"But the vast majority of police were entirely peaceful. And and even greater number of individual officers have done nothing wrong."

by the way, peaceful to you is not peaceful to me. when I'm driving home from work and literally every road is filled with people on the road, and I am unable to get home till midnight - you are not peaceful, and you are breaking the law. when you refuse to clear the road and let me come home so I can sleep before the next day at work starts, I'm glad to pay for the tear gas and the rubber bullet that hits you in the head. you clearly don't care about my well-being, so I not only don't care about yours - I want physical harm to come to you.

this is why assemblies outside get a permit, and a designated route to follow. so the majority of people, who are not a part of your rage party, can get routed around and live their lives. you choose not to follow the social contract with the rest of society - I see zero issue with police not following the social contract with you. you have escalated the situation, so expect an escalation from the people you're "peacefully" harming - the majority of people.

Hey there! SessionForward is made up of two main pieces, a "client" library which you "require" on your page by pasting a <script> snippet, and a server, which actually collects sessions. The client side is based on MIT libraries, and I plan to open source it as soon as it will be more solid/readable. The server part of it is not opensource as of now (not sure about the future though!) And it is deployed on SessionForward servers for "non-enterprise" plans. I do want to explore the possibility offer to self host backend on-premises, even to non enterprise users, do reach out (email is on my profile) and we can talk this further!
This is highly dependent on the discipline and particular field.

For topics with a large number of practicing labs that make use of relatively accessible tooling you might be able to pull off such an approach.

Other fields require customized, incredibly expensive instrumentation. Physics and certain areas of biomedical research are examples of this. It's not uncommon that fewer than ten labs in the entire world will have the capability to perform a particular highly specialized technique.

Even in the largest fields though, it will be your peers reviewing your grant applications at the end of the day.
Ignoring hard failures (like a battery case overheat+rupture)...

Running out of fuel is, unfortunately, not as uncommon as it should be. Most aircraft glide quite well (10:1 glide ratio). I really cannot tell with this plane, but the lack of control surfaces make it a meteor.

Why would these people not be racist or sexist?

Women and men can both be sexist towards women, and hold generalised negative prejudices and biases towards men. (what some people would call sexism towards men.)

Similarly black people can both be racist towards black people, and similarly hold negative generalised prejudices and biases towards non-black people. (What some people refer to as racism.)

Humans are inherently biased.

Been using TTRSS hosted on a Raspberry Pi 3 every day for over a year now. I can't believe how many people think RSS has fallen out of style. It's great to keep on the pulse of everything interesting to me, and quickly tab through the stuff that isn't, without potentially missing something.

I'm not glued to TTRSS though, there may be a better self-hosted feed reader out there. TTRSS has some important features I wouldn't want to be missing, though; it has a built-in feed aggregator where you can choose which posts to re-post to your own feed, which you could distribute to others if they were interested in what you find interesting.
Since you're not an American, I'm curious where you get your information. Here in the United States the states have their own rights. Of the top ten states for per capita deaths, eight have Democrat governors. Some of those Democrat governors decided to place COVID-positive patients into facilities with the elderly, killing thousands. New York government agencies are even fighting the release of information about their actions regarding the nursing homes.

Democrat officials in multiple states encouraged people to attend large gatherings in Asian neighborhoods to "fight racism" when the pandemic was getting started. So it goes far beyond being "rude to some people". Both sides have made huge mistakes, and it appears that the foreign press is giving one side a pass.
Indeed - this is the premise of the "4+1 View Model of Software Architecture" paper from 1995 [1].

Is it possible for there to be such a thing as bad service which is not bad reviews?

The actual physical activities the restaurant does, such as choosing a menu, cooking food, handing food to customer, playing low music, cannot be good or bad on some independent scale. What you may see as bad service, I may see as great service.

I think the only possible thing is “what does the market think.” So the entire problem is correlation.

“Bad service” is, literally by definition, the name we give after the fact to types of service that correlated with bad reviews and low revenue.
Waraji is off Duraraleigh near Glenwood. It’s pretty good. A nice neighborhood Japanese restaurant for N Raleigh folks with above average fish. Did you mean Tsune maybe?
Toxicity for methanol also comes through skin absorption and inhalation of vapors. The effect you're concerned about there is what happens when your body breaks down the molecule - formaldehyde is an intermediate metabolite and is pretty toxic.
Are there actually that many "reporters" forming newletters? Most of what I see are opinion columnists forming newletters and doing zero reporting. No calling sources. No interviews. No digging into documents. No investigative anything.

Looking at the various substacks mentioned I see a lot that are "people writing their opinions on things they saw on Twitter". I'm not sure the world needs more people spouting opinions on a weekly basis.

Heated is the only one mentioned that seems to do any actual reporting.
(I fly IFR as well)

I don't think the comparison between a regular driver's license and Instrument / IMC flight is reasonable. Perhaps more accurate to compare to a Commercial Driver's License with a HazMat load

Or driving a bus

Even in the aviation world, an IFR rating is largely considered the most difficult to get.

I would also add that in aviation, most accidents / incidents do _not_ result from a single error, but rather the stacking up of errors, which granted, are almost all variations of 'pilot error'
I think most people would admit he is a buffoon. I also think most people would not stand by if he did something obviously, materially, directly and apolitically harmful to people. I can't write people off if they continue to vote red until then. I also don't find republican rhetoric to be much different than democrat rhetoric. Both-sides-ism acknowledged, I think prominent Democrat and Republican and messaging both rely almost entirely on emotional argument. I think this is novel behavior for Republicans, since their old behavior was to meekly, logically and unsuccessfully argue their point. The change to unapologetic emotional argument is shocking to the left wing, but it prevails. A scream of "kids in cages" is no more convincing than a growl of "some of them are good people." A "womp womp" is as convicing as a "how absolutely dare you sir." You are right on the result: it pushes common people into irrelevant, trivial debates, preventing meaningful discussion.
In this case it seems to mean building an extra server layer on-top of it.

The CAM software that came with the 4wK laser I use at work had an amazing nesting algorithm, but was otherwise entirely unsuited to our needs.

SigmaTech make SigmaNest which, as of version 1.7, I feel confident in highly recommending.

And they’ve put on an additional team member for tech support in my region and I can now confidently praise that aspect of their business too.

" she doesn't regard trans women as actual women"

I don't view trans women as 'the same as female women' either, to me, they are very objectively 'something else', 'not exactly like women', but I also have zero problems with them 'being women for the most part' and identifying as such if they want.

In my view, denying the glaringly obvious difference between 'trans women' and 'female women' is to deny reality, in the name of some cause.

Now, I have zero problem with people wanting to identify as women, if a trans woman wants me to call her 'she' - or whatever - it's fine by me. I hold zero concern or anything against them.

I will also tell you that in other cultures - particularly in Brasil wherein trans is far more common - that this is a popular view. The only trans women with whom I've ever had a conversation about the issue literally told me, unsolicited, that 'she is not like other women'. I kind of 'gasped' at the statement, but this woman was simply stating her mind and what to her was obvious. The statement was not ideological oriented, formed by 'mob opinion', and not a complex, intellectual thing. Just her view. Is this tans woman a bigot?

It's perfectly fine if people want to disagree with Rowling's view. I'm basically certain that Rowling doesn't mind a single bit if many would disagree with her.

The issue, is that she's not allowed to have her opinion because of the ostensibly ideologically held view that 'people who identify as women are women and that's it'.

And so this is one of the points made: "Agree with me on you're a bigot".

We don't want this.

To an extent, mainstream media is already a filter bubble. You get minor variation within an increasingly narrow viewpoint. Not sure if this will make it worse or better in aggregate.
My intention was to make it obvious.
Technically, you are really just waiting for the thermal inertia of the testing device. The reaction kinetics are really quite fast.

During the last SARS outbreak, this sort of thing was proposed:

I'm no legal expert, but I imagine it would be very difficult to prove that Amazon is committing fraud.

In Washington State, Fraud has a very specific meaning, and requires me (the victim) to prove 9 elements of fraud.

These elements include proving Amazon intentionally mislead me by stating false facts, and that as a result of the fraud, I suffered damages.

As other threads have mentioned, the sheer scale at which Amazon operates means they deal with logistical issues differently than other retailers. To ensure 100% rate for returns would increase the cost to Amazon, which would either be eaten by the company, or passed along to the consumer.
Wow, this looks great!
I recommend reading this blog post [1] about the unknowns of immunity. Antibodies are only part of the immunity picture, as this tweetstorm [2] concisely explains.

Agree, the website is brilliant...
PGs presents a closing hope in the imagination of the aggressively independent-minded. There is hope but no assurance that doesn't turn towards sustained decline. The dark ages happened. Leonardo DaVinci lamtented that in 1400 he knew less than Galen did in 185 AD. The Islamic golden age also abandoned science to religious dogma.

Still it is hard to fathom a worldwide sustained decline. Some cultural and/or language group won't go along.

Why do you feel that you need to be able to see the point of it for it to be ok or non-offensive? Maybe you don’t see the point of it, but others see their own point and don’t have to justify it.

Should every possible characteristic a living entity can have also be a protected class?
I'm skeptical about the rest of it, but the article lightly covers using existing transport corridors (waterways, rail tracks, and to a lesser priority arterial roadways) as routes for these medium-range flights that explicitly avoid populated areas.

Thank you for your input about the streetcars, Berwyn and Cicero, and Oak Park. I fell in love with Chicago during my time there and always enjoy getting to know more of its history. It is a powerful city (and I hope to maybe move back to it in a few years, pending my career alignment).
Indeed. However, if the tool is being used improperly [1], can law enforcement be trusted with it? This seems like a very complicated issue, and I'm legitimately not sure what the right path is.

That being said, much like the similar issue with encryption, I would lean on the principle of least privileges and deny LE this capability until we can _effectively_ make sure it won't be abused. (This applies to facial recognition, not encryption. There's no good enough reason to backdoor all encryption.)

How about designing a RORO ferry with no watertight compartments that allows the bow doors to be open while underway (and having no indicator lights on the bridge) and then sailing into the open sea at speed:

(oh and not having waterproof emergency lighting).

Lots of lessons were learned from those 193 deaths.
> They are nothing but forces we create (i.e. purely anthropogenic), and appear god-like only because what society solely values right now is the normativity of the market (as opposed to historical normativities such as the state power, religion, morality and so on).

What happens when you start to distort markets with top-down intervention is, in sum, decreased prosperity for all. Communism is just the most extreme example of this.

The market has failure modes that need to be actively corrected, like pricing in externalities or preventing monopoly abuse. But governments usually err on the over-interventionist side. When you look at the world you can’t help but notice this pattern, it is really that obvious.
Strong disagree. Software quality is driven almost entirely by either insane dedication from hobbyists or (more commonly) monetary incentives. Lots of businesses depend on Postgres so it's good. Github makes money off of providing a good product. Wacom has a total stranglehold on the market so they don't care because they know artists will put up with it.
Removing the immunity of police officers and killing only Canadian levels of civilians would literally take all the wind out of the protests. Pretending that the populace is an insatiable mob rather than people with legitimate grievances that could be addressed is just wrongheaded.
That becomes an interesting dynamic expecially between universal guaranteed income and universal guaranteed employment.

But the original question was how to provide incentive. Assuming able-bodied persons must provide some work, opportunities for advancement, more pay, or more favourable environment, and the prospect of less attractive work, remain. Military and similar environments provide models, e.g., latrine duty.

Most people would prefer some useful occupation, I suspect, however humble.

And again, with guaranteed employment, even the worst job would provide a livelihood.

Statista says that CS in India is 880k + 660k of Electronics Engineering (CS adjascent field). That's 1.54mil students in the field that we are talking about.

60k of tier one - are fairly smart and probably half of them are brilliant and passionate(being very generous here). They are the outliers that prove a point.

That said - 4 year degree shouldn't be a requirement in software engineering. It's a very poor quality marker

I don't know anything about mercurial's internal data model, so it's hard to say. In particular, it makes some fundamentally different choices (e.g. no staging area, the ability to use unnamed branches). I certainly think git could do a lot better with its interface though.
Given enough redundancy in the powertrain and power, I think it's probably going to be more reliable mechanically than the average piston-engined light aircraft.

Where I would really worry, of course, is the software driving all of that. It's very likely it will need some sophisticated control systems and may not even be inherently stable aerodynamically.

Ask HN: Can I start a startup while on unemployment (US based)
I'm employed right now in a well paying job, and I have a small side project that I have been working on with a friend that makes a modest amount of money, of which I have not paid myself any as of yet. If I were to get laid off or fired from my full time job, would it be legally possible to take unemployment for a while while to help me bootstrap the startup?

The problem with the 100LL phase-out is that you have over 70 years of engines and fuel systems designed to work with leaded fuel.

In order to complete the phase-out you either need to: force people to put a new $30K+ engine into a <$50K plane, totally replace the fuel system, and get a supplemental type certificate or: Require that the new fuel is a drop in replacement. One would have to show that the new fuel is 100% compatible with 100LL without modifications to the aircraft.

The FAA has been attempting the second route for some years, but to date has not been terribly successful. The first route has been done successfully in other regions such as the EU, but I would suspect there is far less legacy general aviation aircraft. I personally look forward to the mainstream introduction of diesel engines into the US market that are able to run on Jet-A
This thread is a great example of why I think open-source is a distracter for true freedom: it emphasises the notion that source is somehow necessary to understand and modify software, when the truth is far from it.

Legal or not, you can always take a disassembler to a binary and find out the truth, just like you can do the same to other devices and understand their workings much like what the "true scientists" do[1]. Crackers and the security industry have been doing that for decades. PC magazines of the 80s and early 90s even told you how to patch your own software --- without source --- to accomplish certain things like fixing bugs or changing "annoyances".

I often wonder what the state of software would be like if Stallman emphasised the right to inspect and modify regardless of source code availability; perhaps there would be far less open-source projects, but people would have a much more intimate familiarity with how computers work in general.

If I can modify the binary, I don't need the source. Especially for large projects, where trying to figure out how to compile the exact same binary I already have and know works, along with its massive tree of dependencies, can be even more difficult compared to just opening it in a hex editor and patching a few bytes.

[1] It seems computer scientists mainly focus on construction unlike physicists, biologists, and chemists who focus on analysis first.

Isn’t that what was called pulling a “scamazon” on Shameless? I haven’t had this happen with Amazon (but I know they’d make it right)

I did just have it happen with an order from a sketchy web front obviously shipping out of China. I knew it was risky but I used PayPal, which I’ve used in the past and used their buyer guarantee. This time the dispute is lagging (maybe COVID-related staffing issues) but I see many reports on their forums of it happening and claims being closed without resolution, requiring a ton of extra work to escalate and find someone who can help, etc.

I was supposed to receive $65 of cleaning products, but wound up with a cheap small pair of socks (lightweight and easy to ship. Even the customs declaration says “socks” on it)

However according to USPS the package was delivered. So a quick review looks like they fulfilled their obligation. I’m hoping I get a chance to send in pictures showing what I got obviously not matching the order (which conveniently wasn’t line itemed in PayPal, so hopefully they will accept my email showing the actual items...)
