> They don't want to be scrutinized because they are 100% NOT doing the right thing by the book.

Do you think a crowd of angry people are experts in proper police procedure? Is the mob ever objective about what they see? Is a crowd going to understand that when somebody is hopped up on meth/cocaine that maybe they’re going to be hella strong and hard to take down and it’s going to take some actual force to stop them?

You’ll have angry people screaming bloody murder regardless of whether or not the police are doing the wrong thing in some cases.

I agree, scrutiny on the police is good, but a mob of people screaming from a few feet away during an arrest isn’t the thing to bring about a safe outcome for anybody and I can easily see that happening and being something that needlessly escalates a situation.

If you see somebody getting arrested and are concerned about their safety, I’d totally say filming the encounter from a safe distance is justified and a good idea, I just don’t think a crowd of people going a few feet away is good.

Downvote me if you want, I don’t care. I’m just recommending what I think would likely be best for a safe police encounter
It is perhaps surprising to a management class that believes collaboration is the ultimate good in all circumstances and you can never have enough of it.
This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
Now? Strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated (to protect themselves, not others — the current vaccines don’t provide substantial protection to others any more). Encourage people who feel the need for extra personal protection to wear N95 masks and feel comfortable doing so. Encourage anyone who is sick to stay home (which was good sense before COVID anyway). Try to improve ventilation (which is also a good idea regardless of COVID). Encourage students to spend more time outside (again, a good idea regardless of COVID). And accept that outbreaks are going to happen.

There is, currently, no magic bullet available that will work in a school setting.
It refutes your point that digital evidence is enough. It's clearly not. So the original point was correct.
Would companies be willing to contribute to the OpenSSD project?

OCP (Open Compute Project) has shown that customer-operators can cooperate on open hardware designs, successfully influencing enterprise hardware supply chains. Commercial DPUs and SmartNICs were preceded by a decade of open hardware and research by the NetFPGA project (https://netfpga.org). Why not DiskFPGA?

2017 OpenSSD overview, based on Xilinx: https://github.com/Cosmos-OpenSSD/Cosmos-plus-OpenSSD/blob/m...

2022 status, http://www.openssd-project.org/

> OpenSSD platforms are still being actively used in many academic institutions. As of June 2022, we have renewed the homepage hoping that this site will be a forum to share various simulators, tools, traces, etc. not only for the conventional SSDs but also for the upcoming storage devices such as KVSSD, ZNS SSD, and Computational Storage (CSX). This site is being maintained by Systems Software and Architecture Lab. at Seoul National University as a part of the SW STAR Lab. project.
There's always going to be the old Ethereum chain. No one can turn it off if people want to fork it.

>Obviously there are some exceptions to this in the comments but generally, in modern countries where the taxi firms aren’t run by literal mafias and killing people, we should condemn Uber’s behaviour.

hehe love it. In the first world, ...

How about this, I want to arrive at an airport, walk out the front, check a number plate and put my suitcases in the boot knowing that if anything happens I'm not going to be risking 10k worth of stuff.

Oh officer, it was a yellow car that said taxi on the side, you think you'll find my stuff?

In Germany, Berlin of all cities, I had my bagage held to ransom by a taxi driver who "forgot" to start the meter and then decided the 250m we drove was worth an extra 10eur on top of the 15eur trip.

So sorry this is more Uber propaganda, but for the ~1000 Uber reciepts I have in my inbox, I've had few and only little problems. And a lot of these are from a city where people do go missing if they get in the wrong taxi.

Do I love Uber? No. They're sometimes shit. Surge pricing, allowing drivers to pick up a trip and then just cancel, 6 minute arrival timers that are actually 10 minutes away, wait fees from the first minute onwards, grumpy covid mask reminder emails even though I'm always wearing a mask, reissuing fees when they adjust the price and holding extra money on my card until it's all cleared.

But touch wood, I've never been in a crash in an Uber, I have in a taxi (single car, solely the drivers fault), even though it's a 20:1 ratio for journeys I've taken.

Edit: 1051 trips according to my inbox
Because that view doesn't tell us anything.
You could start by not doing estimates? Instead, take an educated guess of the complexity of the problem and then ask how long the enterprise is willing to commit to implementing it.

Estimates are just a way of delegating responsibility downwards. The organisation is rarely asked to estimate how much a feature is worth, despite this being probably the more important factor.
It doesn't seem odd to you to bring race into it? It reads like something from Stormfront, with races swapped.
Well, they do have horses!
I definitely think teachers need (A) understanding of effective teaching methods and learning development and (B) a deep understanding of their subject.

Both are important at all ages, but (A) seems more important at younger ages, where you need to know how to engage children. Kids are also more impressionable. (B) seems more important in middle school and high school. You wouldn't, for example, want someone who doesn't have a background in math to teach calculus.

A 4 year degree certainly isn't a perfect way to impart teaching competence, but it does set a threshold for the experience that a new teacher has. I'd expect more teachers at the back end of the bell curve if you remove the degree requirement.
For perspective, here is a cult the Neanderthals were running 175,000 years ago:

By comparison, Stonehenge happened yesterday, and this other cult was the day before yesterday.
Is this due to their opposition or expanding nato or something else that’s occurred? Or are all these Paywalled things some ycombinator test to see who’ll bother to circumvent it?
But also note that the limitation of liabilities section does not apply to UK, EU, Australian or New Zealand customers.

For example, the statement on Australia:

> FOR AUSTRALIAN SUBSCRIBERS, THIS SECTION 7 DOES NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT OR MODIFY THE APPLICATION OF ANY GUARANTEE, RIGHT OR REMEDY THAT CANNOT BE SO EXCLUDED, RESTRICTED OR MODIFIED, INCLUDING THOSE CONFERRED BY THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW (ACL). UNDER THE ACL, GOODS COME WITH GUARANTEES INCLUDING A GUARANTEE THAT GOODS ARE OF ACCEPTABLE QUALITY. IF THERE IS A FAILURE OF THIS GUARANTEE, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A REMEDY (WHICH MAY INCLUDE HAVING THE GOODS REPAIRED OR REPLACED OR A REFUND). IF A REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT CANNOT BE PROVIDED OR THERE IS A MAJOR FAILURE, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A REFUND.

Which means that removing access to the purchased item, does in fact entitle you to a refund.
I have this really thin digital watch in my pocket that lasts multiple days and is more accurate than any mechanical watch. Also it does loads of other stuff.

But it doesn't cost $1.8 million so it's not great for money laundering purposes.
Having watched a lot of TikTok, I can say they aren't going to get much from the vast majority of that data.
Came here to mention CiTO. See also https://sparontologies.github.io/cito/current/cito.html. It’s been around a long time, from when the Semantic Web was the next big thing.
I mean, is it the affected model?

Have you applied the appropriate firmware update?
I do not think that is true. How do you stay signed into google even though you restart a browser? There is a cookie that is stored and it authenticates you. When you first go to yt.com, it can ask google to authenticate you.. Call a url at google.com with a unique id and the response from that URL will tell yt if you are already signed in. The call to google can authenticate you since the call is coming from a google.com domain.

I am not sure if this is the exact mechanism.. but thinking that everything is origins, domains and websites and ignoring the fact that websites can call other websites (without making it obvious to the user) and they are all interconnected is a very naive assumption.
Not to mention that everybody seems certain that the current theory, Einstein GR, is the final theory and that no new radical theory is possible that could upend everything in terms of possibilities.
We shouldn't wait for publishers to self-regulate. We should have legislation prohibiting software lockouts like this.

However, the industry will always find ways around it. For example, some games force online multiplayer gameplay in order to advance your character or unlock stuff. This is 'great' when the game is popular because it encourages people to play the multiplayer, but even a year or two later if the server are up, there may not be enough people to play with/against.

So, the legislation would have to prohibit limiting/locking content or gameplay options, say, if the multiplayer options become unavailable or unusable.
Which profession requires constant 8-10hr a day use of an N95 mask?
The Great Courses, Nat Geo, Discovery

College lectures like MIT Opencoursrware are also great.
Really cool! I liked the "endless nesting" aspect of it, makes it feel different from a simple wiki experience.
Right, but Ubisoft's actions here still undermine trust in Steam. It sucks because it's not Steam's faint, but I think OP is right. This may ultimately be training people to distrust platforms like Steam and return to piracy.
You are not a used car afficionado?

This has been the track they've been on since Brandon Eich was booted for wrongthink. It's a joy to watch, really. Meanwhile Brave is nice.
Hmm, I have AC: Black Flag and I thought it worked fine offline. I will have to check now, because that game isn't much newer than this.
Expecting publishers to behave isn't the answer, since there will always be those who won't behave as well as those that simply disappear.

What is needed is laws that classify games in situations such as this as abandonware and grant users who have paid for the game carte blanche to get it operating. If copyright holders want to maintain control of a title, then there must be certain consumer expectations met under the law.
Yes and no. Ultimately, I primarily blame Ubisoft ( and I do not buy anything that bears their name ), but I am not going to pretend that a platform that sells me something is completely off the hook. They have a lot of market power. They could have put their weight behind it and put Ubi in their place. They chose the path of least resistance.

So they might not be the guilty party, but they are sure not innocent. They are taking the cut of the money. It better be going towards protecting me. If they are not protecting me from bad actors then why am I using Steam?
Yeah you should be playing AC: Black Flag then
There were major community backed PPE donation drives parked outside many hospitals providing nurses/doctors with quality gear as they walked into work.

This is the sort of thing gov will have years to solve but I’m sure many will fail to do it and a bunch of countries will be pushing surgical masks then next pandemic (or Covid 2.0).
Could not agree more with this, and it can scale to small teams. Establishing consistent “velocity” and demonstrating progress is way more important than estimating individual features.
In Asia, actual decent factory-made masks seem to have been widely available for years. I would believe that the effects of people in Asia wearing masks sold in Asia is not the same as people in America wearing masks sold in America.
Another reason games get cracked: the anti-piracy functions significantly impact performance. Time and time again there are benchmarks showing that when Denuvo and other anti-piracy stuff is striped out (the publisher has to pay to license it, per time period), performance dramatically rises.

The rich wouldn't exist without society. They owe far more than the average person. Simply maintaining and storing wealth requires rather complex societal structures; before modern society wealth was only a product of power, because without power any schlub with a dagger would come for you. Today's wealthy need a small entourage of security and bookkeepers, but that's a far cry from a whole-ass army.
I can draw out a plausible model right now that results in net-negative jobs. Driving factors include:

* Food vendors that previously had delivery downsizing their own delivery staff and offloading it to uber eats.

* Restaurants not wanting to pay the service fees to uber eats gets fewer customers from the lowered exposures (as customers start ordering mostly through the delivery app), and eventually shut down.

* Restaurants that previously didn’t do delivery getting less money per customer as the delivery services take their share. And is forced to cut down on their opening hours and some of their staff to make up for the loss.

I never read that article you are referring to—if it even exits. The point was that labor dynamics are more complicated then: If a job is created, someone will work that job.

If we transfer over to the taxi market. There are examples of city government using Uber as an excuse to cut bus lines. Some bus drivers hence lost their jobs, and some companies probably lost their workers as the commute became to hard.
Pro tip. This kind of person should never be involved in drug design unless it’s a follow on project to enter a known market. Google for phase 1 studies particularly of antibodies that ended up killing people. And there are some human conditions lacking animal models or working models (Alzheimer’s for example).

Drug research is time consuming because sometimes the dog dies or the candidate fails to do anything.
I have been thinking about _how_ to build good (and stable) software a lot in last 10 years. Tried many approaches and verified them one by one. In my experience this is the ultimate fix. It may not work for big tech companies, but for most projects, it is much better to choose this approach.

Collaborative efforts to maximize good results, and predictable gains for each participators.
If course we will. Why would that be in doubt?

> Without knowing parts of a codebase are shared between SanDisk devices, it is hard to say that enterprise SAS devices have absolutely no code shared with consumer devices.

Even if the code containing this bug was shared between consumer and enterprise drives, it's not reasonable to assume that it would take SanDisk multiple years to check whether their consumer drives are also affected. The lack of a follow-up report from SanDisk is good evidence that their other products are not affected.
If I read the agreement correctly (and if Matt Levine has read it correctly too :) ), you cannot just walk away and pay the $1B. There were specific reasons tied to walking way and the primary one was not being able to secure the funds. That is not true in this case. There were commitment letters from the banks.
Downvote this if you will, but I feel that confidence in independent content creators has increased.

The likes of Joe Rogan, Tim Dillon, Lex Friedman, Charlemagne and Schulz and other content creators are gaining massive audiences that are both trusting and interested in what they have to say. Viewership for these channels (especially among younger audiences) absolutely demolishes most institutions

> Maybe I’ve gotten cynical, but I was worried that there would be limited retrospection about positions taken during the pandemic given the political sensitivities.

Hopefully we learn from our mistakes and are better prepared for the next pandemic.
Valve's rules are pretty permissive, all-in-all. And like many other people in this thread have already pointed out, many digital-only games can't ever truly be "owned". You're given a license, and that license is subject to terms that you agree to when you use it. It sucks, but this is the path we chose when we decided that software should be a proprietary production.
My experience of the time is from a home computing perspective. From that perspective I saw minimal impact from the 286. I knew many people with 8088 machines and very few that owned a 286. If you walked into a store selling PCs to consumers the shelves were full of 8088 machines but few 286 based ones.

The big change I saw was in the early 90s when 386 PCs with VGA displays became common place. This is when the people I knew upgraded and 8088 machines completely faded from the scene. The killer app driving 386 sales was Windows 3.0.
> What people think is a threat and what is a threat are completely 2 different things.

Meaningless. A threat is by definition subjective and context dependent.

> First of all average people's opinions outside of western democracies are meaningless because those people don't have access to education or information to form any real opinions.

Get off your high horse. Most of the world have a terrible opinion of the US just for the arrogance you just showed. The US education system is in shambles, the divide between can and can't do is the one of the highest in its GDP class. Poverty is just a broken leg away.

> Second of all at least the first research is more or less a complete lie. In Finland people have throughout the history without a doubt kept Russia as the biggest threat.

Russia is seen as a big threat by the Fins. However, in the next conflict: who will supply the arms? Who will benefit the most? Who is likely to incite?

> 3rd, even if we assume that it isn't would be pretty fun to ask those same people the same question again. Finland, Sweden, Australia and Ukraine are begging for the help of US now that the curtains have opened and Russia and China have either started a war already or are threatening to start one.

Fun?
I loved your comment, you've been hiding your light under a bushel.

They're going to get pounded if they try this though, they'll be up to their gills in lawsuits. They're chained to metric whether they like it or not, once you're in league with the EU, they'll slug you, and beat you with rods until you're within an inch of your life if you try to break those links.

And I won't have an ounce of sympathy.
That seems wrong? As far as I am aware WebAssembly is completely architecture-agnostic, and Firefox has implemented wasm VMs for both x86-84 and ARM.
It seems true. Even fundamental data types, like ints, strings, etc. are "objects" in Python. Java has primitive types, like "int", that are not objects (It also has "object" equivalents that can be used for boxing: int primitive => Integer class.)

More on topic, I used to do a ton of perl in the late 90's through the early 2000's. Before PHP gained popularity, it was a simple way to write a web app (perl CGI.) I haven't touched it in over a decade now.
Enterprise SSDs are commonly made by one of a handful of dominant companies and then rebranded by server vendors, so that you can see a SanDisk or Samsung SSD sold as a Dell EMC or Cisco or HPE drive.

Trying to think how to anonymise datetimes hurts my head. You might want to randomise the date of an event. But you also need this random date to be consistent with respect to both the current time and the order of other related rows in the database.
I'm open to alternatives to capitalism. I'm just waiting to see a superior system successfully put into practice and maintained, at an appreciable scale, for multiple generations in the modern world.

Without that, proposed alternatives are great for thought provoking theoretical and philosophical consideration, but are without much utility when it comes to replacing what we have. The system we have now is largely failing us, but it can be carefully reformed into something a bit better. Throwing it out and replacing it with something entirely other isn't something I'd support without knowing exactly what we'd be getting ourselves into and that means seeing it (or something very close to it) at work.

control-f for "mask": 1 match, and it's in a sentence talking about how mask quality and fit is important to preventing infection, but doesn't elaborate on the effectiveness of cloth/surgical vs n95 masks.

On the other hand there are also studies that show it working, eg. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

>The surgical and N95 masks were both effective in significantly reducing the risk of infection, which together with the finding that 30% of non-infected staff did not use masks (table 2) supports that transmission is not airborne.

Do you have better a better study for this, preferably some sort of meta-study?
as I always say about watches, they are socially accepted forms of men's jewelry. after advent of smartphones they are hardly about time anyways. its mostly style & flex. That too in a in-group because most people including many jewelers cant tell difference between and original and a replica for some common mid-high end watches like rolex submariner.

I am actually fine with these 'vanity jewels' for high end buyers so long as they don't end up being a tax haven like art market. its all a way for the money to flow back into society and some more productive good in subsequent iterations. I mean after all its better than a NFT of picture that watch.
Well, as a kid of the era that had an XT, it really kicked off with Wolfenstein on the 286. Doom changed a lot more, but everyone was pissed at the time if they couldn’t play Wolfenstein. Never felt that way for any of the previous games for the 64/128/XT.
