Unless we've been living under a rock, I think you, me, and the parent poster are well aware of what kinds of institutional problems police in the United States[1] have. Those institutional problems push the individuals that work for police forces into one of three directions - becoming 'bad cops', closing their eyes in response to observing the behaviour of 'bad cops', or being censured and pushed out of their jobs by bad cops.

When I observe one cop, without warning, throwing a grenade into a peaceful crowd (Not for any particular purpose. Not to make an arrest. Not to move the police line. Not to enforce an order to disperse, because no order to disperse was made. Just cruelty for the sake of cruelty.) and ~20 cops standing around him not doing a single thing about it, I think that the entire group has shown us a lack of good faith. The thrower for assaulting the public, and the rest of them for not doing a damn thing to stop him.

It's possible that there are a few departments that, when their culture is tested like this, will do the right thing. The large metro area departments that have been tested, though, have consistently failed - as have most of their suburbs. (In all fairness, the Bellevue (WA) Police Department for example has (so far) handled the protests reasonably and avoided serious controversy for their past behaviour. Their colleagues across the water in the Seattle PD, though, have demonstrated a complete inability of, as an institution, behaving with any integrity.)

[1] And yes, this thread is about Canada. And yes, Canada has similar institutional problems - despicable Vancouver and Toronto PD behaviour at the G20 protests, decades of blatant and systemic racism against First Nations persons (The Highway of Tears, and the Pickett farm murders is a systemic example of racism-by-inaction, while problematic day-to-day interactions are systemic examples of racism-by-action), excessive use of force (In Vancouver, the Dziekański affair - and the follow-up behaviour of the officers involved), etc, etc.

Wikipedia [1] tells me that most tornadoes are less than 250 feet across, and even the biggest tornadoes are only 2 miles wide.

So basically the area of effect they have is similar in size and shape to a roadway.

Yes, you don't want a tornado landing on you. But two blocks over it'll be nothing more than a windy day.

Perhaps you should lose some more respect for tornadoes as well :)

It would be just some one-time outliers, except there are real problems where overtime is counted towards retirement, and workers actively inflate their last years just to bump up their pensions and retirement pay.

>the phrase should be "there is no ethical consumption

I can think of at least some ways in which consumption might be more ethically neutral.

After a natural disaster, you often see communities band together to meet each others needs however they can. In a way, this mirrors how many native cultures approach production and resource distribution. Accepting the resources I need or providing for other's needs according to my ability certainly isn't unethical.

There is something fundamentally different about the nature of consumption in economies based on maximizing exchange value vs meeting greatest needs. Otherwise, you likely need to defend the increasingly controversial position that markets maximize utility greater than any alternative.

I worked for 5 years in a media company(vix.com) and as a Team Lead I was responsible of maintain and improve the platform that supports all the operations of the company.

We delivered content through several channels (vix.com website, Instant Article, Google Accelerated Mobile Pages, and several feeds to social networks and devices). We went from a heavily-customized Drupal to a custom NodeJS solution with microservices reducing devops costs, enhancing website performance and finally improving the time to add new channels from an average of two week to 8 hours.

I wonder what the price would've been without AMD dipping their toes into the GPU market again.

I very much assume Nvidia slices price, to not only compete but also crush the AMD GPU market. Nvidia's innovation is crazy huge, but they probably don't want to be in the same situation as Intel where people regard the big dog as slow, profit-extracting. Nvidia will do it's best to eat as much market share with better products over AMD('s GPU.)

As someone who speaks a latin-derived language, "in vivo" and "in vitro" are immediately easy to infer from context. There's nothing about latin/greek that is pompous: we use words like "dentist" and "plumber" and any english speaking person knows what they mean. Personally, I believe english is the lingua franca of the world precisely because it has a large number of appropriations and thus a very large and diverse vocabulary.

Rather than expecting specialists to water down their vocabulary to cater to the uninitiated, it seems more reasonable to expect that science journalists should instead learn said jargon and learn how to interpret studies and abstracts properly. I'd go a step further and even argue that a highly educated society ought to encourage and celebrate cross-discipline learning not just by media reporters but by every individual, rather than expect everyone to meet at a mediocre common denominator.

So it seems that the 3090 will be priced at 1499$. This is kind of insane.

EDIT: For people comparing this to the Titan RTX, no. This GA102, not GA100. It's the cut-down version of Ampere. GA100 will come out, and it will be even more expensive.
I learnt "why privacy matters" from this Glenn's TED: https://www.ted.com/talks/glenn_greenwald_why_privacy_matter...
That would definitely be a breaking change. I had some Python code that broke when running over the Boost source code because they include a test file in there that isn't valid UTF-8, so the files definitely exist. Admittedly that's a fairly contrived example (i.e. the deliberately didn't use UTF-8). Maybe it wouldn't be so bad in practice.
GitHub Container Registry
We have a test environment with this taken to the extreme at work, i.e. integration tests where the whole codebase softly fails and continues whatever happens. IMO the drawbacks are worse than the upside of seeing more errors. Now one errors ends up giving you a lot of failing soft assertions after the first failure which are not useful at all. There is certainly benefit to being able to go through a failure, but it seems better handled at the framework level rather than writing the tests with this in mind. There's already enough unknown in the tests to add possible earlier failing assertions.

It already exists it part of the process mining+ monitoring box.

This kind of system are already used to both optimize business processes and conformance check then by organizations like banks and hospitals.

Through tools are currently focused mainly on the use case for process optimization and regulation conformance checking less so for irregularity detection but tools like that exists to. I think to remember SAP has some form of self learning/calibrating irregularity detection "service"/tool.

So it's less about creating it then about spending Mony on it and from scratch up analysing your internal thread model.

I already expected AMD to only compete in the low and mid level range.

It looks like the arms are just here for controlling the direction, the jets look supported by a belt attachment: https://youtu.be/aFQSFke0wFc?t=35

That video was one link down in the article, several other interesting concepts are shown, that generally seem to be platforms with thrusters.

I feel like a more practical design could be something a bit like "falcon" in the avengers: back-mounted thruster that gives a lot of forward thrust, with deployable delta wings à la jetman. Since the thrust is forward, you'd need something to right up for landing. Either with a physical movement, or aerobraking above the center of gravity (could be using the wing?).

For now, designs that only rely on thrust, and not lift, are probably doomed by their fuel efficiency and noise.
Rendering Hyperbolic Spaces [video]
That would make a lot of sense given the topic at hand. Thanks for the clarification.
AFAIK, the goal is "now things are different", and the tactic at play is "be unignorable".

The impression I've always gotten is that what you're permitted to do when you're doing a legal protest is to minimize the disruption it has, which is (IMO) within epsilon of "make it as ignorable as possible".

Ohio might have a more centralized city center, where LA doesn't, or have other forms of "center" the way the transit system in LA is "central" to the metropolis.

> If the test is in a invalid state then you can't trust soft asserts that pass.

Agreed, which is why I suggest designing each test for a single target state.

That target may then legitimately benefit from multiple assertions, and you have the same problem.
Generally you need to have a minimal number of employees that form the committee of a new union. You register at the Court, inform your employer. Anyone who wants to be represented by the union can join you. The employer must inform you about organisational changes / salaries / etc. You can add your union to a confederacy of unions, biggest of which has a place at the tripartite table during Labor law updates - so it's the state, employer groups and labor unions deciding about yearly wage increases.
