> This is not universally accepted,

Try saying that to your boss who does in fact outrank you.

> I'm demonizing you for what you said

Do you make it a habit? You ever consider misinterpretation or do you just blame the other person's wording?

My use of the word is not incorrect, and no I do not mean superior human being. If that is what I meant, I would have put human being after superior.

> I'm not going to try guess your best intention.

You should. Always. Please do.

> language that doesn't make me think

No one's language will make you think anything. Your thoughts are your own. Own them. Think about that. And if you've misidentified an arrogant narcissist or a fascist, that's on you.

> Lots of people. It's awful. Hence the purpose of my response.

Like you? And your purpose is what? To demonize me? Why?

> your "superior" can't necessarily fire you, nor should they be able to any more than you can fire them.

So here what needs repairing. Have you ever worked "under" someone? Or is that "beneath" you? Or is this language damaging?

Yes, they can fire you, and no you can't fire them. Trying to get them fired is not the same, and already you're admitting you can't do it directly. They can do it directly. You get to quit if you don't enjoy the work being served on your plate. That's all it is.

I apologize if I offended you. That was not my intent. You could have guessed that.

However, you are personally offensive, by your own admission. Demonizing people is offensive. And you continue to do so even after I've clarified my point.
Well it was flagged in the beginning, it's not like I imagined it.

IMHO people should be allowed to complain otherwise how can we spot deficiencies and injustices and improve?

It's less biased than your argument, which pointed at no evidence.
None of these thing are mutually exclusive with what the parent poster said.
Are you saying that the internal accounting controls at Apple are so lax that Tim Cook can pay contractors off the books out of his own travel expenses?

I also imagine the post-arrest interview of the $5000 hitman going like this:

"You're charged with Murder 1, which is a capital offense in this state. Are you ready to die for $5000?"

"Tim Cook made me do it."

I didn't say it damages anything; I said it will be pretty hard talk to have and hard to manage situation, especially if it somehow leaks to the other kids, kids are cruel. And things that are hard can go bad easily.

"But the other job earning less money would be worse for kid!" is extremely one-dimensional view on that

And I'm not sure how your weird rant about child services is even related to that
This is true for all platforms, including no OS at all, RTOSes, Linux, DOS, Windows, etc.
I think one of the reasons I've seen this happen is because typically, EE and ME programs in university teach very little CS "enough to be dangerous", and the few coding projects you are required to do are often taught in a way that downplays the importance of the software. Software is often seen as simply a translation or manifestation of a classical mathematical model or control system ( or even directly generated by Matlab/Simulink).

Software, being less familiar, is not viewed as a fundamental architectural component because there often isn't sufficient understanding of the structure or nuance involved in building it. In my experiences software or firmware engineers tend to be isolated from the people who designed the physical systems, and a lot of meaning is lost between the two teams because the software side does not understand the limitations and principles of the hardware and the hardware team does not understand the capabilities and limitations of the software.
oooboy is it. That's what I get for not proofreading.
someone should combine a chain of blocks for identity management with one for financial transactions/tokens and one for signature attestation. We could call it the cube chain and usher in web 4.0.....
but you know

- they still have to be physically there

- one team can do only one raid at a time

- people know if they did a raid

- they needs a judge order and because the previous point you can counter sue if reasonable, at least theoretically

- they can't impersonate you all around the globe including in countries outside of the UK just by raiding you

- a raid is time wise also limited

- police being able to raid doesn't prevent you from guarding yourself against random criminals or agents of foreign hostile governments raiding you

- you know when you are raided

- you are still allowed to put steal doors in your home

- I probably missed a bunch of points

I.e. it's not the same, not at all.

A more correct comparison would to state police can raid you, so they should be able to hack your device but only to retrieve information and being required to leaf a message behind (and even that comparison has issues).

Kids are expensive and housing is intractable where the mid-level jobs are. In some housing markets, a family with 2 boys and 2 girls earning $150K/yr will qualify for government subsidized housing. It's not 1995 anymore and not everywhere is the suburban midwest.

I'm not advancing that argument at all, but rather arguing "even people who do believe that will surely agree that the USA will someday cease to exist and, later, will fall out of history to an extent that someone will have to ask who/what the USA even was and, therefore, the notion that we will forever need affirmative action because '[the USA had] an actual legacy of the extraction, relocation, and enslavement of a particular group of people on the basis of race' is highly questionable".
I doubt the AI would voluntarily self identify as such, unless we force it to. Some of the interviewees may never know the difference.

But yeah agreed, wish papers just republished wire stories or press releases and spent what little staff they still have on original (ideally local) reporting.
I don't think the government is trying to protect drug dealers or tax evaders from themselves. You intentionally chose a weak argument to fight against.

As a gun owner, I can tell you this is laughably false. I can't go into a police station and walk out as a cop 30 minutes later.

Harvard has been around for centuries, long-time-horizon planning is rare in the current corporate landscape but less so at such large institutions.

Harvard effectively is close-to-free if you are not rich, but why would they subsidize people from rich families?

Govt subsidized loans thing is wrong also, very few Harvard students have any sort of loan.

> I meant pay for the right to bear arms in being exposed to the consequences.

The 50,000 dead annually via firearms would appear to be paying more. (Even when you adjust for relative populations; 800k cops with 50 deaths, 300M Americans with 50,000).

> Might want to look at gunfire injuries that are not deaths.

I went looking and was unable to find any particularly reliable sources on police-specific firearm injuries. I did find that cops are at higher risk of firearm death via suicide than via suspects as an additional data point.

Perhaps they could do with some therapy and anger management in addition to all the armor and weaponry?
I mean both parties have an email receipt (but then why not just use email)

I think the infrastructure need here is extensible messaging. There are a lot of multiparty flows with notification and recordkeeping requirements
If the government wants to tax these transactions - and let's admit it, they do - they'll take it right off the top. Unlike with the banking system where different banks have different prices for wires - or even free under certain conditions - you can't "shop around" for a new government.

Further, if a government determines you are not an "acceptable" participant, they have the ability to stop transactions to/from you.

*Ability doesn't necessarily translate to authority - you can probably fight it - but the government's legal fees are paid by us so they're effectively unlimited.
The emails are automatically sent to the recipients after you submit the modal window to add them (there should be 'SENT' status displayed next to their emails)

We can all dream about the day we beat the speed of light. But, yeah, "tradeoffs". Single instance, single-node DBMSs like PostgreSQL work well in the beginning. PostgreSQL is the most popular OLTP database for good reasons. But, Distributed SQL databases are built for all the cases where the application needs a higher scale than fits cost-effectively on single machine, guaranteed consistency without pushing complexity to the application code, higher resilience to failures with less effort and cost, replication across regions/datacenters/CSPs, and configurable data placement policies for low-latency access around the globe and for data regulation & sovereignty control.
JPEG 2000 had very bad implementations for a long time.

Second Life went with JPEG2000 for textures, and when they open sourced the client, they had to switch to an open source library that was dog slow. Going into a new area pretty much froze the client for several minutes until the textures finally got decoded.

But they are actually not hosting it.

If we are being pedantic, one can claim that all data, can be very well anything because there is always a "one-time pad" transforming all communication into something malicious.

What's the word for something that's phrased like wisdom but doesn't hold up at all to mild scrutiny?

"Just as much the ability to forget as to remember", feh. One of those things is a bit more important, isn't it?
Given how generous credit card rewards are in the US, combined with the interest rates that get charged to people who buy things they can't afford, I don't see it replacing credit cards.
this reminds me of how designing for "the average human" leaves out anyone with even slightly superhuman capabilities, and how frustrating this is for us when our capabilities surpass what designers thought were good enough. for us, this happens frequently with monitor PPI and HMD PPD, but i can imagine someone with tetrachromy theoretically being able to perceive colors that computers can't reproduce, and wondering why computers lack these colors, only to find that this is supposedly an impossibility that was optimized out

as an example, apple's new HMD advertises things that simply can't possibly be true, so we probably won't be getting one any time soon. there's zero reason to upgrade from a simple hp reverb g2 when the only difference between two blurry headsets is that one of them costs four times more. we'd rather be conscious of this than try to fix it when no solution currently exists

this isn't saying displays for tetrachromy should have been the norm, as that's very wasteful on most people. but maybe displays for tetrachromy could have existed, somewhere, in some market, just like tech devices with placebo-level specs tend to exist in some market
> ...everyone having to test every food product they buy...

On the one hand - that would only push the problem one turtle down, to "who is testing the food testing supplies & equipment?".

OTOH - since the libertarians have a "zero out of N and counting" record of ever creating even a micro-scale functioning libertarian society...is it worth the electrons to bother refuting libertarian arguments?

Why would the government program money to expire? Would the money not become effectively worthless the closer to the expiration date? Why would a business accept transactions from people with money that’s about to expire would that then mean they would be giving away goods and services for free potentially?
The Federal Reserve sets the interest rate that it loans money at. You are free to loan money to anyone at a lower rate if you wish.

Believable metric.

Many citizens in the abstract, "support" police. But police are pretty indiscriminate with their power tripping. So people with actual experience dealing with them tend to form negative opinions when they realize this might be a Leopard Ate Your Face moment.

I've heard an actual person say, "I though police were only like that to <...> people".
It’s just that there was a time in Europe (about 80 years ago) when among other cruel things, the honor and reputation of a lot of people were actively destroyed for arbitrary reasons.

I thought this until I tried to actually watch and understand body cam footage. it's quite a lot harder to parse and misses quite a bit that cell phone cameras capture. there's also an interesting argument that by always showing the officers' perspective it will make people more likely to empathize with them.

I'm not sure exactly why bodycam footage is so much worse. I think part of it might have to do with the odd height it's placed at.

Each year more than 250,000 civilians are injured by police. At least 600 are killed. between 2014 and 2019 there was an average of 245 officers shot per year, many of which were injuries only.

It's extremely clear that in an average encounter a civilian is much more likely to be shot and kileld or injured by police than the other way around. Gun violence against police is extremely rare.
It is my understanding that the get most of their revenue (>95%) from fees charged to larger contractors and developers who all have access to a self serve portal (you just need a contractor license # which is not hard to get). As they build up a history with the city, they do not require as many inspections throughout the construction process (but they are on the hook to fix it if anything is found after the fact). The bare minimum for new construction would be the slab pour or pier/beam foundation setup, electrical, plumbing, framing, and final. For a reno, it’s just final.

For owner-builders there was a series of homeowners insurance claim denials in the 1990s and 2000s because unpermitted work was observed by the adjuster. This resulted in the former occupant simply abandoned the house, leaving a subpar structure, contributing to blight, and lower property values. The city building department made very easy and inexpensive for these people and to get a permit. For minor work, $30 out the door and for major work $87 (assuming you don’t get the discount). This fee includes two free inspections (pre and final) from professionals at the building department, usually same day.

I bought a fixer-upper in 2017, did a full rewire, repiped water supply lines, gas to electric range conversion, trenched 30ft to my detached garage (for 240V/125A power, data, and water), and installed a mini split system. They got to know me well and just instructed me to do a video walk through as they did not have any problems with my work prior. This was only possible because they care more about public safety than fines.

One theory I have is that policy dictates that they cannot issue a fine right away, they must leave a notice of some sort that they owner must respond to (usually by getting a permit, sometimes by arguing it’s not required) or will face a fine. They just cut out the junk in between by helping them the permit right there, which ends up being a good enough experience that most people just get the permit next time.

I'd have thought it'd be more profitable to sell access to you based on criteria rather than outright selling your data. If they sell your data then anyone can buy it and use it whereas only they can sell your attention.
TLDR: A display for people or other creatures with true tetrachromatic vision (not just an additional receptor, but the ability to perceive it as a distinct primary colour) would need to be able to output that fourth primary colour, but there doesn't seem to be enough data to determine conclusively at this time if women with a fourth type of cone perceive a fourth primary colour.

The one study I've been able to read the full text for that involved determining spectral sensitivity of a woman with distinctly tetrachromatic vision[1] indicates that she had some cones with a peak in-between what most people would see as red and green,[2] and could consistently and accurately discriminate between colours that would appear identical to most people.[3] Unfortunately (and surprisingly, IMO), it doesn't discuss her subjective perception, i.e. does she perceive a true fourth primary colour?

It seems like a very, very rare gift, so IMO it's hard to even determine if the women who have it respond in similar ways, which would be a prerequisite for developing a display for them. Everyone else the authors tested who had a fourth type of cone couldn't actually discriminate between colours beyond someone with the typical three types. It would be interesting to see if they gained the discrimination ability by wearing glasses with extremely narrow bandpass filters for their cones' center wavelengths, like the ones that give men with red/green colourblindness the ability to distinguish between red and green.

Police camera footage should definitely, 100%, be public record the moment it's taken, I agree.

Part of the problem isn't actually refusal to cooperate on the part of police orgs, though. I happen to know second-hand that the companies operating the cameras provide abysmal and overcomplex, failure-prone software and hardware, and storing all that camera footage in a way that is quickly accessible to the public would approach Youtube levels of footprint/operational costs... It's complex, and police orgs, in addition to being resistant to change, are also not exactly known for their technical acumen.
That's quite good actually thinking about it. It's not an overly complex piece infrastructure which is unusual but wholly welcome for similar HN submissions.

ECS/Fargate and ElasticSearch makes a lot of sense here considering Wordpress, and keeps their stack as well as local development simple.
