My experience is the total opposite: more often than not, when IRL meetings break, everyone scoots off as fast as possible, grateful to be free, and just wants to get back to their office.

Whereas on zoom, it's rare I go a meeting without side-channel conversations popping up just as a meeting ends or even while it's going on. e.g. someone mentions a new requirement in passing, and within a few seconds there's a group dm from the other 2 devs on the project going "wtf did either of you know about <requirement>".
Interesting point, but I saw a judge took that to the extreme with a libel suit against Rachael Maddow, by saying no one would ever think she was offering news, only her opinion, thus no one would ever believe her. But people often believe things they've been told, even when it comes from people who are clearly not objective on the matter, so perhaps the judge was wrong.
There's a lot of good stuff in Marx, whatever people say (and downvote). Whether or not you agree with the solutions he proposes.
Ironically enough, this is what drove me into real airplanes. As a kid, did the line and rc models. Very easy to turn hundreds of hours of build time into... trash. The cost of the better RC stuff was darn near what you might spend on an ultra light for manned flying. It is amazing how cheap drones became (and the corresponding... how much general aviation has gotten to be).
I think China is just trying to take pot shots and their comments on the situation really just shows how their leadership appears to act like children. Yes the residential schools are an atrocity. The children were stolen from their parents under a "best intentions" situation and died of disease that they had little natural immunity brought over via Europeans and buried in unmarked graves because the Christians thought they were all going to hell. Nice to see 2 churches burned down under suspicious circumstances in Canada recently. Maybe the church should be shouldering more of the blame here perhaps?
We had a multi-year project called the Truth and Reconciliation Comnmission which came up with a very exhaustive collection of testimony and calls to action. Their findings are heart-breaking, and the government has done nothing to follow through on their findings: http://www.trc.ca/about-us/trc-findings.html

If you just want the 94 calls to action, they're summarized here: http://www.trc.ca/assets/pdf/Calls_to_Action_English2.pdf
> Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is almost completely transparent - all major smart contracts are open source and all transactions are made in public.

I think this is a very important point, but it's also missing some of the picture.

DeFi could potentially make instituting things like a wealth tax much easier. If the crypto network is set up for it, all transactions are seen by everyone.

However I think any individual coin with widespread adoption will soon move away from this sort of complete transparency. Lightning networks will decrease the visibility into the transaction stream. And these sorts of networks end up acting like banks on their own, as more centralized points of power and knowledge.

And though it seems like there's no shadowy governing board like the Fed in the crypto world, these governance structures are still there, just even less visible than the Fed. Who decides the conflicts between the miners and the holders of the Bitcoin software network? It was not long ago that there were big fights about this, and because the governance is not public, the entire debate was extremely paranoid and conspiratorial.

Strcturelessness of governance does not mean that there is no governance, that there is no hierarchy in who decides the basic rules of the crypto network, it's just means that fewer people understand how power flows when making decisions and changes to the networks.

I've had this idea in my head to make a notion-like editor which uses Git/GH as it's store of data. When you save, it makes a commit.

Everything is saved as flat json files and image/data blobs.

Seeing this comment, is further solidifying the idea. Notion is a great editor, but having little control over data isn't great.

User should be able to control where the data lives. And when they want it gone, it should be gone. Poof!
Note that your source is for all shootings, and they specifically make a claim about "unarmed" individuals being shot, the implication that while black individuals are more likely to be killed by police, those killed are more likely to be armed and potentially violent.

I don't have a source supporting or disproving that claim, I'm just pointing out that the source you provided doesn't address the claim they are making.

Yes I am aware that the FAA claims to have full control over everything down to the ground, I am also aware there is not much case law supporting that position, and in fact the case law seems to indicated the Supreme Court could be in a position to limit the FAA's authority to 100ft and higher, anything lower than that being consider private property.

IMO it is clear unconstitutional taking for the FAA to seize ownership of all the air above my property, with out limit
Time for some percussive maintenance.
The article mentions a higher level of trust in local news. My local news in Detroit is very matter of fact, here’s an event that happened, here’s visual proof, and with a few exemptions free of opinion. National news, in my experience, is more pundits talking about the events and extracting larger meaning from it. I personally have a very hard time consuming news outside of the local because of this.
When did Hacker News become so tediously and odiously consumed with "moderate voices," which 99% of the time is just self-consumed owners of capital who have a fervent interest in maintaining the status quo.
Can't reply to parent, so I'll add my response here to illustrate what "quite a bit more burdensome" looks like.

I don't know the requirements for operating a nuclear reactor, but here's the requirements to operate a water treatment plant:

* A degree in engineering, environmental engineering, chemistry, physics from an accredited school.

* Pass a licensing exam

* For operating larger plants, a minimum of X years experience working at smaller plants first.

* After getting your license, you're required to have N hours of continuing education requirements before you can renew your license. Something like 10 hours / year.

Unlike drones, the average RC car doesn't carry a risk of killing/maiming people when they drop out of the air at near-terminal velocity. If a bus hits your RC car, at worst it gets a scratch or dent before the RC car is destroyed. Even a tiny drone, on the other hand, could easily take out a prop or turbine on an aircraft and lead to the death of the occupants or bystanders.
As an observer from the other side of the northern border I have always been keen to see the US temper its general culture of "police worship" that seems very contrary to the interests of the general public. I have likewise been hoping to see the vast number of smaller forces consolidate into larger forces that might have better training & resources with less nepotism and petty corruption.

I feel a lot of sympathy for the officers referenced in the article and their personal stories seem very genuine and troubling.

I have no idea how to "solve" the more general problem that seems to be the thesis of the article. Anyone can see that the political valence of modern police forces in the US as expressed by their unions is now so hostile to a majority of the people being policed it seems entirely untenable. And in places like New York City that is despite the force getting better at reducing violent incidents with residents over the last decade or so. The very extreme bunker mentality expressed by police unions likewise make them bad-faith actors in any attempts to improve the relationships involved here.

The Newark success story seems like the solution:
https://www.nj.com/news/2021/01/newark-cops-with-reform-didn...

Of course that sure makes it seem like my original position that "larger forces" would probably be better look quite incorrect, it would be hard to imagine implementing a reform like Newark's if a regional police force were in need of reform with multiple stakeholders across jurisdictions to convince and satisfy. I do think that I would really love some journalism that goes deep into what other forces think of the Newark reforms and the results at a union & officer level.

Back to the original article, some of the numbers here are bit misleading, I found this article:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/18/us/police-reform-year-of-reck...

"The retirement bubble is bursting

There's another, older, reason behind so many officers leaving the force: the 1994 Crime Control Act, a controversial law overseen by Joe Biden in the Senate and signed by Bill Clinton, which provided $7.6 billion in federal funding for tens of thousands of police officers.

"All these cops are coming up for retirement now," said Ivonne Roman, one of those so-called "Clinton Cops" who retired as police chief of Newark on April 1. "This past April alone 200 cops retired in Newark. This was always coming regardless of Covid or the protests.""

Nearly 10% of the officers in the US are apparently eligible for retirement in the US as of the end of 2020, and with the risks of COVID-19 I can see why you would see a large uptick in resignations regardless of any other circumstances. Not that this takes away from the very real experiences that other officers are finding pushing them out of the policing earlier than they would otherwise like.

Javascript JITs are really good, you (likely) aren't going to see major performance improvements by dropping into WASM.

That said, one major benefit of WASM that Javascript jits will have a hard time competing with is GC pressure. So long as your WASM lib focuses on stack allocations, it'll be real tough for a Javascript native algorithm doing the same thing to compete (particularly if there's a bunch of object/state management).

For a hot math loop doing floating point calcs (mandelbrot calc), however, I've seen javascript end up with identical performance compared to WASM. It's really pretty nuts.

They never supported Hackintoshes, and you need to remember there was a 20-year period before Intel where hackintoshes weren't possible. Apple is closing something they never supported and that wasn't there for the two decades prior, so I can hardly fault them.

For how well-known "hackintoshing" is, remember that the Mac has spent the majority of its existence without this ability.
I doubt that it is that simple.

By the time police are called in, it likely is a police issue: a crime has been committed or there is an imminent threat of violence. Having specially trained people to deal with those issues may marginally improve the situation, but they will end up being the police in all but name. The blame will be shifted away from the police and the burden will be put on the new organization.

What we need is a means of reducing the social ills that lead to mental health breakdowns and drug overdoses. That requires proactive involvement in the community rather than a response model.

> That you think that I see this is a recent phenomenon and am just obviously misinformed, or that you immediately jump to "you clearly get your news from fox propaganda" just comes off as extremely condescending to me.

When I asked you about CRT, you referred to "the media about CRT", rather than CRT itself. Forgive me for thinking that meant the media was the source of your understanding. I don't think you "clearly get your news from FOX propaganda". I mentioned FOX News as a specific example of a dramatic and obvious shift, as evidence of there being propaganda, not any assumption about where you get your news from. For all I know you get your news from carrier pigeons, but that's beside the point.
(I'm a university professor)

What kind of "program" exactly are you looking for?

I'd expect that most good state schools admit non-degree students. Mine (the University of South Carolina) does. I've had some in my classes, who were excellent students.

That said I'm unaware of any "program" or organizational structure. You fill out some paperwork, sign up for the classes you want, and that's it. At any university, some of the classes will be great and some of them will suck. Beyond that --

- If you want advising as to what courses to take, find out who the undergraduate director is in whatever department you're interested in and ask if you can make an appointment. If you have questions about an individual class, look up and email whoever is teaching it next.

- If you want to participate in the university's social or intellectual life beyond your classes, then these are often open to the public anyway.

- If you want to form study groups, these usually aren't organized by the university; just try to make friends with the people sitting next to you.

- If you want tutoring or advising, you can probably access the same resources available to degree-seeking students.

Unfortunately (for you), classes are likely to be 8-5 MWF. For popular classes there might be classes available at off-hours, but for smaller niche classes there isn't enough demand for them.

My suggestion would be to drop your (3) and seek opportunities at any good university that's close to where you live. Good luck!
It's amazing people pay for WaPo, they literally have so much power, they get to decide what internal government info to leak or not leak and create the sentiment for ruling party.
It is demonstrably obvious this is a lie:

The first time I commented in this whole discussion was _in reply to_ your "you must have compromised ...".
Source on the lies? I always hear these types of things on HN, but nobody seems to ever back it up. We get it, you didn't want Brexit, but that doesn't mean I'm going to blindly believe that the Leave campaign was full of liars.
It was meant in jest, but if you must take it seriously, my opinion is that veganism as a movement has largely been coopted by high-gloss, low-impact "plant based foods" marketing that follows all the aesthetics and few of the values of older movement. There isn't a measurable decrease in meat production or consumption, just a noted increase in overpriced prepackaged vegan food products.

I say that as a vegan of more than a decade. Its recent popularity is more indicative of successful marketing than consciousness raising. It's just another fad diet to folks, not a lifestyle change resulting in better livestock conditions.
Would SIFT or SURF features actually work in this scenario, that was also one of my thoughts, but then I considered that the inputs are not photographs of the same objects from different angles but a painting and a manual reproduction of it. I would be really interested in knowing whether those features are robust enough under the distortions in such a scenario. And how far could one push this, could you still align the Mona Lisa with a good pencil drawing of it?

The US political system has weaponized religion for political power and minority rule. Gasoline has been thrown on the flames of anti-intellectualism legitimizing feelings over peer-reviewed scientific research. The US political system is under siege by what is essentially minority rule. Every public institution (notably including the judiciary and elections themselves) is simply fodder for a scorched earth policy of politicization. Ayn Rand billionaire acolytes have poured billions into reshaping policy to the benefit of the 0.01%.

What I'm most sick of seeing of psuedo-intellectuals who say in a self-satisfied tone "both sides are biased" usually followed by "I only read independent news". This is the definition of false equivalence.

The so-called "left media" in the US isn't without fault but it's fine. The "right media" is an active participant in the subversion of democracy that panders to and enables anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theorists, insurrectionists and white Supremacists.

"Bias" is just an excuse to justify the self-reinforcing unsubstantiated echo chambers that people like to inhabit.
Sideloading on the M1 is fairly easy. @marcan42, who is developing Linux for M1, is very clear that Apple actively went out of their way to make sideloading possible in a secure manner.

Also, for everyone who says Apple is going to lock MacOS down, that's not going to happen with the M1 at least. The ability to run older versions of MacOS, alongside Linux support coming, means it's not happening. Despite what the conspiracy theorists say.

I suspect it may even be the opposite. When offices rely primarily on social networks as their source of creativity, it means that you've got to be well-integrated into the social network in order to successfully promote your ideas. This creates a major risk of curtailing contributions from anybody that isn't buddy-buddy with folks on the hierarchy.

If, as is the case at most places I've worked, this hierarchy is dominated by upper middle class white men, this may have the effect of severely limiting the company's ability to make good use of the creativity of a large portion of its staff.

I haven't worked anywhere that does this, but I strongly suspect that a company with a more organized approach to incubating ideas would be able to do so more successfully. It would put the company in a better position to mitigate this and many other ways that good ideas slip through the cracks.

Telling people who have actually worked hard that they are "privileged" and dismissing their success is also bad.

Look at this block of text that you wrote. It's almost entirely all about yourself. You weren't listening at ALL to what my claim is.

Suppose you're middle class, and you haul ass to get ahead. You're not born into abject poverty or anything, but you really DID need to work hard. And some asshole, who probably hasn't worked nearly as hard as you, comes around and tells you "well, you made it because you're white, male, or tall" or whatever (I, personally am only one of those things). AND you can't complain about the metanarrative, because you'll get cancelled, or whatever.
