I don't even think that in most cases it's a case of wilfully ignoring. I think many, e.g several people responding to me, genuinely believe more police would lead to more security in poor neighbourhoods.

The trouble as I see it is that police broadly have two functions: to respond to emergencies where violence is likely and to suppress or tax the grey and black economy (huh. just noticed the ufnordunate linguistics of that). The 'responding to emergencies' function will of course still need to be performed, but it's fairly reliable that the poorer a neighbourhood is the less likely the residents are to voluntarily call 911 if an emergency does happen. In truly poor places the 'taxing grey and black markets' part of police work completely overshadows the good done by the 'responding to emergencies' part.

That is understandably very difficult for wealthy people to imagine, because they have very few examples of grey or black markets in their own lives, let alone instances where they have no other options. The thought that most people in any area would rather have enterprising teenagers sell bootleg cigarettes without hassle isn't even repugnant to them, it's just foreign.
Got it. Currently this use case is not supported on the same subdomain, but you could definitely open up two different tunnels (on different subdomains) to do this. Definitely not ideal, so we'll look into adding support for this.
Knowth, which is part of the same Brú na Bóinne complex, is more impressive in my opinion. The reconstruction of the front of newgrange is... questionable. Knowth also has a third of all the examples of megalithic artwork in western europe.
TwitterySafety censors President Trump, accusing him of threatening harm

There’s no need to energize “right-wing xenophobes” - if you think they are a meaningful voting bloc to begin with - they are already voting for Trump.

I think much more likely it’s a strategy to provoke a legislative solution. There is basically no reform legislation that can occur in 2020 without a major forcing function.

If the goal is to make a factual argument, then the facts are that the # of police murders is less than the # of police killings, because some portion of those killings are justifiable.

Where we draw the line is debatable, but the person you were responding to wasn't really attempting to draw a line.
I personally don't have such issues due to rolling distros, but FWIW I had the same problems when upgrading Windows as far as graphics drivers. Though yes, on every OS a major system upgrade might require you to repeat part of your set-up. The only OS where I haven't had such issues are Linux rolling distros.
For me, the React Native experience has been instructive. Android is quick and easy to develop, debug, and deploy. The iOS side includes multiple hoops, constant frustration stemming from XCode, long app release times, and minutes-long builds for production-size apps.

Our team, without any policy dictating daily development habits, has coalesced around Linux/Android development with iOS testing before release.
> but what if it never happens

The problem is that if covid doesn't kill you, stopping the economy will (or at least will make it worse for a large part of the population).

There might be a right trade-off of making heavy use of masks and preventative measures, but this is not currently the implied strategy of the government (as masks are not really enforced).

The difference with SARS-CoV-1 from 2002-2004 was that symptoms were much more aggressive and quick, and thus it was much more easy to trace and quarantine people. With the current one we have a mix of issues: lots of asymptomatic people or symptoms take time to develop.
> If you actually watched the (heavily edited by the guardian) video, you would see the cop was calm and polite the entire duration.

I have seen it. I'm not denying the cop was calm. I called that out in my original comment.

But that does not change the point I made, that he keeps dismissing her obvious signs of distress as lies or indications of guilt, and in doing so demonstrates that he does not understand that people do have genuine reactions of fear to police.

By dismissing that fear and acting the way he is doing he is perpetrating that fear.

> Playing the race card in a country where there really is not systemic racism in the police force is disgusting.

Even Theresa May admits that the Met has issues with systemic racism, after a report commissioned by David Cameron revealed massive disparities in Met treatment by race.

To suggest there is not systemic racism in the police force is disgusting, when official reports as well as former top police officers have confirmed there is.

> You don't think her statement of "you're killing black people" is silly.

No, I think it is an expression of fear and panic, that whether or not that specific fear is justified should be sign to the police officer that they're escalating a situation there is no need to escalate.

I do find it deeply offensive that you keep mocking peoples fear response to this though.
For me, I can spend an entire day tweaking every bit of config in my environment, from my editors/IDEs all the way to my desktop environment/window manager (which of those would I even want to use? That's a week - at least - each to evaluate and twiddle with configuration). Hell, I could spend months evaluating which distribution I want to use.

And sure, I'm doing productive work in there as well, but probably less than I do on my Mac. I still spend too much time tweaking my dev environment and switching between vim and emacs and IDEs, but that's all I really can choose between, which saves time to do actual productive work.
well said -- There's a fundamental difference in TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc and Snapchat. Snapchat is heavily focused on private (one person, small private group) content in contrast with the other networks which mostly focus on public content.
No, this is not what I want, and I’m a power user. I want my machine to solve my problems and not get in my way when I am creating solutions. I do not want to be messing around with the internals, I have better things to do . I pay for it to just work in an environment I hope is vaguely private.
I made the original post you’re replying to, and I agree. Web gmail + shortcuts is actually a great service. I think most people who are fairly satisfied with their email and just want to improve some would be best served starting there.

Personally I found superhuman just better enough that it’s worth it, but that’s because I wasn’t very good at managing email in a web interface, and I like the command line approach in Superhuman.
If it was just a few voices on Twitter, it would be less of a problem. But it's also journalists, academics, grievance entrepreneurs of various stripes — all of whom exert an influence on the general public. It's businesses that don't want to get on the wrong side of those people. And it's employees of those businesses who don't want to get fired.

"Cancel culture" is just a new spin on scapegoating, behavioral contagion, and public shaming, all of which have a very long history.
Chrome has a beta extension API that does this:
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/declarativeNetReques...

However, this API could be used to optimize some of (not all of) the networking filtering that uBO does. Network filtering is distinct from cosmetic filtering, the latter is what injects scripts into every page.
The uBO wiki has some nice documentation of the different features, measurements of their overhead, etc. E.g.: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Doesn't-uBlock-Origin...
That's a well-reasoned explanation, thank you. A more casual defence of their strategy would be to compare their critics to Mister Gotcha:

Android and RHEL are completely different scenarios.

The target of Android, which is who Google has to deal with, is multiple manufacturers creating kernels for custom hardware (often without upstream drivers), with very short product life, relatively little experience with upstream contribution and few needs for new features for a given major release of Android.

RHEL is developed by a single company with a 10 years life cycle, only 3-4 kernel versions to juggle but almost non-overlapping lifecycle (as far as the initial development-heavy phase is concerned). Development occurs upstream first and quite a few engineers are upstream developers or maintainers, so that the number of non-upstream features is very small and almost going down over time, see for example stuff like the secure boot lockdown patches that Matthew Garrett started when he was at Red Hat. And even though the product is not the kernel, we need to backport more features than what goes into LTS, because userspace needs them (user namespaces, driver updates, networking or virtualization optimizations, enablement for new processors, etc.)

So it's only natural that there are completely trade-offs to make.
You clearly don't understand how bitcoin works.

Saying Bitcoin is flawed because Mt. Gox got hacked, is like blaming the manufacturer of your car because it was stolen when you left it in parking garage with no attendant, and left the keys in the ignition with the window down.

There was no technological flaw with bitcoin itself, there was plenty of technical flaws with Mt. Gox web site.

How to analyse supply demand gaps to improve unit economics?
The page we're discussing here actually says you can't mix arm64 and amd64 code in a single process, if your binary is amd64 all your libraries will be too. I'd be surprised if they put in the work to generate thunks for all their system libraries and then didn't make it possible to use any others. More likely macOS will just have two copies of all the (non-iOS) libraries and the only point they work together is the kernel since that's a nice clear barrier.
Being able to swap out RAM and storage and battery from factory-provided can extend the lifetime (and even increase the performance capacity) of a given machine at nothing more than the cost of the new parts.

It isn't just the cost of new parts. It's also the cost of those parts being larger in order to accommodate user-accessibility and replacement. When everything is surface-mounted on the PCB it can be made a lot smaller. This allows Apple to shrink the laptop as well as allocate more space for the battery.

No one is asking for phones where we can swap out the RAM and storage. Why do we want this from laptops? I'm typing this on a 2020 Air which I configured with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. I really don't anticipate a need to upgrade either of these things before the machine reaches end of life anyway.
Can such a model be used to compare a real picture of a suspect with a low res picture and produce an objective measure of similarity (i.e. not only raw pixel similarity but a similarity measure that actually takes into account how actual human faces downscale, possibly resilient to minor rotations?)

> I suspect that non-App Store apps for the Mac may be seeing the twilight.

I doubt it. There's literally no reason at all to transition macOS to be like iPadOS... since iPadOS already exists.

If they wanted to do that they could literally simply discontinue macOS and only sell devices with iPadOS. Boom, done. Of course, there are a million reasons to not do that, which is why macOS will continue to exist.

It's just an extreme example to show that time and life both have comparable value.

Speed limits have an implicit value comparison. If you want to minimize dwaths you could ban all modes of transportations or set a 1 mph speed limit, but we value our economy and time more than the amount of deaths caused by higher speed limits.

I agree there's a lottery-like dynamic in open software funding. The winner-outliers are well known, broadly remarked, and frequently advertised. The long, long tail of financial busts gets downplayed, though we all know it's there.

Same for startups, by the by.

I don't think it's necessary to personalize the rules, odds, and constraints that reinforce these outcomes. We could find individuals who see how it works and like it. But I haven't seen evidence to show they add up to any kind of conscious conspiracy. I'm more concerned about the smaller players who aren't winning and haven't seen how the game is skewed.

Why do big companies insist on making their own font and then putting on a parade to celebrate its debut? Arial, Helvetica, and countless other fonts are a better option since I already have them installed, don't need a special license, and are battle tested and highly refined. If they felt strongly in paying a typographer, they should have contracted one to fix the hinting in macos so type wasn't a blurry mess.
Hell no. You can't just "guess by words."

The only thing (far!) worse than no impact marking is incomplete impact marking. That's just giving people a way to cop out, and they WILL use it.
It shows how powerful these platforms have come to be that even when you are protesting their monopolies/censorship, that you still have to rely on them to get the word across.
Almost everyone I know have been talking about leaving and as time goes on the fraction that actually left is increasing. Changing the constitution would most likely accelerate the process.
You didn’t even mention their piece de resistance - killing a story on a nationwide illegal mass surveillance program, then being scooped by their own reporter years later as he’s publishing his story on how the NYT is complicit in keeping the program out of view of the public.

Quest is a huge step up from go, so I don’t think anyone is going to complain in this case. Most new apps/games aren’t being released for it anyway.

The point being made was your kid is more likely to be endangered by police than random criminals. Your math here isn't really attempting to prove or disprove that point, instead you're talking about likelihood of police vs average american. That's a pretty uncontroversial statement you just made, as police engage in a much more dangerous line of work than your average american.

Is this similar to FIRE?
Not sure what that has to do with hardware but I'll bite: users don't care. They don't know what a browser is, what a client is, or an URL or URI or address bar. They want a device that when they turn it on and type in 'tictoc dance dog' it shows them something that resembles what they had in mind. Doesn't matter if it runs WebKit or Gecko or if someone thought it'd be cool to emulate a trident-based engine on iOS on ARM in a custom browser.

Freedom 'to do what you want' has not had much to do with what works in the world of selling to the masses when it comes to user experience (and yes that is ironic).

Regarding 'using' and 'their' and 'machine': I meant an activity based scenario which is what most people see themselves doing. They mostly have no concept of ownership, actions or device semantics. The reason is simple: it's not needed to be a user and it's not needed to get the same results as other people in your group have. And for a lot of people all that matters is doing the same as the rest of the local group.

Edit number 3: you can apparently select your default protocol handler in iOS 14. I bet there are some double digit Google users that want that for Chrome, and a few sub-1% users that want FireFox. But that's still not freedom because they all use the same renderer and JS engine. On the other hand: it's unlikely that people care about that, and the people that do are not likely to run iOS at all. Luckily, you don't have to use iOS. Or a phone. So some aspects of freedom are unchanged.
Been running Manjaro Linux for 2 years now on 2 desktop workstations and 1 laptop. No fiddling needed. Everything just works. (I had to install one utility called libinput-gestures to use multi-touch gestures on the laptop.)

Matter of fact, my life is easier with this setup than it ever was with macOS or Windows since every piece of software I need is in the package manager including official Chrome, Slack, Thunderbird, Zoom, Beyond Compare, VS Code, Node.js, .NET Core, Docker, MySQL Workbench, Azure Data Studio and many, many, many more...

I avoided Linux for years because every time I tried, it would break but Manjaro/XFCE never broke once on me. I can't recommend it enough. So glad I'm no longer a slave to Apple or Microsoft.
I predict that Apple will go on from this in strength. Moved some of my VITAX directly into AAPL.

I just "use linux" and I get all the benefits with much better hardware (more memory, disk storage, speed for compilation), better drivers (important especially for GPU support for either graphics/rendering work or machine learning) and my downsides are... what exactly? Itunes, Mail, etc, none of the software shipping with MacOS is actually any good. I don't use Safari. From your perspective, what aspect of the "customer focus" materially improves anything? ICloud? The thing that lost a ton of my data over the years? Safari? The thing that doesn't even support WebGL 2 or other standards that are a decade old? (seriously, safari is the new internet explorer).

> Advertisement doesn't have to lie, it can just provide useful information you haven't seen yet. Although it generally does.

That's the crux, though. It technically doesn't have to be like this, but it almost always is - so "advertising is a bunch of consumer-hostile lies" is a more accurate generalization than "advertising informs people".
Strongly agreed, I haven't even kinda liked Windows since Win7. Still, it's not as bad as the constant oops-rebooted-there-goes-your-work fest I recall from early Win10. I forget it's there most of the time, until I suspend my work VM and fire up Steam for some games.

I don't really trust a ZFS root on Linux not to, you know, suddenly break in ways that keep it from booting up, so absent that the snapshotting you can do for your whole OS when it's running in a VM is very handy, too. Though of course you could do that with any OS playing host—Windows is just convenient as the best driver shim available on generic x86 hardware, really. Takes a bunch of the headaches out. "I want to upgrade this, will my Linux installation become way less stable if I do?"—who cares, it sees what VBox shows it.
