In this case though it actually looks like he was given an overdose when considering his body weight, and he suffered the cardiac arrest enroute to the hospital, not on site. Coroner suggests drug reaction, the hold or asthma attack might have all played a role in the death.

Also the recorded audio sounds like he was pleading with the officers and compliant, not that he needed further restraint or sedation.
Can I use the same database to pull from multiple sources? And

Agree, you should keep balance here. Between something very competitive and something non-competitive at all.

Consulting in particular really depends on the company. The big 4 will grind you to the bone, but boutiques often pay better and have much more reasonable expectations of time commitment. I don’t see consulting ever going back to the weekly travel model, and during the pandemic I work maybe 30 hours a week while pulling in the salary I do. Most of my work involves going to meetings, understanding complex business architecture and providing advice around niche topics while working within the politics of a various org. Pulling in a salary+bonus in this range with very little risk on my part.

You need to supplement for that anyway. Whey protein is best, but the purely vegetarian ones can work as well.

Both are substantially lower impact than meat protein.

> Prestige can take the ambitious far, but it can't bring them excellence.

Some people just want high social status, they really don't give a shit about 'excellence', unless excellence is absolutely necessary to achieve high social status and it isn't - going to the right school and working at the right job at the right company is enough.

If you know anyone with immigrant parents who value 'education', you already know what they actually value is high social status regardless of everything else, including the child's happiness.

What you spent a whole lot of words describing is a narrow case of a more general human phenomena that has a name - tragedy of the commons.

There isn't a cure, because most people don't want a cure - that's why it's a tragedy :)

The M1 Mac Mini supports one external display on the Thunderbolt port and a second one on the HDMI display. There are probably limitations on simultaneous resolution and refresh rates. This iteration of the M1 was not designed to handle large amounts of I/O. I would expect a more advanced version (M1X/M2) sometime in the next 6-12 months. That iteration will likely support 4 thunderbolt ports, multiple external monitors and larger RAM limits. That’s the one that Apple would use in iMacs and the other MacBook Pros.

I do wish that Apple would go ahead and release a 27” 5K display for the current machines. The 6K is way overkill and there are no good options for monitors >4K. They are probably waiting for the new iMacs with a new design language to put out a matching monitor.

> that sounds like something with whatever identity server you're using.

The relationships between the home server, identity server, and client on Matrix are not made clear in any user friendly way in the Matrix documentation for homeserver operators so I can't imagine it's clear for end users either.

It's one of the things that I think keeps killing Matrix. Now let's see if Arathorn shows up to tell me how wrong I am. Wouldn't be the first time. Nothing inspires confidence in the maturity of a product like a CEO that joins discussions to tell users who've had bad experiences that it was their fault for not understanding the documentation. That's how Facebook got so big, don't you know?

I'm absolutely obsessed with chat solutions like Matrix and Arathorn probably doesn't remember me but I remember his attitude towards my feedback.
> No, I mean the actual starting salaries based on employment data from universities themselves tell us there’s only a marginal difference in those who graduate between the institutions.

> If the model changes, a new view is generated, so your message should take that into account.

You don't have any guarantees about when that will occur though. Updates and view rendering are run independently.

I have an application that tracks mouse movement using pointer events for the user to draw, and I've definitely had a message from that come through after my model has updated and I'm no longer on that screen (and so nothing in the view generated from the model should produce that message), so it definitely can happen, even if you haven't encountered it.

Even if you don't encounter it that way, there are a bunch of footguns using this approach (e.g: doing this with tasks, HTTP requests, anything that has a defined delay before the message comes back).
I think there's something to this idea. even in the most dangerous places in the US, the vast majority of criminals are not likely to shoot at police on purpose. cop killers almost always get caught and convicted (if they survive long enough to get to court), while in some cities the odds of getting away with killing a civilian free and clear are over 50%. certainly there are some enforcement roles where weapons aren't needed. for instance, if you need a gun to feel safe confronting a driver over a broken brake light, maybe it's just not worth pulling them over to begin with?

in general, I think there ought to be more parity between what cops are allowed to carry and do to defend themselves and what is available to civilians. if every patrol car needs an ar-15 in the trunk to safely traverse an area, shouldn't people who actually live there be allowed to at least carry a pistol? or alternatively, if it's not okay for a civilian to carry any sort of firearm, why should it be okay for police?

I totally agree that this trend is dumb. It doesn’t even pass very common sense checks. Just because its numbers doesn’t make it a good signal. Anyone can cherry pick numbers that make their contribution look godlike. Oh I improved the loading time of our internal tool by 1000% by applying very basic optimizations I googled 5 minutes before that no one had bothered to do since it’s low priority.

Especially at smaller companies where you can easily 100-10000x specific things that no one has had time to optimize yet since they haven’t been top priority. To a smaller extent at big tech but the point is that optimization numbers without a great amount of context is completely meaningless (like the parent said)
FWIW, it does work on Windows 95 (at least in QEMU). Old builds of Windows 95 might need msvcrt.DLL, but that’s it as far as dependencies go. It did require a custom build of libSDL with a few tweaks.
But you don't need numbers for that. A simple "increased user engagement by refactoring our front-end in React" is more than enough; it tells me that the goal was to "increase user engagement" (that's the greater goal, nice!) and that you know (hopefully) your way around React (tech stuff, nice!). The number strikes me as bs.
Is this really true, though? There are different types of job functions involved in designing and producing a new generation of a processor. Perhaps they have a tiered system wherein they will retain key talent by compensating it right?

Second, if you are a PhD in this area (a hybrid of Computer Engineering and Computer Science, and I believe that a PhD in this area is the minimum qualification for this type of work) then you do not have a large pool of employers to choose from in the first place, so any employer that's competing for folks from this group will likely end up with a decent number of talented people anyway.

Well, "expect" might be a strong word, but not only have Intel's CPU timelines been routinely slipping for years, the generational improvements have been kind of pedestrian for years (relative to Intel itself when you go back to the early 2000s). Intel has been behaving like they have no real competition for over a decade, and what they were shipping became their "normal performance growth curve" -- I don't think they took either Apple or AMD seriously.
After this embarrassing episode, I don’t see how he could show his face again.
Which historians is he referring to here?

It is no real secret that as a discipline, military history is sometimes held in low regard by other historians.

The crux of his argument is that military history needs to be studied so that we can have less wars. He throws shade at other historians for looking down on military history. But as a total outside to this debate, who am I to trust?
There have been a ton of products where Google didn't initially support that but eventually added it. Maybe Nest will one day.

Obviously their sign-in/account infrastructure creates technical impediments against making their products do what they want. They should really fix that.
Wow, I’m super happy to see folks interested in my little project! I was inspired to do this thanks to a challenge posted to Twitter. It was fun putting together this binary and learning more than I thought I was going to learn about DOS extenders and the PE format. Happy to answer any questions!
Great! Question: When 64K DRAM first appeared, I remember a cover article in EDN(?) claiming that nothing denser could ever be built, because cosmic radiation would zap individual electrons, and thus flip bits too frequently, and there was nothing you could do to protect from it. So, how was that thinking wrong?
"X bad thing could happen" is an bad argument because it can be applied to literally any scenario. I could choose not to go get groceries because it's a great idea, until I get hit by a car.
Those discs aren't going to do you much good if you don't have access to or have had access to PSN, since most games ship with a huge day 1 patch to fix all the issues between going gold and the date of sale.

Movies/Music/Books can be displayed and played back on damn near anything. Games, especially modern games, exist in both a variable state (constantly revised/updated), but also with a much more limited ability to access the content.
No, they make new law all the damn time.

For example, there's is no written definition of murder in Michigan. Look it up if you don't believe me. I can't cite a link, because there's nothing to cite. The penalties are in statutes, but the actual definition isn't. It's illegal because it's just assumed that it is and courts have made the definition through case law.

It's become less necessary to cite over time for obvious reasons, but court decisions from England from before 1776 are still valid opinions to cite in American courts as the source of law as well.
Also isn't E2EE new to Matrix? My understanding is also that they don't handle group privacy the same way that Signal does (which granted, is a new feature as well). I'll also say that in a space that is evolving quickly, a centralized system where I can know that people are on a version similar to me is pretty important. I don't have any fear of Moxie turning and pushing backdoor keys into everyone's app.
How can i integrate an existing user base with a matrix homeserver?
You could imagine the division responsible for mobile chip design to be of similar size to a mid-sized company like SpaceX. The optics are the same. You're right Intel is massive - the logistics department at Intel doesn't have any friction with the teams tasked with mobile chip design.
A lot of Linux-y people, including myself, reject Matrix. It's not the solution it claims to be.

I could write a list of criticisms of Matrix's software products, organization, and track record, but the main problem is that we want an ip-native comms tool that's /actually/ decentralized.

Matrix is Open Source, federated, self-hosted Slack (plus voice calls). That's great, but that leaves you needing to trust a homeserver admin or host your own homeserver. Putting aside that there STILL isn't a finished homeserver implementation, you'll have to rely on a third party no matter what. Either it's hacker Joe (the admin of your homeserver), or the server hosting company that hosts your homeserver, or the DNS registrar who legally has to have your real identity...

It may be theoretically possible to host a homeserver without a domain name, but you'd still need to register your real name with an ISP to get a static IP.

Freedom from this kind of control should be baked into the software. Plenty of teams have tried it (retroshare, Scuttlebutt, etc.) but unfortunately none of them are quite there yet.
Apple uses their authority to revoke certificates on macOS to further their own business interests in direct conflict with those of their users [1]. They have already demonstrated that they will abuse this trust, and use it to control what software people will use on their macs in a similar way as they do on iOS.

So no, they don't do it well.

Because there are actually two goals, not one:

1. To have enough money to survive an emergency no matter what.

2. To maximize long-term net worth on average.

I was only talking about 1. You are talking about 2. But, to address your point: yes, stocks can indeed go down, but on average they go up. Sometimes your emergency will coincide with a good stock market. You're literally choosing the worst possible situation and then saying "see, this strategy doesn't work!". But I'm actually being very careful with my words here. I am saying: mathematically, backtesting with real data and with monte carlo simulations, you will maximize your long-term net worth on average if you forgo the EF after a certain net worth level.

Consider also the original comment I replied to talked about investing on margin while simultaneously having an EF. Which, if you're against me forgoing an EF, you must really be against investing on margin while having an EF: That's kind of the same to what I'm currently doing, only paying interest for it!

Oh yeah. I can eat rajma like pad thai: until I'm foodcomatose. Indian food is phreak'n awesome.

I really don't want to live too long because I'm predestined to get ARMD, prostate cancer, and probably colon cancer too. I'd rather carpe diem and die well.

> the greater opportunity there is for a manager to take wealth

Pieter Hintjens (creator of ZeroMQ) wrote a lot about this, and how organizations from big companies to small charities to software projects ought to design their internal structures of roles, titles, voting, auditing, to defend themselves against this kind of attack. Particularly if there's any kind of treasury, an opportunist will become tempted to take that role, but any kind of credit will attract people who want to take the credit without doing the work, power structures will attract people who want the power, and programmers who "just want to code" and avoid politics will find themselves at the bottom of a dysfunctional infected organisation structure with no power, no credit, and being instructed by distorted requests.

IIRC he tried to design the ZeroMQ organisation so that there wasn't any way for one person to insert themselves in a key point.

I'm not sure where on his blog I was reading that, but it's related to his writings about psycopaths[1] as the opportunists, and might be part of his book Social Architecture[2]

Can't we just wait till they run out of money for all the free services they are currently giving away ?

Next they will try to agressively monetize their user base, which will make people migrate to something else - ideally self hosted or federated & based on open protocols this time.

As I note in my other comment, this approach is fundamentally unsound in Elm.

The view is generated in its own thread synced to the browser's rendering system. It is entirely possible for the model to have changed without the view having been updated yet to match.

If your model changes under your feet while you use this approach, it result in you silently overwriting that change with the old data.
The bad part is that you are going to have to pull money out of the market at the worst time, when prices are way down.
Not for 2020-2025 intel. For reference, Satya Nadella became Microsoft's CEO in 2013.
Yes, but torpedoes are meant to blow up after firing. Ships aren't.

The torpedoes don't have to withstand 60 years of supercavitation damage (unlike ship propellers do, which already can't, and need frequent maintenance and replacement)

(also this has nothing to do with supercavitation, it's just a regular bubbler at the bottom of the ship that lets air rush to the surface around the hull)
The classic disruption story is clearly important here as is the pattern of recent failings by Intel. There have been other factors though that contribute to a more complex story:

- The availability of third party IP (Arm CPUs and originally Imagination GPUs) and manufacturing (Samsung and TSMC) that have allowed Apple to pick and mix to build its own SoCs.

- The fact that Arm has clearly been much more focused on power efficiency which might mean it has IP which Intel can't access (speculating here but we have big.LITTLE).

- Possibly the most importantly, the the benefits that Apple gets from being able own the whole stack and design SoCs that precisely match its needs.

As a result I'm a bit sceptical about whether Intel would have got Apple's mobile business long term given that market's eventual structure: the advantages of Apple's current approach are just too great.
I lived a while under the flight path near the airport. My main memory of inconvenience is they would drown out the dialogue of whatever you were watching on TV for about 30 seconds. There was a park behind the house next to the chequer board where the planes passed so close you could see the rivets.
In central Europe, public universities that are free for all are the norm, sometimes even for foreigners (other EU citizens are not even considered foreigners). For-profit schools are often of questionable quality, serving those who couldn't pass the bar of the easiest of the free public schools, or are unable to make the minimal commitment to pass them, but still want the diploma. It doesn't help that these for-profit schools try to fake prestige very hard (as opposed to the 1000-year old public universities that indeniably are prestigious, in a different way).

Overall yes, schools known only for their claims of prestige, as opposed to their academical merit, are looked down upon.
Not sure how the word "pimp" which means to coercively or forcefully exploit a person (particularly for sex work), ever became acceptable for polite conversation. I'm even more disappointed it's used to mean "making something better".

If you read into the psychology of why "pimps" (particularly of the Harlem variety) dressed flamboyantly you'll be even more disgusted.
When people say “dopamine”, I don’t usually interpret as them literally meaning dopamine. I think at this point in common speech it serves as a shortcut for saying “chemically based rewards“.
The vast majority of potential HN analysis can be done in SQL alone within BigQuery, which is the proper way to handle a data warehouse regardless.

https://www.microcovid.org/ is a similar tool, with more knobs to adjust risk factors (distance, outside vs inside, the other person's risk profile, etc.). Friends living in shared apartments have used it to budget, estimate and manage their risk from different activities. Seems like a neat tool.
This is a weirdly reductive take. Any new technology can be better in some aspects and worse in others. (To use your car/horse analogy: cars are much faster and have increased standards of living, but they have also had large negative effects on society and the environment.)

And it's a poor analogy because driver licensing is almost a straight consequence of how dangerous cars are, but the openness of an SoC does not directly follow from how fast it is.
