This isn't realistic. Warrants occur relatively early in the investigative process and are often the first indication a target has that they're under investigation. An adversarial warrant process would simply result in the destruction of most evidence.

A good way to prosecute your side of this argument would be to point out any country in the world that has an adversarial warrant system and how well it works. I'm unfamiliar with any. Much of Europe doesn't even have the exclusionary rule, meaning that evidence of crimes obtained under false or broken warrants remain admissible.

If your argument is simply that most police shouldn't be armed, you'll get no argument from me.
For me it was Fallout 4, the voice sounds don’t work on Ubuntu and it was a shame because I’m dying for that Elder Scrolls itch. After a decade and a half I’m just not using Windows, though, so I messaged Steam and they refunded me within an hour. That and Mass Effect are the only two games I’ve ran into trouble with which is a definite improvement over just five years ago.
> null is typically used as a flag value, but the meaning can be ambiguous

Languages like Haskell or Rust handle this in a straightforward way by removing the null and using sum types to replace them.

> maybe it's the absence of a value

Option<T> contains a possible value, or nothing. https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/

> maybe an error occured

Result<T, E> contains either a value or an error. https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/index.html

> Sometimes it has more than one meaning for the same type.

Result<Option<T>, E> is a result that might have a value.
It’s trivial to pick someone up when they leave the house for literally anything. You’re isolated and trapped in your vehicle, if it’s done properly you have no means of running. They have a patrol car pull you over like a normal traffic stop, officer asks you to exit the vehicle and the two agents you didn’t see place you under arrest. Easy. It’s done in murder cases all the time.

This person clearly was not a fugitive and I’d be surprised if she or her family posed any threat but they chose to enter her home guns drawn.

The future is clean energy and clean manufacturing. We can either embrace it and reap the rewards or we can cede the market opportunities to China and others.

The laws of physics are irrelevant, we already have the technology to accomplish most of what we need. And regarding the laws of economics, we are in a period of record low inflation (according to the fed) despite record low interest rates. As such, this would be a prefect time to make the transition to clean tech. There is tons of capital floating around desperately seeking returns, and a little inflation would be very welcome right now.

Where are those numbers coming from?

A line manager working near a top city might get that... that's about the same as an engineer with a couple years experience makes. A high level engineer might expect 30k per month. Foxconn pays about 12k per month for non-technical managers with 3-5 years experience.

If you are a technician who assembles parts you are probably getting a salary between 3500 - 8000 RMB per month (+ social insurance payments if you work for a nicer/bigger employer). Maybe as much as 12,000 if you have advanced skills, but usually at that point you would be managing people as well.

Soft violence or symbolic violence is what I was referring to here. It’s menant to humiliate, to subjugate, to impose unearned reapect and law enforcement abuse it all the friggin time. Just once in a while is there is a honest and really respectful cop that not cooperating with doesn’t even appear like an option. But when cops bark orders and you’re supposed to say yes sir, i’ll do whatever you please because you’re authority, that’s when we’re dealing with soft violence
Not in the USA.

Our plea bargain system is so lopsided that 97% of criminal charges end with a guilty plea without a trial. Even if she is 90% sure of winning at trial, unless she has a million dollars lying around and a deathwish, it STILL isn't worth it to fight the system.

I mean that everyone who wants to work remotely, now actually has the opportunity to do so, and since everyone is working remote, you are not at a disadvantage based on your remote status. That may change in the future, it may not. But right now, changing jobs doesn't seem like a 'bad time', which is what the parent poster was claiming.
That's my point - not that a judge should grant a warrant to a crackhead, but that they should act as if they're granting a warrant to a crackhead. So basically the opinions, social standing, and claims of the entity requesting the warrant are irrelevant. Only the actual evidence should be considered by a judge when granting a "right to wantonly kill" because that's exactly what a warrant is at the end of the day. It should be taken very seriously, and unfortunately, it's not.

Aerospace doesn’t have a monopoly except that strictly regulated industries prefer having one passenger plane manufacturer because they’re easier to watch. Nor do ICs (there’s at least four big fabs and three big CPU producers).

It depends on your situation. A VC does not have options when they invest - they are getting preferred shares.

An employee that forward exercises their options pay taxes on date of hire and vest automatically. Post IPO you’re only taxed when you sell.
No idea what you're insinuating. I believe most international meetings are run with rotating chairs.

The concept is called "soft power". Practically, it means that when the US asked for something before, say, 2016, they'd get their wish, as long as it wasn't entirely unreasonable and/or didn't cost others too much.

Nowadays, they have trouble getting other countries to pick up the phone.

And while that is likely to improve somewhat within a month or so, it isn't ever going to go back to where it was.

You think you can get the French to agree to, say, extended copyright terms that benefit Disney and Microsoft with military threats? How does that work, exactly? Even born-again christians are going to have a hard time to justify mass murder with some marginal economic utility.
>It's an oddity of US politics that this is perceived as a left or right issue at all

Not that odd. One side believes in decentralized power which tends toward police doing "pretty much anything" according to their read of the situation, and another side favors reams of paperwork and regulations that may hinder effective policing. The oddity in the US is how the media convinces people to pick one side and criticize the other absolutely, rather than commit to compromise.

I don't have much to add here, except to say that this really matches my experience with Wave G.

Wave G's support team also doesn't even realize that the CondoInternet network they acquired provides IPv6, and when asked about IPv6-related issues they just say "oh we don't have IPv6 yet" which is nonsense. I really miss the local CondoInternet support people. They were amazing.

This is the best strategy in most other relationships too. You must always leave room for reconciliation and/or compromise. Unless you really would like the relationship to be over.
Your YouTube looks awesome, and I just followed you on Twitch. Looking forward to a marathon stream. :)

A question about fuzzing and determinism:

It seems like this requirement of determinism is connected to (and reinforces) a brute force approach to discovering problematic inputs.

This precludes strategies like performing a truly stochastic search (where you put complete faith in the randomness) over your input space.

Are people attempting this kind of thing? Are there additional requirements to fuzzing that make probabilistically finding a thin trajectory through the input space undesirable?
They are most certainly not a discontinued product. We just purchased a brand new Power9 server at work. The model we purchased was just released. Everyone at work still calls it an AS400. They are bulletproof and run many large businesses today. They are also not mainframes but are a class of machines called minicomputers.

Could someone explain it to me? I'm really out of the loop. I replaced Windows with Ubuntu a month ago with the intent to learn Linux. So far I have learned nothing: it's too stable and usable.

Ah, I gotcha, and I had already read another of your comments below. Yep, agree that is nicer in these cases. I still agree with the author that they made the right choice for Dart.
>There are two main solutions: Use an option or maybe type or Use a nullable type

I don't get it. These are literally all exactly the same thing, all slightly varying in ergonomics and compiler support. They may differ slightly but to call them two different categories of solution is just creating a false dichotomy for yourself.

> However, the type system is a little more flexible than with option types. The type system understands that a union type is a supertype of its branches. In other words, int is a subtype of int?. That means we can pass a definitely-present-integer to something that expects a maybe-present-integer since that’s safe to do.

You can do that in Swift, despite being placed as an example of "Solution 1".

> The short answer is that, yes, it is entirely possible to live without null, and languages like Rust do.

If you can call say that Swift has "null", then you can equally say that Rust has "null"--it's called "None". The only way "None" and "null" from other languages differ is in built-in compiler support.

Be harder to find counter examples. I can't think of many "western" nations where it's normal for the police to go in to a house for a non violent office with people with no history of violence with guns drawn.

Note that none of them were armed, she was cooperating, and the police came in with their guns drawn and pointed them at children.

This is why police should be unarmed. They can't be trusted if they have guns on hand.

I hope she sues those officers.
You shouldn't make up numbers about the ratio of violent vs non-violent stops. The vast majority of police go for their entire careers without having to ever discharge their weapon. Police work is actually quite safe, they never appear in any of the top most dangerous professions lists. And compared with some of those lists https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/27/the-10-most-dangerous-jobs-i... they are paid much better due to being about the only job that is still unionized throughout the entire country. I've been pulled over by cops making $100+k a year, and its not all all uncommon for them to break $200k with overtime. (and this is in TX, not exactly known for CA salary levels).
> Aren't magistrate judges supposed to take the police's word for this?

No. They have to convince a judge who is neutral in the matter. They have to have probable cause the criminal activity has/is occurring at the stated location the warrant is requested to be issued for. And the officers are under oath for this process, yet we see very few repercussions for a breakdown in this process. The affiant is open to persecution for perjury. The officers in the Taylor case lied by listing her and two others on the warrant. [0]

It's not an adversarial process, it's one of fact based decision making. Why would the judge blindly trust or mistrust the officer? The judge should trust the facts being presented are true, but that doesn't constitute a rubber stamp. And, as stated, if said officer lies about that evidence they should be prosecuted appropriately. Facts are often questioned to ascertain validity, that clearly did not happen in her case.

How much would you bet against that when the cop 'determined through his "investigative resources"' the ip address of the guest Xfinity network still came back as 'associated with Jones's Comcast account' ???
While I agree with all of your points, I don't necessarily understand why reverting away from systemd would fix this.

Because, you know, hundreds of user-maintained shitty shell scripts for init.d are the opposite of what you're aiming to achieve, too.

Apache binds sigwinch signals to shutdown for a reason, and those were not good reasons to begin with.

A more sophisticated alternative daemon would need to improve on the signals concept in the kernel beforehand, which certainly has to change; as kernel signalling currently is not even remotely made for such a use case (of a system daemon).

...so I kind of understand poettering's harsh statements, and why linus and him don't get along so well due to both of 'em having very opinionated and probably opposite views.

I think in order to improve at least some of your points, maybe some systemd modules and integration APIs would be the best way to go? Like an sqlite enabled systemd or something? Do you know whether such an initiative already exists?
Pretty terrible that it takes that long; Uber managed to do it in just over 6 million miles!
For cargo I don't really see how it could have that much on an impact. Using aircraft we can already transport large volumes of items fairly quickly around the world, yet most freight is still transported by sea because it's cheaper.

A standard '96" pallet' on aircraft is 317cm x 244cm x 244cm (125" x 96" x 96") and can hold 6,804 kg (15,000lb). Specialised aircraft can carry even more - some aircraft can transport trains!

The only place where I could see needing to ship stuff quicker - that could actually afford it as I'm guessing it won't be cheap - would be the military. I'm not sure that's nessasarily a good thing though...
What? the warrant had nothing to do with her house. The police broke into a home, and shot the occupants, and then arrested the one who survived for practicing his 2nd amendment right to use a gun to defend himself from criminals that were trying to murder him.

Same here. Microsoft acts like an ex that wants you to believe they’ve changed but you always regret trusting them. Windows still has a lot of crap and actually gotten worse in a few ways (like the spyware and ads).

Fascinating! Their rocket's trust-weight ratio (~73, according to Wiki) is WAY below the state of the art gas-generator cycle Merlin (~185), presumably because of the added weight of the motor and batteries required to operate an electric turbopump. It's always interesting to see folks look past a supposedly bad design and discover that its other benefits (in this case, cost and simplified design, apparently?) can still render it a viable option.
Over Thanksgiving I shot a gun for the first time. An AR15 and a Glock. The AR was fun to shoot. Kind of nerve-wracking holding a weapon that could kill someone but fun none the less.

The Glock was another story. It kicked like crazy and you could really feel the power of each shot in your arms. I didn't have any fun shooting it and I was a more than a little terrified I was going to hurt someone. Even when it was empty I had so much unease just setting it down on the table.

Seeing those police officers enter someones home with their guns drawn and pointed was... a new feeling. I had an immense sense of dread just knowing how much power was behind those guns. The thought that someone was pointing it at children is just beyond my comprehension now. For what? Allegedly logging into a website?

If shes guilty, go to jail, pay the fine, whatever. But the level of escalation to even walk through the front door with your gun drawn. The level of... I don't know... disrespect? Hatred? I can't even begin to describe to someone who doesn't know just how much force and how casually its being shown.

Truly, these officers are a disgrace to Florida. The people who trained them are a disgrace. And the people who empower them to behave this way are a disgrace.
This is a surprisingly coherent. I live in San Mateo County.

One thing I've noticed is that the cases are not evenly distributed.

California has 600/1M new cases, vs 1000/M in South Dakota.
LA county has 740/1M. San Mateo County has 313/1M.
Within San Mateo County, San Carlos is 119/1M, and East Palo Alto is 675/1M.

It's incredibly hard to set policy when everything is so different, down to towns with 30K people a few miles apart.

Anyway I was told on more than one occasion by different telcos that the standard operating procedure for many techs was to take the call, do nothing, and call back 20 minutes later and ask if it looked better because ... often enough it did.
The checksum should be checked by your computer. So somehow the packet is being repackaged with the correct checksum, but for the wrong data. In other words, when your computer checks the checksum, it matches. Another possibility is that somehow only errors that result in the same checksum are being generated.
This doesn't prove that the technology is ready or safe. It only proves that Waymo thinks it's a worthwhile gamble. This is the same place where Uber's self-driving car killed a person with no repercussions to the company.
> The remedy for broken warrants happens at trial, with motions to exclude evidence.

But merely broken (if not fraudulently obtained) warrants aren't a basis for excluding evidence, because of the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule.
