Federal programs transfer this equipment to police force for free other than like shipping and ongoing maintenance(1). Easy for ARs since they already have the gun lube. Harder for the Armored Personel Carrier so that is usually found parked in front of HQ just for show like an old WWII tank. SWATTING is extremely rare and unlikely to ever happen to you or anyone you personally know. Meanwhile there's been plenty of cases that have demonstrated the need for police to have access to weaponry, like the north hollywood shootout(2).

> The Tsar Bomba was the practical limit for what could be dropped by an airplane.

The design was for 100MT. Tsar Bomba was a reduced yield variant where some of uranium was replaced by lead to reduce the yield to 50MT. The 100MT variant had the same weight and dimensions and was deliverable by the same airplane.
They don't have to know. They just assume and kill everyone before they have a chance to defend themselves. From their point of view, it's simple and neat. Remember it's always them surprising their victims, not the other way around.

This wouldn't happen with proper adblockers. Also, if a user or a malicious script has permission to install extensions, I assume it would also have permission to toggle "enable extensions" setting.
Are you sure they won't be prosecuted? The point of requiring bail is to make sure they show up for court appearances, isn't it?
only hire people for easily commoditized tasks (work that's done frequently and where requirements are similar from project to project) In any other case the friction of finding the person who can do a good job is not worth it.
No police defunding has actually happened though, so I'm fairly confident that that doesn't explain the increase in violent crime, much less the DECREASE in property crime [0].

The Turn
'Defund' is far more inflammatory than alternative phrasing.

RE-form the Police -- this is a movement I can more readily support and I hope is self descriptive and accurate. Police departments have become alienated from communities because they are no longer about the mission to protect and serve the common people and the commons; they have instead become yet another type of organization using violence for control. The videogame Crackdown got that right many years ago.

As horrid as the Japanese justice system is about the presumption of guilt; their practice of neighborhood officers and community involvement seem like positive traits that should be copied in the USA and elsewhere as one facet of improving the positive interaction of peace officers and the community.
It's not the de-funding or firing of police causing this.

It's the general announcement that everyone is on-board with de-funding the police that is causing it. You tell everyone that the police are not needed? What do you think the crime prone are going to react with? More crime.
It's obviously another unkillable deterrent weapon, similar to submarine ICMBs, Perimeter, etc.
Not devoid, but lower prevalence with tighter restrictions. Quite a few have moved out over the years, or chosen not to move there in the first place.

For example, approximately 1 in 10 adults in PA have a license to carry a firearm. Compared to about 70k CA CCW in a population of about 39M people (didn't find adults only). CA also mandates that guns be stored locked up and unloaded when not on their person. This can prevent some of the safes or lock boxes designed for rapid deployment.
I think they were just saying they see more people talking about it, not vouching for one side or the other.

Issues with software controlling communications isn't the same as issues sending communications.

If you're telling me there are ships running in the defence force that can't actually communicate with other people at the drop of a hat, at all times, then how is that even possible? That requires some serious negligence.

In a lot of instances, if the system fails, the plane falls out of the sky, so I am pretty sure we're doing that well.

For b) I don't see anything in the ipxe documentation about a ramdisk? All the booting examples I've seen are using a kernel and initrd or modules etc. This is inconvenient if you just want to support booting from released disk images, because you've got to extract the files from the isos and there's no standard.

Worse, if the setup expected to mount the image once the kernel booted, that's not simple either.
As always when anything about Tailwind gets posted on HN… 200 comments so far and (almost) not a single one about the actual blog post.

Looking at the new features, I wondered why they went with a major version bump, but seems like it's because the Just-in-Time engine released in Mars as a feature flag is now the default engine, which is a pretty big change by itself.
> I think it's more an economic incentive for digital creators

I don't understand. NFTs are not hooked up to the legal system of copyright, so how is it ensured that the "digital creators" are the ones that are rewarded? If you create an amazing image, what is to stop me getting the original NFT (by doing something like mining it? sorry I'm not familiar with the terminology) before you do and selling that on without rewarding you? Or, even if you did make the NFT first, what's to stop me altering one pixel or some irrelevant metadata of the image to allow a district NFT being created and selling that instead?

Another commenter said that NFTs are (sometimes? usually? always?) not even derived from the work itself but simply some URL that points at it. That crazy! What's to stop me making another URL for the same work (either hosting it separately or just redirecting to your URL) and making an NFT for that? What if my hosted version outlives yours? The whole idea is so totally ludicrous that I don't see how it's gotten this far.

Unless there's something huge I'm missing (which I'll admit is possible), it's obvious that NFTs are totally useless for this goal of rewarding digital creators. Traditional copyright, while flawed, at least makes an attempt at rewarding the creator of the actual work.
That definitely does feel a bit better to me. I'll need to check it out in a language I've been writing more recently. Thanks!
Threatening to defund the police generally lowers the quality of your existing police. Pretend you run a business and say you are cutting salaries. Employees will look for other jobs or just be demotivated in general. Couple that with an increasing hostile work environment, you have the situation at hand.

Do you work as hard when you know management is gunning for your job?
I would say be extremely careful with the model that you purchase. I purchased the new E15 Gen 3 AMD model (I know, my mistake) and running Linux on it has been pure hell.

I installed Ubuntu 16.04 initially and half of the drivers did not load. Every time I installed a new driver another cog stopped working. It was a mess to get Bluetooth working, WiFi just wouldn't work and my display driver straight up wouldn't work. After a week of getting stuck in this tangled mess, I decided to move to 18.04 assuming that drivers would be available on a later version of an LTS distribution. I was partialy right, I managed to get the WiFi and Bluetooth working but the god damn display drivers just won't load. This means I cannot suspend my PC, adjust brightness or connect to an external monitor. I will sell you this machine but looks like you need linux as well.

So I have a decently speced hexa-core PC with a dream keyboard, great screen but cannot run Ubuntu which is what my job as a robotics engineer most need. Everytime I look at it I'm infuriated at my utter lack of due diligence. There's a guide on the Ubuntu website with a list of supported PCs. Refer to that before making a purchase. Its hellish, frustrating and heartbreaking otherwise.

"this summer was a huge crisis with drinkable water"

Why didn't you say that the crisis was created by spiteful Ukraine resenting that Crimean people are mostly pro-Russian?

Has Ukraine recognized that Crimeans are Russian citizens or is it punishing people that it still considers Ukrainian citizens?

"Russian government did nothing."

Not op. When the call for reform is "defund" and that seems like the wrong thing to do, then people don't support sensible reform. One would imagine that many if not most police officers support some kinds of sensible reform but probably hesitate to support "defunding" their wages and have their and their colleagues jobs cut, which is what "defund" really sounds like. It's a total us and them mentality which is not the way policing is supposed to be. In fact it's one of the things many people want reformed. Policing should be for us and us in our community with our consent as a population.
It's also all on one line which makes it harder to read than your example and massively bloats the HTML. I prefer readability over conciseness.

> defunding would not change their attitude?

It's almost like a job where you get to work in military cosplay and just intimidate and sometimes kill people you don't like without facing any consequences would attract people suitable for being a police officer. When you offer sociopath-candy, you attract sociopaths.
It is also worth noting that gun ranges periodically reclaim the lead by digging up their backdrops and recycling all of the spent bullets. The lead will not stay there forever.
> The suspects were quickly apprehended, but it turns out they were released on bail almost immediately afterwards.

Bail is given when someone hasn't had a court determine their guilt yet. Getting rid of bail means that innocent people will sit in jail until their trials.
> What exactly would police have done in any of these situations to prevent them from happening?

They would have arrested and imprisoned the perpetrators, who are more than likely to have long criminal histories, after their first offence. People don't often go from zero to armed home invasion.

> Progressives in the US want...

I'm not sure any of this will work if there's insufficient order as to prevent smash-and-grab robberies and shootings from being a daily occurence. I don't suppose these people are stealing to eat or pay for healthcare. Dollars are best spent incarcerating violent people a la Japan, rather than paying them and hoping they behave themselves. Living in a peaceful society is a right afforded only to those who remain nonviolent.

> iOS forcing apps to have an ipv6 backend

That‘s never been a requirement. What Apple does require is that apps correctly work over an IPv6-only network that uses NAT64/DNS64. Which means not hardcoding any IPv4 addresses and generally not expecting domains to exclusively return IPv4 addresses.

If police actually held their peers accountable, people wouldn't be rioting and this downward spiral would stop.
You get out of my head, this instant
The FBI also reported a lot of police forces have been infiltrated by white supremacists. One wonders where the violence comes from...
I think things are slowly moving in the right direction though, see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_v._Public.Resource.Org....
... with a sadly very stupid title. One that gets an instant angry reaction from "the other side" instead of a discussion. Even Obama says that much: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-defund-the-police-slogan/ . You even have to write this comment to explain "Actually, the idea behind those 3 words are..."

If I were in charge of naming the idea, I'd suggest something like "Get Rid of Thug Cops!". Focus on how cops are supposed to be part of society instead of prison guards. Focus on the fact that e.g. Western European police get multiple years of education.

Even the UK has a problem, since the lying thieving government has been squeezing budgets for the last decade, the police have been underfunded there and it's harder to do the "be a part of society" part of policing.

But it's incredible how a protest slogan has been morphed by "the other side" into "this is actually happening, and look at all the results", when, as many have said, no actual defunding is happening.
How many zillions of languages can be run client-side with Emscripten and WASM?

That isn't why - they're just optimizing the funnel and not caring if hackers think it's cool anymore.
> Can't all that be modelled with keys/signing?

Probably? I don't know. The problem is that it gets really complicated really fast. When someone adds a friend, how do you grant that new friend access to their older friends-only posts? How do you revoke that access, and access to any future posts, when they unfriend someone?

> Can you elaborate more on the risks around automated key management?

The biggest problem for my project in particular is that it requires the ability to run arbitrary code and reliably store valuable data on the client side. And client-side rendering. I can't quite do that. I have a requirement that everything must work in a regular web browser and JS is mostly optional.

And even ignoring that, question remains: how do you make sure the server doesn't have access to the key while the client does, while keeping the user experience sane?
> shipping and ongoing maintenance

Get it now and pay forever. Sounds like a sweet deal to the manufacturer.
> CSS modules still seem to solve every problem Tailwind solves, and better.

I don't understand Tailwind either; but I find myself struggling with CSS modules when I need to override a CSS rule of a child from a parent. Like, say, my button should always be green, except in this context I want it to be purple, its font-size larger and its padding a bit different. With CSS modules, the parent component is unaware of the class name of the child component; so it cannot target that. Perhaps this should all be done with CSS variables; but then hell, how many CSS variables should my components expose? and besides, I am not even sure even they will completely solve this.
> The polarization is mostly between those who trust mainstream media and those who don’t.

I don't think your statement is complete.

The polarisation is about truth. Is science true? Is what $Politician says true? Is $NewsReport true?

A common standard for honesty, education -- and maybe even decency -- seems to have disappeared.

The only real brake on some people's behaviour appears to be when they suffer socio-economic consequences. But being part of a large faction is an effective buffer.
Ugh, maybe some of them are. But Kapuścinski and Lem for sure are not.
Future donations need to come with anti-deplatfoming clauses.
Yeah, unless it's ice cream cake. I'm a sucker for that...
You convert a single point of truth to a set of the point of truth and a voting system. The current cryptographically signed model uses a single signing authority. I suppose you could argue for multiple independent signing but it begs the question how you arrived at what was to be signed. That's a process to a unitary decision.

Sorry, I don't see why inflation and pensions should be removed from police budgets and not from other budgets. I'm very uninformed about city budgeting but this feels a little "lies, damn lies, and statistics"-y to me. The change in proportional allocation is more convincing, but I'm too ignorant to understand the implications and nuances.
The only relevant comparison is manpower losses of the two sides, and every assault cost a lot more men to the attacker than the defender. The attacker has to have a massive concentration of manpower and numerical superiority.

If this were not true, no one would setup defences.
M1 tops SPEC2017 while giving you 15-20h of battery life. I'm not mentioning hardware specific accelerated tasks like Final Cut, if you throw that in it beats Xeons at a fraction of the price and power. It's just the best portable chip for regular, boring, standard Floats and Ints computation. There's really no competition yet.

Oh, and it's got crazy fast IO. And it's last year's architecture and process node. M2 with 4nm and A15 derived architecture should be another 20-30% faster at the same wattage.

The real question is the Mac Pro. What can and will Apple do when performance is the main focus? Will they just stick a bunch of M1s together (which wouldn't be bad) or are they able to crank single threaded performance a lot higher with more fans and watts to spare?
You don’t :).

To do it properly you want a maglev-style layer that allows for withdrawals/drains of application servers with minimal disruption thanks to a minimum disruption maglev-style hash and draining support. This will allow you to first drain the given application server (continue maintaining existing connections, but send new ones to a secondaries for that part shard) before fully taking down the instance.
I think we're simply an empire in decline. We stopped investing in ourselves a long time ago.

Economists say real growth and innovation stopped around 1971. Meanwhile the past 2 decades are defined by 9/11, the war on terror, the 2008 crash, the 2016 election, and most recently covid.

None of which we've fully recovered from.

All along this downward trend we've been searching for ways to rebound, but our options present new dilemmas. While our discoveries have enabled us to reap incredible rewards, we now also have many different ways to self extinguish.

Assuming we can avoid extinction, our options are fairly dystopic.

We could use the internet to better organize ourselves like China. But this comes at the cost of privacy, free speech, and many individual liberties.

We could use CRISPR and RNA breakthroughs to create a health revolution. But this is a slippery slope to eugenics.

Maybe general AI can be our savior? But self anointed prophets like Elon musk think otherwise.

We're at a crossroads where we can't decide on the path forward nor can we go back to the old ways. Society has implicitly decided that religion and capitalism have failed us, and are therefore not viable options.

Boomers continue to cannibalize new generations to enrich themselves. They have completely boxed out Gen X, not to mention millenials and Gen Z.

Meanwhile these are all just the societal issues. We still have to plan for the energy cliff and climate change.

In order to forecast our own decline, we can look to the UK which is still going through its "declining empire" phase. Overall they made out pretty well, things aren't perfect and they don't have the same influence as in their glory days, but they still enjoy plenty of 1st world benefits.

But one key difference that concerns me compared to the US is that the UK has a stronger sense of national identity.

The USA national identity has always been fragile, and I fear there's a good chance we tear ourselves apart on the way down.

History tells us these cycles are inevitable, but collapse isn't all the way to zero. We'll find a way as others have before us. It's simply our turn to learn to live with it.
I understand how transfers work, but is RIPE really planning to charge $50 per IP or more for transfers? What would they even do with the resulting billions in revenue?
The invisible hands do a pretty good job of matching. Any true market inefficiencies get discovered and fixed really quickly as it’s like a giant big bounty.

You have to do literally everything from scratch with Tailwind though, for example I never realised how much work is involved in a simple avatar dropdown / logout component (hidden full-screen button). Tailwind is much closer to raw CSS than Bootstrap. That's not a criticism, it's just a different value proposition.
I don't know; I thought "impairment of several network devices" was a pretty creative spin
