In theory, there's a world of difference between the two.

* Pockets may contain items that are dangerous to an arresting officer, or to other arrestees. Emptying pockets serves the purpose of removing that danger. Data stored on a phone are not dangerous to nearby people, and so there is no corresponding danger that needs to be removed.

* Pockets can be verified to be empty, and so it can be verified that the person has complied with the order. There is no way to verify that all information accessible from a computer has been revealed. A police officer can demand that a suspect produce passwords that they don't have, then use the "noncompliance" as a way to add additional charges.

* Emptied pockets can be returned to their original state. If my pockets contain a driver's license, $5 and lip balm, those items can be returned to me. If I reveal a password, the reveal of that password cannot be undone, and that account must be assumed to be compromised.

* (For the US only) I have the enumerated right for my papers and effects to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure. A full investigation of accounts to which I have access, done at the site of an arrest, by untrained officers, with no checks for data security, no limits on the breadth of the search, with no basis of reducing external harm, and no right to contest the disclosure until after it has occurred, is entirely unreasonable.

I agree with your conclusions, that information security is important and should be more widely practiced. I disagree strongly with how you reached that conclusion, as a physical search of pockets is entirely unlike a search of one's phone or connected devices.

Here's an experiment which makes it very obvious that we hear phase.

Take some audio signal X and apply the FFT with a 50% overlap between frames. Now randomize (or zero out) the phase, invert back to time-domain, and then take the FFT again and invert again back to the time domain. The resulting signal has 'consistent' phase between frames due to the extra round trip, but will still sound terrible. (It's equivalent to a single round of Griffin-Lim phase reconstruction. You can run more iterations to get something that sounds better, but it's still not perfect even if you run an arbitrary number of iterations.)

This proves that the information in the magnitude spectrogram is a subset of what we pick up with our ears: There are signals with the same magnitude spectrogram which sound different.
I would recommend a solid background in linear algebra, probability theory, and analysis. Moreover, for some sections, it is helpful to have experience with functional analysis, optimization, and statistical learning theory.

> My Chrome is using <400 MB of memory with two instances of Gmail, G Drive, Google Calendar, Google Ads and a couple more tabs, and is consuming maybe 0-1% of my CPU.

This is... very surprising. Are you sure you're accounting for the resources each tab is taking up? They may be listed separately from the core Chrome process in the task manager.

I just opened my very boring and nearly empty Google Calendar and that tab alone eats 275MB of memory and idles bouncing around(!) between 0.2 and 1% of a CPU core (which is a lot to be doing nothing, and the way it bounces around tells me timers or WebSockets or some other unfortunate-technology-to-have-added-to-Javascript is involved)

[EDIT] for reference, loading an HN page spikes to 100-150MB of memory, then frees memory down to 40-75MB over tens of seconds, and idles around 0.0% of CPU when I'm not interacting with it. That's approximately the base cost of rendering anything and the (mostly memory) overhead of isolating tabs so they can crash independently. Calendar stays at ~275MB and constantly uses some CPU, and I bet if I watched it over time that memory use would grow.

[EDIT EDIT] basic HTML gmail hangs out around 170MB but keeps allocating then de-allocing 10-20MB more memory, bouncing up then returning to about 170MB. Then when I click on the link in the footer to load "standard" gmail instead, it spikes to 700MB(!!!) then drops to "merely" about 490MB and hangs out there indefinitely, using 0.4% CPU constantly and spiking to 2.5% periodically, while the tab is backgrounded. You are definitely not looking in the right place for your browser's total resource use.

You need to keep in mind the distances here. For calibrating your rifle you're shooting at targets several hundred yards away, making it much harder to tell if the area is clear. This also isn't happening on a football field, the area around the trenches is going to be scored with secondary trench lines, foxholes, communications trenches, big craters from artillery, etc. And the people in there aren't exactly trying to make themselves known, they are going to keep low and you may not even be visible if they are in a little offshoot of a trench or something. The secondary lines are also going to be relatively densely populated. Odds are if you try to shoot at a target a couple hundred yards behind the trench lines, the round is going to be within a dozen yards of someone's head. You probably wouldn't hit anyone, but if someone stands up at the wrong moment... an even bigger danger is if your shot goes high. If your shoot goes above the rock you're aiming for, it will keep going further back into the lines. Given that this would be 30 caliber ammo and there's no body armor, that bullet would still be going fast enough to kill someone 1.5 miles out, maybe 2 miles. Someone very familiar with the area and with good situational awareness might be able to guarantee there's no one between them and the target, but not for a mile out.

The other big factor is what your buddies in the trench will think of this arrangement. If they know it's you shooting over their heads they will be absolutely pissed, and probably face some sort of discipline from officers. If they DON'T know it's you shooting in their general direction (which they probably won't unless you make sure to tell everyone in advance) it will probably prompt return fire. If they can tell from the sound or muzzle flash that the shot came from their trenches, they may think a sniper infiltrated their lines, which will merit a particularly aggressive response.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone, somewhere during the war did this, but it certainly wouldn't be condoned.
> “Until you can passionately make arguments for both sides,” she says, “you don’t understand the issue.”

Reading about Trump on this, he seems to flipflop more than be hateful or anything; in one breath he supports same sex marriage, in another he restricts certain federal aspects like gender dysphoric individuals being allowed in the military. The actual content of what he did for LGBT seems to be a minor negative mostly surrounding limiting federal power over employment; he refused to put up any fight against same sex marriage and there's a lot of "well it could LEAD to this" going on.

I don't think this is a cancellable offense. I think if you are going to sanction someone for voting, it has to be real and clear danger of present harm, not "they are republicans, you know they hate us."

Like, if that's the case, why not just sanction everyone who voted for him?
> A lot of the socialists/Marxists I've known come from relatively well of conservative families for example.

That just means they got told about socialism/Marxism by some other authority figure besides their parents. I never said that parents were the only ones that could tell people such beliefs and have them accepted and made part of the person's identity.

> I suspect gravitating towards an ideology is often as much motivated by what you are against as it is motivated by what you are for.

This can quite often explain why people accept beliefs by being told them and making them part of their identity, instead of considering and weighing evidence, yes.

I worked on a research project in undergrad that used Reed-Solomon -- we showed a series of images to users, who would later pick those images out of a set of un-trained images in order to authenticate or access some privileged data, sans encryption. the error-correcting allowed for some degree of misremembering or forgetfulness, as is normal in human image recognition tasks.

> It's natural to band together when under attack

IMHO, the most inflammatory and dangerous things in our political discourse nowadays are the "we're under an existential attack (by our domestic political opponents)" narratives. Shit stirrers in both camps are enthusiastically engaging in them, and in the short term that keeps their bases enthusiastic and committed, but it leads to a vicious cycle that might actually bring about one of the feared scenarios in the medium/long term. Power play responses to the "existential threat" posed by the other side are likely to themselves be interpreted as "existential threats" by that side.

Deescalation is needed, and that's going to look like compromise that the activists/partisans are going to be really unhappy with.

They have a whole state to themselves and they're pre-dominantly white. Mormons also produce their own media, they're in the middle of making a multi-part Book of Mormon series. They're an insuluar sect much like Jehovah's Witnesses, so they're not _demanding_ mainstream representation on principle, much like the Amish.

Not to say you're not touching on the question of _why_ we're so enthusiastic in media representation for those of the Islamic faith however, but the Mormons are a pretty open and shut case

CNN is a bad example of a left leaning news outlet. They're quite centrist. The reason mainstream media appears to be left biased is because people use the government's political center as their frame of reference rather than that of the populace. The media caters to political beliefs of actual average American. The federal government caters to the center of voting power, which is heavily skewed towards smaller states which tend to be more conservative. This disparity is what people perceive as "left bias".

Monocultures are harmful but that's we get to live with.

There's definitely a market for this. Back when I worked in porn (in the camming sphere), we had a team of moderators whose main job was verifying the identity (especially age) of performers. With over 10k performers, this was a lot of work. And you can't just do it once. You have to do it every time a performer starts a performance. People would try all sorts of tricks, like taking a picture of themselves with an older sister's ID, all kinds of fake IDs, some better than others. Verifying an identity over webcam is no easy feat, those moderators had to be able to tell different passports apart (many, many, nationalities), tease out the fakes, and then make sure that they person in the ID is the same person presenting the ID. Problem is multiplied by the number of performers in the room. Performers who are eager to start making money instead of satisfying the moderators checklist.

$5K + $2K is not 11K, I don't understand how you get to that number.

Also unless you get exceptionally unlucky (it can happen but is very rare), you're not spending 2K on maintenance. Even if you do, that's $7K, which is still less than the example lease payments of $7200.

Don't forget the lease payments are just rent, the money is gone forever.

The used car you can sell later and recover most of the cost.

Also, it will not "massively depreciate". How often have you done this? The idea is to buy a car that has already bottomed on its depreciation curve and then sell it a few years later with barely any loss.

If you want affordable transportation that's the way to go. Buy an early 00's Corolla or Civic for $3K-$5K, spend nothing on it, sell it a few years later for nearly the same money.

> Switching jobs is probably less disruptive to their status quo then going back to the office.

Maybe for a little while when there are lots of jobs offering WFH and competing for a small number of people switching jobs. However if you invert that by having lots of jobs simultaneously require people to come back into the office and lots of people simultaneously seeking new employment, then that job hop is likely to be quite difficult. At the very least, most people probably won't be able to line up a new WFH job before they either need to start going into the office or quit and risk extended unemployment. In the long run there will be more WFH opportunities than before the pandemic, but a lot of people are going to have to go into an office whether they want to or not.
> What I continue to be surprised by is how the left-leaning sources keep denying their liberal bias

There are no left-leaning major news outlets in the US (the nature of capitalism assures that; you can’t get the kind of capitalist backing for anti-capitalist positions required to be a major media source), only far-right and center-right, and even the center-right ones treat targets to their left much worse than those their right.

And if there was a left-leaning outlet, their bias would be left, not liberal.

> Fox news more or less admits to being right-leaning

Only recently, in the Trump era, did Fox drop “Fair and Balanced” for “Standing Up For What's Right”.

> but CNN is still insisting that they're unbiased

That's because Fox is marketing to people who see themselves as on the Right and CNN is marketing to people who identify as centrist, non-ideological, or above the fray (who are largely the pro-status quo center-right.) Both label according to the identity group they are marketing to.
I’ve been saying for years that identity services will be a huge deal.

> You're so hostile to privacy laws like GDPR and we aren't etc.

You're arguing about an entirely different context. One involves private corporations, one involves the powers of the government. It's critical to make a distinction between those things, they are not the same issue at all.

Facebook, fortunately, doesn't have taxing authority, regulatory authority, law-passing authority or a private militia. I can banish Facebook from my existence, I can choose never to use their services, and I can legally use numerous options for blocking their ability to track me (and do so quite easily). Try doing that with a government that passes a very invasive law, just tell them to right piss off with their laws, refuse to obey their laws.

It's fine to argue for restrictions on privacy invasion re private corporations. However these are two separate matters to be argued, what should be allowed in the private sphere vs the public/government sphere.
