> First degree murder is a little much (do you really think this is equivalent to taking a gun and shooting someone with pre-planning and full intention to kill them?), but certainly involuntary manslaughter fits.

IAMN[even_close_to_being]AL, but I think you're right about it being involuntary manslaughter. My very limited understanding is that when a drunk driver kills someone, it's involuntary manslaughter because they're undertaking a risky behavior with intent neither to kill nor cause bodily harm, but death occured as a result of that behavior anyway. I think it could only be voluntary manslaughter if the circumstances were wildly different, like if the man got swatted, had a heart attack or stroke or something life threatening after the police had left, and the perpetrators were the only ones watching the stream and decided, in the heat of the moment as they watched his death unfold, that they would let him die for some reason, like they were angry at him for having the audacity to keep streaming right after the swat... I dunno.

I believe it could only be murder if in the premeditated steps ("hey, let's swat this guy!"), the guys deliberately planned on using the swat to give this man a heart attack or serious bodily injury.

At least, that's my very limited understanding; I'm just some guy with a beard, I don't really know anything about anything.
The article doesn't give much details about what the police did. It says there were a lot of them, and that the victim came out of their house with a gun and was told to put their hands up.

So they definitely didn't storm in. And he did have a gun.

It did not prove that. It proved that at least one of three assumptions about the universe is violated: Statistical Independence, Locality or Determinism. The usual assumption is that Locality has to go, but that is not necessarily true. It is possible that Statistical Independence is not true for the experimental systems that have been studied.

See for example: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphy.2020.00139...
By the time you have that evidence, the evidence will be being carried out in body bags if there is a shooter.
> but do we actually need a squadron of people to show up with guns in these situations?

They received a call about a violent crime in progress. When they arrived, the man exited the house with a gun in hand, thinking he would need to defend himself from intruders.

Are you really suggesting that the police should have sent one or two unarmed individuals to a report of an active gun crime in progress?

By all accounts, the police appear to have acted appropriately and managed to both control and de-escalate the situation after the man exited the house holding a gun. Why are we trying to make the local police out to be the bad guys for following up on a report of armed violence and de-escalating the situation without shots fired? It doesn’t make sense.

True, but did they show up aggressively and unannounced stormed into the guy's house or land while armed to the teeth and totally shock him into death?
I think it's actually a "feature" that there's no notifications so I don't get sucked into arguments. Sometimes it's best to pretend that I didn't see the response.
Agree. Everything built-in to every object is a recipe for overhead.
I went googling and found this: A study at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has demonstrated that sudden emotional stress can result in reversible heart failure[1]. It goes on "a traumatic event such as a breakup, the death of a loved one, or even the shock of a surprise party can provoke a heart attack in people who don't have heart disease and are otherwise healthy, researchers say". and

"Dr. Wittstein and his research team found that some people may respond to sudden, overwhelming emotional stress by releasing large amounts of adrenalin and other chemicals into the blood stream. These chemicals can be temporarily toxic to the heart, effectively stunning the muscle and producing symptoms similar to those of a typical heart attack: chest pain, fluid in the lungs, shortness of breath and heart failure. However, there are no further similarities between "broken heart" syndrome and cardiac arrest. Closer inspection using blood tests and magnetic resonance imaging scans failed to show the typical heart attack signs, such as irreversible muscle damage and elevated levels of certain enzymes."

If that happened, it would have been avoidable; it doesn't necessarily mean he was sickly and this was the straw that broke the camel's back.

(Aside: I wonder if anyone here would think comparable things of the organizers of a surprise party, 16 years after it's published in a medical journal that they can be fatal? What if the birthay person was known to hate surprise parties? Anyone calling for a death penalty or years in prison?)

Perhaps we should consider why we allow the U.S. to have SWAT teams that respond in such a manner?
Except this time there is no rarity element. Somehow as by magic the most popular games sold in tens of millions are reaching records.
> Maybe police should default to assume swatting and develop techniques to evaluate actual risk prior to storming in based on an anonymous phone call?

The article doesn’t say a SWAT team was deployed, just that the police responded to a call. The image of a SWAT team is just a stock photo.

The police also did not “storm” anything. The homeowner went outside with a gun in hand and they de-escalated the situation without “storming” or firing any shots.

I don’t really understand what you want the police to do in these situations where they receive calls about gun crimes in progress. They can’t just assume it’s a prank and wait around to see if anyone dies before they choose to send some police to investigate.
Restaurants that are not franchises have a 50% failure rate. Margins are intensely tight and the largest cost is labor, not food, spoilage, advertising, interior design, or whatever else.

The central government and state government take limited to no responsibility for healthcare, child care, retirement, sick leave, pto etc.

The central justice system has agreed that corporations have a duty to their stakeholders above their business and so growth is paramount.

As a result, restaurants, esp independent ones, struggle to find ways to make ends meet and corporations (aka McDonalds) see no incentive to raise wages. The easiest and most obvious example of this playing out is imo that McDonalds pays labor more elsewhere than in the US.

Yep, I definitely get what you're saying and strategic communication is totally worthwhile (I'm a CEO, the value is absolutely not lost on me). It's just not something I prioritize on HN, that's just the personal call I make.
I think the market is going to split soon. The lowend local resturant will die because they wont have access to the ecconomyies of scall that will allow them to raise wages and the market wont pay more just for being "local". so small burger joints cafes and such will suffer. the mid to hig end will raise wages and most will survive.

Then those the are unwilling to raise server wages will either die due to lackmof labour or become ghost kitchen fire the serving staff and do take out and delivery exclusively.

I think delivery and take out is going to stick around in a big way. there is less expectation to tip the restaurant when not eating on premises. and it think wage regulation of gig work is coming for the likes of ubereats doordash and grubhub

on the cheap end you will have take home food with no tips and on the high end a living wage will become standard with less pressure to tip

I'm saying teenagers are frequently fucking idiots, and that sending them into the American prison system is a "solution" that causes even more damage.
General multitasking, team coordination, cash handling, basic restaurant dishwashing, stock management, industrial cleaning, pacifying unhappy customers, dealing with druggies and harassers, and a whole bunch of other things I've probably forgotten from when I worked fast food as a teenager.

Whoa. Nice job!

> "We need unifiers and not vilifiers," Bezos said. "We need people who argue hard and act hard for what they believe. But they do that always with civility and never ad hominem attacks. Unfortunately, we live in a world where this is too often not the case. But we do have role models."

Also this is where I have to offer--absent other evidence--that Bezos should either distance himself further from his donation process, or create more objective guidelines for this process.

This example above is going way too far into covert contract territory. It immediately and loudly projects the sense that he's been deeply hurt by ad hominem attacks.

In that way, it's really awkward.

Giving money based on covert contracts ("congratulations, you met my secret, emotionally-charged guidelines for receiving $100M!") will tend to backfire or fizzle out because it starts to look more like a way of snubbing people or commenting on society's ills, than a way of being generous. It looks more like a way of bringing the focus back to the subject's own valued perceptions instead of really getting down to solving problems in a wider scope.

This kind of thinking also tends to go really deep, and depth processes tend to delay the executive process of constructive giving.

I would guess that this is also a back-foot process for Bezos (he's more business-logic than relational-logic oriented) so it's weak AND deep, which will inevitably lead to really awkward communications, if not awkward outcomes in general.

Fingers crossed that this can develop positively for him and everybody involved as it develops.

Haiti has been run by crooked thugs in a descending pyramid of power and control. All money was stolen and the population kept in poverty, and with no money they were unable to create a middle class = no industrial revolution from within. The ones in power built clothing factories and a few other. Overseers were cruel = wages and right low, the poor could not elevate up and out.
The DR lacked these crooks and was able to elevate its people.
I'm going to make an assumption that it is our citizens are more likely to be armed.

Police that serve in a disarmed populace don't have to worry about a suspect reaching into a wasteband or pocket and pulling a firearm. Cops in the US do. That single movement alone is enough to warrant a violent response by police engagement standards.

That's an interesting take, but it seems like a post-hoc rationale/strategy to me.

Conservatives will block any rise in the minimum wage, but couldn't completely block additional unemployment benefits.

Progressives would back a rise in the minimum wage, but had to deliver on relief for the unemployed working class, so they did just that.

The secondary effect of rising wages was probably only something that conservatives were expecting.

What do you propose as an alternative? They can’t send unarmed cops to respond to reports of gun violence, and it wouldn’t be responsible to simply send one cop.

By all accounts, the police responded appropriately and de-escalating the situation when the man came outside with a gun.

I don’t understand what people want to be different about this situation, other than for the police to become clairvoyant so they can know when reports are false before they get there.
That's not a hack, it's part of the official syntax.

It doesn't even make sense to see as a kind of hack.
The FBI definition of active shooter incident excludes a lot of cases:

https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter-incidents...

See page three.
We’re clear here that that was just what the kid said, all made up right? And no one was actually killed prior to the swat showing up. The article was written pretty confusingly.. anyway sounded to me like the guy was literally just sitting around and happened to have a gun, as you probably would in a rural area, and went into fight or flight once the neighbor told him he was surrounded by armed cops

But I would think - depending on whether prank reports like this are relatively common, as a % of all SWAT calls made legitimate or illegitimate - it’d be better to check out the scene, maybe even knock first if the situation allows it, as a default, to determine any chance that they were just being sent on a wild goose chase by some bored gamers. I guess cases with quote-unquote hostages would preclude that kind of luxury though, dunno
So is it true that there are multiple properties of a particle---such as location, position, and maybe its spin---that are all described as wave functions, and therefore they can all be entangled? Can anything that is described by a wave function be entangled?
The problem with both unemployment payments and UBI is, that someone has to pay them, and (in case of the first) they stop at some time.

If you get X money per month of unemployment and X+20% to work, then yeah, if it's not a fulfilling work (and let's be honest, what work at that price is fulfilling), you'll rather stay at home. Once the "free money" dries up, people will be forced to take the shitty jobs too, but due to many failed businesses, there will be even less jobs available, and this skews the jobs-vs-workers ratio, making wages even lower.

Making it easier (and cheaper) to start a business would create more jobs, raising the price of work, and replace the shitty jobs with better one (in terms of pay and conditions).

I don't completely disagree with what you're saying regarding the text, but as a person who loves the arts but doesn't work in it, I would appreciate speaking to a bona fide curator if I was asked to partake in an exhibition.

They didn’t storm anything. They responded to the call and the man came at the police with a gun. They de-escalated.

What are you proposing they should have done? Just waited it out from a distance?
> It says there were a lot of them

> ... they definitely didn't storm in.

Yes. There were a lot of them for absolutely no reason but for a completely baseless claim.

> And he did have a gun.

This is irrelevant. He was on his own property and did nothing wrong. The authorities didn't know he had a gun before sending so many cops.
Funny you should say that, mine is war and cruelty.
1. Don't give-out or publish your personal information online.

2. "MyLife.com" sites that dox people should be illegal.

3. Personal information including contact information and addresses should be legally personal property, not business property to be shared and resold.

4. Use anonymous, throwaway accounts for all "social" media.

5. Don't de-anonymize yourself to anyone untrusted.

I think well educated professionals sometime miss what reality is for millions of people. $44k for a few shifts is better and more reliable income than a retail gig. The similar premium gig for a low skill person is probably a janitor.
I would be pretty shocked if SWATting was any appreciable % of police responses. You can't delay response times by 50% to handle the .01% of cases which are falsely initiated.
Yeah I mean, 100%, I hate that I run my code on Linux, which I don't consider to be a well secured kernel. It's an unfortunate thing, but such is life.

But attackers have significantly less control over that layer. This is quite on topic with regards to security nihilism - my parser code being memory safety means that the code that's directly interfacing with attacker input is memory safe. Is the allocator under the hood memory safe? Nope, same with various other components - like my TCP stack. But again, attackers have a lot less control over that part of the stack, so while unfortunate, it's not my main concern.

I do hope to, in the future, leverage a much much more security optimized stack. I'd dive into details on how I intend to do that, but I think it's out of scope for this conversation.
To expand on this a bit, even when it comes to graphics, more complex isn't necessarily "better".

Sometimes a simpler presentation helps focus on what matters most. Sometimes leaving things to the audience's imagination is more impactful than showing them explicitly. Relying on "closure" from the audience is a common technique in horror, for example.

Sometimes interactive fiction can express abstract concepts or subtle detail through prose which would be tremendously difficult to convey visually. The IF titles "9:05" and "Spider and Web" do very interesting things with unreliable narrators, for example. Less can be more.
This was part of an attempt to commit extortion. That's beyond kids being kids or "some responsibility."

Also, it doesn't sound like the police did anything wrong here. They were responding to a report of an armed killer. They had to show up, ready to engage an armed killer. They didn't shoot him, he had a heart attack.
Same here with college. Sometimes I wonder what I could have done to convince myself to go to sleep instead of staying up late.

Do they also need to be able to prepare a world-class meal and opine about Russian stage plays? This is utterly ridiculous. Wake up. You’re not finding candidates because what you’re looking for is too picky. The unwillingness of your company to foster talent or consider employees as assets indicates a deep problem that is shockingly common in an industry blessed by such large amounts of desire and talent. Why do I say that? You’re not willing to train someone up to the position which you lack the ability to fill in a search. I don’t have sympathy for that problem.

I like this idea but I wonder whether the company has considered how many people would qualify, or if they just don’t employ enough people for it to be an actual slippery slope for them.

All women in America, for starters, per their definition. Not that qualified Americans have any problem moving to Europe. But maybe Arabs in Israel, Copts in Egypt, Russians in Ukraine, Zoroastrians in Iran, lots and lots of ethnicities in China, atheists in most countries…

Yes, but I think that within the context of discussing a memory safety vulnerability in a text messaging app it's reasonable to talk about memory safe parsers, no?

Beyond that, I've already addressed phishing at our company, it just didn't seem worth pointing out.
Yes. It's not only not something "objective", it also has nothing to do with the reason why it's it.
