It only destroys the livelihood of people who decide to die on some mountain of political thought exercise that doesn't belong in a professional workplace to begin with.

There's no transfer of power happening. Professionalism is and always has been inherently incompatible with unfettered "debate and free thought".
I recall reading that some localities have already made changes to their body camera recording rules which rule video footage inadmissible if it has been edited to remove context.

One of the stupidest things they’ve done is insist that all Apple Arcade games be new. This instantly kills the potential of the library while simultaneously doing nothing to clean up the rest of the App Store scams. Besides, people already own or know of tons of games outside Arcade that they want to play...why not capitalize on that?

There are plenty of older games that could fit the Arcade model as-is. For those that don’t (e.g. pay-to-play) at least having the option to modify their games for Arcade would be good for developers, good for Apple and certainly good for users (less crappy experiences on the store).

And while I’m commenting...does Apple realize how dumb it looks to have both “Games” and “Arcade” categories, especially when there are only 4 total categories!?
at least, my nodejs projects will all the space necesary.
And as I said - EFF isn’t acting as blind legal council - they are tying themselves to IA even saying they are proud to stand with them and pledging financial support for them. This is totally different from a public defender being elected for a citizen. I didn’t say it was illegal for EFF to do this or that they were breaking the law, I said they were on the wrong side of the law.
> Those monetization options pay less than you think they do for the vast majority of creators.

Traditional publishing has the same issue to a far greater extent, due to the inherent barriers to entry in that model. Something like Kickstarter or Patreon is actually far more equitable. (Bearing in mind that this sort of content provision is very much a superstar sector, with a handful of unicorns and lots and lots of also-rans, so "more equitable" is still quite relative!)
The issue is too many Android apps won't even run without Google's malware installed. Even Google's direct competitors' apps depend on it. Skype from Microsoft will not run on Android without Google Play last time I tried it. So I needed to move to a platform where the default assumption is not that users have Google's background malware enabled, and that means anything based on Android is off the table.
Speaking of timing.. .you got that Timing chain Tensioner replaced right? Mine blew on my 2009 Eos and lunched the motor.

I agree that short videos can be misleading. But I think it's wrong to say that we're only allowed to get one side of the story, because some media outlets are focusing heavily on riot/looting/destruction of property (and essentially not covering the protests when they are completely peaceful).

Another point is that protesters feel the police should not be using these amounts of force at all.

I think what this boils down to is that it is evidence of use of force. If this was a courtroom, it would be up to to the defence/prosecution to argue each side, and provide whatever missing context would affect the judge/jurors decision.

Like anything in the 'court of public opinion', it doesn't work like that. Police departments (and city/local governments) are free to put out statements defending their actions as well.

Ideally, the person(s) maintaining this repository would respond to extra gathered evidence/context and remove any links where the context determines something else is happening. That would further strengthen their arguements, as it removes arguments of "well that one doesn't was `justified`, so maybe they all are".

But in general, I have to say that any individual has no responsibility to provide 'both sides' of the argument. The police almost always say their use of force is justified, so they're not the unbiased party either.
I really dont understand this comment and this attitude? Being a police officer is a job, one can choose to change it at any time, it is not even comparable to a race, gender, etc. If your same comment was written about software engineers or plumbers, would it not seem a bit odd? I don't understand the putting a job on a pedestal, especially a job where someone is given the power to violently assault and kill people and get away with it.
Those sound ludicrous -- are you describing a real product in this space?

OTOH I think real subtle hand gestures could be a great input mechanism. The interface used by the now-abandoned "Soli" might be worthwhile. Voice interaction seems very tedious and embarrassing to use in public.
If you look at what they've released, it seems this was the best outcome. I don't know if Focals 2.0 were ever going to see the light of day, and Focals 1 plus the Myo weren't exactly a hit.

I do feel bad for the employees whose options are now worthless though, and even worse if they'd already exercised them.

"Offline storage is important if you care about things like ransomware."

There are other solutions to this problem.

Specifically, if your cloud storage provider performs zfs snapshots for you, those snapshots are immutable and cannot be altered, or destroyed, by the user login:

I'm sure there are similar mechanisms available in S3 and other cloud storage implementations (albeit, perhaps not using ZFS).

The sentence says "physical contact". You can be a warm, friendly and supportive leader without touching people.
We're getting closer and closer to the virtual light from William Gibson's novel of the same name.
From what I saw on Twitter, most of the videos alleging police using force without reason were misleading, and leaving out all the footage preceding police action. In cases where others uploaded longer videos or different angles, it was clear that protesters were acting illegally, or ignoring clear verbal warnings, or refusing lawful orders to disperse, and so on. By leaving those crucial additional bits out, activists were generating outrage online where none was deserved. The same applies here, and I encourage people to take resources like this with a grain of salt.
I think the biggest problem with smart glasses, (AR tech) is the battery/power system. A family member worked at a defunct AR eyeglass maker and mentioned that point. Magic leap is in that space also and their solution was a huge battery pack(hip mounted) with a chord attaching to the glasses. His company had the power supply near the ear(it was smaller but didn't have enough juice to last hours). These examples(north glasses) seem pretty simple with just basic info being piped out, the two examples I mentioned above you could play movies and watch detailed realistic meta scenes imposed on reality.

If power can be figured out in small form factor the end results could really be incredible. After trying out the demo AR glasses to my family members company(5 years ago) it was one of the most incredible things I have ever seen and felt like sci-fi come true.
Something seems wrong about this analogy.

Scarcely any U.S. city can compete with Quito—a place I was told would be poor and dysfunctional—in the ease of getting around on public transit. The network of these informal bus lines has not been coordinated from above.

These aren't "public transit". They are private bus lines. The right comparison is how easy it is to get around the US using private transit like Uber.

In the US, it's also quite possible to furnish your house over the internet, by getting furniture and other items delivered. Far more efficient than traveling about, either on public or private transit.
> Is the opposite not true on every single police report?

How can you tell? Unless you are politically motivated to exaggerate, then all we really know is that there have been some high profile instances where police reports have been falsified. But I don't know how we can reliably expand that to all police reports.

Fundamentally, police officers are sworn, and so their word carries more weight than a non-sworn citizen. This is sensible, but it ought to come with strings attached. Lying, for example, should reliably results in a perjury charge.
All the content on Aether is text — it's pretty hard (but not impossible) to make text illegal. Of course what is on your computer is your responsibility, nothing changes that. There is a SFW list enabled by default that only shows the 'safe' communities to you in the app, but your app still communicates everything as of today.

However, this is actually the most common feature request we have right now, an ability to block certain communities from transmitting. We are converting the SFW list to a 'filter lists' feature, much like adblock filter lists. These lists can be whitelists or blacklists, and they will be able to control not just visibility, but also the receiving and transmittance of content as well.

So the expected behaviour is that if a community is in your blacklist, your computer will never fetch that content from that community by checking against its fingerprint. That should be helpful to solve this issue. We'll be providing a default whitelist as well.
The Key Device Needed for a Quantum Internet
You could always test this hypothesis of yours. Go, dig through the hours of footage of cops purposefully shooting journalists in the eyes, of them running protestors over, and of them confining protestors in corners only to repeatedly tear gas them.

I bet you might even find one that isn't brutality. So report it and see what happens.
Faster at all things, or faster only at certain things that have already been optimized for the iphones?
Gmail and the IDE take ten seconds to load, while youtube is destroying any CPU to watch a 4k video (or 1080p on a battery saving laptop).

Youtube is possibly the single largest root cause for users upgrading laptops over the past 10 years. They made a silent transition to 60 FPS videos last year which cut hundreds of millions of users from watching HD.
If you look at the latest ARM instruction sets they are not really "RISC". Sure, they're much saner than than the crazy legacy instructions that x86 carries, but still nowhere near a "real RISC" ISA as espoused by Hennessy and Patterson, the hallmarks of which are simple, orthogonal, atomic instructions, and a small number of them. Currently that is most closely embodied by RISC-V.

If you look at how you can get computing gains going forward after the end of Moore's law, of course the glib answer is "parallelize across more cores!" but the more interesting path is to notice that behemoth single cores like x86 spend a ton of silicon area trying to optimize straight-line execution with things like speculative execution. If you saved all that silicon area, making each single core slower but smaller, but packed more cores on the die as a result, you would most likely come out faster. [1]

The comment I replied to said that trackers are slow because they are full of stuff, and when you try a new tracker it feels fast because of lack of stuff.
I'd put LLVM/Clang, Chrome, and AOSP into those categories. They all have more modern development tools than e-mailing patch-sets around.
The Rise of Nanoservices
Yup, exactly. I work in production, and you need so much time to prep all of the aspects of a single day of production, and then working each day in to a rational schedule to get everything you need. You can't just change everything on a whim. (not without lots of time and money)
Except that push notifications also require work on telco's side to make sure they don't accidentally cause large battery use.

E.g. there was a long time after Apple introduced push messages where iPhone battery would drain pretty fast because many telcos would have very short connection timeouts on their routing equipment. This forced the phone to wakeup the radio a lot to reestablish connection.

This was "fixed" by whitelisting Apple/Google endpoints, so I wonder how that would work in federated environment.

We took a bet on Linear fairly early on (moved over last August!) and have been consistently impressed. I've used many different tools in the past (Pivotal Tracker, Jira, Trello, Asana, Github...) and Linear has by far the most polished, productive interface of the bunch.

We have fairly strong opinions about our workflow (using points, planning sprints, etc) and have found that even in the cases where Linear isn't as opinionated as we are, or doesn't have granular tools/configuration to manage things, we can get most of the benefits we need by using tags and other features appropriately. I was a die-hard Pivotal Tracker user before this, and it's very hard to imagine going back now.

Super impressive product and team, highly recommended!
One added difference is that the water heater. The intent may be deceptive but they provided what was asked for and what they claimed. It is almost malicious compliance. Dickish gaming and probably worth suing over but not sure if it is criminal fraud per se.

It is like the joke about Soviet factory metrics for some item like nails. They set the quota on numbers and got useless ones better described as needles. They wised up a bit and set the quota by weight next month and got one useless massive nail instead. It isn't even too far from the truth given actual management involved things like a train line circularly shipping coal between depots instead of retrieving from source or distributing to end users to boost their "metric tons transported kilometers" metric.

VW meanwhile had a covert illegal configuration while claiming mileage and lack of maintenancd urea. The claims are outright false - that it provides all three benefits instead of two of three.

> How to improve my abstract thinking?

The simple answer, is practice. I know this is absurd sounding, but it really is the goal here.

While I agree that you should continue down the path of Math, there's other ways to practice abstracted thinking. Pick up some kind of artistic hobby. Painting, music, poetry, story telling, etc. These are all just things that force you to think creatively. Whatever you find interesting. It probably isn't a coincidence that a vast number of high level practitioners in science were also artists in some form or another (Einstein, Newton, Feynman, etc). Abstract thinking is often associated with connecting ideas from different subjects (abstract: disassociated from any specific instance ).

Additionally, focus a lot on creating analogies for things you are studying. This has 2 major benefits (to you). #1, it helps you remember. #2, you have to abstract a concept to create an analogy. Remember that the point of an analogy isn't to be precise, but rather to create an elegant means to abstract a concept (this also is why they are good for communication). An analogy primes you to remember a concept, it doesn't describe it exactly. After all, that high precision is difficult to express and comes with a lot of assumptions.

Lastly, another pure math method: study abstract algebra.
Sounds similar to debian, which is also a very successful and stable project.
"If I steal your car, I have a car and you don't have a car. If I "steal" your book, we both have the book. I'm better off, and you're no worse off. In an "ideal" society, the free sharing of knowledge would be not just allowed, but encouraged."

you are so wrong in this mentality. the bottom line is, that someone took the time and energy to write and publish that book to make money, so that person should be paid. with your mentality, it can be argued the same as downloading a movie or a song or an application. now... aren't all those things illegal and a form of stealing??? so why is downloading a book any different?

i really think that alot of people just don't think things though before they open their mouth and this is one time where you should have thought through your answer instead of jumping on the "knowledge should be free" bandwagon.
The C++ standard is famously complicated about atomics and memory order (for a good reason): https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/memory_order

But on x86, many of these things don't matter, if I understand correctly.
I haven't tried Linear, but my company uses Jira. It's abysmally slow. Not "there are too many tickets and it's hard to manage" slow, just the interface is slow. I opened an issue link in a new tab. It took about 7 seconds for the page to become interactive (able to click on the issue status and get a dropdown) and about 9 seconds for the loading to complete and elements to stop jumping around. This is in Firefox 78 on a Lenovo T480 with 8th-gen Core i7 CPU. Speed.cloudflare.com reports 28.5ms latency with 38.1ms jitter, 339Mbps down. Not a generally slow setup. At least in the case of Jira the interface speed is a huge issue.
...lawful orders...

This is a null category. Free people don't take orders from their employees.
As someone who was in ops, I really disagree with MySQL in that category.

Saw it multiple times at multiple jobs just break on its own.

Most memorable one was a bug where certain pattern of data caused mysql think data is encrypted, crash and refused to start until data was restored from backup. It took quite time to fix it because it happened randomly and initially we assumed it was broken hardware.
Entirely aside from the point that the levels of action in many cases are totally unjustified regardless of the context.

When the forces involved go past the point of reason and start being violent for their own sake, it's time to impose restraint from outside.
From Code Mirror to Monaco
No. Assuming we're talking pretty usual traffic tickets and not talking about driving in a grossly negligent way, no one should _ever_ go to jail for traffic tickets. Largely this logic should apply to any malum prohibitum crime. There are plenty of other ways to enforce these fines/tickets.
> I wonder whether any formal way of estimation actually works

I agree that it is a legitimate concern, I certainly do not advocate a position that software cannot be estimated or planned at all. I think it can be, but only up to certain time granularity, where the attempt to gain understanding for a sensible estimate (and describing what needs to be done) becomes essentially comparable to writing the code in the first place.

I actually have an underdeveloped idea how we could have a completely formal approach to tackle uncertainty in SW development, but it is purely theoretical so far (using a combination of functional programming and information theory).

Climate alarm-ism has honestly set back the whole movement in my opinion. For decades, we've only been 10 years away from extinction and it gave conservatives all the ammo needed to write climate change off as fake. Heck, even The Simpsons mocked this:

Of course every police report is one sided, it represents the police officers description of what happened. Its one sided by its very nature. I am not saying they are all false, merely that they are all one sided.

Remember that a tape has a huge amount of surface area compared to the small track area of a few discs. The material science aspects of that flexible tape flying by a helical scanning head are quite different from the circular tracks of a hard disk.
> As much as you and I may care about that, for many (most?) people the browser chrome is the most important part.

Except that for many/most people it's equally important to have a market choice which drives product improvements by competition. Not being able to choose a fully opensource browser engine (not even Firefox!) on iOS is a severe blow to opensource as a whole and browser engine competition in general. It's way worse than it ever was in times of IE6 - you never needed Microsoft's private signing keys to switch to Firefox or Chrome.
Anything involving cars is probably the biggest ongoing nightmare in our society. People have no appreciation for the danger they're constantly putting themselves and everyone around them in, just to save a few minutes a month in commute time.

(Side note: This is why I'm going long on the stock market again.. it looks like the public and the media have gotten over being scared of the virus. Even if we have another 100-200k deaths in the USA this year, my guess is it'll get swept under the rug just like 50k car deaths, regular flu deaths, heart attacks, etc)
In the Swedish BLM protests it was:

1) Peaceful protest

2) Unsavory elements started throwing things at the police

3) The police didn't respond with violence even though clearly attacked and provoked

We have problems with race profiling and other issues but I think the big focus on de-escalation in police training helps a lot to avoid the situation we see in the US.
We want Linear to scale large orgs with hundreds of engineers. We think most of the time you still work in ~10 person teams so we think lot of the experience stays the same but there are just more teams, more layers, and you need powerful search like this.

We do have plans to enable creating custom views so you could build views like this that present the information in a specific way. We do have GraphQL api it's even possible to build external view like this today: https://github.com/linearapp/linear/blob/master/docs/API.md

Conversely for every one of these there are easily 1000 YouTube videos that shamelessly steal IP outside the bounds of fair use and nobody does anything. If pewdiepie posts a 30 second meme clip from the latest avengers people think it’s funny but if Disney used 30 seconds of pewdiepie in a movie without permission the internet would go nuts and lawyers would be lining up.
