> Can you fine a whole precinct for the abusive acts of one officer?

Absolutely not, because such measures would likely be considered governmental acts that violate constitutional rights such as due process. More than just being allowed to have their own criminal courts (as mentioned in the article), the military is granted many other exceptions under the law.
I haven’t looked much at Gemini, but what if Markdown was the format? The raw text is decent and renders to PDF/HTML nicely. More importantly, it’s a well-established format with plenty of libraries available.
No, neutron stars are not supported by neutron degeneracy pressure. It’s the repulsive short distance interaction of the strong force.
One starting observation I'd venture is those countries (and Canada) base their policing on Peelian principles, which establish a basis of policing and the relationship with the public. The US police culture had different roots.

Edit: for reference, the list of principles that were issued to each new police officer in London from 1829 onward.

1. The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder

2. The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police actions

3. Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public

4. The degree of co-operation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force

5. Police seek and preserve public favour not by pandering to public opinion but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law

6. Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient

7. Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence

8. Police should always direct their action strictly towards their functions and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary

9. The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it

I find much wisdom there, and as I go down that list I find it hard not to think for each item of counter-anecdotes from the news about US policing in recent years.
> The correct formulation involves the subtle concept of decoherence.

The trouble is that decoherence only explains part of the story. With decoherence you end up with the probability density converging into multiple outcomes. But decoherence does not in any way explain that the choice is made to pick one of these outcomes.

As for what is wrong with QM, the main issue for me is the measurement process, which is just posited axiomatically. How measurement works should be explained by the theory but it is just posited. They assume a classical device that does the measurement. Decoherence explains bits of it but much is left hanging loose.
All those "dialects" including Microsoft's Edge and Apple's Safari use the same Chrome's rendering engine underneath called "Blink", so no.

Only Firefox has a different engine (Gecko), so it qualifies.

Eh, this is from 2014.
There have been epi efforts to oversample people in the blm protests specifically to examine its impact on infection rates and find it didn't matter. They didn't have an explanation but suspected it had to do with the protests mostly being outdoors.
It would seem farfetched to suggest that this is a widespread issue. And yet it would seem farfetched to suggest that cops would just kill someone for the fuck of it, and yet here we are.
I thought is was generally considered poor form to run an open proxy?
I will continue tut-tutting politicians that are not centrist enough. Pandering to extreme perspectives strikes me as representing the interests of fewer people.

Not using end to end encryption for personal files in 2020 is fail by design. It's not only a problem that people at Dropbox can read the content, numerous data breaches have shown that this is not a good choice and never will be.

The sad truth is that users usually don't understand the implications until it's too late.

Features like search and preview can be implemented at the client side as well and synchronized between trusted peers. This might be harder to do but it's possible.

Please don't get me wrong, I admire the technological achievements done at Dropbox and their excellent engineers. But sooner or later they need to switch to a secure model as more and more people gain awareness of the security and privacy implications.
And with that observation, you're into the Everett interpretation. Also called Many Worlds.

Namely that when an observer observes a quantum mechanical system, you get a quantum mechanical system that can be described as a superposition of parallel observers who each think that they saw something different. Those parallel observers cannot meaningfully interact thanks to thermodynamic considerations.

Of course accepting this description involves believing in quantum mechanics a little more than most feel comfortable believing in it...
Alternatively it’s a signal that FB no longer holds most relevant data. They used to be able to market themselves as indispensable marketing tool (and they were) but that’s changed dramatically in the past couple of years. I imagine Apple played a bigger role than people realize.

I've never had an issue with forced updates with Windows 10. Might be because I use the Enterprise edition?

For many practical purposes, the higher Windows 10 tiers such as Enterprise and Education are a different product to the lower ones such as Home and Pro.

Microsoft isn't stupid and knows that professional sysadmins at large organisations would never surrender control of their corporate networks and the devices on them to an external party, so Microsoft doesn't try to push much-criticised aspects of Windows 10 such as mandatory telemetry and upgrades in that market.

If you want to get it, I recommend the Microsoft Action Pack

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any legal method to acquire Windows 10 Enterprise without signing up for all the other enterprise junk that no small business wants to deal with. The Pro edition of Windows used to cater to the small business and power user market, yet bizarrely in Windows 10 that edition seems to have been heavily downgraded and is now little better than Home in the negative aspects we're talking about here.
It is disappointed.
I love Microsoft and their services. I do expect Microsoft will take their real effort and focus to customer, the end user, but looks like it will never happen.
Do we know in any definitive manner why people join gangs?
That's fair; I am not a musician and have no thoughts on whether spotify or youtube or Amazon whatever or physical records are best.

As to your first question, I think in my area it is both, though I was mainly thinking in terms of "stations that dont play top 10 or 40 hip hop / pop / country / faux rock".

> The wavefunction is a nonlocal variable!

Important point. It is quite unfair to say "nya nya local hidden variable theories cannot replicate QM", when QM is itself radically non-local.
But how can one understand something in terms of some other, more basic, things when it itself is the most basic thing there is, save for the only language in which one can describe it in a meaningful way, math. We understand how atoms work, how semiconductors work, etc. - all in terms of quantum mechanics, but there is nothing else (but math) that can possibly “explain” how quantum mechanics itself “works” the way it does.

It's oft forgotten how much more uncertainty we lived with in the pre-internet era. Once you've gotten used to the memex it's hard to imagine life without one.
It's paraphrased from famous quotes that lament "when I had the energy/enthusiasm/optimism (of adolescence) I didn't have the wisdom/resources (of adulthood) to do anything consequential with it, and once I overcame the poverty of youth (in wisdom/resources) I was too spent/cynical/weary in adulthood".

It suggests a constraint on humans' impact - an inverse correlation between will & power that yields a flattened curve when plotted against time - and implies that we're restrained by nature.

But if that constraint were broken...
I would like the free speech absolutists in these Facebook threads to answer for this. Seriously.
It's actually not an absurd straw man, because, similar to getting a vaccine, a big part of wearing a mask is demonstrating respect for others. I certainly don't think it's some sort of panacea, but unlike shutting down businesses the cost is virtually nothing. The fact that the tiniest of inconveniences, in order to show respect for your fellow humans, is met with cries of "my freedom!!" is incredibly sad to me.

And talk about a straw man: "strap a spit-covered rag to their face". Most people wash their clothes. I certainly hope you don't "strap a shit covered rag (i.e. underwear)" to their bottom.
The Earth was scheduled to return to another ice age in about 500 years— with ice two miles thick over Boston, Chicago, Paris, and many other places. But that won’t happen now. There is already too thick of an atmospheric carbon dioxide blanket.

Um, I'm not seeing the problem here. Who wants an Ice Age?!
A karma system and/or paid accounts, which will discourage people from breaking the rules (because they now have something tangible to lose, either their high-karma account or the money they paid for it).

The karma system can also reduce the amount of content needed to moderate because low-karma users will be limited by the system (to limit the potential damage from a fresh malicious account) while the high-karma users are more or less trusted because they have much to lose by breaking the rules.
Facebook Adds Labels for Some Posts as Advertisers Pull Back
Writing ai trading systems is the coding I do for fun since 2012. I'm a little under break even so far but I keep at it because find it so interesting. Since I started every single week I have learned a new way of thinking about a problem I encountered or a new approach to problems that still stand in my way.

Questions like, how do you choose a stoploss? Well you can pick it statistically based on history or you can use a supervised label. You can even use stock A calculated stoploss to pick the stoploss you use on stock B because you found a condition under which those two stocks became almost identicall correlated. How do you want to pick the supervised label? You can do spectral analysis to pick the stoploss too. You can use sentiment as a stoploss, source from google news or twitter or stocktwits.

It doesn't have to be, 'well I measured the average profitable stoploss to use over the last 10 years across all stocks and that isn't working so I quit'

Things like that, you get to fit the ideas together and then test them in the real world.

There are some things I would like to share.

1. Just because you have a good forecast doesn't translate into cash. It has to be paired with a trading strategy. This is probably why the author thinks the answer is RL, because coincidentally if you approach this problem with RL, it does the forecasting + strategy.

2. I have measured a correlation between heavier processing(using a higher big O) and better out of sample performance.

The criticisms with the NN approach like non stationary data have obvious solutions that a 'by the book' trading approach + ml approach don't really teach beginners so they dismiss it.

It is my belief right now that there are people who are prepping data from sources like iextrading then using things like sagemaker to develop good enough forecasting and combining it with a statistics+rules based trading strategy to make living wages.

That said, I have 5k account size for my NN obsessions, and my 401k is 'by the book'.

person_of_color is totally right when he says it is a Moby Dick of programming.
ORANGE MAN BAD RAWRRRRR
And what are the victims of violent crimes in those neighborhood do in the interim between the take resources from the already strained police departments and use them other for long-term measures? And I'm even assuming they even would have worthwhile results of course despite the premise that such programs would work is given in a matter of factly manner.

Put yourself in the shoes of an innocent PoC who's house just got robbed. Will not having cops available to your neighborhood to respond to the call make you feel more or less prejudiced against?
Will they derive that much comfort in knowing that maybe, in one or two generations thing MIGHT be slightly less bad.
And will the criminal elements, seeing the lowering in police response, not grow more bold and escalate?
Well you need conduit to run fiber generally; so you would be doing both.
+1 for indexes. This is the route most successful traders seem to take - alternating between indexes and bonds. You won't see Warren Buffet buying stocks on Robinhood.
Given the (according to me) fact that many worlds (more aptly named the Relative State Interpretation) is true and correct, one can confidently predict that no "collapse" will be found. That, and the fact that people have been looking for actual collapse of the wave function for many decades.
He had already used violent force to stop a legal and peaceful protest for no legal reason and was threatening to do it again. That sounds exactly like “someone should go beat those people up”.
It can recover fast, but it will take a long time to recover fully. Even if the next administration is more...sane and stable, when you go back to the negotiating table around the world the other parties will be wary of future US administrations that are as bad or worse than Trump's. Why trust your word on things, why even trust any new legally binding international obligations, when they may just get trampled in the next few years? I think this will be lessened if Trump only has a single term ("oh, they recognized the mistake and corrected") vs a second term ("oh no, there is wide spread support for his behaviour and future administrations can tap into that sentiment to gain power") will dictate how America is viewed by other governments and who is willing to still play ball instead of starting a new game without you.
One thing that people need to keep in mind as well is that people who are obsessively online are going to have a much greater presence than those who have a more balanced life, and people who are more judicious about there output are going to have much less of a presence than people who throw out content without any thought.

A lot of people assume that online content is representative of the majority of the community, when it's likely representative of a very small but very active minority that very well might be mentally unstable. The 1% rule of internet culture is well known, but there's evidence that things are even more skewed than that[1].

It's likely that the design of much of the current web ends up greatly amplifying the voices of some of the most unhealthy people in the community, to the point where they end up driving the discourse.

Show HN: A Reddit reader that looks like the frontpage of a print newspaper
So a radio play gets $0.12 and goes out to 10,000 listeners. Amazon Music Unlimited pays $0.012 per stream, or $120 for 10,000 listeners. Spotify pays $0.00318 per stream, or $31.80 per 10,000 listeners.

Maybe radio does haven't that many listeners? But by my math, if your radio play goes out more than 265 people, you are getting less per listen than on Spotify.

The real loss is the $15 10 track CD, which someone would have to listen to 471 times to reach Spotify pricing.
To be fair, microtrenching sucks. It’s extremely difficult to dig around lines that have even micro trenched without damaging them. Our “micro trenches” are still 16” deep, but we stopped doing that. Our new stuff is a minimum of 24”, generally 36” deep. I know people who were doing it between 4-8” and I think that’s just plain stupid.
Agreed, but an issue with a game theoretical explanation like that is it doesn’t account for the way that the kind of government people will agree on is highly culturally contingent. In other words it explains why people will get around to forming any government, but says little about how specific governments function (or fail to). To stick with Rome for example, it doesn’t explain why Augustus could rule as Princeps but would’ve lasted five minutes if he’d tried to rule as an eastern style despot.

My real point, rather than trying to articulate a complete theory of statehood in some cockamamie HN post, is to push back against the common formulation that finds the source of state power in state violence. The real story is meaningfully more complex.
> Since racism is systemic...

Regardless of public opinion, how do we know this? Couldn't black people be just innately more violent then whites due to genetics? They certainly have dominated professional sports which indicate there are at least some differences. Wouldn't that extend to mental attributes as well, or does evolution and biology just stop at the neck?

This was always the plan. Pretend to follow and enforce UNE regulations for a few years, so that lots of investors would be fooled into thinking that competition could exist in USA telecom. Then after lots of infrastructure has been built out that the Daughters Bell would like to acquire for pennies on the dollar (to subsidize their simultaneous large investment on the wireless side), completely stop enforcing any UNE program. CLEC pitches to new customers: "If you sign up today, we'll be able to start your service in one to five months!" Poof, there goes the business. Now you have to sell all your customers, equipment, marketing, etc. to the same assholes who colluded with FCC to screw you over, at fire-sale prices. ILEC execs, bankers, and politicians got rich. Telecom investors learned they have to wire around anything that FCC/PUCs can reach. In dense locations that may be fiber. Everywhere else it will be higher-GHz-band wireless. Absorption will make anticonsumer regulation more obviously corrupt, and there will be only so much that FCC can do.

In general, this is how massive new laws in USA work. Lots of consumers/citizens/normal people are somewhat dissatisfied with the status quo, and so some public-interest people start pushing through a big change to benefit humanity at the slight expense of entrenched interests. Lobbyists for entrenched interests aren't stupid; they know you don't step in front of a speeding train. Instead, they flip all the right switches (i.e. they pay massive bribes) to direct the train along the tracks they prefer. "Oh, we're going to have competition in wired telecommunications, are we? Yes, let's pretend that, just for fun..."
Absolutely.

Short of not allowing people to install arbitrary software on Windows (which is what Apple does with iOS and tech people are usually upset about that) what would the CEO of Microsoft do in that regard?

The same thing happened to my grandma and my response was to remove her admin account and only let her log in as an unprivileged account. Microsoft already gives you to the tools to stop these kinds of attacks.
Every once in a while I see this article, and every once in a while I fear that junior programmers are going to read it as if it is at all accurate.

This is a great article that represents the fundamental problem of OOP - that developers don't actually use it.

Instead, we have a lot of procedural programmers writing code that masquerades itself as "object oriented", when in reality it's imperative functional decomposition that we're calling OOP because we don't know any better.

This position is unpopular because Facebook is a platform for manipulating many people at least effort. Highly insecure, naive, and gullible people vote. People that want to feel like they belong to anything completely superficial still vote. People that cannot form an original opinion still vote.

In a strictly laissez-faire sense platforms like this become amplified beacons for a few manipulators. It’s not the fault of the platform but rather many people seeking emotional comfort in opposition to actual solutions and confusing one for the other at very low effort. I find that rather anti-libertarian, which is a democracy eating itself. I much more preferred the world where if people wanted to congregate into group thought they had to put real physical effort into it.
