"and therefore would not make this information available to investigators."

I find it unlikely that investigators would not be able to find those connections themselves, especially in the digital age.

"Next, it would mean that powerful interests who had responsibility for the crime, by instigation or negligence, might be able to avoid accountability for their actions/omissions, since people would not be able to connect them to the murderer."

How so? The media could still report on groups instigating the crime without naming the person committing it.

"Democracy is based on the belief that ordinary people can be trusted to know the truth, and use it in governing themselves. Perhaps you don't believe that, and are just against democracy?"

Don't troll, it's against the rules. Our democracy has had restriction on speech throughout its history, and has added others. Withholding the name has no impact on how ordinary people will make decisions since it's not pertinent to the underlying issued which could be described through impersonal means (talk about the actual mental illness you mentioned and not the specific person).
Which one is the problem? People not keeping a reasonable distance or... cops on a powertrip that now have another tool to fork with your rights?
>Imported goods get a lot more complex though.

True, it definitely is trickier, but it can be managed to some degree.

> The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act has a provision built in to protect trade competitiveness: a ‘Carbon Border Fee Adjustment’ imposed on covered fuels and ‘emissions-intensive trade-exposed’ (EITE) goods that cross our border in either direction. These goods include products like steel, aluminum, cement, glass, certain chemicals, and some agricultural products.
Goods that fall under this EITE classification and are imported from a country that does not have a carbon price equivalent to ours will have to pay a surcharge to make up the difference. Conversely, domestic EITE products exported to any country will get a refund for the carbon fee paid.
85% of US teenagers use tiktok. That's 85% of the future generation of US senators, Cabinet members, and Supreme Court justices, of police chiefs, civil rights activists, mayors, CEOs, etc. in their bedrooms right now consuming content curated by, and filming their lives and that of their friends, and uploading the video to data centers, that are controlled by a strategic adversary of the United States. This is, to put it lightly, a huge national security risk.
This law creates a situation where police can just keep walking toward someone filming, demanding that they stop. This is absolutely a tactic that will immediately be used by police to interfere with filming and attempt to prevent video evidence from being used against them.
But surely the police are well within their rights to have you do it from a safe distance?

8ft seems a reasonable compromise; close enough to capture what is going on, far enough away to not interfere in an ongoing struggle, for instance.
The non-religious, progressive side has dominated college campuses for about 15 years. It's okay to have alternatives, and it's okay for both sides of the belief continuum to be represented.

Except when you do (1), your "wrapped" error can longer be compared. You end up with the same Rust-style boiler plate of building your own error structs or you eschew the ability to inspect your error types at all.

For example, if I have some library that makes a network request and that request times out do I:

1. Return net.Error?

2. fmt.Errorf?

3. My own custom type

The problem with (1), is that API is invisible; the caller is now expected to trawl through my code or documentation for any errors I might return that the caller might want to handle. (2) prevents the caller for acting on my error without string mangling (and again has to inspect my code for the exact strings to handle. (3) is the best, but has the same level of boilerplate; and is also, I've found, unidiomatic in Go.

The second blight of Go's error handling situation (after if err == nil), is errors are rarely part of an APIs contract; especially outside of the standard library. Often times if you want to handle a special error code for a given API it means actually opening up the source code and hunting down where that error is thrown and hoping that (1) the error type is public or (2) that the library author won't break your string mangling in a later version.

The rest of the comment below the quote explains the manipulation: Kavanagh is implying that law enforcement lacks the tools to deal with that kind of interference, when the reality is that they have ample preexisting authority to arrest anyone who actually does interfere with them.

This law attempts to turn an innocent and passive civic action into a kind of interference, which is absurd on face value. If a person is actually interfering with the cops and just so happens to be recording while they do it, the law already allows the cops to arrest them.
It absolutely has occurred to me that I'm not the target audience. That said, I still think there's a problem with the course in as much as I don't agree with the method selected.

In other words, CS50 is probably great if it is the one and only course a new person would take. This is due to the broad focus on so many concepts.

However, if it is the first out of many courses, I would not choose such broad focus. I would (and have done many times) create a curriculum based on the student's needs and desires.

That's why I don't like CS50. It's not because I'm not the target audience necessarily, it's that CS50 is overhyped and, in my humble opinion, not suited to be the first course for serious self learners.

By not suited, I mean that there are a number of specifications on Coursera that are a) also free, and b) will lead one better to the goal if the goal is known (which is where most newbies need a mentor). I do not mean that CS50 is unsuitable; I mean that it is suboptimal. In my experience, that is.

> Would you, personally, go to a college that wasn't accredited?

If there was solid evidence of a pipeline towards big tech, then maybe? I went to K-State which is accredited and yet no big tech recruits from there. The only way I got into the big tech game was starting a company in the mid-west and having CTO on my resume.
i work on a very large team and solo for my side hustle. love working solo, no red tape to fight. no waiting 24 to 48 hours for a teammate to review my code per iteration and up to 24 more for it to deploy.

I think the vomiting might be a combination of food sensitivities causing problems and allergies. I ate nothing but meat and cheese for a few days (as I know I don’t react to these) and felt much better, but then I tried to stop taking my allergy medications and I started throwing up again.

I’ve lost 80 pounds before doing elimination, then 60 the last time (if I go back to SAD, I gain weight again).

Today I took Mucinex and Flonase and Xyzal, and haven’t thrown up yet. But there’s definitely some sort of food that I’m eating that exacerbates whatever is already happening. Thanks for the advice.
Would you, as a student, rather grow the reputation of your non-accredited institution by demonstrating over time that you don't match the prevailing prejudices against it, or would you rather go to an accredited institution that people can see with a little research, is not a diploma mill?

A quick Googling gives this quote:

When coal is burned, all the uranium daughters accumulated by disintegration—radium, radon, polonium—are also released. The
United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation evaluates the radiation exposure to the population from this source.2 Per gigawattyear (GWe-yr) of electrical energy produced by coal, using the current mix of
technology throughout the world, the population exposure is estimated to be
about 0.8 lethal cancers per plant-year distributed over the affected population.
Table 7.2 summarizes these data. With 400 GWe of coal-fired power plants in
the world, this amounts to some 320 deaths per year

With Roe V Wade overturned recently, this seems a bit tone deaf.

The beliefs are being much more than represented, they’re being mandated and legislated and protected unfairly.

Nobody has opposed the existence of churches or religious institutions in any major political setting for a long time. That’s what representation means, that their right to exist and operate is protected. It’s not being attacked.

I’m a devout follower of Neaus Christ, but calling myself a Christian in modern America makes me absolutely sick to my stomach these days. I’m nearly ashamed of what that means for this country.
We spend literal trillions on waging war. Every rocket fired in Ukraine today would pay for solar panels for a house or two. It's not a matter of money. Look how well we managed to to switch literally all industry to building weapons during the last world war. If we wanted to we could do the same for renewable energy. It's a matter of priorities.

But in actuality, it's much easier to do than that, because renewable energy is not all that expensive or hard to build. In many scenarios it's profitable to build it today, but bureaucracy is in the way. The proper market incentives and a bit of legislation would probably be enough to have private industry take over.
A specific analogy doesn't have to be used forever. You can drop it when it starts being problematic.

I think an officer approaching you makes you party to the interaction. I wouldn't shut mine off in this case, and I'd happily face court if an officer approached me while simultaneously claiming I'm not party to the interaction.

The officer's approach to my person is the only the interaction I'm videoing at that moment. Anything else is incidental.
I've never seen solid evidence, that the public would be able to see, of a pipeline to big tech except at Stanford, and maybe Harvard, because that's what people talk about and put in movies. I am not saying there isn't a "pipeline" anywhere else, just that the pipeline has to be very big and obvious before a highschooler or a midwestern parent of a highschooler would know about it.

If it was really true that nothing mattered except for quality, there'd hardly be a need for universities at all, because students could buy books and self-teach or hire tutors. Nonetheless, that is almost never done, because outward signs like accreditation matter a lot.
We're #7 by count, not per-capita. Per-capita we're #33 (scroll down to the chart sorted by "per 10m").

It’s not a reasonable compromise in many scenarios, ones that the police must be recorded by the public in: crowded streets and public transport, unconstitutional crackdowns on protestors, being cornered by cops in semiprivate areas, and so forth.

The police have no such right not to be recorded. They are afforded legal recourses against interference, but simply recording them does not constitute interference in any reasonable sense.
> TikTok is technically not a Chinese company

I guess the economist has it wrong then:

> As the first consumer-facing app from China to take off in the West, TikTok is a source of pride in Beijing. But the app’s Chinese ownership makes politicians elsewhere uneasy about its tightening grip on their citizens’ attention
Open internet is already dead.

Now the question is if West defends or is it up for grabs for other countries that already built their own walled gardens.

Less significant in and of itself, is the fact that this is not the first new college I've heard of being founded in the last few years, at a time when overall undergrad college enrollment is in decline, and a few colleges have recently either closed or merged with other institutions to make one college smaller than the two were when separate.

This would seem to be contradictory, if it is interpreted as a result of less demand for post-secondary education. It makes more sense, if it is the result of a dissatisfaction with current US post-secondary institutions.
A lot of the other Chinese apps were clones. TikTock was a novel improvement to the crap of Twitter and Facebook, etc. And it's algo is(was?) very "good"
By predictably bad, it means that the model said it would be bad and it was bad. There are also "unpredictably bad" outcomes. E.g. if 19 out of 20 that are about to receive investment are bad, the claim is that the model could identify and eliminate ~10 bad companies at that point and let you invest in a portfolio where only 9 out of 10 companies are bad.

The paper has a thorough discussion about the "selective label" problem, which is largely why the claim is in this form.
Lessons from Gitlab’s Postgres Schema Design
In what world does it make sense to allow a country who blocks access to their market unrestricted access to the US market?

If china is a rival to the US, why do they have one of the most favorable trade deals?
Yes because things can be restricted due to legal precedent determined by a judge, rather than due to a law, but a law can redefine it to be less restrictive. Imagine as a hypothetical (I know next to nothing about AZ law) that AZ had a law that said cops could enforce a minimum distance from which you could record for safety reasons. Hypothetically, a court case could rule that a cop that wouldn’t let people record from under 25’ was following said law. There’s no law that specifies 25’ in this hypothetical, but now there’s a court precedent that effectively sets it at that.

So the law defining it as 8’ just gave everyone 17’ feet of freedom.

Also state laws can legalize something that was federally illegal, sort of. See marijuana legalization. (This is really technical and rests on the commerce clause and is debatable, but what’s not debatable is people can now open up a shop and sell weed without ending up in a federal prison whereas before they could not, so freedom has increased.)

As pointed out, the idiomatic way to do this is to use the try operator (`?`).

But to answer your question about copies : Rust is a move-only language, copies are actually called `.clone()`, except for a few types which are cheap enough to copy that they implement the `Copy` trait.

So in the code you quoted, the match is done on the value of `result` (notice that there is not borrowing/`&` operator). The match arm `Err(err)` moves `err` out of `result` and returns it. Obviously, the compiler will optimize away all those moves, it's as if they did not exist.

"If nobody is getting up close to cops"

Someone is recording a Cop 20 feet away. THe cop notices them, doesn't like it and starts walking towards that person thereby reducing the distance and once they hit less than 8 feet, boom it is illegal even though the person did not move. This is what will happen when someone is recording a Cop and the Cop is pissed at them. Now what ?
Are you comparing the utility of elevators to the utility of private jets?
Yup, I loved both those games. SimEarth in particular would be fantastic for a remake... lots of stuff you can learn about climate change from that game. Maxis did such excellent work building the systems that you could probably work from the original sim logic and build something massive in Unity mostly focusing on the graphics.
Maybe this move would accelerate the computational biology a little further, no?

BTW, I really welcome putting brakes on whole this animal testing stuff. I'm not really comfortable that it's still going on.
No. My personal computer costs a little more than double my phone cost. Both are relatively new at this point.

You should also include as a datapoint how long they keep their devices.

I tend to keep the same personal computer for several years, but the longest I have kept a phone is 3 years.

Heck, previously, I went through 4 smartphones all while using the same laptop.

The Catholic Church, despite any other misgivings one might have, has always been open about the "mission" aspect of their establishments. I would not call this indoctrination: they offer to teach you a trade and earn a BA in Catholic theology; knowing that education in the US often puts you in dire straits financially speaking, this place could make a difference for many people.
I actually agree with you there. I was just trying to imagine a scenario where it made sense from Sagan's perspective.

Doesn't the school have to open first, and then get accredited later? Or is it possible to be accredited from day one?
So if you're filming from 20 ft away and a cop walks towards to and yells at you to stop you can film until he's precisely 8 ft away, right?

What if you have a line of cops holding hands and forming a 10ft radius around you? Can you film? What if they start rotating and stepping in and out?

The law is dumb and redundant (you can get in trouble for interfering just fine with the laws on the books today). This is plain and simple intimidation.
It's already illigal to interfere in police business. You can do this through many mean, not just being within 8ft filming. By lowering the bar for interference the government can now argue that anyone in 8ft for any reason cannot film. It's also in violation of the 1st amendment, as many of these pro-policing laws tend to be.
I'm sure every cop will pull out their ruler and measure it out accurately lol
