I meant something like Washington DC's OPC[1]. Note that these commissions are not themselves perfect; they're typically limited in authority to "recommendations," which the police (or DA) may still ignore.

However, to answer the following (which isn't what I meant, but I think is interesting):

> but assuming it’s a private firm would you not have the same criticism that it’s not a neutral third party and is biased towards whoever hired them?

I think the answer to this is similar to the answer found in arbitration: arbitration is typically performed by a well-known firm, and that firm is obligated through contract to perform fair proceedings. In other words: there are civil penalties on the table if the independent party does not execute their job fairly.

That being said, I think an unrelated but still governmental investigation arm would be sufficient here.

> What is the role of a state level investigation bureau if not to investigate state-level issues involving state agencies?

You can find the GBI's services listed here[2]. They have a lot of responsibilities, most of which aren't tied to investigation of local police. I think it'd even be fair to say that they aren't particularly equipped to investigate local forces.

They didn’t disable their bodycams. The department that shot Teran doesn’t have them in the first place. This is obviously a problem, but it’s not as serious of a problem as willfully disabling them before shooting someone.
This sounds a lot like Codd's framing of the relational model "problem" in his 1970 ACM paper. [0] His solution was to decouple logical from physical access. That framing and the solution still seem correct to me for the data lake use case.

This implies that any lower level storage formats we pick can morph to better optimized forms in a way that does not alter query semantics. It's not possible to solve this without adding refinements to the framing, such as whether data is mutable/immutable, and adding infrastucture to the solution, like metadata management and alternate projections of data. Vertica/C-Store introduced the latter a couple of decades ago. [1]

Well if they are only going to use the data for good purposes and not for nefarious purposes or for sale, then there is no downside to just writing it into their contracts and privacy policy.

Just add a irrevocable guarantee that they will never sell or transfer to someone who will sell any data and if they do the company will immediately dissolve and become encumbered with a debt of the highest seniority equal to all lifetime company revenues to the people whose medical data they have. The C-suite and Board of Directors must also provide a personal financial guarantee equal to their entire compensation package, and must provide sworn testimony yearly that they are engaging in no business deals which include the sale of private medical data.

Since they do not intend to ever use the data for bad purposes, they have nothing to lose by keeping their word. Literally no downside to them since they were not going to do it anyways and it provides peace of mind to the public, a win-win.
Yeah, that guy simply described ChatGPT with plugins. For e.g., when you use the Wolfram plugin and ask GPT-4 to perform some calculations, it'll call on Wolfram's specialized software to perform or check them -- which is a major improvement. (Wolfram's plugin is the only one that I keep on all the time, it's so good.)
I believe that OpenAI is not required to attribute you if the output was produced by an OpenAI-operated AI model because the AI is not constrained by the Berne Convention treaty regime in the same way that people are.

> So build them. I don't understand why the fact that this or that person built it is relevant.

I don’t think the specific person that built it is important, that would be ridiculous. But I can completely see the argument that structures built by cultures that evolved in exact environment they’re being built in are much more likely to be ecologically beneficial, than those designed by cultures foreign to that environment.

The local culture will be filled to brim with historical knowledge and techniques all formed and shaped by the unique resources and requirements of their local area. You could rediscover all of that knowledge using the scientific method, but why bother? The local cultures have already done the heavy lifting, just find away to continue applying it. I don’t see why it’s surprising that indigenous peoples end up building more ecologically appropriate structures.

> Anti-scientific garbage. The author clearly has a preconceived notion that Europe and Enlightenment ideals (presumably including science) are evil, and the rest is derived from that.

Quite frankly, Europe/science has just been through an extend period of believing that humans are capable of overcoming nature, and can generally just ignore ecological consequences, because future technology will deal with those consequences (the Victorians were renowned for this type of thinking, something the UK is still dealing with today). We of course know now that just ignoring nature and building over it results in an unimaginable number of unintended consequences, and far more that we’re capable of innovating our way out of. Overall it’s smarter to avoid impacting our environment as much of possible, and to use tools and techniques that are sympathetic to the local environment, rather than treating the local environment as an obstacle to be removed.

You're right to be skeptical. There's a lot of agendas, signalling, contrarianism, and ignorance involved in the area of nutrition.

A lot of the anti-carb stuff is from people who think eating meat all the time is best and don't want to hear different.

Organ meats. Bon apetite.

Fascinating. This isn't a space I follow, but the data is eye-opening. To contextualize it for myself a bit more, I checked out annual earnings [1] instead of lifetime and compared it to the overall global list [2] of athletes across all sports.

One interesting takeaway is that it looks like eSports are still a couple orders of magnitude away from breaking into that rarefied air — the top eSports athletes earned ~$1.8M over the last year, while the cutoff to make it in the list of top 50 global highest-earning athletes is ~$45M. It wouldn't surprise me to see eSports start making it up there over the next couple decades, though.

The second interesting takeaway is that, for many athletes in the global top 50, their off-the-field earnings are a big part of their total. By contrast, endorsement deals for eSports athletes don't seem like much of a thing nowadays, other than the occasional team-up for a gaming mouse/keyboard. This seems like it'd be a growth area for eSports over the next couple decades, too.

TL;DR: I wish there were some way to buy some ETFs or stake some athletes in the eSports space. It seems like it has a lot of growth ahead of it still.

Yes this is the most disorienting thing about using a non native language. You're aware that you aren't able to convey intended connotation or comprehend it. So even if you are perfectly capable of all the right denotation, you're still missing an entire layer of communication.

It's even more difficult when a language is spoken in different cultures. Eg, British, American and Australians probably have different connotations associated with the same words. Distinguishing between using a synonym out of custom vs intentionally for a different connotation is very difficult. It's not like there's a connotation dictionary you can refer to.
More than likely it's because you understand the world works on probability and very little certainty.

Things that are potentially deadly, like flying an aircraft, attempt to remove as much probability as possibly. You make checklists of behaviors before the emergency happens so you think as little as possible.

Or a more inflammatory statement I've been known to say to others "Certainty is for the religious and conmen alike".
One thing that doesn't help is that you have a founder name on your about page, but I'm unable to find that person where I would expect. I also don't see your company registered as an LLC in Colorado.

This is the line from your website, I see two major problems:

* Your building a product that essentially competes directly with Stripe. I'm not sure on Stripe's specific terms, but most companies do not allow you to use their platform to compete with them. If they don't explicitly disallow it, it's often in some ambiguous term. I don't see how you ever expected to build directly on Stripe (or another "developer friendly" service). You need to work at a lower level where the provider doesn't offer a directly competing service.

* Caveat. I don't fully understand what your doing. "It only takes ONE click" screams "we're extremely risky and don't take proper measures to ensure transaction validity". Fraud is a major problem for Stripe (and all online transaction services). This line reads a lot like you'll be bypasing Stripe's protections and enabling risky transactions. Stripe can't allow that type of risk.

I know it's easy to be an armchair critic, but these seem like pretty obvious risks of the business you went into. Complaining that Stripe killed your business is not genuine. This is basic risk management that failed.
I generally believe that if you have the time, making a program memory-safe is a good idea. Honestly, when people make open-source clones of software, I think that's a very good thing.

Not only can this help the community have memory-safe code to read, learn from, and use, but it can also help you get better as a programmer.
FWIW, in a world with very few major game engines and very few major game platforms, I'm elated that the latter might not be allowed to purchase the former, as it is trivial to predict how Meta would decide--whether explicitly as the reason they bought it in the first place or implicitly from incentivized lack of interest in the alternative--that Unity would become a tool that only can be used to develop apps for Quest.
It depends. What is your definition of "security"? There's lots of dimensions of security in the web serving space. If you list out your requirements and specify your threat model, then answers become a lot clearer.

But yes, in general: Caddy's one-liner is a safe way to serve static files in the sense that remote services can't upload files or escape memory bounds to run arbitrary code. It encrypts your connections for you, so they're basically safe from surveillance and modification.

The elements you're describing are all external factors that have nothing to do with serving static files specifically. For example, a reverse proxy just multiplexes requests coming in on a port to various backends, maybe making modifications along the way. Authentication will restrict access to only allowed users, if that's something you require. Containers are more a way of administering a system or mitigating very specific risks that have niche relevance with static Go programs; and VLANs are just ways of isolating network traffic, but again it's somewhat orthogonal to file serving.

Overall, `caddy file-server` is better than Python's simple HTTP server in every way, though: static binary, faster performing, production-ready (handles Range requests properly, and a few other details), automatic HTTPS, folder indices, etc...
It doesn't have to pass Occam's razor. It has to pass (or would have had to, had they not killed him) the standard of reasonable doubt.

I tend not to eat breakfast, but working from home, making nice oatmeal for lunch is easy and very filling -- I never need to snack before end of work and dinner. I'm sure for most people who do like to eat breakfast, it would work great as a breakfast. Everything is available at Costco in shelf/freezer-stable bulk quantities for quite cheap and at good quality, and it takes 5 minutes to make, which primarily consists of opening and closing bags, and cleaning the pot at the end -- the "cooking" is entirely passive:

- 1/4 cup sprouted oats

- bit less than a handful of frozen mango, frozen strawberries, 1 banana

- small amount of goji berries

- 1 tbsp ground flax

- 1/3 tbsp cinnamon

- 1 cup water

Stir to mix and then pressure cook in instant pot for 10 minutes. Prepare large eating bowl with:

- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

- 1/2 cup walnuts

Pour porridge on top and mix (the frozen berries will defrost and bring everything to almost a good eating temperature, but leaving enough time to clean the pot before it has truly cooled enough). I guessed on a few measurements since I only really measure the oats, water, and powdered ingredients and eyeball everything else. Easy to adapt for >1 person.

I'd never bother trying to find a "healthy" cereal in a box as long as I had access to basic cooking and food storage facilities.
So for starters, insider trading exists and while it would be great to live in a world where it doesn’t, we live in this world where it certainly does.

Second, even in a magical world where this doesn’t happen, institutional investors have literal teams of analysts working for them. They have bots responding to news reports and public filings, and the lowest latency possible connections to trading platforms.

You have none of this.

These AI companies not complying with the licenses on code has meant since Microsoft released their code generator I haven't contributed a single line of open source software nor released any of my projects that way. I removed a bunch a while ago and I will likely remove all of them when I get around to it. I have been fixing bugs and releasing open source projects for decades and I just stopped the moment they did that. Open source is dead to me if the licenses can't be enforced.
