> I was specifically asking if there are examples of people being killed by police for refusing a search without a warrant

No, you weren't. You asked:

"Can you cite any examples of *this* happening? I’m a pretty big policing reform person and follow this stuff closely and can’t think of a single case *like this*." [Emphasis added]

The semantics of that question turn entirely on the antecedent of "this", which is pretty ambiguous in this (!) context.

So I'll revise my criticism of your original remark: you need to be clearer about the scope of what you are asking about. Personally, I don't think it is at all unreasonable to extrapolate the circumstances of the GF case to the potential for the same thing to happen during a border search, but I suppose reasonable people could disagree.

$11.99/month buys you YouTube Premium. I consider that a more than fair deal, and the advantage this nets you is flexibility as long as you can sign in and all I really need is my phone and an AirPlay target if it’s something I want to show my friends without having to rely on their accounts (which a lot of TVs have built-in now).

Outside of the technology bubble/fort we have built around our families and us, the normal outside world is extremely bizarre.

Interesting comments on the reviews:

> It worked for a few minutes before blowing the circuit breaker of gfci switch everytime. Good idea but pulls way too much power on an outlet to really be useful. Also you need to keep the water pressure very low, for it to actually warm up, if the pressure is too strong it won't warm it up quickly enough.

> I'm confused on how to use this. The description mentions use for "Outdoor showers, Pool Side showers" and other outdoor examples, but the sticker on the unit specifically says INDOOR USE ONLY. The instructions say that you must locate the shower head a MINIMUM of 6 feet from the plug, but the cord is only 5 feet 10 inches. Plus, if the head is installed at the minimum height of 6 feet, that means the plug has to be 6 feet high too, since any angle would make it less than 6 feet away. There is no way to replace the cord, no way to hardwire it (as the instructions recommend, which is even more confusing), and you can't use an extension cord. More confusion arises on electrical requirements. It says to use 10 AWG minimum, but the cord is 12 AWG (which only supports 20A). It requires a 30A breaker, and it says it draws 23 amps - but the largest standard receptacle made only supports 20A (L5-20), and you'll only find a 20A breaker on an L5-20 circuit. Any 20A outlet you find will also only have 12 AWG wiring. Beyond all that, I tested it by connecting it outdoors to a 20A circuit. I set the flow rate to 0.75 GPM, and purged the air as per instructions. I started by taking power readings. There are 5 temperature settings; readings were, from Low to High: 9.5A, 13.5A, 16A, 18.5A and 20.3A. So at all settings except High, it was actually within the 20A breaker limit. Unfortunately, it always starts on High when you plug it in. I checked the water temperature with my hand when it was on High, and it was really hot - too hot for a shower, at least 110 F. Then I grabbed the thermometer to take readings, but something happened - I'm not sure what, but it basically broke. On High, it dropped to 90 degrees. My inlet temp was 75. It was still heating a little, but not like before. I adjusted flow to make sure the activation point was reached, but no success. Testing aside, I don't think this puts out enough heat to be effective even if it works as advertised. You would really want to use it when the water is very cold, which means you would need maximum heat, which means running it at 0.5 GPM. You're not going to get much shower at that rate.
Not cheaply

> instead of three: (female-male, female-female, male-male).

One. Male to female. From where power flows to where power is delivered.

There is no reason for F-F or M-M power cables to exist.

The whole point is to have power source never be male as that's exposed, energised metal.
I hate Putin and his regime in Russia right now but Ukraine (atleast from the pictures I’m seeing) seems to be overrun with explicitly neo nazi groups. In my ideal scenario they both take each out without effecting the actual EU.
Imagine if the USG had this power in the 60s and 70s as draught dodgers and war protestors sought to provide an alternative perspective. With this technology and todays psyche, they would have been buried and labeled as foreign agents and bits and what have you. People cannot lose sight of that. We need dissent, even when we're right.

Thank you Pichai for squeezing out more from employees and users.

I am a stockholder, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining!
In my experience when an employer requires travel they allow a per diem amount for food and incidentals. People higher up in the organization — executives and top sales people— usually get company credit cards. I’ve never heard of an employer asking employees to pay all of their meal and incidental expenses out of pocket for required business travel.

I would ask HR or accounting about the company policy for business travel.
The price per person goes down as you get more people signed up.

But at the individual level, I don't think even my wife would be willing to pay that price. You need to get larger groups of people together before it starts becoming compelling enough.
My data point is the opposite, the one time I accepted equity in the form of options, stayed 4 years to vest it all, and got lucky where the company was acquired, the payout before taxes was worth less than if I had simply negotiated an additional $10k before taxes on my salary.

I’m not optimistic for future employers offering me equity actually worth more than cash over the 4 years it takes to vest.
I'm legitimately unsure if you're joking or not.
> “It is why this administration believes that now more than ever,” he said, “prudent regulation of cryptocurrencies is needed.”

They've been researching CBDCs for over 3 years. It is striking and important that these statements were made on the day after the apparent success of the Ethereum merge. It's hard to interpret this as anything other than a shot across the bow of cryptocurrencies.
So let me get this straight - if I broke/lost a phone before a flight (and replaced with spare) - I can expect to be declined entry?

I'd really like a little more getting started advice here. I'm not sure which if any http3 implementations have webtransport support.

I went looking last week for webtransport support, interested in playing around. I thumbed through QUIC implementations[1], and came close to concluding I was just too early to try to use webtransport. Even though it shipped in Chrome 97, >9 months ago.

If you get the cash immediately, then you still buy the stock on the market if you expect it to go up. If the cash also comes on a vesting schedule, if you expect the stock to go up, you could buy call options on the market with expiries that match the original schedule, at the current strike price. Of course this has much more friction and some cost.
Did you get reimbursed?
My guess is it would be like setting up a trap gun and putting a sign on the door warning about it. Still illegal. But I'm a rando on the Internet and a loooooong ways from being any kind of lawyer, and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night, either.

If you have RSUs worth 200k per year, standard practice is that you get one grant of 800k at the start of employment, vesting over four years. If you got 200k cash instead, you couldn't buy 800k stock in the first year. That's an extra 600k of upside exposure.

If that 600k of extra stock appreciates a lot in the first few years, you are far better off with the RSU grant. If it doesn't, you can quit before it vests and try again at a different company, you're not locked in.
If they all wink wink do it at the same time then it doesn’t matter.

Thanks for posting the update on HN, mighil!
Funny seeing the /r/livesound link.

Worked in live entertainment for a while. One cable we would use a lot is called a 'two-fer', it has one male and that splits to two female ends (so you can plug two fixtures into one outlet or dimmer). There also exists a 'suicide two-fer' that is the opposite, you can imagine why it has that name.

I believe I've also seen some 'suicide' cable setups when we needed to make multi-phase power for a motor controller by using different 120v sources. Can't remember the exact cabling of that but someone did end up grabbing a hot male end in that process and got a nice tickle.
This happens in Senate elections. Voters are allowed to vote "above the line" using party lists, but are required to number at least 6 boxes. In the lower houses electorates are single-member, meaning they greatly favour the major parties. Relatively few minor parties bother to run for lower house seats.
USB-C is not genderless. The cable is physically different from the port on my laptop and phone. They're suggesting a connector where there isn't a difference between a "plug" and a "cable".

On my last trip back from Europe in June, when I re-entered the US, US Customs & Border Control didn't ask for my passport. No one did. They did wave a webcam connected to a computer in front of my face, and then a moment later, called out my name and said I could enter. Same with everyone coming through the international border area.

I think that's just as weird a development and worthy of "WTH?" as this topic.

I don't know if we can draw conclusions about racist leanings by backpack stickers that require so much familiarity with historical nazi logos that you can recognize one re-interpreted into a "generic tough guy" aesthetic. Maybe we can! But even if it's the case that there are simply a lot of racists in eastern europe, it's still true that one side is brutally invading a non-threatening neighboring democracy and committing war crimes on a daily basis.

Is there even a single corporation on earth that won't eventually do this? All it takes for this to happen is some executive or manager deciding they want a bonus. Shareholders demand perpetual growth and by god they're gonna deliver it.

I'd say it should be illegal to profitably harm people like this but everybody knows these people always get away with everything anyway. They already break existing laws and get a slap on the wrist at best.

I wrote up a few notes on my Caddy setup here https://muxup.com/2022q3/muxup-implementation-notes#serving-... which may be a useful reference if you have a static site and wanted to tick off a few items likely on your list (brotli, http3, cache-control, more fine-grained control on redirects).

I don't think performance is ever going to matter for my use case, but one thing I think is worth highlighting is the quality of the community and maintainership. In a thread I started asking for feedback on my Caddyfile (https://caddy.community/t/suggestions-for-simplifying-my-cad...), mholt determined I'd found a bug and rapidly fixed it. I followed up with a PR (https://github.com/caddyserver/website/pull/264) for the docs to clarify something related to this bug which was reviewed and merged within 30 minutes.

I used to be a mod of a small subreddit and I was a huge redditor a while ago. It was kind of an open secret that pretty much everything on reddit was manipulated by bots. A huge redditor at the time (unidan) was banned for using bots to pump his posts and comments, and that made bot manipulation a lot less secret for a while.

It's an anonymous site and you don't even need an email address to sign up, so it's very easy to spin up many accounts.

I really wish OmniGroup had the vision and resources to bring OmniGraffle into some kind of shared collaborative editing world, whether by developing a web app, or incorporating some kind of collaborative, versioned backend for "corporate" users.

It has one of the best overall general diagramming/graph layout engines and UI of anything I've used on the desktop and web. My experience in the diagramming, layout and technical-ish drawing realm includes Figma, as well as Illustrator, Photoshop, Pagemaker, Freehand, Deneba Canvas, Mac Draw Pro.

I still love Omnigraffle for flow charts, presentations, UML diagrams, and UI wireframes. It's not a 1:1 replacement for Figma, but it suits many of the same problems.

But its existence as a solo, mac-only, desktop-only app relegates it to my personal projects and I can never use it fully at work.

The stat you are trying to cite relates to graduating college, not simply "going to". Currently the 4 year graduation rate is ~40%, and the 6 year graduation rate only around 60%.

That is an incredible population to have yoked with debt through their most productive years with nothing to show for it.

I also experienced the reverse: programming subreddits, tv show subreddits, and even blogs and mailing lists started telling me to support BLM (which isn't a thing in my country), avoid beating up Asian people (which was easy to do since I was living in Asia), etc

I was there for Javascript tricks and they insisted that I check my privilege. It got exhausting, not because it's insulting, but because the signal to noise ratio of what I came to a subreddit or mailing list to see was way off the mark.

This seems to have improved a bit in the last year or two, since Covid stole the show, but not entirely.

I thought Scott Alexander jumped the gun a bit by declaring victory in this case, just because the prompts used were not the original ones (robot vs. person due to content filters). But Marcus is way off base here and sounding petulant; Alexander is clearly not claiming AI has solved compositionality, his claim is the much narrower one that he won his bet. And the general context to the bet is that usually when he writes an article on AI (at least for the last few years), someone says “we will never get X in the next 5 years”, Alexander makes a bet that it will happen sooner, and X always happens sooner. In this case the X was some loose low bar for the next iteration of compositionality above DALL-E 2 with a multi-year timeframe, and SOTA models at the time of the discussion could (arguably at least) meet that bar.

Alexander’s broad claim on compositionality is that simply throwing more scale and/or data at the problem seems likely to solve the problem, to which Marcus counters that these models lack something fundamental and can’t be scaled to human performance.

FWIW I find Marcus’ position to be a bit frustratingly ambiguous; he seems to blend two distinct positions:

A) NN models are not a model for human intelligence/language

B) NN models cannot reach AGI

He seems to fluidly switch between these critiques in a way I find a bit irritating. I think it’s quite clear that NN architectures have little to do with the way the human brain does language understanding, lacking the gross structure of the brain, which is certain to affect cognitive capabilities and tendencies. So A) is trivially true. But no AI maximalist cares about using these models as a way to understand or model human language. They care about general intelligence.

Even granting A), that does nothing to prove B). Perhaps he simply believes B requires A? That would be odd but would explain his approach.
