Autopsy: Gunshot residue ‘not seen’ on activist killed at police training center

https://www.ajc.com/news/crime/activist-killed-at-police-tra...

"According to the autopsy sent to ABC News, Teran did not have gunpowder residue on their hands. Officials claimed Teran fired the first shot at a state trooper."

I’m curious whether the government certification / reporting process is punitive in nature and perhaps provides incentives to fabricate compliance. I’ve led a fintech startup through IT security audits mandated by top US banks and found them to be highly collaborative and helpful. Much less of a “pass/fail” judgement and more “you’ve made it to X on your own; here’s some resources on how to hit Y affordably so we can begin to do business.”
Here’s the summary of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s findings: https://gbi.georgia.gov/press-releases/2023-04-14/gbi-invest...

The protestor had a gun on him. The model and serial number matched that of a gun he purchased in 2020. The round recovered from the state trooper’s abdomen matched that gun.
Doesn't Azure have a separate cloud exclusively for the US goverment? If so why would they use the commercial one?
Again, no. It only uses Bluetooth for "messaging, alerts and notifications" and to use the phone's Internet.

It does not sync over Bluetooth.

There are many other sad stories like this.

And this poor kid has started working for the Stanford Internet Observatory, one of the biggest censors of the Internet. It's sad that this is going on at an institution of higher learning.
Not really. It's not like there are no decimals.
but it would still be bettter and more performant than electron based apps.

a little memory heavy, but no more than electron apps while being less janky
I was about to agree with you. But then I thought about it. Linux kernel handles way more so it's definitely not outright impossible.

Decriminalizing use basically decriminalizes selling as far as I can tell here in the northwest. Police and prosecutors can no longer threaten users with legal action to give up their dealers, and since buying is now low risk, dealing also becomes lower risk. I’ve seen people on the street looking for drugs and find them on my morning walks (they are pretty vocal when asking, and dealers aren’t shy about replying).
The line about judging investments purely from a holding standpoint is kinda fraught and I'm surprised to see it so confidently printed. What the authors are appealing to is the E in ESG investing. Freakonomics recently did a great interview with Kelly Shue about the effects of ESG investing and viable counter examples like Engine Number 1: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/are-e-s-g-investors-actuall...

The gist of the study that Kelly performed showed that many, if not most, companies with good E values are companies who never had environmental impact in the first place. They exist in well trodden spaces whose biggest impacts were office space and data centers. The net action of divesture causes less money available to be able to innovate, doesn't provide the kind of momentum an activist investor like Engine Number 1 can, and works by proliferating the idea that change can be claimed by effectively ignoring that problematic companies exist and will continue to exist. The last bit, for those unaware, comes from the fact that even if all cars today were made fully electric there is still a huge line of demand for essential products, like fertilizer, that include oil derivatives.

My point more broadly being in order to judge consumers you can't just look at holdings, you need to see what they're materially supporting. If they materially support the indefinite expansion of oil extraction and not trying to innovate away from oil then they're doing harm. Simply investing in a company is not indication of how an investor would vote when presented an opportunity to change the company direction by a group of activists. Engine Number 1 did exactly this with Exxon and shareholders voted as I described.
From [7]:

'While the official autopsy report states “gunpowder residue is not seen” on Teran’s hands, it is not conclusive because gunpowder is not always visible to the naked eye. A gunshot residue kit was performed, but those results have not been returned from the GBI Crime Lab, the medical examiner’s office told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.'

Those results were later released. They were positive.

I shoot handguns on a monthly basis. Anecdotally, I have to do a lot of shooting before I have visible residue on my hands.
1:06 - what is moving in the top right quadrant of the video amongst the stars?
Pin used to confuse me, but now it's clearer. It's right in the name: Pin this thing to where it is in memory, never try to move it.

Rust can and does move things around as it feels the need. So you need something like Pin if what you've built can't move.

It's confusing if you're coming from a C++ background because in C++ something only "moves" if you explicitly std::move it. In Rust its effectively the reverse. A crude way of thinking about Rust's call pattern is that it's basically the opposite: as if every call was a std::move operation.

So Pin is basically just saying: you can't move this, don't try. The memory can't be moved. And it's mostly used in corner cases where some kind of explicit memory management is involved.

Most Rust users should not have to worry about it. It's one of those things that becomes more of a concern if you're writing library code for low level datastructures, or interfacing with C/C++ libraries.
I think it's worth noting that this report comes from the Georgia's GBI, i.e. the same people who are accused of killing the activist in question. The previous report comes from a (nominally) neutral source (the DeKalb County Medical Examiner's office).

In other words: the accused are investigating themselves, and have produced a report that suggests that they were justified in killing a climate activist. I think that's a pattern we'd normally treat with extreme skepticism; it's unclear that GBI has earned an exception to that.

You can’t risk your business on broken software. An engine company also has to support old releases of the engine for a certain period of time because you can’t just upgrade your shipped game to every new version of an engine that might contain back compat breaking changes — or changes that have too high a cost to port to.
We're a few narratives deep.

You're responding to the "noble savages" strawman -- the OP article never claimed such.

(Moreover, you're responding with a relatively isolated incident of Native Americans driving buffalos off cliffs, which I agree happened and Is Not Good. But it's odd to mention in the larger historical context that the American Buffalo became endangered due to industrial scale slaughter caused by European settlers--A Big Deal, relatively speaking.)

On balance, yes, Native people are often the best guardians of the forest for a mix of reasons. One is the animistic belief systems, which falls under the "Noble Savage" bucket. But the other is they more often than not don't industrial-scale commoditize their living spaces, part and parcelling out the goods as raw material inputs. Which other groups, like Asians and Whites, often have.
> Putin/Lavrov cannot afford for Ukraine to be a long term success, another East Slavic rival to their own regime not under their domination.

I think this is also some of the logic of the PRC w.r.t. Taiwan. Who in the PRC wants to concede that the Chinese diaspora is huge and that it can contain a multitude of sociopolitical systems ?

Much as American states are the "laboratories of democracy".
Yes, but what about the tens of thousands of "green transition" environmental policy advisors who whitewashed capitalism and business as usual and got rich?

There's some balance!
I know these are all words, but its arrangement in a culinary sense is so unfamiliar I would assume this was output from the neo-markov chain-gang.

Nope, you’re just used to it. If you’re used to Celsius it’s basically no different…
Just today I was shopping for cereals for our kids at French Carrefour. I dont eat it personally, so as usually a bit struggle for a guy in big mall to even find it.

Found normal section, tons of these known brands like Kellogs, when looking at content it was all 17+ grams of pure sugar amd looking very artificially. Huge shelves full of it. Fuck that, I aint going to ruin life of my kids.

Went to bio section of the store, picked up some Carrefour's branded oatmeal with few bits of thin slices of dark chocolate (unfortunately this was requirement), still 10g of sugars IIRC but much more fiber and overall looking more healthy.

Priming from TV ads is still strong, folks buy tons of that crap for their kids thinking how great parents they are (and they drown it with big glass of orange/apple juice, whats better than starting every day with 50g or more of raw sugars when you are 4 years old and weight 20kg).
VC backed for profit engine is precisely what Unity is though?

So is Unreal and CryEngine.

Both of which only survive on graphical fidelity, which is not what Unity was touted for.

Unity was for filling that small-to-medium sized games in terms of man power, if you got 15 years of experience then you should know that.

I think it would be more interesting to see a Coop backed engine, where the COOP has to listen to it's customers.

Since my biggest annoyance with proprietary software or in this case game engine is that you can create the most elaborate sub-engine (for example a fully-dynamic RPG) and see it all come crashing down because some dimwit at Epic Games reeeeally wants to push the latest eye candy that breaks your sub-engine.

That's the one thing OSS is far superior at, you can fork the engine form a new developer community or even work with the OG maintainers to incorporate the sub-engine as a module and as such be officially supported both by your team and theirs.

Meanwhile with proprietary software, you're stuck at this particular version with no legal way of ensure the survival of the project, RPGMaker games are the perfect example of this, as soon as you venture past it's originally intended fidelity, you're essentially going to be limited by the engine in terms of performance.
Linux kernel doesn’t require signed NDA contracts with console manufacturers.
Several countries in Latin America are near the top in murder rate, guns or no guns. That activists are killed more often in places where people in general are killed more often doesn't by itself tell you much about whether guns should be legal or not.
Very interested to hear the HN crowd's reaction to this one. I like to annoy English grads by telling them that If... [1] is the greatest poem of the 20th century.

Wow, that was a really sad read.

I can only believe that this occurred because software "engineering" doesn't actually have standards and licensing to ensure a minimum level of competence. I'd be willing to bet a civil engineer would be a hell of a lot less likely to forward a clearly falsified report if they knew their license was on the line and that they were exposing themselves to legal jeopardy.
I think I'm confused. You make it sound like the "tape reader" hardware/driver isn't talking to the "file reader" part in software . Didn't the file reader tell the tape reader the size of the file, so it would already know where the end was (how many blocks it should read)?
You're right! My mistake. It looked like there was a sort of deli-slicer blade and suction to remove pages, but, looking again, it's not what's happening. That's what I get for posting pre morning coffee...
Good to know, esp about IHP

Argon is commonly used for double glazed windows so I would assume that the manufacturer has the experience to do that. Vacuum insulated panels exist but since that is for insulating properties I don't know if there would be any advantage for sound deadening.

Suggesting that students can't milk their prestigious degree is just false. It is a fact that you can, and it is stated as supporting the author's argument.

Being a student at Stanford (or anywhere else) doesn't obligate one to 'great pursuits'. This is just evangelical nonsense trying to keep the prestige of the school high. It also sets up a false narrative that an individual's choices are the main factor of one's success.

I think there is value in looking at recognizing that school isn't an end in itself, but this sort of preachy message is too much.

Here's some better advice: Do what you want, ignore people telling you the 'right way'.
From the very article in the OP

"The destruction of the dam, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a news conference a week after the event, "ruined their counteroffensive in this direction." It was a comment that didn’t fit particularly well with his claim that the Ukrainians had destroyed the dam themselves."
I have read "directionality" being translated as trend in Spanish. I think it is a misnomer because it doesn't appear on the Cambridge dictionary. The correct word should be direction!
Yes, exactly.

Courting the maintainers for their permission first could have avoided this scenario.

So, assuming you did that but Ziglang leadership declined, for whatever reason, then the alternative would be to host the bounty on Wasmer’s repo as they have done now https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/issues/4218.
yes; but then people wanted to be able to read the tapes they'd written long before the hardware and media acquired such features, so TAR kept the ability (it was more don't change things that aint broke, i think).

ARC and ZIP files are written as a fresh take on the idea of archive files, with much more capable hardware, after TAR had been around a couple decades. They have many features designed to use those new hardware capabilities, and were (and still are) very popular because of those.

They have bits that probably seem dated now, too. Breaking archives into floppy size chunks? but without any sort of forward error correction? No format support for unicode? (who cares it wasn't invented when the ZIP file spec was created?)
The main problem with this take is that it fails to explain the differences and their consequences.

If the differences and consequences are the same as if China was outright ignoring IP ownership*, why does it matter that you call the ignoring "different standards"?

*- not that they aren't already
I find puffed grains or fruit-free muesli to be much more palatable. They’re basically the same thing (though sourced from other grains.).

I can’t get over oatmeal’s texture.
Nutriscore is terrible. They keep on diabolising saturated fat despite tye lack of evidence, and they give a pass to sugar and omega-6 despite the mounting evidence that they are the cause of the obesity crisis.

For instance, they label Roquefort with an F because it's fatty and salty, but nobody's gotten fat eating that, you can't just go binging pounds of it, it's just not that kind of food.
While true, how it was explained to me was that the autopsy did a visual inspection, while the GBI test, which was done afterwards, was a more thorough chemical one. However, I don’t have a source on this one.
I've done this previously, about 10 years ago, for a distributed kv store I wrote.

Not a lot of fun.

Meanwhile, I'm guessing, there are new useful utilities out.

Compare this to the conversation on stackexchange yesterday where a small company CTO was worried about lying about pentesting.

The exact same ethical issues and commercial in entices apply in 10 person teams and 2BN grants.

It looks to me like we need something like professional engineer status at any given organisation that has independent and legal personal sign off

(ie a railway engineer can simply stop for example the 10bn pound HS2 railway project by simply not signing off one piece of paper. And the management know that. And so they have to deal with him, whoever he is.

The CISO of even penn state has no such leverage.

Edit: I think we should look first to see what balance of powers exists in an organisation - labour represented by unions? Management vs tech? sales vs everyone else ?

He was so committed to nonviolence that he purchased a handgun and somehow one of the bullets from that gun ended up in a state trooper’s abdomen.

From the Georgia Bureau of Investigation [1]:

> Today, the GBI received confirmation from a firearms transaction record that in September 2020, Manuel Esteban Paez Teran legally purchased the firearm that was used in the shooting of a GSP trooper.

> The handgun is described as a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9mm. Forensic ballistic analysis has confirmed that the projectile recovered from the trooper’s wound matches Teran’s handgun.

You may or may not know that the term ultrabook is an intel trademark, so you are not going to find an ultrabook branded machine with AMD in it.

I'm sure intel is pumped that the term is being genericized.
Don't just sneak "console gamers" in there, that's disingenuous when the GP didn't say anything about them.

Anyways, statistics aside he's right. Mobile games aren't the same thing as console/PC games. They are, almost without exception, thinly veiled monetization machines designed to be almost fun but not actually fun, just so you will pay money. They are literally designed to be less fun as a business strategy. There are games on real gaming platforms which are just as exploitative and poorly designed, but they are the exception. With mobile games they are the rule.

Given that the nature of the markets is so wildly different, it's perfectly reasonably to say "no, these are different things".
Why hard to ignore? Is the premise that everyone is ignorant of the special knowledge that only activists have and everyone should be forced to consume? Perhaps most people already know about the subject and are either already making their own changes or simply don't care. In both cases, hard to ignore activism does nothing to advance the cause and only serves to discredit the message by making it associated with unlikable and often seemingly unhinged activists. Of course if the purpose is to impress one's friends, mission accomplished.
I think this is a good suggestion; I was pondering what simple thing I could build in OCaml, Haskell, and F# to compare them.
"more thorough"
Unity provides a good example of why it would be a wise strategy. You don’t need a unicorn in this space, just something that can throw off serious cash over time as that 2.5% compounds.
It doesn't have to be complete and it will probably thrive. Misinformation will take a nose dive compared to today since you can't have multiple anonymous accounts constantly being created and driving nonsense.
This resonates. Still, even simple Excel spreadsheets shared on OneDrive often end up a mess and need grooming by someone with some common sense.

- Master Job List v2-new.xlsx

- Master Job List v2-new updated.xlsx

- Master Job List v2-new 2023.xlsx

And then you open it up and there are 7 different fonts, sizes, duplicate sheets with conflicting information, circular refrerences, macros that won't load, some VBScript from 2004 that no longer runs... and this is the document that the COO uses daily to run the entire company.

I'm not sure about that, the more I think about things the less likely I am to come to a firm decision.

I have gotten to the stage now where I just accept the decision may turn out to be wrong but it won't be the end of the world if it is, I'm not in charge of anything that dangerous.
Okay? Georgia bureau of investigation isn’t exactly a neutral third party unfortunately, also, again, they can lie and omit without consequences. I’m pointing out that due to the existing corruption baked into the justice system and police force, it’s extremely difficult to buy anything said no matter how many fancy labels is put into it.
I wonder if the new-edition approach could be done by interpreting pre-2024 code as if everything had a Leak bound. So instead of a not-Leak type being disallowed when passed to a pre-2024 module, it would not pass type checking because everything in the pre-2024 module required Leak.
