We can also argue that saliors who went on such expedition were not average people, they probably had funding and had resources which they could trade with others for sex.

Also, once they've reached the shore, they wouldn't want to bath after such a long voyage?

You are saying if sailors didn't bath out of habit not because of necessity.
> So you weren't personally targeted.

I think I've clarified what I meant. I was targeted. I can't specify the exact degree to which anyone was skipped over to get to me.

> In what way were you targeted?

First time, it was indiscriminate use of teargas. Second time, indiscriminate use of teargas and a flashbang shot at my feet.

> Were you doing nothing to arouse police attention?

I was standing in a protest.

> I think most first world countries have a gas they can use for riot control. Are you insisting that most first world countries are regularly engaging in what you would call war crimes... that are worse than other countries?

It would be a war crime if it were a foreign military force using it against the exact same crowd, but not if it's cops. War crimes have a way of being selectively (un)enforced when it comes to those in power, in any case.

Police are fairly atrocious in most countries, so I don't think there's much point in trying to figure out exactly where I'd rank the police in the US. It wouldn't make it right if it were average or not.

Precisely. I get that a large portion of the population just wants to pick up the phone and call but that can be totally avoided with so many messaging outlets today.

On the one extreme you can offer voice based support - Just blurt out your question to the phone, system does speech -> text and answers your question. Super super hard.

Interim at least you can offer support on Whatsapp/Facebook where someone can actually ask a question and get answered - a much better version of the chat bots that exist today.
"There was an effort to remove the fence".
"small acts of vandalism against responses".

Rioters sawing through a fence is not a legitimate effort to remove a fence. It is destruction of property plain and simple.

"Its blocking a bike lane" isn't a great excuse when the same riots are both the cause of the fence, and also blocking said bike lane.

“Their” Reddit sub is not an official forum any more than this HN thread is.
How can a police officer, armed to the teeth, beating or shooting at an unarmed person be taken "out of context"? Did their feelings get hurt by the angry protester that they just had to fight back using physical force? What possible context are you talking about?
They’re a famously shadowy secretive spying company and nowhere do I see a terms of service that says they don’t collect data on me. They’ve previously discussed their tools for spying on Facebook and other “public” sites and it seems clear they must have run them at some point. They come in and modify their software to work especially for a customers needs.

Are you familiar with Project Maven? They gather drone data and have humans label it so they can plan drone strikes and other intelligence efforts.
The important difference is that credit card details are a shared "secret". You can't use your credit card number and CVV with Amazon without giving those numbers to Amazon, which is the exact same thing a crook would try to trick you into doing.

Whereas the whole point of a public key system is that nobody needs your private key. So we don't need to provide individuals and businesses with a way to give their private key to somebody else. The only reason you'd give your private key to somebody else is because you want them to seamlessly impersonate you forever, so there's no need to make it any easier than, for example, giving your kidney to somebody else.

Concrete example: A WebAuthn/ U2F "Security Key" offers no way to get the Private Keys out. If you want to "steal" the credentials used to get into my GitHub your best bet is to somehow trick me into physically packaging up the USB authenticator itself and sending that to you by FedEx or something. Or maybe you could try putting a knife to my throat or something?

Wow. Microsoft wants to own us, do you get that? They want our kids to go to microsoft school, to train for a microsoft job, get married by a microsoft priest and be laid to rest at a microsoft funeral. This is where microsoft will take us if we continue to willfully ignore their world-conquering agenda.

Yeah, I know, there are lots of world-conquering agendas out there. Microsoft's actually warrants concern because their plan might actually work. In fact, it definitely will, so long as there are people like you who will ignore facts and advance their interests.

I am very worried that the government so far has proven too weak to break up, or audit microsoft. What's next? Too weak to jail microsoft? Too weak to refuse microsoft products? Will the government even try in the future? Or will they fall in line, for fear of failure and embarassment? The last two encounters had pretty big negative consequences for computing, and the nation as a whole. Another dust up may leave the government in a weaker position than it is now, with case law already on the books making it more difficult for the IRS to audit large corporations.

Palantir develops many of the tools which implies they’ve run them themselves also. For example, they have tools for scraping social media platforms to build profiles of people.

True. When inspired by this discussion checking out what I pay for a moment I had this oh shit experience for a moment, I pay twice as much as the cheapest option. When trying to convert the first volume I noticed that the minimum size for that is 500 GB, that's 100 times my volume size, 50 times the prize, so I really don't need it.

However, as someone pointed out somewhere else in this discussion there might be a more suitable option on the low end called AWS lightsail.

I agree that current protests are not "carefully crafted campaigns", but I think that that is largely due to the simplicity of the message: They want less police brutality and murders. The resulting system is not really set up to receive "sinners" or do any other quasi-religious things; it's merely a vehicle for conveying petitions for redress.

I remember being a young atheist; I thought that people believed in Christian and other hateful creeds because they were misled, miseducated, etc. Now that I'm a mature Pastafarian, I know that people believe in hateful creeds because people cannot divorce their identity from their beliefs and are not willing to risk their self-image merely for the sake of being more logical or historical, let alone more moral.

However, that's not why people are currently protesting; it's why people are counter-protesting, though.
>...we end up in the vicious cycle of poverty, crime, imprisonment, broken families and even more kids going through the same thing.

Poverty. That's the root issue. But it's cheaper to blame the poverty on bad additudes and poor choices rather than acknowledge the causality goes in the other direction and pony up the cash for programs to break the cycle of poverty.
I don’t understand the point of this survey. They could have also asked whether people think water is wet or not. The debate here is not about police presence, but (1) what type of presence and (2) what the alternatives are. Absence an alternative, of course people will say they want the same police presence. I would be curious to see if the question is framed along the lines of “Do you want 10% of police budget be spend on mental health” or “Do you want 15% of police budget on rehabilitation and integration”, on housing, on schools etc. That will tell is what the trade offs are and what people feel about those trade-offs
Exactly, Australia and NZ too.
I fall on the GMO is good side of the fence. I agree that careful science is far safer than the billion year "let's try random shit and see what sticks" experiment that nature runs. However, if I were to articulate my fears about experiments like these it would be to say that mankind's skill is a double edged sword. We've built a tool that quickly and effectively spreads and wipes out a species. That's the good side of the sword. In the off chance we messed up, missed something important... well now it's a quick and effective tragedy. That's the other side of the sword.

For me the equation is tilted pro-GMO because I see the alternative of letting nature run its course as a 100% certainty that a current tragedy continues to unfold.

So I'll continue to support GMO experiments like this. I just might have my fingers crossed, in case our D20 roll is bad and the kill gene jumps into the Zika virus and then into humans...
That sounds pretty awful. About a decade ago I spent some time in The Tenderloin in San Francisco (Turk and Hyde) and they had the most astounding open air drug market. It was constantly full of police but my friends were always able to purchase drugs. And violence was common. Unavoidable, even as perceived by those that spent more time there than I did.

Maybe the police cruising down the street two or three times more often might've changed that. That's an interesting point.

Edit: To clarify, no person I've ever met that lived in that area ever expressed a desire for more police. It was mostly things about housing and mental health care with that particular issue. I am specifically talking about my experience in the Tenderloin in this case.

I am not sure why one would assume it is niche (someone said OCaml is "super-niche") just because Jane Street is a prominent user of it. In any case, yeah, it is an excellent general purpose programming language. I replaced a scripting language with it. I now use Go and OCaml instead of say, Lua, because I had to reimplement the wheel when I used Lua. Perl and other scripting languages were too slow for my typical use-cases.
> In my mind civil disobedience, as an ethical concept, is about refusing to comply with one or more laws that you believe to be unjust.

I’m sorry, but that's stupid. How is a citizen supposed to refuse to comply with the qualified immunity laws? You read about bus seats and lunch counters and took them literally. For Thoreau, not paying taxes was a way to protest state-enforced slavery. When Gandhi broke the law against salt not supplied by the British, he wasn’t protesting the salt, he was protesting British rule. Here, people are protesting the entire state that imposes its authority over black lives.
You're right, I flipped the names in my head. I probably shouldn't be posting so late so I'm going to bed after this comment.

You can go a long ways with careful design and quality redrivers, but at some point it will be better to go to a retimer. Which you should use is a matter of use case and engineering decisions. Just please be skeptical of the conclusion that "Usage [of redrivers] is highly discouraged; use at own risk" from a company that specifically designs and sells retimers.
Downsides:

- Very nonstandard

- Limited client density (could be fine in a house)

- Beam-forming probably out of the question

It would probably work OK though. But why is it better than making 802.11r work? From my perspective as a user (not as a client node) it's completely transparent.
> I'm directly talking about Portland, where

Portland where there’s been continuously rioting, looting and attack on civilians for three months now.

The police’s job is to provide law, order and security for the people, something Portland currently lacks, and which the police needs to restore.

When anarchists are obstructing that job, they can’t expect not to be handled appropriately.
I thought it was already the default for chrome?
Andy's reporting in Portland this year was just 100% stealing videos from other reporters and adding his own narrative to them.

Most memorably to me he took a video of a couch burning at the justice center and claimed antifa were burning a homeless persons belongings.

Truth was he wasn't even there and stole the video from another journalist. That journalist post accurately described what happened but he didn't care, he knew the story he wanted to tell.

Andy's tone is extremely neutral but it seems like pretty much everything he says is pulled out of his ass to smear leftists.
> You say the protests have achieved their goals. To me, that means they are an organized campaign of some sort.

As in there are various demands by various groups and you can identify the core where they overlap.

> The fact is, BLM is a national organization with nearly universal name recognition at this point. They have funding. They have PR teams. They are directing messaging.

BLM is decentralized. They don't have most of that.

> And the fact remains that I think "Defund the Police" is terrible messaging.

Okay. But it's not PR. It's not some campaign crafted by an overpaid consultant. It's a decentralized protest movement. I don't want it to be that, either. That's part of the problem in politics - caring far too much about this kind of thing. Focus on the realities, the people dying. The violent and aggressive and frequently racist police.

> > Please treat them like people.

> As I said at the beginning, I think we're talking past each other.

I think the attempt to infantilize was nearly dehumanizing.

> I never meant to dehumanize the protesters.

Then stop calling protests in response to murders by police a tantrum by oversized children.

> The main point I am trying to make is that as someone with no horse in this race (i.e. I am neither pro-BLM nor pro-police)

We all have a horse in this race. We live together in a society that has some level of control over things like policing, equity, violence, crime, poverty. The "neutral" position is implicit support for the status quo, much as being a "moderate" in politics indicates the same.

> if I were forced to pick a side on the issue based on my current view of what is and has happened over the past couple months, I would come down on the side of the police. I'd rather just stay out of it.

As I said before, ha.

> All this said, as much as I think our politics differ, I really do respect the way you've responded to people in this thread, and I hope there are more people like you among the protesters because then maybe you've got an actual shot at achieving your goals.

The vast majority of people in the protests are like me. You should go to one.
Agree with you. Apart from rude customers, sometimes you face below problems (mostly process/org related)

- limited decision power. Many times even though you genuinely want to help customor you can't because of it.

- have to cover up others' lies like sales people etc

But still, I would recommend having support experience (atleast a month)to developers. It will change your attitude to solve problem. What really matters to customer is not fancy tech-stack or shiny interface but working service.

You've done it poorly. You can't specify the degree to which you think you were personally selected. And you've given two examples of them shooting indiscriminately. So no, they didn't personally target you.
CRD is a good idea and something to consider for this project. But it does require pre-installing into a cluster before deploying apps. One fundamental difference with HyScale as it currently stands is that it can deploy to any cluster anywhere from any machine and doesn’t require to store any state or install anything extra into the cluster. There are pros and cons of both approaches.

HyScale generates standard K8s manifest yamls from hspec as you would write by hand, and in that sense it is portable as well and doesn’t hide the underlying yamls if you really wanted to see. Our experience shows that for several apps, one doesn’t really need to dig down below. Especially in the case of large teams, you may still want one or two people who understand the underlying mechanism (just as Angular developers may understand underlying JS mechanisms), but everyone else can simply move faster and easier.

> Riots should not be a first resort but when other types of civic engagement have failed they're a wholly legitimate tactic to force change.

This statement is devoid of any explanation as to what types of "change" are important enough to override "other types of civic engagement". The legislative process, voting, representative democracy, the "rule of law" are all designed to avoid having people take matters into their own hands. If you are going to argue that all that should be thrown out it has to be more convincing than just some generic statement that "change" is necessary.
This issue already exists with, say, Terraform to orchestrate infra with code. The solution is to append a random hex string to the resource unique identifier.

Every video in marricks's post started after things started happening; right in the middle. There is not context. We have no idea what happened BEFORE. That's the context that's missing.

Go back and watch the newly released Floyd bodycam videos; the entire 30min and 18min clips. Dude was reaching around in the car, was being a total fucking asshole, swallowed 2mg of fentenyl; the cops were nothing but nice (as they could be) to him. Dude was claiming he couldn't breath and cried out to his mom even before they asked him to get in the car, and long before he was on the ground.

It's a complete and total lie compared to the narrative that's been stuffed down our throat by the 24/7/365 Insta-rage-a-media.
I'm all in favor of LIDAR, but I don't see what makes this company worth $3.4 billion as a public company. The investors are putting in $570 million.

Here's a list of the top players in automotive LIDAR: Delphi Automotive, Continental, ZF Friedrichshafen, Infineon Technologies, Velodyne Lidar, Texas Instruments Incorporated, First Sensor.[1] Not seeing Luminar on that list.

Their 2022 product seems to be yet another rotating scanner. 120 degree horizontal field of view, 30 degree vertical. Possibly with some steering on the vertical axis to deal with hills. Nice renders of the packaging. Why is this worth $3.4 billion?

There are lots of other cheap LIDAR real soon now companies. Quanergy. LeddarTech. InnoViz. Continental bought Advanced Scientific Concepts, which had expensive solid-state LIDAR working well. Continental put that product on hold because nobody wanted to order a few hundred thousand of them. Continental is an auto parts maker, and they do volume products only. They will sell you an expensive prototype if you want one. Delphi seems to be taking a similar position.
