Because like every service-oriented offering, each platform differentiates as hard as it can to lock you in to their way of doing things.

Things largely look the same on the surface; this takes the most effect at the implementation-detail level, where adjusting and countercorrecting down the track is fiddly and uses an adrenally-draining level of attention span - right when you're at the point where you're scaling and you no longer have the time to deal with implementation detail level stuff.

You're on <platform> and you're doing things their way and pivoting the architecture will only be prioritised if the alternative would be bankruptcy.

> The channel stated that it would continue offering “swats” for as little as $40, and offered returning customers a discounted rate. It also posted derogatory photographs and text about Mr Tomlinson — noting that there would be no charge for requested swats against him.

> “And of course swats to Patrick… are free,” read the Telegram message.
Heh.
I wonder if it is still tradition in universities to assign quirky network names to their machines? Would anyone even notice these days, as these names are way less prominently displayed these days?

They greybeards who came before me used names from the lore of LotR. I used house names from A Song of Ice and Fire (better known as the early 2000s tv series Game of Thrones, though the first book was released in the 90s). The youngsters after me used Pokémon names.

Greenaway-McGrevy (2023) showed an increased supply of housing in Auckland reduced rents in 3-bedroom homes by 26-33% below a control.

Mense (2023) showed a 1% yearly increase in housing supply in Germany results in an average local municipality rent to fall by 0.2%.

Asquith et al. (2023) found in NYC, the average new building lowers nearby rents within 250 meters of the new building by 5% to 7% relative to the trend rent growth otherwise would have followed.

Li (2022), looked at new market rate buildings of 7+ stories and found that for every 10% increase to the housing stock that new high rises add within a 500-ft ring, residential rents for the buildings within that ring decrease by 1 percent.

Pennington (2021) found rents within 500 meters of a new project fell by 1.2 to 2.3% in San Francisco.
I think this is explicitly addressed at the start. The question is not one of if certain cases should be prosecuted or if there should be certain rules that supersede the "vehicle in park" rule. The question is of the fact that the statement "no vehicles in the park" is violated or not. An ambulance is allowed to violate the rule, but it is still strictly speaking violating the rule.
I work in academia and Microsoft Azure doesn’t bill us egress up to 15% of the total bill [0].

Sending in a swat team without any kind of in person validation is pretty insane anyway IMO.

I've never heard of this happening in Europe in the counties I've lived. They have such teams but they're only sent in after a serious hostage situation is confirmed by cops on the scene. They don't just go around busting down doors because some anonymous caller says so.

I wonder how many of these situations in the US are legit and actually needed such a response.
You might need to be more specific with your question. On the one hand uou have gross margin, on the other net. They might be very different.

For example Uber is almost certainly a negative net margin (although I haven't paid a lot of recent attention. Ditto Twitter. )

On the other hand businesses can have a low gross margin, but still be profitable.

From a business point of view "margin" is a useful measurement, but be careful oc optimising for margin. (I know one business that would decline jobs if they reduced average margin, in spite of them improving profitability. )
Thoroughly agree with the guide except for the whole section 3 on taking notes. You should have read and taken notes on the material before attending the class, and you should use the class to listen, validate learning, and ask questions, instead of trying to record the whole thing. But yes, do take notes about the things you didn’t see in the textbook, or mentally flag them—and I do agree that you shouldn’t obsess on it being neat.

I refuse to believe that anyone woild damn them with a headline of “smae parson was found to be doing nothing wrong 3 times earlier on the same day. So the forth time only a small friendly team was sent initially after which a full swat team was sent when they discovers it was real”

No one in their right mind would be like “why didn’t they go in with force for the forth time that day!?
I’d bet serious money on yes. Amazon and Starbucks are incredibly anti-union. Unions scare them—unions mean shareholders and execs would be forced to share more profits with their workers. (The horror!)

Just one example: Even though workers have won unions at Amazon and Starbucks shops, the companies are plain refusing to negotiate contracts with them as is right.
Payphone. Burner phone. Just grabbing someone's phone on the street.. Always plenty of ways.

Here in Europe you can call 112 even without a SIM card. This is done because during a crash etc the SIM card may get dislodged.
That's not required. If the telcos implement STIR/SHAKEN as it's been described, then a "swat" call can later (by investigators) be traced back to a human being who can be prosecuted and jailed. That will serve as sufficient deterrent in most cases.

> Why is scientific writing being judged by the writing style / etc. vs the power and novelty of the ideas it contains?

It's not solely being judged on the basis of the writing style, and the author alludes to this in the first paragraph: "I have just been accused of scientific fraud. Not data fraud — no one accused me of fabricating or misleadingly manipulating data or results. This, I suppose, is a relief".

I think there is an art to communicating complex ideas clearly, and some people value that ability, and don't like having their rhetorical ability discredited. There are certain scientists who I appreciate almost as much for their ability to communicate science to the public as I do for their ability to conduct scientific research. Richard Feynman for example had an uncanny ability to convey scientific concepts.

I'd love to see the stats on real vs. fake reports on 911 vs. the local line, because it sounds dumb as hell to respond with SWAT to the local line.

Anyway, yeah, like the other commenter mentioned, treat the local police lines the same.

Actually, treat all calls to any number the same. Carriers should be required to understand provenance for every single call. All nuisance calls get fines or jail time. If the carrier cannot locate a responsible party, the carrier themselves are liable.

But sure, you're right and everyone else is wrong.

I wonder if you consider an "ultrawide" to be one monitor?

My dream actually is to have one monitor. A single 65" curved 8k screen, sectioned off into about 8 different virtual screens. It's not really about how many screens you have, it's about how many pixels and viewable surface area (screen real estate). I stopped counting my setup in "screens" years ago and count it in megapixels for a long time now. Right now I have 24 million pixels across a 55" area. It's pretty fantastic. I think big, and do big things. I don't know what you do, but you're doing it - according to research - 42% slower than you could be.
Events like this emperor's pardon, in the end, may have led to the fall of the russian czarist regime. If I'm not mistaken, Lenin himself, and even Stalin, were exiled instead of being executed.

Tomlinson is a compulsive liar. He has been SWATed, he does have insane and cruel stalkers, but he was not SWATed 47 times. He lies about this because he gets instant media attention.

He attempted to hire Torswats on himself, who provided receipts proving the attempt. When confronted, rather than denying it, he said a forum had cloned his SIM card, in a way that was not possible.

Tomlinson is extremely litigious and has threatened to sue people who have brought this to light.

I agree that weighted keys are preferable, but it's not about "building finger strength," but rather about building finger coordination. Your fingers are already plenty strong enough for weighted keys (especially once you learn how to take advantage of gravity in your technique).

But weighted keys are crucial for building coordination. The resistance of the keys helps you calibrate the connection between your touch and the sound produced. You want both kinesthetic and aural feedback.
Online surveys are not valid research tool anyway, because of heavy selection bias.

That’s just because our neighbourhood is so boring in comparison to Earth.

Imagine that by some chance Mars was another Earth with a breathable atmosphere. NASA would have been given a trillion dollar budget and we would have been there in the 80s. Instead it’s a dead red rock so NASA gets a small budget and the US spends its money on blowing people up instead.

We have the technology to be a spacefaring civilisation but we won’t care until Earth becomes a worse place to be than the rest of the solar system, which is probably never given how bad the other bodies in the solar system are. Most likely we develop Von Neumann probes before we ever get bored of Earth.

As a “old person” (not a boomer, before you “OK, Boomer” me) I deal with folks like you in the workplace every day. I have to listen to “oh you are too old to understand”, and “you are just too old to change” regularly told to all colleagues over 50.

> On the other hand maybe the exploit is to swat some place twice then you can attack the residence for real to avoid the heat

If you actually want to attack a residence and kill everyone in it, the police aren't going to stop you. They'll arrive long after the fact.

And if you wanted to get away with it, calling three prank SWAT calls in first is hardly going to improve the odds of it.
That itself would be quite interesting though, because based on what we know now it's merely difficult, not impossible with reasonably foreseeable technological improvements.

The dynamics which would make it impossible on any known timespan don't seem currently observable.
