The number of distinct police forces might already be a problem in itself.

Germany has 16 state level and one federal, plus customs (not legally a police force with a lot less jurisdiction)

France has two, Police national and Gendamerie.

Obviously a slight oversimplification when counting stuff like the BKA / LKA (maybe the German equivalent to the FBI?) as seperate bodies. But roughly across Europe you have two levels,local and federal. Both are reporting, one way or the other, to the respective Ministeries of the Interior. Quite adifference compared to the US, where the highest authority can be a mayor. or none, if I understood the thing with local Sherrifs correctly.
> We are concerned particularly about the tails.

That's not my impression when people are openly calling for defunding or disbanding police departments. Those who are concerned with the tails are the sane voices drowning in a sea of insanity these days.

I agree that the outliers are the problem, but how uncommon they are cannot be determined in this way.

Why is it relevant? Do you know what they use for forecasts? I work in industry and have built weather applications for 5+ years now. Let me tell you, everyone uses the same source data. Machine learning is not going to help predict weather. If it was that simple, someone would have machine learned the weather already and they would be making zillions of dollars with their accurate AI weather predictions. Do you post climacell just because they say AI and weather?

OP i hate to break it to you. but a weather station wont tell you the right clothes to wear for the day. IT will tell you if it's raining outside currently. Consider this, station says it's raining and cold. You wear lots of clothes, umbrella etc. The rain storm is out of area by 9am and rest of day is hot and sunny.
There's no delusion on his side - there's additionally the acknowledgement that police have a much higher burden for said situations - and the videos show that they are not qualified to manage them.

I agree about the American military, although they are not necessarily an ultimate force for good as they are an instrument largely of Congress and the President (which aren't particularly likely to make ethical calls these days, unfortunately). But by God they are a pretty decent instrument.

The thing the most frustrates me about Musescore is the core dev-teams irrational refusal to add scroll-bars to the score panel (even as an option). Requests in the past have always been met with a “you are doing it wrong” response https://musescore.org/en/node/268908

> Ah yes, the tired old free-marketeer. You're the reason we need regulations over self-destructive things. Society gets to make that call sometimes.

Fortunately, Bitcoin fixes this. "Society" has no ability to seize bitcoin or censor its transactions. Soon enough, it won't be able to even detect them.

The mob does not always make the right decisions, especially when they have nothing at stake. Public servants usually have nothing at stake and it is very easy to be wrong when spending other people's money as opposed to your own.

I'm all for people being able to sell these non-products, and for people to buy these non-products if they wish for them. While they might not have any meaningful real effect, they can often have a placebo effect which can be beneficial to the purchaser. People are, and should be free to make their own judgements with their money. You can't shelter everyone all the time. If some are no longer able to make sound judgements, they should have support from relatvies with their finances rather than the government.

The current governments around the world are a great example of snake oil salesmen. They've managed to sell everyone an iatrogenic "lockdown" which is harmful their health, with claims that it is for their benefit, with no evidence. Who regulates the government? Who is going to hold these policymakers to account for the excess preventable deaths they've caused which are a result of the lockdowns, as opposed to the mostly unpreventable deaths which were a cause of nature (if we assume the virus is of natural origin)?

Very good point, thank you.

As regards Perl 6, a recent development was to rename it to Raku, which (in hindsight) seems like a perfectly sensible decision. The overloading of the name Perl for a language that proved to be something different from Perl 5 caused trouble both ways. Perl 5 was widely considered to be a version that was to be eventually be replaced, whereas Perl 6 was considered a language that was a close and direct iteration of Perl 5. So we basically got the worst of both worlds. Perl 5 is very much in use today, still being actively maintained and is getting new features regularly, while Raku/Perl 6 is a beautiful new different language with interesting ideas being worked on by many brilliant folks, and the notion of trying to be in any way compatible with Perl 5 seems utterly irrelevant today.

Accuweather? Lol please give me that 45 day daily forecast! All apps use the same fucking forecasts that our government puts out. The problem i think is with people's expectations. They dont understand weather and think it's easy to predict like some other things. They dont understand that it is a dynamic, chaotic, non linear system where repeating the same process 1000x will always yield slightly diff results

Gun is not a taser or a nightstick. It is a lethal weapon and should only be employed when you have a reason to kill.

Are you suggesting that if you sat a child down in front of a computer and walked away, they wouldn't eventually know how to do most things?

Children are more likely to try stuff without fear of bad outcomes. It's the adults who need hand-holding. Children will click everything to see what happens.

I know this is probably too old for many readers here, but there was a time when people had VCRs (video cassette players). Most VCRs had a built in digital clock, and many of those VCRs had no backup battery. One little power blip meant the VCR clock would reset to something useless and annoying.

Children or grandchildren would be routinely tasked with setting those clocks, since only they seemed to know how. And almost certainly, those children did not read the manual to learn how to do the unintuitive things with the limited interfaces that would result in setting the clock.
No, I have specifically told every interviewer that I wanted to learn X and Y during interviews (and I had no intention to leave).

To be precise it is more in the context of founders and this text from the message above "see how a successful company operates". Basically if you go there and say "hey I am a founder and I need to learn how X works in a successful company"

Anyway I definitely extrapolated this, I doubt anyone would say it this blatantly. Just --if--.
This is pure nonsense, there's never been more things to do and places to go to meet people.

The alternative would be intervening and things possibly getting violent. The well-being of a statue isn't worth the possibility of causing harm to someone.

Four of those killed were under the age of 17, and seven were over the age of 55. Of those killed, all but five were men, 54 were white, 19 were black and 11 were Hispanic.

No idea about cheese, somebody is probably working on it. I would make a guess that the market for artificial milk is not worth the investment for most businesses, vegans, vegetarians and plant-based people moved on to plant milks and I think they're here to stay. There is a Swedish producer making high fat oat milk which apparently works really for coffee foam. My perspective is the question of whether or not plant milk vs cow milk is nutritionally equal doesn't matter since cow milk is not really required in modern society. It's an incredibly calorie and fat rich product that's intended for a developing calf, it was useful for humans living in harsh, winter conditions prior to industrialized farming but we can make up those calories elsewhere now.
Unless the leadership at the IA changes I don't see a happy outcome for the IA. Even if they win this lawsuit that will just make them bolder until they do something that they don't win.

There is just a conflicting set of goals between being an activist freedom of information non-profit and being a stable repository of knowledge for future generations. Right now the former is in charge, it seems, and so it's just a matter of time before they bite off too much.

edit: Interestingly the mission statement of the IA is to "provide Universal Access to All Knowledge." So the leadership is arguably following the mission statement. So, really, the problem is that the IA is simply not a good custodian for long term knowledge storage and should step aside for a better aligned organization to take that over.

I hate to be the person who's like "you're holding it wrong" but your usage of DNS is incorrect according to the RFCs. All configured DNS servers are assumed to serve the same content. The idea of every DNS request "trying" the first server, timing out, and then the next, and the next is a calcified implementation detail.

A DNS client looking at the list of servers, and marking the speed and reachability of each server is the most basic optimization. It makes no sense for clients to add n seconds to every request for every unreachable DNS sever.

The async DNS feature using Chrome's internal DNS client which behaves differently than glibc and so pihole appears to not work. Chrome is not injecting its own DNS servers into the mix or whitelisting anything, it always uses your system's DNS servers, it just looks them all up in parallel which it is allowed (and encouraged) to do by the RFC.

Make sure all your configured DNS servers are pihole and everything will work.

CBT, somatic psychotherapy and mindfulness are all modalities that ask you to see things as they really are, so that you can break through false beliefs. Somatic psychotherapy is interesting in that it allows you to find the physical armoring that is a manifestation of the protections and anxieties that one develops because of trauma. Each alone, or in combination, may be beneficial. And the work of Gabor Mate is also worth exploring, especially with respect to early childhood traumas and the concept of reframing.
I think companies are just looking for ways to help, and this is what Github came up with.

I agree it's an odd reason for the change. The word "master" without "slave" has many meanings, usually but not always when one person or thing controls another.

It's used for dog owners ("a dog and his master"). A person can be the "master of their own fate" or a "master of disguise." Seinfeld joked about people being "masters of their own domain."

All of that said, I don't really mind the result, whatever the reason. I remember that the name struck me as odd when I first started with Git.

I assumed it came from "master copy," which in media is the copy from which other copies are made. But that doesn't really fit, in my view, because the whole point of a master copy is that it doesn't change. In Git the master is always changing.

The other meanings don't fit either. The "master" branch doesn't really control anything, it is controlled by the user.

So calling it "master" never really made sense to me. It seems like "primary," "main," "central" or a similar word fits better.
The fact there's so many ifs and buts shows this can't be a clear line. In the eyes of the law, it's about the intent of the action - which is why the ambiguity at the Terms and Conditions level is probably for the best.

I've built something that is commonly pirated and it was pretty annoying when a direct search of my creation ranked the free pirated version next (or above) my main site.

When driving through other jurisdictions with speed traps etc, I certainly do want to blame those taxpayers for enabling their local gang to be attacking me. But if I take a look at the jurisdictions I am party to, I am powerless. Blaming voters is a fallacy of late-stage Democracy.

The deep seated issue is the principle agent problem around elected officials. The police threaten the politicians, who don't want to rock the boat, to get a lopsided contract that makes them virtually immune to any oversight. This is why we're literally at "defund the police" - citizens are finally crying uncle and demanding that their city's entire contract be thrown away and redesigned.
Exactly.

'master' as used in git doesn't at all imply 'slave', but instead 'definitive'.

The real problem will not be solved by newspeak naming, but by actually giving genuinely equal opportunity to everyone, and perhaps more importantly, the means and environment to take up that opportunity.
Weatherunderground hater here. There are a large number of stations (Ambient Weather is a big seller in the US) that hook up neatly and conveniently to only supply data to wunderground.

But then you are 100% reliant upon them for their graphs and app displays, which are slow and often broken, and give you little choice in formatting. For example, the app doesn't display a wind history at all, but the web does. But it won't display on a variety of mobile devices very well.

I know they're free (at the advertising level anyway) but I would love to see some competition with better display options and broader browser / device support.

I currently "tee" my transmissions through another server, but only because I have a model of station (no longer made) that made this trivial. Now you have to intercept the RF which is much more of a pain.

Yeah it’s true that clickbait might be a necessary evil in a 0.25 second attention span world but in this case “10k Steps a Day is a Myth” is the _opposite conclusion_ that the study the content was written around supports, since 10k is more beneficial than less than 10k.
