> Why bother investing in more, if none of the arrests result in charges?

UP is not complaining that none of the arrests result in charges. (They are complaining that the DA is settling for plea deals to lesser charges than they would prefer and not trying to employ cash bail as pre-conviction punishment for disabling [by incarceration of those who can’t afford it] suspects and deterring potential future criminals instead of not using it when it is not necessary to secure appearance of a suspect legally presumed innocent.)

Also, it's well known that sufficiently visible security is a deterrent to crime, which is better than after-the-fact arrests, so an eruption in undeterred crime is evidence of a need for more and more visible security.
>Signed, Iraq war vet (it was more for Israels interests than ours!)

That would be odd way of serving the Israeli interest, as the actual Israeli government opposed the Iraq war and thought it would be bad for Israel:

How about if instead of a machine gun it just explodes when it gets close? Looks like we're back to missiles.
What does a single prosecution and court case cost? A few thousand dollars, at a minimum.

So you are saying any crime that causes less than a few thousand dollars worth of damage is not worth prosecuting?

How would you like it if I were to break in to your house through a window (a $1,000 expense) and steal your $2,500 MacBook Pro? The $3,500 in damages is less than the cost of identifying, arresting, prosecuting and punishing me. Not worth it - just let it go?

I'd say pretty much any live CD/DVD OS would break this claim
I've had 3 of 3 packages go missing in the last two months, all traveling via train through L.A. Either I'm rather unlucky or the thefts are rather thorough. I see some people complaining about their packages being stolen, but if the thefts are that thorough I would expect to see many more. My conspiracy brain can't help but imagine the possibility that discussion of this is being gently suppressed because business don't want people to stop buying things. I've had to stop buying things for now. I hope this is properly resolved soon.

I don't know what scares me more, the fact that all manufacturers might go down this path, or that our society might reward them for doing so.
I bought a miele dishwasher in 2013 or so, it ran fine for a while but I got an F24 error and it's a relay part.

I took the unit apart as we were in lock down and I didn't expect help to be easily available, and found the relay was in fact no longer a relay but an IC which got damp due to bad installation.

I think a proper relay would have taken better abuse rather than the IC part.

I sprayed it with MAF cleaner (for cars) and once it dried out it was working again. But I did feel a little uneasy recommending miele to friends and families since. little things I guess.

perhaps with chip shortage they'd go back to tried and tested 80s parts?
First of all safe deposit box, despite impressive security measures shown in movies, aren't all that secure. Google "safe deposit box news" for extra details. Even ignoring the LA issue where the FBI seized a bunch of safe deposit boxes, seems like just loss is pretty common.

Disks are not designed to be usable after 5-10 years of sitting on a shelf. Portable drives aren't particularly robust either, I've worked with many people with lost data on a USB attached drive. I'd use at LEAST two drives, ideally in two places if that's your only store for anything important.

I'd recommend using a cloud service (amazon.com/Amazon-Photos/, https://www.flickr.com/, https://photos.google.com/) or similar AND keep a local copy on a disk. Plan on replacing the disk every 5 years and paying whatever monthly/annual fees for enough photo storage. Include in your will full details on the online and offline access to the data. Sure it's a pain, sure there are costs involved, but it's not some insurmountable task. Much like your taxes, will, deeds for property, bank account info, etc. In all cases you want the original documents and pointers to the company/account.

Bitwarden (among others) handles designating a successor for accounts in the case of death, you can include username, password, and any encrypted volume info there.
I would expect bots to add random delays? They could even determine real player delay distributions and emulate that.

But really, my understanding is that these fancier treadmills map incline/speed/whatever data to the video file to make it “more realistic”. I think there may even be a sort of MMO/live ghost feature?

Personally I think I’d rather just have music I like and work out at a pace that’s comfortable for me, but to each their own I suppose.
Cameras provide evidence that is far more reliable and simpler to present than testimony from a railway security guard. This evidence could even be shared publicly to support their case.

TL;DR: the Russian investigators closed the case of Rambler Group against Nginx/T5 in 2020 "for the absence of a crime event". Another company co-owned by the same owner of Rambler Group started a case in the USA but it was dismissed by a court in California in 2021.

I'm interested in the neurological differences in the male and female brain as they relate to ASD. If we accept the findings in Ingalhalikar et al.[0] it seems to me like there is some explanatory power in the evident disproportion of occurrence of ASD in females. On one hand it appears the female connectome tends to favor a strategy of "indiscretion" whereas men do the opposite, instead relying on discrete processes. If we follow another study, they reason that the increased male variability in brain development may lead to susceptibility of certain disorders[1]. From the "purely neurological" pathology, is this something that might fit your findings? Where, if women aren't less susceptible then perhaps men are in terms of brain development?

And then we might consider the process of socialization as well, which I'd expect could lead to differing outcomes on the nose.

I don't know how extensive the issue is, or why it is, but I read a Wired article that indicated most pain medication studies focused exclusively on male subjects, and 96% did not compare differences between genders[2]. But also indicated differences in the way that pain is handled. If we extrapolate this into a trend, what else might we missing in the long run with such an oversight? Not to say that it is one, but if.

>What I don't understand is why they chose to redact the username part of the address for the fb.com emails, but chose to instead redact the host part of the address for the external recipients.

I think they understood the others worked at facebook, what needed to be redacted to protect their privacy is the name. For the external people, we know what their names are (some are govt officials which is why this is being FOIA'd) but not the domains, it would seem.
Monologue and Minilogue XD are solid synths :). Those would be fantastic "first" synths. Tatsuya Takahashi, and by extension, Korg, did a really good job with those.
The Israeli government and former government ministers also fund propaganda orgs on American soil, CAMERA and Hasbara Fellowships to name two. You could even say that every US election has been compromised by well-funded, successful foreign propaganda operations since at least 1982!
If it has moving parts and/or gets very hot and cools over and over again, I assume it will break within 5 years.

I buy my appliances from Costco with a Costco credit card because that means the appliance has a 4 year warranty. The price premium to buy equivalent commercial quality appliances with 5 year warranties is high enough that I would rather just get a new appliance and restart the 4 year clock.
UPs police force is not private security in the usual sense. Those in CA are California peace officers, and all of them are also specially federally empowered for interstate operations.

And this isn't new, major railroads have had these publicly-empowered police forces since the late 19th century.

Yeah, but playing poker for not real money is a very different game. Players have no incentive to not take huge risks, so it is a completely different game.
Lots of hypotheticals about the capabilities of missiles vs. jets and recently I found this YouTube page thats new that has videos of setting up simulations in Command: Modern Operations with surprisingly accurate (to my untrained eye) simulations for something you can get on Steam.

Good sci-fi is about humans, bad sci-fi is about technology.

You're right though, no fighter pilots in space and no stealth in space are two lessons the entertainment industry has been slow to learn.

The Expanse (which is amazing—go watch 3 eps) strikes a good balance: pilots work in tandem with ship software the fly; they're more like navigators with AI helmsman. And it looks like gunners are prioritizing targets for the ship's AI to shoot, not swinging the turrets around by hand like Skywalker & Solo in A New Hope.
Then change the funding of the law enforcement system so that it is supported by tax dollars rather than fines.

Then you can change enforcement priority as the offenders change priority.
That isn't what we are talking about. I don't recall any graffiti on personal, private property. Usually it's on highway overpasses, railcars, etc.
The Mathematics of Poker, by Chen & Ankenman - this one doesn't age because it's really fundamental if you want to understand things from the ground up. But it won't seem that practical at first.

Applications of No-Limit Hold 'em, by Matthew Janda - this one goes into specifics about how to think on each street, how to build a good strategy etc. Some of the details will be different from the latest theory because the book was released in 2013 but it's still a very solid read if you want to level up.

I'm still mystified as to why no country has switched over to ultra-light rail. The costs of asphalt projects seem to dwarf the cost of doing anything reasonable and leave AI as an exercise for the over confident.

Classic games tend to be more fun than New York horoscopes. For me at least, there's something fundamentally profound about solving a logical puzzle better than anyone in history, that just isn't there in guessing which way some lines are going to go.
That’s not your fault. Often these diagrams display too much information at once and most crucially, without _order_ of execution.

When I get shown one of these I immediately demand to be walked through it from the perspective of the most common user story the system satisfies.
It's also worth noting that Wind River purchased Integrated Systems almost entirely so they could kill off pSOS and drive customers to using their competing VxWorks RTOS. I wouldn't doubt if FlexOS is in a similar situation.

It's very likely if you talked to someone at Wind River, they would say "why would you want to release FlexOS for free when you could license VxWorks for a large price instead?"

Even if someone were unfairly anti-Israel, why would that imply they’re also antisemitic?
And how do you suppose they enforce that?
The Republicans absolutely don't have an incentive to contest every single House seat (neither do the Democrats), and they don't. For instance, 2 cycles ago, an avowed neo-Nazi --- who literally stood on Chicago street corners in a Nazi uniform with a bullhorn --- took the GOP nomination for Lipinski's seat. That was possible because, at the time, running as a Republican against Lipinski was suicidal. The GOP did not contest that seat.

Each cycle, both parties make red-to-blue and blue-to-red lists of districts to flip, and allocate money disproportionately to them.

Even setting aside top-down party decisions, which clearly happen, seats aren't contested seriously for knock-on reasons: the best candidates won't run for hopeless seats, because the loss taints them and opens them up to carpetbagging charges when they try to contest other districts.

I don't think I disagree with your whole analysis, but the argument that "Republicans have an incentive to contest every single House seat" clearly doesn't hold.
I once read a physicist on this, in a newspaper, who said "if I didn't believe in free-will, then I wouldn't bother getting up in the morning." I thought that was cute.

I think the term free-will has clouded the issue a bit. Forget about free-will. Scientists, instead, normally talk about Determinism vs indeterminism, or nondeterminism in CS. These have a more precise definition than that other thing. The universe is deterministic if the outcome of events are completely determined by previous events. Or the universe is nondeterministic if the outcome of events are not certain, but follow a random distribution.

As to the precise details of the speeds and distances etc, it is a thought experiment, swap the car for a rocket traveling past at 0.86c, if you like. Or instead of aliens deliberating all day, maybe they are more efficient than we are, and they make their decision instantly by flipping a digital coin powered by the perfectly nondeterministic quantum fluctuations of the vacuum.[0]

For earth rocket man, there is a moment before the quantum dice roll when the decision is indeterminable, it's completely random. But at the same moment in the stationary frame, the fleet is already on it's way. Unless you wish to argue that a stationary reference frame is somehow more valid than a moving one, you have to accept that in the moving frame, the event of the dice roll has still not occurred and should be random, but how can it be random, if it has already happened in the stationary frame. Hence the paradox.

I hope that cleared things up some?

My wife has Asperger's and had a hell of a time getting bullied in school.

Women with Asperger's are also more likely to get into abusive relationships and/or abuse drugs.

You sound really angry in this comment and make a lot of assumptions.

Do you feel that the others in your family afflicted with Asperger's had it easier due to their gender? Seems to be a bit of a sore point for you.
I think the characterization on Wikipedia is also incorrect. Igor seems to have had a permission directly from the CTO to open-source the code, but 10 years later the company claimed that the CTO was not in a position to do so.
I've proposed this idea before and still see the merit in it.

Online platforms can still be funded by advertising. Taking away the targeting just reduces the incentive to spy on users.

Amazing work.

I work on the Android location team at Google, and I sent this article out to my team. GPS/GNSS is critical for accurate location/context, and there's still plenty of innovations happening in this field.

One of our directors is Frank Van Diggelen - none other than the professor who taught the Stanford GPS MOOC referenced by the article :) I'm sure he is going to appreciate seeing the course called out there!
Its interesting you keep using the word ‘redistribution’ for social services, when capitalism is by definition a redistribution from the poor to the rich. It’s also demotivating for people to be trapped in poverty while their employers’ relative slice of the pie is growing year by year. Capitalism may well have slightly democratized the wealth generation process compared to some authoritarian regimes, and some economies have increased average standard of living while doing well under Capitalism, it’s not all bad, but there is certainly lots and lots and lots of room to improve. It’s also interesting to put the onus on the poor to be motivated, in a system designed by the rich that begins to fail, and we take corrective action, if our unemployment goes too low.
> Ah, but you might say, if a shared library is compromised, it's easy to push a fix! But how to you think it got so widely compromised in the first place? Perhaps because it was a widely shared library? Sharing is a double-edged sword.

Not sure I understand. I imagine without dynamic linking/shared libraries, most widely used shared libraries would be widely used statically linked libraries, and so a vulnerability in them would indeed be harder to fix, as you'd need to relink all the binaries using them instead of just the dynamically linked library?

(Also, memory usage seems more concerning to me than disk space. Shared libraries are called "shared" because all their non-mutable pages in memory are shared across processes. To even approximate the same with static libraries, you'd pretty much have to have deduplication of pages in memory. Link-time optimization might then spoil even that plan entirely. Of course on the other hand, dynamic linking precludes LTO for that.)

Yes, harmful behaviours by companies have to be regulated.

We don’t let chemical waste get poured into rivers.

Likewise, we shouldn’t allow harmful behaviour online. We have to as a society agree what that means, which is what is now finally happening.

Ultimately the businesses will still be viable, just different. Most likely more innovative and making better products in more competitive environments.

I’m not a professional software dev so apply many grains of salt.

I code with pen and paper beside me, specially when doing anything that involves another thread or these days a go-routine.

Drawing boxes and lines to symbolise go-routines and channels.

The hardest thing for me about software is understanding a large code base. Often I struggle to even understand where the “entry point” is, let alone the whole thing.

A viz tool that would sequentially build a function/module/file call walkthrough the code would be awesome. Bonus points if it can limit the depth so dependencies are not traversed etc

This is ignoring some minor details, like that Israel had to fight some real frigging wars over its bare existence, and is still facing a regional power that calls for its extinction. Looks like Israel isn't getting too much love, at least not here at HN.

I maintain that we in Israel are still a very normal, western type society, if you take all these rather extreme circumstances into consideration (and, in addition, we are getting quite a lot of tech done ;-) )
I was thinking the same thing about this working better as a blog post. It's so frustrating for each sentence to be it's own line and to be interrupted every moment. The content itself is excellent, but I really wish there was a better platform for it than Twitter.

Let's be specific about what UP is complaining, then:

"But even with these expanded resources and closer partnerships with local law enforcement, we find ourselves coming back to the same results with the Los Angeles County criminal justice system. Criminals are caught and arrested, turned over to local authorities for booking, arraigned before the local courts, charges are reduced to a misdemeanor or petty offense, and the criminal is released after paying a nominal fine. These individuals are generally caught and released back onto the streets in less than twenty-four hours. Even with all the arrests made, the no-cash bail policy and extended timeframe for suspects to appear in court is causing re-victimization to UP by these same criminals. In fact, criminals boast to our officers that charges will be pled down to simple trespassing – which bears no serious consequence."

You are perfectly correct in the pedantic sense, but the spirit of their complaint is much closer to the GP's post than to what you represent.
