> Considering the nature of many (not most) police interactions (i.e. as a suspect, even just a speeding ticket) what would you consider a reasonable target for "courteous and respectful" interactions? 100%?

Yes. I'd aim for 100%.

Obviously that's hard to reach, but I think it's certainly possible to do better than 50%. (Though note that it was presumed 50%, not actual measured 50%, so it's more about perception than necessarily about reality).

As you allude to, many interactions with the police are not in the context of getting arrested. You might be the one to call the police if you need them for whatever reason, you might be just an onlooker, you might randomly see police moving around your city for whatever reason.

But even in cases like speeding tickets, there's no reason for the police not to be courteous and respectful, so long as you behave that way.
A Complete Guide on Agile Development Methodology
Not very professional to just point the user to a google doc/sheet.

How do you manage collaboration (i.e. allow users to add features but not make any random changes or delete the whole sheet)? Feature upvotes? Do we ask people to raise a number by 1 in the "upvotes" column.

A proper solution should come with a dedicated frontend.

Some of the people promoting DDT drank spoonfuls of it to prove how safe it was, but it turned out to be very toxic to nature.

My dentist is great. He only gives me actionable stuff and doesn't guilt me about anything.

When I had to go to an endodontist, he was also similarly on point. This was in SF. Honestly, I have a pretty high opinion of American dentists.
It is so sad, but true. Canada is such a fantastic country in many ways, but the corruption on every level makes everything so expensive. Leaves nothing for good projects that are so badly needed to make it first class.
Phone, music player, and internet communicator in a single device, that enabled worldwide communication reliably.

Just the original phone solved voicemail (with visual voicemail) once and for all in one fell swoop. It was just echelons better.

Autonomous miles driven measures to a degree, but does not address concerns about hardware being too limited.
> I remember the rioters burning down the police precinct building just a couple miles away from here in Minneapolis. So I think it’s fair to say there have been attacks on police.

Out of interest, if there was an intentional fire in a school, would consider this act to be an "attack on elementary school children"? Or would you consider there to be a distinction between setting a fire in a building and harm to actual human beings?
Laws are indeed such. It would be kind of cool if long-term bets were possible to do, but the value of winning or losing bets far in the future is so strongly impacted by your personal discount rate and likelihood of living to see the outcome that making any gain off of those kind of bets is impractical pretty much no matter how sure you are.
Quite liked this -> "I believe the world needs far more thoughtful, critical, evidence-based technologists—and far fewer VC-backed tech founders."
I'm not sure if this is the point you're making, but I think the problem starts with the United States having a lot of guns in general, not just in the hands of police. The United States in the only country in the world with more guns than people.

I'm not saying US police aren't too trigger-happy, but comparing gun use by the police in the US to other developed countries that have a fraction of the guns per capita (in England, for example, there are .04 guns per capita), isn't apples-to-apples.
Absolutely, some rebate makes sense, Amazon delivers them well-wrapped, in a few sane package sizes etc, the hand-over scales well. The delivery on the last mile does not, and that's supposedly 50% of costs.

I'd be surprised if Amazon does not enjoy additional rebates for Packstation deliveries.
Honestly they probably try just as hard to get into your email as China. The difference is what happens afterward. Even the slightest dissent in China can land you in prison and be the next one on the organ donor list for someone in the CCP. In the USA unless you're planning terrorism or some criminal act they are just going to consider you boring. I suspect it's the same in all these these 14 eyes countries as well as other technologically advanced (the 1% mind you) countries are doing the same to the limits of their technology. It's just what governments do. Whether they can use it in court if they got it illegally is another thing in the USA. It's sad to say but the Patriot Act negated a lot of US citizens rights to seek a fair trial and not be searched (digitally or otherwise) . It is the worst bit of legislation against freedom in the USA since the nation began.
Your "off the top of my head" would be the main ones I would have come up with, maybe not quite as fast as you did. :) WP is very much of its time in terms of PHP good (and bad) practice.

(Also, WP's style guidance is super weird compared to, well, just about any other PHP style that I've ever seen anywhere, or that of any other C-style language, for that matter. I know that's subjective, but it's Just. So. Weird.)
One of the reasons to block content selectively is to save bandwidth on metered connections. Does a WebBundled site have to also provide separate resources, or is there some way for this bandwidth to be saved for those who need to save bandwidth?

you can scroll the tab list down but because it's a drawer UX once it hit bottom it auto closes

for some reason the automatically most used link don't work, I've to pin websites to the new tab area, but then they're static, and have to be maintained

it a page timeouts the description text is so long the retry button is out of screen, and that test doesn't scroll itself, and your stuck going into the hamburger menu because something as common as drag down from top too reload isn't supported here

and putting the ones who do intimidate people into relinquishing their rights in prison

Are you saying if a cop is interrogating someone and says "I know you did this, if you don't talk you're going to prison for a long time", we should send that cop to prison?

That would be intimidating a person into relinquishing their rights.
“Managed services” in cloud are a Faustian bargain.

It’s also totally untrue that you need to adopt any specific proprietary features of public cloud to change your IT processes to break the ITIL straightjacket into a sane process. It’s just an abstraction, and there are plenty to choose from that work with whatever you already have.

First of all, they’re not actually managed services as we typically expect. The support experience is much more like a “hosted service”, with very circumscribed boundaries around feature scope, mostly because it is managed entirely by the kind robots rather than having humans actually manage anything.

Secondly, they’re lock in for debatable benefit.

Third, they’re almost always the way the clouds make their margin and you’re stuck with their design decisions, and have little control plane adjustability. Running Google Cloud SQL is expensive and crappy, I would much rather run my own DB on a Kubernetes cluster via a mature and commercially supported Kubernetes operator. Because it’s automated, reliable, and if I need to, I can get into the weeds.

Because the dirty secret is that all of the managed cloud services are just software, no different from what you install, they’ve just closed source certain components to make it seem magical. And yes you can file a ticket to get them to fix it, but remember the law of outsourced availability: you still own your SLO to your customer, you still own your end to end availability. All the “managed cloud” will do is cut you a check for the wasted pennies on a bill, while your customers leave and business tanks.

If you treat cloud like a commodity player that you can fire (not likely - more “shrink investments in favor of an alternative”) every few years if their quality goes down or price goes up, you’re in a much better position for cost, performance, and reliability. Same as it always was. The “one Throat to choke” theory of outsourcing was a always business school bullshit line that never really worked, and that now has been adopted by tech experts that want to ensure their cloud-specific skills are always relevant, regardless of whether these all proprietary features are really a good idea.

Speed + having no idea what you’re doing = use all the managed services!, this seems to be the cloud pundit elevator pitch. but as with anything, if you don’t know what you’re doing, at some point you will be caught being a sucker.

The multi-cloud, open source ecosystem continues to grow over many proprietary cloud services for these reasons.
It took Ottawa 20 years to roll out first stage of light rail.
We're not talking about 80%. We're talking about 8%. The size of the traffic they are talking about is low enough that I, personally, would consider paying for it. It is a couple thousands of dollars a month to run this "abused" infrastructure. If they were doing it as a thankless task for free, it would make sense to be upset about it; but they're not. They're doing it for a cut of every single .com purchase on the whole web.
This incredible travelogue rarely pops up, which is surprising considering that they were in North Korea without a guide. That's one hell of a "gaijin smash" they did there.

Wait. If his phone was unlocked while it was swiped, the thief could have simply kept it unlocked through interaction throughout the entire heist. Why make it more complex than that?
That's one strangely phrased title. Intuitively, I'd agree.

However, the 'correct' parse would be: "(Missions to and Sample Returns from) Nearby Interstellar Objects", i.e. the two nouns 'missions' and 'returns' (with 'sample' as its specifier) are linked by conjunction because only words of the the same type (noun, verb etc.) can by linked by conjunctions (or disjunctions, for that matter).
What I've noticed in Japan, is people who have cultivated a positive self image, who think of themselves as a good person, will be motivated to behave in a way consistent with that image, just the same as everywhere else. People who are motivated to to avoid external judgements, risks to pride or status, will just do the bad thing when no-one is looking, or in a way that sufficiently "launders" the connection between their actions and their social status.
And the byproduct of all the external social pressure is a lot of psychological pain, self censorship, crippling risk aversion, and acceptance of bullying dominant personalities.
I fail to see how this framing is useful to this discussion: Republicans enact austerity measures constantly, so I wouldn't think they would be shifting the money around anyways.

The "Defund the Police" line is coming from the progressive wing of the Democratic party, which believe in funding the social programs.
Can you connect the last dot for me and explain why "(mis)allocation of capital into residential real estate" is bad for warmth, affordability, and fighting rheumatic fever?
I'd love to know _why_ there is such a significant difference in performance between Preact and React here. It's not like the React team doesn't profile it. They must be optimizing for other features over this performance metric.

I don't think any of what you say is true. The people in China would like to be free just like in the USA (although our freedoms are fading with time). People have the right to speak freely. What the CCP is doing is a dictatorship, plain and simple. They're afraid of free thought and criticism.
For a moment I read that as autorefactorer.
The Kuwaiti oil fires were indeed an environmental disaster [0]; the main lasting effect is increased acid rain from sulfur dioxide. The fires produced half the USA's entire sulfur dioxide output daily while they burned for months. The incident is considered one of the worst oil spills ever [1].

I didn't really like WarGames; I preferred Hackers. In Hackers, the world is not naturally poor or unpleasant, but is made that way by the systems which humans build. Those systems are used to oppress and control users, leading to hackers insisting that their rebellion is no less grand than one which will "hack the planet" and destroy these planet-scale systems of control.

There will be another Y2K. The year 2038 [2] approaches. The amount of work that we must do to rewrite the past and prepare our entire civilization for overcoming our mistakes is exponential with respect to time; the longer we put off doing the needful work, the more effort we will need. Worse, it's possible to become locked into patterns of just barely doing enough to prevent the problem from getting worse over time, but still requiring growing amounts of effort.

The problem with positive thinking is that it obscures reality. I sympathize; reality is harsh and unpleasant.

Was anyone doing any of that prior to gutenbergs bet on the printing press..

No. Kindle was transformative. But, we do not perpetuate market advantage when things become a social utility, and to say "freedom of choice" when the IPR is not actually equally available on all readers, when Kindle can (and do) delete content from you, when they respect the global national IPR framework but also intrude adverts into the flow...
isnt it ultimately just a series of API calls to solve the captchas? whats to stop someone hooking the javascript, solving the images and then raising the right event ?
Would be interesting to see how other JS frameworks like VueJS, Angular and Svelte measure up too. I wonder if VueJS would be more performant.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. The outcome is the same, as they just rebranded the Deutsche Post operations to run as DHL in Germany, and the original Post employees are working at DHL with (pretty much) the same contracts (which DHL cites as a disadvantage, because the former state employees draw significantly higher salaries; they're beeing replace with sub-contractors where possible).
It hasn't seemed to stop you from reading and even engaging with this conversation. I would think it's doing it's job as a slogan just fine. Of course you shouldn't forget the context of these "violent" riots were brought out of police violence, an on-going conversation in large part still because of the actions taken by protestors.
This is a good article, but the HN title is highly editorialized. Can we get it changed?
There is next iteration of 3DS rolling out right now. Many countries adopted it already. It's designed, among other things, to minimize the friction for the buyers.
Gee, 10 years ago - About when Chrome implemented this feature and started to gain worldwide traction.
I see the utility of json-schema, I just wish the schemas were beautiful and succinct like TS type definitions are.

I know one is runtime and one is compile-time, but they both allow you to specify the "shape" of a particular JSON object and verify an example against it.
Were you gassed before or after the protest was deemed an unlawful assembly?

If the protest was deemed an unlawful assembly you were participating in civil disobedience where a police response should be expected.

If not, you should file a civil rights lawsuit.
It matters to the judge.
Who knows, another cynical interpretation is that they just want to jump on the bandwagon and hope to gain some marketing exposure.
Here's a random collection of thoughts that I have about the progress of Artificial Intelligence (AI):

Machine learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) in particular benefit from fast computer chips. The most impressive gains in AI in the 2010s (Computer Vision & Natural Language Processing) were made thanks to DL. There's a famous post by AI researcher Rich Sutton, which summarises this fairly neatly [1].

Now, this connection between DL and fast chips would tie the progress of AI pretty tightly to the progress of Moore's Law [2]. There's some compelling evidence that Moore's Law is at least slowing down [3]. On the other hand, there are industry experts like Jim Keller who pretty strongly disagree with these assessments [4] and even TSMC seems to be bullish on being able to keep up with Moore's Law [5].

Some estimates of GPT-3s training cost put it in the range of ~5-10 million dollars [6]. It's hard to say how big of an impact on the economy GPT-3 will have. It's probably safe to assume though, that OpenAI is already working on GPT-4. The jump in parameter sizes from GPT-2 to 3 was roughly 100x (1.5 billion vs. 175 billion) and I'm assuming the price of training the model increased in roughly the same proportion (I might be wrong here and if anyone can point me to evidence on this, it would be much appreciated). With these assumptions, and provided that GPT-4 won't be affected by diminishing returns of adding more parameters (big if), the price for it would be somewhere between 500 million and a billion dollars. That's still not an insane amount of money to put into R&D, but you'd probably want it to be at least be somehow economically viable to be able to justify putting a hundred billion dollars into GPT-5.

All this is to say, that I find making predictions of the progress of AI really hard due to the large amount of uncertainty related to the field and the underlying technologies (mainly the hardware).

The two things you've suggested as solutions are "parenting classes" and "encourage black parents to not beat their kids so much".

You're doing the same thing here as you did above with your original post.

No anti-racist would look at the results of IQ tests and frame their conclusion as "don'tcha see, black people are stupid".

No anti-racist would look at the article you posted which acknowledges that
"the use of corporal punishment in black communities today is a byproduct of centuries of slavery, the racial terrorism of the Jim Crow era, and exposure to racism that continues to chip away at the vitality of black life."
and come to the conclusion that "black parents just need to learn what white parents have learned".

Everyone can hear the dog-whistles loud and clear.
the new ui is no improvement its just different. just broke all my flows for no reason. the only reason i use firefox on mobile is that i can use ublock orgin. also the "messages from mozilla" that appear after updates are spam. I dont care to hear your political opinions no matter if I agree with them or not. you are just a company. nobody cares what "you" think.
One thing preact does differently is ditch React's "synthetic events" system. React creates its own middleman wrapper objects for every single browser event that goes through it. This is where most of preact's size difference comes from, and I'd bet it has an impact on speed too.
