Awesome, thank you! Have you attempted transferring those backups from one computer to another? (i.e. upgrading from one Mac to the next)
We're on the internet. When people are interested in statistics, they search for them, then tell you the ones they couldn't find that might change their opinion. When they're interested in arguing, they tell you that it's "most plausible" that they're right although they haven't seen any statistics, and ask you to convince them otherwise.
Crypto itself, or at least the bubble, was an unintended byproduct of low interest rates and lax securities enforcement. The low interest environment is intended to spurn the monied rich into investing in productive businesses, but "innovators" instead invented crypto assets and lauded them as the second coming of Mansa Musa, siphoning nearly a trillion dollars out of the productive economy. Clever crypto "innovators" recognized the monied rich's need to feed their insatiable craving for growth without doing any real work. Now that the government itself is providing that outlet, there's no reason for crypto to continue to exist.

There are. And democracy makes politicians seem more legitimate. Democracy in the wrong place can make corruption worse.

The training is this way because if the gun comes out, it is being used. And guns don't give hugs and kisses...

A gun is a tool, used to remove a threat. The best way to accomplish that is to use it until there is no more threat.

There is no other possible training for this - so yes it's a lot like your gravity analogy, although much colder and unforgiving.

This is not the movies. I can't say that enough. The movies have really warped people's perception of reality when it comes to firearms.

Before you respond - consider this: Why are we focused on the round count and the possible implied lack of training that led to 107 rounds being fired instead of focusing on the clear lack of training that led to the situation in the first place? The round count couldn't literally matter any less...
This is an application (and frequently data type) dependent decision. Some data is safe to return on acceptance others need to wait for acknowledged writes.

I work in R&D where tens to hundreds of millions are spent on talent/materials/engineering to design new high tech materials for the world.

It’s strange that this much effort practically gets about 10-15 years of protection(or less depending on prosecution time with the patent office), while a drawing of a mouse or “moving-pictures” is protected for a century.
At Home Assistant we're very excited about Matter.

Here are some highlights for us:

Open source reference implementation: Google, Apple, Home Assistant, we're all going to be running the same code to be a Matter controller. Chip manufacturers like Espressif and Nordic maintain implementations for their boards in there too, so anyone can now have the software to produce Matter compatible light bulbs. https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip

It will be cheap: The software is freely available and works with a big audience. It's the same reason Android TVs from some manufacturers are cheap, the same will be the case for Matter lights and switches.

Multi-fabric: each Matter device is required to support 5 fabrics. A fabric is a Matter network. This means that you will be able to run multiple home automation controllers at the same time. So when run into the limitations of Google Home or Apple Home, you can try out Home Assistant without taking down your old system.

Easy sharing of devices: Because of multi-fabric, it will be as easy as hitting a share button to get a device added to another fabric. See this example of Android https://twitter.com/home_assistant/status/157703612255503564...

Local: all communication for Matter is happening local between a device, a thread border router (if thread-based Matter), and the controller. Note that your controller can still decide to store your data in the cloud (ie Amazon, Google).

Supported by major systems: Amazon, Apple, Google and Home Assistant are all building the open source Matter code into their systems. It means that for manufacturers it will be easy to pick Matter as the protocol they want to support to reach most users.

Works over IP: Matter works over IP and doens't care how that IP-based device communicates. It means that you can have Wi-Fi based and Thread-based devices co-exist on your network. Thread is not required if you don't care about such devices.

Bridges are part of the standard: Devices like Philips Hue hubs are going to get an upgrade to expose all the Hue lights over Matter via the hub. This makes integrating a whole ecosystem at once into Matter very easy.

Thread: Thread is a mesh networking standard that connects to your Wi-Fi network via border routers. Where Zigbee and Z-Wave need to mesh communicate all the way to your controller, Thread messages will be delivered via Wi-Fi/ethernet as soon as possible. This means it is a lot more reliable and less traffic is going over the mesh. Expect cheap border routers (open source reference implementations) but also expect them in your future Wi-Fi routers, voice assistants, Wi-Fi connected TVs etc.

No, I think the OP is suggesting that the more likely scenario is some professional-class "weekend-warrior" type bought the F150s with the 72m loan, which later on was resold to the working-class construction worker on the secondary market.

One of the worst companies I've dealt with this time around was from an HN "who wants to be hired thread". Poor and conflicting communication, lack of respect for my time, that kind of thing. The company's been posting since late last year, and even made an appearance in the October 2022 thread (albeit this time it was posted by a different user).

I tend to comment on topics I wouldn't want to discuss in a professional setting and so I'm pretty unlikely to ever bother with a "who wants to be hired?" thread.
To be fair, I am a huge proponent of most trademarks. (general shape, color, and such I'm not a fan of)

A trademark means if I buy AMD, I'm not getting "shitty rebrand of chip 10y old by jank fab". Or it means if I buy branded food, I know what I'm getting.

Trademarks are essential for the protection to know the goods you buy from a company are what you're expecting.

And that's why I'm realllllly curious when a whole bunch of big companies sue Amazon for allowing counterfeit co-mingling (or being charged $$$$$ for separate SKUs), relating to trademark dilution. This is straight up provable damage.

the various statistics that have already been brought out in the various sub-posts to your original post.

there seem to be a large number of complaints against police officers in the U.S.

very few of these actually go to an indictment.

of these ones that go to an indictment it seems fewer get heavy sentences in comparison to the rest of the population for similar infractions.

all of this seems to make the police a statistical anomaly in comparison to other people accused of criminal conduct.

Occam's razor would suggest that the reason that police do better than other people in not being indicted, not being convicted, and receiving lesser sentences is because they are police.
I believe would be more accurate to say it's Zigbee over IPv6.

IIRC Zigbee is: 802.15.4 -> "Zigbee"

And my (mostly incomplete) understanding of matter is it's: 802.15.4 -> 6LoWPAN -> Thread -> "The device model of Zigbee"-like Application Layer (for thread devices)
Back in the GPU scalping-craziness days of covid many online vendors limited purchases to 1 per household and that limit was enforced by full name, zip and billing address. With privacy you could generate one time use cards and use random names and fake apartment numbers in the billing address getting past the limit.
It's not a hope though, its a guarantee they will gather some easily scammed people with enough coverage. Some people are not all there perhaps and fall victim to these scams all the time. Those Nigerian prince emails that started perhaps 30 years ago wouldn't continue to be sent today, if they didn't work for a sliver of the population they routinely victimize.

Checks and balances don't work. Just look at the whole student debt issue. Someone sued and the Biden administration changed the rule so that the person suing no longer had standing, taking away access to the courts.

Trying to sue the government from inside the prison system is just naive. And even when it works, it doesn't work. We sued because we were housed in inhuman conditions. Because only inmates in one wing of the prison sued, the ruling only applied to inmates housed in that wing, even though the rest of the prison was exactly the same as what the Court had just ruled inhumane and unconstitutional.

Qualified immunity is a made up right by the courts (it doesn't exist in law) and places SOME animals above other animals when it comes to accountability. I thought we were all equal? All Americans should be responsible for their actions, government employees > accountability simply because they have a special 'job' should not be a thing.

> In all firearms training - be it military, law enforcement, and even civilian - you are trained to fire until you are certain there is no more threat.

In any competent firearms training you are trained to actually assess the threat first, and are absolutely not trained to magdump at the first vaguely-scary-looking thing and then have no ammunition left for subsequent threats.
> But it would also be cool to see what could happen with a more open development model.

It seems a little disingenuous to act like we don't know what would happen, at least in broad strokes. Just compare and contrast the nature of SQLite with "more open" projects and you can get the gist.

More features, more bugs, abandonment of excellent testing standards, poor handling of what are dismissed by the developers (but not the current, extremely wide base of users) as niche concerns.
The police must follow all the same laws that we do. Giving any kind of immunity enables officers to be "above the law". If an officer gets accused of rights violations it should be settled in court, not dismissed out of hand.
Yeah but still you have to admit, there's quite a lot more friction and ambiguity in that approach. Do I represent a map as

[
["key", "value"],
["otherKey", "otherValue"]
]

or

[
{"key": "key", "value": "value"},
{"key": "otherKey", "value":"otherValue"}
]

or something else? And how can I distinguish between values which just happen to look like maps but are actually not maps? And what if the service I'm talking to does it differently? What if I'm comparing or sorting two JSON values, don't I have to modify the equality/hashcode/ordering logic now to interpret

[
["key", "value"],
["otherKey", "otherValue"]
]

and

[
["otherKey", "otherValue"],
["key", "value"]
]

as being equal and implement a new hashcode/ordering which treats them as equal?

Quite a lot easier when this is just native to the format.
Agreed, neither a 4 yr degree nor a bootcamp is a guarantee of success. But one of the biggest things I am looking for out of new grads is base-level systems thinking capabilities. I'd rather have that than dev-skills, and, ime, CS grads tend to be more likely to be trained in that way (but every candidate is unique).

But I think bootcamps are at a disadvantage in such comparisons because they tend to be so accelerated -- I wonder what a good 2 year bootcamp curriculum would look like.
I'm European and I feel there is a certain segment of American libertarians who want a global/European systemic collapse because they feel it validates their views. American libertarians are overrepresented on HN.
For me, owning something like this, handcrafted by an artisan, is to support that artisan and their future work. Just because I can make my own knife from scratch doesn't mean I want to do it, I would rather buy a nice knife from a blacksmith, for example, and just because I probably have the skills to build something like this doesn't mean I particularly want to. I just want to own and appreciate nice things and support the people who make those things. That's about as far from "consumerism" as possible, IMO.
Well, not quite. Cops can do this:

In fairness, features which break one another are not a new thing in C++.

> they died because memory safety remains a lower priority than other sexier features.

Is it a priority at all? Or is it on a list titled "¡" under a cabinet in the disused toilets of the third basement?

I don't know whether 20 did as well, but C++17 literally added explicitely anti-memory-safety features (std::optional).
Exactly. Like the West's "Big Lie" on the whole 'War on Terror' operation justifying and using the media to fool the public with Iraq having possession of "Hidden WMDs in Iraq with Saddam Hussein about to launch them in minutes"; as a justification of invasion and repeating this lie when they knew it was false.

A propaganda technique which fooled the world into a forever war that never should have happened in the first place which Wikipedia won't mention or tell you about.
„One asks for help.

The other asks for help by proposing a solution.“

I am not a designer, however in my line as a software engineer I have learned that sometimes it’s better to ask for feedback without immediately giving a potential solution.

Doing so can seriously limit the creative freedom of the other person by shoehorning them into a specific line of thinking. Sometimes the best feedback you can get is reconsideration from a completely different angle.

This obviously doesn’t apply to everything, especially not if the answer is quickly googled. But complex or project specific decisions can benefit from multiple people coming to their own conclusions. Especially so if the individual ideas are then the same or at least partially overlap.
If someone punches you in the face then says they simply want peace right after, does that make them a criminal or should you just let bygones be bygones?

“The name of one of the officers accused of rape ‘seems to correlate with one of the officers that was at the bicycle training,’ said Gage.”

“Gage could not confirm that the officer accused of rape was the officer directly engaged in the training exercise with Tipping. But he said 'our investigation indicates that yes, it was.' "

“Seems to correlate”
“Could not confirm”
“Indicates”

The two may indeed be the same person, but a fair reading is that they are presently unsure.

But the only gun that came out was from the cops! The only threat was from the cops! Why are you lying about this? You seem to understand that there was no other threat but you keep acting like there was!

Maybe the other cops should have shot the first cop 92 times, that would be OK I guess.

EDIT:

Are you actually just stupid? Would you like to get shot at 1 time or 107 times?

One thing i absolutely love and that police officers were not always aware off, is that initially their bodycam were always recording, and keeping the video they just recorded in a buffer (sadly, not often with audio). The buffer can change, but is a minimum of 30 second to up to 15 minutes, and some cops were busted by that. Now more often than not the configuration is 30s, so tape goes missing at a lower rate.

I think their is another kind, used more in cities, with bodycam uploading the video directly, with 3 modes (low-res, lowframe, low-res, normal framerate + audio, and high res high framerate).
Nice. There's some other tasty nuggets in that piece;

Their work is based on experimental verification of some very counter-intuitive aspects (!) of quantum theory. Just this put them in a completely different world than string theorists, who still don’t know how to test their theory.

As mentioned elsewhere, their work is the foundation of quantum computing and quantum cryptography, which probably hasn’t directly affected your life yet but could very well do so in a not-too-far future. Again, entirely unlike string theory.
What about the ballet The Sleeping Beauty? Disney used Tchaikovsky's music heavily in their adaption despite it being less than 70 years after his death (and even further from being 95 years from its premiere).

That's always my go-to example for copyright because:

1. Disney has benefited both from extending copyright and from the previous shorter duration of copyright

2. The fact that a work from the 19th century would still be under copyright in 1959 is astonishing to many people

3. Disney's Sleeping Beauty, despite opening to mixed reviews, is generally well received today and is a great example of what we are missing out on; this work (judged "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the LoC) could not have been made if today's rules existed in 1959.
We'd then also need a "Who wants to be fired?" post.
I agree that circumstantial evidence is evidence and that this angle of the case should be investigated. My point is that circumstantial evidence doesn't rule out other possibilities, and if you forget that then you risk deceiving yourself.
