> giving people the ability to voluntarily give "viewing keys" to law enforcement that prove which transactions they actually send/received

That's not a good thing.

The fifth amendment becomes weaker over time; and may not apply in locales outside the US.

LE can easily coerce you to reveal your viewing keys, and assume you are guilty if you don't. That would be a bug, not a feature. See recent discussion proposing that google make its expired DKIM keys publicly available.

Only if the buildings aren’t wired for 240V electric anyway, which I assume they are. You can always replace with electric at your leisure.

Requiring a 240V drop in the kitchen I could see. Makes the replacement of a gas oven with electric easier, if the homeowner wishes and an easy requirement for builders to meet.

Banning an NG connection limits choice today and is based upon a forecast for the future that may not occur in the timeframe you are expecting.

While I agree with your overall point, this is not true. AIs often fail in very inhuman ways. Their "thought process" and learning capabilities resemble ours only superficially.

That said, humans also make a ton of lethal mistakes on the road and I do think we're getting close to a point where it might even out on balance. But people are more forgiving of relatable human failure modes than bizarre machine ones.
Having lived in both for many years, I'm not sure how anyone could come to the conclusion that nature is more difficult to access in Seattle than the Bay Area. It is a 45 minute drive from the skyscrapers to the Cascade mountains proper; in the Bay Area, it is a 3-hour drive to reach anything comparable. Seattle is bounded on three sides by fresh and salt water in equal measure, similar to San Francisco, with a large boating culture. The city is even nicknamed ("The Emerald City") by virtue of its many expansive and semi-wild parks in the city, plus the general greenery of the surrounding region.

I am a pretty avid nature enthusiast that spends a lot of time in the outdoors. It isn't even close, whether you are looking for mountains, water, or parks. Seattle's reputation in this regard is well-deserved; I'm not sure if there is another metro of its size that is so embedded in and connected to nature. And if you look at map, it is easy to see why -- the city is essentially surrounded by water that is surrounded by very rugged mountains (which has provided challenges for growth).

FWIW, the other large metros in the Pacific Northwest (definitely Vancouver and to a lesser extent Portland) have similarly exceptional access to nature. Some of the Mountain West cities also have great access to nature, though not as diverse as Seattle.

Anything else I'd probably type in response would mostly be reiterating my earlier points distinguishing between intellectual "property" and physical property, which haven't really been addressed.

One market you didn't mention is military. I can see exactly why the military is cozying up to SpaceX over Starlink. They've had multiple failed attempts[1] at integrated networked warfare initiatives. Starlink seems like a backbone the military could use to implement their vision piecemeal (and with probably a much higher success rate).

> she did break CFAA

Allegedly
I'm not amazed, because police are put in completely unknown situations with people they've never met, and know absolutely nothing about.

People's public personas really aren't a guarantee that they'll act a certain way on their property, especially when they are not doing something voluntarily.

Combine that with the fact being that gun ownership is a Constitutional right--that means the chance that anyone can have a gun is above 0. And various attributes of anyone that might determine whether or not someone is about to retaliate are extremely unknowable without long observation times. There's no possible way to quickly ascertain someone's proclivity to violence, agitation level, emotional state, number of guns they really have on hand, willingness to use them, etc. People will act differently outside of a public setting like work, on a TV show, etc.

So as long as guns are as easily available as they are currently, it's not unreasonable to expect a law officer to start the interaction in this way which is a manner that protects the officer the most.

The thing is this story is not at all surprising or unusual for the US. This kind of stuff is constantly happening on an almost weekly basis and after all the evidence is collected the result is "Yes this all did happen and no we are not going to do anything about it"
> Nothing will become inaccurate, because JS never introduces breaking changes.

Can you help me debug why `document.createElement('button').attachEvent('onclick', e=>alert('attachEvent!'))` isn't working then?

You might object that DOM APIs aren't part of JS proper and that's true, but this guide covers `addEventListener` on this page: https://javascript.info/introduction-browser-events

Sticking only to JS language features, I assume you can help track down why my `with()` statement doesn't work. Or why `function testing() { console.log(this.location.href); } testing();` throws an error but only if I package my code as an ES Module instead of an AMD bundle.

I agree that breaking changes like this are increasingly unlikely to happen, and I think the changes that have been made are easily net positive. But the claim that they never happen is simply not true.
Strong banking regulations is necessary to ensure that people trust the banks, and the banks don't misuse the fund you deposit with them. The collapse of some banks in US and India due to lax oversight, greed and corruption, in the last 2 decades is strong proof of this.

Actually, no. Retributive justice is not something LE usually gets involved in (within civilized democracies). It is left for the courts. The way she was arrested isn't normal, nor necessary. But I suspect that was the point.

you'd be surprised but it takes quite an impact to disrupt a telephone pole. most crashes leave the pole standing (see examples online), and even when it does topple the wires seem to hold, and the utility company comes in with a fresh pole. the lightning strike factor does suck if you live very very close to the strike and nothing is surge protected.

> I'm always amazed at how often cops approach every day tasks with weapons drawn. Reading the article (and being aware of the ongoing story) there's no indication (to me) that there would be any hostility facing the officers.

Invading someone's home isn't an every day task. Most people don't like that. And since this in the US where potentially anyone could easily have a gun, some will take the opportunity remove the invaders of their house by force, especially if they aren't aware or sure it's the police. [0]

But anyway, I'm not sure why police should even be the focus of this thread. They're just doing their job. The bigger issue I see here is the police have been called to take care of an issue that shouldn't require police.

EDIT: I'll just add since I'm getting downvoted to oblivion for saying something that could slightly be viewed as remotely favorable to police: It's sad to see this topic hijacked from the focus on Rebekah Jones, where there's an actual interesting story here about her work being potentially surpressed, to some unrelated topic about how much force police should use. Something that has been talked about ad nauseam across HN already, and yet this (at this time) is the most upvoted comment.

Does every thread need a complaint about the article title?

Titles are supposed to pique your interest. That's about it.
And "How to Escape a Sinking Ship" is a much better title than yours.
There is the concept of the Castle Doctrine, where you are allowed to use deadly force (within reason) to defend yourself and your family when someone attempts to assault you within your own home. Not all states have it but regardless, it is null and void when it comes to the police.

EDIT: I'm not sure why this is being downvoted? We're discussing gun ownership in America, when it is legally allowable to use said firearms and the fact that none of that matters when it comes to Police entering your home, all in the context of police acting like the Gestapo at this woman's home.
I wondered about Stalin, also.

Sorry, I ended up passing along what I remembered reading, and didn't think enough about your comment. Maybe I misremembered, or it would have been more accurate to say populism, without the left/right qualifier?

I agree, that makes sense to me. Populism is not unexpected after a certain amount of economic calamity.

I'm curious if there's a left/right distinction in this context, but I have no idea.
Really? To me it reads that way about you. To put the point more simply, the left and socially liberal seem rather illogical these days. To me it seems like you’ve been proven wrong and are not willing to accept it.

You tell me. If they were truly on "basically the same exact subject", there can't really be a scientific explanation for some to be publishable and others not, can there?
Perhaps they viewed her uncooperative nature as the residents preparing for conflict. It's possible they wouldn't have drawn their weapons if the residents complied immediately.

All of the above, times 10.

The Ease of Doing Business index is a complete BS.

Western countries in their majority should not be far away from countries they scorn as "third world" for how hard it is to run a business.

If you calculate costs purely on paper, running a factory in South China is already more expensive than in USA. It was so for quite some time.

You do not see Chinese factory moving to US in droves, despite some early optimism.

Chinese entrepreneurs saw for themselves that behind attractive land, utility, services, and some times labour costs, hides an impassible bog.
The problem is that "serious public intellectual" is a kind of empty insult that is just doing rhetorical work to make the author seem smarter or more accomplished at the expense of PG. When I say "Empty" I mean that it doesn't really convey anything, what is a serious public intellectual? How is someone famous for writing and sharing essays about his area of expertise not a serious public intellectual?

The term doesn't really convey real meaning. It's just a rhetorical sneer. Like, if I wrote "Zach Tellman is basically Microsoft's idea of a smart person." It is somehow putting down the author, and Microsoft, and implying that I'm so much better and smarter. In the same way "He's not a serious public intellectual" implies not only that PG is unserious or non-intellectual, but that the author is some high authority who can cast these judgments.

In reality, of course, the author has no claim to judge who is serious or who is an intellectual.
The difference between being fired and resigning isn't moot, even in an at-will job where the employer can fire you without cause or explanation.

Then we should sanction the whole state for minor infractions of one officer.

Municipal bond offerings are currently exempt from SEC registration and disclosures, we can get the federal government to change that upon evidence of small infractions and force an extremely high level of disclosures such as policing statistics for the next 10 years if the municipality wants to raise capital.

This beats activist's state-level FOIA requests.

It doesn't harm the ability of an officer to make split second decisions and get home safely, which is usually their argument against any proposal.

It doesn't require a whole civil suit or criminal suit for anything to happen.

Just gets the message across that actions have consequences. It lets them run out of excuses so their real thoughts can be made as clear as day.
I am thinking the same problem. TCP checksum includes data field. Is it means AT&T flip bits and re-calculate checksum?
I live in one of the few cities in the Bay Area where everything is buried, and it's refreshing not to have stuff hanging all over the place and blocking the view. Now, granted, AT&T fiber is slow to come here, but it's hard to know if the fact that the infrastructure is buried is the main reason. They are in some areas of town but not others.

You can bury conduits, by the way, and not cables or fiber directly. This allows you to avoid digging again just to install fiber, for example. There are ways to do it right. And having the infrastructure on poles is not a panacea either. New providers are not necessarily allowed to use the poles. The weather might not be crazy, but the poles are already overloaded and a little windstorm will disrupt electricity, coax cable, or fiber. And of course, those overloaded poles are crazy ugly.

That's not the real relationship tree. Mass gun ownership leads to fear. Fear may lead to politeness and caution, but only because of the fear. It may also lead to a 'fight or flight' type response, and things might escalate quickly beyond where anyone wanted them to be...

If you want to structure society around fear, that is (I guess) a country's prerogative, but it's not something I (as a non-American) would ever support.

It's possible they wouldn't have been so hesitant to open the door if cops didn't have a reputation for shooting people with no consequence.

The people with actual power in this situation have the greater responsibility.
It's an oddity of US politics that this is perceived as a left or right issue at all, in that one 'side' seems to have adopted the stance that police should be allowed do pretty much anything with no repercussions or meaningful oversight. Outside the lunatic far-right, this sort of thing would be condemned from all sides in many developed democracies.
Many warrants are served everyday. I would say it's an common task from a LEO perspective, but not from a citizen's perspective.
For a more generalisable solution:

- Pick a ship with robust safety measures, procedures, and equipment, sailing in favourable conditions, if at all possible.

- Rehearse evacuation. Drilling and mentally noting escape routes and pitfalls makes successful performance during an actual emergency the more likely.

- Maintain situational awareness. Things can go pear-shaped remarkably quickly. Numerours modern shipping disasters have transpired in a few minutes, or less. (Edmund Fitzgerald, Costa Concordia, MV Sewol, Estonia, El Faaro, ...) Size alone is no guarantee at all of safety, and can work catastrophically against you if below-decks.

- Easier said than done: avoid panicking, and avoid both panicky and oblivious people. If you're good at keeping a clear head and useful goal focus during crisis, so much the better. Even if you do, others panicking or ignoring clear dangeer can kill you (usually along with themselves). The aspect of Titanic dramatisations I've found most compelling is noting who realises when that the ship is in fact doomed, and how they respond. Some early, some late, some never, some quietly, some loudly, some selflessly, some selfishly.

Once off the stricken vessel, survival depends on keeping your head above water, literally, and remainung uninjured, warm, dry (generally), hydrated and fed (if rescue is not immediate), healthy, and rescued or returned to hospitable land. Survival even in very cold water is generally not an immediate threat. Drowning, injury from falling debris or flotsam, and hyperthermia are the most immediate risks. Past a day or so, hydration, food, and exposure become more critical. Shipwreck survivors have lasted months on rations, fish, and rainwater, in instances.

Signalling your location or attracting attention through orange equipment (many rescue evacuation craft, survival suits, life jackets), flags, flares, beacons, strobes, radio locators, mirrors, or fires (avoid burning your craft), etc., help.
