A notable example is the way that gun violence data has been continuously and specifically suppressed by those who oppose gun control in the US (e.g: the Dickey Amendment, which had an extreme chilling effect on the CDC studying gun violence).

Unfortunately, it is common for those with power to see the data as a stick they can be beaten with rather than as a tool to do better.

Of course, an example of the negative potential also comes to mind: recently we got proof of extreme gerrymandering done using racial data. Obviously that isn't to suggest that data shouldn't exist, but more to underline your last point: fundamentally it can only be beneficial if people come to it in good faith.
> bypassing the need to figure out how to obtain consent

How do you propose getting “informed” consent from an audience who doesn’t care and willingly expose everything about themselves and everyone they know to find out which Star Wars character or 80s pop song they are most like? Genuine question, as this doesn’t seem the least bit a solved problem anywhere.

To be more specific, I think it says a lot about the general attitude of people that have grown up under the CCP, and the 'take what you can get or starve' environment they've fostered.

It's seen in other ways like lack of queuing, littering, and the general corruption throughout all levels of bureaucracy.

The attitude is far less pervasive in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, or other countries with significant Chinese populations.

Seems very buggy. I wasn't able to figure out how to drag a box to select multi objects. Tried Alt-drag, and it resized in a weird way I wasn't able to control very well, and then the canvas was stuck to the mouse pointer with no way of letting go of it.
I’d wager they have clauses that prevent them from charging a lower price for direct customers. In which case the restaurant has to charge everyone a higher price. In what world does that benefit anyone but the intermediaries?

It’s the exact same as credit card processing fees. Except that’s 3% and this is 30%

I built an app with Neo4j once. It was a Rails app, built it from scratch in Neo4j.rb. I was hired by business where the owner hadn't coded any apps in 15 years and was obsessed with the theory of the graph database and how it was so much "easier" than using SQL.

Suddenly, every useful gem that allows you to throw together an app in 5 minutes had to be rewritten from the ground up. Things like authentication, pagination, etc. which could be done in 10 minutes in a standard Rails app took days.

The worst part is that I was not permitted to contribute these customs gems back to Open Source. He was a very selfish person who used almost exclusively proprietary software and thought that any of the long hours we spent to rebuild all of these basic puzzle pieces to work with Neo4J would give other people a leg up or advantage - as if competitors out there would decide to build a direct competitor with our identical tech stack and we wanted to slow them down as much as possible... sorry boss, but if they wanted to build a competitor prototype they would just build it with an SQL relational database and have the entire app done in 2 weeks.

About 3 months into the project I mentioned to someone at a technology meetup that I was building in app in Neo4j.rb and he laughed at me. I was drinking the graph koolaid still at the time and tried telling him about the advantages. He told me that as soon as the app was deployed I would see how much extra work I would have in-store for me. To be fair, he was right. Migrations just didn't work the same. Eventually I was discharged from the company because I did not agree with the management's unethical business practices and continue doing shady things and agree with their moral jusitifcations for crimes so the app never actually saw the light of day.

I am sure there are many production apps succeeding with Neo4j, but in the end I just saw a project whose scope was 10x what it should have been. If you have a "slow" app that launches 3 months earlier than your competitor, you still win.

> Why doesn't that reasoning apply to restaurants?

More opaque. The honest approach would be for the menu prices to be the menu prices, and the cost of the delivery should be obvious.
They do not. I address this in my answer:

> They did not decide things like: Do the tribes get the taxes from people living in Tulsa? Do non-natives have to abide by rules of the respective nations? Does the tribal government have the ability to reclaim land through land-for-trust? And so on.
From what I can tell, there's no library to parse the full range of ISO 8601 in Python. The standard string that people claim is "just ISO 8601" ("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ") is not full ISO 8601 compliance.

ECMAScript specifies "simplified extended ISO 8601", which is just that string above.
Ok, thanks. All the northern plains groups do the quantum. I suppose the Cherokee have a pretty scary history so that makes sense. The difference between the two tribes in their statement isn't because of blood, its distance to a major city.
Testing should be an exercise in risk assessment.

If module A is very expensive to fix and has a high probability of failing in production, well of course you want to have it rock solid and should be thoroughly tested.

You could build a priority index, with something like :

priority for testing module A = cost of fixing A x probability A fails

The other problem is getting management onboard and demonstrating a ROI justifying the time spent building these tests and using them. I personally failed at that and still am trying to figure out how to get them to understand the benefits. I've progressed, but it's one heck of an uphill battle for me.
I see you edited to remove the accusation of lying, but you left in "this is obviously and overt nonsense", which is pretty hostile and low value.

Edit: You also added "as opposed to the more charitable interpretation of their error", which is very passive aggressive and elitist.
Wikipedia defines the police as "a constituted body of persons empowered by a state, with the aim to enforce the law, to ensure the safety, health and possessions of citizens, and to prevent crime and civil disorder".

If you are claiming that the police are in fact, "a force which exists to terrorize working class people in order to force them to work for minimum wage" then I think the burden of proof is on you.
Why would you tip the restaurant staff?

While it's bad form to reply to your own post, I might add this is just what a function is in the large, but you're viewing your program this way.

a <- readFromApi ( Input x )

b <- doBusinessLogic(a) ( f(x) )

c <- writeToPersistence(b) ( Output y = f(x) )

You can also imagine that there are more than one lookup from the db or service calls as I/O in different parts of the pipeline (g(f(x) etc.), but it's always possible to have state pulled in explicitly and pushed down explicitly into business logic as an argument. It tends to make programs have flatter call stacks as well.
Functional testing is underrated.

It's a shame that almost no one knows or uses Versant OODBMS (object-oriented database management system).

As the name suggest it's object oriented and queries return graphs of objects.

It's heavily multi-threaded and has been around since 1989 (iirc).

The only big downside (besides being proprietary) is that it's almost impossible to scale out (horizontally). But it scales enormously well vertically (throw resources at it and it will happily use it in a very efficient manner).
The power of political parties has _greatly declined_ in the last 50 years. Do you think perhaps more powerful parties had a longer-term outlook and were more willing to compromise?

Personally I don’t think the decline in Congressional power has a single cause. But the decline of political party power is surely one.

> RediSearch’s ranking is “user provided”

That's completely untrue, it comes with a few scoring algorithms out of the box (https://oss.redislabs.com/redisearch/Scoring/) and results can also be ranked by the value of arbitrary numeric or short text fields. On top of that, there is a plugin API to provide custom scorers written in C/C++.

BTW It's funny though that in the end most of the use of ElasticSearch is for analyzing logs and all the IR scoring tricks are not even used.

I can't speak to hundreds of miles, but I built a Wifi bridge that went about 1.75 miles across a cow pasture with center-pivot sprinklers using a pair of WRT-54G routers, DD-WRT, and some yagi/panel antennas from Amazon about 10 years ago. Total price was under $300 and speeds of 11mb were all we went for as it was just feeding a PC for browsing and time-card punches in a shop across the pasture from the office.

It ran happily for nearly 6 years before being replaced with a packaged kit of antennas and POE injectors that advertised 54mb over 2-3 miles seamlessly for around the same price.

If you had a pile of old 802.11b gear and the time and gumption, I'd think you could build something like this for sub-$50 at this point.

Your statement is just not true. They retracted their study because, in their own words: "Although our data and statistical approach were valid to estimate the question we actually tested (the race of civilians fatally shot by police), given continued misuse of the article (e.g., MacDonald, 2020) we felt the right decision was to retract the article rather than publish further corrections." Source: https://retractionwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/PNAS_...

They want to retract their study because they feel its information is being "misused," which is extremely disturbing in the context of honest academic research. I won't go into this deeply, but valid information on such a hot button subject is exactly what we need right now, and withdrawing valid information only leads to more vacuum, which will be filled by whatever the dominant political power declares.

As to your second statement, statisticians regularly use one quantity as a proxy for another. Here, they used the violent crime (by race) rates as a proxy for police encounters. This is in contrast to using gross population race proportions as a proxy for police encounters. Other studies--which have not been retracted--have used gross population race proportions as a proxy for police encounters. Will those be retracted? Will future studies using similar proxies be retracted? Only if they go against a powerful narrative, I wager.

There are other places that are technically on tribal land, and that hasn't allowed the tribe to government them. The city and state is not going to cede governance on non-members to the tribe. Its going to end up being an agreement between the state and the tribe.

How can the customer confirm that the numbers are truly random and drawn live so you can't coordinate with them? It's to both your benefit and the insurance company's to not have high dollar prizes pay out. The insurance company would be on the hook for the prize, and it would cause your premium to go up.

Companies wrongfully fight unemployment claims all the time to keep their insurance rates down. It would be awful tempting for the insurance agency to send you the drawn numbers even ever so slightly early and let you alert them so they can redraw if the jackpot was ever awarded.
Same is true of Green Bay, WI. About 15% of the city intersects with the Oneida Nation reservation. While also not a "major" city, it is over twice the size of Palm Springs.
This argument translated to other situations:

* we can't just end slavery - this is not how this world works. There have been slaves forever. We can't change slavery because of feelings.

* we can't give women the right to vote. This is not how this world works, women are supposed to be property of their men. We can't just let them do it because of feelings.

* we can't try to have a geneva conventio. This is not how this world works, excessive torture and cruelty have always been part of war. We cant just expect or troops to show humanity.

* we can't give land ownership rights to commoners. This is not how the world works, nobility has always had special privelege to own a thing. We cant just expect to let lesser humans have land because of feelings.

Finally: if your argument applies equally to a pro- and anit-Isreal stance - it's existence both proves and violates your exact point at the same time, depending on which stance you are already more inclined to.

I think the article both directly addresses this and also succinctly summarizes its tone: "[...] the stridency and hyperbole of the reactions of Alexander’s cohort to his cause bear the classic markers of grandiosity: the conviction that they are at once potent and beleaguered."
So, I would be interested to hear more of your legal theory for this as it could be argued.

However in the United States Constitution the 10th Amendment states that all powers not explicitly delegated to the federal government are reserved to the states. Thus establishing the principle of the separation of powers between the federal and state governments as integral to American law.

Thus according to the constitution the role of the federal government is not that of an oversight body. I am anxious however to learn more on the subject if you can provide additional evidence that legally the role of the US Federal government is to act as an oversight body for the states.

EDIT: A lot of the replies have been informative, and well reasoned and there is a very compelling case from a legal perspective for the idea of the Federal government has the ability to compel local PDs in this respect. My hats off to the replies, very informative. I still don't know if the FBI would be the best appendage for doing something like this, but I do find the responses informative.
"Relational databases: a software engineering fail"

Hard to take this piece seriously with a headline like this.
Yeah, but Germany's intelligence services aren't the NSA, neither regarding technical ability, nor regarding the lack of mission constraints. I'm sure they'd love to get their hands on DE-CIX as a whole, but they won't unless somebody with a US passport sits in on the meeting - and if they have that person, they don't need German laws.

I believe that these changes target ISPs and providers like mailbox.org, posteo etc, that have been "privacy first" and not too friendly. These laws aren't for wholesale data intake, they are more like phone surveillance with the added bonus that they (the ISPs and service providers) will be not only required to let them listen in, but to also allow them to inject trojans into the traffic that is being transported. These are very closely related to our laws for mailing services that contain similar things (the wording is very similar as well). They're not for the intelligence services to just walk in and say "Hi, we'll take everything, please", they still require a court order and target specific individuals.

Police come from working class backgrounds. It is usually the lower class not the working class who gets oppressed.

That's what the first thing I was talking about is, the laws that only require that the officer says they were afraid and don't have a 'reasonable fear' language. Prosecutors generally don't take cases they can't win and if the office only needs to be afraid they can always say they were and there's no requirement that their fear be in any way backed up by the situation.

You are right - I spoke out of frustration. I understand that one of the greatest joys of pure science is being able to share it with the world. I’m sure the Physics community is just as frustrated at how difficult it is to spread this knowledge accurately to a broader audience.
