I’d start by looking at overseas policing and taking lessons from them. Look at basing around something like Peelian principals. Find and adopt practices that discourage corruption, just one easy example here is to do away with overtime, cops become salaried and receive TOIL if they work extra hours but are not incentivized to make work. Actually ask questions and study things like, does carrying a gun all the time make an officer safer, in every circumstance? Is it situational? Does it make the public safer? Etc. Build a new curricula around these principals and findings from your studies, with state level police colleges for training. Then start building out a new state wide police service that over time absorbs the functions of various municipal and county departments. Existing officers who want can go through training and continue their careers in the new service, assuming they qualify. Set up an independence conduct commission to be overseen by the public, selecting a jury at random to review cases. (Not an elected position.)

And of course, never stop actually asking the questions how can we improve what we are doing with the principals we have set out.
Depends on who you want to believe. I figure that if corporations can't find people willing and able to work for them, it's entirely their own fault. Their hiring processes are probably crap and their compensation packages little better. But I'm just a burnt out IC so I'm biased to hell and back.
For restaurants, liability on outputs would mean a restaurant being liable for any food poisoning that occurs within X hours of eating there.

You kind of run up against that old English Common Law principle that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty with that idea.

In simple situations, outcomes can work. If you intentionally cause someone to die, you're guilty of murder no matter how you manage to do that (but a chain of causation still needs to be proven, a rough correlation is patently arbitrary and unjust). But complex situations where causation is complicated require standards - proving someone intentionally killed someone in traffic would be hard if there were no traffic laws.
"I can’t imagine a Joe Blow citizen having that equipment to be used for anything other than malicious intent"

Can tech savvy folks here talk about legitimate uses for having such a device?
From what I understand excess consumption causes increase in blood pressure and subsequent cardiovascular problems. Definitely nowhere near as dangerous as sugar, and you die without salt, not so with sugar, but Americans do consume too much of it.
Must have been a poorly made jammer or multiple jammers. 5G is sub 6GHz, LTE is sub 4GHz and for Santa Clara county almost all public service and trunked radio systems are sub 1GHz (radioreference has most of the frequencies between 300MHz+ and 900MHz) so whoever had this jammer running was jamming one hell of a wide swath of the RF spectrum. As you said they were putting out way more RF to jam all that than 5G uses.

Edit note: misread article, states "They found two signal jammers"
Ok, so if I removed 'fallacy' from my original question it would be more correct?

Isn't it still a logical flaw to discount a thing based on where or who you heard the thing from without assessing the validity of the thing itself?

Salt leads to high blood pressure:

https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/healthy-eating/eat-s...

When there’s extra sodium in your bloodstream, it pulls water into your blood vessels, increasing the total amount (volume) of blood inside them. With more blood flowing through your blood vessels, blood pressure increases. It’s like turning up the water supply to a garden hose — the pressure in the hose increases as more water is blasted through it.

Over time, high blood pressure may overstretch or injure the blood vessel walls and speed the build-up of gunky plaque that can block blood flow. The added pressure tires out the heart by forcing it to work harder to pump blood through the body. And the extra water in your body can lead to bloating and weight gain.

High blood pressure is known as the “silent killer” because its symptoms are not always obvious. It’s one of the major risk factors for heart disease, the No. 1 killer worldwide. Almost no one gets a free pass. Ninety percent of American adults are expected to develop high blood pressure over their lifetimes.

Did you know that sodium can affect your blood pressure even more dramatically if you’re sensitive to salt? Recent science explains that certain factors may influence how your blood pressure changes when you eat salt, such as:

Age
Weight
Race/ethnicity
Gender
Some medical conditions (like diabetes or chronic kidney disease)
Even if you don’t already have high blood pressure, eating less sodium can help blunt the rise in blood pressure that occurs with age. It can also reduce your risk of heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney disease, osteoporosis, stomach cancer and even headaches.

At high level yes, but on much lower level that is another story.
When you manufacture your own chips and code your own OS, there are no limits on microtuning. You can design them to work together, instead of when you usually need to make compromises.

These kind of tuning might never end up to Linux kernel being too chip specific.
Apple has also moved a lot of driver code to another layer, and you don’t need that on kernel for example.
This is the future of computing. The course charted by Apple, Dell, and HP is unsustainable.
I'm always skeptical of claims of a cancer cure-all. I think the key to curing cancer will be to discover a method of rapidly finding cures for individual cancers, as each cancer is unique and will need a personalized approach. The immunotherapy approach is having success because broadly speaking, it does this.
Considering the current state of the art (websdr), I’m surprised the FCC doesn’t have a network of SDRs colocated on partner assets (towers) for rapid triangulation of illegal signals (versus the old school method of driving around in a vehicle).
That's basically like a complete software rewrite. If you don't change the environment this works in you end up with the same set of problems eventually. There are a ton of things that could be done to improve american policing. But it's just for ideological grandstanding. This is pretty much the same with healthcare. It's clearly f..ed up but just used as a partisan tool for to win voters.
Olive oil is considered a better oil, but it doesn't mean you can have as much as you want.

It's surprising what you can cook and still get good results without oil. Not that I don't ever use oil, but a lot of times it doesn't actually add much to the dish.

Edit: You can for example saute veggies in water, maybe relying more on spices for flavor. And if you're really looking for some browning/charring, use dry heat from an oven or air fryer.

In Its Last Days in Kabul, U.S. Turns to Taliban as a Partner
> Let’s be honest: Deplatforming Trump and Parler were purely politically biased moves. Amazon probably only took action against Parler because AOC demanded it publicly, which shows that the government will abuse their position to cause censorship of their adversaries, and that technology companies are spineless sycophants who will sacrifice fairness and ethics to pursue friendly political relationships when power changes hands.

AOC is fairly against Amazon and was one of the loudest voices against Amazons HQ2 in NYC.

> Many BLM affiliated groups met this definition in 2020. That didn’t stop Amazon from donating to those groups or from hosting their content. Ignoring this much bigger amount of violent rioting and terrorism from 2020 and focusing on a one day riot in 2021 is the real absurdity.

I’m not aware of BLM supporting any kind of property destruction or violent protests.

The “one day riot” was an attack on America’s Congress. I don’t think Amazon supports any violent protests, nor do we support an attempt to overthrow America’s democracy because one group can’t handle losing an election. Btw… much of that was organized on Parler.

You’re obviously super angry. Frankly I don’t think there’s anything I can or anyone else can say that would make this a productive discussion.

I find it ironic that you dismiss an all out attack on America’s Congress as a “one day riot”, but on the other hand, you’re upset about the Taliban. These terrorist organizations also have goals to subvert America’s system in favor of their own, just like your “one day rioters”. One makes you very upset, and the other one you’re quick to dismiss.

I won’t engage with any further. Good luck, and I suggest taking a break from the Internet.
They’re local police. Easier to just use the disruption to emergency services as justification for a warrant until they figure out who was responsible and can then rope in the feds.
Anecdata from other HN threads is the FCC doesn’t really go looking for these, rather it accepts cases wrapped up in nice little bows by pissed off HAMs. Maybe there weren’t any HAMs in range or he didn’t affect their bands.
Oh yeah. Try an elimination diet that zeroes out sugar and you’ll see how hard it is to find anything on grocery stores that doesn’t have an added sweetener.

Yogurt, bacon, sauces are all sweetened (outside of high end speciality brands). Eggs, raw meat, and raw vegetables are basically the only way to avoid sugar.
I would argue that arithmetic is overvalued in early mathematics education. Category theory, as an example, has many more practical applications and leads into arithmetic. In my experience, early education in mathematics skips many of the prerequisites and you end up learning these things through rote-learning instead of building that knowledge from the fundamentals.
Crap, my bad. You’re right. Clearly I misremembered the case and should have reviewed it first. I withdraw my point about that.

As you said, Katz did say that we do have a reasonable expectation of privacy with respect to person-to-person communications. However, that has no bearing on whether the carrier can or cannot block the communication. That still hinges on whether the carrier is a common carrier.
Early method of making the script run one way in IE and another way in a different browser, also had some predefined variables for handling versions and whatnot. You may remember the same feature but for HTML: <!--[if IE 6]>

Obviously modern HTML tags with fallbacks, @supports in CSS, and proper feature detection instead of hardcoding are the better approach nowadays since everyone finally agreed to follow the standards reasonably closely and you don't need version specific hacks rather just checks that something is supported.
For cooking, try avocado oil (available in any grocery market these days), not olive oil.
Again, a lot is packed into your usage of the term “proper”. I find new code bases in go far easier to read than new code bases in every other language I’ve used. Are you suggesting that most code bases are written by people that don’t know what they are doing, and are improperly using the language features?
Well, there were literally the uranium enrichment centrifuges there one day 10 years ago, the page for which I seen myself.

When I first visited Japan, the wide variety of conveniently available unsweetened tea in vending machines was one of the things I really wished I could take back home with me.
Jury selection is a thing and it is used heavily exactly for the goal you described. Usually the problem is that people with public defenders bullied by the prosecutors settle before even reaching a jury.
The parent comment "should reduce oils" is silly. Oils as a category are hugely important to good health. Presumably, eliminating the bad oils is the way to go.

The way I do it is to have a palette of base ingredients for each of fat, acid, and heat. You can create a lot of beautiful, artful meals with a very limited palette. My fat palette, for instance, is primarily rendered animal fats (pork lard, then beef tallow, then chicken fat, in order of frequency of use--we sautee and sear in, and even eat on toast, almost exclusively rendered animal fat). Then olive oil for finishing and occasionally cooking (e.g. some kinds of fish poached in olive oil is heavenly).

Acid palette is limes/citrus and rice vinegar.

Heat palette is certain peppers and some hot sauces.

All healthful ingredients that can be applied to endless proteins and veggie combos.

The standard American pantry of like a billion different spices and sauces and the United Nations of possible ethnic food types means invariably lots of preservatives and in general mediocre (at best) meals. No non-pro cook can crank out high-quality carne asada one day, then a penne vodka, then an injera platter.

But the answer is: Rendered animal fats are the best substitute, and the real answer is, don't eat processed bullshit food. (Aside: "Lab grown" branding is doing a great job tricking smart people into believing "highly-processed factory-made" is somehow healthy).
Artificial sweeteners are not getting to the root of the problem. What people expect their food to taste like.

Why not dial back on the sweetness? Is it really that addictive? Why not drink water rather than cans of genuine or artificial sugar water.

FUD, sure. Personally I am uneasy about tricking my body that it is getting sugar when it is not. I am not waiting for scientific evidence.

The hippies were right. Eat food. Mostly plants. As close to raw as practical and tasty. If your great grand mother would not recognise it, it is not food.
Well, there went my weekend
They do a good job protecting the property of the wealthy by harassing the "undesirables" to move to designated areas, and that's why certain parts of town are "ghetto". It's a bit of an unspoken rule that as long as the dirty peasants stay in the ghetto they'll be less likely to be harassed. You generally won't be asked where you're going or why in the sketchy part of town, but looking the wrong way and straying in to a nicer part of town... you'll have 3 cruisers on you in 5 minutes.

As long as the police have the support of the upper class, it doesn't matter that the majority of us have lost all faith in the police.
VA Health Care System of the Ozarks Corruption Thrives
I stand corrected now. I seen small portable jammers on Alibaba years ago, but so far nothings like I've seen in the link you gave.
I've had problems getting into bars with a passport before too, I used one for a while when my ID card was expired and people at the door would just say "Sorry we don't take passports."

Then when you call the group of people you were meeting and say "They won't let me in, finish your drinks and let's head somewhere else" they somehow figure out how passports work.
So yet another pump and dump by the early crypto?
Abstract: Politics on the internet doesn't make people assholes. Instead, assholes are drawn to, and conspicuously visible in, politics on the internet.

That's an encouraging thought.
By the way, Leo says that some kids actually solved the problem exactly

Occam’s Razor suggests access to the answer as the simplest explanation. Given the level of parenting described in the article, the perceived academic stakes within the context would justify the proverbial file cabinets with answers to the professors’ tests moved down to primary school…I mean some parents have kids competing with the NP complete kid.
If the question is asking how many possible solutions there are, it can be solved with generating functions. (This method was popularized by George Pólya but I learned it from Knuth.)

Let A(z) be the generating function for the number of ways to spend n cents using only the $1.22 yoyo. Then naturally we can only spend those n that are multiples of 122 cents. So we define

A(z) = 1 + z^122 + z^244 + z^366 + ...

In this formulation the coefficient represents the number of ways: that's why the coefficient is 1 if the power is a multiple of 122 but 0 otherwise. Next we realize this infinite sum can be transformed into

A(z) = 1 / (1 - z^122).

Next, we consider what happens if we are allowed to use both the $1.22 yoyo and $2.75 doll. We get

B(z) = 1 / (1 - z^275) * A(z).

We repeat this for all items, to arrive at the closed form solution

U(z) = 1 / ((1 - z^122) * (1 - z^275) * (1 - z^185) * ... * (1 - z^87))

Now if we have a computer algebra system we just ask it to do a Taylor expansion and read off the solution at the z^4394 term. Mathematica can do it but sadly I can't get Wolfram Alpha to do it. The answer is 4794820.

(This allows repetitions, and I think the author didn't allow repetitions. The author also missed the third item, the $1.85 duckie which is apparent from the posted code and the fact that there are references to 2^20 not 2^21.)

If you don't have a computer algebra system you can of course solve it manually with dynamic programming: the coefficient of z^n for B(z) is equal to the coefficient of z^n for A(z) plus the coefficient of z^(n-275) for B(z). Just think about the distributive law for multiplication.

But then for Hacker News, I guess dynamic programming is more preferred then:

#include <array>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
static constexpr std::array<int, 21> kItemPrices = {
122, 275, 185, 597, 647, 216, 713, 457, 146, 518, 316,
489, 711, 645, 477, 804, 671, 231, 621, 98, 87};
static std::array<std::array<int, 4395>, kItemPrices.size()> dp = {};

// Base case
for (int j = 0; j <= 4394; j += kItemPrices[0])
dp[0][j] = 1;

// Recurrence
for (int i = 1; i < kItemPrices.size(); ++i) {
for (int j = 0; j <= 4394; ++j) {
dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j] +
(j - kItemPrices[i] < 0 ? 0 : dp[i][j - kItemPrices[i]]);
}
}

printf("%d\n", dp[20][4394]);
}
Isn't this a bit like saying most software these days isn't manually built, because they use compilers?
Okay that definitely makes more sense. I use those IE conditional comments to this day in email templates (for Outlook).

You know you have a problem when you need to alter web standards in order to let programmers get around your alterations of web standards.

As a new HTML coder back in the day these conditional comments were really odd to me. Thankfully we don't have to deal with that much anymore although IE 11 is still out there, lurking.
If I were trying to develop a jamming detector or jam-resistant device perhaps I’d order that device. But I wouldn’t turn it on in the middle of a suburb.

Far fetched but the thought amuses me.
As the article said, "this is structural racism".

Interestingly, the models did not do anything wrong. They are only trying to predict the future based on the past. The colored groups have been discriminated and tend to have less salary/less stable jobs etc, which causes the model to characterize them as high risk for mortgages. This is technically correct though clearly unethical and promotes continuing structural racism.

Unfortunately, not all technical engineers who trains the models may realize this. In fact, a few years ago there's news about Facebook use AI to pre-filter applicant resumes, and it results in applicants being penalized for being female.

This is another reason I believe "explainable AI" is important. Humans can easily identify the "correct but unreasonable" parts. Machines probably can never learn the human society's ethics by themselves.
Old monitors can be found in thrift stores and the facebook market for $5-10 too.
Very much so. I just saw this article the other day:

Super Simple: Drinking Enough Water Could Prevent Heart Failure

https://scitechdaily.com/super-simple-drinking-enough-water-...
This is a story I heard when I worked at the BBC.
Years ago the BBC had many reports of bad reception in a certain part of the UK. Eventually they traced it to a isolated house near a BBC broadcast tower.
The resident had rigged up a big induction coil on his property and he was leaching hundreds of watts from the tower's transmissions. He was using the power to run his house lighting "for free", not realizing he was casting a huge detectible shadow. The story says that he was prosecuted.

If anybody has any hard details or can confirm this BBC legend it would make me very happy.
The relevance is that Apple provides two independent services:

* iMessage, which does use true E2E encryption in transit.

* iCloud backup, which backs up the contents of your device (including your unencrypted at-rest iMessage data), and does NOT support E2E encryption.

Technically if you (and all your friends) use iMessage and don’t use iCloud backup, then it is impossible for Apple to read your messages.

In reality, the alternatives to iCloud backup are too risky and/or cumbersome, so most people use it, with the result that Apple can read your iMessages once they’ve been sent/received and your phone has performed a backup.

Who Is Inside Jake Paul's Robot “The Problem Bot”? Revealed
I've been in some really, really poor parts of the world, and nearly everyone's home I ever visited, they had a tv set. What they didn't have was round-the-clock electricity (sometimes it was scheduled, sometimes it was just off and on at random) or running water.
As one of the comments above supposes, this may have been a misguided person thinking they'd be shielding themselves from 5g -- protecting themselves from cancer that might be caused by 5g. Obviously the jammer would hurt them more, if energy at those frequencies does hurt humans (60W is a lot to put into a 5g jamming!).

Such an intent would not be malicious.

Another possible use might be to try to dissuade neighbors and phone companies from using 5g in the area. This would mean taking one for the team for a while until they give up. Except they wouldn't give up -- they would go find the jammer and get them arrested.

I can't think of a legitimate use for a 5g jammer.
Ironically I’d worry about this jammer being powerful enough to pose a mild health impact on people in the vicinity.
