I'm fully okay with having officers flee the occupation if they've given themselves reasons to fear a legitimately ruinous suit.

Sounds great. In the U.S. I wouldn't be surprised to see such a group develop a shared identity with the regular police and become corrupt, but maybe it's worth a try.

It would tell me that it doesn't have to do with graphics, and that it probably has to do with networking. That's a whole lot more than is made clear as it is.

That's what I'm saying, is that they shouldn't. And that probably nobody should, because legal recourse is essential, even if it's open to abuse.

> Unfortunately police unions prevent that from being a viable option. Exactly: this should really be in the realm of criminal prosecution, not civil suits, in which case the positives of qualified immunity could remain in place. But we

Because there's no way to draw a clear line between "nuisance" suits and "serious" suits. Go ahead, try articulating it in a precise way that can't be gamed.

I guess what I meant is that VDOM views (at least pure-functional ones like React) can have a much clearer separation between the view logic and the state logic. I don't have to understand how the VDOM works because it's never ent

That makes sense. Thanks! I do still think this new wave is very exciting and I think it will dramatically improve a lot of cases where people have been (IMO) inappropriately using React thus far. Particularly when it comes to the mess that

Well in React the rendering logic could still just be plain functions, though I guess technically those are considered "functional components".

I actually think this is extremely important. One downside of these compilation-driven frameworks is that they would, I assume, make it much more difficult to track with exactly how your code manifests at runtime, and would therefore make i

Maybe I just need to spend more time studying the material, but I struggle to see how these precompiled frameworks can handle any arbitrary state change one might write into their JS rendering logic. For example: suppose I want to take an a

Exactly. The people who really want to can, but the issue with social media is how it amplifies messages that people only casually encounter. Measures like these don't block those who are intent, but they hamper that mass, wildfire-lik

If you do a chargeback, I would definitely download all Google data you care about first. Is it just your emails, or is your business inextricably tied to Google in some way (an Android app perhaps)? If you can migrate away, I would just do

Nobody deleted Trump's posts. Twitter a) attached a "this may be misleading" link to one of them with the link leading to more reputable information on the subject, and b) hid the inflammatory one behind a warning about incit

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that acronyms in general be expanded towards the top, especially when there's a commonly-known overload in the same general subject area. Personally, I've been working in the field

From the comments it looks like all Android phones, even emulators. Crazy.

One thing I don't understand is why the taxpayer ends up paying settlements. If I sue the individual, why does his employer (and therefore the employer's funders) pay the settlement?

I have to think there must be tons of nonprofits that can't afford to keep technical people on retainer for things like their website, internal IT, etc, and so just outsource to crappy firms when they need something (like a new website

Yeah; I would compare railroads/rockets to microcomputers/VR. The latter is definitely impressive, and unique, and evocative for futurists, and has some niche use-cases, but doesn't have a clear "killer app". While

I subscribed for a while and felt the same way. The headlines were mostly emotionally-charged rehashing of what everyone else was covering. If you want unemotional summaries of what everyone else is covering, I really like NPR (they have wr

Past employees likely worked alongside current employees. They certainly placed the group's culture on its trajectory. They have a leg in the game.
