Do you really think any proper investigation can be completed in the time it took them to close this?

For the record, that time was 40 seconds from the time they arrived at the scene. They couldn't even have had the firearm ownership information by that point.

The parents also found blood spatter where it shouldn't have been if it were a suicide, and signs of a struggle in the bathroom.

There needs to be a proper investigation. The duty of care has not been met.
Not really, considering the origins of ContentID. It's just the same story over again. Google/YouTube didn't really want to build ContentID. It was a concession as a result of lawsuits from Viacom (and others) from the early days of YouTube, where they were about to be sued out of existence for having a platform, which at the time, was filled with blatantly pirated content.
Games happen to be software, that hundreds of millions use, especially younger tech-oriented people. So yes, it IS essential if you want to make a PC people will use.

These sustained aggressive and systematic attacks by China demand a serious response, including massive financial and even kinetic responses.

Allowing it to happen with mere protests of concern is allowing it to happen.

I get not wanting to escalate, but lack of response only invites greater escalation. The cost of stopping this only increases with each round of attacks.
Best stable ABI for linux :/ (somehow win32 is indeed best stable runtime for linux)
In that, Tolkien was casually following traditional European usage, e.g. the "German race" versus the "English race", which didn't clearly distinguish between genetics and culture. I can appreciate the desire to get away from using "race", since it is such a loaded term. The problem with using "species", though, is that it already has a well-defined meaning incompatible with "race". In the end, I expect that convenience will win out over precision.
I don't think it's dumb, it makes sense to label something that would otherwise intuitively have gluten (like bread) with a gluten free label. It also lets someone who depends on it not containing gluten (or otherwise suffer potentially serious consequences) be confident that someone has checked over the whole manufacturing process to confirm it.
As an internal employee I never saw anything but a perfunctory “ally” programs and a bunch of talk about “diversity” and of course we had to watch the videos and use language that didn’t offend anyone.

FWIW: I’m Black and I found some of the things that were suppose to trigger me or some of the “green washing” that were suppose to give me a warm and fuzzy eye rolling.

To be clear, I had a customer facing role (AWS Professional Services). Amazon wasn’t about to send anyone incompetent to talk to their large clients I don’t care what kind of initiatives they had.

> I don't understand how streaming services with huge budgets are so constantly bad when it comes to writing

Because when there's a lot of money involved, writing is generally done by committee. We only see the writer(s) who get the writing credit but not the process. Studio execs, producers, etc will impose their opinions/ideas on the script.

Smaller projects can afford to take risks but with huge projects there's a lot more pressure to not fail.

Ironically, this usually results in a worse product...

Docling: Get your documents ready for gen AI
My concern is with the actual JS SDK API. They shifted from a dirt-simple, chained methods API to a setup where you have to create class instances for everything (including creating config). To make it possible, they also had to shift to a naming scheme for each class that just makes the code unnecessarily clunky.

E.g., it used to look like this:

// This was callback-based but could have easily been wrapped with promises.

s3.putObject({ option: 'blah' }, () => {});

Now it looks like this:

import { S3Client, PutObjectCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-s3";

const client = new S3Client({ option: 'blah' });

const command = new PutObjectCommand({ option: 'blah' });

const response = await client.send(command);

---

It's improved now, but when this first dropped for 6-12 months the docs were just TypeScript auto-generated docs that were a nightmare to decipher (and a lot of stuff didn't even have examples, so you had to guess).

As for a "why this approach," it looks like they were trying to reduce the footprint of the SDK as a whole by breaking it into individual packages (smart) but instead of just keeping a simple API, they added all of this extra class instantiation and a funky client.send() pattern.

The ideal would be something simple like this:

import s3 from '@aws/s3';

await s3.putObject({
bucket: 'my-bucket',
body: '<Some Binary>',
key: 'my_file.jpg',
});

Or even better:

import s3 from '@aws/s3';

await s3.buckets.post({
name: 'my-bucket',
region: 'us-east-2',
});

await s3.objects.put({
bucket: 'my-bucket',
body: '<Some Binary>',
key: 'my_file.jpg',
});

Why I prefer the above: it's predictable and obvious. You have a structure of <library>.<resource>.<method> which can cleanly map to HTTP methods/API endpoints. You could even (easily) have aliases for methods like s3.buckets.create() or s3.objects.upload() that just map to the canonical function.
It seems that this is a property of TPM 1.2.

Complaint Against Dave Inc. and CEO Jason Wilk Alleging Deceptive Practices
i spent a few minutes looking into it again, and remembered what i really found frustrating - it's all a weird mix of JSON, and byte arrays. some functions want json, and some functions want json encoded as a byte array. and some of the items in the json structure are supposed to be byte arrays?

it seems like they've gone out of their way to make it purposefully difficult to communicate between the client and the server. there's client examples to follow, and server examples to follow, but getting something between the two of them is a mystery. json doesn't have a byte array type, so making an api that depends on byte arrays in json seems needlessly obtuse. it's a standard that doesn't work without client-server communication, and it hasn't bothered to define a client-server communication method or use a datatype that can be natively communicated to the server?
I read the original reply as "how can extra 2k change your habits or expectations", your interpretation seems to be "how can extra 2k make a difference".

Only the author can detail on what he really means, but do you think the extra 2k would significantly influence the people's behavior on the medium / long term (I do agree that for many it can have a significant impact on the short term and really help them) ?
Laws for thee but not for me
As I understand it, SCTP is still a TCP-like stream protocol with sender-driven congestion control (using packet drops or ECN as a signal) and multipathing to deal with in-network congestion, while HOMA is aimed at fast RPC (1 packet request, 1 packet response) for short messages and has receiver-driven congestion control to deal with incast congestion at the receiver.

SCTP still has TCP-like slow start and other things that HOMA seeks to avoid.
Everyone I know is happy with linux and do not complain at all, instead prefer it over other systems. Me, using linux professionally for the last 15 years I'm just so so happy that system like this exists. Maybe I've been lucky but I've never had permanent problems with it with my last four computers, three of them being notebooks, one desktop. Nothing gets in my way, nothing breaks, I'm more productive than I'd ever be in any other system.

The Royal Astronomical Society's piece [1] on this study mentioned,

"The model suggests that a clock in the Milky Way would be about 35 per cent slower than the same one at an average position in large cosmic voids, meaning billions more years would have passed in voids."

If the gases pulled in toward a black hole were experiencing only tens-of-millions-of-years of time during a full billion years (as compared with the billion that elapsed on a clock experiencing a lower-gravity "universal average" condition of gravitation and of time), then does that mean...

that those magnetic fields and gases must emit to us any greater or smaller intensity of radiation vs. the amount that they would emit if they had been rubbing together within our own rate of time?

What's super interesting along this line of thought are the events that happened in Flint, Michigan circa 2014 when the local government (who were unelected emergency managers) decided to switch the water source of Flint. This water reacted with the lead pipes causing lead levels to spike in the water supply.

It's not the outsized risk of lead levels people are necessarily worried about. It's the outsized risk of some health risk that gets covered up, lied about, or dismissed by those in charge. There appears to be a high correlation between nuclear accidents and government and political coverups.
> that won't collide with other bottles

You can generate these trivially. If that bottle id is 100, next would be 101. With 128 bit numbers it's unlikely anyone ever guess an id without seeing it. Less bits - more collisions. Maybe some other number of bits will work

Regarding signature - offline verification, simple self-sustained checker can confirm that bottle is indeed valid one (can't count refills globally though)

Tolkien never gave a comprehensive explanation for his position, but Robert Stuart in his Tolkien, Race, and Racism in Middle-earth (2022) argues that Tolkien consistently assumed that all the flesh-and-blood humanoids in Middle-earth were interbreedable.
Any platform can wipe your account without notice, and so far as I'm aware, without meaningful legal recourse. Your only assurance against this is regular backups. There are tools you can use to automatically mirror your Mastodon / Fediverse accounts locally, as well as in-app content extraction tools.

Content migration isn't implemented yet, and as someone who's migrated a few times more than I can remember (three or four, possibly more), that's a bit of a PITA. But it is on the roadmap, and account migration in general has become far cleaner over the years, see note at bottom of:

<https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/how-to-migrate-from-on...>

I've been on the Fediverse since 2016, and in the several times I've migrated things have become far smoother.

At present you can migrate your followers, following, and blocked accounts:

<https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/>

Note that there are few if any proprietary / commercial services which afford anything remotely close to what Mastodon does, though blogging platforms probably permit import/export of content to a greater degree.
This was not claimed. All that was stated is that its a new thing we know very little about, links to autoimmune disease have no immediate obvious connection, and to say anything more would require an investigation. What more can you expect?
The main reason why Linux on the desktop has never gone mainstream is that it is extremely difficult to find a good laptop that comes with Linux preinstalled, where the OEM is responsible for ensuring a seamless experience, as any bugs in WiFi, audio, drivers, peripherals, etc. is the OEM's responsibility, not the consumer's.

99% of computer users will never consider replacing the operating system that came installed on their system, they don't want to risk bricking it or losing data.

My app: Kotlin, Ktor, Exposed
Databases:
- Production/Dev: Postgresql
- Test suite/CI: SQLite
Performance:
- ~1000 tests
- ~5 seonds

For testing anything below the ktor layer, I create and roll back transactions for everything, including db table creation (though I should probably fix that, just bigger fish to fry in this project)

For the SQLite / PostgreSQL differences that Exposed doesn't naturally handle, namely jsonb, during the CREATE TABLE phase, I have my test harness create a regular json version of the table rather than a jsonb one. Exposed's ORM seemlessly handles that swap out after table creation. There's a bit of manual upkeep in making sure the *Json test version of the tables are kept up-to-date to the production non-Json version; but that's the sort of thing that's caught on the very first test and fixed in minutes, most of the time (sometimes cascading table creation bites me).

I will eventually probably add a flag or something so the test suite can run against a separate testing partition in my PostgreSQL docker container, but I haven't done that yet.
Thanks -- can you please elaborate on the specifics of the "signs of struggle" and "blood spatter", as claimed by the family?

Seems like they have as many or more here in the states, at least where I am. I see some stats that it's about 20 patients a day. I almost always end up at urgent care because they don't have enough availability at the primary in my area. The urgent care isn't covered by my insurance because they say there's enough covered providers in the area already. When I have a fever of 103F for 5 days and think it's time to investigate antibiotics, I want an appointment within 24 hours, not 5 business days from now. It seems the insurance payout and keeping the schedule booked solid drive the (under)staffing in my areas. Although it hasn't been like this in other areas I've been in, but that's more than 10 years ago now.

Edit: my biggest source of stability issues are Nvidia drivers mis-matched from kernel. Takes a whole reboot to fix.

Unlike with cryptography, there is no rigorous notion of physical security. Doors, locks and even security systems can all be overcome with sufficient effort, skill and resources. They work because physical attacks require proximity and are very hard to keep anonymous. I seriously doubt that any TPM implementation would last a week against government funded researchers with state of the art technology, but that doesn't mean the TPM is useless.
I think that the combination of carbon emissions and physical waste from reusing a plastic bottle 25 times and then recycling it are still likely to be lower than producing a glass bottle and hoping it gets recycled.
I think public domain is a much more universal concept, as the state to which works revert to after copyright expires. What's more US-centric is the idea of deliberately placing a work into public domain prematurely.
I don’t know what you mean “influence people’s behavior” which implies you think that people who are in this situation are there because of behavioral issues, which I fundamentally disagree with and see no evidence for. I also provided personal examples and could provide many more where this amount was life changing in the long term. To me it’s silly to call this “short term help” when short term problems can cause a massive irrecoverable collapse of a financially vulnerable person’s life in a very short amount of time.

Exactly.

Another upside I've run into while doing things this way is that it gets me out of being relational database-brained. Sometimes, you really do not need the full-blown relational data model when a big blob of JSON will work just fine.
I wish there was a version of this for proportional fonts as well. I never use monospace fonts for coding anymore if I can avoid it, but I'm still in search of the “perfect” proportional coding font.
Some of these features makes it harder to (physically) probe the internal parts of the chip and read out secret values:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_cryptoprocessor#Feature...

These things make it harder to break into the internals of the chip regardless of they being kept secret, so I wouldn't call it security by obscurity. I'm not even sure you can apply that principle to physical security.
So where should we put nuclear reactors then? Should we put a new California nuclear reactor in downtown San Francisco or Los Angeles? If nuclear proponents are saying nuclear technology is safe, then it shouldn't matter where we put it. It's just an education issue, right?

The problem is, that nobody really trusts nuclear, or more specifically nobody really trusts corporations with nuclear power. I will point out there's a high correlation between a given nuclear accident and a coverup of that nuclear accident.
> Referring to residents as "housed residents", as if homeless people should be considered "residents" in neighborhoods they have no business being in, in the first place.

Well, why not? Are they residents of anywhere? If not, do you see how easily that slides into not needing to provide services for them? Not considering them deserving of anything, in fact?

We mostly get this, in most articles and conversations on this subject. Read nearly any article about it and count quotes by homeless people vs anyone else. Try it in this comment section.

When I see a homeless person I think god what has been done to them. Not look what they are doing to me.
The relevant Carter quote is

"… even if Hamas does not soon take the ultimately inevitable steps of renouncing violence and recognizing Israel’s right to exist."

Why? It means you'll only get one shot at the attack, but nothing here is intrinsically prevented by using a TPM PIN (or even a non-TPM password, the attack doesn't depend on TPM-based Bitlocker in any way other than if the target machine is powered off or your first attempt fails)
