>It is being widely reported as such, yes. Additionally, new federal legislation has been put forward just in the last week to require federal officers to wear identification in the future.

I'll ask again. Do you have a video or picture? I have heard that these uniforms do in fact have a badge and identification on them.

Allegedly these officers did identify themselves when they made the arrests but due to the sounds (like people shouting at the officers) we cannot hear it on tape.

> This is precisely my point.

Every uniform and badge can be copied and sold to other people. If it becomes illegal to have a fake uniform people could still buy them illegally. Cops will also sometimes sell their old vehicles so even if they roll up in a police car you wouldn't know. It would also be possible to paint a car to look like a police car as well.

It sounds like it is impossible to ever arrest somebody without you complaining that there is no way to know if the person is legit. What is your solution to this problem? Never arrest anybody?

You’re contradicting yourself. First you say it’s because of initiatives and then it’s because of where Tesla allocates their production.

I fully agree that regulatory credits were big part of that growth and drop, in Netherlands. But the story that sticks to people is wrong one, that Tesla dominates Netherlands and demand for them is huge, and Tesla is posed to dominate all markets in the world. It was demand for free money from government. And while one can argue that other governments will have similar initiatives, that will allow Tesla to play this game for years, competition in EV space is growing, so they’re unlikely to get such a big piece of pie there.

There was no regulatory change in Norway. Tesla brand got pretty badly bruised, with lots of stories in Norway about subpar service. And, most importantly, real competition arrived, while their portfolio is aging (model 3 is 3 years old design, model y is model 3 with a lift kit, and model s/x are way way due for redesign).

But I do see your point, that this all can be attributed to Tesla being production constrained. Except, that Tesla keeps on dropping prices and offering initiatives to push more sales.

Why not push more cars to one of the wealthiest nation on earth (Norway), where EV are ridiculously competitive to ICE cars, due to taxes? Why instead keep on dropping prices, while company is pushing really hard to be profitable?
> The reality is that cops on the street already know where crimes are likely to happen.

As for many jobs. I work as a consultant and I'm surprised how little effort companies do have conversations with their workers. People in the operational side of things is worth listening.

In fact, If I'm valued and I have clients that called me several times it's because I like to interviews, focus groups and informal conversations.

In the end, if I have to summarize my job, I listen to people and then do some stupid stuff with numbers to look professional and make my client swallow it. That's about it. It's 30k, thanks.

We can only speculate. But we live in a globalised world so the countries you mention may suffer indirectly due to disrupted supply chains from water and food shortages and conflicts in countries hit harder. You then also have mass migrations of climate refugees flocking to areas with less extreme weather conditions.

There was a kind of serendipity, though, to what good radio DJs/playlists could introduce you to. I also spent a lot of money on compilations, some of which were curated quite well by labels (like Subpop and SST), record stores (Newbury Comics in Boston), and fanzines (Flipside).

Other sources for discovering good music included friends' record/CD collections, live shows, publications of varying quality, and (I hate to say it) MTV.

Some of these sources were controlled by the music industry, but there were ways for some really interesting and great music from unknowns to float to the surface.

> I can only imagine where we'd be now if DSSSL had won over CSS

We probably wouldn't have dynamic HTML then.

DSSSL is basically the same idea as the XSLT/FO where document in semantic markup is transformed into a different purely presentational markup language (like PDF if it was SGML-based). It is a one-way operation on the whole document, and made totally sense for the intended use case which was to prepare document for print publishing.
> more than a few times I have gotten into a situation where I have attempted to preform a system update on one of the pair remotely from cafe or sofa and the PC failed to come back up after a reboot.

This happened to me as well. In fact it happened so often that I took all of the critical network software off the home server and run it on an edge router-x.

Also, setting “power on after power loss” and running the computer through a smart plug is a good idea. When it gets jammed, you can at least power cycle it remotely and it attempts to reboot.

> The UN hasn’t prevented nuclear war, it’s accomplished virtually nothing in its long history.

Last "nuclear war" was on 9 August 1945.

UN formed on 24 October 1945.

> Geopolitical reality doesn’t require letting authoritarian regimes chair your human rights committees.

Yes, it does. If they have large militaries and/or economies.

> The UN would be a far more effective and useful body if it took away the right to vote from authoritarian regimes. The idea of providing a UN vote to a dictator or kleptocrat who doesn’t allow a real democracy in their own country is absurd.

No, it wouldn't. The point of the UN is to avoid war, not to spread democracy [1]. The structure of the UN is a consequence of that aim.

The best places to work aren't necessarily FAANG companies. A good smaller company working at a breakneck pace is often times a lot more engaging. The pay is never going to be as good but work satisfaction can be a lot higher.

What you're describing can be fairly typical at larger companies FAANG or non FAANG.

However, sometimes a big enough project with enough priority comes along where an exec gives you the ability to bypass a lot of red tape. These types of projects are exactly the kind of thing you want to find yourself on and they've given me immense satisfaction.

You may also look to expand your role by fixing/improving things without being asked. I find it hard to believe that you can complete everything that needs to be done on your project by only working one day a week.

I will tell you as someone who oversees a team of engineers, the ones who see the vision and understand why we do things and can get ahead of future issues are way more valuable than people who pick off stories off a board.
There was an article / report a couple years back. It said this type of thing was happening because Amazon started requiring customers to have actually purchased the item to review it.

That seems unlikely in several ways - first off the controling humanity part as a whole has failed whenever it has been tried regardless of means.

Second the "scientific priesthood" tropes get it so backwards. A priesthood in the sense depends upon trust and secrets jealously guarded within. Instead they are anti-priests in that they try to promote and want to see understanding spread and progress to more advanced and nuanced areas.

Not to mention I have seen it most invocations as what seems a lot like psychological projection. Dogmatics encounter something science contradicts, no matter how peripheral to their dogma's core and encounter cognitive dissonance. Rather than admit their assumptions may need to shift they then accuse scientests of being the priesthood and trying to take control. There were a number of willful ignorants claiming that math and text based programming were just gatekeeping for a "computer priesthood" back roughly around the dot com bubble when they were feeling envious despite every notion being patently ridiculous - the programming languages made it more accessible and the math is domain fundamental.

The closest apparent thing to a "science priesthood" would be authoritarians wearing science's skin as a clothing but well that is frankly isn't unique as that is what authoritarians have always to every ideology. See every dictator claiming to be a god-king, theocract, first citizen, "president for life", or similiar mask.

I think this is useful if we also consider that part of SpaceX's plan is to make launching satellites cheap (in fact, launching anything cheap). So while ground-based astronomy will suffer, space-based astronomy will get cheaper and easier.

Presumably to the point where people who want to can subscribe to a Hubble-like satellite service and get all the space photos their hearts desire.

Also, we made a similar trade-off a long time ago - most people live in heavily light-polluted cities, because we value having street lighting more than being able to see the stars.
For what it's worth, the current draft of the hypervisor extensions is available here: https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-manual/releases/download/... and is Chapter 5

It does say this: The hypervisor extension has been designed to be efficiently emulable on platforms that donot implement the extension, by running the hypervisor in S-mode and trapping into M-modefor hypervisor CSR accesses and to maintain shadow page tables. The majority of CSR accessesfor type-2 hypervisors are valid S-mode accesses so need not be trapped. Hypervisors can supportnested virtualization analogously.

Truth is people never look at the sky period. Ask people when the moon is visible and most will say "during the night." But about half of the time, the moon is actually visible during the day. Wouldn't people realize this if they simply looked up?
I remember at the time how everyone were simply saying that Flash was no longer needed, that sure JS wasn't as fast, but that it would quickly surpass Flash...

We talk about tool capabilities, but it's also a standalone format, a single file that you include and it works. There's no way to achieve the same yet in JS. I'm sure some people tried to push standard ways, but none never became as standard as including a SWF file.

This is more like saying you don't need to learn algebra and then saying you hate math because it takes too much work to get the answer you need. A surprising number of developers are under the mistaken belief that not learning how the web works is saving them time and over the years I've been amazed by how many people will instead unquestioningly spend years playing bug whack-a-mole with megabytes of JavaScript sturggling to replicate built-in behaviours.

>Would a Pi Zero W work for this, or do you need a full-size Pi 4?

I tested Key Mime Pi (the keyboard-only version) on the Pi Zero W and it worked great. I haven't tested TinyPilot on the Pi Zero W, but I think it will work. The video encoding is happening in the HDMI dongle, so it doesn't hammer resources much. I don't have a USB to microUSB adaptor on hand, but I'll order one now and see if it works.

>be able to package everything into a tiny 3D printed case.

Yeah, that would be neat! One of the biggest issues I have with TinyPilot's setup right now is that it looks kind of like a bunch of random hobbyist parts stuck together. A 3D printed case would be good and wouldn't have the heat issues that Pi 4 has.[0]

is like 99% of the problems IPv6 devices encounter.
Climate change is hard because nothing easy can be done. We would have to dramatically change our life style, world population would have to decrease.

Don't see a "trillion dollar financial interest", it's the lifestyle of you and me and also the media/politics which both avoid difficult questions (why e.g. allow/encourage migrants from countries with totally irresponsible population dynamics?).
It's trivial to erase these things from photos. The photographer no doubt knows this, but that isn't the point.

It's perfectly reasonable for scientists to want to capture accurate data on the space surrounding the main subject being imaged. Simply erasing the satellites from photos does not recover the data on the space behind. Any data from behind the satellites is lost forever. This photo keeps the satellites in order to visually demonstrate this problem.

Remember that astronomy today is often done on a single pixel of data. Starlink blocks multiple pixels, and even ruins entire exposures when they flare up. This will make astronomical research, like searching for exoplanets, far harder and more expensive than it is today. Space telescopes are, and will always be, orders of magnitude more expensive than ground telescopes to launch, maintain and operate.

Maybe due to space, or could be power constraints. According to little Google Search, DDR4 DRAM consume roughly 1.5W per 4GB(not per module) so 32GB = 12W by itself at least at peak.

DDR4 SODIMM 32GB modules are about $150 right now so you can pop one in if you want and if your machine supports it.
It has a lot of latency indeed. I tried the raspberry as a Steam Link alternative, but as far as I know the ethernet port is not suitable (?). I've also read that it actually gets worse if you plug in any USB peripherals. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
It's about as rude as telling someone their criticism is misplaced in that way. You've added more words to why you believe that, but that doesn't change the original sentiment.

You can say you don't want to support that usecase but someone inquired about whether you would. You said no, they're wrong to compare the two. Sounds a lot like "you're holding it wrong."
In theory that's true, but in practice out-of-the-box defaults and culture matter enormously and differ greatly between JSON and XML.

With JSON, you have to go looking for this sort of trouble if you want to find it. An out-of-the-box JSON parser is all but guaranteed not to coerce a schema, fetch remote resources, apply namespaces, and so on -- if you want to do those things, you have to go out of your way to do them, and your decision to do so is likely motivated by considering tradeoffs rather than cargo-culting because the decisions are A) explicit and B) made in a cultural context where schema-free and remote-ref-free JSON is common practice rather than a sneered-upon possibility.

With XML, you don't have to go looking for trouble, the trouble finds you. XML's ecosystem absolutely did push everyone in the direction of using schemas and remote-refs. DTDs were both common and encouraged with a heavy hand. All the Big Protocols used them, and instead of emphasizing the differences between Big Protocol use cases and duct-tape use cases, the culture tended to get preachy about DTDs being "the right way" to do things. If you chose differently, you were amateur scum not worthy of the Enterprise. This encouraged cargo-cult application of DTDs in places where they weren't appropriate (e.g. maximally economic / flexible glue) and for purposes that weren't appropriate (e.g. as a substitute for documentation). It also lent "moral license" to the wrong party in validation-related toe-stepping. Party A turns on validation, Party B sees their integration stop working, Party A argues that if Party B hadn't been writing morally degenerate XML they wouldn't have been caught out and can point at an abundance of preachy XML gospel to back them up. Party A gets away with arguing that an API change isn't an API change, or that a new internet/VPN dependency isn't new. Party B gets trod upon and remembers that XML was complicit in it. Sure, the XML ecosystem could have avoided these problems without a single code-change or standards-change by creating a culture of acceptance around schema-free XML, but they didn't.

When JSON promised both cultural acceptance and appropriate defaults for the common low-rent use case, people flocked to it, and rightly so. The rest is history.

Do you have any reference for the flu figure? My impression from reading has been that:
1) figures (0.1%) given for flu are usually CFR, not IFR,
2) there is of course higher variance, since we are not talking about one virus (and 0.1% would be the high end)
3) data quality is poorer (since it hasn't been as high a priority).
