This is great! Walking through the numbers mentally kinda works, but it seems people are always suspicious they're being had. Seeing it live will be very reassuring.


Was just strolling through a park yesterday and walked across a duck with a big tag on each leg. Thought to myself that even in seeking nature, nothings natural. We know down to the family level what the animals are doing.

It can have it's upsides, but it's also disgusting in its own way. And just like you I thought to myself how I love analysis, but I don't have enough confidence in fellow men to feel ok with them doing the analysis.


Wow I guess I don't have nearly the knowledge of redis as many others here, but either way redis has been one of my favorite coding experiences! It works well, it's reliable, and it's very easy. Thanks so much for your efforts man!


"The majority of people dealing with cops are black"

Um, source? Using the link below, that's clearly not the case.

I'm sure there are bad prosecutors, but Netflix is hardly a source to look into something like this. They tend to make very compelling, but obviously biased, documentaries.

But I agree with your sentiment otherwise.


"You don’t get coordinated responses like that without planning and practice."

I disagree. That's what makes this so much more difficult. If it required planning and practice, we could find the meeting place and itinerary and correct it.

This is much more subtle. This is the kind of thing you can get when you group like minded individuals together and give them power. Without directly orchestrating, they pick up cues and work together.

It's like when a company hires a new person and there's no rule explicitly saying they have to work overtime, but they see everyone else doing it and soon they are too.


It’s both. Some police officers study “killology” and “how to be a predator” way more than de-escalation.


Not that I'm going to be the average user here, but I'm desperate to pay for a search engine that works like I want.

I've lost so many hours on google that the cost would make itself up. Just yesterday stuck in another gRut, looking for "what is X" to receive nothing but "how to implement X!".

Valuable hours lost every week. I'd happily pay for a search engine that just got it right.

"It does nothing to address why portions of the population feel so disenchanted they turn to hate."

To me this seems like the broader context that's necessary to actually decrease hate and hate related attacks. These are real people online posting things that really express their feelings about society. A ton of trolling too, of course. But these people aren't just going to go away or get healthy.

Maybe censorship is a good measure to reduce attacks, as it's harder for these individuals to organize and promote each other to act. But then again maybe this response is just the obvious thing corporate entities have to do to wipe their hands of it while we further decentralize hate and make it harder to monitor.

I don't know. I don't have the data and I'm certainly not advocating anything nor saying somethings bad. To me the conversation just doesn't intuitively lead me to believe that were attacking the right problem.


I don't see how it could be that dangerous assuming the doc first looked it over and couldn't find anything by hand. How would a tubing fork seriously hurt a small fracture if applied with skill?


You're spot on. To me this seems like an inevitable future caste system. Did you grow up anywhere less than pleasant (ie lower income)? You're probably going to have more "bad" things to say online when you're younger (or maybe even overall.) Because when you don't grow up with two high earning parents in a nice community odds are you're gong to be exposed to that stuff more and likely even have to adapt some of it to fit in. So then we'll see what we see now - elites raining down on the rest of society saying certain language is unacceptable - and strong arming a moral perspective to make opponents the bad guys.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not talking outright racism or threatening speech, im talking general fowl language, bitter truths that the privileged would rather not consider, etc. If you doubt this consider how much backlash trump gets for saying something like - Baltimore is a shit hole - and how the left spins it to say that makes him racist. Imagine that fire power directed at some humble small time politician in the future who could maybe actually solve local poverty issues because they know the reality of it, only to be pulled off the stage for using "bad language".

Maybe we'll collectively get over it on the individual basis but when major economies are hedging the behavior, I just see this as yet another tool for the haves to control the have nots and limit their ability to usurp power.


>Because when you don't grow up with two high earning parents in a nice community odds are you're gong to be exposed to that stuff more and likely even have to adapt some of it to fit in.

Even if you did, racism, sexism, transphobia, Islamophobia, anarcho-capitalism, etc. are very natural or intuitive things to fall into and then advocate.

That's why stupid people often advocate them; they're obvious, knee-jerk, simple explanations of reality. Why is every white country wealthy and every black country poor? Oh, simple: the races are inherently unequal. It takes some wisdom or observed context and thought to climb your way out of them. Oh, environment is actually a major determinant of IQ (insofar as that's an impartial standard). Oh, tropical environments are hell to live in (yet they look so pretty). Oh, there's a rich history of colonial exploitation that I never knew about.

Education helps, but, initially, you come into reality as a machine that tries to solve complicated problems impatiently and heuristically, not as a nuanced encyclopedia of knowledge. Therefore, you will inevitably enter (and perhaps never leave) a phase of boneheaded and harmful beliefs.

Embrace and encourage anonymity/pesudonymity. It's nice to have adults accountable for what they say, but it's misguided to hold kids to the same standard.


I like how complex relationships between many people with a rich history and daily awareness of their surroundings are nailed down to simple stupidity in your comment. A guy just tries to tell that a harsh language doesn’t define a person.

“nice to have adults accountable for what they say”

As an eastern bloc citizen, I don’t even.
