Well, the number of people killed by officers, and the number of officers killed in the line of duty are both metrics that have remained fairly steady. Overall violent crime rate looks pretty steady as well over the past decade, though it's much decreased from the 2000-2010 rates.

It's not a single-metric question though. Probably not just a 10-20 metric question either.
We took a part of this route (Warsaw to Hong Kong via Mongolia and China) with some friends during summer vacations in 2006. We even "accidentally" landed in Tibet for 2 weeks and visited the Everest Base Camp near Shigatse. The entire trip that took more than 2 months cost 2-3k USD back then. I was quite amazed by how different and cheap everything gets once you cross the border near Brest. Now when I'm writing this with one hand and holding my sleeping son in the other it feels like it was in a previous life entirely. Happy times. Too bad Belarus didn't change too much since then from what we hear.
>That officer made the judgment he did in a matter of seconds; as I noted in another comment here, I didn't have time to speak, or to take so much as a step toward the officer, before he waved me off - which was just as well in retrospect; God alone knows what I'd have said. But if any one aspect of the gestalt I presented had in any way varied from "harmless", he might well have drawn on me, and if he hadn't done that then he'd for damn sure have come over to see whether I was drunk or high or whatever the hell. And then he would have found my dope, and I would have gone to jail that night.

I don't see that as a "Thank God I'm White" outcome half as much as a "Thank God, he has something better to do!"

He could have been:
-Covering the exits of a hiding place of a known dangerous offender
-recon
-signaling someone or waiting for a signal from someone on the down low
-waiting on an informant
-up to no good in a part of town he shouldn't even have been on the beat in, and really not looking to explain why he was even there to make an arrest.
-on some other Op

To assume it was simply because you were white with no other data is really quite the knee jerk. Everything for a reason, and especially so with cops; a lone cop to boot.

Heck, you don't know. He might have been glad even if you were of a much darker complexion to see a brotha dressed for the office, pulling over and making every attempt to make himself easier to deal with rather than the alternative of a brotha in a trench coat/baggy clothes with a hand in his...oh shit!

Street wisdom is a thing. Supposedly, the better cops try to cultivate it amongst their numbers.

I get it's in vogue to assume that everyone is out to curbstomp the melanin enriched, but damn man. Cut the guy some slack. I mean he waved you off. Now I wish more cops extended the favor back, but, that's how it goes. Sometimes you get the ticket, sometimes you get let off the hook.
I'm in agreement with all the examples except #4. "Something went wrong" sounds purposely vague and almost like baby-talk to me. "An error occurred" is more concrete, indicating there's a specific problem that someone could put their finger on, and eventually fix.

Also, "We're here to help" sounds vapid and self-congratulatory, like all the "We're here for you" messages we're getting bombarded with during the pandemic. "Contact us for assistance" gets to the point and focuses on the action to take.

That is an excellent bit of insight on the topic. Thank you.
I think it'd also be productive to have community education on your rights and responsibilities with police.

You have rights, you don't have to do anything outside the law. But you do have to comply with lawful orders. If everybody understood these things, there would be much less trouble, fear, and violence.
I work closely with support teams and it's one of the toughest jobs in tech. I say toughest because it is stressful and the payoff for that stress isn't that high.

I still don't understand why companies treat support as a second class function to engineering. Engineering should in fact clamor to support to better understand customer issues and get them fixed and out of the way. I also find that support teams operate mostly on linear growth, meaning it is still a human scale problem. I don't see technology in the IVR/ticketing space innovating at the same rate as other areas.

IMO, the best alleviation for support is to avoid that customer call in the first place. Incentivize customers not to pick up the phone and call. It's a super hard problem to solve.

Needs something like StackOverflow for every problem domain, delivered over voice.
Better yet, PCem. It's a lower level approach, because it emulates the actual hardware (which also means that you have to hunt down the firmware for said hardware, install DOS on it etc). But when it comes to fidelity, it's as close to real metal as it gets - and it's very close indeed. They even have 3dfx Voodoo emulation, for those early Glide-only games.

I used to be a software engineer at a nonprofit that handled a lot of customer care requests. I wanted to see what frustrated our users, and I also wanted insight into how we could better support the customer care team. So I talked to the volunteer coordinator, took a day of PTO, and worked a shift in customer care. (Because I did it as volunteer work on PTO, my boss and project manager couldn't tell me not to do it.)

Reader, working in customer care blows. It sucks hardcore. From my engineering work, I actually knew what the cause of the problems were and understood the timeline for fixing them -- information that real customer care reps rarely have available to them, but even that wasn't enough to appease some people. Even when people weren't rude, just the never-ending barrage of complaints and problems that I had to fix wore me down. And I only worked one shift, and then went back to engineering the next day.

People who can do this day after day, retain their composure, and somehow not burn out from the nature of the work are awesome, and they have my respect. Their jobs are absolutely more difficult than mine.

I 100% share this sentiment, very well said.

It’s action oriented and optimistic but not naive.

Pessimists sound smart, optimists make money.

The doom and gloom mainly comes from the news media needing to sell ads to eyeballs. CNBC talked about the action that businesses were taking to increase face mask supplies while the mainline media did nothing but complain.

> The police have all the responsibility to de-escalate situations. If they're not doing that then they're the ones in the wrong.

I strongly disagree, and submit that a big part of the problem is this exact mentality.

Police should get gobs of training, they have to take the high road, they have to learn to not let their buttons get pushed, etc., etc. - all of those things are true. But the primary responsibility has always rested and should always rest on the shoulders of individual citizens that the police are interacting with. People need to be accountable for their actions.

I'm very sorry when anyone loses their life due to an altercation with the police, but the elephant in the room is that pretty much all of these are completely and easily preventable if people show even a smidgen of accountability for their actions. The common factors across victims of police shooting is not race, but (a) commission of a crime and (b) resisting arrest. Remove either from the equation and the death rate drops dramatically; remove both and it's virtually zero.

Yes, let's continue to figure out how to improve law enforcement. If we find actual instances of racism, let's work to eradicate them. Whatever problems exist in policing, let's study them and fix them. But let's not pretend for a moment that any real progress will be made while there is a pervasive attitude that crime and/or belligerence towards cops isn't a massive part of the problem.

Why does this study show that so many black people want the same or more police presence? Because the overwhelming majority of them (and everyone else) obey the law and, in the event they do interact with the police, refrain from punching them, fleeing the scene, etc.
This is whataboutism. Whenever someone criticises China, some guy comes out and says oh America does Y but worse. Not an argument.

As a customer, it's a painful experience when you realize the support people are in this position. I can't be mad at them, they're friendly and personable and they at least pretend to want to help, but it's obvious that they're unable to do anything useful. At a certain point (around the third three hour phone call, in my experience) it feels like they're mocking you with their saccharine lies, and I begin to loathe the company they represent.

I suppose if I was an entrepreneurial type, I'd try to disrupt industries like that by creating a company that charges extra to provide service that doesn't make customers want to spit in your face. Surely there's a market for that...
It was ad hoc and unplanned. That doesn't make for a good example of how police reform should work.
That’s very US centric. In every other place except America, credit card issuers mandate the use EMV’s and pin codes.
I like "Demilitarize the Police" personally.
I don't want to deprive them of that. Stop arguing in bad faith. The requirement stands out as extremely onerous and atypical. Look at most state pensions. Somehow, magically, most republicans only care about the USPS.
Having a demilitarised civilian police force maintaining order through the consent of the public has been a thing since the 1820s. I’d like to see how Americans would respond to a police force formed with a modern version of the peelian principles as its guiding rule set.

In my opinion a huge amount of damage has been done by the deliberate choice to act aggressively and quell the protests by ever greater force, and that damage has been done to the respect of the legitimacy of the power police forces hold. People aren’t going to cooperate with a force they see as an armed occupier.

I don't work on WebBundles, but I do work on open source web libraries, used by web developers, who often struggle to tie together tools to make up for the lack of asset bundling in the web. I care very much about this feature as a way to reduce complexity and friction for developers, fully unlock new web features, and improve UX via fast asset loading and better caching.

And I'm not making a "claim" out of thin air. The WebBundles spec is available for anyone to look at: https://wicg.github.io/webpackage/draft-yasskin-wpack-bundle...

WebBundles plug into the exiting request/response flow and allow a browser to fetch a response from the bundle instead of the server: https://wicg.github.io/webpackage/draft-yasskin-wpack-bundle...

It's effectively serializing a HTTP/2 stream. A browser doesn't have to fetch from the bundle and can fetch from the URL directly as well. Any processing currently done at the request/response level, like blocking, is still done on the request/response level.

There is an objective truth here that is not subject to conspiracy theories about the intent of Google.

WebBundles do not prevent content from being modified, and does not make web sites a "black box". That's just FUD, and I challenge you to point to where WebBundles do any such thing.

WebBundles are an archive format with an easily parsable index, and where it's easy to read individual files based on their offset in the bundle. The contents of WebBundles are individually processed, individually addressed by URL, individually populate the network cache.

If you have any evidence to back up your description of WebBundles as a black box, please provide it, because the fact on the ground do not support that assertion, and the article in question doesn't even directly claim that, even though it sneakily skirts around the issue by comparing bundles to PDFs. PDFs aren't modelled as a bundle of several responses, so the comparison is flat out wrong.
I do the same. The people I blame for bad service are always outside my reach.
“Abolish the police” isn't “abolish law enforcement” or even “abolish armed law enforcement”, but “abolish the centralize all-purpose paramilitart law-enforcement agencies that dominate local law enforcement (and, often, more than that, up to and sometimes including local politics) throughout the US. Its a call to radically redesign local government and community services and redesign how law enforcement fits into that, because of the perception not only that the current model is broken, but that decades of pouring money into reforms of police within the current model in response to problems has exacerbate the problems by draining resources from other priorities and forcing the police to expand the scope of their responsibility further out of the scope of their competency. Reform within the existing basic model being viewed as a failure leaves seeking a different model.
Quite the mental gymnastics you've done to put down an idea, while presenting no evidence as to why it won't work.

I have uBlock origin working just fine and I'm using the new Firefox Mobile. I agree with the assessment that you're spending FUD I'm afraid.
I feel the same way. Something about the mode of transport makes it so much more reassuring to me. Accidents even when they do happen seem to rarely impact passengers. Its usually things in the way of the train that meet unfortunate outcomes.

The Shinkansen has a perfect safety record and has been in operation for 53 years, carrying over 10 billion passengers. This is a train I could sleep on. It's probably safer than being in my house.
The rioting mobs who are blindly against police and using recent tragedies for broader politics leverage have gotten out of control. It was bad enough that their proposals for defunding are not what any community wants, as this Gallup poll shows.

But beyond the reckless and dangerous calls for defunding, the violence/theft/arson from the rioters and far-left groups that back them is just completely unacceptable. Just yesterday some of these rioters sealed in Seattle police using quick dry concrete while setting the precinct on fire:

You need to cut them some slack too, they're just human. Every doctor will think the part of the body they're responsible for is the most important.

Explain to me why any of this is necessary once HTTP/3 is widely adopted?

Isn't the whole point of HTTP/3 to "emulate" bundling without actually requiring content to be zipped up into a binary blob? Isn't it also quite good at caching, such as incrementally updating individual files without complexity? Isn't it also capable of pipelining a bunch of small logical files into a contiguous stream as-if they were in one big blob? Isn't the head-of-line blocking issue, which HTTP/3 solves, going to be a problem with monolithic web packages? What's next... WebPackage 2.0 with a yet another head-of-line-blocking-solution!?

This all feels like the left hand not talking to the right hand at Google.

It also feels like Google is perfectly happy to bloat web standards to the maximum extent possible given the size of their development team, permanently and irrevocably blocking anyone from ever again developing a web browser from scratch to compete with Chrome. Unless of course they can devote a few thousand man-years to the task. Which noone short of two or three companies can now.

I've never even heard of this "problem" that Google is trying to solve, but clearly Google is pushing very hard for it to be solved... for some unstated reason.

From the outside, this feels incredibly self-serving.
"On August 31, 2006, al-Awlaki was arrested with four others on charges of kidnapping a Shiite teenager for ransom, and participating in an al-Qaeda plot to kidnap a U.S. military attaché.[50][80] He was imprisoned in 2006 and 2007.[56] He was interviewed around September 2007 by two FBI agents with regard to the 9/11 attacks and other subjects. John Negroponte, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, told Yemeni officials he did not object to al-Awlaki's detention."

"n December 2008, al-Awlaki sent a communique to the Somali terrorist group, al-Shabaab, congratulating them."

"In March 2010, a tape featuring al-Awlaki was released in which he urged Muslims residing in the United States to attack their country of residence."

Look I'm no fan of drone strikes in general, but if you leave the United States to go join a terrorist organization and incite violence against the U.S. and other innocent people in other countries like Somalia..you clearly have lost Constitutional protection. We don't give trials for foreign terrorists or armies, that's a given.
And then see customers complaining about the annoying extra steps. 3D Secure affects conversion rates adversely which means customers are generally happier without it and don't mind the fraud risk (as is consistent with the rest of this discussion on the thread).
One offloads a large portion of rendering to the browser where as the other does it mostly on the server. Less processing on the server means less server costs. The former results in an API that can usually be repurposed more easily by other types of clients, such as Android and iOS apps. Also the API can usually be anything that responds to a HTTP request, such as Firebase, PostgREST, or even Airtable's API. Since the rendering is handled in the browser, the frontend can be placed any server that serves up static HTML, CSS, JS and images. Usually this is a CDN.

Of course all these things are really trade-offs. It's arguably much easier just to throw together some PHP and stick it on some LAMP shared hosting if that meets your needs. Or if you're more comfortable with server side languages, you'll be a fish out of water. If you don't know why you would need it, you probably don't.
There was no reference to the iPhone model in the Twitter thread that I noticed besides the logo, which could be an iPhone X.

The iPhone X is vulnerable to an unpatchable BootROM exploit (checkm8), which could bypass the need to even brute force.

In Japan:

For no annual fee card, Signup bonus without paying is around 1000-9000 JPY depending on running campaign. Some cards also offers bonus with paying, rate is vary but around 4-20% and max bonus is around 2000-10000 JPY.

I'm not very familiar but for annual fee card, signup bonus without paying is around 5000-30000 JPY and bonus with paying is similar rate and max is around 10000-100000 JPY.

To get max bonus, you should use cashback sites.

For transaction bonus, 0.5% return is basic (card from bank, gold card, random shop's card), 1.0% is standard for return-oriented card (like Rakuten, d-card), 1.2%-1.5% is top return-oriented card (like Recruit). Most return-oriented card is no annual fee.

* Now 3% is super prominent top return rate by LINE Pay card (that's no annual fee) but it's run by campaign until 2021/05.

Cards for airline is different story, maybe 1mile/100 JPY is good return on annual fee card (I'm not familiar but IMO airline card isn't majority due to less people travel to overseas).

Transaction fee for merchant is rumored below 2% for big player (like 7-11), around 3% is standard for real shops. Old contract may charges much more fee.

Big difference with US is that Most cards is monthly-clear style so less revenue from revolving credit fee. Card issuers trying hard customers to using revolving payment.

> I'm not talking about any particular implementation.

Sure, but this needs to map to some implementation in the real world to be a meaningful sentiment. Surely you are aware there is zero standard for the functionality you're referring to. This leaves you with recommending OpenMPI, the only reliable cross-platform implementation of the functionality.

If you don't care about cross-platform compatibility you might as well just hook straight into syscalls, which is referred to on linux (what you seem to be referring to) as shm.
with the change to chip & pin the liability was moved from the credit card companies to the merchants. (this is why banks pushed for it so hard)
If your focusing on policing, you're missing the point. The point is to direct funding away from enforcement and towards prevention.
