Joining now is the perfect time: proven business model, primed for growth, but still early enough to still be able to define the culture and join prior to our series A.
Let's consider this logically.

You imply that this video exonerates the police in some way. In order for this video to exonerate the police, it would have to prove that:

1. Four police officers with guns could not safely arrest an unarmed Floyd.

2. Floyd's respiratory distress (likely caused, as Floyd himself said, by Covid-19) was not affected at all by the officer kneeling on his neck.

Given examples around the country/world of police departments that arrest low-level, non-violent criminals without kneeling on their necks and killing them, it's hard to see how #1 could be true.

If you think that these statements are true, perhaps you could share how this video proves them, rather than trying to justify a very unorthodox claim by citing the collective wisdom of the audience of /r/ActualPublicFreakouts.

> ...Reddit, which I'd call a mostly pro BLM community are almost all against George Floyd from this video.

Reddit is not representative of anything, and /r/ActualPublicFreakouts isn't even representative of Reddit. It's also not at all "pro BLM", based on the all-time top posts[1].

I'm also unclear why it matters whether this video is changing the minds of people who visit /r/ActualPublicFreakouts. I don't know what kind of person enjoys watching videos (mostly) of people in extreme distress, but I'm personally not interested in their collective opinion of law enforcement reform.

And with all that fancy auto-leveling and auto-dipping they have snuck in a massive increase in practical brightness levels which is extremely blinding to those for whom the systems don't auto-dip.
That would make guests follow some very strict paths, which would be much less realistic and would severely hamper any regular gameplay.
Must be wonderful having the entire "third world" for researchers to test out their pet hypotheses, or at least to trial medications that might not otherwise be worth paying to have put through FDA scrutiny until you've dosed several thousands of innocent children. And who says colonialism is dead?
I share your frustration with OpenCASCADE. OCC has become marginally modernised with v7, abandoning that weird macro-template system and gaining support for real C++ smart pointers, etc. But it's still an early 90s framework with all the warts.

Still it's like that Churchill quote about democracy being the worst form of government apart from all the other ones we've tried. I don't have all that much experience with ACIS, but I happened to look at the API once a few years back. OCC looks like heaven compared to that.

I keep toying with the idea of writing a CAD library every few months or so. Sometimes I even write a bit of code. But OCC is always "good enough" for the task at hand, so I just bite the bullet, start typing BRepBuilderAPI_Make* and get on with life.
It may not be straightforward bankruptcy.

A new buyer could take them private as part of bankruptcy to reduce the liabilities because of current company, while retaining the employees keeping government happy, or they could be broken up into different companies, defence division could split / bought by another defence contractor perhaps, there are many options in these conditions which does not immediately impact politician concerns.
You just nailed it. The best way to punish violators on government payrolls.
My personal opinion: Of course it is a feature! I can use cheap generic headphones (Blackberry headset user here) and charge at the same time. I can use the same headphones with my computer. I can also switch between phone and computer in about a second, no pairing no BS and it works reliably all the time.

I care less about the removable battery - in every phone I had I was able to change it myself, tools are cheap, the only thing you need is to watch some tutorials and calm down to have your hands steady.

Expandable storage is also great. I mean, how can it even be considered "not a feature"? You can very cheaply expand your storage - e.g. in situations you run out of storage. I don't get it, what's not to like? Honest question.
> They might notice the custom Samsung UI and be annoyed by pre-installed bloatware, but they won't know which version of Android the phone is running, let alone its latest security patch.

Honestly, on newer devices within the last few years, I've found the Samsung modifications to be more helpful than not. I have way more options for random settings that I regularly find useful, as well as customization of how aspects of the UI look, than are provided by either stock Android or Google's Android modifications. There are also some random "bloatware" features that are actually useful and unobtrusive, such as the pen features that come with Galaxy Note devices. What does annoy me with my device model in particular is the locked bootloader, but this doesn't apply to all modern Samsung devices.
"lower cognitive functioning [..] was linked to [..] loneliness, depression, inactivity and obesity"

In short, this is a lifestyle issue of their own making. In my area, housing prices are high and rental apartments are sparse, because we have lots of villas with garden that would be large enough to comfortably fit a family with 3+ kids but are instead occupied by one lonely old person.

It would be much better, both for the elderly and for the younger generation, if they'd move to communal living or rent out their unused space to a family. That would make it less lonely plus they are helping those people indirectly paying for their retirement (by generating value for those companies that retirement funds buy stocks of).

But it appears that nostalgia and vanity get in the way.
> The final nail the coffin was their prioritization of Qt Creator over SDK integration. juggling two IDEs just didn't seem right with an existing codebase.

Curious what you mean by that? What did you need Qt Creator for that you couldn't do otherwise?
Throwing good money that would be needed elsewhere.

Ask HN: How to divide time code/support/marketing as a generalist?
I am struggling to find focus time between code, marketing, product & customer support.

What is better - 2 hours of each task every day or one dedicated entire day for each? e.g. Mondays is marketing, Tuesday is code!

Any other generalists who have gone through this? What worked for you? 🧐
Last time I downloaded it some years ago, it was only a multi gigabyte download if you selected all of the optional packages and their sources, which, if I remember correctly, included multiple versions of Qt itself. Most of this stuff is not needed.
> Also, a lot of telecoms are kind of ignoring 4g/lte deadspots in favor of just putting new NSA 5G cells it seems. I’m excited, but I’m also biased because I work in the industry.

T-Mobile has actively reduced coverage these last few years where I live. Went from having almost full bars to almost nothing and calls never being put through and dropping. Just a mile or two from at least three different towers. Even with their lte hotspot placed inside my house, their network doesn't work well. I see commercials about 5g and I think, how about implementing 1g first and getting basic phone service before pretending to deploy some bullshit 5g that likely won't be around for years and no one gives a fuck about? Anyway, I have no delusions about fixing this. Unfortunately Verizon is cdma so the only real competitor is att. Tried Google fi but it wasn't great and Comcast can go fuck themselves. So either I switch to a carrier that is more expensive and likely just as bad or I stay with the shit service because the telecom idiots decided to downgrade their network ten miles outside one of the biggest cities on the west coast.

You'll have to excuse me for being skeptical about a technology pushed by telcos that in 2020 still can't get a basic cellphone voice call to connect or text messages to send reliably even with an lte hotspot literally inches away from a phone they claim 100% support for.

Handling Unicode and input is not anything that breaks any design.

Practically anything he wrote or lectured sooner or later zeroes in on this very topic.

The rather-neat core notion is that if you try to use your brain to fool your brain, "improve" your brain, plead with your brain, or "understand the brain", you're chasing ghosts, shouting at the wind, snake chasing its tail, tooth biting itself, etc. There's something to that.. if only as an occasional sane reminder to ease up on oneself because however much you listen to or serve the "lazy / procrastinating" or the "virtuous / ambitious" or any other fragments of the mysterious inside machinery, whichever side "you" serve is never satisfied, infinitely greedy and keeps demanding more..

I agree: the proof suggests that the integers are essentially different because their order is not dense; the rationals are essentially different because Alice's sequence might not converge; the computable reals are different because Bob might not be able to compute membership of S. These aren't set-theoretic properties, I suppose, but they're certainly interesting. Of course, the mere failure of an argument is not proof of the negation, but I'd say the proof is illuminating. By contrast, Cantor's diagonal argument is laser-focused on proving this one fact (and it does so well!): it's a single technique, pared to the bone, telling you exactly what you wanted to know and no more.
You usually keep the full chain because you don't track the state of every environment (like dev local environments).
> families with incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid, but too low to afford private coverage.

I guess that it is widespread knowledge that you can be in such a situation, but to read it spelled out on medicaid.gov is really something...

At least they're nice enough to let you go without medical assistance, but save your children.
I'm puzzled by one of the conclusions:
Go is better "if you target exceptionally/mostly Linux". But Rust is better "If the project targets many operating systems and I want a truly multiplatform codebase".

I have no idea what this is referring to. The first time the article mentions this (whatever this is) seems to be in the conclusions. Find the word "platform" in the article, and there is one match: in the conclusion.

I write Go on Mac or Win, deploy on Mac, Win, or Linux. One code base, one command-line option to tell the compiler which platform to target. A 2-second compile for local platform, test, it works, another 2-sec compile of same code with a different command-line option and I have a native executable for some other target platform.

I don't know what more Go would need for the "truly multiplatform codebase" that Rust purportedly allows, but I haven't used Rust. If I had to guess (again, the article doesn't seem to say), I'd guess that maybe if I were targeting something tiny, like a chip in a microwave oven or maybe WASM, Rust would be better, because you can customize the memory handling. I would certainly (learn and) use Rust over Go for such specialized cases, but then those are "specialized" cases, not general multiplatform cases. I wouldn't deploy the same code to a microwave oven and Windows.

So, I don't know. Any ideas?
I think there are actually two modes of deciding this, and the two different calculations make sense for each mode.

Sometimes you need to be in a specific city - say, a work trip, or public event, or life event etc. Then, the question you want to ask is "which vehicle will take me there in the safest manner", and plane will likely win (assuming large distance).

Other times, you are deciding on a vacation destination. Here you often have a more-or-less fixed time budget, but a flexible destination, and the question can become "what is the safest trip I can take that will last between, say, 5-10h?" ( I could get to NY by plane, or to Vienna by train, or to the Golden Sands by car in roughly that time). In this case, trains and other mass transports besides planes may well win out in safety.
Maybe because "exploit hunter" types are in fact doing QA for the developer?
I see you're using lit-html, LitElement/web components, and you've exposed lit-html to users. That's awesome! I'm one of the authors.

Observable's html templates were inspired by lit-html, but they ended up implementing their own library. I'm glad the lit-* stuff is useful to you, and really excited to see it available in cells. I'll have to try this out!
Doesn't matter? I'll just use the details that I got on the internet instead.

Was about to make similar comment about connection with behavioral economics and how we should be wary of certain claims. Also there is some strong criticism of applying nudge theories on complex systems. That being said, as you point out as well, some nudge techniques do lead to beneficial results (for all) and I think it's important to recognize (and econs. point out) that if you design a UX, process, building, gadget ect. you are by definition what they call a choice architect.
Side note: I was fascinated how much design/choice/nudge thinking is considered here in Denmark. It's very noticeable in design of public buildings and govt. webservices

I biked to a non-doctor appointment in 80+ degree heat recently. A guy thermometer-gunned my forehead before coming in. I was outside and visibly sweaty, but I still had to warn him that given the circumstances, my temperature might appear a bit high. I don't know if people are really thinking through any of this.
Well it was said this is plasma with densities of like 10 particles per m3 so there is hardly any pressure.

We know what kind of gravity it takes to keep particles this hot together: this is how we have stars. But it's hard to see how gravity can keep an object this vast, diffuse and energetic together.
Very cool project!
3 questions:

- did I understand correctly that notebooks would be hosted (at least stored and served) on the Starboard website? (you mention it's kind of a github, in the About section) What does this imply for private notebooks? Are they possible?

- any example on how to run python there with pyodide? I didn't understand by quickly looking if that integration is part of future plans or it's already a possibility.

- I read that not all features are ready at the moment, for example exporting to a proper website. Any forecast on when will features like this one ready?

Thanks!
> Unfortunately those fancy LED setups are a headache for the rest of us drivers sharing the roads with those models, because they're also bright as hell from the factory.

Really? I'd say about 10% of cars here are LEDs and an additional 25% are Xenons, and honestly it isn't particularly bothering. They don't blind you because the beam is pointed downwards.

> Fortunately the tacky way Audi had implemented its rear-lights signalling wasn't adopted by the wider industry, and I think the VW group itself is having second thoughts about it.

Not sure about that, they're rolling it our across VW models now, and Renault (or was it Peugeot) have started copying it on some models...
Look, obviously you've provided a couple of sources, and my own experience is anecdotal, but I don't think your statement that "That is not the case for any large part of the US" can be true.

I have a friend who went into Teach for America after college, and my cousin taught in NYC public schools for a bit after her undergrad. I've seen the look in my friend's eyes when I ask about his school's resources (we both went to a fairly good public school). I don't think he'll ever teach in a public school again.

I once bought my cousin classroom supplies for her birthday so she wouldn't have to. I mean, printing paper for assignments, pens, that sort of thing; the bare minimum that she was otherwise paying out of pocket. She cried after receiving them, as a human I don't typically associate with overbearing emotion.

These are Chicago and NYC public schools, respectively. I know it's a big country, but in both cases, we're talking thousands of kids in each of these districts. And it seems unlikely to assume that these two anecdotal experiences are somehow insane outliers among schools in the US, at least according to the experience of (almost) every other public school teacher I've talked to. Money matters, a lot, and if the total amount in schools somehow isn't a problem, then then the process of distributing it to where it's most needed sure as hell is.
It's like a plot point in a satirical novel about the games industry.

> Honestly I don’t remember much of the details of what QML was like working with. I just remember it was not as intuitive as I would have wished.

In my personal experience and opinions QML is the best domain specific language for GUI development I’ve ever used and was a dream to work with in comparison to others. Nowadays, my UIs are mainly react based web applications and I often wish I could use QML instead and dream of a warm future where I can use something like QML on web without any major tradeoffs.

So I strongly disagree with him on this point.
