Your conclusion makes no sense. I live Porto Alegre, city where this lightning was measured.

We always had this kind of phenomena, always a great spectacle. Lighting strikes a lot more here because of combination of factors: Relative flat terrain, no hills, and proximity with the ocean.

It's not just putting them under watch. It's putting them under watch while also using the same database to screen job applicants.

Pushing someone out of the legal economy and watching closely has an almost guaranteed outcome. Doing those two things simultaneously is functionally equivalent to either a) starving them to death or b) precrime.

Our knowledge of crime rates doesn't come form arrest records, but rather victims surveys. Yes, we know that certain neighborhoods/populations have higher rates of crime and not just arrests.

I will look into the download issue. But i think it might be caused by the actual size you want to extract the images from. Currently the whole download may fail if one image fails to download.

Adding an option to show the actual source of the image, might be a good idea. I will look into this.

About the 404 issue: Currently every image that fails to load in the browser or is smaller than one pixel automatically gets removed. I will add an option later to disable this behaviour.

Again, no one's talking about holding platforms liable or establishing "Ministries of Truth". Maybe take it down a notch?

What I would like is for Facebook to gatekeep "news" posted on its platform. Traditional media does this, it's called "the editorial process" and is--while not perfect--super effective. I'm not saying you can't post life updates or hot takes, but I am saying they shouldn't be mixed with news that's been through the editorial process and held to journalistic standards by professionals.

I would also like people who run ads libeling people to be subject to civil lawsuits, and for that Facebook would need PII for people who run advertisements. I don't know if they already have it; if they do great. They then need to make it available when a court asks for it.
>"Part of the reason it's hard to grow an establish blog (or at least, it "seems" hard), comes down to the numbers.

When your tiny, little seedling of a blog gets 50 pageviews per month, then the next month gets 250, it feels amazing!

You just grew by a factor of 500%!

But when your site has dozens or maybe hundreds of articles, and gets tens or hundreds of thousands of pageviews per month (and makes good money), it's REALLY hard to see that kind of growth.

If you're able to add 200 extra pageviews in a month to that kind of blog, you'll barely feel it — an increase of maybe a quarter of a percent?

While it's still technically growth, it'll be relatively invisible in your data and it'll feel like you've completely stalled."
One of my secret fantasies is an "Uber for ISPs". That is where someone ignores all the laws, rules, and regulations, and just builds a fiber ISP without anyone's permission. String fiber in through people's windows. Instead of burying them, put them in those temporary cable trenches (that you see all the time for construction or film crews), or run them beside sidewalks and cover them with cement. Hell, maybe a really sticky piece of duct tape is enough.

It would be totally illegal and you'd probably go to prison forever if you started a company to do it. And annoying people with scissors would be cutting them every day (not to mention glass-eating wasps! a real thing!).

But I'd pay for it.
In San Francisco, everyone along streets with underground utilities are denied fiber due to Public Works disallowing microtrenching.

Additionally, AT&T has not upgraded their lines in these areas, so we're stuck with Comcast or DSL...

AI amplifies human biases. If a few racist cops decide to target a black neighborhood, and "find" a bunch of crimes, that data gets fed into the system. The system then spits out that neighborhood as high risk and assigns extra patrols there.

Those patrols feel the need to justify spending all that time out there, so then they "find" crimes too. And then it just reinforces that data that that is a high risk neighborhood, making the whole thing worse.

The entire system is built on decades of bad data. Step one is cleaning up the data and/or starting over.

Any sort of bias present in the training data will be replicated in the model. If the police are biased in whom they target, that group will naturally show a higher crime rate. Which would easily be picked up in any sort of statistical model. Leading to a biased model.
LA pops up in many places. For me, I've tried reading enough books and papers over time which assumed I knew what a basis or a singular matrix or SVD is that I decided to just jump in and learn this stuff. I went through Strang (took me perhaps 100-200 hours of study) and I'm very glad I did it.

A rapid shift from a toilet paper supply chain optimized for workplaces and retail to a sudden spike in demand on the home-focused supply chain caused the shortage.

If cars are being broken into on a specific block at a rate higher than average for a precinct are you suggesting that it is 'bias' to focus resources onto that block?

Or are you referring to places where formerly charged/convicted persons live/hang out? Here I'd agree, punishment should end at the end of the sentence/fine and people deserve the benefit of the doubt/presumption of non-recidivism.

I'd also posit that many problematic areas are areas of a specific race and caution that a policy of under-policing these areas to avoid appearing racist will be disastrous to public safety and order.

Most of the policies like this are set at the state and local levels. You absolutely can make a difference at this level by showing up.

If cost of living is so high, I wonder why they wouldn't invest in a dorm-like living space for founders? I'm not familiar with the area, so I imagine there's reasons for it, but being able to focus on work instead of life-maintenance details seems like it would benefit the organization.
Here is a post-George Floyd poll: https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/86ijosd7cy/20200611_yahoo_race_p...

A plurality of African Americans (38-31) oppose cutting police budgets. African Americans are split 50-50 in whether we need more or fewer police on the streets. A supermajority (64-33) believe that the current police departments can be reformed.

A majority (51-17) support spending less on police and increasing funding for social programs, but try to reconcile this with the statistic above, where half want more police on the streets. (People might perceive this question as reduced budgets would hit management, etc., rather than beat cops).
> Microsoft decided to sit back

Weak take. Microsoft was very active with numerous mobile offerings -- Pen Computing, Windows Mobile, Tablet and Embedded Windows. You can debate why they ultimately failed -- too early, insufficient hardware, too Windows-centric -- but @billg was never content just "collecting rent" and not innovating, especially in mobile, internet, and connectivity.

Your bias is obvious when you describe MSFT as "collecting rent" (negative connotation) and AAPL as "rewarded with profits" (positive).

You’ve gotta admit, their high speed rail network is very impressive. And it all runs on electricity.

Granted, most of the current electrical production comes from coal I think. At least until they can phase that out for natural gas, solar, and nuclear.

And 10 years ago, the western media was a laughing at China, and declaring that their high speed rail network was a commercial failure, because most Chinese people couldn’t afford the expensive train tickets.

But then, fast forward to today, and their high speed trains are running at maximum capacity. At least before the virus. They cannot run anymore trains, because of clearance requirements, so they are building newer dedicated tracks.

The median Chinese person’s income had increased in the past few years, that more of them can afford the travel and vacations, and can pay for a high speed rail ticket.

And the interesting thing, is that the newer dedicated tracks will run on the even faster maglev technology, that they indigenously developed, which can run almost as fast as an airplane.

This new maglev technology was not stolen from Japan or Germany, or gasp, the United States. Unless they have a time machine too, and stole it from future American technology. LOL.

The other interesting development is that they built a low speed maglev intracity rail to move people around. But this doesn’t get as much attention as the faster trains.

Pretty interesting developments.

Could you expand on this point
If crime being caught by a drive-by patrol is a significant way in which crime is being caught, to me that screams "victimless crimes". I break victimless laws all the time, sometimes with my police officer friends and neighbors present, sometimes on private property miles from any public roads. I never seem to get busted for it. So if 10-block patrols of "troubled areas" really saw an increase in enforcement action, then combined with the fact that America has disproportionately bad imprisonment and recidivism rates, it sounds like you're describing exactly what systemic discrimination is.

You live in a bad neighborhood, so you're more likely to get caught for something, now you're on parole, now anywhere you live is a "bad neighborhood" requiring more patrols, more likely to get caught for something. Meanwhile I can live in my entirely white suburb smoking weed and my life doesn't change.

I believe the most common terminology for this is "layout shift": https://web.dev/cls/

It is more specifically about parts of the UI moving rather than disappearing and being replaced with something else. But the idea is the same.
It really depends on which field, and who you ask.

The biggest problem is that a lot of the "decolonize" crowd intersects with post-modernists - and the latter, rather than providing more perspectives on facts, seek to push the idea that perspectives should replace facts (since facts are "not really a thing"). From there, it quickly descends into "mathematx" [1], "feminist glaciology" [2] etc.

I don't see where Pop!_OS is a selling point when compared with mainstream Linux distros.

If all you want is a cheap Clevo then you can get the same end result for much less.
> On average, dynamically linked executables use only 4.6% of the symbols on offer from their dependencies.

That's correct, but also very misleading and leads to the wrong conclusion.

The dynamically linked library has references to itself, externally visible or not.
It would be wrong to claim that Application.run(); only uses a single symbol of a library.

> A good linker will remove unused symbols.

With LTO or -f{function,data}-secions + --gc-sections any linker will do. Without those options no linker is allowed to. I believe that this the reason why static libraries are usually shipped as separate object files (.o) within ar archives (.a), as those were only linked in on demand.

Don't worry much about Brexit, I was quite worried about it myself and I lost the chance to buy a house at a cheaper price. Brexit is turning out to be quite positive for the UK, and the media claims that the companies will move out is backfiring and they are moving into the UK now.

I have lived in SF / Boston / London / Portland, and I think London has the bits of all. Comparing to the west coast, London has equal or better food culture, similar political vibe but much more diverse yet localized within the city, the hustle and bustle of living in a true city, the architectural beauty and most importantly quite nicely located with accessible sites of natural beauty within the UK and Europe.

I think the only thing that is negative about London vs SF is the weather :-/ Also, it's not a very friendly place to move at the start of your career, quite closed for newbies and an old boys club so that's a caveat.

for a name on your resume is not my idea of creativity

Yeah, jeez, it was actually kind of a bummer to read that in the article. That seems kind of soul-crushing!

It's always sort of been that way in "the biz" though, from what I've been able to discern, though I never realized it was quite so impersonal at times. You have joke writers who churn out tons and tons of stuff for comedians, editors, etc. who sort of mine that output for ideas. I remember reading about how David Letterman's Top 10 lists were produced and I think the writers blasted out like 200+ ideas a night for those lists, just so they could narrow it down to 10.

But I always thought there was some kind of ping-ponging of ideas, like you said. To me that's how comedy ideas have always developed, in my personal never-actually-done-this-for-a-living experience.
The end goal is goal is different:

- Prisma is supposed to use as an ORM and not to be publicly exposed (although you can if you want)

- Postgraphile is a way to create an API using only your DB schema as reference. There are some tricks here and there, but you would need to do dig quite deep in SQL.

I tried postraphile and is quite cool for quick prototypes. Once you need something more custom, it gets tricky and weird (it is doable though). I haven’t tried Prisma in prod because, at the end, I am pretty happy with sqlc in Golang (code generator based on SQL queries).

Regardless what the management’s strategy is, you have to clap.
The "last mile" (couple KM) of physical infrastructure should be owned by the people.

This is the way that it works best for walkways, roads, and even utilities like power and water where (at least I've only ever seen) one single option exists and is highly regulated. In the case of power that's true for 'transmission' but there have been times I've had options for generation.

IMO laws like the ones in Washington State that were put in place by entrenched and abusive commercial monopolies (like the cable companies and telephone companies) harm competition, by restricting existing and new utilities from partnering with the people to create these last mile platforms, and allow competition on top of them. Just as how there is competition in package delivery service on top of the roadways.

I just don't see how anyone could realistically look at all the lines of code that any nontrivial JavaScript app relies on in any depth.

I'm sure most people don't review the code for their operating system, drivers, web server, compiler, browser etc. but they do assess if the entities that write + support them are worth trusting. This is likely the only realistic approach for complex JavaScript apps also.

Yes. The "feed" concept makes sense for my email workflow. I get a few (2-5) important emails that I need to respond to every day, and tens of newsletters that I may read if they pique my interest.

Gmail has "tabs" or whatever they are called which automatically aggregate your emails into different panes. The automatic part didn't work well for me. I'd often find important emails in my "Social" tab, which led to me checking all tabs to make sure the machine learning didn't incorrectly categorize an email.

Hey gives me control over that, and it has been fantastic for the 11 days that I've had an account.

There are other features I love, but the feed has made the biggest impact so far.
