Two months after hiring Aric Toler from Bellingcat to provide real OSINT and prevent blunders like this one, but instead we get reverse situation with @AricToler legitimizing lies. His last tweet 17 hours ago still insist what they printed is true and there is no way of disproving it.

He doesn't earn the money by "doing work", and I don't think anyone would claim that to be the case. He earns money by taking risks, which is the cornerstone of capitalism, and something that most people aren't willing to do, especially to the extremes he has.. It's a valid way to earn money, and has nothing to do with "equality".

Of course, modern capitalism has devolved into crony capitalism, but that's a different topic altogether.
I think the daily show format succeeded because of the ironic humor excusing some of the exaggeration and bias. I was a huge fan and even drove to DC for the rally to restore sanity during his heights.

Without the ironic humor, (and without editorial oversight) jon comes across as arrogant and self righteous rants which don't use hyperbole as a punch line but as if a legitimate replacement for informed journalism. The script reads as an unhinged op-ed with rare and cherry-picked factual justifications.

Even when I agree with 90% of what he's saying, I cringe at how over the top he takes it and at how his emotional investment and self-righteous attitude undercuts any thoughtful or reasoned articulation of the facts of the issue he is discussing.

I'm not shocked at all that apple cut this show, and I don't even see it as censorship.
That seems like a rather obviously wrong take. There were ample companies supporting Epic (or rather, fighting Apple) before they filed their lawsuit, which was also long before Epic acquired bandcamp.

03/2022 Epic acquires bandcamp, a year after their trial.
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/02/arts/music/epic-games-ban...

Why would Epic acquire bandcamp as a "pawn" to use a year after their trial concluded? It's far more reasonable to assume Epic had a legitimate business interest in Bandcamp, and if anything, the execs of the companies had started talking due to the (concluded) lawsuit and shared interest in not losing 30% of their revenue.

> I don't think x86 will ever get to the level of power efficiency that ARM has, simply due to the fact the arm cores and instructions are all built and engineered for low power usage.

CPU backend side x86 and ARM is almost identical. It's mainly just the front end where the things are different. Like instruction decoding.
That's just one data point of many that wasn't already mentioned in this thread. I didn't intend to dismiss parent. I don't have my mind made up on this.

I remember when Top Gear got to test one of the early Tesla Model S on their track. They also managed to overheat the batteries and got it into limp mode. The 1% use case is hard to plan for apparently, especially for your first real effort at building a production EV.

This isn't unique to EVs either. You will find no shortage of people telling you to never buy the first model year of any vehicle if you value high reliability.

I don't know if "shit" or not, but I hadn't realized that many of the traditional ICE manufacturers are simply retrofitting ICE cars with EV parts. I test drove an audi q6 the other day and I was like "oh this feels and looks exactly like the ICE version". Turns out it doesn't even have a frunk. Why? because its the same exact model as the ICE, they just ripped out the ICE engine and put an EV one in. No wonder there expected range is awful...nothing about the car is engineered towards the advantages of using all electric (with the exception of no exhaust pipe).

Nit: Basically all stories have a form like that.

(I _think_ detective stories specifically choose for the protagonist to want societally-sanctioned retribution. The protagonist then has to publicly demonstrate that the antagonist deserves retribution, rather than take retribution on their own. And the stories also assume that society can and will inflict retribution on the antagonist once the society's rules are satisfied.)

From what I've read, the Ioniq 5 is really good (and built from the ground up).
Yeah a lot of people - like my elderly parents - don't understand stock valuation fluctuates and is not cash in the bank, and that his liquid assets are so obfuscated through bizarre holding mechanisms that no one really knows what these people are worth. That's why the Forbes list is a joke, I forget which billionaire said it but basically, "You don't know how much we are worth and you never will." I'm not even sure they know what they are worth ... how can someone with a thousand shell companies keep track? They just jet from one house to another, and their staff takes care of everything. I'd forget too if I slept in a different house every week.
>As a contractor I find the idea that someone should pay for my days off - for whatever the reason - to be more than a little bizarre.

I can guarantee you that, absent paid time off, a lot of people will come into the office every day even if it means foregoing vacation and even if they're coughing their lungs out.

Obviously if you're in business for yourself, you make your own decisions about work hours and work days. But a system where there are vacation and/or sick days, especially for salaried employees, has been the norm in many places for a very long time and is hardly bizarre.
I am very sorry (but, unfortunately, not surprised) to hear that. I hope that you’re doing okay.

Unemployment rate in Germany is about 5%, so comparable.

As with many labor protection laws, it is a mixed bag. Basically the regulation I have mentioned tries to separate the cases of "true asset deal" vs. "fake asset deal". That works most of the times, but sometimes an asset deal that was supposed to serve a genuinely good cause (one business trying to sell off a technology to another) to later got flagged as a transfer of business by courts, causing companies to go bankrupt, with ALL jobs being lost.

Being an employer myself, I once got bitten with wrongly getting flagged when trying to rescue the technology my shareholders had financially run into the ground, but a higher court later corrected that and decided that the motivation of the asset deal had been proper.
you are over estimating the amount of software work it takes when you do it right.
Absolutely agree, but what they don't have is unlimited rights to do business in foreign countries hostile to the US.

Am I rationalizing this wrongly? I'm not a lawyer and might genuinely have Dunning-Krugered myself into a corner. There are already established laws about lobbying and influencing US politics as an agent of a foreign government. This looks similar to that: in the one case a foreign government is paying you to speak; in the other case, a foreign government is threatening your assets in their country, with your speech as the demanded condition. Are these not similar?

Thank you, though.
A bit of a TLDR from some who had been through this and knows the saga:

The battery is fine. The issue is the part responsible for connecting/disconnecting the high voltage battery from the rest of the car when it’s off.

The relays can overheat from high current and weld open or closed. This is more prevalent in the higher performance models. Higher external temperatures, flooring it, and DC fast charging can all be part of the equation. Hit the wrong combo at the wrong time and… you lose the lottery.

This has been known for quite a while. Ford had a new part that fixes it which all the new vehicles had. But older cars weren’t given it until it failed (like mine). This has been a very sore spot with owners.

This recall fixes that. And it’s good they’re doing it, though way later than they should have.

There was a software update to “fix” the issue but it didn’t work. I think what it really did was try to help ensure the cars could limp to a dealer if it happened instead of just refusing to start. I’m not clear, but it’s well known in the community it didn’t fix it.
I don't have a practical usecase, it's just the fact that most CAD software is not mathematically correct that bothers me.
At least where I have worked, the attitude is your PTO is yours and you can use it for whatever you want, no questions asked. How can an employer be mad for an employee using the PTO they were given? It's Personal time off.

Thanks :) and keep up the great work with Resend!
Is John Stewart really edgy? He seems like a middle of the road Democrat, and your funky electoral system notwithstanding most people actually vote for them.
That thread seems to be attacking the wrong question. The controls are on people, not the software. Individuals should be getting access, and gnucash should just be implementing the protocols for access. Gnucash shouldn't have any secrets in it in the first place.

Not that that would change anything, I doubt banks would give individuals access either.
You just spoiled my excuse to watch Die Hard again.
Sick day? What is this “sick day”? I’m a corporate employee and have been for years. What I receive is Paid Time Off. I can earn up to 160 hours per year, with additional time granted for public holidays (Christmas, New Year’s, etc.)
Call in sick? One less day available. Contract COVID and need to be out a week or more? Need time off like to convalesce a dying parent? Too bad. Adios vacation.
Yes, I’m aware there are plenty of people such military personnel, the self employed, etc. who do not receive paid time off. My point is that “sick days” have become a thing of the past.

Their theories are interesting and would explain how they obtained the certs if true. Perhaps the take-away here is to have multiple probes on multiple providers checking all of ones TLS fingerprints and alerting on unknown fingerprints and then checking the certificate transparency log or lack thereof.

Your argument doesn't hold if (and because) AppleTV's subscriber growth due to Jon's show was much less important than Apple Inc's presence in China (which means toeing the Party line). Nothing can be more important than China for Apple.
You should expect that. For non-breaking news.

But when you are asking a journalist to report on an event minutes to hours after it happened then obviously they will have limited time to validate a claim. Especially in a war-zone where their ability to operate is limited.

It's not really possible to be fast and thorough at the same time.

There's a trilogy of movie fight compilations set to music that was on youtube until it was removed for copyright. Your comment about Bourne vs Bond and how they use the scenery is illustrated in some very cool action shots, especially one where a camera follows Bourne as he jumps from a building into a window to catch up with an assailant. The first is now here: https://vimeo.com/68656656

I think action can be made much more interesting by a good visual director moving the viewpoint, balancing the view of the action against quick cuts or angles to serve the needs of the special effects and stunt people. There's a silhouetted scene in Bond's Skyfall where the colours and viewpoint are far more artistic, without detracting from the impact of the fight.

They could still report breaking news and unverified claims, but they should at least do so in a slightly more responsible way, e.g. by limiting the headline to only what is actually verified at that time. If they want to include unverified claims in the body of the article, at least there they have more space to make it more explicitly clear what is and is not verified.

Now compute all the value Jeff Bezos added to our society. It’s the sum of the value each Amazon customer/seller/employee/investor extracted by using it. I bet it’s an order of magnitude larger.

The evidence from reputable OSINT orgs like Bellingcat is pretty-much showing evidence that this was an accident on the part of Palistinian fighters.

There are multiple videos showing a volley of rockets were launched from within Gaza (not from Bellingcat, but other OSINT groups -- Bellingcat not ready to make a final conclusion here). One of the rockets appeared to fail while it was rising - it swerved wildly and then went dark. Then the explosion happened very nearby. Of course, there's a chance the videos are fake in some way, but that's what we've seen so far.

edit: Al Jazeera believes that the rocket did not fail, but was destroyed by Iron Dome defenses, and still believes that the explosion is an Israeli airstrike. They haven't really provided any evidence of the latter, only the former. Personally I'm thinking it's possible that the explosion in the courtyard was still caused by this event even if AJ is correct that Iron Dome shot the missile down. No other major news source seems to be following up on the "iron dome" angle.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/19/what-hit-ahli-hosp...

Bellingcat has photos of the impact crater - it's small, much too small for Israeli airstrike weapons.

https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/10/18/identifying-possi...

So what it sounds like is that there was an encampment of Palestinians who were taking refuge in the parking-lot/courtyard of this hospital, the rocket failed, and some or all of its explosives and fuel fell into this courtyard and killed a large number of people.

And yes, this is fundamentally the expected outcome of waging a war in an area the size of Montreal or Pittsburgh with even higher population density. Especially since the nearest major targets are north of Gaza, and Gaza's densest area is the northern-half of the strip.

These are weapons maintained and often built in the blockaded open-air prison of Gaza, they're not exactly Raytheon products -- a certain number of failures is to be expected and failures with offensive rockets are going to be incredibly dangerous to bystanders. I wouldn't be surprised if those rockets have killed more of their own people than Israelis.

I oppose the occupation and oppression of the Palestinians, but the facts are the facts.

edit2: My opinion is that this was almost certainly an accident. Either a Palistinian rocket failed, or possibly if AJ is telling the truth the Iron Dome accidentally caused the explosion (either directly or indirectly) when attempting to shoot down the rocket volley.
