I think the people making those arguments are suggesting not that the murder that Luigi Mangione committed was is right, but that it was good. It is not right by the laws of our nation; it is illegal because it is not right. It is the government's function to investigate and prosecute that crime. The overwhelming popular support for Luigi suggests that there is a collectively-recognized significant justification for the crime. Like Ken McElroy, the town bully who was murdered in 1981, in broad daylight in the town square, by bullets coming in from different angles, and nobody saw a thing.

Hitler was well on his rise to power by 1930. None of us can know who the next Hitler is. We are all familiar with Ray Bradbury and Back to the Future, which told us about how you cannot really know the future or bend it to your will. Furthermore, vigilantism is against the law, and the justice system of the government also has the job of preventing violent uprisings for various and good reasons.

The collective feeling that everybody, and I mean everybody displays, and is clearly being censored on media, is that there is a weighing of the collective morality of the situation which does not add up. This young man has been charged with a multitude of crimes. He has been charged with terrorism. Like, I went to school for international law, and I am going back to my resources, looking at the definitions, and trying to figure out how that fits. To me, a terrorist is somebody who plotted or crashed the planes into the towers. The idea that Mangione's victim, through the decisions of the company, might have caused millions of unnecessary deaths, when there could have been different paths taken, it is an leap, but it is not abstraction that is out of the grasp of many persons who have faced the medical system, specifically with treatment denial letters, on an individual level. By the way, that school that I attended was in another country which gave me free public healthcare during the length of my studies.

New York Penal Law Section 490.25 "Crime of terrorism", which is one of the statues of the second count under which Luigi has been charged, reads: A person is guilty of a crime of terrorism when, with intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, influence the policy of a unit of government by intimidation or coercion, or affect the conduct of a unit of government by murder, assassination or kidnapping, he or she commits a specified offense.

I do not believe that the Luigi has intimated the civilian population. A shop in his hometown has a portrait of him depicted as Jesus. Luigi did not attempt to target a unit of government; he wrote an explanatory note to "The Feds".

I think that many what many people are saying is that universal, single-payer health care is expected to be a function of government, and in fact something like the opposite is being protected.

I really hope that the District Attorney has the argument for the second count pinned down, or that it is dropped. I think that is where the ethical test for this crime lays.
To add to that, always know your rights and responsibilities. Don't let anyone walk on your rights and make sure you do at least what you are supposed to do. From moving to a different country, people will prey on you so fast if they realize you don't know your rights (rental rights are soooo much different here than in the US, for example, and they will literally prey on your fear of being evicted). In essence, knowing what you CAN do and MUST do can make all the difference in the world.

Houses might be a source of income if rented, but they are poor investments as a primary residence. On average, the cost of housing tracks with inflation. While it is typical to sell a house for more than the purchase price, the value is diluted by inflation (even worse with a mortgage).
"The firefighters earn $5.80-$10.24 per day plus $1 an hour when responding to active emergencies"

"The CDCR crews have at times accounted for as much as 30% of the wildfire force in the state."
My understanding is that magnesium blood tests are not reliable. Since magnesium is a natural element found in foods such as spinach, nuts, seeds, and whole grains, you know it is safe. Try a supplement and if it helps with muscle stiffness or sleep then you have a magnesium deficiency.

Another benefit of this is that in a complex environment, this helps the user check that they have the correct manual, so they don't waste their time trying to absorb it for no good purpose, realizing only some time later that it was some other manual that they wanted.

There are plenty of scenarios which can be discussed in detail which have no possibility of coming to pass. Zombie apocalypse fiction, for instance.

I never had any beef against Ladybird. To bring this conversation to full circle, I merely clarified there are at least a few other promising new indie browsers that don’t use Chromium. In the event that Apple does abandon WebKit- which wouldn’t mean the termination of the project anyway!- I would simply use one of those alternative browsers.

Edit: while we are on the subject of wild hypotheticals, there’s also the DOJ suggesting Google split off Chrome into its own company for antitrust.

Actually, what allows for "94% carbon free" is the production mix. In our case that would be nuclear at 42% share, hydro 19%, wind 18%, bio 13% - leaving only single digit percentage to coal, gas and oil.

Ever wished you could time-travel just to say 'I told u so'? 2.0
So a while ago I posted my tolduvault site, where you can save your timestamped predictions. Alot of feedback received, and mainly around the fact that perhaps its best that quotes are saved to actual users to get more credibility. And harder to cheat.

Well some major changes has just been introduced, and more to come!

- Auth is now mandatory when you want to create quotes
- You have 5 public quotes available, and you can't mark a quote as private again if its public (to avoid cheating)
- Whenever you share your quote card, theres a link on your handle to view your public feed
- All your public quotes will be listed there

These are the main changes that's been introduced!
I'm planning to add alot more, like trends, analytics, custom handles, pro plan (or one-time purchase?), gamification ++.

Check it out, feedback wanted!

Love <3
Whilst games were loading we used to go outside and play football or whatever. Taking turns to run indoors to check loading hadn’t crashed. I got to enjoy the rugged real world, and offline technology; for that I’m very grateful.

I'll add my experience to the mix. I was in Thailand in the early 2000s and we were eating at a night market and I heard a song that sounded like something by the Beatles or another 60s band. I started looking for what it might have been when I got back to the states a year later; did it say doctor Jones? Friends and google were no help. Anyway, 20 years later I asked ChatGPT and it come back with "New York Mining Disaster 1941" by the Bee Gees... Simply incredible. I suppose there will be fewer of these decade long searches now!
Love to see these youths reclaim the word "hacker."

It is hard to take the student's post as anything but feigned innocence at how this solution could be viewed as registration tampering & abuse. I can imagine ignorance before the school reacted, but failing to grasp their position after receiving a expulsion threat shows either a major deficit of cognitive empathy or dishonesty.

This makes me skeptical of any follow-on claims or discussion.
It is usually free and kind of magical to talk to a lawyer, though.

Only use WIN on dedicated games-only computer. Please save us, Steam OS!!

Once Steam OS becomes mainstream, I will never boot Windows anywhere ever again.

Windows does NOT care. What kind of OS comes with bloatware out of the box???

So many bugs.

So many bs out of the box behaviours when installing that require secret recipes from the internet to work around.

No thanks.
This is the first time I've heard of that. Glad I stumbled across this, even though I hate the taste.

I think this is more likely. Two different routers impacted. Crappy grounding or induced noise causing high BER on the links.
Funny, I just signed up for a Facebook account this week after the news,having deleted mine in 2017. In my opinion, they are taking a step in the right direction. Clearly others disagree, which is their right. What isn't someone's right is to dictate truth, which is what Facebook will ostensibly do less of. Bravo
I'd rather do that than sit in a cell.

Professional firefighters have to compete with prisoners for pay depressing firefighting wages.

Prisoners have to do dangerous work and suffer long term health consequences for no compensation. Reduced sentences don’t count because the base sentence can be set to whatever the state requires to meet slave labor demands.

Society loses because slave labor artificially reduces the cost of natural disasters. If slave labor is required to make an area safe for habitation then I submit that is not a safe place for habitation.

The ends do not justify the means.
I'm crippled and have a handicap tag for my car, but I'll still park in the back, depending on the store. Trying to get out of handicap spots at Target, Trader Joes, or Costco is always a nightmare because people have no patience.
Given you said and beyond I decided to start at Q1 2027 and work back. :D

The robotics landscape is something I track very closely, I don't know people realize that space is progressing very quickly, just in terms of the lego being there and the supply chains really coming together, couple that with stable diffusion... interesting. 90% chance the most "shocking" to non-tech people stuff will come from there.

I also think a breakthrough could emerge in atomically precise manufacturing[1]. There's a 30/40% chance we'll see commercial viability for specific semiconductor components. Not yet real production but enough to demonstrate potential for chip fab. I've been reading about selfhealing polymers, I think those have 80% chance of becoming viable for applications like deep sea cables.

I think quantum computing continues to be a dark horse. Very low chance we'll see a 1000+ logical qubit system demonstrating quantum advantage in narrow but commercially valuable chemistry simulations, but the possibility will probably accelerate look for quantum resistant cryptography in finance/generally (80% likely imo). Also watching to see when topological bits become practical, but guessing that's 2028 thing.

We're already seeing the hints that linical trials for Cas9 engineered specifically for human microbiome editing, seem reasonably likely (60%), programmable bacteria (40%). Drug discover will really take off this year I think, and custom medicine will become huge in 2026/2027. I think apple will start conducting clinical trials using their devices with FDA approval this year (80%).

The socioeconomic landscape could shift dramatically. 100% chance increase in terrorism and civil unrest. 100% chance of UBI conversation becoming forefront by the end of the year. I think generally we'll see more like DOGE that the states are doing. 100% chance autonomous vehicles gain traction in more markets, 70% chance international expansion in a major way, 100% chance of a new entry into the autonomous transit space we didn't expect. 0% chance there is meaningful progress in sonic transit. 50/50 on gravitic propulsion ;)

Wildcard predictions: 15% chance of discovering a room temperature superconductor under specific magnetic fields, and a 15% chance that memristor lead to analog neural networks outperforming or at least being udserstood as relevant vs digital ones in specific applications, 80% memristor arrays are used at the edge by the end of 2026. solid state batteries hit 500Wh/kg+ in production samples (25% likely).

Most important thing that will happen in 2025/2026: quantum enabling radically new understanding of protein folding.

The main reason the vector arithmetic of Word2Vec worked is due to how it was trained (directly training the network with a shallow network such that the entire knowledge for the model is contained within the embeddings). This is not the case with any modern embedding model.

At most with current models, you can average embeddings together.

I’m not saying don’t delete your account - I still don’t have one, but be aware that it may not be as simple as just creating a new one if you change your mind in the future.

Ask HN: A friend has brain cancer: any bio hacks that worked?
A friend recently got diagnosed with stage 4 GBM. It's the 4th person I know who has it, and it's getting old, so I want to help, bio-hacking style.

I stumbled upon these guys who built a helmet that rotates strong magnets to create oscillating magnetic fields in the brain. They claim the oscillating magnetic fields cause cancer cell death through mechanisms I don't understand at all.

In a similar vein, Ramanujan famously proved that e^(sqrt(67) pi) is an integer.

And obviously exp(i pi) is an integer as well, but that's less fun.

(Note: only one of the above claims is correct)
