It is already illegal for anyone convicted of domestic violence (or subject to a restraining order) to possess firearms. The ATF form 4473[1] includes these questions about domestic violence:

> Are you subject to a court order, including a Military Protection Order issued by a military judge or magistrate, restraining you from harassing, stalking, or threatening your child or an intimate partner or child of such partner?

> Have you ever been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence, or are you or have you ever been a member of the military and been convicted of a crime that included, as an element, the use of force against a person as identified in the instructions?

The information is verified by NICS[2], which will reject you if you've been convicted of domestic violence or are subject to a court order. Lying on this form is a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison. The penalty applies even if the NICS check fails (meaning you never got possession of the firearm).

Yes. 100% yes. It's insane that we've normalized the idea that if you can physically get your hands on some data then that means you're allowed to do whatever you want with it. Anyone even remotely responsible working in advertising should be tracking provenance of the data they're using. I've heard all sorts of excuses about why this isn't practical, but with each year that passes I find them less convincing, and I've finally reached the point where I reject those excuses outright. If you don't _know_ you're allowed to use some PII for marketing, then you _can not_ use it for marketing. It's that simple.

Hey community, I've started a little ai dev company and I'm having a bit of a dilemma.

I can't get my devs to take time off, one in particular was recently working on the same day as his sisters wedding, which was also Sunday.

I've tried to warn them about burnout and being more productive by taking rest but I still see them logged in on Slack when they're meant to be having time off.

I want to know how it's dealt with at your work?

Wow. After reading this I clicked on CEO Ryan Breslow's Twitter profile pic which is of him barefoot, wearing a psychedelic hoodie and sitting in a yoga position with his palms upturned.

It's not just their own interests. If they run over budget they have to shut down and everyone loses their job. So impacting only x% is a better alternative. Doing it all in one go and getting it right the first time is very important because you want to end up in a sustainable position where you can assure everyone remaining that they have made it and don't need to worry.
Early in my career I worked at a company that stored customer credit card numbers in clear text in the database. When I learned of PCI compliance, I naively emailed my manager some links on the topic and a note that we might not be in compliance.

"Doing time" in this type of crime needn't be actual imprisonment. The accused individual(s) may for example face being barred from holding positions of responsibility for a set amount of time, be given a suspended sentence, or both.
This is amazing.

I just tested it against a smallish British channel with a video that I wanted to see again, and couldn’t remember which one of the 50-odd videos it was. It did not carch the full quote directly, because YT read it as “Marvin nature” instead of “Mother Nature,” a consequence of Alfie’s accent. But my search for “Mother Nature” picked up another reference close enough to it to show the text. Sort of unlucky with the miss and very lucky with the proximity to the hit.

I drew a blank regarding the other channels whose videos I want to revisit, but I know I will think of them later because there are so many. This is extremely useful. I’ve already bookmarked the site.
As far as I can read between the lines, Google has a non-open-source backend for gVisor, and it really wouldn't surprise me if that was KVM too.
That re-implementation of solved things in engineer's favorite language/framework does not happen for free. Its pretty clear from outside that company like Twitter is jerked around by its engineers who have far too much autonomy to implement things their way instead of high perf C/C++ that any company at Twitter's scale must use.

Twitter engineers endlessly tweeting about having JVM perf team, presumably for their low performance Scala codebase.

Here [1] is an example where supposedly Twitter's supposedly Silicon valley calibre engineers couldn't write a half decent log management system and end up using vendor which otherwise only boring enterprises would use.

It reminds me of ignoramuses at Yahoo would claim that Google's frugality is useless and they can do better by just buying from Sun/IBM/HP and so on.

Tibia too. It used to be an extremely social game. Everything was hard so people had to play together. It's been modernized and made much easier, nowadays it feels like the magic is gone. The changes began with restrictions on player killing and spiralled from there.
That's a settlement they reached recently on things that happened at least 2 years ago. Just to be clear.
As I understand it, it costs him a billion to get out of it only under a list of circumstances, none of which applies. Which means Twitter could go to court and likely would get the court to force Musk to by Twitter at the full $54.20 price.
I love the historical aspects of the assassins creed games but often grumble that you don’t really get to see much of what day to day life was like for certain groups of people.

Simple And Terrible Machines
Like reducing access to guns! Yes, we can agree!

The causal model for gun violence is simple. Motivation, and access to guns. We can and should address motivations. Reducing access to guns has a strong effect too, evidenced by other countries people bring up "mass knife murders" of like 5 people in.

Arms get tired with knives. Cars can't drive everywhere. Bombs and explosive devices take special skills. Restricting access (even indirectly, through increasing cost of ownership via mandatory insurance purchases, required registration of last owner of record [and having that owner culpable when their weapons are used], and so forth) reduces gun death.

You'll still have open ports on the LAN. With OpenZiti you can even shut down the host firewall from having any open ports which I think is pretty cool. :) Plus you'll be able to access Jenkins from anywhere at that point - even from home - just like you were on the LAN. Maybe you'll find that useful someday in the future and give OpenZiti a try! :)
To get a drivers license you often need an x amount of hours of supervised training and passing a written and driving test. I can buy a guy with a state issued ID (not necessarily a drivers license) and that’s it - perhaps a quick background check before the sale is approved.
That doesn't make any sense to me. Musk has done genuinely pioneering work in electric vehicles and rocketry. Things like the Boring company or Neurolink obviously haven't really panned out - but still, good areas to work in. That he also goes a bit crazy on Twitter doesn't really take away from any of that. To think less of Musk for his tweets means that you equate the latter behavior with the former, when, clearly, the former is much more consequential.

Every notable figure, and likely (almost) every person, has done things that are bad. Gandhi was a racist, Lincoln's social media squabbles led him to a duel, Edison electrocuted an elephant for entertainment or advertising, and so on. That Musk has flaws shouldn't surprise anyone or discredit him for his accomplishments.

As a complete outsider, I've got a question for you. How hard is it to do this GMO thing? Why does it have to be limited to only a few big corporations? Why have we yet to see a diverse industry of startups and small companies competing to make the best strains at the lowest prices with the most features, like we saw with the electronics industry?
The number of prisoners has much more to do with the number of laws we enforce and how much effort we spend enforcing them. Actual trial procedures are irrelevant. If anything, there is a lack of jury trials - the majority of cases end in pleas.

> In any case, for this reason and many others, the system is grossly tilted towards the prosecution in the US.

The prosecution wins more often than not because of selection bias - the prosecution gets to pick which cases they take to trial and more often than not they pick ones they have a good chance of winning.

I am not sure what your alternative to a unanimous jury would be, but I think I would take my chances with the jury.

The problem with Twitter isn't that it isn't efficient enough or the features aren't configured correctly. It's not that exciting to the average person and never will become popular like Facebook or TikTok.

Twitter could be described as:

1) Following influencers like on Instagram -- but no cool, sexy, beautiful pictures and very boring.

2) Infinite scrolling like TikTok -- but it's boring three word text replies instead of in your face video.

3) It has leading news stories featured at the top of the feed like Facebook -- but none of your friends are on Twitter and you can't engage them negatively or positively.

Only a certain type of person is going to spend a lot of time on Twitter. That person is a minority.
Thanks! I am curious, where did you learn about this game?
Oh yeah, encoding game rules is a killer app for Prolog's declarative style. See my sibling comment- I've done this with M:tG and WH40k. With M:tG in particular, translating from the rulebook to Prolog, to code a rules engine, is a breeze, just because the M:tG rules are in such strict, formal language already.

The jump from a well-written, unambiguous and precise set of board game rules and its translation in Prolog is a tiny step, that could even be automated with some elbow grease.

Now, you mention "rendering" and that, on the other hand, I'm not sure is a very good application for Prolog. Nothing to do with speed, but arithmetic in Prolog is a bit meh, and if you want to do stuff like matrix arithmetic, you have to roll your own. Most Prologs don't even have arrays, as such (they kind of do but it's a bit of a hack).
I have an induction stove. It came with the house I bought. It's fairly nice, I like how fast it heats up the pans, I've never had a huge pot of water boil as quickly as with this type of stove, it works great with a flat bottom wok, etc. but I did lose a few pans to incompatibility, including my favorite $7 thrift store rescue All Clad skillet that was unfortunately made with too much aluminum to trigger the inductor.

I've mostly had the metal round eyes to cook on, but I've also had ceramic tops and my dad had a natural gas stove and of the lot I think I prefer the induction on everything except cost, as a low end replacement would be about $1,500 compared to a $500 round eye stove.
"Background check" is vague and unhelpful.

Delaware is actually pretty quick with court cases, a couple of months end-to-end.
The person or team who gave green light to storing phone numbers without giving the data appropriate access controls and protections to avoid it being used for anything that is not strictly related with security and fraud control. A system such that if the Ads team tried to access it, they would get an access denied error, or maybe a red alert warning stating that this field cannot be used for marketing operations.

If a system to provide such protections didn't exist, then that system should have been implemented before agreeing on collecting phone numbers. Again, whoever didn't have that insight, should be the one to blame.

(all this is just wishful thinking on my part, of course)
I'm pretty sure there are bullies in Serbia, too, and fraught home conditions. And there are the guns. What's missing? onesafari said:

> The root cause may be bullying combined with the media contagion effect.

You need the bullying (or other oppressive social condition) and the media contagion. And, as you say, you need the massive amounts of guns.

> but we actually can do something about the number of guns in our country.

It is not clear to me that your statement is true. Given the Second Amendment, given the Supreme Court (and, in particular, the current makeup of the Supreme Court), I'm not sure what can be done.

It's lol indeed, and this appears to be one among many symptoms of this complete nonsense we're living.

It seems to be normal nowadays for a startup to pursue all the sorts of shallow growth indicators instead of worrying about making real money. They are concerned about "runway" not as a measure of how long they will last, but as an indicator to plan the time for another "round".

And I don't blame the companies alone. Investors are usually thought to be smarter people, but they are humans with emotions and dumbness like everybody. The amount of investors who don't understand very well what they are doing seems to be increasing. They are setting (accidentally, as they don't quite know what they are getting into) this sick system of incentives. Companies are basically playing accordingly.
Do they? What evidence? What kind of engagement? Is it the type you want?

Mostly because of the loss of face. Layoffs means the CEO/board has screwed things up big time.
