> The other alternative is to not execute search warrants in that way.

When you boil it all down, this is the answer. The main reasoning behind no knock warrants is to prevent evidence destruction. The harm of a drug dealer flushing some drugs down the toilet versus potentially killing innocent people isn't even in the same ball park. And really, how many flushes can some get in the 15-30 seconds that it takes for cops to rush into the house?

Sometimes the argument is that no knocks are for armed and violent suspects but even then it's not clear a no-knock raid makes it any safer for anybody. Police could just as easily wait until someone leaves the house in the morning and execute the arrest with far less risk.

Seems like no-knock raids should be outright banned for local law enforcement at the least.
Maybe a bit unrelated but who else has always serious page rendering issues when visiting LinkedIn? I do not visit it often but there are so many problems lately that I doubt that I'm the only one, especially since all other sites are fine. These problems appear when I open LinkedIn pages in a tab or for the initial rending but also just when I click on new messages or 'Start'. Is it because of Firefox and/or uBlock Origin?
You say this as a white person, I presume.

Isn't this one of the main things that people are protesting about. Police shouldn't be trained like this. They could also carry things like tasers which allow them to protect themselves without killing anyone.
AFAIK large part of price of classical solar cells is attaching the leads (by manual soldering). Tesla solar roof is one ingenious solution to this problem.

I suspect it could be a problem with these spheres.
But that is not what the DMCA copyright claim says. It does not complain about redistributing the files of a paid OS. The complaint is explicitly about providing a tool to work around technical restrictions, so "just provided an exe and some patch files" will not make microsoft happy.

A common copyright claim of someone sharing copies of proprietary files would not make news. Using the DRM circumvention provision in DMCA is a bit more rare.

My guess is that the technical restrictions being alluded to is the advertisement and telemetry that is baked in.

There are comments here that speculate about the issue being the creation of a derivative work. If the claim had said so it too would be interesting as the line between operative system and user space is always a bit blurry and people been arguing what is what for decades.
Thank you, that's very useful.
Good point, the thing we allow few hundreds of people rule whole countries seems ridiculous even now.

An Ongoing AWS Phishing Campaign
On the whole I agree about darknet being readable, it seemed well written and I've found it useful to grok how training libraries are written. I think they've moved to other backends now for the main computation though.

But.. it was still very much undocumented (and there were details missing from the paper). I think this almost certainly led to some slowdown in porting to other frameworks. And the fact its written in C has probably limited how much people are willing to contribute to the project.

I am also using mermaid. Like Markdown, it has a ton of shortcomings. But just like Markdown, the big win is that it forces me to keep things simple.

Markdown forces me to focus on just the words, not the layout and fancy formatting. Mermaid does the same thing for diagrams: Anything I can draw with a pencil but can't express in Mermaid must be simplified or broken into separate sub-diagrams.

This would be terrible if I was trying to draw a diagram of the entire infrastructure of a modern SaaS company, but is actually good when I am trying to write a post explaining ideas: Multiple simple diagrams interspersed with text get the job done.
In Ohio, many (maybe all?) libraries allow you to apply online for a virtual library card that can be used to check out ebooks/audiobooks/etc. A librarian reviews the application and approves or denies it within a day or so, and you get an email either way. No need to ever visit a library in person.

I'm not 100% sure that this was in place before COVID-19, but I think it was.

To check out physical books, you have to visit a library in person and upgrade the virtual library card to a physical library card.
The term applies to Europe. It does not apply to the Middle or Far East, or the rest of the world. And even then it mostly only applies to Western Europe.

> effectively every US media is name calling companies/universities who have a slightest business with China or Chinese people.

Business with PRC and business with Chinese people are separate matters. I don't know of any North American university that doesn't have "the slightest business" with Chinese people; and "effectively every U.S. media" is not "name calling" them all.

What I have seen, is a select few journalists reporting on the proven PRC-funded academic espionage schemes, where the PRC is illegally bribing academics to privately provide advance copies of U.S. government funded research. The coverage of this has been sparse, and there are whole major outlets who simply have not mentioned it.
Yeah, I’m not saying that it’s categorically wrong to do. I just got the strong sense from OP’s comment that they didn’t have relevant experience. (You do!)

1. All of the important information at Library at Alexandria is documented elsewhere by definition.

2. Sure, 15% of all academics going poof is the exact same thing as the Library at Alexandria burning down.

3. Those are two separate examples

4. You are replying in a thread about how the internet archive making copies of books and allow people access to those is getting them shut down, would you then argue that the Library at Alexandria is also largely meaningless?
It's weird that this isn't more widely known. Alot of my friends are in the medical field, and they are taking a beating personally. Stuff like long term 15-20% pay reductions and furloughs in addition to layoffs.

Not only are hospitals for profit, but their part of cartel-like health networks. For some jobs, its hard to jump because 80% of the work is affiliated with two companies regionally.
I feel like this applies especially to the persistence layer, I pick postgres basically everytime, I don't want any surprises at that layer. The rest you can chuck out and rebuild without too much pain.

In the US, library ebooks have a lot of restrictions like the digital ebooks cost more for the library than physical copies and expire after a certain number of downloads.
Thanks for the reply, it made me think about the book idea. The topic is still too new for a book, but it's a good idea; maybe more of a treatise needs to be written on the subject right now. Regardless, the parents of modern mRNA vaccinology are Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, follow his publications. Here are a couple good reviews to get you started (https://www.nature.com/articles/nrd.2017.243 and https://www.nature.com/articles/nbt.3812). I say modern, because the idea of using modified chemistry is likely going to be key to a successful mRNA vaccine. Without it, the immunogenicty leads to safety concerns and a reduction in transcript expression--it's just too hot. CureVac founder and arguably the first person to really drive the idea of an mRNA vaccine into the clinic is Ingmar Hoerr, but his company started before the idea of modified chemistry. He is a fantastic scientist, but ultimately CureVac came too soon and has triple-downed on canonical uridine. Another issue is they likely can't get FTO so they don't really have a choice. As for blogs/twitter accounts, none of the mRNA people are active on social media likely because the stakes are just too high right now. If you're interested in mRNA beyond vaccines, check out Sek Kathiresan on twitter. He's active. He's the CEO of Verve. Worst kept secret of the gene editing (e.g., CRISPR) world is that everyone is pivoting to using mRNA for expression of the editing enzymes (e.g., CAS9, ADAR, APOBECs).
You’re saying you

1. Look at a candidate’s LinkedIn
2. See common colleagues and reach out, unbeknownst to the candidate
3. Hear negative feedback and just trust it’s true (or at minimum develop a strong bias against the candidate based on hearsay) with no due process for the candidate
4. Reject the candidate / omit them from interview processes to begin with.

I’m sorry but that’s just awful. I have great references who would say positive things about working with me, but I absolutely would never want someone like you to be able to find them like this.

Of late (this year) in my experience the job section is mostly reposts of other jobs or positions already filled or fake roles.

Any post by a company with no logo is virtually guaranteed to be spam. I'm seeing them side-by-side with the real post. It's highly polluted by these bad actors.
> People have a right to own and control the distribution of their works that they invested in creating.

I don't agree. People should be paid for the work they do, yes, but look at all the crap we've had to put up with for trying to restrict an infinite supply. The right model is to pay people to do work, not to pay them for having done work. Yes, it's hard to transition from one model to the other, but the inability to control copying in the Internet age is a simple fact. Gravity makes flying airplanes hard, too. Deal with it.

> To remove that protection from people who have already invested their time and money into creating content under those conditions, is simply to defraud them of that time and money, which for a lot of people could amount to their lives work.

No. Laws can change unilaterally and society does not owe them anything. If they created something today and the law changed tomorrow thereby destroying the economic value of their investment, too bad. That's life.

Copyright and its practically infinite duration defrauds the public out of works that by any reasonable estimate should already be in the public domain. Did Disney worry about that before spending its intellectual property profits on lobbyists in order to get the government to extend the duration of copyright? No. These creators and companies have already made an obscene amount of money, many times over their initial investment. Are we supposed to feel guilty about "defrauding" this industry by changing the laws that enable it?

You should start or join a modern day effort like it if you have such passion for it.
Agreed. I checked my LinkedIn newsfeed and while there's a lot of noise, I don't see any single source for it. It's actually worse, because the spam is now distributed instead of originating from a single bad actor.

It seems like I would have to unfollow everyone, which is not a big deal for me (I don't look at the newsfeed to begin with) but could be problematic if you find some content useful.

When someone advocates for "taking no quarter", they're advocating for killing people. You may say the average person doesn't interpret that phrase that way, but a former Army captain like Cotton knows full well what it means.

The thing about the whole argument of, 'we only advocate cracking down on rioters and looters' is how is someone supposed to get that distinction right in the fog of a chaotic situation? Arrest people and have them face trial. Advocating violent and potentially lethal crackdowns on people in situations like this is what brutal autocracies do.

People never talk about the judge in these cases. This only happened because a judge decided to sign a no-knock warrant. So, ultimately, doesn’t the judge bear a large portion of the responsibility for creating the situation, for the death that resulted? Shouldn’t the judge be the adult in the room, saying “no” to the police, saying that the circumstances are not extraordinary enough to justify the issuance of a no-knock, with the clear risk to life that this entails, and telling them to find another way?
My point was, if they really wanted someone who have experienced discrimination against blacks why pick a mostly white African American who most would consider white if they weren't told otherwise?

I think the effect would be good: the military would handle the situation better and fewer people would get hurt. They're used to operating in hostile situations under restrictive rules of engagement, they aren't the people being protested against, and people who've seen combat wouldn't find thrill or threat in a confrontation with unarmed protestors.

In other words, I think your final paragraph is a false dilemma based on an unsupported assumption.

It’s a shame that this ‘Next big thing’ is the complete opposite of the internet. Instead of opening up the world for anyone to create things, letting small companies compete with large, it is only going to concentrate power with the richest companies and leave small companies unable to get involved.
Before I deleted my profile, I fixed my feed by unfollowing all pages and all news. I unfriended people who were not true friends.

My feed went back to being social rather than emotional manipulation or clickbait news. It was amazing.

Eventually the site lost its value for me because 75% of my real friends deleted their profiles, so it was an awkward/depressing ghosttown. I eventually deleted mine because of ethical qualms.

Also, if you are using an electric saw in your apartment in the middle of the city at any time of day, you are probably a bad neighbor.

I think a lot of the question is going to be, is your goal to work with wood and make things in general, or do you have specific sorts of things you want to make?

There is really no limit to what you can make by skillfully assembling small pieces of wood into large panels, but it's a lot easier to make inlaid wood boxes in an apartment than bookshelves and desks.

A lot of the woodworking you see is furniture making, which typically involves a lot of dimensional lumber and large wood panels which are easiest worked with table saws, planers, joiners and routers, and a large shop and lots of machinery is a boon.

But inlay, woodcarving and even scrollsaw work can be done with smaller pieces of wood and little or no power tools.
That's precisely what I hate about the LinkedIn feed. It's way too positive.

The fake kind of positive. I don't understand why people do that. They're trying to fool other human beings by pretending that everything is awesome, positive, etc.
It was a genuine question from someone who doesn’t use an ad-blocker.

I block trackers, which blocks most ads on the web, but Youtube’s ads are not affected by this, and I’m perfectly fine with that.
To me it seems like (in no particular order): Bill Gates, Satya Nadella, Richard Branson, Guy Kawasaki.
Other companies tried the more or less just a Rolodex thing. The thing is that they still had the same incentives to try to expand your network.

But LinkedIn is basically fine as a way of keeping track of people and potentially contacting those you're not directly connected to elsewhere. I go through my connect requests once a month or so and ignore about half of them. I ignore any messages trying to sell me something or recruiters that are pitching something that's not remotely my thing. (In all fairness, my profile isn't really filled out so it would be hard to know what I actually do or have done.)

I do similarly with respect to notifications which is a good rule of thumb in general.
This is incorrect - the license check is not removed. (It's still a violation of copyright laws because they're publishing a derivative work without permission.)
