Was this what you witnessed or what the BS explanation for the flagrantly racist anti-literacy policies were?

Thanks for your volunteering, but seriously, did you even spend more than a few minutes thinking about how ridiculous that reasoning is? Could be used to ban anything. Taking away books from prisoners isn't the solution to gang violence. Absurd.

This is just more crappy punitive American "justice", no different than the lack of AC in 75% of Texas prisons meant to torture inmates in the summer.

probably because doing this kind of stuff is fun when there are zero consequences. If you're a sociopath its probably even more fun because you don't need to feel bad about other people's lives being ruined.

Later BlackBerry phones had this. First on the BlackBerry Passport that ran BB10, and later on their Android phones (Priv, KeyOne, Key2). It works really well. You can throw predictions into place with an upward swipe, swipe down to open the symbols page, swipe left to delete a word, tap and pan to move the cursor, etc.
It was/is called the "1033 Program". Obama attempted to limit the program, not necessarily stop it. But, it didn't matter, because naturally, Trump reversed all that. And it's been a steady flow of military equipment to the cops ever since.

> It's not like evolution would select for something that is useless outside of helping cancer.

Cancers often have genetic basis so in a sense evolution has already selected for it in some people or at least not selected against it.

It won't exactly regrow teeth, but I swear by BioMin for enamel repair/protection. It's completely treated the sensitivity I'd had in a few teeth, and my teeth as a whole just generally feel stronger since I started using it in July.

I'm pretty sure I heard about it in an HN thread actually. It's not available OTC in the US just yet (except as a fluoride-free variant), but I've been buying it from a Canadian site with no issues: https://www.healthpulze.ca/collections/biomin-toothpaste
While we celebrate individuals, in my experience real work is done by teams of people, and there’s lots of research that shows heterogenous teams perform better than homogenous ones.

I’ve seen teams where a single toxic “rock star” destroys productivity, and I’ve been on teams of quiet, thoughtful individuals where we somehow become much more than the sum of our parts. And often excess self-confidence can become a barrier to accepting constructive criticism.
The problem isn't just a "desktop user" scheduler (in fact, I'm pretty sure that compiling the kernel with a 1000Hz tick might address that).

The problem is that the Linux GUI stack is largely corrupt beyond recovery:

- the UI is largely awful. Most distributions adopt GNOME or resort to writing their own DE if they want to achieve a particular UX end-to-end.

- the graphics stack is largely awful. X11 is bad, and Wayland is less bad but I want to see something that doesn't leave me wanting if it's the "end-all and be-all" of modernised UI stacks.

- the audio stack is bad. PulseAudio should be replaced, IMO, but Pipewire may fix this

- the graphics toolkits are bad. GTK still has the proverbial thumbnail picker missing, and QT has commercial licensing issues.

- packaging is a mess. There are at least 3 "new" packaging formats (AppImage, Flatpak, Snap), and countless traditional packaging formats. It's a nightmare for independent software vendors, who only need to produce 1 (maybe 2) binaries per any other platform.

- binary compatibility is capital-B BAD. Windows 10 can run GUI binaries compiled for Windows 95, and meanwhile Ubuntu 8.04 binaries will refuse to run on Ubuntu 20.04 unless they were statically compiled. "Don't break the userspace" begins and ends at the Linux kernel - literally everything above it, including core GUI libraries and the C runtime itself has broken old userspace usages.

The problem is not reworking a scheduler, it's reworking large parts of the desktop stack and the culture surrounding it. At this point, I'd surrender Linux to the servers and wait another 10 years for another OS to have its Year of the "X" Desktop.

They are not selling less units for a higher price, they are selling the same number of units for a higher price.
AppSync is a hell of a drug.
Prison operators turning a blind eye to guards openly selling contraband and cellphone access to prisoners is not only criminal but rampant. A federal prison in the southeastern U.S. recently transferred 90% of their inmates to other facilities and banned staff due to the incredible corruption there. And sorry, but teaching prisoners starts with the prisons funding teachers, not 'rewards.'
This is definitely true in the United States. No rehabilitation and trying to make money off them.
Does Q publish any of his work?
If there are only 10,000 graphic cards available to sell - what difference does it make if these end up in the hands of 10,000 rich gamers who can afford to buy them at market price - as opposed to 10,000 randomly selected gamers who won a lottery system?

The fundamental problem is that there are only 10,000 cards. If the PC gaming market is destroyed, it will be because there are not enough cards, not because they got distributed to the wrong gamers. You are focused on the wrong end of the problem.

(In fact, you could certainly argue that the PC gaming market will be better off overall if the limited supply of cards goes to rich gamers who are more likely to spend more money on games and keep the industry alive).
Localizers are a thing now.
true, way it goes with these things.

I dunno I saw something about 'Ghostferry' the piqued my interest, so shared it.
It is in fact about rehabilitation which is why the criminal justice system and prisons have rehabilitation and education programs.

"Corrections in America" is the name of the book and it discusses the history of criminal justice back to the earliest recorded times. As the original article is about a state run prison in America, it seems much more relevant than most of what is being discussed in this topic.

I was referring to your Reuters article. In respect to this guardian article, it says they did permit him but on terms he did not agree with. To expect to roam around freely as you wish within a prison seems like a ridiculous proposition and inherently presents a security risk to the institution.
FWIW this is how federal prison is as well. All books that don't come from manufacturers or authorized sellers (Amazon, etc.) are returned upon arrival.

> as little as 25 cents an hour for their labor, many can’t afford even that.

Try $0.80 per MONTH which is how much you make in federal prison in the basic jobs.

That's bad practice though. Devs should be comfortable having older (security patched) versions of software in repos, which provide a valuable service for users.

It's hostile for devs to push PPAs only, as it implies that their ability to push updates faster is more important than the distro's review process.
Your mailing cd example isn’t relevant nor did I mention it so I’m not sure why you are.

Again, your link doesn’t explain how something is deleted for everyone. Your link doesn’t say that it’s deleted, simply sent to another address.
If it was about identity verification, the process should certainly not be reversible for "moral" reasons. Rather, I would expect some notability cutoff as the requirement for the blue letter. As it stands now, the manner in which it is distributed better reflects if Twitter (the org) likes you. That it generally also verifies your identity is secondary.
AES-CBC for quick and dirty encryption can be a red flag: the scheme needs to include an encrypt-then-MAC phase or it'll be vulnerable to padding oracle attacks. I tried to do a quick scan of the code[1] to determine whether it does that, but I couldn't locate it, possibly because my PHP comprehension is terrible.

Quote from their website:

In our household we strive to have one dollar meals pretty often, which usually involves produce from our own garden, but I'm still amazed by this ratio.
Incredible. I guess the first use I thought of was swallowing the camera to identify bowel issues. Can’t wait to see what they come up with.
"employers stopped being loyal to their employees, so employees stopped being loyal back."

On what basis do you make this claim? It was always my understanding that it started with employees - because what changed was not that employees suddenly started working for multiple employers in the same field but that changing careers was the norm. I don't know how you point the finger at employers for that.
wonder if something like this can be used to facilitate human-bird communication
I want to generally remark that 'violence makes no sense'.

Basically, my best effort at resolving violence entirely capitalist-inhumanist (economic stick/carrot, culturally agnostic solution, allowing an individual to be hobo's, addicts, foreign diplomats, aliens or robots basically) leads to a strange capacity-assurance metagame.

Basically it ends up being pretty Cyberpunk 2077 by the example of their 'medical extraction teams'. There's something oddly desireable about that style; professional and expensive, highly capable performance orientation. And, by that example, enforcement operations are actually very similar.

That example also makes you realize very quickly that you're 'putting a gun in the first chapter' (it tends to be used later in the story).

How would a gang war be possible if both sides had:
- Health insurance (you pay my healthcare costs)
but also
- Prevention Bonds (if you do not prevent it, you forfeit your upfront)

Basically, a gang member is expect to potentially operate with a security company. The usual conflation of professional life or lifestyle is sort of removed with that - violence is worth money, but it's worth better money when it's legal violence. Prevents the idea that one's raison d'etre is their relationship with their gang. Similarly - a vested interest in issue prevention can be forced upon the entire circumstance. Machine Learning to validate the effectiveness.

Could be very fun once we have AI prevention mechanisms, to throw rocks at people and just watch them somehow not reach the target. Or, idk, have the 7G mast spazz your muscles out before you toss it or something. Getting the control mechanisms right is clearly important, and things like adapting a poison dart to a person for their allergies should be pushed directly by (tuneable) financial incentives.

Basically, could be made very unattractive 'overall financially' if things go badly with individuals. Regions of the US could be given higher taxes or 'forced commitment' to a qualifying group of enforcement organizations, if certain criteria are met. Basically - 'talking' to such communities' lack of harmonic practices through their pockets. Could end up as a forced reroll on any neighborhood that produces issues; it's often a consequence of not being in a good circumstantiality and it'd benefit a lot of these monkeys to just land elsewhere.

I'm positive this fiscal-first approach makes it 'right-wing' or something, but the appearance of a great deal of scalars for tuning the security circumstances through fiscalities strikes me as a left wing affect.
Also I reject your claim that lack of access to the latest and greatest GPUs is going to shred the PC gaming industry. Graphics are nice but they don't make a game fun. If people have to spend another year playing games with the settings turned down a bit, so what?
address jigging is too easy - - you can add random letters, append 'Blvd', or make up floors/rooms in the case of an actual house
Further, despite 2A advocates claiming it is there to defend against tyranny, the police do not actually fear violent repercussions after the fact because it pretty much never happens. (Of course they do fear attack in the moment, when they're instigating.)
Unqualified people fail upward, qualified people make mistakes, and some people are just crooked.

I wonder if the same folks banning books in prisons are the same folks that sell access licenses for trash pseudo-documentary tv shows in prison? You know the ones, they usually show you inmates using or trading dope or they'll show off some weapons. This is considered entertainment television programming.

I wouldn't be making appeals to others expertise without some skepticism, friend.

Again, though, most of the economic value of that is in the experience itself. The retailer reassures you with a warranty and you do avoid the small risk of painful emotions (humiliation/disappointment) should something go wrong with an informal transaction.

The short-term failure rate of second hand goods is nowhere near the 50% that would be needed to justify the price difference in terms of pure rational economic terms, especially given that most informal sellers are happy to guarantee that a product is working at the moment of sale.

Faster and more robust for the use case than wifi, I imagine. The wifi spec isn't really optimized for large-scale mesh networks, while this is precisely the use-case 5g was developed for.
It’s one thing for a “bad” gene to stick around for a few generations or even spread through a species. It’s wildly different for a “bad” gene to be shared by species who’s common ancestor was 60+ million years ago. On that timescale anything conserved is doing something useful.
MS doesn't need to monetise though. Especially a browser they only half wrote. Their tie-ins with O365 and Bing should be enough to finance it.

They have no excuse for some monetisation scheme as sleazy as this.

Mozilla is a different story. They don't sit on billions in the bank nor have other products that are basically monopolies just raking it in. They're legitimately strapped for cash. But still they don't stoop this low.

PS: I'm pretty outspoken against these schemes because I seen how they take advantage of those who are bad with money and draw them into a debt spiral.
For an app that exists solely on the client it’s easy to provide a md5 hash that can be verified.

Gab is great, under the radar it has been flying along and getting better and better. It has Milo and other banned characters that are worth the price of admission. It is surprisingly not toxic and not virtuous. Any off topic groups like meat eaters or homesteading or parenting etc are really good. For politics and realted things it definitely has a bent, but I'm ok with that. Eventually the left will get bored of their own creations and slowly spread out. A legit app store app would make it a legit competitor.

There are so many banned people. Paul Sperry. Alex Jones. Milo. Vox Day. Any one of these is worth joining for.
Yes, they really do cost less. In California, for example, state run prisons cost almost 3x per inmate than private prisons do. California recently banned private prisons, which will cost its budget $100M.

But, then again, California is not the best example here, as California cost per prisoner is way, way above national average (despite being below national average 30 years ago). California has pumped its cost per prisoner through the roof, which is then used to justify reduction of prison population, as too expensive. Either way, California is not known to care much for its fiduciary duty to its taxpayers.

In Arizona, private prisons are still cheaper, though the disparity there is only 1.25x, not 3x. Also, state prisons in Arizona are cheaper than private prisons in California. State prisons in California are 5x more expensive than private prisons in Arizona. If California contracted Arizona private prisons and shipped its prisoners there, it could save >$10B annually, more than 5% of its entire budget, which could then be used on schools, infrastructure, and public safety. Of course, this 80% reduction in prison spending will never happen, prisons being expensive is too politically convenient.
They didn't ban books. They banned books from random sources. Established retailers and other approved sources are not banned and there is a process for becoming approved. If you study corrections at all this is a very common policy and I'm surprised they did not have this already.
Speaking as an audience, it's the "completely wrong" and the "utterly backwards" that makes it seem hostile & personal rather than simply factual.

Germany does not like anything non-profit security related.

A few years back they raided a German host of the Riseup email service due to some alleged online threat [0]

They didn't just stop there, they also moved on to the nearby CCC maker space, for which they didn't even have a permit, and also raided that.

Among the things they found there was 3D printers, chemicals to feed said 3D printer, and a small 3D printed model of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb.

They confiscated all of that under the suspected offense of "trying to create an explosive device" [1]

Can't make this stuff up, reality is stranger than fiction.

It did not.

> because what changed was not that employees suddenly started working for multiple employers in the same field

That's wrong, that's exactly what happened (from the employee side, though it wasn't the start) first and most, though, and that remains more common than changing career fields (which, of course, happens, too.)
That's mentioned in the article

I would consider why someone is doing something. Try to put yourself in their shoes.

Would you post what time you worked out everyday? Would you post how many hours you worked today? Would you post how many calories you ate today? There is a reason why this isn't a common way for people to use the internet.
> the teacher's perception of the incident might have bias and prejudice.

I mean that's not entirely wrong either. Bullying was still a thing before zero tolerance policies.

Not to say zero tolerance policies are the right solution, but personal bias _is_ a big problem when it comes to enforcement.
> Surely the FBI is not allowed to publicise random dirt they find on innocent people?

If they're doing an investigation, they very likely got the employer involved in order to get more information on the person they're investigating, and companies have liaisons for law enforcement, as well. If the FBI comes knocking and says, "we think you've hired a terrorist," it's going to ruffle some feathers at the company no matter how unfounded or untruthful the claim is.

It isn't just the suspicion of terrorism that might have law enforcement or the FBI knocking at an employer's door. If someone is suspected of any type of cyber crime, the FBI will be coming for all of their computers and electronic devices, including the ones they use at work.
