Ah man, I saw the bodycam footage from that incident. That scarred me, it's NSFL.

I've previously seen many bodycams which to me changed the view on what american LEO (can) meet on a daily basis, and the zero-time switch from a completely docile event to a deadly encounter. This made me change how I look on us leo's often hardball and pseudo-militarian approach to such encounters, because there are so many weapons in everyday society and people willing to use them against leo's.

This Shaver encounter is not one of those. There were multiple rifles pointed at him, who was alone, drunk and terrified. You could clearly hear it from his voice, and he was completely compliant to the best of his abilities.

The officer in charge was going all-in Rambo on him and did nothing to calm the situation. All his commands was balls-to-the-walls aggressive and multiple threats to Shavers life. The commands was confusing, even to me all sober behind a screen, and to drunk Shaver they must've been greek. He was in panic.

Imo the officer giving commands, and the officer shooting, should both be considered guilty of manslaughter. They should not be allowed with guns, much less leo's.
Irrespective of what leaders in the West think, there was a titanic reorientation when the West weaponized their financial markets against Russia with the implicit threat that they will do so to others. The world took note and acted accordingly.
That's pretty much my point. We have very few tests for this. In the absence of tests, when people express an opinion on whether something is/isn't sentient, what are they basing that on?
A very good article on highlighting the bias and blindspots in these so-called 'fact-checkers' that have knowingly distorted and suppressed parts of the truth and slanting the opposing side with their own lies and the article precisely gives the answer to the question on 'who checks the fact checkers?'; it is each of us and it is up to us to call out the bias or blindspots with multiple counter-evidence.

Only we have to provide multiple sources from all sides to re-verify their own fact-checking in order to eliminate and reduce the extreme bias found with today's 'fact-checkers'.

One source is not enough and all sides paint the full story as described in this article.
It's funny ... the article makes a great reading about creeping authoritarianism, but all I get from each paragraph is "do not hire Stanford graduates that left after 2013".

These organisations exist in their splendour because society gives them a higher perceived status than the community college next door. This status will quickly drop if graduates become unhireable.
Nothing much really it evolved into a more refined design, of which I sold a couple of plans to amateur builders.
That is nice, but it still requires installation of golang which is obviously something that can't be guaranteed.
Oh boy oh boy that thread had lots of ETH and sETH and oETH und BTC and what not.

No wonder that it's hard for some people to see the Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes and what else those things are called.

Regulations anyone?

Or do we now just see people loosing their money?
Nope. The Ethereum Foundation foundation cannot do anything either.

Think of the foundation as someone like the World Wide Web Consortium. They research and lead the protocol(s) standardisation, but it's not up to them to do the implementation, besides perhaps providing a reference implementation.
Honestly IMO Java is in a very good spot right now. Mature technology, maybe a bit "unsexy", but rock-solid and future-proof.

There are still pain points, but the language is leaps and bounds better than the Java 1.6 days.
Almost as if us election outcomes have nothing to do with what the constituents want.
The key here is the charge curve. We currently have 350kW chargers but most cars can only take advantage of that for ~10 minutes before dropping. This is why most EVs take an hour to charge to 100%. By the time they get to that 98% value the charge rate has slowed to 10s of kW.

If you could do 98% of the charge at 350kW, that'd be ~15 minutes to hit 98% at 350kW. Today, it takes around 30 minutes for most vehicles to go from 0->80%.
Companys have shown time and time again that they are not to be trusted. Especially Amazon has not been in the news so much because the working conditions are so good, remind you.

It is in my opinion totally a legit view to first believe the workers. History has shown that corruption and lawbreaking are many magnitudes more prevalent in corporations than unions.
> It's the job of the PM to decide what to build. It's your job how to build it, which includes taking time for an appropriate level of quality.

Cyting my current Project Manager:

„We are short on deadlines, dont care about quality, just deliver crap and we will fix it overtime (we will not /s)”

You live in some unrealistic world.

Companies have deadlines set together with clients. Deadlines are signed by the ppl who have no idea about how technically challenging it can be to build something.

You are hired to deliver ON TIME. Nobody gives a demn about quality when new client is banging on the doors.

Thats the sad reality of 90% of IT.
how is this not common sense
That is an error in your brain's perception of things. When you use glasses for a while, your eyes get less used to straining and different muscles in your face relax. Then, when you go without, you notice the strain. This same sort of thing happens when you switch prescriptions as well (not to mention that folks' eyes might degrade as part of normal aging). Realistically, these are the same sort of things that drive folks to the eye doctor because they are having headaches.
What’s Going on with Sriracha?
I obviously own such a phone, but it still does heck knows what and connects to the internet. A base os that does nothing else but calls is still a better option.
Who said doublespent is impossible? Innovating your way out of such a limitation :

"$stETH is a product by @LidoFinance.

It stands for (liquid) staked $ETH and it's one of the most innovative DeFi products to be released in the last few years.

$stETH can also be used to earn MORE yield than otherwise possible with vanilla $ETH.

Why?

Because while $stETH already earns staking yield, it can also be lent out or liquidity provisioned."
Not a single one of those was a mass shooting by the common definition. They were all just random murders/attempted murders, which your continent has quite a lot of as well. The only difference is you don't have lobbyists who compile lists on Wikipedia.
you could be talking about the sky being blue during the day and not everyone would agree on reddit.

But crypto discussions on Reddit are just ridiculous. You do get some good nugets like OP's but for the most part it's a group of cryto bros pushing their own exposure.
The article is from 2019 and things were in pretty good shape then, though I do think the author's broader point about the concerns of journalists not really aligning with the concerns of everyone else does still hold true.
Moderators seem to deleting all new comments on this Reddit post
I bet my life it does help people. Even if it's just one sentence that someone read as part of 20 tabs they opened for whatever research/project/thing they were doing.

You can write for yourself, but if you publish it on a publicly available site, you clearly want it to be read by others.
There's gonna be a lot of buyer's Réaumur-se around...
Yeah, same thing in Germany.

I recall chatting with some highly-placed dude in Deutsche Post a few years back. He had come in from the tech industry to unfuck their... well, tech, and was amazed at the level of opulence available to him as a highly-placed public servant.

A full-spec Mercedes S-class limousine with a chauffeur for his exclusive use was just the start. It was nuts.

The marketing is fantastic. Let's all chip in to help each other out, take care of the poor, all that jazz. But sweet baby Jesus doesn't that machine just grease the hell out of its own wheels.
Hi, non-native english-speaker here. I read much of 'but hu ?' on the (in this thread) linked websites !? Will make a comic about what i thought reading and concluding this topic (another non-mathematic here):

1st) you have to generate a 'numbers-room'

So, when you multiplicate two 'one-digit' numbers, the 1st calculation with a two digits result is 2 * 5

2 * 6

2 * 7

2 * 8

2 * 9

3 * 3

3 * 4

3 * 5

3 * 6

3 * 7

3 * 8

3 * 9

4 * 4

4 * 5

4 * 6

4 * 7

4 * 9

5 * 5

5 * 6

5 * 7

5 * 8

5 * 9

6 * 6

6 * 7

6 * 8

6 * 9

7 * 7

10 * 1

10 * 2

10 * 3

10 * 4

10 * 5

10 * 6

10 * 7

70 * 8

10 * 9

and 12 * 9 is the first sum with a 3-digits result.

> But there was 10 * 10 a '4-digits' multiplication with onla a 3-digits result.

And if you took physics -acustics, you know there are primary- and secondary waves spreading...

> losing $3,218.95 from its previous close

It's interesting how the concept of limited trading hours is so ingrained that reporters continue to talk about "market close", even though it doesn't exist for crypto markets.
Journalism is this weird profession where its individual members have very little personal power and clout, because doing good research and writing is not a huge barrier to entry. Most are just freelance cogs in a big capitalistic machine that isn't doing very well by capitalist standards. But collectively they wield immense power to set the narrative that essentially drives democracy. I suspect this encourages pack behaviors.
The NetHack Challenge: Dungeons, Dragons, and Tourists (2021)
Because rainbow capitalism and authoritarianism is still capitalism and authoritarianism?

Paying lip service to diversity doesn't change the fact that they want 99% of the exact same things as the authoritarian capitalists that hold up guns and yell yeehaw.
They are providing horrible working conditions for a good chunk of their workers - tight schedules that force some to wear diapers, lack of air conditioning, discouraging human interaction etc. As they expand their warehouses and needs, this keeps deteriorating, and affecting more and more workers, who often don't have an alternative.

You consistently want to look at the impact Amazon had on consumers, which may well be positive, while ignoring that they can only achieve this by exploiting their workers.
Publicly available but protected? Sorry, but that's just mean. Your son will likely never read all, or any, of it. But someone else's son might. If it wasn't login protected, that is.
Nobody needs to charge their car at home in five minutes. You charge your car at home over night. The typical driver drives less than 100km a day, so needs less than 20kWh per day. The car is parked over night for around ten hours, so it takes about as much power as a kettle to charge it. Fast charging is for long highway trips where dedicated infrastructure can be constructed.
Stop existing.
Looks like they used a pretty standard lithium ion chemistry with high silicon anodes.

This is where the industry is currently going with state of the art lithium batteries. They've just been slower about increasing the silicon due to fears of what other tradeoffs will arise.
> they wield immense power to set the narrative that essentially drives democracy

What you're describing has a name and it isn't democracy: it's oligarchy.
> I had to pay real money to get the Java profiler I used at AWS and while it worked, it was klunky, not fun to use.

VisualVM <https://visualvm.github.io/> is quite good for Java/JVM profiling.
The average power consumed by an electric car doing average miles is a few hundred watts. It's well within the capacity of the grid to supply. The issue you're highlighting is that fast charging makes the power usage very bursty with high peaks.

So why not smooth it out? Put another battery in the charger which slowly replenishes. Then the grid doesn't see the bursty load you're talking about.
Not that person, but I'll call out a few issues I've had with the go stdlib:

First, it has a lot of useless packages you typically wouldn't use, like "log" and "flag" (which work, but are way worse than third party alternatives like logrus and pflag), but also like "syscall" (as it says 'deprecated, use 'golang.org/x/sys' instead), "image/draw" (nope, you wanted 'golang.org/x/image/draw' usually), "path" for working with paths (you wanted "filepath"), "net/rpc" and "rpc/jsonrpc", "plugin" (almost always a bad idea), a chunk of "strings" (use "golang.org/x/text" for proper unicode support) and so on. Some of those are marked deprecated, most of them are not, and are just waiting for someone to accidentally use them.

That's issues I have with the stdlib and not stuff I'm missing though... Though I guess I really do miss a good logging library, or at least interface for external packages to implement so I can plug in logging libraries without rewriting the world.

One thing I do find missing frequently is a reasonable set type with the ability to do things like basic set operations (intersect, diff, etc). I constantly have to write ad-hoc for loops in go to do set operations, and it's verbose, non-obvious what the code does, and easy to get wrong.

But honestly, the main thing I'm missing isn't actually a package, but more about error handling for the stdlib as a whole, which is more a language issue. I really wish I could know what possible errors stdlib functions returned without, fairly often, having to read huge chunks of stdlib code to determine that.

Perhaps 40% of the stdlib documents the error type it returns in a message (like 'os.Chdir' always returns '*os.PathError'), but for the rest, good luck. Want to figure out what errors you might have to check for 'tar.Writer.Close()'? Well, the docs says "returns an error", the interface is "error", you have to read hundreds of lines of code to figure out the possible concrete types it could be. Maybe 15% of the time, you end up having to string-match on error messages because the error var or type is unexported.
Academia produces thousands and thousands of adjuncts working far below the average American wage. To get to that stage you must spend five to eight years laboring as a graduate student, again working under the average wage. Only a fraction of those who go through this experience end up securing a stable university job because of it.

Maybe 10+ years ago the situation was so bleak, not nowadays you see tons of otherwise no-name academics, of all areas whether it's science , math, sociology, political science, or economics, carving out niches online, such as substacks, twitter, podcasts, YouTube lectures (like 3blue 1 brown), selling books on Amazon, fundraising, etc. It's not like your options are only limited to teaching at a university. One of the hidden benefits of academia , even if the pay sucks, is you get branding power, which you typically do not see with other professions. Noah Smith, for example, was something of a failed academic but now runs a hugely popular econ Substack blog.
Update: Scott Adams reacts favorably while reading aloud parts of the LaMDA dialog[1]. I find the dialog impressive enough that it does seemingly deserve a live reading. Perhaps an engineer with some religious background was the right person in this instance to be asking some of the questions. One might also reference Terrence McKenna or C. Castenada or the like (IIRC) in asking how much of human behaviour seems vaguely imitative if one looks closely.

Everyone wants and needs to be heard. Writing is another way of achieving that - putting the message in an internet bottle and letting it float. Your audience may live in another age, past you, but your message is still alive and maybe immortal. By writing you are getting better at writing. You are also getting better at noticing things worth writing about. You are putting a (hopefully) rare perspective into the world. If you can survive the cringes of reading your own past work, and not be demotivated by the lack of feedback, you feel fortunate. Fortunate not if you make a living off of it, or if it becomes important, but if the person you actually intended the writing for ends up reading at, enjoying it, and replying back.

If one day some AI supersedes humans and produces the most perfect writing on the planet, humans will not stop writing. Because writing is not about achieving perfection, but about feeling heard, eventually.
The upside of structural typing, with some help from Go idioms, is that it encourages composition and narrow types. A type like bytes.Buffer implements Reader, Writer, ByteWriter, ByteReader and another 5 or so interfaces but the call site can declare which set of methods it needs.

The downside of nominal interfaces seems worse: you have to import the interface which can lead to awkward situations like cyclic dependencies and type-only packages (a la Haskell). In practice, the extra friction of nominal interfaces also seems to encourage wide interfaces in contrast to Go's narrow interfaces.
I don't really see the problem with these, none of them seem offensive to me. Native-speaker care to elaborate?

Is there something deeper on a linguistic level or slang or something? Snowball is iirc some mix of drugs, like speed+downer or something, but then again, for those looking through police dictionaries of street slang, you quickly realize basically the entire vocabulary is slang for drugs.
I thought it was obvious. Every employee at Amazon is working at will. We're not living in the era of slavery. They are getting paid a fair wage to the point where they accept the job voluntarily as responsible adults. Their salary / equity is proportional to the value they create for Amazon. An Amazon warehouse employee creates very little value. They absolutely do not deserve millions in compensation for picking items from shelves.

Amazon is putting food on the table and enabling a million employees to raise families. Pay rents. Pay bills.

The entire equation whether you look from the employee side or customer side, has made the world better, the scale of which is difficult to imagine.

Bezos's wealth was not stolen from anyone or sitting in cash in his house. The entire pie got larger. His wealth is in the company that provided value to millions and they paid for the service voluntarily. It is important to note that there was no coercion involved.

Companies like Amazon make the world a better place. Otherwise we'd still be living in 1/1000th of the GDP of pre-industrial era with 90% people living in poverty. Every person that works, whether owns or a business or has a job, creates value, thereby increasing the size of the pie and lifting people out of poverty.
Yes! Respite care is hugely useful. Typically the only real commitment involved in doing so is you'll need to child-proof your house (plus maybe taking a couple of classes). If you have small children already, there likely won't be many changes you need to make.
That's really annoying, because the settings in iOS is terrible enough on the phone. Tons of stuff doesn't make sense, naming is bad, many settings are, in my opinion, placed under the wrong menu item.
If this were to happen (and I don't think it will), then you'd want that water connector to be part of the charging cable to avoid a two step hookup. That requires a new charging cable standard (which is why I don't think it'll happen).

Also, water kinda sucks to deal with for something like this. What if, for example, the water flowing in isn't pure? What if it's hard water? Your battery cooling tubes could need flushing and might start growing nasty fungus and such.

How would you know. did you ring the doorbell and as "hey, are you guys well off?" What does it mean to be well off anyway? Sometimes people who save a lot of money appear poorer than they are.
Same as before - hope the price is low enough and starts rising for the same reasons it was rising years ago.
Thanks for sharing - have stumbled over the term "geometric algebra" a couple of times, but this article made it click for me.

I completely agree with the sentiment that the algebraic mumbo jumbo often used to introduce quaternions is not very satisfying. Fortunately, as quantum computing becomes a mainstream topic, more people will have to learn about "Rotations on the Bloch sphere" [0] -- and then quaternions and rotations actually make sense.

FOP chapters often aren’t particularly democratic, progressive or labor-friendly; often endorsing Republican candidates. National FOP even endorsed Trump. Twice.
> MISO's biggest problem is that demand was rising at the same time generation resources have declined due mostly to the retirement of coal and nuclear plants for economic or environmental reasons.

So the irresponsible climate crisis movement can take full credit for this.
This is something that every individual needs to realize themselves, but you shouldn't give a flying fuck what strangers think of you. Or anyone, really. Their thoughts and opinions are their problem, not yours.

"Oh, but what if it actually affects me?". If it starts affecting you, then you fix it.

You don't care what a random person on the street/road thinks of you, right? Even though they can realistically punch/stab/yell/crash their car into you at any time.
Because horse betting is a game of skill where powerball is pure randomness.
I hope the ranges will still drastically increase. I need a big car, and I was already looking at the Mercedes EQV. It currently has an official range of 363 km. So that would mean 4 stops. But I have no idea how much you can charge in 15 minutes. During lunch I could probably do 30 minutes.
I'd say tough luck on this one because it's already adversarial - the power imbalance is too large at Amazon not to implement a union. That way the workers will have a more equal footing.
Yes, every robber baron billionaire eventually tries to launder their reputation through philanthropy. Yes, it’s nice that Andrew Carnegie built a bunch of libraries, and the Gates Foundation apparently has helped AIDS and polio in Africa, but when you really look at how much they’re giving versus how much they have (and still gain), it’s laughable.

Ever billionaire that has taken Buffet’s so-called philanthropy pledge, will always be a billionaire.

Now Mackenzie Scott on the other hand, has been giving money away faster than anyone, and an order of magnitude more than Jeff “I can’t think of any other way to spend my money except on an interplanetary escape pod for myself” Bezos.
That's social media and it sucks.
Sounds like good thing for environment. After all the greenest electricity is one not used at all.
1. A Musician has one tool. Ok, maybe a note-stand etc. But in software, there are thousands of "tools" you can buy.

2. Physical tools vs making copies of some bytes. No need to retread this here, but bottom line: Not comparable.
You only look at things relatively close to you from 9 to 5? You don't have computers or TVs at home? A smartphone? Cooking instructions?

It's not a hyperbole, glasses are massively inconvenient to those of us handicapped without, and having to hot-swap then depending on subject is massively more inconvenient.
Leveraging snapshots seems like a good one, especially if you can pick which snapshot of the system volume a process is running against.

Then you could create the new snapshot and do a live update by rolling over one process at a time.
because doing good research and writing is not a huge barrier to entry.

it's a big barrier when one considers the vast majority of Americans, even those with degrees, cannot do either well.
Isn’t this paper owned by Bezos? Pretty cool such an article made it to the paper.
Online libraries exist and offer a lot of this. Here is a good example of some curated lists of books for teens from a library:
