Floyd went from walking around, talking, and apparently able to breathe with no problems, to dead, during the first ~5 minutes that Chauvin's knee was on his neck. Is your claim that Chauvin's actions had nothing at all to do with his death - that he simply died of an overdose by coincidence at that time, and that it would have been equally likely that he dropped dead during the five-minute period before Chauvin showed up? That would make for a hell of a coincidence.

Also, 19 ng/mL of methamphetamine isn't a therapeutically active concentration - it's not even enough to trigger a positive drug test [0]. And 11 ng/mL of fentanyl is on the low end of the range recommended for anaesthesia [1] - that same source states that "[b]lood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater have been associated with fatalities where poly-substance use was involved," but no other substances were present at high enough concentrations to be therapeutically active. It's possible that Chauvin's actions wouldn't have killed him if he hadn't had fentanyl in his system, but that's not a defense [2].

Yes. Yugoslavia was different from the mainline communist countries in that it didn't lock its people away behind its borders. They could (and did) visit Western nations and for the most part didn't run away and defect the way the East Germans and Soviets feared their people would given the chance.
> Is this generally seen as ok? I'm planning on building similar things for sending page metrics in parallel to serving traffic.

It's OK, but you won't see a ton of benefit unless you have a very large amount of traffic -- enough that you're commonly seeing single isolates handling concurrent requests.

We're working on something that should be a lot better for this.
Most illegal immigration (US anyway) are people that overstay legally obtained non-immigrant visas.

Thus, the main reason it is difficult for people from some poor countries to get non-immigrant visas to rich countries, is that the rich countries want reasonable assurances that the applicant intends to return home rather than overstay the visa.

> The official autopsy literally labels George Floyd's death a homicide

Are we reading the same report? The link in GP doesn't contain the word "homicide". In fact I can't find anything in it stating a cause of death. It looks to be nothing but observations.

I'm left confused by the CBS News link. I doubt they infer that "The manner of death was ruled a homicide" (which was not a quote) from the autopsy case title, quote, "Cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression". It seems more likely that there is another source; that the homicide ruling was made by a different entity (besides the medical examiner's office), or at least by a different document (not the autopsy report).

EDIT: The document stating that the manner of death was homicide was a press release from the medical examiner's office[1].

I don't know any legitimate mainstream reason why you would run Linux when WSL2 exists. It runs everything Linux does perfectly, but also with an operating system that isn't built around an 11-year old somehow still "experimental" display server that leaves fundamental use-cases like screen sharing to "an exercise for the reader"
> Things like logging just could not be done

Good.

There are legitimate reasons to log requests. But far too often, developers that are used to 'printf debugging' will abuse the system. In many cases, what they were actually looking for was either some form of APM, distributed tracing, or much more commonly, would be better done by collecting metrics - which tend to be much more lightweight.

At work I've been fighting a battle to turn multiple dozens of terabytes of logs a day into something manageable, for years now. Sometimes I wonder if I could use the logging system itself in lieu of the application, as practically all data is dumped there! It's difficult battle to convince multiple groups to just use a counter instead of spitting out the same line of text every time the same kind of event happens.

Anyway, back to the point: no matter how busy the system is, you can surely engineer a mechanism to collect error logs, even if you have to sample them. But while things are running smoothly, track metrics. And, if you have a reason to suspect things are wrong, selectively turn on some logging.

I wish more people were aware of the costs of logging. Even more so nowadays, with the microservices craze.
I think that might be confirmation bias. The people who happily retire and have the freedom to do whatever they want are less likely to talk about it on a forum; they'll just go live their lives. Conversely, if a person banks all of their happiness on retiring early and then is unhappy they are more likely to talk about it on a forum. It's a similar phenomenon to the prevalence of negative reviews outweighing positive reviews.
How is it on WSL2? I tried magit on WSL1 and it was still terribly slow.
On iOS, you can connect your device to a computer running iTunes 12.6.3[1] before updating an app to save the older IPA file to your computer. If you later decide to downgrade, you can delete the app and then restore the old IPA from your computer. Backup the IPAs separately from iTunes, as iTunes syncing can screw you if you're not careful.

Yes, this is a complete and total pain in the neck, but it has saved me in the past. Jailbroken devices can also use tweaks that allow downgrading right from the App Store.

P.S. There's actually one more way to downgrade apps—use a version of iTunes from before Apple introduced certificate pinning (iTunes 7 worked for me) and use Charles Proxy to edit the request so Apple gives you an old version. This worked for me as of last fall—but in this case, "pain in the neck" does not even begin to describe it. :)

As someone else pointed out, losing information is bad because we can't know what value it might have in the future, only what value it has to us today. A lot of things from the past that we are certain had no value to people at the time (such as literal garbage heaps) are of immense value to historians today in understanding the past and the context within which those "worthless" things existed.

You're right though that a decision will probably have to be made at some point about what to keep and what to toss (how big is YouTube, exactly? Are we really going to keep every video, in its original resolution, forever?), but this is just plaintext, it takes up almost no space. The decision doesn't even have to be made, since it's easy to find the means to store this, so why bother making it? Kicking the can down the road is actually the best decision in this case, since the people of the future will (hopefully) have a clearer understanding about what was important in our own past than we do currently.

I been thinking for a while and I'm not sure I've learn anything remarkable.

As I've grown poor and in an awful family , maybe that money is important, and a normal family makes life much easier.

Also that a mix of skepticism, knowledge and intuition has been useful to avoid bad advice. I have to thank the Internet for this. It probably saved me from being homeless, a drug addict or in jail.

Internet in the early 00s was quite a different place. It was for nerds, but also was full of sane people that helped me just through imitation.

I still feel I need better income to feel confortable, and better connections, but maybe I'm too lazy or risk averse.

IDK I'm +30 and I don't really feel I've got any lessons from life that I could say it's settled knowledge.

Inflation happens when you have a supply side shock. Deflation happens when you have a demand side shock. COVID-19 caused both. We could get lucky and have the two balance out, but it's more likely one shock is bigger than the other. But nobody's going to know for sure until well after it's over.
It seems that this is due to questions about sovereignty. However, Puerto Rico has competed in the Olympics since 1948, even though it is a territory of the United States and its residents are citizens of the United States, and travel internationally under US Passports. It seems the Haudenosaunee who travel under their own passports have at least as good a claim to sovereignty as Puerto Rico and should be allowed to compete.

You mean when we were in tribal, nomadic societies? When all people did was hunt, gather, and take care of their young? Yeah, of course we didn't have maternity leave from maternity because the entire tribe participated in raising their young or they died out.

I'm not going to bother replying to the rest of your post because it's teenage angst levels of faux-libertarian nonsense. You're comparing the propagation of our species to slavery. Get a grip.
> If we can find a mapping between the sequence of words in a language and the underlying structure of the world, then we by definition know what those words mean.

This seems a bit tautological to me: if being able to make certain mappings is understanding, then does this not amount to "once we understand something, understanding it is a solved problem?"

On the other hand, the apparently simplistic mappings used by these language models have achieved way more than I would have thought, so I am somewhat primed to accept that understanding turns out to be no more mysterious than qualia.

I doubt that just any mapping will do. One aspect of human understanding that still seems to be difficult for these models is reasoning about causality and motives.

I think it is a fairly common intuition that one cannot understand something just by rote-learning a bunch of facts.

I've had two Google accounts shut down in the last six months with no explanation. There is no appeal. The consumer services I've used (Feed Reader, Play Music) have been shut down, and the cloud service I was most interested in was luckily shut down before I was able to use it. (They used to have a service to resize & manipulate images in Blob Storage. I found a good AWS alternative[1] instead). I cannot rely on Google for anything at all, and definitely not for something as important as cloud services.

I'm trying to use DoT at home to protect my privacy and I'm using my own resolver hosted externally. The external resolver is Unbound 1.9 and my LAN resolver is Unbound 1.7.

With this combo random domains will fail a DS lookup even though they don't have DNSSEC. Causing them to fail the query from my home LAN. So direct queries to the external resolver always work, with or without dnssec. But internally on my LAN I get a failed query for some domains, seemingly at random.

I've seen one other post on the Cloudflare boards with someone having the exact same issue, otherwise nothing. And no replies on that post.

Only way to get rid of the intermittent issue is to disable upstream TLS.

Really sucks, anyone know more about this? My idea was maybe to run 1.9 in my LAN using containers, just to match up versions and exclude any such issues.

Are people leaving San Francisco because the city government is too successful? That doesn't seem to be my understanding from reading and talking to people from that city.

It seems to me the biggest reason people are leaving San Francisco seems to be the rent is too damn high which is a pretty straightforward effect of the city's housing policies.

I think it's pretty clear that the Republicans party doesn't have a monopoly on poorly run government at the city and state level. (At the federal level there does seem to be a large gap in the ability to govern between parties.)
How to Get Free Coins? – Spins and Coins
Consumer price inflation depends on four main factors: The velocity of money (how much it moves around), the amount of money available, supply, and demand. With the latter two being a potential result of the former two (amongst other external factors that have an influence on supply and demand).

So yes, if people don't move (less velocity) and if less money is available (lost job), then that will be deflationary. This effectively yields lower demand. At the same time, if less supply is available, that's inflationary.

Now, good luck at predicting how supply and demand will behave, especially if you add more money to the game.

For example, it could happen that if the crisis ends faster than anticipated, too much money has been injected into the economy and demand picks up much faster than projected. This would be highly inflationary, especially if you add a drop in supply simultaneously (more money chasing less goods).

On the other hand, it may happen that regardless of how much money you add, people are just not going to spend it, because they can't (low velocity). Then you might end up with deflation anyway, conclude that you should add even more money, and eventually end up in the scenario described above.

Too make it even more complex, you might end up with inflation in one class of goods and deflation in another at the same time. Looking at a broader picture by including not only consumer goods, you might for example inflate an already existing asset bubble (housing) even more, while simultaneously suffering from deflation in another area.

It's really really hard to judge what will happen. We're in the midst of a big experiment.

I'm OP.

Merely paying more for sunglasses doesn't make them good. It takes a long time to find ones that are muted enough to be cool, and yet with enough flourish in the details to be distinctive.

There is also the quality of the light that is filtered. I only ever buy "*3" (high degree of light protection) and preferably with polarized for better contrast. Whether it is $250 or $500 they're on your face so much they're a much and a quality pair will last years. It's a good thing to spend money on, though I do admit that it doesn't always have to be expensive. You can get lucky and find a great pair in an old antiques shop and get them re-lensed for something reasonable.
> The manner of death was ruled homicide

Nowhere in the Hennepin County autopsy does it say "homicide".
https://bit.ly/2YQiNSG. The title is unclear.

I said "independent" in quotes because I was talking about the autopsy that was commissioned by Floyd's family. Of course I do not think the one commissioned by Floyd's family is independent at all. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/01/george-floyd-family-m....

> [The county medical office] have a clear financial and reputational incentive to find that Derek Chauvin did not intentionally kill George Floyd.

Are you saying they made up the meth and possibly lethal level of fentanyl in Floyd's system? Those would explain why he was reportedly "not in control of himself". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_George_Floyd

For me as a systems engineer and systems administrator appliances like VMware VxRail are totally infuriating at times. Especially the deeply object oriented design of their APIs that really hinders you implementing anything not already present in Ansible or Terraform in a reasonable amount of time yourself.

As a small business owner, I'm not very concerned about Google usurping pieces of my site into a widget. If the entirety of a business/site can be replaced with a free single-action widget, it's probably better for the consumer to do so.

If I were a big business (Expedia, Yelp, etc) affected by this, I would be more concerned about improving my product than a competitor simply copying functionality.
