> There are "bad apples" in law enforcement, just as with anywhere else, but grouping the law into one evil entity is counterproductive.

Every time I see this, I feel we should remember that the proverb was "few bad apples spoil the whole bunch" not "few bad apples are annoying but the whole bunch is pretty okay".
The acts themselves aren't; introducing external, man-made chemicals to invoke those are usually unnatural though - as in, the body doesn't make them themselves in such quantities. You know what I mean.

Recreational drugs shouldn't be a problem though, as long as the user is aware of its effects and doesn't go overboard. Heavier stuff like heroin should remain illegal though.
Once upon a time (~2003), it was possible to use SMIL to seamlessly play/edit videos from multiple streaming servers, with pre-buffering of clips so that the composite video stream was continuous. This could be hosted at any HTTP address which returned an SMIL file.

Is a similar capability possible today, with any video player?
Solar systems are generally HVDC off the panel. I think in practice you'd tie the three sources (grid, panels, battery) together in the AC domain with a computer monitoring consumption and generation then signalling the battery system to charge or discharge.
Questions:

1. How is this different from a UPS? (Similar capacities can be obtained for less money.)

2. How many cycles can we expect to get out of these? (One assumes these are designed to be cycled more often than a UPS)

3. What are the risks when temperature is outside the operating range? (If non-negligable, the stated operating range of -20C to +43C limits use in some applications, such as field stations without heating (or AC, depending on locale).

4. Is this technology viable on the scale of an entire powergrid? If it's advantageous for individual users, one would think economy of scale would make this more efficient to implement grid-wide.

5. Do these present an additional hazard in the case of fires, floods, etc.?

> I do understand that Baltimore is not the same. Not even remotely. But rioters who destroy other people's property are not gaining themselves any favours.

It seems like you've analyzed the motives and privilege of the rioters in that case, which is exactly what you should do. Just like rioters after sports games (e.g SF Giants riots, Seattle Seahawks riots) are not OK, it sounds to me like your hometown's protests were poorly motivated and terrible.

However, just as you state here they are NOT EQUIVALENT.

Consider their privilege and motives, and it's pretty clear. That's why these Baltimore riots are important and effective and distinct.

I'm not saying people / establishments harmed in the riots deserve to be. But I am also saying the riots as an event should not be simply decried but understood.

'Drug use goes hand in hand with theft'

Do you know how ignorant that sounds? Caffeine and alcohol are drugs, do they go hand in hand with theft? Is everyone legally smoking weed in Colorado a thief too?

'Once you're addicted to drugs, you have to steal to pay for that habit.'

Not all drugs are addictive. Most are less addictive than alcohol, nearly all are less addictive than tobacco. The vast majority of drug users are not addicts. In any sensible country those people who do get addicted would receive help and maintenance doses of their drug and wouldn't need to turn to crime. See Switzerland and their heroin programs.

'It's hardly a victimless crime.'

It's exactly a victimless crime. If someone steals stuff to support a habit THAT is the crime with the victim. Not drug use. FFS.
London boy here. I can completely empathize. My views on Rioting have been completely tainted by the looting and destruction that went on in 2011 over the shooting of Mike Duggan (Which I personally believe was 'justified' - the thug had a gun on him and was suspected to be on his way to commit a crime, but that's getting off point).

I saw the destruction caused, had 'friends' on social media (no longer, obviously) who were bragging about what they had looted. There was absolutely no aim or order to these riots, a lot of independent shops were trashed and looted, people lost livelihoods and for what.

I am acutely aware of my inherent distaste for rioting, I understand that was just one riot and they are not all the same, but it has given me a subconsciously dismissive attitude to riots as a criminal element abusing unrest to get away with robbery and assault.

Slave holders or not seems entirely moot: racism and oppression of colored folk exists RIGHT NOW. The civil rights movement was and continues to be violent, because it needs to be. Yes, all of this happened in a democracy. Yes troops had to help desegregate schools, and we're not even talking about slavery anymore.
In my experience, while it's true its hard to find the right LEDs, it's certainly not impossible. Try some out - you might be surprised. The biggest challenge is that most of what's sold as "warm white" is nothing of the sort, and you might not be able to pick the cheapest LEDs if you're picky about the colour.

Citation needed. Lots of white people are protesting along with blacks. The protests in general are against law enforcement.

> We fail to understand that many of them are not corrupt and are on our side.

This doesn't seem relevant, the protests are not happening against "white people at large." Law enforcement is not on the side of the oppressed in this case. The corruption is systemic.

All they show is its ability to do some specialized airline searching? Which presumably means that is its current limit of functionality. Potentially useful, for sure, but hardly a "New Artificial Intelligence".

Specialized tie in to well understood product spaces like airline ticketing, with a natural language processing engine tied in, is hardly world changing.

One thing that PG does that SQL Server doesn't do by default is it is built with MVCC in mind. If you want MVCC on SQL Server, you need to use snapshot isolation, and for snapshot isolation SQL Server needs to use TempDB.

Eddie Gray et al are the MLK, Rosa Parks, Gandhi of this situation. The riots are often peaceful protests gone awry, and this has happened over the course of various civil rights movement(s).

> The only thing that riots do, in my view, is give a more negative view/stereotype of the class in question - I wouldn't say they are a step forward, but a step backward.

This assumes the reaction to the riots is a stereotype and not people trying to empathize or understand where it's coming from. While there may be some like you who seem to react in the former, journalists and bloggers (and even this discussion! thanks for engaging) are doing their best to make the outcome the latter.

> As for #6, yes, the cost of incarceration is a problem as well, but rioting is not fixing that problem in any way, only making it worse (by putting more people in prison).

Actually rioting is in response to the problem in hopes it'll change, so in the long term making it better. What I'm saying is yes short term cost of riots are a thing. Long term benefit is much greater, long term harm/suffering caused by no awareness is much greater too.

>> HOWEVER, no one seems to spell out exactly who is hypocritical or schizophrenic

To me it's the actions of the country as a whole. On the one hand the citizens set up this incredibly lucrative market, and on the other the (allegedly) democratic governments send out the troops/agents/whatever to make life worse for those in the countries selling/producing.

>> People need to actually stop giving their money directly to the Cartels, right?

It's both, equally. One side creates the market, the other forces it underground. Without the buyers the cartels would fold. If the trade was white-market the cartels would fold. It takes both 'sides', the buyers and the suppressors, to get where we are now.

I'm surprised they don't also cite the first war against drugs (actualy, a drug) - prohibition. Exactly the same scenario played out then as is, hopefully, coming to it's inevitable conclusion now in the 'western hemisphere'. If the same thing is starting up again in the East, it's going to be a bloody and chaotic few decades to come before the same lesson gets learned the third time over.

Fortunately we do have a largely successful, bloodless war on a drug to learn from. Tobacco abuse is less than half what it was back in the early 70s in the US, and similar declines are seen in many European countries. Advertising campaigns, usage restrictions in public places and high taxes have been very effective, and also meant that the medical costs of treating the effects of tobacco abuse have been more than covered by tax revenues from it's sale in many countries.

While campaigns against alcohol abuse have not been as successful, mainly because they have not been as focused on reducing all usage, tax revenues have been high. Normalisation of low levels of use in appropriate circumstances and ammounts have also limited the harmful effects on most abusers and those around them.
Media employees ("journalists") claimed Occupy discredited itself. As well as those activists who think it's all about presenting a list of "demands".

But if you read analyses of people in it (take for example "The Democracy Project" by Graeber), the goal was direct action. It spawned a lot of organizing to fix problems without begging elites. Nor did they decide to become another Tea Party (flunkies to billionaires/politicians). Once they decided to do that, the state and corporate media decided it was an enemy, not a tool. Hence endlessly repeated talking points about how it "discredited itself".

>The Revolution was a bloodbath with ~100,000 casualties or fatalities followed by 62,000 Loyalist/Tory refugees fleeing the country for fear of retaliation and their expropriation (the ones who stayed did not escape persecution); this is a butcher’s bill that did not seem justified in the least by anything in Britain or America’s subsequent history (what, were the British going to randomly massacre Americans for fun?), even now with a population of >300 million, and much less back when the population was 1/100th the size. Independence was granted to similar English colonies at the smaller price of “waiting a while”: Canada was essentially autonomous by 1867 (less than a century later) and Australia was first settled in 1788 with autonomous colonies not long behind and the current Commonwealth formed by 1901.

Spotify is very bad for music discovery.

It has no random feature, the channels they offer are either hand crafted or based on popularity. The music selection excludes many smaller, and indie, labels. The search functionalities are very limited (the metadata is too low quality).

The speed of light has not improved since the days of Quake 3. Network gaming code must still be tolerant of latency up to 100 ms or more. At best, network connections today are a lot better than back then but at worst, they are as bad as they used to.

Quake 3 has also got pretty sophisticated client side prediction code to make things seem instantaneous to the players. This is much more complicated to do in Minecraft where the whole terrain may change and lots of race conditions may arise.

Network game code may seem like a solved problem but it's still a complex distributed soft real time software system where solutions are highly application specific. What works for Quake isn't necessarily good for Command and Conquer or Minecraft.
