>"Defund the police and use the money for mental health and human services."

That doesn't address the cancer of gang violence and other violence that police need to deal with constantly.

"Mental health and human services" will not address these problems. Most people committing crime had an opportunity to go to school and participate in legal society. They choose not to.

The future of America is that of a lawless gangland like Mexico if the police are "defunded".

Your argument would be more credible without emotion-base political accusations. If you want to look what a really "over-militarized, violent, racist institution" looks like than look at China. This doesn't even compare.

I think making a blanket statement might be incorrect. I've heard a lot of people who dislike rural areas for their lack of people. That is to say, lack of amenities, entertainment, cultural events, etc that can only be had in a dense area with surplus people.

I'm not sure which reason is the majority, or if there even is a majority.
Here's a case where it took 15 years of court action to get someone off of a parcel of land in Tempe, AZ that was part AZ State land and part City of Tempe. The man claimed his family had been occupying the land since at least 1877 and claimed ownership via adverse possession. If you hit a paywall just search on "tempe squatter".

My understanding is that the spike protein already mutated in the human population, some time in January or early February. Researchers who started work on earlier samples had to start over because the later spike protein version has such superior fitness that it has largely replaced the earlier version in the wild.

So, stability over e.g. a month doesn't guarantee stability over longer terms.
They are shutting down the museum and laying off the staff.

I think he just means some people just spend little time with it, and with whatever reason, maybe it cannot enhance their productivity like their trusty automated scripts or keyboard macro - said aloud that it sucks. Honestly, the most loudest voice against Touchbar is usually us geeky people and not really general users.

I think the touchbar is superb for general non-techie users who are not keyboard shortcut wiz, and there are A LOT of them.

The thing I found sad is the lack of push from Apple, to make it more useful and versatile. It's nearly the same since its inception. People have to rely on 3rd party app, say, BetterTouchTool(which is excellent) to make Touchbar more useful.

It's not a straw man, because I'm not accusing anyone of making a pro-giving-police-recordings-of-bathrooms argument. On the contrary, I'm assuming we all agree that giving police recordings of what we do in the bathroom would be invasive. This is the basis of a further argument.

Ironically, accusing me of making a straw man argument in this case, is a straw man argument. ;)
You think the Chicago PD is lawless? It's the criminals, crime and general lawlessness in Chicago that is causing over 40 people to routinely be shot each weekend in Chicago.

The rampant lies and misrepresentations about police will only cause more crime, deaths and lawlessness as police choose to retire and decent people who may have been considering becoming police will decide to not subject themselves to the constant and unjustified abuse meted out by the public and politicians which police have to endure.

No, they're pushing for free trans surgeries and puberty blockers for kids instead.

It doesn't literally have to be the exact same issue over and over.
I've tried to explain my thoughts on this before, so I'll give it the ol college try again.

I propose that the decentralized anarchistic, freedom of thought nature of the internet has essentially forced an acceleration the timetables for the totalitarian dystopian system.

The internet caught the oligarchs off guard, in the big scheme of things (the oligarchs make plans that their grandchildren execute)... and it took them a bit to catch up, and they now see it as the primary threat to their otherwise nearly total control of the mass consciousness. Think of every medium of communication, and see how it was more or less captured and controlled, whether it be print, radio, or television, and see that although heavily under attack, the internet is still very free, at least at it's core.

This creates a sort of arms race where the oligarchs must corrupt, control and compromise it faster than it can respond in a way that reveals enough of the truth to the masses that they risk some sort of neo-peasants revolt. In that goal they will use their already long tendrils into government and corporate ownership networks et al to accomplish the task. I could get into the nitty gritty, but that's the meta summary.

Surveillance is about control, not about security, but they have gotten very good at the Oxford debate posing that it is. (lamentations about the end of the nation state actor security threat for one)
There are search competitors in non-US markets. The lack of funding begs the question of whether Google's search lead is simply due to no one trying to compete within the last 10 years.

DDG doesn't really qualify here as they aggregate google/bing search results.
This is why direct taxation (16th Amendment) was a mistake. It allows the federal government to take away the citizens' money first, and then give it back to the states, with conditions.

If the federal government had to collect from the states, then there would be more oversight and power for states to say "wait a minute, why are we giving you money and then begging to get it back".

In theory, the result could be the same. Congress could still pass spending bills and give the money over with conditions. But in practice I think states would be in a more powerful negotiating position.
I didn't mind my MBP's touchbar until it randomly stopped working two years in. Now it just sporadically flashes an annoying bar of bright white light, so it's completely covered in electrical tape to block that from view. So, my experience with it has overwhelmingly been negative.
I'd like to see it thoroughly planned out, and a real cost estimate. Most of the trip is plainsland...simple. Getting through the Rockies, way more complicated. I've tried to read on the subject but estimates are an order of magnitude off between projects.

All that said, of course, figuring out how to lower costs safely would be a great thing.
The problem right now is that there are a lot of people who want to (and did) commit violent acts and use black block tactics. They openly encourage lawful protesters to dress homogeneously all clad in black under the pretense of protecting protesters against police but in fact they do so to commit acts of violence and then meld away in the crowd, effectively taking hostage the lawful protesters.

The argument can be made that to protect peaceful assemblies, tools need to be engineered so those rioters can be differentiated from the lawful protesters and bring them to justice.
The reason for that is that the concorde used afterburners (basically, pump fuel into the high speed exhaust for extra thrust) which are incredibly inefficient. Great for a fighter jet where you need a sudden burst of extreme thrust, but not something you want a long-haul airliner to use.

Boom uses turbofan engines to reach supersonic speeds which are much, much more efficient. In fact, many airliners could theoretically go past mach 1. The reason they don't is that the airframe itself doesn't have the correct shape to deal with transonic and supersonic speeds.

I'd expect fuel consumption to be higher than a typical passenger jet but nowhere near concorde levels. Fuel consumption would also depend on the climb profiles of the plane, ideal cruise altitudes, etc. Since the more time you spend in subsonic flight and at lower altitudes the more fuel you burn (more friction and the aerodynamics and engines will be optimized for supersonic flight).
I didn’t mean to suggest we should reach for Click for simple help/manpage display.

I typically see this on remarks involving Apple or Microsoft, less so others. (Not sure about Tesla.)

I suspect that MS employs a mouse army, but the reason is a mystery; my guess is it is just because they can. Apple downvoting appears to be more fanboi driven.

My wife is Japanese.

She trained as a Milliner, and has been desinging and making hats for decades.

She's a damn great milliner. She won 1st prize in The Worshipful Company of Feltmakers of London competition, in the 90's.

She worked for Philip Treacy.

She's been in numerous magazine and newspaper articles.

There is only one problem: no one buys hats these days :/
I’ve often wondered about getting a more wide brimmed hat as I get older, but I find that baseball cap does the job just fine.

For JavaScript, there is excellent js-joda library (same design as NodaTime and Joda-Time), but it's 43 kB minified and compressed, which is... not terrible but also not great, really depends on your use case if it's worth it.

Perhaps a right-of-way issue. Two parcels adjoin but access to one is via a road across the other. Courts would probably uphold the right-of-way access by the back parcel but if not used for some period of time the front lot owner could argue the right-of-way was abandoned and fence the road off.

From most religion point of views suicide is a taboo and a big no since you go straight to hell for that. That is why most of the countries with strong religious affiliation the suicide rate is significantly lower than other less religious countries for examples Korea and Japan.

Fun facts, there is a group of seven young men believed to live between the time of Jesus and Muhammad, so called The Seven Sleepers. They and a single dog, are reportedly slept in a cave for exactly 300 years (309 years adjusted for lunar calendar) as mentioned in the Quran. The interesting part is that this story is not mentioned in the New or Old Testaments due the time it happened. This story famously becomes part of the very difficult questions, created by the Jews of Madinah (old city name Hijaz) to help the non-believers Arabs to challenge Muhammad of his authenticity as one of the prophets sent by God. The story is recalled in one of the Chapters of the Quran, Al-Kahfi (meaning the The Cave).

Benefits absolutely play a role in the jobs people take. I have been offered two jobs with identical salaries, but one had a significant employer contribution to my 401k and stock options. you can guess which job I took.

Likewise, my mother was a teacher and one of the main reasons was the incredible healthcare. She could have gone somewhere else with her 2 masters, but it was worth a ton with a sickly husband. A full salary pension is worth a lot of direct salary compensation too.

I think a bit of masochism is the point. I did it once to fill in all of the gaps and cement all the dependencies when putting together a system. That kind of knowledge helps when you're trying to do server maintenance but try and keep the system up or do crazier things but be fairly confident certain parts won't be affected.

To me whether something is weird is distinct from it being usual or familiar.

It's weird that Americans tend to cheerfully eat cow meat but not horse meat for example. Much of natural language grammar such as the adjective order rules in English - pretty weird ("My old blue hat" is OK but "My blue old hat" is wrong!). The fact that there are five Fermat primes but then no other Fermat numbers seem to be prime is weird.

> the Mohawk have claimed a large chunk of New York

Anyone can claim anything they want.

What is relevant here, and why this case was decided the way it was, is that the federal government and the tribe entered into a legally binding, clear contract.

Lands east of the Mississippi in exchange for a large piece of what is now Oklahoma, in perpetuity.

And Congress never explicitly reneged on that contract. Ergo, it still stands.

Should the Mohawk produce a similarly ironclad agreement regarding New York, they would then have a claim.
We both know the reasons as we both studied it in 9th grade Oklahoma History.

Though I’m not sure that Brad Henry (D) really did much more for those people then anyone more recently (R). To be fair, I’ve not lived there for over a decade. There is quite a bit of grift in that state.

It is certainly not the land they were native to, and that is the important point.
The Rockies are the big obstacle of course, but the stretch east of the Mississippi is also problematic... hard to go around all the towns, and you've also got to cross the Appalachians and/or Alleghenies.
Almost immediately after getting motivated by the parent comment I see this. Reminds me of the few times I released something to HN and other platforms (using another account) and got frustrated because everyone using the existing products wouldn't switch to mine.

I guess programmers usually avoid pitching. That's why they choose the "easy" path - develop something that's never been done before. But it's actually the hardest thing to do.
im guessing if you really need, and can afford, supersonic travel then either it'll be like flying business/first or you'll have top tier ff status with the airline, and queues etc are much less of, or even a non issue.

I'm not particularly well read in economics, and have not read anything that specifically addresses the difficulty of estimating utility. My view is rather derived from my readings on economics and related fields. The material that stands out the most in my mind are:

1. Von Neumann and Morgenstern's book (particular the sections where they develop the notion of utility) is pretty readable - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/483055.Theory_of_Games_a...

2. The Economic Naturalist (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/629238.The_Economic_Natu...). It is a great compilation of economic edge cases which show that the notion of utility is not so easy to capture using the standard "narrowly self-interested economic agents" world view. It requires a lot of subjective interpretation.

3. The Honest Truth about Dishonesty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Honest_Truth_about_Dishone...). Shows how contextually dependent utility (if it is at all quantifiable) can be.

4. The body of work around the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma#The_itera...). In particular we can see how the dynamics of simulations using rational agents diverge from the dynamics of experiments involving actual humans. This suggests that the utility assumptions used in economic analyses do not reflect whatever notion of utility that could actually apply to human behavior.

I'm almost 31 and I said the same thing to myself this weekend.

Ironically coincident with this announcement, I ended up going through LFS and managed to get a kernel compiled using an entirely bootstrapped toolchain.

About halfway through I noticed the development version they're discussing, which is available here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/

I believe this version is likely able to be run-through but please keep in mind it looks like it's been changing every few days!

To the point of other commentators mentioning it can get a little tedious, especially in chapter 6- I think the new revised edition they're working on could help with that somewhat as it looks like avoiding the /tools buildout will help minimize the number of packages that need to get rebuilt.

Yes, it sounds like they're mothballing rather than, say, actively trying to sell off the collection.
