Why don't we just tell it like it is? The majority of comments here reflect the fact that Reddit is a garbage site run by a garbage company. Used to be great, more garbage every day. They leverage network effect to abuse their users and to suck. I look forward to the day they fail and the free market replaces them.

I would also suggest watching Steve Ramsey [1], he puts a lot of effort to explain simple and beginner stuff. I believe he still has a PDF in his website about filling a workshop for under 1000 USD.

But there are lots of apps that aren't actively maintained, and so will never get recompiled, even if they could be. And even the ones that are actively maintained might not be ready and recompiled on day 1. Emulation would go a long way to make the transition less painful.
Off the top of my head, you may just have to set the screen to B&W. Another option would be to boot in System 6 which may give it less trouble than System 7. Can you be specific about what happens when you try to run it? Though it occurs to me I had Beyond Dark Castle on my Macintosh, not the original.

Very cool. Never seen anything like this, though they may exist. Well done
Laser printers project the image onto a drum using a laser and a spinning mirror. There can easily be issues with the scale accuracy. Ink jet printers conventionally move the head along a linear rail with a timing belt and stepper or servo motors; that better guarantees the precision as the pully diameter and step size or encoder resolution are the items determining precision.
Are they? If a group of people feel preyed upon and these, plain clothes officers with weapons, no-knock entered, they got what they deserved period.

The onus is on the enforcement to manage damage, not a citizen who doesn't even know its coming. The intelletualizing of this is ridiculous, its a common sense issue.
Society is comparable to a software module producing business process in that it's humans working together. Agreed that in both contexts there is no such thing as "root cause" at the American society level.

Regardless, my personal choice for one would be technology.
If Reddit's metrics confirmed that people preferred the app, they wouldn't have to push so hard for it.

Did you read the entire article? You think that it was OK for some gunfire after some confrontation, but didn't question what the brief confrontation was?what about the past where the police claimed to break the door down and we're immediately meet with gunfire? So what was the brief confrontation? And where does it come from? I don't think anyone involved said there was a brief confrontation.
And why did the boyfriend call 911 and report someone kicked his door in and shot his girlfriend?

Personally I would be questioning the need for a no knock warrant on a house that "might" have been a drug drop.

One thing I don't get, is how three officers managed to miss the guy shooting at them.
What category of site do you observe this issue on? My curiosity suggests that there may be a huge UX problem for extreamly popular sites; banks, government services, etc., where a large percentage of their usage base absolutely will entery 100% incorrect information unless extrenous safe guards are in place.

Essentialy, if your site targeted every age demographic or even had a preference for older and/or less tech savy demographics, how can you prioritize the edge case that <0.00001% of your users has their own lastname.tld vs is entering an incorrect email address.

I don’t believe anyone genuinely hears a word like this and thinks, “your use of that word offends me due to its etymology.” I think it takes someone with a certain immaturity to go searching for things that offend them and reenforce their political bubble.

This is my definition of virtue signaling: Vapid action which serves no purpose other than evoking a pat on the back from your politically-like-minded peers. It’s not specific to a political party, but it disgusts me whenever I see it.

Noob question: please tell me that it's simple to remap the keyboard so that it matches, say, a Swedish keyboard layout?
Yes it does. Building a board and management team that is more representative of the demographics in society is an effort to reduce the effect of in group bias.

This is important because the argument that someone picked with their race in mind to achieve this goal is used to create the subtext that the person would not otherwise have been qualified and is used to undermine their legitimacy and the legitimacy of the goal to eliminate in group bias.

This is a real problem because it distorts the discussion from the real argument. In reality if we want a true meritocracy, as most proponents of anti affirmative action / opponents diversity goals claim then we should want the widest funnel of candidates possible. What we actually have is a small funnel of people that, while not intentionally racist, classist or discriminatory, results in exclusion of many people. We’re all worse of for it.
To clarify, I’m not denying that the Taylor’s boyfriend had the right to shoot first. My point is that the NYT readers generally don’t believe in the right to bear arms, or for armed homeowners to shoot at intruders. If you reject that premise, it becomes much harder to understand why the police did something wrong. That’s why the NYT buries that fact instead of reporting it in the straightforward chronological order.
Good grief.

The article states,

> Attorneys general from 46 states,

So what four states aren't party?

> Arkansas, California, Georgia, New Hampshire, South Dakota, and Wyoming

…that's six. So the actual complaint, what does that list? 43 states.

Texas. Texas is not in the complaint, plus the six you list.

The only way I can get the article's 46 is if I count just the number of lines in the complaint, but Puerto Rico is listed and some states span two lines due to the length of their names. Thankfully we abbreviated Rhode Island.

Yes, he just has to find that job. First let me say in the worst case that he/she can't find a job because the economy is doomed or trump is reelected, if they were to take (or work on their own) some basic cs undergrad (data structure, algorithms, theory of computation) and then get an MS in CS they would be imminently employable. This is true no matter what else happens.

Unless a company can use their specialization it would be hard for them to pass the interview bar for a regular dev (without some preperation). If they get some exp in a company, and it includes significant programming then they can start to be a dev. Programming has such a giant demand for workers that if you have recent experience and you can code and pass an interview then no one cares about your professional degree.

Get that first job, learn on the job, and you can be a dev.
> This is what I think many forget when they speak against lockdown and for "herd immunity" - that this would not only result in a huge ammount of unnecessary deaths, but also pretty much wear out if not outright kill a signifficant part of medical personel.

Actually, no. You're parroting nonsense.

The US cannot do testing and tracing because they waited too late, with 100,000 airline arrivals per week from China before (and during) the travel ban. So lockdown and masks accomplish nothing in the long run - we will all get corona until there's herd immunity, whether that's sooner or later.

And half of hospital staff have been laid off. Many could be retrained in weeks or months to work in a corona ICU - watching a monitoring machine for a drugged, intubated patient isn't harder than anything else in an ICU.

I think you nailed it on the head with, it is 'just not a useful thing to do'.

This seems like a clear example for why facial recognition is a technology that is just not 'solved' yet. The appearance of people's faces, especially from similar ethnic backgrounds, is just too similar for a ML model to parse out with any confidence.

I have noticed this in real life. As I get older, I notice it more and more. I'm sure many of you all have too. There are very distinct patterns, or 'buckets', that human faces tend to fall in. I think our brains tend to naturally categorize them accordingly.

It is probably subconscious. I might not be able to articulate it, or put a definite 'name' on a group. But I know I am constantly seeing patterns of faces in public. People I don't know, and have never met, but they remind me of other random people I have seen in public. Or maybe they remind me of a popular celebrity that everyone knows.

Either way, something goes off in my head. I can't help but think to myself, they must have some sort of similar lineage, or genetic background. I subconsciously categorize them into a bucket with others I've seen.

I imagine this is similar to how Rekognition, and other models work. I thought the blog post from the parent commment @bko, is a fantastic example of this. It is actually amazing, when you think about it, that the ML model can match these faces up as well as it does.

To the naked eye, it is clearly not the same person. Rightly so, considering all the images were in the range of 70-80% confidence. But many are remarkably close. I think this illustrates, the concept I am trying to describe. You can notice it, even with the naked eye.

All of this rambling is to say, I agree with Amazon's moratorium on Rekognition.

As impressive as the technology is, it should probably not be used to try pin-point specific individuals yet, or whatever else folks might be erroneously trying to use it for. If we are to trust facial recognition to identify specific individuals, it should probaly be approaching near 100% confidence, and I imagine that level of confidence is a long ways off.
I get the meme, but let’s try to leave the memes on imgur please yeah? I would hate for this site to become another memetic point generator.
Indeed, I’m reminded of the Attorney who runs “Flex Your Rights” who once saw officers write someone a ticket and waited until after the police were done so he could talk to the person about their rights.

His encounter with those same officers a few minutes later was caught on body cam: https://youtu.be/28w6xvRj9EM

This is a guy who is arguably as “privileged” as it gets for someone pulled over by the police: highly educated white guy attorney who hadn’t done anything wrong. And he was charged with two (very minor) crimes.

It’s easy to give the advice to exercise your rights but it’s difficult in practice when the retaliation by those in authority is so clear.

there was a comment posted by rayiner that was quickly deleted

>It’s a Constitutional (and undoubtedly contractual) requirement. Police officers are employed pursuant to a contract. A contractual benefit is considered a property interest that cannot be taken away without “due process.” Hence police officers remain employed (and getting paid) until an investigation establishes they actually did something wrong. Private employers don’t need to provide due process so this doesn’t apply.

probably deleted because it's wrong; deleted before i could submit my response:

>It’s a Constitutional (and undoubtedly contractual) requirement.

you're wrong

> “Property interests, of course, are not created by the Constitution. Rather, they are created and their dimensions are defined by existing rules or understandings that stem from an independent source such as state law—rules or understandings that secure certain benefits and that support claims of entitlement to those benefits.”

so it's a matter of “legitimate entitlements”. in fact "legislature may elect not to confer a property interest in federal employment" and moreover in Bishop v. Wood SC accepted a lower court's opinion that police are employed at will even if discharge is conditional on due process.

People saying it doesn't make it true. The only argument you've made is quibbling about the order in which the facts are introduced. I see 7 subheadings in the story. The details of who shot when follows the second one. But not putting it first is evidence of an agenda? Come on.

In my experience WA and OR police make up their budgets with traffic tickets, especially from out of state drivers because those generally won't be motivated to fight in court. You will find yourself targeted especially in touristy areas ( on the OR coast for example).

Additionally, all around MSFT campuses in the old days there'd be cops waiting to catch exiting employees going 36 in a 30 (exactly 5+ over) at the end of the month to fill their quota.

There used to be a host of lawyers on the Eastside who specialized in getting rid of traffic tickets for MSFT employees on technicalities. It was cheaper than having your insurance jacked up.

I got a traffic ticket every 6 months or so in WA (all of them for 6 miles above in a residential, because I drove like an old man even when I was young). Since moving to CA, in almost two decades I've gotten exactly one for rolling a stop sign. My driving habits haven't changed.

All that to say traffic enforcement is a relied-upon income stream for some places in the US.
Curious if you’d share more? Is there a faction of historians who don’t share this viewpoint?

I’ve always been curious as I studied the Classics (Greece and Rome) and then European History (which in American high schools is 1400AD+).

I have no insight into that intermediate period.
> The US cannot do testing and tracing because they waited too late.

"Cannot"? Why wouldn't it just require a much bigger effort?

I've been flabbergasted by the lack of wartime thinking this whole time in the US. We know how to mobilize things and build logistical supply chains, why can't we apply that to a in-country medical battle?

Not only did the US governments (at all levels) demonstrate incompetence early, we've now given up on even trying to be competent.

That bodes poorly for future events.

If you're a person who can work from home and isolate, or just someone who's not scared because you think your personal odds are good, then it burning through the rest of population faster is better than it burning through more slowly, which is the best most of the country had gotten through their restrictions. But wow... what a low standard for our country.
They want to dump on platforms for taking action against hate speech and instigating violence because "someone else censored political activism". It's a disgusting point of view.
The way things are trending, I expect it to start rising again.

Many southern states are rising rapidly, as well as in the southwest.

Here in NC we're double what we were a month ago in both daily new cases AND current hospitalizations.

There would have to be a lot more insured CLOs to represent systemic risk. The total nominal amount of CLOs is just not great enough to cause a systemic collapse.

If you look at what the other guy said in this thread, taking WFC as an example, they have ~$2T in assets, and $27B in CLOs. They could lose every dollar in CLOs at once and the firm would still be fine.

There are certain smaller companies and brokers that deal in CLOs that would not be having a fun time if CLOs went belly up as a whole. The banking system would be fine. There is simply not enough of that paper out there to pose a systemic threat.
> Were they not supposed to shoot back when Taylor’s boyfriend shot at them?

How about: they should be held responsible for the preventable death of this woman in a situation they directly and deliberately created? Is that not the problem?

I don't think anyone is demanding a first degree murder conviction here. They didn't walk in with the intent to kill her. But they sure as shit did kill her, and it's all their fault that it happened. Sounds like open and shut manslaughter to me.

I'll never understand why people thought it was a good idea to design static type systems that can't express nullability/non-nullability in the first place. In a Java codebase every single object reference is a potential land-mine, and the only way to be totally safe is to add a null check before every single access or method call. So most people just roll the dice until something inevitably breaks.
Awesome article. It's very thought provoking.
I feel like my conclusions align in spirit with where you are, but don't want to put words in your mouth.

I feel very strongly, that at midnight, if a door is broken down, into the home of someone who legally owns a gun, it is my expectation that the owner of that gun shoots first and asks questions later.

To be clear: shooting first and asking questions later is stupid. I hope people think more than that, but in a moment of panic, chaos, surprise, and fear, I would do the same.

In this power dynamic, where an organized, state sponsored force is forcibly entering the private home of a citizen unannounced, and plainclothed (though let me admit, I doubt I'd be able to spot a uniform in those circumstances), I do expect the state sponsored force to be trained, experienced, and to be acting in good faith.

I do not read that this situation was acted out in good faith. The fact that there was someone inside with a gun, that the gun was fired, and that happened between a door being kicked in, and any other communication is meaningless to me.

Everything that happened before that is meaningful.

1. All criminals in case already arrested

2. no criminals present at location of raid

3. no (to my knowledge) plan/knowledge/prep for armed people at the location, despite that information seemingly being available (legal gun owner, clear association, I mean, we can assume the police can make that association, since they were able to do so with the ex-boyfriend who was already under investigation? Am I being facetious? Maybe.)

This should have never happened, and what happened after the door was knocked down is not what needs to be reviewed, focus on the top of the funnel: cops executing no-knock warrants on non-violent locations where no criminals are known to be present and also where a known associate of the homeowner is a legal gun owner. Don't kick that door down at midnight in a surprise raid. It's sloppy, and not work I accept.
The US did not lock down. A portion opted to stay at home if they could afford it, several industries were deemed essential (often with ridiculous inclusions), and the brunt is being borne by folks in poverty. We had between 40% and 60% reduction in urban mobility, much less in rural areas, and an increase in stay at home rates on par with a census block groups median household income. Then we re-opened too early. This is why there is no endgame in site.

> If you don't want cycle-accurate simulator based papers, you'd have to eliminate a large variety of body of work only possible with this approach.

yes. Most "cycle-accurate" results are garbage. Do you show error bars on your results? Can you? Did you run on a variety of independently implemented simulators and show the results on all of them? Did you run the full reference inputs to SPEC all the way through? Why not?

The answer seems to be that it would be hard. But guess what, science is hard. Try complaining to a biologist sometime about your architecture paper that took so long to write, where you gathered all the results 2 weeks before the paper deadline.

It's fine if you come up with a new idea and run some simple proof-of-concept runs to show it might have merit, but don't pretend the results from an academic simulator hacked together by a sleep-deprived grad student have any real world merit.
Why are they getting their scrubs exposed to the ‘outside’ at all?
Nuance, and some might say the truth, is the first casualty of a propaganda war.
I don't give a benefit of doubt to any cop. Cops are biased; they are good at implanting evidence to ruin lives; if there is no third party evidence, cops can get away with anything they say and do. Finally, without coercion no state can function. Of course, political philosophers sell us "social contract" theories in order to hide 'coercion' of the state power. Police force is the manifestation of that coercion. That's why the wealthy/elites don't care about injustices committed against minorities and the powerless by the police and judiciary.
