For a start the media should focus on exposing inadequately prosecuted cops that broke the law instead of focusing on qualified immunity after the system already failed.

One way to actually fix the problem is external investigation of police complaints and the power to press charges separate from the DA. The vast majority of the time the people investigating a police shooting work in the same building as the shooters, and are often police themselves. Then the DA, which works with the police on most of their cases, ends up being the one that has to prosecute them. These should both be considered conflicts of interest. We need people that aren't friends with the cops to have the power to do something. The investigators should be limited to bringing criminal charges to police that must be tried in court to prevent abuses of their power (otherwise we risk a situation of "who watches the watchmen of the watchmen"). The idea of special prosecutors exists, but for some reason isn't applied to police matters.

Police unions are a problem now, but only because they have the power to fight a police chief over employment terms and threaten to strike. They would not be able to fight the prosecutor from an external organization. Let them fight the police chief over administrative actions and discipline for minor violations all they want (that's what unions are for) as long as punishment for crimes is handled by someone else. This is exactly how it works with every other union- they can fight employers on all sorts of matters, but they don't get a say once a member commits a crime, and police unions should be the same.

Also, with police matters, a lack of evidence should be viewed as suspicious, and possibly considered as supporting evidence for a complaint. The police should wear cameras but they shouldn't manage the recordings. Body cameras should be allowed to be turned off to deal with sensitive issues, but those occasions should be limited and reviewable. If a cop is about to go talk to a rape victim, then the footage leading up that point should be reviewed. If a body camera was turned off when someone filed a complaint about assault, it should be pretty easy to look at the footage leading up to that point and determine if the camera was turned off for an appropriate reason, or if the cop turned the camera off so they could crack some skulls without being recorded. Excuses like "I forgot to turn my camera back on" can be handled with indicator lights and audible tones or having the camera turn back on after a while. Excuses like "my camera stopped working" can be checked to see if the police officer submitted a service request.

None of these issues are controversial. The controversial part is that it costs money to set up an oversight investigation. Usually a politician running with a platform like this is doomed to lose an election because they are talking about raising taxes and they won't have the support of the police union. But if there were ever a time to get this implemented it would be now.
Equity "going to 0" is a consequence of a court proceeding called "bankruptcy". It is the courts of law that approve the deletion of equity. So not sure whom are you going to sue.

It will not go to $0. It will simply stop existing. You are free to trade it until then.
>There's nothing wrong with the idea of qualified immunity. A government worker should not be held responsible if they make an honest mistake.

In a legal system where the average person is held responsible for an honest mistake, I think it is necessary for government agents to be held to the same standard.

>Qualified immunity already doesn't protect you if you knowingly break the law

Given how prosecutors so often refuse to hold cops accountable, qualified immunity prevents seeking justice through the last remaining system in place.

>But we're underreaching if we focus on the fallback instead of the primary issue of holding people accountable for crimes.

This is letting perfect become the enemy of better.
First thing I did after reinstall or if I was "fixing printer" or whatever in the family, then drop all crap from startup/registry, defrag, uninstall every toolbar/crapware that had uninstall. I always thought who is responsible for not giving to people system cleaned up like that? Mystery.
Some quick research seems to indicate that IDE "master" (Drive 0) and "slave" (Drive 1) operate in a true master/slave fashion.

There are times when the slave drive communicates with the master (rather than the host controller), and the master controls things.

I'm the opposite of an expert, but here's one example according to a document (https://www.ele.uri.edu/courses/ele408/s2001/projects/roland...) that I found. From section 6.3.4:

During power on initialization or after RESET- is negated, DASP- shall be
asserted by Drive 1 within 400 msec to indicate that Drive 1 is present.
Drive 0 shall allow up to 450 msec for Drive 1 to assert DASP-. If Drive 1
is not present, Drive 0 may assert DASP- to drive an activity LED.

There are a few other sections like 6.3.13 (power-on diagnostics) and 6.3.16 (optional spindle sync) where it's pretty clear that Drive 1 follows Drive 0's lead.
If that were the case, then de facto segregation wouldn't be increasing even to this day. Without the government enforcing segregation, people started separating themselves physically. Schools for instance are more segregated than they were in 1975.

Segregation wasn't a case of the government pushing these ideas on to unwilling populace.
The entire premise of government is that you give up some of your personal freedoms in return for rules in a society. What you're saying makes sense in an anarchist regime, but that's not what we have today.

Also, your right to private property is, itself, protected by the government. Without that protection, I could steal from your fruit stand with impunity (as long as I have the bigger gun).
It's not a matter of time, but about their mentality. Playing old Google tricks make them lose all good faith.

We have the EV3 (31313) and this is a very interesting development. The PoweredUp vs EV3 connectors is not reassuring. At the moment I have PoweredUp, PowerFunctions, and EV3 motors. None are interchangeable. But if it looks like they are retiring PF and EV3, RJ11, for PoweredUp across the entire brand that is reassuring.
Curious: why? Can't you simply shut down the NAS^wmicroserver and replace the failing drive then? (assuming the downtime is not a problem, which is probably the case with most home NAS installations)
I think Congress is the failure by not clarifying laws. It seems they rely more and more on the Supreme Court to do the legislative work for them.
Yeah, windows has had 3 major flavors in its history. Win 1.x-3.x were just GUIs on top of DOS. Win9x was a true operating system with a kernel, but the kernel was still running on top of DOS. NT, what we have now, is a kernel that runs directly on the hardware. On 32-bit machines dos programs are run using a virtual machine
On the other hand, a lot of what made the original Postgres distinctive has ended up being either removed or considerably downplayed: the "object-relational" features, rules, versioned data, and so on.

(I think what the paper refers to as "versioned data" is the "time-travel queries" stuff, not multi-version concurrency control which was added after Stonebraker's time.)
>The government did prosecute Ellsberg under the Espionage Act

Right. I was trying emphasize the "all the parts of the papers that didn't explicitly prove war crimes, but skipped the bits that proved them" part. In other words, once you remove the known-bad bits then what is left seems innocuous and so it's much harder to prove that a specific leak was a "good" thing.

The intent here seems clear: the US wants to ensure Wikileaks isn't allowed to talk about the actual evidence of warcrimes at the trial. They will claim that because Wikileaks isn't being charged with leaking THOSE documents, they are not relevant.
Other than speaking poorly about ebay what specifically did the so called Natick couple present as a threat to ebay or to these criminals individually?

Anyone have a link to the newsletter that was being published? Should be useful to browse a little of it to see what the threat to ebay was exactly.
Ask HN: I want to sell your product. What are the objections?
Most of the startups or indie hackers and I start our project with a low budget. ( For instance, I am trying to launch my idea right now. ) %90 of product hunt and other makers fail. Believe it or not, the product or idea doesn't matter. You need to find small distribution channels and customize your product descriptions according to the problem of the community. I am a software engineer and have a sales background. I want to grow together. I will try to sell the products and if I sold them, I will get rewarded for each product I sell. I have the goal of recurring revenue by doing this for SaaS. No pay without sell.

I think the markets have stopped being a barometer for the economy for a while now. Personally I'm just "getting while the gettin's good" , I'm guessing a lot of people are the same, if it's still making money why stop ?

1) Indeed, GLNs don't learn features... but I would claim they do learn some notion of an intermediate representation, it's just different from the DL mainstream -- in particular its closely related to the inverse Radon transform in medical imaging.

2) Inputs which are similar in terms of cosine similarity will map to similar (data dependent) products of weight matrices, and thus behave similarly, which of course can affect performance in both good and bad ways. With the results we show on permuted MNIST, its well... just not particularly likely that they will interfere. This is a good thing -- why should completely different data distributions interfere with one another? The point is the method is resiliant to catastrophic forgetting when the cosine similarity between data items from different tasks is small. This highlights the different kind of inductive bias a halfspace gated GLN has compared to a Deep ReLu network.

3) Re bird example, that's slightly unfair. I am sure one could easily make use of the pre-trained resnet to provide informative features to a GLN -- it's early days for this method, hybrid systems haven't been investigated, so I don't know whether it would work better than current SOTA methods for image classification. But I would be pretty confident that some simple combination would work better than chopping the head off a pretrained network and fitting an SVM on top. This is all speculation on my part though. :)
trunk is probably a better name still.. since everything else is a branch.
So if the FDA wants to make a change to, say, the requirements for nutritional labels on food, it would require the House and Senate to pass a bill and the President to sign it?

If the FCC wants to, say, lower the minimum required channel separation in a particular band, that too would need a passed bill and a Presidential signature?

I doubt that that is practical.

Still, there are a lot of domains where transfer learning is no the most applicable setting - I'm thinking of highly noisy and non-stationary setting such as finance. In some of these domains, especially time series, lack of data is often not the issue, e.g. high frequency datasets.

Having models constantly re-train as the default setting is essentially what a rolling regression would do - having a rolling regression that doesn't catastrophically forget would be quite valuable.

Unavoidably in the service of justice (which is their purpose) the courts will in practice make law.

The legislature deals in broad hypothetical scenarios, for example perhaps "Putting anchovies on pizza shall be a crime punishable by death".

Courts must deal with an actuality with lots of specific facts that could not possibly have been anticipated by the legislature. For example are these particular fish anchovies? Was this item a pizza in the sense the legislature meant? Who exactly "put" the anchovies on the pizza if it happened automatically by action of a machine? The person who installed the machine? The person who loaded these specific anchovies into a hopper? Does it matter if that person knew the machine makes pizza?

It may also run into larger questions. Is the legislature really allowed to kill people for putting anchovies on their own pizza? If not, why not? Would it be allowed to fine them? All of this has the effect of "creating law" in order to dispense Justice, which is the whole reason we created courts.

Careful, there's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.

Github is changing the default branch name for new repos. New repos tend to have the most fresh eyes and agility. It shouldn't hurt too bad.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. It is not the job of the Supreme Court to "act when it doesn't". It is not their job to write legislation when Congress can't get their act together.
What alternative proposals do you have for dealing with people who've unlawfully crossed the border? If your answer is "let them live freely in the US", I think it's fair to characterize that as a a call for open borders.

Ask HN: Former engineer, current pilot, getting out of US military after 8 years
I'm currently a military pilot and have under two years until my contract is up. My background was four years as an SDE and QE; data science and mobile. I still keep up with coding and recently put out a paid app on the app store that was top 15 for several weeks in Productivity and continues to get steady downloads-the back end is Node on Firebase. I consider myself a versatile developer and have a history with a lot of different stacks.

FAANG is my initial goal (I was at one before) but I have a TS/SCI clearance which could open some doors if I choose to go that route (leaning towards not going that route). Utilizing the GI Bill is also an option, though I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze for a master's or MBA.

What can I do to prepare to re-enter the tech industry?
Open Source CMS vs. Proprietary CMS: Can You Have the Best of Both?
> But the root of the problem is that google is not a perfect and unbiased representation of the web.

This is an unreasonable expectation for any product of any company, let alone the biggest general purpose search engine of the web. The reason spamming / SEO gaming doesn't work much right now (there is a ceiling to the effectiveness) is because Google actively biases their results against what they consider abusers.

I would argue there are other search engines that have attempted an "unbiased index of the web" and Google was a superior experience.

I don't deny that there are problems (I wish Google stopped preventing email address searches and lots of classes of Google Dorks from working), but I don't think your prescription improves anything.

Of course stereotypes can be positive (see the links provided). Either depending on the context or for the group overall. And, moreover, a stereotype doesn't come from nowhere. It's based on some factual truth.

So because some Asians aren't smart the fact Asians in general are seen as smart is bad for them? Why not see it from a different perspective : Asians that aren't so smart still benefit from the image that they are and may still get some advantage from it.

And you think there are no stereotypes about white people? Russians are alcoholics, latin people are ... etc.
I think you're using "white" to mean WASP.

You can't have it all : if they're praised for being studious and disciplined they can't also be seen as super nonconformists and rebelles... Both type of traits involve a different mental structure.

I lived through both major Mac CPU transitions (68K-PPC and PPC->X86) and in both cases the assumption was that it was impossible for Apple to ship a usable emulator. In both cases Apple proved everyone wrong and in fact the emulator was a major contributing factor to a smooth transition. It simply takes a lot of time for all 3rd party software to be released for the new architecture.

Given how they handled it in the past my guess is that Apple will release a very usable X64 emulator for the ARM and really brag about it at WWDC.
> plus a huge risk of collateral damage to any life, human or otherwise, that happens to get in the path of the beam.

Why? This doesn't actually deposit that much energy directly in any given volume. The beam is about a meter wide and the power is about a kilowatt (1000 joules per second). The authors say

> This is equivalent to about 1 Sv/sec. We note that this value of the radiation dose is very large, compared with the U.S. Federal off-site limit of 1 mSv/year.

but that seems wrong. Up to a dimensionless factor Q that adjusts for biological details, a sievert (Sv) is 1 joule of radiation energy deposited per kilogram. But that neutrino beam has a mean-free-path of the diameter of the Earth! That means it is roughly distributing the kilowatt of energy over 1 m^2 * 13,000 km ~= 1e7 m^3. At the density of water, that's 1e10 kg, so the deposited power is about a 1e-7 watts per kilogram, or roughly 100 nano sieverts per second. You'd have to point the beam at someone for 3 hours straight to exceed the (conservative) federal limit.
Congress has no problem doing this kind of "fixing" of the Court's decisions when it so suits them: see the passage of RFRA in the wake of Employment Division v. Smith.

There's probably no better time than right now to get the support needed to pass a law eliminating QI. While we're at it, we can pass a law to replace Bivens rather than have analogous civil rights cases involving federal agents subject to the courts' whims.
User-adjustable restrictions work for only a small fraction of the population. That fraction gets smaller the more fine-grained you make them.
Opinion: Case for removing master-slave terminology from music production tools
React in Battlefield 1
Wikipedia's got a good overview on why "Historically Black Colleges and Universities" exist:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historically_black_colleges_an...

TL;DR, the reason why these exist is because of historical discrimination against black people in college admissions.

While there is much less discrimination in admissions today then there was in, say, the early 1900's, these colleges still have a strong presence in the US today.

And to your point, yes I think we all (or at least most of us) want to live in a world where we don't need race-based communities or institutions, but because our country still suffers from extreme race-based segregation and inequality, IMO it still makes sense to have these active support structures in place.

Much the same way RMS did not defend Epstein. Truth is often the first casualty.
This link shows the problem of using master/slave. I think everyone in this thread is ok with moving away from using those terms. The problem is that the usage of master in terms of git, and github in particular, has nothing to do with master/slave. The word slave isn't even used in standard git or github parlance.

What you're saying is that all uses of the word master implies master/slave, which is what people are disagreeing with. In the recording industry, everyone uses the term master to denote the production copy of combined tracks. The tracks that make up a master are not slaves. In the same way that branches that make up a master vcs are not slaves.

In git parlance, master is where your builds come from for deployment. And branches are where you work on features. When branches are complete they merge back into master. How does this relate in any way to a master/slave definition? Based on the logic used, I would expect record studios to be moving away from using the word master as well.
