I really can't believe that anyone thought that having plain-clothed cops serve a no-knock warrant in the middle of the night with no squad cars or body cameras for a case where the suspect was already in custody made sense. It also doesn't seem like they were expecting armed resistance, probably because they knew the suspect was in custody. Instead, I suspect that these are dirty cops who were essentially trying to burglarize a drug dealer's apartment and got caught off guard when the accidentally broke into the home of some armed but law-abiding citizens.

You're probably right, but suspect you'd find quite a few of people who would not agree (we have a whole legal system based on intent for all sorts of crimes -- most people think it matters.)

With that assumption, don't think it's super constructive to harden oneself to an academic definition that can interpreted as weaponization. There are so many unambiguous examples of racism that can galvanize the majority / help facilitate understanding -- don't see the point in the flippancy / pushing to ball to a place that will be polarizing. You're not changing any minds.
Depth is a fundamental.

I'd suspect those early cages were to prevent accidentally bumping into it, rather than child-safety.

Child-safety is a pretty high bar, even if it's common today. You not only have to prevent someone accidentally hurting themselves, but more-or-less intentionally doing so.

Great comment. Ending prohibition would drastically alleviate so many problems. Not just in the US, but in the whole Western hemisphere. And with almost no downside, since it doesn't even fucking work to begin with.

I can't say I'm surprised. We all knew a second wave would be likely and that was before states reopened early and protesters took to the streets.

The question now is whether or not states will be more squeamish this time about rolling out lockdowns (yes, I think... I'm willing to bet several governors will double down and eat a much larger death toll as a result). What do lockdowns even look like when people are out and on the ground fighting against oppression?

I partially disagree. Verbal communication requires people to do at least some degree of thinking if they want to respond to a view that they disagree with. Whereas social media allows people to "participate" in a discussion (in the sense that they produce feedback which influences the course of the discussion) using a mode of thought that can be summarized as "does this make me feel like pressing the upvote or the downvote button?"

I believe that this latter mode of participant-community interaction is especially conducive to echo chambers, because it reduces any kind of content to a one-dimensional axis: does the community like this, or does the community dislike this?
YouTube is where I watch almost all of my educational / "reality tv" (vlogging, mostly makers) content. Netflix has some pretty good stuff every once in a while, but it has nothing on YouTube. Educational television of the 90s and early 2000s seems to have reinvented itself on YouTube with channels like The Great War, Tested, all of the PBS channels (Space Time, Physics Girl, Infinite Series, etc), Vsauce, 3Blue1Brown, Veritasium, SciShow, all the cooking shows, metal fabrication, music history, history in general. Far to many amazing to name here, but I think I subscribe to at least 30 rather high quality channels that I'd place under "education". I really don't care much for saving music, but I'm getting pretty close to starting to archive some of my favourite channels / series in case they disappear.

I for the most part don't watch Netflix or Hulu anymore. When a big show comes along I'll watch it, but I really enjoy watching other people talk about things they love.s

Even if it's your bank account, you're still using a payment processor. Even if that's your bank, they can also decide not to do business with you.

> Your dependency resolver should handle fetching the new password

According to AWS's documentation, none of the supported dependency resolvers will fetch the new password[1][2][3].

If they were capable of automatically fetching the new password without human intervention, it would mean they have credentials for generating credentials. If this isn't on an EC2 instance (where an IAM role can be used), that means there are long-lived credentials (probably written to disk) used to generate short-lived credentials.

This would be the case if you are using a hosted CI service that doesn't run on your own EC2 instances. You would probably be providing an AWS key and secret, which would then be used to generate the short-lived credentials. But the key and secret won't be short-lived, and will have at least the same access as the short-lived credentials (probably more access).

> Your source code may reference a shared library at a specific version from a trusted source to build. This trusted source is CodeArtifact.

HTTPS is what forms the trust between you and the artifact repository. Short-lived passwords don't do anything to ensure you are talking to the real trusted source. They may make it so the artifact repository can better trust you are who you say you are, but I don't see what they has to do with safely getting a specific version of a library.

Ask HN: Exclusive, per country licence to resell my SaaS
I have built some compliance software to support businesses reopening in the post-COVID world. This software is well established and successful in Australia and now I'm noticing other countries are starting to follow the same approach for reopening.

Instead of expanding the business into each country personally, I'd prefer to licence exclusive use of the software on a per country basis. However, I'm not sure if such a marketplace exists or where I can find people that might be interested in this.

Any advice from the HN community on this?

Hello cookiengineer21,

Thank you for your candid comment.

Firstly I am not looking to compete with the likes of shodan. From that, I need to work on the message to whom the product is catered towards.

In addition, I cannot as a solo developer compete with the likes of other much larger, and distinctly older companies in the space oriented towards pen testers as well as those doing work for large corporations.

My original goal was to offer something a little more sophisticated than something like shields up, but less than a shodan or nessus.

As far as what the initial project goal is to offer port scan as well as potential CVE, detection at an affordable price automated for enthusiasts, small businesses, and IT professionals to keep an idea of how things look from the outside in.

Things could change as this is just an MVP, as well as something that has only been written about a couple weeks ago in my spare time.

If you or anyone else has any questions, statements, or ideas, please reach out to me.

I like what Pine64 guys have been doing, great devices to hack at reasonable price creating foundation for a pure linux based linux mobile devices; of course projects like Ubuntu Touch, PureOS, PostmarketOS maturing at the right time has been a blessing.

Now, this is what I need Pine64 - 'A small pocketable, user repairable linux laptop with GSM module' which can replace smartphone. Current options are GPD[1], One-netbook[2] both of which are expensive, not-user repairable, built for windows.

Then there's planet computer's devices[3], but they seem to be android first although they offer linux as multi-boot option.

Why pocketable linux laptop when there's PinePhone, Librem5? Well, the main bottleneck in the linux app ecosystem is adapting it to the touch screen of the smartphone. I think a pocketable linux laptop could serve well in the interim, may be the form factor will prove better for productivity and will stay as a separate profitable segment.

Yes it seems that New Zealand will attempt to wait for a vaccine and in the mean time impose a quarantine on anyone who arrives from another country. Balaji Srinivasan thinks we will see the world divided into "red" zones where the virus is still widespread and ”green" zones where the virus has been contained. Travelers will be able to move fairly freely between green zones countries. So if you're in Taiwan you might be able to visit Australia or New Zealand without a quarantine.

You’re probably not wrong. I do think we should hold our friends and colleagues to a higher standard. We should be able to have difficult conversations and explain why we feel what we feel. It’s hard when people are defensive for totally understandable reasons.
In regards to the KPIs this is a known reality. Most states get money from the federal gov highway safety program. Then the states disburse it to local police depts, and the expect high numbers of citations (or even warnings) to be reported back up the chain. It is only for DUI that verdicts are considered, and that's only amongst the smarter states. Related to crime, there are NO KPIs based on the final outcome - all on the elements the police are able to carry out and be accountable for on their own. This makes sense in some ways beyond self promotion. I will say also that the general inflation of KPIs in order to justify promotions, grant renewals, etc is RAMPANT in state and local govs, but especially in policing when it comes to new tech investments and promotions

I'm a draftsman that works for a construction company that builds a lot of the infrastructure for these mines. Recently I was looking at some maps with a civil draftee, and I asked him what all the red dots were all over the map. He said they were all Aboriginal heritage sites. There was a lot of them, scattered everywhere. It was like the map had chicken-pox.

So whilst I think it is important to protect this history, some of it can't be that important. I imagine that is what the traditional owners also thought when they signed the agreements. The article mentions "significant cumulative loss", which would become a problem when you sign away the rights to the lot.

But in the case of the cave that Rio Tinto destroyed, surely that was significant enough to protect and work around. I know that it wouldn't take long to design around such a requirement, which makes the outcome even more disappointing.

Agreed. A huge problem I haven't been able to think of is the (already happening in masse) practice of targeting black people because the data says so. However over time police Dept invests data capture resources in "bad areas" - which may have a lot of black residents. I wonder how to separate the defense that some black areas are obviously bad and why would a dept put surveillance resources in a good neighborhood?

I personally feel it's wrong but that's one thing I've always got hung up on in building a critique.
To add to your list of Artifactory and Nexus, Pulp[1] is also a cool project in this space, and is fully open source.

All it claims is that sometimes small specialist companies can swoop in and outcompete big companies in a specific niche. Certainly true. Has nothing to do with technology or websites.

This doesn't dispute your general point, but these are different cases, in case non-Australian readers are confused. That May article was Rio Tinto blasting a much older and more significant site, this newer story is BHP: similar area and operation, but more "recent" and smaller heritage sites.
