In Portland the major and governor have ordered police to stand down. Rioters even occupied an area for a week or more, you might recall news stories about chaz/chop? When your neighborhood is violently overtaken by an occupying force and the government does nothing, what do you call that? And of course Portland is not the only city to have made the police stand down and refused to call in the national guard after 3 months now of nightly riots, they're just the most egregious.

I'm not trying to make this about any one thing, but I think it's foolish to imagine that the pandemic lockdowns have no impact on the proverbial temperature in the room.

Police violence against black people is a problem in every way except statistically.

About your service, I don't understand exactly what it provides and how it would help with my use-case. I checked out your site ( https://deploybob.com/ ), but it doesn't say much.

All the features listed seem to be the same as the DO droplet creation using a marketplace image or cloud-init.
While I like new droid FF and can wait without much discomfort for the rest of the features, please let's not use term "vocal minority" ever again. Why? Because it sucks to be on the receiving end of it while having a valid problem. "Shut up, you are vocal minority and don't matter" - I saw replies like that in some unrelated cases, and from moderators even. This is extremely frustrating. Thank you and sorry for the offtopic rant.

I flagged this submission. The website has too much nonsense talk that looks like GPT-3 generated content.

Next.js Global Conference by Vercel
I have no clue, but this is what I have tried, and what I'm now planning:

I built an open-source multiplayer online system; I made a game with it, together with a company that had an IP and used Unity, that sold 250.000 copies almost for free.

Now that the system was proven I tried selling it to bigger B2B clients, but failed because I didn't really want to. Instead I'm moving into making things closer to the consumer, a HTML5 client for 2D and a C+ client for 3D.

Recently I realized, if I don't have a way to charge customers the whole stack is not going anywhere so I'm now in the process of adding subscriptions through github sponsors and prepaid through itch.io.

Now my engines (2D and 3D) are nearing the point where making the games is the only remaining thing to do and getting started on that beyond solving the technical unknowns is really hard, procrastination hides in the undecided subjective details.

However I believe that the only thing you can do is to make good _finished_ products and learn. Eventually you will get a break and then you'll have to handle the other side of the coin: being successful. Which BTW is harder than most think.

The hardest part is to make the software so good that you are not ashamed of selling it. Then having the courage to actually sell it, put a price tag on the thing! The rest usually happens automatically eventually; people can sense if you want to sell things, and they will exploit that, in other words: people will buy what they can afford if they sense a good deal.

Selling works best if you are confident: the interface is proven and has little friction, but you need to figure that out manually by doing it. B2B and B2C are surprisingly similar if you remove the wrapping, it's still about "how much of your time will they take away"!

The end goal is to build something that works and makes money without taking any of your time.

TLDR: Figure out your interface so that underlying complexity can be provided simply without friction while pushing closer to the end customer!

The rest is luck.

>I definitely do understand feeling powerless. But remember also that, as a middle-class white person, especially if you're male and the head of a conventional family household, that puts you pretty close to America's own idea of what America is. Believe it or not, there's a subtle kind of power in that.

And if you change white to any other color the power that comes from embodying something people consider good is still there. Arguably a race other that white makes it more powerful because in some contexts that would imply successful social/economic mobility.

The power comes from embodying ideals. They're all boxes to check and depending on what square you start on you'll have an easier time checking some boxes than others. If you're a white guy born to a stable middle class family it's gonna be easy for you to get the power that comes from check the boxes that come with a stable middle class family of your own. But you'll never be able to check any of the boxes that come from overcoming the kind of adversity you never faced and climbing the rungs of the social ladder you never had to climb. Who's more respected the plumber who can afford a Corvette or the engineer who can afford the Corvette? Having a nice family in a nice house in a nice suburb won't give you any credibility if that's the kind of life you were born into and getting it yourself was just a case of going through the motions. If you have a nice family in a nice house in a nice suburb and you were born the son of a police officer in French Indochina in 1955 then you clearly put the effort in to get what you have.

It's not about race. It's about who you are and what you've done. Sometimes race can be shorthand for that but unless you are incredibly lucky/unlucky those are not the kind of events that dominate the arc of one's life.

I work for a large company and when discussing a product with a startup/small company, usually in a relatively new market, I've noticed interesting behaviour:

Before I meet, I try to think of ways their product could be provide benefit including non-obvious ones. So I ask if their product does this or that, and why I think it could be useful.

Some companies tell me: it is on the road map, or why they think the feature will never be used, or an explanation of why it is extraordinarily difficult to implement. Cool. You probably know what you are talking about and I learned something interesting (to me anyway).

Other companies take it as a feature demand. I find this bizarre, because I have barely (or never) used their product. Some almost seem insulted that limitations in their product are being raised. Not my intention, and that raises a huge red flag, for "The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

I also hate demos of enterprise solutions. The feature details never matter to the financial buyer. What actually affects the financial buyer are product implementation delays caused by a major problem such as resiliency functionality or interoperability. Extending the timeline affects other projects, the budget, and the pushes out the timeline for the benefit to be realized. Edge cases and niche features don't, the business will usually sign off on production with an agreement that these issues will be resolved by the vendor. Rarely do the big problems arise in demos, but the small manageable ones do. The technical buyer is thrilled that their pet requirements are met, and the financial buyer is furious that their programme was a failure.

My 2 cents.
Yes, this is called an underquilt.

Latency in conventional DDRx memory is limited by the DRAM array itself, which doesn't change with the interface (DDR, GDDR, HBM, ...). Essentially, with regular DRAM, you cannot do better than the contemporary low-latency DDRx memory. You might chose to increase latency to increase throughput, though.
It's honestly the issue is the card form factor. If you ditched the card form factor you could use USB or other common interfaces. The card form factor limits or requires it's own interface. Current cards with chips or contact less payment use a form of connection that PCs and Phones don't have integrated.

Thank you for this constructive answer. I understand here that indeed there might have answers in NLP for my question. I also mainly understand that there are no simple answers. It's a very hard question that should be splited in many sub topic to have a true response overview, what looks to me to hard for a proper answer. I think now I have to dig the internet a lot to have a more accurate response ;)

I can elaborate more on my inital question by rephrasing as following : "Does short messages systems (messenger like / sms) in 2020 provide better human communication (more efficent, better comprehension) than legacy long messages systems (emails, letters, books) ?

Rephrasing makes me understand that the question is still way to large as it need a lot of definition ans asumption to hope an simple answer.

SURPRISINGLY
Radical delegitimization of the nuclear family in the late 60’s and early 70’s got intertwined with the black power movement which essentially argued that single mother’s are better off than married. They have more agency and the nuclear family is a patriarchal tool of male supremacy. Then taken further into the black power movement with aid of that eras new feminism, it was argued that the nuclear family is a white European ideal and a tool of oppression.

So then the problem became one of the state not doing enough to fund the single mother family. Not only accepting this but making it an ideal.

Read Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s research from the early 1960’s that could have been a corner stone of the civil rights movement. But then it wasn’t.

Anyways this rejection of the traditional family structure is essentially what triggered the family values movement on the right in the late 70’s and early 1980’s.

Interestingly as the legitimization of single mothers became more and more mainstream we continued to see black kids grow up in entrenched poverty as dropout rates and criminal activity climbed year over year for these kids compared to previous generations.

So now the solution is “reparations”. Of course it wasn’t the radical ideas of middle class radicals being experimented on black people that has caused this inescapable spiral. It’s that we need to give money to single mothers and we are here because we simply haven’t given enough.

Some misguided people will say blacks did better before the Civil Rights Act. But they are wrong not in that the Civil Rights Act was bad - it is good - mandatory to be sure. It’s that during this same era we rejected rigorous research and science for so called theories that claimed the 2-parent family was a tool of oppression. This got interlaced into the black power movement and we saw the destruction of the black family and the resulting mess we are in today.
After building two companies with Python, and then one with Javascript, I can see a huge difference. With Python, you get a predictable development velocity. With Javascript, there's lots of unpredictability (this is rapidly improving) because of thrash in the ecosystem. It's hard to overstate the value of predictable timelines and predictable development velocity when building a business.

I once worked with a CEO who would always answer "Yes" to questions about whether the product did something, much to my horror as Director of Engineering.

Mind you his approach actually seemed to work - people would ask things in sales meetings then you'd never hear of that request again. It only went wrong in one sales meeting where one person realised what his approach was and started asking for sillier and sillier things....

Police abolitionist is about two things.

* Dissolving existing police departments and making officers reapply as a way to eliminate the worst offenders that are currently protected by the blue line of silence.

* Re-establishing the police as a much smaller operation where their duties are limited to situations where deadly/coercive force is needed.

Things that would become police “adjacent” and would be handled by other government officials.

- detective work

- calls about the homeless

- all non-violent offenses like noise complaints, property disputes, drug possession, moving violations, shoplifting, etc.

The hope being that many people who are currently officers would actually rather be part of the non-violent operation.

This is why I am puzzled when people say 'you should fight your battles in the courts, not through protests'. It has always been about who can afford better lawyers, who can win the war of attrition, and a whole lot of luck along the way. Quite a few articles have showed up on HN the past week that reinforce this.
Online you don't have to prove your account ownership to the merchant, just the bank. The merchant tells bank "I want $50 from account 17", the bank then says "Hey user, prove you own account 17 and are happy to spend $50", the user says "yes that's me", the bank tells the merchant "transaction approved".
Haven't democrats been trying this for decades? Throwing tons of resources at the black communities? And yet their crime rates are still sky-high.
> No rights are absolute, and most uss of land carry some externality. I'm not willing to entertain that no consideration be given these.

This is a bit of a deflection, since it’s entirely reasonable to enforce some property regulations based around reducing externalities (eg. you can’t construct a building that will collapse onto the sidewalk and injure/kill a passerby), while preserving general property rights. The US’s speech rights are pretty close to absolute, with some notable exceptions (imminent lawless action). The argument is to get our property rights to look the same.

> That’s also spectacularly missing the main point that price-inelastic goods and services (those affording economic rents) increase in price where supply can be constrained by some means

Nobody denies this, and it is entirely orthogonal to the question at hand: “does zoning regulation constitute a market-based regime?”. The answer to that question is, resoundingly “No”. If you think that this is “the market” at work, then we need to come up with a new term to describe “system that allows free enterprise, property, and trade free from regulation”. Whatever term we agree upon: that’s what we’re pushing for.

It is also historical revisionism to suggest that zoning regulation came about strictly to extract rents. While that’s the case today, the origins of zoning are rooted in racism: https://www.asu.edu/courses/aph294/total-readings/silver%20-...

Sadly, in this day and age of development and the need to constantly ship things, TDD has been dead for a long time. In my 12 year career, I have heard lots of people talk about test-driven development, but I've never seen it in a workplace (at least none I've worked at).

On my own personal projects I have dabbled with TDD and I've seen the benefits it can provide, but it does make even simple programming tasks take a lot longer. Sadly, companies these days (especially during the pandemic) can no longer afford the luxury of development taking longer, even if it does mean the end result will most likely be cleaner and have less bugs. The company I work for see shipping potentially buggy code and fixing it as bugs are reported as an acceptable development practice.

With the advent of automated builds and deployment processes, it is way too easy to quickly ship code and roll back bad releases or push out emergency patches. Things don't have to be perfect the first or second time around. The optics to non-technical executives seeing code go out and features released are a lot better than seeing things take longer to develop.

How China Cloned Shanghai with Unreal Engine
I've never encountered a real OCaml project or anyone who uses it in my career (same is true for Haskell). I have assumed these languages are a hobby for CS academics and get used for pet projects by their devotees. Not that that's bad - they're interesting and the ideas are cool. I would just be afraid of locking myself into an isolated ecosystem that it's hard to hire experienced people for. Is anyone on HN actually using these languages for scientific computing, or other large production projects? Curious to know what the pros / cons are in practice and how common that is.
For that particular post, It is likely due to the political flame bait.

All we need to do is look at the numbers of deaths which occurred in the incidents we are talking about.

“In the deadliest attack on Latinos in American history, a 21-year-old white supremacist last August killed 22 people and injured 24 others at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas. In April, another white extremist went on a shooting rampage at a synagogue in Poway, California, killing one worshipper and injuring three others.”

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.voanews.com/usa/2019-deadli...

And so on.

Dylan Roof in 2015 murdering nine people who were at church, because they were black.

The right-wing crazy guy who murdered Heather Hayer by driving into a crowd at a protest against neo-nazis in Charlottesville in 2017

And so on.

To compare terrible attacks like that to the riots (separate from the peaceful protests) which have occurred, and destroyed property, but not killed people, is ludicrous.

And let’s not forget that people didn’t go into the streets for the fun of it - no one was doing anything until the police killed a man in cold blood, because he was black, exemplifying the racist violence (and domestic terrorism - look at the 1921 Tulsa race massacre - a mob killed at least 36, sent at least 800 to the hospital, and burnt a part of the city to the ground, leaving ten thousand black people homeless - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_massacre) which black folks have sadly faced for a long, long time now.

And which people are sick and tired of tolerating.

Certainly any ideology can produce violent extremists. But conservatism and the right in the US currently has a white-supremacist/far-right extremist problem which the left does not have right now.

Currently, its the far right and white supremacist ideologies which are producing domestic terrorists that attempt (or sadly, succeed) to kill people.

Currently, there’s not a US equivalent of the Baader-Meinhoff gang (german left wing domestic terrorists from the 60s/70s) of which I’m aware.

So I hope the FBI is spending the bulk of their domestic terrorism resources combating the groups which at this time pose the greatest threat to the lives of American citizens.

You use whatever (normally 2fa) method to login to the bank's page, OK the transaction, and are redirected back to the merchant's site.

You could, but you would have to move most of the app into WASM.

I think it's inevitable for WASM to replace JS eventually. We're just in the early days.

WASM has 2-5X performance advantage for "most" workloads. It also parses much faster and is more compact than minified JS. Eventually the performance advantages will be too large to ignore
