I would guess this is some kind of a standard procedure for detaining people during a protest. And by detain I don't mean code-word for arrest, I mean the legal term for questioning people when police have reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. Due to the presence of an unfriendly crowd, they presumably try to avoid escalation by grabbing the person quickly and having the discussion elsewhere. In the previous link someone gave, the police said as much. If this is the case, then other than the relocation they still shouldn't be able to go any farther than any other stop in terms of searching the person or anything.
This might be profoundly naive on my part but with books like How To Build A House and the knowledge at youtube university I'm not convinced most builders do a better job than individuals would building their own house, where incentives are aligned.

>As for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it basically ended the war, who knows for how long it would have continued otherwise, with potentially more victims than what the nuclear bombing have caused. More generally, the most technologically advanced countries are now living in an unprecedented time of peace, despite having the most advanced killing machines ever.

back in 2018, DOJ deputy AG Rod Rosenstein testified under oath to Congress that when he signed the authorization for the FISA warrant against Carter Page in 2017, that it was rock solid because every FISA warrant "package" is 250 pages long and is meticulously combed through by a small army of DOJ attorneys.

then last year winter 2019, after the DOJ OIG reported that every FISA warrant submitted by FBI dating back to 2013 was riddled with multiple legal errors that should have invalidated those warrants, Rod Rosenstein once again was summoned to explain himself to Congress.

Rosenstein told Congress the reason he signed the 4 FISA warrants extending NSA/FBI/CIA surveillance of Carter Page was because he didnt read the warrants, he just trusted DOJ and FBI and blindly signed away.

that is how America ends up just like China. we dont even question the system.

Interesting, so the SO part of SOWH just means "have opinions that can be validated"? That seems very weak, no pun intended. Would anyone go around advocating for people to have WO, using that definition? I guess if that's what it means, then SOWH is pretty vacuous.

Perhaps it's my background (law, economics, logic) but I assumed that "strong" referred to "the strong form" of an argument or hypothesis (such as the efficient market hypothesis). I never understood why someone would say it's better to embrace strong forms of arguments, since these tend to be more extreme (and IMO, things tend to be wrong more when they are taken to extremes).

What you're calling kidnapping is actually referred to as arresting, and it is entirely possible to identify violent individuals with certainty. Every riot in Seattle has had multiple police helicopters circling the area; it isn't difficult to identify and track particularly violent participants.

Proving whether that person participated in the riot is a matter for the courts, all that's needed for an arrest is reasonable suspicion.
This is precisely what it is.

I suppose you have a point. There are plenty of reputable people out there building strong identities on pseudonyms. But if you’re trying to be truly anonymous, as opposed to pseudononymous, and aren’t tying that identity to anything outside of the one enterprise, that could mean you’re putting less on the line with your reputation. Or it could mean that this is just you starting to build an identity, since everyone has to start somewhere. But either case has the same characteristics common with burner identities, so you’d be justified in being skeptical and cautious.

I can agree that there is very very limited research on the long term impacts (since this is so new) - but thousands of people are struggling to recover from this - often people who were not dangerously ill with covid to start with. The 'long haulers' covid group my wife is on has had people uncovering heart scarring, nerve damage and other issues when they have been lucky enough to find a supportive doctor. Most are currently not seeing specialists as they cannot get referrals or the waiting lists are long.

I have no idea if there are 'hundreds' of support groups - my wife is on a couple that largest of which has approaching 10000 members. Every time I post about her progress to Facebook I find more friends or friends of friends who know of people that haven't yet made a connection to a group of or who are only newly considering themselves 'long term ill'. Given what we know now, and the large wave of cases, there are many more people who will be suffering long term symptoms in the months to come.

I really hope there is no long term damage - but I think you have to admit it is too early to say that with any confidence. The impacts or Ebola and SARs are well understood, so I'm not sure why people find it so hard to believe in the issues covid causes.

Actually, it might be occasionally possible. Not perfectly, of course. If the input space is limited and you have other constraints on it, then you might be able to find the original text. For example, let's say your input is a 280 character long tweet, the hash is only 16 bytes long.
If you find that "I AM A STABLE GENIUS" is one of the inputs that hashes to the given hash value, then you can be reasonably sure that this was the original text, given that most of the other inputs with the same hash won't be meaningful English sentences.
It would probably not be very good at cutting, and would just get very hot. Just because the blade doesn't wear away doesn't make it good at cutting.

One way to make something resist abrasives is for it to be/sustain very high temperatures. If you can survive a hotter temperature than the abrasive (quite low for diamond, higher for sapphire) then it will be much less effective.

"Skate to where the puck is going to be" is an example of SOWH working well. A weak opinion (waiting to get clearer data) would result in skating to where the puck has been. A strongly held opinion would result in skating to where the puck isn't going at all, and has never been.

I like this, and I'm going to write a rebuttal eventually. The gist is that the bigger a risk is, the more important it is to socialize it.

Courts can move pretty slowly - I've never been arrested, but having gotten a handful of minor tickets over the years, it frequently takes months before there is any record of it entered into the system. I would certainly hope people getting arrested would have records fully entered within hours of their arrest, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it takes longer, especially if the person is released without any charges filed.

Yes, I've considered cloud platform. There are several big difficulties with that.

First, data. It's easy to grab public data from PubChem, ChEMBL, and a few other projects, and make a service. But why would anyone pay for it given that PubChem, ChEMBL, ChemSpider, and others already provide free search services of that data?

There's search-as-improved-sales, like how Sigma-Aldrich lets people do a substructure search to find chemicals available for sale.

There's value-add data. eMolecules includes data from multiple vendors, to help those who want to purchase compounds more cheaply.

Or there's ZINC, which already provides search for their data.

So you can see there's plenty of competition for no-cost search. I don't have the ability to add significantly new abilities that people are willing to pay for.

Note also there's a non-trivial maintenance cost to keep the data sets up-to-date.

Second, the queries themselves may be proprietary. I talked with one of the eMolecules people. Pharmaceutical companies will block network access to a public services to reduce the temptation of internal users to do a query using a potential $1 billion molecular structure (or potential $0 structure). eMolecules instead has NDAs with many pharmas which legal bind them. Managing these negotiations takes experience I don't have, and neither do I have the right contacts at those pharmas.

Sequences don't have quite the same connection between sequence and profit as molecules do.

BTW, part of the conclusion of my work is that people don't need a cluster for search - they can handle nearly all data sets on their laptop, so there shouldn't be a need to scale up any more. And small molecule data has a much smaller growth curve than sequence data, so Moore's Law is keeping up.

My first customer, who continues to be a customer, said outright that they would not buy if it were under GPL.

Since my paying customers are pharmaceutical companies who, as a near-rule, don't redistribute software, it doesn't really matter if they don't redistribute under MIT or don't redistribute under GPL.

I came into the project in part to see if FOSS could be self-supporting on it own. AGPL is often used as a stick to try to get people to use a commercial license - the implicit view of the two-license model is that FOSS is not sustainable. Which is now my conclusion, for this project and field.
The fact that this is being downvited is sad. It's obviously correct.

JetBrains IDEs do almost all of these already, mostly without plugins. Other IDEs probably do, too.
or, just let the bots be.

often it's easier to just use a website as api instead of using some broken xml nightmare that requires knowledge of the database tables.

I don't like the idea all that much. It seems close to how I operate instinctively, but somewhat neglects the coexisence of mutually exclusive ideas, which, I believe, is rooted in the poor choice of the word "opinion".

The reality of human perception is that we never have absolute knowledge and can only operate on a framework of assumptions; when two possible assumptions are mutually exclusive, we often pick the most likely candidate and focus on that scenario.

This seems to be a reasonable methodology throughout most of human evolution, where decisions more often needed to be immediate.

In a modern world though, it seems like a way more helpful mental model is a superposition of scenarios and adequate responses to any of them; in conclusion, the only reasonably principle on which to make decisions would be maximizing the probability of being adequately prepared for the outcome of a situation, which can be simplified as "Be prepared for as many likely outcomes as possible", or, more correctly, act in such a way that maximises the sum of the probabilities of all the outcomes you are adequately prepared for.

EDIT: I probably should have read the entire article before writing all that; just one paragraph after where I had stopped the author actually makes a very similar point.

Ask HN: Should I Re-Brand?
Spent a year building something, the brand name goes for a toss!

Been working on an app for last 9 months, the marvel fan in me got the inspiration of the name from Spiderman Homecoming. Little did I know, it would turn out to be a BLM keyword. No points for guessing, the keyword "Karen"

For a small team re-branding keywords, backlinks, animated videos, competitor pages, api integration links is another month of effort.

What should I do?
As long as projects are telling people to do it this way, as long as it’s the easiest way to do so, it’s going to happen and keep happening. An RFC doesn’t get to dictate how devs distribute their software nor how users install it. We see time and time again how devs try to tell users how they’re using their software wrong and that never does anyone any good. Face the reality, and try to understand how that happened and what you can do. A “don’t do that” isn’t good enough.

FWIW the few rust devs I know do it exactly like this.

The fun thing about how Sorbet works: the same architecture that powers parallel execution (for batch speed ups) is the thing that powers fast, incremental IDE mode.

https://github.com/sorbet/sorbet/blob/master/docs/pipeline.m...

^ This is a picture of Sorbet's batch pipeline.

The columns represent parallel execution (at the file level). The three big boxes represent fork and join points. So for example, the first large box (index) and the last large box (typecheck) are trivially parallelizable at the file level, and there's a small, tightly controlled resolve step that can't* be parallelized.

But it's also a picture of Sorbet's IDE pipeline, where the columns represent incrementality. If no other file (column) changed, that work is already cached.

This keeps things really simple because:

- Most speedups make both the batch mode and the incremental mode faster

- The same code paths are 100% re-used between the batch mode and the IDE mode

- Bugs that are "IDE-only" are rare. You can almost always reproduce a bug in the IDE mode as a bug in the batch mode if you squint at the problem hard enough.

The article says something like this:

> The main drawback of this approach is that it works only when it works — not every language has a well-defined FQN concept.

Sorbet was designed from the very beginning to support a type system for Ruby that wasn't maximally expressive nor maximally faithful to existing Ruby code. It was designed to make editor tools super easy to build and maintain. There are plenty of places where this shows through to the user in not great ways, but the benefits of a fast, reliable IDE mode generally out shine them.

*: This doc is actually out of date; there are ways to parallelize parts of it that have been implemented.
We need not go so deep into semantics, if it is real understanding or not. It solves SuperGLUE and other 'reasoning' tasks without training on them, and yes, at a lower accuracy. The amazing part is that it can be prompted to various tasks like that.

> If they were not involved in what is a violent and largely unlawful civil disobedience they would not be apprehended.

Civil disobedience is always unlawful, the clue is in the name. Also violence against property (protesters) is not the same as violence against people (police) though they are often deliberately conflated.

It's sometimes moral to break the law, that's how law gets changed; civil disobedience is good trouble, necessary trouble.

It's an alumina fiber reinforced blade, same ceramic as in the material. It's the most common grinding wheel material.

Diamond blades are not especially good at cutting. They only used when absolutely necessary, ie when your material is extremely hard. Diamond sublimates at low temperatures, it dulls quickly because of the fracture planes, and it's so weak and brittle that only tiny grains can survive being used to cut.

The alumina spheres they use are softer than diamond, but handle the cutting environment much better. Zirconia wheels handle cutting even better (up to 10x better) than alumina, but its softer. No idea what would be ideal.

Loading a power washer with some expensive abrasives would still cut this fairly quickly, and a thermic torch would cut it very quickly. Kind of requires you to not care about what's actually on the inside, though.
