There are some limited situations where an uncontrolled moving car is less dangerous then a controlled car being actively used as a weapon. For example, in the 2016 Nice truck attack if a police officer had a clear shot at the driver should they have avoided taking the shot?

Sometimes that's a preferable outcome to the alternative. The North Hollywood shootout is an extreme example, but it illustrates the point; if bank robbers in a car are shooting at everybody they see, the cops shooting back at them is the only reasonable response.

This doesn't mean cops should be making a habit of having high speed shootouts on freeway; nobody wants that. It means the rules need to allow reasonable leeway for people to do what they think is appropriate in the unique situations they encounter. Blanket bans enacted by people reasoning about generalized scenarios are not a good idea. Those sort of absolute rules are too simplistic to be good for anything other than pandering to crowds.
I like to describe myself as "mostly vegan".

When talking to others I urge them to see, like I do, a long continuum between eating 100% only meat and consuming 0% of animal products. I recommend people reflect on their values (causing pollution and animal suffering) and aim to decrease consumption of animal products to whatever level they are comfortable with. It can be a long process, and we all should be more supportive in helping people align their actions with their values.

Needless to say these kinds of conversations are better when the person is receptive and interested, not when you first meet them.
OP here. This is exactly right: "I feel it's important for technical interviewers to have some experience with STAR/behavioral interviewing. This assists with screening/selecting resumes and exploring these areas in interviews."

Game programming, novel sound synthesis, and RL in a single Python library
From the rest of the thread, everyone uses time selection, power selection, and stop. The pizza button, defrost setting, etc., I've not seen anyone mention across a few dozen comments (though I didn't do a thorough study).

I'd venture to add that a clock config button might also be appreciated by many even if you use it only after power outages and so people don't realize they want it.

My previous microwave had a +30s/start button, power selection, and of course clock setting. And other stuff that I never used. I'd only ever hit start, optionally after power selection. It would instantly start (my current microwave first waits two seconds for more input) and allow me to press it more for more time (my current one rejects adding time). The button was also nice, I don't know how to properly describe it but it was a nice clicky button that extruded, where my current one has a small pressure pad for the quick start button.

I don't feel like I'm asking for much. A start button that actually starts, lets me add time, and that's not tiny and needs a bunch of pressure to register. One proper button. The rest can be crappy, I don't use that most of the time.
Nice. I'd highlight that conceptually, there are two entirely separate concerns here:

1) the front, if you so will - the emails which you give out and to which people (or algos) send you stuff

2) the back, where you receive and read your emails.

For many people, for example:

1) abc@gmail.com

2) gmail.com web mailer, or gmail app on mobile, or native OS app on the computer

You suggest a complete revamp:

1) catchall at own domain: anything@mydomain.com

2) one (or several) protonmail/fastmail accounts

But it's worth highlighting that people can get many benefits already by

1) catchall at own domain: anything@mydomain.com (as you explained)

2) keep whatever you're using now.

Just forward 1) to 2). Then you can start handing out the new email.

evidence that banning bad words does not work and people always
find a new way to piss off others. After all it's the symptom,
not the cause.

Well, yeah, because cars became such major part of life, systems were made around them. Cars aren't enabled by those systems, it's the other way around. Same can be said for every other major form of transportation in human history. You sound like a hippy.
Sure,

Dell XPS is an outstanding laptop, I've not found yet better laptop if you don't like macs

However, Dell is not going to be my next machine because:

- dev edition is hard to get (at least for me) and regular version does not work well with Linux (finger scanner requires to install OS patches, WiFi is dropping ocasionally , I had some crappy WiFi adapter installed in 2017/18, scaling is a big issue etc)

- mine XPS had a weirdly placed camera (bottom left corner)

- again, mine model did not have 4k display (comparing to retina I had back then)

- 13" is too small and 15" is too heavy, I would like something in the middle which might seem weird for you

- there is no finger scanner for dev edition (Yubico is here to help)

As you see those are very minor and subjective issues. Dell is a favourite machine of a friend of mine for years already, however I find Apple winning premium laptops battle in my eyes.
Definitely. Not the OP you were replying to, but I love meat of all types. I also love vegetables. I also really like some vegetarian foods. Actually, I just like food, but I can't each much of it at one sitting.

I think the other proposition is that, for whatever reason, there's this push to market vegetarian foods as substitutes to lure in traditional meat eaters rather than putting effort toward convincing them that they're alternatives that taste just as good.

Like bean burgers. I absolutely love bean burgers because regular burgers just don't sit right with me half the time. But I don't treat them as a substitute--I treat them as an alternative that is delicious and unique in its own right AND to be enjoyed as such. I mean, let's be honest: There's so many different varieties of beans, and so many things you can do with them, that even speaking as a meat eater, it's almost impossible to get bored with how many different dishes you can make (with no meat)!

One example that comes to mind that's semi-vegetarian is a black bean enchilada recipe I make from time to time. Just beans. Only non-vegetarian item is the cheese (and sometimes the corn tortillas because of lard, if you get them fresh). Doesn't feel heavy, tastes amazing, and it's super filling. Have a side of refried beans (I like beans)[1], Spanish rice, a salad, and it's like a restaurant-style meal.

Err. Didn't mean to make this reply so long. Sorry. I guess I just love cooking, too.

And yes, it's not that much effort to at least cut out red meat from your diet. Way healthier too.

I think that tweet is referring to a Windows-specific issue, where many windows have no visual border so that when one is on top of and offset from another, they run into each other. That makes it difficult to see or select a window.

> A lot to people are claiming Apple is a malevolent entity. In context, it is reasonable for him to rebut that.

The exclusive "or" in "do you trust Apple is acting in your best interests, or do you believe they're a malevolent entity?" still makes it a false dichotomy.

> The straw man you cite isn’t a straw man. It is a solid argument.

"if I have the code, build the code, nothing can hide in the code.":

is not something someone knowledgeable would ever claim, only that having the code and building the code will be at least as safe or safer than not having the code at all. Presenting it as "nothing can hide in the code" and then attacking that is, in my opinion, a strawman argument.

> The author used the word ‘feasible’.

And he is correct in that. No single individual can maintain the software integrity of an entire operating system, but a group of people can do so. The omission here is that that group of people need not be Apple.

The argument here is that without Apple taking control of the user's software the user would fall prey to the privacy violating practices of the likes of Google and Microsoft, which is not true. Hence the "lie by omission".

> If that isn’t a loaded term, I don’t know what is.

The term is from the article: "While I'm going to sound like an Apple apologist,"

He claims he is not X, but has given no argument why he shouldn't be considered X and has presented a lot of arguments on why he should be considered X.

He has presented no reason to assume he is not a devoted Apple user, or in his words, an "Apple apologist".

In short, I'm not sure I'm exaggerating, but that I'm willing to disagree on.
> You're an EMT. Which means you aren't trained to deal with mental health issues.

I don't get that - a mental health emergency is a health emergency (the clue is in the name)... which is what EMTs are for aren't they?
I agree there is a difference. Also “meet requirements” is intended to portray the process as somewhat objective but its not. They write those requirements with an eye towards who they want to get the bailout.

Those are excellent questions. But if your freedom of expression collapses itself, it won't survive anyway.

The Nazi party got into power in Germany democratically. They used the privileges given to them to take those privileges from others. Give people the freedom to elect their representatives with no checks and balances, and the results can be ugly.

The polarization and brainwashing happening through social media today makes me think it is completely feasible, if not inevitable, that a group will form that will enact actual censorship to the internet.
Alito on Same Sex Marriage
"You can’t say that marriage is the union between one man and one woman." https://newrepublic.com/article/160199/samuel-alito-federalist-society-religion

"Thinking is hard. That's why most people jump straight to judgement." C. Jung.

Alito claims "You can’t say that marriage is the union between one man and one woman."

Well, that's false on its face: people say or write it all the time. He's drawing attention to blow back: pressure from an opposing point of view. On blowback,

1. Nobody said there'd be no blow back whatever your position. Nobody said it's the world's role agree with you indirectly or directly. And nobody said the blow back couldn't be pointed and directed.

2. In the face of blow back a good number of people cope by becoming the righteous judger or victim to emotionally apply pressure. They are much the same: If you multiply one through by -1 you get the other. Both suggest an inability to mount a better argument.

3. Alito in this comment doesn't argue for non-same-sex marriage or even counter argue a same sex marriage point. Instead he turns attention to the possible reaction by detractors which might might possibly stun a group into silence. That's two "possibly" degrees of freedom away. Kind of foggy endgame, no?

4. I claim private life has become too mixed with public. I'm more in favor don't ask don't tell in the public sphere when John Doe A interacts with some other John Doe B.. To push protected status or take offense of somebody else's identity seems like such an unforced error a domain which the opposing party never had a claim anyway. On person initiating status either as victim or judger the need for external soothing is ... is not a good look.

5. Violation of protected status is a factual and historical issue esp. grievous by powerful organizations on less powerful ones or persons. The Federal government therefore has an imperative duty to countervail against these orgs and hold them accountable.
> Corporations actually have a built in accountability - if they don't have customers onboard with the idea that they are providing goods and services effectively then they disappear and their owners get hit right in the financials.

Do they? The continued existence of most American telecoms and insurers would appear to prove otherwise.

Really, the issue with American politics is that presidential incumbents rarely get challenged by their own parties, and the two-party system is terrible for providing any sort of nuanced choice. Bush's legacy was truly punished in 2008, when America elected the most serious looking anti-Bush candidate running by one of the largest electoral and popular vote shares in recent history. (Both Hillary Clinton and John McCain were successfully painted as not anti-Bush enough during that campaign season.) And generally speaking American democracy doesn't outright prosecute former leaders, because generally speaking the government does not like the appearance of political retribution.

John Kerry was also not a great candidate to have run with an anti-Iraq campaign plank, and 2004 was too soon for most of the country to have soured on the war.
I'm so glad to see you tackle a DRAM since it's probably the one main component of a computer that is least understood since it is somewhat analog. Is dummy cell an official term? It's perfectly fine but I thought it might be better described as a reference cell. I enjoy seeing self correcting designs like this. My question would be - if you were to contrast to modern DRAM is it quite similar or what are the differences? (I saw your chart at the end but I'm guessing that there is more similar than different in a modern DRAM?)
I would, but I have zero skills in bash and in make and rather low skills in C. Aren't these the technologies used here?

I doubt people would appreciate if I wrote them build scripts in Scala ;-)
That sounds like a terrible situation. It's also completely anecdotal, and doesn't really contribute one way or the other to the validity of this pilot's approach. The point isn't that there are never any cases where armed police response is appropriate -- but rather that the vast majority of cases don't require one.

> The vast majority of people are good.

> We send armed cops into the worst possible situations

> your job requires you to engage with multiple people a day, any one of whom could kill you

These statements are exactly the point. The data shows that the vast majority of people involved in 911 calls are also not "the worst possible" people -- but police today are trained to consider every situation as if it were "the worst possible situation". And the data shows that this is not true in the vast majority of cases. No one is claiming that there is no risk, but rather that despite popular belief, the data indicates this risk is in fact not constant enough to justify armed, worst-possible-sitation response as the default. In addition, as your anecdote illustrates, in some cases even sending an armed police response isn't enough, and they get shot anyway. Programs like these can't solve for these edge cases -- what they do is recognize that these are edge cases, rather than the norm, which is the opposite of the approach taken by much of the police force today, and by your comment. Just as one piece of data from this very article:

> The NYC, Los Angeles, Denver and San Francisco test programs are all modeled after Eugene, Oregon’s Crisis Assistance Helping Out in The Streets (CAHOOTS) program, which has been in place since 1989. In 2019, it responded to 24,000 calls for service, less than 1% of which required an additional police response.

So no one is claiming that there is never any reason to call for armed response -- rather that it's only needed a very small percentage of the time. Can this program potentially completely eliminate any and all shootings, or terrible situations like the one you described? Of course not. But the data does indicate that in the vast majority of cases, armed response is more likely to make things worse, not better. Other cases definitely exist, but are the exception.

I agree, empathy is a bit fake, you have to guess and I for one will do my very best to guess what others are thinking and feeling, but at the end of the day, being in someone else's shoes is a guess. Compassion is entirely solid though. Both are needed.
> As soon as scientific evidence is shown that counters their stake or world view, then we go straight to "correlation is not causation."

I like to think people are more fair than that.

In this case in particular I tend to eat as much spicy food as I can. I have about 20 bottles of hot sauce within arms reach as I type this, I add some set of peppers onions and garlic to basically any meal I cook, and I usually order thai hot when it's offered even though it definitely kicks my ass.

And yet when I read this headline I immediately jumped to correlation.
You're absolutely correct, and it matters not one bit because for the general public (and even the not-so-general public of HN readers) they don't care that much about the difference and it really doesn't matter much if at all for the topic at hand.
> Those who do it well, which is most of us,

Most people have not read that book nor any like it. Most people appear pleasant because that's the way they genuinely are, not because they went to a seminar or read a book to learn how to fake it.

I’m not trying to wage a war here. I just don’t the push back on this. I know it’s a trivial issue, but it’s important to me because it’s part of a larger conversation.

Taking a step back: when someone corrects me on a terminology mistake, my response is “oh, I didn’t realize that. I’ll try to use the right terminology going forward.” Not to argue that it doesn’t matter. Again, if it doesn’t matter, then just move along with your day.

To answer your question: no. Of course actions are more important than words.
Just wanted to say that is an amazing write up. My first computer was an Interact with 16K of memory built with these chips. I never knew how complex they really are until today. I knew the row/column multiplexing was a PITA for system designers, but was it really worth it? How much more did a package with 7 or 8 more pins cost back then? I guess that's x8 for a system though.

Anyway I hope someplace archives these documentary articles!

The hack I want to do is to modulate the power to the turntable so that it always ends in the same place it started.

It's annoying when you put in a coffee mug or pyrex measuring cup and the handle is facing the back of the cavity when you open the door.

Usually the motor is a cheap AC synchronous motor, the RPM is fixed. So it's just a matter of deciding to start the power late or cut the power early based on remaining time.

This is why good CEO's deserve 100x, 200x, or 300x the median salary. They don't work 300 times more than a regular employees, but they are not supposed to. They are there to prevent all the bad things that naturally happen at large companies: turf wars, bloat, focus on process rather than delivery, duplicated work, manual and buggy processes when automation is possible, unfocused investments, mindless chasing of buzzwords, etc, etc. If you don't have person at the helm who's a blend of visionary and dictator, you end up with a good company sliding in irrelevance, like IBM, and maybe now Intel. Those CEO's who keep their star company in their current place definitely deserve the tens of millions they earn.
