That’s a backhanded shout out if I have ever seen one.

... although I think it’s probably accurate.
But you have to click the tweet to see the thread anyway. What's the difference between clicking through to the thread, and clicking through to open the article in the embedded webview? Either way, you're stuck synchronously looking at the story until you click "Back."

If it's just a matter of journalistic style, I assume there are people out there who write articles the same content-dense way people write tweetstorms; you could just decide to only follow such people.
Betteridge's "Law of Headlines" suggests this headline was written in the form of a question in order to answer it in the negative:

> "Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word 'no.' The reason why journalists use that style of headline is that they know the story is probably bullshit, and don’t actually have the sources and facts to back it up, but still want to run it."[a]

They'd behave more like doctors who order hugely expensive tests, procedures, and medicine they know patients don't need for the purpose of indemnity. They'd never admit to mistakes which could be used against them in the court of law. Frivolous lawsuits would abound, and doubly so when successful suits impugn the integrity of officers' statements in criminal court (even after the fact). The policy holders would settle to save money because court is more expensive on average. In other words, we'd expect them to stop policing in general.
It’s less fine when the electorate consistently delivers a mandate to brutalize a minority population, or just isn’t paying enough attention to such down-ticket races to care.
I have requested permission, and it was denied.

You have to "demonstrate the need" and "be trusted not to abuse".

> Editors who may reasonably request an exemption include users who show they can contribute to the encyclopedia, and existing users with a history of valid non-disruptive contribution.

So, "a Wikipedia account and an email address", as you write, is not enough.

One answer is that: police don't do what you think they do, police are not effective at what you imagine their job to be, and police are not trusted to be effective (so much crime goes unreported):

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/03/01/most-violen...

Consider also that as you observe, even with the existence of policing as we know it, all manner of violent and property crime still exists.
True, but a couple github imports and 10 lines of code generates a 100mb binary. But, to be fair, I guess we're okay with shipping huge binaries now a days because we're literally shipping whole environments with docker anyway.
If you hired me to implement a great idea but you were miserable to work for, I’d definitely consider quitting to do it on my own. I’d expect the exact same from you, it’s an important reason to take extra care in how we lead employees.

And there isn’t any such thing as cookie cutter companies, at least not successful ones. When you start second you need to do something important better, or you can never catch up.

Apple is famous for being second to market with the same idea, but with a lot more thought and polish put into how it works.
So what is the latency on seL4 then for a similar program? And how well is the performance under real-world desktop conditions compared to Linux, macOS, Windows, etc? I read through that PDF and it doesn't really contain concrete answers to that.
Was it low traffic or low sales traffic? Helpdesk traffic is unlikely to drive much in terms of immediate sales, but establishing a good helpdesk that can be trusted is very key to trust in the brand. And helpdesk is usually a get in, drop your laptop off, get out and pick it up later type of thing.

It's not like cops can pull you over for simple possession of weed in your glove box. They pull people over for a traffic infraction and then find the weed, illegal gun, etc.
most companies in YC have technical founders who build the products still.
My insight into Sprig's business was limited, but my impression from being in the industry at the time and knowing several of their vendors and folks working for them in operations was that they were a typical Bay Area startup operating in an industry they understood poorly, without much interest in learning it from people who had made it their lifeblood for generations. You won't get far in the food industry if you don't appreciate that relationships are everything -- you can't treat vendors like APIs that hand you some resource, while building a reputation for low pay among the people making and delivering your food.

Good relationships with your vendors are how you earn pricing to support good margins even at "low" scale (compared to say Kroger) and unlock doors that will take you to 10x and higher. Good relationships with your employees is how you make people in the industry want to see you succeed -- no one wants to see yet another player show up in their industry driving down wages (allegedly in the name of efficiency while wasting orders of magnitude more food than your typical corner market with approximately the same revenue). And while none of this will get you all the way there when it comes to city government, it certainly doesn't hurt.
Thanks! So between 10 & 20% are in for drugs -- the lower figure if I try to exclude trafficking (although roughly, as they don't always break it down). And this means "in for nothing harder than drugs" since they are counting by the worst conviction.
> Basically, with 3D printers and solar power and local grids and machine shops to fabricate for local needs

None of those could exist without the significant science and R&D which is only possible as a product of people leaving their personal areas to congregate in cities and colleges where information is shared and built upon. Along with a lot of money coming from the government and big companies. And the issue with that is when people leave for that purpose, many of them tend to leave forever to stay there.
> Do you know why i ignored it? Like, when im with other adults, the tone is much harsher sometimes, especially when we are drunk. So you need to have the skin for that, which is generally a useful trait in life. So i assumed your argument featuring a fragile cis man was due to a lack of social experience.

Generally speaking, 'having thick skin' doesn't give you carte blanche to be an asshole to someone else. If you're an asshole to a coworker and you tell them to get thicker skin, you're likely going to be fired at worst if not reprimanded. That has nothing to do with fragility, that has to do with people not wanting to associate with you. As an aside: Having 'thick skin' means effectively not standing up for yourself when someone's being a dick which is generally a not useful trait in life. There's a balancing act between being getting angry at the drop of a pin and letting someone abuse you.

> Did i stereotype an entire group? I explicitly stated that i have problems with a specific behaviour from a part of a group, and explicitly told that parts of the group don't exhibit this behaviour. You ignored that.

Yes you did.

> I don't wish to work with self-identified transgender people due to this anymore. They take everything so personal even if its not about them.

Is stereotyping. Replace 'transgender' with 'black' and you'd be racist instead of transphobic.

> I said that i was leaving communities due to this behaviour. I'm the one leaving, not the transgender people. I'm, at most, ostracizing myself.

Usually I find when people say this, they don't actually leave the community. They're usually chasing off other users, often causing other drama in their wake.

> And then you come and go accuse me of arguing in bad faith. Seriously. You are just looking for something to get offended about.

Because you are arguing in bad faith. The fact that you choose to think that I'm 'looking for something to get offended about' just further proves my point.
There is no real evidence that the Russian campaign on Facebook was effective at all in 2016. I believe the entire campaign wasn't necessarily to effect the outcome, but to sow doubt on the outcome. Putin just wanted chaos. The real poll shift came when Comey made his statement on the Clinton email server within weeks of the election.

I'm 100% in favor of Facebook policing things like the "Plandemic" nonsense, but that's not what these companies are asking for. They are essentially asking for a partisan tilt to the platform...when the platform itself (imo) should strive to be a neutral party.
You say "delete", but are you actually overwriting the task executable with garbage, unlinking it, then creating a folder named "stupidshit.exe" (or whatever the executable was called) so that re-creating it will fail, or just removing it from a list?

Haven't really been a console person for a long while... That said, I pretty much favor big-box stores for a few different items namely game consoles, televisions and monitors. It's likely just my own anecdotal bias here, but I've had more of these die in the first month of use than any other electronics, and having a place I can go to "now" to get it replaced is usually a huge deal.

When the first X-box came out, the first one died within an hour of use... the second in about two days, the third is still running (or was last time I looked at it). 1/3 of TVs or Monitors I've mail ordered have been doa or didn't make it a month.

In the end, I really do hope some of them survive as there's something to be said for not mail order. Costco is usually really decent, and Best Buy is sometimes really frustrating, but I like having some options even if I don't like buying in person and would prefer mail order.
You're not wrong, but the US currently has a problem getting legislators to write laws that are effective.

Also doing this nationwide would require up to 18,000 different jurisdictions to write similar laws and change other law to homogenize the laws they already have. Police unions are extremely effective at watching legislators when they propose bills and have strong lobbying efforts (combination or money for election campaigns, money against election campaigns, public relations, and the ability to threaten strikes which scares citizens into pressuring politicians to back off their positions).

In short, there's a reason that we look to money to solve part of this problem and that's because it's far more likely that money will solve it in the US political system than good thoughtful legislation despite the pressure of 1.1 million law enforcement officers (and their families and their "blue line supporters" and their social media campaigns).

While that's true, it's rare that a YC company at the founding stage is so unique that only the founders can do it. It's not about the simplicity but rather the fact that the founders are basically putting in unpaid labor that provides the moat, because for someone who wants to clone your business, they need to be convinced first that it's worth investing in.

The founders are convinced, and hence are the ones doing the free work.

Oh gosh that was a good one.
From the beginning, YC was opposed to the incubator model, which that idea would be more aligned with. Even having startups share offices was never something they were interested in. That was partly because they had no interest in managing offices, or managing at all (or offices, for that matter). But there were deeper reasons: the sense that great startups develop in environments of their own creation, a suspicion of scenesterism, and ultimately the fact that they wouldn't have liked to work that way themselves. They strongly approved of saving money, but were more the kind of people who would work out of an apartment (as Viaweb indeed had). The incubator model comes more out of a business-managerial way of thinking. Words like 'synergy' come to mind.
I agree, all of the "do it all" database tools have always hurt in the long term in every system I've worked on that uses them (TypeOrm, Prisma, etc..)

From what I can tell it is always better to just learn and understand the database you are using and create it by hand. You may spend a tiny bit longer with basic crud boiler plate, but it will benefit you greatly in the long term to just have solid native migrations setup. And a framework that simply works with your database schema, rather than having an opinion forced on your database.

In Prisma, Typeorm, etc you are a slave to what the ORM wants the database to look like. Tools like Objection, jOOQ, etc are all much easier to work with in the long term and allow you to tune your database by hand and without random framework constraints.

Prisma is great if you plan on never maintaining past your MVP, so I guess it makes sense that startups use it and get stuff out the door quickly, but I don't find it as a long term solution or for it to ever be able to handle complicated situations that _will happen_ to your database in the future.

Apple is really setting the tone.
Several cities in the United States have implemented municipal fiber. There are a few different models [1] but my favorite is "open access", where the city owns the fiber and allows many providers to use it. (See more here [2].)

UTOPIA, a consortium of cities in Utah, operates under an open access model. You pay a $30 fee to the city for the line and then choose from 12 different ISPs [3]. A symmetrical 1Gbps plan is around $50, so $80 total. You can even get a 10Gbps plan for $200. If you're having problems with the ISP you're using, you just go online and change it.

House Democrats just proposed $100B to fund last mile fiber. The bill includes thinks like a "Dig Once" provision and supersedes state laws against municipal fiber.

There is the related story of "Amundsen vs Scott" race to the South Pole.

Amundsen had studied human behavior and efficiency under stress. He knew a constant pace every day was way more efficient than doing epic effort. So he will restraint his people and not let them do more than a given distance each day, I think it was 30 miles or so.

This gave his team an edge against constant epic efforts on Scott part.

A week off is probably too long. What I do, because I can, is taking days off just when I consider I need it. This day or days off is a day you enjoy life and after them you feel plentiful and strong.

Much better than wasting the day being forced to work and generating very little work and burning yourself off.

I actually measure the actual time I do meaningful work so I know exactly how better it works.
The Block Club is a local non-profit news organization, it seems a bit disingenuous to delegitimize them by calling them a "blog with a pretty transparent agenda".

The fact that the mayor is black and lesbian has little to do with the disproportionate enforcement of crimes and bringing up her race/sexual orientation is a poor way of denying the legitimacy of the claims made by Chance AND local news sources.

Your last point seems to be the only real argument made but the majority of arrests have more to do with petty and drug related offenses as opposed to firearms according to the U.S. DoJ.

I think it really sucks when you try to do good by everyone (community, business owners, ordinary citizens) and encounter so much friction. I think I can understand the author's point of view. Many areas seem to have dismal internet access in the US (I live in Canada).

However it seems to be a much better outcome for all compared to the 'wild-west-shoot-from-the-hip' method where anyone digs anywhere with minimal regulation and oversight.

Not having an infrastructure and building it slowly is better in my opinion than degrading public infrastructure and then having citizen foot the bill to clean up the mess left by some fast and loose startups.

I mention this in this particular context of building and transforming physical installations who affect the general public.
I think rather than saying “well, MOST people aren’t that racist”, we would do well to recognize that bias exists in everyone and simply build systems to detect when it affects job performance, proactively, rather than retroactively reacting to reporter/demonstrated bad behavior.

Police in the US have failed to hold themselves to a higher standard, therefore a better system that understands that police officers are humans like anyone else (and likely to fail to be unbiased like anyone else) would be a welcome replacement.

It’s absolutely going to happen, everything from microaggressions and profiling, all the way up to lynching (all of which we’ve seen in HD video many times in the last quarter). The current “just get rid of the bad ones” approach is plainly insufficient.
Yeah, well, that's a nonsense comparison: the neanderthal package is freaking lapack (in C++), and they used a java trick to get Clojure fast on it (basically run the C++ on allocated unmanaged memory blobs, which is the only marginally sane thing one can do in a language like Clojure). I wrote an early version of this in Clojure before throwing my hands up at the atrocity of doing this sort of thing. They also wash over very obvious (to anyone who knows how a computer works) issues with using Cuda and Clojure numerics in general. Misleading and Fail statements.

If the whole book is filled with such chirpy and wrong assertions, they should fall on their swords for offending their numeric linear algebra forefathers and the shame of it all.

You'll need a domain, and getting one anonymously is another issue roughly on par with getting an anonymous email account. In fact the domain provider is pretty much always going to ask you for an email account and a form of payment. The whole point of this exercise is to avoid having your nation's secret police kidnap and kill you because you posted the list of details about how the leaders are stealing from the people and killing dissidents.
I feel that this was missed so I'm reiterating.

>> But of course "abolish the police" means a lot of different things to different people. I'm sure there are people that want literally no police but I'm also sure they are a minority.

I'm under the opinion that you actually __AGREE__ with me considering

If we presume "fringe" and "minority" hold similar meanings here.

> that's the power of language, some folks really do mean abolish the police, while some simply use such language with a somewhat 'hyperbolic' or satirical meaning.

This is what I'm driving at, except I want to change it up a bit

> that's the power of language, a few folks really do mean abolish the police, while most simply use such language with a somewhat 'hyperbolic' or satirical meaning.

We're discussing the power of language, so I think the distinction here is important. The fact that we're having this conversation was kinda my point. We're arguing over what people mean instead of arguing over what should be done. We're letting fringe/minority voices represent the majority opinions. This distracts us from the nuances and complicated discussions that we need to be having. I am claiming that the way these topics are being represented is itself a major issue, because of the power of language. We are being primed to view others opinions in ways that do not represent them. All that causes us to do is fight and never have the true discussion.

You can always find someone that has "X" position. The problem is that when you represent group "Y" with position "X" when "Y" doesn't hold that position. It is a problem that we have to discuss this before we discuss what needs to be done. I personally am deeply frustrated by this.

So I will ask: "What led to you responding to me in this way? What part was I unclear about?" Because to me it is clear, but given your response it is apparent that I wasn't.

EDIT: To the downvoters, I am honestly trying to get feedback into how I can better convey the message. Would you mind also leaving a comment along with the downvote? That way I can understand?
