My sister is a teacher at a public school in a low-income area of Denver, Colorado. She tells me most classrooms are like war zones, the students have very little respect for authority or each other. I don’t know if corporal punishment is the answer, but the kids need something to set them straight before they wind up in jail or worse.
Thank you. That makes sense for a lot of cases. I saw some business names that had 50+ locations in one city, but I guess given enough motivation, that can be done.

Related: I submitted edits for some of the businesses (marking them "Doesn't exist") and Google rejected the edits. My Maps contribution history says "NOT APPLIED - Google couldn't verify your edit" for a long list of fake businesses. If that's how they process reports - about new businesses with obviously anomalous reviews - it's no wonder this continues.
I don't completely agree with that definition. A bank robber may briefly instill terror to the people in the bank, but it's not an act of terror. However, if it's committed by a group (like the Hearst heir) then because it's in support of further activities, I would classify it as terrorism.

Often, governments, (not just the US but in general) use the term in order to enlist more sympathy from disinterested civilians in order to add support for government response and also to curb sympathy for the group or individuals. So protesters in Belarus or China, etc, they get labeled terrorists.
The other major problem with fusion being, it hasn't successfully produced energy (on Earth).

Yarn used to be compatible with npm package files too. But now that it's moving away from it I probably won't use it anymore; the advantages it brings are not worth the incompatibility.

In hindsight, I should have guessed they targeted the oil.

An acquaintance of mine worked in glass applications for electrical systems. Truly fascinating stuff; they combine the materials science of glass with the chemistry of the oil to make for very high-current fuses. The oil acts as a very good thermal conductor, but at too high a current, it expands and puts pressure against the glass insulator it's contained in. Once the pressure is high enough, the glass explodes and rapidly mechanically separates the conductors. Tolerances have to be extremely tight on both the glass thickness and the oil consistency to get the desired effect, and there's no way to test except destructively, so the process has to be extremely repeatable.

... but of course, oil-filled components are vulnerable to a few bullets.
I agree. I think the next 5-10 years will see a massive wave of new companies come out of this.

There's been so much talent locked up in bigtech for so long. The amount of talent in these companies that have had golden handcuffs forever due to the continual rise of their stock grants is staggering.

Now suddenly bigtech stock is down 50%+, and they can't issue enough RSUs to cover the compensation gap. Moreover, there's layoffs coming. All of the sudden these extremely talented people, many of whom have a small fortune in savings due to a decade+ of bigtech stock grants, are unleashed on the wider industry, some with 6-12 months of paid severance. They could easily start up a new business with minimal personal financial risk.

Will be interesting times, for sure.

Of course they can, but Amazon would have made _more_ money if they just kept the money and didn't donate it to anyone.

However on the internet, people seem to believe "tax write-off" means Amazon is coming out equal or even net-positive compared to not donating the money.
> But we know that most terror attacks in the U.S. since 9/11 have been domestic terror attacks, and we know that 2/3 of attacks come from far-right extremists [1].

Saying something is true does not make it true, but it does make it seem true. This is not a trivial fact.
In fact, back in the day they were making electro-mechanical wall clocks which, too, had exactly one transistor in them. (The transistor controlled the tiny coil that kept the balance wheel moving and, at the same, served as the timing sensor.)

Yarn has a sightly nicer CLI than npm and (I think) innovated a bit more quickly. pnpm mitigates the node_modules problem while otherwise just being npm.

You can usually substitute the package manager in the docs with your favorite, but in doubt just use the one they use.
A remote code execution exploit in GTA 5 Online should not a surprise to anybody who has played GTA 5 Online.

Cheaters have been rampant for many years, with people using apparently purchased cheat tools that allow them to choose to do server-side things like drop unlimited money and spawn vehicles anywhere, rapidly cycling through weather changes, and locking people permanently in cages.

But get on the bad side of a cheater and they can crash the games of people in the server they want to kick.

It's very sad, because despite the immense flaws of the game, the game play loop can be very engaging.
why would they do this?
Gaming the system never ends. I recall reading like 2 years ago where someone would drive around in a car with 50+ smartphones asking google maps for directions to pump up business rankings for GMB.

Banks are obliged by regulations to have AML/AF/suspicious operation checks. Any attempt to make a transfer to Binance ends with a blocked transaction and a call from the bank, at least in some Polish banks. Crypto is a can of worms and pita for them, not worth the money.

> A bank robber may briefly instill terror to the people in the bank, but it's not an act of terror.

Political motive is a key part of that definition. Simple greed isn't a political motive, but if somebody started robbing banks because they had an axe to grind with the federal reserve, I think that would probably qualify as terrorism.
Never argue with a hacker news user because they will strut around the chess board and then declare they have won, after some ad hominem attack of course.
Your stats are completely off. Whiteness does not predict success as many non white ethnic groups are much more successful.
If nobody used it, why would they need to cut it off? that doesn't make total sense.
I think the missing element from “we need fewer moonshots” is that the reason they’re moonshots in the first place is because they’re capital intensive not because the technology has a real story to be an $xbn dollar industry.

Like we don’t necessarily notice that any business that employs software developers has to be $5+mil/yr or on the way to it which is not true at all for like a restaurant.

Wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft is readying itself to sell/splitoff its consumer products and focus on Enterprise and Cloud. That could also be part of the reason why they're trying to make the consumer version of Windows generate revenue streams. The only thing that might point the other direction is the acquisition of Activision. Why buy it if you're going to spinoff that division?

I'd say more generally the product of not enough market competition. It's the equivalent of animals that evolve to signal fitness through useless plumage or ornamental antlers. The Canadian banks are a good case study in this regard (not just with respect to diversity). They have no competition and are completely undifferentiated so instead just focus on irrelevant fitness signalling that has no relation with the actual services they offer (which consist of exploiting monopoly power to a screw their customers). The same has been in effect true in tech, so we end up with initiatives like the one under discussion instead of focusing on a product or service
Did not know that about Overwatch, I've only played a little and the heros did seem to have been given some care. The bar is low for most games though.

I care about understanding other people, if you ask a question with no context, I have no clue of what aspect interest you, and we will never be able to have a conversation. If you read the comments in this thread, the examples I see are mostly about inter personal relations that is something that has always been a big cost at all my workplaces. That is completely different from your examples.
Yes according to people on Instagram, wifi is now readily available at McMurdo. Previously it was only available to grantees (scientists) at the library, and you couldn't connect your phone to it. Well, except at the long duration balloon facility, where the food was as better and the networking rules were lax...
No, in Germany specifically they don't, at least not reliably, because records are scattered across healthcare providers and generally not readily shared between providers (because "data protection").

If it happens at all, exchange of medical data mostly occurs on paper, which means it'll neither be searchable, nor even easily accessible at a later stage.
Nah, Microsoft and Meta are obviously partnering up. This is likely just a symptom of that with Meta getting buy in from Microsoft to use Meta's VR platform. I agree that Horizon is the worse of the two but that doesn't mean they'll fail. Worse is better sometimes. The lynchpin will be if Meta is really married to Unity, Unreal Engine is eating Unity's lunch with adoption and features. If Meta makes the jump to UE they'll win a bigger share of the market with a far superior engine. It waits to be seen.

I got scammed by this exact type of thing when I needed a tow truck ASAP to jump my car. They had a fake business <1 mile away with lots of good reviews. After giving them my credit card info right away and after a long delay, I gave it more scrutiny and realized it was definitely a fake business. I called multiple times to figure out where the F$&@ my tow truck was, each time talking to a different person with a filipino accent. An impressively sophisticated scam, Im not sure how google could fight it

The Purple Goat

(With much respect for a mythical imaginary beast, which is quite impressive, to say the least!)

But if it does, you'd better watch out!

Not to mistake it for a purple sheep.
Interesting, I wonder what the behavior is when someone turns FSD on when they are already on a highway as claimed in this case, as opposed to someone who has it on before entering. Maybe that's the issue, if you turn FSD on when already on a highway, the car starts FSD, senses its on a highway then given its programming that FSD should not operate on a highway, consequently hits the brakes? Tesla knows whatever happened in fact for sure.

Interestingly, I'd wager that very little infrastructure in developed countries was designed with any thought of defending it from it's own citizens.
The Tu-22s and a lot of the russian planes that are launching the missiles don't enter Ukrainian airspace. They stay in Belorussian, russian or international airspace in the black sea, and launch the missiles while staying out of the range of Ukrainian defenses.

Thank you for posting that! I've not read it yet. It seems like an interesting read (I love esoteric trivia like this!). I started it but realised it's much longer than I am prepared for this late at night. So, I'll try to read it over the coming days.

I don't know if it improves later, but they seem to only consider physical prowess as a form of strength. I generally interpreted this as strength of mind.

Also, I've taken the phrase less literally than they did. Man to me implied "human" (ie the same as man kind) because these quotes are usually designed to be succinct and memorable. They seem to think it's exclusive to human males.

But I've not read it in full yet, so we'll see when I finish it
I don't think political motive is sufficient. Turning off the lights does not by itself instill fear and terror --there are things individuals or groups could tack on that would, of course.

For example OWS was political and caused some property damage [as well as euro climate activists throwing substances at artworks], but I would be loath to classify either terrorism. I guess the action in ATL regarding a police raining facility is domestic terrorism.
No, I mean Apple. There's such a vast number of Apple fans who will buy whatever Apple put out in this space, I reckon. If anybody can make it succeed then it's Apple. Facebook is distrusted by everybody these days so I don't think it has the wherewithal to make it as people value their privacy more than they let on.

They were found because they carried their cellphones to each substations and the robbery. They were then confirmed because they used their own car and it was matched to video surveillance.

They were pretty bad at what they were doing.
This person has had a way out for aa long as the behavior has been going on. They simply need to stop doing it! Literally just stop and never interact with the ReactOS project again. After that, nobody from said project will need to worry about them ever again, and they won't have to go public about this sort of thing.

The way out has always been there: said person just disengages. People like this refuse to use it.
To the extent that it is it's either a template for what not to do or a very dire warning not to pull the trigger.

Python is barely newer than C++ and I predict it will die long before C and C++...
A couple of years ago I came across a paper on Gaussian Mixture Models. Googled the author, downloaded their MATLAB code from their University homepage (with a timestamp more than 25 years ago), and installed the most recent version of GNU Octave. Everything ran absolutely flawlessly the first time.

By comparison, whenever I encounter Python code just a few years old, half the time it's (almost irreparably) broken.
Instead of jumping to conclusions, I think we should just wait for the body cam footage to become available. While not perfect, it will almost definitely tell a more clearer story than the unsubstantiated claims we've heard so far. Wait! You say there is no body cam footage? That the police went into the woods to make a dangerous arrest without any attempt to document their actions? Then that's easy too: assume it's murder unless they can prove otherwise by some facts beyond police testimony.

There are simply too many cases of police lying to protect each other for their testimony to be accorded much if any weight, and it's well known that the costs for honest police who testify against the transgressions of corrupt police are extremely high. The police had the ability to record exactly what happened. If there decided not to do so, we should presume they didn't want the details of what happened to come out, and we should assume that all police testimony without corroborating hard evidence is coordinated and false.
The opportunity is in the first consumer grade smart glasses. If MS could get their hardware there first, they had a chance to disrupt the Google/Apple (bi)monopoly on mobile devices. The Hololens2 experience is quite good, what one would want in a pair of smart glasses.
Per Wikipedia there are 55,000 substations in the US. With 800k cops, that in theory gives you not 1:1000, but a 1:15 ratio with cops, so perhaps 5 cops on duty at once if they do nothing else. But a lot of substations are intentionally in wide-open spaces, so shooting them from a distance is very plausible, meaning the cops will have a hard time covering all the space. And that's assuming cops do nothing else. National guard reserves are only another 400k, which does not change the math a ton.

Your build-a-wall plan is even less plausible. Assuming a half-acre per substation, that's over 6000 miles of walls. In non-flat areas, they might have to be quite tall. We're looking at billions of dollars here, but the hard part is likely the equipment and labor, and knock-on economic costs from supply chain disruption.

This kind of chaos and expense sounds like a terrorist's wildest dream, honestly, a cure worse than the disease.
I agree with all you said.
FBI warns of neo-Nazi plots as attacks on Northwest power grid spike

https://www.opb.org/article/2023/01/19/surge-in-oregon-washi...

"As a string of attacks on electrical substations unfolded in Oregon and Washington in 2022, the FBI was warning utilities of white supremacists’ plots to take down the nation’s power grid"

"The individuals of concern believe that an attack on electrical infrastructure will contribute to their ideological goal of causing societal collapse and a subsequent race war in the United States,” according to an FBI memo obtained by OPB and KUOW.

This has been going on for some time. This is not a bunch of environmentalists as some people have oddly assumed in this thread. This is part of a long pattern of right-wing political violence in the US that is occurring throughout the country, not just in North Carolina. Virtually every week, there’s an arrest of a right wing political group, candidate, or activist who is waging a campaign of violence against the American public. Blaming so-called "environmentalists" for what is clearly a repeated pattern of right wing political violence is about as tone deaf as you can get. Read the news.
That’s cool for the people who are part of these communities, but also explains why I never heard of any of these things.
In your second link, the article specifically states "McRae probably wasn’t acting as an ecosaboteur."

I don't know how you read that and came to the conclusion that "attacks by so called environmentalists" when the article comes to the opposite conclusion.
This assumes everyone is starting from the same place. And that tribalism isn't an inherent human trait, or is so mild it needs no conscious effort to counteract.

Some of us are born into privilege, and those who aren't do need some help to level the playing field. And that's likely at every stage of life, from forced integration of schools to extra grace for oppressed groups in the workplace.
