> how often are they great workers?

It's not about them being great workers or not. It's about them carrying their own weight at minimum instead of offloading that burden to the productive members of society.

There's no lack of jobs society needs filled that provides utility to society even when done by bad employees.

I don't think it is unreasonable for the productive to be fully decoupled and unburdened from the willfully unproductive.
Yeah, but even at 100 MByte/frame, we talk enormous bitrates for sensible frame rates.
You have to understand how the federal government works.

Now that something like this has been implemented and has been successful, it’s likely that it will be adopted more widely, perhaps at the state level. An enterprising congressperson (most likely one of their aides) will notice this opportunity and pick it up as a policy/platform to run on at which point legislation would be introduced that would allocate funds or direct the federal government and/or all states to implement this.

Another way is that a Federal agency gets wind of it and pilots it and then proposes to adopt it more widely.

Rochester Officer from Viral Pepper Spray Video Identified
Hannah Schneeberger has been identified as one of the Rochester Police officers that pepper sprayed a 9 year old black girl earlier this week. She was identified thanks to the Open Oversight database, the Reddit postings of an ex, her own social media activity, and of course the video of her pepper spraying the child in the back seat of a patrol car...

You're assuming that every time the police are called, there is a crime. You can scroll up in this post to see examples of people calling police when they are concerned for someone's welfare, and no crime has been committed. It happens regulary for want of other options.

We sorta have that already in the form of virtual memory. The next step might be SCM (Storage Class Memory) where we use very fast NVM in lieu of SSDs or HDDs. Higher latency RAM would just be another tier in the memory hierarchy if it catches on.
I thought that was odd too. Maybe the middle one was a practice swing?

edit - I watched it again more closely. Looks like he threw down the second ball and the middle shot was either a practice swing or he missed it altogether and it wasn't counted (which I think is fair given he was wearing a thick space suit in low gravity swinging one handed with a fishbowl on his head).

edit 2 - Just seeing child post. Guess I gotta watch it again :)

edit 3 - Yep, child post is correct. It's sort of weird how confusing this short video is. The second ball kind of appears out of nowhere, as if he was doing a practice swing and dropping the ball at the same time.

Taking your numbers at face value, it seems we have an inequity problem regardless of police involvement. The question becomes, why are Black people committing over 50% of homicides, and what impact does our current policing strategy have on that number?

I'm usually in favor of conciseness for one or two type parameters (much less so for any more than that), but if you do go full-words, “Value” is not much more descriptive than “T”, like writing “argument” instead of “x” for not much benefit. “Element” would be more descriptive of the role of the type parameter relative to the List type.

True, but I don't think that is what the OP was taking about. The language itself is rather independent of the runtime. Scala compiles to native code or Javascript as well.
Well, there are places discussing this... just not anywhere which is for “defunding the police”

That being said, totally agree. This will be and probably already is being abused.
I live in a suburban area where you cannot get a house under $2 million. It is extraordinarily safe. Yet if you read the NextDoor it seems like 1970s New York, with crime and danger around every corner.

Eyeball-oriented media always algorithmically boosts sensational news, which simply doesn’t reflect reality.

Traditional print media, which would be owned by an independently wealthy elitist family, didn’t need those AdSense revenues and would instead lead with articles about the local school play and flower festival, and keep the crime in a police blotter, which does reflect the experience of living here.
I saw a Model S driving in the Chicago suburbs a year or so before the introduction. There was a Roadster owner in my town and I wonder if he was offered the chance to do long-term testing in the weather here.
Ooooh, I see. You’re choosing to give people a hard time and nitpick, rather than respond to their intent. Good choice :)
If you think cops can’t commit you against your will I surely hope you never come up against their guns and nearly total lack of accountability.
But does it really? Can one not simply not use the features one doesn't need?

Also, I fully appreciate not rewriting things that are C and already working just because -- but surely if something is already written in a safer language then C isn't really a step forward either.
I don't think they mean qualified immunity. I think they mean juries acquitting officers, judges throwing out cases, grand juries declining to indict, and D.A.'s deciding not to bring charges.
To touch on the Map example, I do think Map<K,V> is just as clear and saves keystrokes, so that's how I'd write it. The "meaning" of K,V doesn't come from their names, it comes from Map.

I suppose clearer is a question of semantics, but to me there's not any more information conveyed by writing List<Value> vs List<T> - we already know T is a "Value" (because it has to be, due to List).

The data structure itself should provide the needed context - if the base data structure is so complex that the meaning of its generic parameters isn't obvious, that may be a case where naming them makes sense... but to me it's also a code smell of square-peg-in-round-hole.
> If they can make that affordable and usable for pro designers at every level, (which $3500 clearly would be)

I don’t know in what world would that be affordable.

It would be insane of Apple to invest billions in development to end up with a product that is not targeted for regular consumers.

It appears whatever you're looking for isn't in the article or any of the charts therein, but can you be more specific? What are you looking for?
I feel like this point is not made in good faith especially considering your other comments specifically praising cops and denigrating BLM activists.

To address your point however, it’s still a huge step up from having an arrest record in addition to being committed.

The pros and cons of types should always be discussed in the context of type systems. Types exist in a type system.

There are many, many things that can be expressed with types... depending on the type system. In Haskell, when you look at a function type, you instantly know whether it returns an optional value (a Maybe), or if it has side effects (IO), etc. You can also tell how general the function is, by how abstract its parameters are.

An example of something that becomes possible with a rich type system:

It says "police killings are the sixth-leading cause of death".

"Police killings" by definition includes shootouts, when they were fired at fist, seriously threatened with firearms etc.

Sure, police interaction can and should be strongly looked-at and there have been much too much unwarranted deaths by police but just attributing some cause-of-death ranking to police killings without justified/unjustified contextualization is downright misleading.
Fine. In the meantime, any objection to taking billions from a program that has dubious outcomes and involves violence and a permanent criminal record, and shifting it toward one that has dubious outcomes but doesn't?

It’s too low. The 20 people most responsible for willfully creating this epidemic should get lethal injection, the next 200 should get life in prison without parole. Then some measure of justice will be served, fines or no fines.
I agree with you. I should have read the picture descriptions before posting the link. I see now that they are indeed quite snarky.

The pictures themselves seem to have been made with sincere intent, and the fact that many of them were found in thrift stores suggests that the people who donated them to the stores thought that they had value. I myself have several paintings on my walls by an old friend, now deceased. I don’t know if they are “good” or “bad,” but they have a lot of value to me.

The great majority of cases don't go to trial. Instead people are threatened with punishments vastly disproportionate to their purported crimes, and thereby intimidated in to pleading guilty irrespective of their guilt. Defendants without the financial/social resources to mount a solid defense don’t want to take their chances when faced with a 20 year prison term or whatever, not to mention a slow process that leaves their life in limbo for months or years even if they do eventually prevail. A NYT story a few years ago claimed 97% of federal cases and 94% of state cases end via plea bargain.

For those who do go to trial, the right to a lawyer is often pretty weak support. Public defenders are grossly underfunded and overworked, and there is no guarantee that they will be competent or committed to the case.
That's a terrible set of choices available. What could you expect the police to do, anyway?
A ball is clearly visible at 46s. Watching it again, he swings 4 times. I don't see a ball for the second swing, but they are clearly visible for the other 3.

I understand that this is still a big problem in the air force when training fighter pilots with VR headsets. The fixed focal length means extended use still leaves pilots disoriented even after taking the headsets off. I would imagine this will hamper real world adoption and keep VR pretty niche for the time being. Using light-fields is the obvious solution but that's still a pretty nascent tech.

It's not entirely clear what problem VR is trying to solve in a lot of situations where's it's claimed to apply (like office use). There's obviously some places where it could be quite useful, but light-field fixed screens might offer a lot of similar benefits for a lot of these applications and at this point at least, that tech is a bit further along (and might be more comfortable for users).
> Thinking about iOS like a browser, arguably what Privacy Sandbox does is not that different from iOS 14's AppTrackingTransparency Framework

Apple's AppTrackingTransparency Framework harms a market that Apple is not a part of. That specific action doesn't have any monopoly connotations in my mind because it solely benefited the product that was changed. There are no knock on effects where now Apple Maps is worth more.

Also, in this case, the consumers that are harmed by Google's alleged monopoly are people who are buying ads, not people using Chrome. I don't do anything with ads, but the impression I got from other people is that it's much easier for a consumer to switch phones than it is for an advertiser to just not advertise with Google.

I do think Apple has monopoly issues, I just don't think ATT is part of it. That was a legitimate response to consumer demand for privacy.

The #1 use of VR headsets is porn and porn apps are growing. Porn apps have some advantages over video apps because

* a VR porn app is 6DOF, VR video is 3DOF
* a VR porn character has more presence. Their eyes can follow you, they can turn to face you, they can reach to your face, hands.
* You can interact at a VR character. You can't with a video

In other words, either Apple is going to need to support porn apps on the the app store or they're going to need to allow 3rd party stores.
Private insurance often pays providers better rates than Medicaid, so patients with private insurance are on paper more "desirable" than patients without. The commenter is suggesting that translates into kidnapping, essentially.
At least when I used it ~2 years ago: an extremely complex type system with a huge learning curve (unless you're going to just write Java in Scala), poor documentation, and a very slow compiler. That's to say nothing of the JVM-based runtime.

How would you deal with it?
It varies by state. In California, it’s essentially impossible to commit someone (source: I tried and failed, despite written permission from the person pre-episode, the blessing of their doctor, and the blessing of their family, multiple police reports from third parties, a divorce, eviction, repos, etc, etc.)

In CA if you do somehow manage to maliciously commit someone, they’re held for up to 24 hours, and an independent doctor assesses them. Also, there can be civil penalties (as in the article you cite, where the victim successfully sued the hospital).

If I had to choose between the two ridiculous extremes, I’d choose the Texas model.

I feel like most communities could really use a city-government-backed non-emergency medical dispatch. Not the ambulance/EMS (which is for emergencies and/or for bringing people to the hospital); not the police (who are armed and trained to respond with violence); just medical-ish people who could be called out to those in need of some important-but-not-urgent medical attention.

It could even just be a volunteer service of community members with good upper-arm strength, first-aid training, and an extended form of Good Samaritan-law protections. Semi-professional first responders, with no other qualification than being a first responder.

So basically, lifeguards. For places other than pools.

Some communities that don't have many fires dispatch their firefighters for this, and that works pretty well. But most fire units don't have enough downtime for that to be workable.
I've followed up and verified that indeed, most all VR displays have a static focal distance. Thank you for taking the time to correct my and others misconception on the topic!
There's also nothing stopping people from accumulating all the things they need for a pleasant life of leisure and hobbies and then once they achieve that deciding to freeload off UBI and enjoy those hobbies. I'm less than a decade out from having most of the physical belongings I need for the myriad hobbies I enjoy. Once I get there free time plus 20k a year will be more valuable than being a contributing member of society. This is basically the basis of the entire "dirtbag" lifestyle that many partake in. I've known many dirtbaggers in my life.

The entire idea behind FIRE is achieving a passive income that you earn by being a productive member of society versus UBI giving you for free with no obligation to contribute to society.
This happens all the time for officers and not for officers. It depends on what the political agenda is of the mayor and DA. Counterexample: look at what is happening in Portland right now. The DA is flat out refusing to bring charges against criminals.

(Also for a longer history of counter examples, see what happens to people who are criminal finaceers. Spoiler alert: nothing.)

What people fail to realize time and time again is so many of our contemporary issues come down to power struggles. It all has to do with power dynamics and how one set of grifters is vying to keep it over another set.

Were you as blown away just by the setup and first tutorial "game" as I was? I bought it on a whim over the holidays when I was upgrading my PC. Haven't used a VR headset since the Oculus devkit 2. Had no idea how far along everything had come; particularly tracking.

By the end of the first day I had my tape measure out moving my couch, coffee table, and clearing out the living room. It's the VR space now.

It's not that avoiding an arrest or other police involvement isn't an improvement. It is. But it's easy to assume anyone committed to a psychiatric facility ought to be rehabilitated to society. Often you could just as justifiably argue the other way around.
