While AirTags don't really add new capabilities that thieves with this level of sophistication didn't have access to before, one does wonder to what degree the attention AirTags brought to tracking devices caused various people to go "Hmm. I could track something/someone with that."
It seems accidental. Instead of "we have a new brick type that only goes together once", what has happened is that there's a configuration of normal lego bricks that can get pinned into place.
I have read that brake pedal locks are actually more effective. Those steering wheel clubs are easier to cut off, compared to trying to get a saw down in the footwell to cut off something under the brake pedal. Without being able to depress the brakes, one cannot shift the car from park into drive.
I think the market for people who want to (and are able to) work exclusively in a very dark room is probably pretty small. I'm also not sure what features a work-focused projector would have that a normal projector wouldn't.

The situation is more involved than that.

The protests were about perceived police brutality.

Cop's view:

A guy had a knife in the seat that they'd seen previously. He was wanted for raping his a woman and was in the process of stealing her van and kidnapping her kids. Even if there were no knife, you don't allow the rapist to get into the deadly weapon and take kids as hostages.

To them, the riots were unjust and a lot of them probably wanted to stop the city burning, but they were told to cordon off the area and basically forbidden from doing anything. At the same time, if they had to use force against a violent rioter, it would be all over the press and that officer would probably be fired. This leaves the armed citizens as the only line of defense (and a line without the police politics). This seems like the reason why they praise them in their interactions.

Politician's view:

The city is run by one family of Democrat politicians. Their party officially supported the riots with the now current Vise-President actually raising funds for the rioters. Going against the mob would not only go against the party, but it would cause the mob to show up at their houses (this happened in other cities) and might even throw their family's dynasty out of power. They didn't care about the part that was burning because it was the poorer parts of the city.

Citizen's view:

The politicians ordered the police to abandon them. They had signs like "we have little children here" in an attempt to keep their families safe (it seems that even having BLM support signs wasn't enough). The businesses were generally either not insured or under-insured. Lots of people worked at those places and were looking at not having a job. Everyone's cars were being demolished or burned. For many of them, everything they spent their entire life working on was ruined in a few hours.

Amed Citizen's view:

We've been hiding in fear for two days now as the police do nothing. If they won't, we will. Today, we're putting a stop to this.

Rioter's view:

I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets. Hmmm? You know... You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds. Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair!”
Why not cross different dog breeds to increase total diversity instead of trying to protect what's left?
The posted version seems to have redacted the bit about "strike team". Here is a presumably unredacted version, which is not acceptable for this site's understandably justified filters against recruiter spam.

The way the club works is by telling the potential thief "The owner is determined enough to make his own life a little bit more difficult. You don't know what else might be there, just go along and find an easier target."

The best way to secure your car is to think like a thief. Look at it and ask yourself, "Is this a good target?"

Thieves evaluate the car through risk / reward but mostly risk. The cost of being caught is very high and opportunity cost is very low -- there is a lot of other cars available so there is almost never a reason to steal this particular one.

So naturally if they see any warning signs that this might be risky (even something like an out of place pulsing light) they might want to skip it for something else.

Thus, the best way to not have your car stolen is:

1) Do not drive expensive car (low reward)

2) Display something in your car that tells the thief you are determined owner and you will make the thief's life difficult (high risk)

3) Remove absolutely everything from your car that can be stolen. When I go on vacation (ie. car with foreign license plates more likely to have valuables in the trunk) I even removed the shelf above the trunk so that a thief can look and see the trunk is empty. (no easy, risk-free, alternative payoff)

4) Have an actual safety like a concealed switch that prevents the car from being started. Do not ever use anything that has visible elements -- the thief must try to start the car, see that it does not start and see that it is not easily possible to identify the mechanism that prevents starting. This should deter potential thief to try any further.

The problem is the title is not what controls which situations this law will cover. The breadth with which a court of law is willing to interpret "impaired" (unless the statute itself narrowly defines "impaired" somewhere else within its words) will ultimately determine how far reaching the application of this law will be.

And "impaired" is a word that is significantly more far reaching in its meaning than "legally intoxicated":

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/impaired

> Definition of impaired

> : being in an imperfect or weakened state or condition: such as

> a : diminished in function or ability : lacking full functional or structural integrity

> b : unable to function normally or safely (as when operating a motor vehicle) because of intoxication by alcohol or drugs

While part (b) above does note a "because of alcohol or drugs" part (a) of the definition leaves the law open to a wide range of "impairments" that are not "drunk" or "high" such as "had a long day, and am quite tired and a little sleepy". Which would result in an "impairment" of your driving as compared to "got a good nights sleep, feel refreshed just now" when getting behind the wheel.
There's "fast" mode.

I heartily disagree that older folks automatically lose autonomy. They lose physical ability. They lose some mental agility, but they are not all in dementia. And they have every right to decide for themselves when they can or cannot handle living independently. If they want the pain and trouble to make it work, we are the ones who have to accept them.

I'd say yes, absolutely, family members have the right to risk their own lives. Have you ever driven too fast on an interstate? Climbed a mountain? Gone skiing, bungie jumping, skydiving, or even swimming? Then you have risked your life. You are proposing a huge double standard if you argue that youth are allowed to have risk in their life while the elderly do not.
So, this is Comms.

Legos = symbolism for 'making plans'

Comms are a way of communication using symbolism embedded in news headlines, articles, films, music, even memes. A headline such as 'President Bush trips over a Lego piece' describes a fictional event, but it exists solely as a Comms Vehicle.

Thus, the article represents a Plan that cannot be Stopped.

This makes me want to do the same thing back: I should put an AirTag in an inconspicuous spot on my car, myself. Then if a thief puts an AirTag on my car and steals it, I can do a Uno Reverse card.

Edit: Another idea: I should throw an AirTag on my Catalytic Converter, and cover it up with a dark plastic so it looks like it's from the factory... That could be a huge YouTube video that could launch a channel. "I AirTagged my stolen Catalytic Converter!"
Going on 30 years, I have had a pack of working hounds, usually from 4 to 12 strong. We have rural land surrounded by large plots of more rural land, 4,000 acres+ of tree farm and private hunting preserve, so our hounds are necessary for keeping coyotes and etc off livestock and other pets.

In that time we've had many litters of puppies, usually trading them with neighbors to improve the local landrace and pass around some of the best traits. There's a steady input of "dumped purebeed" in the local mutts, they never survive long unless rescued.

"Pure" breeds are useful in being controlled and defined parameters to breed from; hybrids are the best "working" dogs however. IMO.

Our greatest successes have been with hunting hounds (bluetick coonhound or great danes) x "herding dogs" of some spread. The border collie x Bluetick cross produces some great dogs but there's a high proportion of psychopaths; expect 1:20 or so to be one of those puppies you just cant do anything with without insane effort. Bluetick x Catahoula are more mentally stable but likely to fall to the "merle on merle" cillia based health issues. (Digestive trouble and/or hearing issues)

Great danes x collie were robust, intelligent, big dogs that avoided almost all the inhertibale issues of the parent lines; but that's a cross you don't want to undertake raising without significant time. They're as bright as a small child and they feel they need a job: furthermore if you're not the boss, they feel they have to be. Of 4 litters (all large, hounds are profligate) we got 2 willful and bright enough I'd call them "psycho pups". Bad news at that size and vitality. Great for a herd dog, but only if you don't care about having input into how the herd is run.
Indeed, a major contributor is the AKC who rates breeds on arbitrary characteristics like shoulder height and color instead of overall fitness. So you end up with dogs with terrible hips, cancer, spine problems, breathing problems, etc but have the right color hair.
What a half-century of studying ants can teach us about saving the planet
The author is scraping fewer than 1,000 records per day, or roughly 365,000 records per year.

On my own little SaaS project, the difference between querying an integer and a varchar like “active” is imperceptible, and that’s in a table with 7,000,000 rows.

It would take the author 19 years to run into the scale that I’m running at, where this optimisation is meaningless. And that’s assuming they don’t periodically clean their database of stale data, which they should.

So this looks like a premature optimisation to me, which is why it stood out as odd to me in the article.

The supposed "actual evidence" is what we are arguing about right now.

At the end of May, the places that would institute a mask mandate two months later fell below the other places. Then they stayed below the other places. Attributing that to the mandates is bordering on absurdity. We aren't talking about a week. We're talking about two months. That's long before people are preparing for a mandate that nobody is even considering yet.

You might as well say, "Places that will eventually have mask mandates have higher infection rates two months prior to the mandates."

> a laptop that can't display a video feed

Actually, those displays do. They may work fairly well for the purpose. When I tested those capabilities years ago, the chief issue was with ghosting; the second with choosing either high definition with strong artefacts or fast, cleaner low definition; the third was with having algorithms that minimize dot switching (which is energy costly). But there is a possibility that newer refresh algorithms fixed most of that.

Even at the state of a few years ago, to just see talking heads and presentations the video capabilities of EPD were already more than adequate. It makes little sense energy wise (wrong instrument), but it is doable. Those who want the EPD properties for production may see little loss in the lower video quality - provided the issues I listed above have been mitigated, foremostly the ghosting.

--

Edit:

I checked on YT and, look, it seems to me that video quality on EPD has boosted to incredible levels. See my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29430696

or directly the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KqASRsIWVw

Surely such laptop would be able to «display a video feed». Suboptimally. (Yet, in a way, amazingly.)

If we eliminate drunk driving (10k deaths per year, many more injured) in exchange for every single person in those fantastical scenarios dying, lives will be saved by many orders of magnitude.

I think it's the idea of a manual override being lost that people are unhappy about. Even in a fully self driving cars, I think people would express anger at having no way to override the car and steer themselves. I'm a huge proponet of slef driving (if we can get it right) but the driver needs to be able to have ultimate control over the car if wanted. The example here is going to a hospital even if slightly intoxicated and I know Ive heard escaping domestic violence; however, I thik it can be much more mundane than that- what if your car thinks you have a flat tire because a air pressure sensor has gone bad and so simply refuses to move until it reads more than 15 psi or something, despite being full in reality? What if your car sounds like it's about to suffer sudden extreme mechanical failure, but you're a mile from home and don't want to call a tow. The driver should always be able to tell the car the driver's intent. This is a matter of keeping the car useful, secure, safe, and respectful of the basic idea of object ownership. Failure to recognize this and implimenting nanny tech like this will always have the effect of making things less safe and pissing people off. It's just particularly bad when there's not even the benefit of total self driving to accompany it.

All supermarkets in my area replaced plastic bags with ones made of paper. I am pretty sure the the ecological impact is worse.

> Even in a worst- case scenario in which all plastics are incinerated

I don't understand this and I had difficulties convincing people of the opposite because of the toxic gases, but burning all the plastic would be awesome. It would not stay forever in the food chain if it gets burned.

I mean purely from a greenhouse gas perspective this seems sensible, but I think the impact of plastic goes beyond that.

To be fair, the article makes the claim that the burning of plastic litter is inconsequential to emission while it gets produced. But as I said, we should check if paper bags aren't worse for the environment.
Really interesting, thanks for posting. What do you practically do with the psychopath dogs/pups?
