OT but I never understood the issue with insider trading. Obviously it's unfair to unknowing traders but isn't this essentially just making the market more reflective of reality? How does it undermine the market?
Simple advices to not take criticism too close to your heart is probably a pretty universial recommendation. Not only for writers, for developers too. Everyone can fail at that and I think reiterating this advice is help itself.
That sounds like just one maybe-disruptive event that manifests itself differently if you keep working around it instead of dealing with it properly. If you need to deal with it at all - I suspect most systems that still need to connect to the internet trust the ISRG root nowadays.

Can you de-escalate when there are innocent bystanders? And if a bystander is harmed while you are attempting to de-escalate, doesn't that make the officer negligent?

Sure, if there's someone hanging out by themselves then de-escalate and do whatever. The moment there are innocent people in harms way though, that calculus changes.

De-escalation is a great catch phrase, but it's not a universal solution. It's one tool of many, and it has a time and place.
> Is it not far more demeaning to act like anyone would crumble under the weight of mere words used in a technical context?

No, it's not far more demeaning. You're really arguing that it's demeaning to be decent and respect other people's feelings and reactions to things?

With that attitude, should I just walk around insulting people for no reason, telling everyone I come across to go fuck themselves? Because it would be far more demeaning to assume that someone can't handle being told to go fuck themselves.

> How to identify areas of false beliefs in yourself?

I don't know how to answer this question in general, but as a teaching assistant I thought about this in relation to the classroom. Obviously as I teacher I wanted students to be able to identify false mathematical beliefs.

I ended up performing an experiment based on this paper: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.934...

First I asked the students to rate how much they agree with a set of statements like: world hunger is a serious problem that needs attention.

Then I asked how frequently they perform such actions, such as: do you personally do anything to lessen world hunger?

I didn't prepare them for the experiment very well and it went pretty awkwardly... I wish I would have tried it more than once.

The idea is to get people familiar with the feeling of dissonance or discomfort. Because the human brain is supremely lazy and has all sorts of tricks for suppressing dissonance, how would you navigate your social interactions otherwise?

In the classroom you have the additional problem even if you think you don't understand something you don't want to admit that in front of your peers.

I suggest looking for articles in major US publications starting with NPR's site. There's just too much to cover in a comment.

Just as a synopsis, systemic racism became a more subtle segregation. POC (People or Person of Color) were systematically made to appear more violent and criminal-like over time. Combine that notion with an idealized notion of the police as hero figures and you have a recipe for rationalizing violence against POC.

Mobile phone videos allowed us to see from the victim's perspective just how brutal police have become.

"How it happens that all those mayors and sheriffs are still in the office if police brutality is such a big issue?"

To this point, you need to understand about voting districts and how POC voting power has been diluted and prevented over decades.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the final output blur was there to just map the output buffer resolution to the hardware output. If you ran the N64 in 640x480 resolution (with AA enabled) it looked gorgeous. Unfortunately the RDP wasn't fast enough to update more than around 1/3 of the screen before you saw tearing on that mode - so it was really only practical on mostly static screens.

The standard output mode was 320x240 but developers realized you could reduce the buffer sizes and play with the screen borders to try to render less pixels per frame. Dropping resolution was a quick way to get frame rate up, and when your target TV was a NTSC CRT it didn't seem so bad.

The Antialiasing (which the game shark can disable) was what stopped the nasty pixel crawl and jaggies that Playstation games of that era suffered from. It was cutting-edge for the time - it used the 'extra' bit in the 9bit RAMBUS ram (that would have been for ECC in serious applications) to store coverage bits and blend edge pixels while maintaining crispness on interior edges.
I can't read the article, can anyone link me to the supreme court decision?
That is insufficient and wrong. "Apfel" should not match "Äpfel" in a search, because those are different words, one is the singular, the other the plural of "apple". However, "Aepfel" should match "Äpfel", since those are the same word, the former is an accepted replacement form. Similarly, "ss" and "sz" (very rare) should match "ß" and vice versa, so "Strasse" is the same as "Strasze" and "Straße".

Of course all of this is locale-dependent and it might be acceptable for ease of use to match "ä" to "a" for international users. But not in a german locale.

Proper I18N is very hard, and supporting Unicode is just a first step. Converting text between lower/upper/title-case can only be done knowing at least the locale of the text, and in rare cases a case-folding-roundtrip can even change the meaning of the text, so you will have to be able to speak the language.

> Police generally have contracts where they have weaseled out of criminal, civil, and even administrative sanctions

That's false. Qualified immunity is a result of a supreme court decision and not part of police contracts. The only thing in most contracts is that police officers who are fired get a chance at mediation for firing disputes.

Police officers do get legal protections, the same way you and I get them. You can't release private records of a police officer, you can't sacrifice them publically to appease an angry group, etc etc.

Right, so I made 16bit opcodes only have 4 bits for register indexes. 32bit ones would provide the 5th bit for each register. That means a compiler should prefer the first 16 registers in order to reduce code size, but they are all still available. It also meant a reduced size chip with half the registers would not need different instruction encodings.

"Anime" as a word isn't even a genre. Its... incredibly ill-defined.

Actual genres would be "Shonen" (Dragonball Z, Full Metal Alchemist, My Hero Academia), "RomCom" (Ah My Goddess, SNAFU), "Magical Girl" (Sailor Moon, Pretty Cure), Mecha (Gundam), "Sci Fi" (Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in a Shell), "Mindfuck" (Evangeleon, Paprika, Paranoia Agent), or "Isekai" (Overlord, Sword Art, Slime)

And a few shows are blend between genres. Both Inuyasha and Kenshin are Shonen + RomCom blends for example. There are a few shows I can't pin down exactly (Little Witch Academia doesn't seem to follow any genre rules... too many action scenes / stress to be Iyashi. Not enough transformation scenes to be magical girls. Not cute enough to be a moe. Too much supernatural to be slice of life)

---------

Each genre of anime has its own art style, expectations, and writing style. Avatar would probably be a Shonen if I were to pin it to a specific genre (Child protagonist, action scenes aimed primarily at young male audiences... a "Shonen" or young male demographic). Avatar's artstyle is reminiscent of Shonen as well.

Paprika is definitely an "anime", but look at Paprika's art style: https://i.imgur.com/Sf0jtn0.png

Or "Night is short, Walk on Girl": https://i.imgur.com/Tz7w9bo.png

Both Paprika and "Night is short..." are anime and considered anime by the whole community. But stylistically, they are no where close to Avatar, DBZ, Full Metal Alchemist.

--------

The most consistent definition of anime is Japanese origin, or at least "Eastern" cartoons. "Anime-style" describes Avatar, Teen Titans, and RWBY. But its not really acceptable in the community to call those shows "anime". But I guess if we want to get technical about genres and definitions, "Anime" is a word that's too ill-defined to really be useful in these kinds of discussions.

The article doesn't have much detail about what she actually did, so it's not clear to me whether what she was doing was wrong.

If a hedge fund profits from predicting a corporate merger by tracking corporate jet flights, many people would say that's just them doing their research and being well informed. It's just obscure information, not insider information.

If this woman were trading flight insurance in the type of investment market that trades sophisticated insurance products like credit default swaps, her actions would be completely fair.

That she was doing it with retail products is less ideal, but not enough to clearly condemn her.
Half seems insignificant since in America the shootings are more commonly two sided, which warrants more deadly use of force. You wouldn't stop with the first bullet if your target had a gun in their hand(as opposed to a knife).
> Second, why shoot to kill and not to incapacitate? Shoot to kill is a policy. Why is that a policy?

Because there is no place to shoot that will simply incapacitate everyone. The policy is generally shoot to stop the threat not to kill per se. There are many instances where a person will take many rounds in potentially fatal spots and continue like nothing has happened.

> In this free-for-all, the assailant had, in fact, been struck 14 times. Any one of six of these wounds – in the heart, right lung, left lung, liver, diaphragm, and right kidney – could have produced fatal consequences, “in time,” Gramins emphasizes.[1]

The natural follow up to your analogy shows exactly why these protests targeted at police might be a good solution.

A new system, like the design of a whole new plane requires a lot of political will, funding and time. On the other hand, the solution people are more likely to get is minor adjustments to the design of the plane or system to make it compliant, so the 737 Max can fly again, in some capacity.

Changing the demographic of the police forces to eradicate the choke hold of trigger happy white supremacists on it, will take decades. On the other hand, laws for police accountability and monitoring can be enacted faster, and help put the police system back into place in a format that is a bit more functional.

It doesn't solve the core problem. But, it's a start. It makes it so that fewer people will face police brutality for the next few decades, while longer term efforts to reform law enforcement can take hold in the US.

> The solution to police brutality requires much more thought.

>Which sounds exactly like the insurance equivalent of insider trading. Buying insurance on something you already know is going to happen or not is fraud, plain and simple.

Well, from the description of the events, it sounds like she didn't "know" the events were happen, just that they were more likely in a way that's not captured with a sufficient premium. That's not the same as e.g. insuring against your car getting dented, knowing you plan to dent it.

So what she did was more analogous to reasoning that, "Oh, man, people always seem to rear-end you when you're driving a red sports car. Since I drive one, I guess I'll pay extra for the no-deductible option for accidents involving getting rear-ended." She doesn't know she'll be one to get rear-ended, she didn't cause the rear-ending, she just recognizes it as being super-likely and thus a good deal.

With that said, I think there is a sense in which this is fraud. Generally, insurance requires you to have an "insurable interest" -- i.e. independent reason to value the insured thing -- to prevent the kind of asymmetric info/moral hazard situation that breaks their ability to model the risk and which leads to cases like this.

So the contract almost certainly had a clause like, "I am going on this flight for business or pleasure reasons" (or something more lawyer-screened). That would establish the insurable interest: the insured wants to go on this trip, and wants it to go well. So she'd be entering the contract on fraudulent terms if she bought the trips/insurance solely to profit off the payouts.

Still, I have to agree with the OP's comment. If someone is this good at assessing risk, you should hire them to tune your risk model. She did pretty darn good with far less info than the insurer had to work with!
You're not right simply because you say you are. If we're going to talk about definition, tell me where you found yours. I'll help you with some I just googled, that support my definition:

> Financial instruments are assets that can be traded. [0]

> Financial instruments are monetary contracts between parties. They can be created, traded, modified and settled. [1]

And my point about about life insurances being financial instruments:

> The asset classes are cash, vehicles, real estate, business, directly held equity, indirectly held equity, fixed income, pension equity, pension fixed income, cash value life insurance. [2]

> Certain life insurance contracts accumulate cash values, which may be taken by the insured if the policy is surrendered or which may be borrowed against. Some policies, such as annuities and endowment policies, are financial instruments. [3]

That is the main argument in favor of insider trading.

But why would I ever invest in a company if I knew that my gains would be stolen by people with secret knowledge?

If you allow insider trading, then you eliminate the incentive for outsider investing

> The legal fight focused on the definition of “sex” in Title VII [of the Civil Rights Act of 1964]. The plaintiffs, along with civil rights groups and many large companies, had argued that discriminating against gay and transgender workers was inherently based on their sex and consequently was illegal.

So there's a difference in philosophy between 'textualists' who interpret the meaning of the text, and in particular what the word 'sex' implies, versus 'originalists' who look of the intent of the legislators in 1964.
Thanks for the awesomely illustrative story. I can relate to the early parts of it. I looked at Colemak/Tarmak and thought it was too hard. Ended up keeping same finger sequence for home-row ASET-GH-NIO(R). Other letters kept close and shuffled for freq/bigrams. I switched cold turkey and am up to about 40 wpm after a week now. Great to hear that 70 wpm makes things good enough to not be frustrated. My speed would be much faster if not for the errors which are the most annoying part and the random pauses when my fingers forget where to type.

Command-line/vi is a whole other story--don't know how long that will take. I think I should practice QWERTY now after a week so I don't lose it. How do you type on mobiles? Separate 'thumb memory'?

I was never a fast typist to start with and mostly did it out of boredom and I did have pains once along the backs of my hands that made it impossible to type for a day so may help. This time around I will learn to touch-type.

Yes, they'll have written a dissent that will be published alongside the majority opinion. I'm looking for it now, but since Reuters didn't bother to name the case, that's more complicated than it might be.

edit: Found it: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/17-1618_hfci.pdf

Kavanaugh's dissent (p. 145ff.) appears to revolve around it being not the proper province of the Supreme Court to decide the extent of Title VII, which, IANAL but that seems like a weak dodge. The whole point of the Supreme Court is to finally decide among competing interpretations of extant legislation.

Alito's and Thomas's dissent (pp. 38-144) appears to rely on the same strict-constructionist interpretation. Its Appendix A cites a stack of dictionaries. So there's that, I guess. Appendix D is an application for employment in the US armed forces. Presumably the body of the dissent explains what this is meant to prove, although I doubt I would feel myself enlightened for the effort of going back and finding that exegesis.
