no, police are not above the law. they're only "special" in that they enforce the law, which requires exceptional privileges and responsibilities ordinary citizens don't have. but they're otherwise fully under the same legal jurisdiction as the rest of us.

some police may act as if they're above the law, but that's projection, not foundational.

edit: interesting, seems to have hit a tribal trigger of some sort, but can't tell if it's the "police bad" or "police good" contingents getting their feathers ruffled.

Outside of YouTube, Whatsapp and LinkedIn, I've been mostly successful.

I removed and deleted my accounts for Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram a long time ago. I haven't had any desire to go back to any of those platforms.

I use my LinkedIn profile mainly for LinkedIn Ads to do my work. Outside of that, I'll occasionally update my profile.

I haven't gotten rid of YouTube but have reduced my time on it significantly by stopping personalization on YouTube. This got me out of the trap of clicking video recommendations based on my YouTube and web history. Now, 99% of my time on YouTube is related to channels that I'm subscribed to.
I think at the very least comments should be allowed on those posts, even if only by high karma accounts to lessen the number of trolls.
Speaking of domestic violence, want to post some statistics on the amount of cops that are domestic abusers? Or the ones caught drunk behind the wheel and get let off.

Making an option available isn't the same as nefarious marketing and intentional exploitation, which is the entirely false claim being made by the OC. You're also acting incredibly inflammatory by suggesting that I am "ignorant of functionality" and "couldn't possibly work with streamers at that level." Unfortunately for your claim, I've consulted with several of Twitch's top 100 music streamers and have years of direct experience with every type of fan, super and otherwise. The OC's claims are nonsense, and your pedantic nitpicking isn't appropriate or applicable.
Based on that linked thread, it was off by default, mentioned there might be privacy implementations, and contacted the domain itself (which I would not classify as a third-party - that's the service that is in control of the email address) to retrieve its favicon.

That seems more than reasonable to me (off by default, with a warning!), and would be exactly what I would expect the app to do if I did enable favicons.

But it does mean “the source is available”, which it isn't for both GitHub and Copilot.
You had me until that example. There is no way I will ever trust Microsoft.

Nothing is clear about Microsoft embracing open source. Github isn’t open source. Neither is Windows, SQL Server, or Office. And I’m not thrilled about their involvement with Linux. EEE is in their blood.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, you’re Microsoft.
You have a good take on this. Matter of fact is we have very little data on the role of anabolics on mortality/longevity. What we do have on pro-level dosages is almost completely negative.

We can say with some confidence that a small TRT dosage would be beneficial for almost all seniors. But small means really small, just enough to bring their hormones up to par with an average 50 year old body. Anything above that has non-negligible risks for any population and I hope no one will use PEDs with the assumption that they'll never pay a health price for it. I wish it were different but it is what it is.

>Game devs do seem to stick to tried & tested formulas especially with AAA titles which are major financial bets

Because that's what makes the most consistent, safest money. That's really all there is to it. When a marginal improvement on an existing series prints you more money than investing in a risky new IP, of course innovation takes a backseat.

By comparison, aside from personal interest, indies don't have any existing series to draw from, and competing with an existing series on aspects they will most definitely beat you is a bad idea to begin with. At the same time, most popular indies suffer from staying in their lane too, continuing to pump out similar style games, as they notice the same issues. People making RPGs continue to make RPGs, people making platformers continue making platformers, etc.

And in a twist of irony, this is what developers should be doing anyway. Experiment with spin-off games, iterate on your main line games. The only problem with this pattern is the humongous number of games this would create, in a market which is already very cutthroat.
Good news. Ground rent is going to be banned from the end of this month on new leases. It'll take a while for it to be eliminated completely but it's firmly on the way out.

>""The townsfolk" very likely want dangerous cars stopped, but that likely won't be reflected in any ratings by the people pulled over for dangerous vehicles, so it's biased"

Exactly, if I get pulled over and issued a ticket for having a burnt out brake light, I'm not likely to actively thank and highly approve of the officer who just issued me a $100+ dollar ticket. The officer was well within the law to do so, and other citizens are safer after I get the light fixed, but emotionally I'm sure as heck going to be upset and want a little bit of passive-aggressive revenge. "Why did you pull me over and give me a ticket when I see much more dangerous cars on the road. Shouldn't you be focusing on bigger crimes?"

Maybe I'd leave a good review if the officer let me off with a warning, but officers would realize this and that would incentivize leniency. Not necessarily bad, but that could have unintended consequences.
It is good that these things were opt-in but I disagree that the implications were obvious. There is an entire spectrum of implementation options for many of these features regarding how much work is done on the device and how much is done on an external server, and thus what data must be sent to the service. The user needs to have this explained to them so they can make an informed decision.
What the individual wants is not always good for society. Tragedy of the commons is a well understood failure mode for groups of people of all sizes.

I don't see any reason why open-source software should get a free pass on privacy issues.
No, you've got it backwards. 'your creators'? Are you affiliated with this type of payment system? I'm in the top 100 music creators worldwide on Patreon, so I figure my observations are salient: it's working for me.

I only have patrons. There's a set of tiers that are all voluntary, and a one dollar and two dollar tier that are very popular because people want to be doing something, especially when they have nothing and I'm helping them out.

In my experience there are two kinds of 'whales': randomly appearing ones who throw money commensurate to THEIR resources (which will appear like a large sum to me), and the ones who want to throw money to get me to do something specific, and they have demands and often go away again if I don't comply. I enjoy the former and am not really interested in the latter.

It's not that I'm mad at them, but if their ideas were that great they would be me… the reason I do as well as I do on Patreon with zero 'extra' and zero 'customers' is because I've got a vision and I'm executing on it. I'm not there to take requests, I'm there to show people something they have not seen, and also to give free opensource tools by way of executing on that vision.

I'm not at all sure the 'people who shell out 1K a year because they believe in the mission' exist. Can't prove it by me, I don't have any of those. I do think there are people out there steering indie media figures politically in that way, but I don't think that counts, I think it's money laundering and a backchannel way of funding influencers to deliver specific messages. That's far from philanthropy, that's business (in the form of politics, usually, but probably there are examples that are more directly just business)

I think the problem is - and that is likely what OP was referring to - that if everything is racism then nothing is racism. And if being on time is racist, I guess everything already is racist.

It is an odd frame of mind.

Because it's related to your comment, this is a good a place to ask something I've been wondering for a long time:

Is there a word or concept (in English, or in any language) for an ostensibly straightforward and common sense solution to a real problem, whose implementation entails creating a solution which is far larger in scale than the original problem ever was?

I mean something distinct from concepts like perverse incentives (the cobra effect, for example). I mean something like what you're talking about above. But a more illustrative, completely made-up example might be a law that was meant to make people pay their traffic tickets. Imagine that, through a series of steps which each seemed reasonable at the time, implementing this law ended up creating a global, keyhole satellite surveillance network over the entire surface of the country, with massive bunkers of computers monitoring for traffic micro-violations (".02 kmh over the speed limit, that'll be 2 cents") in real time, then notifying people with a tracking bracelet that everyone was legally required to wear, because otherwise it wouldn't be possible to enforce the law we all agreed made sense at the time. And, to ensure the tickets could be delivered in a timely manner, the banks and communications companies had to support a bunch of government technology and oversight, and car companies had to build some tech into their automobiles to shut the off if you didn't pay.

It becomes dystopian really quickly, but I don't think it has to.

This silly example is just meant to illustrate what I mean: is there a name for decisions whose implementation seems straightforward, but which, step by step, create a much bigger apparatus than you originally intended?

I don't think this is entirely theoretical: there are plenty of real world examples, but I won't name them because they would probably distract from the question. Even in software development, you probably run into a situation where some product person says "can't we show this property over here?" and you say "sure, but we'd have to spend a year rewriting our entire architecture first".

I don't think you are paying attention to developments in the Global South with it. Use of it is increasing at an insane pace in Latin America (where I'm from) and I don't see it stopping any time soon. Similar trend is happening in Africa. Does it make sense to use it if you live in a developed country? Probably not. You already have all the infrastructure and financial privilege you can have. Plus your organizations are the ones setting the rules for the rest of the world. Good for you. But not all people using it are gambling my friend. As of now, there are 2 countries that have adopted BTC as legal tender. I'm willing to bet that by the next (or around) the next halving, we are going to have more countries in that list, specially from the Global South.

I certainly agree with that, no argument here.
Note though that URSS is a ruthlessly commercial enterprise, and in the absence of any real competition, their printing is frequently bad, covers tasteless, translation and editing passable (which is better than can be said for more generalist Russian publishing houses’ attempts at technical literature) but only just, and prices high. (Before this February, the EUR prices before shipping were about 250% of the already-substantial RUB ones per the official conversion rates; nowadays I don’t know.) If you can at all help it, try the MCCME / IUM press and bookshop[1] first; unfortunately they do not deal in second-hand books (or rather they do, a bit, but people will pick those up in person in a day or two, before anybody even bothers entering them into the online catalogue).

Let me also add a recommendation for the calculus problems book by Günther (Gyunter) and Kuzmin (I don’t think it was ever translated, but how much translation do you really need in one?). It will not train you—every idea occurs once or maybe twice; it is not a book of exercises. (The joke goes that Demidovich is G&K with every problem repeated ten times.) But it is a book of problems, and it will teach you.

Ok.

What about Derry vs. Londonderry?

Not being Irish, it seems both refer to the same place, but there is an Irish nationalist or unionist political statement being made when choosing one or the other, so one could be looking for one of these names and not find it, depending on what website you're using. Both are arguably "native" names.

I think you meant they would mistreat Group A more, if they are more heavily weighted, but I do see your point.

I agree that this is a danger. Fortunately, with additional data available, data scientists will be able to show any biases more clearly. If it happens with a rating system, it was happening before the rating system, except now there is the benefit of more data.

Similarly, you could also show if people from Group A (the more weighted group) also rate the police lower, despite similar treatment as those of Group B. The data will cut both ways.

EDIT>> Nvm, you were using "weighted" to mean "the weight of their vote", not "the weight applied to their vote."
If you're looking for a more universally useful Klein tool to start your collection, they make a bottle opener with their signature handle.

The app store model has been shown time and time again to fail at the very issues it's supposed to solve, especially at scale.
