Your right to record the police is not the right to livestream, it's also not the right to put it on 'Insta' or whatever you want to be cool on.

The police are not your 'toys'. They haven't agreed to be a actor in your live performance or 'it's just a prank bro'

Fully convolutional naturalistic video reconstruction from brain activity
This is so wrong that it's basically offensive.

Considerably more so-called progressive folks (and others) put their faith in US Presidents they favour, than do subjects of most Monarchs, let alone the UK Monarch.

The level of demagoguery I witnessed around 2008 and 2016 in the US was ridiculous, people were spellbound as if their leaders were Disney characters brought to life.

Most Democratic Heads of State are elected on highly superficial and preformative presentations of themselves, effectively the result of giant PR and communications mechanations.

Other Heads of State - like Von der Leyen in the EU, have barely any democratic legitimacy.

QE2 has a narrow range of power, and she's actually done a pretty good job at it frankly, giving legitimacy to the notion that there is likely a lot that people can be brought up into. It's obviously not something that one would create from nothing in 2020, nor would anyone want more power bestowed than they have, but it works fine.

The US has Kim Kardashian and Donald Trump, the UK is stuck with QE2 and Will and Kate. I'd take the later if I could.
The substance of the press release doesn't remotely come close to the headline, but I wish it did. So many companies are failing to let their structure adapt to a remote-first world, by trying to maintain things like "we start our day with a 30-min zoom call to update everyone on the team with what everyone else is doing today", and requiring people to be available on slack or whatever for their 8 hour day.
Regardless of where the energy comes from, it would be better spent on desperately needed carbon capture.
You need "grounds" to remove a monarch?!

It's probable that in that instance they could just pay for GitHub datacenter or whatever Microsoft chooses to name the new evil plan. But Microsoft has little reason to turn evil again (open-source projects generally have little money and won't spend it on source control/issues when there's a free competitor), as we're at a crossroads where nobody needs Microsoft software anymore (iOS/Android/Mac/Chrome OS for personal computing, Google/Amazon for cloud), so they need the advertising for their cloud. Therefore, $500K per year or thereabouts to host all of the open-source code on GitHub and provide some amount of CI minutes is worth it to get people to ask for GitHub/Azure at work.

I suggest if the UK adopted some reasonable constitution it wouldn't change a thing.

Unless some people hoodwinked some sneaky things in there.

But otherwise, it's moot: if you have a highly functional and credible judicial system, and a framework to work from - you don't really need a constitution.
It’s very impressive how fast this loads. Every time I’ve integrated Monaco (web-based Visual Studio Code), it takes multiple seconds to render. GitHub Codespaces, the official way to open GitHub repos in a web-based Visual Studio Code instance, loads probably 20x slower than this.

This topic reminds me of Walter Pitts and specifically his famous paper "What the Frog's Eye Tells the Frog's Brain" (1959): https://hearingbrain.org/docs/letvin_ieee_1959.pdf

Pitts is probably known to HN readership for his early work on neural networks which put him in dialogue with people like Claude Shannon. It's fascinating to see how much that early world of 1940s/50s era computer researchers overlapped with people literally cutting into animal brains (not to mention experimenting on their own via psychedelics and the like).

I'm at a loss to see how one could rationally arrive at that conclusion. It's self-evident from the article that McWhorter meant the phrase in the same sense as it's commonly understood. Anything else would be pointless, since he's discussing contemporary usage of the phrase.

One should generally try to figure out what the author's intended meaning was, rather than twist the meaning into something that's easy to argue against but the author would never approve of.

There was twitter thing a couple weeks ago comparing Tom Brady and a 1970s QB, and how young Brady looked.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/twitter-stunned-by-to...
Yet almost nobody understood that yes Brady has had cosmetic work done, it isn't all natural youth he has.

Almost all male celebs have had work done. Same with many older sports and business people, such as Mark Cuban.

Combined with photo alteration, very few look as they would if they aged "normally".

I believe they tried that during the English Civil War which led the removal of the monarchy (and execution of Charles I), England being declared a commonwealth and the creation of a short-lived written constitution (the Instrument of Government). Apparently it didn't turn out too well because Charles II was restored to the throne.
I’m sorry. To clarify, the entirety of a mouse’s interests are less than the interests of a child. This includes external interests, like the interests of the parents, etc.

I agree regarding the generally higher capacity of healthy humans to experience tremendous suffering, and also the human ability to cause tremendous suffering. I do see a tension between those facts and my contention that saving a human results in less suffering. In my mind, human experience falls on a 3D plane, with positive/negative on the y-axis, severity on the x-axis and complexity on the z-axis.

The human ability to experience complex emotions like inspiration, jealousy, etc. make our interests slightly unique and weigh more as compared to most animals. Add on top of that the social aspect of interests (eg a parent has an interest in the well being of their child), and suddenly the value of human life can take on exponential degrees.

With that in mind, I think an individual should have the choice to end their life if society finds that the net suffering of their continued existence is greater than if they ceased to exist. To that end, human extinction is antithetical to my understanding because it implies forcing individuals to end their lives involuntarily. It’s the same with a pig. I wouldn’t eat a pig unless he somehow gained healthy adult-level sentience and told me he wanted me to eat him and that that would fulfill some deep desire of his. I know that example sounds absurd, but consequently, because no animal has a level of sentience complex enough to consent to being murdered, I refrain from eating any animals at all.

If you still want to engage, I have a question. I’m curious why, if you feel that humans are such a huge cause of suffering to, as you put it, innocent animals, you aren’t vegan or vegetarian?

any particular recommendations for resources beginners to get in to ham radio these days? specific radios or web resources. i hear that the radios have improved dramatically in the past few years.

my dad was really in to ham radio when I was a kid and was always setting up huge antennas in our backyard and had lots of big mysterious black metal boxes with vu meters and nice big knobs of them. i remember him making a phone call to my mom via ham radio during the 80s and it blew my mind.
I think for lots of western content ~10-15 years ago this was the case. Sites like vcdquality.com were around to track pirated Oscar screener rips, and folks would rip those to VCD format since back then bandwidth was more scarce and you could watch these moves on normal ~700MB CD-ROMs.

Ask HN: What Route or mesh network for home WiFi
After years of putting off buying a the new router I need to lather my entire house in acceptable wifi coverage, I finally have the drive to upgrade. The far corners of my house are not covered by my singular router. I keep putting off upgrading because I haven't kept track of all the new options, what to avoid, and what options I have besides just a standard wireless router. So now I must ask the HN crowd: How should I update my home networking solution?
Constraints:
I don't have ethernet running to the second floor.
I could have multiple access points on the first floor if i put the modem & router in the basement, but then where does that leave my second floor? (separate router, access points, and mesh?)
I like the idea of a mesh network but a.) I don't want an app to be required configure it, b) I don't like a google-like product that phones home and c) doesn't give me enough configurability (like running DNS through a pihole, etc.)
I'd very much prefer something supported by openWrt, so when support for a $300 device drops in 2 years, I can keep it going. (but this seems like a pipe dream to find something that fits my needs and works with open source firmware, so it's not a hard requirement...)

Bottom line is any googling I do leads me to crappy reviews of the same 4 brands of BS, most of which is outdated models anyway that will likely lose support any time now. I want to hear what your crazy one off solutions are.
I think it's unrelated. You could say dolphins and whales are "tolerant of hypoxia", yet from their behavior and the layout of their brains it is evident that evolution has not limited "information efficiency" in exchange for "tolerance to hypoxia".

I'm OK with this. I have nothing against the National Anthem. I don't think it's appropriate to use it as a time for personal political displays, though ultimately people do have that right. I think is disrespectful of those who died to protect that right.

That aside, an NBA game is not a competition between national teams. I don't see any obligation outside of tradition to play any national anthems, and not playing it avoids unecessary distractions.

Just briefly browsing the source this is a much more minimal version of VS code--many of the extensions microsoft packages and ships aren't in it. I don't doubt that helps reduce the JS bundle significantly and as a result gives you much speedier loading times. For example there's no terminal or any of its extensions in this version of VS code.
>Is that mentioned at all? And which ones? Why?

I mention it in the preface chapter: https://learnbyexample.github.io/100_page_python_intro/prefa...

There are plenty of books teaching Python for beginners to programming (Think Python, Automate the Boring Stuff, Python Crash Course and so on). And those are all 200+ page books, requiring a lot of effort from the author to teach programming concepts.

I've seen a few people wanting a book that assumes the reader is already familiar with programming basics. The official Python tutorial is awesome for that purpose and there are a few books as well (A Whirlwind Tour of Python, Python 101, etc). I had started another book on Python projects and I felt I needed to improve my Python knowledge, so I wrote this book.

Base64.ai – Extract text, data, photos and more from all types of docs
Base64.ai is a cloud API that can extract data, photos, and signatures from all types of documents. We have prebuilt models for IDs, driver licenses, passports, visas, invoices, and many more document types. The integration is only a single API call.
Feature request: make CMD+P support searching files in the repository. Currently, it shows "No matching results".

Q for you: I saw the press on LifeHacker[1]. Do you know the author David (Murphy)?
I'd like to reach out to them and see if they'd be open to either reworking that to be more inclusive and include Increment or doing a spot on Increment specifically.

It would make even more sense for Python not to adopt language features that can't be made to behave consistently with the language's existing syntax and semantics without introducing horrendous footguns.

I've been programming in dialects of ML for much longer than Python, so I absolutely appreciate the attraction of this feature. But, the opinion I'm coming to as I think more about this is:

1. I *love* pattern matching.
2. But not in Python.
Do not quit your current job to search for a new job.

Like it or not, being currently employed is a very strong signal in favor of you being employable. If you quit, prospective employers can't tell if you've been fired, or if you're the type of person who can't keep a job, or any other number of negative signals. (Yes, I know it's not perfect or fair. Please don't shoot the messenger).

> Maybe it's possible to do more interviews and get offers to compete against each other?

Possible, but not as helpful as you'd think unless you're a top-1% candidate with a resume to back it up.

Focus on finding a company you want to work for, with people you want to work with. If you ignore everything and focus only on money, one of two things will happen:

If compensation is your highest priority, just skip straight to interviewing at FAANG companies. It's extremely rare to find small companies willing to pay FAANG level compensation.

If FAANG is not an option, be careful about high-paying companies that aren't well-known. Some of them are good places to work, but others lure in inexperienced engineers with high salaries and then work them 80hrs per week until burnout, then replace them with the next round of engineers.
Indecision is suppose to be bad but it is probably a natural response to possibility of poor outcome.

It all depends on the risks.
I have been enjoying amateur radio for about five or so months now. I'm about to take another license exam, to move from a Technician license to a General license.

I think it's a great hobby. At 61, I started learning about electronics when hollow-state devices were common and solid-state devices were still relatively new. It's been interesting to see how electronics have evolved over the years.

I'm hoping to pick up a nice ICOM radio when I pass my General exam in a couple of weeks. I'm also in the process of buying some land in Eastern Washington, in part to have a place where I can put up some HF antennas. Right now I only have space for a 2m Yagi on my back patio.
