But the interpretation of the law likely will - as soon as a judge rules you were 9 feet away and so ok, that establishes a precedent, based on this law.
This is a nice write up.

The dark side is that they've put years into developing the core infrastructure to empower their Lisp game journey. Ideally that's all usable by others to "stand on the shoulders", so to speak, but that's always a challenge.

I honestly have never had to work on a "running image" of any consequence. I've never worked on anything more than a few thousand lines of code. I've never needed any kind of source level "step" debugging. The ability to redefine a function quickly, I just throw in some prints to figure something out.

Reloading the entire source file was always fast enough to now warrant hunting down any of the more interactive mechanisms available. This is all across using simple vi, or emacs, or even LispWorks.

(defun l () (load "src.lisp"))

Just save the file, and type that.

All that said, my current low level fantasy is something akin to Electron, only with Common Lisp. First class DOM, first class event hooks, into a CL runtime that you can deploy cross platform. Dunno if that exists or not.

I'm sure at some point my codebase will grow to the point where I would need to "level up" and become more intimate with SLIME, packages, system definitions, etc.

I've just not crossed that threshold yet.
Wow, that was... an overreaction.

Nobody stated that you have to "wave a flag out of [your] ass." I merely pointed out that "devout" has a particular meaning that seems to be in conflict with the notion of being "sick" to admit that you're Christian.

In my (Roman Catholic) theology classes, and many decades of religious study, I was always taught that part of being Christian is to not be afraid of what other people think of you being a Christian. That accepting persecution for your faith is a very basic act of faith.

I merely suggest you use a word other than "devout" to describe your relationship with your faith. "Adherent" might work. But as there are many different types of Christianity, perhaps your line requires less devotion, or a different type of devotion than mine.

I'm not sure what a "journey" is, but I wish you well with your life and your interest in improving your relationship with God.
I don’t see language that excludes personal interactions with LE ; help me understand?
That begs the question: it assumes that that _is_ the "established" male approach. Moreover the premise of the article is that he's discovering that it is an approach that, increasinly, isn't working for him, and is a road to a lonely middle age.
Sounds like standard SOC2 cargo cult security.You're not secure until you spin around 5 times and say the magic incantation while documenting that you've done it for the audit.
I find this very noticeable here in HN. Every time something new pops up, some people are very quick to dismiss, criticise the author for making another "X", or to ask "why would I need this" without doing an iota of research. Well, maybe the post is not for everyone.
Football club founded by Turkish immigrants causes stir in Germany (2021)
The law specifically calls out the case of passengers in the car being allowed to film a traffic stop.
Same could be true of human programmers though. Except those on HN, of course ;)
same, I think the argument for open internet can only be made by example. However, there is no domestic political mileage in maintaining that position, vs plenty of political mileage in china bad policy making. He is out of office but we are in the trump timeline
Humans live a LONG time. While you don't have to "drop out" to study biology, I don't believe that you can fully experience such a field without making it a full-time thing for a while. You can go get a masters in some arcane area of biology and only sacrifice 2-3 years of your 40 year career. I asked if my lack of a biology degree would be a hindrance. My advisers answer was "no", and that a) they need people who think like engineers, and b) you get dropped onto the forefront of knowledge and start chipping your way forward. It is very unlike tech work in that respect.
I’ve run into that issue with the incorrect line changes. I think that’s a sync issue between neovim and VSCode. I usually switch to another VSCode tab and back and it goes away. It’s disruptive, but I can live with it. I’ve tried many other vim emulators in IDEs, I’ve even tried going back to vim and neovim, but overall I just prefer the VSCode extension system and these bugs.
15 years? It’s been dominating college campuses since the 60s at least; probably goes back as far as the 20s.

Recall, most of the eugenics movement was started in the US in the 1910s - 1920s

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics_in_the_United_State...

It was wide spread and taught in colleges in the 20s

https://fee.org/articles/the-progressive-ideas-that-fueled-a...

Arguably since 1900, there’s been a steady decline in religion in the United States (slower than elsewhere). It marched through the institutions and now even religious universities are supporting outright sins stated in the Bible (see the split in the Methodist church)
> Maybe this move would accelerate the computational biology a little further, no?

As soon as your code passes unit tests, do you immediately push to production?

And that is with computing where we have a really good understanding of the fundamental principles.

Our understanding of biology is primitive by comparison.

Therefore we have multiple stages with trade offs of cost vs fidelity to production (release to the general public in humans) going from computation to cell cultures to tissue samples to mice to non-human primates to phase 1/2/3 human trials, etc.
You don’t understand Uber’s business model. They want prices so low because that’s how they make money. Lower prices equals more rides. They know that the higher the prices the less overall rides they will get. You thinking that the goal is to raise prices is literally 100% wrong.

In Brazil during their worst recession in decades, they had something like 300k drivers. This dropped the prices to the point where so many more rides occurred that everyone made more money and the customers were happy because the prices were low. That’s what they are going for, not some sort of moat based on raising prices.
In what ridiculous scenario are cops forming a prayer circle around you? I’d assume in that made up world you’d become party to the police interaction and able to continue to film.
Exactly correct. Nobody can have any differing ideals of morality than that. Those ideals are the |abs| correct values and exact center of the universe, and anything divergent must be castigated. There is no gray area. There is no pragmatism.
>The main fear is not that it is a foreign owned app - after all, most people in the countries all over the world are using foreign owned (US) apps - it is because it is the first non-US app used by US citizens which unnerves both the US government and US commentariat

As you can imagine, citizens from other countries are observing this development with great interest.
Yeah, that's why I said "most". Texas is an especially weird case because of their almost total lack of regulation around pricing. From what I gather there were actually a number of power providers in Texas that charged cost plus. I don't know if any of them still exist but I'm sure there's demand for it because it's such a good deal most of the time.
Yeah, well not saying that there are not problems, but there are problems down at the IPCC, seeing they seem to have yet to have made an accurate prediction.

There is a little more possible hope if you go and look at the ReThinkX people and their predictions for energy generation and use transformation, they've been making accurate predictions for over a decade now and offer a little more realistic view into the possible range of outcomes in the future.

If you want a quick start you can get a walk thru at "Just Have a Think" and then make your own mind up as to whether IPCC are the holder of all and every truth card, or not. Link:https://youtu.be/UUySXZ6y2fk

Thinking it's all too late already is a problem on its own, don't give up too easily, do something, anything - one thing is start solar cooking some days, it's easier and better than most people think.
It's hypertailored compared to YouTube and the likes. When people complain about the content they see, be it terrible DIY hacks or something more bizarre, I can't help but wonder what they've done that TikTok recommends such content to them. After dropping a few hints that it's very tailored a few have gotten a bit embarrassed and stopped complaining.

Interestingly it also separates a lot of the users from the rest, people call them [thing]-toks and crossovers aren't very welcome. Kinda like subreddits, but algorithmic.
It seems obvious to me that there should always be a serious imbalance of power away from the police.

That is, they should only feel “comfortable” in any situation and willing to carry out any action if they feel like they have the support of the local citizens (see also the Peelian principles [1]).

In that vein this seems like another regressive step.

Uber does not pay Social Security, Overtime, workers comp etc. When these people retire they have nothing, this money was effectively stolen from the workers.

Unia has successfully sued Uber at the highest courts and Uber recently lost. Geneva has banned Uber and others are expected to follow. There will now be an attempt to recover almost a Billion USD that is owed to drivers from Uber. [1]

As a dyslexic this is not something that would have helped me. Learning "sight words" in normal fonts as a kid trained me to end up reading faster than most people. Even to this day. What messes me up is odd fonts and poor kerning. I am basically programmed with word based OCR. I love the effort- if you have dyslexic kids I would suggest you do what I did with mine. Make letters out of play dough or clay with your kids. Then they can translate the 2d images into 3d spatial representations.
>This was discussed prior - a police officer standing next to you isn’t included in the defined police activity.

Unless they are enforcing the law. Which they will be, because they will be enforcing this law.
Why would a judge ignore the clause that explicitly states that it doesn't grant any right or authorize any person to record?

At nine feet away, this law has no bearing and the earlier precedent should still apply.
The Arizona PD are courteous and I've never had problems with them unlike the LAPD who tortured and nearly killed me 12 years ago. Marijuana is legal in AZ, and the wildlife is protected, even plants. It's illegal to cut down cactuses. Firearms are legal which means you have the freedom to protect yourself from violent assailants. Free health care (medicaid) is really good there, such that you can see all the specialists you might need. Why do you call it a shithole state?

Having lived in 5 states including NY and CA, I'd call those two shitholes before I called AZ a shithole.
"IF THE PERSON MAKING THE VIDEO RECORDING IS WITHIN EIGHT FEET OF WHERE THE PERSON KNOWS OR REASONABLY SHOULD KNOW THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY IS OCCURRING"

A cop walking toward them from 20ft away won't shift the locus of the law enforcement activity (unless he's dragging the prisoner, I suppose) and this should be ruled out as infringement - it would be a ridiculous stretch to say "the mere presence of a cop means law enforcement activity is occurring".
Good to know, cheers! I may have mixed up PM and PD :)
>and without the permission of a law enforcement officer (LEO). (Sec. 1)

I went to the original text, pasted here. That language is NOT OK. This law does NOT explicitly allow.
Serious question: are you joking or is this sarcasm?

The states can and do regulate food safety. The states, not the federal government, govern motor vehicle licensing. And finally the states do collect taxes. In fact the constitution even permits the federal government to levy an apportioned tax on the states and leave it up to them on how to come up with the money.
Well for one, there's this thing called NATO. For another there isn't constant saber rattling between the EU and US.
Surely that can only work at the will of the government - if I'm the German chancellor and decide I don't like it, I can just tweet that I'll be making a statement outside my front door; the first time all the blogger hacks will show up and get a great scoop; the second time everyone will?

Envelopes should never have non-postal information in the first place. Destination, return address and postage should be all that is allowed, anything else gets your mail returned at your cost.
But why would you want to do that? A heat gradient is just about the least useful form of energy known to man. A large fraction of the total engineering effort of humanity went into trying to make energy recovery from heat gradients slightly less bad and the numbers are still terrible. Compressed gas storage gets a better cycle efficiency than that even before adding heat recovery.
This is an amazing pirouette of logic. I have one simple question: Under this law, is it legal (not suggested, a good idea, etc. just literally legal) to observe the police from within 8ft without filming? If the answer is yes, then this law exists strictly to stop documentation of police (mis)conduct.

I dunno battery battery storage is pretty mature in terms of production, and doesn't depend on a continuous source of CO2 emissions to function.

My house is grid negative from about 11:00 to 19:00 with about 2 months of engineer salary in battery and solar.

It seems like the first and only step available to anyone outside of massive power tycoons, and if I repeat the investment for just a couple more years, it is also the last step.

I think the media reports on anything clickable, but also probably hopium technologies endorsed by energy tycoons to facilitate kicking the can.
I run an education company that has some clubs for kids. One of our families told us about Lichess and used it to start a chess club. We LOVE Lichess and our kids use it all the time at Modulo to play together or with a chess instructor.

We'd love to expand our little group.

If you have a kid (Grades K-12th grade) who wants to play chess with us, please get in touch with me, tell me a little bit about your kid and how you found us on Hacker News and we'll add you to our club! It would be so great to have more fun families playing with us.

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

Less than half of all murders in the US are solved in this "digital age", and the majority of the ones that are, are because of witnesses and informants telling what they know.
A physics professor told me once that pretty much all of current cosmology rules out FTL, but then he said he doesn’t 100% dismiss it due to how weird things in QM keep turning out to be. He said that if FTL were to turn out to be possible it would mean the universe is yet another order of magnitude stranger than we thought due to all the insanely weird implications it would have.

One speculation he threw out was that due to causality issues if you flew FTL you might actually be going to parallel universes without realizing it until you noticed hundreds of years later that your light speed radio emissions never made it home. They wouldn’t arrive because you sent them from another universe. Would also solve the Fermi paradox via a combinatorial explosion of universe X FTL trajectory combinations. Your warp ships never meet anyone else because that would violate causality. One warp ship arrival per universe only.

Edit: thought of an even weirder Fermi paradox answer based on the above. Since intelligence eventually figures out FTL, only one intelligence exists per slice of the multiverse and they will never meet along any FTL hyper-trajectory. Causality protection conjecture gone wild.

Also wouldn’t it suck if your multiverse trip was impossible in reverse? Go to the Centauri system, shoot some cool selfies, and come back to a barren lifeless Venus-like Earth. Every warp drops you in a universe where you are the only sentient life.
And that's the reason people use it.

It eats into the consent manufacturing pipeline that the US has carved out and that's the reason they're really worried.

"Military recruitment is down because of TikTok!" No. There are just service members who are showing what it's really like there.
No, I can't think of any relevant change. I also did a quick search for news stories of people's cameras being searched or siezed under S43 for photographing buildings, but didn't find any major stories.

Is it just me or does 8-10 feet seem like an optimal distance to film from anyway? Who’s shooting productive videos from two feet away?

Even the George Floyd videos were at least ten feet away and they seemed more than adequate.
Yea, professionally for 5 years, though it's been a good 4 years since i used it.

Looking at the release notes, %w was introduced in 2019. So yea, my professional experience with Go predated that. It was all strings back then, and miserable. My team usually used libraries to deal with the shortcomings.

I ended up leaving Go frustrated mostly because of how simple patterns, like Iterators (in Rust) were so horribly expressed in Go. Stretched out into many, many lines of code. All the simplicity of the language left me with no help to manage my actual app complexity.

However i am aware that slowly Go is adding complexity to help you manage real problems. Generics, and apparently sane error handling. I'd love to see them add Enums, as Go's version always felt ... well, just a bunch of consts in userland pretending to be Enums heh.

Maybe one day Go will be feature complete enough for me to look back. Though i'm a big fan of Rust, so maybe not. The only area i feel Go is better than Rust is the way in implements Async, but that's likely more to do with the GC - so, tradeoffs as with everything.
We do better on some things (energy production, automobile, ..) but globally the climate changes remind us that consumerism is way too high, and often hype-driven
I suppose you could call Venice that, but you could also see it as a historical district of the larger metropolitan area. The metro area has a population of 2.5 million. Only 50k live in Venice proper.
Law enforcement activity is so vague it can be wherever the cop says it is.
And given that the police can use laws that don't exist as probable cause which leads to an arrest and conviction [0], I don't think it's unrealistic to expect cops to say "well I thought [the guy filming me from 30 ft away] was too close" to justify an arrest.

Sure, you might be found innocent (on the filming charge), but that's not the point - the cops wanted to stop you from filming, and they won. They might have even seized your phone and deleted the footage, and you have no recourse thanks to qualified immunity [1]. Just you getting thrown in jail and missing work could mean getting fired, being unable to make rent, getting evicted, etc. It creates a chilling effect, which is exactly what they want.

> It's also in violation of the 1st amendment, as many of these pro-policing laws tend to be.

It is, but sadly, SCOTUS will likely find some insane argument to uphold it.

A police officer "enforcing the law" is covered as law enforcement activity. That seems open to (mis)interpretation.

Although if you then get arrested, you'd fall under the exception for persons subject to police contact. So it all works out in the end!
> 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.

What's the basis of social elites are coming uniformly from the population?

I think it's obvious that the social elites in all areas are predominantly from wealthy and affluent families. So the line of thinking of 85% teens corresponding to 85% or some number close elites, is baseless at best, and misleading at worst.
If they are enforcing a law against you, the 8 feet doesn’t apply., you are free to record.

Yikes. Like 90% of the comments on this throw out wild scenarios that clearly don’t apply if you read the law which is less than one page.
The thing that separates good UI designers from the bad are superior hunches and personal preferences.
Then this law is utterly useless, because police could always make someone standing over their shoulder move away. Why did the legislature pass it?

Why did one of the officers at the George Floyd killing walk over to the camera man, and tell him to stop filming? If he has this law behind him, he wouldn't have covered for the murder by also interpreting it in a self-serving manner?

If you're in that situation, what exactly do you think you're going to win by getting into a legal debate with a cop?

The real yikes here is the presumption that the police will behave legally, honorably, and with the public's interests in mind. They don't. It's not in their culture to do it, it's not in our culture to enforce that they do.
People will tell you to not care about losing or your rating, but that didn't work for me.

What worked for me is "the rating I care about is my rating in three months from now, not today", which gives space for learning from losses etc.
Are you trying to draw a dotted line between areligiosity/agnosticism and... eugenics?
Good intention. How do you keep markets free?
Interesting! Do you process RTP media in your instances? If so, and you can share, how do you do fast failover between instances without loss of the media stream?

Im not familiar with DO but on the big 3, none of them can do IP address failover via L2 GARP because of how their fabric works, and doing it at L3 with say BGP is waaaay too slow.
I think GP's point still stands. There is good content on TikTok, but given the time many users spend, the content isn't a good trade for time. Same could be said for other platforms. Tiktok/youtube worry me most since they seem to be the most addictive for kids.

One of the best looking watches I have ever seen. Truly a mechanical pearl. Also looks quite unique in contrast to basically every other watch looking almost the same.
Most of the content I get is original.

The reality is, Facebook is where content goes to die.
