First, "the media" should do something, but we can't legislate that. Secondly, "the power to press charges separate from the DA"--this is a stronger form of getting rid of qualified immunity. We already have the

Okay so what would you propose as the mechanism for focusing on that primary issue?

I live basically in the CHAZ in Seattle, they haven't taken over anything. The police just abandoned the precinct building and left it unlocked and people are gathering peacefully to listen to other people speak. It's like a str

Over the last week I have been starting to realize that what you said is true in general, and not just of protests. It seems that police inflame and instigate most of the violent situations they are involved in. We are literally paying to

Which makes these even more egregious because it means there are still more cases that weren't recorded. These are just the ones we know about!

The misattributed authors are fake names, admitted by Timothy Parker himself. "Tim Burr" is one mentioned in the talk.

It loads everything into memory, so it works well with <1GB datasets. The architecture could be changed to allow for larger datasets like yours, but that would likely be a large undertaking and would probably be a paid feature.

Oracle has this clause. It's the main reason I chose not to work there.

Hi, this is Saul. If you like this kind of simplicity-first data-exploration approach, you might want to check out another project of mine, VisiData (visidata.org). It's specifically for lightweight data exploration and analysis and

This is correct. I live 3 blocks from CHAZ and I was gassed in my apartment 3 nights last week. I feel much safer without the police around right now.

I also view the initial "overreaction" as a kind of bootcamp for virus lockdown. Know what you need, how it works, what you'll be allowed to do, etc, so that when a local area needs to lockdown again, we'll be set up fo

So now in order to transmit the mnemonic you have to communicate the lineage of the command. "more" begat "less" begat "zless"... Punny names stop being funny after a few years. How about a general principle

For some it's come back. More rarely it stays gone for months. Hard to know about 'permanent' since it's only been 6 months this thing has been around.

That's only if infection grants lifetime immunity. Other coronaviruses (like those that cause colds) only grant immunity for 4-12 months. We don't know if this coronavirus is the same, but if it is, we may not be able to achieve

No, but you should self-isolate. And if you test positive, people you came into contact with should be notified. And this isn't a retcon. I got TTSI from vihart's video which was based on this work published in April: https:&#x

In addition to preventing hospitals being overwhelmed, the lockdowns were intended to give us time to develop the infrastructure for adequate testing, tracing, and supportive isolation. With those things in place, we can re-open and still

Maybe you are using 'head busting' metaphorically, but no one needs to have their head actually busted, unless what they need is to be dead. In which case, the cop needs to kill them, with their bodycam on, so the inquest can be

If the system worked then you could argue that cops have a reasonable right to be armed. But the system is not working, and 10x people without guns are killed by cops, than are cops killed. Plus whenever a cop is actually killed, the enti

I believe there are two main ways of cooling: convection and radiation. Convection requires a gas or liquid carrier to be in contact with the hot substance; it seems like it would be very difficult to get water (steam) into direct contact

Yeah they're donating the money to their self-in-3-months, who has even less than they do now, with no job and no prospects and no bailout on its way.

Then we have to figure out how to use whatever power we have within this corrupt system to decorrupt it. The "fun" answer, to burn the system down, does not leave a better system in its place. The individual components are left t
