A buddy got pulled over by a cop who gave him a warning and then told him he recommended for him to remove his sigsauer sticker because people will walk through a parking lot looking for trucks typically with weapons manufacturer names and break in looking for a weapon to steal.
Indeed!

I also have a Nikon D40 (2006) and it is still a perfectly great camera which I use fairly often. I only upgraded to the D7100 to have better physical controls. But I keep the D40 charged (charge lasts about 6 months) and with a small lens so it's ready whenever I want to grab a smaller lighter camera.
Accurate or not, so we really want companies installing microphones all over where we live that sends the data to the police? That is worse than 1984 because in 1984 the police didn’t have ai profiling everything it finds. Ie, imagine a company that was competent who did this
Hi HN, I've been playing with CRT filters this last week [1, 2, 3], and I end up creating this simple way of faking a CRT filter on my website. What's your opinion on it?

True, but that was not the reason it was abandoned initially.

Back then multi-core CPUs were not much of a thing yet.

The reason it was abandoned is because people were told OpenGL on Windows Vista was going to be implemented through a compatibility layer that was going to be slow.

Any guesses what those storage technologies capable of scaling to TWh levels will be?

Also, before wind/solar the grid was built to a small factor over the expected peak. Aka maybe 120% of yearly peak which also compensated for downtime and repairs.

These renewable overbuilds are probably 3x-10x in capacity because it is not unusual for say a wind farm to be producing at single digit percentages of its nameplate capacity. In order to be in those lower overbuild ratios though you need ever larger amounts of storage. So it is an ugly curve, and one that will be in competition with carbon sources in many places due to politics, or simply economics.

I’ll leave open the possibility that it’s everyone else that’s wrong but RCTs are used to establish causality and are as much “proof” as you’re gonna get in science.

Hell ya know what I’ll just let the actual paper explain it.

> The second, more important advantage of randomized field experiments is that they can distinguish causation from correlation. The ability to prove causal relationships derives from the combination of two characteristics. The first is having a control group, that is, a group unaffected by the intervention (in our case, publication of a Wikipedia article on the topic) that can be used as a counterfactual to estimate the size of causal effects. The second is randomization, that is, random assignment into the control and intervention groups. With sufficient data and a sound experimental design, the experiment can reduce the probability of being misled by correlation or noise to whatever arbitrarily small value is desired.
I'm not sure any governments are "capitalistic" per se, though many embrace markets to varying extents. As the sibling comment points out there Nordics are all VERY market oriented (more-so than the US/Anglospehere) and have strong welfare states. As for the US it varies a lot state by state, and most of the really egregious shit is done by municipal governments.

But none of that really matters because the US/West was never carting people off to work camps for something their children let slip in school, which the USSR and GDR did for decades.

This is an oversimplification. If someone is in your house and especially if you have kids you are going to do whatever you can to protect your kids not have a conversation with the burglar or warm him off with aiming a weapon. You don’t know if he’s armed and what he’s capable of, just that he’s in your house and potentially everyone’s life is in danger. I agree with you when someone steals a car from the front yard and the homeowner has legal basis to shoot that person over their car but in my home? It’s life or death.
> I think that MS here is being used as a convenient scapegoat.

Yup, the fact that many prominent desktop people from that era refute that here, that all the links in the article point to TheRegister, and that nobody else seems to remember it happening that way - it is probably safe to disregard it.
They should only be years behind given very unlucky timing, ie, upstream releases a new version right after the stable feature freeze.

I don't know. An hour of TV is one drama show, or two sitcoms, or half to two-thirds of a movie. Complete with setting, plot, character development, story arcs, and some drama and/or comedy. Chances are I'll remember more than 10% of that. Especially since I don't usually watch more than that in a day.

Tiktok, reels, stories, etc., on the other hand, are just like watching a constant barrage of seconds-long commercials, often even shorter than traditional TV commercials were. And without the catchy jingles that stick in your head for years. Of course they'll be less than 10% memorable.

It seems strange to me that for so many years people complained about commercials, hated them, paid extra to watch shows without commercials, etc. And now it's the hot new popular trendy thing for people to watch them for hours on end?
Well in the context of this argument, it's moreso that a black fellow isn't racist towards black people because s/he is black... which tends to hold.

Also it's my experience that if an all black community decides to enact public policy that goes against the narrative, it's almost exclusively young white progressives that come up with these sorts of agency-removing arguments to protect their preferred worldview
“Corruption” is an easy scapegoat because it allows the electorate to believe that a new, clean and strong politician can solve all their problems. The reality is combination of low civic sense (why litter in the first place?), under-resourced enforcement (who is going to stop me from littering?), limited funding for infrastructure because of a lack of independent revenue sources available to city administrations, and bad policy that makes city administration effectively a puppet of the state (provincial) governments. In all this, corruption plays a role in making a bad situation worse.

Personally I like the idea of using Matrix (the E2EE, decentralised chat system) as a backend for websites.

It potentially spares website creators from worrying about user management, encryption, data persistence, data portability, and some aspects of scaling. Also, it allows users to give sites permission to access their data, and to revoke that permission.

Perhaps it's not accurate to call this "promising", as I don't think anyone has promised that this will be possible, but I think the web would be more open if a substrate like this were used more.

It depends on your field, but most fields publish review articles.

The security issues all would stem from the imagery simply being available to the public at all (and even then it's a stretch, most criminals/terrorists whatever will likely scout an area before doing anything anyway).

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a type of network which establishes a secure and encrypted connection over the internet by creating a encrypted tunnel between our device and the internet. So, it basically imitates a private network over the public one. Using VPN, we can hide our IP address and the location, prevent exposure of our sensitive data and protect our privacy.

Not exactly an answer to your question but also from finance. A fun moment after the 2008 financial crisis came when a lot of pundits were trying to call the bounce. Everyone kept going on MSNBC and the like saying that “the second derivative was positive” and saying that was a sign the economy was about to turn around. I was watching one day and yet another person said that for some indicator (maybe nonfarm payrolls?) the second derivative was positive and therefore things were about to get better when Mohammed El-Erian (who was also on the program) said dryly “There are lots of analytic functions where the second derivative is consistently positive and the first derivative is consistently negative”. There was a stunned silence.

To add to this, the reason it’s important for TypeScript to support string literals as values instead of using enums or something new is interop with existing JS. For example, think of an event handler where you pass the event name as the first argument; you can ensure at compile-time that an invalid event name isn’t passed.
Not OP, but probable cause is not "made up evidence." If there's a report of a noise that sounds like a gunshot, and that results in a search of people who are running, and that search finds an illegal gun, that's reasonable.
Sometimes, when I can tell during a hiring process that it's just not working out, I do ask companies why they ask for a photo and a date of birth.

The answers generally are:

- "We've always done it this way" - Well sorry to hear that, but that's not a reason

- "Everybody does it this way" - Well, I'm a candidate and I can tell you that no, only 10% of companies are doing it this way

- "We want to get a first impression of the person before we invest time to look at them closer" - The first step in your application process is a 15min call with an HR person. Do you really need a step before that to reject someone based on age or ethnicity or gender?

I dug up the story behind that 65 year old grandfather.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/criminal-justice/ct-shot...

Prosecutors accuse him of shooting his passenger, but he claims that another car pulled up next to him and shot his passenger instead. In either case shotspotter both correctly identified a gunshot and the location of the gunshot, so what exactly did they do wrong here? By the defendant's own admission the gunshot that triggered the alert was real! Unless crucial details are being omitted somewhere it seems like a hatchet job to me.

Ah, then it must be racism keeping white people out of the NBA, right? Maybe not intentional racism, but the outcome is racist. Or Jewish people are overrepresented in Congress - I'm not saying it's some kind of intentional cabal, but you can't deny that it's a "racist outcome". Very few Chinese and Japanese people, per capita, are arrested for violent crime in the US. Is this because the police intentionally avoid arresting Chinese and Japanese criminals or do they subconsciously avoid arresting them because of implicit biases? Or maybe there is some other, much simpler, solution.

The reason violent crime enforcement disproportionately affects black people in the United States is because black people disproportionately commit violent crime. Black people, for example, commit most of the murders in the United States despite not being most of the population.

It is not racist to notice and react to crime. On the contrary, it is racist to insist that law abiding black people, the vast majority, endure high rates of crime. Reducing and hobbling law enforcement necessitates that citizens who might be protected are not.
That is the million dollar question. But perhaps quantitative research would show that there is a golden balance, where a particular centrist set of policies actually can attract a significant set of voters?

I haven't downvoted you. But this story (ie that told by your interlocutor) doesn't sound credible to me. The fault line in Northern Ireland isn't religious, but between (Irish) nationalists and (British) unionists, for which Catholic and Protestant identities are only proxies.

There is a long history of Protestant involvement in the Irish nationalist movement, up to and including the Troubles. The lead trainer for the IRA during that period (whose name I'd have to look up) has given interviews emphasizing that religious identity was not a valid criterion for target selection. If I remember correctly the interview is in the first or second episode of the recent BBC series on the Troubles.
