Because gun owners fetishize home defense, aka the "you wake up to smashed glass in the middle of the night" scenario, confronting an armed murderer/robber/rapist/child snatcher. The sort of staple of lifetime channel shows, 80's-90's movies, etc. And thus, anything that they think might prevent them from getting to a gun, or using it, is automatically off the table, and you also see "slippery slope" arguments: ie a smartgun is now available so _________ is going to take away everyone's non-smart guns, etc.

"homeowner stops baddie in their home" is incredibly rare and almost never happens.

What does happen, however, is: homeowner commits suicide with their gun, or homeowner's children shoot themselves or a friend. Having a gun in the home is associated with a significantly higher suicide rate.

The facts don't bear out the necessity of protecting oneself against late-night home invasions.

Burglars prefer mid-day because there's less chance of finding someone home and penalties are lower; in many states a nighttime break-in pushes the seriousness of the charge up quite a bit, as does breaking into an occupied home.

Burglary rates have plunged over the last couple of decades, 75% since the 80's. The country-wide rate is 440 per 100,000 people, or a rate of 0.4% per person per year. The rate has little to do with gun laws or ownership rates; the rates are highest in southern states, lowest in northeast states like MA and NH. It's a function of poverty rates and how desperate people are, not how easy it is to own a gun.

What discourages home invasions: Locked doors/windows, landscaping that doesn't hide people while they're attempting to break in, motion lights, security cameras...and having government services that help people in poverty.

That's very very vague.
>They just conquered 10% of Ukraine, so they might do that 10 more times.

How? Meatgrind the rest of the country? That's going to cause immense losses among Russian troops and sowing as much discord as possible in Russian civil society seems like a great strategy to prevent that.

>They want a stable Russia

They want a Russia that is economically advantageous to them. Too much Russian success will cause Europe to become even more reliant on the US and therefore antagonistic to China. China's and Russia's interests are not aligned.

>They walked in, were surprised by unexpected resistance, walked out and resorted to taking back the parts of Ukraine that prefer to speak Russian.

This is cope. Look at how much it took to take Bakhmut.

My experience with VF2 has been great. I love the standard RISC-V boot process. My board runs Arch from NVMe.

The weakest link seems to be the GPU driver (Imagination Technologies), as it is proprietary and not very good.

We know they are working on a mesa3d driver, but I am not sure it will cover the GPU variant used in the VF2 SoC.

Same question to you: are chatbot clones of ourselves in our future?

NHS trusts shared patient data with Facebook without consent
Corporate news like CNN is to blame for this. People don’t trust institutions because institutions constantly lie to us. This makes some people put their skepticism into overdrive and results in dumb things like this.
What do you mean? HTML is just a hierarchical document format, and CSS is just a logical document styling language. Those two are about as simple as they can be.

Accessibility is a very hard and complex thing where half of its outspoken "promoters" fight against every gain because they have money invested on the status-quo. That's why it doesn't improve fast.

Most developers avoid CSS exactly like most developers avoid SQL, to avoid logical programing. That doesn't mean that logical programing isn't the best known paradigms for data querying and document styling, it just means that most developers are bad and will avoid learning something as hard as they can. Honestly, I have no idea how to fix this, but conceding our tools to the preferences of the worst of us isn't going to lead to anything good.

JS indeed can be improved. But guess what, many people are working hard to replace it.

The lawyer kept digging the hole deeper and deeper, and (as a non-expert) I agree that it seems that the lawyer is at serious risk of being disbarred.

Interesting documents are from #24 onwards:

- #24 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...): "unable to locate most of the case law cited in Plaintiff’s Affirmation in Opposition, and the few cases which the undersigned has been able to locate do not stand for the propositions for which they are cited"

- #25 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...) & #27 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...): order to affix copies of cited cases

- #29: attached the cases - later revealed to be a mixture of made up (bogus) for some, vs irrelevant for others

- #30 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...): "the authenticity of many of these cases is questionable" - polite legal speak for bogus. And "these cases do exist but submits that they address issues entirely unrelated to the principles for which Plaintiff cited them" - irrelevant. And a cutting aside that "(The Ehrlich and In re Air Crash Disaster cases are the only ones submitted in a conventional format.)" - drawing attention to the smoking gun for the bogus cases

- #31 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...): an unhappy federal judge: "The Court is presented with an unprecedented circumstance. A submission filed by plaintiff’s counsel in opposition to a motion to dismiss is replete with citations to non-existent cases. ... Six of the submitted cases appear to be bogus judicial decisions with bogus quotes and bogus internal citations" ---- this PDF is worth reading in full, it is only 3 pages & excoriating

- #32 affidavits, including the ChatGPT screenshot

- #33 (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.57...): an even more unhappy judge: invitation for the lawyer & law firm to explain why they "ought not be sanctioned"
Of course I do not know, but he should have come clean. "Hey, I can't find this case in WestLaw, but chatGPT found it and produced it". Instead he just submitted it as-is right out of chatGPT. Alarm bells had to be going off in his mind that a federal court decision in a lawsuit was less than 5 pages
It’s actually five films because “The Passion According to Andrei” is simply the original longer cut of “Andrei Rublev”.

I believe Tarkovsky himself preferred the final cut which is 20 minutes shorter (but still over three hours, so not exactly a cinematic snack).

100% agree with this. Look for things that serve needs of real people, but where the scale is too small to be interesting to VCs.
Which I feel is a perfectly valid argument against it and I would definitely not trust some random small company to not have bugs in their code. I'm not defending the gun but simply pointing out that if you are going to voice concerns then actually look into what the thing is first.

> It is remarkable to see (in this age of the internet) the huge gap between what the media believes about the present vs. what is more likely based on the far deeper amount of information made available on the internet.

So "the media" has no internet?

> Society is made up of many parallel subcultures, and only a very small group of them keep journals, write, or otherwise record history. That group appears to be mostly disconnected from the nuts and bolts of what is actually going on technologically, politically and economically.

Is the fact they write or record history stopping them from digging out those real deep youtube videos about the truth behind everything?

> It has always been understood that history was unreliable, but the collapse of media credibility as we gain access to primary sources stands as a stark warning of just how little we really know about the past.

Did "the media credibility" collapse in that very moment when you found out that the pentagon was behind 9/11?
I don't think it's too difficult to infer that siloed irrelevance etc may be the case, doesn't seem like much of a flipside to critically studying negative reviews
the same thing applies to eviction moratorium, there are a lot of financial institutions, big and small, are targeting mom and pop landlords who cannot withstand the non paying tenants. The owners sold at a cheaper price given the promise of no headache and the institutions have lawyers on retainers. Seen this played out many times, I even got involved in a JV deal for one. It's insane how californians complain about high rent prices, with insanely high risk like this of course there needs to be a high return, not to mention the nimby limiting the supply.
Statistically yes. But I can imagine the risk/benefit calculation becomes a bit murkier if you live somewhere rural where you’re effectively “on your own” when it comes to police response time.

The data includes granular details of pages viewed, buttons clicked and keywords searched. It is matched to the user’s IP address ... and in many cases details of their Facebook account.

The ICO (UK data protection regulator) is investigating and it seems the data shared includes "special category" health data which cannot be legally shared with any third parties without explicit consent.
That comparison only holds for the smaller sizes.

This is an interesting idea for a browser extension. Maybe needs a change in name from URL/URI. Could be a DURI, Discrete Universal Record Interaction. Just spitballing. You could share one-liners similar to how one might share curl command-lines but expect them to work in multiple environments.
The most common uses of a gun in the a US home is suicide, or death by negligent discharge by a child (I use the term negligent discharge because it's the adult's responsibility to secure the gun.)

"Homeowner stops break-in" is exceedingly rare as to be statistically insignificant, and it really needs to stop being cited by everyone as a reason for everything from permissive gun legislation to arguments against technologies like this.
> Strategic lawsuits against public participation, or strategic litigation against public participation, are lawsuits intended to censor, intimidate, and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their criticism or opposition.

Anti-SLAPP suits are filed by the person who said the thing. And yes some states have good anti-slapp protections but that means the rest of Americans don’t enjoy that freedom.
Politically though if those houses are uninsurable, if there is a big fire, the government will bail the homeowners out, so it’s effectively zero cost fire insurance.
Not knowing anything at all about what you're doing I'm sure my suggestions are extremely good :) But at 10 characters I'd use local storage and instead of having any sort of account system or such, if it needs to be shared you could just use a link with the string as a query parameter.
Earlier, when I made the comment above, I tried it with YouTube, and it did not work. Now it works. This could be a bug rather than a change in policy.
SEARCH can have a request body.

The purpose of take home exams is to reduce the impact of a time-constrained testing environment on the results of the test.

The purpose is not to encourage less-than-sufficient studying or other preparation. E.g. "Oh it's take home so we can just cheat!", Or somehow deluding oneself into thinking the cheating is endorsed.

Examinations will just be more tightly locked down if some students continue to abuse the system.
Not everything needs to be a problem in order to push boundaries. Maybe it doesn’t make economic sense now, but hardly anything does until way down the road.

It's sadly not that surprising. Germany has a lot of heavy industries that require access to relatively low and stable energy prices. Furthermore, given the changed world situation regarding energy and the lack of developed nuclear power, they will need to rely on wind and solar power to a greater extent.

Regrettably, energy poverty is a new concept we will have to learn in Europe, I'm afraid...

Depends on the risk of "bad thing happening due to gun" vs "bad thing happening due to someone breaking into your house while you're there." Which in turn depends on where you live, the local crime rate statistics and possibly the response time of the local police department. I suspect the math does not favor guns as often as some people think it does but there probably are times it does favor guns.

Solaris in particular seems more relevant than ever with the rise of ChatGPT and other generative AI services that do not understand what their outputs mean to us, and often produce eery simulacra of life.

The final scenes of Solaris show this situation brilliantly in that their content matches the way it is shown: The scenes themselves mirror the depicted content with perplexing compositions, zooms and transitions, almost as if they were themselves created by an entity that does not understand the content or medium:

Sure, this could be done badly and could backfire. But it could also be done in a once a week session where partners share what they feel to each other. This is what I'd like actually and I admit it is not easy. I personally get over the small things fast and tend to forget them till their next occurrence, and at some point of this repeating I end up just spitting it out on the spot. It doesn't help that my partner dismisses everything I say as a kind of being oversensitive. If it wasn't for us having a child together we'd most likely go our separate ways.

This has to be merged with inherited lineage trauma. I've seen many adults of the previous generations who were incapable of talking or listening normally, creating cycles of silence and rage. It took decades for me to snap out of it, and when I tried to get the point across, they kept repeating nodding but repeating the same things. Very disturbing.

"since the main risk seems to be your kids finding it"

Not an issue if you're storing it properly. Even if you have biometrics it should still be stored properly to prevent theft.

"or an attacker overpowering you and shooting you with your own gun"

Gear is no replacement for training. Even if they can't shoot you with it, you have much larger problems if they can overpower and disarm you. It won't stop them from bludgeoning you to death with, etc.

"Also you don't have to worry about someone stealing the gun and committing crimes with it (maybe it can be hacked, but probably not by the typical home invader!)."

That's not really how criminal systems work. Usually your common criminals are selling the stuff they steal on the black market. You have specialized shops (organized crime) who buy stuff like this (guns, phones, computers, etc) and can hack it and resell it.

It's an interesting concept, but it will likely take a lot of testing. "Well-designed" is a matter of opinion, and not everyone shares that view.
OpenAI deserves some blame here. Their product UI does a very poor job conveying that it will just make things up when asked for specific information. And in the conversation there's no particular hint that the confidently stated "facts" are not in fact true. A large number of people get tripped up by this when first using ChatGPT. I did myself, it took me a day or two to realize the papers or web pages it was claiming existed didn't. It's pathological.

Not typical, but umbrella insurance is the path to covering something like this.

That said, I do agree with you with regards to insurance. Health, car, house, etc insurance all seem to be closer to payment plans rather than actual insurance for catastrophic events. If there were viable options that had 10k or even 50k deductibles that noticeably lowered premiums, I would sign up.
That reminds me of reporting software like Crystal Reports. A thin veneer over a relation model (or, often, a collection models abstracted). I understand why businesses choose them, but they've always struck me as a bit of a shortcut. I'm always more curious about what the business does with the reports, and why we can't program to those requirements.
