In a country where the gun crime is low and leaders get attacked, it's not that weird that people are puzzled of what just happen
Living in a country where guns are not common, my first thought after a gunshot would probably be "what was that? did something fall over?"
That's a bit scary for large parts of the world then.
Guns and shootings are uncommon in Japan. There is no natural response to run unless you are hyper aware of shootings.
I'm frankly shocked looking at the top level comments I've read so far.

We're talking about a long-time head of state whose entire chest cavity was blown to pieces.
Eviscerated.

By an assassin, no less, and with a homemade shotgun in one of the worlds strictest countries w.r.t. to guns.

Is this not worth mourning?

I ask my fellow Americans in near disbelief: have you become so desensitized that this news does not move you?

RIP Shinzo Abe
You don’t even know that any other policy would be better, because we can’t rewind and retry. And economy is not everything - I don’t think Boris Johnson became unpopular over the economy.
What APIs / sites are you scraping from?
That isn’t how you defines a mistake. To flip the logic, if you know something is a bad idea and do it anyway that’s not a mistake either, it’s intentional.

Japan has some super strict gun laws. The onlookers probably had no experience with firearm violence and didn't know to run away. More of a deer in headlights kind of shock when they saw the smoke.

I guess "ghost gun" violence like this will become more normal in countries with restrictive gun laws as societies break down when the effects of climate change are really felt.
> if it was only known after the fact that it was a mistake, then i dont think you can call it a mistake

Mistakes are by definition only known to be mistakes after the fact. If you know before you do something that it’s going to fail then it is not a mistake.

Given that the estimated cost of building and launching the satellites is estimated at only 600 million dollars [1], it is estimated to take something around two or three years until it's been paid off, followed by two years of generating profit and the next five-year cycle starts (assuming that their estimate of five years life time per satellite holds [2]).

Personally, I think Starlink was the best bet SpaceX ever made. That thing will be a permanent cash cow.

Why does this read like yet another case of the People's Republic using bad faith actors to infiltrate the West for their own gain?

If only several groups had been warning about undue influence within society starting at an educational level and planning out. No, those groups were evil doomsayers, it can't be that they were right...

There can't be a history of this in recent years. There can't other stories and people arrested or deported for military espionage and spying... Must be the evil courts not respecting their culture....

</sarcasm>
How is that surprising? This was a targetted political assassination. Very little correlation with gun crime rates.
No security chaps there? Are they incompetent?
I admired Abe... Goodnight!
If you were less obscure about which country that was maybe we could probe into why those deaths happen but you weren't so we cant.
He's still a powerful political figure. He even might have chance to become a candidate or influencing the decision on who gonna be candidate from his party.
RIP Mr.Abe
Actually I don't think they will normally (maybe ever?) need to drill down tens of km, or even ten km, to get to enough heat.

I would like to see steam turbines displaced by something that doesn't need so much maintenance (high-pressure CO2?), so that geothermal could become more competitive with other renewables. But developing tech like that is no walk in the park. GE will do it when their market for steam turbines starts to fall off, faced with renewables.

Read entries from c2 wiki.

Don't know what to do with yourself for a few minutes DO NOT open Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter ... Whatever.

Read the original, classic group discussion on tech. With Ward Cunningham, Kent Beck, Rob Pike, and many many other luminaries contributing to this endless discussion, you cannot fail to be educated on some level.

So before you read another random article here, on medium or some other place where a "10x" dev just learned something about X ... Just don't, go read c2 wiki.
You will have to relinquish your US citizenship.

In reality, this never change anything about emigration, even for countries without extraterritorial reach. I remember the argument in 2017 in France: "if we lower those taxes, rich will emigrate less". Result: same emigration from high earners(well, wealthy people since it was a tax on wealth), which was still lower than highly educated people (those who really matters).

[edit] and Btw, those came back during covid, fun to watch, not paying taxes and still benefiting from socialized medicine, and still with the same dumb argument, forgetting about what the social contract is.
It makes me think of, funnily enough, a scene in an anime.

In this scene, set in a utopian, crime-free society (at least on the surface), a woman is beaten brutally in a public square in front of a large crowd. The people in this crowd just... stand and watch. They get their phones out and record it.

It is reasoned by one of the main characters that they act this way because they simply cannot process what is going on. The concept of this happening is so divorced from the reality they live in, it provokes little to no fear/horror/disgust/whatever response in them.
I don't see how that's relevant - OP has made a claim about automatic trains not being possible in the US which isn't the case. You can make a valid (more interesting) argument that some countries (e.g. China) are now ahead of the curve, or that automated by default isn't used but that's a different argument which the OP didn't make.
Why should you care about your system firmware when you're running a modern Linux distro? I gave Ubuntu to people who had no idea what a BIOS was almost 18 years ago, and I promise things are better now.

I can't edit anymore, so correction: Current sats only have 6y lifespan, which drops us to 1.3 billion yearly, but I think that's partially cause they're still iterating on them. It seems clear that satellite lifespan is the main factor for profit.

That's normal in societies where the average person never has to fear being gunned down.

An assassination by gunfire in a country where gun deaths don't happen is the perfect excuse for rubbernecking.
Pro-tip: If a high-level politician owes you money... don't kill them. Get them to do your bidding.
agreed, big Yakuza groups like the yamaguchi-gumi have public office buildings and operate fairly openly. Heck I've heard of members going to local school fairs with booths. It's a bit different than what we in the west think of as a crime organization.
I mean there's a law for coal power in Germany, already since decades but the new add-on codifies that. They might be doing worse than France in terms of CO2 emissions per capita but far better than the US.

Since cost is mentioned:

"The cost of generating solar power ranges from $36 to $44 per megawatt hour (MWh), the WNISR said, while onshore wind power comes in at $29–$56 per MWh. Nuclear energy costs between $112 and $189."

A deliberate process that leads to an outcome you didn’t intend or want is one of the definitions of a mistake.

Strongly disagree.

Access to powerful firearms vastly increases how damaging shootings are.

Compare the single death in a decade for Japan to the hundreds, if not thousands of deaths per year from gun violence in the US[0] [1]. Keeping guns out of circulation reduces gun deaths.

Agreed totally on getting a contract done. Lawyer maybe necessary, but for now, we're explicity writing down scenarios and possibilities, who owns what, what happens if I get fired etc.

Agreed on finding a common thread amongst the people we help. The goal is to convert the learnings we have into a product, then sell this product to everyone else.
This is terribly unfortunate. Regardless of your opinion of Abe’s politics, violence and murder aren’t legitimate methods of influencing political discourse.

I am aware of that case, like I said, it shouldn't happen and two wrongs don't make a right. But I definitely feel like you are far more likely to get into trouble for this in Poland than in the UK, and it has nothing to do with the level of surveilance in society.

I completely agree with you.
> Would an airplane using Starlink be more easily tracked in an emergency to avoid MH370 type of mystery?

The thing that makes Starlink so appealing to airliners is that they can now do real-time telemetry of virtually every sensor on the plane without going bankrupt from the satellite data cost - not just for disaster recovery, but also for regular maintenance. Think of some random but unimportant component failing and the airline can dispatch a spare part and a repair crew to wait for the plane and do the maintenance right when it lands.
On the flip side the people are very well educated, good healthcare, ultra low unemployment, ultra low poverty, and happy.

There is more to life than trying to get the made up number that is GDP to print a positive number every quarter.
Lmao "the right to bear arms" domestically is going to what, stop a land invasion by Russia or something to the tune of that?

Somehow, I don't think so. Instead it's just allowing you and yours to kill each other. As a Kiwi living in the UK: gun control works, it really does.

Also, falling into a regime? Your current political atmosphere is that a regime of extremely conservative people who are pretty much the major group to own guns in America are trying to devolve human rights in your country. So really, in a way, you already have a regime trying to take over and _they_ have all the guns already.

Note that Japan is in a savage demographic crunch, with a TFR well below replacement and an ageing population, which means the ratio of workers to dependents (the elderly) is dropping. Which in turn reduces average productivity and GDP. Actual population decline is deflationary and Japan's been in that situation since the start of the 1990s.

This isn't a defense of Abenomics, but a reminder that Japan has structural problems that can't be easily fixed (unless there's a huge sea-change in public opinion and they start actively trying to attract younger immigrants -- which would be a first-time-ever thing).

You mean shells? He may not have had any.

I work with an old guy who set out to make his own "shotgun" when he was 9. He took a piece of plumbing pipe with an end cap, drilled two holes near the end for the electrodes (pencil lead), and then packed it with a few hundred match heads and some BB's. He ran wire from the electrodes to his safety spot behind a berm, and touched it off with a battery. It blew apart his target, and he said the smoke could be smelled across the entire farm.

If a 9 year old could figure it out in the 1950's, I'm sure an adult, hell bent on murder, could figure it out today.
If we care about suffering, that would be very bad news, considering how many insects there are.

Also, I would be more surprised if they didn't feel pain. The game, in all living things, is to live long enough to reproduce, and sustaining damage to one's body is detrimental to this objective. Pain is there to keep us from sustaining damage. Thus, why shouldn't insects feel pain?

I would also like to know about physical pain vs. emotional (?) pain and/or fear in insects.

"And economy is not everything - I don’t think Boris Johnson became unpopular over the economy."

But the economy is a very basic, essential thing.
If it is bad, things are indeed bad for many people, which counts more to them than the great politic.

Johnson would not have to worry about anything, if the UK's economy would be running smoothly. Which it does not and the brexit is basically still unsolved and a great feeling of insecurity remains. This might finally bring him down, not all the scandals.

He had security. The guy got apprehended immediately after. Clearly they weren’t trained to deal with guns and/or were incompetent to not be aware of their surroundings.
Some years ago in Denmark, at a European championships shooting sports event, I met a Japanese competitor who mentioned that they must return every single spent casing from their previous purchase of ammunition before being cleared for a new purchase. He underlined that it's causing a lot of trouble in certain shooting disciplines, with marksmen ending up manically searching for their empty casings at the range, and that even the Japanese military is subjected to regulations forcing them to leave not a single spent casing around. Unlike how it's done in every country here in Europe, they apparently regulate/count ammunition sales down to each individual cartridge.
On the other hand, having dualboot with Linux on my ThinkPad T490s managed to break my bitlocker on the windows partition every time Linux updated. Not sure why, as I really needed Windows for work I had to revert and didn't have enough time to really investigate.

Entering the recovery key is enough but the problem is my work uses software to rotate the recovery key and the last time the stored key didn't work. Probably it was just rotated but not updated in the system yet. So I had to restore fully and I removed Linux.
> It’s a surprise to most people that the majority of embedded chat is not end-to-end encrypted (E2EE).

I don’t know about the general populace, but I would instead be surprised to encounter E2EE in embedded chat.

I also go to what I keep on saying in cases like this: first-party end-to-end encryption is broken by design. To have any semblance of real security, you need to self-host the client software, preferably also obtaining it from a different party from the transport provider. Self-hosting of the entire chat system is the only truly dependable solution here, and in that context for this application, end-to-end encryption adds no value at all, being equivalent to transport encryption.
