It's possible to support CHOP's intentions as non-terroristic and also think that the deaths are not OK. I personally don't support CHOP but I think the deaths were caused more by negligence than malice: they didn't intend for violence and death, but they eventually lost control of their cop-free paradise. Some would argue that was inevitable and that's what made the whole thing a stupid idea in the first place.

CHOP started as a bunch of protestors who saw the police make the terrible strategic decision to withdraw from their own precinct building and said "hey, let's declare that this area is self-governing to make a political statement about how police presence isn't improving things." And it initially really was peaceful enough to walk your kids through to look at all the hippie positivity. The chaos and violence came about after the "autonomy" went on way too long and opportunists (anarchists and wannabe vigilantes) moved in.

Everything would have worked out a lot better if the CHOP folks yelled "you're retreating? This is our neighborhood now! Rah, rah, rah!" and then a day or two later the cops said "very funny, you made your point, but we are coming back and you better get the fuck out of the way or get your heads beaten in" and that was the end of it.

The words "predict" and "prediction" are used here and in the original article on Oklab in a way that I'm not familiar with.

For example:

> For this reason I have designed a new perceptual color space, designed to be simple to use, while doing a good job at predicting perceived lightness, chroma and hue.

What does it mean for a color space to predict lightness, chroma, and hue?
I asked a panhandler what meal to order for him from the restaurant where he was begging. He ate one bite, asked me again for cash, and threw it away.

Begging on the streets is unsafe for the homeless and for the public - giving that way promotes the activity. It's generally much better to give to public service organizations that can coordinate broader care.

That said, if you feel you should give to someone, do it.

(And I don't think anyone with even introductory economics knowledge thinks free markets solve everything.)

I don't play computer games in many years, so I vaguely thought that happened decades ago. There used to be something called Steam.

One of the stranger bull theses I've seen was that GameStop of the future will let you order the parts to build a custom gaming rig, they'll be delivered to the store, and experts will hold your hand while choosing parts and assembling them.
25% longevity improvement in mice doesn't usually translate to the same in humans (calory restriction is an example).

I'm on Android. I use an app called Pushbullet, which mirrors notifications but also enables text and file sharing between all your devices. Sharing is instant. I also enable "open immediately on browser", meaning if I send a link from my phone to my computer browser then it'll automatically open a new tab with that link. It's pretty neat, it's really two or three taps away from any web browser tab on my mobile (open menu, hit Pushbullet shortcut; or open menu, open sharing menu, push to all devices).
> Then you're not even trying to see any perspective but your own. "Terrorist" should mean violent, radical extremists. If you're saying that all of the protestors are terrorist then you're either loosening the definition of terrorism to mean anyone who commits a federal crime, or you're saying that all of those people at the rally were ready to start gunning people down.

Didn't say that.

> The relationship with the innocent bystanders is the same that I said before -- intent. The people who went to protest outside are protestors. The people who went to break into the capital and steal, march, whatever, are insurrectionists. The people who went with weapons are terrorists.

You didn't understand me.

> It's already accurate to call them insurrectionists, why add controversy to it by calling them terrorists?

There was also a few court cases in the 70s and 80s that made it very difficult to involuntarily commit someone to a mental institution. Some of them are:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Connor_v._Donaldson

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addington_v._Texas

If a mentally ill person doesn’t want to stay in a mental institution, authorities basically have to wait until they cause significant harm to be classified as dangerous before being able to do anything.
It’s the normal sense of the words, because it’s about perception rather than any hard ground truth. Hence “predicting perceived lightness, chroma and hue”.

We don’t know how any given person will see and interpret light, so it’s all about guessing what will look right to most people.

You mean if every gamer just gave the disc to a friend to play? People do that all the time. It’s fine because it doesn’t scale as large as GameStop.

Let’s consider digital sales. Many people would like “used” sales of digital goods. (Is it really used if you make a new copy from the same, or possibly different, source bits?)

Imagine if digital licenses could be transferred instantly, for free, and infinitely. In such a world there would be a new middleman. Let’s call it WoodStop.

In this world WoodStop would offer a launcher. When you want to play a game it would acquire a license and launch the game. When you stop playing it releases the license. In this world the total number of licenses that EVER need to be sold is the peak concurrent user number. After launch week no new copies of the game ever need to be sold! In fact most games could probably sell 10% of their launch week sales and no player would ever have to wait to launch their game.

This system obviously does not work. Not with the initial licenses being sold for $60 at least.

Digital goods are _weird_. They cost upwards of $100,000,000 to create but cost less than a penny to download. And yet everyone on this HackerNews website earns a very good living producing work that can be infinitely reproduced for effectively free.
Something tells me you were the toxic one.
It's a good point, I wasn't precise in my language. A good way to understand it is that if two different colors have the same lightness (or hue, or saturation) in some color space, that "predicts" that they will be perceived to have the same lightness as well. It's impossible to get these predictions exactly right (in part because actual perception depends on so many variables), but some can be better than others.

Another useful function of a color space is to predict the threshold of when two similar colors are just barely perceptibly different.
I don't read the news much, so this is the first I'm hearing of people attacking the White House. These supposedly Trump-supporters... were attacking Trump?

99% of the time I've heard this argument, that dollar ends up going to neither.

Instead of trying to decide who is worthy of your dollar, perhaps consider what that dollar is worth to you vs. what it is worth to them.

If you give them a dollar and it's spent on something you don't approve of or you think they are not deserving that on them. If you don't give them anything because you assume they might not be worthy, that's on you.
Probably, but then what? The person I'm replying to stated that they "have no way of tapping into it and storing it", and I don't think that changes suddenly if there's a court order.
And here you are posting your pro-Google stance on multiple comments in the same thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25839278

We should realize that we all succumb to the same biases when communicating in an online forum and exhibit the same tropes - exasperation at the loss of our 'secret hangout', frustration that companies we like get bashed repeatedly, and over-analyzing and drawing broad conclusions from strangers on the internet.

Try to enjoy the good responses and don't get so bothered by the rest! Or maybe there's another community that is more enjoyable out there. Personally I can put up with some of the noise and repeated points like yours because there's still plenty of value for me in these posts. Best of luck.

ZIP commonly uses DEFLATE which is LZ with a 32k window + Huffman, whereas LZH went up to LZ with a 64k window + Huffman. I suspect the doubled window alone is responsible for much of the improvement.

According to http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/ARJ , ARJ uses something similar to LZH's lh6 algorithm, which is LZ with a 32k window + Huffman, so the difference could be due to ARJ's reduced file format overhead compared to ZIP, or perhaps slightly better Huffman codes.
> We think that Amazon’s behavior is inconsistent with the norms and values that are especially important in the open source ecosystem.

It is not, Elastic does not have a monopoly on what open-source is or mean.

> Our license change is aimed at preventing companies from taking our Elasticsearch and Kibana products and providing them directly as a service without collaborating with us.

Therefore they admit that their market strategy was bad to being with. A lot of open-source technology is being used extensively by AWS/Azure/GCP. I don't see the maintainers of Kubernetes, MariaDB, [insert your favorite OSS project] or even Linux arguing that they are somehow owed money for a product they voluntarily distributed under a permissive license.

> When Amazon announced their Open Distro for Elasticsearch fork, they used code that we believe was copied by a third party from our commercial code and provided it as part of the Open Distro project. We believe this further divided our community and drove additional confusion.

Then sue them and be done with it.

Every time this particular subject comes up I get slightly riled up because it is just a display of misplaced after-the-fact outrage over poor business development planning. Elastic grew because of that open source license and benefitted from a wide adoption because of it. Now that they realized that giving away software isn't a great way to make money they pull this bait-and-switch and expect "the community" to blame the big bad company.

> I've brought over a bagged lunch to a homeless person specifically asking for food, only to be roundly rejected without comment or inquiry. Guy begged for food daily.

I imagine that this isn't the norm, though.

> I've given money to a homeless person asking for money for a cab to the hospital. They had a visibly and badly injured hand. After I gave them the money they stopped me from calling a cab from my phone, and (upon perceiving me as having left), pocketed the cash and laughed. They never went anywhere and just hung out.

How much do hospitals cost where you live? I'm not saying that this person wasn't an asshole, but for many people, they see no point going to the hospital if it's going to leave them in the red.

> I've had a friend offer a stack of jeans to a homeless person asking for pants, only to have them tossed all over the ground right in front of my friend. They only took their favorite pair.

What were they going to do with the others? Where do you think they could store them in a place they wouldn't get mouldy, wet, damaged, etc.?

> I've taken someone desperate for food into a convenience store to pick out a meal, only to be run out by the store owner.

Why is this the fault of the homeless person?

It's a pretty common sentiment I've seen lately even here on HN, for example all of the threads about how amateurish Parler is/was (LOL did you know they're so stupid they didn't know to strip image metadata?), like we told them to go make their own website but then mock them while they learn how to do it. I'm just sick of being mean!
It's a bit strange to me, because how does a colorspace "predict" anything?

But maybe I get it. Is it that since a lab colorspace has lightness and opponent color coordinates, a lab colorspace, for example, "predicts lightness well" when a small increase in the L coordinate leads to a small increase in the perceived lightness of the resultant color?
The first one is an aggregate, the second and third were just among the top of my Google results (and CNN has been pretty biased against Trump for his whole presidency), and I do specifically call out Rasmussen.
Well if one doesn't care if their donations are used for good purposes they can as well send them to me.
That's amazing. I have had my car stolen, no thanks to the alarm, and later recovered, thanks to the immobolizer kicking back in. Immobilizers are all I use now.
Gotcha, that's frustrating. I was mostly just asking to try and brainstorm, thinking that we might be able to come up with a way for you to access it if we knew anything about how it worked and/or other parties are able to access it.

Though I doubt that Parler has many employees, it seems unlikely the emails from your hosting company would be read by the CEO. It's entirely possible both people are telling the truth.

I had this initial impression with PyCall from Julia, and would point to my own Conda env. But I quickly discovered when I ran my code on another machine, that it was a bit annoying to have thought I installed all the dependencies only to find the python ones missing. The auto install addresses this use case (for distribution/ sharing).
> Most people are just as smart as you are.

That's a pretty bold assertion on a site filled with engineers.
"Am I alone to feel work-from-home made things worse?"

No you're definitely not. You're just part of the 50% that needs an official office with other co-workers there. And there is nothing wrong with it. Personally I am on the other 50% but I do it for over 13 years now - started freelancing from home in Dec 2007 and never looked back.

What is typically now is the wrong response all companies always had. Before whole covid situation companies wanted all boots on the ground at the office, even when 50% of the people were more productive at home. Now it's the reverse situation where the "office" style people are less productive.

The right response would be to let people that want to work from home, and are productive that way to do it, and the other ones to come to office if that's what they want. That would maximize the productivity, but until a big company would actually make this case it will not be the norm in our industry.

> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

In short - I didn't say the things you're implying I do, and your comment comes off as bad faith posturing.
Another reason to stick to Brave (also in mobile).
I honestly wish Firefox was my choice but Brave has a better product proposition.
Wait until you have to work with clients that don't even have staging environments let alone automated testing. Source control, CI/CD, automated testing, pull requests, code reviews, feature flags, linters, good logging etc. might be the norm on HN but not everywhere, especially companies where tech isn't the focus.

It can also be a tough sell to make process improvements like this when the old way got them this far and they want new features now. I've worked with clients that don't even use source control, do all edits on production and there's no way setup to develop locally.

Studies that point what out?

> Well, reactive attachment syndrome is the expected outcome for something like 60% of placements,

Absolutely, completely false. Also nonsensically false that "mars bars instead of sandwiches" would get any intervention.

You are very misinformed on this topic. Almost everything you have said is directly, easily contradicted simply by looking at the widely available data on foster care. Children arrive in foster care with attachment disorders - the majority of children don't even enter foster care until they are too old to develop an attachment disorder, according to the diagnostic criteria. Almost 50% of children who are taken into foster care in the US have only one placement (1). (Unsurprisingly, being diagnosed with RAD correlates very highly with having more placements. There's likely causality in both directions there.)

I don't know why you have such a strong opinion here, but it's not based on reality.

Almost every user would have been free to use it exactly as they do today.
The qualitative change in the 1980's was a deep recession that saw a drastic reduction in HUD funding, combined with a 20-30 year long defunding of long-term mental health institutions. The combination left the economically disenfranchised and mentally vulnerable with high rates of homelessness.

It's notable that neither of these factors that had been keeping homelessness rates low were the result of a hands-off free market, but instead the product of social safety nets that, when removed, simply didn't catch people.

I'm not sure if it's deliberate on your part, but there are also more categories to homelessness than crazy and indolent. A significant portion simply "fall on hard times". Take this article [0] about the causes of homelessness in Seattle. Between eviction & loss of job, about 35% of homeless are find themselves there through economic issues. The other causes are worth reviewing as well. Crazy & Lazy simply don't cover it.
