Just to be clear-- you're arguing for the person's financial status to determine whether or not they see their family, not their crime.

...I would rather see 10 guilty people flee before their trial and escape justice, than see one innocent person get stuck in jail pre-trial because they couldn't cough up the cash for a bail bond, causing them to lose their job and ruin their life.

This is why poor black neighborhoods are crime ridden and victimized. You would have the law abiding citizen of these poor areas subject to 10 criminals roaming the streets for the symbol of 1 person not subject to cash bond.

Your own efforts to believe in racial justice by any means undermine the outcome itself.

Super cool and thanks for this! I commented a few weeks ago on how it'd be nice to have a git CLI that actually helps you find the command you're looking for because you don't really know what to search for unless you know what command to use with git. It's sort of this chicken-and-egg problem that this seems to help solve.

Cash Bail is a regressive tax upon the poor and those whom law enforcement selectively target.

Secondary points, the social movement. I strongly agree that Police REFORM is necessary. At least in the US things are bad enough that a not-small portion of the population feels the police are out to get them, or at best unlikely to be a positive influence on any outcome. Peace Officers are necessary. A recognition that many situations require de-escalation and a variety of social outreach to achieve the best results for both society at large and the individuals involved.

Believe in reform and redemption, and apply it to everyone and everything.

If you seek the truth, diversify your sources and don't take article from 2013 or even 2000 when talking about energy and grid.

For wind power he is taking the example of a wind turbine of 175 kW of nominal power... Most onshore turbine are 10 more powerful, and Siemens Gamesa has a 14 MW offshore turbine in the works

For storage, he is taking totally stupid hypothesis (nobody want to use 100% onshore old wind turbine with no change to the current demand and 1 week of total backup), and one old technology, and is never mentioning demand response or thermal storage...

A 100% renewable grid, would require big (profitable) energy efficiency investment, big investment in thermal storage and demand response, some onshore wind, some offshore wind, some solar facing different direction, some biomass, a bit of geothermal power when available, and hydro power like now... Some smart grid and a bit of electrical storage (many different technology available).

In USA - currently yes. In many countries there is still unvoluntary army draft.

If I was sure that I could get killed for morally valid reasons (like defending my homeland, your moral validity may differ) and not to defend oil execs exploiting poorer coutries, I would have less objections. I'm rather convinced that we will have some big war soon and I'll try to help defend my country first with my skills and if that's not enough, then at least as cannon fodder. BTW, I'm not from USA, we had forced draft until several years ago.

There are multiple strawpeople in your argument.

1. There are people from those actual communities asking and fighting for those things. You are assuming only suburban white advocates.

2. Cash-bail: "It's not like the cash bail system was some ridiculous fanciful notion that someone created to torture the poor." Who is saying that. The linked article is first and foremost concerned with the effect of cash-bail i.e. it affects poor people more negatively that it does rich people. It's broken system. Perhaps something like Finland's salary-based speeding ticket system would work well (but should incorporate wealth has many rich people don't have salaries).

3. Dismantle the police: the idea here is that armed police are now involved in situations where that is not required. Not only is it expensive and inefficient, but it has horrible outcomes. It's the old "if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail" problem. "They need more police presence and enforcement of law and order for their neighborhoods, not less." This has not been proven to work.

This right here is the problem. Addressing this would probably solve the bail issue too.

> The irony of this statement is astounding

Care to spell it out?
By that argument, any kind of "make work", doing something pointless, provides value to society as a side effect.

For example: Consider a job going to the office to write on pieces of paper and then throw those pieces of paper into the incinerator so nobody will ever read what was written.

Sounds pointless. Is it "providing value"?

By your argument yes: All those people were paid and can now support their families. The paper makers made paper and advanced the state of the art in fine paper-making, as did the pen makers and the ink makers. The incinerator is looked after, and it keeps new incinerator designers in work. All the fuel which is mined to run the incinerator keeps miners busy. All the commuting to the office and back keeps train operators busy.

And yet, going to the office to write things on paper and then destroy them repeatedly does seem rather pointless.

Also they note that there is no chromatic aberration. It’s obvious, mirrors present no chromatic aberration. Instead I don’t see any mention about spherical aberration, that is a typical problem in spherical mirrors.

> What do you suggest as an alternative to bail bonds?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but cash bails are pretty rare globally, and the normal way of going about this is: if you are dangerous/risk interfering with the investigation/a flight risk (Meaning not just "not show up" but actually leave the country, such as foreign citizens), then you await trial in jail. If you are not, then you don't.

That’s why I’m such a huge proponent of company sponsored open source.

You wrap your infra/core functionality into an os project, and keep the businessy things in the private repo.

You get to work on it during your work hours. It inevitably ends up much better documented and tested code than the usual company developed tooling. And you get to keep it when you leave.

No need to spend time on it at home if you don’t want to.

And the company benefits as well as it now has much better internal codebase, people might consider maintaining it even after they’ve left the company, and it acts like a pr/recruitment hook.

FLT_EPSILON is the difference between 1.0f and the next float. With that we can work out the math:

- If you add 1.0f to FLT_EPSILON then you get an exact result
- If you add 1.0f to FLT_EPSILON * 0.5 then you get a number that cannot be represented and it will either round to 1.0 or 1.0+FLT_EPSILON
- Similarly, if you add 0.5f to FLT_EPSILON * 0.25 then you get a number that cannot be represented and it will either round to 0.5 or to 0.5 + FLT_EPSILON * 0.5

With the default rounding mode that last calculation rounds to 0.5. There are a _lot_ of floats below FLT_EPSILON.
Analysis Finds True US Pandemic Death Toll Is Much Higher Than 200k
> left is generally also opposed to market freedom and property rights

How much is this patently true and how much of the left in the US is really against market freedom? What are you encompassing with "the left" here?

Social democracies here in Europe are nowhere close to opposing market freedom and property rights. The opposition is mostly to complete unregulated markets, nothing much further than this at the moment. Even here in Sweden, which the media and people in the US like to paint as "socialist", is very far from being socialist... To the point where it's more a market economy with socialist ideas tackled on (welfare, comprehensive healthcare, free education, etc.) to disrupt markets that are inefficient or monopolistic in nature.

The left don't even exist in the US, whenever I hear an American repeat what I quoted I laugh a little bit inside, it's a strawman based on thin air and fears for the most part.
This story comes up occasionally and is always misrepresented. Nowhere in the article does it say all knives with points. Nor did the government consider it, beyond being asked to comment on the journal article.

The proposal was from a hospital research group who argued that many stabbings are impulsive and that long knives cause extremely serious penetration injuries. So they suggested banning those knives for home use, or at least blunting the tips.

The response to this is usually "well people could sharpen them?" and sure, but the purpose is risk mitigation. You'd still be able to buy a smaller pointed knife if you wanted.

> The researchers said a short pointed knife may cause a substantial superficial wound if used in an assault - but is unlikely to penetrate to inner organs.

They allegedly consulted with chefs who agreed that if you really need to use the tip, a paring knife would be OK. Anecdotally I'd agree - the only thing I use the tip of my chef's knife for is for opening packaging.
