I addressed it by disagreeing with and refuting it. You assumed there was a consensus and agreement on the merits, there is no such consensus; criminality cannot be a proxy for criminality-at least I don't believe that to be the case.

From this, allow me to make my position more clear:

No, we shouldn't "expect" an increase in police violence in response to black criminality, because it assumes violence is the appropriate and proportionate State response to deviant criminal behavior when often it is neither appropriate nor proportionate nor even necessary. Again, Sandra Bland: died during a traffic stop; George Floyd and Eric Garner died during Terry[0] stops. Breonna Taylor died while she was asleep. Cite for me the case law that admonishes an escalation of physical force to issue civil citations and I will consider the point earnestly and openly.

Furthermore, we need to narrow the scope and find an actionable definition for "officer safety" as many LEOs use as a defense against misconduct charges.

Resisting arrest should not be a death sentence, officers should be trained better and dealt with far more swiftly (it took nearly three months for an officer who blind-fired into Breonna Taylor's house to even be disciplined by his precinct and still has not faced charges[1]). If I blind fired my weapon onto the streets and bullets went into someone's home, I'd be arrested and charged. If I blind fired my weapon unprovoked as a member of the armed services, as I formerly was, I'd be court marshaled faster than the SR-71 can fly for failure to follow rules of engagement.

Public peace officers shouldn't be held to any lesser of a standard.

Your premise is therefore addressed, but rejected on merits.

Actually, the "disability" variant of the definition is at the bottom of the list in the dictionary entry for it: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/accessible

Usually, the word accessible means "capable of being reached"

In this case, I mean that my eyes cannot immediately reach to the repository languages because they are beyond the bottom of my screen, thus requiring extra input to reach.

Additionally, it's an awkward place, requiring a bit of mental strain to reach the repository languages. The original layout was more accessible and natural, because it was immediately visible at the top center, requiring no additional mental effort or input.

> Which means your chances of dying during an encounter with a random civilian are about 30 times less than your chance of dying during an encounter with a LEO.

The vast majority of police killings are of people who were armed and chose to get in a fight with them. Even of the few unarmed cases, most of them were asking for it. So if you're just going about minding your own business, the chance is minuscule.
We are still in a semi-lockdown and daily cases are still increasing. It's definitely a bad time to go for a war and the government knows that. More efforts are being put into decreasing the nation's reliance on Chinese imports. Previous tresspasses by the PLA were addressed through diplomacy and the results were good.

I assure you it matters to the victims and their families.

And I don’t disagree about the morality of police abusing their powers...but a death is a death and a tragedy is a tragedy. No one is celebrating the death of their loved one no matter what the killers skin color or occupation.

This is HN, we can be pretty sure that it's not a coincidence.
I am inclined to believe a recent discussion that argues police unions are the root of all this. I don't think you can say it's anything fundamental about law enforcement in the United States, as sheriffs and state troopers (highway patrol) don't seem to have the same scale of problems. You might argue it's an urban vs rural thing, but they still deal with their share of violence, arms, drug traffic, etc. Sheriffs are elected, and there is no sheriff's union.
Really depends on HOW they are investing IMO.

2B in equities won't really do anything other than raise the stock prices for green technologies.

2B in green bonds or direct funding may help to move the needle if the case is that these companies are cash strapped.

But, IMO, the thing that will actually move the needle more than anything else is if Amazon takes that 2B and actually goes out and builds out renewable sources and replaces their delivery vehicles with EVs. Because, simply investing in a company that does green things doesn't guarantee actual change.

It would be a sizable impact if they powered all their services with renewable sources, especially if they don't fall back on the grid (so building out storage for themselves).

But that isn't sustainable anymore now that everyone and their mother does all sorts of sensitive thing on the internet. App Stores may not catch any and all malware, but they'll catch some, or even a lot, and they give Google (or whoever runs one) tools to deal with what slips through. They make getting new extensions transparent and they're trustworthy.

What's missing is legislation to level the playing field; either allow alternate stores on equal terms, or abide by rules that force you to play fair in your own store, things like that. There's no going back to the 90s, it's just a whole different world now.
My hypothesis is the point is to compete with Jira. That would be MS's biggest competitor in this space, and the changes make it look a whole lot more like that.

"Society is disquietingly tolerant of murder when the murderer is wearing a badge"

I agree.

But the original post seemed to be saying that it was rational for blacks to be carefree about criminals and afraid of police, which just doesn't seem in line with the data.

And it's also disquieting how little people seem to care about murder victims, who are much more numerous and also disproportionately black (by a greater factor than the disproportionate killings by police). Those black lives matter, too.
It's still gimped.

There does not seem to be a good reason to refer to him by his full name rather than Scott Alexander. But there are a lot of bad reasons.

The main way I could see using Scott’s full name as being valid is if the reporter is outing some sort of malpractice, which I do not think is the case. I struggle really to think of any other good reasons.
> I'm not making a case.

That much is clear.

> I'm describing the state of the reddit culture. Whether you believe it or not, is incidental.

Very convincing. Oh, I know, you don't care about that in the least.

> Your statements were broader than that. Revisionism aside...

No, they weren't. You stated that the subreddits are ultimately controlled by the site owners, and I explained that the site owners don't ban people based on race and gender. Simple. Revisionism indeed.

> Making statements about YOUR gender (or a number of other attributes) can also get you banned. Here, I'll do a google search for you

The results of the google search does not support the claim you're making, like, not even a single result. Beyond that, mods can ban users for whatever reason they want, but the site owners do not ban people based on their race and gender, that claim is totally false.

> You aren't informed enough to be discussing this and it's not worth rehashing.

lol, a laughable assertion coming from someone who can't even cherry-pick google search results to support their argument. Stop wasting my time.

Uh, thanks for caring so much, but you could've just announced that when you are ready. "We are going to do something in a couple of weeks, we won't tell you what now, but we wanted to give everyone a heads up so it doesn’t come as a shock." is not very informative and sounds more like mockery.
It can be frustrating, but it's almost always worth it in a serious production environment.

I have my own anecdote:
I have serveral home servers running CentOS 7 (set up nearly 6 years ago). I update all the time and I've had zero issues. Literally nothing has ever broken. My previous servers ran CentOS 6, and were equally reliable.

My desktop runs Arch Linux, and gets ever kernel dot release. I've had an unbootable system at least 5 times over the last 5 years, requiring me to boot from a flash drive to downgrade a package, or edit a grub config. As you can imagine, it's bitten me at the worst possible time (when I really don't have time to troubleshoot).

I know some people advocate for Arch on the server, but to me that seems crazy. Nothing against Arch. It's great for a desktop, and I knowingly trade off some reliability/stability for the latest stuff. I wouldn't make that trade on a server that hosted important stuff.
Povilas from the linked blog here.

In open source often no one really cares about a suggested feature or even a submitted pull requests. It means additional work for the project maintainers - discussing design, reviewing code and handling of eventual bug fixes. Often the person who made a PR disappears leaving all future bugs the problem of the maintainer. So naturally project maintainers are risk averse and often say no to new features. Things end up not being implemented, not because it's technically difficult, or there's nobody willing to do the work, but because the incentives don't align.

The above opinion applies to open source in general as I've witnessed during the past decade. I'm not describing any projects that are related touchpad or input that I've been interacting with lately.

House Antitrust Probe at a Crossroads
I don't believe in microbenchmarks like this anymore, I find more value in the typical rewrite experience reports (with the usual caveat of not placing any gains only on the language, but also on the fact that the domain problem is better known so even a rewrite in the same language would have provided some gains)

There are different projects that allow people to compare languages in real scenarios:

- Good old TodoMVC (http://todomvc.com/)

- HNPWA (https://hnpwa.com/), that compares PWAs for accessing the HN api

- RealWorld (https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld) that does the same but for both frontend and backend. The API between both is standardized, so you must be able to mix and match any frontend (including mobile) with any backend. The idea is to build a Medium clone, so it's much closer to a real use case than a todo list

More than the language, the framework and the architecture can play a role in speed. If I cared enough about relative performance, I'd build a client that adheres to the API spec of RealWorld and simulate a few thousand clients on a few thousands posts, all reading and writing posts and comments, and see how well they compare under load. That would be much more telling than comparing who can produce the nth Fibonacci number the fastest.

Do you have an example of that actually working for someone?
Yes, if you sell things (or electronic things), in any meaningful amount (no one will care for 200$ per year though), you have to set up a company or a sole proprietorship. It is like this in most western countries. The activity that you are doing in that case is called business, and of course you need to have a company or a similar business structure (like sole proprietorship) to do business.

Whether all people do it or not is another question, but that is what is required by the law.
