Baltimore police have willfully chosen to disengage with community policing. There was no real “reduction in policing”.

Their budget has also risen by about $60 million since Freddy Gray. No real change in department culture other than low officer morale.

This is an example of the more “moderate” police reform in action: no fundamental change to police structure, just some new training and procedures. It didnt work. Officers hate it so they pouted and disengaged.
If an apartment block were riddled with termites, asbestos, and concrete cancer, the people saying that it should be demolished aren't proposing that the residents revert to sleeping under the stars in the empty lot left behind.

Likewise, the people proposing that the MPD be abolished aren't saying that Minneapolis should go without a police force, just that they need a whole new one, without the legacy of the old one.

Right. It’s not the job of public health officials to make judgments about what risks are worthwhile. If we can protest with acceptable levels of risk, we should’ve been able to keep more of the economy operational with acceptable levels of risk. The advice shouldn’t differ because public health officials think social justice is more important than the economy.

I think these are closer to aphorisms than "models of thinking". In that sense take them or leave them if the are applicable to your life.

"there are no calculations being done"

Calculations on what, exactly? There are calculations done on how police brutality and systemtic racism contribute to decreased quality of life for black americans. It's considered widely acknowledged within the healthcare industry that black americans have statistically significant health disparities compared to other races, and that additionally it is statistically known that the covid19 shut down primarily affect the service industry, which hits people of color disproportionately towards white people (as people of color are less likely to have jobs that can be worked from home).
I posted this as an "Ask HN" and it sank like a lead zeppelin. Here's working TCP-only forwarder code.
Just from taking a look, it seems like there are two use cases where one would really want to use this:

1. Programs that do a lot of IO to and from regular files, and that don't want to bother with a thread pool. For this reason I would expect to see it land in the golang runtime, and in other event loop implementations like libuv.

2. Legitimately IO bound programs, which can use SQ polling. Other users of aio fall in this category, as well as qemu.

For everything else, it looks like epoll is still mostly an equivalent choice to io_uring? Has anyone got any benchmarks for using io_uring in a typical network daemon, i.e. something that would generally be bound by socket I/O?
Then why were laws put into place to shut down everything if it's okay to participate in large-scale group activities as long as you're wearing a mask? And more importantly, why were Americans being told specifically not to wear masks during the opening months of the pandemic?
> legally accepted into its borders.

You should read up on who's in these camps. Most are asylum seekers. Applying for asylum is legally recognized under the Geneva Convention. Hell, I just watched a documentary where an asylum seeker was asked to come to the Tijuana/SD border for his asylum interview, thrown into detention ICE, and then transferred from one center to another before finally being deported a year later. He was imprisoned for asking for asylum, not being in the US illegally.
I think the argument against a custom IR is that once you start optimising your IR for compactness you'll probably end up near Forth in the design space anyway. As you say perhaps making the IR stack-based.

Once you're at that point you may as well just use Forth, especially since it's got a proven ability to work in these kinds of resource contrained, self-hosting/self-bootstrapping environments.
> a set of registers that cache the top of the stack and is as fast as the other registers

I could have sworn I'd read something like this - the 'top' words of the stack always being kept in a very low-level cache - but I was unable to find a source on it.

There was a scene in one of the culture novels (I can’t remember now but maybe Excession?) where a ship Mind narrates the progress of a battle to a human onboard.

Forgive my poor memory but it was a really cool battle. The Mind explained methodically and gleefully how it found and destroyed a bunch of enemy ships.

Anyway, at some point the human asks a question and the Mind says something along the lines of, “oh, the battle is already over. It only lasted three seconds”.

Maybe someone can help me remember where this happened.

No; a conventional wheelbarrow rests its weight on a wheel at the front and on the human holding the handles at the other end (since it's impossible to balance on the front wheel).

The sailbarrow has a large central wheel that bears the weight, relieving the human of the need to personally support the weight of whatever's being carried.
I think I've had my own moment of clarity that spans both Forth(s) and Lisp(s) and explains why neither is as common as other languages.

In most common languages, there is a complicated base spec that covers many cases and defines a broad range of affordances, plus libraries and libraries that expand on an already fleshed out collection of tools and etc.

Forths and Lisps give you the core of an environment, and let/expect you to build on the foundation to create your own implementation. Like someone else in this thread said, N programmers, N dialects. Or, more accurately, every Forth program is its own DSL for accomplishing its work.

> Certainly within the EU, eggs are generally of a higher standard than in the US; there are generally completely safe to eat raw in the EU, whereas this would be unwise in the US.

This is a myth. There are different sanitary requirements resulting in tradeoffs (i.e. longer fridge life in US due to the rapidness with which eggs enter a fridge, longer shelf life out of fridge in europe), but in both cases the risk comes from salmonella in the yolk before the shell forms and would be unaffected by the differences in sanitation of the resulting egg. I would think the risk of raw eggs would be approximately the same.
“This is how to contemplate our conditioned existence in this fleeting world:”

Who decides? Reasonable people can believe that protesting orders that shut down people’s’ livelihoods is a just cause. Publix health officials sure as hell shouldn’t be making those judgment calls.
Let me expand on what I wrote: From a professional perspective, you should be assumed guilty, and probably loose your job, if you are accused of something and your body cam was not on. Because even if the accuser is lying, why was your camera off?

From a legal perspective, I think a cop without a body cam should be given the exact same rights as a private citizen, including around the use of force. The right to use force comes with responsibilities, like having a body camera.

And when standing in court as a private citizen, a body cam which just happened to get turned off at the exact time of the incident should be viewed with extreme suspicion. Not proof in itself, but a very serious black mark.
I mean it takes time to switch between vendors but most other CDNs support similar stuff.
To add in both sides of the balance sheet in this example:

Balance sheet, ignoring Capital (Assets = Liabilities + Capital).

In your example:

Before IOU lending, the goldmith's balance sheet is: 2 Gold (asset); 2 Gold-equivalent Deposit Certificates (liabilities). 100% backed deposits.

Lending 1 Gold: 1 Gold (asset), 1 Gold-loan (asset); 2 Gold-equivalent Deposit Certificates (liabilities). 50% backed deposits, as the regulator asks for. That sounds like a Liquidity Coverage Ratio though, not a capital requirement (as above, ignoring Capital for this).

Lending 0 Gold, 2 Gold-like Notes: 2 Gold (asset), 2 Gold-like Notes (asset); 2 Gold-equivalent Deposit Certificates (liability), double-entry required for 2 Gold-like Commercial Paper/Note/Bond Certificates issued (liabilities). As 50% is the LCR, within regulator requirements.

Issuing more than 2 Gold-like notes, outside the LCR.

Just adding, to make it clear balance sheets always need to balance, I find this makes clarity much.. well, clearer.

I think the Amy Cooper/Christian Cooper incident from a few weeks ago was the most important 'teachable moment' that we've had in years. I am somewhat disappointed that it was overshadowed by protests against police brutality, because I thought it was a very 'teachable moment' that illustrated the type of racism that still exists behind a facade of tolerance.

Police abuse is sort of a separate issue relating to training and accountability. While it is very definitely fueled by racism and classism, I feel like it is an issue that affects all races, albeit blacks more because of long standing economic and cultural issues. The 'warrior cop' mentality affects us all, and is something that has been slowly improving in many large cities.

"Personal racism" is tough. Racism is a broad term for many things. If my neighbor plays their stereo too loud and they're white, I might call them 'white trash' in private conversation, and depending on their race I might adopt a different epithet. That isn't to say I would deny them opportunity or hate them because of their race, just that their race is a convenient attachment point for my general dislike of them. Now I'm not saying that is good or excusable, but I think it is a different thing than denying someone rights or opportunities because of their color, or making assumptions about them based on their background.

When people of color don't feel safe to walk the streets of their own neighborhood because a Karen can report them as suspicious and the authorities take that seriously and escalate the situation, there very definitely is systemic, structural racism at play. If this were just happening to blacks who appeared 'urban' you might have a point, but it affects even well dressed black people and there are countless stories backing that up. Hell, ten years ago an aquaintence was profiled because her dark Italian skin made her appear Mexican to some stupid AZ cops.

I am a long haired white guy who has also been bald, so I get what you're saying. For years I could guarantee I would have the last open seat on a plane next to me, I'm assuming because of the way I look. That doesn't negate the experiences of people of color, it just adds another facet to the way people can prejudge you. If anything, it should illustrate how bad things could be if you weren't white.
Police officers in the UK are armed with both chemical weapons and high tech batons.

Most officers do not carry firearms, but snipers and other firearms carrying officers are generally available at a moments notice. In larger cities they are in roving vehicles.

Not really ‘unarmed’ although not carrying firearms to every situation may be a good policy.
People denying this transparent shift to accomodate political advocacy are lying or intentionally blind to it.
A protest is a political stunt. That seems to be an essential part of what it means to have a protest.

And at risk of being too on topic and reading the article, the issue is that the gloom-and-doom arguments that a lockdown is necessary and correct have been well and truly rejected by the activist wings of politics, and implicitly by a large portion of the commenting-class of journalists. And business. And possibly the public at large. They clearly don't agree.
Combined with the url back nav issue it crashed mine :)
I'm disappointed there isn't a call for impeaching Trump for breaking up the protest in Lafayette Square. That has to be one of the places most symbolic of free speech in the US, and breaking up a protest there, in particular, is an obvious attack on free speech.
So out of the 200+ countries you could have compared the US to you chose a failed state. There are many other 3rd world/developing countries who have fully functional governments.

Fortnite is doing this, oddly enough.
He took the knee, to protest the train wreck of criminal justice. He was still respecting the flag.

He wasn’t stopping the game, he wasn’t delaying anything. He did it at the same time as everyone else.

All he did was a different position to respect the flag, while also protesting the treatment of PoC in America.

If we want to talk about disrespecting the flag then we need to talk about those football ceremonies with the flag dragged horizontally across the field, or flag themed clothing and costumes, or advertising that uses the flag. Because those are explicitly disrespectful, and a violation of the flag code (4USC section 1)

Not sure why you keep bringing up this strawman. Are you aware that the economy and the stock market are not the same thing? And that economic downturns cause real misery for real people, especially poorer people who don't even have 401(k)s at all?
Those numbers seem to be vastly more than reported numbers of police killings. Whom are you quoting? Because I like to keep track of who makes such exaggerated claims.

From the website:

Incentives:
Blockchain: Rewards first adopters.
Offset: Early and late adopters have the same money creation power.

Does this mean there's a negative incentive for early adopters? I.e we take on more risk with an untested technology but late adopters get the same benefits at lower risk, once the technology is mature.

The best part of this new era of ARM based servers is competition.

In the early 90's Intel slowly and steady marched into the datacenter arena up to a point that become the dominant player.

Intel was brilliant and created a distribution strategy that allowed multiple vendors use the x86 chip each with different server solutions. IMO This multitude of server offers based in the same architecture (x86) is what killed all other CPUs.. Just to remember a few players: Equipment Corporation (DEC), Sun, HPe, and even IBM now well near defunct.

It's very exciting to see ARM rising to datacenter arena. IMO ARM is a superior CPU, and now they have, just like Intel, new distributors creating multiple offers based on a single well know platform.

There's every reason we should see a good increase in cv19 spreading, because there is no reason for it not to. Washington State's daily number on Sunday, June 7 is 450 new pos cases, [1] which was last seen on the first of April. 2 months later coming back to early April numbers. [2]. We are testing 50% more per day (about 4k/day in early April, 6k/day now). Even though we increased testing by 50%, it was only recently that WA state got daily pos counts matching 2 months ago.

My opinion is that standing up for the current abhorrance of police violence connected to BLM is worth some endangering behavior on their own choice (i.e. going out in crowds, because it's a multi-100 year problem), whereas getting a haircut is not the same, but I see why that's contentious. 1000 more people getting a positive case that wouldn't have otherwise will lead to a few deaths, and they will spread it and kill a few more. It's personally horrible to just write down that fact and not know what to do with it.

It seems like the coronavirus precaution phase is over, and I think it's somewhat political.

A week ago, a Facebook friend of mine posted a passionate post about the importance of wearing masks. This weekend, the same friend posts a photo sitting around with friends, sans-mask.

This same friend is very politically active. Honestly, some of his actions seem linked to whatever the current hot-topic is. I think there's been a shift in emphasis, hence the lack of caring for the mask this week.

If you assume in advance that the same number of people will either tune in live or watch a stream non-synchronized, you may have a point. The problem is, once you account for the liveness also making it so fewer people tune in, it's not clear to me it's a win.

I haven't been beholden to a TV schedule in... ummm... about seventeen years, I think? 2003 sounds about right for my first TiVo. (I was fresh out of college and still affected by the bubble burst, I had to wait for them to come down in price quite a bit.) The only thing I watch live are the occasional sports program and SpaceX launches. Having an actual schedule certainly shoots my personal interest to zippo in this particular product.

If I can go back and watch things, which is not at the moment clear to me, then there's at least a possibility that I would become interested enough in some particular thing to tune in live. But if live viewing is the only option, you're never going to get my attention.
