And pointing a gun at her children is just dandy, isn’t it? Cops training and behavior is one huge problem in the US. The other part of the problem is people like you, people who justify and normalize their violent behavior. If i were to choose what’s worse I’d say it is actually not the cops who are trained poorly, it’s people like you whose thinking is distorted towards violence

Yeah. That’s not really what we’re talking about. You can tell the difference, right?
> You’re cowards and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Please, this is not the tone we want here. The HN guidelines are important; e.g.:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

In addition, the above comment is a hasty generalization. So it is both mean-spirited and poorly reasoned. Two words for Key and Peele "substitute teacher" fans out there: churlish and fallacious.
This is wrong.

Dell had a 2560x1600 LCD in 2007. https://www.cnet.com/products/dell-ultrasharp-3007wfp/specs/ https://www.dell.com/downloads/emea/general/ultrasharp%20300...

Dell and Sony also had laptops going as high as 4K in 13" form factors around the same time. Yes they were high end. So too was the MBP.
Examples? (Bonus if you state examples with delayed compliance and possible presence of weapons)

Her whole family had headphones in? She had headphones in even while talking to and hanging up on the police? Seems unbelievable in case.
...Ouch.

Fair point, though.
This program is about giving internet to under-served communities so their children can do remote schoolwork and things like that. What exactly is your problem with that?

Some restaurants serve soft drinks with ice that is divided into very small chunks instead of decent sized cubes (probably to get more surface area for faster cooling).

Many find it annoying to drink those without a straw.
> When I started an organization which was taken over in a rather hostile way, I was very careful to make a bunch of legally-binding promises before the takeover happened, to help prevent it from becoming too evil.

I'm glad you had the presence of mind to do this and I'd be interested to hear your hostile takeover story. Thanks in advance.
My point was more that when the end came to the El Faro, it most likely came quite suddenly. There were numerous opportunities to avoid disaster.

Several other factors also appied.

The stories of ships vanishing without a trace, likely due to rogue waves, are quite chilling.

That's definitely an influence of composers like Brahms living in the shadow of Beethoven.

I don't think a law requiring you to not distribute the changes overrides the license clauses terminating your license for not distributing them? It's not the license givers problem that you can't comply with the license, don't use it then?

Surprised to see your downvotes.

The police were literally started in the late 1800s to protect capital and share the responsibility of cost across all people. (In the South, they were tightly related to patrolling for slaves, in the north they were predominantly helping wealthy merchants protect warehouses and other stores of wealth.)

In the decades since, the police (and their unions) have had a long, long history of right wing action.

The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) is known for their 'Red Squad', which was used in the 1900s to bust up unions, leftists, and people suspected of being communists. They regularly welcomed literal Nazis into their ranks in the 30s and 40s.

The stories aren't unique to Portland either. A common piece of police iconography is a Punisher skull. Police with SS tattoos are not uncommon.
That's a bit misleading as it's going by the actual city population and not the metro area. For instance, SF proper is only about 850k, but the metro is 5M... 9M if you count Oakland, etc.

Pollution of almost all forms should eventually be made illegal. There is no reason the broader population should have to suffer from the externalities of profit seeking companies.

What other countries are doing in this regard is irrelevant. The U.S. is largely considered the leader of the free world. We need to start acting like it and set examples the rest of the world can follow.
I have the same setup and controllers aren't really issue on modern games anymore - they're all released for consoles as well so they usually feature good controller support.
> The Bay Area is very walkable but that’s mainly SF. The tech burbs of Palo Alto , Menlo Park are not super walkable and you are relying on the BART and other public transport .

Even SF is not very walkable compared to Chicago, DC, Philly, Boston, etc. (All significantly cheaper than SF.) Even by American standards, the BART is a pretty second-rate metro. (And that's not even counting the fact that nowadays it's essentially unsafe at night, for single women, etc.)
This is a genius bit of marketing.

I'm trying to find a name or term for this underlying ethical dilemma; i.e. resign out of protest versus stay and try and be a force for good. I'd like to read some philosophical perspectives. Suggestions?
To your point, my traceroutes on this problem often have NTT in them. It’s mostly Japanese websites, but also Wikipedia.
I always found the hex grid useful in Battletech as your facing has an impact on where you get hit and having 6 sides provides more potential combinations of facing.

"at gunpoint"? Seems like you're painting with some very broad strokes there.

In any case, it seems there's more than meets the eye here. Her team INCLUDING her manager appear to be standing by her and they would likely know the details better than any of us.

For people who are interested, Harvard's CS165[1] is a great course about how to build storage engines for relational databases.

Topics include memory vs disk I/O, the memory hierarchy, buffer pools, B-Tree indexes, query optimization, and more. Throughout the course, you have a project to build a columnar relational datastore with C.

I don't think the lecture videos are all publicly available, but you can learn a lot from the slides and readings.

Reporting accurate data on the current pandemic when government officials couldn't be trusted to do so. On the balance of evidence I don't think it's that likely that she was responsible for the unauthorized access, and even if she did I don't think the ethics would be as cut and dried as you're making them out to be regardless of what CEH says. What if that message saved lives? What if, as a hypothetical/counterfactual, it had saved thousands of lives?
> Again, this fits the pattern of half-truths and lying by omission that she uses to fuel her sensationalism.

Her key claim (She refused to "manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen."[1]) doesn't appear disputed by any of the counter narrative, which seems mostly about smearing her about a cyberstalking charge related to her personal life and questioning her credentials[1].

> My brother, a Portland living, Bernie Sanders voting guy who is in charge of the covid data analysis for a large, global defense contractor (he does it all day, every day) has called her an irresponsible hack from day 1.

Well that settles it? Although with ESRI crediting her work on the C19 dashboard[3] and Google finding her skills credible enough to work with her on the school opening dashboard[4] I'm think there is some evidence that perhaps your brother-in-law's "day 1 judgement" might have been rushed.

Are there any evidence of private equity providing benefits for society? Sometimes it looks like they have a inverse Midas hand, everything they touch putrefy.
I use the service. The name of the service is sort of misleading advertising. In reality what you get is protection from theft of a card number when shopping online (this is what happened to make me decide to use the service), spend limits on reusable cards (for something you pay a recurring payment for, this comes in handy when a merchant raises their rates and doesn't tell you) and you can use any name and region and so protect your identity from being sold by merchants to advertising firms.

Your bank still has access to everything (and they sell everything, of course) and the service itself also has access to everything. But all in all it is a good layer of insulation from merchants and vendors and has some useful features. Think of it like a VPN service for card payments.
Well what it is is that obarun has systemd and systemd-libs blocked in /etc/pacman.conf (ignorepkg)
what arch developers do is they add systemd dependencies to almost everything they can
but when i edit some specific pkgbuild and remove systemd as dependency, i am able to build this application fine and it runs good without cancer!!!!!
And it is annoying, cuz if you want use these programs on arch based distro without systemd, you can't!!! you have to waste your time to remove those nasty dependencies.
Other distros have dummy pseudo-systemd-libraries and elogind but obarun doesn't so packages are 'cleaner'

few days ago i tried to install qemu on obarun, and guess what brltty (qemu dependency) requries systemd to function!! cuz arch linux devs think they do!!! they put this cancer to dependency, what for??
So because i use obarun i downloaded brltty from aur, removed systemd from dependencies from PKGBUILD and guess what, i have managed to build and use qemu without systemd!!!
so why do arch developers add systemd dependencies all the time to packages if it's supposed to be just an init system??? And those packages run fine without systemd?? What's the fucking point??
Prediction in online multiplayer games has been around since real-time multiplayer games existed. From my own first experience the first versions of counter-strike 1.x had it, but I'm pretty sure it started quite a while before that.

And yes its a classic arms race, in the simple example I can connect my bot to the display output and to input as keyboard and mouse / gamepad and you could probably pretty easily get an aimbot that's superhuman.

The solution is not a technical one, just like DRM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_hole

A backdoor is never a solution. It can, and will, always be abused. Furthermore, warrants are also trivially abused which I have seen done first hand.
"avoid both panicky and oblivious people"

That piece of advice can be generalized to any survival situation.
Yes, I think you should assume something else.

I provided a reply above from my point of view: I use a computer that has English as a primary language, my Chrome install is also English and I don't live in Ukraine. And of course, I have never added Ukrainian language in my Chrome settings. And yet it "guessed" that I speak Ukrainian. The key bit here is that browsers may modify the list of languages even after you go to the settings and remove all languages except for English (for the record, Chrome also "forgets" that I told it never to translate Ukrainian after I remove Ukrainian from the Accept-Language settings, which is annoying).

So, I guess you are a native English speaker and simply never had any exposure to this "customer journey". I hope my explanation gives you a glimpse into why an experienced software engineer may be still surprised to see a website detect a language they are not using in the system.
They were clearing a corner (assuming the kids were off-frame since the video didn't show it). I see no problem with what was presented in the article/video. Training and behavior is a major problem, but I don't see it in this case. If you had any training, then you would have understood there was no abuse in what was presented.
I don't fully understand resigning on principal. Hopefully this argument is naive and someone can correct me, but why not stay and fight for what you believe in? I worry that leaving is like removing the last vestige of hope.

If Blank acknowledged that his departure was because he would have a terrible time working with a bunch of baffoons and so he quits, I would be more sympathetic. But if he believes that his protest will somehow make things better, or that it's the right thing to do for the sake of the common good, I'm confused.
The Swine Flu Panic of 2009: Reconstruction of a Mass Hysteria (2010)
Well, depends. If they're looking to replace the low- and medium end of the Mac Pro offerings, a SOC would be fine. If they are looking to exceed it in every way, then a separate GPU with 16x the current M1 GPU cores is necessary. (The GPU on M1 takes up about 30mm2-40mm2). Put that on a TSMC N5P process, and that will be quite the setup...
This old bullshit anti-Musk propaganda nonsense again. Some people will just do anything to prove that actually there are no special people. Everything is just privilege, we would have 100s of Elon Musk if only not for income inequality.

And if reality doesn't actually line up with that, hey why not just invent a bunch of stuff.

We can do this infinity. Somebody that grew up poor in the US has success. Well, he had food as a child, 100s of starving African could have done the same, but 'who don't have the privilege necessary'.

So lets not give credit to anybody ever. If you were not a slave in Somilia at 13 that swam across the ocean by yourself and then build a new technology from the ground up, you deserve nothing and you are just one of those no good privileged people.

Too bad the author didn't discuss how to make a raft from deck chairs. Always bring 50' of para cord and a compliant knife. Perhaps a discussion of what sort of non-obvious cutting instrument would be good to bring. Nail clippers? A plastic knife with a ceramic edge? Like one of these:

I am glad you’ve found a way to make a living while giving away your art. Really. That’s great. (There’s no way for this to not sound sarcastic, but I’m being genuine.)

But I am not clear what argument you are making? Are you arguing artists should not have the right to charge others for their art? Or can they only charge money if they give up something of value in return?
I mean let’s be honest, the name is kind of saying something else too. When I first heard of feminism as a teenager, I was opposed to it simply because it sounded like sexism. I was quickly told off by the adults in the room, with zero discussion of the subject. You _should_ be a feminist, basically.
Honestly this seems like a bonkers denial of reality: the State is exactly the embodiment of the use and monopoly of violence. Pretending otherwise is ignoring hundreds of years of empirical data.
Oh no, anything but that.

> My point what they said little about the US Navy’s overall capacity for warfare.

The reason for the fairly significant consequences, the global stand down, etc., is because, as many experts wrote at the time, they said a lot about the US Navy’s capacity for warfare.

> Rates of accidents that are completely unacceptable in peacetime are a rounding errors in a significant war.

Sure, because war results in change in priorites in which the same skill and capacity will produce a much higher accident rate than peacetime.

But a high peacetime accident rate, even if lower than the accident rat that would be acceptable in wartime, demonstrates an institutional incapacity to operate as directed successfully, which is a severe warfighting liability.
In practice feminism seems (to me) to advocate for women, not for equality, which is fine by me, women needed advocating for. I just don't buy this equality argument.

I'd be 70% to 90% convinced if the government claimed they had made contact with aliens and they exist. I'd be convinced 100% only when I interacted with one directly.
Sometimes your Stadia build is done by another company, or is using some obscure Stadia_VK extension, or your renderer is statically linked, so you'd have to do another build to switch to VK. Whatever it is, it's probably just enough work, and DX11/DX12 works better enough anyways that there just isn't enough incentive to spend the effort to get your VK backend running on Windows.

No, I’m saying that discussion of TW on HN is dominated by points that aren’t relevant if you’ve used it. There are plenty of real ways to criticize TW—the choice of variants is quirky, dev builds slow hot reloading a lot, it doesn’t cover a lot of cases which leads to “Bailwind”, and more I’m sure that I’m not thinking of now—but the criticisms that “it adds too many classes to HTML” or “semantics!” are boring and not useful.
I'm not convinced any of those would last even hours without an army of SRE's holding them together.
Again, "defund the police" is a motte and bailey argument: its activists will claim it's all about reform, but once they have your attention and know they won't be substantively debated, watch that word "defund" turn quickly to "abolish". And no solutions will be forthcoming about how to deal with criminals.

I don't perceive Google as a ethical company and this has been explicit to me for years now.
That said that's not really a problem or uncommon. Why would companies want to be ethical? The only worry is what affects their bottom line, and for that you only need to appear ethical.

I don't understand why people are so naive to think they can get millions of dollars from their employer and do whatever they want.

All great ethics leaders (i mean Ghandi, Mandela, etc) had their life severely impacted b y their choices and they were not sitting on the fattest payroll on the planet.
And that was the easy part: the reason why they are great is that they still managed to deliver their message to the world, despite their limited resources and harsh conditions .

I hope Dr. Gebru can rise to that level. We definitely need more ethical leadership.
