> Please show me video of police purposefully brutalizing non-violent protesters who behave sensibly (maybe you can learn how to spell protester while you're at it).

That's an interesting move you've done there: now protestors have to behave "sensibly" as well as peacefully? I suppose I didn't realise that deadly force was justified against someone behaving "not sensibly".

> I've watched pretty much all of them

Yeah, I mean then you're probably too far gone to have a discussion with. I guess I don't understand how someone can watch all of the same videos I have and come away thinking "yes, the police are justified in their violence". To be honest it suggests a quite shocking lack of basic humanity.

> in some way being a part of the violent protest group,

Being in a "protest group" when others are violent is not a crime, and does not justify the use of deadly force against you.

> being intermixed with the violent protesters

Being intermixed with violent protestors is not a crime, and does not justify the use of deadly force against you.

> refusing to follow police orders during the clearing of unlawful gatherings (which only happens after violent rioting).

So what, you think all of the unlawful gatherings were violent? Seriously what world are you living in?

> Even that older man who got his head cracked open from falling, decided to ignore orders to vacate

Stop a second. Think about what you're writing.

Every person with a basic sense of decency who saw that video was horrified.

An old man had his skull cracked open for refusing to step back. That's what you're justifying now.

I am not going to respond to any more of your comments, but I really hope you get a sense of perspective on some of this stuff. When you see a cop in riot gear beat some poor person to death your first response should not be "but what did the person do?" When you see a cop car drive through a crowd of protestors you should not immediately start looking up the local ordinances for whether or not the protest had a permit to be on the road at that time.

There is a simple, human way to respond to the obvious evil and brutality that you're seeing, and for some reason you are not doing it.
The main way speculative investors benefit the company is that they hold stocks because they believe it will be more valuable in the future, so that they can sell it for a profit. This demand for the stock drives up the price. Since stock is essentially a portion of the company, this also drives up the valuation of the company. Since the company is more valuable, they can offer equity to investors for a higher price, allowing them to invest in their own business and grow.

It's indirect, but it's a very real benefit.

Edit: Adding to this, the company's reinvestment of funds generated by issuing stock drives demand in other places of the economy. Investing in your own business means spending money on people, infrastructure, and other goods you need to offer your company's service. This necessarily drives demand for these goods. Additionally, this creates cascading demand through the keynesian multiplier effect.

The Perils of Impersonation Tooling
So you have an external locus of control, that sounds like a personal problem but let’s roll with it. Maybe you’re right and the rules aren’t set by your peers, but that wasn’t the point of the example. The point was conventional-minded people can often feel rebellious by following a certain garden path of “conventional rebellion” that has been specifically laid out for them. That doesn’t actually make them independent-minded. In fact, you’re even worse off than you think because both the society that you live in and the specific way in which you choose to rebel against it are both completely outside your control and presented to you as closed systems that you have no input or contribution to.
While what I'll say will surely be controversial and will lead to many down votes, Indian dialect of English is not considered a "standard." As a result, the correctness of something in Indian dialect does not mean it is "proper English" or "correct English".

If you go to non-English speaking Europe, most textbooks come from the British Council, and teach British English.

If you go to China and a lot of Asian countries, a lot of their textbooks come from the USA, and will teach American English.

You might find some Aussie textbooks in Japan or China... You will not find a country that speaks Indian English outside of India.

So, "color" or "colour" are both correct because they are correct in one of the "standards" of English. "Codes" then is not correct because it is incorrect in what's considered the "standards" of English.

For the record, I personally am from neither US, UK, or any other English-speaking country. I also think correcting people's English on HNews is silly.

Just my 2c.
Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't aware how it all worked.

Not sure I have much to add. Some of my closest friends have been immigrants and refugees with an unbelievable amount of courage in the face of a red-tape system.

This friend is many years younger to me (I'm enrolled in the university as an adult working-professional student). Generally, given her ability to earn based on her skills, I am simply trying to understand what opportunities are available to people in her situation.

Yeah! (as long as the UI/UX folks don't mind a bit of Go code in their repo)

I was kind of hoping for:

package foo

//go:embed $ASSETS/*
var assets embed.Files

But one issue with this is that it might make a dogs breakfast of the filenames within the `assets` object -- it sort of needs something like this:

//go:embed * from $ASSETS

(and it would not include the $ASSETS path in the object).
That's not right. They didn't rule on its legality at all (though they have in the past, in other cases, and let it stand as it exists). They ruled that the executive branch (under Trump) has the authority to cancel the EO written under the Obama administration (which is sort of a "duh" thing, of course it does), but that the justification provided for the action was arbitrary and capricious (in the technical sense defined by the Administrative Procedures Act).

Loosely: any president can undo any executive action by a previous president, but you can't chuck a law simply because you don't want immigrants in the country.

Really all the Trump administration needs to do is write up a reasonable plan for rolling this back and they can do it.

I honestly don't know. We thought we can the last time there was a vote and they won with a strong majority. The real problem here is that there is no good alternative. The left wing parties are a joke at best. I'm kinda torn between all the major parties since I don't believe that any of them would work. That's why I voted for the new kid on the block (Momentum).
Nailed it.

There are so many ideological knowledge and mindset cults out there competing for attention. I could probably come up with one and make millions just from looking for drifters after the first several failed for them.
You could start taking photos during the inspection of the returned item and before sending it, send a photo to the customer to confirm it’s what they ordered? You could establish a policy where you offer posted discounts (and lose money) if items aren’t as described? You could involve manufacturers in the re-certification process such that for high value items there’s maybe an extra shipping expense and time delay to market but the item’s quality could be verified before resale? You could strictly accept and sell only new items, putting returned or third-party FBA items in less efficient markets but completely isolated from the main market of trusted goods from known validated sources in your supply chain?
Many effective protests do destroy property, and that's mostly the property of large corporations. Violence against individual humans is a separate issue. There are some indications that such violence has increased by a finite amount since the start of the COVID-19 shutdown. You're free to assume that this has nothing to do with the public health and economic situation (and self-interested voluntary decisions of police) and may be blamed entirely on protests, but you're announcing a deep personal bias by doing so. Wondering aloud about how the message may be undermined is mere concern trolling. We recognize it when racist troglodytes do it, and we also recognize it when "good liberals" do it.
Hopefully this is within the scope of what you can cover:
- My employer will sponsor my green card (EB3) which I'm hesitant to take given the lower priority. I also don't want to be tied down to the employer. How flexible are EB2 and EB1 criteria?
- I currently am on TN and have H1B (but haven't activated yet)
Education is really irrelevant in the O-1 context (and also not required for a few TN occupations) except to the extent (meaning PhD) that it might signify something else (such as publications or original work) but one can publish and do original work without a degree.
Note that that is passing by value, so its moving/copying ownership. Its like having a immutable integer variable and copying it to a different mutable variable.

You have great ideas on Twitter!

Your website doesn't show any specific projects you've done, and I totally understand client NDAs, but is there anything you can share to help understand your perspective and experience?

I'm genuinely curious and not trying to call you out, you seem brilliant and your team sounds like it, but it's hard to verify because there's no public projects from what I can see on your website or Twitter.
There's an enormous leap between something which is slow on SQLite and something which requires etl into a data warehouse or similar tech, columnar store etc.

I mean, at least three orders of magnitude, minimum.

It's just a ludicrous argument. SQLite is fine for a file format, and in very specific dumb CRUD scenarios it's just about ok. But it's not worth sticking with if you need anything interesting over any volume of data, far far far below what would warrant a different DB tech to rdbms.

Ironically, you're more representative of the "we'll need Hadoop" crowd.

'Merit' is to be defined in context.

For example in the job market one would want people to be hired on merit, i.e. based on their qualifications and skills to perform the job, not based on who they know, race, gender, etc.

In the Olympic Games, merit is how one athlete compares to the others in a fair race.

This is transparent and fair, and the best we can hope for.
Now that everybody's remote, I think there's an important conversation about respecting the reader's time that needs to happen.

You misunderstood my sentence. I'm right wing. I wouldn't vote for any of the left wing parties in normal circumstances. If by "my kind" you mean right wing paties then you are clearly delusional. Note that I am not voting for Fidesz. Please pay attention to what people write before going personal.

While machining down to thousands of an inch is a bit tricky, actually measuring that small isn't that hard. Vernier calipers are cheap (<$20), capable of measuring down to 0.001 inches, and typically have internal jaws for measuring the gap between two surfaces.

Typically the issue isn't the ability to measure to such tight tolerances, the problem is physically getting the calipers into position to do the measurement. Airplanes are full of tight spaces with weird angles, which makes measuring parts without extensive disassembly kind of hard.

>Today Chief Justice John Roberts, joined by the court’s four more liberal justices, agreed with the challengers that the decision to terminate DACA violated the APA. Before they could reach that key issue in the case, however, they had to dispose of a threshold question: whether courts have the power to review the decision to end DACA in the first place.

>Roberts reiterated that the court was not deciding “whether DACA or its rescission are sound policies.” Instead, he stressed, the court addressed “only whether the agency complied with the procedural requirement that it provide a reasoned explanation for its action” – which, in the majority’s view, it did not.

Regardless of whether I agree that this is a good example, you're embodying the exact same problem the article is lamenting from the politically opposite side.
This seems like an excessively uncharitable read of the situation. I've never used Nubank's software, but I have used (on-prem) Datomic and I certainly wouldn't say it has bugs everywhere. In fact, in my (admittedly low-volume and simple) usage of the system I haven't come across any bugs I can remember. Calling Cognitect a "burnout" company is inaccurate and rude.

I agree with you that the Datomic cloud stuff comes across as being frighteningly complex. I think they probably just need to work on the documentation, like making it more obvious what the differences and tradeoffs are between the deployment scenarios.

Did you inherit a Datomic system that was previously developed by a small team or a small company? Because inheriting a system that's hard to understand and change transcends languages and databases. It is the tie that binds us all as software developers.

One of the most valuable experience in my education was being forced to write a review and discuss in class ‚There is no silver bullet‘. Better tools will not stop the flow of new requirements. And being good enough for todays business does not stop your competitor trying to outmaneuver you.

"racist" and "witch" are just labels given to those that don't agree with you or are somehow disapproved of by the mob. Not surprisingly, their definitions just change as needed by the mob. The term racist is just as ephemeral as witch in the cancel-culture world.

Racist used to mean something around "believing one race was inherently better than another," but now it means anyone who doesn't agree with the BLM organization or who supports the Constitution, rule-of-law, Trump, etc..

In fact, if you've taken a look at modern critical race theory writings, you might be a racist if you:

- emphasize objective thought, cause and effect thinking
- support nuclear families as a good structure
- prefer individualism
- "work before play" or believe that hard work is key to success

Honestly, these are not common occurrences in England. Cars that are stopped like this are required to post a warning triangle ahead, and lumber just doesn't fall off trucks (lumber isn't very common anyway as the country is mostly devoid of forests).
"recovered from communism"

Recover what? You say it as if what was before communism was better than communism.

Communism was probably the best system ever to exist in Hungary up until 1989, at least it was certainly the best to last.

It wasn't democratic by any means, but to me it's weird to say "recovered from communism", as if there was something before communism to recover.
This depends on your management. If they trust you, and typically give you what you need, sure.. request first. But if they are more the kind where it is like pulling teeth to make changes or get more resources, then no - first you need to establish the reasons behind your need, explain the negative impact to the team, propose a solution, and explain how it will benefit the broader organization. You still need to do that all concisely, which is a challenge.

I've used that pattern in emails quite a bit since our company was bought a few years ago, and it works far more reliably than when I just send off a short request.

Strawmen for why-not-to-move are interesting but not statistically so. Most folks can move, especially the younger. There are far more younger folks than old ones.

Or is it just a matter of me moving back to Canada and invoicing the company as a sole proprietor (contractor)? Is that a simple solution I could pitch my company?
