Even IF the call was completely accurate, then it STILL is not a good thing to go in shooting. Why? Because then you KNOW there are innocent people in there. Because there is ALWAYS the possibility that there is no reason to shoot. There is ALWAYS a possible better solution.
You need people who are qualified to asses the situation and determine if it is actually dangerous. A caller will NEVER be able to do that. Not even if he is inside.
So I say that even IF the situation was indeed as told on the phone, it STILL did not mean that the action was ok. The fact that the police had a perspective where they thought this was a situation where deadly force was ok is by itself a problem.
"I was very much looking forward to being there with you. Sadly, based on the tremendous anger an open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, at this time to have this long-planned meeting. Therefore, please let this letter to serve to represent that the Singapore summit, for the good of both parties, but to the detriment of the world, will not take place." This part was written in a calm but stern manner. What we get then is "You talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used." This is written with how we know he writes. So I think that he indeed added this as he did not understand that the first part already said the same thing, but in a much more diplomatic wording.
So if I would kill my father, hold my mother and siblings hostage and soak the house in gasoline, but then call the cops they would not shoot me? As a European this is so wrong on so many levels.
I live in Brussels. We had a fucking terrorist attack at the airport. People where killed. At one moment the knew where they where and arrested them. They did not go in and killed everybody. These where known terrorists and they STILL did not just shoot them.
Yes, it might have been dangerous to go in. Yes, that could have meant that 3 people might have been killed. It STILL is no excuse to go all gun ho and start shooting. It was clear they had not all the information.
And if he wanted to kill his mother and kids, he would have done that already IF the information was correct.
Damn and fuck. A huge part of the problem is that you (and many others) are ok with the fact that the police shot somebody. "Hey, not their fault." Well, it WAS their fault. They are not a tool, like a gun. You can not say, "The police does not kill people, people kill people." They are aware that people will lie to bring others into throuble. And it is even a bigger issue if they don't.
It reminds me of that video where some Swedish policemen in the NY tube held a person instead of beating him to pulp. And yes, criminals have guns in the rest of the world. It still does not mean that shooting is in any way the first option. It is the last option. The very last option. You stand outside and ask what is going on. And even when you go in, you STILL do not start shooting. This is not a video game. There is no respawn. "I had no other choice" is not good enough.
There are a multitude of things they could have done differently even if the information would have been correct. The fact that "he was a dead man walking" is an issue. He should not be looked at it in that way.
I know a TV news editor who amuses himself by cutting talks of politicians in such a way that they say something different than what they intended. He does this for all politicians, regardless of what their actual opinion is.
Now I am not saying that he does this all the time. Just when he is a bit bored. He already does this for several years.
So don't believe what you see, hear or read. (Not even this.)
I know that is how it is done in Belgium by court order. As explained here
This is still the case. If I use my providers DNS, I do get a message about the block. If I use 1.1.1.1 or my own DNS server, I do not get it. You can also try out one of the following https://www.lifewire.com/free-...
Is it done on DNS level? If so, just change your DNS server to 1.1.1.1 and you are good. Why is there no DNS server readily available that only listens to localhost and without the ability to configure anything, includiing domain names. All DNS server software does way too much for most people who want tp avaid using third part DNS.
On the one hand I could turn of the IoT stuff as they add nothing really. On the other hand it is just my toaster and it runs Linux, so it is secure, right?
Advertising? It can not even deliver relevant content. With YouTube I started a test for one month where I am logged in. I am subscribed to around 200 channels and now when it suggests channels I will get 95% the channels I already look at and the other 5% are clearly sponsored or things that would get a lot of sponsors and in no way interesting for me.
So it will be: Hey you listen to rock band Whatever, so here is every number they ever played in every version. Oh and as a variety, here is the latest pop-person who the companies paid us to push.
I assume we have pilots because of Unions. Anyhow: if marketing companies know what people will feel and think because of the logo of a company and every word that is used, I assume they are pretty well aware what the perception is when you call something an autopilot.
This can mean several things and one does not conclude the other. The team that came up with the use of 'autopilot' for their system where all pilots and assumed everybody understood the real meaning of it. If that is the case, they where wrong and they are pointed out a few times already. The people who came up with it wanted people to think that it did more than it actually did. That costed a few lives. The company has not corrected them. They picked a random name out of a dictionary and by accident landed on the word 'auto pilot'. They have still not corrected it.
They are hiding behind a dictionary, just like a kid that tries to outsmart its parents by telling them he is not hitting his brother. His brother is hitting himself and he even asks him to stop hitting himself.
It is a standard "blaming the victim". They willfully misinformed the people and now they try to look innocent. Fuck em all to hell.
There's a certain class of automation problem where getting to a 90% solution is easy, getting to 95% takes a lot of work, and getting to 97% is extremely hard.
You are comparing it to numbers. Specially the 100% solution. If I make a machine that is right 55% of the time, you would call that a failure as you are not anywhere the 100%. I could call it a success as it is better that the human who did in the same job 50%.
We are not comparing if the car is perfect. We ask if it is better than a human.
As we are talking cars, I will use another example: bowling. If I make a robot that is able to bowl, it might not have a perfect score every time. It might not even be as good as the professional bowlers. There will be absolutely some gutter balls. Yet his average score is better than the average bowler and he keeps getting better without ever getting worse. And even at 90% that will be better than the average human.
You work in automation and they have already placed things into production where you know that they are not perfect. We put people into traffic who are not perfect either. So compare those two. And if things are difficult; there used to be a time we did things, not because they where easy, but because they were hard.
Tell him you think he is a socialist, because he wants to bring power to the masses. And that is why you like him. You have a few years to work out details and examples. Can be used for any politician, so it does not matter if he does not run for a double dip.
If you want to compare, you need to have something that is the same to compare. If you do random tests, you do not have a serious test and wasted the money.
So what needs to be done is to refine the test. e.g. not just put a car on rollers and drive 55 MPH for a certain time, but simultate increase and deacrease in speed and also see that wind is accounted for.
The problem you will have is that you then will need to know what an average trip is. Do people look at the speed while accelaration or not? Do they do it on what other cars are doing or what their car is able of doing? Going from 0-30MPH in a high muscle car will be different when you drive than with a small car, most likely. And that will infliuence the outcome as well.
So to compare, it is still better to have the car coll a fixed speed for a fixed amount of time, as that will give something to compare.

Many examples of how other nations deal with armed people and confirmed terrorist prove that you are wrong.
