It's clear that the current leadership of the EU has led it to slide away from democracy with a number of missteps that clearly don't represent the people of the EU , but the desires of a very small group of well-entrenched eurocrats.

It's time to let the EU know that we need change, because times are tough. The problem is: there is no mechanism for the people of the EU to petition the commission. Only lobbying groups

> Vaccinated residents with breakthrough infections were significantly less likely to transmit them: 28% versus 36% for those who were unvaccinated. But the likelihood of transmission grew by 6% for every five weeks that passed since someone’s last vaccine shot.

Excuse me if I'm not wowed. As annoying as anti-vaxers as a whole are, the other side where the vaccines are viewed as an absolute panacea might've actually made us even worse off. I feel like there wasn't much of a political push to get better vaccines made because that would be admitting what we have isn't that great.
Over the long term, the yield will uninvert and normalize.

The problem is that we don't know if it will happen with short-term rates dropping, or if long-term rates increasing (or which combination thereof).

If short-term rates remain 5.5%+ like they are today, the yield-curve could normalize with 10Y being at 7% or higher, meaning today's 10Y at 5% would be a bad buy.

Alternatively, if short-term rates drop to 3% and thus 10Y declines to 4.5% (but still normalizes), then buying 10Y at 5% today would be a good idea and better than buying a 10Y later.
longer training too. a two year college degree in policing feels like the minimum. we do that in Canada. Actually train police officers in de-escalation techniques, and in some amount of social work adjacent stuff, like how to deal with people with mental health problems, domestic situations or drug abuse problems in a more intelligent manner.

This also filters out ppl who don't have the attention span or the brain cells to do that, which is a good thing. We also have separate non police folks for parking violations and other more menial stuff.

Because these crimes are often not preplanned and come out of bad situations that start comparatively cool, and then escalate out of control.

By preventing the situation prior to the escalation, the more serious events don’t happen as often.

I think the possibility of this alternate navigation through cities and buildings is why certain open world games are so popular. For instance, the buildability of Minecraft and destructibility of GTA both enable worlds of exceptions and edge cases, where players can come up with alternate pathways to their goal, and where the latent environmental possibilities can even shape the player’s goals.

In ill-designed sandbox games without sufficient storyline (or other meaning-making mechanisms), if I run up against the edge of a map, or can’t pick up whatever decorative object, there’s a certain disappointment - that the world is limiting, but there isn’t sufficient purpose/meaning to balance those limitations.

In real life, there’s a reason we don’t indiscriminately blast holes through walls (other than perhaps lack of appropriate tool) - we care about the people on the other side, the asset comprised by the wall material, etc. But the material possibility of such hole-blasting always remains.

This is a rambling comment with unfinished thoughts, but what I’m getting at is: there’s a relationship between potential interactions w/ our environment and the “amount” of meaning that we ascribe and extract from it.

Conspiracy theories have completely turned on their heads in recent years.

If you went back 10-15 years everyone was talking about how electric cars are being suppressed.

Now similar people are talking about how electric cars part of some vast conspiracy to limit travel.. oddly most of the people posting this kind of stuff don't really travel at all.

Another is UFOs, conspiracy theorists used to mostly say they are real. Now you are as likely to find conspiracy theories that say UFOs are a conspiracy to unify humanity against an outside threat.

> Abstract

> FOLLOWING A DISCUSSION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL FACTORS RELATED TO POLICE-COMMUNITY RELATIONS, THE AUTHOR DISCUSSES THE RATIONALE BEHIND, AND RESULTS OF THIS CALIFORNIA EXPERIMENT. IN 1969, THE MENLO PARK POLICE FORCE CHANGED FROM THE TRADITIONAL MILITARISTIC UNIFORM TO BLAZERS AND TIES, MORE IN KEEPING WITH CIVILIAN MODES OF DRESS. RANK WAS NOT EXHIBITED, NIGHTSTICKS WERE DISPENSED WITH, AND GUNS WERE WORN BENEATH THE BLAZER. RESULTS OF THIS NEW POLICE IDENTITY INCLUDE PEER GROUP ISOLATION, INCREASED INVOLVEMENT IN EDUCATION, INCREASED RECRUITMENT OF INDIVIDUALS WITH COLLEGE DEGREES, AND A DECREASE IN PERSONNEL TURNOVER. A 1971 COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE MENLO PARK POLICE AND TWO OTHER DEPARTMENTS IN THE AREA INDICATED A DECREASED NEED FOR A SYMBOL OF AUTHORITY AND IMPROVED POLICE-COMMUNITY RELATIONS IN MENLO PARK. DESPITE ATTITUDINAL AND BEHAVIORAL DIFFERENCES, THERE WERE NO DIFFERENCES IN GENERAL PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT MEASUREMENTS. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
first the article jumped the gun when saying it's by Hetzner/Linode, as it as much could have been done by the carrier the data-center connects to and from what I know about German espionage/wiretapping by police law that would be far more likely

second pretty much _every_ country has laws which require carriers to help them wiretap in case of an investigation with appropriate court orders

thirdly even if it went through Hetzner/Linode instead of carriers it wasn't done "a move from them" but something they where legally binding ordered to silently tolerate

lastly if as unlikely as it seems it was not lawful interception of police or similar then they (or a carrier) would have been hacked, i.e. there is absolutely no chance that server providers will do such an attack on their own violation, especially Hetzner (they also don't have the legal means to get the necessary certificates)
Private insurers don't run our health care system; provider networks do. When you include fee/service ratios for younger cohorts in the Medicare math, the administrative overhead numbers look a lot less compelling; more importantly, you can zero out administrative overhead from insurers and still only get a grocery store discount on services. The immediate problem with American health care is that providers charge too much for services, and secondarily that Americans access too many services.

It's also important to remember --- though I don't think it changes any of the fundamentals of the issue --- that the ordinary "retail" care that we access on a year by year basis, including short hospital stays, isn't where all the cost in the system is.

But that's a bad thing - because once your employment tied healthcare abruptly ends, you scramble to get something to restore it.

Unless someone has more details, "Subcritical" is being generous:

Wednesday's test used chemicals and radioisotopes to "validate new predictive explosion models" that can help detect atomic blasts in other countries, Bloomberg reported, citing the Department of Energy.

Conventional explosives, some radioactive tracers mixed in, and see what can be detected above ground? To improve understanding of how an actual nuclear blast elsewhere may be detected? (say, apart from seismic data or other sources). Or something like that.

In short: not a nuclear blast in any way, shape or form. Fox title is clickbait fluff.

Neat post. It bent my mind in surprising ways. I guess I take the "permanent" structures as scripture and it would not occur to me to break through a wall, literally, when a situation would require it.

At the same time, this is exactly what I practice, and expect my teams to practice, when we build software. Each one of us has certain analogous "walls" in our minds, which define the way we can move when looking for solutions. Often, they're arbitrary and can be bypassed with relative ease - no blasting required. All we have to do is to realize that we can. It's a fun moment when we realize this and get outsized outcomes just because we step right through a preconceived and arbitrary limit which no one actually imposed.

So very Matrix.
I don't know how respected US police currently are, but they definitely lead to escalation of violence. I doubt dorky uniforms would make it worse.
As presented, this one is quite dangerous because it's easy to miss the variable assignment.

File.read('data.txt')
.split("\n")
.map { |ln| some_processing(ln) }
.select { |ln| some_filter(ln) }
.and_so_on => result

I never knew this type of assignment was possible in Ruby, but I will use it if the => var can follow on the next line. A quick test (in 3.1) suggests that it only works with an explicit line continuation:

File.read('data.txt')
.split("\n") \
=> result

...which makes it less appealing. I'll have to try it for a bit to see if I prefer it over the normal `result =` assignment syntax.

The second caveat is that you should probably get a lawyer if anyone from law enforcement wants to talk to you in any way that is more complicated than a speeding ticket.

Similarly, don't sign any papers or agree to anything without a lawyer present. You aren't smarter than the people whose job it is (on paper) to enforce the law (even if in practice, many police officers in the US don't seem to know or care to enforce it). Things you might be able to "coax" out of an individual officer get thrown in the bin anyway and your statements will be read in the worst possible light if given half the chance.

Your lawyer is paid to understand the law (and if they're any good, they'll do what they can to protect you).

That advice goes double if it's any three letter agency.
How about employing actual people for them to talk to, as that's the interface they're comfortable with.

"We could help our users if only they would totally change their behavior" isn't a path to success.

Get some folks out into your target user's pockets for a couple weeks. You'll gain some understanding of why they need a low attention interface; they have other plates in the air which are far more urgent on a meat level, all the time.

Even when they're relaxed and not working, the imperatives of the workday leave that mark.

> And of course nothing calms an abuser down like being set loose without a proper conviction, now with the ire of being dispossessed perhaps rightly of children and home.

Absolutely, some murders do seem to be triggered by protection orders. Presumably those cases would also occur when they are charged with a crime with cooperation from the victim. Are we going to instead consider pretrial detention for all cases of accused DV? And wouldn't that have all of the same issues with a lower standard of evidence but infringe even more on their rights?

Edit: I should clarify, when charges are filed we should consider pretrial detention. Unfortunately there are tons of reasons why DV victims often end up not wanting to press charges, or when someone is charged, not wanting to cooperate with prosecutors. Creating a situation where their only avenue for safety is pressing charges and cooperating with authorities creates its own set of issues and I feel they still deserve some level of safety even if they don't cooperate with criminal charges.

Not because the security wasn't safe, but because they held too much of it at an unprofitable rate, and effectively illiquid because of its maturity date.

The likely reason you see banks offering high interest CDs, is because it facilitates them slowly rolling over their long term bond portfolios by attracting CD investment. Especially if they are beating the 1 yr treasury rate, they are losing money to lose less than they would rolling over their bonds.

An unfortunate thing for the banks is that CDs aren't as attractive as they were in the past because technology (ETFs, internet brokers) have made treasuries more accessible
This is the nicest solution I've seen so far.

I believe that for the operation of randomly sampling a single row, only the consecutiveness invariant is needed. The random permutation invariant is unnecessary, because the choice from the range (1, N+1) is random anyway.

However, I can imagine the random permutation invariant being useful for other operations (although I can't immediately think of one).

EDIT: the random permutation invariant could maybe be useful for a list that can be displayed to the user. I can imagine some cases where it is nice to have an order that doesn't change a lot while you don't want it to depend on any property in particular (like the order in which the rows were added).
Thanks for replying in length and with sincerity. I'm not going to address everything in your comment not because it isn't worthy of a response but because I personally don't have a response that is substantive and thoughtful. If anyone else wants to reply they're welcome to. In any case I'm not a spokesperson for my country. I'll say two things:

0. "Human animals" bothers me - I disapprove of the extreme language I'm hearing in public discourse in Israel these days, after the events of Oct 7 there's been a shift in public discourse that normalizes this kind of language. I think it's wrong and harmful. I wish it would stop.

1. If you or anyone close to you is currently in Gaza (or the West Bank, or Israel, for that matter) - I truly hope they will be safe and come out the other end of this war ok, or as ok as is possible given the circumstances. From what I'm hearing on the news here in Israel, sounds like things are going to get worse before they get better. All I can do is hope that we see better days soon.
> It's fine if you do not think high EMF readings are unhealthy in any way

Its fine because that's what's been shown to be completely true. Standing next to an AC motor for a few hours is not going to have any negative effects on your health, other than getting your hand caught in the motor.

Don't get me wrong I'm not about to stand next to an antenna radiating a lot of energy (I do ham radio stuff), I don't want to get burned. RF burns are no joke. But the EV isn't giving off nearly as much energy. I also wouldn't put my hand in a microwave oven and turn it on, but the levels outside the box when closed aren't powerful enough to do any damage unless you've broken your microwave.

> But you obviously know UV from the sun is not the same as EM radiation emitted from a microwave or an EV

Yeah, its actually ionizing, so its massively worse than what I'm getting from my car.

> Fun fact: EMF from EVs is so high it interferes with AM radio, which is why AM radio does not exist in any EVs.

Fun fact: I own an EV, and it has an AM radio. So you're just factually incorrect saying "does not exist in any EVs." I wonder what else you might also be wrong about. Its not the best quality AM radio I've owned, but it works.
