I mean officer #2 even appears to have his finger on the trigger (officer #1 doesn't). There's a rule "never point a weapon at something you do not intend to destroy."

That's horrible. And should be grounds for firing the cop.

I'm not sure how many on HN have shot a gun. But if you've got a qualified instructor, before you are even allowed to TOUCH the gun, you need to memorize the 4 basic rules of gun safety.

1. Every gun is always loaded.

2. Never point a gun at anything you're not willing to destroy.

3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire.

4. Be sure of your target and what's behind it.

The second cop failed the last 3 rules. Was he willing to destroy the children? Was he ready to shoot when he put his finger on the trigger? Was he sure of his target and what's behind it?

Given that the answer is no, he shouldn't be allowed to handle that gun. He's a danger to the public, and a liability to the police department.

SNMP is a monitoring protocol and WoL is a great way to automatically control your screens. You can’t use WoL outside of the local network and SNMP is configurable and secure (if it’s at least v2). It’s not something you should be worried about.

TCP checksum is notorious for not catching all corruption, to the point that all protocols run over TCP should have their own integrity checking. TLS is good enough AFAIK, which lets most traffic off the hook these days.

In other words, everyone -- from the world's largest megabank to your Aunt Tillie's modest retirement plan -- is long low rates, so no one can afford to the see them rise much, let alone see them rise quickly and unexpectedly.
Medallions alone should be enough to make a difference. The efficient use of time probably has much less of an effect on earnings, if true.
No, because the VC money is equity rather than debt. Profitability doesn't include "make sure the owners get some cash." It just means you made more money than you spent this quarter.

Anyone with actual proofs, I think. We have to filter the source according to the type of information: a political tabloid isn't a good source of information for science, even if someone post it on HN. An accredited scientific journal is a good source. Furthermore, it's necessary looking for "red flags" in our source (critical reading): if the source has few verifiable facts or no verifiable fact at all, maybe it's a case of "alternative fact" (aka bullshit). The search for alien life is taken seriously by the scientific community and a researcher has all the motivations to be part of the history proving the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. If you ask me, I am "probabilist", I think that they could be out there. I'm waiting for evidences. This article is not.
The President referred to police brutality against journalists as a “beautiful sight.” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-revels-in-beautiful-sight...

There are plenty of prominent Republicans explicitly supporting Kyle Rittenhouse (not a cop, but a similar event.)

There are, of course, vastly more examples of explicit support for police brutality and other lawbreaking in opposition to protests.
You should check out the political compass [0]. It's an organization but I'm more interested in the compass itself [1], which has left and right on the X axis and authoritarianism and anti-authoritarianism on the Y axis. It seems to succinctly describe one's political ideology, although not to a granular detail. There is also the issue of multi-faceted extremism, where one takes views on different issues where when taken as a whole, the overall political philosophy does not fit into any one category. An example is being pro-gun-rights but left-leaning. PG wrote about this [2].

It was criminally overloaded. There were payoffs for inspections. The CEO had connections to the president and was found dead in a field. There is a lot more to it.

And yes the kids stayed inside the ship, following orders until it was far too late. It still makes me sick.
I wish I'd see more of those actual feminists call out against the misandrists that usurp their name.

It's not fair on them, but they need to if they want to stop the growing trend of equaling feminism with misandry.

I'm just a random guy in the internet, living in a country where I don't see much of either, but because of the internet I thought for a long time that modern feminism was indeed hatred of men rather than equality.
That assumes that HTMX wants to be fully compliant HTML code, which, by the author's optionality on data- vs non data- attributes, does not seem to be the case. This then is basically like JSX, it looks like HTML but isn't really, just syntactic sugar over structure, presentation, and logic operations.
It’s literally the No True Scotsman fallacy
Is there truly a risk here? The article opens with a discussion of a person predisposed to falls falling while holding a sufficiently sharp straw. The same could have happened with a knife or a pair of scissors or a fork. Hell, it could have happened with a sufficiently stiff plastic straw or bamboo straw—even a bubble tea straw.

The Starbucks recall the article mentions relates to a product defect unrelated to the above incident. The same recall could have been issued for _any_ utensil, thermos, or other durable item that Starbucks sells.

The article also cites dental risks, and almost parodies itself: “Just like we tell people not to chew on pens.” Well, yeah. I could also chew on my silverware and I'm certain my dentist would disapprove. The note about failing to clean the straws is probably the biggest risk to the average consumer, but the same risk exists with literally any reusable utensil or cup.

That article feels like it's trying hard to fish for a reason to be concerned about metal straws.
I realize this was written from a position of frustration (which I share) at getting run around by customer support, but I'd reconsider the blanket characterization of tech support staff as "idiots": they're doing a high-throughput job following a playbook they're given with, as you identify, no incentive---it's probably less about personal motivation than the expectations that are set for how they perform their job---to break rules to provide better customer service to people with 5% problems.
This seems to be a hastily-written 'summary', complete with misattributed photos, of a much better long form piece from a couple years ago.

I agree, but one also can't blame Knuth: he wrote the program the way he knew best (he's a machine-code programmer at heart), under the constraints at the time (portability at various academic sites circa 1980 practically dictated Pascal, then Pascal's limitations required a preprocessor like WEB, etc). In fact, the earlier (TeX78) implementation in the SAIL language was written less monolithically, as a bunch of separate modules.

He also did his best to make the implementation and source code understandable, publishing the program in print as an extensively documented/commented book (another reason for WEB), gave a workshop of 12 lectures about the implementation of the program, even had a semester-long course at Stanford with that book (program source code) as textbook (with exercises and exam problems). He also wrote TeX with hooks and some of its core functionality written as extensions using those hooks, hoping it would show others how to extend it. He has multiple times expressed surprise that more people didn't write their own versions of TeX. “Rewriting a typesetting system is fairly easy.” He seems to have overestimated the ability of others to read his code.

If anything, I think a lesson from the TeX situation is that one's work can be too good: if he had simply published the algorithms at a high level (only the Knuth-Plass line-breaking algorithm was published as an independent paper) then maybe others would have implemented/combined them in interesting ways, but by publishing the entire source code and offering rewards for bugs etc, TeX got a (deserved) reputation as a very high quality stable and bug-free codebase and everyone wanted to use literally TeX itself. What's worse is that for a few years after it was created, TeX was possibly more widely available and more portable (what with its TRIP test and all that) than any single programming language (one had a much higher chance of TeX macros working consistently everywhere TeX was used, than code written in say C or Pascal): so it must have seemed natural to write large things like LaTeX entirely in TeX macros. As “TeX macros” wasn't designed or intended as a full-fledged programming language, we can see the effects today.
I just watched the video, and I didn't see anyone have a gun pointed at them. I saw a cop holding a gun and another cop point his gun at the top of a staircase that's out of frame.

GOG doesn't have to be Linux friendly if we're talking about Proton since the entire purpose of Proton is to be a Windows compatibility layer.

Though GOG is Linux friendly, there are tons of games with Linux versions on it. The only thing you miss on Linux with GOG is GOG Galaxy but at least personally even though i use Windows i do not care much about Galaxy and instead i just download the games from the website (which notifies you if there are any updates).

If I think I'll get shot for no reason, then there's no point where I think I can do anything about my chances. There's just nothing you can do when your home is surrounded by people who likely have at least one person who's gone through "warrior training."

Your options are pretty much comply and hope you don't get shot, fight, hide somewhere and hope you don't get shot when they storm in, or set up a camera streaming to someone you trust just in case you don't survive. It looks like she used those 20 minutes to go with the latter option.
> In a good and functioning democracy (...) institutions to ensure that the government cannot abuse the powers granted to them.

This is the idealistic view. In the real world we have people in power, with their own personal interests, with institutions that are ever more distant from the people and with ever less consequences to face when they do wrong.

The one exception is perhaps Switzerland, and this would be more due to how local governments and cantons prevail over national leaders. The institutions are small and limited in reach. Aside from them, every model (US, the EU, China, Russian) relies on over-centralization and ever-expanding reach of the institutions and the consequential subversion of said institutions to the favor of interest groups.

So, unless you are Swiss I really don't have any reason to believe you actually have any power over the government, and I really don't believe you should be defending to give them even more power and attributions.

> maximises profit to the detriment of consumers

Last I checked, no one forced me to buy anything from Apple. I don't think closed systems are beneficial for me, so I don't buy them. No one forced me to buy anything from Google, either. No one forced me to buy a car or to live in an expensive metro area or even check any trendy bar with overpriced drinks. No one forced me to buy home appliances that can I not repair.

"Well, where I live there is only one internet provider, so I am forced to use it". No, you are not. It's just that the inconvenience of not having internet at home outweighs your willingness to get your community and put together an alternative. Also, more likely than not, the reason that there is no alternative is due to REGULATIONS that lobbyists from big telco managed to pass so that they have an advantage.

To truly believe that "regulations creates a level-playing field" is beyond naive. It's borderline harmful to you and for society at large.
Is this merely an assertion or do you have evidence to back up that this isn’t enough for probable cause? I believe a whole lot of people have been served search warrants due to ISP logs.
Any chance you still have that project/curriculum? Would love to see it.
This is from 2013, so I guess it comes up every so often (2019: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19184412). But, I've had it bookmarked since the first time I saw it come up. It's a great article for anyone who's ever played a hexagonal game or has thought about making a hexagonal game.

The source site also has a lot of great stuff on applications of computer science to less-thought-of aspects of game development (by which I mean people usually think of pixel-blasting 3D engines as "game development", but there's a lot more to it)

I think you are mis-gauging what happens to music over the course of decades. Bubble gum pop and similarly positioned types of hip-hop etc do very well when they are in fashion, but don’t earn as much consistently over the long haul.

I thoroughly agree, Linux KVM and GPU passthrough is amazing.

I was disappointed with USB for guests though, I found it impossible to restore my iPhone via iTunes on a Windows VM, because the USB device wouldn't automatically bind to the VM. Which is something even VirtualBox can do well. But maybe the tech has progressed, or there's a better solution to that issue now.
Diesel is definitely part of the story. High fuel taxes in the EU help lead to more diesel given their superior fuel efficiency. But more diesels mean more particulate matter.
In my opinion, police should be held to the highest standard. It seems like they're held to the lowest.
I think that's an argument for better training or a complete rethinking of training. More of the wrong training will just result in bad behavior getting more entrenched.

Related to that point, defunding may actually have the opposite of the intended effect. You may actually have to spend more money to increase accountability, change culture, and improve the quality of policing.
This is cool. I recently wrote an A* pathfinding system for a hex based game. Choosing a good coordinate system 100% makes this easier.
I agree with automating it, but I also have seen automated styles going too far, more often than not.

Automated styling should be kept minimal, like checking names and indentation. Absolute rules does not work because then you cannot deviate from it even if it is appropriate in the right situation.

The standard JavaScript checkers nowadays are ridiculously strict and forces me to spend time writing a less readable code. For example yesterday my code was invalid because I did not write properties of an object alphabetically. So I had to convert this:

{
host: ,
port: ,

key: ,

username: ,
password: ,
}

Into this mess:

{
host: ,
key: ,
password: ,
port: ,
username: ,
}

With tslint I cannot even execute my code if the formatting is invalid. So if I write a console.log or forget to add a space between the slash and the code I commented, the compilation crashes.

You need the proper training. You can review some of that training through right-to-know requests. You can also read The Tactical Edge. Many of the issues you see happen are because of incorrect or insufficient training. There can be an us-vs-them if it's not done right.

Also, the threat on a traffic stop is not to be dismissed - there are officers attacked during those stops. Those stops are not just for traffic violations, but can also happen if the vehicle matches one used in a crime or reported stolen. Do you really want to be unarmed when making traffic stops or other calls? Sometimes they may stop, not to yield to authority, but to ambush the officer so they can get away without being identified.
The 80/64 numbers are pretty misleading because they count sole proprietorships. I'd reemphasize:

> 2,933,198 firms with employees on the payroll. Everyone else owned 356,816 firms. Those same white men's firms had sales receipts of $8,221,010,815. Other firms had $88,657,443. That's nuts. Even more so when you consider white men are only ~33% of Americans. My guess is that COVID-19 makes this even worse, but who knows really.

White people aren't 89% (or 99%, in the case of sales) of the population. And at numbers this big, 7% is 210,000 firms. That's not nothing.

> This doesn't seem to be a particularly rational stance. If you don't have a good reason behind why it should be one multiple and not another, I don't think its your place to decide that multiple.

CEO pay isn't meritocratic and has all kinds of ills besides [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. I think generally the argument here is something like, "well, CEOs/CTOs/etc. just provide a lot more value than your average white collar worker", but the studies don't show that. Further, data show that (again) high relative CEO pay is bad for the company and bad for society in general.

I'd be remiss if I didn't also say that while we're spending a lot of time on high incomes here, high levels of wealth are far, far worse. We need policies to reign in disproportionate salaries certainly, but we also need a wealth tax. I could cite some more stuff but, frankly the best thing to do here is read Capital by Piketty.

> This sounds a lot like the oft-repeated "nobody should be a billionaire". Um, why not?

Because people are dying from poverty; they're losing their cars and houses; their kids aren't going to college; their parents aren't getting medicine they need to stay healthy and live; etc. etc. Meanwhile Jeff Bezos could give every person in the US restaurant industry $1,000/mo for a year and still have hundreds of millions of dollars.

You might dismiss that as emotional, but I think these are exactly the reasons people have money: to provide shelter for themselves and their loved ones, to get medicine, to get education. That's not emotional stuff, that's like, what are the basic needs of humanity stuff.

Moving from the relatively comfortable interior and heading to the high side, out in the elements, can be a pretty terrifying feeling. IMO one wants to resist it. The feeling of moving toward exposure on the outside feels kind of wrong. I only experienced it once but it was enough for a lifetime.
Defensive equipment promotes escalation, as there is less worry of harm. Defensive equipment promotes escalation, as it is a social signal that you come prepared to enact violence. Less lethal equipment promotes escalation, as it has a perception of being harmless and more acceptable to use in non-violent situations. The solution is to stop escalating, not to provide more methods by which to escalate while decreasing the risks involved in escalating.
