Given that we hear about several deaths caused by SWAT invasions each year, either your anally-produced numbers are wildly incorrect or there are millions and millions of SWAT raids per year.
This wasn't SWAT; it was regular cops. Obviously you just hear what you want to hear.
The fact is an innocent person was killed. By the very people who were supposed to be protecting said person.
Yes, it's tragic. About as tragic as when a patient dies on the operating table, or overdoses on perception medication. Shall we start locking up doctors who make an incorrect decision?
How many accidental and completely preventable murders / killings / accidental executions * of innocent people would be an acceptable number, in your opinion?
I'm perfectly fine with the current numbers. How many would be acceptable in your opinion?
*It's hard to neutrally term the act of intentionally discharging a firearm into someone causing them to die, isn't it?
Only if you're incompetent; the neutral term is "killing".
Um. Jolly Roger doesn't do any checking/verification. You're basically filtering out any numbers you don't reckognize and sending them into the abyss.
I use Jolly Roger too, but I would never do it that indiscriminately. Insteas I've switched to using a VoIP service, and set it up so that it presents all callers with an IVR by default. Phone numbers which I reckognize get filtered to bypass the IVR, while everyone else gets a "press 1 to be connected" message. Human callers press 1 and pass through, while robocalls get stuck there so I never hear them. Every once in a while I check the call log and look for any numbers which keep calling repeatedly without actually getting through; those get added to a filter that forwards them to Jolly Roger on future attempts, for my amusement.
very people who protect you are so fucking trigger happy that they are likely to shoot you when you call for help
The fact that you're ignorant enough to refer to a one-in-many-million occurrence as "likely" - and that multiple jackasses found your statement "insightful" - is a sad commentary on the Slashdot crowd. Apparently today's geeks don't actually understand this whole math thing.
Or, you know, they almost certainly DID notice, and this is just the usual crappy reporting.
It's not as if her condition is unique; there are plenty of other documented cases of people who couldn't feel pain. She's just the first one to have her DNA sequenced in an attempt to figure out why.
It is hard to take you seriously when you spit out nonsense like this. If you really want to evangelise for solar you should at least try to keep your claims in the realm of plausibility, otherwise even people who might have been swayed by your argument will immediately write you off.
If we are going to move to just one time coordinate, I would seriously hope we would get rid of that am/pm bullshit too. A 24 hour clock is way more logical than two 12 hour clocks.
No, you idiot. Hitting people in a riot during a protest-counter-protest is not the same level of violence as murder or mass murder.
Agreed; which is why nothing your "alt-right" has ever done can hold a candle to the mass murder perpetuated in the name of communism. If you're really worried about mass murder, start clamping down on those who express left-wing political opinions.
Facebook actively fights attempts to radicalize its users. 8chan actively promotes it, opening new boards and creating FAQs/sticky posts to assist.
Facebook's overactive and politically biased censorship strategies just result in people being driven away from its platform towards places like 8chan.
If the goal is to de-radicalize people then we should be encouraging them to speak in places where their ideas can be countered by those who disagree; not isolating them off in their own communities where they'll mostly be surrounded by similarly disenfranchised people who share the same beliefs.
Actually, with experience and a perceptive mind, you'll find that the most vocal so-claimed proponents of "libertarian" ideas are full of horse-pucky
That's true, and also irrelevant. The great thing about libertarians is that no matter how many crappy ideas they have, they don't try to force them on me. Can't say the same thing about authoritarians, regardless of their leanings on the left/right axis.
But if you put a new light on the console, you must train about this light and the correcting actions upon turning it on.
That's an incorrect assumption. The airlines which did order AOA indication and/or the disagree light didn't receive a different training package for it. If you look in NASAs ASRS database you can find anonymous reports from pilots complaining that several lights and knobs in the 737 MAX cockpit weren't covered in their training, and some of the knobs weren't even documented in the flight manual.
An AOA disagree light in particular wouldn't inherently require any "correcting action". It can illuminate even when the system is functioning correctly, just due to aircraft orientation. But even assuming there were any extra training for it, I'm not sure why you assume that pilots who couldn't remember their runaway trim emergency procedures would have remembered what to do about an AOA light.
Oh it definitely can be. I'm guessing you're not a pilot. Different aircraft have different ways of deploying reverse thrust, but none of them make it particularly hard; it generally tends to be a continuation of the "down throttle" movement with the addition of some movement in a different direction at the point of transition.
I find it extremely unlikely that "the code good changed", and now I am starting to question your entire description of the incident. What flight number was this? When did it occur? There seems to be no record of it.
The only incident I'm familiar with which comes close to what you're talking about is an acceptance check of a brand new Airbus during which the personnel operating the aircraft intentionally overrode the WOW switch while doing what was supposed to be a stationary test of the engines. They apparently got tired of hearing an alarm and pulled the WOW breaker to fool the aircraft into thinking it was in the air, at which point the brakes immediately released and they went rocketing down the taxiway before crashing into a concrete wall.
If that's the incident you're thinking of, then no, idiots disabling a system they didn't really understand is not an engineering error, and no, there was no "fix" for it other than to tell subsequent crews to not be retarded.

You don't recall it correctly. The officer was positioned at a distance, providing overwatch, well before the suspect exited the building.

Cancers are also a common mutation. Doesn't make them normal.

How bad can it really be if they keep going back for more?
Humanity is only good at one thing, and that is turning anything and everything into a weapon.
Nah We are ok at that, but we are WAY better at making up conspiracy theories and ridiculous gloom-and-doom predictions.
It is already on parity with coal.

It's only a matter if time until "play protect" flags F-Droid as a harmful app. They're already flagging Aptoide.
Idiotic is believing Appeal to Nature Fallacy applies in the domain of ethics not in the risk domain
FTFY
the extraordinary claim is that artificial blue light is not harmful... prove it, because we have evolved without it.
That's idiotic. It's the appeal to nature fallacy on steroids

You basically called ~82% of the world population stupid
Yeah, that number does seem far too low ...
Yeah, they'll hold me at gunpoint and force me to be free. Terrifying.
I'm pretty sure that's an Alex Jones quote right there ...

If it's so readily available, what's your excise for making shit up about his goals instead of commenting on what he actually stated in it?
What's with all the pedo jokes? I was expecting to see something more like ...
while answer is None:
print "God did it."
They also realized their mistake, grounded the plane, and tracked him down. So it sounds like the process worked.
