I still don't see it being justified. The only time I can see no-knock raids being okay is if a person is being held hostage.

Does identifying work though? What's stopping an intruder from doing that? I just don't see how no-knock warrants like this are supposed to work.

> A Policeman died, the guy dropped his gun immediately after police identified themselves. Can you actually believe them though? What if the intruder does what the shooter in Canada did and impersonates the police?

There's this idea that we should add 10000 years to our calendar. It's called the Holocene calendar.[0] The argument for using a calendar like this is that it would make it easier to understand historical dating and it would rough

I think the idea of punishment is mostly preventative (because there will be consequences). However, harsher punishments don't necessarily increase this effect.

I hope so too. This seems like one of the most important things to tackle, but how safe is it? What's the chance that 50 years down the line we figure out that this has some damaging effect on the human body?

It's undoubtedly true that from an individual's perspective it can seem like a curse. However, what's important in discussions like this is the utility it provides to the population - how it makes people's lives and thei

The parent poster's point is that life has significantly improved in ways that aren't easily expressed through monetary value. If you lived in the 70s you could not have the convenience of a smartphone no matter how rich you were.

I'm not sure that increasing the punishment would help. They need to actually be punished for breaking the rules. Not sometimes, but every time they break those rules.

What happened to George Floyd has happened to white people too. Tony Timpa was one such victim.[0] Another one was Joseph Hutcheson.[1] Hopefully there can finally be change in the police, so that it doesn't happen again to anyone. [0]

This is why large social media platforms need to have their hands tied when it comes to free speech. They either have it or they don't. This kind of back and forth where they claim to support free speech, but any time somebody says som

I don't think the network side is the issue in almost any MMO when it comes to the client. The amount of data that is sent and received is tiny. It's most likely the number of draw calls that is the performance bottleneck. A high

This is standard though. You either suffer unplayable performance or you have a setting like that (eg Lineage 2 suffered from this - what many consider the predecessor to Aion). The main problem usually is the number of draw calls. Due to t

A word of caution: /r/news is quite partisan (so be skeptical). Not as bad as /r/politics, but not too far either. I do agree though that having a variety of what seems to be unusual news sources is pretty good.

Even then, if a server is even half full (1000+ players) the game becomes laggy for everyone. Furthermore, if you go into an area with hundreds of players, then the client can't actually render them all without huge performance issues.

Just to add on to this: it doesn't often even make sense to have more people in one area even if your servers and net code could handle it fine. The players themselves will likely run into severe performance issues with too many people

The important two points are that the client must react immediately to a user's input, but at the same time the server has to have the authoritative game state. One way of doing that is that the server runs the authoritative simulation

Isn't that the difference between what is illegal on paper (according to the law) and what actually gets enforced as illegal? Kids are taught that the law is the law, but in reality only the law that gets enforced matters.

Or maybe that's what the voters are told. Why do so many people suddenly believe politicians? Do you think European politicians don't constantly lie through their teeth?
