There is no claim that it had anything to do with the UN General Assembly ('within 35 miles' covers a lot more than the UN General Assembly). They do say senior US officials were targeted.

Modern shops are designed to encourage purchasing. And security discourages purchasing. So just enough is done to keep shoplifting below a manageable level while maximizing profits. The use of invasive systems here is an attempt to increase

In the KMart case, it would not have been interpreted differently if people were doing the facial recognition rather than a computer. The issue was indiscriminate use on everyone who walked in, without permission or proper notification. Whi

I know Firefox works fine, even if you use a decent tunnel, but if that is too commercial and bleeding edge perhaps the Ladybird project is actually a solution if it gets up speed?

The thing about terrorists is you can shoot live bullets at protesting terrorists and hold survivors in offshore military prisons, and anyone with a problem with this are supporting terrorism. It might even become legal.

I think many cathedrals like Notre Dame were completed several times. It was 182 years from construction until the last addition was finished. Whereas Sagrada Familia is only now just completing its original design. When I first saw the str

When the commission is to create the most impressive structure possible, anything less would be a failure. That is just how the Catholic church rolls. See most European art and culture for the last 1500 years for details.

Feel free to replace 'UN investigators' with any of the other people or organizations who have been forced to recognize that the evidence is overwhelming, even against their best interest. Appealing to no authority except the evid

So it could be possible if the cancelling came from the source of the wave, such as making the spinning fan or its enclosure the speaker? I guess the 'fan as the noise cancelling speaker' idea could be reworded as 'a fan with

Unfortunately the evidence is overwhelming, without compelling counter arguments, to the point of fact. To the point of the UN investigators concluding it is genocide. Denial is unbelievable. All that is left is justification.

Conversely, some of us don't hang out on sites that are an endless bombardment of political discourse. That sounds awful. The HN approach seems uniquely useful. One or two post on an event, easily skipped over and ignored if you want w

Even if you stored the timezone, the values are technically ambiguous. Even when you are using globally unique timezone identifiers like 'America/New_York' instead of 'EST' and its several meanings. A timestamp such

China put retaliatory tariffs in place and placed restrictions on the exports of rare earths, calling the US bluff and forcing them to negotiate down to where things stand today.

The negotiators agreed to demands under threat of tariffs that they believed would soon disappear? That makes no sense.

I didn't realize it was a modal. Rendered as the full page here, with an 'X' in the top right corner the only indication the real site was behind it.

I kind of like the randomness of platform specific. Never know if you are going to be squirting someone with a water pistol or blowing their brains out.

This is all so archaic. Why are we sticking to a hard coded list? Instead, we just need emoji_start and emoji_end codepoints. The text between is rendered by AI into an emoji. :homer_simpson_unsure_if_joking_or_not_meme:

Seems to me, any case where a robot needs to navigate an environment built for able bodied humans. Quadrupeds get close, but even they will encounter spaces we have organized for ourselves that they can't navigate in. An immediately us

You have to factor in the cost of the tools. And also, just because an employee is producing more code or more reports or more trades or more summaries per day, that doesn't guarantee the company will make more money. If you enabled yo

I'm mostly curious if those distortions capture a sense of movement or motion in the pistons, with their regular sinusoidal beats. And no idea how steam clouds would come out. Our minds also visualize the moving parts differently to ho

Anyone know of a steam train captured in the same way? I'm interested in the effect of the parts with vertical motion such as the pistons and steam clouds, combined with the largely static body.

Suppressing is a form of harassment. The easiest and most common way of suppressing speech is to just keep shouting at an opponent so nobody can hear what they are saying. As discussed in the article, a situation where the platform was unus

Human hair is probably easiest to source in quantity, given it is a waste product in hair dressers world wide. Other current uses are wigs, and cleaning oil spills.
