I always hate the freaking Thunder Sentence:

... blah blah blah blah blah. UNTIL NOW.

It's everywhere nowadays and it makes me wince every time I run into it. And for whatever reason it's especially annoying when I can feel it building up to it, like here which is basically the text book example.

Okay, with that off my chest, this technology seems on the surface pretty cool and I certainly hope it works out.
> the cost of steel shot is more than double the cost of lead shot for #3 shells (commonly used for waterfowl). For #00 shells (used for deer and medium game) it's more than three times as expensive.

That's surprising. In bulk, steel is a fraction of the cost of lead (usually, though at the moment the market seems a bit crazy). Is steel shot seen as a luxury product for hippies with money, or where does the difference come from?
What are the measures by which the US is doing better than continental Europe? What are some things the NYT was publishing but stopped publishing when they didn't fit the defeatist storyline?

I don't doubt that partisan propaganda spread as news is among the chief reasons the US is at war with itself right now, but you lose me when you pick the NYT as the chief culprit.
I'm not. I'm trying to separate anecdotes from evidence.
Why is it thin? There are several studies showing how policing reduces crime through a couple of measures.

Intuitively it would make sense that locking up criminals would reduce crime (making them unable to commit more crime), that increasing the chance of a criminal getting locked up would reduce crime (via incentives), and just seeing more police officers around would reduce crime.

I would be really surprised if for the past 1000 years, civilization was tricked into believing in a criminal justice system was necessary when in reality it wasn't.

Are there any studies where they dramatically reduced police presence and crime wasn't affected?
The JVM Programming Advent Calendar
Actual instances of police funding being reduced are so rare that the author reaches for incidents of low police-citizen interaction following controversial police-on-citizen violence as evidence of what a straw-man version of "defund the police" advocates for.

"Defund the police" has to be the most poorly conceived political slogan of all time. It sounds more like a pejorative its opponents came up with.
By DOM access I assume they mean that since background pages are pages, you can do things like use IMG and SCRIPT tags to load resources, and perhaps a CANVAS to rasterize images that you then serve to pages via an extension URL or something. I've done stuff like that before so I can imagine there being use cases for it, but it's kind of niche.

> What did I miss?

A cultural shift. We now have people getting mad about things that aren't happening and sharing this info as fact to anyone who will listen
i think it's worth pointing out giving the still semi-inflammatory nature of the headline, no serious advocate of defunding the police has ever suggested that simply doing that is the goal. the idea is to shift funding from cops walking around with guns killing people to things that actually prevent crime from happening, and as the piece points out, even in the few places that have actually reduced funding to police, that has not occurred in any significant way.

it's a resource allocation argument, not an 'everything would be better if police instantly winked out of existence' argument.
> Does the previous sentence upset you and make you want to point fingers at your opposing partisan group? If so, you may be part of the problem I am describing.

"Both sides" is neither courageous nor meaningful. It is simply ceding the field to the motivated and anointing them as the meaningful.

At what point will you stand up? At what point will you affix blame? At what point will you seek justice?

We know the answer. You will stay silent while millions die. We have been here before.

"We preferred to keep silent. We are certainly not without guilt/fault, and I ask myself again and again, what would have happened, if in the year 1933 or 1934—there must have been a possibility—14,000 Protestant pastors and all Protestant communities in Germany had defended the truth until their deaths? If we had said back then, it is not right when Hermann Göring simply puts 100,000 Communists in the concentration camps, in order to let them die. I can imagine that perhaps 30,000 to 40,000 Protestant Christians would have had their heads cut off, but I can also imagine that we would have rescued 30–40,000 million [sic] people, because that is what it is costing us now." -- Rev. Martin Niemöller

You can have the comfort of your "Both Sides"--just don't delude yourself that you will take action "at some point"--because you never will.
“That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.”
You can do reactive power with some batteries since they are all behind inverters that can be designed to do that. The Tesla grid batteries (the big ones, don't know about power walls) can certainly do it via API commands (you can specify real and reactive power components, and frequency control, I'm not sure if they can all 3 be run at once though). I'm not sure if all battery companies have this feature though. I used to control several dozen sites with Tesla batteries via their battery control API, though we never used reactive power or frequency control.

We still need storage solutions like this for long term storage, though, as batteries are mainly used for load shifting and short term arbitrage right now, at 6 hours of discharge and less.

IPv6 is no more difficult to understand than IPv4. In many ways it is easier since there are fewer legacy RFCs pertaining to it. System administrators don't understand it because they have not been forced to learn about it yet the same way they were forced to learn about IPv4.

Backwards compatibility would have made it far more complex.

If you sit down to look at IPv6 it's really quite straightforward. I think a lot of network admins are secretly hoping to retire before they have to learn a new technology though.
Sure. The civil war that would inevitably result from that almost certainly wouldn't result in 500,000 dead due to modern medicine. All of the people who died in the first civil war from things that we consider simple to treat now (like infections) would survive.

But I have a feeling that's not what you meant.
The scary part is gorhill is able to sell or hand over the extension - as he has done in the past - to someone with looser morals and/or goals.

How much do you think NSO Group would pay for this kind of access?

If you ran uBlock Origin, would you like to retire early?

Jbk from the VLC project has a lot of stories about turning down 6, 7 figure payments to bundle malware in VLC. Not everyone has the strong morals and unlimited stamina to withstand that.

Manifest V3 is created to solve a real problem. I have had browser extensions go rogue on me before (Stylish), and i would like it to not happen again. At the same time, uBlock Origin is a hugely important extension for making the web usable for hundreds of millions of people. A compromise must be found that moves their safety out of a single person's hands.
Sometimes I can find stuff in Vimeo that’s not available anywhere else. There was dailymotion, I don’t know about the state of it but back in the day it looked like it might have been a competitor to YouTube, too.
Alternatively, pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv for shell integration and seamless virtualenv activation.

To be fair, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with virtualenvwrapper, just that I've never used it and for my purposes the above solution works well.
I agree, tracking down a failed CI build that ends up being a cache problem is much more frustrating to me than waiting a little longer for the build.
Seattle crime statistics are misleading. It's been reported many times that since the police no longer even show up for shoplifting crimes, business owners no longer bother to report it.

Nobody knows what the crime rate actually is as a result. But the accountants at the retail stores know, and they're raising prices, installing armored doors, or simply leaving the city.

The local bank branch I patronize now sports an armed guard wearing body armor standing outside the door. It's only a block from the police station. Pretty sad.
Are you sure you don't want to hard code the original "uBlock" instead of the "Origin" fork while you are at it? It already had a perfectly fine hostile takeover in the past, no need to wait for a new one.
Are there any good comparisons on how much a dollar of policing vs a dollar of social programs deter crime?
Defunding the police, along with every other policy, applies well in some areas and poorly in others. When I was a kid, our town decided to defund the police, cutting the force from 3 to 1 officers IIRC. It made sense because there was no crime, and the townspeople didn't want to waste the money on police. All useful politics are local.
The people who support defunding the police have never felt genuine fear from being victimized by crime.

It's only after the crime, when you're thinking about how someone else had the hubris to threaten your life, thinking about how you could have died, or worse, if your loved ones had been with you, that they could have died, that you begin to wade yourself into a deep and abiding anger.

I used to feel sympathy for criminals. Especially seeing how many of them have led rough lives, having been raised by bad parents, in horrible environments, having been led by others to delinquency as youth, then into crime as adults.

However, once you have been victimized, this sympathy vanishes. It does not matter how bad you've had it -- violence is never justified. Any person who resorts to violence instantly loses all justification.

It is only the rich who can afford to stroke their moral ego in such an egregious manner. It is the poor and the middle class who pay with their lives for this sanctimony.
ah ty, sry for some reason my brain didnt parse the lowercase, then acronym being the same thing :(

a strange name though, how does a wizard going to a cinema reflect novices playing a pinball game?
The knee-jerk reaction of "defund the police" to the power abuses of police officers struck me as deeply weird from the beginning.

It made me wonder whether the right NOR the left had any clue left as what the role of a police force in a democracy was actually supposed to be — or whether that battle cry _really_ originated from the same forces trying to split the US society: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oct/14/russia-us-po...

Like, there would have been lots of great claims: "Train police", "Restructure Police", "Rebuild Police"... but what's a single good argument to "Defund Police" other than wanting to go back to anarchy?
You’re calling people uncreative farmers. Of course it’s insulting. But to someone who stays in one place for a long time, not because it feels good but because it’s what the world needs to keep turning, young job hopping engineers remind me of my kids, always wanting new legos.

It’s not about whether you’re a special creative snowflake, it’s about whether you have the disciple and emotional fortitude to keep working on something after the easy parts are done.

You get to decide that for yourself.
I can't speak for Oakland specifically. But when I see police departments with lots of fancy combat gear, but with minimal fitness standards and minimal training in things like unarmed combat, I can't help but feel like the people are not getting their tax money's worth.
postcss is literally how tailwind works. If you are using tailwind, you already have postcss. I get it, you don't like modern frameworks. Don't use it.
I thought violence is up almost everywhere in the US compared to previous years. It would be interesting to see whether this increase correlates with police funding or not. My bet would be no.
Thanks HashiCorp... it's nice to write lines like this less often:

Hospitals are frequently overwhelmed and operate at capacity limits basically constantly in large parts of the world
wouldn't that mean the cause of the increased crime is either criminals who are angry at the police so they commit more crimes or the police not working as hard (or a combination)
Not much. It's an opinion piece. Probably doesn't belong on HN.

The problem with nuclear UUVs is that they don't solve any tactical problems Russia actually has.

Want to nuke Jacksonville, Norfolk, New London, San Diego, and Puget Sound? Russia can already clobber them with enough ICBMs.

So... first strike? In which case the silos in the Great Plains launch on you, followed shortly thereafter by any SSBN on patrol.

It only makes sense as a defensive weapon. And while Russia is paranoid, I don't think they're strategically expecting the US to be able to neutralize their road/rail mobile forces and submarines and strategic bombers in a first strike.

In which case it only makes sense as a propaganda device. Good use of limited funding, there.
Maybe someday Verzion FiOS will support native v6. When I set up a Hurricane Electric tunnel over a decade ago I never thought I would still be using it in the 2020s.
I'd argue that that's in essence what NAT (especially CGNAT) does by abusing the 16 bit port number: extend the 32-bit assessing space to ~48 bits. And it pretty much works just fine for many many use cases.
My go-to for random code snippets has always been glot.io, mostly for the clean and immediate UI experience (no sign-in, etc)

If I'm going to use repl.it and jump through several pages to even get started, I might as well open an IDE instead.
It's more than an implication, it's a direct statement:

> As the surge in violence has become less theoretical to white, middle class residents, Oakland’s mayor has been afforded the political space to push to restore the funds that were cut from the police budget.
Cant help but feel this is secondlife2 instead of something new and amazing
Would it be similar to if I wrote an article saying I'm 10ft tall?
I dunno man, both me and my mom have been mugged before and the police didn't help. Same with when my car was broken into and someone tried to break my front door lock.

People make this argument all the time but I fail to see how the police have helped any time I've experienced any actual crime, not to mention so many others. That's not even getting into the politics of who can call the police and how the police react differently to situations, either.

Multi-cloud is a nice idea, but not for everyone.

Where i'm at it has been SQL Server for the last 12 years and now Azure for cloud services.

It's highly unlikely that will change for the next 10 years.

And almost equally unlikely that Terraform will be used instead of ARM templates and Bicep.
Is there an at home test to determine if anything you have contains lead?
Which template languages are supported? I wasn't able to find any information about that.
This question seems to always come up on Hacker News - figuring out how to even formulate the statement of theorems in theorem provers such as Lean is a massive research undertaking in itself, requiring much creativity and novel work. Let alone figuring out how to formulate the proofs. I’d recommend you have a look at some of the talks that Buzzard has given on this to understand the complications (both technical and social) and progress that has been made so far.
Even then, I would still recommend using the postcss extend tag. Much easier to read that way. Also, postcss doesn't require any frameworks, you can still do everything with plain ol' html and javascript.
> WebRequest API still does not support blocking requests (and still does support _recording_ requests)

The whole point is that there would be no reason to allow any ad blocking extension access to the WebRequest API anymore.

The replacement, declarativeNetRequest, does not require the user to give any permissions, so the days of granting ad blocking extensions full access to every page are gone.

If you think Google is doing this for their own gain, I guess you can simply ask if declarativeNetRequest will be able to block all Google ads, or if you really need a turing complete language for that.
To solve violent crime we just need to give citizens ability to protect themselves.

Try to rob me or hurt my family - be carried away in a body bag.

Yet that goes against some politicians narrative.
But those advancements were not used to improve quality of life substantially. Only with the dramatic decrease in population due to the black death did it become necessary to improve the output of the remaining workers. New tools became widespread, previously idle lands were improved, the population began consistently rising for the first time in 1000 years (a trend which has continued to today), and per capita GDP likewise began to rise above subsistence.
Remindes me one time one time a old person I sometimes help out got social engineered to enable desktop notifications for a website.

And as a non windows user it took me a while to realize that this notifications come from the browser as desktop notifications and disable them. Its still a riddle for me how chrome managed to make it both very obvious and very unclear at the same time that this are websites desktop notifications. (As a counter example I used some sites which used desktop notifications on FF/Andriod instead of making a app just because notifications, that I loved)
There is nothing of substance in this comment; its taken you two paragraphs to say "I think its a scam and I don't like it". Moralizing and vague threats make up the rest.
Crime is going up in cities all over the country, including those in red states that never had a sniff of "Defund the Police". I'm unconvinced that it's a direct contributor.
Not true.

If I buy a stock or a bond, I get the dividend payment regardless of when I get in. It doesn't require you to be early, just to accept what the current value proposition is.

You'll make more money if you time it right, but you get some intrinsic value from it even if no future investors ever come along.

Or more obviously, buying rental property. Cap rates change over time, but you always get some real return.

And "pump and dump" implies a coordinated scheme. Usually they'll create groups/networks and call for everybody to buy in. But they tend to frontrun the group. We can call that something other than Ponzi, but at the end of the day, the later buyers are paying off the earlier buyers, and it's zero sum.. the underlying relationship is the same
Deficits does not matter.
Doesnt have to be that way ... lots of spare cash going to defense dept. Why do we always have to find ways to pay for social well being but always got the cash for over priced guns?
Let me guess: the reason this company wouldn't let you install software or give you admin rights on your own workstations was for "security"?
This is one of many articles which are trying to suggest that we cut police budgets and then crime went up, but the first half of that never actually happened. Oakland's police budget is the highest it's ever been and was not cut in 2020. The article it links to as a source for police budgets being cut has the headline "Cities Say They Want to Defund the Police. Their Budgets Say Otherwise.", and shows that police budgets as a percentage of major city budgets slightly _increased_.
That Cream Cheese Shortage You Heard About? Cyberattacks Played a Part
You make an excellent point. Sometimes we use words out of habit. That is how she always refers to herself. Now that you bring it up and I have to consciously think about it, I wonder what the term really means in this context? Really, that she came from an un-Westernized part of the country and lived without the modern technology found in the cities at the time? That cannot be the whole story because I've heard her mention railways from her childhood.
> First, running exactly one open port per IP (443 or 80) is the worst use of resources. The whole "crisis" could be solved with simple browser support of something like SRV records.

TLS SNI[1] and the HTTP Host: header[2] already do this. Enabling multiple HTTP(s) serving ports with something like SRV wouldn't give us any additional capacity here.

And looking at Australia from the US, I see things like:

"From September 13, households living in the NSW government's LGAs of concern will be allowed to spend an additional hour of recreation outdoors, as long as all adults in the household are fully vaccinated. This is on top of the already-permitted hour of exercise, meaning households will be able to visit a park" [0]

and recoil in horror at how your country has become an authoritarian police state.

I believe that you don't search for the meaning of life, it finds you.

"Your personalized Meaning of Life" comes to you when you choose the path that makes you truly happy and loved. A hard lesson is realizing that money, fame, status are only transient feel happy moments.
I think you nailed it. The people patriotically spreading covid, attacking our system of government, preventing any action on climate change, and so forth don't actually think they're doing the right thing. They just feel so slighted and aggrieved, so disrespected, that they see harming their uppity neighbors as the greatest good. They are Ahab and the libs are their white whale.

The thing is, people don't respect you when you behave like that, when your ego is more important than their life. You can't make people respect you by hitting them. There's the tipping point right there.

Paying customer of Shuffle here, this is an answer to a different question. This is not what was asked.
The police departments can get 100 billion a year and it won't matter when the DA just lets criminals walk after they are arrested. I think that is one of the main factors in the rise of crime and violence. The Waukesha tragedy is a good example of this.
