Well, statistics matter here and one thing insurance companies know about is statistics. If you brake hard once or twice, no biggie.

But, for sure, my prior is that someone who frequently brakes hard on the road is someone who gets themselves into jams they shouldn't have been in in the first place. Maybe it's a matter of failing to anticipate what's coming up ahead. Maybe it's a matter of where, when, and how often they drive.

Both indicate risk that, arguably, should be priced appropriately. Same for health behaviors.

Dropping you is a thing that happens when the expected value of your insurance payouts exceed the expected value of the premiums collected. With granular data from telematics, an insurer [*] could notify you to change your game long before they end up concluding, "Well, none of the data we have on this person differentiates them from the last 3 guys to cost us a million plus in settlements and claims, so sayonara"

[*] thinking of TFA here I mean a suitably regulated insurer, not one that is somehow sneakily accessing telematics data without any transparency
The reasons communism allows seizure of property are with good intentions, just as the reasons the law allows the seizure of property in this case are because of good intentions.

How it's used and abused in practice in both systems is the important part. I'm not sure either system necessarily has a great track record in that respect.
Private property != personal property

Means of production is not the same as the shoes on your feet. It's just unfortunately confusing terminology that leads to twisted argumentation.

Btw, the alternative to capitalist liberal states is not exclusively authoritarian marxist-leninist communism. Not all anti-capitalists are pining for another different boot to lick.

Never heard of FS before, solid company?
It's happened in Minneapolis as well after the George Floyd.

The solution to this is either:

- setup a second security force to gradually replace them

or

- subdivide the coverage map into different districts, suss out the districts with poor performing management, then merge the territories of bad areas under the management of good areas

or

- subdivide responsibilities between violent crime, petty crime, and mundane enforcement like traffic, with separate departments for each, and tackle cleaning them up separately.

Really the notion of taking the same "trained" cop for all the roles in an urban area is pretty stupid. Specialized enforcement roles are likely a better solution.

Shadow defunding, without calling it defunding, is also another weapon, but of course Minneapolis blew that by outright calling it defunding.

But really the drug war is what fuels corruption and excessive power. Remove the drug war, and it would kneecap massive amounts of abuse.

My name is Joe. I am a software engineer. I build my own software, Awayto, which you can currently demo at https://awayto.store to see my output. The demo features a communications platform, similar to what you would expect if you were running an online writing center. There is RBAC, scheduling & online appointments, voice/video calling, shared whiteboard/document marking, and more. However, the system is built in a generic fashion where features can be added or removed on a whim, leading to a pivotable system for whatever business you're creating.

I'm interested in working with businesses with the above feature set interests, educational groups, community services, and so on. The software is fully open source and runs bare metal or (currently) on hetzner. As a freelancer I am looking for work on projects of similar scope, as well as implement Awayto for your own purposes, should you need.

I've been developing for 25 years and am of course open to other projects as well. And I look forward to hearing what ideas you have, and your needs.

Please contact me at joe \at\ keybittech.com for any inquiries, and check my profile for more info and links to my work.
How is the GIMBAL video still listed as "unresolved"? Mick West's analysis seems to explain it pretty thoroughly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsEjV8DdSbs

At the very least I would have hoped that there would be more than just a link to the video, and a section saying that some convincing explanations have been proposed. Right now it looks like on the first day it was released, as if this case was still just as mysterious.

For some reason, I assume that you needed an arc splicer machine to run fibre at home, but it looks like that all you need is a specialty cutter. Much less expensive than that splicer.
It is naive to think that the next evolution isn't armed drones, probably excess ones under the 1033 Program of the Defense Logistics Agency, with the excuse that "now decisions to use force can be made without the officer in physical danger" and "now those decisions can be made by a group of people instead of one officer".

Disabled People Are Left Behind in Climate Disasters
> reasonably well done

I guess. I've felt that Github's UI has been on a downward trend for a while, call it "enshittification" or "feature churn" if you'd like. A few things I can remember now: the redesign of the old dashboard; nothing improved, things just became harder to find, and maybe a designer at Github got a promotion. The dreaded "For you" tab that Github tried to force to be the default for a while. Profile "achievements". The latest changes to the editor/file browser have slowed down my workflows. Ah, and the latest UI refresh that shifted tabs around and forces a *hamburger menu on desktop viewports*.

There's a lot to like for sure; I still prefer Github to Gitlab. But there's also room for improvement, hence why people make these frontends to begin with.
I'm sure you considered it, but fiber might fit this application better?

Also, AIUI, having the electrical isolation between the 2 buildings is nice.

they were actually saying he would try to back out of it, which he did, and also that he would fail to do so, which he did
They have a massive incentive to turn a blind eye to it because cutting these bad actors off would mean they lose out on all that money.

GoDaddy could make even more money by cutting those people off. Then they can re-sell the domain again.

Like when a restaurant shortens the amount of time diners are allowed to linger so it can turn the tables more often.
I think they're talking about the intention of the user in posting the data. People that post on Twitter and HN understand that the visibility is public, unlike Gmail.

My first thought is how will you travel if you're not a citizen of any country? Were you suggesting giving up your citizenship or did you mean a resident of any country? You need a passport to travel.

If you are a US Citizen and leave the US for more than 6 months approx, you are no longer considered a resident. If you choose to go to Europe you can only stay in the Schengen Area for 90 days every 180 days. You could go to UK and stay for up to 90 days and a list of other countries. You will still need to file your taxes every year with the US Gov and if you didn't pay taxes in any other country you will need to pay the US Gov. Otherwise you will need to make over 127 k USD outside the USA before you pay taxes on anything above that. Canada/Europe can be expensive, Eastern Europe/Asia/South America will be cheaper. You will probably need to move to a new country every 90 Days.

It's very complicated and every country has different rules and how long you can stay. Doing it for a a few months of the year (like spend a summer in Europe) is probably much easier. Every year you can choose another part of the world for 3 months.

Only about two of them will be more contemporary though, and both are academic talks, not interviews. I get that you don't like Lex Fridman, which is a perfectly fine position to hold. But there is something to be said for seeing two people just sit and talk, as opposed to seeing somebody monologue for an hour. The Fridman interview with Doug is, IMO, absolutely worth watching. And so are all of the other videos by / about Doug. shrug

Yeah modern JavaScript frameworks heavily discourage semantic markup, and I’m salty about it.
The fundamental problem is that domain name trademark enforcement is handled by the legal department when it should be handled by marketing, business development, and/or DevRel.

While companies can enforce their trademarks, it's generally better to allow people who are using domains in a reasonable way to continue. Taking the domain away and then doing nothing with it doesn't benefit anyone.

Even in parasitical scenarios, allowing squatters to get affiliate revenue by redirecting traffic to the company is better than fooling around with the legal process.

Crisis at Christmas | Volunteer position | Flexible | All levels welcome | London (UK) on-site / Remote

NOTE: Still looking for VoIP people / MDM admins!

Not a job job but I'm hoping to find volunteers who can help us end homelessness in the UK for good.

Crisis is a homelessness charity in the UK. Our flagship event is Crisis at Christmas, where we open homeless shelters during the Christmas period where many other homelessness facilities close and the homeless population face loneliness during the festive period. We provide shelter, warmth, food and drink, activities and entertainment, Internet Cafe, international phone calls, and most importantly advice services to get people out of homelessness for good.

There's a ton of IT that goes on: We need internet connectivity to run our centres (and to provide our clients with Wi-Fi), software to manage everything that goes on in a centre like inventory / incidents / client relationships, making sure we have enough IT supplies like hardware (desktops, tablets and printers), and the list goes on. On top of that, we need a robust service desk to help our (also volunteer) users if they run into issue with IT.

We would appreciate any volunteers in any IT specialities (hardware, software, SRE, VoIP, tech support, etc) in any level (student, starting out or years in the field) to join us and help out with developing and maintaining IT solutions to ensure our event is a success and lift people out of homelessness. As a volunteer at Crisis myself, I've learnt a lot of things I wouldn't have a chance to do in my real job, and that's what makes it interesting to volunteer here.

I can be reached at timothy.choi (at) crisis.org.uk if you have questions or would like to know more.
Jeremy Corbin and George Knapp were on Rogan recently talking about Grusch and what was said seemed like some really poor decision making on Grusch part, not least of which was Grusch decision talking to those guys. In that way, what you say is believable. BUT it does not explain the credible eye witness and sensor data around sightings such as tic tac and others. So, in my view the reality must be somewhere in between. Whether that's extraterrestrial or not, hanlons razor suggest not.
Perhaps they can seize this pile of cobblestones I have, in case they need to pave a road to somewhere warm.
Nah, I've just accepted it as part of life. If my bank is already using Google Analytics, what difference does it make if Chrome juices the data a bit more? And as far as tracking what content I view, I only use that browser for work, so I actually want it to learn about me (e.g. I have Google search history enabled on that account). Any browsing for leisure, medical, political, etc. purposes, I do in Firefox where I only log into pseudononymous accounts not associated with my main email or name.

But I do disable as much Chrome telemetry as possible, including features like auto-suggest and pre-loading, and I don't "log in" to the browser with my Google account (despite the constantly changing dark patterns trying to trick me into doing that). It's not much but it's good enough.
Betteridge's Law can be trivially confuted. For example one could make a blog post titled "Did the Sun Raise Yesterday?" I don't dare trying the law with a headline like that about tomorrow though.
I read NIP-57 just now.

I guess what confused me is I've used Nostr clients where everyone has a Zap button. Who is holding onto those lighting receive addresses until they specify where they want the funds to go?

Like if someone Zaps me right now, I haven't specified a place for those Zaps to go. Do I call the Damus staff and they send the total of the micropayments Zapped to me over Nostr to a Bitcoin receive address? I don't think anyone has Zapped me, I'm just trying to wrap my mind around how it works since I was wrong earlier.

Maybe I need to set aside an afternoon and read about how Lighting works, perhaps I just don't get that protocol.
While neither animated nor as large as animatedknots, the Notable Knot Index

https://notableknotindex.webs.com/

contains a short list of knots along with insightful comments on their use. Some, like the Slipped Buntline Hitch, show alternative forms to alleviate deficiencies (jamming in this case) or for different use cases. One of my favorites is the Versatacle, which provides a pulley like mechanical advantage. It's been my go-to tensioning knot since learning about it. Animated Knots is great for understanding the form of knots like the Zepplin Bend, and I use both sites when learning a new knot or brushing up on an old one.
