> This article is heavy on the victim-blaming.

Victim-blaming is about blaming the vulnerable and powerless. Union Pacific might be 'victims' of crime, but they are not vulnerable and powerless. As one dramatic example, we wouldn't be talking about this issue if it was a vulnerable, powerless individual; they have the power to get their point of view into the public eye.
Assetto Corsa's complete edition often goes on sales for ~$5 and can be modded like crazy, and also has reasonable controller support. Wheel and pedals will always be better though.
Google has shown such "entitlement" on many occasions. Take, for one example, their idea that they are entitled to not pay Sonos for their technology which just came back to bite them. Of course it was Google's customers who ended up getting the short end of the stick.
Look at the timeline:

1930 - first cigarette company uses physicians in their ads
1950s - evidence starts mounting that smoking causes lung cancer
1964 - US Surgeon General report on the link between smoking and cancer
1998 - cigarette companies still maintained that the link is controversial

So it takes 70 years, or nearly an entire generation, before all of the machinery at play (businesses, government, healthcare, scientists) can effectively come to the conclusion that they messed up badly and sold people poison. Grim.

> We need to have safeguards against filing bogus arrests regardless of this whole scaling bail proposal. The same vulnerability to a corrupt police system already exists: police could just fabricate violent charges to justify denying bail on grounds of safety.

Violent charges might be taken much more seriously by the system right now; how confident are we that existing safeguards are good enough? Ideally we would have good safeguards, but that doesn't mean it's fine to exacerbate any existing problems.

> it would expand the set of co-conspirators required for corrupt police to pull this off

By how much though? Police have a lot of trust in each other (the job demands it), I think "arrest this dude for suspected littering" wouldn't seem like a huge favour.
You do realize that the thieves are using bolt cutters and breaking into a containers. Some container owners are now welding their containers closed to prevent contents from being stolen.

Union Pacific is also turning information over and helping get people arrested, but they're back on the street within 24 hours.
> UP is making arrests though, even with fewer officers. The problem seems to be the LA Prosecutor not... prosecuting.

That's not what their letter actually said, IIRC?

I know what I'm missing, and have experienced it. I see this as an environmentally friendly way to do something I love literally whenever I want, and it's wayyyyy cheaper to boot. And the racing quality (competition) is better than any real-world thing too. The skill ranges are so tight in online races, especially iRacing.

The feelings you had with nausea is common for people, and it's possible to get over it if you are methodical. Lots of people I knew couldn't do more than 1 minute when they started, and slowly worked up to it. Trick is to stop the moment your stomach feels unsettled, and try it every day. Don't push though it.
> This cycle of having a few years where the costs of an approach aren't acknowledged, to a few years where the benefits aren't acknowledged, is very lame.

Well said. I do sympathize with some of the criticisms but only insofar as people who didn't have experience with microservices get sold on a lot of hype, the tradeoffs aren't made clear, and they get burned. The cycle seems to be "This is the silver bullet for programming complexity!" for a few years, followed by a few years of "This isn't a silver bullet!" before the Next Big Thing (TM) comes along and the cycle starts over.

Most of the Xerox papers (including mine) are behind paywalls, individually, but fortunately you can get them all for free on bitsavers [1].

Fun fact: LeRoy Nelson has a paper in there. In the book, I had to pick some job for "Janet Saunders" that didn't do too much violence to the real story, so I picked LeRoy's (build czar). Janet is not in any way modeled on LeRoy!

"D.C. Smith" (or Dave Smith, the inventor of icons) has a bunch of papers in that PDF, and he wrote the Foreword for my book. It's his son Jeffrey on the cover, playing MazeWar.

That's not usually what "static" vs "dynamic" means in this context.

Static just means it's already a file, and that gets delivered directly to the user's browser with no server-side substitutions or especially database lookups.

There's some ambiguity there, but that's the basic idea. The alternative is pages that are created on-the-fly when requested, often by looking up a bunch of crap in a database, or the server running a bunch of code to compile together separate files.

"static" sites absolutely change, it's just you usually have to deploy something when you change them, it's not just "a different person viewed this".
Can you give evidence of anyone saying that? The only people who say it are reactionaries spreading disinformation.
>>Just talk and repeating your own interpretation as authoritative.

I provided a source to the data.

People are free to draw their own interpretations from the macroeconomic data I presented, which shows, indisputably, a massive shift to a more social democratic economic model.

>>they are repeated appeals for source to an extraordinary claim

I provided a source for the data that verifies my claim.

You have not explained at all what is extraordinary about characterizing the creation of sweeping social welfare programs, and an associated massive rise in the share of GDP expropriated by the state for social welfare spending, as "a dramatic shift to a more social democratic economic model".

>>which obviously would be more commonplace if it was true since large political camps would have a lot to gain from it.

There is no "large political camp" that stands to gain from aggressively advocating a reduction in government power, including so-called right-wing parties, under whom the share of GDP expended on social welfare programs has rapidly increased, as major new expansions of the social welfare system has been implemented (e.g. Medicare D under Bush).

All embarking on any genuine campaign to reduce government spending would do is draw the ire of the very powerful public sector unions, whose agendas you aggressively champion in our discussion, and ensure a massive election defeat.

>>You can start with providing a single one?

What difference would it make if I dig up one source? Would it lead to you agreeing with me? If not, this is just an exercise in deflection from you.

If you tell me how many sources it will take, for you to agree with me, then I might take the time to dig them up.

>>In the United States, data from the Census Bureau show that the share of national income going to the middle 60 percent of households has fallen to a record low since the 1970s

This characterizes an outcome, not a govermment policy. The government policy of expending economic output on social welfare programs was expanded all through the last 60 years.

Your dogmatic and ideologically motivated insistence that social democracy will reduce income inequality is completely unsubstantiated, and therefore a rise in income inequality in no way contradicts the assertion that the economy transitioned to a more social democratic model.
To a significant degree the complete failure of the allied defense of Norway (not help by Norway complete incompetence of defending itself) plays a significant role here. It is one of those under-appropriated parts of WW2. Had Norway been defended Sweden would have been in a massively different position. They could have exported Iron Ore to Britain instead and Britain would have been in a position to help Sweden in its defense from potential German attack.

The Sweds had the Germans very close on one side and practically no other trading partner to sell to. Iron ore was vital to the Germans and there is no question they would have gone to war to get it, Germany controlled all export routes.

At the same time you have the Soviets, who are now often seen as the second biggest evil, but this was not at all clear back then. Lets remember that the Soviets had just conducted the Katyn massacre for example. The Soviets had invaded Finland and all the Baltic states. And their treatment of those places was far harsher then the Nazis were in Norway. 10000s of people from the Baltic states were transported to the Gulags at that time and most were never seen again.

So Sweden was stuck between a aggressive Germany and an aggressive Soviet Union with no way for the allies the help them in any meaningful way.

Germany very much had the capability of invading Sweden, specially once they controlled Norway. Just as the Swiss had no question that if Germany wanted to they could invade and take most of Switzerland.

Not being in that positions its easy for us now to be morally outraged. However, at the time a wrong choice could lead things mass starvation, air attacks against civilian population, mass rape and many other things.

> second, in a conflict of literal nazis vs everyone else

You should go back and actually look at WW2. It was not Nazis vs everybody else. In fact, because of Soviet actions in Finland, Baltic, Romania and so on, it was actually the case that many countries looked to Germany to protect them from the Soviets.

Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia were allies of Germany.

And Italy of course but for other reasons.

> they can hardly be called neutral,

Diplomatic neutrality does not mean you treat everybody equally.

I don't know about Sweden as much. But Switzerland changed is policies quite a bit once the allies had freed France and a Nazi invasion was no longer as acute a possibility.
Isn’t the DA telling, both them and us, what the priority is if they say they won’t prosecute a specific crime?

Along that same line of thought is that it is not relevant what the DA thinks about the law. The powers that be created the law and the DA should prosecute it every time there is an arrest and let the courts figure it out.

Also in your job you are given priorities and you work on the lowest ones last. And if you always have more priorities than hours in the day then the lower priority ones don’t get done. Based on the laws that are actually on the books there are more law breakers than police officers so they have to pick and choose their priorities. That’s still a reasonable thing to do.
This might be a long shot, but if you’re still looking for candidates, how may I get in contact with you outside of HN?

I’m a self taught dev currently working in IT for a federal agency and going to school at the same time. I got this far in IT as self taught and I’ve really enjoyed the experience of learning through challenges. I’m trying to get in Software the same way to grow from within. I am very resourceful and I am used to learning on my own, so I am convinced that I will take off with just a bit of mentoring.

They don't care about her learning. It's a school, she's not being tutored. It's mostly about childcare and ranking, not learning and they know her rank. If you don't ask for an individualised education plan or otherwise show that you know the magic words that show that you are preparing evidence to sue them they're not going to do anything.

Education schools have been very clear for decades that acceleration and other accomodations for gifted students are wrong and evil.
You've got me thinking about multiplying two imperfect oscillators together.
The LORAN long range navigation system placed transmitters all around the world.

The hardest part of constructing the transmitter was designing "high Q" notch filters for any local frequencies.

Perhaps the 5G transmitters can install such high Q filters.

Interest rates going up means future cash flow becomes less attractive compared to current cash.

This lowers the price of stocks and bonds.

The US Gov can't afford to pay more on its debt, so I bet the rates will be driven back down eventually by the Fed, and the USD inflationary debasement will continue (and prices will resume going up).

Failing this would lead the US to insolvency and a hard default, instead of the soft inflationary one.
Yeah who knows what unequivocal advice we could be getting from experts right now that will be thoroughly debunked 70 years from now.

(Are dairy and grains still food groups... I could easily go on)
Then you're simply not thinking about it deeply enough. There are plenty of shows that someone may want to watch but may not be able to invest 100% of my attention watching that show, therefore with a show dubbed in their native language, they can still have the show in the background while being able to listen to the audio.

With subtitles one has to constantly be looking at the actual show itself. Furthermore if one makes use picture in picture such as on a mobile platform or a tablet device the subtitles are so correspondingly small as to be basically hieroglyphic at that point.
Are you surprised that they recommend vaccines though? Even if natural immunity gave absolutely perfect immunity, it would make sense to recommend vaccines to the uninfected population.
What are you using for text search? Looks like Algolia to me. Did you roll your own?
The US system is racist, and needs reform, let's agree on that.

However, removing all punishment for crime isn't a sane response. It quite predictably incentivized property theft that was previously at an acceptably low level, despite the broken system.

If things aren't rebalanced, vigilante justice might be seen as an acceptable answer, and it will probably bring strong racists themes along with it.
It's easy for us to pull out the "but literal nazis!" trope now, some 70+ years later. But in 1940, in another country weren't they just another ruling power in a neighboring country? I was always under the impression the majority of the atrocities, and in particular the camps, weren't really known outside of Germany itself until the end of the war or as Germany started to fall.

Why exactly “should” they do that?
So as john_cogs mentioned above, I did a presentation on the best way to engage with HN today. The benefits I listed included:

* traffic (which is nice, but not super sticky)
* the comments (which I've found to be insightful and useful in showing both flaws in my arguments as well as additional areas for research/writing)
* the follow-on traffic, as people share it in newsletters, slacks, facebook groups, twitter, etc, etc

The best way to engage with the HN community? To be part of the community (comment, share interesting things that are not your own, etc) :).
Well now you've got me thinking. That has to be very feasible for any content you own the file for, but I wonder how steaming services currently handle subtitles. Are they embedded into the video stream or are they their own channel? Could a third party pull them out and pass them along to a separate device like that?

Does anyone with more experience have any idea?
I really can't stand texting personally. It astonishes me how much it's a step backwards in innovation for the convenience of companies being able to target and index conversations that people think are private better. Yet still, even voice recognition can't recognize when I say names of my friends that are from foreign countries, and it doesn't connect me with strangers that speak other languages. I think our tech focus on typed text has really stunted the growth of tech in the past few years a lot, also it does nothing to make sure our interaction become easier with differences in learning capabilities and disabilities that exist in our society.

It's really a shame that voice recognition hasn't been pushed further because of all the effort put into requiring everyone to use tiny phone keyboards and frustrating emojis just to convey a message and then waiting for someone else to respond in a way that completely distracts people during normal activities like driving or crossing a street.

It's simply not good progress to continue down that texting-based/focused path in my opinion for future progress.
Even in the Latin American way, surely there are people who can afford more than one house, and decide to rent out the surplus? But I agree that regulatory overhead in housing construction is very high, and this contributes to the cost of housing.

The favelas in Latin America, whose property are they actually built on?
RCS is great. They should have done it ten years ago.

Sure, ten years ago it probably didn’t seem to matter, but the iPhone 5 already bumped the screen size from 3.5in to 4in the rear camera was already 1080p, and “phablets” were already a term in 2012. It was totally foreseeable that MMS size limits where going to be a problem, if they weren’t already!

What a great case of skating where the puck is, instead of skating where it’s headed. RCS existed as a spec, just not implemented by carriers. The fact that Apple, and even Google, are routing around their MMS servers is totally their fault.
This is an interesting perspective that I hadn’t considered.

My colleagues all seem happy in their roles, although they work in countries with less workers rights/securities(?) than in my own country. Maybe they don’t document anything so they are seen as “sticky”.

However I do wonder how they would feel if they were blocked from taking a new internal role because they’re deemed too essential, because they’ve not documented anything.
Yeah, I kinda liked Halt and Catch Fire until it got into video games in Season Two. Not really my thing.

The cover picture on my book actually features Dave Smith's son Jeffrey playing MazeWar on a real working Alto.
Yeah, but that is past. Now we can absolutely, truly believe on doctors, as it is all based on science.
It is not possible to gain weight by eating your total daily calorie expenditure in pure sugar.

Yes, not all calories are metabolized the same, and sugar may lead to over eating, but at the end of the day, it’s a simple equation. You can’t gain weight without taking in more than you’re putting out.

>>Perhaps you are the one who needs to understand. What makes you the holder of Truth? The people you claim to speak for - why are you speaking for anyone? - they vote for these policies, overwhelmingly. They objected for generations to the brutal oppression of police and will tell you, if you let them speak for themselves, that police make them feel less safe. They will tell you that bail ruined lives of innocent people by keeping them imprisoned, costing people jobs, making them burdens on their communities.

>>You can make up characterizations, but the policies are based on, finally, listening to people in those communities.
Further, there is no evidence connecting the policies with crime increases. Crime has remained low overall, and the increase in gun crime and homicide has been spread across the country, regardless of local policies.

Nope.

You in fact are probably among those who believe they are the "holder of Truth" in how much you believe in your exaggerated position and its importance.

Most people of color are not being brutalized by police. Most are not being downtrodden and being imprisoned unjustly. Quite to the contrary, most in this country are law abiding citizens making their way up the economic and social ladder. Many are poor. And more often than not, need and value the protection of police and government for their communities.

You say you listened to the communities, but you actually just decided to hear the loudest/most vocal people who latched on to some headline-grabbing idea that doesn't represent the bulk of what daily life is in this country. And you overexaggerate the proportion of people of color who are experiencing these issues versus living normal, striving, lives. Of course you are -- only that story fits your desire to create disproportionate attention to the issue.

And you took that idea and thought that using it to upend the systems of law would benefit some small symbolic group. Yes there are some incidents of police brutality and misconduct, but you would no more say that that should be grounds to dismantle a system of law any more than you would say that a few bad apples should be used to prejudge a people.

I don't claim to speak on behalf of any community. You certainly do.

The dismantling of justice systems / overlooking of crime is not conducive to a good society. And your last sentence just illustrates the blinders you have on to evidence of increased crime in places with newly-tolerant anti-policing policies.

Don't be so self-righteous and confident in your position because you think you're morally correct.
I've had to go on HN a bunch to say this. Engineering school is brutal and generally requires passing a great deal of difficult courses that signal to certain employers that you'd be a good fit to design the power grid or components of space shuttles. They also give you a certain framework/toolbox to work with after you've done calculus, differential equations, circuits, dynamics, statics (not statistics), material balances, coding + all the upper level classes. This is different than the framework/toolbox that an economist would get to help recommend policy changes. Economists don't call themselves engineers and engineers don't call themselves economists. I'd actually argue that the mathematical models and econometrics used by economists is closer to engineering than just programming. A programmer/developer also has a very challenging job that involves what is essentially solving a complex technical puzzle under a huge variety of social constraints such as working within a team and meeting project deadlines and making trade-offs (for example, monolith or microservice). It isn't what engineers define as engineering though.
> Let’s be real though: one need not invoke resentment-laced arguments about fairness to see that public schools just do not have the resources to properly educate (upper) outliers.

Let's also be real though. This was a conscious policy decision made by school boards across the country.

G&T programs used to be what school's public and private marketed. Now the public schools where I grew up don't even offer AP classes, and a huge portion of their budget now goes to special education.

Why did we decide we have the resources to spend on the lower end of "special" scale but not the upper?
