I think you answered your own question. Because a "reasonable person", given all the same facts the officers had at the moment the shooting occurred, felt the use of force was justified.

They did not just get together and shoot up a non-threatening truck with two women in it, as you say. That's what we would say in hindsight, given the facts as-discovered after the incident.

The question you should be asking, but didn't, is why the first officer that opened fire is not in trouble for an obvious (in hindsight) wrong call. I would hazard to guess qualified immunity played into that officer's case. Perhaps that is where you should focus.... not on the number of rounds used.
This seems viable especially as next generation power storage comes into the fold. Finally using the wings for sustained flight - something that doesn’t take nearly as much energy as getting whatever payload off the ground in the first place.
Very loosely, a number/vector/matrix/tensor can be considered to be objects where specifying the values of 0/1/2/3 indexes will give a number.

(A mathematician might object to this on several grounds, such as that vectors/matrices/tensors are geometric objects which need not be expressed numerically as coordinates in any coordinate system)
What are you talking about, "new narrative"? We're not all narrative-driven bots, you know. I've been reading about Elon Musk since before anyone else I knew had even heard of him and have always admired his endeavours.
I mean, between consecutive standard releases not as much changes; it's pretty clear that they're the same language with some slight differences/new features. I think the point is C++ has had so much change over the years it almost seems unrecognizable compared to its earlier forms.

Almost makes me think of the ship of Theseus. How do we define the point that it's so different it could be considered a different language? Backwards compatibility strikes me as a factor, but backwards compatibility is violated by languages all the time and it's still considered "the same language."
Unfortunately I leaned on history to make investment decisions during this period of rising inflation. Gold, stocks, and real estate were historically good hedges against inflation and cash holdings should be minimized. But that conventional wisdom has been a bad strategy this time.

As a reminder one ~sure bet is iBonds (the i is for inflation). Last I checked the yield is little shy of 10% and your money only needs to be locked up for 1 year. Too bad there's a $10k annual deposit limit.
> Lightning was a design put forth by a company that wasn't Apple during the USB IF's design stage of USB-C.

Do you have some references for this? I had never heard of Lightning having been developed anywhere but at Apple and specifically for their iDevice line and a check on Wikipedia's Lightning connector page has no references to anything that can substantiate this claim. Either a great example of historical erasure, or you're making this up.

TL;DR: Source?
> In pretty much everything else, you cheat, you're basically done.

The penalty for cheating in most major sports is way more lenient than you think. Most leagues will suspend you for a handful of games in the first instance. In the NBA for example you can be caught three times before being suspended for one season.
Does this change make FSD required, or is it still "optional"?
I do not get the fondness for "the old web".

There was a ton of crap. There are many, many more tons of crap today. Tik Tok will practically mainline it into your veins. Instagram and other social media sites exist for any other media types you might want. You don't need to search for it; the feeds will hand it to you. But I don't think of that as any worse than "link rings".

The big aggregators may be those "same popular web sites" but the content is provided by the users, same as on any geocities site. They've just abstracted out the content management parts, so that the creators of that random crap can create random crap.

I hear this a lot on Hacker News, and I can't help but wonder how much of it is "I loved the days when everybody on the Internet had to create their own web site, so their tastes were similar to mine because I'm also the sort of person with the skills and interest in creating my own web site." And if so, I understand why people on Hacker News might find that appealing, though I personally appreciate the greater breadth of available content now.
The hydrogen conversion of the Cessna Caravan seems a little more practical. Hydrogen is bulky, but light. Fuel cells aren't cheap though. However, hydrogen is quick to refuel unlike battery charging. I think the weight to power is better with hydrogen than li-ion and weight is the most important thing for aviation.

> perhaps it's more correct than your version.

My version has lots and lots and LOTS of history backing it up.

Did you know that the US had inflation when on the gold standard during the California and Yukon gold rushes?

Did you know that Spain experienced massive inflation during the period when they were shipping the silver in S. America across the Atlantic?

I could go on and on.

> One could also argue that Inflation happens when people don't trust that their government will pay back all the money borrowed.

This sort of thing happens with private banknotes, which would trade at a discount based on the level of trust. But that is a one-time discount, not a cumulative process.
Tesla cameras have sizeable overlap, so if one is obstructed it tries to extract the information from the others. If it can't then it tells you to clean the cameras. It's not perfect but it's better for them (Tesla) and hopefully better long term for all Tesla owners

Dude if you are going 85-90 miles an hour and you aren't leaving AT LEAST 2 cars in between you, please stay off the road. You should be keeping 3 seconds of distance between you and the car in front of you. At 90 miles per hour that's a hell of a lot more than 2 car lengths.
What happens when it’s a strong chess player who is cheating?

Even a strong player can benefit from consulting a computer. Chess games can win fail based on a few moves.

A strong player would only need to consult the computer on a few moves to get a considerable advantage.
A controversial, but a very pragmatic take.

Queues are great for semi-infinite scalability, but you rarely need it.

There's numerous subtle benefits to using db compared to regular message queues that are often overlooked.

Being able to delete, reorder, or edit specific messages can be a lifesaver when things go wrong.

Most common issue with queue-based systems is getting overwhelmed with messages. Either your consumers went down. Or your producers had a bug / executed too frequently.

Being able to recover with a simple SQL query is a blessing.

It depends on the server but if they're self-hosting they could be looking at ~$100k per server if they go towards the high end or as little as $3-$10k/server for low or mid grade hardware. They mentioned 300 servers, so I would assume that there was somewhere between a $500k-$5m upfront outlay for their hardware which would need to be refreshed every 3-5 years, which is a huge range but since they didn't disclose specs it is hard to correctly estimate.

For instance, many of us could probably put together a decent cluster of used circa 2012-2017 servers in a rack for $5-$10 grand (not counting storage) which would be enough to run any small or startup business needs for thousands of users.

Also, since this text was IMHO from a dev's perspective and not from a sysadmins, there's a good chance that it could have been individual docker containers inside of VMs running on less physical server. In that case, a single $100k 16x blade server with a few hundred terabytes of storage would probably be more than enough to start and provide a good base line for expansion, so reading back over it I would guess they spent about $250k in hardware to offline from AWS
The problem with this is that the first classes in calculus are usually focused on continuous functions, which don't really exist in statistical datasets. The math has a lot in common, but most people don't really see or use that to their advantage, as evidenced by the literature on "transfer of learning".
Or notice how the core of his manifesto is ignored: that of all the police who horribly beat Rodney King & sent him to an early death, all were significantly rewarded in their careers and/or retirement. No lasting institutional changes were made.
This... wasn't leaked, was it? It was released legitimately, as I understand it.
And whatever the "elders" say, they agree, no critical thinking allowed!

I was talking about Facebook's dreaded 'Community Standards' here, to be specific. I've had content censored that I acquired from Facebook itself, and the original post where I got it from wasn't taken down from Facebook. Such hypocrisy.

I've done this enough times that Facebook threatened to permaban me from their platform. So I run my little corner of the net where I can post what I want (within reason). By 'Edgy meme' I mean something that a behemoth like Facebook deems censorable.

To an extent, yes. Practically, you have control. Legally, you have still purchased a licence to view that content on that media in limited scenarios.

You can't (legally) copy it, or display it in public (for free or money).
Apparently they have a policy of only dealing internally, with their own online systems. Basically they just quietly ban players caught cheating, and don't report it anywhere normally.

Even now, they haven't released this publicly yet.

Open source was invented to make the barrier to contribution easier. Putting up a barrier is therefore counterproductive. By your logic, just force everyone to fork their own copy if they want to make changes, so no one has to scroll through PRs/issues.

And they wonder why no one has solved the curse of lisp?
This seems like an odd question to me. Social security? Medicare? Free education? The entire welfare state? The vast majority of regulatory apparatus, which is generally implemented when wealthy/owner class people cause damage to employees/poor people to a degree that political action is taken (NLRB, FDA, OSHA, EPA, CFPB, etc.)? The great volume of services provided to all citizens, for free - weather forecasting, GPS, state/federal parks, federally funded research; laws like the CRA, VRA or ADA which help those disadvantaged by racism, disability, etc.

Look, I'm not going to say regulatory capture doesn't exist, or that the wealthy don't have advantages in getting laws passed that favor their interests, but there's a great deal of stuff that gets done that is specifically for the poor or the average citizen.

I think you are conflating a few things. The idea of property came into existence long before capitalism, which seems to be the linchpin of your take. Are you suggesting we return to being hunter gatherers? If not, I’m not sure what you are proposing.
Musk makes decisions that are often suboptimal when it comes to business and profit, so that's the way out.

I also have the feeling that he's bought this thing to stroke his own ego and have better control over his soapbox rather than a business purpose, therefore absolute profitability may not be his priority.

Furthermore, if he does this bet and it ends up proving that an ad-less business model makes more money in the long run, it may push the rest of the market out of the local maximum it's currently in and make them explore non-advertising monetization strategies.
Nostalgia time! When I graduated years ago, Knuth's books were still all the rage because the central themes in the CS departments in universities were fundamentals: algorithms, compiler theory, operating systems and what not. We referenced TAOCP for implementing the priority queue using fibonacci heap for our OS projects. We studied chapters on vol 2 for some of the numerical algorithms, and etc. We read Parsing Techniques cover to cover to understand how to write a parser. We still carefully studied AI: A Modern Approach and the dragon/dinosaur/tiger book. Every once in a while a discussion on Knuth's work went to the first page of HN or Programming Reddit. Then, we got more and more mature libraries, and we rarely needed to understand 10 different algorithms that solve the same class of problems. Consequently, we got fewer discussion about Knuth's work too. Of course, it's super fun to read his meticulous discussion of combinatorial algorithms in Vol 4. It just that TAOCP does not appear as essential to as many people as a decode ago.
That is a bit of an oversimplification. The presence of money is no sufficient, that money must be in circulation. For example, they can print all the money they want, if they just toss it all in a big bank account and never remove it, there will be no inflation.

That was a big reason why printing a lot of money in the past did not contribute to a lot of inflation: most of that money ended up sitting in the accounts of a few big institutions, who then did not end up spending it on anything.

This time around, we both gave that money directly to people (who then spent all of it), but also were dealing with global supply issues, an energy crunch, a food crunch, etc. Everyone had more money to spend, but there were less things to spend it on, leading to dramatic price increases.
> Musk is the one billionaire that I honestly believe thinks of humanity's best interests in the big picture, long term.

I find that hard to believe now.
They specifically call that out in the doc.

"At this time, we do not plan to remove the functionality of ultrasonic sensors in our existing fleet."
Well it's too late, I'm convinced all of them are assholes and idiots.

Of course, I thought this even before the Twitter fiasco started. I just believe it even more strongly now.

My kids were scared of the dark, and letting them control the bathroom and hallway lights by voice (from their cozy beds) saved me from many late-night wakeup calls.

> I think you answered your own question. Because a "reasonable person", given all the same facts the officers had at the moment the shooting occurred, felt the use of force was justified.

In no universe were they justified in their manhunt for a 250lb man to open fire at a pickup truck of the wrong model and color, driven by two women.

The first rule of using firearms, regardless of whether you shoot one round, or one hundred and five, is that you need to know what the hell you're shooting at before you do it. Are you saying that they opened fire without having any idea who they were shooting at? What kind of reasonable person would do so? One that is blind? One that has zero regard for human life?

That's not a lapse in judgement, that's not a 'whoopsie daisies', that's not grounds for a civil suit, that's a felony if done by anyone without a badge. A hanging offense if someone were killed over it.
This is a good point and George Floyd is a sad example of this in action during a police encounter. He exerted himself tremendously for many minutes while under the influence of various drugs, and with a seriously compromised heart, and then succumbed while being restrained.

Knowing that people get into this instinctual "fight" mode frequently during police encounters, to the point where they'll exert themselves to the point of exhaustion and beyond, I do wish police had a greater duty of care standard to check on people and assess for medical emergencies during such scuffles.
> The point of the question is that it's posed by the people who aren't going to go on to create weather reports, credit card payment systems, video games, etc.

I don't think so. If you're in high school and you ask this question, you surely do mean something like "what activity will I possibly doing in my future career that would require calculus" and in that case the answer that you may be a financial analyst, a meteorologist, an electrical engineer, etc. is right on. It's exactly what kids want to know.

But now there's this myth that "you won't ever use calculus in real life" which is totally wrong.
It might work if there are no spectators live in person. Otherwise you can easily have someone in person relaying the information to a computer, or you have to search everyone, not just the players.

You're right. Nobody bothers to make scanners because there's no data, and nobody has come up with a good format to convey the data between producers (like NVD) and consumers (like dependabot).

I wrote a blog post talking about some of this stuff: https://www.lunasec.io/docs/blog/the-issue-with-vuln-scanner...

It truly is a chicken and egg problem. There are next to no automated scanners that make use of data like that, semgrep is the furthest along and my company is close behind them at taking a stab at it as far as I can tell. Heck there are hardly any that do anything with the existing "Environmental" part of the CVSS, and that has been pretty well populated by NVD, I believe.

The existing interchange formats for vulnerability data, such as OSV, are underdesigned to the point that it feels like GitHub CoPilot designed them. It's real work to even get to the point that you can consume them, given all the weird choices in there. Sorry if I'm salty.

There is an attempt to create a standard for situational vulnerability exposure called "VEX" or Vulnerability Exchange Format, but it's almost entirely focused on conveying information about what vulnerabilities have been manually eliminated, so that software "vendors" can satisfy their customers, especially in government contracts. It's not modeling the full picture of what can happen in a dependency tree and all the useful false-positive information in there.
This is something that comes to mind when I see "designed in California" for a product that can't handle snow. Guess the same thing applies to monsoons!
The complexity of C++0x is one reason Go was created.

I guess it’s different requirements. I’d rather a candidate with dev-skills. I haven’t seen any correlation of cs grads being easier to teach. It’s the opposite in my experience; a candidate with dev skills is likely to pick up systems design faster than someone with none.
> No one sheds 44B "to honor a deal", at least not him, lol.

No, but many were thinking any breaking up fee would be 10B+. At that point, he might as well buy and have some asset at the end.

Levine was definitely on point. And I repeated here what he and others said, if Musk wants out negotiations start at 44B.
I mean, how is that any different than what we have now?

This is called cost-push inflation. Unfortunately, that theory doesn't explain where the extra dollars come from.

No, if you've read the Garth Ennis run of The Punisher then you would know that cops wearing punisher shirts is completely misunderstanding the character.

Like a lot of people, you have an idea of the character which is not the definitive version of the character.

If you read the Punisher and you come away from it thinking that vigilantism, murder and so forth is good then there is probably something very wrong with you.
It's possible they didn't mean at the same time. Minimum 1 in all situations, including going 5mph in traffic, where 2 might be a bit conservative.
Cars delivered today without USS will not have: "Park Assist: alerts you of surrounding objects when the vehicle is traveling <5 mph." (among other features like Summon)

This is the most basic feature that almost every car has had for years - but not your $60k Model Y. Why can't they wait to remove sensors until they've achieved feature parity with the vision only system? This seems crazy.

I don't really understand the push to do everything through the cameras. This has caused other problems too - like their decision to control automatic wipers with just the camera. Which meant in my Model 3, the automatic wipers were erratic and ineffective while in every other car with a normal $5 rain sensor the feature worked great.
It depends on your admissible vintages for historic precedents. The Bank of Japan has been doing Quantitative Easing for over 20 years and has also extended it to include ETF share purchases.
Agreed. "Parity" doesn't mean in all cases, it means in the majority of cases and this seems like a edge case (where 2 car lengths isn't good enough).
Calculus is a workout for the brain, but closed form symbolic manipulation has few use-cases in normal life.

Now take stats and probability? Also a great way to expand one’s mind, and key to decoding truths and understanding the dynamics of the world.
