It would have the same effect as this early american law:

> There was little doubt that fence cutting would be criminalized, but what was to be done about ranchers who were fencing over public roads and lands? Here the Texas Legislature stood with the rich, making fence cutting a felony punishable by two to five years in prison, while for the cattle barons who encroached on public land, the punishment was a misdemeanor and a small fine of $10 to $100.

ie levying a slight tax to enable it rampantly through surface-level law and order

Yeah. The article says this training was a "bicycle training exercise". I'm not sure exactly what that entails, but unless it's confined to a small area, it seems pretty plausible that it wouldn't be feasible to have camera coverage of the entire training space (say, if it occurred out in the world).

Still, I don't know the facts, and if this "bicycle training exercise" was in a small yard of the police academy, and if "often" means "nearly always", then yeah, this would be pretty damning circumstantial evidence of malice.
I've been using a framework with Fedora and so far the experience has been fantastic. The only cons I've noticed is half the battery life of my MBP and loud fans. I'm often near an outlet and don't do CPU-heavy tasks unplugged, so the framework has been all I need and I'm listening to music so I don't notice the fans. I would seriously consider a framework instead of HP.

> No. CVS and Walmart are massive chains, with thousands of pharmacists and entire teams dedicated to store layout.

Personally I hate that this line of reasoning has been brought up because I think it's a bad argument based on reality. In the real world, it's true that big companies spend thousands of hours putting together rules and guidelines from experts. But then their fancy policies and guidelines are passed down the chain through less and less trained people until the ultimate task arrives in the hands of perhaps a minimum wage high-school kid with maybe 30 seconds of training.

A real solution should be foolproof and not rely on proper placement through a game of telephone. If that's the system that you're arguing for, IMO it's a very bad one that guarantees human error.

This isn't a movie. 107 shots didn't take 30 minutes... this "firefight" was over in seconds.

The fact that no shots were fired back is the only reason the round count is as low as it is.

> If they teach people in gun classes to empty their clip "just in case" then maybe you should take a hard look at the gun classes

This isn't a movie folks. If the gun comes out of it's holster, there is a non-trivial chance someone is about to die. We can all agree the events in the above story should not have taken place.

I want to be really clear here, uninformed folks passing judgement by number of rounds fired is about as absurd as it can be. It literally has no impact on the story, and it literally does not mean any of the things you might want it to mean.
I think it's interesting he had this take from young. As I've grown up I've seen the internet change from whatever it was to whatever it is and the delta is definitely very grift-y. However I don't think it is fair to say it was always this way and I am glad that he realized that the web will be whatever we want it to be. Same with the earth.
Re-reading the comment as a whole might help to correct this "strawman" interpretation, but anyways, here is some clarification:

In today's world of software development, many take it as given that every software library should receive periodic updates, and that a library which has not been recently updated is in some sense "dead" and should not be used.

This is logical in cases where the domain is itself constantly changing. For example, software packages which calculate the results of income tax returns must be updated yearly, because the tax laws change. Similarly, packages which perform time zone calculations must be periodically updated, because the time zone rules change.

However, a vast number of software libraries operate in domains which are not inherently subject to change. As an arbitrary example, imagine a hypothetical library which performs symbolic differentiation and integration. Since the rules for how to integrate a function do not change, once thoroughly tested and debugged, there is no reason why such a library could not be used unaltered for decades. Yes, it might not benefit from the development of more efficient algorithms; but if the library was already more than fast enough for a certain application, that might not matter.

While software is different from other things created by humans, the existence of creative works such as books or musical compositions, which often survive for decades or centuries despite not receiving regular updates, provides an illustration of what can and should be possible for software as well. Note, this is an illustration and not an argument.
It appears that the service is not working, but I haven't seen any official updates on this (yet).
I agree with the spirit of your comment, but I wonder how it could translate into practice. It seems like it would be quite the boon to organized crime if you could rid yourself of a meddlesome cop simply by way of accusation.

I was surprised by this claim, as I didn't remember them being the same. And I checked, as a logged out user, on a wikia site and on wikipedia, and...

No, they're not the same by default.

Wikia/Fandom defaults to a WYSIWYG editor, linking is a 4-click process.

Wikipedia has a toolbar atop a wiki code view. It does offer the option of a WYSIWYG editor, but it is _not_ the default. Linking is [[some article title]].

I'm a logged out user on both sites, so it's not a preference I've set.
Nope, still don't understand it. :-/
Get rid of Qualified Immunity for starters. Next should be some sort of malpractice insurance that police must carry themselves (none of this using our tax dollars to pay for their own crimes).
It's a fair point, but they do have a unique form of monopoly on violence. They can "legitimately" initiate violence.

Initiate the violence.

Don't pay your property taxes, and ignore summons, etc? Eventually someone will show up at your door to toss you out of your house. If you just sit on your couch and say "nuh huh" eventually they will violently throw you out. If you use self defense to stop the violence, they'll simply kill you or incapacitate you.

Grow a funny plant in the wrong state? Eventually, if they find out, men with guns will bust into your house. They won't be 'self-defending' you into your custody, they will be initiating the violence against you to take you.

While self defense is 'violence' I think a lot of us just almost "don't count it." Self defense is more like stopping the violence, IMO.

TLDR is that this guy was acting as a fundraiser for research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology where they were specifically making novel coronaviruses, e.g. by creating chimeric viruses of SARS and MERS, and then using those viruses for gain of function research, e.g. by infecting humanized lung tissue in mice.
Whether murder or accidental, what kind of "bicycle training" exercise that includes grappling is designed in such a way that it may unintentionally result in the death of one of the trainees? So even if it wasn't intentional (and it's awful suspicious) the LAPD should be on the hook for running a training exercise that risky.
I agree with you - though as platforms are becoming more tightly regulated and "pressured" by various government agencies and interest groups, I believe the line is blurring. We're seeing our large corporations become de-facto arms of the government.

Kythe was slightly after my time on Grok. It was a side-effort by the Grok team, and it's frankly a miracle they got it out at all. Google only really supports a few big open-source projects - Chrome, YT, k8s. Kythe fell waaaay below the line.

I'll be taking another look at Kythe, and reaching out to the current Grok team, as we expand scip. But ultimately it didn't matter what protocol/format we standardize on. We just need to standardize. So it's scip!
Because milk/eggs are what draws people into the store. And their famous rotisserie chicken or hotdog. Standard retail tactic.

For what it's worth, I was agreeing with you by posting their standard service pistol. However, I am also quite familiar with firearms, and strongly disagree with your belief that this is "the proper technique," it's just what police are currently (improperly, in my very strong opinion) trained to do.

> It sounds a lot like the now debunked chemical imbalance story for depression.

If you are referring to the recent Joanna Moncrieff cherry picked literature review that had a press moment, then do some checking to see what her peers said in response. Moncrieff has a well established bias against pharmaceuticals and this is confirmation-bias writ large and has damaged the layman's understanding of what's happening.

There are objective tests for ADHD. You can look at how the brain responds under MRI or ECG to show the depressed activity in the prefrontal cortex. It's not required for diagnosis but anyone who tries neurofeedback or checking/confirming dyspraxia maybe as it relates to other nervous system issues.

What most people don't realise is the way stimulants work in the ADHD brain compared to the non ADHD brain are different. Superlatives like "shockingly" really mischaracterize what's happening and perpetuate a dangerous myth. Mostly based on anecdotes of the short-term effects of high-doses on young neurotypical individuals under stress. It's not the same.
As platforms are becoming more tightly regulated and "pressured" by various government agencies and interest groups, I believe the line is blurring. We're seeing our large corporations become de-facto arms of the government.

Other treatments would be great, yet between the ages 6-17, of those diagnosed with ADHD, over 2/3 are prescribed meds while less than half receive behavioral treatment.

My point is that unfortunately these medications are still used as primary treatment.

What's positive about having to buy different cables, chargers and converters every year for your phones, cameras, laptops and whatnot? Maybe you're just used to it, but if you truly think about what it means and the implications of doing this at-scale, I seriously doubt there's any benefit to it.

When writing GPU code I often optimize/ tailor the algorithm to the details of the architecture. Trying to write generic GPU code that is performant across multiple platforms is ugly, painful and produces larger and less maintainable code. One actually chooses different algorithms based on the architecture.
So we agree the events were unusual?

Good because that's been my disclaimer all along.

What is not unusual, is given that there was a shooting, 107 rounds from 7+ individual is completely normal.

Do not use round count as a data point to attack events like this. It only diminishes your actual argument, which I assume is this event never should have happened in the first place.
That's the way it is just as long as we tolerate it, so don't.
So far arguments can be made that officer Tipping was not really murdered, or that the woman was not really raped, but it is known for sure from prior cases, including criminal convictions, that there are plenty of rapists and murderers and all sorts of sick individuals in the police, that obviously should not be in the police.

Many articles and discussions on police criminal activity carry a tone of surprise, but in my view nothing here is surprising considering that large numbers of questionable individuals who passed some subjective selection process are armed with guns and placed into what are essentially life-long appointments where lots of money and power is at stake. In my mind it would be surprising had there been no criminal activity within the police under the current system. It would be just as surprising if dictators stayed benevolent and never abused their authority.

I'd say the solution to this problem is to have the public democratically elect police just like politicians, and to also have them be subjected to term limits just like politicians.

So far this system has successfully prevented most people who should not be politicians from becoming politicians or maintaining political power, and I argue that in the same way it would prevent lots of people who should not be in the police from becoming or remaining police officers.

How has the Postgres DB worked out for you with Render? I've been weary of using a relational DB in general since it's a single point of failure and really disruptive if your instance goes down (even with a back-up DB to failover too can be problematic if data doesn't get replicated before a crash).

Also are you just using your Node.js app as a back-end server or are you also serving web pages from it?

Orgo, when I took it in anti-diluvian times, was basically memorization. Names of compounds (IUPAC naming was just appearing), names of reactions, spectral patterns, ... Yuck. So I damned near flunked Orgo II - people also made the mistake of asking for the grades to be graded on a curve. This wasn't "push them higher", this was average-is-a-C, 1 SD is B/D, 2 SD is A/F. So, say, if the average is 83/100 and the SD is one, 78 fails.

Physical chemistry, like physics, had memorization but more of a math basis. Many p-chem profs provided 5-10 equations on the test as "if that's all you remember, you're screwed". That I could do.

And I would think there has to be weed-out courses before 1st year med school. I would think that things like Anatomy are dead memorization as well, so "practice" like that provided by organic saves time and money for all. Yeah, MD's don't need lab science but they need to be able to hunker down and inhale/retain lots of facts. No time to google when it's a bleeder.

If not Orgo, they'll just create something else. Or, there's going to be more wasted slots in med school as people wipe out first year. Which, as I recall, happened in law school back then.

My main gripe with Render is they don't support adding Cloudflare CDN to cache static assets with far-future settings.
