> As a black person, I find this to be pretty racist. The idea that this will appease blacks or is wanted by us is deeply insulting.

White-dominated society deciding to stop casually reinforcing racist ideology and trying to figure out how to do that isn't about appeasing blacks or appealing to them on the level of atomic steps (I suppose the end goal of a society with less pervasive racism is something that probably appeals to most blacks—it certainly does to me personally, but I wasn't elected to speak for the whole race.)

> How disconnected from black experience can you be that you think this is important or desirable?

I think it's pretty racist for you to declare that my experience must not be black enough, as I find it not terribly important in and of itself or, out of context, desirable, but a part of a direction which is both important and desirable.

> It trivializes our very important concerns about police brutality and systematic racism.

I disagree that it does, and I think claiming that it does requires adopting a fallacious line of thought of the pattern “Doing X at all implies that doing X is all that is necessary or desirable”. Were I to adopt such a pattern, I would say that this:

> Do you want to fight against slavery? Then lets campaign to abolish the exception in the 13th amendment.

...likewise trivializes our very important concerns about police brutality and systematic racism, because while historically centrally important in the formation of racist structures in our modern society and economy, actual de jure penal involuntary servitude in the hole created by the 13th Amendment exception is a small and decreasing part of that in the present.

But that's silly, because attacking the 13th Amendment hole doesn't mean not attacking all the other problems.
> The right comparison is how easy it is to get around the US using private transit like Uber.

In my experience (Santa Ana, El Salvador), it's still not even close. The bus routes are smart and frequent, the city is eminently walk-able, and you can always just hop in a Bajaj rickshaw ("tuctuc") if you need to go somewhere far off a route. You'd never pay more than 50 cents for any trip in town.

Uber can be extremely slow (I've waited up to an hour and often around half an hour for trips in some big US cities). It's also absurdly expensive, and it seems that the more expensive it is the slower it will probably be (cities with low driver counts).
Depending on your company culture, this may be difficult to do, but I've seen good luck with moving toward a model where the product team doesn't push things into developers' to-do lists. The product folks supply a strictly prioritized wish list, and developers pull from it. Always one thing at a time, always the very first thing on the list.

It's the only way I've seen to get the product people to shift their thinking from, "What's a giant list of all the things we wish we could build?" to, "What is thing we actually need to build next?" And, without that change in thinking, the natural impulse is going to be to try and pack more features into the product using a close analogue to the technique that farmers use to produce foie gras.

You may have to be willing to sit back and let them drop the ball and get burned for it a few times. If they're pure business folks with little customer support experience, they might never personally understand how fixing a bug can be more valuable to the business than building a new feature, if you don't give them a chance to talk to a user who's irate about some piece of deferred maintenance.

Surprisingly, that's not always the case. Particularly with higher dollar sports cars, which might commonly be driven only for pleasure and with limited mileage.
Well, one point is that police here aren't in fact sworn to protect members of the populace. The case law in federal court is that the police don't owe any individual a specific duty to protect them, and that "protect and serve" is a toothless slogan with no basis in law.

I bought a Nokia 6.1 around 2 years ago, which is part of the Android One program and it worked well! Had all security monthly updates, the system is clean and stable, updated to major versions of Android smoothly without any issue.

If I can, I will buy another Android One phone. There is an horror story about an Android One Xiaomi phone, but Nokia delivered the promise with the 6.1, according to my experience
That's not true with PWAs. You can have PWAs that operate offline. The problem is that not enough web developers know how to build good offline-only PWAs. But trust me, they're coming!

This is the key point - even if all these claims are true, they don’t add up to any coherent argument about the substance of climate change.

At best they seem to be arguing against some cultural sub-trends, such as those who argue for “organic farming” or are “anti-nuclear”, or those who make some mistakes such as overestimating the contribution of the Amazon to global oxygen production.

Perhaps some of the more breathless claims are overstated, but none of that materially changes the climate change argument.

I wonder what he is trying to achieve.
Well, I'm more concerned about my platform being subject to the control of my own government. Because I don't care very much about foreign governments given I happen to be a western citizen that has nothing to do with that countries. But what about ours, do you think our government is better than theirs? For how long?

> NOBODY wants to be a software maintainer.

I think everybody wants it on their resume, but the practical day to day work tends to be more filtering poorly written GitHub issues than writing any interesting code. For a job that doesn't pay much (often at all), that's not something I would want to spend my time doing.

I believe there's a "broad scientific consensus" that the climate isn't staying exactly the same and human's effect on it is existent, but could someone please cite a source claiming there's "broad scientific consensus" that it "would have massive impacts on human civilization"?

Edit: Here's an oldish article: "Climate Scientists Agree on Warming, Disagree on Dangers, and Don’t Trust the Media’s Coverage of Climate Change" https://web.archive.org/web/20100111104946/http://stats.org/...

Edit 2: "In 2007, Harris Interactive surveyed 489 randomly selected members of either the American Meteorological Society or the American Geophysical Union for the Statistical Assessment Service (STATS) at George Mason University. 97% of the scientists surveyed agreed that global temperatures had increased during the past 100 years; 84% said they personally believed human-induced warming was occurring, and 74% agreed that "currently available scientific evidence" substantiated its occurrence. Catastrophic effects in 50–100 years would likely be observed according to 41%, while 44% thought the effects would be moderate and about 13 percent saw relatively little danger. 5% said they thought human activity did not contribute to greenhouse warming."

This largely misses the point about the War on Drugs. It wasn't a reaction to the nation's morality slipping, it was a concerted effort to imprison Black men. Drug use is highly tied to unemployment and lack of income, the drug epidemic largely arose from the decades of redlining and blue collar jobs shifting to the suburbs.
> Honestly I think basically all my gadgets exaggerate how energy efficient they are, by tuning parameters for tests that don't correspond to the real world.

I have to laugh at the author's delight in the informal bus system. At home I'm sure he'd love to shout about the evils of "illegal ride sharing" but in Quito:

"if there is demand for a trip (in the form of overcrowding on buses between points A and B), someone is going to figure it out and capitalize on it."

Imagine that!

The words "regulation" or "law" do not appear anywhere in the article. Why are there no open air appliance markets in the US selling maybe-working gas stoves? Surely not safety or consumer protection laws. No, the obvious explanation is that the owners of capital are wish it to be so.
This is bat-shit insane to me. The public elect the legislature who write the law... the judiciary implement it according to the legislation. They don't any personal opinions to it, that's not their job at all, they don't try to appeal to anyone, they just implement it. Is this not how it works in the US?

In the US could a town elect a judge who says they're going to convict everyone who's left-handed?
One you start wanting to run complex things over multiple interpreters in Lua (say, to use multiple threads) you might as well just use guile.

Sure, we are talking 2.5mb of library and about the same amount object code. Quite a bit larger than Lua. But that also gives you object code for working with texinfo (and quite a lot of completely unused, undocumented modules). I wonder how much could be stripped without anyone actually boticing
Ask HN: Where do you get App logos designed?
I've been heavily considering 99 Designs to get a logo made for the app I'm hoping to launch in the next few months. I need something that I can own that looks good as an icon and in an app, etc. I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount. Most of the examples I've seen there however aren't like this, they are for a variety of other businesses. They've also scared me with the upsell language where I have to commit and can't get a refund if I'm dissatisfied, and unless I got closer to $1,000 I'm not likely to get any good designers to submit.

Anyway, where have people that have made an app gotten their logos? Any experience with the 99 Designs Bronze plan? Is there a better place to go for an app icon?
Wait! Are we becoming less immune with this isolation :o
Title is misleading, imo - this is just a list of the symbols used to describe set operations, there's no set theory discussed here.

Is there a reason why they can't be disbarred upon conviction, and then reinstated if the appeal goes through? After all, it's not like you can avoid prison time while your conviction goes through the appeal process.

NHTSA has a fairly good repository of research, although it doesn't cover everything you're looking for [1]. It's been a while since I reviewed the statistics, but I recall that highways are significantly safer than high-speed undivided "surface streets". Intersections, and specifically left turns at them are also more dangerous than other road areas. There is also some scattered research like [2] on related topics, for example showing that overtaking accounts for relatively few total accidents, but has an outsized percentage of fatalities (as you would expect due to the collision dynamics).

There are a lot of potential words that those words could appear offensive in combination with. Looking through the current word list (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/e-neuman/madhash/master/pu...), a couple that come to mind are "power", "dominance", "curse", "immigration", "perfection", and "intelligence". (Some of those words should probably be removed from the list themselves, but that's besides the point.)

TBH, I don't think the approach of picking words randomly from a dictionary is appropriate here. Not only does it have a tendency to leave in words which could cause offense, but it can also end up picking uncommon words which are hard to remember (like majdanek, szold, or palazzo) and groups of words which could easily be confused (politician and politics; psychiatrist, psychologist, and psychology; supervision and supervisor).
> They should leave them at home if they're a freaking judge!!

You're telling me that Gorsuch doesn't have biases? RBG? Kavanaugh? Roberts? Sotomayor?

All these people interpret the same laws in different ways. If that isn't called bias than I don't know what is. The issue is that there is no objective truth, at least one which can be known. All laws are subject to interpretation. In fact, that is literally why we have judges and juries in the first place. To scrutinize and check interpretation of laws.

Are you telling me there's an objective truth to what "Freedom of Speech" means? What "the right to bare arms" is?
> You can read "Police showed up and fired tear gas and agitated the crowd and caused violence", but you're not told WHY they fired tear gas. You're not given the context as to what happened.

Police have body cameras and vehicle cameras that can provide much of the rest of the context. The public doesn't have access to that video and the police don't release it save when it reinforces their narrative.

If the police were blameless here, they have lots of tools to clear their name.

I'm fine with a broad range of judicial discretion. Human judgement is a necessary part of the judicial system.

I am not fine with someone being sentenced and jailed for a crime they were not found guilty of, which is what you're describing. That's an abuse of power and a deprivation of due process.
Ah, I had forgotten that https://en.arguman.org/ even existed, until reading this.

This dates back to 2014 where Turkey was still struggling with the aftermath of widespread civil unrest. The entire nation found itself highly polarized while debates were fueled with mutual anger and disbelief.

This is an "argument analysis platform", as they call it, and it is open source, too, maintained at https://github.com/arguman/arguman.org .

The basic premise is the construction of an argument map, "arguably" a common utility to practice critical thinking.

More info on that at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_map .
I can certainly echo this sentiment. It is maddening to see Play services as the "culprit" for the bad thing I'm investigating. Very frustrating.
Sure, but there are degrees of offensiveness, and racism is a great deal higher on that totem pole than nationalist stereotypes (archetypes, really) like "Mexican druglord," "Chinese/Russian hacker," and "Nigerian scam," etc.

IMO, if one can't make the point that something shouldn't be said without inaccurately labeling it as racism, then one shouldn't make the point. The only thing they're accomplishing is watering down the negative connotations of racism.
There is ain interesting flaw in: If you price a book above what I'm willing to pay for it, I'm never going to buy it.

Even if this is correct, you might have bought another book that was cheaper.

Case in point: Photoshop. It was pirated by everyone at home. But organizations could not pirate, so when they buy a photo editing package, it will be photoshop, as that what the employees know. If piracy at home was not an option, you'd see much more different photo packages at different price points in the market.

The most efficient decentralized way would be direct end-to-end connections. One could assign an IPv6 address to each application and have the notifications just sent there, no middleman necessary. If an application takes up too much battery, just kill it by changing the address.

That would be a killer app for IPv6 if mobile networks were up to it...
I'm not sure if you are serious but even millions of events recorded in text would not take up too much space. Bioinformatics datasets that run into the millions of lines still only require a few gigabytes, and they are often compressed into tarballs which can halve their size.

Yikes.

I really felt "meh" about YouTube TV when I used it. To make matters worse about a 5th of the things I asked it to record ended up being the wrong thing. No idea how they managed it. All I got back when I reported the incorrect recording was a "whoops, sorry".
The internet is slowly splitting in two. One internet of meticulous curated, corporate approved, advertising safe content. Another full of unsavory parts of unfiltered human expression -- torrents, porn, racism, hate.

Incidental and unintended data leakage.

TikTok is a virally popular video app used globally by a generation of adolescence that have normalized the behavior of recording inane happenings in their life multiple times a day, with an undeveloped sense of propriety and limited ability to fully comprehend the significance of their actions.

Not that I have much of an opinion on TikTok's usage as an intelligence gathering source, I certainly appreciate its potential as one.

My daughters are constantly taking videos all over the place, with little regard to what is in the video beyond themselves. Even though they've been hounded on what is and isn't appropriate to capture in a video, I'm sure they have an under-developed sense of security/concern in that regard, particularly for "private" or deleted videos.

Access to the full corpus of video data uploaded to Tiktok would be a gold mine, least of which would actually be my adolescent daughters. Unrelated conversations picked up in the background, where/when they took the video, compromising/confidential artifacts exposed incidentally in the background, facial recognition on individuals in the video (whether the subject of the video or otherwise), etc. There are an immeasurable number of ways such a rich data source could be mined for signal intelligence.

Note that TikTok is far from the only app that fits this definition. There are plenty of other platforms that create a similarly useful corpus of video data. But anecdotally from my kids and their friends, TikTok is the flavor of the moment. Especially so for those young enough for the above concerns (or lack thereof) to be most valid.
