I'm following you, I agree with all this. I'd say the study I posted does somewhat account for this because it looked at many different geographic areas and therefore income levels, and found a higher proportion of Black deaths in all of them. But I agree it doesn't directly consider what you're asking.

I'm not sure if the data exists for this. You'd need to record a huge sampling of police interactions and somehow classify the behavior of the civilian independent of the police to see if they were "aggressive" or "escalated", which is quite difficult. And part of the issue is that many behaviors that police often claim are aggressive are obviously not, so who gets to define these words? Very tough.

Overall, I think I agree that given the data we've discussed in this thread, there's no way to prove whether or not disproportionate deaths are caused by police bias. I started this conversation to respond to a question in the Twitter thread you linked: "I'm going to keep tweeting this until someone can explain to me how this is possible if there is truly pervasive racial bias in policing". I maintain that it is absolutely possible, and seems likely given the data we have here, but definitely not proven.
This website is full of useful information, but after reading a few articles, I have to say: boy is this guy's writing annoying.
So does iOS.
The most aggressive looking police I've ever seen were in Frankfurt airport, looking for terrorists, a decade before 9/11. Openly carrying machine guns. Never saw that in a us airport until after 9/11. https://www.massport.com/massport/media/newsroom/logan-is-fi...

Don't take the above and think that i'm implying police in europe are more heavily armed on average.

Not so much collusion as concerns about whether they are really independent of the foreign national cofounder.
A checklist is precisely what inspectors use when verifying a rocket for launch. It is far and away the best system to ensure consistency and thoroughness.

It might be a poor checklist, but that's another story. I suspect there are good checklists you can download that you can use yourself and give to an inspector who is well meaning but inexperienced.

No list will fix dishonesty however. They can simply check off boxes.

I never even knew about the brand. The three that I looked at were Stromer, Bosch based systems and Klever. The Bosch based system won out because it doesn't use fancy one-off stuff, there is a fairly good source for spares (batteries, motors, controllers) and it seems to be the most reliable system on the market. The Stromers are a bit faster (higher powered motors), the Klever looks clunky and I've read a ton of stories about their reliability issues.

Isn’t the murder solve rate in Oakland, San Francisco, Chicago, etc well all below 50%. Either the murders are allowed or the methods are failing.

Imo the only real reason we even see murder rates falling are due to cell phones. People can call for help and survive more. That’s why we see so many people shot, but fewer murders than the 90s. Violence is up.
That's self-evidently untrue. The properties that make a circle would be true regardless of whether a human ever set eyes on a perfect circle.

The facts definitely matter and it will need to be disclosed when you renew your green card but generally - very generally - an arrest without a conviction doesn't impact a renewal (although it could impact an application for citizenship).
> Due to the massive redundancy and waste involved, the entire EVM performs less useful computation than one of AWS's smallest EC2 instance types; less than a current Raspberry Pi attached to a 100 gig SSD.

Ok, yes, that's fair. That doesn't totally negate the analogy, though. It just shows that it's a potentially inferior solution.

I think what the parent was getting at is the whole "cloud == someone else's computer" trope. Without knowing more details about the computer you're using to post on HN it's impossible to know but I think it's pretty likely you own the computer you're currently using. You wouldn't be using your employer's computer for non-work purposes, right? ;)

My company has been struggling to process visas through their immigration vendor, based on my experience I don't trust the vendor they use, as they won't even check the spelling of your name.

In addition to performance, I also ran into weird bugs with the Docker Desktop vm. The VM would run out of disk, and other things that would not occur with a native docker.
I have never experienced that and never heard of anyone else experiencing that. I have often disengaged Autopilot accidentally due to the limited forced required. And for the record, I also don't have FSD because I don't trust it.

Are you sure you couldn't overpower it or were you subconsciously holding back because you were worried about jerking the wheel too hard and how that would impact the vehicle? If you have ever driven a car without power steering, there is a surprising amount of force required to actually steer a vehicle mechanically, but it is something every driver used to do so it shouldn't be that difficult even in the worst situations when the power steering is refusing to cooperate.

It's got large diameter hydraulic disc brakes, there clearly is a bit of a difference with the added battery weight but it stops just fine (still way faster than my 10 speed with rim brakes in spite of the much higher bike weight). The fat tires (2 1/4") also really help with that.

Hi Peter, thanks for taking the time to do this.

My question is similar to the one from @sunir. I'm a UK resident and am going through the process of starting up a US-based company with a US co-founder.

I plan to travel in to the US for periods of time to meet with my co-founder and attend trade shows (likely being in the country anywhere from a few days to a week or two).

Is there any reason why I shouldn't be able to do this under the normal Visa Waiver Program which the UK participates in? Is there a scenario where I should be planning for something like a B-1 Visa?

Finally, is there an online resource you'd recommend (other than the normal government websites) which outlines these options and things to consider regarding this type of travel?

Many thanks!
My wife just bought an ebike (from RadPower) that has both pedal assist and a throttle that doesn't require pedaling. You can also adjust the amount of pedal assist so you can "feather pedal".

While I found the way you stated it objectionable, the real catch-22 here is that while disadvantaged groups are more likely to commit crimes, _they're also way more likely to be the victims of crimes_

This is a hard fact to approach with justice in mind, and troubles a lot of the US discourse on crime and policing.

Yes, if non-white-collar crime is policed effectively, it disproportionately affects people from underprivileged backgrounds. However it also disproportionately benefits those in the same sociological group.

The real win would be successful rehabilitation and less lethal policing, in my opinion.
has anyone here used decoded.legal? They do appear from time to time in articles on theregister. Would be tempted to try their services at some point.

"Then they get dragged through Linux's rough new user experience."

What distros do you feel have a poor experience for new Linux users?

Arch, Gentoo, etc -- yeah those are terrible recommendations for "I want to use Linux for the first time."

The first Linux distro I installed, I was 14 and had grown up on Windows XP + Vista. I went with Linux Mint and it felt like Windows (the UX).

And that was a decade ago. Things were so much worse + more difficult on Linux then too.

You have distros now like ElementaryOS that are made to mimic OSx, which is about as "I dunno computers" as you can get.

And Ubuntu or any derivative like PopOS are also friendly and great first experiences.

This is all opinion of course.

The biggest issue I have with getting more than 20 miles out of my e-bike is the controller. The manufacturer of the controller set it to shut off when the battery pack hits 42v. (using a 52v pack) Sucks pushing a bike up a hill when you know you still have ~15% capacity remaining.
The white-threat was not what scared to Lenin and Stalin.

It was every other type of socialism and communism. Social democrats, Democratic socialists, Anarchists, Syndicalists, Trotskyists, ... When Soviet Union took over, they hunted and killed other socialists first. Or tried to assassinate them beforehand.

People, especially those who live in North America have no idea how big and irreconcilable the differences within the left were. Saying that someone is a socialist don't really convey that much information.
There has been some work towards that - things did get cheaper in 14.

Note that you very well might still want a separately run pooler for some workloads - having local poolers on application servers can be good for latency.

If a video gets lots of views because of some other signal that isn't "this looks like a fun game", it's not too difficult to see that? The comments on YouTube or Reddit will be: 'look at this bug', or 'this game is ripping off X', or some culture war thing. I can think of a examples in the last couple of years of each those.

But, it's harder to imagine how Steam wishlist counts lead to totally distorted accounts. Unless someone is botting your Steam store page and the wishlisters don't exist, they're all still potential customers, and 5,000 wishlisters means something and 50,000 wishlisters means something.

There's lots of conversation about 'quality' of Steam wishlisters between developers. For example, Steam Fest is an event that Steam runs every now and then with game demos and there's very prominent 'wishlist this game' buttons. It's generally accepted that these wishlisters are 'worth less' than if they come from YouTube or PCGamer or even other sources upon Steam. So if 90% of your wishlist count comes through Steam Fests, yeah, you probably do have a distorted metric to work with. But no, I haven't experienced this myself.
You seem to not really grasp the context here. When people say that cryptocurrencies (specifically Ethereum here) are trustless, they don't mean that cryptocurrencies turn the entire world trustless, they are referring to that the medium of transfer is trustless. Just like a SSL certificate doesn't mean the seller won't run away with your money without delivering anything, trustless cryptocurrency doesn't mean that either.

What is trustless is the verification of transfers. Previously, entities had to come together in meatspace and agree how a transfer happen. Now, entities that have no idea about the other entities on the network, can send money between them without having to trust the network, as the network is incentivized to behave well.

Again, all the problems you listed have nothing to do with "trustless" cryptocurrencies, but everything to do with humans. Cryptocurrencies don't try to solve those problems, and wouldn't be able to either.
The other examples he gave trade off significant math deficiencies for small speed gains. But flushing subnormals to zero can produce a MASSIVE speed gain. Like 1000x. And including subnormals isn't necessarily good floating point practice -- they were rather controversial during the development of IEEE 754 as I understand it. The tradeoff here is markedly different than in the other cases.
Where I work (US Department of Defense), we depend on PowerPoint more than anything. We recently got O365 which includes the PowerPoint web application, but the web application is still very weak compared to the desktop application. Anything beyond editing some text on a slide, or creating a very simple (mostly text) slide, in the web application is just horrible if not impossible. This is really a shame, because the ability for multiple people to open a PowerPoint file in O365 and do simultaneous editing is an amazing leap forward. Version control has always been a problem for us as we endlessly email PowerPoint files back and forth, or store them on SharePoint or simple file servers.

I've mostly used LibreOffice (and OpenOffice before that) on my personal machine at home, but I wouldn't dare depend on it to handle the complex PowerPoint files that we pass around at work.

Edited to add: I guess we equally depend on fillable PDFs (often digitally signed with our smart cards). For that, I gave up on trying to find a good native solution in Linux after Adobe stopped making Acrobat Reader available in 2013.
I think you both can be correct. The more expensive e-bikes as sold in the EU are DRM'd to the hilt, whereas cheaper bikes sold elsewhere or assembled from kits won't have any restrictions. On reddit/r/ebikes you can see some crazy builds that would get you a hefty fine in most of Europe.

There is a reason that my issue with the essay is presented as one that maps to rhetorical phenomena similar to the one specifically in question. It's because the central issue is the repetition - the ubiquity - of Capitalism and Western imperialism's apparent innocence in regards to suffering in the world that it largely shaped. No story that perpetuates this falsehood can be called beautiful; it can't be called truth, or even helpful. Every story like this recreates it's own cruel circumstances for posterity. And to say so is the opposite of tunnel vision; it's to acknowledge on multiple levels that meaning is half-formed without consideration of context, even if that context damns one's sentiments.
