Lydia Fairchild was told that her two children were not a genetic match with her and that therefore, biologically, she could not be their mother. The state accused Fairchild of fraud and filed a lawsuit against her. Researchers later determined that the genetic mismatch was due to chimerism.

This is not a non-story.

What would be considered normal is if the police kindly requests the footage and the citizen, that is otherwise unrelated to the case, has the option to refuse or cooperate.

What also would be normal is if the police requested a judge to order someone to hand over the footage. That way a judicial officer has tested and weighed the legality and legal interests before forcing, again, a citizen that otherwise has no relation to the case.

In common law systems this is what is called a subpoena and considered part of discovery, in civil law systems there’s no term for this because there’s no formal discovery process and these kinds of things are decided on a very limited case by case basis.

Before 2018 it was the case that a prosecutor would have to make the demand and effectuate seizure.
This is still not ideal because it is without judicial oversight, but at least it was a (semi-)officer of the court and someone with proper legal training.

The Dutch however decided that since 2018 the police could do this themselves. Which is decidedly not ok.

Especially because refusal directly leads to criminal penalties, that are hard to fight against because the penalties are directly linked to the refusal, not to the legitimacy of the seizure.

Similar to how in the US you can be arrested for resisting arrest, even if there’s no sufficient legal foundation for the underlying arrest that you “resisted”.

It creates a self-fulfilling criminal act with little to no judicial oversight. This it’s an erosion of rights, an increase of the police state and definitely warrants a story.

Moreover, the clear goals of the article linked on HM as well as the underlying Dutch source article is to inform people who have these cameras that there are potential risks on having these cameras, risks that most don’t know about. Again, a worthwhile reason to report on this.

Wrong. First Yemen IS signatory since 1987 (or 1989 if you consider North Yemen). Second, the convention gives responsibilities beyond borders for members, and explicitly puts responsibility to act upon signatory States. And third, there are plenty previous cases that opened precedence that a country can act even before any approval from UN (US bombed Yugoslavia arguing this), and there is also precedence of blockades enforced by a single country despite the lack of approval (and despite disavowal) from UN (US blocking Cuba and Venezuela).

> I think it is perfectly valid for a country to protect its own citizen from being burned alive among many other atrocities that were committed, which is also one of the reasons the genocide convention was created in the first place.

Also wrong. The genocide convention was created to prevent genocide. There is nothing in the convention mentioning that you should not act if the victims are from other countries. On the contrary, the convention says that you must act to prevent and has an extraterritorial scope (as was established in a previous judgement in UN).

How exactly killing children, reporters, women and people holding white flags, attacking UN shelters, as well as destroying hospitals and universities prevent more October 7 attacks!? In fact, it will create more attacks because of the anger from an oppressed people. Which was the cause of October 7 attacks, by the way. Sorry, declaring war is not a free pass to commit war crimes. If the war crimes are frequent, and they are not opposed (or if they are encouraged), this is a serious evidence of genocide.

It honestly makes no sense why non-tesla charge managers care so little about their stations.

It costs a LOT of money to install a L3 charger (Last I saw, something like $500,000). So having it go offline for a significant amount of time is a fairly big loss. And, what's completely frustrating, is the parts that are breaking/being vandalized aren't the $500,000 inverters, it's the screen, cable, or card reader. $100 parts. (Maybe more like $500 for the cable).

The only thing I can think of is there's simply a skill shortage and these companies aren't willing to pay for enough employees to maintain their stations. You need to be an electrician to work with these stations and it may be that these companies don't want to pay for the amount of electricians they need.

Wouldn't that be nice in some applications?
Absolutely, and you can clearly see that there are other providers with better incentives. I live in SoCal and drive an EV. I don’t even bother with EA chargers, but the EVGo stations around me are extremely reliable and plentiful.
I don't have an EV yet but I wonder how practical it will be to charge at gas stations. Where I live, gas stations usually aren't in areas where there's much else to do even for 15 minutes. Sure there is usually a store but even if I needed a few things, how long would that keep me busy, 5 minutes? And if that's the case, how profitable would that be?

Given how long it takes to charge and how limited space is, I wonder if it'd make much more sense to place a large number of chargers in places where people spend time i.e. park for >30 minutes, nowadays anyway. Shopping centers, grocery stores, movie theatres, business parks, etc.

Edit: Thanks all for sharing your experiences
It's surprising they don't already look like fancy gas stations, considering the owner of the charging station has a captive audience for half an hour.

I'd expect a lot of food options, video gambling, etc. It's crazy that right now there aren't even vending machines by the charging stations!
The KC-46 shitshow was what I was thinking of.
Imagine correspondingly that you could put a box in your house that pumped gas into your car at the rate of 1 gallon per hour. That's what electric cars owners do.

> I am somewhat surprised that gas stations didn't jump on EV chargers immediately, since charging takes a while and those customers might be more likely to make other purchases while waiting

At least in this part of Europe, there is simply not enough space at most gas stations for any significant proportion of vehicles to spend more than five minutes there.
Power.org [1] was a fairly serious initiative to push Power for consoles and the like at one point.

Personally I prefer fast charging stations at gas stations. They have all the infrastructure you need for cars and road trips (food, toilets, wiper fluid, equipment for cleaning the windshield, checking tyre pressure, roofs, ...). And they are usually easy to find and to reach.
This is a dumb question: could we not make an ML debugger out of ML?

It seems ML, or at least model training and fine tuning, is all about pattern recognition.

Could the same thing not be done where a model is trained on ML algos running correctly vs. not and it performs the pattern recognition (i.e. intuition) to find the root cause?
Battling Rising Healthcare Costs with Tech
It is indeed both, they're not mutually exclusive. electric cars also increase quality of life for everybody having to suffer the cars in their neighborhoods. They're much more quiet and don't pollute the local environment. Charging stations are also not nearly as trashy as a gas station.
But that's my point you have a right to look out from your property and observe what you see. If you glance out your window and see a stabbing in someone else's property or a theft you can be called to testify. You can be compelled.

What next? Anyone with a cochlear implant can't use the phone because it's a recording device?

A camera is an extension of our eyes. If we have a right to look out from our property and observe so do the cameras.

It's not nice but this is clearly a situation where two competing and important rights coincide and conflict.

Is your implication that the problem is that v8 is written in c++? I can’t find the details for the vulnerability and while it may be possible this is the problem the exploit could live in the JIT itself (that’s common for vulnerabilities within v8 itself since v8 has a very thin runtime). We don’t have any memory safe techniques for the output of JITs (or compilers by the way) - even if it were written in Rust or Java it’s possible the vast majority of security exploits in this space would still exist.

> I find myself battling untyped/undocumented YAML/JSON configurations, syncing JSON encoders/decoders, massaging incompatible dependencies

I feel your pain on having to manage so many dependencies. I write primarily in Python, and the various pip / Pipenv / pipx / PDM / Poetry dependency managers drive me pretty crazy. That's not even accounting for the multiple Python versions I need!

That said, I'm surprised that you're trying to _alleviate_ this by implementing your FP language in Python. The Python ecosystem is full of half-documented config files, incompatible dependency trees, etc.

Have you considered implementing it in any other languages after the Python one proves its worth? For example, if the language becomes strong enough, would you consider writing a scrapscript compiler in scrapscript, itself?

But for a lot of the items, the only sellers are official.

Look at the Apple Lightning cable, a typical fake product, here in the UK the only place you can get it from is amazon or amazon warehouse, so what products are there to get mixed up? Again, this seems to be more of an Amazon US issue, the reddit post you linked yet again just uses US sources.

I've not experienced this with Amazon, even when buying highly faked items, items that i have purchased from ebay however have been clearly fake. Sure I could have missed a fake product or two, but i've not been obviously scammed where it matters, but on ebay this has happened pretty much every time I buy a highly counterfeited product.
I'm sure it'll happen eventually. Regulation lags I suppose, and mainstream uptake is still small for now.

Sure, but due to its nature the aircraft industry for commerical planes isn't really a free market.

Obviously, Boeing and Airbus represent a duopoly. When you factor in one of them is US-based and is relied upon to deliver on certain national security projects, defense etc no politician is going to let the commercial arm fail and risk the national security arm failing too.

Also there is a lag in the system around failure. The market could decide that Boeing planes are poorly constructed, but how many accidents and deaths would have to happen in order for customer (airlines) to decide to no longer put in orders. That's not really feasible.

"Too big to fail"
I think this stance can be better known as the mentality of a psychopath no?

> "taxing kerosine on international flights", "charge VAT for flights"

This is problematic. The more you tax flying, the more you make it only a rich person's activity.

Why only international flights? Domestic flights produce about the same amount of emissions, and are easier to substitute with something else, e.g. train journeys.

The other problem with aviation is that we don't have any tech that can really replace it, whereas we have the tech now to replace most other sources of emissions. My view is that if we can get all the sources of emissions down, then we can probably live with the 2% or so of emissions from aviation until we have the tech to replace it.

> or even "removing all subsidies for beef and pork production in the EU"

This is something I'd support. Reducing red meat consumption would likely improve health, the environment, animal welfare, and other things as well as reducing emissions. However, very difficult to achieve politically.

> But let's not pretend we are doing anything to save our (ability to live on) the planet here.

We need a multi-pronged approach to simultaneously reduce emissions on all fronts. We can't just ignore 2% of global emissions if we're serious about tackling the problem.
Sorry, man, just my personal reaction. I'm with you on Levar Burton and Bob Ross though.

It's a mixture of different problems.

L2 charging is pretty simple -- connect to existing AC grid, let people charge slowly. Needs to be everywhere (light poles) and needs to be robust and inexpensive.

L3 charging is hideously complex -- you're dumping 5-10 single families of power into a cord, outside in the driving rain. You're getting billed as a commercial utility consumer where you're charged at your 95th percentile current draw for any given month, and you're paying commercial power rates. People will get mad if you vaporize their husband or hurt their car.

But -- Tesla seems to have done L2 and L3 at scale. Other companies such as electrify america seem to be examples of malicious compliance or, at best, absolute incompetence.
