> As someone who used to work at a company that also was fairly well known for its 'cultish' culture, while I agree with your statement above, I also strongly believe that the modern corporate workplace is fundamentally incompatible with the sense of social belonging that humans need. Worse, many smart people take advantage of this need for a sense of belonging with the sole goal of making more money for rich people.

Totally agree with this and you should always draw a line between "work stuff" and "personal stuff." There's definitely a dark side here. However, I do think there's value in making your employees feel welcome and wanted.
A crocodile is a vicious wild animal. And in your analogy... the police are the crocodiles?

Sorry for being facetious, but the whole point is that people expect police to have some self-control (unlike an animal) and behave better in these situations. If you're a cashier, and a customer is yelling at you, berating you, taunting you, etc. you're expected to try to remain calm and attempt to de-escalate the situation - certainly you're not supposed to attack the person. If anything, police should be held to an even higher standard than this.
There's no irony there and it was not a "screaming mob". I'm concerned about your sources of information.

Chief Best stepped down after constantly lying about the police actions and the protesters for months. Best was hired against the recommendations of the federal consent decree that SPD is under because of repeated excessive force and racial profiling issues, hand-picked by the mayor. The reasons given for her stepping down are relatively boring and unlikely to be the real reason, which probably involves political calculus and the mayor.
I'm directly talking about Portland, where plenty of protestors have been knocked unconscious by police. People get pepper sprayed in the eyes for no reason besides cops are angry.

If you want to conflate places to strengthen a case then you need to dive in to what happened at Kenosha and the lack of police response to that tragedy or any of the others.

If you want to bring up how "protestors were asking for it" by showing up to protests then we got to ask if police are asking for mass nation wide protests by actively resisting change and harming black lives.

Well, I have to say, with TSA Precheck, security lines have tended to be less of an issue in recent years. When I was still traveling, I would get through security lines at O'Hare in under 10 minutes.

(that said, O'Hare ranks #1 in the country for fastest TSA lines, so there's that)

But travel on high speed trains (in Europe and Asia) is definitely a much more pleasant experience.
Simplicity Matters
Defunding the police has become very popular in the circles many HN commenters frequent, so it's interesting to realize just how niche of a position it is.
What responsibility do we have as a nation to reconcile our past actions that caused unmeasurable suffering for untold millions of people? Have we no courage, no sense of moral obligation to make things right?

The culture of black communities dealing with poverty and crime that you refer to didn't come from nowhere. It was not simply imported from 17th century Africa, in the way that the apple pie was brought over from England. It is a product of a people who were bravely struggling and striving to cope in the worst possible circumstances.

Brutally enslaved for more than 200 years, their literal chains finally removed, they continued to be viciously abused and systematically and savagely oppressed throughout the following century. They weren't event treated as fully human by the federal law until 2 generations ago. Only two generations! Many states had incredibly racist and oppressive laws even more recently than that. The most cursory research reveals an utterly depraved history. One simple and terrible example is redlining, which unfortunately was occurring even after the civil rights act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining).

We have a duty as a nation to attempt to heal the damage that we have caused. It is impossible to fully mend what we have broken, but we damn well better try.

I've seen cops get downright giddy over having an excuse to gas and beat a protest. One of them had a little smiley face on the end of their baton and was fully kitted in riot gear.
It seems feasible for us humans to make media directed for dolphins, but why?
What the OP said was that even with a 6 digit BIN and 1 digit check, you have 9 digits available per BIN.

For example, Mastercards start in the range 51 to 55. That leaves 4 digits of the 6 digit BIN to allocate to MC issuers. So that's a total of 50K issuers of MC world wide, then each of those issuers can have 1 billion cards.

So each issuer of a MC in Japan can issue a card to each member of the population and only use an eighth of their allocated range.

The problem isn't the individual card account ID, from the article, it sounds like Japan has been allocating too many BINs.

That's also a fair point in a slightly different manner as well -- Soldiers on patrol are heavily supervised. They have an officer and usually a relatively senior NCO who directs the majority of their actions.

LOTS of accountability there.
That's patently ridiculous. There's dozens and dozens of incidents like the videos I have listed below of police just brutalizing people, and they've done this to journalists too. Police are angry and want to violently stop protestors.

Pretty sure police officers nightly beating of protestors, pulling off masks and pepper spraying their eyes and assaulting reporters is a very direct attempt at quelling descent.

Why do you say that? The calls are for redistributing the funds to other municipal forces or programs.
> I always wondered what their plan would be to enforce those ideals without police

The plan is to replace the police with their own ideology enforcement system, which every totalitarian ideology does by necessity.

You can already see this in action. The defund the police proponents are aggressively pushing for building new de facto police structures that they would control (they won't call them police). The goal, as in all Marxist outcomes (happens every single time without exception), is to replace the existing power structures with new power structures that are aligned to the Marxist outcome they're pursuing and that will help enforce their aims and beliefs. The new police would be involved in things such as cultural & behavioral enforcement for example, they would not be narrowly focused on crime, they would be tasked at assisting the revolution.

They don't want to remove the police per se. They want to replace them. They want their own enforcement systems put into place, that they can control and that are aligned to their ideology. It is a cultural revolution attempt, plain and simple. This is why Antifa is at the center of the riots, they aren't anti-authoritarian, they're merely supposedly anti-Fascism, and they're universally pro-Marxism and openly violent (which tells you everything you need to know); it's nothing more than the escalation of the classic left vs right conflict, with Antifa being a violent militia wing for the extreme left.

No question - trump is the absolute worst republican you could run it seems. Short run I don't think republicans have a chance.

But feeling / being safe is CRITICAL to folks - they will accept dictatorships to gain safety. The whole abolish ICE / defund the police type platform seems a loser long run for the dems. I'm surprised Biden didn't make a stronger statement distancing himself form this. The violence is really toxic.

I'm a reliable dem voter and significant dem donor this cycle, but if you actually live or have lived in "tough" neighborhoods with higher crime (ie, have had your car broken into multiple times, stolen, experienced violence) then you really do start to prioritize safety.
> For example a worker in a gun manufactory can be civilly disobedient too by not showing up, slacking off, or intentionally making arms of subpar quality.

You can't just redefine words to suit your fancy because you don't like what the word actually means. That example you give is literally 100% not what civil disobedience means. Civil disobedience by definition means defying government, not your employer.
We are more animal than human. In other words, our emotional brain is far larger and far faster than the neocortex.

There are far fewer "adults" than you might think.

As one spiritual master said: "Most people tell you they want to get out of kindergarten, but don’t believe them. Don’t believe them! All they want you to do is to mend their broken toys. “Give me back my wife. Give me back my job. Give me back my money. Give me back my reputation, my success.” This is what they want; they want their toys replaced. That’s all. Even the best psychologist will tell you that, that people don’t really want to be cured. What they want is relief; a cure is painful."
Apple has for some reason licensed some of Klim type typefaces. If you are on latest version of OSX you can activate/download them from Fontbook.

I hated the police when I was younger and thought we'd be better with fewer police.

I don't believe that anymore. The emergence of body cameras are amazing because they show just how bad we're constantly being lied to. YouTubers like Donut Operator really opened my eyes.

I think back to my younger years and all the ways I've seen police go out of their way to do things they didn't need to. I've seem some do really shitty things too ... but overall, I think we need to remember they're human beings.

We're all just human beings, and most people join the police because they want to do the right thing. If many of these problem cities, police forces are composed of a large number of minorities too.

Especially during this time, let's try to remember we're all humans here.
I went with some Dutch Company called VNC Asia, I have no recollection of how I found them and their website doesn't even offer an English option anymore. It was 1235 Euros, which honestly was pretty good, although at the time I'd been living in China for a year so it was crazy expensive to me.

The tour was a great deal, my buddy and I got a private car with two guides and a driver dedicated specifically to us, so they spoke great English. I was hoping to see them in the blog linked above, but the only person I recognized was a woman in a military uniform at the museum - she showed us around the USS Pueblo.

It's crazy you can go there for 500 dollars nowadays, I wonder how travel has changed.

Ask HN: What are some good FOSS solutions for building a public roadmap?
What I'm looking for, ideally, is a FOSS solution which gives a docker image, that I can just point my website to and boom- Free public roadmap/feature upvote stack. (like one of those status page thingies but for roadmap)

The solution should let users sign up, add feature requests, upvote other requests, comment on them etc. Bonus point for letting the dev add different tags or put it in a kanban board (done, in progress, backlog etc.) - All of it with a public frontend.

Anything like this out there?
It will also spur practical applications to find solutions, not thinking of AGI.

I mean, they buy all kinds of military surplus or "tacticool" gear. Here's a random article going over a bit of it: https://www.tampabay.com/news/crime/2020/08/03/police-in-tam...

My police department should not be anywhere near militarized. It's inappropriate, wrong, and is a waste of funds because they should not be kitted out that way.

They bring out those vehicles during protests, among other things. People standing around chanting. Then they wait until curfew is over, maybe declare the assembly unlawful, and start using chemical weapons and intimidation on the crowd.
There's only one sleeper train between Hendaye and Lisbon, and it's this one [0]. It stays pretty close to the coast for the short distance from Hendaye to San Sebastián, and then turns inland. Due to the mountain Jaizkibel (which is beautiful up closer, but less impressive from a distance), you won't be seeing the Atlantic for long at all, unfortunately. You do get a view of the Tagus (river, and then it turns into a bay) for a little while as you come into Lisbon.

If you're looking for spectacular views, I'd probably recommend another sleeper train, to be honest.

Booking a good bit in advance is usually one good strategy for a lot of European trains if you want to save money. But there are plenty of other options. Slower trains, off peak times, budget brands like Ouigo etc. can make train travel very cheap. If you want the flexibility afforded by a Eurail pass, there are country-specific options that not only give more flexibility than Eurail, but are also cheaper and don't require a supplemental charge for most trains. Discount cards are another big one: you can easily get 20-50% off the "normal" price with some sort of discount card, like the Carte Jeune in France.

Good luck with whatever your train travels might be, and feel free to ask me whatever!

They've achieved many, though far from all, of their goals in various municipalities.

Why do you believe that a PR campaign is the only protest of value?

> The way you phrased it, the protests are nothing more than tantrums by oversized children.

That is in no way implied from how I phrased it. Pain and weariness from racialized murders and intimidation by cops is not a childish tantrum and I hope you never have to endure that pain yourself. I do hope that you find the empathy to consider their position.

> Tantrums should not be rewarded.

Please treat them like people.
In their planning what did the consider would be the response from the police? There is no oracle that says civil disobedience for cause X is just but cause Y is unjust. The police cannot simply allow it to occur so they will react with the amount of force needed to end it swiftly.

EDIT:

Downvote if you want but in the absence of an oracle to determine justness then you need to accept any group has the right to cause major disruption, such as blocking highways.

* Vegans
* Conspiracy theorists
* Radical churches
* etc

Maybe try formulating an appropriate response if these groups caused major disruptions to your city daily. How should the government respond?

The call for defunding the police isn't meant to cut their pay, or even to eliminate the police.

It's to stop sending police armed with lethal weaponry to scenarios that don't require it. Homelessness, poverty, drug abuse, and mental disorders are things that cops are not equipped to deal with, yet we send cops to deal with them. Defunding the police means to stop sending cops to those instances and instead funnel the money into social programs to deal with them.
Hmm, settimeout is one shot, setinterval is the repeating one, unless that’s calling itself recursively?

This court case isn’t about whether AI can invent things. It’s about whether AIs can receive patents.

Normally, non-natural persons (a funny legal way of saying organizations) can do anything natural people (human beings) can do under the law (e.g. file lawsuits, sign contracts). However, there are some privileges that are reserved only for natural persons, and one of those is receiving patents (which can later be transferred to any entity).

Plainly, the AI is not a natural person. It can certainly invent things, but the government doesn’t choose to grant it a monopoly for manufacturing said inventions.

This ruling does not in any way suggest that you can’t patent an invention created by an AI. All you have to do is say that the AI is a tool that you, the inventor, used.

Just because you used an AI to create an invention doesn’t mean the AI gets the patent, anymore then Microsoft Word gets a copyright on what people type in it.
Or just, you know, slice longitudinally.
Very true! And you can even be a good project manager and be nice about it. For example, setting clear expectations, working together toward deadlines, etc.
To addresses? Mostly pointless. To a larger number space that had non-numeric representation, genius and probably inevitable.

If we allow for the representation to be 0-9 and then another ten letters selected for uniqueness and clarity, overlapped with appropriate non-roman pictographs, etc, the same 16 characters jumps to 600 quintillion range, or about 60 bits by napkin math.

That's more than realistically enough for hundred billion people to each have millions of real payment IDs with millions more one-time use ones that contained some sort of transaction hash for authorization.

Which conveniently fits in a 64 bit word with some left over. I suspect someone involved in the payment space already figured that out a long time ago, but no cataclysmic event has yet happened to de-rail the existing money train.

If you wanted to do that in IPv6 you'd still have the upper 64 bits left over :)
