I saw a interesting clip on TV a while back where they played several clips of various popular police dramas in which the main characters use wildly illegal or unconstitutional tricks to get confessions from criminals. Things like physically assaulting them while contained and. turning off cameras in interrogation rooms to do so. The point it was trying to make was that this "desensitized" people to police violence. Of course, the criminals in the clips were things like child predators, serial killers, etc. so it was all justified.
AMEX already has enough loan risk on its books that it tends to correlate up and down moves with DFS rather than V and MC, it makes sense they wouldn’t want more.
Minutiae:

Just to clarify I meant the old “hit somewhere in the city core” airbursts against which our underground shelters would have held up pretty well. To maximise impact a ground hit is seldom the right choice, too much energy is initially absorbed. (Also the fallout is made worse in a ground burst which can be a bad thing for an attacker if they want to follow up with boots on the ground.)

Looking at "All officers", it's about the same as the civilian workforce. i.e. both armed and civilian work forces under represent black Americans. Enlisted is more diverse than the general population, and officers are less diverse than the general population.

Newton was first and foremost, an alchemist.

His mathematical pursuits were an afterthought, certainly not what took up the vast majority of his time which was alchemy.

There is a lot we still don't know and the tendency to condense and distort is everpresent, but the facts are a lot more interesting than the oversimplifications one usually encounters in modern books about Newton's alchemy.

For instance, the focus tends to lie on alchemical transmutation (which is erroneously equated with making gold) rather than Newton's worldview (intensely religious) and philosophy (alchemical). That Newman has cheekily renamed alchemy to chymistry in his output, reinforces the fact that a specific agenda is being pushed rather than an attempt made to acquire holistic understanding.
Also I think having a highly integrated toolchain is really important for this. Building something cross-platform with Flutter feels just like a fresh breeze even for web which is a beta target (Desktop being alpha). I would have never gotten the idea to write a web app in Dart, but with Flutter it feels just fine. Like Typescript but from Google.
This is the paradox of interviewing for senior roles of all kinds: the real work is long term over years and needs careful decision making, but the interview is under an hour.

Well structured thought and the ability to communicate and adjust priorities are key skills for PMs, whereas the actual design of the solution, defined by input from experts across disciplines, is less important. Pleasing the interviewer as the main objective may actually be a good way to demonstrate capability for this role of PM (distinct from subject matter expert roles).

As will I, but I don't know that I expect the US to be a major player in the likely upcoming round of dueling hegemonies. I think it depends a lot on what happens here over the next couple of decades, and very little of what has happened here over the last couple of decades encourages me to optimism on that score.

Maybe I'll feel better when the current gerontocracy starts dying off at last. They can't possibly hold on that much longer. Or so at least I'd like to hope...but there, too, so much depends on exactly who ascends to replace them, and that's contingent on too many things for me to feel confident about any prediction I might make.

I'd bet there will be some natural gas generation in the US in non-remote areas in 2030. Maybe not new construction, but gas is cheap, responsive, and already in place. I don't think it'll be completely replaced by batteries and added renewable capacity that quickly, though I'd love to be proven wrong.

Question for the solo founders out there:

How much certainty or revenue did you have before quitting your job?

I’m in the common dilemma of not being able to leave my job because my business isn’t making money. But my business isn't making money because I’m working 10 hours a day for another company and don’t have time to work on my business.
In last few months, we built[1] a cross platform GUI app that generates automatic APIs over any SQL database.

Here are our key learnings :

* Building desktop apps is made up of an ecosystem which has sub optimal tools and it is very likely that it will never get better. On one end there is Electron which makes it easy to build but then if its a trivial app and your users are not likely to 've faster machines - your users are likely to suffer. Chrome the culprit is pretty much a joke. And on the other end there is QT, GTK which are awful to say the least.

* More than building, it is the publishing these apps that is painful which gets rarely discussed here. It costs you both time and money. By time, on how bureaucratic the process is involved in procuring the SSL from a licensed vendor, its verification and so on. And money to get the code signing licenses which are separate for both MAC and windows. And good luck publishing them without code signing - apss will be treated like malware by OS. However popular apps still go ahead and do this (notepad++ etc)

I would say use electron if you do not have sufficient resources to build natively for every OS. With some webpack optimizations you can squeeze in the app size to less than 300 MB but many electron apps without these optimizations go upto 650+ MB. Or else build it for MAC/Windows - release and see your adoption and take the next step.

I have heard the opposite from my friends who interacted with people saying that the language is intimidating because its "a real programming language".

But, to be fair deployment and package management of python is a mess when you try to scale up.
A very large part of police work is providing and reacting to descriptions of suspects. If there is no training on this provided then this seems to be a very large oversight. Based on the fact that police constantly arrest and harrass people who 'matched the description' perhaps there is no training, or perhaps the officers simply don't care and are just looking for a person that fits their bias.
The saddest part about cases like this is that they in no way surprise me anymore.
Well I can't argue with that since you said 'many' police in a country of 350+ million people. But what is many? 5? 100? 1000? It's easy to pick these instances and assign blame retrospectively when in reality, things like this almost never happen. If the guy had pulled out a gun and shot the cops in the head, we wouldn't have heard a thing about it. Business as usual.
Not exactly true, but it sure took them a long time to actually make a move.
Ketamine is one of the most used human sedatives. It's also available by prescription (esketamine) and I know someone who used it under medical supervision.

This use is also medical, to try to help calm people who have major drug overdoses and save their lives. As with all things medical, sometimes things go wrong. It's not clear to me that the ketamine had anything to do with the death, nor does the article even make that case. Cardiac arrest is the literal opposite of what one would expect of someone dying of too much ketamine.

Instead, it talks about police training... even though medical professionals are the ones who inject this on site. There's a reasonable call for medical standards and study, but not a whole lot else.
Most of the app will still be c++/c#/java/whatever & be able to do these, only the UI will be HTML/css/js via the OS's web view.
Apple Will Not Force WordPress Apps to Offer In-App Purchases
Thanks for asking. We usually do the tagging implicitly ourselves when we make our product recommendations. You can add manual rules on top if you want to up the weight a new collection of products that have just launched or similar, for example.
On that note, did you see this? https://www.indy100.com/article/instagram-is-flummoxed-by-me...
Yes, the specifics of the case don't match up perfectly, but the context of the question was "show me a case where a single company had antitrust liability without a majority of the market," not "prove with a single citation that Apple will lose."
The only sane answer.

Boring. I'd like the inverse, where only NSFW images are shown. Now THAT would be an extension!
Yeah, I did work on exactly that,porting a 2 metro ton hydrogen fuel cell CAD model to Ansys. It was a nightmare. You first have to simplify everything by hand (aka remove all the small details) and then rework the topology when importing in the FEM tool (modelling supports, junctions etc).

This is actually a very active area of research (at least 5 years ago when I worked in simulation). There were papers on voxel methods, Fourier analysis (move the model to the frequency domain and filter out small details that are hard to mesh and affect convergence) to automatically réparé CAD models to an FEM environment :) I have no idea how things have advances since, but it looked nowhere near usable in the industry half a decade ago.

Actually, maybe a statistical algorithms would be suited to simplify models should one have a proper dataset to train on, because it's very hard to do analytically.
The problem with this is that people have many reasons to cough. You could say that same statement for any year and it would be accurate.
I seem to be hitting trying to read this. Can someone help summarize the results of this analysis?
> All the images remain hidden until they are found to be NSFW or not

The demo screenshot/page seems to only show NSFW images, so the demo doesn't convey how quickly this classifier can operate. The demo page should have some non-NSFW images to show off how quickly SFW images are revealed, since the default is to block all images.
I am sorry but that is just wishful thinking. The exception here is the light sentences for these folks and the norm is jail time for others.
Parameterized packages: an alternative Go generic design idea
I disagree, people that download .py files also tend to use pip and REPL. I can easily imagine looking at some example code, download it to view in a text editor without paying too much attention to it and after a long while run 'python -m pip install...' Without paying attention to what directory I am running it from. It's a solid advice, learned something new. Much in the same vain, DLL/.so search order hijacking is a thing too so maybe I will avoid running executables from my Downloads folder as well.

Solar panels on home roofs aren't necessarily configured to power the house without the grid. Also you would additionally need batteries and related hardware to have a usable source of power at any time, so unless your house is set up for off-grid solar, you still need the grid to be managed well.
I had wondered how the current new cases / day in NY were so low as compared to other areas. This seems likely to be at least part of it.

What's the theory on why other places that were hit hard early are still quite high...like California? Lower density?
I had very little certainty of revenue when I quit my job, but I was quite bored with it and got a $20k severance package on the way out. So I gave myself 6 months before I had to look for another job.
If a suspect is restrained enough to be injected with a needle, then the police have already overpowered them. If an EMT has not judged that a sedative will medically help their patient, the right answer for the police is hand and ankle cuffs. Ordering administration of a sedative is purely for the officers' own desires - to make their jobs easier in the future and to extra-judicially punish.

Totally.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-...

"According to U.S. NCRP reports, population exposure from 1000-MWe power plants amounts to 490 person-rem/year for coal power plants, 100 times as great as nuclear power plants (4.8 person-rem/year). The exposure from the complete nuclear fuel cycle from mining to waste disposal is 136 person-rem/year; the corresponding value for coal use from mining to waste disposal is "probably unknown".[24]"

Now I'm imagining some alternate world where compilers are sandboxed well-enough that the OS's search-indexer is willing to point compiler toolchains at source-code-looking files just to find out more about them. That'd be kind of neat.
Don't use Electon. Your users WILL notice and complain about performance.

How will people notice if you are using Electon, but not if you are doing this? Is Electron doing something that makes it unnecessarily slow or are you saying that people are just conditioned to think Electron apps are slower?
Slack Has Made Remote Office Communication Easier. It Can Also Be Less Civil
You don’t have to punch holes in walls.

Edit to clarify: most houses I’ve lived in, the internal doors could easily fit an Ethernet cable under them when closed. It’s not pretty but if it’s mostly routed along walls behind furniture you’ll likely not notice it that much.

100mbit is not “typical” for new, non bargain-basement equipment in 2020.

If they aren’t connecting at gigabit reliably one of the three things (router/switch, computer, Ethernet cable) either not rated for gigabit or is faulty.

I had some similar symptoms with an isp provided Huawei fttp ont+router. I ended up plugging the computer (along with a network a3 printer) into a little desktop gigabit switch and it’s all been peachy since then.

The moral of the story is that isp provided devices are usually worse than bargain basement because you aren’t even getting the savings.

If possible I’d either replace it, or if you’re on eg docsis (aka cable) and can’t find a reliable one aftermarket, put their device in bridge mode, and run a good quality router of your own.

The original article had a long insightful comment- the author has since deleted it (some may have noticed the censoring). I will not be surprised if MGA's attack on Mucciolo's might be deleted as well- as MGA deleted its tweets.
Here is a record just in case: https://www.fa-mag.com/news/toy-billionaire-deletes-post-sla...

I detect some biased portrayal on part of the author towards MGA (investment newsletter)- we get that they made a killing on a 'great' product, but its negative implications cannot be understated.

Takeaways:

1. MGA is just profiting from trendy cultural uprisings, without actually believing in any values it embodies- as seen in its attack on Mucciolo

2. MGA is brainwashing girls into following counter-culture examples to fuel #1

So yes, MGA might be an underdog here (that is why the appeal), but not all underdogs are good: portraying as one is just another marketing stunt to accomplish 1 & 2

Note: "Fully developed brain" for girls as described in the article denies the fact that they are more susceptible than the general public to marketing tricks
Would you mind posting the link to your business.

I’d love to check it out. I bet others here would as well.
Basically we built a product that didn’t exist, but knew our industry would want, so people started talking about us as they found out. And those people really wanted us to succeed which turned into early sales which allowed us to fund development of the product.

We didn’t spend many resources on sales or marketing because we knew those resources would be better spent on making a better product. For example I spent a weekend making a static single page website a few years ago but I’ve not logged into our google analytics account in at least over a year. Inquiries come in through the website regularly still.

I think we’re pretty close to product/market fit now, so we should get a much better return on sales/marketing efforts than we would have a couple years ago.

I guess you could say that we knew the product wasn’t good enough for the majority of our market but it was good enough for the early adopters who really needed it, and we did just enough to make sure those people could find us. I spent months of my life working with those early adopters to make sure they didn’t regret their choice, and that helped guide the development of the product as well as maintain goodwill in the community, which led to more word of mouth sales.

Anyway take my story with a grain of salt because we’re not successful yet.
From what we can see in many of the comments, the research is deeply flawed.
E.g. In Roumania with 6e you get over 50gb.
Actually Digi(RDS), telco has 4$ subsription with 100gb lte plus additional 50gb 3G (total 150gb)/month.
As for the speed, Bucharest was found the best internet connection in the world for games (a research released few days back).
Thanks to the EU roaming law, some people realized that it's so good that you can use it anywhere in Europe long term (years, without going back to Romania).
Subscribe in ro with the smallest plan 4$/month, and enjoy 1.7e/Gb anywhere in Europe, as long as you want!!!
This is only for Digi (not organge/vodafone/tmobile). ONLY Digi allows you to stay long term in roaming (years).
Here are full prices(use google translate):
"Tarifele de roaming, cu TVA inclus, care se aplica de la primul min/MB/SMS utilizat sunt: apeluri locale si catre tari UE/SEE 0.0183 Euro/min; catre alte tari 1.4875 Euro/min si 0.0060 Euro/SMS trimis. Apeluri primite 0.0094 Euro/min si 0 Euro/SMS primit. Trafic date 0.0017 Euro/Mbyte. Apeluri gratuite in UE/SEE: 112 (Urgenta) si +40314007777 (info tarife). Multumim, echipa DIGI."

So, if you are anywhere in Europe with higher than 1.7e/gb, make a Digi subscription and you all set.
They would also get dirty at a much faster rate because of all the dirt and soot generated by the vehicles going by.
This seems inaccurate.

I live in Finland and I have unlimited mobile data.

That is quite common.
> Zulip? Jitsi Meet? Matrix and Element? Even GitLab falls into that category. Not strictly chat, but crucial company software nonetheless.

Gitlab is not a chat software.. however my introductory sentence wasn't really important so maybe I just should have skipped it.

> So, in essence, forbid companies from using inaccessible software of that kind? That's pretty close to what I'm proposing, instead of banning the creation of that software, ban it's use, which, ultimately, comes down to the same thing.

No I don't say you should forbid companies from using whatever software. I said protect the employees. Which in this case means that a company should not be able to fire a person that cannot use a software the company introduced.

Besides that it is not even the same thing because not only companies use open-source software.

> Also whether software is open source, freeware or for-pay does not matter in this discussion.

It matters A LOT. Forcing your expectations of what is right on people that create things and give them away for free is entitled. If you want to sell something this is completely another story.

> Doing the work for free doesn't justify doing work that harms the society.
> If I gave out poisoned food for free, I would still be as liable as if I sold it. Sure, it means there is less free food given out, but ultimately, it's a net gain.

Both of these statements are utterly ridiculous. Harming society with a (free) software that is not accessible? Comparing poisoned food with open-source software... I don't even know what to say about this. I will drop out of the discussion. Good luck on the accessibility crusade.
I’m a full time software engineer for a small company. No amount of googling answers my question: what exactly is part time consulting? At least, in your context

You can look at OP's profile.
As soon as I hit 'send' on my message I knew someone would agree because more people in FOSS is a great thing, but someone else would find a way to make the followup comment look racist.

It sucks that I can't even say 'I love Asians' without being tagged as racist. It sucks that I can't have prejudice against or for some people. We are not all equal, and if you pretend we are, YOU are racist. I recommend the sketch 'I don't see race' by collegehumor: https://youtu.be/5qArvBdHkJA
