I advocate we make a specific law that witnessing a felony action by a fellow police officer and not reporting it become a chargeable offense on its own. We also make it illegal to not make the officer investigations private after some threshold, like 5 diff cases. I get that there are false accusations but they have too much power and we need to go the other way.
Hmmm, let's see if I can make it worse:

"That being said, I don't consider it unreasonable to not believe that collapse is unlikely to not happen by 2030"
I think the only people who would say "yes, I want more oversight and accountability" are those who weren't seeking power in the first place, having it thrust upon them by circumstance and fully understanding the responsibility they bear, and maybe a little horrified at the potential for abuse.
Call me cynical, but I think they're choosing not to fix some stuff on purpose. If they fixed it, their news personalities would look less "in the trenches". If the video has flaws similar to what viewers themselves experience when they try to make Zoom work, then it helps the news media cultivate a relatable "we're all in this together" feeling.

It has become its own cinematography / production style just like the shaky cam style is used to make documentaries feel more authentic or action movies more chaotic.

Congratulations. You have reinvented tally sticks.

Snark aside, I wish you lots of luck, have thought about this model a lot, think there is probably a small place for it in the world.

Two suggestions from random stranger on the internet, take them for what they're worth:

* don't use the word "money." This is a private credit network, not money. Private credit networks sometimes become money, but they don't start out that way. Stick to that language.

* don't solve for "inflation." There is a lot more to say here but fundamentally there is a tension between store of value and medium of exchange. Be a private credit network/medium of exchange, not a store of value.

Good luck!

Steve Klabnik and Sean Griffin were both early adopters of Rust (and are now fairly visible members of the community), and I believe that helped sow the seeds of the language in parts of the Ruby community [0].

I think Rust managed to also cultivate a community that was very much like Ruby’s [1], which brought people over.

[0] cf. Klabnik’s “Rust for Rubyists”

[1] mostly being very “people-oriented” in terms of inclusivity and documentation, as well as putting effort into ensuring that the language and its tooling provide a lot of “developer happiness”

It really just makes it undeniable how political the official advice and accompanying commentary is. The slew of new rules put in place for BLM protests are incredibly dubious, from both a legal and safety perspective. It’s not up to the government to decide what speech or cause for assembly is important, and health officials should not have their risk assessments swayed by political considerations.
It's interesting that at no time is legality or regulation discussed.

The US is no5 in the world for police homicides, just behind countries like the Philippines, Syria, Brazil. Not a record to be proud of - 1,536 in 2019 according to wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforc...

Other countries manage to achieve numbers like 2 for Japan, 3 for the UK, 11 for Germany which is nowhere near even adjusted for population. American police kill more people per capita than almost every other country. Per 10 million people that's:

46.6 for the US

0.5 for the UK

0.2 for Japan
"No matterhow you cut it" is an english expression. It means that no matter the choice of statistics the deaths per day in brazil are very high.

One way to report the numbers is say how many deaths were registered into the system each day. This is the "freshest" statistic you can get, but it mixes data from different days. This statistic can't be used to plot a pandemic growth curve but it can be used to keep track of the total number of deaths.

Another way to measure it is so count the number of people that died on each given day, no matter how long it took for the death was registered into the system. This statistic is different from the first one but but it should be in the same order of magnitude (given that the first statistic is approximately a rolling average of the second one)

The key limitation of the second statistic exact number can only be known after at least a week has passed, because of the time it takes for the deaths to be added into the system. This is where the government's dishonesty comes in. They wanted to change the daily reports so that they would only include deaths that were added to the system in the same day where the person died. Any deaths that were not reported in the same day (which is the majority of deaths) would be left out of the statistics entirely.

I don't think taking weapons away is enough. Police aren't trained to provide long-term solutions to domestic violence, homelessness, mental illness, or drug addiction, which are often tasked with solving. The typical solution law enforcement offers to these situations is to jail someone. Rightly, people don't want to go to jail and the situation escalates. And as we're witnessing all over the US, the police are often responsible for this escalation, and that escalation leads to violence.

I think we need people trained in non-violent intervention who can offer long-term solutions to the problems these people are experiencing. Why not just replace a patrolman with a social worker who can call the actual police should the situation escalate?

>Just to be clear, microservices are not just separate binaries on a network. If you're not following the actual patterns of microservice architecture... you're just complaining about something else

So what you're saying is that the way to avoid this problem in a microservice architecture, is to be disciplined and follow the right patterns. Then couldn't I just follow the same patterns in a modular monolith (eg: avoid shared state, make sure errors are handled properly, etc) and get the bulk of the benefits, without having to introduce network related problems into the mix?

It's tragic how little we know about the Maya compared to what we could have known. Thousands of books were destroyed, primarily by one Spanish bishop, and only four survive today[1]. If that hadn't of happened, it's possible we could have known as much about the Maya as we do about the Ancient Greeks.

Teams of ten. Each service is owned by exactly one team.

That rules out every monolith I've seen at companies that still did that.

But unfortunately, Microservices, becomes a religion, a cargo cult, and companies have hundreds of tiny little services.

My services are not monoliths. But are they microservices? Don't care. They work. Certainly they are just a couple of services within a network of several hundred, but I work at a large company. And every one of those services has one team responsible for them.
Am I missing a double negative? Even if protesting police brutality has negative value, surely protesting lockdowns has even less than that. It would even be valid to say, "Protest anything you want except lockdowns" (assuming the speaker believes the virus is the greatest threat).
I've realized that the biggest obstacle in my life isn't about knowing what to do but mustering the will to do it. Nearly everyone knows a thing or two that they can do to improve their life or to maximize the chance of reaching their goals. But they don't do it. Not even after reading countless self-help books that always promises to solve this exact problem!

I think it is fair to accept the fact that we do _not_ have the full privileges of the system, and sometimes what we want to do gets overridden by other primal behaviors.

This should be the submitted link. I was taken to a Live Broadcast and had no idea what it was and had to come back to the comments here to understand.
>Where'd they "tell us there is no risk from these protests"?

In this quotation: "we do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission". "As risky" seems like a very specific choice of words because they could have said "we do not condemn these gatherings because of the risk" but did not.

Similar to how a judge might say "I condemn you to death" is designating the sentence of death to a subject, "condemning a gathering as risky" is designating the attribute of risk to a gathering. They do not condemn the gathering as risky, so they consciously decide to not designate or apply the attribute of risk to the gathering.

Of course, it could have simply been a mistake to word the sentence in this way, but "as risky" does not seem like the obvious choice of words, "because of the risk" does.

And yes, they do later go on to say to prepare for an increased number of infections and do recognize that protestors can and likely will spread the disease, but that just goes to show that the statement is contradicting itself. They are specifically being inconsistent in the earlier mentioned sentence.
Also works great with graphics. PostScript is similar to Forth.

I'm not quite sure that level of concern is warranted. It is illegal to ask for a medical examination before getting hired and I imagine this would extend to that. Testing poop, even with a smart toilet, would be pretty cumbersome and a huge PR nightmare. It would be just as easy now to remove hair for covert DNA tests - but I don't think that has ever been an issue.

Make a drone that casts away unnecessary parts and turns into a missile when it's close to the enemy.

It can carry half the fuel (or fly twice as long), doesn't need landing mechanisms, can be made with less focus on durability (just needs to survive one flight). It can be very small and fly low (and subsonic) to avoid detection. It could even land and wait near military airports on top of trees etc.

Basically it would work like movable minefields in air. Denying territory to the enemy planes.

For your consideration Breed Specific Legislation doesn't work while strategies that focus on other factors does.

https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/10/25/bsl-and-dog-bites/

> Restricting breed ownership has not reduced the incidence of dog bites. A survey of reported dog bite rates in 36 Canadian municipalities found no difference between jurisdictions with BSL and those without. Likewise, a 2010 Toronto Humane Society survey found no change in dog bites in Ontario in the years before and after Ontario’s BSL.

> Calgary, however, saw a five-fold reduction over 20 years – from 10 bites per 10,000 people in 1986 to two in 2006. Rather than banning breeds, Calgary uses strong licensing and enforcement plus dog safety public education campaigns.

It would be great if you stopped promoting strategies that don't work and started promoting ones that do.

Yes, primarily. But the real answer is because of Lua from Garry's Mod, and the design of the engine is heavily inspired by Source and QuakeWorld. Even today, I still believe Quake is one of the most elegantly designed game codebases in existence.

Planimeter was formerly called Team Sandbox, and we were a group of developers working on a game called Half-Life 2: Sandbox, which was a FOSS alternative to Garry's Mod that stayed Half-Life themed.

The team is comprised of mostly different volunteers now.

It looks like you may have misunderstood what I was saying. The polls pictured that linked to say America is united to defeat coronavirus even at such a high cost.

> Those are for people who are specifically not here legally and therefore don't recieve the full protection of our constitution and laws.

What's the point in calling them 'human rights' if they only apply to Americans. The US Bill of Rights does not make any reference to citizenship or legal immigration status in the 6th or 8th amendments (which seem particularly relevant). Not to mention you still need due process to prove the person does not have legal immigration status in the first place.

There isn't really any ambiguity here, unless the law specifically targets citizens or people with a valid legal immigration status the law protects illegal immigrants as well.

I'm not very well versed in US law but it's my understanding you can't shoot a man down in the street for jaywalking because he's a criminal and thus not protected by the law.

They're being flagrantly irresponsible. If nothing else, messaging and public trust are key parts of any epidemic response. Right now, a conservative might look at this letter and come away with the impression that this is a case of quarantine for thee but not for me. An opinion that wouldn't be unjustified: can you imagine them doing the same thing to provide cover for abortion protests? The right to religious gatherings? It burns goodwill and trust, making significant public health interventions harder both now and in the future.

The reason, of course, is that ignoring the potential for disease transmission in these protests is necessary to stay in the good graces of woke circles.

That sounds very unlikely ?

"The reason" why memory is slower than registers (apart from size obviously) is that register dependencies are static and can be easily tracked by the core. Memory is way harder since you don't know all the addresses in advance (any other random store could actually be storing to the stack).

That's why they have to use costly (associative) structures like the store queue.

The way cores track the stack is usually for return address prediction because it's a huge win for little cost and almost no well behaved program overwrites return addresses manually (low mispredict rate).

As far as I know, all x86 cores emit 2 uops for a push or a pop (load/store + sp adjust). I guess it can save you some frontend bandwidth but that's about it.

(Note: I agree with your general point)
Isn't it ironic how the majority of threads on this forum currently discuss the abuse of power of government officials and the excessive violence of countless law enforcement agencies, while this thread abounds in commenters conspicuously ignorant of the problem?
They're not expressing their support for the protests as a personal or political question separate from their medical expertise. The letter says that "white supremacy is a lethal public health issue", racism is "the paramount public health problem", and the protests are "vital to the national public health". This is beyond simply not making it clear enough; they're deliberately invoking their medical expertise as a source of authority for their political judgments.
Personally I think this is going to be a critical aspect of healthcare in the future. That along with other continuous monitoring like smart watches with advanced pulse rate detection etc. And I think that the health improvements in terms of disease prevention and early treatment will be like night and day. They will look back at the pre-continuous-monitoring era of healthcare as the dark ages.

However, the part that I really disagree with is the idea that it would send your data to the doctor but not make it readily available to you. I personally feel like access to and control over my own personal health data is a human right that is actually often effectively blocked by our current healthcare system.

And I know that the belief is that normal people can't interpret health information, but with AI built into these types of devices and services and online knowledgebases, that isn't completely true anymore. Sure, we absolutely need doctors before making decisions, but that does not mean we should not be able to examine our own health data and do our own computer-assisted research. Especially when so many people cannot afford the costs of routine healthcare.
