We might not be able to agree about everything, but can we at least agree that it's in everyone's best interest to have an increasing amount of the world have a generally secure, stable, unconditional personal access to food, housing, education, healthcare, and a labor market and can lives in a society with reasonable laws that they can practically obey?

Even if we don't contribute to that personally, can we at least agree to try to avoid doing things to other countries that get in the way of doing that, in really obvious ways like not randomly bombing them and pretending? Can we just admit to ourselves that a lot of global military expenditure is just a certain kind of make work? As Americans, can we then really not think of a slightly more efficient way to allocate the $7.3T that the American government raises every year from tax revenue, much of which we just light on fire policing things parts of people's lives unnecessarily?

Come on. I'm sure we can. This is like taking your hand off the literal stove. I know how horrible this all looks, and it is horrible, but it's also really easy to propose a solution to it. Divest and reinvest. It could be so many flavors of divest and reinvest, and still be a good enough improvement over how things are right now that it would be the most impressive piece of legislation for probably a 100 year span of time if not 200 years. There has to be an opportunistic, ambitious K-street lobbyist or two reading this, right? Wanna take credit for bringing America out of the dark ages? Come on...you know you want to. Now's your chance.

The bar is at the floor. You could write the dirtiest honker of a bill you've ever seen that it could make the ACA look clean. As long as it achieves the right divestments (global windmill fighting) and reinvestments (domestic production infrastructure), you're on the right track. You don't even have to get it completely right the first time. Perfect is the enemy of done here. Just something major and timely, which lets you evangelize divest and reinvest. You can even rebrand it as "digital transformation" if you really want. I would promise to never judge it as management consultant grifting again.

Because if not...I don't know how long this situation will hold. Those riots are just a taste of unease to come, and eventually, the federal branches of the government will understand how much more powerless they are with dislocation of their local constituencies. Someone is going to figure out how to relocate those constituencies.
Flatpak mixes together application packaging, sandboxing, desktop integration, and an update mechanism. I do not understand the need to have all four in the same tool. I even think it limits the usefulness of each component.

Would a combination AppImage, firejail, and a couple of shell scripts be worse?
This sounds like one arguing that playing russian roulette isn't dangerous, because one can name more dangerous activities. The fact that deep sea fishing is ultra dangerous doesn't mean that being a cop isn't dangerous.

And hackernews. I think the most frequent kind of post on this site is a complaint about a paywall. The second most frequent kind of post is a workaround or alternative source sidestepping a paywall.

edit: That's not to say the scale is anywhere near the same. HN is a not going to show up on any news site's radar. But the problem is the same.
I think the C++ version shouldn't matter that much. High School is for getting people hooked on programming. I learned Borland Delphi in High School and a bit of PHP and C. I later studied CS where these languages were mostly irrelevant, but nevertheless it was a good foundation for learning other languages.

C++ is not the language I'd use to get many people attracted, but if that is the only language the teacher is able to teach, it's better than nothing.
If they want to use Rust, and have more faith in it than their own Verona[1], then they should discontinue Verona dev and let those developers go back to Pony[2]. I imagine having their core team working on Verona full-time is considerably delaying Pony development.

I'm not sure anyone's really against police enforcing the law. That should not have to result in a misconduct of the police officer though. Is that controversial?
The Skill You Need to Become a Better Designer
I did say it wasn't exactly the same thing but at least with some previous *Lake Intel CPUs the gfx took up quite a lot of the die. If you are using an external GPU quite a lot of transistors could fail and you could still use the CPU, just like hacksawing off the ethernet chip.
When I had my Samsung Galaxy device it used to get a security update like once or twice a year, and usually it was not even available for my phone until my carrier allowed it a couple weeks later. That was a 800€ device too. It's absurd
There's definitely local news but you'll find more locally specific programming on radio or in newspapers than on TV.

On TV the ABC, Channel 7, Channel 9 and Channel 10 all have state-specific broadcasts and newsrooms while SBS runs a single national program. Because the capital cities in Australia make up such a large proportion of the population you will rarely get "local news" on TV if you live in a regional town or area.

Most regional and local papers are owned by either News Corp or Australia Community Media (which was formerly owned by Fairfax before they were acquired by Nine) though, so even these local news outlets rely on the big players.

If you live in Melbourne's north I recommend trying to get a hold of "The Local Paper", which is an independent paper that focuses on things like what the local council gets up to. It's a pretty different experience to reading one of the big mastheads.
I agree that AI has been way worse with the overpromising.

But when I hear IPFS = interplanetary file system and then wee how poorly it performs in practice and that it's mostly used for illegal content, I cannot help but think that the crypto side also likes to oversell their practical utility.

I believe I have yet to see an application where the Blockchain is truly a critical component. In most cases, it seems that people end up caching its data in sql to speed things up, meaning that they're working on their own private copy now.
OMG, as a developer of a terminal application I've encountered this little symbol but just couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I assumed it was something I was doing wrong on the emulation side.
That makes no sense. The news sites implement AMP themselves. There's no way your site can become AMP'd automatically or accidentally.
Western companies also reorganise involuntarily, through leveraged buy-outs. Are these not big in Japan?
And yet when there's little or no representation of one race in one area of human endeavour, it's OK and accepted. But in another endeavour, it's frowned upon and spell racism.
There is a market for used cards. It is one way to get a relatively slow but high RAM compute card without paying extreme prices. Killing that market would force a lot of non-corporate users to start coughing up for extremely expensive new hardware.
Pizza delivery driving is a dangerous profession because pizza delivery drivers are frequently racing to improve their tips and delivery numbers and drive dangerously, meaning they frequently cause their own deaths[0]:

> Of course, when a pizza delivery driver is injured in a car accident, it is not usually an isolated event; other drivers and passengers are also involved. All too often, the accident is caused by the delivery worker’s negligence. They are racing for tips, trying to uphold the company’s reputation for service, aiming for positive feedback at work, or they are simply checked out and bored because they spend so much time in the car.

Yes, cops frequently kill themselves in traffic accidents as well, but the difference is that they are usually not rushing to a place to put a few dollars in their pocket - but rushing to a place to protect or help someone who called upon them.

If the Rust displaces C/C++, that introduction could be viewed as an advantage.
Look at Arab Spring, Kiev... 700 cases is very very low number in this situation. It could easily go to 100k deaths.
The point of protesting is to voice the need for change. That includes law.

Also, is it reasonable for routine traffic stops or harmless questioning to end in death? Is it worth it? Is it fair?
I don't believe the Indians and Chinese who immigrated back in 1900s ever got rid of poverty. It's only the last few decades of educated immigrants that changed the narrative that Asians are the model minority, it's been a part of US propaganda for decades now - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/11/29/the-r...

I can see the same happen in my ancestry too. The ones who migrated back in 1900s or during the wars never made it big while the educated ones who went there after 50s are doing well.
Take a look at the Mi Flora (Xiaomi product) device. Coin cell battery, ostensibly 12 mo battery life, good third-party packages/APIs.
You do know that enforcing the law is the reason we have police in the first place?

You're saying if people would only not break the law, then the police would not misbehave. Yes, that's true of course, for there would be no police at all.

So is the point then that police are naturally bound to misconduct, and it's the fault of citizens that they misbehave? This argument reminds me of the idea that men are naturally bound to sexually assault women who dress 'provocatively'.

In every civilized country there are rules for what police can and cannot do. This is very important, as they are the primary institution which can legally use violence. If these rules are not held in high integrity, which they are not, then the legitimacy of this violence is eroded and trust in the nation state evaporates.
He means peers directly connect to each other, so there are no data packets that the server could man in the middle.
Yes, it's a problem in rails too. My current project is a rewrite (in Node) of big rails monolith which is full of synchronous http requests and SQL queries in loops. The sad thing is senior Node developers just port the code, seeing no problems with the aforementioned be.
You are using the term "machine readable" rather loosely.
But happy instead of spending your life doing something you don't like and dreaming about "escaping the rat race".
Success in life is not measured by how much you own.
Police sure haven’t helped. Defunding and funding other areas probably helps reduce the murder rate.
Works as intended. It's not the regulators task to put the law in a nice UX.
You forget a few things:

1. AWS and other cloud vendors don't have just one data centre per region, they usually have three redundant locations for availability reasons connected via a direct fibre link.
2. Cost of time; time to find hardware, prep hardware, maintain hardware
3. Cost of your agility. If you need more compute capacity, it will take you weeks to get the hardware required and installed, otherwise you need to have unused hardware sitting around "just in case".
4. Cost of your availability. What if you have a sudden spike of traffic within minutes and the current available hardware cannot service it? At least in the cloud you can spin up short lived resources to manage that load before it throttles back down again.
5. Permanent running costs of fixed hardware. A lot of implementations do not need permanent hardware running and can throttle down to a base of almost nothing so the average running cost on a monthly basis is actually very low.

I suspect part of why this comment is apparently ruffling some feathers is this idea that there's just this magical market that all the old money is guarding people away from with PDT restrictions and "accredited investor" status.

I don't buy it. I believe the reason we still have accredited investors is because Uncle Sam wants to make sure you at least have 1 million dollars of assets to have liquidated if you go bust.

I have never seen a truly lucrative market that consistently beats just sticking your money in an index fund that's locked away behind being Rule 501 qualified unless you literally just have millions of dollars sitting around and don't mind throwing away half a million on some high risk venture knowing it can blow up at any time.

Also Robinhood is disgusting, I explain more in my other comment, but people are now coming out and saying this kid didn't even owe the money that he was shown, there's a known issue with Robinhood's handling of multi-leg options that might have bit him:

https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/h97l9z/how_...

This kind of bullshit is why Robinhood is such a ridiculous proposition. It's giving someone access to a flaming ring of death, then giving them a rusted out bicycle to ride through it, and acting like you did them some great favor by letting them access the flaming ring of death because some other people in full gear on motorcycles do it all the time.

Robinhood as a broker has serious flaws (I wonder if they patched the bug that let literally anyone get infinite amounts of leverage through their app?), constantly breaking during periods of high volatility, misrepresenting risk, having terrible fills for options and stocks, not showing extremely important information on options up front just to make it "easier" for people. You add all this up with who it's targeting and it's sickening.

This won't be the last time this happens.
Firefighters have never done anything for me, and I can't think of a time they've done anything for anyone I know. I don't really see how they are heros.

I can't even think of things they regularly do that can be called heroic? I know they do some good stuff, but nothing that comes close to the level of "hero" in my opinion. They squirt water on hot stuff? Cool.
There is, it's called the General Data Protection Regulations. Its purpose is to protect consumers from companies that surveil and track without your knowledge and permission. You should read up on it as cookies are just a tiny paragraph.

The issue is probably most people are not reading the article anymore. When you have enough comment density, actually reading comments is more like a summary service.
I’ve worked in many adversarial roles, and I have never once shot a customer.
Instead of displaying disgust, why not try to say something uplifting instead? Constraints like using a limited environment can do wonders for people’s creativity.

Yes, you are right, the results are not comparable between DBMS that we tested. For MySQL, the large number of existing bugs prevented us from going further, and also testing more advanced functionality (like FTS). For SQLite (and DuckDB), bugs were typically fixed within hours, which is why we could comprehensively test them. For SQLite, we also tested three extensions (besides FTS, also R*Tree and DBSTAT).
I had not seen qml. I must say, an array language interface to another language's math library is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Natural Boost Keto Good for Weight Loss and HealthCare Product
Alright, the essential worry that issues is whether the Pure Natural Keto Burn Ingredients can truly empower you to get fit as a fiddle. We see this continually. Upgrades make titanic cases about helping you slight down. Regardless, by then you look at what fixings they use, and the fixings don't do anything. For this circumstance, doubtlessly the fixings are okay. Since, they seem to use exogenous ketones.

I’ve been in the industry since the late 90’s, right before the H1B volumes really spiked. I worked with a number of black people, and my hiring class consisted of a number of black engineers from historically black colleges. Fast forward 10 years, and cost savings forced a deep round of layoffs and offshoring. The black engineers were hit disproportionately. The current team’s makeup consists heavily of H1Bs. Those black engineers haven’t all returned to STEM.

I’ve transitioned through many roles in my careers, and remained very interested in this topic, so I notice the black makeup of each company. In St Louis, a city with about 50% black population, I consulted on a few projects. These companies employed a few African Americans, as security guards, but the engineers were about 50% white and 50% Indian.

In Florida, I consulted on another project. Every black engineer had the accent of a Caribbean native or African native. Judging by the accents, there were no American born black engineers.

I keep wondering if the H1Bs have out competed the black new college graduates, or if they’re simply not being given a chance at the jobs being filled by H1Bs.

Other companies have huge Infosys, TCS consulting presence, and those new engineering roles are filled without true competition from American workers, but doled out to new H1Bs.

I continue to think that an additional yearly salary tax should be levied on any H1B. This forces the employers to be financially aligned with employing US citizens. Ideally those taxes should for for STEM scholarships for the poor, increasing the US pool of these supposedly in demand engineers.
Countries protect their domestic companies all the time.
You can also scan a hardcopy obtained from a library. It works because most people want to follow the law, don't care or don't bother.
You can use preconneft tags to make the browser preconneft to the likely source of the images. This usually gives a pretty big boost in speed because browsers will have already connected (DNS + TLS handshake) to the icon source's CDN.
What does Unicode support actually mean?
Sometimes the most effective way to demonstrate the injustice of a law is to publicize its enforcement. Much of the brutality captured on video recently is, strictly speaking, legal. But there's little support for changing the law without the public getting a visceral sense of how bad it is.
I'd like to see officer body/car cam footage being publicly accessible. Beyond this, I'd like to see a hard requirement that if a batton or firearm is unholstered that body cam must be on, a single offence may be fireable, and a second in a ~5yr period is automatic firing.

Any civilian death by the hands of police or in police custody not captured on body cam should have an automatic 2+ week suspension, grounds for firing, and require trial (not just a pass via grand jury) for at least manslaughter. That doesn't mean they will always be convicted, but methods need to be put into place that allow for absolute limits to be in place.

Those would be a good start... civilian access to footage means footage needs to be taken... from there, largely, citizen groups can provide additional pressure.

Beyond this, I'd like to see civilian volunteers to try to pair each officer with a trained volunteer at least 2 shifts per week per officer (armed). Along with ongoing interaction training.

Beyond all of the above, reduction in military weapons, tactics and hand-me-downs. SWAT is/was supposed to mean "SPECIAL Weapons And Tactics" as in, not the norm... and rarely to be used.
Yes, even Bjarne mentions this in one of his talks.

Not sure what to think really, should we get angry how younger generations get taught so outdated information, or be happy that at least they learn something that will allow them to jumpstart into something better years later.

Well that pretty much negates the "A few bad Apples" line. The whole basket is rotten.

It is very obvious that the issue is training and hiring requirements. Add military arms to the equation and you have an even bigger Problem. Why is it that when I get pulled over I am the one that is trying the deescalate the situation?

And this is all before you add the racism issue into the pot.
