Steve Jobs read and understood the classic "Mythical Man Month", and especially the concept of conceptual integrity applied to user interface design. The Tim Cook era saw a breakdown of design. It was the triumph of "operations over design". With Tim Cook's hands off approach to design.

Given that the user interface is how you interact with the computer, this is a pretty big deal. Today, Apple's user interface is limited by Conway's law: âoeOrganizations which design systems ⦠are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.â

As a consequence, it seems that product managers are making software "more usable" by crippling features, which often creates frustrating and confusing workflows between applications. It's a mess resembling the state of user interface design in 1975, the year that The Mythical Man Month was published.

Have you no compassion for the victim of the crime?

Iran's position is that the destruction of Israel is connected to the Mahdi's return. As in, the end times.

As for "state sponsored terrorism", I assume you don't mean any of the state sponsored terrorism supported by Iran, specifically directed at Israel. When people's lives are literally on the line, they're not going to listen to you when you tell them to lay down their lives, from the comfort of your armchair.

Funny that you suggest Netanyahu is a nazi, because in formally self-governed Gaza, there were literal Nazi memorabilia stores, and an entire culture with deep dies to 1930s/40s Germany.

It's a myth that Ukraine is engaged in some sort of cultural genocide against Russians. Showing that Russian duplicity has no limits, Russia has engaged in a program of cultural genocide in occupied Ukraine.

You can fool some of the people some of the time. But lies catch up with you. And Russia is a country where telling the truth lands you in jail.

Poor vatnik.

Russia and Nazies:

• Task Force Rusich: An openly neo-Nazi paramilitary unit that has fought alongside Russian forces in Ukraine and has had close ties to Wagner.
• Russian Imperial Movement (RIM): A white-supremacist and fascist organization whose paramilitary wing has trained and supplied fighters for Russia's war in Ukraine while maintaining connections with Russian military structures.
• Russian National Unity (RNU): A long-running neo-Nazi movement whose members and veterans joined Russian-backed forces in Donbas, including Pavel Gubarev, who became a senior separatist political figure.
• Española Brigade: A Russian football-ultra military formation with a substantial neo-Nazi element that fought in Ukraine within Russian state-linked military structures.
• Varyag and Svarozhich: Small neo-Nazi detachments that fought within the Russian-backed separatist forces in Donbas before largely disappearing into the broader Russian military apparatus.

And then there's Putin's Russia, itself a Fascist regime:

• Ultranationalism: The state presents Russia as a unique civilization whose collective destiny takes precedence over liberal individualism.
• Leader-centered rule: Political legitimacy is heavily personalized around Putin as the embodiment, defender, and stabilizer of the nation.
• National rebirth: Putinism repeatedly depicts Russia as recovering from the humiliation and decay of the 1990s and restoring its rightful historical greatness.
• Militarism: Military strength, sacrifice, martial virtue, and victory are given unusually prominent roles in state ideology and public culture.
• Anti-liberalism: Liberalism is portrayed as decadent, socially corrosive, excessively individualistic, and frequently as an instrument of hostile Western power.
• Organic conception of society: Individuals, families, church, state, and nation are presented as parts of a larger national organism rather than primarily as autonomous rights-bearing actors.
• Traditionalism: The regime promotes traditional family, religious, gender, and social values as defenses against supposedly decadent modern Western culture.
• Imperial nationalism: Russia is conceived not merely as a nation-state but as the political center of a wider historical and cultural Russian world with claims extending beyond its current borders.
• Enemy politics: Domestic opposition and foreign adversaries are frequently portrayed not simply as competitors but as traitors, subversives, extremists, or agents of hostile powers.
• Subordination of pluralism: Political parties, media, business elites, regional authorities, and civic organizations may exist, but their independence is constrained when it conflicts with the state's political objectives.
• State-directed capitalism: Private property and markets remain, while strategically important businesses and wealthy elites are expected to accommodate the political priorities of the state.
• Historical mythmaking: Selective historical memory, especially surrounding imperial Russia and victory in World War II, is used to provide moral legitimacy and continuity to the contemporary state.

Another poor misunderstood vatnik. Russia isn't even need "living space", yet they invade and destroy, because they're such poor misunderstood victims.

This is an indication of a systemic failure. And a human failure. Both.

But be thankful that you have the system that you have. In China, 99.97% of people arrested are convicted. The police use torture systematically to obtain confessions. Sometimes female suspects will be imprisoned with known rapists.

Be thankful that we're even having a discussion about systemic failure with the Flock database error.

You're inserting advocacy research (which is not reality seeking) into a case where the facts are already pretty clear.

About 20 are unarmed people.

About 8 of those unarmed people are actively attacking the police officer.

Of the remaining 12 -- some were escaping, some were attacking someone else, ..., and a proportion were genuinely innocent people.


This idea that "1/3" of people killed by strangers are killed by police is classic massaging the date, because almost every person who is killed or murdered is done so by someone they know.

The police are continually reforming. We need more reform. We also need a reality based discussion.

Data entry mistakes happen. What is worrying is that it wasn't corrected the first time she was pulled over. Also, the police should have issued an apology. It's the morally correct thing to do; however, I suspect they have legal advise specifically NOT to do this because of ambulance chasing lawyers. Nonetheless there is absolutely a systemic failure here that needs to be addressed.

A mistake was still made, in that the entry should have been removed from the database the first time.

PoliceViolenceReport -- an advocacy organization btw -- reports 2x fatal police incidents. So, since 2017, we have about 15 per year instead of 7. So you're way over your skiis. Did you read the "excellent data"?

And it isn't apples-to-apples. Because PoliceViolenceReport is measuring a different *thing*. We're no longer looking at just shootings, but other types of fatal incidents, such as the use of police vehicles.

The Washington Post reviewed shootings of unarmed individuals, and found 40% (!) were physically attacking the officer in question.

When it comes to HARMLESS people SHOT by policy, PoliceViolenceReport and the Washington Post agree.

That means that YOUR SOURCE agrees with the OP.

If there were really justice in this world

I get your point and I agree in principle.

$100M? Really?

Btw, if this were china, they have a 99.97% conviction rate. The police arrest someone. They are tortured until they confess. 3 in 1000 escape prison.

For all its flaws, be thankful that we live in a system that we have. A $100M lawsuit would not make it better, unless most of it went to pay defendants legal fees. We also need way more judges. Like 10x as many judges.

The price may not have been a check. The government was telling them who the boss is. It is morally suspect to shake down business like this; however, maybe Dario really was a pain in the a**. It's hard to know what really happened here.
