I maintain Heimdal[0]'s ASN.1 compiler[1], though I didn't create it. It's a pleasure. It, and the IETF, have taught me a few things:

- there's nothing really wrong with ASN.1 as a syntax except maybe it's ugly

- there's nothing wrong at all with ASN.1's semantics

- there's a TON wrong with the BER family of encoding rules (BER, DER, and CER), and with every tag-length-value scheme

- you can create ASN.1 encoding rules for anything you like, which really means "use ASN.1 as the schema language for whatever encoding I prefer"

- indeed, there's XER (XML encoding rules), JER (JSON encoding rules), GSER (generic string encoding rules) -- all text-based -- and a bunch of binary encodings with at least two that are not tag-length-value (and so resemble NDR and XDR), like PER and OER

- people love to hate ASN.1, mainly because BER/DER/CER deserve the hatred, and for less legitimate reasons too, so they go off and invent new wheels that often have the same problems -- oh well!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_police

Railroads emerged at a time when the only significant national law-enforcement entity would have been the military or US Marshall's service. (There were some customs and coast guard operations, also the postal police dating to 1772, before the United States declared their independence from England.)

Railroads operated across town or city, county, and state boundaries. They had a highly distinctive geography --- the linear alignment of tracks. And multi-jurisdictional law enforcement with competing interests would have been (and remains) problematic.

So railroads provided (or contracted, often through the infamous Pinkerton Agency) their own security serivce. Many railroad police have full law-enforcement police and arrest powers.

Note that there are other businesses and operations with some similar capabilities. A ship's captain traditionally had extraordinary powers when at sea, many hotels have or had house detectives, the US Postal Service as noted has its inspector service, and US Marshalls provide security aboard aircraft, though with partial coverage. Their presence and function received heightened awareness after the 9/11 attacks of 2001.
I disagree. If you prevent this one, some people will stop, whilst others will just find something else to steal elsewhere. It's like a big game of wack-a-mole.

I'd much rather we arrest them so they can be rehabilitated or helped. Which is a separate discussion, but there have to be consequences. Sometimes it's too late to help them and we just need to stem the damage they do to society and other people that are innocent.
I've argued for some time that "solving" central planning is equivalent to solving the halting problem, because people can react to everything the planners do in ways that intentionally or not counteracts the plans in various ways.

Cybernetics can improve on that somewhat by changing static plans into dynamic sets of rules for how to react, but the need to respond dynamically is pretty much inescapable and then it would seem better to lean into that.
>The rest is theory...

It's a hypothetical, I'm not intent on stating anything as fact.

>Look at the victims of the Catholic Church and other well-known situations.

Part of what I conjectured was that the system itself is potentially traumatic. And that (naive) interventions might hypothetically be damaging. Again, one is potentially braving a number of institutions, not just family, but police, case workers, mental health professionals. Not to mention in the case of familial abuse considerable transitions, up to foster care, itself from what I've heard is frequented by pederasts. Perhaps a window for a form of gaslighting, wherein the victim is induced to believe they're traumatized.

That is to say, that any well-known case, perhaps especially well-known cases would be outside the scope.
But Zuckerberg hasn't done any of them. It's like ascribing Newton's accomplishments to the royal in power when he was alive
The police are already ridiculously well-funded (on average, there are exceptions). Look at their budgets and start asking "where the hell does the money go?"

They don't need more money. They need to be held accountable.
Awesome news.

Sadly though, it is yet another non ECC RAM board.

IMO they'd have had a USP, had they made it ECC.
I would expect this kind of pictures from a third world country...

How come no one is incentivized to fix this - protect the trains, prevent this loss of property? Who pays for the stolen goods? I presume it would be the retailers, is it just a drop in the ocean for them?

In some more dystopian movies there were trains crossing vast areas of postapocalyptic hellscape protected by soldiers with machine guns and flamethrowers. In these pictures, the "responsible" just gave up. I find that simiarly dystopic.
Thanks for that. We have railroad police here in Australia as well, however it's all state government sponsored, I just hadn't heard of private enterprise funding police before.
In practice, you should typically only send write traffic to 1 galera node, and only fall back to "multi-master" for a split-second when promoting another galera node as the new writer node, either due to scheduled maintenance or unexpected downtime on the old writer node. This setup works great when being fronted by a fleet of stateless proxysql nodes. The whole DBA team can sleep well, without having to worry about whether the automated failover logic would actually work or not.

Also note that galera is just a set of API (https://github.com/codership/wsrep-API), which can be implemented against other databases to bring the same replication capability.

That is a function of being single, young, and naive, not of location. Once you grow up, you realize that working long hours on someone else's dream while your family needs you is idiotic.
The agency with jurisdiction here appears to be a private police force: the Union Pacific Police (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Pacific_Police_Departmen...).

So their resourcing wouldn't take into account wider societal benefits from lower crime - it'd be more about the direct costs and benefits to the business.
l might be wrong,but it almost sounds like you're saying there's no room for middle aged people to switch to coding later in life. There can be many reasons people switch, not necessarily related to a crisis or monetary incentives. We need more coders, so why not let people learn.
I imagine this will get sorted since Buffett both invests in Union Pacific and provides insurance. He famously doesn't get involved in the companies in which he invests, but I imagine his people could shoot over a question like, "why is this happening?"

Police are focusing all of their efforts elsewhere. They don't care about property crime like this. Also, as pointed out elsewhere on the thread, policing the tracks is the responsibility of the railroad company, not LAPD.
> Which works democratically, there's people in Ukraine who will support Russia and people who will support "the west"
The point is also that it's borders are badly drawn, there's an air of civil war to this conflict within Ukraine

Absolutely. And a civil war (which you can argue has been a thing for many years now) is a tragedy. But of course - and this is the whole point - no one crosses a sovereign nations borders to aid a side in a civil war, without a UN resolution to do so.
And Russia not only actively supports separatists in eastern ukraine, it also more or less started this conflict AND annexed Crimea.
It’s not the LAPD’s role to get involved with this, but instead this responsibility falls upon special agents dedicated to these train lines. Their HQ is in Omaha Nebraska.
On the upside, Amazon is normally pretty happy to accept returns. They have set the bar so high in how easy it is to return just about everything.

Perhaps surprisingly, the police force with jurisdiction here appears to be a private one, not a government agency.
The article is highly misleading. Emergent gameplay is a key component but not the only component of roguelikes. There's already a term for what the article proposes. It's called systemic games. See this talk by Aleissia Laidacker [1] and also this fantastic GMTK video on systemic games [2].

Apparently this is under the jurisdiction of the railroad police, not LAPD. Not clear to me what jurisdiction that falls under but sounds like it might be federal.

Yeah the parent comment is trying to make college very cut and dry as a bad choice. That’s not true and removes the complicated aspect: college is still a very very good choice for most, and yet it’s horribly overpriced. Besides if you read the article, it’s not like kids are making hyper rational decisions about their future earning potential. They just want to avoid online classes and got hooked on making cash.
LAPD funding went _up_ 12% during and after the George Floyd protests (The highest it's ever been! The highest in the country per capita!). In fact, LASD/public schools got a cut in funding to help fund the LAPD budget. Granted, per the article, LAPD doesn't service freight rail lines, maybe because they'd say they'd be stretched too thin – and to be fair, 800+ of them are on leave for COVID, and falsely blaming it on defunding (which is corroborated by LAPD's own PR department, saying the statements put out should not have been).

Do you think the police in the jurisdiction where these train thefts occurred was underfunded? I’d be thrilled to hear your solution…
I think putting the criminals in prisons for a long time, and the threat of the criminals being caught, is already a good way to prevent thefts.
Fortunately, medicines shipped by specialty / remote pharmacies typically don't often go by train, as they need relatively climate controlled environments (above freezing, under a certain amount, etc).

There's no reason there wouldn't be domestic counterfeit goods, and quality has more to do with what people are willing to pay. True, Chinese goods tend to be low quality because they're made in China so they can be as cheap as possible, but Apple also has a lot of production there, they just use reputable vendors.

I'm pretty sure Buffett's company, which invests in both Union Pacific and insurance, is incentivized to resolve this.

This photojournalist probably just helped him make a bunch of money by identifying a prime location for an ongoing problem. The fact that we saw it before UP did doesn't mean they aren't incentivized to stop it. It's obviously bad business if their deliveries are missing packages.

I suppose I can't really say, it's something that happened decades ago. Like heartbreak of high school, it's sort of faded away into emotional oblivion, though it never really excited me. I'd say I can pretty readily identify thoughts and feeling of the events, recollect the environment, the people, but being they were so long ago there's no realistic way for me to verify.
Dude, I literally live in the Bay Area. And crime here is no where even close to bad as it was where I used to live in Texas. It’s all relative. Especially when politics is involved.

I see absolutely no reason to believe that raising police budgets would somehow magically fix this. It wouldn’t. We have deeper societal issues at hand.

Science does not produce knowledge. Science tries to attach a model for people to reason about what we observe. Its like solving x1 + x2+ ...+ xn= 10, where we dont the extent of what x values can be, or even what operations are being used, all we can observe is the result: 10. Science is saying it could be n=2 and x1 is 3 and x2 is 7.

That isn't knowledge, we as a species can never actually know anything, since that's saying that some things can never be proved wrong, which goes against the philosophy of science.

Fact is the enemy of truth, knowledge the enemy of science.
Ok. So AI is magic and we, as a society don't understand it, and it is used in science. Is there anything else in the article? Cause I don't see it.

Science is the process by which we reject verifiably incorrect ideas of the world. There are a lot of USEFUL tools on this planet which do not fall under that umbrella, and there have always been. AI is just the latest one we have.

Are we going to say that any sort of spiritual practice (which can be seen as form of unscientific therapy that can provide value to people) is "post-theory science"?

Are we going to say that a thousand year old medicine which did not understand placebo effects is "post-theory science"?

Are we going to say that when people meditate to understand how they feel, and then they can't accurately explain the biochemical processes is "post-theory science"?

Just because we can come up with very big functions which can approximate complex data (AI) means nothing about how we use them to understand the world.

The world has always had non-scientific tools to complement science. And always will have. Science always took longer to catch up. Over time some have become obsolete, because science figured out how to explain what they did. Some have not.

Gimmeh a break, there's nothing new here, science ends when we prove things are unknowable. Not when magicians, AIs and humans think other tools perform better.
Wait... Why is all that timekeeping stuff "dumb"? Because you don't see a reason for it, and you can't imagine that you might not yet know the reason why? That's just plain egotistical, man.

I don't quite understand your point. Could you elaborate further? What do you mean by leaning into the dynamism?
It's still a consequence of general lack of policing or soft policing. Whether this is LAPDs responsibility or not, the overall society and its view on crime like this is a huge component to this occurring. We can't have nice things if people are just going around and stealing because "hey it doesn't hurt anyone".
I personally always start with the word OUIJA.

From there it's simple to rotate if any of the vowels get picked up into words with common non-vowels like S and T etc.

If no vowel appears out of OUIA, I always go for a word like STREP.

Becomes relatively trivial from there.

Today (01/13/2022) the word was ABBEY.

I'll represent GREEN squares with * and GREY squares with ^

It went as follows:

OUIJA^
B^E^A^ST
FA^B*LE^
ABBEY

After FABLE, the first word I could think of that had at least 1 A, at least 1 B, and at least one E was ABBEY.

I am talking in general, not specifically about LAPD. There seems to be a rude awakening, where I live: https://www.npr.org/2021/12/11/1063408465/oakland-city-counc...

> The city council voted last summer to redirect money proposed for Oakland's Police Department to social services. But this week, defund the police became refund to the police. The same city council approved two new police academies and voted to hire a professional recruiter to attract officers to its department after a wave of resignations.
We have them at colleges too. Sometimes you want full time real police who can send people to jail. I guess it depends on the environment and scale of crime to determine whether it's needed. If it is, then it may make sense to have the impacted business pay for it. Otherwise the city might not be able to commit enough resources.
At the risk of oversimplifying this, why don't you just stick your phone in a drawer when you get home?

I do that (and when possible, put it in another room entirely) when I want to get some focused work done. Same goes for when it's bedtime, which has done good things for my sleep quality.

> Assuming we're talking about a happy family with two eager parents, what is helped by investigating the child's genetic "paternity," when the father is right there holding the baby?

Because the real father did not get to enjoy his rights as a parent? Because the child did not get to enjoy their rights with their biological parent?

Seriously, paternity fraud has three victims: The unknowing father, the biological father and the child.

Asking to keep the crime secret because the perpetrator might get uncomfortable questions is not reasonable when their are multiple victims plus the potential for medical mishaps for one of the victims.

I'm struggling to understand the vitriol toward this. It is a thoughtfully-crafted license, eminently readable, written by a skilled legal practitioner in this domain.

That's all well and good. It's still a proprietary license that rejects the most basic principle of open source, which is the ability of anyone to use and modify the software. And there's nothing wrong with that, but it's silly to expect FOSS advocates to embrace it.

> You're more likely to develop myocarditis from COVID than from the vaccine

Do we know this yet for omicron?
It does not seem to be mentioned here. But, my #1 hardening suggestion is install the Tripwire IDS (Intrusion Detection System). It is probably the best thing you could ever do for yourself as a system administrator. It integrity checks the entire file system. If anything happens to your system that you didn't authorize you're notified of it immediately. After initial install it is important to minimize and exclude false positives so that you end up with a system that rarely changes in ways you don't expect or can at least explain.

Another really useful tool is logwatch.

I actually caught an intruder this way hijacking my system several years ago. They removed rkhunter, chkrootkit and a variety of log files. And, modified lines in the last logged in users log. But, a combination of logwatch and tripwire caught it.
