Have the race numbers been regressed against wealth/income? I'd reckon it's mostly just poor discrimination (i.e. people who can't afford a lawyer) rather than straight racism.

This is a really great comparison. I might borrow it in the future :-)

But yes, if you have classic OLAP-style queries (e.g., queries that need to touch every database row), Clickhouse is likely the better option.

For anything time-series related, and/or if you like/love Postgres, that is where TimescaleDB shines. (But please make sure you turn on compression!)

TimescaleDB also has a good clustering story, which is also improving over time. [0][1]

I tried WinReducer on Windows 10 recently; it didn't reduce the ISO size by much, but it did successfully remove pre-installed apps and services that serve no useful purpose (like telemetry, legacy server features, etc.). Went with a fine-toothed comb through the task scheduler afterwards and managed to get down to a pretty snappy Win10 install that quickly boots to the desktop with 1.8Gb RAM usage (as opposed to the 2.5Gb RAM I see on a regular Win10 install on the same machine).

Don't use its defaults though; it'll remove Microsoft Account login and Store (which I wanted because I have Game Pass for the kids).
My theory for that is that companies in the US have a culture of prioritizing support tickets by a product of “outrageousness” and reach.

If you sound like your next step is to sue the company, they solve your issue before the ones that sounded understanding and forgiving. Same with reach, if your complaint reach HN front over or get traction on Twitter, it is solved first than those that just sent an email.
It does. The AMA decides how many residency spots there is.
Hm, Jove and Yahwe are pretty close i'd say.
How do Google's pure Android phones compare in this regard? Are they supported for longer?

Eg, is this premature ending of support a Samsung thing, or is it endemic to the whole Android ecosystem, including Google?
I think switching off automatic updates and running a few months behind is the safest plan. There are risks around not getting security updates as fast, but they are probably not large for any individual user.

I’m hoping they’ll realise that they confused privacy and trust and get back on track soon enough.
That's one of the benefits of having a legalized cartel (the AMA) working for you.
>OK, and?

I was responding to the disingenuous claims in the original post.

>Nobody was shot or otherwise injured

Being held at gunpoint might not cause physical injuries but its dismissive to pretend it causes no injuries.

>After he was released, there were no similar offenses. Why would you still want to treat him like a violent criminal 13 years later?

I wouldn't, don't attribute the strawman in your head to me.

More relevant to the original post I responded to I also wouldn't pretend he was only subject to a "web of laws designed to incarcerate black people" after getting punished for committing a violent crime.
> It's hard to remember to have empathy when whatever you say is met with a standard, often nonsensical readout of the next thing in their script.

Personally, I have greater empathy for people in those roles. Working support must suck, but being first line support in a call center truly sounds like hell. I'm usually pretty good about not letting my frustration with the company/product/support process spill over and cause me to mistreat ground-level workers.

Maybe there is a cultural/linguistic phenomenon at play here, where Western/English-speaking cultures rely more heavily on synecdoche, so we just view the support person purely as an extension of the company/product causing us problems?
This is amazing. Thank you!

Does it take into account negative reviews/comments? I have seen that Why we sleep is being recommended in the 6 months tab, but, while it was received with a lot of praise, it was soon critizised by others researchers in the field and I would expect that the HN crowd would have followed that trend.
This is awesome and will enable a whole suite of apps to be build on top of it. Great work
the ability of people to join in where they will is really cool. the thread digresses into all sorts of little bits of tech, & people's ability to fork off & go on about similar shared experiences, at those points, is just so great.
This is not limited to India. In many countries with not great records on women's rights, dramatically more women go into STEM. Female participation rate in CS programs in Thailand with 55%, Guyana with 54%, Malaysia with 51%, Iran with 41%, Zimbabwe with 41%, and Mexico with 39%.

>>You can detect critical parts of your product

THIS!!!

Not necessarily phone-only, but the help line/desk is an incredible goldmine of information on the actual in-field use of your product. More valuable than 100 design sessions, focus groups, Product Manager opinions, etc.

Yet it is frequently ignored as a cost sink. This is in no small part a reason for the declining reputation of 'big tech'. Too many product managers just don't want to be pushed off of their 'vision' for the product by the actual in-field reality (Win-11 seems to be the latest victim of this myopia).
“Indirect” racism is also racism. There may be a semantic difference, but no practical difference to the victims.
Slowing down is mostly caused by battery wear. All my Android devices have had the same problem.
I don't think I've even gotten two years of Android updates on any phone. I don't tend to buy my phones right at the release date and it seems most Android phones offer 2 years of updates from the first day the phone was available, not 2 years from purchase/activation.

I now have an iPhone 12.
regarding George Floyd's history as a pregnant women stomach stickin' bad man, dunno if that counts.

As a practical matter, I'd say it's more along the lines of just how do you control a crazy acting person without hurting them. A certain number of them are going to die, there's no way around it. Most people would probably agree that a lot of traffic stops and arrests are for chickenshit offenses. Add to that the fact that police are wired a little like German Shepherds. You run, they chase.
Looks like you lost updates a few years ago, if anything big securitywise happens there's a chance they'll fix it otherwise you just gotta be hopeful you don't run into anything nefarious.

Of course! We could go on for ages.

And if you want to go on for ages, I recommend Reason, the strident Libertarian rag — not because I want to be a cheerleader for the libertarians (ick) but because they've been covering this topic since March 1989 (!) (!!) (!!!) (but more regularly and in more depth since 2007.)

Yes, but the comparison is useless. Presumably, at least some of that civil forfeiture is "legitimate", i.e. illegal gains. So what are you actually comparing here?
I would 100% rather get a 1 time credential than go through the current interview process every few years.
> or is this assuming that candidates are only as good as they are at interview time

I'd assume they meant the opposite: candidates are at least as good as they are at interview time, so if they're not capable of filling the role, that ought to be obvious in a properly-done interview.
The source of these laws were actually pretty pragmatic. The point was to help enforce custom duties on people that would never step foot in the country. Instead of trying to chase someone down in, for example, France, that didn't pay their customs duties (not really practical in the 19th century), they seized the ship and the contents of it.

Glad to hear it! Seems like not too long ago mobile devices were worthless after a few years, but those days are past.
I bought my motorcycle around 1995 for ~$800. It was a 1984 Honda Nighthawk 650. Sold it a few years later because I was moving and didn't have room for 2 vehicles.
Fuel was ~$0.50/L
$5 would fill it up (10L tank)
I could drive ~200km on a full tank.

Adjusted for inflation that equals ~$1300 today.

I've looked around at a lot of used motorcycles
and I've see other 1984 Honda's that are asking $2500-$3000
The average price seems to be $4k-$5k for 20 year old bikes!

This used to be a financially viable option for CHEAP transportation. Not anymore.

I want to ride again, and even though my wife would kill me if I did; I just can't afford it.
Once upon a time, it was all I could afford; now it's a fancy toy that I can't afford. I think that stings more.

I would abstract this topic to: talking to your users is important, and phone is a high-bandwidth medium.

In particular, it seems like this developer recognized that phone connects them to their less technically savvy users, who - by being most different from the dev himself - can give him the most valuable outside perspective. Depending on your market, if you're trying to sell into non-techies this could provide hugely valuable insights.

In general, the closer you are to the development side of things, the more you have a very specific (and I guess "correct") model of how your system works. By default, all of your documentation/support forms/etc implicitly reflect this model. But if your users model the thing in their brain differently, then your help/form aren't the most helpful in educating them or eliciting their true feedback/problem.

One final thing - I have seen 'magic' where developers who chafed at tickets coming in from support staff (withdrawn, user error) would all of a sudden get excited about rebuilding something when the user themselves or even the support person, just explained in a higher-bandwidth way why the problem is real. It's easy to read a ticket and go "oh that's dumb, they should just do X" but on the phone/in person you go more into like "oh, this is a really reasonable/nice/smart person who's trying to use my system to do something important, and it's not letting them."

Gets a totally different type of results.
...but just that it is worse in most metrics than some of them, and worse in some metrics than most of them?

Jokes aside though, this s*t is pretty bad. I can't believe it is legal.
Leaving updates up to carriers makes it super hard to test mobile apps. You get a bug where it only happens on Samsung Whatever on Android 11, but the phone you bought for QA hasn't yet gotten that update. So you test on an emulators which, of course, don't reproduce the bug.
I guess it's ok to read The C Programming Language, then.

Looks like in older bikes you had much more control of how the engine performed at your fingertips (timing and a choke) --obviously this has to do with the carburetor, except for the exhaust release. I don't think I ever saw bike with that control. Pretty interesting.
Don't really need DPI to detect services and protocol patterns, just a decent perimeter device which almost everyone has.

It was a little cumbersome to list every DDL SQL command, which why it uses that language. But that is the intent.

If you have a specific question, happy to answer it here (or offline)

Also, we used this language deliberately to provide more clarity. DDL vs DML is a pretty clear line to most developers who use TimescaleDB (vs some other companies who use language like, "you can't compete with us" etc).
Does Nix really not have debug symbols available for most packages? That's astonishing....

It gets much much worse. Did you know that civil forfeiture recently surpassed the $ amount burglars steal from people.

https://www.nemannlawoffices.com/blog/law-enforcement-seized...

The way I see this federal government steals from people with:

1. No mechanism to get their assets back

2. No mechanism to lawfully prove whether civil forfeiture was rightful

3. No special political mechanism to moderate civil forfeiture

We're essentially dealing with police stealing money from us.

What surprises me is all these people who are against taxes, which is a legal framework for individuals to pay their debt back to society in a way:

1. You can always argue your money back. There is an established mechanism.

2. It needs to be proven precisely whether you owe that money.

3. It is one of political institutions primary goal to moderate taxes. Not to mention countless tax breaks people have almost every year.

I feel extremely confused how people look at this data and decide taxes are a much bigger problem, when government has ability to straight up steal from us for whatever reason, and they do so more than other private citizens (i.e. burglars). Complete bonkers. This is beyond 3rd world country issue, this is systematic, formalized theft -- in a way that can only be possible in the US.
One thing I've been impressed by is that Chewy has no phone tree. It's direct dial to a human who actually can help with most issues. Apparently their reps commonly get mistaken for phone trees out of instinct.

They're only encrypted when on iCloud, not when on your device. The hashes are computed on your device.
Not sure this is a good argument.

Death of the Calorie - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19403762 - March 2019 (74 comments)
I'm guessing you haven't been following the issue.

More details in [1], but briefly:

They hash the images that you're uploading to iCloud. If it matches one of the hashes in the database, then it gets encrypted and transmitted to them. No single data packet can be decrypted, they need 30 (?) matches with that database in order to get a decryption key that then allows them to review the uploaded images. They don't send the actual images to the reviewers, it's altered in some way. At that point the reviewer will have 30 (?) thumbnails (?) to review. If the images look like CSAM, then they'll report it to NCMEC who then report it to law enforcement (NCMEC is not, itself, a law enforcement agency).

The ? are because I don't think they've publicly stated (or I've not read) what the threshold for decryption is or how they modify the images that get sent to the reviewers.

Not really sure what you are trying to say here. Your tone suggests that you are refuting OP's point when you are actually reinforcing it (the Oklahoma bombing was a terrorist attack albeit domestic)
After discovering that the Windows 98 DOS bootup disks boots DOS, creates a ram drive, and decompresses the various utilities into a ram drive, I decided that it would be fun optimizing the bootup disk. I tried various things that include switching out the cabinet decompressor with pkunzipjr and formating the floppy disk with 2MGUI, a utility that puts 2 megabytes of data onto a disk, but I couldn't fit the 3 disks set into 1 disk.

Those were fun times.
Every major iOS update adds more functionality that consumes more CPU cycles even in the background. Unless something strictly requires new hardware to work, they include the features.

Maybe if Apple refused to support new features on old hardware it would solve this issue, but then you just anger users who are forced to buy new hardware to get a new feature...

That sounds really similar to the setup I made for my parent's RV. Cradlepoint devices are really fantastic for what they do. If you set it up correctly, you can also use it to bridge WiFi, so all the devices internally only ever connect to the WiFi from the Cradlepoint and when you can you can park near a public WiFi hotspot and bridge it. This can often be faster or more reliable than 4G, depending on your location, or in their case if you pay for RV park premium WiFi.

We found that Verizon had very good coverage of 4G/LTE, especially in areas that were unlikely to be covered by other providers. AT&T was a good backup. T-Mobile was not, even though it was cheaper, coverage off the Interstate or in sparser populated areas was pretty bad. We also found how much throughput was needed to handle my dad's work remotely and set an upward limit on throughput on the Cradlepoint so we would overwhelm any WiFi networks we used as a courtesy to others, which ended up being around 10Mbps. Honestly, if you could just get 10Mbps nationwide without interruption, I think it would make a huge difference in the possibilities of remote work and rural technology.

Love the photos, we also used the IBR1700. I set it up with NetCloud though with an active license from Cradlepoint (and bought new) so I could help my parents remotely administrate it while they were traveling.

Have you tried satellite internet with the rooftop dishes that have electronically controlled seeking / adjustments? It was another thing we considered but hadn't done yet, but once Starlink becomes more widely available would be worth a consideration.
In anticipation of getting flagged into oblivion, am I the only one who's disappointed in this selection of books?

Of course, taste is subjective, and it should perhaps be expected that much of the list is in line with what is read by the general public, but many of the books are either presenting fact or attempting to convince the reader of the veracity of a certain viewpoint. I'd like to read more open-ended works that ask for interpretation on the part of the reader or, at the least, don't explicitly spell out what they want the reader to walk away with. (certainly some books here fit the bill, e.g. Infinite Jest, Pride & Prejudice, etc.). Again, interests are subjective.

In light of this, book recommendations?
This is straight up flame bait that adds nothing to an otherwise reasonable discussion.

I'm not discounting any evidence. I accept that the department presented that pretty weak-sounding evidence, and it's possible they got the right guy. However, the actual woman he threatened did not identify him, the method of identification is no longer used by the department (nowadays a photo array has to be presented by officers who don't know any of the suspects, so they can't introduce any bias), there was no physical evidence at all, there is an incredibly long documented history of police lying in cases just like this one, there is an equally long history of defendants being pushed into plea deals despite their innocence, 7 year olds are not reliable even in the best of circumstances, and Floyd himself maintained his innocence before and after his jail time. Based on the totality of the evidence I'm aware of, I believe there's a significant chance Floyd was innocent of this charge.

I'm very comfortable saying that even in an ideal future where racial harmony has been achieved and police misconduct is a distant memory, if placed on a jury I still would never convict someone on the sole evidence of a 7-year-old's photo array testimony 3 months after the crime occurred.

That happened to me. I wanted to reset my account password so they agreed to send a "password reminder" via post. I thought that was weird. I expected a temporary password which I will be forced to change upon login. To my surprise they printed my existing account password and sent it to me via postal mail! WTF! I went on Trustpilot immediately and saw they had 1/5 stars from 40k reviews.
I was correcting the commenter; not judging the value of the comparison - as weird as it is that civil forfeiture is more rampant than burglary.
