This is possibly one of the easiest ways to create a police state if you make journalism "regulated" (i.e. government approved) ((or if you're a nutter, corporation approved))

1984 and its consequences has been a disaster for the human race. Read another book

HN is entirely filled with right-wing to far-right sheltered techbros. Half the accounts here that are constantly complaining about "free speech" and "consequences to their actions" are really one bad day away from calling everyone they disagree with various slurs, and the other half are so insulated from any sort of actual injustice in the world that they sit atop of their smug towers of indifference, cawing at the peasants below who have things such as "opinions" (that disagree with theirs, of course) or "motivations".

But the average person wouldn't, and "fickle hacker news user" is not a wide open market.

It is more likely the police are doing this as a sign of their own solidarity with other police officers rather than with the protestors. After all, this entire thing started because of kneeling.

Decade? More like century. The labour demonstrations in the 19th and 20th century were ignored until they got militant. Nothing's changed since then in the US.

Not to mention, how is this relevant at all to the linked post?

asyncio is very poorly designed overall. This is just one offender.

> asyncio.sleep(0) is nearly always wrong.

This, however, is VERY bad advice. a sleep(0) (or, a checkpoint as it is better called) is very useful in things like branches where asynchronous operations only run in one branch. This ensures you don't end up deadlocking half your app if your branches go wrong.
