>Meaning we should not dismiss opportunities for talks and hopefully a settlement/armistice, because we think we can't bear to deal with a supposedly uniquely evil regime/act*.

I don't see what that's got to do with it, we are put in the position of having to deal with people like this all the time. Just look at North Korea. Unfortunately it's a political reality because ousting these people isn't always feasible, and sometimes we can in some way limit the damage they're doing by making deals with them.
It was probably imprecise to say "most", because I suppose I don't know the proportional breakdown of which crimes led to all of the convictions, or the breakdown of what all the crimes are.

That said, I think most property crime is motivated by desperation, and prison rarely does anything to help improve the lives of someone who only resorted to anti-social behavior because they had little other choice. So I think most robbery should only be punished because of the violent aspect, and most burglary should be "punished" with halfway houses or a system like the Civilian Conservation Corps. I also think drug related crime is a huge waste of time, and that the damage caused by drug dealing/smuggling/manufacturing is a fairly direct result of it being illegal, rather than intrinsic to the "industry".

I think the justice system would need to be entirely reformed before it would make sense to reduce prison sentences for violent crime like murder, rape, or kidnapping. Though I think we're doing more harm than good throwing such people in prison for decades without any real rehabilitation involved.
They did add meeting numbers recently at least.
Turns out the raid was conducted with respect to the words “marked classified,” and in response to a subpoena. To be clear, “marked classified” documents remain so, because the president doesn’t personally operate the declassification stamp, nor is there any formal process for declass if one holds the authority. Even this DoJ doesn’t want to engage such an obviously specious argument about classification status.
Genuine question: what part of the Constitution are they flouting?
Hey software engineers! I've published another article about software architecture - this time it's building modular systems with Redis. More than the usual "Hello world" tutorials, it is a hands-on experience with Redis in actual large software project. Architecture diagrams, recipes, code samples, all in all a great reading for the coming weekend. Written in collaboration with Redis! Enjoy!
I'm guessing they did it for similarity with the chromeless browser windows that created all kinds of security problems at the early 00's for every browser, except Firefox, that gave the control of the chrome appearance to the user instead of the site.

Or maybe it's for similarity with the xul applications, that created security problems by the second half of the 00's because they got control of the chrome appearance.

As a rule, every time browsers gave control of the chrome to the content, it went badly. It's the kind of problem that can certainly be solved by creating the right set of capabilities, but the Firefox developers decided to focus on some other problem.

> This is a very surprising choice.

I believe that it's not too surprising if you know that most of their users are from HN.

The HN comments on every telemetry-related post that I've seen have been violently, overwhelmingly, religiously against telemetry (not tracking - telemetry proper) in any form.

Even if those comments aren't representative of the views of the readers as a whole, if you're building a company and those comments are your biggest insight into your users' feelings - you're going to do stuff like this.

(and yes, it shouldn't have to be said that this inhibits security, but then again most of the anti-telemetry HN commentators are fine with that)

<<"What was actually said is that if your criteria applies to racist actions there's a problem with your criteria"

Could you elaborate a little bit? I do not want to put words in your mouth.

What is the problem with my criteria? Are the criteria applied inherently racist? Am I racist the moment if I apply them even if they are not inherently racist?

<<statistically speaking, most murders are perpetrated by black men. So statistically speaking, your garden variety racist is right to distrust their black neighbor.

Well, duh. You don't have to convince me. As any city-dweller will tell you, as you approach a stranger on a sidewalk at night, you run an internal calculus of expected danger. You typically develop sharp senses rather fast as a result^ that the above is true speaks clearly to the flaw in your thinking. . I am thinking Chicago/New York ( but I would assume it applies to any bigger city really ).

We can talk about whether it is fair or not, but that is the reality of our current existence. You want to change it, change the proportions and start putting more whities in jail ( I am all for increasing accountability; maybe things will improve in general if the laws are applied across the board ). Alternatively, we can try seeing what can be done to ensure less crimes are committed in urban areas so that whites don't flee to suburbs.

<<^ that the above is true speaks clearly to the flaw in your thinking.

What is that flaw?
I have experienced this first hand, so this article resonates a lot with me.

I worked with a manager who prioritized work which was easily measurable, so he could report the good numbers to leadership and get career points out of this. Unfortunately the project we took on was a demanding and technically challenging problem, and in almost a year of work of a team of engineers we made barely any real progress or made any actual difference, but the numbers were great and people were satisfied during presentations. I ended up feeling completely disconnected from my job and losing all motivation to work there.
I saw that in the video on the front page. It looks like a killer feature. I use DDG currently and am starting to get annoyed how Wikipedia is almost always the top result for any broad term.

I'm not sure it's a $10/mo killer feature, though.
It is clear you are not a mathematician. When we write something like:

x^2 + x + 1 = 0

And say solve it we are definitely not asserting that the two expressions are the same. Indeed they are not the same polynomials and if your view were correct we wouldn’t spend time teaching how to solve the equation. There are values for which the two polynomials evaluate to the same number. Those are the solutions.

EDIT: In mathematical logic class one talks about predicates and you learn to think of equations as assertions that two expressions are the same. However, as people typically use and think about math they don’t think in these terms. Indeed, the graphical interpretation of an equation in one variable lends itself to the idea that solving an equation, in essence, is finding values of x that make two functions have the same value.

It is also equally clear that you haven’t taught basic mathematics to innumerate students. When students are taught to solve basic linear equations we include in our instruction that they can encounter situations like:

x+1 = x

And that they can see there is no solution because they reduce the equation to solving 0=1 and that equation has no solution.

You are in an absurd position when you think

0x = 1

is an equation but that

0=1

is not. I doubt that when you simplify:

x^2-2x - (x^2 -2x)

You write 0x^2 + 0x. What I wrote about solving equations has an important word in it. Namely “essence”. In essence…. I was not providing a mathematically rigorous definition. Indeed, the rigorous definition is far beyond the scope of students of basic mathematics. So we have to teach them the essence of things.
Sure, that's what I meant by "once CD quality digitized audio became cheap enough to store". Both the fact that once games started to be shipped on CD, they could literally play audio tracks straight from the CD, and the fact that faster CPUs and better codecs made it feasible to ship compressed audio and decode it in realtime.
They're communicative in intent. All I'm trying to say is that they're explicitly not tied to the economic damage of the tort. And that, constitutionally, there's a cap on punitive damages: due process prevents courts from just making up ruinous sums on the fly.
Bloomberg Alternative Data (Second Measure) | SWE, Data Scientist | New York, San Francisco, Princeton, NJ | On-Site (Hybrid) | Full-Time

Bloomberg is hiring engineers and data scientists to transform how our clients use alternative data. The acquisition of Second Measure (YC S15) in December 2020 was the starting point for this transformation and we've recently released a new and exclusive transaction dataset. We are adding more datasets and doing more analytics to produce valuable insights into company performance and consumer behavior.

Here are the current open roles:

Data Platform Engineer - https://careers.bloomberg.com/job/detail/108170 (I'm team lead for this one)

Data Scientist, Core Data - https://careers.bloomberg.com/job/detail/94906

If you have questions or you're data scientist or engineer and are interested but don't quite fit those roles, feel free to email me at tcorley3 at bloomberg.net. We have ambitious hiring goals this year.
Don't get me started on traffic laws. People lost their minds on the roads around the time the COVID lockdowns started. I've always been anti-car, but the kind of insanity I see all the time now (people running red lights, driving on the wrong side of the road to go around traffic, driving on the shoulders on the freeway to bypass congestion) happens almost every single time I get in a car now. In particular, people here run red lights and drive on the wrong side of the road to make left turns constantly.

It sounds anecdotal, but there's plenty of data to back this up: https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/early-estimate-2021-tra...
The Chinese public have invested in quicksand represented as a low quality housing stock pyramid scheme the CCP is barely holding together with control economy duct tape. Perhaps domestic consumption is lower than the US is due to this higher savings rate, but lets not pretend that savings is going into productive enterprises.

With China aging very rapidly and a total fertility rate that will decline below 1 in the next 2-5 years, doesn’t make much sense to save for a future with limited returns (time value of life vs money and so forth).

sqlite is as good at durability as any non-replicated database, though you can configure it to be non-durable (most other databases too tbf).

By default WAL mode can rollback committed transactions in cases of power failure, but you can do `PRAGMA synchronous = FULL` to trade speed for durability.
> You know you’re getting a little scammed at the dealership, but the risk of a complete lemon feels much lower (and you have someone to complain to post-sale if things don’t go well).

But that's my point. It's only a feeling, and likely not reflective of reality. And in most cases, no: You have no one to complain to. A lot of used cars have fairly low warranties (a few months, maybe?). Most problems will not occur in that short window.
They're pushing it as fast as they can — all web users are potentially their users, so promoting efficient use of the web is their business.
Seems like the real point here is that it's not worse about Twitter, but about industry security in general. Which was my impression when I skimmed the initial whistleblower complaint. It clearly wasn't great, and "Twitter’s leadership was [...] apathetic, ineffectual, or dishonest" certainly resonated with my short stint there. But I've heard worse stories from bigger, more important places than Twitter.
You can induce demand too. Somehow they'll have to limit that demand.
This "whistleblower" made me finally close one of my private accounts, turns out the official data export is much more complete nowadays - including private messages and an easy to use static HTML page. I'm surprised that such a "zero trust" system isn't established at Twitter yet, considering the size they were operating in.
This is an overly simplistic model of the politics. Roughly a third of Republicans are pro-choice. Roughly a third of Democrats are pro-life. And half of the country identifies with neither political party. Some parts of the country are socially conservative and politically libertarian, with a cultural norm of not legislating personal beliefs. These groups are not uniformly distributed throughout the country.
And yet the rate of mass shootings has doubled since the 90s.

Yea, the calculators really help show how wild it is. I could outlive Earth's sun by simply accelerating away at 1.25G for ~35 years (ship time), not to mention how stacked I'd be from the workout of merely existing at 1.25G for half my life. The very concept of simultaneity is completely whack at such distances, times, and speeds.

I also had the experience where I placed an order on ford website, routed it to a dealer who agreed to honor the online price. 5 months later, when the car was delivered onto the dealer lot, they wanted 10k more.
Not really, they're either retired or buying property to park money, like the rich Chinese are doing in Vancouver and Auckland. The issue is that they already bought real estate and drove the prices up, so now is the perfect time to extract taxes from them.

The Lisbon downtown is cruise ship territory anyhow, I fully understand why a group of youths was protesting against (those kind of) tourists. They treat every city like it's a theme park.

I think the issue is that it's harder to tease apart why you want to harm the business. Sure, you might say "they screwed me over, and I want to hurt them", but maybe you're lying, and it's really "they're of a race I don't like, and I want to hurt them" or even just "the owner was rude to me, and I want to hurt them". Those aren't defensible reasons to publicly attack someone, or their business.

But if you claim that you just want to protect future potential customers from having a bad experience, that shows some level of emotional detachment from the experience that you yourself had, and makes it seem more likely that you're being reasonable instead of just lashing out, and possibly exaggerating or even lying.

Certainly this isn't an iron-clad, 100% reliable heuristic, but it's not terrible.

And on a higher level, I think we just need more positive process in the world. Trying to protect others is positive; getting revenge is negative. Revenge serves no useful purpose, and often the revenge seeker doesn't really find what they're looking for (emotionally) after getting revenge. It's just toxic all around. Now, that shouldn't be a legal consideration, I don't think, but from a social/society standpoint, maybe it's important.
I suggest starting with the companies and key public employees.

> If I were to do it in PostgreSQL 14 natively without any other third party plugins, I can get help of Table Partitioning (say root server) + Tables on Foreign Servers (say leaf servers) through FDW. Parallel scans and JOINs are allowed. Also, PostgreSQL 15 (in beta now) will allow parallel commits to foreign server tables through FDW.

I wish you all the best in operating that at scale and providing a reliable general purpose PostgreSQL DBaaS (even if only internally) around it. :-) PostgreSQL is great, not going to argue otherwise -- every solution has tradeoffs and if the tradeoffs of one solution fit your usage best then go with it. If you need to scale out and manage a large cluster of PostgreSQL instances as if it was a single logical database then I'd recommend something that's in a similar space as Vitess and PlanetScale -- Citus and Citus on Azure respectively. At the hand waving level it's always easy to "do this, and that", but it's a whole other matter when you develop a general purpose production-grade product that anyone can use and operate at virtually infinite scale. :-)
Ah, yeah. This is meant for companies to pay, not individual people, then the company would roll this out as a carpooling initiative. So, companies would pay a small monthly fee. Maybe I should make that more clear. Thanks for the feedback.
We must return to fundamentals.

These are not fundamentals. Overtone window has shifted out of its initial position completely, but browsers ignored it for two decades and offloaded that to webapp developers. Web 2.0 is not a browser, it is what became possible with everything people have built outside of it, on top of “take it or leave it” attitude. Web 1 is an archaic network of winword-level documents that is a huge step backwards in ui, ux, common sense.

We must not return to anything, browsers must get their ass up and running towards what other people achieved through hard work despite all the obstacles.
Yes, quite easily I’d suggest. I’ve built a GitHub analytics tool on top of their api. Primarily for internal metrics & tracking community engagement. The api makes a lot available, it’s very open. For public repos you can get lots of stats around activity and community engagement that would enable monitoring/projecting growth.
