I mean, sure, for a very long time Sweden had insanely high per death per capita stats. By now, though, the US has passed Sweden in deaths per capita. It's about the same, e.g. horrible, though.

I found the article confusing, but the infographic at the end made everything worth it. Probably one of the best I've ever seen, and I take my hat off to the author!
Now there is an effective vaccine the restrictions won't be indefinite, and the whole "herd immunity the sooner the better" argument is moot.

I don't see it as Sweden giving it's previous position so much as reacting rationally to new circumstances.
Most police departments have internal affairs departments, but these are largely toothless. I would not expect a national organization to perform much better. The incentives simply are not aligned: it is easy to see a politician leaning on the department saying "this will make me look bad, make it go away."

I think what would be more powerful would be to empower citizens to bring criminal cases against police offers acting in their official capacity. Then at least we could be assured that the prosecutors are motivated to win the case for their clients.
It never hurts to try. Thanks for the feedback!

The position occupied by Yelp only generates opportunities to scam. There's no natural surplus-generating business there. Few entrepreneurs would choose to compete for that, when they're just starting out. Maybe some would be forced into it after too many pivots, but Yelp is probably clever enough to stay ahead of them.

Trust, inventory, and demand are not that easy to copy.

Most people probably don’t want to check a dozen different sites (convenience) or don’t know which sites they can trust.
This isn't always as straightforward as it might seem. I'm using a Dell Precision laptop shipped with Ubuntu and certified and all that jazz, and it continues to have problems that just don't happen on the Mac side of things. I use both, a "low-end" MBP for "thick client" computing and the Dell as a luggable hypervisor, since I don't have the money to spec a mac out with the kind of specs I need for that.

Even with a recent kernel, it continues to have power management problems, and the intel wifi chipset occasionally just decides to stop working. It's fine, especially given the good price I got, but it's been a hassle, and more than occasionally I wish I'd spent the money on upgrades to the Mac instead.

(And I say this as someone with a libre POWER9 desktop and a pinephone -- I love tinkering and live Linux, but when I'm working for a paycheck I get tired of dealing with Linux's issues)
Employees that get and exercise stock options are not accredited investors either. Couldn't they take a similar route?

I admit, I ask mostly selfishly (my wife and I are superhosts, we have managed a full-time AirBnB in CA for 2 years). But it's also an interesting thought experiment. It would be quite the contrast to how the rideshare and food delivery companies treat their non-employees.

If you or I think there should be recommendations of which specific VPNs properly route Mac app traffic, then you or I can do our own tests and post our own comments with those results and recommendations.
I don't think it can be broken down so simply. It's clear that the constitution has provisions specifically covering this (ex: 4th amendment), so the Federal courts at least have an interest in seeing the cases. As the highest law in the land, it's also pretty clear the 14th gives SOME federal oversight of violations of citizen's rights.
The point of insurance is they have to pay for it personally. If the government pays for insurance and also pays for penalties, we are in the same situation we are today.
This is absolutely a national problem.

Moreover corrupt cops thrive because of close knit relationships between local DAs, local law enforcement, local judges and local politicians. A national wrecking ball is needed to break these toxic corrupt relationships and a strong, national institution is needed to create the institutional inertia against systemic police corruption from arising again.

You can't vote corruption out of office. It has to be rooted out from outside. Even the cleanest politicians cannot operate from within a corrupt system.
Thank you very much for your hint. So far, it seems that the downgrade did not succeed. The boot ROM number is still the same after the manual patch.
I have yet to read the S-1, but I'm assuming it's the same issue as Uber. Inflated overhead due to higher baseline operating costs.

Uber/Airbnb don't need near the amount of product/engineering they actually have.
Some people want to be more private than current (for example, this discussion of email keys). As more things move online, it is worth thinking where the balance should be (we probably agree on that), I think the balance should be less privacy (I'm sure you don't agree with that, a full discussion on that won't fit well in a ycombinator thread).
I think you're projecting
With even healthy people dying or having long term if not life long health impacts, was it really "incompetent" to prevent people from taking those risks?
> A couple of hung juries and the powers that be may get the message

A couple of hung juries and prosecutors will be sure to start asking this specific question in order to strike you from the jury. They already do this for the death penalty.
> Heck my owns wife’s birthday is wrong. By a few days. We inquired about it and were told to just go with it. Multiple years of effort would be required to fix it.

The US Social Security Administration? It took me years to get the IRS to tell me why they were rejecting my electronic tax return filings. Once I found out it was the birthdate on file with the SSA, it took less than 5 minutes to fix at the SSA office in the nearest federal building (which was conveniently across the street from my work office at the time). Perhaps it is very challenging or impossible at the benefits offices that are in just about every city and town across the US. If you don't live in a big city with a complex of federal offices, maybe next time you go to one bring along a bunch of documents and get it done.

>Also, several minutes of buffer fits nicely in RAM. 5 hours would require a lot more RAM (making devices more expensive and thus harder to get deployed) or would require it to be written to flash disk which introduces new technical and legal issues.

If you're concerned about writing potentially sensitive video to non-volatile storage, that can be solved via technical means. Just encrypt the video with an ephemeral key kept in memory, then store the encrypted video on non-volatile storage. You get best of both worlds.

>I've done that math and the numbers are staggering.

Mind showing your calculations? Keep in mind you don't have to store the videos in perpetuity. Limiting it to 180 days (with option to extend if the incident is being disputed) would suffice for most cases.
For comparison and anyone interested, it looks like QQQ is about 7x over that time period.
There have been apparent cases of police departments targeting local activists trying to bring about change through the local political process. When the local system is that thoroughly compromised, I don't see much alternative to bringing in a higher outside power (e.g. the feds, or maybe the state police if they aren't the dirty cops in question.)

Interesting. I would have thought that all sugars would be out for keto diets.
Pretty much every state has their own, state-level investigation bureau [0]. Automatically transferring footage to an internal affairs department there would distance it from the actual department, while preserving state control.

Aside from activating / deactivating the camera (with clear guidelines and penalties for doing / not doing so), and connecting it to a network at the end of a shift, it should be a black box. None of the IT functions should run out of the same police force.

Consequently, this also protects officers in the case of equipment failure: timestamp the activation / deactivation signals in a separate log file. If the footage isn't there, but they activated, then it's no longer their reputation on the line, because they had no involvement in the chain of custody.

The big question for me is: what's the difference in the RNA fragment targeted by the Moderna vs. the RNA targeted by the Pfizer one? is there any overlap? mostly overlap?

What I'm really asking of course is are they complementary? or essentially the same thing? will it make sense having both? how fast will the virus mutate once these vaccines are ubiquitous?
Regulatory capture is extremely common in American life, and many of our current policing issues can arguably be attributed in some large part to overly powerful police unions. So to me this sounds like a lip-service-non-solution waiting to happen.

One of the larger data points is deep into this (very lengthy) story: an estimated 10% of stops that are mandated to be recorded (e.g. not conducted by officers in specialized teams that don't operate with cameras) were marked by officers as not having body camera footage. That doesn't include incidents – such as the story's main anecdote – in which officers claim there is footage even when there isn't, or much of it is missing.

> CBS 2 obtained data on more than 340,000 of those stops between the start of 2018 — the first full year all patrol officers had body cameras — and June 30, 2020.

> More than 62,000 stops during that period didn't have body camera video, the data showed.

> About half of the interactions that weren’t recorded involved police officers who are not required by policy to wear body cameras, including those on specialized teams.

> In order to find out how many stops were potential policy violations, CBS 2 isolated stops made by cops who would normally wear body cameras. It shows about 34,000 stops — roughly 10 percent — were made by officers not assigned to gang, gun or saturation teams.
Buying instruments for public high school bands is a local problem. Cops killing citizens in broad daylight and not facing consequences is not a local problem, not any more than 9/11 was a local terrorism problem for residents of New York and Washington DC.

N900 had such a beautiful keyboard. I learned C and Python with ease from it,
and wrote several fanfics - all enabled by the sheer ease of being able to slide open that keyboard (with the satisfying click) and precision typing a paragraph with what to the outside world must have looked like a series of well-timed squeeze-rubbing motions.

I could type blind too - talking and interacting with someone whilst finishing a sentence with my other hand brain. I miss it so much.
The logistic problem will be a major blocker in most of the other parts of the world, for e.g. anywhere in developing world. Even though it might work for US, rest of the world will still have the logistic problem due to the temperature restrictions.

I think the problem is the with the name. An MVP is most often not a product, but a prototype that you use to test some hypothesis. That’s it. It you are lucky and validate them, great. Trash the Prototype and build the real product.
I think shares on the open market were selling for around $230 a share 2 years ago, I don't know valuation on that number but despite covid and the $1B loan amongst other things the people who joined earlier are making out like bandits(a few of my ex-coworkers went there and a friends wife joined there in 2011).
It seems to me that the correct term is "Static Binary Translation" (SBT) for what you call "ahead of time binary translation".

And the correct term for "JIT-based emulation" is "Dynamic Binary Translation" (DBT).

At least these are the terms you should use if you want to find some literature on this subject.

We're not talking about JIT or AOT compiler because it's not really a compilation (compilation is translating to a lower level language).

I think a lot of people talk about JIT rather than DBT because the JIT term is better known, and there is confusion when Apple says they do "Dynamic translation for JITs".
Which means that: they do DBT to handle applications that use JIT.

Edit: So Rossetta 2 does both: SBT and DBT.
The company will do great, I'm sure.

airbnb sides too much with the host in my experience.

When a host left me and my family in an unsafe environment due to a gas leak, airbnb was impossible to work with. It took months of escalation with airbnb to get things fixed, despite providing all the documentation required the same day that I didn't stay at the property and had to book a last minute hotel at increased cost.

:)
A biologists might be able to provide more detail but some big molecules are just inherently more stable than others, it can be incredibly tricky to predict this up front since it depends on complex interactions within the molecule itself. These are the kind of problems that projects like Folding@Home try to solve with lots of computing power (though I think they focus more on proteins, not sure if they also do RNA).
I don't understand why "fear and lockdowns" are equated here. Lockdowns aren't an agenda on their own - it's because of the virus, which exists whether you do a lockdown or not. I guess people believe that the virus is nothing to be scared of, and so then they believe that people fearmonger to whip up support for a lockdown, but this belief makes zero sense to me - why would anyone be in favor of a lockdown if the virus isn't dangerous?
Yes my point was Sweden's original policy was so bad it lead the world in deaths per capita, while it's neighbors had a small fraction of their infections / deaths and no noticeable difference in economic performance due to their lockdowns (Sweden had -9% GDP in Q2 the rest of the nordic bloc -9.8% averaged).

Their policy was and continues to be an abject failure.

77% of nights booked were for entire homes ( not spare rooms ). I would have guessed this to be much higher, like 95+ or something.

That’s interesting and I guess the big thing that makes this different than vrbo if they can grow the spare room side much more over time
Local internal affairs departments don't work because your career is dependent upon this corrupt judge, DA, cop in your area with whom you will work again. You're incentivized not to look too closely because your career is on the line. Plenty of good cops who have uncovered corruption have been personally targeted this way.

In a national department? You get to the top by putting dirty cops in jail. Your boss's boss does not need to maintain an good relationship with a judge in Georgia. They win in their career by putting more dirty cops in jail.

The more national and centralized and separate from the rest of the police a department like this is the more ruthless it can be.
Yes, but the "such as..." example incorporates the original "this statement is not provable" statement, so it seems a bit of a cheat. If you could exclude that statement, it would also by definition exclude any compound versions of it. It seems to me that the issue boils down to, can "this statement is not provable" be leveraged to get to something like 1 + 1 = 3?

> It's cultural to the institution of policing.

It's not just culture, it's the police unions as well. Any new tech (like auto-recording when the weapon is drawn) generally has to have union approval. Unions are frequently resistant to these kinds of changes.

That, and also police agencies in general are pretty much the exact opposite of high-tech. The younger officers probably embrace technology having grown up on it, but a lot of the more senior people are wary of anything technological and see it as just another hindrance to their job. These are not people who sit in front of computers all day like we do.
Add to this that the original author recently posted a story about the origins of the youtube-dl script admitting it was designed to do:- download YouTube videos and name the downloaded files appropriately.

https://rg3.name/202011071352.html

Under DMCA, neither writing a script like youtube-dl nor using it is prohibited (making an unauthorised copy of a video could be fair use).FN1 Section 1201 however prohibits distributing the script to others. Thus, the author of the script who "releases" (distributes) it is not necessarily the only one who might be violating the DMCA. Any recipient of the script who distributes it further, e.g., Microsoft, could be violating the DMCA as well.

FN 1. Section 1201 prohibits distributing technology that is designed to circumvent either "access controls" and/or "copy controls". Similarly, the act of circumventing "access controls" is prohibited. However, the act of circumventing "copy controls" is not explicitly prohibited. Making unauthorised copies, e.g., downloading YouTube videos, is subject to the defense of fair use. It is arguable that youtube-dl is only designed to circumvent "copy controls". As others in the thread point out, there are generally no "access controls" on YouTube videos, e.g., password protection. There could be exceptions. If youtube-dl is designed to circumvent geographic or age restrictions, would those be considered "access controls".

Aside from DMCA concerns, Google's Terms of Service for YouTube would appear to prohibit use of youtube-dl:

"The following restrictions apply to your use of the Service. You are not allowed to:

1. access, reproduce, download, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, alter, modify or otherwise use any part of the Service or any Content except: (a) as expressly authorized by the Service; or (b) with prior written permission from YouTube and, if applicable, the respective rights holders;

2. circumvent, disable, fraudulently engage with, or otherwise interfere with any part of the Service (or attempt to do any of these things), including security-related features or features that (a) prevent or restrict the copying or other use of Content or (b) limit the use of the Service or Content;

3. access the Service using any automated means (such as robots, botnets or scrapers) except (a) in the case of public search engines, in accordance with YouTube's robots.txt file; or (b) with YouTube's prior written permission;"

Would these TOS be enforceable if challenged. #1 makes no allowance for fair use. What do you think.
Appreciate the Italian insight; sorry about the downvotes.

EU cases started climbing earlier than the US, and new daily cases have peaked and are descending.

Plotted here, 1 September to present, are the largest EU states: France, Spain, UK, Germany, and Italy, vs. US. (The tool is capped at five comparisons). Shown are new daily cases, normed to population, 14 day smoothing (to clarify trend).

https://rys.io/covid/#delta,linear,permillion,date,average:1...

Substitute otheer countries as you prefer. Note that Poland, Czechia, and Switzerland have comparatively small populations (38m for Poland v. 84m for Germany).

US cases are still climbing, EU are falling. France peaked on 2 November, 14 days ago, deaths attributed to those cases are just now being reported, but willdecrease rapidly.

Meantime US cases are still growing exponentially, with over 1 million new cases (at a 3% CFR) in the past week alone.

Calling the US situation "better" than Europe is ignoring the inevitable tragedy facing the US. As with this past spring, a few weeks lag on the epidemic curve can not be represented as evidence of superior situation. The future is here, it's just distributed more in Europe than the US presently. The US will get what's due it within 2-3 weeks, possibly sooner.
