> Aren’t the SF DA and SF police in active conflict, with police refusing to respond to lots of issues in protest of the reforms and change in priorities of the DA’s office that they disagree with?

No. The DA has made it clear that he will not prosecute these cases, period. Trying to change the subject to "well, don't the police disagree with the no-prosecute policy? And due to this disagreement are they not creating the crimes?" is not a logical response to the situation.

The crimes are increasing because the perps know they wont get prosecuted. How the police feel about it is not a factor.

Yes, it does.

Marx: "Socialism is just one step away from Communism."

There's no Communist country with more than one party.
Likely it was her fault - are we not allowed to be realistic and say that anymore? Also, she wasn't wearing a helmet so isn't that her fault as well?

It's not like somebody attacked her and I'm blaming her. She fell off her bike without a helmet on. It's a different situation
Fine, make it 10-20 instead. But clearly the punishments we have now are too lenient to be effective.

These kinds of problems can be solved using neural networks as the foundation for search (variously termed "neural information retrieval" and "semantic search"). I worked on this at Google Research from 2016-2020, before launching ZIR AI in 2020 to make neural search available as a PaaS, just like Elasticsearch and Algolia have done for keyword matching.

Here are a couple of introductory pieces if you're interested in learning more:

The "Disabling Import Elision" section is interesting - I didn't realize that modules used inside string formatters would be automatically removed by the unused module remover. It just goes to show how hard it is to anticipate all of the ways a given optimization might legitimately break code.

Wondering what other languages have precedent for the changes described in "Template String Types as Discriminants".
The one counterexample that comes to mind is Amazon and Jeff Bezos. Jeff spent eight years working before starting Amazon (albeit in finance), and yet Amazon is not particularly known for being employee-friendly.

Another example: EPA allows up to 15 µg/L of lead in drinking water. But lower levels are known to be dangerous:

“Researchers now know, blood lead levels in children as low as five micrograms per deciliter — the Centers for Disease Control's "level of concern" — can lead to IQ deficits and increases in behavior problems like ADHD and conduct disorder.

In adults, low-level exposure of 10 micrograms per deciliter can cause high blood pressure and kidney problems.”

And the CDC has said that no level of lead in blood is safe.

Good ideas. I think I like your 'experience' idea. I'm so fixated on things and everyone has 'things.' But experiences, like a spa treatment, massage, or getaway as you say, are things people are probably less likely to do for themselves. Especially if they involve yourself.

Not telling you like I'm teaching you something, I'm literally writing my line of thoughts after reading what you wrote - so thanks.
Funny that the article links to an AP story that refutes the judge's statements; e.g:

"The Associated Press analyzed more than 300 criminal cases stemming from the protests incited by Floyd’s murder, showing that many leftist rioters had received substantial sentences, rebutting the argument that pro-Trump defendants were treated more harshly than Black Lives Matter protesters."

"The statements by McFadden, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, were a major departure from the other federal judges overseeing insurrection cases so far, despite other Trump appointees on the court assigned to the hundreds of cases. They have generally discussed seriousness of the crime and its unique place in American history - different from other violent free speech protests because it sought to disrupt the peaceful transition of power."
Those terms are not interchangeable.
ARM Cortex has a pistol, X86 has a howitzer comparatively.

The observation that ARM also uses a decoder is not a useful one.
Custom embroiders/engraves are basically a way to reduce the second hand market as fewer people want to buy a luxury product with someone else's name on it.
> Android OEMs... can’t afford to invest in premium hardware features.

I think there are a lot of android phones that have had premium features: e.g. foldables, 90-120 Hz refresh rates (Apple only recently caught up), Vivo x70 Pro Plus w/ an amazing camera that beats the best iPhones (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0r2rENgvwY), etc.. I think there's just a perception that Apple hardware is better, but I feel like they put in above average hardware overall w/ good polish. These are all hardware features. Sure, the performance of Qualcomm chips lag Apple's, but that's because Apple's engineering team is better than Qualcomm's (IMO). I am sure that Samsung, etc. would buy a faster chip for their flagships if it was available. E.g. Samsung, etc. typically fill their flagships with crazy amounts of RAM and Storage.

Yes, coincidence. People (probably) search tens of thousands of domain names each day. A certain number of those domains will end up being taken by someone else in short order simply due to coincidence.

It's the same coincidence that causes every really good name I come up with for a site to have been taken years ago. There are a lot of web developers out there!
Everything (https://www.voidtools.com/) has essentially replaced my local and network share search option. It's a staggering difference, and Search in Windows 10 seems to be primarily designed to show you ad results with the occasional locally installed app thrown in around 50% of the time.
> You're implying that because they're within legal limits everything is A-OK (how are the limits set? Exhibit A: US drinking water pollutant limits, which were raised by Bush, not based on science)

The obverse is also true: "XY detected in ZY" on its own is not very meaningful, because many compounds can be detected in staggeringly low concentrations.
Don’t forget ‘houseless’ or ‘transient’ to describe homeless. Or ‘bodies with vaginas’ to describe women. Or ‘latinx’ to describe latinos. Pretty sure all of these are exonyms. The linguistic contortions we have to perform to describe things we already had perfectly acceptable words for is absurd and rarely serves the person or thing being described.
Since this is (arguably) directed to me:

Others have given equally persuasive reasons, but for me, it's simply that it's too easy for Amazon to give away vast amounts of data on me, and why should I give them even more of it?

Secondly, the thought of one multi-trillion dollar company owning the entire economy is repulsive. Let some other players in the game, too. I'd rather break them up than make them even bigger.
Academia is a pyramid scheme, which by necessity means that most people have to lose in order for a few to win.

Fortunately for science and engineering Ph.D.'s there are usually decent opportunities in industry.
Look at the track layout for the Tohoku Shinkansen [1], you'll see that on most stations, there are either two platform tracks per direction, or one platform track and one passing track. In this world, on mainline rail, stations usually have more tracks than the lines they connect to. (Yes this is not uniformly so, but trains don´t have to uniformly stop at all stops, they can skip smaller ones to reduce dwell time pressure)

Btw, more station tracks than line tracks can also happen on regional rail, for example check out the downton section of RER C in Paris (the yellow line) [2].

>It's not worth it when you have both innocent people and cops themselves frequently getting killed as a result. There are plenty of other ways to catch stupid criminals that don't carry the same risks.

"worth it", "frequently", "risks"

These are all numerical arguments but you're claiming it isn't about numbers. Set a value for risk and reward and drive for that policy. Don't make vague arguments that lean on statistics when it feels useful but refuse to say when something is worth it.

What I see is kids getting shot in the street and my neighbors mugged and carjacked and police picking up guns in routine traffic stops. I don't think those are very "hypothetical".
It’s such a good name. I like any company name with ‘general’ in, it’s such a humblebrag, but General Magic especially so.

‘So, er what do you do?’
‘Oh, you know. General Magic.’
Me too -- It was a discard from school, that I repaired and started my unix adventure with NetBSD on. Figured out how to get a serial console on it, and had my sibling and I on a text-only AOLIM client while dialed out with PPP way back in the day...

Love this, and hope you continue the development.

Feature request: Ability to open an HN URL in Haxplore.
I'm willing to bet that some site I've never heard of's technical decisions are more influenced than the are influential.
It's broken on Chrome and Firefox, latest versions, on Linux if that might help.

In fairness, that's been a thing you can just -do- for years now
Even if that's true, the percentage of people who commit traffic violations that are violent criminals is still extremely small, making it effectively a random search.

People who commit crimes are probably more likely to get parking tickets too. Should police search the homes of everyone who gets a parking ticket since there's a slightly increased chance they'll find evidence of a crime by doing that?
So many versions and rewrites of wikis.

github even has their own wiki system.

None of them support pull requests. (wikipedia supports patch/diff style manual change requests done via talk pages which is sorta gets you there, but not quite the github style automated pull request work flow i'd love to see supported)

Its honestly a shame.

Indeed the article speaks to this:

“ In terms of washing, it should remove some residues on the skin of a product (which will often be fungicides used to prevent rotting during storage and transportation). However, many modern [synthetic] pesticides are what are called ‘systemic’ which means that they are absorbed into the plant and distributed throughout its tissues, reaching any fruits or flowers. As a result, pesticide residues are often contained within the body of the produce itself and therefore washing the surface won’t remove them.”
The industrial revolution was an aberration when it comes to how many hours people worked.

For example, prior to the industrial revolution, people worked roughly 1,440 hours a year[1]. During the industrial revolution, that shot up past 3,200 hours of working a year.

Today, in the US, the number of hours worked per year has stayed relatively stable since the 1970's. People work about 1,800 hours a year which, while lower than during the industrial revolution, is still more than people historically did in the past.

One of those is not like the other...
no other language had anywhere near the amount of users who were put onto it, regardless of their tastes. js is ubiquotous, node js highly present.

and unlike these other languages there s not usually one or two ways of doing things. there's so many different frameworks, build tools, countless stacks beyond measure. when someone is force converted onto node they're more likely than not to have poor footing, be unable to make the typical sloe steady grind into proficiency they would with a less diverse language like python or ruby.
What part of the article is wrong? Have measures been taken in California to combat shoplifting since it was written?
If you're doing audio then just stick to podcasts. There's several mature platforms for monetization at expert or beginner levels. You can use social media channels to build audience and just something like anchor, acast, simplecast, transistor to whatever to host and monetize the content.
I sort of disagree with the headline of the OP.

Yes, at some point, if someone is going to make a full-time living doing something, they probably need an income stream from it unless they have a significant other source of income/wealth.

At the same time, there's this attitude related to a lot of digital creative goods that because it's essentially free to reproduce, you "ought" to be able to build a business out of it. In the past most people wouldn't have assumed the same of their pottery or woodworking hobby.

But today, for many, it needs to be at least a "side hustle."
Yet another libertarian/right wing "think tank," this one recently formed to push the "freedom" agenda that claims government efforts to fight the pandemic are an unacceptable infringement of our freedom to kill ourselves (and others).
What the former CEO of Reddit learned from Silicon Valley about planting trees
Meh, in the context of emulation, which ran at 5% before JITs, 70% is pretty close to 1:1 performance. Given the M1 is also a faster cpu than any x86 Macbooks, and it´s really a wash (yes, recompiling under arm is faster...)
How about no. How about people use curbstomp whenever they damn please. I'm very well aware of what you're implying and what you're trying to do here. Poison the well, police the conversation. Just like the OK sign just means "ok", curbstomp just means curbstomp. The fact that someone somewere used these things in a racist context means nothing, as these words/signs are not racist at all. Racists also use toilet paper, are we going to ban it? How about air or water. No, all of these attempts to police and cancel speech need to go to hell.
PICO-8 is fantastic! If you know the platformer Celeste, it started off originally as a PICO-8 game for a game jam. It really feels to me as an exemplar of 'constraints beget creativity'.
Blame doesn’t always have a negative connotation. Obviously, the chips have worked well for us.
A couple weeks ago I was on a motorcycle for the first time on a small island in Thailand. I was going slowly and had no incidents.

On the way, two girls on a motorcycle passed me the other direction going way too fast (and they were positively beaming - I was thinking "they are having a little too much fun")

A few minutes later we turned back and happened across them shortly after they fell off their bike going around a turn with nobody else around.

There is a reason they had an accident that day and not me. Yes of course things happen all the time that are out of our control but... Not always, especially when it comes to falling off your bike when nobody else is around.

Another story... I know somebody who got in a bike accident near a college campus somewhat recently. They never maintained their bike and their front tire had basically come apart while they were riding it. That was also their fault.

I know these are anecdotes but so is that story that prompted this discussion. In life it's important to focus on what you can control because those are the things most likely to impact you on any given day.

Flying a small plane is a totally different topic... There are several orders of magnitude more factors outside your control than riding a bike through a college campus

You're right that that has little to do with randomness. But it also has little to do with investing.
Because he didn’t work as an engineer. He worked in finance, which is famous for abusing their employees.
From the article:

“In terms of washing, it should remove some residues on the skin of a product (which will often be fungicides used to prevent rotting during storage and transportation).

Or you could do me a favor and explain, since you already seem to know.

The changes over the past 50 years are definitely less than in the prior 50 years (and the 50 years before that).
You win a war by achieving your political goals. It's entirely possible to win every battle and completely defeat the enemy but still lose the war, if those battles don't bring you any closer to achieving the goals. Or because you're not even sure what your goals are.

An occupying force can win the war by convincing people that resistance is no longer worth it. That tends to require clear goals, a clear vision of the future, and selling that vision to the people.
You're misinterpreting what random paper says.

Random paper (Fama et al.) doesn't say it's impossible to predict how well a company performs. It says why do you think you can predict better than the 1000 Ph.D. employed by trading co. inc. when all of you have access to the same public information? So the price of the company's stock is going to converge to some number that already reflects the known information.

Not sure where you're getting the stock returns are random bit either.
Exactly. If a private business has the right to refuse to bake a cake for a gay wedding, they certainly have a right to refuse to publish the opinions of someone with whom they disagree.
If the game allows cheating for certain group of players, then the game is rigged.
>To answer your question directly: no. Cost is prime

I meant to the customer or owner, over the normal lifetime of the vehicle, not to corporate accountants that translate pennies into millions of dollars.

"More expensive" presumably is a small amount per car; the average new car in the US is over $40K.
If you think it’s so easy, then I suggest maybe you should go lose a few hundred pounds from your current weight, and come back and report to us on how that went.

We can wait.
That would only make sense if there was no other way to prevent these crimes.

It's like asking for "numbers" to justify not putting every 16-25 year old male in prison. It would drastically reduce the crime rate!

The numbers are: innocent people and police are dying needlessly, and any potential effect on the crime rate could also be achieved without those people dying through better policing strategies. It's pure waste.
"Not enforced" and "legal" are close enough to be considered synonyms in everyday speech. You often hear people say that marijuana is legal in Amsterdam. It is in fact illegal, but it exists in a funny grey area where it is tolerated and police don't enforce laws against recreational marijuana use. Enough that there's an entire "coffeeshop" culture that's sprung up there around marijuana use.

So yeah, hearing "there's a law against this but there's no enforcement of that law"...most people shrug and say, "ok, that's legal".
Funny ... I had a bigger issue with the word "steal". If Namecheap did in fact squat on the domain he searched for, they could only register it because he hadn't - I don't for a minute think this is ethical (or even nice) but I doubt you could argue this is an actual crime.

Isn't it her husband who does her investing, and that is his trade? The claim is less remarkable with this in mind.
I had an SE/30! It was a big upgrade from my Mac Plus, even with the external floppy drive, because I could finally compile Pascal code without having to swap discs. All of this was a HUGE upgrade from my //e with only one drive where I had to swap floppies for Apple Pascal constantly.

The SE/30 was a seriously useful computer and a ridiculously fun machine to use every day.
PICO-8 lets you export cartdata to standard files, so you could "sell" it just as much as anyone else on Gumroad selling access to files. Or maybe you want to introduce some PICO-8 DRM? It's possible, as far as I know.
Then Google will just have to work harder. Banning legitimate customers over automation failures is not a thing that should be considered acceptable or legal.
People used to say the same thing, prohibiting people of various races from entering their private establishments. These establishments, such as restaurants, provided public services.

>"This is an excellent example of positive use of IP law, and why removing copyright and patent would harm"

And there are countless counter-examples when IP law causes harm to consumers and inventors.

>"legitimate business models"

And what makes them legitimate? IP law is an artificial construct which currently serves select few. Why should not I be able to "invent" something and sell it without the worries just because somebody else happened to have the same idea? And many of the existing patents, especially ones in a software field can be "invented" by any reasonably intelligent Joe Doe in a few minutes if there is a need.
> Maybe we should just demand all information be open.

This is both theoretically and practically impossible.
Plenty of people do (they're some of the most beloved chips of all time), but their peak was pre-1990, so most people don't bring them up in discussions like this.
It's funny how often you show up in these threads Nicksil. Doing exactly this.

Is that really the only choice? The United States has many faults, but one can buy a phone and SIM card here without ID or proof of age, yet our ISPs typically do not filter websites.
Neither of those examples have anything at all to do with the military or IC, so it's hard to understand what you're trying to communicate. Would you mind trying a different approach?
