> we shouldn't be giving this much power to institutions.

In a democracy, the government derives power from us, the people. In a good and functioning democracy there exists other democratic institutions to ensure that the government cannot abuse the powers granted to them.

"Vote with your wallet" is a disingenuous argument were all the corporates work together like a cartel towards a particular business model that maximises profit for them to the detriment of us consumers. Regulations that bind all business to certain rules and standard also benefit the businesses as it creates a level playing field for them too. (But obviously large corporates at the top don't want a level playing field).
Most likely it’s the same position in packets; and there’s some bad RAM in a device along the route.
You stand no chance against multi billion big corporation that can own you. It's the level of influence needed that only government can attain. The trouble is our corruption laws are so weak, you can just call it lobbying and be on your way to money town. It must be a combination of voting with your wallet and making your local politicians aware of the issues you are facing. More people put pressure the more will get done. You know if people are not doing anything, then in their mind problem is not serious.
Half of what police are trained to do is violence-based. And we need people like that, for violent situations. But we don’t need that for a /TON/ of basic situations. We have armed warriors giving speeding tickets and expecting them to not be warriors. Where are the administrators who aren’t the warriors?

Then you weren't watching the video. They drew guns after entering the residence. They pointed them up the stairs where she said her husband and two children were. Thus they were pointing guns at her children. Watch the full video on her twitter account, it happens about 10-20 seconds into the video.
Online digital content, like paid courses or an author selling their own books, may come close once a sufficient amount of marketing material is out there. Email funnels can be automated, blog posts can be scheduled (and recycled), payment gateways and whatnot can handle the actual transactions.

Simple apps and games don't necessarily need to keep getting better all the time; a successful one could likely coast for some time without needing much intervention.
A questiom that I had is whether the tax cuts from Trump helped the renewable sector, or it's just a coincidence that Tesla's price went up so much at the same time for example? What would have happened with the democrats? I guess we'll see in the next 4 years though..
As I recall, she first became famous claiming that the dashboard was deceptive and hiding cases and deaths.

That turned out to not be true, at all. It was just a very convenient story for journalists who, weirdly, have been obsessed with highlighting deaths in states run by Republicans, and simultaneously ignoring the same in blue states due to their narrative bias.

Illinois has been practically ignored because of this bias, despite very bad numbers in the latest spike, while when Georgia first relaxed it's lockdowns in May, articles were published calling it "an experiment in human sacrifice". (Didn't see a surge in cases afterwards, since most Georgians are sane and just kept wearing masks while going places)

While I always am against excessive police force, I also am fed up with journalists trying to dramatize things, and add credibility when it's not needed to any cause celebre. A person who builds dashboards isn't a data scientist BTW.

Edit:

I'm fully aware I'll be downvoted to oblivion for this post, but this person is a COVID alarmist, has pushed for excessive caution, and claims credentials and skills she doesn't have. I particularly resent her pushing for keeping elementary schools closed despite all of Europe and the vast majority of peer reviewed scientific literature saying otherwise. She's marketed herself as a renegade scientist all year, and dramatized all of it to great effect.

Second Edit:

Here she is in spring making the claim on Rachel Maddow that Florida was "hiding" hospitalization data. Absolutely untrue, and would have required conspiracy by public and private medical orgs:

I have worked on many many open source projects.

I don't think I have ever worked on any where there wasn't a single person writing code while getting paid by their employer. Is that enough to disqualify you from JetBrains criteria, do you think?

In email from travis support it was expressed as:

> Project must not be sponsored by a commercial company or organization (monetary or with employees paid to work on the project)

To me, that seems to say if someone commits code while on the clock, that is employees paid to work on the project.

That definitely disqualifies a huge number of open source projects, probably the majority, right?
Blogs for sure
I've been getting intermittent slow connections (30+ seconds to load Wikipedia) and SSL handshake failures for a couple weeks now.

I thought it was just my old router. I had no idea it was more widespread. I was just about to start upgrading network equipment.
I've lived in SF for two years now. I _choose_ to live in SF, at 34, and I commute to south bay for my job, with a bit more WFH now than before COVID but I sometimes still commute.

I don't want to get into details but the other thing I like about the people staying in SF because they chose to is a healthy disregard for authority together with a very smart sense about how to take care of themselves and others. It's saving me from terrible depression or going into complete isolation in COVID times.
Interesting, I've been having a lot of the same symptoms for months now with my Comcast service on the other end of the country. Comcast refuses to acknowledge there's any problem on their end, but I'm reasonably confident that my home infrastructure is rock solid after double checking every aspect of my network setup.
> "Ms. Jones refused to come to the door for 20 minutes and hung-up on agents. After several attempts and verbal notifications that law enforcement officers were there to serve a legal search warrant, Ms. Jones eventually came to the door and allowed agents to enter," Plessinger said.

It’s weird too, because on one hand you have them being patient and restrained, on the other they decide to pull their guns out.
Does this vaccine contain any adjunctives or other additives? Autoimmune issues are not necessarily tied to the proteins in the vaccine. Sometimes adjunctives can (are thought to) potentially trigger underlying autoimmune conditions.

We probably won't know the edge case adverse effects until we have millions of diverse people vaccinated.
Accessing a starlink satellite requires a bulky and expensive piece of equipment that emits electromagnetic waves and so can be tracked and confiscated and the operator fined, imprisoned, or killed.

It will be quite hard to “eradicate” Covid around the world, but with luck vaccines will provide lasting immunity, enough to end the pandemic, return life to more or less normal, and prevent tens of millions of deaths.

Empirically, SARS-CoV-2 mutates much more slowly than influenza viruses, and if a new strain eventually pops up that the vaccine and people’s antibodies do not work on, the current vaccines should be faster to modify than to recreate from scratch.
Because real life doesn’t work like that. Getting in hardware is harder than getting in people who already are likely in country because they are local assets not agents.

You need to set it up, test it, move it to the target all without being detected and still have a backup plan and local observers to support it.

It adds complexity and risk it does not reduce it and intelligence agencies dont like complicated.
The problem is scale though. The market today for the Librem 5 is... a handful of Linux nerds and privacy purists?

It seems fine as a statement piece if you're a big company willing to put your wallet on the line, it means a lot less if you're Purism and you need to stay focused in order to do it. And I will argue again: you could probably do this for vastly cheaper than $1999 even in the States. If anything it hurts this more, since people will look at this as an example and say, "Well, I'm not paying $2000 for something like that, guess USA manufacturing is dead since they can't produce good hardware at reasonable prices."

While it is true that a lot of people own guns, there still needs to be a good reason to draw your weapon. Drawing a weapon is escalating the situation. Full stop. By drawing a weapon you indicate that you are willing to kill another person. There is a clear difference between having a weapon and positioning one's team in case weapons are drawn, but the police have a higher standard than the citizens. As a trained professional you have a higher expectation to remain cool and collected in a stressful situation (that's why you train. That's what you train for).

Guns should not be drawn unless there is a reasonable suspicion of a threat. What I tried to say in my OP is that there appears to be no indication of a reasonable suspicion of a threat.

As for gun ownership stats, I think many will be surprised with some of the data points: https://news.gallup.com/poll/264932/percentage-americans-own...
I had gas at my previous place, but when we moved into this house it did not have gas inside. So when we replaced the stove we went with induction. Its amazing, and heats faster than our previous gas stove. There is no loss from heating the air around the bottom of the pan, and you can pump a surprising amount of heat out real fast with induction.

Was also surprised to find out that it is actually the more economical choice for us as well. We can only do propane, and not natural gas, and its a lot more expensive, so it works out nicely.

Don't want to go back to anything other than induction at this point.
Its no problem, i got it working from the repo, don't need a refund, it saved enough mouse clicks for me today to make me happy! I have carpal tunnel and this made a difference today. You may want to include a template of hotkeys that people use or create a default set to get people going.

> ...either use their products or don't.

This is where the hate comes from: It is frequently not a choice that one is able make, to not use their products. "You're at work, you must use $this." Is one of thousands of examples where your preference is made utterly irrelevant.

Also this is where the love comes from.

When forced to use something else and you hate it because your dislike of it is supercharged by that coercion, and you would much prefer to use this other product you might decide you love this other product and even evangelise it to increase your chance of being able to exercise your preference.

The idea that we use choose our use of, and knowledge of, operating systems by our own free will is a little fanciful. X billion smart phone users and 99+% of them freely choose 1 of 2. "It's your choice" doesn't make sense as soon as you look at it from that perspective. At best, exercising your preference comes with a non-trivial cost. At worst, you have no choice.

If it were easy to decide to use something else, something different whenever you felt like it the evangilism and ire would be more like it is for fast-food chains or clothing manufacturers. ie A little more fringe than we're seeing in computing.
Surprised? No. Trying to not make a left or right comment? Yes.
I co-oped at IBM in south San Jose as well. My roommates also co-oped at IBM and either rode bikes like I did or had a car. We would ride our bikes to the light rail which were a little more frequent than once an hour. We also rode our bikes to the CalTrain station.

It's definitely not walkable. It's marginally bikeable. Biking was problematic because of the lack of bike lanes and the poor lighting. Light rail and CalTrain were quite accommodating to bikes.
Something like a CSPO cert might be helpful.
I think the law is a bit different when that someone shows up at your door or is inside your house. Isn't that the essence of the Breonna Jones case? I was reading of a different case recently too.

If they've announced that they're law enforcement, it's a bad idea though. You may be in the right if you're just armed and not pointing it, but being in the right never protects you.

This is pretty intense myth-making. He worked 4 days at a lumber mill.
I consider Tom Petty to be a vastly superior artist to Britney Spears. She has far greater commercial appeal however and her music is worth more today if you're selling a catalog. The same would factor in to selling the Dylan catalog. Dylan's music is not very popular with young people and will not be very popular in the future (see: Elvis, Cher, Neil Diamond, Clapton, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Rod Stewart, Chicago, etc; their music doesn't sell at all like it used to), although I'm sure it'll be redone endlessly. Do young people care about Simon & Garfunkel? Not in the least and they won't tomorrow either. That music will all fade by the year, relegated to a small fraction of the interest it once had, as the primary generation or two that listened to it die.

After 60 years Dylan has sold less than the Backstreet Boys. He produced relatively few hits compared to other renowned, popular artists. His style of music doesn't lend itself to vast commercial success. Someone will pay a premium to acquire his catalog because he's such a great artist and it's a large & influential catalog, however there is a practical limit to that.
Somewhat tongue in cheek, but still some good advice here:

-- Know your surroundings, specifically where your exits are. The nearest exit may be behind you.

-- Break the rules. Officials may try to deter you from using passages, ladders or stairwells. Ignore them. If you need to kick open a door or pick a lock, do it.

-- Be where the well-connected people are, and look/act the part. Try to blend into the tribe, be a part of the group that's getting out.

Obviously in a modern context, these guidelines don't apply. Ignoring the instructions of flight attendants in a plane evacuation will get you killed. They are trained to evac that plane in 90 seconds. They won't be able to do it if you still have your briefcase, or haven't taken off your shoes as requested.
Florida makes it very easy to own and conceal a handgun. I guess that leads to both politeness, and caution.

Most police academies subject trainees to hours of video footage of cops getting ambushed by people with guns, and drill into them that any situation can turn deadly in an instant. They are hard-wired to think that they can lose their life in any second in any interaction with any citizen no matter what the circumstances.

> As far as I can tell from the story, there is no evidence whatsoever that she had anything to do with the unauthorized access

They had to get a warrant to search her home. Seems unlikely that a judge would issue a warrant without some kind of probable cause. While the system was poorly secured, a lot of poorly secured systems have basic logging. All it would take is an IP address.

None of us are privy to the details here, so it's really hard to say.
While the arrest may or may not be unjust, the fact of the matter is that she broke the law. Which typically results in police showing up. Regardless of your attitude about what she did, the title can be really boiled down to 'data scientist releases confidential federal data; gets arrested'.
Or indeed simply to be accused of doing so; sounds like a _lot_ of people had access to the shared credentials.
