I don't care what the context is; there is absolutely zero justification for the police to be kneeling on someone's neck until they die. Or pushing over a 75-year-old man and then leaving him there to bleed from the ears. Or shooting a fleeing suspect in the back.

There are dozens of similar incidents from the period since the protests started that don't matter if they were "taken out of context"—the actions themselves, no matter their context, are reprehensible from any institution that is supposed to be "serving and protecting" the people.
At my company it wasn't a tenure thing, although I think that played an informal role as to why I was picked vs someone else. When a manager picks someone for the highest rating some departments require the manager to also pick someone as an FDN to "balance it out".

In this case I know the guy that got the high rating. As weird as it is to say, and even when the wound was fresh, I was/am happy for him and he deserved it. He's a nice guy and he had nothing to do with the rating I recieved. He's now a manager several levels up.
That's probably a good problem to have! Nonetheless, customers are still buying from the same store, so, it's a win-win. Breaking customer trust is probably the only thing that's bad here.

That's a straw man argument. To apply the principle of generosity, OP is referring to the author's total lack of acknowledging US crimes against Vietnamese civilians, even as it focuses (quite reasonably!) on the torture of American POWs.

There can be no conversation about the US war in Vietnam without recognizing the hundreds of thousands of civilians killed by American forces.

Contrary to public opinion, Twitter is not the center of the known universe. Democrats and BLM activists routinely post things like that (death threats, "kill wheety", "republicans must burn", etc), and despite many left wing radicals actually committing acts of violence, little wide spread action has come of it.

A hack to Trump's account might cause a little havoc, but as the vast majority of Americans do not use Twitter, and get their news elsewhere, I doubt it would cause much harm beyond what we already see on a daily basis. The White House and other real news outlets would just issue statements publicizing the hack and that would be the end of it.
> In C a nested function can also jump into a parents goto label.

It positively cannot, because,

1. There is no such thing as a nested function in ISO C. It's a GCC extension.

2. Let's try it the GCC extension:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
void foo()
{
goto out;
}

foo();
puts("skipped");
out:
return 0;
}

This does not compile:

nestedgoto.c: In function ‘foo’:
nestedgoto.c:7:6: error: label ‘out’ used but not defined
goto out;
^~~~

Maybe you can use a computed label and pass it as an argument?

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
void foo(void *target)
{
goto *target;
}

foo(&&out);
puts("skipped");
out:
return 0;
}

Well, that compiles now but:

$ ./nestedgoto
*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
Aborted (core dumped)

In addition to Common Lisp:

[8]> (tagbody
(funcall (lambda () (go out)))
(print 'skipped)
out
(print 'out))

OUT
NIL

another notable language which can do this is PL/I. To tie this a bit more to the topic, PL/I is incidentally where conditions come from, including the "condition" terminology.

I call it the toilet seat issue with recommendation engines. If I buy a toilet seat on Amazon, I'll find it annoying when it begins to recommend other toilet seats, plumbing valves, other bathroom accessories. This annoyance extends to other areas of curated content.

Secondly, our interests and preferences are temporal in nature. Things I was interested in 6 months ago may not be things I'm interested in now. For example, today I clicked on my YouTube "Watch Later" list and now the engine is suggesting I watch A Garfield Christmas Special.

Finally, some people enjoy variety. I want to know what new music or genres are going on, but musical recommendations seem to loop back to the same things. Google Play also always defaults to 90s alternative for me. While I enjoy the genre, I would never have developed my preferences for artists like Fela Kuti or Baby Metal by listening to a curated list of things an algorithm thinks I'll LIKE. Note, it only wants to suggest things it knows I'll like or things with close approximation to known liked things. There is no incentive to explore UNKNOWN things because of fear the user will UNLIKE it and stop using the product.

This is untrue (for multiple reasons), but WebKit and Safari are a thing and arguably doing a better job at walking the walk wrt Mozilla's ideals than the Firefox team. From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23714401:

What is needed isn't the opposite view, it is the more moderate similar view. Liberals are evil isn't counter by liberal conspiracies. It is countered by conservatives who can see the point and a middle ground. Likewise liberal bubbles are popped by liberals who can understand conservative positions.

Body cams aren't the end all of "what the police saw" either. And even when you have bystanders and body cam footage side-by-side, it's hard to see what really happened. This was covered well here:

Why? Why isn't more public transit, which in ever study is massively more greenhouse gas efficient than electric cars and is also already an existing and proven technology a better option?

Why aren't plugin hybrids a better option? Battery electric vehicles require massive emissions in assembling a Li+ battery of that size. Given that most trips for people are short distances that wouldn't end up using the fuel tank of a plugin hybrid, why is encouraging their adoption not a better solution.

There seems to be a belief that BEVs are the obvious and accepted solution to the climate crisis that I don't think meets muster.

I had a clinical depression. I took anti-depressants for it, but they were never intended to be a cure. I got into therapy, and got through it.

I was aware, though,of the yawning abyss between my mood disorder and "real" mental health issues. I have a very good friend who is very affected by bipolar disorder, and while they maintain that depression and bipolar are as debilitating as each other, I see the shit they go through and shudder. But then, I've seen the shit they went through and shudder. Correlation is not causation, but everyone I've met who is working their way through mental health problems has a proportionate amount of trauma to go with it.
> The things that actually kill people should get more attention, yes.

Meltdowns don't have the potential to kill? How did you know Fukushima was "no big deal" while it was happening? You didn't. No one knew. It also displaced 154,000 people. I guess that's not newsworthy though.

There was actually plenty of coverage of the earthquake and tsunami, which were immediate uncontrollable natural disasters. No one is lobbying for more earthquakes and tsunamis. Fukushima took months to get under control, and was a preventable man-made disaster.

>But even then, it took a lot to put it in a situation like this.

No it didn't. It took a predicted major earthquake to occur. The earthquake could likely have been weaker and still resulted in a similar outcome.

>things that cannot hurt them that they just say no instead of saying do it correctly without cutting corners

Why does something that "cannot hurt them" need so much engineering to prevent it from hurting them? This looks like doublespeak.

Nuclear power and storage could be done correctly, but it just hasn't been done correctly often enough, making people skeptical of it. It is also extremely costly to engineer these solutions.
They will argue that true communism has not been given it's fair shake, the US intervention prevented it, and that this time they will get it right. They could not package traditional communism in a palatable manner so the Marxist went back to the drawing board and packaged it with social issues. Anytime the government get's involved in social issues it becomes a mess, personal liberties get infringed on and it turns out bad.

That is interesting. It might be a semantic difference between actually recording a movie stream via PTP, vs. using Live View, which is what I am doing. Libgphoto2 seems to support both, but I haven't tried the former, as the setup seemed more complicated, whereas Nikon's LiveView just gives you a plain JPEG when you request a frame. Even though it's only VGA resolution in the case of my camera, it beats the "HD" of the builtin webcam by a long shot.

>but the problem is not a lack of footage

Actually from what I've gathered right here on HN over the years, lack of footage is actually the problem.

Police simply refuse to release footage. Excuses typically used include:

* It's evidence

* Releasing the video could danger the lives of officers

* We're reviewing it as part of an internal investigation (which would take months)

Also read of an instance where a civilian was allowed to watch footage from police cam but was barred from recording or taking notes from the video.
Predicting the future is fraught with peril. It seems likely that Trump will not win a reelection this November, and seems closer than ever that we will have a peaceful transition of power at that time, versus where we were a year or two ago. Historically civil wars happen when the government hasn't had a change of power in a long time, and not in situations where it cycles over regularly.

The author clarifies on-die ECC in the comment section:

> So on-die ECC is a bit of a mixed-blessing. To answer the big question in the gallery, on-die ECC is not a replacement for DIMM-wide ECC.

> On-die ECC is to improve the reliability of individual chips. Between the number of bits per chip getting quite high, and newer nodes getting successively harder to develop, the odds of a single-bit error is getting uncomfortably high. So on-die ECC is meant to counter that, by transparently dealing with single-bit errors.

> It's similar in concept to error correction on SSDs (NAND): the error rate is high enough that a modern TLC SSD without error correction would be unusable without it. Otherwise if your chips had to be perfect, these ultra-fine processes would never yield well enough to be usable.

> Consequently, DIMM-wide ECC will still be a thing. Which is why in the JEDEC diagram it shows an LRDIMM with 20 memory packages. That's 10 chips (2 ranks) per channel, with 5 chips per rank. The 5th chip is to provide ECC. Since the channel is narrower, you now need an extra memory chip for every 4 chips rather than every 8 like DDR4.

It depends on the company - Disney needs to signal virtue because virtue is part of their brand and everyone knows who they are, Thomson Reuters is not that well known and only need to signal virtue to their valuable employees who might not want to stay at some place they found too scummy (but who knows, money is a great persuader), Monsanto - I don't know, I somehow feel virtue is not on-brand where they're concerned and signalling would make people uneasy.
Your outrage is against points I didn't make. I never said the police acted properly in this, or any other example. In fact, I think the police 'serve and protect' only the state and themselves.

My points were about our current social-media situation, where we have vast amounts of information, and people are able to filter it through their lens of choice.
It should be very clear that the US government wants to manufacture consent towards a trade war or cold war rather than actually care about human rights or national security.

Agree that I used the wrong term, especially given the negative connotation. The point is that he is now limiting himself to topics that would appeal to the mass audience and solicit a click. If you look at earlier videos in the channel, the diversity of topics is more varied and not necessarily popular subjects.

With that said I think that this is good, it allows Shane to reach a larger audience, and has definitely increased the scope and frequency of projects, which seem like passion projects and fun.

there are countermeasures. any competent org (agree with you -- probably not the majority of them) have auditing, so accesses are logged. back in the 90s we had this at my university ... it's an age-old practice. you as user would never know it.

i would bet that most of the places you are thinking about (banks, credit card, and so on) where you get on the phone with a rep, with a phone entry system ahead of the agent, the agent can only access that specific data during the call, the access is logged, and any other access (some other account) is flagged for review. by calling in you are granting access. most users simply don't care about privacy and extra hurdles are just asking for complaints. limiting access to specific accounts during live calls is a fair compromise and a tight control.

xero (they suck, so this is not an endorsement) requires you to give the rep access explicitly, as an option, when requesting tech support. of course i have zero doubt that senior reps can get access anyway (which would be audited), so the explicit control is more about signalling comfort to you about their security measures.

after google had the SRE stalker incident they implemented very tight access controls to user data.

i walked into a verizon store the other day to buy a hotspot. the rep could not get access to any info whatsoever (even billing status) until i acknowledged a message on my phone. it's clear they only had access to my specific data (ie, they don't get to enter any phone number and get access) for that specific interaction.

>Combined with die stacking, which allows for up to 8 dies to be stacked as a single chip, then a 40 element LRDIMM can reach an effective memory capacity of 2TB. Or for the more humble unbuffered DIMM, this would mean we’ll eventually see DIMM capacities reach 128GB for your typical dual rank configuration.

So on 8 Channel 16 DIMM per socket you could fit a theoretical 32TB of memory. This is insane amount of memory and great for In-Memory Database. ( How is Intel Optane going to compete? )

This makes me wonder, what makes DRAM so expensive? It is still hovering at a median price or around $3/GB compared to NAND which is less than $0.1/GB.

You just said it yourself though. You live in a country where the entire population would fit in one metropolitan area of the US. What would work for your country wouldn't necessarily work for ours because we have people living in dramatically different conditions spread across thousands of miles and over 300 million more people to deal with.

We have a state with 100,000 square miles and only 600,000 residents. We have another state that has a little more space but has 40 million residents. Their circumstances are so vastly different that the policies of one would be very unlikely to work well for the other.
