> 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

This mentality is so wrong to me.

Yes there is danger associated with entering a home, but if you are not willing to take any risk, don't try to be a cop.
Sure, if cops can reduce risk for themselves without increasing it for others, then by all mean they should, I'm not saying they should be daredevils.

But this is different, this is just offloading all the risks from their side onto the citizens.
A situation that could be minimal risk to everyone (because let's not pretend that people shooting at cops entering a home is a usual thing), is now high risk (and traumatic in all cases) for the citizen. I would even wager that the risk for themselves is getting increased over time because of people freaking out more and more seeing a cop with a gun in the US.

And let's not pretend that cops in the US are well trained, they are so afraid and completly unable to de-escalate a situation that I would have 0 confidence in a cop pulling a gun on me in the US (not saying I would like it anywhere, but I would sure be less freaked out in Europe).

This is just plain stupid, it's not a necessity of life like you paint it.
"Conroy sent a runner in with the software package that

would allow Turner to pilot the jet that would carry Mitchell

to Hosaka's Mexico City compound. The runner was a wild-

eyed, sun-blackened man Lynch called Hariy, a rope-muscled

apparition who came cycling in from the direction of Tucson

on a sand-scoured bike with balding lug tires and bone-yellow

rawhide laced around its handlebars. Lynch led Harry across

the parking lot. Harry was singing to himself, a strange sound

in the enforced quiet of the site, and his song, if you could

call it that, was like someone randomly tuning a broken radio

up and down midnight miles of dial, bringing in gospel shouts

and snatches of twenty years of international pop. Harry had

his bike slung across one burnt, bird-thin shoulder.

"Harry's got something for you from Tucson," Lynch

said.

"You two know each other?" Turner asked, looking at

Lynch "Maybe have a friend in common?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Lynch asked.

Turner held his stare. "You know his name."

"He told me his fucking name, Turner."

"Name's Harry," the burnt man said. He tossed the bicy-

cle down on a clump of brush. He smiled vacantly, exposing

badly spaced, eroded teeth. His bare chest was filmed with

sweat and dust, and hung with loops of fine steel chain,

rawhide, bits of animal horn and fur, brass cartridge casings,

copper coins worn smooth and faceless with use, and a small

pouch made of soft brown leather."

This is just not true. I do NOT have an M1 yet. I have a group of co-workers that do. This group is normally what I would call the critics that are never happy with anything. With out fail each one of them has raved about how fast and responsive their M1s are. They say it nothing like anything else and is a game changer. They also rave about the fact that they can go a day without needing to find a wall socket. This is a group of devs and hardcore networking people.

From my view, no matter how powerful of an Intel system I have running Windows, macOS or Linux, the desktop UI are not up to the speed of an iPad. Getting that in a laptop...that would be great and I plan to try it out in the form of an M1 Air.
even if i agreed with you about some of those points (and i worked at google 2013-2015, internally criticized many of their processes, and was lectured about "my place" at google), everything you said is independent of reading into someone's motives. you're arguing with a point i am not making at all and trivializing the abuse timnit subjects herself to in going public with this.
She made an assertion that Florida was hiding covid hospitalizations. Where was the bar of proof then? That which can be asserted with no evidence can be refuted with none as well.

So tons of people in Florida died, and they hid it? Because that's the only way this wouldn't have been a scandal if the private hospitals and public health authorities had colluded to "hide" hospitalizations and deaths.

I'd say the most obvious is an old e-mail sent to her containing the username and password. Do we know for certain that the judge who issued the warrant was aware that the same username/password was repeatedly issued to different persons?

Or they could... check the logs, pull the IP, get a warrant, and get the account/ address associated with that IP.

This is basic stuff.

They got a warrant. Judges aren't going to issue a warrant based on asking a bunch of people if they sent a message.

"Decent people do stupid things" when oversight is lax, accountability is thin, wrong is not punished, and right is not highlighted.

All of these factors are the result of poor institutional control, and a lack of capacity of institutional leaders to incentivize good behavior and eradicate bad behavior.

There's no reason to pull a gun on an unarmed child in a household of people who have demonstrated no danger to the police executing the warrant, even if it took forever to enter the property. There is no planet upon which "she hung up on us and didn't answer the door for 20 minutes" is by itself a reason to threaten to kill someone.
Invading someone’s home with an assault team is unnecessarily aggressive. Police in the US are armed to the teeth, so it’s no wonder they overcompensate with aggression.

Of course, if they received a tip or confirmed that someone in the building is armed and dangerous, then that’s a different story. But simply going in with guns drawn in every single situation is simply unacceptable.
Wow. I happen to setup my PiHole at the same time and did not expect it to be the ISP. I even bought the newest RPi 4 and disabling lists without any luck.

The state didn't make them rich. You're giving credit where none is due.

Their hard work coupled with many others like them that worked with them made them rich. The same group of people could have been in another state and done just as well.

The people in California that made people successful are the Peter Thiels, Elon Musks and Keith Rabois of the area. VC money is the king maker. In the Bay Area it all started with Fairchild. It's the same reason why Seattle is successful. All the Microsoft money seeded the tech scene there.

These kingmakers have had enough of California and are leaving for greener pastures where they can continue to build successful companies without the state leaching off their work.

If they show up in Texas and other states and succeed in replicating their success, it will be clear it was them and not California that was responsible for the success. I'm glad California is rapidly losing its undeserved monopoly on tech.

The article has statements from her in there. Did she deny at any point that she didn't wait 20 minutes? Seems odd that she wouldn't deny that part. But true, for all we know, none of the facts have been corroborated. To get the warrant, a judge would have to sign off on it with evidence meeting a probable cause standard. Also, this is the journalist's story, not necessarily one of either party.

I do include the DOM API in my statement, but I do not include non-standardized browser APIs, which attachEvent seems to be.

I'll refine my statement to "The JS standard never introduces breaking changes".

attachEvent never was part of any standard, and is therefore subject to breakage. Non-standard APIs should never be part of a comprehensive guide to the language in the first place.

The alleged crime is unauthorized access to a government communication system and has nothing to do with covid-19 data.

The evidence provided in the article for the crime is flimsy at best however. The communication system had a shared username and password for everyone and the warrant was reported to be based on an IP address that was believed to be the source of the unauthorized access.

It seems reasonable to go 50/50 on either of:

1. they looked for and found a reason to charge her with this as retribution for her work.

2. she was disgruntled enough about being let go that she illegally accessed a poorly secured government system to send a retaliatory communication.

There is no where near enough information to know which is which though.

I complain all the time about the cable companies, but this is a thread about SpaceX. As irrelevant as that comment is, it's even less relevant arguing that using funds to build a LEO/VLEO satellite ISP (that will probably get divested at some point) will somehow help them get to Mars. Commercially there's no point in going to Mars so it takes political willpower and nations to finance it on a scale that's many orders of magnitude greater than anything done at the moment (more than even the JWST).

> Strategies for building systems that can be adapted for new situations with only minor programming modifications.

The problem is I'd rather make a medium size changes to a simple system than a minor change to a complex system.

>The authors explore ways to enhance flexibility by:• Organizing systems using combinators to compose mix-and-match parts, ranging from small functions to whole arithmetics, with standardized interfaces• Augmenting data with independent annotation layers, such as units of measurement or provenance• Combining independent pieces of partial information using unification or propagation• Separating control structure from problem domain with domain models, rule systems and pattern matching, propagation, and dependency-directed backtracking• Extending the programming language, using dynamically extensible evaluators

And this doesn't sound like a simple system.

Its a cost savings measure. Tesla is adding an imaging radar to their cars (which gives a LIDAR-like output) because their current sensor suite doesn't cut it. "LIDAR is a crutch" is Elon trying to rationalize why he advertised cars without the necessary hardware as capable of autonomy.

My favorite piece of cop story-telling was the photograph the Philly FoP posted of a child they claimed was abandoned during recent protests, imploring citizens to help them help children such as them and that they weren’t their enemies.

It turns out those police officers had been a violent mob that swarmed a woman’s car, ripped her out of it and gang assaulted her before arresting her (she was later released without charge). The child they broke the window and took him out before taking his picture and using it for propaganda. But they got their child for a photo op, so I suppose it was justified.

> Having an IP address alone is not generally probable cause enough to get a warrant, because they are regularly rotated, and shared, across geographic areas.

It might not be enough to convict her, it is enough to get a warrant. While they do rotate, ISPs do this with law enforcement a fair amount and I'm pretty sure they keep track of who owns which IP at any given moment.

> And that's assuming nothing proxying that connection at all.

A clever knowledgeable person would proxy, most people wouldn't know how. This is why I said it would be a foolish hacker. It's also possible someone else tapped into her wifi and did it. Or maybe there was no IP.

I'm just suggesting what is the most obvious piece of evidence which a judge would accept to grant a warrant here.

I'm sorry but this is absurd.

No the police did not "raid" her house. The showed up at her house and knocked on the door for 20 minutes until she eventually answered the door, and was arrested.

They did go into her house with guns drawn, presumably because the other people inside were refusing to come out.

To people who are shocked that they would do this: there are like a billion guns in The United States. The cops are doing this because the threat of somebody shooting them is real. To avoid this: when the police show up at your house, with a warrant, come outside unarmed. Part of the respect of due process is reciprocal. They have a warrant, which was granted to them by a judge. They aren't requesting to come into your house, they are ordering you to leave, as a part of a functioning judicial system.

On this person's twitter account, she calls these people the "gestapo".

I'm sorry, but no these are not the gestapo. The gestapo were a secret police used by the Nazis. They showed up at people's houses and killed them or sent them to death camps. They didn't use a warrant, politely knock on your door and try to call your phone for 20 minutes, and eventually take you to a jail cell where you would be granted a trial.

I'm so fed up with the holocaust denial that these people engage in when they make these outrageous comparisons. The Nazis were NOTHING like contemporary America. NOTHING. They were loading human beings into train cars, sending them to industrial killing facilities, and killing them. Sometimes they would perform vivisections on them, they would be raped, and tortured, and starved to death if they waited long enough to be killed by the gas chambers.

That is so, so, so far from anything that is happening in The US, and every time somebody tries to make one of these comparisons it only causes people to forget who the Nazis were, what they did, and how horrific it was.

This woman's home wasn't raided, she was served a search warrant. These people weren't the gestapo, they were a civilian police force.

Stop this.
