> The police in america generally have too much responsibility and consume too many of our resources.

Part if this is because many other social services are cannibalized either due to drops in tax revenue, or in order to fund the constantly bloating police budgets.

Part of the "defund" process (I know, very poorly named!) is to take both responsibility off police shoulders and $$$ out of police budgets and put those dollars into social response.

A great example are mental wellness response to psychotic breaks among homeless. Rather than having police have to deal with hours of interaction (and police report paperwork), send in qualified health workers, i.e., those that have been trained for years to deal with this rather than a rookie cop with 6 months at the academy.

This would prevent cops from having to handle all kinds of other stuff, especially situations where they are not at all qualified to handle.

Don't forget 9/11 truthers. They were at least as popular as any modern-day form of crankery, and that was nearly twenty years ago now.
There is zero evidence they are intentionally collecting user personal data with these features.
This is the best description of a "programmer solution" ever.
Rightly or wrongly, I guess people just feel they have a right to hold the police to a much higher standard than the criminals.
This is not just possible, it's available today. It's a question of law, policy, and procedure.

It shouldn't surprise you that few people will choose monitoring beyond what's legally required.
The general problem you describe - n + 1 queries caused by needless iterating over / instantiating Ruby objects when a simple SQL query would do - is certainly a very common newbie mistake, but it's just that: a newbie mistake.

Confusion here simply shouldn't be a problem for even a moderately seasoned developer, and if they do make such a mistake (because hey, we all make mistakes...) in performance-sensitive code they could quickly recognize it for what it is - a bug - and fix it.

If you're hiring junior developers, on the other hand? Sure! But you should know what you're getting, and your code review / mentoring process should get them straight.

I'm not sure I really understand how this is Ruby's or Rails' fault, unless your premise is "ORMs considered harmful" - in which case, ActiveRecord is far from alone here, and that's a different sort of conversation.
Huh? I didn't say anything about the efficacy of wearing face masks. All I did was point out that:

1) there is a political party in the US, who are using the face mask issue to shame and politically attack another party.

2) this is a reversal of the roles these two political parties played just a decade and change earlier.
I started doing this [0]. I think a lot of times solo founders like myself get stuck in a vacuum. It feels so isolating and demotivating that just sharing my random thoughts (even though I know noone is reading them) actually helps. It makes me feel like I'm having someone to share them with. It also might help start building an audience that I can discuss the product with.

I never suggested dismantling all systems of social cohesion and accountability. I said too much of the power that maintains social order is vested in a single place.
There used to be a performance hit because the annotation objects where all instantiated and attached to the function objects. This is no longer the case - they are only instantiated when inspected.

I believe in 2011 the strike price (accounting for both stock splits) would have been around $0.75-0.80 after they raised funds around May 2011. Assuming they are worth at least $30 billion, the shares would be around $50 for around a 6150% total return assuming $0.80 initially.

If someone got shares in 2009 they likely had a substantially higher return.
It looks like they accounted for that or at least did as much as they could to account for that.

>In patients with no previous psychiatric history, a diagnosis of COVID-19 was associated with increased incidence of a first psychiatric diagnosis in the following 14 to 90 days compared with six other health events.

So it looks like they compared it to six other health events and it (anxiety, insomnia, dementia) was still higher with COVID, but they add "we cannot exclude possible residual confounding by socioeconomic factors."

I hope it's not true, but it looks like more and longer-term studies need to be done.
We don’t need to create a private insurance market for yet another part of American life. Other countries have real oversight bodies with teeth that build public trust. It’s important that justice is done in these cases of abuse, and it also needs to be seen to be done by the public, which builds trust in the institutions of state.
Yes, from what I know the keyboard goes through that chip.

I also think to have heard that in some cases broken keyboards can cause your laptop to not work anymore at all because of this but I didn't remember where I heard this, does anyone happen to know the source/correctness of that?
I'm pretty sure trying to pass something like that would very quickly devolve into an argument about states rights. Probably rightly so, as even though oversight would be good, a Federal agency to do so might be problematic for many reasons.
Dunno if it should be fixed for free by the person who found it, but I also get your point.

If government wants to continue with drug prohibition then they should provide adequate policing. You can't have a cake and eat it too. You cannot blame the environment if this is what you created. If police cannot handle gangs, then why don't they lobby for drug legalisation? Or is it that they quite enjoy drug busts and undeclared cash on the side?
It is so frustrating with all those recent tech startups how much they're spending on sales and marketing: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1559720/000119312520...

How does one figure whether the business will keep growing without blasting people's faces with ads? If so much spend on ads is required to generate revenue growth then there will either never be profits or the revenue growth will stall (and thus the equity is worth rather little), if ads are not required then why are they spending so much on them, or maybe when will they stop spending.

All the "heroes" of the tech boom (Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft) did not suffer from this problem - they were profitable before going public.

It feels like this time we're in an advertising bubble. Nearly every single S-1 submitted to HN has this feature.

I am genuinely puzzled by this, if someone can offer some perspective on how can you model something like this I would be grateful - what assumptions you'd be making here.
Just to be clear. This implies that it's possible to write some specific statement (using PM axioms) that contradicts itself? Is there a readable example of this statement without using Gödel numbers but instead just with the axiom statements?
Also, you'd possibly be giving an unrealistic dose in the lab. If you give someone 1000x the viral load they'd ever get in the real world, the vaccine might not work. Or might work but send the immune system into a crazy overdrive cytokine storm.
> Receipts can be signed with...

In the real world it doesn't matter which cryptographic protocols are theoretically available for use. What matters is which protocols everyone else is using. For example, in the case of receipts for purchases on the web, literally everyone is using email. You will not be able to get amazon to sign a receipt with gnupg.

If you want to embark on a path of convincing the world to move away from email, that's great, good for you. Just don't pretend like removing non-repudiation from e-mails is a quest on that path. It's not.

I agree. This is something that I would expect to see on reddit and not HN. I come here to get away from that noise.
That was an amazing read but, to me, the whole thing sounds to me more like a second job than a hobby, if I'm being honest. Obviously different people relate differently with those side activities but your dedication to learn chess puts it very much outside my personal definition of hobby or unwinding activity.

I have a analog story that ended up burning my up with my hobby: playing music. I played guitar (acoustic and electric) since I was a teenager, and sometime after I was an adult, I decided to double down to really learn it (as a hobby, since I already had my main career). I set up several hours a week for deliberate practice, started a classic guitar class, tried some Brazilian MPB class. The endgame for me was that I got completely burned out.

After doing that for about 2 years, playing became a big chore for me. One day I just stopped and didn't touch a guitar again for almost 5 years.

It was still very interesting to see how you approached it.
Wow thanks, that is eye opening.
There’s a good chance that behavior would result in a CAPTCHA.
" hardly any human beings at all (as a percentage of the population, certainly) now take part in this activity."

Of course - my point is that these are very common, old, normative activities, the type of which most people are around quite a lot. It could have been carpentry.

Jeff Bezos announces first beneficiaries of his $10B USD climate fund
Consent needs to be given freely, with knowledge of what you’re consenting to. If it’s not free and knowledgeable, it’s not consent.

I certainly didn’t realise that DKIM can be used as a non-repudiation signature, I’m sure most people using email don’t.

Thus there’s no consent and I would say that non-repudiation has been sprung on me.

The duration has nothing to do with it. Just because you can keep a camera hidden in someones room for an extended period of time doesn’t mean it’s ethical or consensual to record them.

Finally statues of limitations don’t protect people from a trial in social media. Social media is just as capable as the justice system of destroying a persons life. Unfortunately Twitter doesn’t have a statue of limitations.
I switched from Lenovo to Acer because the Lenovo crapware had become horrific. Broke my heart because I'd been a longtime ThinkPad user, but going from a solid X220 to a P1 that failed in two years, to a crapware-laden Yoga that had multiple failures in the first 6 months just killed any love I had for the brand.

Acer's hardware is inferior in every measurable spec but hasn't failed me yet, and that's frankly all I want from it. It works and it stays out of my way.
That confuses generalities with specifics. The 60-80 year old that you infect might be someone who agrees with you and worked very hard to oppose those things.
When something called "proof of work" is so central to an idea, it can't be at the same time, "free".
No. This is not a national government problem. This is a local government problem. The solution is for citizens of those cities and counties to hold their local governments accountable and vote them out of office if they don't fix the problem. The last thing we need is more big government, one-size-fits-none policies dictated from above. We need more local people solving their own local problems.

It would also help if police were not tasked with enforcing a litany of nanny state laws that shouldn't even be on the books to begin with. Any cop that wants to mess with a citizen can always find some excuse; with all the laws we have, all of us are violating some law every day.

> Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is the concept that prioritizes business concepts over other types of classification in your codebase (like grouping by file type).

Well, no, it's not. It's true that DDD-based architectures (like Hexagonal or Ports & Adapters) do provide guidance on code organization (I teach courses on this), but to say that code organization is DDD is misleading at best.

As others have said, DDD is so much more than that, and I'd summarize DDD as making Domain Concepts and Behavior primary, instead of the Data (and databases) being the focus.
Huum. I'm italian and no, does't work that way anymore. Maybe 20 years ago. Now aside from Autovelox for instant speed readings, they even have checkpoints and they average your speed. So yes, you can go superfast between two checkpoints but then you have to stop to lower your average speed before passing the next checkpoint. They call the system "Tutor". you can see the list of checkpoints here: http://www.autostrade.it/documents/10279/13188512/TUTOR_2016... and there are plenty of said checkpoints on the path took by the police car.

Yep. COVID surprisingly ended up increasing the usage of Airbnb amongst my circles. My entire Insta/Twitter timeline is full of people who wanted to take advantage of the remote work situation and travel, but didn't want to stay in hotels due to a perceived risk of COVID, so they chose Airbnbs.

And then of course they also posted a lot of pics of said Airbnb on their timelines, which basically became advertisements encouraging other people to do the same...
>With $2b in debt?

Don't forget, there was the announcement in April [0], they issued $1 billion of that debt at 10% interest, and it's convertible, which is equivalent to rate of about 12-13% non-convertible debt.

What the S1 says about that loan: Interest on the First Lien Loan is payable monthly or quarterly in arrears, at our option depending on the chosen per annum interest rate equal to (i) in the case of LIBOR borrowings, 7.5% plus LIBOR, subject to a floor of 1% (the “First Lien Eurodollar Rate”), or (ii) in the case of base rate borrowings, 6.5% plus the greatest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, and (c) LIBOR for a one-month period plus 1%, subject to a floor of 2%.

Totally agree with all your points. I also have a rating little over 2000 USCF. New players tend to over-emphasize on openings. To this day I know only names of about 5 openings. I do not know more than a few moves in them. I have generic replies for most of them.

Majority of the games of new players are decided by some stupid blunder. Blitz games do not help improve this area much. Like you said game reviews and puzzles are best.
The OP is saying Deng's leadership is not the whole picture of China's economic reform.

I read your statement as the same idea.

As for what factors are working in addition to Deng, you might think one way, which is indeed the case; but the OP thinks Mao's work is a part of that as well, which also makes sense.

In the end, I doubt anyone can settle the details here. As CCP does not disclose historical records as openly as US. So literally no one has the data to prove one way or the other.

This is, of course, not true.
Maps does for sure, it’s how they build traffic measures. They need to know how many (relatively) are using specific routes, but have no need to know who.

Another case is WiFi mapping. Your phone helps build a database of WiFi network locations to improve your location accuracy, again they don’t need your personal identity to build that.
> the FBI is meant to handle matters of state or local government corruption

They have a certain amount of ability to do that if the state or local government is violating Federal law. But they do not have general oversight or police powers, since the Federal government as a whole does not. Nor is it supposed to.

> People change over time and normal human communications have a natural sunset built in as people forget exactly who said what.

It's true, but I'm not sure it's as good thing as you believe. I was born in communism, and then later I lived through the transition and have seen many people use this exact mechanism that you mention to whitewash their biographies. People just don't remember long, and thanks to that all of the sudden everyone was a victim of the regime who fought for democracy, while in fact they were exactly the opposite. Many bad people not just got away, but also gain significant benefits thanks to "people forget exactly who said what" and it did a lot of damage to my country and the society. So, while people do change over time, and we all sometimes have said something stupid that we didn't really mean, IMHO as adults we all should stand behind the things that we say and hold accountable to at least some level for it.

And to protect people from other's misusing their past, perhaps it would be more beneficial to educate the crowd not to be overly judgmental and not to jump to conclusions like everyone on soc. medias just loves to do - rather than forcing individuals to lie about their past to defend of blackmailers.
The right solution in this case is to educate journalists - they are up to date on things like deep fakes and should be on DKIM.

The wrong solution is to make previously private keys public to make any reasoning about past data impossible in the name of “hut journalists might get a wrong impression”

Yeah, this is a good point.

However, I'm wondering if you can't bring things into alignment. Like, if the IRS wants to get money from you, then all of your financial parts of you need to be considered alive. And maybe that's good enough.

Or maybe you could commit libel or slander or copyright infringement such that people will want to sue you for damages, but you're not legally able to lose money because you can't legally hold money.

And from that perspective ... maybe people could pay you to commit slander or copy right infringement and then you can live off of that money until someone shows up who is willing to do the leg work to bring you financially back from the dead so that they can successfully sue you for damages.

Really this is more of a thought experiment though. Like, obviously the government could bring you back if they really wanted to. It's just that they don't really want to because it's too much work for somebody. And it's sad that there probably does exist a crime/civil violation that you could commit such that suddenly it's worth someone's effort to bring you back.
