Often these "farmers" are horse traders or people I know with a CDL who have the right equipment and also do other work for me like cut my hay. One of them is "retired" but he waved to me driving a dump truck when I was photographing a sign for my Uni that had a field of daffodils in front of it this morning.

The farmers I associate with care a lot about their animals and I expect them to take the same care with mine. As a rural person I judge people based on relationships and reputation and not on how much insurance they have. I'd trust any of these people to haul a horse in a big-ass trailer than I would trust myself or my wife.

What's being alleged is that she deliberately escorted the man out through an exit that is not usually made available to members of the public, instead of allowing him to leave through the regular door that would likely have put him right into the hands of ICE. If that was done with the intent of helping him evade arrest (which, if the story above is accurate, seems likely), it seems very reasonable to charge her with obstruction.

None of that is to say that what she did was morally wrong—often the law and morality are at odds.

Yes, bodywork is quite a mature discipline. I was presuming the parent commenter meant user-replaceable, i.e. bolted on.

> The body shop owner told me that the epoxy is actually stronger than the factory weld.

Often this is because the special high strength steels used in vehicles today depend on proper heat treating to attain their strength, and welding can compromise this. Many OEMs even specify panel bonding for repairing particular crash-critical parts of vehicles now because of this.

Trump is calling for the Fed's Jerome Powell to be fired for not lying and saying everything will be fine as a result of tariffs. He pulled the security clearance of former CISA Director Chris Krebs, and anyone associated with him, for not lying about the result of his cyber security investigation of the 2020 election. He also pulled security clearances for political rivals including Biden, Harris, and Cheney as well as the Attorneys General involved in his civil case for fraud, which he lost and was ordered to pay $355 million.

This is blatant and unambiguous. "If you cross me, I will use executive power to destroy you". There is no optimistic view of this.

This story doesn't support the claim that "speaking your mind is illegal in the UK." The couple in question were investigated, not charged. There's nothing wrong with investigating a possible crime (harassment in this case), finding there's no evidence, and dropping it.

> Got any evidence to support why you disregard what people say?

Uh, what? Supporting the things you claim is the burden of the claimant. It's not the other's burden to dispute an unsupported claim. These are the ordinary ground rules of debate that you should have learned in school.

As a fellow Eurorack circuit designer and university teacher on thst issue one immidiate issue I can see is one of practicality. Decent potentiometers are maybe a Euro per piece if bought in bulk, they have a start and an end which is nice and for analog gear you have direct control over the parameter, with very clear feedback what is going on — that is the main reason people want physical gear. So add in a LED ring for visual feedback and endstops.. Might be nice for a digital module.

But even then I'd wonder if it worth it, because of the high pcb space usage. With potentiometers as attenuators or attenuverters you can fit two pots next to each other in a space of 20mm which neatly aligns with the standard panel widths. Theoretically you could certainly get smaller with thst solution, but the hall effect IC needs to be accounted for as well. With existing pots I can use the space underneath. If your module is just 10mm wide that space is pretty premium..

> the ICE agents showed up in the middle of a court proceeding, and the judge said they'd need to get permission from the chief judge before they could interrupt proceedings. The judge then didn't stop the defendant from leaving once the proceeding was done.

I used to work as a paramedic. We’d frequently be called to the local tribal jail which had a poor reputation. People would play sick to get out of there for a few hours. If the jail staff thought they were faking and they were due for release in the next week or so, they’d “release” them while we were doing an assessment and tell them “you are getting the bill for this not us” (because in custody the jail is responsible for medical care). Patient would duly get in our ambulance and a few minutes down the road and “feel better”, and request to be let out.

The first time this happened my partner was confused. “We need to stop them” - no, we don’t, and legally can’t. “We need to tell the jail so they can come pick them back up” - no, the jail made the choice to release them, they are no longer in custody and free to go.

This caught on very quickly with inmates and for a while was happening a couple of times a day before the jail figured out the deal and stopped releasing people early.

>That would really depend on what the judge did, though.

It would, of course. But we don't know what the judge did, and yet everyone here is interpreting the events in the least generous way possible. Next week, when there is another incident, they'll use their least generous interpretations of what happened here as fact to justify their least generous interpretations of that incident.

>If the judge said, “the guy you are looking for is with the chief judge” and it turns out he wasn’t with the chief judge,

Or, if he just said "you all need to leave, none can stay" with the intention of hurrying the proceeding along so that the immigrant could leave before they could possibly return, that too is willful obstruction.

>In that scenario, ICE could have just not gone to see the chief judge until a

The other comment says they were "asked to leave and talk to him for permission". Ask is courtroom code for "do this, or you'll be arrested for contempt and spend at least a few hours in a holding cell in the other part of the courthouse building". There was no "they could have just not gone".

The NATS project originally came out of CloudFoundry, and gnatsd later out of Apcera. I worked for Apcera while we were maintaining gnatsd. Docker and Kubernetes basically put that company out of business -- the founder went and started Synadia which was focused on NATS instead of container orchestration.

I think nats is a great technology for a number of use cases. It's unfortunate that it's so hard to find the resources to support and maintain open source software while paying developer salaries.

Derek put a ton of work, effort, and money into NATS.

It's a sad story to me; I don't know what the answer is to these sorts of "tragedy of the commons" type issues are.

The United States has ~4.25% of the world population, but 8 of the 10 richest people in the world live in the United States.

Even if you just take the advantage of being born in the United States (which, fine, exclude Musk from that list then) 7 of the 10 people on the list, including Zuckerberg, are among 5% "luckiest" people in the world just based on where they were born.

This is eliminating any luck they got from hereditary wealth, geographical location, and catching the surge of value in their respective industry at the exact right time.

From reading the affidavit it’s clear to me there is a lot of uncertainty and confusion around these situations. Clearly the judges are upset with ICE making arrests in the public spaces within the court hall while ICE views it as the perfect place since the defendant will be unarmed. This was an administrative warrant and IANAL but doesn’t that not require local cooperation e.g the judge is in her right to not help or comply with the warrant?

Part of the reason why I support "sanctuary cities" is that it's better for everyone if undocumented immigrants feel safe talking to the police. Imagine someone broke into my car and there was a witness who saw the whole thing. I want them to be OK telling the cops what happened. I want them to be OK reporting crimes in their neighborhood. I want them to be OK testifying about it in court. I want them to be OK calling 911.

Even if I put all human rights issues aside, I don't want anyone to be punished for talking to the police simply because of their immigration status, because their freedom to do so makes my own daily life safer.

Well, that goes double for courtrooms. If some guy's due to testify in a murder case, I don't want him skipping court because some quota-making jackass at ICE wants to arrest him because of a visa issue.

In this case, the person was actually in court to face misdemeanor charges (of which they haven't been convicted yet, i.e. they're still legally innocent). I want people to go to court to face trial instead of skipping out because they fear they'll be arrested and deported for unrelated reasons. I bet the judge has pretty strong opinions on that exact issue, too.

One fun thing is that the Grimm brothers did this too, they revised their stories a bit once they realized they could sell to parents who wouldn't approve of everything in the original editions (which weren't intended to be sold as children's books in the first place).

And, since these were collected oral stories, they would certainly have been adapted to their audience on the fly. If anything, being adaptable to their circumstances is the whole point of a fairy story, that's why they survived to be retold.

When the federal government is actively hostile towards the states then the only recourse is going to be secession.

In a world where you and I could be renditioned to a foreign country and thrown into slave labor by the government simply acting fast enough as to maneuver around the court then there is no rule of law and there is no remedy.

> Didn’t Biden famously try to impeach/arrest Trump for a variety of reasons? I

Oh my god, no, that never happened at all. This is a fever dream. How in the world and constitution Could Biden IMPEACH Trump when he wasn't a member of the House of Reps, which is the body that impeaches Presidents. Actually, Biden also couldn't arrest Trump, as federal arrests would be by the AG. Famously, Merrick Garland took forever to bring cahrges to Trump, and, unlike Trump did with his AGs, Biden never interfered.

Do you have any sources for this "famous" impeachment and arrests?

> I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard of so many attempts on the same president.

Because no other President tried to start a violent coup when he lost the election! That is a good reason to arrest someone, which is included in your vague "variety of reasons".

Every public official in every state has sworn an oath to uphold the constitution. Willfully ignoring that oath whenever it suits them is not a faithful commission of their duties. While trampling on civil rights is a problem so is harboring known, convicted felons.

If Wisteguens Charles had been deported in 2022, some of his future crimes wouldn't have happened. Instead we have people falling over themselves to have sympathy for the worst elements of society and ignoring the oath they made to uphold the law. That doesn't justify twisting the law into a tool for cruelty but is no better to arbitrarily ignore it either.

According to the Thai virus researchers who did not even discover the related virus for the first time until the year AFTER tbe pandemic started. So no, unless someone has a time machine the WIV did not have a sample in 2019. The consensus of the international virus research community is that the WIV did NOT have a sample of the covid-precursor virus.

Animals infected with the Thai virus were imported from Thailand to the Wuhan wet market. People on the north side of the river within 100 meters of the wet market got sick. People on the south side of the river within 15km of the WIV did not get sick. We are not relying on the CCP for the information that people on the south side of the river did not get sick. There were foreign citizens living south of the river and we got our information from them.

You can't just arrest someone for nothing. You need probable cause. The question is whether a judge going about their day, doing nothing illegal, is probable cause. It's very likely not.

"In the x86 architecture we have various complicated hardware emulation facilities on x86-32 to support ancient 32-bit CPUs that very very few people are using with modern kernels. This compatibility glue is sometimes even causing problems that people spend time to resolve, which time could be spent on other things.

As Linus recently remarked:

> I really get the feeling that it's time to leave i486 support behind. > There's zero real reason for anybody to waste one second of > development effort on this kind of issue.

This series increases minimum kernel support features to include TSC and CX8 (CMPXCHG8B) hardware support, which removes 486 (and derivatives) support and early-586 (and derivatives) support.

Doing this allows the removal of a fair amount of code:

80 files changed, 38 insertions(+), 14104 deletions(-)

Much of which is the math-emu/ library - but even without math-emu, the simplification is substantial:"

This seems to say there is a limit to free speech

>The act of shouting "fire" when there are no reasonable grounds for believing one exists is not in itself a crime, and nor would it be rendered a crime merely by having been carried out inside a theatre, crowded or otherwise. However, if it causes a stampede and someone is killed as a result, then the act could amount to a crime, such as involuntary manslaughter, assuming the other elements of that crime are made out.

Your own link says that if you yell fire in a crowded space and people die you can be held liable.

I guess I would hope it takes more then that to rise to the level of obstruction.

Additionally, you have to prove intent, and unless the judge was careless, I doubt they will ever be able to do that. I'd bet the prosecution knows this, I don't think they expect the charges to stick. It seems this arrest was done to send a message.

More evidence of that is that typically in this kind of case they would invite her to show up somewhere to accept process, not be arrested like a common criminal.

And aside from a window, you know what's better than a car infotainment system?

A physical holder for a personal pad device.

The amount of not-invented-here, duplicate functionality that car companies execute poorly, when buyers already have devices that do that well, is ridiculous.

The biggest benefit of aligning manufacturing costs for profit should be jettisoning the "post-sale" revenue streams that drive complicated built-in tech for current cars.

And also, you-know, 100% A+ on getting back to "customize your own car, because it's cheap and supported"!

Owners being afraid of doing what they want with their devices/vehicles has to stop.

You've got a handle on it, roughly. The issue is exactly when/if someone takes a username. The tension is between links using the did, which wouldn't ever break, and the nice URLs that normal people expect to see. If that didn't exist, they could just always use the DID link and it would be fine.

But regardless of what could be done, I'm just talking about what is the case right now. Which is that they break.

Do you have any evidence of this claim? The FBI affidavit says they were waiting in the public hallway outside, let the bailiff know what they were doing and did not enter the courtroom. The judge did not find out until a public defender took pictures of the arrest team and brought it to the attention of the judge. Maybe the FBI lied, but that seems unlikely given the facts would seem eventually verifiable by security video and uninvolved witness statements.

Members of the arrest team reported the following events after Judge DUGAN learned of their presence and left the bench. Judge DUGAN and Judge A, who were both wearing judicial robes, approached members of the arrest team in the public hallway.

It's because it's considered settling for lesser to "sell out to industry."

Kinda reminds me of the old "amateur athlete" paradigm.

It's not that you can't get a good job with a math PhD, it's that you can't get a good job and the respect of your peers/community. I'm sure there are plenty of companies that would be thrilled to hire math PhDs, they just don't also offer a ton of opportunities to work on cutting edge (math) research and publish papers.

The problem is that generally you're breaking actual valid use cases as the tradeoff to being another layer of defense against hypothetical vulnerabilities.

Yes, discussing the hosts file is a valid use case.

Yes putting angle brackets in the title of your message is valid use case your users are going to want.

Yes putting "mismatched" single quotes inside double quotes is a thing users will do.

Yes your users are going to use backslashes and omit spaces in a way that looks like attempts at escaping characters.

Reproducibility studies are costly in time, reagents, and possibly irreplaceable primary samples. I usually would prefer a different study looking at similar mechanisms using different methods than a reproduction of the original methods, although there’s an important place for direct replication studies like this as well. We can also benefit from data sleuths uncovering fraud, better whistleblower systems, and more ability for graduate students to transfer out of toxic labs and into better ones with their funding, reputation and research progress intact.

Scientists have informal trust networks that I’d like to see made explicit. For example, I’d like to see a social media network for scientists where they can PRIVATELY specify trust levels in each other and in specific papers, and subscribe to each others’ trust networks, to get an aggregated private view of how their personal trusted community views specific labs and papers.

I was talking about a software pass. Currently, the machine code stored in executables (such as ELF or PE) is only slightly patched by the dynamic linker, and then expected to be directly executable by the CPU. The code in the file has to be already compatible with the target CPU, otherwise you hit illegal instructions. This is a simplistic approach, dating back to when running executables was just a matter of loading them into RAM and jumping to their start (old a.out or DOS COM).

What I'm suggesting is adding a translation/fixup step after loading a binary, before the code is executed, to make it more tolerant to hardware changes. It doesn’t have to be full abstract portable bytecode compilation, and not even as involved as PTX to SASS, but more like a peephole optimizer for the same OS on the same general CPU architecture. For example, on a pre-AVX2 x86_64 CPU, the OS could scan for AVX2 instructions and patch them to do equivalent work using SSE or scalar instructions. There are implementation and compatibility issues that make it tricky, but fundamentally it should be possible. Wilder things like x86_64 to aarch64 translation have been done, so let's do it for x86_64-v4 to x86_64-v1 too.

Also there are a lot of existing competitors. I like beef as much as anybody (get it from a farmer I know), I like deer meat better (between hunters I know and a network that salvages roadkill I am thinking about getting a better freezer.) I used to be a vegan. I like tofu, I like tempeh, I like Boca Burgers, I like Quorn. I like beans. Dairy farmers in my state think "acid whey" is a waste product they want to be rid of, every sports performance and bodybuilding person I know thinks it is the gold standard for protein supplements.
