than Rails in some of the examples.
Hi from another Canadian. Here in Ontario it is illegal to ask employees to perform any work-related tasks while on holiday and I am 99.9% sure the same is true in Quebec (we have an office in Montreal). Whether you wish to enforce that is up to you.

I’ve lived in various states all around the US and traveled for work often and honestly when I’m in most cities now I can’t tell them apart too terribly much besides native accents, weather, architecture, and some landmarks - the chain and corporate restaurants homogenized each place so much it’s a blur of random logos for myself. I can say the same for various rural areas I’ve visited though in a different way except there’s different chains (Dollar General being the one common logo) and naming conventions for run down local places that seem like Madlibs.
Doing the same thing but faster and cheaper doesn't necessarily mean it's better. If there's a high cost to a procedure, then the user would need to show the value of checking a candidate in some other way for it to be worth the effort. Making it easier and faster means you're more likely to check against random innocent individuals.
What you say about the coffee temperature is true as far as I've been able to determine, but didn't McDonalds change their cup design in response to the injury? From what I understand, the cups they used at the time were prone to collapsing.
Monorepo/multirepo (and monolith/microservice which often tags along) seems like a false dichotomy.

There are costs to having big repositories (e.g. TFA and needing to do scaling work), and there are costs to having lots of repositories involved in producing a unified working result (dependency resolution is NP-complete in many of its useful formulations). Big players have the muscle to optimize Mercurial and Git, so they get to do super slick trunk-only monorepo development at engineer-commit scale, but still often have auxiliary repositories that take e.g. machine generated commits. Smaller players probably aren’t hitting scaling limits on these tools. But every situation is different and if one approaches it as an engineering problem you can usually do something very workable.

Likewise with monolith/microservice: there is a happy medium where you introduce a network boundary for an engineering reason (maybe one part of my computation needs a lot of CPU but a different part needs a lot of RAM, so they run on different SKUs/instance types). My big giant web app that dates to the founding of the company? Probably don’t want to rewrite that so let’s spin services out of it incrementally when I need to write something in C++ or use a shitload of RAM or whatever. That’s bread and butter systems engineering.

But this “pick a side” mentality where it’s like one giant ball of PHP in one giant Subversion repository or every team has their own little service in their own little repo and I burn 40% of my cycles parsing JSON isn’t a set cover: you’re allowed to choose a happy medium.

Just do things for valid technical reasons and don’t have Conway’s law go apeshit on your architecture by shattering it into a zillion pieces. The human factor stuff can be addressed with engineering rigor and consensus. “This is too slow to be in Python now” is a good reason to make a service. “The iOS team shares no code with the web team and bisects will be faster/easier” is a good reason to make a repo.

“I want to have my own coding style and/or use some language no one else knows and/or learn k8s and/or not deal with that team I don’t like” are not engineering reasons to type ‘git init’ or make a network call.
War is coming. Any company doing business with China - and complying with the demands of the CCP’s security apparatus - needs to examine it’s choices no less rigorously than what we’ve seen in other human rights vs technology conflicts this week amd this year.
They're so hostile to their own users I'm not sure they get accurate results from their metrics.

- They change you back to the new design every few days.

- They constantly tell you to use the app (thankfully you can disable this at least).

- The old reddit design has a sidebar with helpful content, but this is not automatically present in the redesign. If you're a mod you have to manually copy that content over to the redesign and keep both updated separately. A lot of mods don't seem to know this so some communities just don't have their community information in the redesign.

- The new redesign on mobile web is so bad that those that don't know about how to get the old design will probably use the app to get something that works.

I'm glad old.reddit still exists, but I think if they just scrapped the entire new site it would be a better product. Probably worse for 'engagement' though because without infinite scroll, gifs loading everywhere, and other addictive hacks, people would just read what they wanted to and leave. The horror.

(Also r/hnblogs traffic has most people using the old design, but there's an obvious selection bias in that community.)
This is why the first/second generation Leaf batteries sell for REALLY cheap from used battery dealers. They're generally in poor condition. As compared to harvesting used 18650 cells in the 2500mAh range capacity from other 'used' sources, and building a DIY powerwall that way.
Even for businesses the focus is usually on cutting demand at times of high prices, not the converse.

The contract looks something like "You pay 10% less per kWh, but in return we get to turn off the power to this part of your warehouse for up to one hour per day". It works for places that have, say, big industrial freezers - set the thermostat half a degree lower and the outages aren't a problem.
Making purely symbolic corporate gestures in response to popular social issues and banning everything that doesn’t fit the mold.
Yes, but that is likely due in part to Reddit’s desire to deprioritize making the web client good relative to mobile. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If it was all socioeconomics, you could see that in the data. You would control for parent's income and/or education, and you would see disparity disappear.

I don't know what is the primary cause of disparities but i wouldn't assume it's all socioeconomics without evidence.

Maybe different groups are valuing things differently? For example, an Indian may try to migrate to US using PHD as a gateway. So they may be more willing to sacrifice and work hard. Or maybe for some groups PHD (or education in general) brings more prestige compared to others.
Does the same apply to users from mainland China or companies like Zoom? If not, why not?
Interesting. It opens on the deep link in my app every time with iPhone XS Max.
True, probably if I did not have my old macbook handy I would pay the $100. When it dies or becomes unusable I'll pay for VueScan. For now I'm telling myself I'm keeping two pieces of old tech out of the land fill.

The speed graphic is a neat camera. I used to have a busch press camera of a similar vintage but sold it a few years ago. Never used enough to justify keeping it. Plus it was just too heavy for my style.

My oldest camera in regular use is my Leica M2. The serial number dates it to 1958. It was my favorite camera until a Rolleiflex stole my heart. If you haven't tried one yet I really recommend it. With the exception of the film counter resent lever that is too easy to bump on accident the 2.8f is the most well thought out camera I have used. I like to take portraits and people really gravitate to the Rolleiflex. It's a lot of fun.
It's asshole behaviour, plain and simple.
