Excellent summary. And to make it worse the police were poorly trained and did a number of dangerous things:

- After the shooting it was over 30 MINUTES until an ambulance came for Breonna Taylor. What the fuck's up with that? It seems terribly wrong.

- 20 neighbors said they never heard the police announce themselves. The police said they did. So it's unclear if the police even said they were police.

- The policeman breaking down the door immediately put himself in the line of fire in the doorway, which he's not supposed to do, putting himself at risk and increasing the danger of the situation for everyone.

- Another policeman who was outside, once the shooting started, blindly shot through the windows of the apartment. He couldn't see what he was shooting at. I believe this was the only officer convicted of anything - for endangerment.

- Several shots from various officers went into neighboring apartments.

- When requesting the warrant, the police lied about their source of information.

- The police didn't have a formal plan for the raid.

And yet I see faces in my mind when reading Apple, Google, Facebook, but no faces when reading Armani, Dior, Versace. Not even if I try. Of course that's because I'm far more interested web tech than in the fashion establishment. Would be interesting to probe for "brand/face recognition" with people who aren't interested in either, e.g. car or spectator sports nerds.
Incidentally I've just read the book "Lost in Math" by Sabine Hossenfelder, and it really goes down into the problems of modern science, its funding, its "publish or perish", its fashions... A really excellent (and quite funny, too) book.
I added OCR into my Japanese dictionary app Nihongo recently, with manga as one of the key use cases I was thinking about. I came up with an interface I don't feel like I've seen elsewhere, where you just tap on words to look them up, so it doesn't get in the way when you're trying to read.

I'd be super curious if you think this could be a useful tool for translators. Here's a demo video if you want to see what I'm talking about:

To be honest it sounds pretty denialist to me when someone says you have to compare Denmark, Sweden and Norway, but adding other countries is "not comparable". To me it just sounds like cherry picking.

An example of a big difference between Denmark and Sweden is that Sweden has a much more lenient immigration policy (for better or worse). I have heard anectodes from (swedish) friends about how these groups fare worse. I can very much imagine that differences like this make the comparison between the nordic countries less valid, so to me it makes sense not to cherry pick those three countries.
> Coffee is a non-essential luxury?

Technically it is, though for most people the values involved are not an important issue even if they spend $10/day on fancy ones or the equivalent per year on owning and maintaining a fancy machine (and few people will do either).

But yes, as with all optimisation, the main focus should be on the single biggest cost, which in SF is housing: when I briefly considered a career move to SF, the rent was so out of proportion to the rest of the world that “learn to fly and commute by Cessna from Davis” looked relatively sane.
My company is pretty slow to adopt stuff fortunately. They paid to retain support for Windows 7 up until mid 2020. It's probably gonna be another year or two until someone even mentions distributing teams.
Continually making some progress on areas of your life that are important but not urgent.

Actively learning from your mistakes and successes.

Orienting your life towards having the most energy available. Although time is the ultimate resource, the lack of energy will always be the first limiting factor. Therefore prioritizing health, sleep, exercise, and other such aspects will always pay off far more than what you sacrifice on them.
"The two-space convention is left over from the days of typewriters."

And that convention itself came about as an imitation of common 19th-century typesetting style, where more space after punctuation was still fairly normal. Technological and aesthetic changes--the adoption of Monotype and Linotype machines, and the influence of early book designers like Bruce Rogers--started a trend to more even spacing in typeset printed books.
Yeah I’m sure plenty of lawyers laboured over this thing... Still doesn’t make it easy to understand. I think they could say that they (Apple) does not allow to track you, and they won’t facilitate tracking, but if an app does this covertly and without Apple’s blessing, it’s on the app and not on Apple. Of course that would put Apple on the line. Apple claims to care about privacy, but apprently not enough :)
> I would advocate that the extra spacing should be handled at presentation time. Not as part of the content itself.

TeX/LaTeX attempts to do this, IIRC. I know there are sigils to force that one way or the other when it guesses wrong.

I'm a 2-spacer, being of a certain age and having learned to type in school on an actual typewriter. I'm also heavily invested in the Web, and I get that multiple spaces are folded into 1 on HTML. I still do 2.

You can look up the 60 minutes interview [1]. He said anyone sick should wear a mask, and they should be saved for sick and healthcare professionals.

I thought he also qualified his statement then that there was no evidence of wide scale community spread yet, but that might have been a different interview.

Regardless, it does highlight how hard it is to communicate with the public about a topic that is dynamic and fast changing.

> I guess there is some underlying scientific ethos

The ethos is simple: all scientific models are judged by their predictive power, and nothing else. If your model does not make accurate predictions, it is wrong, period. Nothing else matters.

I agree that there is no single "method" that guarantees that models will satisfy the above criterion.
I'm not sure why you are supporting a racist symbol, or trying to convince me or anyone reading it isn't racist. Either you like to fight very low stakes or you've given into the rhetoric that causes these things to spread (eg tide pods look delicious so I can see why people would want to do it, but it is obviously stupid). I have conceded that I cannot explain it as racist on the surface, but you cannot accept that it is racist in its mechanism of spread as an idea that it could be racist... Which is racist enough for racists.
That's true -- maybe they merely skimmed over the article. That's the kind of info I'd probably miss when just skimming over something, too.

Not fast enough. And the last time I went away from home for about a week, the Wireguard tunnel on my EdgeRouter X broke so bad on the second day that the router interface became completely unreachable, the static host mapping broke and connected clients were having DNS issues. It needed a hard reboot, which was hard since I was hundreds of kilometers away.

I can't say for sure that it was because of the Wireguard tunnel, but considering how low my Wireguard usage was before without issues, it's my main suspect. After I got home, I hard rebooted the EdgeRouter and then migrated my DNS and Wireguard off of it. I've decided that the less things that my EdgeRouter X does, the better it is. I've also decided that if I get a new Raspberry Pi for my Wireguard duties, I'll leave the old one as a backup because you just never know.
You can program this way anything with adafruit display. I have LilyGo T-Watch and programming graphics feels like back in the 90's :)
No, I didn't misread the chart. I added up the total number of drinks across all categories and did the division. It just so happened that the total number of drinks is close to 100.

Yes, 75% is well over half.

Brands aren't perfect either. For example Volvo had a reputation for making great safe cars. The brand is now owned by a company with a reputation for making cars that disintegrate and obliterate the occupants in crash tests.

The same is true of Arc'teryx, Jaguar, and many other well known brands that have been sold off to companies with terrible reputations for quality.

Ultimately the only way to guarantee quality would be to vote for politicians who support strong regulations and a strong regulatory apparatus.

> Do you have a relevant study backing this assertion ?

The assertion is that the outcome sought by the intervention was (from context, in the short-term, before the other events mentioned in the comment) achieved; the curve was flattened in the early wave. That was the relevant expectation, and it occurred.
I don't know about you folks, but I've received so many "new" items from Amazon that were clearly used that I have largely stopped shopping there for expensive items. I think it's still fine for small gifts, plastic utensils, etc. But anything over 100 bucks I try to buy directly off the manufacturer's website.

I think Amazon needs to get a handle on their sellers and reviews ASAP because I am rapidly losing faith in the store.
Similarly, Anker, Choetech, and a few others to a certain extent.

Some of them come from the ashes of Alibaba rebrands, but a few start making decent products and are at least at what I'd consider "Belkin-level" but at a better price point.
why wouldn't they spin it the other way around? just record who agreed and who got it.
That would be suprising, given the quantity already produced by their partners worldwide. Because of the more standard supply chain they have many manufacturing partners. But I'll look for sources. Astrazeneca was always supposed to be a high volume player vs the others.

I'm not talking about "suppressing" anything. These are concerns. Valid ones. And yes, AI like all technologies is deeply, inseparably, mixed in with social and political problems.

We just have to be wise with this stuff. These are tools with "big boy" consequences, powerful like nukes but in a different way. I'm not optimistic we can handle it.

> I do not share the distain for the "softer" sciences often found in the hard sciences

It depends on what the disdain is based on. If the disdain is just based on "your field isn't physics (or chemistry, etc.)", I agree that's not justified. But if the disdain is based on "your models don't make good predictions", I think it's justified. Scientific models are supposed to be judged based on whether or not they make good predictions; if they don't, they're wrong. Models that make good predictions are much, much rarer in the "soft" sciences--many such fields basically have no models with any predictive power at all, yet their proponents claim they are "sciences" and want their models to be used to, for example, make public policy.

I'm sorry you took offense, I didn't mean to be rude. I'm just making a point about logic in general, not "your logic" whatever you mean by that. Fundamental drives and goals are necessarily axiomatic and so cannot be derived logically. Intermediate goals yes, but not base drives and objectives.

It's kind of a myth that Americans are generally pro-freedom. We're one of the most litigious, punitive, and highly regulated nations on the planet. The only freedoms people usually care about are speech and guns; there's more but nobody really cares about them and just lets their lawyers figure that confusing stuff out. If we value freedom, it's the freedom for multinational corporations to control people.
We do know the vaccine DOES contain PART of the syncytin-1 sequence. Is it going to be a problem? We do not know.

This professor doesn't know about how much of the sequence is copied. He doesn't know the widespread affect of mRNA vaccines because we're in new territory here and it's possible that the risk of autoimmune responses is higher with such vaccines. He should know better than to equate mRNA vaccines with more traditional vaccines.

With every vaccine, a small percentage of people suffer adverse and autoimmune effects.

As that professor well knows, we're NOT discussing possibility (with that billions of people lined up, it's all but inevitable). Instead, we're discussing PROBABILITY that it will happen and how many people will be adversely affected.

I'm not saying the vaccine is bad or that people should freak out and not get vaccinated (even some vaccines with high complication rates have historically been much more helpful than harmful). I'm pointing out that while the intentions of the professor may be good, they're definitely not speaking the absolute truth and aren't actually in a position to know all the actual details about the vaccine.

There's a 4th requirement: that the set has some way to return colliding entries on insertion (or provides access to the entry itself), which most don't. Otherwise lookup requires iterating the entire set.

> It's straightforward

It's really not. Straightforward is the other way around, this is convoluted and involved. It makes the library much harder to use for rather limited gains.

> Either the set type allows mutation of the objects so long as the parts relevant to comparison don't change

This sounds like a footgun requirement at best, I'm pleasantly surprised (for once) that C++ doesn't just let you mutate the entire thing at will.

This also used to be my strategy, but now I am concerned that competing brands are sabotaging each other by just leaving poor 1-star reviews. I say this as I have read some low reviews that just made no sense, or didn't reference aspects of the product that existed.

I still trust 1-star reviews more than 5-star, but I don't take them as gospel. As you said, if there is a consistent message across all the negative reviews from a mix of reviewer types, then it strengthens the signal quality.

Buying online sucks :(

Kinect alone was a ~$1B loss from what I remember. They bought 2-3 time-of-flight companies to develop hardware, $300mil from what I remember, and it turned out to be too early so they had to license from primesense (Apple bought them later). Then on top of that it turned out gameplay it enabled was abysmal(latency).
Yeah, I am curious how it was worded in 2018 in their new contract/agreement? I can't believe it would have been something similar to what Apple demands now for the Apps in the App Store
> How can someone claim to be moral, yet be in favour of legalized murder of those babies in similar situations today?

It is not possible for that person to claim a moral high ground. It is a sign of a gravely malformed conscience.

I think that most of those people haven't formed their own opinions, though, and mostly just regurgitate party platforms. It's not that they started from any reasonable base of knowledge and arrived at the wrong conclusion. It's just ignorance. While they could have been studying the ethical philosophers who made meaningful contributions on this topic, instead, they allowed social media and mass media to form their opinions for them.
This is fun!

Originally the reason I liked Amazon was that I grew up in an area that didn't have access to stores with higher quality goods. Wal-Mart's price sensitive nature and similar stores meant that most of what was offered was 10% less in price, but 30% less in quality / how long it might last.

Now on Amazon everything is a race to the bottom on price and quality and, it is really hard to find something that is good quality and if you do ... someone is probably willing to sell you a fake.

I've gotten a few items I thought were fakes, and when I post a less than glowing review (not even mentioning my fake suspicions) I'm often contacted and offered a free product for removing my review.... I refuse to take these offers, but I wonder how many people do.

Rather than what I sort of expected, Wal-Mart trying to be Amazon... Amazon seems desperate to BE Wal-Mart...

Yes, they ship custom JDK (BTW. This is now expected of all Java apps - jlink and lack of JRE since version 11) so they need to ship JDK that is Aarch64
AFAIUI the legal gray area with PSX emulation (and many other consoles) wasn't limited to just the ROMs, but also the console BIOS. Most emulators would tell you to dump (or find) your own.

Is that still the case, or are there free/libre reimplementations of these consoles' BIOS images out there now?

Seems like they offload the responsibility of ROMs to the user (good) but no mention of the BIOS part.

That's the case here in Spain for at least some of the oldest patients. Anaesthetizing someone frail and putting a ventilator down their throat stresses the system a lot, so isn't worth the risk - according to a doctor I know who was on the front lines. It sounded like standard medical practice (and she has worked in other countries).
